' Q ' t ' --John Donne n Bridging The Atlantic i This slogan was seen throughout the halls of Westport last year, and stock was sold in ' order to obtain money for 'bringing our first exchange student to Westport. I Kerstin Lllja Kerstin is from Stockholm, Sweden and came to ourhigh school through the American Field Service Exchange program. While at Westport, she is staying with Mr. 8: Mrs. ,Edwin Bently. She is taking a typical Senior program including senior literature and ACap- pella Choir. She speaks German, French, English, and Swedish. Her outstanding and genuine friendliness has won her many friends at Westport. O It is easy to see that Kerstin has found American edu- cation to be very stimulating.

Westport's new foreign-exchange student Svenska Flicka Kommer till Westport den 'll Augusti Westport's foreign exchange stu- dent, Kerstin Lilya tSars'tin Leel'yaJ, from Stockholm, Sweden, arrived in the U.S. on August 11, 1958. She is a senior and is taking English Literature, American His- tory, speech, choir, typing, and American Problems. Kerstin is staying at the home of Karen and Diana Bentley. She was 17 years old September 6. Much of Kerstin's spare time is spent in doing her homework. The main problem is reading and under- standing English. Remembering all the names of the people she meets is another problem for Kerstin. Kerstin has experienced many new things while in America and her favorite foods are hamburgers with pickles, and watermelon. She is looking forward to second semester because she will be taking driver's education tin Sweden she cannot drive until she is 181. Clothes are the same there, except they do not wear bermudas and bobby socks. About being homesick, Kerstin says, I am not homesick. I do miss some of my friends, but I have met many people at Westport and it is a wonderful experience that I shall never forget' One disadvantage for Kerstin, but she doesn't mind, is that she will have to make up this year back in Sweden. After returning she will still have two years of high school, and then she is planning to go to a university. Swedish schools are based more on a college level and a little more serious than ours. They have 14 diierent subjects a week, and less extra-curricular activities. Kerstin has been here only a short time, but all who have met her agree that she is really a wonderful girl. Westporters hope that Kerstin enjoys her year and benefits from the short time she will spend with them. Enrollment Status Quo Well, here fwe year, minus two there aren't too just seems that are again another pupils. This year many studentsg it way. They -have either grown over the summer or had too many Frosties . According to the facts and fig- ures we have 1,620 students, and last year we had a total of 1,622. The freshman, and sophomore classes are the largest, While the 8th grade is unusually small. The senior class uis the smallest, but ac- cording to 233 seniors, it's definitely the best. SINK THE VIKES n. iemoriam All of Westport High School has suffered a great loss at the death of Mr. George Keen- an. Westpoi-t's band and or- chestra instructor tor many years. His death occurred August 19 in Concord. New Hampshire, where he was vis- iting with his family. Mr. Keenan studied music in Europe and gained much valu- able experience in music through theater work in New York City. He came to West- port in 1924 .and after many years of teaching he left West port to teach in two other Kan- sas City high schools, South- west and Northeast. He re- turned to Westport again in 1955 where he remained until his death. Any band under the direc- tion of Mr. Keenan was noted for its discipline and showman- ship as a concert band. Mr. Keenan has taken Westport to the National Music Festival as well as the Missouri State Music Contest. and each band and orchestra which has parti- cipated has received many high honors.. The band and or- chestra trophies displayed in the trophy cases i.n the front hall were all won by Westport bands and orchestras under his competent and qualified lead- ership. Mr. Keenan was a composer as well as a great director and instructor. The Westport Loy- alty Song is just one example 'of his musical genius. .Mr. Keenan, so long respect- ed and loved by all of West port. will always be remember- ed, and his spirit shall live tor- ever in the hearts of all the Westporters who knew him. One spring -day last year a Westport student, who was delivering a load of books to a school room, bumped against the door as he entered and was showered with plaster from the ceiling of the hall. Fortunately, he was uninjured. A A few weeks ago a Westport teacher fell down a flight of Westport stairs and had to -have medical attention. These accidents occurred not because of 'clumsiness but because of the poor condition of our school. Not only is the school poor in repair, but it is poor in facilities such as: blackout shades, laib equipment, maps, and special 'facilities for the band and orchestra. It is true that Westport has -had the 'halls painted, the auditorium repaired and the trophy cases installed in the past several years, -but that does not help the science department, the music department, and all the other class rooms at Westport. Although the administration and teachers try to secure much needed equipment, Westport still 'falls far short of what is needed if the students in her halls are to receive a proper education. lt is thought that now is the time for students, under the leadership of the student council and faculty, to join together as a team to put on pressure so that we may secure much needed equipment and repairs. Crier-Herald Divides Seperate Staffs This year Crier staff and the Herald staff are to be two separate units. In previous years, both were part of the newswriting class, now the Herald is an extra-curricular activity. The staff meets after school on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursdays, and sometimes on Saturday. However, the Crier will continue to appear in the back sec- tion of the Herald each year. There will be several changes made in this year's Herald: one of the most im- portant will be the fact that the un- derclassmen will have their pictures taken free of charge.

ADVERTISERS Sa-m Senior p PAGE THREE Students Honured Praise from White House Last June Miss Marie Brubaker sent to President Eisenhower a copy of Ann Newton's prize essay, which has won first place in the city and county, and second place in the state contest sponsored by the Women's Auxiliary of the Veterans -of Foreign Wars. CThese medals are on dis- play in the cases in the main cor- ridor.J The essay on citizenship used some of the ideas expressed by Mr. Eisenhower, when he was president of Columbia University, in an ar- ticle called An Open Letter to Stu- dents. Miss Bru-baker always reads this article to her students. She believed that the President would be happy to know how many stu- dents have been inspired 'by it. The essay was sent as an example. A prompt and gracious reply of praise from the White House was received, in which it was pointed out that September 17 CConstitu- tion Dayl 'by order of the President is now made 'Citizenship Day and that the week of September 17-23 should be designated Constitution Week. An annnouncement concerning this contest for this year will be made soon. Student Works in Summer Stock ll-lannah Tague, a Westport sen- ior, had the thrilling experience of working summer stock this past summer. She was in three plays, two of which were at the Bellroad Barn Playhouse in Parkville, Mis- sourig the other was at the White Masque Theatre in Independence, Missouri. In one of the plays, Han- nah had the leadg in the other two, she had smaller, but important parts. SUBSCRIBE TO CRIER - HERALD PAGE FOUR Her first play was Lady Winde- merets Fan. in which she portrayed the part of Lady Stutfield. Her sec- ond play was Hello Out There. This play had no names for the charac- ters, only characterizations, and -Hannah portrayed the part of a hard woman. Her third play, and the most important one, -was The Curious Savage. In this play, she had the difficult task of portraying an insane woman. Hannah liked this play most because she played the lead, and because it was the most difficult and challenging role that she had. Hannah has also 'been in several plays at Westport. This summer has given her invaluable experience for her future career. Carol Shipley Wins Again.

Tiger Den will have more pro- grams aside from the regular Tiger Dens, such as Sadie Hawkins Tiger Den and Halloween Tiger Den. This should provide for more entertain- ing Tiger Dens. ' For many years our Tiger Den has been rated as the best Teen Town in Kansas City. A great deal of credit goes to the parent com- mittee, which this year is headed by Mr. Al Miller. Another reason our Tiger Den is the best is be- cause of the attendance. Due to this fact, more rules and strict en- :forcement of these rules are need- ed at Westport than at some other schools.

The Pirates scored first in the opening quarter on a two-yard drive by Bob Allison. In the second peri- od Paseo was charged with a rough- ing-the-leicker penalty and the Ti- ger drive was under way. Ford Fredrickson went for 37 yards and Phil Myles went for a 16-yard touchdown jaunt around the Pirate's right end. Neither team scored in the third period. In the fourth quarter Paseo was backed up in front of their goal line with Diclr Kenworthy kicking. As the ball was snapped, the Pirate line failed to hold out the hard-charging West- port line. Larry Holland blocked the kick. Following behind Larry was Jay Bucher, who fell on ball for the second touchdown. Phil Myles added 'both extra uoints., An outstanding defensive game was 'played by' Jim. Gray, .Kohn Blessing, and Gary Gillihan. The team reports that the feel- ing after winning a game is great and they don't expect to lose that feeling. Tiny Tigers Wim The Westport Freshmen defeated Argentine, 14-0 in their :first game of the season. Both touchdowns were scored by fullback Ed Meads. Mr. Ross, the new freshman coach, said the Argentine team did not get past the fifty-yard line at any time during the game.. f Schedule ' October 10m Northeast at East 'Octdber :17 - Van Horn at East October 23 ...

The two chosen, both seniors, were Larry Tank Holland and Phil Flash Myles. Larry Holland is a 5'10 ', 215- pound guard. He lettered both his sophomore and junior years, and last year he was -chosen Honor- able Mention? on the All-City team. Phil Myles is one of those speedy, .hard-hitting back that can run fif- ty yards in 6.6 seconds. He is 5'8 tall and weighs 168 pounds. Phil lettered his junior year. The lmost important duty of these two is to keep the team bustling and determined to win. The entire team -agrees that these two have done a great job and will continue to keep up the good work. Tigers Lose Two Friday night, September 12, West- port lost its first football game to Central. Westport was again bothered by fumbles, recovering only one out of five. Even considering these fum- bles, the Tiger backs didn't do too badly. Pfhil Myles led the way with seventy-one yards, Ford Fredrick- son was second with fifty-one, and Gary Gillihan was third with forty- seven. The Westport Tigers lost their sec- ond game of the season to Rosedale 'by a fairly close score of 25 to 19- John McQuitty scored twice in the third quarter and once in the fourth quarter. David Watkins, on an in- tercepted pass, scored their first touchdown. The Tigers scored three touch- downs in the hard-fought battle. John Hursman caught a twenty- three yard pass from Dan Hudgins and went over for the first touch- down in the first quarterg Phil Myles made the conversion. Ford Fredrickson went over from the five in the third. The final Westport touchdown was on a twelve-yard run by Mike Staggs in the fourth quarter. The score by quarters was?

No. z Kansas City, Missouri October 23, 1958 Maverick in herd IIIIIUERICH to H.c. On Tuesday, September 30, five members of the Crier Staff attend- ed a press conference at the Hotel Muehlebach featuring Jack Kelly l'Bart Maverickj, and his movie star wife, May Wynn. The conference was given in behalf of the United Campaign. As might 'be expected, Maverick is not as' handy with cards as it might appear. He learned to han- dle cards well from a well-known card manipulator, Charles Wilson. When the camera shows a close-up of his hands, the hands are not ac- tually his, fbut those of a profession- al card handler. He also admitted that he does not play poker as well off the screen as he does on the screen. When the scene calls for a tribe of In-dians on the warpath, a run- away stage, or a daring bank rob- bery, these scenes areinot shot with the show, but are parts of old mov- ies that are in stock. IMaverick's mother was a well- known Powers model, and he said that she helped him get his first job-a ba-by model for a well-known soap company at the age of two weeks. He was born thirty-one years ago in 1927. He was sign- ed to do the Maverick role exactly one year ago on September 30. When asked his opinion on rock and roll, he said rather hesitantly that he had no definite opinion on the subject, but by the tone of his voice, indicated that he did not care too much for it. Maverick first met his wife five years ago, while working in the same studio, but they did not pay much attention to each other. About two years ago they met again quite by chance, and were married with- in two weeks. The performer's versatility was shown when the microphone went out of order, and he was forced to ad lib for several minutes until an- other microphone was rushed to the rescue. After the interview, Maverick and his wife were rushed with requests for autographs, which they gave willingly. The charming personali- ty of the couple quickly won the admiration of the crowd. SZHSZ T0 FREEDDIII October, 19563 Budapest, Hungary. The 'Freedom Fighters' are in con- trol of the city. . . . t'Radio Buda- pest reports the revolution is under control. The dateline is two years old and the international news of today is concerned with other crisis. Two years ago in Hungary behind the Iron Curtain was a boy named Peter Szasz. He was a boy like thousands of other Hungarian youth caught in a few days of dramatic fighting when the balance between freedom and enslavement walked a thin line. Today, Peter is a senior at Westport, having been in the United States almost since the last radio dispatch from Hungary told the world that enslavement had been the temporary victor. Since his arrival in the United States, the status of Peter has changed from the classification of refugee to his present official posi- tion as a regular immigrant. Dur- ing the three months he was a ref- ugee in Western 'Europe and the United States, he had many experi- ences. His most outstanding im- pression was and is the friendliness of the people and their attitude to- ward him. Vienna. Austria One such experience was a brief episode in Vienna, Atustria. We went into a cafe to have a cup of doffee. Well, first of all, the owner daidn't let us pay for what we ate. Then, a priest came to us and bless- one by one. I won't long as I live. ed the group, forget this as we arrived in the perfect strangers - even remember and probably won't see again in my lifetime -- gave us clothes. Or, when United States, whom I don't Another experience is when Peter first attended school. When his classmates talked to him he couldn't understand them. So he came in contact with his first problem - the language barrier. He found that 'in school - language was what he needed the most. Although when- he came to Kansas City, he could understand what the people talked aboutg he sti'll had some difficulty in conversation with them. Arrival at Westport Peter attended Westport for two months last semester and his opin- ion of the school is very high. After I was going to this school for a few weeks, I was really sur- prised that Westport had a bad rep- utation in Kansas City, because I .found it so nice. But my opinion didn't change and l'm positive that this is the best school in Missouri. ADDITIONS AND ONE OMISSION An addition to Westport's faculty this year is Mr. Rex Schmideskamp. Mr. Schmideskamp attended South- west Missouri State College and now is teaching drafting, general shop and metals. An omission from the last issue New Faces Brighten Westport is Mrs. Martha Garlock. This is es- pecially embarrassing because Mrs. Carlock is an alumae of Westport. She formerly taught at Central Jun- ior High and is happy to be back at Westport. Also, Mrs. Sandra Kauffman has returned to the 8th grade depart- ment teaching Common' Learnings. SCHDOL SPIRIT What exactly is school spirit? ls it the number of persons in a Pep Club? Is it the loudness of the cheers at the school's games? Is it the number of people who attend a school event? Or is school spirit the feeling each individual has about his school? Whatever school spirit is, Westport High seems to lack it. Out of the many students who attend our school, it seems that at least one-half of our school's students could attend her activities. Surely each student is proud of his school. They Why not support her, not only at games, but at Tiger Den, school plays, and all other school activities? Let's prove to our school and the other schools of Kansas City that we are proud of Westport by showing 'our greatest enthusiasm at all her func- tions, .

PAGE TWO STUDENT Fll0lll lITTlE. ll0lIl-l 'tl will never open the public schools as an integrated institution. This is the last of many similar statements from the governor of Arkansas, Orval Faubus. One direct result of such state- ments is a transfer student at West- port, Rodney Nelbert, A sophomiore, Rodney has come to Little Rock to continue his education. The move was made when- Rodney's parents heard rumors in late summer that the public schools were not going to open. Mter rumors became facts, Rodney has come to Kansas City to live with his aunt and uncle and entered Westport. The main contrast between West- port and Rodney's former school is that his school .was only,one year old. However, to Rodney-'Westport is O. K. ' He doesn't care whether schools here or there are integrated. The decision as to whether he would re- turn to Little Rock and school de- pends upon when the difficulties in that city and state are settled. Rodney was featured in the Kan- sas City Siar with several other stu- dents from Little Rock now attend- ing schools in the greater Kansas City area. CHOIR The first hour Girls' -Chorus un- der the direction of Miss Marian Downing, accompanied by Mrs. Har- ling Spring elected class officers. They are as follows: President, Bar- Tbara Browng vice-president, Sha- ron McGaughg assistant director, Ruth West, secretary, Margo Ca- naleg treasurer, Harriet Owensg and news reporter, Darlene Shadvxcell. The librarians 'are Carol Sue How- ard, Nancy Lane, and Janet Schu- bert. The Girls' Chorus will take part in assemblies as well as making other appearances. The group of forty-nine is composed of freshmen, sophomore, junior, and -senior girls. The girls are n-ow planning their dresses. THE WESTPORT CRIER WESTPDRT Receives Honors Wayne A. Fogel, a Westport sen- ior, has been notified that he has reached the semi-finalist classifica- tion in the 'National Merit Scholar- ship examination. Last spring he was given this test with sixty-two other Westport stu- dents and was in competition with students from 14,000 high schools in the United States. Ten thousand seniors qualified in the upper one- half of a per cent. 'The group of 10,000 semi-finalists is composed of the highest scorers in each state, pro-rated according to state popula- tion. All the semi-finalists now will take a three-hour examination on December 6. Besides this, they will be rated on test scores, high school grades, extra-curricular ac- tivities, school citizenship and lead- ership. lt is expected that 95 -per cent of the semi-finalists will qualify as fin- alists. These will receive four-year ischolarship awards from American industries averaging S650 a year. Although Wayne was the only 'qualifying' senior at Westport, five others ranked very close to him. They were Irvin Jennings, Bonnie Cady, Paula Luther, Bryant Phil- green, and Larry Seale. Student Council At the first Student -Council meet- ing of the year, Dr. Richard A. Ball gave an opening address about the year ahead and the responsibilities of the Student Council. Mr. Dan Fitzhugh followed with his appreciation 'ofbeing able to work with the Student Council. Mr. Fitzhugh relayed to the Stu- dent Council an idea of his for a place where Westport students could have meetings, teentown, and other social events. George Marsh, president, of the Student Council, ended the meeting with a talk concerning the school spirit of Westporters and how we can help boost our school spirit.

The drive is built on the same plan as that of the adult drive, with students heading the campaign and conducting their report meet- ings. Unlike the adult drive, however, it is not measured in dollars and cents but in its educational value. The real purpose is to teach the student his responsibility toward his community. The administration is divided in- to four groups: Co-chairmen - There are three appointed to represent the public, parochial and private schools. 'This appointment is made by the school administrations. Area generals - Each high school principal chooses' one person to rep- resent the school in the campaign. Colonels - Each elementary school has a colonel appointed by the prin- cipal of the school. Captains - The teacher of each classroom may appoint a captain to conduct the drive in the homeroom period. On November 13, there will be a city-wide report in the Municipal Auditorium and Westport's general will report on the results of the drive for this area. 'This year may bring about the end or the continuation of United Funds. Compliments of the Society of Degenerate Musicians Some organizations want to con- duct seperate drives. For seven years the United Campaign has striven to do its best and this year will determine whether this plan of a general drive once a year or il new plan will be adopted. ESSAY CONTESTS I.

PAGE THREE Painting of the Month Our school library is featuring paintings that are from the Kansas City, Missouri Public Library in the Airt, Music and Film department. They are copies of the originals and are to -be paintings from some of the newer artists to the oldest. They will .be in the library for a month or more. This month's pictures are Girl of the Half Doort' by Rembrandt, a 17th century artist, and The Bridge by Munch, a 20th century artist. Miss Maddox's -English Literature classes have written their interpre- tations of the painting 'tThe Bridge. Here are some exernts from the themes: Phil Myles: This is indeed lone- liness and suffering. I think Ed- ward Munch is trying to convey the sufferings Vin. life and the cross- ing of bridges as you reach them. He is trying to make people think. Rodney Thompson: They have no faces because they have no identi- ty. The girls, I like to think have stopped on the bridges of life, prob- ably 'between adolescence and young maidenhood, to consider the troubles which lay ahead. Carol Shibley: The drooping, straggling, uncertain figures of the four girls show deep, troubling des- pair. The dark, drab colors of the sky and water convey a feeling of depression and loneliness.

Ann is a member of W Club and the Wilson Literary Society. She holds the Bronze pin in the Honor Society and has played var- sity football for two years as an end. Her football nickname is Bimbo. Her very special like is Bridgitte Bardot. She has a long list of other likes so here they are: 1. homelunch 2. loafing 3. working on cars 4. roaring up McGee 5. neat clothes 6. Last, but not least, she wants Westport to take this years football championship. Her favorite records are Tears On My Pillow and Topsy, Part 2. If you have a lot of money-stay away from Ann, because she doesn't ,.4- .Z like you, or so she says anyway. Another dislike is homework. She loves to eat, but her favorite foods are hamburgers and onion rings. After high school she would like to go to college and major in chem- istry. John is getting impatient to be interviewed as he has to rush to a Promethean meeting and he has to be there as he is the president. He is a member of the Pep Club and a cheer leader this year. The Execu- tive Board of Student Council and the Honor Society are a few of the other things that John belongs to. By the way he holds the Bronze pin in the Honor Society. Last year John was Dream Girl Attendant he really wowed the boys. John, as many others do. likes Pizza. Secondly he likes barbacue sandwiches from Rosedale Barba- cue. Any kind of music suits John, but in the line of movie stars, he especially likes Rock Hudson and dislikes Bridgette Bardot. His favorite pastimes are cheer- ing the ole' team and dating a cer- tain person in a certain Green Bomb, which incidentally spits fire, so we've heard. John plans a nursing career after he gets out of high school. Question of this issue- What should be done about the loitering of riff-raff before and af- ter school? Ann-- Should be collected and thrown in the trash can. John- Should be sprayed with insecticide. af' UIORH Ill PLIW Really, I could spit has become a favorite saying of David Bark- house and Terry Hughes. Why? Well, it seems as though they were members of the cast in the latest production of the Players. Terry and Dave performed for two weeks in Lady in the Dark. David played three roles in this musical 'by Moss Hart: office boy, Charles, a student, and a school boy. Terry played the drums and mem- orized the funny parts between songs. Both boys worked a total of one month in this very funny play. David is a very active Westport student as can be seen by his many activities: Chaplain of Browning, a member of Speech Arts, President of the American Royal Board, Sec- retary of the Society of Degenerate Musicians, and business manager of a dance band. Terry, the character of the two- some, is in addition to being one of Kansas City's top high school drum- mers, a member of Wilson, Presi- dent of the Society of Degenerate Musicians, member of the Crier Staff, and general all-around screw ball and a half. When asked what they liked best about working at the Barn, David replied, Melinda! Terry answered simply, 'Alt was a ball! Don't let them kid you. They will claim it was work, but all they did was play every night from 7 to ll. Teasing the actresses was real- ly the hardest work accomplished by these two splendid fellows.

The buildings represent the people they wish 'to escape. The sun may be the symbol of hope slowly dissolv- ing. Sandy Shrou-t: We can see only that they have paused in their trou- bles and that each is thinking her own problems in her own thoughts. In the simplicity of this painting, I can see cold and warmth, loneliness, and companionship, darkness and light. Carol Shipley: Here and eternity would be unconnected except for the bridge of life. Sometimes this bridge is long: sometimes short. All types and molds of people cross this bridge. They may be th-ought of as the four girls Munch depicts. Connie Izard: In life 'the bridge is the span of time between now and the future. The four figures represent people facing the thing unknown, the future. 1 riff lk ff - A -,xxx Iii I . 4 xx I s -Ji 7 ix. - ji!

William Volker was a household-goods merchant who be- came a multimillionaire and gave away an estimated ten million dol- lars to charity before he died in 1947. As the last work of the great Sculptor Carl Milles, the memorial was also a tribute to the sculptor, who more than any other believed art should be public and placed in the sunlight to be enjoyed., Carl Milles began what turned out to be his last work in M'ichigan's Cranbrook Academy of Art in 1950, finished five years later in Rome, called it the most difficult statue I have made. Milles earlier turned down the suggested subject for the memorial, a figure of the Good Sa- maritan, in favor of St. Martin of Tours, a fourth century Roman soldier. St. Martin, in the depths of the drastic winter of 332 A.D. in France, cut his cloak in two with his sword and gave half to a freez- ing begger. To give full scope to his heroic theme, Milles carved a 14-foot high figure of St. Martin on horseback splitting his cloak, and the beggar's hand upraised at the base of the pedestal. Milles could not resist adding grace notes of Puckish humor to the attendant figures, two angles and a faun. When visiting the fountain, look for the wristwatch on one angel's arm and notice that he is scratch- ing his leg. Also, notice the angel playing the flute. The dedication of the statues climaxed the efforts of hundreds of Kansas Citizens who have joined together in a community tribute to the late William Volker, and at the same time, have made an important contribution to the city's cultural center. lThe cultural center includes West- port High School on the North and the University of Kansas City and the William Volker campus on the South.

All four Westport touchdowns were scored by Mike Staggs, Westport's fullback. Mike scored the touchdowns on rushes of 27 yards, 38 yards, Syards, and 16 yardsg moreover, he leads in the yardage gained with a total of 125 yards. Gene Burns was second with 87 yards. Bruce Lingenfelter, Jan Under- wood, and Larry Holland opened some very fine holes for the Tiger backs to scamper through. John Hursman was responsible for two points by blocking a Lincoln punt. The team played a fine de- veloped defensive game, holding Lincoln scoreless. John Blessing, Jay Bucher, and Mike Staggs all made four tackles each. Tigers Stopped Friday night, October 9, the West- port Tigers lost a very exciting game to the Northeast Vikings on the East field by a score of 25-20. Westport got into the scoring column first with Gene Burns taking the ball over on an eight-yard pitchout around right end. Two minutes later the Vikes scored on a 40-yard pass from :Bernie Ricono to Jerry Boone. Northeast scored twice in the second period, once on a pass from Ricono to John Glorioso and the other on a lateral from Ricono to Ed. Maxwell who proceeded to throw a 41-yard pass to Glorioso in the end zone. The Tigers scored twice in the third quarter on passes of 61 yards and 27 yards from Dan Hudgins to Floyd Nails. Northeast scored again in the fourth quarter to make the score 25-20. With only a minute and forty-two seconds to play, Ronnie Bumgarner intercepted a Ricono- thrown pass and with the aid of some very fine downfield blocking fought his way back to the forty- yard line. On the first play Hud- gins attempted a pass to John Hurs- rnan that was intercepted, and a few seconds later the game ended.

Linder the capable leadership of Mr. Duane Miller, it has become one of the most colorful units in this area. The band gave outstanding performances at the Southeast game, in the Westport parade and in the nationally famous American Royal Parade. A band always provides addi- tional color to a game and when the band is as spirited as ours, it is an exceptional help to school spirit. One unusual contribution to the games by the band is the popular, B1eacher Boogie. What could be more natural than the Westport Band marching in the Westport Parade? They did, and re- ceived a warm reception. The parade route began at Westport Road and Broadway and ended at Loose Park in front of the review- ing stand. The band's proudest moment this year was in the American Royal Parade. For the first time in many 'years Westport's Band march- ed in the first division. As always .there was a tremendous crowd along the five mile route. Their novelty numbers, Military Escort, Swing Number , and Cadence Count greatly impressed the annual view- ers. tContinued on Page 5J WESTPORT'S DOURS UPENED On November 11, 1958, the par- ents and friends of Westport were given an opportunity to see an American High School in action. After greetaings from Dr. Richard Ball, principal, the first half of the program was devoted to musical numbers from the band and Girlis Glee Club. Under the direction of Mr. Duane Miller, the band mem- bers presented a melody which in- cluded Themes from a French Ballet and Tirore . Miss Marion Downing directed the glee club in their spirited Let There Be Song. The second half of the evening was spent in visiting the classrooms, meeting the instructors, and seeing the many and varied exhibits and displays of student work. The success of the evening was measured in the interest and num- ber of parents who took this op- portuniy to see first hand the ac- complishments of the Wbstport faculty and student body.

POLLED The American Royal is one of the most memorable events of the year throughout Kansas City. Apprxo- mately 200,000 people jammed downtown streets to see the differ- ent bands, the various saddle clubs and the many floats that were pre- sented. Additional thousands visit us during these few days and judge our city and her people on the basis of the days they are here. The CRIER staff decided to in- vestigate this situatfon and find out the impressions we make on some of the Future Farmers of America from various parts of the country. The interview consisted of the following questions: 1. How long have you been a member of the F.F.A.? 2. What was the most memorable part of your visit to Kansas City this year? 3. What is your opinion of Kan- sas City? 4. How did people of Kansas City treat you while you are here? -Ludon Rockmore, 18 years old, Georgia I have been in the F.F.A. four years. I enjoyed our trip to lVIissouri's capital, Jefferson City, the most. Kansas City is much nicer than I thought it would beg I like it very much. You all have treated us very nice.

Since this inscription from the Liberty Memorial we have seen a sec- ond World War and police action in Korea. Westport is proud of her former students who gave their lives fight- ing for such worthy causes as freedom and democracy. The memory of these courageous men will linger always throughout the halls of West- port. For those living who escaped from the wars with their lives, we have set aside one day of the year to honor them - Veteran's Day. What exactly is Veteran's Day? There is no real definition for it - only the hope that this will repay to some extent for the many scars of body and mind that our men and boys have brought 'home from the battlefields. Scripture: He that walketh with wise men shall be wise, but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. -Proverbs 13:20 NOVEMBER 27, 1958 When William Bradford prcclairned the first Thanksgiving, he and his people had, after many failures, harvested enough food to carry them through the winter. They had much to be thankful for because without food they could not last the winter. The people went to church to give thanks to God for the blessing which He had bestowed upon His people in the colony of Plymouth. President Lincoln later declared Thanksgiving Day as a national hol- iday. Now the last Thursday in November is the day set aside to give thanks for the blessings given us by God. People today, however, seem to 'be in too much of a hurry to notice God's gifts to man. -People do not think about all the iences that we as citizens in our great country enjoy. Indeed, many do not even go to church! government for granted, People do not appreciate how healthy they are modern conven- People take our Every person in our mighty land should give thanks each day to God for the right to say what he wants to say, for the right to worship, for the beauty which surrounds us. :Stop and think of all the people on Quemoy who live each moment in fear of their lives. Think of all the people in Korea and behind the Iron and Bamboo curtains. Living in our great country is considered a very great privilege, so let no one say he has no reason to give thanks. On Thanksgiving Day let eac-h in his own way give thanks unto Almighty God for His manifold blessings.

COLLEGE NIGHT What college are you going to? This question was asked by nearly everyone at College Night, October 28th. Approximately 125 students attended College night. Informa- tion about all types of colleges from all over the United States was available. CRIER QUESTIONAIRE After the first issue of the CRIER came out a questionnaire was hand- ed to a group of 29 stud-ents. The questionaire contained 10 questions on certain articles. Some of the most outstanding articles in their opinions werezz In Memoriam, Tiger Twosome, Sports Page, Under the Clock, and Shares Pay Off. Everyone believed Dear Wesger should be written in a more serious manner and there should be more of Under the Clock with no abbreviations. FOUR GIRLS PROMOTE Let's go Westport! This is the cry of four sophomore girls, lthe 58'-59' B Team Cheerleaders. Cathie Por- ter, Klaren Norfolk, Kerry Kreger, and Merrily Fine. The girls were chosen at a try-out last spring.

A Teenage Frankenstein Contest. Among the contestants were George Marsh, Jon Howell, Dave Izzard who won third, Bruce Ligen- felter who placed second, and Phil Myles, Teenage Frankenstein of Westport High School. For making the ,scariest face Phil was given 3 jazz record album. As usual there was the judging of the best costumes.

SURVIVED BASIC TRAINING James Arr and Richard Schmidt, two graduates from-Westport, have completed 13 weeks of basic train.- ing. Seaman James Arr entered the Coast Guard last May. After he completes his 6-month Active Duty he will return home to the reserve training unit. Seaman apprentice, Joseph R. Schmidt, entered ,the Coast Guard last July. He now will' report to the 14th Coast Guard District, Honolulu, Hawaii, for another assignment. DRIVING POLL On a visit to Miss Shirley May- nord's first ihour Psychology class, we put up for discussion the ques- tion of whether or not the driving age should be raised to eighteen. In a class of thirty-three, nineteen of the students operate a motor ve- hicle. The entire class agreed that -the driving age should remain at sixteen. Here are a few personal views: Phil Patterson: 'iPeople don't ne- cessarily drive better as they get older. Jay Bucher: Statistics show that more old people have traffic fines and accidents than young people. Carolyn Hubbell: People who drive recklessly at sixteen drive just as badly when they are older. Claudia Scott: lf there is to be an age limit on young drivers there should be an age limit on older driv- ers, also. We suggest you drive safely, no matter how old you are. Nlinety-four years ago last Octo- ber 23, the largest land battle of the' Civil War west of the Mississippi River was fought in and near pres- ent day Kansas City, a few blocks -from Westport High School. Thir- ty thousand men in blue and gray met on the field which is now the Plaza district and the .Country Club residential area. When the day's fighting was over, one thousand lay dead, and thousands were wounded. The battle began at sunrise on Sunday morning along the heights south of Brush Creek. The South- ern army was commanded lby -Ma- jor General Sterling Price, and the Union forces led by Major General 'Alfred Pleasanton, who had com- manded the cavalry at Chancelors- ville and Gettysburg. The Confederate cavalry forces attacked first and thus had the ini- tial advantage. The Union troops made a counterattack -across the creek but were soon pushed back. Additional charges also failed and then a small incident changed the course of the battle. Just as the Union forces were pre- paring to make a final all-out ef- fort, an old man, a citizen. of the town of Westport, offered to lead them to a gulch which penetrated the Confederate lines. This offer was accepted and the Rebels were routed by one of the finest Union regiments. They then withdrew to the small village of Santa Fe, the battle a Union victo- ry. UJESTPURT DEW On October 12, 1958, the fourth annual Westport Historical Society Parade started at Westport Road and Broadway. The parade pro- ceeded to Loose Park, where Mil- ton Perry, curator of the Harry S. Truman Library spoke. Mrs. Vir- gnia H. Thornton, 96, granddaugh- ter of John Calvin McCoy, founder of Westport, was presented a gold medallion as the oldest person pres- ent.

Hunk Exhibit Week November 2-14 has been designat- ed K'Book Week Exhibit. The West- port school library has received a new collection of books which range from the latest edition of the Encyclopedia Americana to the new- est fiction and nonfiction on such subjects as aviation, photography, vocations, sports, rockets and mis- siles. In addition to these, the library has shelves of the newer, popular reading written just for the teen- ager. Until ten years ago the field of literature in this area was poor as well as limited. Today, some of the best adult authors are writing especially for young people. Biopraphies and books which will serve as reference material for these special assignments in English, his- tory and science are also waiting for you. Two additional services-lthe periodical section with approximate- ly twenty weekly and monthly, magazines and the catalogues and bulletins from many colleges-will come in handy.

To the Junior Class: You have some neat cars running around. Dear Jack, we're sorry you broke your collarbone. Why don't the boys learn to eat their lunch. It's not meant for cars. Since when did we acquire' so many future farmers at Westport? We see so many cowboy hats around the hall. A new tranquillizer pill is an- nounced. It is for people who are worried about whether they would have been worried if they hadntt taken tranquillizer pills in the first place.

If they come! Almost anywhere you look in the halls, you will see the Westport girls wearing blazers of white, navy, or gray. Full 'winter skirts are on their way out at Westport, as most of the girls prefer straight or pleated skirts of many different colors. Sweaters have no certain trend this year, as the girls can be seen wearing crew- necks, chemises, pull-overs, or card- igans. Fur blends are the most popular, but a few of the lucky girls wear cashmeres. As for shoes, the ever-popular Spaldings and Capezio's can be seen on the dain- ty f?J feet of the Westport girls. As for the boys, Levi's and Khak- ies are the most popular. Sweaters or some real sharp shirts are worn to cover their broad CF, shoulders! And, of course, as always a few of Westport's football heroes don their letter sweaters on the days of the game. Some Westport boys may also be seen in the Sl-IEP outfits of sport coats and Levis! Promethean Rush was held Fri- day, October 31, 1958, The theme was Ye Olde Soda Shoppe.

The girls wore costumes to fit the period and rec- ords were played in the background to give it atmosphere. Pundit's Rush was held on Hal- loween this year and their Hallow- een theme fits the occasion. Just to make sure everyone knew their theme the girl's gym was decked with Jackolanternims, witches, and of all things, gravestones. To warm everyone up after these spine chill- ing items they served cider and doughnuts. They also featured real chain rattling entertainment. Browning is on the look-out for a new sponsor. They had their rush October 31, 1958, and it must have been a wild affair as Yours Truly could get no details on it. On October 3, Dana turned In- dian and had a Wig Wame Rush Party.

It has many points of interest! the majority of the people have been warm and friendly. There seems to be a great deal of resentment towards us with the younger set of boys ,htough. Paul Simmons, 19 years old, Arizona I have been in the F.F.A. six years. I enjoyed visiting Kansas City and especially its schools and comparing them to schools in Arizona. Kansas City is a wonderful city to visit but much too big and crowded for a country boy like me. Most of the people, on the whole, were really nice, but a lot of boys showed a good deal of distaste for us. These boys took some of my buddies' jackets and hats which aren't cheap by any means. This was the only hinderance on every- one having a sw-ell time. Well, there you are! Wfith the ex- ception of a few very immature in- dividuals, Kansas Citians have up- held the old southern tradition of hospitality. The American Royal is over this year, but come next year the gala affair will start all over again, and when it does, why doesn't each of us, individually, ex- tend our warmest greeting to K.C.'s out-of-town guests for the two weeks of the F.F.A. convention and the American Royal. BAND fContinued from Page D A sad sidelight to the American Royal Parade' is the fact the band's drum-major, Ellen Wilcher, was un- able to march due to an injured back. Ellen worked tirelessly go- ing over signals with the band for weeks prior to the parade. Al- though it was not apparent to the spectators, the band was actually working under a handicap during the parade because of El1en's ab- sence. Vllhe Westport Band has both dis- cipline and uniformity as can be seen in their marching style and at- tractive uniforms. Red Cross Meets Representatives of the fifty home rooms of Westport met October 22 in room 211 for the first council meeting of the Junior Red Cross this year. The sponsor, Miss Marie Brubaker, introduced Randall Jes- see, executive board memeber, who, in turn, introduced the other mem- bers who had recently been guests at a leadership training center. The sponsor outlined the three major projects of the year and ex- plained other continuing activities such as catastrophe committees, and entertainment sent to hospitals. The first activity concerning all home rooms is that of educational gift boxes for children of foreign lands. Westport is filling fifty such boxes. In the past, 'hundreds of letters of thanks and appreciation have come from the recipients from many :foreign countries. The next project will be the fill- ing of red gauze Christmas gift stockings for veterans in hospitals in or near Kansas City. Boys To Service ' lAfter graduation this June, many Westport boys are planning to go into some branch of the armed forc- es. For those aiming at the top, an appointment to the Military, Naval, or Air Force Academy is the ideal thing. 'Iihe procedure for appoint- ment consists of several steps: an initial contact with either Repre- sentative Richard Bolling or one of the two Federal Senators, Hon. Stu- art Symin-gton or Hon. Thomas Hen- nings. Applications will be sent, which in turn are completed and returned with character references. Placement will be made according to the test grades and the grade on an examination given by the Civil Service Commission. Next March, the nominees will take service acad- emy examinations and finally in July, a 'physical examination will be given. Those interested in the Coast Guard Academy should apply di- rectly to the Academy for informa- tion. Candidates will receive ap- pointments according to the final marks based on tests and existing vacancies. '-Students interested in any of these institutions should in- vestigate the opportunities available in the office of the counselor.

Judy Swanson, water girl, has the gratitude of the entire sports day team. SPIRIT PHIIMIITEII On Thursday, October 23, a special Pep Assembly was held to promote Tiger spirit. Sandy Little was the mistress of ceremonies, and started the assembly with the Pledge of Allegiance: Mr. Don Fitzhugh gave -a complete and hi- larious pep talk on School Spirit. Coach Coleman told the students about our TIGERIFIC football team and its victories, and he urged everyone to attend the remaining games and cheer for the team. The cheerleaders presented a skit and led the students in cheers. lVllr. Duane Miller closed the assembly with the Westport Loyalty Song. SV R TS suoms Mike Miller IThe Saturday morning following the Northeast game coaches Cole- man and Gambel and twelve mem- bers of the 'team journeyed down to Columbia to see Missouri Universi- ty play Southern Methodist Univer- sity. The fellows saw a great game with fS.M.U. winning 32 to 19. Aft- er the game some of the team met Marty Bell. Sunday morning, October 12 six- teen merrnbers of the football team, along with Coach Coleman, were present at the morning service of the -Trinity Methodist church. Many of the members 'believe it is not only important to go to school and play football together, but also to worship together. I thought it would be nice to pay a short tribute to our hard-working football managers, Don Comer Bill Elledge, and Vic -Bhalen. These fellows help the coach and the team in any way they can. It seems the present method of punishment in the seventh hour gym class is a tap from a paddle aptly named the Board of Edu- cation. Crimes that are punish- able by this paddle are being late to chalk-talk walking on the gym floor with street shoes and a number of other offenses.

TIGERS TFIHE TllI0 ' 42-14 The Westport offense had a field day in the thorough 42-14 trounc- ing of the Van Horn Falcons on the East Field, Friday the seventeenth. The Tigers secured the ball on a Van Horn fumble recovered by John Blessing. A few plays later Eugene Burns went over from 27 yards out for the first touchdown. On the following kickoff the Fal- cons fumbled again and this ' e Tom Ainsworth covered the bal for the red-hot Tigers. Dan Hudgins promptly threw a pass to Floyd Nails who scored the second touch- down. Van Horn tallied in the first quarter on a fifteen-yard pass from Dick Peve to Brian Ferkins, but the Tigers came back on an 85-yard run by fleet Mike Staggs to make the score 19-7 at the end of the first quarter. In the second period Dan Hudgins scored on a one-yard plunge, and the Tiger defense proved its prow- ess by tackling Van Horn's P-hil Clemens in the end zone and add- ed two points to the score. The third period found Phil Myles go- ing over from six inches out, and in the fourth -he passed to Gary Gil- lihan for the sixth touchdown.

On Wednesday, November 12, these words echoed throughout the halls of Westport. Students who wore white carnations stood proud- ly on the stage and in the audience repeating this age-old pledge. Everyone's attention was keenly held as Mr. Wadsworth, the speak- er, asked some very important questions. What is school for? Why have education? He said, Education is not only the fundamentals of gaining know- ledge, but to sharpen your mind tContinued on Page 73 Tribute to Team WESTPORT PLACES THIRD By: Helen Taylor For the first time in a 7 years Westport High School has placed among the top four teams in the league. Westport's great team was aided by their star guard Larry Holland. Larry has opened the way for the outstanding Tiger backs, Mike Staggs, Phil Myles, and Gene Burns. Also doing a fine job on the line were George Marsh, Bruce Lingen- felter, Jan Underwood and Jay Bucher. To offset the running game the Tigers had an exceptionally good passer in Dan Hudgins and capable receivers in Floyd Nails and J. R. Hursman. Doing an outstanding job on de- fense were Jim Gray, Ray Pickens, Ronnie Baumgardner, Gary Gillihan, John Blessing, Ford Fredrickson, and John Burkle. Replacing Dan Hudgins in the last two games was Bill Bradford who did a remarkable job on a crucial spot during the East and De La Salle games. Spending many an hour and doing a great deal of work in making such a fine team possible was Coach Bill Coleman. Coach Coleman has only been coaching at Westport for the past two years, but he has already proven his ability to produce a winning team, as can be seen by Westports' placing third in the league. Without the co-operation of the managers, coaching staff and the en- tire team, Westport would not have been able to have such an excellent football team. Congratulations to the team for one of the best seasons of football Westporters has seen in several years. Tiger Time Dec. 4 K. C.

To the coaches, Westport is grateful for the worry, time, and effort that has been spent in building and training our team so that it could bring glory and honor to us. To the members of the squad, Westport is grateful for the sweat, aches and pains, work, and the many hours spent on the athletic field in preparation for each game. We are thankful for the undying spirit which the team displayed during every game. Again congratulations for a season Well played. QUOTATION - Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason why so few engage in it. . . . Henry Ford. The staff of the Crier would like to express their apologies for the poor condition of the third issue of the Crier. The staff worked especially hard on this particular issue for it was the terscholastic Press Associationl, to be school newspapers in the state. Some on the school holidays to achieve the issue sent to lVEI.P.A. CMdssouri In- judged along with -many other high 'of the members of the staff worked highest possible quality, style, and perfection. The Crier was proofed three times before it went to the printer, after we received the galley, an dafter we received the page proofs. The flying quotation marks, the wandering sentence structure, and the novel spelling were not our ideas but completely out of our control. Because of the interest shown by so many in the paper, we have attempted to tell the story of the Crier from birth to death in another section of this issue. XV-e gladly welcome your constructive criticism and we constantly strive to make each issue an improvement on the previous one. THE STAFF. DO YOU KNOW WHEN ?

I looked forward to this experi- ence as I do anything new and ex- citing. Did I say new and excit- ing? As I analyzed the march of the teenagers from the local cafe to a ping-pong game across the street, I discovered their chief pastime- looking for something to do. If one of these small town teenagers was lucky enough to have a car, he could drive up and down Main street. However, upon doing this he rlsked dizziness and nausea, for Main street is only two blocks long and closed on one end at that. Aft- er about 30 such ,trips KI counted, one car's passengers were notice- a-bly green. I There is no vandalism to speak of, but an occasional prank shows amazing ingenuity. In this little town there is a cafe and Gertie runs this cafe. Now I might say here that Gertie is slightly plump. In fact, she weighs around 300 pounds. One evening the local boys engineered an ingeni- ous job. They obtained a huge tractor tire and hoisted it above the cafe. Emblazened on the tire in bright red paint was Gertie's Hula- Hoop. As I sit here pitying the small town teenager, one thought keeps entering my mind. There are no juvenile delinquents in this little tofwn.

Laurie Ann McNally, president of the morning class, was assisted by the following committee members: Donna Crain, Terry Summerhouseg Ronnie Sable, Bonnie Starbuck and Tom Boldman. Bob Ruf, president of the after- noon class, had the help of the fol- lowing committee: Frances Srnithg Robert Stratton, Terry Collins, Sus- an Rupard and Vicki Sanders. Carolyn Martin reports that Mr. John Klepinger's morning Common Learnings class had the first grass- hopper race in the history of West- port. If a grasshopper race wasn't news, the fact that students in both the morning and afternoon classes in Room 317 are having caviar certain- ly is. A textbook, Our Woking World, brought up the subject of caviar and the result was a feast of caviar and crackers provided by Dan Gagliardi, Dean Garland, Bill Anglian and Margaret Garcia.

How the Crier Gomes to You It is Thursday-home room time. Here you ar-e, searching madly for your name in the Crier. It's not there, when you were sure it would be? Or maybe it is there, and you are, well, glad anyway. Did you every stop to think about how the Crier got to you? 'tVery Simple, you say. They publish it in news- writing classes. Yes, very simple Her is it? At least sixteen days before publi- cation, in newswriting class the editor, Dave Izzard, asks for sug- gestions and gives assignments for articles and stories. The reporters decide on how many pictures they Will need, and picture-taking assign- ments are given to Pat Hill, the photographer. This may sound easy, but the Crier is limited to three pic- tures or illustrations each issue, and the final decision on w'hat pictures make the issue is usually very hard to make and requires the diploma- tic abilities of editor, photographer and interested party. Mike M.iller, the sports editor, has his work more or less cut out for him, but in ord- er to present all sides of the athletic program the Sport Shorts has been added. Lavonne Dunn handles the news in sports for the gills with her Delphian'i column as well as much of the business side of the paper. The special features require the time of a different group of the staff. Myra Wood, as Tiger Two- some editor, has a job on her hands trying to put her column together. Terry Hughes 1'UDS around collecting Dear Wesger letters to answer, Joanne Caldwell and Peggy Berk- stresser edit Under the Clock. Coralee Morris has a busy job keeping track of the literary socie- ties and club news and also is the capable member of the staff who selects a scripture verse or quota- tion for each issue. Monetia Stevens works on.feature stories as well as the art work which is in each issue. Alice Eisenhour handles the sub- freshman news and often does one or two extra stories, while Bonnie Cady is a very efficient front page editor. Helen Taylor, Lavonne Dunn, Paula Luther and Rita Alley write feature and news articles. After all the articles and stories are written up-sometimes as many as eight times to satisfy a certain individual-they are edited, cor- rected, and proofread. They are re- typed and proofread a second time. Ten days before you read the Crier it goes to the printer. The galley ta long strip of paper with the articles printed on ith is proofread and dummy fthe pasted layout of paperl is prepared. Back to printer for two days and then page proofs are received. The last step in this long process process is the distribution of the Criers to the home-room teachers' boxes and the mailing of Criers to all parts of the country. Correspond- ence, obtaining advertisements, and checking on possible leads are tak- en care of in between the above cycle. By the time the Crier is in your hands ,the staff has long been busy working on the next issue. Still simple?

November 13. 1959 TRIIDITIUII Did you ever wonder how you could be eligible for a literary so- ciety, a departmental club, or a service club at Westport? Well, wonder no more! Here is the gal who knows all, sees all, and m-ore- over tells all. In case you didn't know, the literary societies are Brownin-g and Wilson for boys and Dana, Pundit, and Promethean for girls. To be eligible you have to maintain an M+ grade average, be a freshman, and have your name placed before the society. The members then select the people who may come to an open meeting or, in the case of the girls' societies, a rush party. The new members are selected by secret ballot and each of the girls' societies hold an accept- ance tea in their honor. The departmental clubs are Speech Arts, Science Unlimited, Circulo Calderon :Spanish Club, and Del- phians, vthe athletic club for West- port girls. These clubs have indi- vidual rules as to membership qual- ifications but as is true with the societies, a M.l.. grade average is the first prerequisite. Speech Arts holds ,an open meet- ing once each semester and then tryouts are held for students in- terested in all areas of speech from dramatics to back-stage activities. Circulo Calderon is open to all mem- bers of the Spanish class and the Delphians require that a girl have her freshman shield before she is given an invitation to a rush party an-d voted on by the club members. The service clubs are: Business Service Club, open to students of the commercial classes, Future Teachers, the Health Service Club, the Hi-Y, the Junior Red Cross, the Monitor Service Club, the Office Assistants, the Pep Club, the Stu- dent Council, Tiger Den, and Y- Teens, all of which are open to the entire student body. SPEECH ARTS Speech Arts held their acceptance tea Tuesday, November 4, 1958. The new members are Martha Rosen- garn, Gerry Granger, Donna Pren- tice, Bob Sullivan and Cindy Schutz.

The fathers wore a card with their son's number on it and each mother was presented with a mum from her son. It seems the ankles of some of the football players are taking a beat- ing. Al Dobyns had several liga- ments torn in his ankle, and both Bob Evans and Dan Hudgins suffer- ed broken ankles. Tribute to Bill Bradford is long past due. Bill came into the East game and did a terrific job of quart- erbacking under heavy pressure. The basketball team has started its work outs. From their demon- strations at Open House and their spirit, it is indicated Westport has some fine prospects out for the team. In case you hadn't noticed, -the Westport cross-country team has been quite active during the foot- ball season. These hard working fellows compete with the opposing school at half-time during each foot- ball game. The city meet, in which all schools in the Kansas City area competed, showed a fine Tiger team in fifth place. The team next went to the District I-evel contest, held in Se- dalia, where Westport placed sec- ond. On October 31, the Bengal squad took part in the state mleet at For- est Park, St. Louis. George Cabrera was presented a medal in a field of 100 runners. The squad placed twelfth in the field. The members of the team in addition to George are Bob Jennings, Gary Bily-eu, Pat McGinnis, Don Welsh and Jim Pear- ce. PAGE SEVEN Westport's Little Tigers, the B team, ended the year with a 6-1 record. The team defeated Lincoln by a score of 12-0. This year the team elected John Rolfe and Oral Eidson as co-captains. Some of the outstanding players were: John Rolfe and Dan Nash, halfbacksg Mer- vin Fisher, tackle, Robbie Leigh, center, and Ronnie Epps, end. TIGERS TRFIP BEIIRS The Westport Tigers ended their regular season by defeating East on the East field, November 7, in one of the year's most exciting games. The Bengals scored first in the opening quarter with Bill Bradford throwing a pass to J. R. Hursman. East scored in the second period on a 10 yard pass from Dean Tomlin to John Finfrock. Just after the second half began, Bruce Lingenfelter, tackle, blocked a Tomlin punt a. d the ball went out of bounds on the 16 yard line. A few plays later Mike Staggs went over from the one yard line. 'The Bears scored a second touch- down in the third quarter to close the Tiger lead to one pointg then with only 17 seconds left in the game Gene Burns scored on a 52 yard run. Bruce Lingenfelter, Mike Staggs, George Marsh, and Ford Fredrick- son played an admirable defensive game. DELPHIANS Saturday, October 25, Delphians held a combination get-together and car washing party. The get-together party was held at the home of Sandy Zumwalt and the car washing party at the home of Georgia Hart. The new members, who were formally accepted at the party, al- so participated in washing cars. A total of 15 newly cleaned cars re- sultcd in 324.30 for the club trea- sury. The sponsor for Delphians this year is Mrs. Mildred Patterson. TIGERS MAHIIH UVEII EZIIJETS The Westport Tigers ended one of their finest football scasonis in many a year by soundly whipping the Cadets of DeLaSalle 21 to 0. The Tigers opend the scoring in the second quarter on a 44 yard drive that took only two plays. The touchdown was scored on 3 39 yard run by Gene Burns through a hole opened by Jan Underwood and Bruce Lingenfelter. At the end of the second period the Tigers tallied again, this time on a 10 yard pass from Bill Bradford to Phil Myles. The final touchdown was scored early in the fourth quarter, Bill Bradford carried on a quarterback back sneak from the two yard line. Phil Myles kicked two extra points and threw a pass to Floyd Nails for the third. This was the final gamie of one of Westport's most successful sea- soons in a long time. - Answers: 1.e 2.f 3.c 4.a 5.band6.d.

Bob Evans as Master of Ceremonies introduced the speakers and Westport students from foreign nations. Bervin Fisher speaking on education in Russia was moved by the im- mense problem the United States faces--the fact that the Russians are so far ahead of us in certain fields of education. Melvin Blonsky gave an example of a typical day in the life of a British school boy. Ronald Brink talked about German education and throughout his talk emphasized that students in Germany want to learn. Maryann Campbell differentiated again the differences in the Russian and Anierican systems of education and the philosophy behind each. Ronnie Botwell used education in Brazil to con- trast the fact that only the privileged in Latin America are often truly given free schooling. The French system was explained by Jo Ann Swan- son. Kerstin Lilya, our Foreign Exchange student, represented Sweden, Peter Szasz, Hungary. From Germany were Monika Ritter and Wolfgang Rod- erick. Gary Aaron and Joe Kalzotta represented Isreal and Puerto Rico, re- spectively. A question and answer period was held at the conclusion of the program. a o 7 PLHCLPHI5 eJ5Cl,ge V I wish for you a happy Christmas Season. For many people, Christmas has come to be a time for buying gifts, for feasting, parties, a round of gay festivities. But in the midst of these, I hope you will take time to listen to beautiful Christmas music, to think of the real meaning of the Season, per- haps to read or listen again to the old, old history of the birth of Christ. Let each one of us do this part to make the Spirit of Christmas a little more real in our life. And in so doing we will help to bring Peace on Earth, Good Wlill to Men. l6fLa,.l .A Ea ff Myles Heads Seniors Phil Myles ELEIITIUN RETURNS ANNHUNEEH The m-ost important election in the career of any Westport Senior resulted in the gav-el coming into the possession of Phil Myles. Phil has become well known to the entire student body and his accomplish- ments include the Bronze pin, mem- ber of Student Council, officers in both the band and orchestra, co- captain of the football team, and membership on the Tiger Den Com- mittee and in the Wilson Literary Society.

Pat Hill adds the duties of class secretary to his presidency of Browning Literary Society and staff member of the Crier. Marilyn Boone lists Varsity ceer- leader for two years, secretary of her junior class, and membership in Pundit Literary Society as past and present activities.

A wonderful time of the year. A time of swirling bright lights, gay colors, crowds of people, and holiday vacations. Christmas means shop- ping sprees, parties, presents, and decorating' trees. . What does Christmas mean to each of us individually? Likely as not, it probably means the hours you'll spend 'sending Christmas cards, the worry you'll have when your money does not stretch far enough to buy those re- .maining gifts, and the many happy thoughts of all the gifts under the tree with your name on them. Is it possible, however, that we have forgotten the real reason for Christmas? In our modern and civilized world, do we ever stop to think about the real reason we have Christmas? Do we stop to realize that if it were not for a small baby. wrapped in swaddling clothes, was the last time we set aside one special day to attend church and thank the Lord for all the blessings we receive and for giving us this very special day? W'hy not make this Christmas season different! Give yourself the satis- faction of knowing you thought more of giving than receiving. When you sing the traditional Christmas carols, stop and think oftheir real meaning. And when you start to open all those gifts Christmas morning, stop for a minute and remember who made it possible.

Each spring the choirs and glee clubs, as well as the instrumental organizations of the Kansas City high schools have an opportunity to have recordings made. The record- ings are then screened in Kansas City, St. Louis, and Washington, D. C. to select the performances to be included in the albums. West- port has participated for five years and has had recordings sent to al- most all the free nationspartici- pating in the Junior Red Cross pro- ject. Plans are now being made for the Choir and Girls' Glee Club to make recordings for next years screening. Countries that have received the recordings from Westport are Aus- tria, Luxenbourg, Denmark, Yugo- slavia, and Venezuela. GIFTS AND THE RED CROSS In recent weeks most of the home rooms at Westport have filled red tarleton Christmas gift stockings for the veterans in hospitals in this vicinity. This is one of the activities of the Junior Red Cross. X Approximately 1,400 of these stockings are filled each year by the Junior Red Cross groups in the Kan- sas City schools. According to fre- quentreports these gifts are appre- ciated more than any other gifts the veterans, receive. The week before Christmas vaca- tion a certain number of the coun- cil members will accompany the Gray Ladies to help distribute the gifts in the hospitals at Excelsior Springs, Kansas City, and Wads- worth.

Premiere Kansas City is very fortunate in being one of the few cities besides Hollywood to have its own movie premiere. The night of December 10, Cineramas South Seas Adventure was presented at a gala affair with the proceeds going to charity. Featured in South Seas Adven- ture, is a beautiful Tahitian native, Ramine Allen. Ramine's first trip to the United States has also brought her additional 'ffirstsf' Among these are: her first winter coat CTahiti's weather is very m.ildJ, and her first key to a city which happens to be Kansas City. In the movie, Ramine is cast as a native dancer. This role came na- turally to Ramine as she has been dancing since she was four. Now 18, she has many of the same ideas as American teenagers. She like jazz, rock-and-roll, and expressed a desire to try the jitterbug. Ramine is a delightful good-will ambassador fromi her native land and a treat to the eyes in the film. 1 .

O TFILEIIT CHllED FUR The talent show of all talent shows wil1,be presented February 6th and '7th in the auditorium. The theme, a very timely one, is Mardi Gras. Societies, school clubs as well as-individual classes have made elaborate plans to provide skitswhich will indicate thequality and originality of -the student body. In addition to group acts, approxi- mately twenty individual numbers will convey the spirit of carnival time through classical and popular music, dances, dramatics an expres- sion. The profit from this production will be used to install aniintercorn- munication system for the enjoy- ment ofthe entire school. Westport certainly has as much talent as any other .school in town. In past years the students interested in seeing Westport in first place in all competition have failed to en- joy the over-all support of the school. If Southwest can produce their Redskins , Southeast, .their Nite-Lites -Westport' can develop a tradition in talent shows to be- come the envy of the town. A faculty committee has been working on the many phases of the show since early November ,students individually or in their clubs and societies have 'developed talent which made the final selection by the try-out committee a very diffi- cult task. , When the curtain comes down on the final act-the real test of the success of the show will not be the financial returns but the true West- port spirit which every student must take a part in to make the talent show the talent show of all time. .

On 'December 4, Westport was hon- ored by a visit from the K.C.U. Choir. Under the direction of Dr. Everett Hendricks the group sang a beautiful variety of Christmas carols. Lyle Wiley and Shirley Bean were intorduced to the audiance as former Westporters, now members of the choir. The group chose se- lections from My Fair Lady as a closing presentation and received a warm applause of approval. LOST CHOIR After the assembly, Dr. Hendricks lost his choir. A frantic search by telephone, resulted in the discovery that due to a mix-up the bus return- ed to the campus instead of going to the Golden Ox where the Wanderers were to have lunch. CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY A highlight of the year for the vocal department is always the Christmas season. They had a special program at 7:30 Tuesday evening, Dec. 16 ,for parents and alumni, and a Christmas Assembly at 8:30, Wed- nesday morning, Dec. 17, for stu- dents. The program featured the Senior girls Glee Club, singing Snow- flakes and March of the Toys , A Cappella Choir singing Born To- day and Branch Forth O Beaute- ous Light , the orchestra, Freshman Glee Clubg Sopohomorexgirls sex- tetteg senior girls sextetteg Boys quartet and an instrumental ensem- ble were responsible in bringing the Christmas spirit to the halls of Westport. A special attraction of the pro- gram was Kerstin Lilja, telling a- bout Swedish Christmas customs. The program was closed with the entire group and the audience sing- ing Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. STUDENTS STUDY The Kansas City Public School System has this year instituted a new accelerated program for scho- lastically outstanding students in some of the high schools. At West- port there is an accelerated senior English class which is in session seventh hour in room 212 under the instruction of Miss Stella Maddox. The twenty students were chosen for their outstanding achievement in English during the past three years. STUDY WORK OF VARIOUS AUTHORS So far this year the class has studied Ernest Hemingway and his Old Man and the Sea, Thomas Har- dy's Return of the Native, various essays and short stories, a book of their own choosing, and King Henry IV. Part One. They also expect to study Shakespeare's King Lear.

Coach Coleman told the student body .that this year's team was a fine one and had it not been for mistakes Westport would have had a 9-l record rather than a 6-4 record.

Royalty Reigns Since 1955, when the first football Queen was chosen -by the varsity football-team, Westport's Football team has upheld the tradition of choosing a Queen and two attend- ants at the end . of the football season. -The Football Tiger Den, Nov 22, was held in honor of the football players, the Queen and attendants. Tiger Den was devided in two parts. The first part with Coach.Coleman giving a short speech telling of the fine job the boyshad done in the league this year. He then present- ed each of the players and manag- ers with a miniature football -with their names inscribed in gold and blue. . Rodney Thompson, master of cere- monies, then took over the second part, the presentation of the Queen and attendants. This years JQueen is ,Pat Ramsey, attendants, Sandra. Williams and Joann-e Caldwell. Sandra Williams was 'escorted by John Blessing and BruceiLigenfelter Joanne Caldwell was escorted by Jim Goodrich and Jay Bucher.

Some of my little friends say that there is no Santa Claus. Please tell me lthe truth Is there a Santa Claus? B. B. Dear B. B., Your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the teaching of certain subversive teach- ers in this school. They think that nothing they- can't see can be. All minds, B. B., whether they are eighth graders or freshmen, are little, infintesimal in fact. In this great school of ours, eighth'graders are mere insects in their intellect, as compared with the almighty, all power, omniscient SENIORS! Yes B. B., there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as the long English and Algebra assignments over the holidays. Alas, how dreary the world would be if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary CPD as if there were no B. B.'s. There ,would be no child-like faith then, no presents under the Christmas tree, no jolly men in red union suits to ring bells on street corners. Not to believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in teachers! You might watch the fire- place all night and not see him but does that prove that he-- wasn't there? You migh not see the Senior Prom, but does that prove it wasn't there? No, of course not, silly goose. No Santa Claus? Thank heaven he lives Cjust li-ke' Methusalahj for- ever. A million years from now, B. B., he'll stil be-wearing the same old red suit. You can count on it. lPlagarizedJ Wesger Dear Wesger: Since you have nothing to do but copy material from old books, please give me the answers to the following questions. I am busy run- ning after the literary and club presidents-for Christmas news. -Fondly, Coralee, society editor Questions: 1. Would it be proper to send a Christmas card to my boyfriend's parents? I have only met them twice and don't really know them well. 2. How can you say 'no'! nicely when a boy you don't want to-kiss catches you under the mistletoe. 3. I'm giving a New Year's party and am sending out separate invi- tations to all the boys and girls on my list. A friend of mine dates a boy I don't know. Should I ask her to invite him or should I do it? Dear Coralee: I am always happy to help outa fellow staff member. The answers are: 1. Not only proper but very thoughtful. Whenever in doubt a- bout the niceties of doing some- thing nice, follow the rule: When in doubt-do. 2. Don't let him catch you. An ounce of prevention, as they say . . . However, if it's unavoidable, give him your cheek. If he can't seem to take yourhint, well . . . turn the other cheek. 3. Since you are including him only because of your friend, it would be better to extend the invitation through her. I hope these answers will help your friends and Merry Christmas.

SPORT ,nxnnw ' 5-KoR1'5 MIKE Mllltk What is the best way to a foot- bal players heart? FOOD! Many hearts were touched Friday night, Nov. 23, at the banquet of the West- port football team. The menu consisted of fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, salad, hot rolls, cake and ice cream. After the meal Mr. Bill Coleman, the master of ceremonies, introduc- ed Don McClan-en, Director of the Foundation for Christian Athletes. Mr. McClanen showed a film and gave a very impressive talk on Christianity in athletics. Mr. Coleman then introduced Dr. and Mrs. Richard Ball, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Ross, Mr. and Mrs. Fiske Miles, and Mr. Claude Baker. Several members of the team then made comments about this year's success, after which the banquet ended. One of the highlights of the foot- ball banquet was the announcement of next years captains. Normally either a captain or co-captains, are elected, but tri-captians were chos- en for next year. The three are Dan Hudgins, Ford Fredrickson, and George Marsh. Congratulations fel- las! Redemptorist After getting off to a slow start the Westport Tigers came back strong and downed the Redemptorist Rockets by a score of 47'-43 on the Redemptorist court. 'The Rockets, led by Ruben Martinez, were ahead at the end of the half, 30-27. Mar- tinez scored 13 points i nthe first two periods.

The Tiger cagers again got .off to a slow start scoring only eleven points as compared to Northeast's twenty-two. Ronnie Bumgarner ac- counted for six of these points. Coming back strong after the half the Bengals netted thirteen ,points with Northeast scoring only sixg nevertheless the Viking lead was too much to overcome, and the Vikes took the game. High point man for the Tigers was again Charley Myers, with a total of fourteen. Jay Bucherwas the top rebounder, grabbing eight off the boards. Westport 11 16 13 10 -40 Northeast 22 13 6 12 -53 As a result of accurate shooting, sharp fast passes, and just plain good team play, the Tigers defeated the Knights to take third place in the Tournament. Getting off to a fast start instead of their usual slow start, the Tigers capured a 17-7 lead, Charley Myers accounting for ten of these. This lead was cut down to four points at the half and two at the end of the third quarter, but the Tigers held off and won 54-52.

Usually the students do not have an op- portunity to 'become acquainted with every member of the 'office staff, s-o this article is being written to acquaint ithe students with the admin- istration.. Dr. Richard A. Ball, principal of Westport, was at Junior College before coming to Westport. He has taught in a one-room rural school, a consolidated school in Marion, Missouri, and at Northeast High School. Dr. Ball was also in the Navy during World War II for three and one- half years. He received his education in a one-room rural school, high school in Vandalia, Missouri, and he attended the Universities of Missouri, Colorado, Chicago, Minnesota, and California. Dr. Ball has three children, all boys. Richard is a graduate of the University of Illinois and is now an engineer with the Standard Oil Company in Aruba, Netherlands, West Indies. Robert is a graduate of the University of Missouri, and is now an engineer with Phillips Petroleum Company in Kansas City. David, a graduate of the University of Kansas, is now a student at the K.U. Medical School. Dr. Ball says that Westport students rate 'ttops in comparison with other student bodies. He also believes their behavior, friendliness, and attitude are superior. Mr. W. S. Esther, Vice-principal of Westport, says he woul-d rather be the vice-principal of Westport than any other school in Kansas City. The friendly faculty and cooperative student body make Westport my first choice. Mr. Esther has been at Westport for seven years, and his main job is the disciplining of students. He received his B. A. Degree at Southwest Missouri State College, and his M. A. Degree from the Univers- ity of Missouri. Mr. Esther was vice-principal at West Junior, taught 26 years at East, and was vice-principal at Auderson, Missouri. John, Mr. Esth- er's only son, is a graduate of K. U., a former first lieutenant in the Marines' and is now a junior in Medical School at M.U, Counselor for freshmen and juniors, Miss Ola Galatas, has now been at Westport for nine years. She received her education at Mansfield, Louisiana, and at Columbia University in New York. Before coming to Westport, she was principal of an elementary school in Louisiana and Superintendent of Schools in Blue Springs, Missouri. Miss Galatas says, Like other s.-hools, we have mediocre, average, and excellent students. We have mam' who are tops and who have in the past and will in the future, bring honor to Westport.

Westport was represented by Da- vid Barkhouse who spoke at Lin- coln. His alternate was Bervin Fisher. The winner at Lincoln was Kathlene Key of Van Horn. The schools competing at Westport were Glennon, Center, Northeast, and Lincoln. Defeating her oppon- ents was Randy Kay Barnes of Northeast. Her theme was that the constitution serves as a key to our basic freedoms. The judges were Miss Cecile Bur- ton, Mr. Don Fitzhugh, and Mr. Jerome P. Dobel, Jr., who repre- sented the American Legion. They were judging on personality, 25'Z,g ability to inspire, 25985 and his- torical accuracy, 50'Z.

The beginning of a new year can 'be very sad. Looking back over 'tlhe past year, thinking of all the blue days, the bright ones, the hard decisions, and the easy ones, it seems to be closing one world of knowledge and beginning another of uncertainty. Yet, everyone should be happy to face 'the new year. Remembering the accompllshments they have made should spur them on and make them work even harder during the next year to accomplish even more and to make their lives and those of others happier and better ones. Although the new year has already begun why not add three im- portant items to your list of resolutions: to -be ia little more patient, in a little less of a hurry, and to take the time to enjoy life while it is still yours.

TESTS Another year and some more tests! For the vbusy, -busy seniors, the Ohio Psychological Alptitude test was administered. For the anx- ious juniors, the School and College Ability Test was given. The results of -the Ohio Test are in and the majority of them are outstanding. The 98 and 99 per- centiles are as follows: Bonnie Cady, Jon Howell, Paula Luther, Larry Seale, Carol Shipley, Hannah Tague, and Rodney Trhompson. Of all the seniors who took the test Carol Shibley ranked highest. This test is a measure of indi- Jinuary 15, 1959 ' vidual verbal ability. It consists of a vocabulary section, wor-d analogy, and a reading section. The test is used to predict ones success in col- lege. Of all the Juniors taking the S.C. A.T. 51 made 90 percent or above. Although the score made on the test is important when entering college, it is also well to rememiber that col- lege success is more dependent on high school success. Many pupils with fairly low scores on aptitude tests excel pupils with higher scores when -they enter college. This is due to good work and study habits, and perseverance. No amount of afbility takes the 'place of faithful- ness in performance of daily tasks.

Senior Girls Dear Senior Girls, I think that it is perfectly alright but a lot of seniors might not agree, but if you like the boy and have a lot of fun with him, his grade shouldn't make any difference at all. One thing you will notice is that nobody complains when a senior boy dates a sophomore girl Cwith the ex- ception, of course, of the senior girlsj Wesger Dear Wesge1', What do you do when a boy's parents will not let him have the car once in awhile? You can't walk everyplacel Tired Feet Dear Tired Feet, I know that it gets tire-some walk- ing. I had this same experience, but whenever possible I always tried to find a friend to double with who had a car. But you know, it is not so bad walking . . . Wesger Dear Wlesger, Here at W'estport there seems to be a big problem. If a girl has a date or two with one boy, everyone takes it for granted that they're going steady. I-Iaven't people heard of Just Good Friends. Seriously what can I do? P. C. Dear P. C., I don't think a girl is going steady unless I see that she has a ring. You might be able to solve this problem by not having more than two dates with the same boy. Another thing, tell people that you are just good friends, if that will do any good.

I iam very happy in my Work and appreciate the opportunity of being here. The registrar of Westport, Miss Emilie Lynds, has been at Westport since April, 1944. She attended Loretta Academy and the Kansas City Teachers College. When asked how Westport -compares with other schools in this area, lVliiss Lynds replied, The other schools can't compare with Westport.

Many people think sportsmanshi-p applies only to those participating in the game. The athletes themselves are taught to play hard, but clean and fair, and the majority do so. Sometimes not playing clean and fair results in losing the game. Sportsmanship applies directly to the spectator also. The small gyms our game are played in provide a fine opportunity for the 1oud-mouth- ed show off to really do his stuff. When a call is made against his team this leather lunger lets fly with his cracks and insults. He might get a few laughs from his friends, but he will only infuriate the officials and actually do his team harm. An opponent shooting a free throw is another time for the show off and his cohorts to go into action. The courteous spectator is quiet, but the show off sees a chance to get a little attention and he com- mences to scream. Many will fol- low his lead and then the opposing school will yell when one of our players is at the free throw line. Showing off like this will not only not help your team win, but it will also give your school a bad name. Over 31 Years of Dependable Service RADIO DISPATCHED Toedman Cabs, Inc.

Hound Westport defeated Southwest 53- 43 in the opening round of the Inter- scholastic League cember 17, in the Tournament, De- Southeast gym. The Tigers held a three point lead at the end of the first quarter, but back to tie it at 23 all at the half. Coming back from the half the Tigers took a lead that was never surpassed. the Indians came Second Round Jay Bucher, Westport's Mr. Inside saved the day for the Tigers by sink- ing the final basket with only one second remaining in the second round game. This last second basket made the score 47-45 over the South- east Knights and put the Bengals into the Championship round of the Interscholastic League Tournament. The Knights were leading 11-9 at the end of the first period and it appeared they would hold a 19-18 lead at the lialfg but Dan Hudgins came through with an extra long shot to give the Tigers a 20-19 lead. The Bengals held this lead through and most of the than ten seconds the S. E. center the third quarter fourth. With less left in the game sank a basket and it looked as if the Tigers were defeated, but the ball was brought into play, Frank Gonzales threw a quick pass to Jay and he dropped it in to win the game. Westport 9 11 13 14 Southeast ll 8 11 15 St. Joe Falls To Tigers Led by Jay Bucher and Frank Gonzales, the Westport Tigers de- feated the St. Joe Central Indians 53-40 on the Southeast Court Friday night, December 12. Frank's long shots were an ever present threat which made it easier for Jay to get in and sink the shorter shots. Sixteen of Jay's nineteen points were attributed to field goals and the other three from the charity line. Frank accounted for all 14 points from the field. Ronnie Btucngarner, Charley My- ers, Dan Hudgins and Gary Gilli- han all played an excellent game. Westport 13 9 12 19 St. Joe 7 6 11 16 Third Round Two well aimed free throws and one badly aimed one were the main factors in Westport defeating North- east and winning the Interscholastic League Tournament. The two ac- curate free throws were shot by Frank Gonzales, whose two points won the game. The inaccurate free throw was by Northeast's Kean, who was given the opportunity to win the game for Northeast. At the end of the first quarter the Tigers were leading 21-24 with Dan Hudgins getting seven points. The Vikings came back strong in the second period, scoring eleven points to Westport's four. This tied the game at 25-25. The second half was a seesaw bat- tle, with the lead changing hands sev- eral times. With less than ten seconds remaining Northeast lead 50-49. Then Bill Graves fouled Frank Gon- zales. Regardless of tremendous pressure, Frank hit both free throws to put the Tigers ahead 51-50. The Vikings had one last opportunity when No. 34, Kean, was fouled. The pressure was two much for him and he missedd his shot-to make the final score 5l-50 in favor of the Ben- gals and bring the championship to Westpo1't. Ward Downs Tigers Playing a great brand of basket- ball the Ward Cyclones defeated the Tigers of Westport 75-30. The nucleus of the Cyclones was their 6' 3 center, Dick Manissey, who ac- counted for 28 of Ward's points. Another great factor possessed by Ward is a perilous defense, which held our usual high scorers down. Jay Bucher totaled up ll points and Charley Myers 8.

The theme this year, of course, is Mardi Gras. A King and Queen, who will reign over the show, will be chosen by a faculty committee, known as the secret seven. As at the New Orleans af- fair, ian effort will be made to select :two seniors who have con- tributed to their school. Each of the five literary societies will produce an act. Dana's act will be a modern dance with the theme Country Girls come to the Mardi Gras, and the loyalty song from the picture by the same name. Prlomethean will also wpresent a modern dance with the choreogra- phy fby Sandy Shrout and Peggy Berkstresser singing The Birth of the Blues. To make it unanimous Pundit will have a modern dance set to jazz, with Phil Myles playing the bongos. Browning will present a Dixieland 'band with all the trim- mings and Wilson will do a skit about a mass production barber- shop featuring Kerstin Lilya, our exc-hange student. Speech Arts will stage a ball scene and the sophomore and senior classes 'will each have a presenta- tion. The 8th Grade will contribute a parade of twelve floats. In addition there will be numer- ous individual acts. The talent show promises to be one of the best ever, so remember these dates-Thursday, February 12, and Saturday, February 14. 0F SENATE There are many Westporter's who bring honor t-o Westport and Carol Shibley is one of the most well known. Her latest achievement is -being elected Secretary of the Senate. Every year in April all the Hi-Y, boy's clubs, and the Tri-Hi-Y, girl's clubs, in Missouri hold a model legislature in Jefferson City. These two organiations are spon- sored by the Y.M.C.A. Carol was elected to the position Saturday, January 10, during a pre- legislative conference, which in- cluded the western half of Missouri. It was 'a special honor for Carol because she is the first girl ever elected to the position from the Western District of iMissouri. STUDENT COUIlCIl'S HHIIDS TIED According to Sandy Shrout, the Student Council of Westport has been trying to do a variety of things, but for one reason or another, has been stopped. For example, they were working hard to promote a Community Cent- er, but they couldn't pull the right strings and had to give up. Another job they tried was the beautification of Westport. But, the only real answer was to build a new school and since the present one is being painted, they had to give up on that also. After discussing many activities like the ones above, they decided to sponsor another foreign exchange student. They have already begun work. As it was in the drive last year stocks will be sold. They have been printed and will go on sale soon after second semester begins. The Student Council will appre- ciate any suggestions and ideas the students may have. If you have any, please tell them to your representa- tive or any member of the execu- tive board. Well seniors, here it is! The re- sults are in on the Senior Ballot. Ann Rueckert and Phil Myles be- cause of their -friendliness and pop- ularity with everyone were natur- ally voted Most Popular. Sandy Shrout and Rodney Thomp- son have accomplished a great deal in trying to make Westport a better school and were rewarded as the two who have Done the Most for Westport. Whenever you see Pat Ramsey Larry Holland is always close by, so you can guess what catagory they got-Best Known Couple. The guy with all the muscles, J ay Bucher, and the gal with all the -curves, Pat Lumlary, were selected as the Best Physique and the Best Figure. 1Hannah Tague and John Blessing were chosen as the Cutest Girl and the Most Handsome Boy in the Westport Senior class. Among the many qualities these two possess-Connie Izard and Bruce Ligenfelter have Wonderful personalities - consequently they were selected as the Best Personal- ities. For their all around ability and sportsmanship Lavonne Dunn and Mike Staggs were chosen as Best Athletes. If you know Alice 2Eisen'hour and Torn Van Biber, you know why they were chosen to conclude the ballot as Comeclienne and Comedian. TIGER TIMES February 5 ....

MODERN JAZZ WORKSHOP On January 11th the Kansas City Modern Jazz Workshop gave its first concert for the 1959 season. It was held at the B'nai Juda Temple at 69th and Holmes. The Eliott- Livingood Orchestra represented the big band sound while the Gus DeWerdt trio, the Samlny 'Tucker trio, and the Arch Martin trio rep- resented the small group sound. The vocal stylings were done by Mari- lyn Maye. The main theme of this concert was contrasting big bands and small groups. The music heard at the concert was some of the finest and the next concert is sched- uled for February Sth.

French Leave Monday, January 12, three mem- bers of Westport's newswriting class had the opportunity to accompany a corporal of the United States Army on a 3 week vacation in Paris. Out of 104 servicemen stationed at the north Pole, Corporal Paul Hodges won a 3 week furlough to any place in the world with anyone he chose. He chose Paris as the place, and a Latin American movie star as the person. While in Paris he fell in love with a Lieutenant in the women's army. Corporal Hodges had many ex- citing adventures while in Paris. Besides all the trouble caused by Corporal Hodges, our reporters said they enjoyed themselves in Paris and would like very much to go back.

GIlBERT REPRESEIITHTIUES This year Dave Izzard, Joanne Caldwell, Myra Wood, Alice Eisen- hour, Pat Hill, Monetia Stevens, Helen Taylor and Lavonne Dunn are working as Eugene Gilbert Repre- senatives. Eugene Gilbert started this company when he was in high school doing much the same thing that the above member of the Crier staff do, and now he has a million dollar busienss. As a representative, their job may consist of testing the effectivenes of a magazine ad, wear- ing a certain newly styled shoe or sports shirt, help name a manufac- turer's new line of merchandise, dis- tribute cosmetic samples or check the television and reading habits of their neighbors. One of the first jobs the girls par- -ticipated in was to show a pair of pa- jamas to 100 girls and get their o- pinion of them. While Monetia Stevens was doing her research in the cafeteria, an amusing thing hap- pened. Mr. Roland E. Crane came up and asked what she was doing-up- on receiving the answer-his com- ment was that she could find better things to do. . G NTLEMAN Get outta my way ya lousy bum! Some people seem to think this is all 'teenagers are capable of saying when they get behind the -Wheel of a car. Well, they're Wrong and right here at Westport are a group of boys who are trying to prove that they are wrong. This -club is called The Gentlemen. The Gents were organized last Aipril with Pat Freeman as President, Ben Childers as Secretary, and Bob Alexander as Treasurer, The -pur- pose of the Club is to 'promote bet- ter, safer, and more courteous driv- ing among teenagers. It gives the boys -a chance to get to know each other 'better and it gives them some- thing to do besides roaming around the streets on nights that they don't have anything to do. 'Ilhe present officers are: John Blessing as Presi- dent, Don Osborne as Secretary, and Bob Alexander as Treasurer. -Meetings are 'held every Tuesday in Alexander's garage and anyone who ever drives by there knows that the driveway is packed wheth- er it is Tuesday night or not. The garage is fbeing fixed up by all of the members, so they won t get cold on those cold, -cold nights. Every- one in the club is interested in cars Cnaturallyj, so when there is any work to be clone on one of the boys' cars, there is always someone to help him with it. This spring the club plans to enter the Kansas City Timing Association, which will make them an official club. A Dragster is now being built by the whole club, with parts and money being donat- ed. If it's finished by Spring they plan to run it at the Drag Strip. This is the first big club project that they have had, fbut they've had a lot of money raising projects, so all the 'boys could get their cluto jackets and plaques. With 'Clubs like this, how can people -say that all 'teenagers are just a bunch of Hot Rodders?

It stars one of my favorite guys and I am sure one of yours. PAT BOONE! Hold your screams down low gals, the teacher's watching. Along with this smooth dream is Tommy Sands, Gary Crosby, and Richard Sargeant. Guys, don't despair. To hold your attention is a feminine star of the Fred Astaire Show on T.V.-Barrie Chase, also Sheree North, and a beautiful blond from France, Chris- tine Carere. The story is about four cadets and their adventures during and after the Mardi Gras. The musical t. v. show that the teenagers seem to yell for more of is the Dick Clark Show on Saturday night at 6:30. The show is emceed by Dick Clark who has a sparkling personality which all teenagers understand and like. The show has a variety of singers, vocal groups, and instrumental groups every week. lt has been said that even adults like it and do you know that includes teachers? Have you ever really wanted to get to know a particular singer, movie star, or some famous person- ality? I have, and I did. The person I have often wanted to know if he is the way people paint him or wheth- er it was just a show-is Pat Boone. And the way I found out was through his new book, Twixt Twelve and Twenty! This guy really digs us. As he puts it-PSO pull up your chair and pretend I just offered you an all- day straw for that coke and let's talk. We have a lot to say to each other! You know, he really did have a lot to say and it really made sense, although he himself said he had no particular style of writing. I would say it is sincere and to the point. Pat believes life is special and every teenager should enjoy it. He also believes that the things a teen- ager has to grow into before he reaches maturity are - spiritual, social, mental, physical, financial, and work. Thruogh this book you learn of P'at's life as a teenager such as his encounters with Rosemary, the fam- ily cow, when he married, his life work and all his dreams and hopes for the future.

There is a purpose for it, it gives pupils experience in choos- ing and honoring those of their num- ber who show sound judgment, good citizenship, and alert leadership. This is more than a popularity con- test, its the difficult task of choos- ing a wise leader. The elections will occur in your home room, and the results of each room's balloting will be tallied in Room 5. To qualify as an officer candidate, a pupil must be regular- ly enrolled as an eighth grader, and must have 11W scholarship points at the end of the first semester. A candidate is nominated through a petition which is carried by a friend. The petitions have been cir- culating this week and must be re- turned to room 5 on Friday, by 3:10 p. m. There is still time to obtain your petition and secure the neces- sary signatures. The petition becomes valid when it is signed by the homeroom teach- er who attests to the number of scholarship points, and signed by at least 75 other eighth grade class- mates. There is no limit nor re- strictions on the number of different petitions which a pupil may sign. Usually a petition carrier will secure five or six extra names on the pe- tition to call for possible duplica- tions. Sometimes unthinking Fresh- man sign Eighth Grade petitions so the extra signatures are good insur- ance. The petition is then returned to Room 5.

PAGE FIVE Sehnnl Development Needed This is the first of a series of articles on the improvements need- ed at Westport to appear in the Crier . Each article will deal with a. different part of the building. by Dave lzzard From the cornerstone of Westport High School we read that this -building was constructed A.D. 1907. And while many of the rooms have been brightened, modernized, or improved with -a new coat of paint, the library has received only green walls. Westport is the only school in the Kansas City high schools that has no public branch library. On top of having no branch li- brary at Westport, the library we do fhave is far too 'small to serve as a good school library. Its seating capacity is forty-eight cramped students. It has about 4,500 vol- umes, most of which are old and very outdated. 'Each student has twenty-two square feet of study space, and -each student has on the average two volumes available to him. The librarian does not have an office. The storage room is too small for a library -of even West- port's small size. The library has no clerk to help maintain it. To illustrate how desperately the library needs repair, 'the lower part of a window was pulled loose when two girls attempted to lower it by merely pulling on the handles. Comparing Westport's library with the standards set up by the American Association of School Librarians, one finds that Westport falls far short of even a poor one. As -an example Westport should have fan :audio-visual room con- nected to the library, it has none. It should seat 250 students with twenty-five square feet per studentg it does not. It should 'have 5,000- l0,000 MODERN volumesg it does not. It should have three confer- ence roomsg it does not. As a mat- ter of fact, Westport's library has nothing but a new coat of paint, which does not improve in any way the poor selection of books and cramped, crowded space. If Westport students are going to tContinued on Page 71 January 29, 1959 PROUD PAST p ing? Chances are almost every time you'v1e come to school, yet can you re- member what the date on the cornerstone is? I couldn't either! After I did a little checking, I found that it is 1907. Then looking back into the old newspaper file in the library of the Kansas City Star. many interesting facts about Westport were uncovered. She has had a long and distinguished ca- reer as a high school. N Early in the morning of April 15, 1907, the original Westport burned beyond repair. It had been taken into the public school system in 1899, when Westport township had been incorporated into Kansas City. It had a total of 750 pupils and its first graduaing class was in 1892, two seniors. The new and present day Wfestport was begun shortly thereafter. It had been planned before the fire, and the principal, Stephen A. Underwood, along with the school board chief enginer and architect, had made a tour of eastern schools during February of 1906. The plan was to bring together all the good points of all the schools in the country, creating Westport. The dedication and laying of the cornerstone took place Friday, June 7, 1907. Four hundred people attended the ceremonies and listened to the usual speeches made by school board officials, while in the background was heard the noise of the workmen cleaning up the ruins of the old building. Beneath the cornerstone which was lowered into place was a copper box containing these items: an autograph list of the Westport stu- dents, a list of the 1907 graduates of the South side ward schools, a.city directory of teachers, the newspapers of the day, reports by the city' and the state superintendents of public schools, and reports by R. H. Jesse of Missouri University and the chancellor of Kansas University. -- When Westport was completed in the summer of 1908, the total cost had reached 440,00 dollars, though it was originally planned to be only 350,000 dollars. An article in the Kansas City Star, August 21, 1908, said, South side pupils live near the safest most complete high school building in the country-a high school building with an equipment worthy of a university. The forty-three teachers on the faculty had much to keep them busy, as students rushed from everywhere to enroll. On September 4, 1908, the Star further praised, There's no need to wonder whether the inside of the 'city's finest school is as attractive as the outside. It is. The rush for enroll- ment became so great that no more .pupils were taken and the rule on dis- tricts was strictly enforced. by Pat I-H11 jerry Gard'ner's jdvmpbvng STANDARD SERVICE Your Neighborhood Siaiion Sales and Service sa Ginn 1 01 am P as we 1 4497 4416 Mam sz. PAGE SIX M N Watch. Clock and Jewelry IN THE BEG IINIIIG . . . by Terry Hughes Jazz is the only music originated is America. Jazz was 'born on the docks and leveees of New Orleans by the Negro slaves that sang work songs as they loaded and unloaded shi-ps that docked there. The rhythm of these songs are the old West African rhythms that they learned ias children, therefore, you could truthfully say that Jazz and African music have ra great deal in common. These work songs eventu- ally became known as the blues The blues finally became stand- ardized into a twelve-bar pattern, although early musicians disagreed. Bill Broonzy thought it was ia mat- ter -of pride not to empty this pat- tern 'although he doesn't think of it in those terms: . . . for me to really sing the old blues that I learned in Mississippi I have to go back to my sound and not the right chords as the musicians have told me to make. They just don't work with the real blues . . . the real blues didn't come out of no book and them chords did . . . the real blues is played and sung the way you feel and no man or woman feels the same way every day . . . The lyrics 'of the blues were en- tirely ad libbed, as was the instru- mental accompaniment. The blues lyrics were often funny, but sad at the same time. This shows that the Negro was able to laugh at his own troubles. An example of this is: Baby, baby, please don't snore so loud. Baby, baby, please don't snore so loud. You're just a little bitty baby. But you sound like a great big crowd The intrumental accompaniment while entirely ad libbed, usually fit the twelve-bar pattern as far as chord progressions are concerned. This same ad libbing was applied to the instrumental numbers also. Such greats as Buddy Bolden, Kid Ory, Baby Dodds, Joe King Oliver, and Louis Armstrong marched through the streets of Storyville playing this music in the honky-tonks and gin mills of Bourbon Street. Jazz travel- ed northward via the riverboats that sailed up and down the Mississippi PAGE SEVEN River. Fate Marable's band was one of the many bands which played on these boats. It was while playing in this band that Louis Armstrong learned to read music. When those boats reached Chicago, White musi- cians heard for the first time what was then called jazz They tried in vain to copy this sound, thus the name Dixieland was applied to the white 1'nusician's attempt at jazz. These bands were hired to play in night clubs and dance halls in Chi- cago and the Negro gained a new place in life because he had some- thing that no one could imitate. CContinued from Page SJ advance in their studies they must 'have a -better library in which to further their knowledge through research. The only way for the library to improve is for the ad- ministration to provide adequate funds, one -dollar per student, to run the library. This would allot to Westport about 351,600 for books. As it now stands Westport receives forty percent of the very minimum of 51,600 or 5400. WHY IS NOT SOMETHING DONE?

The game was played on the Lincoln court, which is a defi- nite advantage to the Lincolnites. Lincoln opened the scoring with six minutes and forty seconds re- maining in the first quarter. This gave them a lead that was never disputed by Westport. ' The Bengal's big guns were Syl- vester Henderson, Jerome Gilbert and Lemmie Watson. These three were remonsible for 18, 13, and 11 points respectively.

'Missouri Near Main Open Evenings PAGE EIGHT A HISTORY From the end of November until late March or early April the atten- tion of all sport enthusiasts is cent- ered on a game known as basket- ball. People of all ages turn out in immense numbers to watch high school, college, and professional teams compete with one another. Its enomous popularity is due to the fact that the competitors are con- stantly in motion, especially under the modern rules. Basketball, unlike most sports, was a deliberate invention. James Naismith, an instructor at the Y.M, C.A. college in Springfield, Mass., was looking for an indoor game to be played when football, soccer, and other outdoor games couldn't be played. To fill this need he invented basketball. He nailed a peach basket on the wall of his gymnasium and used a soccer ball. The object of the game was to throw the ball through the basket and keep the opposing team from doing the same. The first set of rules, thirteen, was made by Dr. Naismith in 1892. Luth- er Gulick revised the rules and sponsored their adoption by the Amateur Athletic Union. To end a confusion a joint committee for Basketball rules was formed in 1915. In 1933, this group was succeeded by the National Basketball Commit- tee, which is the present body. Early records show that Yale sup- ported a team in 1893. In 1902 the first intercollegiate league was form- ed and the Western Conference be- gan in 1905. The advantages of basketball are many-fast action, uncertainty in scoring gsmiple rules which make it easy for almost anyone to learng pos- sibilities for development of individ- ual and team work, the small num- ber of men neededg and the possi- bility of playing in a small space. DELPHIANS Delphians are completing plans for an elimination. basketball game between Dana, Promethean, and Pundit Litarary societies. M.rs. 1VlIildred Patterson, sponsor of Delphians, started the club in 1948. In that year, the gym teachers pick- ed the name they wanted for their club from a list of Greek names. VIKES TAKE TIGERS W,estport's fighting Tigers lost their first league game to the North- east Vikings Thursday, Jan. 8, on the Southeast court. The Vikes were led by Ed Maxwell, who hit 15 points. Although Maxwell was und- er the basket most of the game and was always in the thick of the action he Caccording to the refereesjj com- mitted not one foul. The scoring was opened by North- east's George Kean 37 seconds after the game started. Two and a half minutes later Dan Hudgins hit a jump shot to open the Tiger scoring, in fact, it was the only scoring done by the Bengals in the entire first quarter. Northeast hit 7 points. During the second period the Vik- ings held as much as a ten point lead, but finished the half only 9 points ahead. Jay Bucher and Frank Gonzales both hit 4 points in the quarter, Jay from inside and Frank from the outside. The half ended with Northeast leading 19-10. Coming back from the half Hud- gins hit 6 points and Bucher and Gonzales each 2, but the Vikings retained their 9 point lead. Bernie Ricono hit 4 points for the Vikes. Things began to look up for the Bengals in the final period, narrow- ing the lead down to 5 points at one time, but Maxwell hit 5 in the last 38 seconds and the Vikings won by a score of 41-29. Dan Hudgins played a terrific game hitting 11 points and grabbing off 8 rebounds. Frank Gonzales shooting his min- us ten second free throw in the Northeast game. This was the point that made the Tigers the winners of the lnterscholastic League Tour- nament.

Ten minutes later we were herded into the basement studio. Everyone star- ed and stretched their necks like chickens in a new barnyard. Before the epic production was to go on the air, we were given vital in- structions- Keep quiet during com- mercials. As the theme music started, we danced the show on the air. Our host then noticed that a former announcer just happened to be in the studio . As the two remin- isced, we stood idly by feeling like intruders at a family reunion. Final- ly another record was started and we made an attempt to dance to it on the postage-stamp-size dance floor. Next was the all important com- mercial, on shoes. As we got ready to dance again, our host noticed that a local disc jockey happened to drop into the studio. The disc joc- key was plugging a record so we naturally had to dance to it.

Is it his wealth, fame, knowledge, appearance, honesty, or a combination? A truly great leader in our history was Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln did not have all of the above qualities but he was a man of principles. Whenever he had a duty to perform he did it to the best of his ability. Lincoln wasn't born a great leader, he had to work for his ideals. We have many more advantages than Lincoln did when he was young. But how many of us take advantage of these things? Few of us do! We take things for granted. We d0n't realize how valuable our talents can be. As we commemorate the one hundred and fifty years since the birth of this great president-why not attempt to emulate Lincoln? Do as he did, word hard for what you want and do it well. Have you ever, when the assembly bell rang, thought to yourself, Oh, goody, a chance to talk to my friends! Well, maybe too many of us do it too often. Have you ever, while sitting talking' to your friends, thought of all tne time spent by faculty and students in the preparation ofthe assem- bly-you are not hearing. Every assembly, if measured in dollars and cents is one-seventh of the daily outlay for the operation of the school. The as- semblies are planned to give students wholesome entertainment and con- tribute to the educat.onal opportunities of the school. Guest speakers are often invited to lecture to give broader views on various topics. If all students would co-operate and give their attention to the assem- blies, we would more than repay the school for the time and cost iof the as- sembly programs. .

IMPHUVEMENT NEEDED BAND ROOM TOO SMALL , This is the second in a series of articles on the improfvements needed at Westport. The first article appeared in the last CRIER and covered: the irmaclequacies of the school library. A ' A By Dave Izzarcl Look at the picture and notice the following facts. CD There is no place to store the tubas. C23 The room is far too small to provide enough space for on hundred students and their instruments. 13D There is hardly enough room for the music which is used by both the band and orchestra. This small, old room is the Westport band room, but the band and or- chestra cannot rehearse in it, and many students must use private lockers to store their instruments in because 'there is no space in the band room. There is one electrical outlet that must supply all the electricity needed to run both a tape recorder and an amplifying system. All the locks on the doors of the cabinets are broken or so old they will not function. This means that if one stores an instrument in the band room, one is taking a very big riskg for an instrument could not only be damaged by falling out but it could be stolen. The drum equipment is old and worn from many, many years of use. Some new drum equipment was secured for the marching band but it is by far not enough. Much more equipment, other than drum equipment, should be secured for the band and orchestra, however, not enough money has been alloted for this purpose. It is impossible to enter the band room during the time which the band or orchestra is putting away their instruments for it would be so crowded that you would never, no never, get back out 'the door. The band and orchestra must rehearse on the stage or in the pit of the auditorium which simply means that if anyone else wants to use the audi- torium third or fourth hours, either the musical work must cease, or an- other department can't function as it should. The band and orchestra both are starting work for the district cfontest at K. C. U., the spring concert, the evening spring concert, and the city wide band and orchestra festival. How can the Wlesport band and orches- tra develop its greatest potential with conditions such as they are? It seems that the student council. should look into this problem very throughly.

Dear B.B.'s friend: Your answer is printed below. WORD ORIGIN Mardi Gras is a French word meaning Fat Tuesday. It refers to Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday which is the begin- ning of Lent. Mardi Gras is a Roman Catholic celebration thoughout the world. The pecular aspects have been adopted in the United States, the most famous of which is held each year in New Orleans. It begins every year on January 6 and lasts until the day of Mardi Gras, which falls this year on February ll. In romantic, old New Orleans the people dress in masks and costumes, there are par- ades, elaborate floats, and balls. On the last day ,they have two large balls, which are attended by Rex, the king of the Mardi Gras, and .his Mystic Court of Cosmic.

Through weekly, sparetime meetings of two hours each during the period October-May the young people, approximately 15 to a group averaging 16 years of age, organize and operate a junior corporation under the guidance of adult Counselors. The program is managed and di- rected by a group of local business and civic leaders who provide the funds and leadership and meeting place as well as the tools. The opportunity is offered in more than 200 communities from coast to coast and from gulf to bord- er. Most of the larger American cities have offered a Junior Achieve- ment program for several years. The headquarters of the national organi- zation is in New York City. The Kansas City Area headquart- ers is situated at 3631 Main Street on a second floor. The space pro- vides the operating space where the junior companies meet, machine rooms, and the executive offices. Junior Achievement participation is free. Candidates for enrollment must have attained the 15th birthday but must not have attained the 21st birhday. Applications for enroll ment may be secured after Septemb- er 1st at the Junior Achievement office or during the course of assem- bly program conducted in selected high schools. In the first two years in Kansas City the Junior Achievement pro- gram has been received with ex- ceptional enthusiam.

This was the opening speech of Daniel Wleb- ster, the first orator of the day at a testimonial luncheon for Abraham Lincoln. Abe gathered his forces, and with a mighty gust, blew out all the can- dles. A cheer went up from the assemblage. WThat did you wish for, Abe? Same thing I always wish for, I guess. PEACE, just peace. Maybe. it'll come true someday. But sometimes, I wonder. What with all these new-fangled weapons that are so dangerous. Honestly, the way folks treat each other! Looks like something they'd remember at least that they all belong to the human race. But other times, I think fthey are doing just fine. That new Salk vaccine and all the other research in medicine. Well, for a man of few words, I sure made a long speech! He sat down. Then George Washington proposed a toast. To the Great Emancipa'tor! Steven Douglas lifted his glass and declared To my worthy loppone-nt. Abe smiled happily and patted Mary's hand. Then he turned his atten- tion to Julius Caesar, who was expounding on the fine points of the Roman Forum. The afternoon slipped away quietly with toasts and speeches scattered throughout. About six o'clock Mary Todd Lincoln began to thank the guests for coming, and gently urged them to be on their way. The sun was setting and made the streets look like pure gold Cwhich indeed they werelj The air was balmy as usual, and Abe and Mary set on a pink cloud terrace drinking tea after the last guest had left. They discussed the day and the success of the party, and they agreed it had been a most satisfactory birth- day. ' PAGE SIX huililil Spokr 5 NGRQ:-J MIKE. MILLER Are you interested in statistics?

PAGE SEVEN Break Losing Streak Westport's plucky Tigers ended a three game losing streak by defeat- ing the De La Salle Cadets 37-36, Saturday, Jan. 24. The game was played on the Cadets' court. The Bengals got off to a terrible start, scoring only 4 points in the first quarter as compared to the 12 scored by the Cadets. Then in the second period the Tigers started catching up and with 2 minutes and 36 seconds remaining they tied the score, nevertheless, by the end of the half De La Salle grabbed another lead and the half time score was 20-19. Coming back from the rest period Westport immediately grabbed a lead and by the end of the third quar- ter was leading 28-24. Then with 22 seconds to go the Cadets came with- in l point of the Tigers, but the Bengals held off to win 37-36. One of the reasons for the slow start was a series of down-right lousy passes. For som.e reason the Tiger passers couldnyt hit their tar- gets and the receivers couldn't man- age to hold on to the ball. When the passing improved in the second quarter the scoring also improved. High man in the game was De La Sa1le's Bob Conway with 16 points. Top Westporter was Frank Gonzales with 14. Downed by Falcons The Van Horn Falcons, behind the sharp shooting of Phil Clemens and Jim and Charlie Whipple, defeated the Westport Tigers 52-42 Thursday night, Jan. 24, on the Van Horn court. High man for the Falcons was Clemens, who accounted for 20 points. Jim Whipple was responsible for 11 points and his brother Char- ley for 10. Top man for Westport was Jay Bucher with 15 points. The Tigers were trailing by 6 points in the middle of the first quarter, but came back to lead 16-15 at the end of the period. The second quarter was a seesaw battle, but the Falcons came out ahead with a two point 27-25 lead. B TEAM This year Westport has a superbly coached, well organized, and above all, a winning Second Team. The team is fortunate to have Mr. Bill Ross as their coach, he formerly played at Mlissouri University. He has an excellent knowledge of bas- ketball and is passing it on to those who play for him. The outstanding players on the team are Steve I-Iinde, Floyd Nails, I. R. Hursman, Bill Bradford and Jim Gurley. The other members are Ray Pickens, Ora-l Eidson, Richard Vau- ghn, Mike Sullivan, Gary Cowdrey, Jack Bumgarner, Bill Owings, John Easley, Cannon Mathews, Randy St. Clair, Jim Steele, and Kenny Mos- ley. As this issue of the Crier goes to press they have ia record of 7 wins and 4 losses. They defeated Re- demptorist, St. Joe Central, Paseo, Lincoln, Van Horn, Dei La Salle, and Centralg and lost to Ward, Northeast and twice to Southeast. Wlith a great deal of determination, hard work, and continued skilled coaching they should have a highly successful season. Van Horn came back from the half extra spirited and blasted in 15 points to the Bengals' 6 and took over an 11 point lead by the end of the quarter. They kept at least 10 points ahead throughout the entire final period and finished with a ten point lead. There were only four Westporters to even enter the scoring coluinn. Jay Bucher hit 15. Dan Hudgins 11, and Ronnie Bumgarner and Frank Gonzales 8 apiece. m 2 VESPA FOR SALE, worId's finest and best selling Motor Scooter, terms, Call Victor 2-8410. THE WESTPOHT CRIB!

Missouri February 26, 1959 Mardi Gras Success S.R.0. both Nights wesscns Gwen The hallways and the auditorium of Westpo1't High School wore a very carnival-like atmosphere on February 12th and 14th. The reason -the annual Talent Show. From the overture of the West- port Band playing the Mardi Gras Parade music and the presentation by the eighth grade of twelve floats representing the months of the year, the carefree, fun-like tone of the evening was evident. The Holiday scene with the West- port Choir and the Masquerade Party of the Speech Arts Club were followed by the coronation of Rex of Mardi Gras and the Queen of Hearts. The stage setting with the throne made an appropriate and royal welcome for the king and queen. The honor of being the royal- ty was 'bestowed on Susan Simon and Randall Jessee Thursday, and Carol Ruf and James Larson Sat- urday by the commitee of the Secret Seven faculty. Highlights of the evening were the various interpretations of the dance -by the Prornethean and Pundit Literary Societies and the LaDanse Moderne. The variations in song from a solo by Judy Vogel to acts by the Westport Sextetteg the boys quartet and the finale of Show Boat Melodies by the Girls' Glee Club. Wilson presented comedy and Browning and Dana took the audi- ence to old New Orleans. The clubs represented were Delphiansg W-clubg Science Club and the Future Teach- ers. Thursday evening the show was judged by Mrs. Ula Sharon Bergfeld, Mrs. James Dart, Mr. James Craig, Mr. Randal Jessee, and lVLr. David Skeer. Saturday evening. Miss Cecile Burton presented Wesgers to the following actors, actresses and acts. Best Float: October, consisting of two football players. Runners up: Continued On Page 6 4 Students Superior Four Westport students, Bonnie Cady, Mary Kay Hsamrnarstrom, Irvin Jennings, and Larry Seale are to be commended for a superior per- formance on the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test in the 1958-59 program. Each has been sent a Letter of Commendation by the National Merit .Scholarship Corporation. John M. Stalnaker, President of NMSC, believes that the 10,000 students who received the commen- dation rank in the top two or three per cent in 'ability of the senior stu- dents in their respective states and should be given every encourage- ment to continuue with their edu- cation. 'iWhile the students receiving this commendation did not quite reach the finals of the 1958-59 Merit 'Scholarship competition, each of them has demonstrated highly superior ability and outstanding promise to benefit from college training, declared Mr. Stalnaker. I hope that every one of them will make a special effort to obtain a college education. With further education, these young people can play a vital role in our nation. The annual National Merit Schol- arship competition offers the largest system of privately financed scholarships in the United States. The program is open to all high school seniors in the United States and its possessions. Over 478,000 students in 14,600 high schools entered the 1958-59 competition, which began with the National Merit Scholarship Quali- fying Test on April 29, 1958. Anoth- er group of about 10,000 students, the highest scorers in each state, prorated by population-were an- nounced last October.

This was discussed at the last Student Coun- cil meeting. Mr. James Lawson, Fa- culty Advisor of the Herald staff presented the viewpoint that the student body would gain from such a division. An advantage for the yearbook would be more pages for the different clubs, societies, and other groups. The Herald would be thinner but it would give more stu- dents an opportunity to have treir pictures in it. This year the under- classmen got their pictures taken free of charge, if the paper was re- moved, other money-saving projects might be accomplished. The View- point of Mr. Sicking, Crier advisor, was presented by Dave Izzard, Edi- tor-in-chief. The paper would be larger, more pictures could be in- cluded, the Crier could continue publication beyond the present date, and the Crier could be capable of serving a greater number of stu- dents. Results of student votes in their homerooms were in favor of the division. Tiger Den Tiger Den was held Friday, Febru- ary 6 instead of Saturday because of a basketball game. The music was furnished by records. The corna- tion of the King and Queen of Hearts which was scheduled for this Tiger Den was held on February 21.

Mnookin-Brown The Mnookin-Brown test was giv- en Saturday, February 7, at Wlest- port. One hundred and four students from the greater Kansas City area gathered in our study hall for the test. The students might have gotten a rather strange impression of West- port due to people running around PAGE THREE SEHUUL INIPHIIVEMEN1' Nlilllllili Dust bowl in the summer and mud hole in the winter is a perfect way to describe the miserable athletic field which Westport has been plagued with since the beginning. The field .really belongs to the city and not to Westport. The mud hole has many disadvantages. The greatest of these is that is is located about three blocks from the gym an-d to get there you must cross Gillham Road. lt is a wonder that only two people have been hit by cars since the field has been in use, but two is two too many. The second disadvantage of the one, period. It has no stadium, no matter of fact no one,who has ever to find a place to sit to watch an place. The third disadavantage is that the field has been and will be used again by the Boy Scouts to present a public camping exhibition kn-own as the Janfrborette. This event is held on the 'cow pasture, and when the boys leave, it really is a cow pasture with holes, fire wood, camping fires, ashes, and 'debris of all sorts. Westport has no -out door track of any type so the track men must run out to the University of Kansas City. Some people say tilraft tfhe run out to the track is good exercise but it wastes valuable time that could be used for more important things. You may think Westport High School students have only recently been trying to secure an athletic field. Actually, the 'fight -has 'been going on for many years, generations in fact! During the mid nineteen-thirties, this struggle reached a high -point. Students feeling boiled. After 'repeat- ed requests for action on the field without result, stronger measures were taken. Mass meetings were held, and demonstrations took place. Finally a student walkout was threatened. but was prevented by the principal, D. H. Holloway. At last the field was promised, and on December 14, 1934, Udust bowl is that it does not seat any- benches, no big rocks to sit on. As a seen the field would even 'bother to try athletic battle for there just isn't any a plan appeared in the Star.

Wesger ociefiefn On Friday, February 6, the literary societies held their regular meet- ings. The members of Wilson elected their officers for second semester. They are: President, Don Fleming, Vice-President, Roy Kline, Secre- tary, James Lambethg Treasurer, Jim Larson, Chaplain, George Marsh, Intersociety Representative, John Blessing. Dana, Promethean, and Pundit have held their rushes, and the ac'- ceptances will be on March 6. This year the Intersociety Dance will be held on March 21 at the Music Hall. Usually the literary societies find it compulsory to enter the Literary Contest, but this year each society was permitted to vote on whether or not they wanted to enter the con- test. Each society voted to enter. The main argument in the discussion was, This is the time each year that we can really prove that we are Literary Societies. PAGE roua iger wcmorne Ah-How do you do! This evening we are visiting Lady Jo Ellen Spell- men and Sir Jon Howell. As we enter the hallway of the great Eng- lish Provincil furnished home, we see Lady Spellman floating down the curving stairway in a most magnificant gown. As soon as Lady Spellman seats herself, we'll proceed with the interview. We'll start now, Lady Spellman has been President of her Literary Club CDanaJ for two semesters. Red Cross Representative and Student Council representative are two more of her high honors. In th Embassy Orchestra she holds the office of suspense She is a mem- ber of the Honor Society of which she holds the Bronze Pin. One of the higher clubs in England is the Fitz- hugh Club, she is a member of this. While not training the Hounds, she likes to have the other Ladies over for tea. A certain Sir Maxwell and food seem to head her list for likes along with friendly people. Dislikes are that Horrible Lawrence Welk show and certain letters dictated on Monday and turned in on Wednes- day. When dining out, she likes to have Pizza and Tacos. In the early fall she plans to get her M.R.S. de- gree. We see Sir Howell coming so we'll interview him now. Sir Howell is President of his literary Club fBrowningJ and Editor of the Herald. He was President of the Em- bassy Orchestra and a member of Student Council. He played in the play, Twelfth Night which was PA GE FIVE presented in front of the Queen. God Pins fascinate him, so he has one from the Honor Society. First Rating in the State Music solo con- test is another of his feats. Listening to records and heckling those wai- tresses at the Ye Ole' Tea Shoppe are two of his favorite pastimes. He likes to ice skate and music of any kind, Foods are Pizza, Schneckens' and Tacos. Sir Howell dislikes Eight- th Grade Punks and Valentines. Slnce Sir Howell is a little risque, he often sneaks out to watch the basketball games, and especially the cheerleaders. A certain Ch. 20 of a certain Chemistry book, seems to give him some trouble, but, ah- that's life. He plans to go to college next year, and major in -l Well he doesn't know yet. Question of this issue: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF PRO- GRESSIVE JAZZ?.???? Lady Spellman- 'I don't like it, it's too wild. Sir Howell- Some of the low Pro- gressive Jazz is fine, but when it gets too Progressive, it's too far out. FUTURE TIGER EEN5 Second Semester brings with it many special occasion Tiger Dens. On February 21, the King and Queen of Hearts Tiger Den was held and the King and Queen of Hearts were crowned. Basketball Tiger Den is also an exciting event that is approaching. The 1959 Basketball Queen and two attendants will be crowned, also, the basketball team will be presented. On April 4, the Dream Girl Tiger Den will be held. At the preceding Tiger Den, five finalists will be chos- en. The week prior to Tiger Den, the pictures of the five finalists will ap- pear in the front hall. On April 4, when the students come in the door, they will vote for the girl of their choice. The winner will be crowned by last year's Dream Girl. The literary societies will get their chance to show off their talents at the annual Literary Tiger Den. Each society will present some form of entertainment.. The last Tiger Den of the season is dedicated to the Seniors. At this Tiger Den, the old Seniors of West- port will attend the last Tiger Den of their high school days. RY KAY RETUR S 'Hello says Mary Kay Hammars- strom to all Westporters, after spending six month in Jedda, S'audi Arabia, -Mary Kay has re- joined her senior classmates. Usually, when a student thinks of Saudi Arabia, he pictures a primi- tive countryg but in many respects it's just as up-to-date as America. It displays modern buildings, the people live in large cities, they drive new cars, and they have the same traffic problem as we do. An ex- ample of an amusing incident about the traffic to the Western visitor is concerned with their require- ments for prayer. The Moslem reli- gion requires a believer to face five times daily toward Mecca, the headquarters of the followers of Islam. No matter how conjested the traffic may be, the policeman di- recting traffic will stop to pray. You can imagine the situations that arise! Mary Kay was unable to attend school 'because the two American schools went only to the 8th grade and the others were private schools for boys. For two months she work- ed as a secretary for an American Oil Company. Her leisure time was spent going to the movies, which 'were given by the Air Force and the Oil Company, skin diving and swim- Continued On Page 8 THE WESTPOFKT CRIEH Subfreshman News CONGRATULATIONS to the new 8th Grade officers.

'The students receiving Certifi- cates of Commendation are the next highest scorers, after the Finalists, in each state. NMSC was established in 1955 through grants of 20.5 million from the Ford Foundation and the Car- negie Corporation of New York. About 75 companies, 'foundations -and other organizations channel their scholwarshipi funds directly through the Merit Program. A total of 12 million in scholarship funds has been officially committed in the past three annual programs. Finalists and Com-mended stu- dests receive many scholarships apart from the Merit Program. 'NMSC estimates that over 5 million in scholarships for the freshman year alone will be awarded these students in addition to the regular Merit -awards. Just what is a student receiving a commen-dation in the Merit Scholarships Program like? Since Westport has four such students, the CVRIER staff decided to find out. Bonnie Cady has a long list of ac- tivities as a Westporter. Past vice- president of Pundit, student council representativeg memlber of the student board of the American Royal, a member of the Senior cl-ass business committee, office assist- ant, and the CRIER staff. Bonnie plans to attend Junior College and then the University of Kansas City with a major in liberal arts and a minor in art. Her professional am- bition is to utilize her talent in some area or field of art and teach- ing is also under consideration. Her interests are baseball Ca fanaticj, progressive jazz, and painting. Irvin Jennings has his sight set for Yale or Rice, majoring in en- gineering or nuclear physics. After graduation -from college he would like to tour South Almerica, then return and enter into the business world. Westporters have seen Irvin on the football field and basketball court. His likes include sleep, eating, reading, and lizsteming to long playing mood music. Nary Kay Hamimarstrom, recent- ly returned from the Near -East and would like to retrace her steps and attend the American University at Beriut, Lebanon. Her career calls for a teaching 'position in some high school. Interests include travel, photography, and cooking. Larry Seale .plans to attend Rice or M.I.T., majoring in nuclear phy- sics. Just in case this doesn't work out-diplmacy is also on 'his agenda. Members of Browning, Speech Arts, De Molay, and the HERALD Staff know Larry as a very active West- port Senior. His interests are photography, reading, swimming and he likes pizza. WESGERS GIVEN Continued From Page 1 December, February, May and Janu- ary.

The out- standing members of this year's team are Gene Burns, John Burkle, James Lightner, John Rolfe, Carl Hursman, George Cabrera, and Ber- vin Fisher. BIRDS BUMPED Behind the big guns of .I ay Buch- er and Charley Myers Westport de- feated the Central Eagles 54-51. The game was played January 29 in the Southeast gym. Bucher led the Bengal scoring in the first quarter, two field goals from under the basket, one from the right corner, and a free throw just before the end of the quarter. Cen- tral held their own and the total at the end of the first period was 12 to 11 in favor of the Tigers. With just 2 minutes and 3 seconds remaining in the half the Eagles held a 24 to 16 lead, but a flurry of two field goals and two free throws brought the score to a closer 24-22. In the third quarter the Tigers really took off. Doug Cox, who up till now had a total of only 11 points, hit four buckets to lead the Bengal scoring. Frank Gonzales, Gary Gillihan, Bucher and Myers all contributed to hit a total of 21 points in the third period. PAGE SEVEN nights Busted The Westport Tigers won a league game after three losses by defeating the Southeast Knights 65-61 January 27, on the Southeast court. Playing a very important role in Westportls victory was Charley Myers, the Tiger jump shot ace, w-ho made a beautiful come- back and hit 14 points. High Tiger scorer was Jay Bucher with 17. The first quarter was a very close, seesaw battle, with Southeast com- ing out ahead 14-13. The score was 14 to 11 near the end of the period, but with 1 second left Ronnie Bum- garner hit a jump shot to bring Westport within one point of the Knights. ,Southeast lengthened their lead 'by hitting la hot 23 points in the second period, Charlie Sykes get- ting 6 of them. The Tigers kept the lead down by hitting 18, Bucher with 8 and Dan Hudgins 6. The score at the half was 37-31 in favor of the Knights. Things were evened up the third quarter with Westport hitting 14 points to 8 by Southeast. This tied the game up at 45 all. Jay Bucher hit from under the basket just after the final period started to give the Bengals a lead that was never taken over. Frank Gonzales, Charley My- ers, Bucher and l-Iudgins combined their skill for a 20 point fourth quar-er. The Knights were unable to keep up the pace and Westport won 65-61. eteat Paseo After trailing 32-28 at the end of three quarters the Westport Tigers struck back with a 17 point fourth quarter and defeated the Paseo Pi- rates 45-41. The game was played February 13 in the Southeast gym. The Bengals held an 11-9 lead after one quarter and a 22-19 lead at the half. Then in the third period the Bucs hit 13 points and the Bengals only six, which put Westport four points behind. With one minute and 14 seconds remaining in the game Charley Myers hit a jump shot to put the Tigers into the lead, Gary Gillihan and Jay Bucher added five more while the Pirates could only get three and the final score was 45-41. ' SBALPED BY INDIANS Thursday night, Feb. 2, Westport lost their league game to the South- west Indians. The Tigers held a 35-29 lead at the half, but a weak third quarter temporarily slowed the Tigers attack down to a near stand- still and the Indians went on to win 72-64. The opening period was close all the way, the biggest difference being four points. John Davis of Southwest accounted for eight of the Indians' points, while Charley Myers hit five for the Tigers. The first quarter score was a 15-15 tie. Myers kept up the pace in the se- cond quarter by hitting eight points, moreover, the rest of the team came right with him for a 20 point second period. The Indians were still drag- ging along, getting only 14 points to make the score at the half 35-20 in flavor of the Bengals. Southwest shifted into high gear in the third quarter, hitting 19 points while Westport had a flat tire and hit only seven. Hessleroth, the In- dians' tall man, accounted for ten of their third quarter total. The Tigers hit their stride again in the final quarter, hitting 22 points, nevertheless, Southwest did even better, getting 23. Myers hit three field goals and five free throws to give him a total of 26 points. Charley Hess hit eight for the Indians, and they took the game 72-64.

The game was played Feb. 7, on the Southeast court. An almost half-court jump shot by John Gor- ton with two seconds remaining tied the game and put it into overtime. The Hawklets took a lead 6 seconds after the overtime started, and things began to look bad for the Tigers, nevertheless, with 57 seconds re- maining Pat Caldwell fouled Char- ley Myers. Charley calmly went to the charity line and sunk both free throws. This second tie put the game into a sudden death overtime, the winner being the first team to get two points. Less than a minute after the period started Pat Collins hit from under the basket to give Rock- hurst a 45-23 victory.

The people dress just as you would imagine, and the majority of women are still veiled outside the house. Most of the men are seen sporting western shoes. The more educated people speak English and the others may learn it free of charge at the schools. The Airabs love to go to movies, and their favorite stars are Kim Novak and Rock Hudson. Although it's good to be back, Mary Kay had an enjoyable and ed- ucational time while she was there. SENIORS GLASH On Friday, February 13, some of the wildest fashions in town were seen around the halls of Westport. Some stranger entering Westport would probably think Westport had no taste in clothes at all. What was the occasion? It was the annual Senior Clash Day. Many of the girls were quite dubi- ous about walking into school with their new fashions so they either stayed over night with some friend, or planned to meet someone out- side school so they could walk in and brave the laughter together. The boys did not enter into the occasion quite as enthusiastically as the girls, but still some of the boys were seen in some pretty cool out- fits.

They were to contain from 1,776 to 1,958 words. The title of his winning essay was, Willy was the 5th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States adopted? Is it now being used as originally intend- ed? If not, how and why do you think so? Mike said that though there are several parts to the fifth amend- ment, most people are familiar only with the self-incrimination clause. He went on to say that these other clauses, such as eminent domain, are being used as they were intend- ed, but the self-incrimination clause has been misused. The public has become convinced that only the guilty' will use the Fifth, which makes it no longer safe for the innocent to envoke it. The founders did not include this clause for the protection of the guilty. FUGEL STILL IN RAGE This year one senior at Westport has reached the Finals of the 1958-59 National Merit Scholarship Program. Wayne Fogel distinguished him- self by his scores on the two college aptitude tests used in the National Merit Scholarship competition. Over 478,000 students were tested in the 1958-59 Scholarship competition which began last April and the test results have pared the competitors down to the 10,000 Finalists. Some 700 of the Finalists will be named Merit Scholars this spring. They, and the colleges they have chosen, will share in three million five hundred thousand dollars in Merit Scholar- ship funds offered by over eighty different organizations and indivi- duals. The winners will be deter- mined by the results of final judg- ing now being conducted. The Merit Scholars will be announced May 1, 1959. The names of the Certificates of Merit winners are being sent to over 1,500 colleges, universities and other scholarship-granting agencies for consideration for thousands of other privately-financed scholarships of- fered outside of the Merit Scholar- ship Program. As reported in the last issue of the Crier. this category included the following students from Westport: Bonnie Cady, Mary Kay Hammerstrom, Irvin Jennings and Larry Seale. Four Year Scholarships Given The Merit Scholarships are four- year awards, and carry stipends that range from S100 a year to S1,500. Each stipend is individually deter- mined on the basis of the need of the individual recipient. The amount is based upon family resources, sum- mer earnings, and college costs, all of which vary with each winner. I The National Merit Scholarship Corporation was established in 1955, ROTD A new feature comes to the Crier this issue, the Scholastic Roto. Scho- lastic Roto is a special magazine supplement designed especially for teen-agers with their activities and interests in mind. It is published monthly by the Na- tional Scholastic Press Association and shipped to us from Cleveland. lt comes to you free as a part of your Crier and Herald subscription. The money necessary to meet sal- aries of the editor and the business manager, shipping charges, the print- ing bill, postage and numerous mis- celaneous expenses comes from the advertisers. Roto has a circulation of 1,100,000 copies. You can be a part of Roto yourself. The publishers are always looking for contributions that would be of interest to teen-agers. Any piece submitted will be given careful con- sideration, and upon publication a check from then to fifty dollars will be mailed to the contributor. We feel you will greatly enjoy Roto, and look forward to it every month. through grants of twenty million from the Ford Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation of New York. The current program is the fourth that has been conducted. Over 2,300 Merit Scholars are already in col- lege. Nearly one million students have been tested in the competitions to date. Fifth Program Begins in April The fifth program will begin on April 28, 1959, with the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, to be given in an estimated 15,000 high schools.

Cickforia- APPREUIATIUN What does this word mean to us? Probably most of us have never even thought about it. Actually, appreciation is an art in itself. The Japanese people are considered by many as being the most skilled in this aesthetic art, but it is practiced by the minority, world-wide. You can appreciate many things-art, music, people, and even life itself. Wfhether most of us realize it or not we each have a philosophy of life. If appreciation is included in this philosophy, our lives can be much fuller and rewarding. Even in our everyday lives there is beauty and richness for which to be thankful. Do you ever stop to notice sunlight, shadows, or supposedly dull objects which really have a character all of their own? Appreciation is the key to a happier iife. ---1 Quofafiond- For of all sad words of tongue or pen, the sadest of these: It might have been! John Greenleaf Whittier This is directed mainly to the Seniors of Westport, but if the shoe fits any other class, Wear it. The Senior body this year is nothing but a group of cliques. Have all of the Seniors ever gotten together and had a picnic, a party, or a meeting to talk over the problems of Westport? No, we've all been too busy worrying about ourselves. One little clique is always critisizing another little clique for some reason or another, but will they ever go and try to iron out their differences? No, it's more fun to talk about everybody isn't it? Maybe somebody wants to do something a little out of- the ordinary, well then they're classed as odd or something because they don't follow the crowd and the line of least resistence. To be an individual is unheard of in and around the halls of Westport. There are very few Seniors that you can trust. Seems as if no one knows how to be a real friend anymore. Everyone is out for himself. It is a sin to speak to someone out of your own little crowd, they might think you are actually trying to be nice. Why don't we, the Seniors of Westport High School become proud of this year's graduating class, our class. When we do graduate, let us feel that we are leaving everyone with the gift of friend- liness. Let's really try to overcome the handicap that we, the Seniors, have fallen into. ---1 W'estport's halls look much brighter and more cheerful now that there is a new coat of paint on them. The auditorium has been much improved with the addition of new curtains for the stage. The gymnasiums have been brightened considerably by the painters. The new homemaking class rooms are at present being revenoated from top to bottom. In the spring Westport will undergo even further changes. Both the Chem- istry and Physics departments will receive new laboratories. Along with the physical changes come rules which all the students must follow. These new rules should be made by each individual so that he may do his part in keeping Westport brighter, longer. Join with your fellow students to keep Westport bright and cheerful. Use but do not abuse it. Remember that it must last for a long time.

They met at Westport at 7:15 a. rn. and went by bus to Law- rence. The Westporters were Anna Easter, Mary Jo Murray, Bonnie Webb, Katie Fauble, Kerstin Lilja, Paula Luther, Carol Shipley and Sandy Shrout. They were met at K.U. by Dean Heller, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts. They attended a convocation, which introduced the beginning of Religious Emphasis week on the campus. Then the girls were introduced to their guides for the day, undergraduate girls who showed them around the campus and took them to classes and lunch. Later, they dispersed to the Hawk's Nest, in the Student Union, for cokes. Westporters were pleasantly surprised to meet Artie Thompson '58, who is now a student at K.U. After the coke session, the group re- turned to the bus for the trip home. Cool Day The Juniors had a real cool day Fri. day, February 20, which was very similar to senior clash day. The boys were seen sporting suits and sun- glasses but the girls weren't quite so brave, as most of them were in re- gular school attire.

We have attempted to point out the deficiencies in the school library, 'band' 'roo'm.,. athletic Field, and now we present the press room! A space about ten by six feet ,two typewriters which must be shared with the Herald staff and are in need of repair, and one old cabinet is what the journalism class has to work with in order to publish a newspaper every other week. The class has no mimeograph machine, no file cabinet, and ab- solutely no modern conveniences. The staff is forever hunting for proof cards, layout paper, typing paper and other innumberable items which are absolutely necessary for a smooth running newspaper. There is no storage space available for these items so they move from spot to spot like a man without a country. The room, room 5, is noisy for any sound simply bounces off of the walls and ceiling to cause utter chaos when the typewriters are in use. It is even harder to think when different staff members are reading the paper out loud as they must do when they are proofing. The lighting in the room is miserable. On a dark day one almost needs a flashlight, held right over his head, to read or write. Other schools have neon lights built in the ceiling, but our press room has four lights suspend- ed from each corner of the room. Quite a difference! Van Horn High School has a press room with one wall of glass and a line of typewriters running the full length of the room. Other press rooms have storage space, modern equipment, private phones. Westport does not, The room is used for four other classes-which means a staff member is never able to enter the room for research work or checking a file. Past issues of the Crier have been lost because of the lack of space. Next year the Westport Crier is going to be changed to a five column newspaper. Along with a change in the paper there should be a change in the press room. Madam jay's BAKERY BIRTHDAY - WEDDING and PARTY CAKES 3846 Troost VA 1-0430 months to complete.

FJKVETZ' SIX i xunmi, MIK M insk The W Club's latest selling pro- ject has come to an end with a com- plete profit. This time the fellas were selling sweat shirts donated to the club by Eddie J acobson's, who were unable to sell them. The club again formed into teams and offered prizes for the first and second teams. The winning team consisted of Al Robi- nette, Bob Bible, and Anthony Nigro. They sold a total of 42 shirts, Robi- nette selling 23 of them. The second place team sold 24 shirts. The mem- bers of it were Irvin Jennings, Phil Mfyles, and Mike Miller. The prizes were 5155.00 for first place and 353.00 for second. ,l. .... -i- A rule that is seldom invoked was used the night of the Van Horn game. Many people who attended the game wondered why Phil Patter- son had warmed up and then when the game started he wasn't with the team. After a little investigating I found out that if an athlete does not attend school the day of a game he is ineligible for that game. Phil wasn't at school because of illness in the family, and therefore was in- eligible. The Tiger Junior Varsity finished a very successful season by soundly defeating the East Bears 62 to 32. This victory gave the Little Tigers a 12-4 record and a second place berth in the league. The Northeast B Team captured first place. J. R. Hursman, a junior, is the team's leading scorer. He ended the season with a strong 13.3 average. This fine showing by the B Team indi- catees that next year's varsity will be hard to beat. There should also be congratulations paid to Mr. Ross, who has done a terrific job coaching the team. 1 CAPTAINS This year the basketball team un- animously chose Charley Myers and Jay Bucher as their Co-captains. It PAGE SEVEN is a long tradition that the basket-A ball team will choose its captain for captains, as the case may bel before the final game of regular season competition. The elections this year were held a few days before the East game, and it was Charley and Jay who met with the officials and opposing captains before the game started. Charley has been playing varsity ball for two years and Jay for three. Both played baseball in the summer and Jay played football, this year being chosen Honorable Men- tion in the league and also All- District Honorable Mention. These two were chosen because of their playing and leadership qualities. Bears Bust Bengals The East Bears boosted themselves out of a berth in the cellar of the league by taking the Westport Tig- ers 51-40, Feb. 27, on the Southeast court. The outstanding points as far as Westporters were concerned was Jay Bucher's 25 points. The Bears led 14-12 at the end of the first quarter, John Finfrock and Dean Tomlin accounting for 11 of their total. Bucher hit nine for the Bengals. East stayed ahead, but they held only a one point 26-25 lead at the half time. By the three quarter mark the Bears had built the gap up to three points. In the fourth period East ended strongly, getting 15 points, while Westport slumped and could only hit for seven, which made the final score 51-40. Albert Miller, East's,most potent scorer in past games, was beautifully covered by Dan Hudgins and could only manage to get five points, all in the second half. The leading scor- ers for the Bears were Tomlin and Finfrock, who hit 20 and 16 respec- tively. Charley Myers hit eight points and Gary Gillihan four. DEFEAT MANUAL The Westport Tigers pulled a close one out of the fire Friday night, February 20, as they defeated the Manual Red Birds on the Van Horn court. The Bengals held a two point 12-10 lead at the end of the first period, and they stretched it out to a 27-22 lead at the half and 41-33 at the three quarter mark. Things look- ed bad in the final period, but with 1:21 remaining Jay Bucher hit two free throws to put the Tigers ahead. 49-45. The Red Birds scored once a- gain, but the Tigers stalled for the remaining time and won 49-47. , Manual 47 ., . , ., F.G'. F.T. F.

You never know when a disaster may strike you or those you love, leaving a ter- rible toll of human tragedy. No communities, nor the people of a community who have not experi- enced disaster, can realize the pro- blems caused by the personal suf- fering. Furthermore, no community can be sure it is safe from such. The Red Cross, founded in 1881, has acted for people of our country and abroad by providing help to the victims of tornadoes, floods, and hur- ricans, fi-res, shipwrecks, and other similar catastrophes. Now the Red Gross has set up a disaster relief program making it possible for we, as teen-agers to help. Fifteen select students from each school in Kan- sas Ci-ty attend Red Cross meetings. They learn what they would do in case some unexpected disaster should strike our city. In case of such an emergency, these young people go to an assigned area and do the jobs given them. This organization is under adult supervision at all times. BAND GIVES CDNGERT February 20, the Westport Band under the direction of Mr. Duane Miller, presented its annual Band Concert. The band's first selection was the Nutmeggers March followed by The Man with the Golden Arm. Selection from Damn Yankees were then played. The Sax Quartet, consisting of Jerry Maxwell, Steve Sturdevant, Grande Benoja and Bill Bradford, played Prelude to Beguine, and Strickly for Saxs. The swinging cat, M.r. Don Fitz- hugh, then acted as narrator for that old story of Little Bop Riding Hood. The audience was then able to get into the act when the band played Si Si Trocadaro. t The last number was Mafacibo, with an encore of Relax? 'rr-is wssrronr CRIER EIICHIIIIGE HSSEIIIBW Spanish, French, Swedish and Dutch greetings were heard Febru- ary 25, 1959, when Westport was host to a foreign exchange assembly to start the campaign to sell stock for next year's exchange student. Kerstin Lilja, our exchange stu- dent this year, told of her first im- pressions of America, how she be- came interested in becoming a for- eign exchange student and some of her experiences while coming to the United States. Consuelo Espana is attending Central. Connie told of the school system in Guatemala and dat- ing customs of her native land which included chaperones. From her re- marks, we may conclude that she now finds chaperones unnecessary. George Smith of France al- so told of the customs of his home country. Nikolaus Van Nickork urged West- porters to buy stock, not for the for- eign exchange student, but for the sake of better understanding through out the world. The program is now underway in the Various homerooms to secure sufficient funds to bring another foreign exchange student to West- port. The program has the full back- ing of the student council-but also needs the backing of each and every Westporter.

At Easter-tide the earth begins to live again, as grass and flowers push through the brown earth. Wonderful customs and stories complete the enchantment of the season. Older than Christianity is the Greek story of the earth's a- wakening. Eggs were considered pious gifts because they were emblems of the resurrection. In many countries people exchange an Easter kiss with the greeting, Christ is risen, to which the reply is, He is risen, indeed. The radiance of the first Easter morning when Christ arose was a sharp contrast to the dark days of Calvary and Gethsemane. The resurrection is a story of everlasting hope for all humanity, regardless of race, creed, or religion. crilafure Matthew 28. 5-7 5 But the angel said to the women Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 I-Ie is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. r- 1 Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee, there you will see him. Lo, I have told you. Last year at about this same time, Westport started an all out campaign to raise the necessary funds to bring a foreign exchange student to West- port. Today, we have a very charming and gracious young lady from Swed- en, Kerstin Lilja, as our foreign exchange student. Kerstin has the honor of being the first exchange student Westport has ever had, but it is hoped that she will not be the last. Again, this year a drive has begun to raise money for another foreign exchange student. Fifty cents invested in one share of stock is the best investment you as a Westporter can make this year. From the money raised another high school boy or girl from somewhere in the world will have the opportunity to eat-sleep-and-drink the U.S.A. This student will live with Americans and learn the American way of life so that he or she may take back to their country a true and accurate picture of the United States. A fifty-cent share of stock will give you the satisfaction of knowing that you helped someone to come to America to study. A fifty-cent share of stock is in a small way a share in the promotion of peace and good-will in the world. A fifty-cent share of stock will help bring another interesting per- sonality to Westport next year. Buy a share of stock, NOW!

Well, that may be true in some things, but we bet it wouldn't do on those dirty socks that went to the Sock Hop, Wednesday, March 11th. Everyone was really making it rough on their mother's automatic.

AIR FORCE ACADEMY by Mike Miller Are you interested in becoming an officer in the United States Air Force? If your answer to this ques- tion is yes, then this article might be of assistance to you. On March 10, 1 had the pleasure of hearing Cap- tain Arthur Ragan of the Air Force Academy staff speak to a group of high school boys interested in the academy program. Captain Ragan said the purpose of the academy is to train future career officers, the generals of tomorrow. The require- ments for the academy were then covered by the speaker. He must be 17 and not yet 22, a citizen of the United States, single, at least 5 feet 4 inches tall and not more than 6 feet, 6 inches with weight according, and a vision of 20-50 correctable to 20-20. There are several ways to become a candidate, but the most common is the Congressional appointment. Be- coming a candidate means taking a great deal of tests, the main three being the College Entrance Board Examination, the Air Force Officers Qualifying Test, and a Physical Apti- tude Examination. After passing these tests with top grades the candidate will become a Fourth Classman in the United State Air Force Academy. The first year is very difficult to enable the officials to see if the cadet will be able to hold the responsibility of be- ing an Air Force officer. The cadets take a varied course of study which leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering and an opportunity to go on to pilot's sonool. - 'llhis is very good 'chance for boys wlho are interested in engineering or the .Aiir Force as a career.

Upon being ask- ed if they would mind an interview, they replied, Like if you aren't from the Income Tax Bureau, Okay. With this happy note we began our interview. The gal, Bonnie Cady, was an artist from Kansas City. While in high school she had been Vice President Hof Pundit, was a sweater girl for Pep Club, and a member of Stnide'nJt'C'o1mci1. She won the Hap- py HomemJaker award iiromachick named Betty Crocker, was amember of Speech Arts, a member of fthe American Royal Advisory Board, Crier Staff and a Red Cross Repre- sentative. Some of her likes were, and we quote, Like, I dig Jazz, baseball, musicians, poetry, art, painting, appreciging life, easy go- ing people, 'Beatnil-:+s', and fourth hour. Things I don't dig are, Cham- pagne music, Rock and Roll, pan- icky people, CPuppet Masters,J get- ting up or going to bed, overly dramatic people, and W.l-LB. Her pastimes include, mingling with Beats , riding around late listen- ing to Steve-o, working on her novel and painting pictures. Chow Mein and Onion Rings are her favorite foods, when she gets time fto eat. She said she would like to make the college scene and major in Liberal Arts.

Some of the answers given might be subject to quite a bit of controversy. The boys agreed that the girl who is consciously pretty, but not per- fectly pretty, and good-looking, but nothing glamorous represen-ts inter- national prettiness. On the subject of figures, some boys prefer the more slender Audrey Hepburn and others like show-piece types. The boys had different opinions about wthat they first notice about a girl. One immediately checks a girl's face, another the right dress, a third says it depends upon where you see a girl. A girl passes wear- ing perfume, that is what I might notice first, said an-other. 'Dhey es- pecially dislike nails that are stubby -a girl who bits them, too much make-up and Ustrinigy hair. The boys thought American girls ear esger, We have a complaint! We wait weeks at a time for the school pap- er. In your issue before last you ad- vertised a contest sponsored by Bil- ly Boy Syrup Company. The contest was to appear in the February 26th issue, but it didn't appear. How are we to win a prize? What should we do? Sincerely, Two Contest Fiends Dear Contest Fiends, The only thing you can do about the paper coming out weeks at a time fit comes out every other weekl is join the Crier staff in your Senior year and try to change it. As far as the contest is concerned, we received a letter from the adver- tiser stating that they would send us the contest later. Therefore, it was not -our fault and the contest wil-l appear in the next issue. Good We have a problem. There are certain groups of boys in a club- who seem to think they're so much better than everyone else. How can we make them get their noses out of the air? If they would, they'd be real nice guys. Discouraged Senior Girls Dear Discouraged Senior Girls, Try some new perfume as a come on-then be certain to give them a friendly reception. Wesger Dear Wesger, Who wrote that horrible editorial about the Seniors? What can we do about it? We donit like it! the Seniors Dear Seniors, A member of the staff of the Crier wrote the editorial. We will be hap- py to print any letter from a Senior or other student as rebuttal. Wesger SPUHT5 Il Y Saturday, March 7, 12 Westport girls attended Basketball Sportsday at Southwest High School. Before the games started, girls re- presenting each school in the city went to the auditorium to find out who they would play against. West- port's opponents were Lincoln and Manual.

After all the games had been play- ed, everyone went to the cafeteria for a luncheon. Present at the luncheon were Miss Ola Galatas and Dr. Richard A. Ball. The entire Sportsday team would like to thank Miss Ophelia Flores for a wondeful job of coaching. The members of the team were: Forwards Guards MariAnn Culp Beverly Powell Lavonne Dunn Carol Roehich Linda Gilmore Kathy Sullivan Marsha Johnson Judy Swanson Navene Rhone Sandy Zumwalt Lorna Dyche Lonetta Brown : . ed years, was and still is President of the Society of Degenerate Musi- cians, President of Banfd, a member of Wilson and Crier Staff. He plays skins Cdrumsfor some of you non- Beatsi for Dave Izzard and his Band and Phil Myles and his Combo. He was a member of Student Council and All City Orchestra. He likes-or as he put it- goes for jazz, play- ing drums and sharp chicks, driving with the top down, Mexican food, modern art, running around and talking at all hours of the morning, beards, money and Sick-Sick jokes. He admires and envys the Beat Generation. When asked some of his dislikes he replied- Well, l'm con- stantly putting down, sleep, author- ity, shaving, being broke, phoney people, work, snobbish people, people that don't know what they are talking about, people that think I'm beat, people that don't try to understand the 'Beat Generation', Cbecause of a secret desire to be Beatl, worrying and people who try Ito plan things for me. Some of his 'pastimes are Diggin people, listening to jazz, eating, drivin, fast, and heckling everybody. Later in life he might make the college scene and major in Percussion or music or join the Navy. Question of this issue: In your opinion who is the best Jazz Alrtist at the present time and why? BONNIE: Ella Fitzgerald, mainly because I dig vocalists. She can take any song and with it create any mood she wants. Ella can improvise as well as any musician. TERRY: Count Basie and Band, be- cause Basie is a perfectionist and the band swings. Sonny Payne, his drummer, once said, I'll play with Basie for nothing because it's that much fun to play with his band. - .., 'Vi-'V stiff, and don't enjoy life enough.

That problem is space. In room 106, one of the two rooms which make up the department, one finds a complete lack of space even for walking. Space, not only 'in rroom 106 but tlhrougihlout the Alrt Departmlent is, therefore, this issue's topic for school improvement. The first and biggest problem is, naturally, room 106, for there is not even enouigh space for all the students -who enrolled in that class. For instance, out 'of 33 people in one group' wlhlo tried to takie art only 22 desks were a- vailable for them. On top of that, lack of cabinet space in 106 makes it necessary that all the equipment vital for conducting a class must be stored next door in another room that can only be entered by the hall. This situ- ation is quite awkward for fthe teacher and lhis students. While the Art Department has limited equipment and space for drawing, there is no space made available for other very necessary branches of art such as ceramics and design. But above all the Art Department is expected to make with its -limited facilities all the posters used for advertisement of the school productions and paint flats used in these producions. And what do they lhave to work with except a group of eager, wiilling students and very limlited spade and equipment? When asked if any new equipment was needed, the reply of one art teach- er was, Yes, we need new equipment but because there is no space to store it We 'cannot have it. 'Iihe teaclher was referring to fa sim1ple,, small paper cuhter which is va piece of very vital importance to the smooth running of any art class. A very worth while campaign for the student council would be one to secure better facilities and more space for the Art Department so that in the future Westport can be truly proud to say, We have one of the finest Art Departments in the city.

Last year rooms 311 and 312 were old fashioned and outdated. 311 was ex- tremely small while on the other hand 312 was much larger. The rooms were redecorated and made the same size with an adjoining combination office and stockroom. This office-stockroom has shelves on two walls to take care of books and supplies. It also accommodates a teacher's desk and a type- writer. Four people may work comfortably in this room. Both rooms were painted-one green and the other peach, and one room has modern green blackboards. Both rooms also have modern lighting and a large supply of electrical outlets to take care of the electric machines. The Commerce Department includes among its very wide range of equip- ment: electric and manual typewriters, five transcribing units, five electric adding machines, and electric calculator, electric mimeograph, manual emeiograph, and ditto. The Commerce Department we have at Westport offers many opportu- nities to the student going into business. Don't you agree?????

I ' TEE WESTPOHT CHIER Tigers Grab Third The Westport Tigers came out of the' Rockhurst Region- als with third place. The regionals were won by Lincoln, Pem Day rated second, Westport was third, and the host school, Rockhurst, was fourth. DEFEAT HAWKLETS Friday night, March 6, the West- port Tigers met the Rockhurst Hawklets-to fight for third place in the Rockhurst Regionals. The Tig- ers won the game by a score of 62 to 57, and thus captured third place. Rockhurst held a considerable lead at the end of the first quarter. John Gorton hit ten points for the Hawklets to lead them toward their 23 points. ,J ay hit eight of Westport's 14. The I-Iawklets kept up their lead during the second period, the score at the half being 37-27. The Bengals started on the road back in the third period. Charley Myers hit six points and Ronnie Bumgarner four to cut the Rockhurst lead down to eight points. In the final period the Tig- ers really moved. They scored eight points in the time Rockhurst was scoring threeg moreover, they scored six more points before the Hawklets hit another bucket. This brought the score up to 55-54 in favor of Rock- hurst and it seemed that the Tigers had had itg but with one second to play Jay Bucher was fouled by Jim Selzer. Jay sank the first shot to tie the game, and missed the second to put it into overtime. Doug Cox open- ed the scoring by hitting from under the basket. A minute and 36 seconds later Pat Caldwill hit to tie it up again. Then Dan Hudgins was fouled by Pete Genova, and he hit both free throws to put the Tigers into a two point lead. Ford Fredrickson came into the game with seven sec- onds to play and he too was fouled by Genova. Ford hit the first free throw and when he missed the sec- ond Gary Gillihan grabbed the ball and further widened the gap by hit- ting for two more points. This made the final score 62-57. The Tigers hit 22 field goals out of 50 attempts for a percentage of 44'Z:, while the Hawklets hit 20 for 45 for 44592. Westport hit 62.1fM1 of their free throws and Rockhurst hit 54.893, THE WESTPORT CRIER Westport's tournament hungry Tig- ers got off to a very good start in the Regionals by defeating Hogan, the Catholic League Champions. The game was played Tuesday night, March 3, in Rockhurst's Mason-Hal- pin Field House. Things got off to a very even start, the first quarter score being 11 all. Dick Albrect and Andy Ulsh ac- counted for nine of the Ram's total. Hogan started the second period by quickly grabbing a three point lead. Then Jay Bucher hit two quick buc- kets, one from the corner and the other from under the basket and Ronnie Bumgarner hit two charity tosses to put the Tigers ahead 17 to 14. A minute and 27 seconds later the Rams tied the score, only to have Dan Hudgins hit a free throw to once more put the Bengals ahead. Both teams scored one more time and the score was 20-18 in favor of Westport. The Rams went out ahead in the third quarter by putting together 17 points as compared to only eight by Westport. The fourth quarter looked bad for the Bengals, but a quick flurry of baskets climaxed by two free throws by Dan Hudgins tied the game at 40-40 with four minutes and forty-one seconds remaining in the game. Then Hogan's Bob McNamara drove 'in for two points and Ulsh added another by hitting a free rthrowg but Clharley Myers and Ron- nie Bumgarner each hit a field goal to tie the score at 44 all and put it ino overtime. Jack Cruise of Hogan hit first in the overtime, but Charley Myers hit 18 seconds later to tie the score again. With 56 seconds remaining the Rams went ahead again on a free throw by Ulsh, and again the Bengals came back and grabbed another lead, this time on a field goal by Dan Hudgins. This gave the Tigers a large enough margin to clinch the game. huilhii SP9 .R i Mu: MILLER Jay Bucher gave Westport great representation along the individual scoring lines. Jay grabbed second place in all game scoring and third in league scoring. He was beaten by Ed Maxwell of Northeast in the all game scoring, although his total of 26 was only one less than Maxwell's and his average of 14.1 was only 1 f 10 less than Maxwell's 14.2. Doug Car- lander of Paseo won the league scor- ing 'title with a total of 178 poinits and an average of 18.8 per game. Maxwell was second, but lhis total was only two points more and his average was only 2f10 more. Westport was well represented in the all game totals, having four more on the list. They were Charley My- ers, Dan Hudgins, Ronnie Bumgarn- er, and Frank Gonzales. Many people didn't stay to see Lincoln play Pem Day immediately after our game with Rockhurst Fri- day night. It was a very close game all the way, but -the Blue Tigelrs came out ahead and won the Regionals. Just before the half ended Jerome Gilbert, one of Lincoln's heroes, was cut badly on the face while chasing the ball. All hope seemed gone for the Tigers, but the cut was patched up and he came back into the game late in the third quarter, wearing a bandage, and helped his team to victory. Twhree days later, March 9, the Tigers were defeated by Raytown and thus lost their chance to go to state. The prizes for the regionals were given after the final game. Fourth place Rockhurst was given the ball and the other three teams received trophies. Our trophy will later be engraved with the names of the play ers, the coaches, and the managers.

The top senior in grade average is Irvin Jen- nings. His comment on the honor is that it came after four years of hard work. Irvin has excelled in a-- cademic activities all four years at Westport, but academics are not his only talents. He has also lettered in both football and basketball. In keeping with a Westport tradition, Irvin will make the farewell address at commencement. Salutorian of the class is Larry Sluss. Larry's grade average is sec- ond in a class of 237. Also in the top ten are Carol Shibley, Rodney Thompson, Larry Seale, Katie Fauble, Sandra Shrout, Hannah Tague, Carol Shipley and Jon Howell. Gold Pins Announced At the same time the top ten were announced, the thirty-four seniors, who are to receive the Gold Pin in Westport's Honor Society, were notified. Each year, the Senior class is rat- ed according to a grade average of four years. The ratings show the re- lative placement of the individual in his class. As this year's valedic- torian stated, a high rating is the re- ward for four years of hard work.

This is not what we consider an outstanding style in verse but it is one of the slogans of the National Safety Council and We believe the moral be- hind it is very true. Spring is here and everyone is having the urge to get out now. This means the streets are becoming more and more crowded with drivers. As a driver you must become aware of the situation and watch the guy behindg the guy in front of you, and the guys coming on both sides. It is always a shock to read about a friend who was injured or killed while driving in a careless manner. It is always heart-breaking to walk into class, sit 'down, and look across the aisle at the empty seat of a good friend, injured or kill-ed, while riding in a car. That smiling face and power house of energy is missing from the lunch line. If that student had only been more careful while driving, well . . . ! Don't forget the responsibility you have while driving and riding in a car. Don't ever cause an accident for it may cause a death which will be on your conscience the rest of your life.

FOR THE BEST IN MUSICAL I INSTRUCTION .AND REPAIR olluyggn, MUSIC 4318 Main Street Kansas City 11. Missouri VAlentine 1-7777 BOB LUYBEN PAGE THREE SEHUUL IMPRIIVEMENT NEEDED Library, band room, athletic field, press room and the art department were the topics of the past five articles on school improvement. In this is- sue a review is in order so that one can see the entire problem. Our school library is lacking in funds for new books. Volumes are old and outdated for a school the size of Westport. It cannot and shouldn't be expected that a student receive the full ben-efit from a library under these conditions. WZesport's athletic field has been promised to Westport since 1936. Where is it? When comparing the problems with the remaining three areasg th-e band room, the press room, and the art department, it is found that there is one common problem-SPACE. The band and orchestra cannot rehearse in this room. 'They can store only a limited number of instruments. The press room is a press room only in the fact that it is pressed for space. All those who wish to take art cannot be accepted for the art depart- men is too small. Only a very limited course of study can be taken by those who are lucky enough to get into class. We have heard only one comment on the series by a faculty member and no comment from a member of the student body. These problems are real and will be difficult to solve. These problems exist. These problems will not be solved until the administration, the faculty, the stud-ent council and student body and the parents decide that the problems be solved. Investigate the situation, present a plan for improvements and solve the problem. Real and difficult, true! Can they be solved? Yes. DE MOLAY by J im Powell Forty years ago this April lst, the Order of DeMolay was founded in Kansas City with nine members. To- day, DeMolay has nearly three mil- lion members in the U. S. and four- teen foreign countries. What is DeMolay? It is a young men's fraternity sponsored by ma- sonic groups. Although its members are mostly high school students, it is not considered a high school frater- nity. The state of Oklahoma specifies this fact in its constitution concern- ing high school fraternities. At one time, Mother Chapter Cso named because it was the first chapterl had three thousand mem- bers in Kansas City. Mother Chapter is one of the few chapters in three internationally movements that can boast of its own building which is lo- cated at 43rd and Prospect. Many famous men were DeMolays at one time or another. At the pres- ent, there are 167 congressmen and 5 senators who w-ere members. Gov- are just two of the many governors who were DeMolays, also. Walt Dis- ney was a member of the Mother Chapter when he attended Central High. DeMolay offers many activities to its members such as: bowling, rifle teams, basketball, dances, swim par- ties. The Chapter's next formal dance will be held in the Grand Ball- room of the Muelbach Hotel and is free to its members.

Ap- proximately 200 couples attended and were entertained by the theme of Blue Heaven. They danced to the Eliott-Livengood band. The dance was held at the Little Theater, March 21st, from 8:30-11:30 p. In. The highlight of the dance was the cornation of the queens and beau brummels. They were introduced by Mr. Fisk Miles and walked separate- ly to the throne and were crowned by the club presidents. Leading off was Pundit's queen, Marilyn Boone escorted by John Blessing. Marilyn was wearing a simple soft pink, lavender, and white dress with short white gloves. Second came Wilson's queen, Rita Alley, escorted by Don Osbornfliita was wearing a pink floor length for- mal with long white gloves. Sandy Williams and Pat Hill were next representing Browning. Sandy wore a black sheath formal with long black gloves. After Browning came Dana whose queen was Mary Jo Williams, and the beau brummel was Rodney Thompson.

I presented gifts and then led off a dance after which the other couples joined in. iger wodome Carol Shihley 8: Gerald Schlaiter While walking down the hall one day I was attracted by a strange odor. Hark! Hark! It is coming from the Chemistry lab. I shall go in and see what is happening. And what do my wondering eyes see? Dr. Carol Shibley, doctor, because she became a psychiatrist at Middlebury College in Vermont. ln past years, while at- tending Westport, she thiad been Sec- retary and Parliamentarian of Pro- methean, President of the French Club at Junior College, a holder of a gold pin with three pearls in the Westport honor society and a mem- ber of the executive board of the student council. When not doing research in the lab or on the Psychiatrist's couch she likes to listen to swing jazz an'd clas- sical music. With my other eye I see Professor Gerald Schlatter, graduate of Rice. He majored in electrical engineering which is exactly what all his school friends thought he would do since in his old Westport .fdays he was an amateur radio operator operating under the license of KOHPR. HEHLI P LL Wlhen a poll was taken recenty at Westport about the Berlin Crisis, the results were amazing! It is impossible for this reporter to see how so many could be so lethargic, indifferent, and unconcerned about such an important issue as this. News about Berlin has been on the front pages of the news- papers, covered in all the national news magazines and on the lips of radio and television commentators for weeks, yet there are many high school students who have no idea of its importance to their country and themselves. In a psychology class only 3671 had even a faint knowledge as to what the Berlin Crisis is, while only 13? knew exactly what the situation is. In a World History class the percentage was higher with 82.5W in the first category and 3070 capable of 'discussing the problem. There is no reason why everyone shouldn't know about it! This is a point in history which could be very decisive and could easily change the future of everyone in school now. For those who don't know, and are interested in learning, the following is a summary of the Berlin Crisis. Khruschev wants to make West Berlin a free city. The other half, which was turned over to Soviet occupation after World War II, has already been incorporated into Communist East Germany. He wants no change there! The Russians want to make West Berlin a demilitarized zone with its own government running its affairs, with allegiance to neither East nor West. First, Khruschev in a subtle way demanded all Western Troops to leave the city, but now he is willing to move Soviet troops in. This would be a free city? The Russian leaders also state that they would place enough orders for manufactured goods in West Berlin and sell it enough foodstuffs and raw materials to keep it alive. In other words, they wish to make Berlin wholly dependent on the Soviet Union. Why? Here are some of the reasons Russia wishes to free Berlin. C15 The Berlin escape route for those who wish to flee communism would be closed. C25 Berlin would become dependant on the Soviet Union. C33 The United States and her allies would be forced to recognize the East German government an'd the fact that Germany is divided forever, just as Khruschev wants it. C45 And most important of all-the symbol of a free city and the obli- gations the free world has assumed would be ended. Another victory for the East and defeat for the West. The Western powers plan to stand firm in West Berlin. They will not retreat or allow Soviet troops to move in. The mayor of West Berlin, Willy Brandt, had this to say about the situation: The Communist mean a city free of Americans and other Western troops, a city free from connections with West Germany, a city, so to speak, free of freedom. ' l3oesn't this problem seem important enough for you to at least under- stan ? TIEEH DEN DREAM GIRL CANDIDATVES CLASS TALENT Who were the lucky five? They were Pat Gilchrist, Terry Johnson, Louella Johnson, Carol Ruf and Vickie Rehkop. By the lucky five we mean the Dream Girl candidates. They were chosen at Tiger Den, Fri- day, March 20. Each student voted as they came in and from the ballots, one of the five will be chosen as Dream Girl. Also taking place at Tiger Den was the Class Talent. Each class was responsible for one act. Representing the freshmen were Phyllis Fry, Mary Lou Cina, Julie Glasener, Judy Pet- erson, Carol Guddee, Judy Cunning- ham, and Becky Brunetti. These girls di'd a dance to Ramble, The sophomores presented a skit consisting of Sherry Morgan, Mer- rily Fine, Diane Gooch, Janice Carl- son, and Gayle Hasal. The juniors also were represented by a group of girls doing a modern dance. Those included were Carol Ruf, Pat Gilchrist, Linda Nicks, Pat Weber and Carol Larson. The accom- paniment was Night Train. The seniors were well represented by Dave Izzard and his Band. After playing for the class talent, they continued the rest of the evening for the enjoyment of the students.

Shoulders have lost their padding and gone natural, suit and sports coats are shorter and have a modified version of the rounded front. Blazers are tops all over the country, with stripes predominant. There is the widest range of mater- ials ever, from traditional flannels to test fibers. From the evidence a- vailable, neckwear is going bol'd,fwith paisleys, geometries, and batiks with plenty of color showing fthrough. The wraps are off the spring's new collections. From the fashion cent- ers comes the good news that there's nothing drastic in the offing . . . no new look, no chemise look . . . just the good old natural look. Take heart boys, girls are going to be girls again, boxy jackets will be worn with notch collars, complimented bg' skirts, slim or pleated. Almost all the new dresses are sleeveless. Get out those old Chemises, cut off the sleeves, buy a wide suede or leather belt, and there you are-the 1959 look for spring and summer. To sum it up: Skirts are slightly longer than just-below-the-knee, earrings were absent from the collectiong hair is upswept from the back of the neck. Girls will be almost human this year. nual Easter Assembly with Claude Meads, class president, as Master of Ceremonies. The 8th Grade Orches- tra played Hymn Medley directed by Mr. Duane Miller.

WE'LL BE LOOKING Fon You THE WESTPORT CRIER .Y MIKE MILLER I thought it would be interesting to publish 'a few 'statistics of the boys who will be vying for the next year's varsity basketball team. Dan Hudgins hit 137 points with a 7.2 point average per -game. Doug Cox and Gary Gillihan each had an av- era-ge of 2.9 per game, with Gary lhitting a total of 61 sand Doug 50. Ronnie Kelley and Ford Fredrick- son will also be fighting for a place on the team. S i There will also be a number of the fellows wfho played on the B Team going after a place on the varsi-ty. J. R. Hursman 1-ed the scoring with 199 total and an aver- age of 13.3 points a game. He was also top man in it-he rebound de- partment, pullin-g down 99. Another top rebfounider, an-d only a sopho- more, was Steve Hi-nde, wfho grab- bed off 92. Second man in scoring was Jirn Gurley, with a total of 122 and an average of 9.3 Floyd Nails had a total of 90 points and Bill Bradford hit 78. Judging by these records the conipetion for next year's team will be very rough.. This year's track team will be adorned in new -sweat clothes. Be- cause last year-'s suits had worn out, Mr. Ross purchased 30 new ones. The pants will be 'ordinary gray, while the shirts will be a bright yellow. 'Ifhe track managers this year are St-eve Barfield and Bill Scott. Westport has tw-o boys wiho have gotten around quite a bit in the Golden Gloves tournament. Walter Allen, a very short Freshman, won the finals in Kansas City, Kansas, and went fall the way to the finals in Kansas City, Missouri. He won a brightly -colored jacket CI'-m sure 'he'd be glad to show it to youj for the Kansas finals and a trophy and a medal here in Missouri. Wal- TRACK The track season has arrived and the Tigers are busy preparing themselves to comfpete with the other schools. 'Dhis year the team is in the hands of ltfrr. Bill Ross, who so successrfully coached the Freshman football team. and the Second Team basketball team. Dur- ing the cold weather the fellows worked out on the track in the gym. Now that the weather has warmed up they are moving outdoors to Gillham field or to the track fat K.C.U. As this issue goes to press the team is kept busy working on individual skills, such as the 'dash men practice stants and sprinting, the distance men work on endur- ance, and ithose competing in field events work on building up leg and arm muscles. They are also hav- in-g a great many time trials to en- able Mr. Ross to choose the fastest boys to compete in the meets. The Varsity consists of: Phil Myles, John Burkle, Gene Burns, James Lightner, Jerry Crouthers, Mike Jones, Bervin Fisher, Carl Hursman,, Don Welsh, Gary Bilyeu, George Cabrera, Ford Fredrickson, Dan Hud-gins, Dick Parmely, Bob Jennings, Bill Bradford, George Marsh, Jan Underwood, Bill Cole and James Pearsh.

The winner of the interpretive reading contest was James Hake, and Sandy Kiesel was awarded first place in the oration division. Both students were presented trophies by Dr. Richard A. Ball. Tfhe eight contestants represent the very active role the Speech Arts Club has played in the life of West- port since its organization. Ardeena Smith has been active since her freshman year in the dramatic and speech department, having had fea- tured roles in several productions, among which was Maria in last year's production of Twelfth Night . Peggy Osterstrom was last semest- er's President of the organization and served as co-ordinator for the many aspects of the Mardi Gras' talent show. Billie Matthews is a re- cent transfer student and has con- tributed to the many club programs.

Missouri Aipi-ii 23, 1959 FIIIWOR for a DIN Ilew 3-Part Program Monday, March 30, the fifteenth annual High School City Hall Day was observed. This year, in order to broaden and intensify the educa- tional values of the 'day, a new for- mat was adopted. The operations of the city were divided into three ma- jor categories-staff and policy functions, services for people and services related to physical improve- ments. Representing Westport were George Cabrera, Pat Hill, Larry Holland, George Marsh, Phil Myles and Peggy Osterstrom. At 8:30 a. m. the high school re- presentatives assembled in the coun- cil chamber on the 26th floor of City Hall. A brief greeting was given by the president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, James Barickman. Superintendent of the Kansas City Public Schools, James A. Hazlett, then spoke about the importance of the day and how it could be of value to the student representatives. Since Mayor H. Roe Bartle was unable to attend because of a con- flict in his schedule, the city manag- er, L. P. Cookingham, continued at this time and presented his speech entitled The City and You. At 9:30 a. m. the group separated into the three seminars to study more closely each division. There were approximately twenty-five students in each seminar. Each stu- dent received a specially made up notebook which gave a program of the day and explained each working of the city hall. The noon luncheon was served at the Pickwick Hotel with the Junior Chamber representatives. Each stu- honored in February as the Rex of Mardi Gras for his many activities.

The afternoon program was divid- ed into two parts. A staff meeting was hel'd with the city manager where he attempted to answer as many questions as possible and at 3:00 p. m. each student Went with his counterpart to visit his indivi- dual office and see other points of interest around City Hall. The representatvies left tired, but with a much greater knowledge of the complexities of the workings of City Hall and the city government. gmforia There are smiles that make you happy, there are smiles that make you blue , this familiar phrase from the well known song has a great deal of philosophy behind it. Don't you know individuals who can smile at you and make you feel like a million dollars? Then there are individuals who smile at you and in their own sarcastic way make you feel like crawling in a hole and staying there! There is one certain thing about a smile, a real smile, that is. If you do smile at someone you are almost always sure of re- ceiving a smile in return. If you carry this quality further and smile at someone you don't especially care for or might even dislike-you may soon find your differences forgotten and fhave a new friend. Of oouse, a fake smile is worse than no smile at all, because one realizes that it is just a front and then he or she may believe you are insincere, which could be very true. Try smiling at everyone today and see how much better it makes you feel and who knows . . . maybe you'll make the day happier for someone else. crilafure God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

THE WESTPORT CRIER 'Pls Extra Criers The question of what becomes of the Criers that aren't distributed to the students has been asked many times. They are mailed to individ- uals and schools on our exchange- mailing list. This process is a form of exchange in which we send the Crier and receive other school pap- ers. These papers are then put on display in the Crier room for use of staff members. The Crier has on its mailing list forty-nine high schools which in- cludes in addition to all the public, private and parochial school in the greater Kansas City area, schools in California, Illinois, Iowa and New Jersey. Some of the indivduals who re- ceive the Criers are Mr. Holloway, former Westport faculty and stu- dents, members of the Board of Edu- cation and the outstanding schools of journalism. As you can see the Crier is widely distributed and we hope widely read.

The most popular book with teenagers in the last six months was The Diary of Anne Frank. Runners-up included Gone with the Wind, Dr. Zhivago. Crime and Punishment, The Old Man and the Sea. The Scarlet Let- ter. and David Copperfield. West- port students were interviewed on this topic by the Gilbert representa- tives from the Crier staff. Trade Fair Suzanne Reed, Westport Junior, reports that the first Trade Fair arranged through the co-operation of the Country Club Plaza association and the Junior Achievement Organi- zation was a great success.

This is important news for Westport students, not only because it is one of the textbooks used in the science department, but because Mr. M. H. Shearer of the Westport faculty is the co-author of the textbook and sole author of the laboratory manual that accom- panies the text. The Earth and its Resources has been described as a pacemaker in the field of earth science, reflecting the newest developments in various phases of science. It is one of the first books to take full advantage of the new knowledge of the earth's atmosphere. More than 450 maps, diagrams, and photographs, and 15 pages of full-color maps illustrate the text material and aid the student in visualizing the phenomena of the physical environment. Earth Science includes a study of mathematical geography, navigation, meteorology, clinrate, elementary geology, oceans, and natural re- sources. Fellow authors are Vennor C. Finch, Professor Emeritus, Univer- sity of Wisconsin, and Glenn T. Tre- wartha, Professor Geography, Uni- versity of Wisconsin. Mr. Shearer has long been re- cognized as an authority in his field, and in addition to his teaching and auithorship activities, has served as the inspiration for many prominent men and women in science today. The National Council of Teachers of English are sponsoring a contest to discover the Best Writer in the Junior Year of high school. Each school was allowed repre- sentatives based on a ratio of stu- dents enrolled in grades ten through twelve. On this basis Westport was allowed two Juniors. Teachers of English 5-6 submitted a list of their best writers to Miss Stella Maddox, chairman of the English department. Fifteen names were sent in and these students were asked to write an impromtu essay which was judged by a West- port teacher who did not have any of the contestants as a pupil. The two winners were Mary Jo Murray and James Hake. Their names have now been sent to the Council and are entered in the state contest. If they are selected by the state committee, their essays will go to a national committee which will select the national winners.

These contestants and their fellow members are one reason why the Speech Arts Club has the distinction of being not only the oldest school organization at Westport but also one of the most active.

On Saturday, April 4, Carole Ruf was chosen Dream Girl. The stu- dents voted for one of the five can- didates-Pat Gilchrist, Terre John- son, Louella Johnson, Vicky Rehkop and 'Carole Ruf - as they entered Tiger Den. At 8:45 the votes were tallied and the winner determined. At 9:30 the five candidates lined up with their escorts ready to walk to the throne. Before the candidates were intro- duced, last year's Dream Girl, Rita Alley in a black formal was intro- duced. She Was escorted by Mr. Her- man Davis. Leading off the procession was Pat Gilchrist escorted by Bruce Linen- felter. Pat was wearing a blue for- mal. Terry Johnson in a pink gown was next escorted by Jay Bucher. After Terry came Louella Johnson with her escort, Pat Halloran. Her dress was a :pink formal. Vicky Rehkop escorted by Don Osborn wore a white formal. Then, it was no longer a secret! Carole Ruf, Dream Girl, was intro- duced and escorted to the throne by Jim Gurley. :Carole had on a yel- low floor length formal. Rita Alley presented the new queen with her crown and Mr. Arthur Miller pre- sented her with one dozen red roses. The royalty dance concluded the reign of Rita and was the first of- ficial act of the new Queen.

Our article opens outside of the Big Top. The barker is addressing a tremendous crowd of people. If we observe closely, we may be able to hear what he is saying. Step right up, Ladies and Gentle- men. You are about to see, for the first time on our stage, our own 'Little Round Lady' and 'Slim Pick- ens'. Here they come now and we must say that the Little Round Lady is certainly a little round and Slim is rather lean. It would be a fine idea to interview these two, or so it seems to this circus fan. The Little Round Lady , whose real name is Alice Eisenhower, is more than willing. She was Senior Critic of Pundit Literary Society, wore the BIG O for Pep club, was a member of Speech Arts, Radio Club, Crier and Herald Staffs. Comedianne on the Senior Ballot was another honor, and we can see why, as she is always laughing. She has been an office assistant, participated in as- semblies, talent show, and T.V., been a member of Student Council and is rated an all around swell person. You wouldn't think she'd have many dislikes, but there are a few- People who look like the Devil, Chow Mein, unhappy people, Demo- crats and DIETS. Her likes are people, pizza, bongos, jazz, Banana Splits and cowboys. Her pastimes are fwhen not making people laughy eating, going to ball games, playing bongos, listening to Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald. She plans to at- PAGE FOUR lend Junior College and then join the Federal Civil Service and apply for a European position. Now for Slim Pickens , his real name is Phil Patterson, and you should see him! He is at least 10 feet tall, well, almost. Phil transfer- red from Center where he played B Team and Varsity Basketball, he continued to play for Westport and lettered this year. He is a member of the Gentlemen , and a Student Council Representative. Slim has participated in assemblies and Tele- vision Broadcasts. Last year he was on the Crier staff. His one big ac- complishment was that he got a hair cut last week. Slim has decided to sit down and for him it's a five minute operation. He likes people who are themselves, in fact he just likes people in gen- eral, especially Blondes. Teachers who treat students as individuals, sharp clothes, Capris, and a certain Blue Chevy are on his list. Dislikes are few, just, little women, selfish people, self-centered people and low ceilinged basements. His pastimes in- clude tennis, swimming, fishing, driving, reading very modern litera- ture, especially by Jack Kerouac, and listening to Count Basie. He plans to attend Junior College or U.C.L.A. Question of this issue: What 'do you think should be done about the County Jail Problem in Kansas City? Alice- I think they should com- pletely rebuild the jail, have a clean sweep of it all. Better sup- ervision and more constructive activities for the prisoners. Phil- I think something should be done and now.

WHY BE ABSENT? H-ave you ever thought how much trouble you cause when you are ab- sent? First, your first hour teacher has to fill out an absence report and put it on a clip outside the door. Then, students from study hall pick them up and deliver them to the of- fice. After they are received in the of- fice, they must be separated-boys and girls. Then they must be al- phabetized. After they are alpha- betized, they must be typed on a list with a carbon-one for Mrs. Sloan and one for Miss Porter. After the list is typed, an office assistant must -then mark the 'absence on your per- manent attendance record. Then Mrs. Sloan starts her long, daily routine of calling and checking the absences. But, as far as the office, your ab- sence has not yet been taken care of. The day after you come back from your absence, you must get an ex- cuse card from your first hour class and have the trouble of carrying a around to all of your classes during the day. Then, your seventh hour teacher turns the card into the of- fice and ,then the routine starts all over again-alphabetizing and mark- ing the attendance records. So, now I ask you, Why be ab- sent?

From the advance information it would appear to this reporter that he has accomplished the job. The dance will be held in the Girl's gym from 7:30-11:00 p. rn. Rc- frseshments will consist of tea cakes, South Pacific Punch and creme 'de mints candies. Music will be pro- vided by a number of records and the chaperon duties will be divided between the Tiger Den committee and th 8th grade class sponsor. A King and Queen have been chosen from the following candi- dates: Vickie Sanders, Linda Lloyd, Sharon Lathem, Sharon Davis, Rosa- lie Cowdrey, Jean Squires, Laury McNally, Linda Erickson, Janet Tadamacher and Lexie Parscale. The monarch was selected from Claude M. Meads, Gary Hursman, Mike Quinn, Bob Ruf, David Dilly, Eugene Baits, Bob Bennon, Casey Mathers and Bert McLain. The Queen will receive a bouquet of red roses and will be crowned by last years Queen, Stephanie Brooks. The King, minus the roses, will re- ceive his crown from last year's class president, Don Shilling.

The exhibit will be on the third floor of the Jones Store Com- pany, 12th and Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri. Outstanding projects from the Westport High School general shop woodworking, drafti-ng, and metal shops will be exhibited. Industrial arts stu-dents are de- veloping skills in the use of tools and machines, as well as industrial and social techniques. All academic branches in the school curriculum dents preparing for a degree in engi- neering are advised to have a mini- mum of two years of shop work. Those not planning to attend col- lege are encouraged to take the courses for industrial knowledge. The current surplus in workers indi- cates that the skilled worker has a much better opportunity to obtain a job than his unskilled contempor- ary. At Westport, the student has four such shops: metalg wood, drafting, and general shop. The department has an excellent staff of qualified in- structors.

The thirteen girls were Diana Bentley, Merrily Fine, Pat Gilchrist, Mary Gunter, Luella Johnson, Ker- ry Kregar, Mary LaMont, Carol Lar- son, Annette Luyben, Karen Nor- folk, Joan Pennington, Cathie Port- er, and Carol South. Because of the small number of girls trying out, no try-outs were held in front of Pep Club. This is due to the fact that the Pep Club rules are being enforced more strict- ly, and only those in good standing in the Pep Club are eligible to try out. After the assembly, the students voted in their home-rooms for six of these thirteen girls. The six re- ceiving the highest number of votes Wil be the varsity cheerleaders for next year.

With crashing branches and snapping twigs, The ghosts were dancing silly jigs. Each single tree was reaching for him To do some kind of harm to him. Their roots reached out to grab his legs, To stake him down with heavy pegs. In the woods the following day, The boy was walking near the hay. He looked through the hedge and saw the t That he had seen in the cool night breeze. He laughed to himself, wondering why he Had been afraid of the scrawny tree. He saw a bird that gave it love, As well as she did the sky above. Then she began to build a nest, And the boy lay down by the hay to rest. fee In the woods, in his dream, He heard a shrill, far distant scream. It was the bird, so blue, so small, That was in the tree, so weird, so tall. The bird was very much afraid That this was going to be a raid, With ghosts and goblin's dancing 'round, Making many a ghostly sound. The boy looked on, amazed indeed, Fearing the goblins would succeed. In the woo'ds when the boy awoke, He looked at once toward the twisted oak. The bird was safe and sound, it seemed, For she was singing as she beamed. The boy stood 'round the bird and nest And promised he would do his best To help the bird and family, In that twisted old oak tree. For the bird was happy as was he, To be near the scrawny tree.

This year, as in previous years, the student body has done a wonderful job of supporting the football and basketball teams. But in past years the track team has received hardly any tif any at allj support. The track boys are just like all other athletes in that a little cheering is a boost. The team member might be able to run just a little faster, jump just a little higher, or throw a heavy object just a little farther if he has the added incentive of familiar voices urging him toward victory. The track season extends on into the last of May. We have both day and night meets. PAGE EIGHT he Hivaipnrt Qlrirr V01. 47, Ng, 14 Kansas City.

This year's second annual honor assembly, held on Wednesday, April 15, proved this fact to be even more itrue, as many hard-working students accepted the much coveted pins of the society. Bronze and silver pins were given to stu- dents and additional honors were extended Ito the seniors for their four years of hard work, the gold pins. One, two, or three pearls, depending on the ability of the individual. This assemlbly was very special for each person, on stage, and off. It once more showed that Westport Tigers hold not only ability on the football fiel-d, or basketball court, but in the classroom as well. The distinguished speaker was Mr. Howard N. Monnett, Assistant Dean of the Kansas City, Missouri Junior College. Mlr. Monnett gave a very inspiring speech, and unlike so many, gave examples that could relate to each person individually.

The first and most im- portant undertaking of the council was the drive to secure another foreign exchange student for the next school year. Two sock-hops, a jazz concert, and a speech arts show were sponsored by the student council as a means to secure a part of the seven hun- dred dollars needed to bring to the class of 1960 another interesting, brillant, and talented student from another country. The admission price was twenty-five cents for a total of about 5210. Rodney Thomp- son, secretary of the student council, was in charge of the stock sold in homerooms' and in the front hall be- fore, during. and after school for many weeks. These stocks could be purchased by any Westport student for fifty cents. Help was obtained from the P.T.A. and the Thirty- ninth Street Business Association. ln all the student council raised enough money to bring another foreign exchange student from some- place in Europe. The annual homecoming, held at Westport every Christmas, was also sponsore'd by the student council. This time Ann Reuckert was the member of the executive board in charge of the festivities.

This meant the closing ofa door of their life, a new re- sponsibility, a new way of living, and a new door to open. This new form of life was at first hard and frightening to the mighty Seniors' of the future. But by keeping a stiff upper lip almost all 'those who started are now cli- maxing five years of study with flying colors and a satisfying knowledge that each has done his best. Many changes have taken place in that five years. Changes, however, always for the better. New interests have been started. New friends have been made. Each day of that period of time each one has prepared himself for the day when he will march in cap and gown with the graduation march, and to participate in Senior day and the Senior assembly. He has waited for the Pr-om that is dedicated to him. He has prepared himself also for a home of the future, a job of the future. He has planned ahead looking al- ways to the future, that sometime when all his dreams and goals will have been reached. He has prepared himself for a life of his own where he will be his own lord and master. When, however, this time comes for the Senior to say good-bye to all his friends, a joy mixed with sa'dness fills his heart. Another door of life is clos- ing and there is a new one just ahead. For m-any the opening of the door will bring a college education or a steady job. But for all Seniors the opening of the door will bring new opportunities, new programs and new responsi- bilities. These new unknowns of the future scare him and challenge him. The cruel world is staring very Senior in the face. The look is not pleasant but it must be challenged. It will be challenged. For the Senior is young in spirit and slow to accept defeat. He is full of ideas and energy. And with God's help he will strive on to make this world a better place to live for himself and for other people. 'Quofa fiom. The eyes of the world are upon you.

CHEERLEIIDERS cuosen On Wednesday, April 22, two juniors and four sophomores were chosen to be the 1959-60 Varsity Cheerleaders. The girls will go to Cheerleader's College in Norman, Oklahoma, this summer. The money to sen'd the cheerleaders to college was raised by the Pep Club. The six girls are as follows. Diana Bentley, a sophomore, is a member of Pundit Literary Society. She was chosen to the Executive Board of Student Council last year. Diana also takes a very active part in Pep Club and La Danse Modern. A junior, Pat Gilchrist, has been a B Team Cheerleader. Pat was a Dream Girl Attendant this year. She holds offices in two clubs in which she is very active-secretary of Pep Club and Junior Critic of Pomethean Literary Society. Another junior, Mary Gunter, was also a B Team Cheerleader. The office of Vice-President is well suit- ed to Mary as she holds this positi-on in Pundit Literary Society and was past Vice-President of Pep Club. She is also a member of the Honor So- ciety. Mary LaMont, a sophomore, is an active member of Promethean Lit- erary Society. She also tak-es part in the modern dance club, La Danse Modern, and she is a member of Pep Club.

Sz State Line LO 1-0346 ' PAGE THREE THE WESTPOHT CRIER ATTEND THE I WEATHER High in Mia zari-1 MAY A 80's Senior Porphesy by Rita Alley and Joanne Calowell Since our recent jobs non a large New York newspap- er, we have come in contact with many of our fellow graduates of 1959. It is now Tuesday, June 2, 1984, and we will try to give you a glimpse of what we've seen through the years. First, working right along with us on the same news paper is Linda. Fields. who is the Love-Lorn columnist. Our sports editor, Mike Miller, has just written a feature story on the retiring pitcher-catcher team of the New York Yankees-Ronnie Bumgarner, pitcher and Jay Bucher, catcher. r The society columns' are filled with news of New Yorkis latest society bell, Miss Constance Raydene Mor- gan. Mary Kay Hammarirom is now married to a rich Arabian Prince who has three other wives. They have proved to be too much of a problem so she is under the care of one of New York's leading psychiatrists, Karen Bentley. Bonnie Cady. New York's leading dress' designer, is now designing a charming creation fo Connie Johnson, a French maid. ' The latest issue of the paper has just been laid on our desk and we were glad to see that Jo Ellen Spellman has just been elected to the presidency of a famous wom- en's club. Also in the same issue we see that Peter Lorre's suc cessor, Bruce Lingenfelier is now touring New York. We see that Rodney Thompson is really living up to Most Likely To Succeed on the Senior Ballot. He is a hobo. Before leaving on our trip to Kansas City, Denyse Githens, -a noted party giver, gave us a fabulous going a- way party. On the same plane with us was none other than Dave Izzard and his famous Jazz Band. Vlfhile on the plane we were s'erved a delicious piece of cake made from a cake mix invented by Barbara Combs. As the cooks were preparing the cake, the electric mixer went out of order and was repaired by an expert mechanic, Bob Alexander. 'Coming to K-ansas City with us was Helen Taylor. iger woaome WELL SURE, those are the famous last words of little Miss Iodine, usually known as Myra Wlood, this little carrot top is Sgt-of- Arms of Pundit Literary Society, Student Council Representative, Pep Club, and a member of the Crier Staff. She is also President of an Unknown Organization, but that's' a secret. She really likes a boy named Lor- en, and having a good time, like Parties, and people who don't mind doing favors for you, and don't feel obligated. She has a few dislikes, but not many such as, people who think they are better than anyone else, liars, people who think you like them only bcause they can do some- thing for you, and people wi-th ex- cessive habits. Her pastimes are TALKING, ten- nis, causing trouble, and listening to Count Basie, While doing this you can usually see her eating onion rings, and Pizza CAmerican Styleb. After graduating Little Iodine alias Carrot Top, plans to go to Jun- ior College or get a good job. HSCREE BE DO DREE BOP A WOODLE DEE BOW! , those are the famous' last notes from Mr. Music Man himself usually known as Dave Izzard. This guy with the Golden Horn, has a gold pin in the Honor Society, and is a member of Browning Literary Society and he has his own Dance Band. He has also won three first place ribbons at Q Y 1 . . one for a solo on the trumpet. And of course he has been Student Coun- cil Representative, 'ahd edi'tor-6n- chief of the Crier Staff. He really blows his horn for a certain girl, and goes all out for JAZZ, he loves to blow up a storm while playing for dances. Among his many likes are looking for things in people such as intelligence, mutual interests and a sense of humor and understanding. Scree be do bop a dee bow , yes listening to Count Basie is always' among the favorite things he likes to do, besides talking on the phone to a certain girl, and trying to solve everyone else's problems. You'll never find him listening to ROCK liz ROLL or at picnics, and doing homework. Instead of going to K. U. to blow the horn or sing Shree be do he plans to- major in Psychology and u . After church, We had a lovely dinner at the home of two devoted parents, Charlie and Sandy Myers. . On Monday we were still stuffed with the dinner so we visited the Slenderella Salon, and were surprised to see that the manager was Pai: Lumary. Finally, we arrived at Westport and weren't too sur prised to see Carol Shipley teaching English. On the faculty with her were Sandy Shrout and Phil Patterson. Sandy was the new cheerleading coach and Phil was coaching the basketball team to victory. Soon We were on our way back to New York and our thoughts turned to our high s'choo1 days and how everyone had changed.

As we -move on a shapely little Tigeress No. 5 comes into view, Miss Pat Lumary.
