The first number of The Gleam, the High School annual, was published by the Class of 1901. A number has been got out 'by each succeeding class, whose aim has been to improve on the preceding edition. We, the editors, reprgsenifatives of the'C1ass of' 1905, submit to you this volume. It is the result of the united efforts of the class- theclass has made it whatit is. ' P i I - ' Our primary aim has been to publish a book worthy of our class and of our school, We do not make the assertion that it is the best Gleam yet publishedg in many respects we realize that it is lacking. However, We say that We have Worked hard, that We have done our best. I-Iow Well we have succeeded in our Work, We leave for the reader to determine, trusting that his judgment will be fair and lenient. - i . THE GLEAM STAFF. Cable of ontents.

There was once a French abbe who had exhausted his physical energies in the regular performance of his duties. He became a very sick man-so much so, that his physician had given up all hope. Q One ,day he fainted-and thought himself already in the arms of the Good Spirit. He fancied one of the angels cameuto him and asked, How did you like the beautiful world you have just left? When consciousness returned to him the vision came along with it. He could not rid him- self of it. It occurred to him that while he had been preaching all his life about Heaven, he had seen but little of the earth in which he lived, that this old earth contained a new earth, which might be Heaven, that he needed euphrasy to purge his eyes, for he had much to see. Such abbes are not all dead, neither do they all live under that name. No one sees all the beauty of a picture, no one hears all the harmony in any piece of music. The mystery is, that so much of it is lost, for the whole earth is a fairyland-its truth not comprehended, its beauty but half seen, its good but partially realized. Those who know it best are least inclined to exchange it for otherfiworlds. Have you not read of souls that are homesick in Heaven-souls of that upper elime that wait- s To catch, perchance, some flashing glimpse of green, Or breathe some wild-wood fragrance, wafted through The opening gates of pearl, that fold between The blinding splendors and the changeless blue. -souls that cannot adjust the new songs to their quivering lips, their lyres tothe new rhapsodies. Looked at aright, the earth and all that it contains, is but one of God's thoughts, and he who knows it stands already in the presence of its Maker. Matter, mind, soul -what a mixfurc they make!

Mccov. g Most towns have a local history, but few have as great a one as Independence, the history of which begins before Missouri became, a state. From the time that the Lewis and Clark Expedition passed through this town, it has played an important part in history at different periods. Twenty years ago, it was known as the Orchard City, because of its beautiful fruit trees, and was nothing more -than an historical old-fashioned town. But since The Boom it has become modern. ' We alllove a modern city, but it seems a pity to remodel the buildings that are as old as the town. Independence has many land- marks: ' One of the most noted of 'these is the Clinton Block, which used to be the Noland House, famed throughout this region for its elegant hospitalityg and almost as noted was the old J ones Housef' which is now the Metropolitan Hotel. These have both been remodeled. Another landmark is the old Presbyterian church, on the corner of Lexington and: Osage streets, ' which was one of the first buildings erected here. Another is the old bank building,which they are now rebuilding. These are the landmarks interesting only to Inde- pendence people. , But there are others that are historicalg like the old Santa Fe Trail which is the continuance of Pleasant street, and which takes us back in memory to the old pioneer days, until we can almost I see the covered wagons that bore the builders' of a mighty nation westward. And there is an old house on Lexington street where Governor Boggs of Missouri lived, and in which an attempt at assassination was made on account of his stand against the Mormons.-' Independence was the center of the border warfare during the Civil War, and out on the Blue Springs road, there is a house, in front of which a battle was fought between the Guerillas and the Federalsf There is another place in town, that has played almost as important a part as these, and that is much more noted than either one, for the old Waggonei' homestead, before it was remodeled, was once the residence of Judge Henry, one of the Supreme Judges of Missouri, and afterwards it was the home of General Bingham, who painted several celebrated pictures-among them,f'County Election and Order No. ll. The Independence people should be proud to live in a town with so great a history, and should try to preserve these landmarks, instead of destroying and remodeling them. 1905- THE GLEAM. 47 Che Influence of nature. ANNA ROBERTS. Straight mine eye hath caught new pleasures Whilst the landskip round it measures. - Nature has influenced man ever since his creation. God created Nature first and man afterwards. Before Adam and Eve sinned, their home, the Garden of Eden, was a perfect paradise. There nothing was made by man, Nature reigned supreme. Since then, all through the ages of history up to the-present time, ' 'Nature has been one of the chief influences of human lives. When man is Weary of the cares of this world, where can he find the deepest sympathy and surest consolation? ,Bryant bids him, Go forth, under the open sky, and list To .Nature's teachings. Here God seems nearer, and man forgets his cares and thinks only of the beauty and grandeur of Nature, and the power and glory of God. Bryant says, , - To him who in love of Nature holds - A Communion withther visible forms she speaks A various language, for his gayer hours She has a voice of gladness, and a smile And eloquence of beauty, and she glides Into his darker musings with a mild And healing sympathy, that steals away - Their sharpness, ere he is aware. How many, many poets, musicans and artists have been inspired by Nature! Indeed, the 9'rosy-nngered 'morn, the glorious sunset, the trees, the flowers, the birds, the clouds, the rivers, and the mighty ocean make poets. Homer was the iirst great nature poet. His inspiration come from nature. Then coming to English poetry, we have such great nature poets as Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton and Tennyson, in American Literature, Bryant, Longfellow and Whittier. Milton has given us the most expressive and vivid natural descriptions ever written. Bryantls Thanatopsis-one of the finest poems in Amer- ican Literature-was wholly inspired by Nature. Nature seemed so divine to the ancient Greeks and Romans, that they believed nymphs inhabited every tree, river and mountain. ' We believe that one God animates them all. Nature is God's own work. Through her, He reveals His g1'eat love for us in making such a beauti- ful world for us to live in. When man is brought into such close contact with God through Nature, can he possibly lead a life which is not pure, noble and holy? Thus we see how great an influence Nature has on human lives. She comforts and inspires man and leads him to higher things. , ---s.--..1,-n-.-1:1 fra? 48 THE GLEAM. 1905' the 'fflawpickw' and we Prwaricam. l Cfhird Year Essay.l EVA V. DICKINSON. ,,,.l..1- Some years ago, almost anyone wouldhave regarded the little city oflndependence as a very quiet, peaceable town where everyone lived quite happy, and well contented with himself, if not with his neighbor. There were several good papers edited and published in the town, and everyone who could not get a copy, usually obtained the most im- portant news from Dame Gossip, a very popular and busy character of independence. A , It was not long, however, before the tranquillity of' the newspaper world was ruffled by the advent of the Flawpicker,,' which appeared rather suddenly, and at once was a source of curiosity to all, Its voice was first mingled with the clicks of a telegraph office, but finally it attained the dignity of an upstairs room, all to itself. At first, other publications looked upon it with scorn, even envy, and predicted only a very short life for the new comer, but they were very much disappointed here. The . Flawpicker thrived, it gathered strength by its original and pithy paragraphs. It took up the little affairs of the town, and, with its boldness and force, gradually moved to the front, and another thing-it was free, its valuable editorials were distributed indiscriminately to all. The 1-Tlawpickerl' had very deinite ideas and opinions, and if you could not form your own, you were welcome to accept those found in its columns, and thus you could not only elevate yourself, but increase the growing army, fight- ing for the principles of public ownershipflr The path that the 'Tlawpickern was traveling was a very smooth one with very few obstacles until one day the 'Trevaricatorl' stepped in to walk along side by .side with the i'Flawpicker, l which regarded it as an intruder. Then the tug of war began. They were too much alike to get along harmoniously-each could find the otherls- mistakes. It is the chief aim of one to outwit- the 'other-Qa source of amusement to their readers. . A The sailing at present is rather fair, and it is to be taken for granted that all of you are well acquainted with the character of each. And of course we all wish the '4Flawpicker and the Prevaricator prosperity and much happiness. ' Q-. X! Q 4 1905- THE GLEAM. 49 s Last Sermon of the Revival. C MATTIE HARDIN. The closing sermon of the Union Revival services was preached Sunday evening, February 5, 1905, at the First Presbyterian church, by Dr. Lincoln McConnell, of Georgia, who had been conducting the meetings for several days. All his sermons were very fine, indeed, and showed the remarkable deep thought power of the man g however, we do not hesitate to say that this last sermon was the best, in that, although there were many great thoughts and truths expressed, they were expressed insuch a way that even the small children understood them. , Doctor McConnell used for his text those words, recorded by Amos, which the Lord God spoke to the Israelites, 'tPrepare to Meet Thy God. He opened the sermon by a discussion of the question, Why should we prepare to meet God? First, because there is a God. To' those who read and believe the Bible, this fact is provedg but to the more unfortunate ones, it must be proved in some other way. One way is to show them that some one with superhuman strength, intellect, and power created this world of ours, and that this one still rules over it. Who could it be but God? 'In many ways he showed that there is a God. Since there is a God, we must prepare to meet Him, as he next showed that we must meet Him. He showed that we all had to meet God, whether We willed it or not. No criminal is sent to the gallows without a fair trial before a just judge, neither is a supposed criminal acquitted and freed without a just trial. In the same way no lost soul is sent into Hell, without a trial at the judgment bar of God, and no soul enters inside the pearly gates without the trial. I-Ie gave a vivid picture of the trial before the Great Judge. Those who are prepared to meet their God will stand upon His right hand, the unprepared on His left. Then shalt he say to those on His right hand, ' Come, ye blessed of My Father, I inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world, for inas- much as ye have' done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me. Unto those on His left hand he shall say, Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting ire, prepared for the Devil and his angels. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into life eternal. In a few moments Dr. McConnell had convinced nearly everyone present thatleternity depends on preparation. The next question discussed was, Since we must meet God, how shall we prepare? By studying His word, and keeping H1s Command- ments, by trusting and obeying.

Right now. Be ye always ready, for at such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh. We should prepare right now, so that when the master of the house cometh,-even at midnight, we shall be found waiting' with our torches lighted? With an earnest prayer that ' each one present should be prepared, when he should meet- his God, the sermon was ended. , - P - Dr. McConnell has a most marvelous gift of illustration. Very seldom, indeed, do we meet a ,man who has had so many- experiences of his own, and is so well acquainted with the experience of others. He uses these illustrations, just in the right place, toelinch his statements. Hisiine illustrations and vivid descriptions made his sermon, so clear and impressive that it will linger forever in the mindsg of those who heard it. A After finishing his sermon, the doctor, whom all jhad learned to love, stood upon the platform waving his handkerchief and -smiling a good-bye to all.

Early in February, Independence joyfully received the news that Dr. Willett of the Chicago University intended giving a series of lectures, at the Christian Church, on The Beginnings of Christianity. The first of these lectures was to be given Sunday night, February 5th, and the others on the five following nights. Sunday he surpassed even the highest expectations of everyone. He was a brilliant thinker and a iinished orator. His command of words was wonderful, they seemed to flow from his lips, with so little effort did they come. His voice was so musical that it held his audience in a trance, from which they were loath to be waked. The subject of this Hrst lecture was, The ,Preparation of the World for Christianity? He introduced the subject by saying, that Christ was the bridge which spans the chasm between the old world and new, the center of all history? He showed how previous history was a preparation for Christ, and how subsequent history was a reali- zation of his purpose and spirit. Then he discussed the fullness of time, or why it was the right moment for Christ to come. There were three great elementary forces, he said, that entered into this question-the Roman, the Greek and the Hebrew. He gave a very rapid sketch of the Roman Empire at that time, he showed the wonder- ful peace which invaded the earth, since the whole world was laid tran- quil at the feet of Rome, and the gates of the Temple of Janus were closed. He spoke of the union of the Empire by the great highways- how easy it was to spread Christainity. Then he showed the wonder- ful safety for Roman citizens, and as an example, he gave a beautiful picture of the rescue of Paul in the court of the Temple. Quickly he turned to the influence of Greek life, how AleXander's great conquest brought the world under Greek sway, and scattered Greek civilization abroad. And here the lecture became almost a poem, as he described the Greek language-f the finest language the world has ever pro. duced, the language of orator, poet, and philosopher, the language of culture and power. He reminded us that it was one time in all history in which a language was universally used, then he asked, Was it not something to give such a universal instrument to the church? He told how Greek philosophy had led to skepticism, how all classes of the Greeks were seeking some voice concerning the life to come. He pictured the awful condition of society, the regard in which women and children were held, and thus proved that it was time for the voice of the Galileanf' From the Greek he turned to the Hebrew. He explained how the Jew, on account of the despersion, was living in E 1 , 2 E 2 .Z n , 4 .,,,.. 'i has ii-4.44: , .V ll. f e. l l , fl' . -' A. l Y l l i t . ,, x U, , . az!

Inncronelusion, he said that the three great nations which met at the cross of Christ, represent the attributes of the full orbed Christain. The Greek represents intellectg the Hebrew, emotiong and the Roman, will. He said that the full orbed Christian must partake of these three qualities, and that he only is complete, vvho combines themall. Then he closed with a beautiful prayer that We might be full orbed'Christains, and partake of all three qualities equally. - . . ny . Opportunity. fp Master of human destinies am I!

To do justice to a task which involves writing a report for that famous play, All the Comforts of Home, requires more space than can be given to it in the Gleam. Besides having made a fortune and a name for ourselves, we have created a new epoch in high School play giving. If this short article will keep the memory of this and of '05 green in our memories, we shall feel that it is justified.

I am sure they will look back upon it as one of the most enjoyable occasions. of their lives. The person who was not delighted with that play, must indeed be hard to please, for every imaginable characteristic was portrayed with a uaturalness bound to please and amaze. The actors surpassed even oursufondest hopes. CSQ did the erowdj. Words fail- to describe. lt would be almost sacriligious to cloud the picture painted 'on the minds of the audience by any rude description which we might give. But, for those who did not see the play, we Clike Miltonj merely mean to suggest, and leave the rest to the imagination of the reader. ' This was the second time our class had made its bow before the public. It was the second time the applauding public looked upon us, and wondered that those so young could act a part so Well.'l It was the last time We made our bow as Seniors, for, when next the public sees us, it will be as graduates and not as Seniors. But surely we will be thought of again. How could we be forgotten? Will We not be looked upon, in after years,,as the pride and joy of the 'Independence High School? In a few years, perhaps some great star may be able to trace his or her dramatic career to the plays given by the Senior Class of 1905. H' If you should wish to bring a smile of pleased remembrance to the face of some one who attended the play-just ask, him, What Became of Parker? l 0, Migb!

Most mag- nificent andmarvelous conception of art and science, the only one of the infinite number of 'Senior air castles and pipe-dreams that assumed dennite shape ,through our own efforts. in It was-one of the problems of the stage manager of All The Com- forts of Home, .as to how, during the progress of the play, the atten- tion of the audience might be called to our feet, which, we assure you, vary greatly in size and shape. Footlights were the only solution that would throw any light on the subject, headlights being thrown .out because, as some said, they did not answer the purpose. But I tell you confidentially that these same persons all wore hats with elastic hat bands which were sadly stretched. Headlights would have also neces- sitated green goggles which we could not aliord. . . So four busy spirits said to themselves and to each other, We will ourselves plan and engineer this praise-worthy undertaking, and having done so, take all the credit gained by itg also the commission We might make from advertising numerous brands of shoes through the medium of light.

This brought tears to the eyes of all present. The evil spirit left, partly out of compliment to the ode addressed to it, partly because it was chased out by those who had no faith in the burst of lyric poetry spouted by the Dutchman.

Man has long been called a-builder and his character a structure. The figure is an old, old one, but not less full of meaning for all that, for beautiful thoughts are like beautiful songs-the oftener they are sung and the older they grow, the more they mean to us. And what more beautiful thought than that we are raising a structure, aye, a temple, rearing it for eternity? It is a theme of which poets never itire, because it expresses the real meaning--it is so true. And it lies' with us, the builders, what kind of temple we raise, whether it shall be beautiful, entire, and clean. This indeed is the ideal structure, this to bring nothing base to the temple. -And remembering, that, as Carlyle says, in reducing ideals to practice, great latitude of ,tolerance is needful, still we may say that the man who has not this for his motto, this expressed in some way, is a character-not worthy of-mention. And how are we to direct our lives that We may live up to thiS ideal? First we must think pure thoughts. For every thought has its place in this temple building of ours. i If We fill our memories with elevating thoughts, if we enrich our minds with noble sentiments, how can our temples but be glorified thereby? And .nothing will enable us to do this, as will the association with Nature and with pure Literature. How wonderfully rich are they in all that is elevating and inspiring! When we have reached that height that we havetrained our souls to see and to feel the beauty that lies in these, and to make them a part of our lives, there Will be no room left in our temples for the little, the ugly. A mind crowded full of beautiful, ennobling thoughts will not hold the ugly. An uglyithought there has no harmony and will not exist. And if our minds are not full of these beautiful thoughts, if we are ever inclined to harbor an impure thought, let us remember that All impressions made upon the mind are essentially indelible and imperishablef'-that whatever we allow to stay there for a moment, is there in its influence for all time. Then let us labor with this in view,4-to fill our minds with the best the world contains, to the glorifi- cation of the temples we are rearing-for eternity. And besides filling our minds with pure thoughts, we must fill our lives with lovely acts. However beautiful pure thoughts may be,1ovely acts are more so. And in this structure we are raising, lovely acts are essential if we would have a noble temple., Well may a man be judged 'he Went about doing good, We have by his acts., If we say of a man, ' p ' u paid him as high a compliment as man can wish for. And every l1ttle act of our goes, if ugly, to degrade, if noble to glorify these temples we ' ' ' ' 'Q h ll are rearing. Then shall we not ill our lives with lovely acts S, a 1 L. 1 i , , may .

CASEBOLT. 11-1- In pastoral times, that is when the world was some, few thousand years younger than now, the peoples came Closest to Nature. Then every man was either shepherd, farmer or Esherman, and, 'in his daily life, met constantly with Nature in her diiferent guises and forms. With the growthof the world came its annals and legends, which are preserved for us in the tales of the early Nature poets. And asjthe world grew still more, empires rose and fell and centers of population changed, and man, who before had been satisfied with a few simple occupations, became engaged in a great number, multiplying as his wants became more numerous. Until, in this modern day, the only link between the average man and Nature is the thoughts of our Nature Poets. Althought the modern individual may study Nature in a way, he does not .interprether in an original manner: he follows in the path of him whose interpretation 'pleases him most. A i The nations of Europe, especially the French, Italians, Swiss and I-Iungarians, are poetical, intensely so, as one would expect' from their long association with a pastoral and romantic life, and the teachings' of their world-famous poets. They naturally bear Nature a stronger love and a better appreciation, than the people of a hustling, bustling, business nation like the United Statesj They are generally of a dreamy, contemplative nature and we, of the matter of fact, business like disposi- tion, which characterizes the Anglo-Saxon the world over. ' So it is natural that the tie of Nature should influence them more than us, but it is not natural, no, it is an crime that-we should, for the sake of the almighty dollar, allow the destruction of the purest and most beautiful gifts of Nature to us. ' About four years ago, it took a mighty and strenuous effort on the part of a few Nature lovers, to save-the magniicent Palisades along the Hudson from the clutches of an army ef, avaricious contractors, who had secured a' monopoly on their granite formations. Fora few hun- dred thousand dollars, these so called men would have destroyed -the beauty of perhaps the most beautiful river we have, 'aptly called the Rhine of America. The effort of these worthy few called' the whole East to their support and they woneth-eir battle. i D Lately the newspapers were agitating the question, - whether, the Government could interfere- with theufelling of the '.'Giant Redwoods of California. Alumber corporation had got control ,of a great number of these trees and they,coolly determined to saw them into lumber. Trees that probably saw the building .of the pyramids, the overturning' of Rome, the destruction of Babylon! The matter received the President's l905. THE GLEAM . 61 attention and, since it is in his hands, we may assure ourselves that the matter is safe. Still nearer to the feelings of the people of Independence lies the ruin and destruction of our own Idlewild or Macaulay Park, as it was once named. A few years ago there probably was not, in all Jack- son county, a tract of more beautiful forest land, a nobler grove of magnihcent trees. It was truly a Titanic grove. And now, a waste of charred and rotten stumps greets our eyes. A corn patch here, another there, a half dozen shanties scattered about, add to its desecrated look. The story is the same: ruthless contractors hewed and sawed the magnihcent lords of the forest into posts and planks and pocketed their ill-gotten gains. And this is not only a' poetic, but also an economic question, for if the destruction of our forests goes on with no replenishing, we shall soon be without wood for even decorating purposes. We might well learn a lesson from the German Emperor who allows no tree to be cut down, unless another is planted. l Still, it is for all- Americans to hope that the tendency, even among hard-headed business n1en,' will change. Perhaps it is because our country is not yet ripe in age, that our feelings are not in their highest development. Yet of all the nations of the earth, ours, made the patriots efforts, should hold' Nature to her heart, as one of her best and dearest possessions. ' :r s ll K' 2 SK x xmxxwx . , 'JF I ' 'A.- -lg?

They ranged themselves on opposite sides, and then the excitement commenced. That pig skin danced around swift as the sparkle of a glancing star. It was wonderful-the way in' which those Senior boys seemed to be in a half dozen places at once. That ball seemed literally to glide away from the juniors. It plainly showed itspreference for the Seniors, it stuck with them throughout the games. The Senior boys Won, of course, both games by an overwhelming majority, and covered themselves with glory. The juniors of small regard to see, yet well skilled had but a moderate and beseeming share- - I Poor Juniors! Slowly they wended their way homeward Like a sad votarist in pal1ner's weed.

Reel Another year is passed and still the hope and dream of every boy student at the High School is not yet realized, nor does it appear to be any nearer realization than it was ten years ago. What is this hope that has been, and is still, the dream of every high school boyls heart? It is that the school would soon have an Athletic Department added to its already splendid course of study. How long this hope is to remain a mere dream, depends very largely, upon the student body itself. The Independence High Sc-hool ranks exceedingly Well with the other high schools of the state, as an educational institution, and there is no reason Why it should not have a high place in the athletic World. There has been a stronger athletic spirit manifested at the school this year than ever before, and it is to be hoped that this spirit will continue to grow until the students shall have realized their dream. v In What Way has this spirit been manifested, and What are the results of the manifestation? It was in the organization of three class basket ball teams, the Senior, Junior and Sophomore. Neither of these teams played any other schools, but they played each other several hard games, all of Which were Well played. The Seniors proved, themselves to be the champions by Winning all the games they played. They took the Juniors into camp twice, the first score being 34 to 16, and the second, 34 to 14. The Juniors had defeated the Sophomores, and for this reason the Seniors did not play them. The Seniors also defeated a team picked from the whole school by a score of 22' to 16 and thus established their claim to the championship of the school. Hubert Allen Was the star of the Senior team, and the good record of the team is largely due to his playing ability. Tvvyman and Adams also played a very fast game for the Seniors. For the juniors, Morton Chiles and Alexander McCoy were the stars, and for the Sophomores, well,-they Were all stars fshooting starsl. At all of the games the classes gave their respective teams hearty support. This was most especially true of the Junior girls, as they would not stop yelling- Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! Rix! What's the matter with old '06, Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! Ra! Old '06 is all O. K. even when their team was being defeated. The Seniors gave their team 1905. THE GLB AM. 67 excellent support in a manner similar to thisg Chi Bima! Chi Bina! Chi Bim! Bom! Bah! '05 Seniors . Rah! Rah! Rah! The result of these games was to arouse a strong class spirit, and at the same time, a friendly school spirit. It is one of those kind that always bring about results and time will show what this one will do for the High School. There is no reason why the High School cannot have an athletic department. It is a reflection upon the school that it does not have one. Of course there are some disadvantages in having such a depart- ment in a high school, but the advantages far exceed the disadvantages. The main argument against High School athletics, is that it takes the student's time and mind away from his books too much, but this state- ment is refuted by the fact that in a well regulated department, a student must have a certain average in his studies, before he can take part in the athletics. i There are a great many arguments in favor of itg but the best one is that a healthy body makes a strong mind. It also creates a strong school spirit. It makes the students feel proud of their school and take pride in going to school there. The basis of all good athletic departments is an Athletic Board This 1S what the High School needs, and it needs such a one as will take an interest in the Work Then there ought to be a well equipped gymnasium and an athletic field A good physical instructor should then be placed in charge of the gymnasium The total cost of such a department would not exceed 32 O00 per year, and possibly after the first year the expenses could be cut down to less than one thousand per year The city of Independence could well afford to support such a department as this and it isa disgrace that it does not do so Nothing the Board of Education could do would be more appreciated than would the establishment of such a department, nor would it be long before the students would show the public the advantage of 1t. . The school has received several letters from other high schools this year, wishing to arrange for base ball games, but it cannot accept them It is not from the lack of material, because there is always a large num- ber of athletes at school' it is because the boys do not receive any encouragement. If they had a little, it would bring about great results Not such encouragement, however as is given by some of our most flnterprising citizens They think 1 it is encouragement to greet the b0ys with an expression something to this effect' Get off my ground You are killing my grass get off or I ll have you pulled ' Or perhaps they will send the man who Wears the blue coat and brass buttons out to see how fast the boys can run It would sound so different, yet so fine, to hear a crowd of boys telling how the last game of foot ball was Won or lost We might hear such an expression as this That Allen b0y certainly played a hard game Saturday or perhaps on Saturday 1 . . . . 1 u n . . .

At' the present day, an author Who has a lesson to teach, or a re- form to promote, or a truth or a principle to establish, does not hope to do it through a book, unless he can make it entertaining enough to be popular. In the fact that the novel has been siezed upon, the World over, to ,fill numerous offices, is shown how naturally it is adapted to the needs of the age. , In the seventeenth century Samuel Richardson wrote! the First novel of domestic life. 'fEvery noble life, Ruskin says, leaves the fibre of it interwoven forever in the works of the world. So when the idea had been grasped of depicting men and Women, as men and women, and not as impossible dreams, it seemed sol simple, so appli- cable to all phases of life, that the amazing rapidity with which it spread should cause little Wonder. Q p History records a primitive love for the story. It is to fiction that the races turn, in their childhood, by a seemingly united instinct. The barbarian personifies every rock and stone, mythology explains every star, every flower and leaf, it has a history for every stream and for every season. The little Egyptian girl or boy Wasnever naughty when promised the story of Jack, the Giant Killer, or t'Cinderella. The War-like Greeks were urged on to greater effort by the heroic examples given them in the Iliad and the Odyessy, when the im- mortal gods championed their cause. Even the grim Englishman, on his barren4moors,Who waged aviolent and unending War with the forces of men and nature, had, with all his animal ferocity and brutal energy, a naturally poetic instinct. This is shown by a glimpse into their ban- quet halls. The gleemen stood in a place apart+-the forerunners of our literature.

The Beowulf is the forerunner of the novel, indeed, all the great mass of myths and- fairy tales have their influence on the later novel. The medieval romances-the early ferm of the novel-came into England with the Norman conquest, but generally the romance stories were untrue to life, they were false and exaggerated. However, step by step, the novel has advanced until at the present day, It is the medium throughwhich mind speaks to minds upon matters ranging from the greatest to the least moment. . The historical perspective diminishes. The figures approach more closely. They no longer loom in the mists of antiquity, grand, impos- ing,tremendousg we are transported to our own circle of modern fiction writers. To our English Scott, Thackeray, Dickens and Eliotg to our American Irving, Cooper, Poe and Hawthorne. These authors' works are immeasurably superior 'to all writers who preceded them. The earlier writings gave exaggerated pictures of life, and thus bestowed but little benefit upon the reader. The great central development of the novel has been upon the line ofcharacter study. English readers can see this best in George Eliot., in whose books we see the characters of common-place men and women. We begin to sympathize with the human race-to understand and study them T It is the great writers and their great books that we study in our English course Some people have the peculiar belief that our English study of fiction is the mere reading of books, that we can receive no possible benefit from the study of Hction but much harm. These per- sons have shut their eyes to thepbeauty in fiction, and are thus deprived of great pleasures. For we study fiction realizing that the most influential books and the truest ln their infiuence are works of fiction That to study Hction 1S to study life, that the character study is the greater part of a novel, and that through it we shall become acquainted with our human kind Realizing this we begin our study of the best 'authors of English literature . We learn to know Scott who in his historical novel brings all times before us from the Crusades to the Stuarts We could never have our rntensely vivid pictures of Queen Elizabeth of Queen Mary or of-the enthusiastic sentiments of our ancestors, if it were not for Scott s wonderful Waverly novels-the treasurers of every library We go to Dickens who shows us through his books the life of the poor, and he makes us sympathize with every little bootblack and chimneysweep in England In his Tale of Two Cities, he brings home the horrors of the French revolution to his readers, while at the same time he makes them pity and justify the French Revolutionists and feel compassion for the people they are murdering.

In our Irving study, we learn of the scenery of our beautiful Hudson. We iiud that our coune try is as rich in picturesque scenery and queer old legends as any European country, and we feel, after reading his short stories, that It is always good to know, if only in passing, charming human beings. It refreshes one like flowers, and woods and clear brooks. With Cooper we learn to admire the red men, with him we find much to admire in the primeval ruler of the forest, and from Cooper we get a striking picture of the trapper and the pioneer. With Poe our imagi- nations are developed and without this We could never enjoy our study of poetry. Poe's tales are wonderful works of beauty and art. With him we experience all moods from wild, passionate joy to passive dis- pairing grief. From him we learn the art of description in its min- utest detail. We learn-from,I-lawthorne to study the inner, spiritual life of man. We learn much about our New England kinsmen-of the witchcraft pe1'secutions and of their early moral struggles. We see that the lesson is that, '4Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising ,every time we fall. Is it of much moment then to question the benefit we receive from fiction? This one reason would be enough: to one who loves books, it deepens the love, to one who does not care for books, it begins .the desire. But there are also other benefits bestowed. Our best way to study characters is to put ourselves in their places, to iight with them their battles, and conquer with them their temptations. The poorest student realizes by their study the conflicts that take place in a human soul. Our authors teach us lessons which, however reluctant we may be to learn, are impressed upon us as we grow older. With our study we learn to love human nature, to pity its follies and respect its good qualities. Fiction brings to us the study of beautiful characters, an ideal for our own lives which we must cherish as the traveler cherishes the north star, and keep the guiding light pure and bright and high above the horizon. A . And so, realizing this, we go on with-out fear of harm into that beautiful country of fiction land, which if it were not that the skies are bluer, the goodpeople better, and the bad people worse, one might mistake for our own world. Long ago is new, tomorrow comes today, and it is buta step from pole to equator. The people, too, never turn one fromvthe door. Go on, students, and 'explore this land to your heart's content, explore its valleys and mountains, its towns and cities, and may you bring back from your journey lessons both ideal and practical., Gro, and a pleasant time to you.

As I read this line of Miltonls Comus,', I thought of the awarding of prizes in schools, and the accompanying evils of such Customs, I thought how many a student's sole aspiration is to gain the prize, awarded in some contest, that will never do him any practical good, or help him after the halo has dimmed and at last ceased to shine. The word prize comes from the French, and originally meant something captured by force, stratagem, or superior power. Now it stands for an honor or reward, striven for in a competitive contest, or something won by chance. I really think that the word at the present day, has more in it of the old meaning than ofthe new, because of the dis' honesty often occasioned by the determination to win. Those interested will resort to any means to attain the reward either for themselves or their friend. The awarding of prizes instigates cheating which other- wise the contestants would not think of. I do not maintain that this applies to everyone who enters a contest or to everyone who conducts one, for some there be that by due steps aspire to win a prize. There are more important reasons than the above, why prizes should not be awarded in schools. Think of the heart burnings and disappointments that always go hand in hand with the awarding of a prize! For instance once upon a time, after weeks and months of study and hours of writing, a girl was notiied that she stood at the head, and had reached the goal for which she had been striving. But alas! the papers were called in again, some mistake had been made in grading, and by a diderence of one fourth, the honor was laid at the feet of another. I dare say this girl has never forgotten the injustice done her. ' The rivalry that' takes place during a contest tears' asunder many ties of friendship, and substitutes envy and jealously, where comrade- ship had once reigned supreme. The main argument I have against the awarding of prizes is, that it changes the end or ideal 'of study, which should be to know rather than to-win. p I Should be heartily in favor of giving the student, with the highest average grade for his four 'years' course, a reward of merit. Then there would be a general, additional, and continual interest shown by every pupil, devoid of all fraud, and a larger number of graduates would take their places at commencement with the invaluable good health, which nature had bestowed on them. The real object of schooling is to teach us how to study, and we shall -never be able to appreciate the reward until we have traveled the path and learned all we could. Then it is time to look for the reward, which is to be true. enjoyment and 'i x .f-, -52 ,THE GLEAM. l 1905 pleasure in knowing, rather than a little piece of gold, with an inscrip-A tion that, perhaps,'does not coincide with the means by which it WHS WOH. Some may say that it kindles the sluggish toexertion and encour- ages them to study, but in nine cases out of ten this is not so. Those who will not work of their own will are too indolent to do so because of some triiiing prize. Then perhaps the one who is most worthy of the honor is disqualified by 'excitement and nervousness. I am sure if we could hear some of the experiences of thosetwho have entered competi- tive contests, we should say- I'll never wrestle for prize more! IIOOKHIQ BGCRWGN. HARRY G. HUNTER.

For instance, some one would say that Antonio would have made a better husband for Portia than Bassanio, or that Shylock, rather than Antonio, is the hero of The Merchant of Venice. Suche statements as these, some people upheld while others opposed. The resultwas, of course, work for the lawyers and debater's of the 'cstatef' the decisions were rendered by judges or the Legislature 'Although these questions seem rather personal, they were the means of '05i' getting some of the finest speeches in The Congressional Records . The state has not passed through these two years without having several critical periods. The hrst of these occurred on November 2, 1903, when the people decided, by popular vote, that they must have state colors, So after much discussion, the populace, declared for the green and gold -those famous colors under which the state has gained its position. - ' ' The next business of great and general importance was the choice of an emblem by which the citizens would be known in foreign countries.

As the imagination is strongest in children-, so in the childhood of a nation the imagination of its people is at its highest developmentg they are superstitious and readily believe in witchcraft, sorcery and super- natural power. Thus their writers were poets and poetry would most appeal to these people,-a people who, as Macauley says, felt that they must act out every piece they read. ' ' These early poets were inspired by Nature. How could it have been otherwise? Inspiration comes from a higher power and Nature was their god.

And the mighty Virgil! does he not carry his reader with him, cannot the student almost see Neptune rising from the sea and shaking his trident in his awful wrath? Yes, all this and more, is depicted by the earlier poets and gives the value to their work. - Yet even greater is the value of the poetry inspired by humanity. The poet of this class shows us what man is, can, and ought to be. In Milton's poetry we have pictured the ideal life of a man and the beautiful solemnity of our lives. He also shows us the beauty of Words, so that we realize as never before, that we as the possessors of the English language are wealthy beyond a.ll countQ In the dramas of Shakespeare we see life as it truly is, all its tragedy, all its comedy, all its beauty. 'cHamlet,', 4'Macbeth and King Learn fire- our imagination and cause us to consider some of the greatest moral subjects. We begin to question as Hamlet in that wonderful soliloquy ' To be, or not to be, that is the questionz- D Whether 't is nobler in the mind, to suffer K The stings and arrows of outrageous Fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles - And by opposing end them? The Midsummer Nightis Dream puts us into fairy land and we sit and dream, until called back to earth and its realities by the love of a friend like Antonio, the beauty and intellect of a maid like Portia, or the awful cruelty of a Shylock. r Thus we see that poetry has a wonderful influence, that without it we would be narrow, that we would never see the beauties and wonders of the world, and that the most beautiful and majestic hallsin the Kingdom of the Past would remain shrouded in shadows for us, and we could not say Beauty is its own excuse for being because A we could not think so. ,X As civilization advances this Kingdom of the Past expands, other halls are added on. And as these other things grow, Literature must grow also-it must find new forms by which to tell of these mighty halls. The thoughts of the people have been poetic, now they become prosaic: New the essayist, the biographer, the historian, the write-r of books of travel and the novelist are come into their own, now is their appointed time. ' The essayist, how beautiful yet how weighty is his work, when he voices his thought in a scientific, an historical or a critical essay, he seems to know just what to say in order to please mankind. As the world progresses, and 'rushes into light,' as civilizationmarches on, and as it becomes 'daybreak everywhere,' knowledge accumulates and it is easy for a man to gather together all the truth concerning a scientific or philosophical subject and givethem' to the world in a treatise which shall make him famous. And as the beacon lights off history and literature became numerous, many critical essays are are written. Then it was that Macaulay wrote his great essays, fm-'rg-, ,. .51 1- H , 11- - ' 'f vs yy Gram. 1Q05.d' that Ruskin gave us Sesame and Lillies, Carlyle, Heroes and Hero- Worshipf' and that Emerson produced Representative Men. The finest biographers, Boswell, Lockhart and Holmes, wrote during this period, each concerning the life of him he loved best. Macaulay, Fiske and Green were the great historians. It is by reading them that we gain a familiarity with people and times which we can get in no other way- Without these, books of travel would never had been written 5 for it is history that makes places famous. Who would care about the little village of Stratford-on-Avon, if Shakespeare had not lived there? Then likewise knowing that it was once the home of Shakespeare, who would not care to visit it? We long to see the views of ancient Greece and Rome, we grow hungry for one glance at the Pyramids, we would give anything to see just one corner of Westminster Abbey. And as we count over all the historical places we should like to see, we think of thehomes of our favorite characters of fiction, and we feel that we must find them though we know not where to look. Lovely and extensive is that wonderful region of Hction land. Here we see men of high degree as Bulwer's pictures pass before- -us. Then as we open George Eliot's works, we see the great middle class- the common people. She shows us the comedy and the tragedy, the beauty and thepathos, which dwell even inthe humblest life. Who can persuade himself that there 15 no village of Raveloe?

That these problems have been solved, history bears witness. Some have been solved by compromise, some by the ballot, and others have been solved upon the battle-field. That the present period of American history is no exception to the rule, is proved by the number of great governmental questions, which confront the American public of to-day-questions that must be solved. To attempt to prophesy the manner in which these great problems will be solved would be useless, but to state how they should be solved would be comparatively easy. Itis to be hoped, however, that the days of Civil warfare are passed, and that 'a less costly and more humane solution may be found. 'Never,since the Rebellion, has the government of the United States been confronted with so many great' political questions as it is at the present time, and, as the years go by and the country grows in wealth and importance,the number increasesg the ques- tions themselves expand and become more and more complex, until they almost defy solution. Several have lately assumed an aspect so grave as to threaten the very foundation of the government, and the American public is rightfully demanding an immediate solution of these problems. What are the great political evils that are aiming to destroy the two most sacred principles of American government, liberty and justice? I For an answer to this question we must give the political evils that are proving most dangerous to the general welfare of our great commonwealth. There are many such problems demanding solution, but there are four that stand out more prominently than the rest, namely, the trusts, the protective tariff system, corruption in politics, or bocdle, and foreign immigration. I The nrst of these, the trust evil, is now before the bar of public opinion. Society has returned its verdict. The trusts have been found guilty of the most flagrant violations of the laws of God and man. The sentence is yet to be passedtupon them. What shall it be? The greatest trusts is the combination of capital, for evil that 'grows out of the . money is power. The great corporations of the country have united their interests until they have secured monopolies on the necessities of ll d life, such as coal, meat, sugar and wool, which the masses are compe e by necessity to purchase at the trust's own price, and thus great wealth - ' l f has been concentrated within the control of comparative y ew men, and when this is done much power is also placed in their hands and t . this prevents that equality of man for which our governmen 1S 80 THE GLEAM. , 1905 pledged. It makes it possible for a few men 'td control the great industries of the world, and thereby prevents honest competition. The Standard Oil trust is the best example of what a power trusts become. This great trust ,not only controls the oil industry, but it holds the controlling interest in many other large corporations in the United States. The steel trust is also a good example of the power the trusts wield when left undisturbed. They can control the prices on all articles manufactured or produced by the various branches of the trusts, and if an independent firm opens up a business, the trusts Will. .either merge its business or force it out altogether. They do not give the smallercompanies a chance .to make an honest living by honest means, because they can undersell them on all articles they produce or handle. The trusts have become the money power of the United States. They now control, or attempt to control, legislation whenever their interests are involved, and if a bill is brought up that is not favorable to them, it usually gets no farther than the committee room. The employees of these trusts are virtually slaves. , They are forced to buy their food and clothing from the company's stores at the company's price. They are also required to vote as the company directs if they 'expect to remain in their employ. The trusts' greed for gain .is insatiable and ever now and then, they attempt ,to swell their profits by a reduction in the price of wages. A reduction, since labor has organized to secure, better wages and shorter hours, is usually followed by a great strike with the usual destruction of life and property. In the great Pullman strike of 1894, we see the proof of this statement. Another proof is the great strike at Coal Creek, Tenn., in 1892. This struggle between capital and labor has increased to such an extent lately, that we have strikes 'almost every year. The 'trusts bring up that old question that has been .before the 'world for the past thousand years,-is it right for a few men to be allowed to dictate to thousands of, others What, they shall do? The answer the American people are A giving to this question is, UNO, for is not our government based upon the broad principals of democracy? .Is not this a government of the people, for the people, by the people? The trust evil, if not destroyed, threatens to make this country an aristrocracy or an oligarehy. It threatens to destroy the liberty that our forefathers won for us in the Revolutionary War, and which has been so carefully fos- tered ever since by the great statesmen of our country. n Another olde yet great problem is the protective tariff system. This question nas been before the-public ever since 1789, or since the the passing of the irst tariH law. The first tariff law was passed for theipurpose of raising revenue for the support of the government. The large war, debt that had accumulated . during the Revolutionary War, and the government's needs, made it necessary. for such a law to bepassed. In 1816 another tariff law, brought about by the War of 1.8l2,,.yvas.fpassed, which was intended to protect the infant industries of the-United States against the competition of European manufactories, ' LL:. :2:'gle-in-g. :ez-e.:-..:.:s:.:,a,ffvfar::1::r ....:..1l,:.e ...,,, 1905- THE GLEAM., 81 and' Strange to 5333 110i COI1Sidering the marvelous growth of the Am6T1Car1 manufacturing industry since that time, theitariff is still protectlng the infant industries of the United States, The first tariff law was necessary, as the manufacturing industries were Weak and needed protection, but they have since grown until, now, they can defy all competition, and, therefore they no longer need protection. The tariff of 1828 fastened the instutition of protection upon the American people, and it has been a source of trouble ever since, for it is anotable fact that it istnext to impossible to abolish a tariff once imposed upon an article. A The American manufacturers claim that, but for the protective tariff, foreign countries could undersell them. They give as their prin- cipal reason for this, the cheap labor to be had in Europe, but this statement is refuted by the fact that the large manufactories employ great numbers of these foreigners, at virtually the same wages as the Europeanfmanufactories pay them., Another proof that protection is no longer needed, is that the Americanspare underselling the English manufactories in their own country and elsewhere. For example, an American made sewing machine can. be bought in England for about Another proof of this statement is the comparative prices charged in America and Europe for steelrails and many other articles manufactur- ed by the great steel trust. A ' we can ind many other examples in proof of the- statement, and they show us that we Americans are having to pay higher prices forthe necessities of life just because there is no foreign competition. ls there any justice in a tariff law like the McKinley tariff bill of 1890, which placed higher duties upon many of the chief necessities of life such as blankets, cotton-cloth, cutlery, eggs, wool-cloth and other articles used by the poor? A tariff like this inflicts a terrible hardship upon the working class of people, as the tax is on the things they need and 'l must have, thus increasing the cost of living without wa corresponding increase in wages. The tariff laws would advance proportionally, but wages do not advance, and this makes it' next to impossible' for the working man to pay his honest debts. The tariff laws favor a few at the the expense of the many, they destroy legislai tive independence, they establish a favored class, and therefore, they are unjust and should be repealed. A There is still another problem that is almost as hard to solve as the tariff question. The question is: How to prevent corruption in politics, or in other words, how to stop boodling? What is boodle? Webster terms it a bribe, or money given for a political purpose, .but some of the' American legislators have seen fit to dehne it gett1ng- rich-quick, or the placing of personal gain above public trust and honor. In some sections of the country, the boodle evil has become .so great that no law is passed unless the legislators are paid a large price or pissing it. Such work prevents just legislation, and, thC1'6f01'0, two-thirds of the price that the same machine would cost in Americaf 82 I THE GLEAM. 1905 jeopardiaes our liberty and it places large corporations in control of the legislatures. It leads to that dangerous evil of machine politics thatibegan in Jackson's administration, and thus places great political power. in the hands of a few unscrupulous men. When money gets control of legislation, just and equal laws can no longer be enacted and it is here Where the evil becomes most dangerous, and will, if not stopped, destroy the corner stone of our government,-justice. 'Does not the history of Rome show us the danger arising from corrupt politics 2, Did not the corruption of that historical old body, the Roman Senate, lead,in the end,to the fall of great the Rome Republic? What boodle can do in one period of history, it can and surely will do in another. Do we Americans Want history to record the fact that the Republic of United States fell through the instrument of boodle? Every true and patriotic American is bound to answer No, and to stand up to denounce and light against this evil until it be destroyed. Foreign immigration presents another formidable question. There is a class of people immigrating to this country' that is very undesirable. They bring with themuthe principles of anarchy. That they are: ,a dangerous element was proved by the assassination of President Mcliinleyhby one of this class of immigrants. These people are unused to the liberty We enjoy and after being here a While, they become restless and refuse to be bound even by our just and equitable laws. A great many of the strikes are caused by just such people as these immigrants. They Will work for less Wages than an American can afford to Work for, and in this Way they reduce the price of Wages The Government should 'pass more stringent immigration laws at once, to keep these foreigners out of the country for if they continue to come here there will be no end to the troublethey will cause -After having seen some of the great problems of government that have to. be solved We naturally ask' -How are they to be solved?

The Moonman for once knew enough of courtship to keep silent. He, radiated smiles and glances of admiration at her, but upon her they had no eifect. She scorned superliciality to intellectualityg none of his manner would she have. But he was unabashed and began: , 'cAh, Ma'mzel1e, will you not receive me into your heart? Repeatedly during my sojourn here, in my peregrinations about this temple, haveI been frightened. Iam a poor lonely man. I have been barked at, hooted at, howled at, and scorned by all.

He began: ' Fair one! what would you say if I were to tell you that for your sake, to win you, I would verify all the guesses of your scientists concerningthe moon, that the attraction of love and other platonic affections vary inversely as the square of the distance from here to my place of residence. , Oh, said she, graciously, you know something about the moon. Perhaps you can inform me of the transportation facilities on the way. I am going to organize a monopoly fer the sale of the moon cheese. Ihavejust perfected an ethereal transportation system to bring it to the earth. p Ma'am, he rejoined, sorrowfully, Pm sorry to tell you that there is no such thing as ether, and that the moon is not made of green cheese.

The '05 Staff has Worked hard to give the public the best Gleam that has ever been published. How far we have succeeded along this line, We shall leave you to judge. Along with our work, there has been some play. Nevertheless We have done our best by every one Who has been concerned in the slightest Way with the Gleam' Staff. We have -read over and over every article that has been submitted, and have found good material in every piece. It would have been impossible for us to publish all the papers We have asked to be Written. Therefore, We have, to the best of our ability, selected those numbers that we thought would do our paper most credit. This year's Staff is unusually large, and every one on the Board of Editors has done all in his or her power to make the Gleam what it is. Criticieme. In publishing an annual, a class is bound to submit itself to more or less criticism. Generally this criticism is flung about on the Winds, and does not reach the ears of the Staff until it is too late. We are not opposed to straightforward, honest criticism, but on the contrary, we invite it. Our best friends a1'e those who tell us our faults and help us to correct them. We wish the 1905 Gleam to be a represen- tative ofthe Independence High School. If you have seen any way in which We might have improved our paper, We should have appreciated it if you had come to us and given your suggestions. We wish our paper M130 be interesting not only to the high school student, but also 94' THB GLEAM. y p 1905 to anyone who should chance to pick' it up. If you are one of the chance readers of the Gleam, we shall speak for the 'O6' Class, and say that they will welcome you with open arms, if you will come to them and give your heartfelt criticism. 4 , . , Hcknowledgmente. As vve, the Seniors of 1905, depart from our High School, we feel the deep debt of gratitude that we owe to our many kind friends and helpers. We wish to thank the general public for the deep interest they have shown in us and-the hearty support they have given us in all our undertakings. It was by their attendance at our two plays that we are enabled to place a class memorial in thee Hall of Fame at the HighSchool. 'We also wish to thank the business men of Inde- pendence and Kansas City, who have made the success of the Gleam possible. , We wish to thank the Board of Education for the many kind favors they have shown us during our four years at the High School, and we hope some day to show our appreciation of these faV01'S. The teachers-oh, how can we ever show our appreciation of what they have done for us! We would thank them forthe many favors shown us, and we hope that our friendship may be as that of Antonio. And too,we would thank our Librarian for her kindness toward us,and We hope to visit her often after we leave school. - - Again we wish to thank all who have in any way aided us, all who have in any way helped to make our 'last year of high school .life a pleasant one. I , Hpolegiee., At our first meeting four of the woe-be-gone, so called literary members of our number, were appointed to write stories. Detective stories,love stories,any kind in fact,that would either a from our little volume. One belated individual, after great eHort, entered what he designated as a triumph in the detective story line. He announced that it had a tremendous and' thrilling climax. fAnd'I believe he really thought it tool. So at our next meeting, he read it to the Staff. After much stuttering and halting he Hnally arrived at the climax. Tremendous and !hrz'Z!z'ng were not the adjectives to apply to the climax. It was something awful.

Dick had fallen asleep during the 1'eading and when he awoke was greatly surprised, but on learning the facts joined in the general sympathy. The author withdrew in a shaken and palsied mood. He sent his story to the Sentinel as they are less exacting in their requirements than the Grleam. ' i This was the reply: Please call to-morrow with a dray and remove your rubbish before the health authorities get hold of it. .l,,,- Gui' Clindowe. . ,. For several years it has been the custom of the diderent classes to leave, at their graduation, something to beautify. the High School Building and at the same time, help keep the memory of the class fresh inthe minds of succeeding pupils. The classes before this year have left statuary5 both marble and bronze, and pictures. This year the Class of 1905 decided to introduce something new .in the way of decoration: consequently it has left two Windows richly alight. . ' -One of these windows is placed in Room 2, and the other. in the Reading Room. They contain the class pin and the class motto. .ln one is the portrait of Thomas J efferson, in the other that of Henry W. Longfellow. 'These men were chosen from the History and the Litera- ture courses, as representatives of the most popular characters of each. The Gleam Staff regrets very much that it is unable to publish representations of these Windows in this volume, but the condition of the subjects at the time of publication, would not enable us to have a cut'K' made from them. 'The Class of 1905 hereby extends a cordial invitation to all people: who wish to see these windows, to come to the High School Building whenever it is open and View these works of art. A Che 'o5 Clase- Din. In looking over the Gleam anyone will notice what a prominent place we have given to our class pin. It is perhaps one of the most Qriginaland artistic pins selected during the history ot the High School. It was designed by Mr. Lon Gentry who, we regret to - Say, left us at the close of our Junior year. This, and . the real beauty of tl1e:.pinihave'endeared it to us. We all join in giving three 0l1CGI'S f01' Mr. Gentry, and bid you farewell saying, Long live the Green and the Gold? -3 98 THE GLBAM. q 1905 i Declaration of Independence. I Since we, the pupils of the Senior I Class, I Independence High E 1 i l Z i l l I 5 i E i t V, l r 5 1 1 . , . ! School, must dissolve the educational bonds which have held pupil and i teacher together for the last four years, a decent respect to our friends requires that we should declare the causes which impel us to the sepa- ration. We are not driven to this separation by any one teacher, but each has done his or her part towards causing it and hastening its cul- mination. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world: In the morning, when we lirst reach school, our fresh and shining countenances are met by herce, piercing- glances that cause us to melt like icicles under a tropical sun. ' 'For accidental tardiness, we are shut up in' a barren, bleak, deso- late room, in custody of a stern warder, to be kept in .solitary contine- ment for the space of forty-live minutes. In History we are continually annoyed by daily quizzes, which however nice and agreeable to the Inquisitor, are most unpleasant for the victims. , p 1 In Latin, we are taken to Rome so often that we are getting used to sea-sickness. , In Physics, we are treated most inhumanely, being compelled to eat Force7' and to take paper and pencil, at the same time. In Geometry, We are made to indulge in the toy-manufacturing, wall-papering, carpentering, and kindling-splitting business. For flunking in one geometrical theorem, we are compelled to at- tend the reception, held daily at 2:30 in Room 9. In English, we are required to talk,when spring fever makes yawn- ing much more comfortable. ' - In the Auditorium, tablet armspwere taken away from us, after which all pupils were constrained to write on their knees,-thereby accounting for the number of pupils supporting Bunker Hills on their backs. ' ' V ' Our requests for milder t1'eatment,-and shorter hours have been rejected with disdain. - , In every stage of these oppressions, we have petitioned for redress in most humble terms, our repeatedpetitions have been answered only by repeated injury. V We,therefore,- the ,members of the Senior Class, Independence High School, do solemnly declare ourselves free and independent ff0I11 llhe.-authority, and jurisdiction of any and all teachers in the above Said High School.. May those who have caused this woeful disf solution profit by our examples, and may theworld judge us rightly. . , 4 . . THE CLASS .or-' 'O5. i l l l E i 1 l v i E K l 1 i 1 2 i 1 l 1905. THE GLEAM. V99 Che Hlumni: H atural Brotherhood, W EARLE EUBANK. We all know the feelings that attend a visit, after a long absence, to some spot which has, in past times, been in some ,Way associated with our experiences. We remember how reverently We walk about, pointing out this place and that, where such and such an event oc- curred, and how an iudefinable-atmosphere of sacredness seems to hover over all, and bid us lay on nothing a deiling hand. But this feeling ofreverence, in almost its highest form, is reserved to the graduates- the alumni-of any school, when, after a lapse of time they re- enter the old halls. ' The alumni are the most important part of a school, for ,upon them its reputation depends. You cannot judge Wholly of the school's character by the students' enrolled, as you cannot tell while the apples are green, vvnether the tree will bear sweet fruit or bitter, you must wait until tl1e harvest before you can judge of its merits. The greater the force Which constitutes this body, the greater will be the school's reputation. But if the alumni are a vital, Working, forcible force, it must be a healthy, Wholesouled, unanimous body in which is the spirit of the old schoolf' and a high regard for her name and best interests. Such a force We wish and intend that the alumni of the Independ- ence High'School shallbe. The 'class of '03 began the Work of organiza- tion by having a reunion of all the former graduates, the class of '04 carried the mechanical part of the organization to a conclusion, in an enrollment of the graduates and an election of officers. But still the spirit of the organization, the quickening life blood, which is necessary if we would be a force, is not yet at its highest point What this is to be in the future is dependent upon the attitude shown by succeeding classes, but what it is to be novv is dependent upon those of us who have already gone forth. ,Do not let your interests in this movement flag for an instant. It makes no difference whether we graduated lif- teen years or -one year ago, We are still a band of brethrenp In this particular case- however diverse our paths in other lines-our interests are the same, our memories bear us back to a place in common, and round our old school is built up a sacred brotherhood. I Each year adds to our numbers,-it should add in sacredness to this natural body, yet We are scarcely acquainted with each other. Shall we not, as many of us as can, assemble at least once a year to further cement this bond of fellowship? We should k110W 621011 other Hlld, as-far as we are able, Work in harmony to make our school more widely known. When we are great, she' should profit by it, when suc- ceas is ours, she should glory in it. . e should make for her a name, j 100 rue GLBAM. 19054 in making one for ourselves, until she shall' be-ar such a name as future' classes will call with pride. Let us be loyal' to her and faithful to each other, for these are the requisites for true alumni fellowship, Thus only can we attain our highest ideals, thus only can we establish a name that is worthy of her, thus only can we realize the dignity of of our brotherhood. Will we do it? , Hi .few Short Letters from Qld Stuclentei T61THE' GLEAM: ' I The trials of a Freshman at college are numerous and varied, but th'ere.is always one trial which each particular student Ends hardest.

My mind was wavering between a desire to be a second George Eliot, and the amazing plan of combining the glories of Shakespeare, the passions of Byron and the elegancies of Pope in an epic, which, by the perfection of its metre and the originality of its construction, would at 'once proclaim itself the world's masterpiece! .

Every day sees new improvements of all kinds all through the store. We pride ourselves upon our corps of buyers and sales- people, also the quality and styles of our merchandise- -that they are the best in Kansas City isa well known fact. We guarantee our goods to be just as represented and have been doing so all the years we have been in businessg they must be very satisfactory as complaints are very few, and everybody knows we cheerfully refund money if our merchandise is not exactly as represented. Old goods, mussed and soiled goods, we take out of the stock by cutting the prices as quickly as discovered. , It takes more than a big store house and hundreds of thousands of dollars of worth of merchandise to make a high class store. There's many a point to be con- sidered. In the first place, underlying the whole business -structure, must be a strictly honorable policy, au honest endeavor to deal justly and fairly with the pub- lic, a disposition to make every error right so far as it is possible to be done. Added to this must be the most discriminating selection of merchandise--a sure and steady casting aside of the worthless trash, so much of which, showy and decep. tive, is offered to the buying public today. We are seeking your good will-we are striving to make our store a still greater success than the past years have proven, and we know the way lies through giving you plenty of good honest values for your money. f'E-Jf'E-2 Hen.
