To every class that passes thro-ugh I. H. S., there comes a time when it must give to the school its history. Often the history is uninteresting and un- important. A thing to be read rapidly by fond parents and forgotten. But to the class itself, the history is all important. Looking back, each little trivial event assumes immense proportions. So today we have reached the stage when the school demands of us a history. Looking down from the lofty height of a Senior, we see ourselves as we entered I : H. S.-frightened and forlorn. The whole world seemed our enemy as we blundered into the wrong class--room, or waited patiently beside, acer- tain spot in the wall, while we were told an elevator would so-on appear to take us to the first Hoor. Many were our trials that first year. But after we had organized, and had a president, we felt much more important and more able to hold our own. V V The year passed, as all things will. and we found ourselves Sophomores. NVe had advanced one round up the ladder of our ambition. Wfith acknowl- edged rights we taunted the l3'resl1ies,'l as we ourselves had never been taunt- ed. The teachers had called us the best Freshmen class and we set about prov- ing to them that we were the best Sopomore class that had ever been reg- istered in our I-ligh School. 'We organized with a flourish., and plunged head- long into our brilliant career with a class picnic in the fall. Horseshoe Lake never knew a merrier crowd than gathered about its waters that beautiful fall day. And the memory of it remained bright throughout the year. Our labors were rewarded by the glories we gained in the Short Story contest. First, second, and third places, were awarded us, and our faces beam- ed with pride to have sur-passed the Juniors. Then we were Sophs no longer, we were juniors. How we had longed to be Juniors. Everything is possible to a junior, he feels no cares and knows no defeats. Gaily the days Hew by. VVe organized our class and then such a time we had selecting our pins. How hard it was to know what we wanted, and, oh, the long three weeks before they came. How anxiously we waited for them. Xflfith what delighted hearts we fastened them on. How thrilled we were when we showed the other classmen our little black and gold em- blems. . As the year passed, we gained many honors, and on a perfectnight in May, we gave our never-to-be-forgotten reception to the Seniors. The diffi- culties and labors we had to undergo to give it, were fully repaid by the won- derful success we scored. lt will live ever in our memory as one of the bright- est spots of our High School life. Aml now we stand at the height of the ladder. Wfe have successfully 26 THE GLEAM. climbed to the top-most round. Our last year has been the brightest year of all. Our Senior Play, the Alumni Reception, and Our Gleam, have been the grandest achievements of this year. IfVe have striven to be a worthy example for the under classmen, andwe hope as we leave the school that they will re- member and honor our attempts to make school brighter and happier.

But novv that I'm done, prepare forthe fun For I am bound I will make quite' a hit, I am young, it is true, and fresh on the stump, As I think that my get up will show- But I'm there just the same with the goods of ol-d I-Iigh, So of course the whole town should know.

The poorest service is re.paid with thanks. - At last the day arrived, when Tommy was to go with his big sis to hear the Thanksgiving program, which her class was to give in assembly. He was very anxious to hear it because, he had heard his sister remark, that the -program was to be just a little different this year from any that had ever been give11 in tl1e sch-ool before. The charitable spirit offthe 'Seniors had shone forth in their desire t-o do something to make someone else happy. The other classes were hearty co-operators in the Senior's plan, which was, that each person in the school should contribute some eatable toward the poor's Thanksgiving. These things were to be brought to school the day before Thanksgiving, and to be used in decorating the stage for the program, then the things were to be taken to the homes of the poor. ' As you may know, the Seniors used their usual artistic taste in the decora- tions, and the scene was indeed a .pretty one. The pumpkins, apples, nuts, canned fruits, and other good things, which were scattered here and there on the stage, almost made onels mouth water. Little Tommy was very much excited over everyt-hing, and asked his sis- ter if they served refreshments in all the schools on Thanksgiving day. She could not explain fully to him, just there, why the eats iwere on the stage, so consequently, his apapetite bothered him considerably, and he paid little atten- tion to the excellent program. This consisted of several readings, a vocal and piano solo, and agword of thanks by the president of the class. ' Everyone, but the disappointed Tommy, left the auditorium with the feel- ' s in more than one way. For Life is not for mere passing pleasure, but for the highest unfoldment that one ca at- .

Pro- fessor l-lill, the President of our University, made us a visit while on his way to Kansas City to attend the big annual Missouri-Kansas foot ball game. Professor I-lill said he would spend the hour telling us about the Univer- sity, as he wished to interest us in it. I-le told us of his work, and the educa- tional, social and athletic departments of the school, adding that it provided for the study of any branch of work which one might care to-take up. While mentioning the many social organizations and their advantages, he especially complimented the orchastra and band, declaring that even if the Jay 'Hawk- ers' should defeat us in foot ball, they could not in music, Lastly, after setting forth the great advantages of the school, Professor Hill made one great plea for the loyalty of Missouri people to their own uni- versity. Wfe all greatly enjoyed the hour, and heartily invited the Professor back. Each of us felt not -only a deeper interest in our university, but a greater love and respect for its president. DELMA WEBB.-'13, .....1li THE CHRISTMAS PROGRAM. No enterprising school would allow any holidays for, in fact, any day of note to pass by without some sort of a program. So, as Christmas approach- ed, the Seniors laid out plans for an all morning program, in which all under- elassmen were invited to participate. By custom, it was the right of the Seniors to give the Christmas program, but owing to the fact that arrange- ments for the Senior Play were taking most of their time, they turned it over to the Juniors, who had asked them for it. When we had entered the Auditorium, and had taken our places, on the 'Wednesday preceding .Christmas-, we were first favored by a musical, and two recitations by the Juniors. Then in a short speech Mr. Philip Hitchcock gave the synopsis of a .play to be presented by the Juniors, entitled, Jack and fills' Christmas. This was followed by the play itself, which was up to our expec- tations, considering the time in which they had to prepare it. Of course Santa Claus came to take the presents off of the beautiful Christ- mas tree, which the juniors had prepared. After his appearance, the faculty was invited to take seats on the front row, and the giving out of present pro- ceeded. After the usual responses were made, Professor Bryant gladdened our hearts by saying that we were excused from the rest of the periods. Every- one ru-shed out of the Auditorium with a smiling face, as the thoughts of that next two weekys vacation came.

I PAVING THE WAY? Little do we realize the great part our education plays ia our later lifeg or, I should say, little did we realize it, because all who were fortuntate enough to hear Dr. Dobynsl talk on 'fPaving the VVay, on January 17, must surely know that we cannot progress very far without an education. He compared our school lite to a road which is being built. We were shofwn that it was really upon our ward school work that our e-lucation de- pends, as a road depends upon its foundation. Then he showed us how our high school studies add layer after layer to our road until it stands ready to be 'used. Still, however, it is rough and not very easy to travel on, yet it can be used, and in many cases is. ' ' I Wliat then does our college course do for us, if high school prepares the 'road for use? It smoothes over the rough edges just as the last layer of the road makes it smooth. And, as the road is easier to travel over with this laye-r on, so our life is made easier to travel with a college education. I ' Then, Dr. Dobyns told us, there is one thing more. , What wiould happen to a road without a curbing? It would soon wear away and fall out of place. As the curbing acts as a checknuplon the road, so a .good moral character acts upon men and women. All of the education in the 'world would be of 'little benefit without it. f ' I am sure that we all owe Dr. Dobyns a great debt of gratitude, and, al- though we maynnot fully realize all that he said now, the seeds sown that morning, January 17, 1913, may yield us ten fold in the years to come.

Cf co-urse the Seniors were overjoyed to think they were to be gueqsfs of honor at a reception-a junior reception, which was to be given on the Ifriday before their Commencem'en.t Mornf' , The Juniors had been busy until a late h-our transforming our class rooms into something akin to a college banquet hall. The walls were hung Wlth pennants, and over the bare floors rugs were spread, and in place of stiff schoo-l- room chairs, were comfortable chairs and sofas. Ferns were artistically ar- ranged in the corners of the rooms, while hanging baskets of Black-eyed-sw sans, the Hower of the entertaining class, were used throughout the rooms, and vases of these Howers were in the windows. Indeed, the Spirit of Nature seemed to be everyfwhere. Q - In order to give formality to the occasion, 'a receiving line, composed of the class officers, was stationed in the hall to welcome their guests. In the reception room, everyone was busy talking. with classmates and faculty members, while a groufp of classmates would be seen gathered around a table drinking a delicious beverageewhi-ch seemed almost to rival the Nectar of the Godsf, But we were--not permitted to remain here lolng, for soon we found ourselves ushered into the Assembly I-Iall. After all were seated, Mr. Harry Sturges announced that our next entertainment would be a play- Be- tween Two Foes. A story which would take us back t-o the days of the Civil War. We hardly recognized our entertainers, so completely did they enter into' the spirit of the characters which they were impersonating. The performers exhibited so much ease on the s-tage, and those who took the comedy parts did so Well, that we were kept in a c-onstant state of hilarity. We had hardly time to comp-liment the actors on their delightful per- formance, before we were escorted back to the reception rooms, where we were served with refreshments, h' l green and gold.

The strengthfoff' c'haracter of that gracious people, their bravery and fortitude in defeat, and their lofty aims and ideals which brought them success, all combine t-or make the South, the land of romance and the land of heroes.

Far off toward the northeast, may be seen the buildings of Vtfashington and the fields of the more distant country. Behind the house are the remains of what was, during the early days of the Republic, a mighty forest. Through a portion 'of -this, runs a winding avenue leading up to the mansion. Extensive gardens border the drive, not such as in the time of Lee, beautified the-lawn, but gardens that were designed-before a seed was plan-ted. The peace of the dead reigns supreme. The gentle stillness is unbroken save for the occasional chatter of one squirrel housewife to another, as they spring from bough to bough or prepare their simple meal. It is the city of the dead indeed. No suggestion or shadow of the gay life and good-cheer of the times before the war, is to 'be seen, about the well ke-pt lawns or about the silent, majestic house. As one gazes out across the lawn dotted with the graves of the 'fBoys in Blue his thoughts revert back to the history of the magnificent estate, the present fades away and the past becomes a living picture. X The home, when only a frame-manor house, was purchased by Mr. john Custis, a wfealthy-planter, from' Edwin Scarburgh, surveyor-general of Vir- ginia, in the early colonial period. The estate descended to Mrl Daniel Custis, who married the bell and beauty of W'illiamsbt11'g, Martha Dandridgef It was iduring this period that -the house became such a social centre. The beau- tiful and accomplished Martha Custis, entertained lavishly-house parties, dances, and-general -good times' were found here. 'The governor was many -times asked to come and-spend the week--end. After a few- -years of-happy married life, Mr. Custis died-and: left Martha a widow, with two children. She- was bygfar the wealthiest and -most attractive woman in -Virginia.

In seven- teen fifty nine,f'she' married George VX7ashington, who was then acolonel in the Virginia militia. They lived for a While at the Vifhite House fas Arlington 1Manor was called atthat .timeb and then-went to live at Mt. Vernon. The Arlington estate descended to Martha Custis' only son, G. XV. P. Custis, and he it was, who -built the handsome building, standing today, pre- served in, at least, a part of its old glory. The building waslconsidered before the war to be the fmest piece of architecture in the South. It was planned after a temple near Naples-'-the Doric type of architecture- predominating, the eight immense columnsforniing- the attractive portico.

The long massive drawing room-with its high ceiling and shadowed nooks and its magnihcent hre place, lighted by IUCHOW CZIHCHCS, supported by beautifully carved sticks, was the front room on the south. The big cheerful room in the south rwinig was used as the ,guest room, and was the most beautiful bed-room in the mansion. Across' the hall in the northern wing, were smaller rooms, used as music and dining rooms. All the rooms in the house wereitastefully arranged and retain to this day some of. their ancient glory although only two are open to the public.

The buildings were low and built on the same plan as the house, stucco over brick, being the material used. They were as artistic and appropiate series of out buildings as could have been imagined. ' T I Many were the happy scenes that the 'grand old oaks witnessed as the small Lee came to play under their shade with his little neighbor, the, daugh- ter of the house. They watched the little playmates. as they romped and play- ed and as they grewn to mgmhood and womanhood. They felt the absence of the little fellow when as a young man he entered VVest Point. They thrilled with joy when in eighteen hundred thirty one the two comrades became man and wife in the beautiful drawing room of the Arlington house. Proudly they raised their branches on high as the coachesbearing the first families of Vir- ginia passed, under their over-hanging branches, up the avenue and on to the brilliantly lighted home, From this time on until the Civil Vifar, Arlington was Lee'5 home, ,His soldiers' life during the Mexican war drew him away from home for years at a time, but his family lived 't'll61'6,,3.llCl, although far away, his touch and pres- ence preivaded every room. During these years, Arlington was the centre of 'fhQ.S0Ci2l1 life Of Northern Virginia.

He played the part of a host as he played the part of a general --with a master hand. The saddest memory of Arlington wa.s the leave taking. NVhen Virginia joined her forces with the Seceding States and joined hands in the cause they upheld. Her sons went with her. Lee as an officer in the United States army, was offered the command of the Union troops, but he refused the honor and cast his lot, his fortune and his life with his own state, which has never be- trayed the trust. The struggle it cost him was the struggle of a stro-ng man to find the clear path of duty. He found it and nothing could keep him from following to death, where duty led. ' He removed his family to Richmond, and the beautiful home, rich in mem- ories of the old, happy days, was closed never again to be the shelter of its most distinguished son, Lee, who had already found his way into the hearts of the Southern people. Sad as the leave taking was, the family did not realize that never again were they to wander about the magnifcent, familiar rooms. Eyes could not have been more appealing, nor lips more eloquent than the familiar objects in their mute farewell. Happy family that they could not realize this parting! ' Very early in the contest, Union soldiers were lD1'OL1gl1ll to Arlington for burial, and often-times the home of the great Confederate general, was used as the headquvarters of the Union troops, against w'hom he fought daily. As the years passed the number of graves grew larger and larger until at the end of the war, when the deathblow had been struck, and the Confederacy had surrendered, when her homes were only a mass of ruins, and her young life gone, the estate of Lee was little more than a burial ground. Congress had passed a lalw, which provided that taxes on certain real estate must be paid by the owner in person. The 'object was the confiscation of rebel property. Mrs. Lee held the title to Arlington Heights, and she was at the time in Richmond and unable to pass through the lines to Xdfashington in person. She sent her agent, who was refused, and the plantation was sold forjtaxes. The govern- ment bought it and the noble heights became a National cemetery. After Mrs, Lee's death, the property descended to -her son, Custis Lee, who, unwilling to see the estate pass out of the family, brought suit against the United States. The Supreme Court decided in favor of Lee and he found him- self in possession of a graveyard. He had become owner of the ground where thousands and thousands of Union soldiers lay buried. The old family home, the fields, the graves, the lawns and the garden had been turned into a charnel house. Strange fate it was that the son of the great rebel Chief Sl1OulCl S116 T116 government for possession of the graveyard where were interred the remains of thousands of soldiers slain by his countrymen. ' It seemed so to him, and so 52 TI-IE ' C-LEAM. he sold his interest to -the government and left the -soldiers lie in ipeace on Arlington Heights. , Years later some devoted Southern women went to Arlington Heights to cover the graves of -the Confederate soldiers buried there with flowers. The keepers seeing the women on the grounds found out their rnission and removed the flowers to the graves of the Union -soldiers. During the night a fearful storm arose and in the morning the -flowers were upon the graves of the Confederate soldiers. The wind had blown- them backwhere they belong- ed, and left theeother graves bare. Thus we see that even the -wind throbbed with pity to see the lawns and gardens of the great general converted into the graveyard of those who had fought against him. K V Tourists travel to the Qld Countryv to- visit the'places which have be- come renowned from the,asso,ciation of some world-famed man or wo-man. They take long and diflicultjou-rnies. just-to be able to say they have seen such and such a place, their hearts, in mostcase-s are not touched, only their aesthe- tic nature isappealecl to.

Now- I aint sayin' that our Ieems is any dumber than any other folkfs young-uns, but I do say that there ain't none-o' them young Whipiper-snappers around these days that studies jist cause they wants to. I read tother day in the paper, that Ben Franklin or Thomas Jefferson or some-0' them poets said 'No lickin', no larnin', ani I agrees with him whoever he is. It takes a little taste of good stout hickory now and agin to make 'em pireciate the whole value o' books. But I reckon it Ione'ses boy gits along thare, why ourn can too. So it happened that bright and early the following Monday 111OI'11l1'1g, an outfit came up the street leading to the school building, that brought a smile to the-flipskof more than one passerby, and an outright laugh from many a care-free-school boy and girl. A scrawny, lame, crooked-legged horse with very conspicuous bonesfholding its headcontinually to onesiide that it. might see ahead with its one good eye, Was hitched to a vehicle 'Whose wheels ex- tended up at the sides of the seat like two great floppy wings. In the gig, sat a very studious and- intellectual looking country boy, wearing a wide brimmed straw hat, a high, stiff, white collar, which extended half way uphis thin neck, a green and red stripped tie, and a faded greenish browin suit. Fifteen minutes later a titter went around the English class, when a boy at least six feet tall, who looked seven, with his exceedingly long and bony legs and his like-wise long and bony arms, came into the room. Squeaking shoes 'drew attention to his feet, and if great feet support a great character, Jeems Jinkinsoifs 'character must certainly have been one of his strongest points. He took a back seat and his pointed knees protruded to a most alarm- ing height. The school year wore on and Jeems in the mean-while, was nick-named 'Daddy-long-legs. It was nearing the time of the athletic meet between the high schools of Kansas City and the surrounding vicinity, including the Inde- pendence High School. The boys were all practicing for thehigh and long jumps, these beino' the feats for which they had no es.pecially good entries. D jeenis was left out of every thing. He had many times been on the verge 54 THE GLEAM. of giving up school and wasjonly saved by H11 019130131116gquestlon from hls father or mother of: lfVell jeems, how ere you makin' it up at that thar school, without any good old hickory toihelp you over the tall places? or, you gittin' lots o' book larnin' from them fine feathered teachers, jeemsf And although he did not stand at the head of his class, neither was he at the foot, so he could always truthfully answer that he was doing Htollably well,' and start out with renewed determination not to mind the taunts of the boys, or the giggles of the girls, but hnish what he had undertaken. So, knowing all the time that he could easily out-do the best jumper, he continued to stand to one side and watch the others. But, one evening when no one was around, the temptation was too great. Witli an easy leap, he cleared the highest bar. Then with the aid of a short run his hee.ls hit square on tl1e ground some two feet beyond the mark of the best l-ong jumpers. Une seen by jeems, little Tony Simms had witnessed the performance, and without uttering a word, he ran 'to tell the boys assembled in the school building. Say fellers, he yelled, Yudorter seen 'Daddy' He jumped over the high bar jest as easy as a great big grasshop-p.er, an his feet jis lit as solid as a gob oi' mud. So Ieems was, without further argument chosen as a jump entry. ' The day of the meet arrived at last. The grandstand was 'packed until it seemed a seething mass of colors. Si and Mirandy jinkinson were there, dressed in their Sunday best. Pride sho-ne from their faces, and their eyes never left a tall and lank form with bony hands dangling from the sleeves of a coat long since outgrown, - The afternoon went onamid cheering and rooting on ,every side. The athletic coach of the Independence boys passed near Si and Mirandy, with a worried wrinkle in. his forehead. 'fYes it all depends onthe jumps, he was saying. If we -win them, we've got the day, but if we don't-, his expression told the rest. . The contestants for the jumps, trotted out on the held, jeems' red-brofwn head towering high above the rest.

Forntive solid minutes he sat there trying to decipher the unintelligible hieroglyrphics-before ihim, but to no avail. This was the first time a green pill had ever failed to do its duty. As a lastresort, Dub repeated the operation of forcing one down his throat, which still burned from his previous one. Soon after, he made the alarming discovery that the last tablet was for Algebra instead of German. The mixture had almost instant effect. Dub made a brave start on the lirst lines of Melchthal's speech, page Hfty-six, of Wlilliam Tell, but after finish- ing the first two verses his translation ran. thus 2 Thru the terrible mountains of Purenneu, A Upon the X2-l-2 mx:l- icelields, - Vlfhere only the QCX-I-aj 4-34,-8b4:O, croaksf' etc. Dubwas surely in bad. For once he had gotten a little more of that magic compound than he cared for. But period bells don't take pity on anybody's unprepared lesson, so Dub was hurried off to German class with but a very scant and somewhat mixed knowledge of the text. . A During the next period Dub escaped a rather disconcerting lecture by getting the teacher started on the subject of liquid air. T . The German period ended, Dubls 'iso1ids, and-at the sound of the bell he hurried down to the manual training shops, where he had been engaged at smoothing lumber for a foot-stool. Today was his day at the big box-like ma- chine, that stood in the far' corner of the roomy Things were very much changed from what they used to be. Instead of the old binch'w-ork appara- tus, there was now only the giant saws and planes and the big Stool-machine to be seen.- At this time grades were given on the speed instead of proficiency of work, so thus we find Dub feedingphis lumber into the jaws ofthe gigantic mac.hi,ne, which after a lapse of Hve minutes, turned out a lull grolwn foot- stool, stained, enameled, and upholstered. ' The last period was to be taken up by an entertainment in 'the Auditorium by the Dramatic Art students of the school. The entertaimnent was to be a reproduction of portion-s of the play The Littlest Rebel. But at the end of the third act the place 'was so full of smoke, caused from the battle, that the rest of the play was postponed until' the following day.

Now my wife made a special trip to the city just to price Easter hats. Oh, all women are that wv,ay, replied Jones, the grocer, as he skillfully moved his choice aprunes from under the Deaconls elbo-W, for the Deacon dearly loved prunes. ' Why Mrs. jones was up here yesterday looking up an old fashioned catalogue just to get a line on an Easter hat she had in mind. Well, my wife is going to get her hat through me or none at all, ven- tured farmer Hobbs. Talk is cheap. That ainit to go, I know. Mrs. Jones would not let me buy her hatf, That's right, bro.ke in Deacon Stubbs. ' I-Iuhf' responded Hobbs. It .goes this time for I have already' got the hat.

Deacon, of course I ain't going to buy my wife a snippy old thirty-eight cent hat, but I twill just look for curiosity that's all. ' And they did look. Are you going my way Hobbs? said Stubbs, and they parted, while jones behind the counter, began tocount the prunes the Deacon had consumed and added the cost to the Deacon's bill. He then called up Mrs. jones, a very huge lady by whose voice you could easily have imagined her size, twice the real one. I ' I VV'hat do you want ? bellowed the huge Mrs. jones. - , Well, I wanted to tell you that I am going to the city to- buy you an Eas- ter hat, so you need not buy any. Thomas, are you crazy!

THE GLEAM. 61 I he Svvninr 1312133 ,nf .1151 3 On Thursday. and Friday nights, the nineteenth and twentieth of Dece1n- ber, the Senior Class of 1913, presented their play, entitled Barbara, The Sweetest Girl in Dixie. The training and drilling of the characters was un- der the supervision of Mr. Addison D. Madeira, and the success of the presen- tation and excellence of the work of each character was a great compliment to his ability as a director. The action of the -play was excellent, the characters were unusually well chosen, and, with very few exceptions, the parts were well learned and very successfully'delivered. The scene of the play was laid in the South and repre- sented the life of an old colonel during Reconstruction Days. ' Miss Lulu Walker, as Barbara Howard, very charmingly played the part of The Sweetest Girl in Dixie. Her proud and haughty manner was a true portrayal of a Southern girl. In her pathetic passages, and her willingness to sacrifice herself for her father's sake in an effort to keep the family name clear, she again displayed some of the marked characteristics of a daughter of the- Southf' These passages were reallyrbetter than her love scenes, which seemed rather stiff. Love and respect for her father were brought out in scenes that were well played by Miss Wallce1'. Charles Foster, as Howard Emery, a Northern cousin, made a hit with the audience, more because 'of the part he played, than because of his acting, although no great criticisms can be given against it. His lovemaking scenes were pretty good, and he made a fairly good suitor. His bashfulness in telling Barbara of his love for her, his disgust at Aunt Caroline's interruptions of his talks with Barbara at a very crucial moment, and, at last, true love's victory, were all so cleverly brought out, that the sympathy of the audience was with him from the first. Ellis Fountain, in the role of Colonel Howard, carried out very consist- ently his part as a hospitable old Southern gentleman. One or two lapses of memory were satisfactorily covered up by his presence of mind. At times he climbed to the heights of dramatic ardor, as, for instance, when he produced that near coat-splitting laugh, and again when he was so jubilant over some sort of joke, which he himself cracked, that in his exultation, he collided with Aunt Caroline, causing the breaking of a plate and the spilling of the biscuits. He also showed some of the proud and hau.ghty spirit of a Southern gentleman, when he gave Matthew Martin a good thrashing for making some insolent remarles about his affairs, and for interfering with his daughter and his private business. i Matthew -Martin, a very grouc y 0 h ld Northern mill owner, WQHS cleverly -,minzza -- - 1- -1'-Lqizsgtziir.:M '3g':EQ,g1'g3jfg' ' ,wggh Y -s--, Y --.,-,.,..,. , .,,.,., 1 I THE GLEAM. , 63 represented by Edwin Carroll. His efforts to secure, the hand 'of Babbie in marriage, and afterwards, his deceitful way of forcing himself upon her through threats, and finally, when, through the efforts of Aunt Caroline, his plan was made known tothe Colonel, the way in which he tried to get revenge, but was beaten at his owngame, were parts that were simply excellent. Al- though his was the unpopular part of the villian, he accredited himself well in the eyes of an impartial critic. . s Matilda Martin the proud and haughty sister of Matthew Martin was very ably represented by Miss Ruth Vtfeeks. Her selfishness and eagerness to se- cure the Howard silverware, her talks with Colonel Howard about the mar- riage of Matthew and Barbara, and finally, her denunciation of the Howards, when, to the very great surprise of Matthew and his sister, the old Colonel handed Martin a check-payment in full for mortgage and interest, were parts that were exceptionally well acted, and do credit to 'Miss Weeks as a wo-uld- be spinster. Elizabeth Child got a laugh every time she came on the stage as Aunt Caroline, the old colored servant who had been in the family since long before the war. Her 'mastery of the negro dialect was exceptionally good. Her con- tinual quarrel and harassment of old Uncle George, her motherly attentions and interest in Barbara, and the way in which she showed her hatred toward Matthew Martin, were parts that were excellent. All through the performance she held the interest and sympathy of the audience, but more especially when she shielded Barbara from the onslaughts of the silver tongued Matthew, and when through her lettergram to Howard Emery, she saved the old family mansion and prevented disgrace from falling upon the venerable head of Colo- nel Howardf On the whole, Miss Child certainly deserves great credit for the very successful- delivery of her part. Harry Sturges, in the person of old George, the husband of Aunt Caroline, made a most. decided hit', with the audience. ' He certainly did make a good nigger. His hard work to keep from working, his interest in funny papers, his diplomacy in securing 'ftwo-bits from Howard,,Emery, and his perpetual nivousness,, were parts almost perfectly carried out. His illustration of rid- ing a bike, his marathron run around the table followed by Aunt Caroline, his draining of the wine glasses, and 'his speech and actions 'when he came in and found the room empty, were bits of humor that were very suggestively qlfglivel-ed, and certainly well enjoyed by the audience. The threatening atti- tude of Uncle George and Aunt Caroline in defense of Barbara, were passages that caused a great deal of laughter and sympathy. Nancy Lee Cogswell accredited herself well in playing the minor part Olf Mrs. Biggs, Pd Wliite Trash. Her visit to Colonel Howard's to secure but- ter, and her tale of woe was well received, when accompanied by the Smlmffg - ' - ' ristic and the sweeps of a sleeve across l1er nose, which habit WHS VC13' Charade 64 ' THE GLEAM. of -theiperson-'she so ably portrayc were also good.

THE GLEAM. 65 A NAUTICAL KNOTX' A Nautical Knot or the Belle of Barnstapoole, given by the High School Glee Clubs, April the llth and 12th, was certainly a triumph in every way. The music was splendid, the acting was good and the whole perform- ance was almost above criticism. The opera deals with the life of the sea, but both acts take place upon the land. Julia the Belle of Barnstapoolel' is devotedly loved by all the gallant sailor lads, whom she scorns to notice, and gives her heart into the keeping of Barnabas Lee, a wandering. artist. Then, thro-ugh a blunder of old Bill Salt, a knot in the chain of events occurs, which in the end is untied and the play closes with the promise of happy weddings in the near future. Mary Child, as Julia, was certainly a credit to herself, and to the whole school. Both as the haughty scornful Belle, and as the broken-hearted girl deserted by her lover, she played her part 'exceedingly well. Her clear high soprano was the wonder and admiration of all. It is always a delight to hear Ernest Roberts sing, and as Barnabas Lee, it was an added pleasure. His solo was beautiful and his duets were just as good. - The part of Nance was beautifully rendered by Helen Bridges. Her low, sweet voice seemed to suit exactly her songs. . The parts of the sisters, Daisy, Dora, and Delia, were well taken by Mary Kelley, Mary Leas and Lucile Bridges. A Vxlilliard Shale as Bill Salt was indeed a comic opera in himself. His part was a good one, and he certainly made it very realistic. He has a splendid voice, which he used to the best advantage. ' Joe Stout was the handsome, dashing Captain of the Bounding Billowf' This part was taken by Edward' Brackenbury. He looked very fine in his gorgeous uniform, and sang his part well. The choruses, too, were unusuallyrgood. The sailor costumes were very striking, adding greatly to the effect of the play. The dances were especially good, each person keeping perfect time and every movement was graceful. The notes rose higher and higher in triumph after all troubles had been set- tled. And now it was winding up in full jubilee-it was rising from the earth to heaven, the very soul seemed rapt away, and floated upwards on the swell- ing tide of harmony. i The opera was staged by Mrs. Georgia Brown of Kansas City, and her talent for effect was shown by the choruses. The music was under the direc- tion of Miss W'ilson and Mr. Sexton. The who-le affair was certainly a success and we can only hope for something just as good next year. T1-in GLEAM. 67 Glrgaitrla.

The fierce manifestations of elemental energy are heard by the multitude, but only the mind of an Agassiz, the 'listening ear of a Ruskin or the simple soul of a VVOI'ClSVVO'1Tll1, enter into the subdued passag-es of unob- trusive majesty. They hear and see the deep, the calm, the penpetual. They stand on the mountain peaks' and unfold to the world a vision 'of the Divine plan. When I sought to learn of crystals, I.found an old-new'volume. It is the Universe-the vast symbol of God. I found it written in celestial hierogly- phics of which even :prophets are happy when they can read here and there a line. Just as unfathomable as the life ol the Galilean is the crystal. Without this humble messiah of nature there is no life, there is no resurrection. Earth could not exist and we wouldnot dream of Heaven. This e-vangel preaches by act and word. Not an act but what embodies' a thought. It is visible and invisible. It is real-it is symbolic. . I . If I were 'a scientist, could tell the wonderful storyof atoms so minute that millions of them stand upon a needle's lpoint. I could-reveal t'he meaning of the architecture of a crystal snowflake.

A Sin cursed, pleasure-mad Florence heard a Savon- arola. In a frenzy of remorse, a flame kindled by the vanities of men, pene- trated the darkness.

Through revulsion and renewel they kept it in beauty, in order and in :perma- nence. The -spirit of progress saw the dawning and put on garments of life. A purifying light poured into the fissures of feudalism. Atom was rent from atom, rock from rock. In weaknessrwas found the principle of a new suprem- acy. Out of the anarchy of the mass there was the promise of the individual. A Dante moulded a new language. Artists revelled in an 'ecstasy of color. Genius rose supreme in the masterpieces of architecture, literature and art. As man's arts and industries attain perfectness, they go toward beauty. Carry the soot up to beauty. It becomes a diamond. Carry the face of a savage up to beauty, we stand before a Sistine Madonna. Carry arstone altar of sacrince up to beauty, we have a Cologne Cathedral. The crystal beautiful becomes the touchstone of human progress,. Lend charms and meaning to col- umn and canvas, to marble and masterpiece, then beauity moves -on into the mind and heart. From the. beautiful, man passed to the spiritual. A Luther, conscience-clear, stood before a -world which was bargaining in men's souls. No picture ever painted, no poem ever perfected, is comparable to a full orbed soul. Tight was suffused in every land, and out of force of 'heart and steadi- ness of p-urpose, out of an unconquerable purity of vital power and strength of s-pirit, all the dead substance was cast aside and Freedom of Conscience sent -the light of personal liberty. Every atom of the crystal was bright with coherent energy. The free spirit expressed itself in the invention of the com- pass, gun powder, printing-three wonder working instruments, revolumtion- izing old systems. The age of discovery, the age of conquest, the age pf en- lightenment! New continents and islands of the sea and our position in the solar svstem were discovered.

This has been, perhaps, the- most successful year in the history of this department, as more ofthe pupils are interested in art now than ever before. Especially is this true among the Freshmen and Sophomores. There is also a greater variety of work being done this year than in pre- vious years. A great variety of work, from- free hand sketches and crayon- xvork, to water color studies and applied problems in stencil and block print designs, are done. Especial attention is given to water color and charcoal work, however. Design work has been made agreat specialty this year, and some very attractive posters and book covers have been made. That We have an able instructor is easily proved by the class of work done. VVe have a splendid studio. It is large, light and well equipped, and those who take art will recall the time spent in it as some of the most pleasant hours at I. H. S. A ' The study of art is certainly one of the most -practicalpas well as one of the most refining studies in our school. It enables one to see and appreciate more, the really beautiful things in lifeg to distinguish the worthy from the vvorthlessq The time spent in the study of it is not wasted, even if the pupil does not become a Rosa Bonheur or a Michael Angelo. I It is a deplorable fact th-at but few of the boys of our school are interested in the study. Those who have taken iteup have been very successful. Boys, it is really worth your while, Why not try it? 1 The competitionfor the art medal is the big thing at the end of the year, for advanced pupils. In this contest we see pupils patient' labor culminate into most beautiful specimens of art. , judging from the great interest taken in this subject, and the quality of the work done, We predict for this department a much greater future.

To The Gleam :- Your letter requesting a few alumni notes for The Gleami, has been re- ceived, and I take great pleasure in answering it. I should like very much to write a little summary on the experiences of each member of 1Tly class, but unfortunately I am not familiar with the indiv- idual details. So I can only speak for myself with authority: K'The last two years I have been doing research work for the University of Missouri. The problem I ,am Working -on now, is to investigate and deter- mine the condition of underground waters in Missouri. This is of great im- portance to prospectors, mines, railroads and towns not adjoining suitable rivers. A period of ten or more years should be devoted to this work for a complete report, but I shall finish a short outline by the first of next June. lNith the kindest regards to all the 1913 Class of' the Independence I-Iigh School, I remain, ' Yours very truly, ALEX IWM.

VVe had many discussions, as perhaps hyoul are having now, over justiwhat should be said about each member of t 'e c ass, and over what literary matter should be accepted or rejected. Sometimes we felt that the faculty did not half appreciate our efforts in be-half of the biggest and best Gleam ever published, but when the book came -from the press, what a glow of pride we felt when we saw our very own words in printed form! How strange it is then, that of all the books, the very first words: Down to the haven, - Call your companions, Launch your vessel, And crowd your canvas, And ere it vanishes, O'er the margin After it, follow it, Follow the Gleamf' are the only ones that stay with me today.

Every senior considers the Alumni Reception a great event of the yearg and, when, on Friday evening, April 18th, two hundred and fifty guests filled the halls and class rooms of the Independence High School, the class of 1913 watched with pleasure the meeting of old school friends to review the trials and triumphs of their almost-forgotten school days. n I The rooms were decorated e in the colors of the preceding classes, and with ferns and flowers, they were made so attractive that it was scarcely pos- sible to recognize ones Englishtoif. Latin class-room. In the hall under a huge black andgold 'l3, the guests were received by ,Miss Louise Bundschu, Miss Fanny Lew McCoy, Miss Elizabeth Child, Miss Bess Hatch, Miss Ruth Kelley, Mr. Rice Pendleton, Mr. Marvin johnson and Mr. Charles Foster. In the two principal reception rooms punch was served by Miss Ruth Weeks and Miss Dorothy Georgen. L It was about nine thirty when Mr. John Hudson, who Ofracefully' filled the Z: role of Master of Ceremony, invited the Alumni to the Auditorium where a program was rendered. The iirst number was by Miss Claudine Mundy, after which Mr. Henry Bundschu made a few well a violin. solo by MissrAlice3Roberts, accompanied THE GLEAM. t 87 chosen remarks. Miss Lucile Hatten and Miss Thelma Porter gave very charming readings, and a delightful vocal solo was rendered by Miss Mary Crump. Professor Bryant was on the program for a speech, but having mys- terously- disappeared, Cprobably to investigate a peculiar banging on the doorsj a quotation contest was entered into with great interest and competition by all. Miss Louise McCoy was awarded the prize, a volume of famous quota- tions. ' Refreshments were served alter the program and about eleven o'clock the guests took their departure, leaving a tired, but happy group of Seniors, dis- cussing- the incidents of the evening and 'looking forward to that time when they could participate in the reception, not as seniors-but as .Alumni of the Independence High School. t - LOUISE BUNDSCHU.-'l3. . W-Il--Q M MARCH ,4TH. . For the first time in the history of our High School, an inauguration pro- gram was given in Assembly. The program was timed so t'hat when Mr. Wil- son Was taking the oath of office in Vxfashington, the school would be listen- ing to the program given in his honor. - The program was given by Miss Phelp's civics class and consisted of an explanation of the presidential election andinaugural festivities, Iefferson's inaugural address, and anaccount of the life of VVilson. It was but natural that the whole school should be enthusiastic over the inauguration, since tl1e campaign and election had aroused such universal interest ,and the spirited delivery of the speeches, added much to the interest of the program.

FAMILIAR FACES IN THE CULTURE FACTORY. The Peroxide Blonde was sending notes across the aisle to the Village Limit. The Chemical Coquette wa.s tryi-ng to flirt with the grind, a pure, white soul, who makes sonnets by hand, and was at the moment embroidering a canto. Those slurs of the eyelashes! Those melting smiles which would make a heart of stone mellow to the consistency of a baked apple-all wasted on the desert air. For he had locked his heart up in a safe and had forgotten the com- bination. The Walkiiig Argument had, for once, a -pressing engagement with the Ablative Absolute. Of the 90 lbs. the Intellectual Pallor carried, about 45 were gray matter. Hg had mental merchandise to burn, but was brushing up for the linal History Examination. Ah! the morrow was a day to be awaited with dread, endured with courage, and forgotten with haste, for during one of the Presiding Genius exams, a friend who is very near and dear, is as useless as a relative. ' ' Suddenly the atmosphere of academic calm was penetrated by a paper wad, which bore evidence of expert workmanship. The Recording Angel put aside the Judgment Book and focused her Starry-Opticians upon the Un- quenchable American, who puckered up his face like a relief map of the Appa- lachian Mountains, and began to talk-with his tongue down his throat. For- bidden things are so much nicer than unforbidden, he just 'fnatchally'? loves to do them until theyfre done. But if overcoming difficulties makes character, then he will have as many characters as the Chinese Alphabet. The Fish Scientist was busy mapping out a Bluff, for, give him one bone and he can tell you all the rest. The Senior Soubrette, who her life concentrated on anything more difficult than ice cream soda water, was running a little Sunshine Factory all her own. By tampering with the neva- b tive, the Successful Photogra-pher was rearranging the maiden's misfit features into a work of art. It was even rumored he had put the Big Financier, who had developed a gloom which surrounded him like- a morning fog, before tl1e Bull's Eye, and had told him to think of' money, which had made the Big Fi- nancier smile so broadly that he had to hold his ears 'back to keep them :from falling in. The Economic Student had decided that, although every man is the architect of his fortune, his wife usually superintends the construction.

However, as he spent about four-thirds of his time Waiting for the Muse to keep her appointment, and, in the meantime could ladle out the soothing syrup and never spill .a drop, nothing but a Post Mor- tem Examination would have shown him up in his true light.

Music plays a part, more or less, in almost everyone's life, but one does notpneied to be a great musician to appreciate music. , - ' Ani effort has been made to increase this appreciation by means of the Glec Clubs. The Girl's Glee Club have organized, and under Miss Wilsoi1's direction, they have accomplished much, besides enjoying themselves, for all work and no play makes jack ba' dull boy. They have sung in public twice, once in the morning assembly and again at the Teachers Institute. The two Glee Clubs, Girl's and Boysi, have now combined their forces in one effort to present a light operetta, The Nautical Knot, under the direction oi Miss WVilson and Mr. Sexton. Besides this, they are carrying on their usual practice each Thursday. The Glee Club does not expect to turn out great prima donnas, but it does much to promote the interest of those, especially, who have exceptional talent. The song is a branch ot music which peculiarly sweet, and its effect is more lasting than almost any other art.

Lswisfza THE FOOTBALL TEAM AND A REVIEW OF 1913 SEASON. The football material that came out to practice this fall was composed of, for the most part, new men to the game who had to be taken as raw recruits and trained into football players. At the first of the season the team had not been half organized and the prospects for a good football team for this season looked pretty bad, It was under those conditions that we played our first and second game, both of which were with the Beaver Club of Kansas City. W7e were defeated both games with a score of 0 to 16 and O to 13, respectively. These two games, although we were badly defeated in both, afforded our team excellent practice, and did much to round our boys into what might be termed a football team at least. Our third game in which we defeated a team colmfposed of former high school stars of I. H. S., by a score of 6 to O, showed the benefit we had derived from the Beaver games. Next followed a game with the second VV1ll1am Jewell College team, in which our boys, Hshot to pieces . This was probably Z3 due to the fact that our regular quarter, Ernest Roberts, was not allowed to ala the entire Game on account of sickness. XfVe were defeated by the score of l Y c, ' 0 to 27. Four first team men of NVilliam Jewell assisted in this massacre, however but even at that we held them scoreless in the first and third quarters. J In these frames we had been improving all the time and the team was in 6 line condition when we played the Liberty Highs, Nov. 8, defeating them with a score of 23 to 7. The score was 7 to O against us in the first half, and we G. K. R. scored 23 points in the last two quarters. 102 .THE C-LEAM. 1. H. s. vs. LIBERTY HIGH scHooL.

Roberts' running mate, and the two made an excellent pair of guards. 1i-1:1..-.T I GUY RUDD. , A favorite of the crowd, was Guy Rudd.

X 1 The G-leam of 1913 stands as a final monument to the outgoing class. It is true that many Annuals are in a large measure forgotten by all but the members of the class, but there is an occassional one, that stands out and above the others. It has been our cherished 'hope that oufr's might be one of these. The publication of this book marks the beginning of the end, for each student must work his own Way, we cannot go arm and arm, as in the past years, but we can carry a Way the 'fGleam as a remembrance of our former association. 1:3 . The 'price of the Gleam has been increased this year owing to the lack of funds to produce a book worthy of the School. The Gleam first was pub- lished on a small scale, and was strictly a Senior publication. But with each issue it Wias increased, in volume and annual in the West. Although the size of the Gleam has increased b lea s Y P and bounds, the ip-rice has remained the same. It is not a question of price J 'but a feeling of loyalty that should be uttermost in the heart of the student d h J an t ose who are in any way connected with the High School. We there- fore feel the increase in price has in no way injured the circulation of our book. beauty, and it is now equal to any school THE GLEAM. 113 This year the Gleam Staff has undertaken to make this a book of the school, rather than a Senior publication, and we have tried in some way to interest each and every student. VVe have added a page of freak pictures, and for those who might wrongly construe them, we say that we intended thege pictures not as slams or personal jokes, but a mean's to bring forth a good hearty laugh. - p It is fitting that we should mention in some vvay the progress and devel- opment, of the Independence Public Schools, and especially the Central High School, which is sacred to all I, H. S. students. The school system of Independence, had it's beginning September 4th, l866, but it was not until the year of 1898, that bonds -were voted and the High School erected. From that date to the present, the High School has expanded materially and intellectually In 1907 an additional building was constructed and was devoted to classrooms and a large Public Libraiy At the present greater plans aie under consideiation for an extended and bet ter High School which will advance all phases of school life Pvery student deems it a peisonal piivilege to be able to call some scl ool his own, and perhaps in later yea-is he in 111 return to his school and again live in memory the glorious life of a student 'Ihe Staff is greatly indebted to Harry Rudd who s clear and attractive pictures are found scattered throughout these pages GLEAMLETS sitions are that they cannot be read VVc don t agree with the boy who said A desert 1S a place where noth ing will Grow And we feel Prof Bryant and Elliott are of the same opinion Marvin Johnson said discussing athletics VVe should obtain a stiong arm for the future Qur advice to him is a little 111OfC CXCTCISC With U16 Blble it 15 a great fire escape In one of Senior reports Charles Poster was a little stiff in l11s l0VC making this was probably due to his lack of exlwflence If 15 needless to say Charles took the h1nt I J g , S ' - ,' N- Ac L - k' - ' - - , 1 Y H- , , X ., M .
