Qlinglish Prize Rssayj he first name in the w0rld's Shakespeare is the poet paramount. His is t literature as it is the first in English literature. All ages have revereigced . - ' , t' him with almost hero worship and so firmly has his genius become roo. 'e -in Me'n's hearts that each succeeding generation tries to rival theupast with reiterated praisese of his greatness. It is essential, however, in a critic to 'study him from a standpoint of Hbardolatry. Dowden has said that his fame is still in its great morning. Hugo has nobly expressed his interpre- tation of Shakespeare's greatness in these lines: To look upon the soul of Shakespeare is to look upon the ocean. One fact is true, at least, that never has his greatness been recognized more fully than in this year, 1916-the tercentenary of his death. The world seems like a staigeg the numerous celebrations in this bard's honor, the play, and Shakespeare, the central figure on whom the eyes -of the world are turned. It has been said that in military annals the big four are Hannibal, Alexander, Caesar and Napolean-in music, Mozart, Beethoven and Wagnerg and in literature, Homer, Dante, Shakes- peare and Goethe. Three hundred years have proved, however, that in literary annals the name Shakespeare must be omitted from the big four list and must stand alone-pre-eminent, transcendent-as the master of all litera-ture. . - A Genius is the clearer presence of God Most High in man. Shakes- peare is 'a world genius because of his power to accurately delineate in de- tail all human emotions such as life, death, love and dernoniacal powers. His genius is undisputed for his works bear adequate testimony of his superiority and his greatness seems more wonderful to each succeeding generation. His talent is apparent because he gives unparalleled poetic eX- pression and because his cop-ious use of imaginative, rhythmic -and atmos- pher1c words and expressions. He is a genius, paramount, because he has appealed to all classes--the Elizabethians, Cavaliers, Puritans of the seven- teenth century, formal dramatists and poets, revolutionisits and intellectual realists of today. In his own terminology his genius may thus be under- 'stood-his power to mirror nature. ins iliggjjvlgilg' 15 the Onllf POC? Who approaches, Shakespeare in creative and P ' POWCTS. His skill in dealing with the unreal is one of the iiriiiiolvedl eigtmas. M. Reine Doumic of the Firench Academy has said: e artist 1S not the one who has felt the most, but he who i-5 the best - LVQTL T he ,ig EAS 47 EN. L1...2HC...fJg endowed to imagine states ot feeling and to give reality to expression of themf Shakespeare accomplishes this task. l-Tis power to clothe unreal creatures in the dramatic spirit and recognizable physical lineaments is un- surpassed for the essence of his poetry springs from the invisible. 'Take for example Ariel, a creature of the sea, Puck, the witches in Macbeth or the ghost in I-iamlet --these visionary creatures are so human in every detail that we doubt their unrealness. In fact Shakespeare 'ctouched nothing that he did not adorn. Like Browning. he needs narcotic rather than stimulantf' He combines his power to show the truth in all human attri- butes and succeeds so well that Dumas has said that after God, Shakes- peare has created most. V Wfilliam the Great, of England, was born to be king, so was Shakes- peare born to be a dramatist. In Shakespeare the drama reached its highest pinnacle. Balzac did for the French novel and Emerson for the essay what Shakespeare did for the drama. He made Humanity his topic. In Cym- belinei' we Find the keynote to his success as a dramatist: All the learnings of his time, Could make him the receiver of 25: it he took As we do air, fast as ministered, And in Spring became a harvestf, Although out of the thirty-nine dramas Shakespeare wrote, only two of his plots are original, his fame and greatness is not questioned. He breathed the flame of humanness into his characters and thus immortalized himself. Only a portion of his dramatic personae bear English names. Having not traveled outside ot England, he wrote of the people in the metropolis in which he lived. London, however, was the gathering place ol foreigners, therefore he met his Othello, Iago, Cleopatra, Juliet, Orisino and Shylock in his own city, and his greatness lies in his ability to photo- graph their race traits and tell the world the truth concerning them. Like Tennyson, Shakespeare is an artist in giving his women and his plays appropriate and appealing captions. His Women have beautiful and inspirational names, such as Rosalind, Cordelia, Imogene, Desdemona, Jessica and Juliet. His female characters are remarkable for their humaness, but lack the religious element. Shakespeare excels both in tragedy and comedy. .ifalstaff in Henry TVN and 3vl'erry Yhives of VX7indsor,' is the most difficult comic role, as Macbeth is the most difficult tragic role. Shakespeare's 'tMacbeth is only approached in greatness by Browning's i'Pippa Passes. Sl1akespeare's descriptions are also unequaled. The coming of night in 'fv'laclmetl1', and the loveliness oi the beautiful passage in HA Midsummer Night's Dream are descriptive contrasts which only this great bard is capable of giving. His genius made the England of Elizabeth an exhalation.

Shake- speare's ability to photograph the world has gained for him the eplfheti The wise Shakespeare-reading maketh a full manf' Sh-akespearenwas a full reader, observer and assimilator. He tells the truth, portrays life and depicts the attributes peculiar to all nations. He has a message for the sage, the lover or the maiden. He is a greater proverbialis-t than Solomon. He possessed th.e. wisdom of life, plus imagination and human powers. Indeed, he was a teacher sent from God. Shakespeare also won fame as a lyric poet and sonnet writer. '!It was essentially a lyric age, and the England of Elizabeth was a nest of singing birds. Sidney, Bacon, Marlowe, Raleigh, Surrey, Spencer and Jonson adorned the court of-Elizabeth. As a lyric poet his power lies in the genius of -the piece. He puts the sea in one line and bathes his thoughts with the golden splendor of the age, His lines have beautiful euphronism, yet so well connected to foregoers and followers they satisfy the logicians. Thus his means was ideal, The best example of his lyric poetry is to be found in As You Like It? The greatness of his Sonnets rest on their merit as Z1 whole. They are inimitable. He is essentially artistic and even in his Sonnets. Keats has detected the dramatic strain. The influence of the sea is also felt in his poetry and in fact someone has said that the sea meant as much to poetry as it did to the city of London. Music and lyric poetry are inseparable. Shakespeare has been called a word musician. Thus he holds no mean place as a lyric poet and sonnet writer. There is nothing in any of our love poets, however great or deep th-oughted, lovely or frag- rant or tender, that we cannot find in Shakespeare, too, in utterance more golden, in words of more thrilling majesty or bloom. A The fact Shakespeare is claimed by all nations proves him the poet paramount. Shakespeare's contemporaries formed the :greatest constella- tion smce the time of lfefcles in Greece t tl f ll f ' , ve iey a ailed to recognize a master. Two hundred years passed before his greatness became 'fully re- ahgei. Now Germany idolizes him, France and England reverence him, in ta1Y,qDS111U2fk, RL1SS1a and America love him. Of all the nations, OWCVCY, C1G1'I11a11y has proved most loyal in her devotion for the bard. G In 1864 aiGe1'maU Shakespea-1'C?l1l Society was formed.

The musicians also have contributed their skill and immortalized their names by composing music for his dramas, Such illustrious names as Mendelssohn, Schumann, NVagner and Bulow stand out prominenitly as representative in this line. The artists also have been inspired by Shakespeares works and have skill- fully pronounced their conception of his genius by the portraits drawn from his characters, Thurman and Gruetzner have formed the nucleus of the Shakespearean Art Galleries in Germany. .jkmerica has paid her small trib- ute a.nd has the honor oi giving the world the Furness addition of Shakes- peare's works, the most complete that has yet been compiled. Thus every age, generation and nation has paid this master poet homage. Shakespeareis genius will never be sequestrated. This is proved by such signilicant lines as Shakespeare was not for an age but for all time, and again, :'Shakespeare is not our poet, but the worlds lt has been said that Shakespeare was by birth a citizen ol the world: by chance a citizen of England. XX'hen Shakespeare was introduced into Germany by Lessing, he revolutionized the literature: in the same proportion was his iniiuence felt on the literature of every other nation. Shakespeare's fame cannot be localized, but his infiuence sweeps over the universe like the waves of the mighty ocean and cannot be restrained. There is ever an 'leternal halo on his brow. Further proof ol his greatness lies in the fact that his works are proclaimed second only to the Bible. More has been written about this prince of literature than any other man: each age has praised him excessively and all agree on his greatness, but fail to agree on an interpretation of his great- ness. His versatility, range of theme and power to visualize have made his name immortal and his fame transcendent and justihed the name of Shake- speare above all others to hold the illustrious place as the poet paramount. ln the words of XV. L. Phelps, his greatness may be summarized: Shake- speare has the whole world at his feetg men and women of all nations are proud to do him homageg one can not even conceive of any futlure state of civilization where he will not' r'eign. i ' Martha Kathryn Robinson-'16, 3 V 5---'Mi V .,-., 0 he EA l ,ffl gb T'4n'L...B.J5 EABY, THE MIGHTY. -.-4...

I11 the doorway sat a H1311 evidently in the decline of life. Slow puffs of smoke curled about'his grey head, as he dreamily handled his pipe, and gazed absently up at the peak of Spire Mountain. Slowly l1e stroked tl1e head of his only friend and companion, Yip, a full blood coyote, which he had captured some years before. ' I-Ie began to speak i11 a slow meditating tone, Hear tl1at partridge, Yip? Tl13tiS a sure sign of rain, boy. VV'e will get it before morning. See that haze hanging O11 tl1e Spire? It's going to be a corkerf' He had grown used to talking to Yip, as l1e would a fellow man. Far up the mountain, a cougar on the track of l1is prey gave vent to his anxiety, as l1e lost the trail. The coyote moved restlessly. Shucks, boy, won't you ever get over that feeling to be wild again F inquired tl1e hermit. 'fYou have beena good companion, lad. Carefully l1e knocked the ashes from his pipe and -stood up. '4VVell, let's go in, Yip-. I've a HCYV tree to strip tomorrow. So saying he turned and entered the cabin. He struck a light, illuminating a room sparsely furnished. In one cor- ner stood a dilapidated stove against which the tire wood was piled. I11 one corner a table leaned on its insecure legs. At the end of the room was his bed, made of split saplings over which spruce boughs had been laid. The walls were bare except for a dirt begrimmed blue and white pennant, on which were the words Class of '85.,' The man returned to the door and called Yip, who was still sitting on l1is haunches with ears alert and muzzle outstretched, snifhng the air. Wha,t's the matter, boy? You aren't afraid of a little rain, are you? just then he heard the neighing of a horse, below i11 the valley. Yip gave a sharp bark and started down the trail, but was stopped abruptly by the hermit's com- manding voice. Come here, you! Get i11 the house. You know I don't want any pestering people here. He closed the door as Yip came in and stood as if addressing the pellllallt. There was a time wl1en I didn't avoid people, but things are changed now. Let's See, l1ow long ago was it? Thirty years? Yes, it was just thirty years ago tomorrow since I started. L4...

Dawn faintly showed through a gap in the mountain. - The hunters looked in vain for something to ease their hunger and cold, but all was gone, Their first thought was of their horses. The guide came running hack with the news that the horses had slipped their picket and vamoosed. The extent of their dilemma gradually broke upon the eastern- ers. No food, no fire. and a promising walk of forty miles to a railroad. lint just as their spirits were at lowest ebb, the tramp of horses was heard, 'followed by the sharp bark of a dog. The bushes parted and a man appeared leading three horses, at whose heels a shaggy, sharp nosed coyote trotted. The hunters set up a shout of joy as they sawy the horses, but the man cut them short with These your horses? lute fairly threw the words at them, and without giving them time to answer went on: You ought to learn to tie a horse before you start camping. instead of leaving them to disturb a man hy stamping around outside his cabin.

He paid no attention to them as they trouped in. Finally he looked up and said 'fXNell, why don't you cotne on over and get warm, instead of sitting back there like a bunch of fool hens ? The oldest hunter spoke up. lust a minute, man. I want to thank you for your timely services, but at the same time Tm not used to being talked to that way.

As he spoke the hermit's game shifted to the pennant and the hunter's eyes followed. Slowly he raised his hands to his eyes as if to brush away some orb- structing object. He took a step backwards and stared spellbound at the pennant. The Class of 'Si Semper I-'edelus,': he muttered, He turned to the hermit. Man, man, where did you get it? Are you of the old school ? The hermit's voice broke as he answered, Maybe I found it, Chubby, maybe .l found it. Suddenly recovering himself, he added: W7hat's the odds. it's here?

Man, you were cleared of steal- ing that money years ago, the real criminal confessed, You have been an ideal to the students of the old school, as one who, rather than bring dis- grace to the school, took the responsibility of the theft and died, rather than expose the professor who committed it. .I A heavy load seemed to have been lifted from the hermit's shoulders. He took the hunteris extended hand. VVell, well, so I'm a hero back at the old school, am I? His features were distorted- With strong emotions, as he continued: Chubby, itfs all right to be a dead hero, but I'd,rather be a living coward back in a civilized country, This life of mine has been mighty monotonous. I don't know what I would have done if it hadn't been for Yip. Remember our class mascot, the coyote? That's why I got him. After the introductions were over between VVestland and the youngest hunter, Mr. Hastings turned to his son and said: Billy, after you get breakfast, take the guide and go to town after the supplies. We wOn't end our hunt as early as we intended. . Long after the moon had reached. the top of the Spire, two men sat by the fire and fought over again the gridiron battles of their college days. A silence finally fell. between them. Outside, Yip sat on his haunches and mournfully howled at the moon. What's the matter with that coyote, VVestland ? Why, don't you know, Chubby. That's the mascot celebrating our graduation anniversary. How long ago did you say it was? Yes, 'twas just thirty years ago today. ERSKINE ROBINSON.-'17, I K 1 116 ' ECG..-JH E.JE MR.

Prize Essayj Social conditions in the South were hardly favorable for any very great or numerous literary creations. The lack of towns, the Widely separated population, the aristocratic nature of the civilization, depending on slave labor, the absorption of the people in political questions, especially the ques- tionrof slavery, the attitude -toward literature as a professionl, the poverty of public educaltion, the extreme conservatism and isolation of the South, and finally the Civil lVar and -the period of Reconstruction after it, were all inliuences which served to retard the development of literature in the South. ' The one who studies the 'South's greatest poets, however, finds them worthy of note for certain distinguishing qualities, The wealth of sunshine inundating the southern plains, the luxuriance of foliage and flowers, and the strongs contrasts of light and shade and color, are often reflected in the work of southern writers. ' ' Of the great number of writers of verse in the South, between 1805 and 1860, nearly all have been, justly, almost wholly forgotten, there being few works of very high order produced. Richard :Henry Wfilde, Albert Pike, Alexander Beaufort Meek, james Barron Hope and Theodore CTI-Iara have each written one or more p-oems quite worthy of beingmplaced in any auth- ology of'American Poetry, for which they will be remembered as the rep- resentative poelts of the South before the Civil 'lNar. ' Wilde's melancholy lyric on -the vanity of life, 'My Life Is Like the Summer Rose, is very widely known and' his sonnet ',To the Mocking Bird and his 0de to Easef' while somewhat void of the 'finely essentia.l qualities f l b o tie est lyrics, held a highlplace in southern literature. Nature, love and sectional patriotism are the prevailing themes of Alex- ander Beaufort Meek's volume of poems, and it '. 'l ' is ciaracterized by a vol- ubility of language. His lyric The Mockino' Bird easily ianks 'tl l ' e - ' ' W1 1 tie best of southern productions. VVhy is't the sylvan Petrarch Pours all day his serenade? 'Tis for some proud woodland Laura His sad sonnets all are made. Theodor O'I-I , W - 6, ' - - , inspired by the Mexican ar, is a most excellent example of an appropriate expression of 31'3,S Bivouac of the Dead U ' ' the elegiac I K he ,Q EA5 57 EU'l1.1,l1KlfJS i' mood: as purely martial lyric. it has not been surpassed by any other American writer. blames Ryder Randall's Klarylancl, My Maryland, a poem which still has power to stir the patriotic feelings, was the beginning of a martial choir, called 'forth by the breaking out ol the Civil Xfl-lar, which was made up of many voices, chanting the hercely patriotic mood of the hour. Virginians ol the Valley, by Francis O. Ticlcnor, deserves a high rank among patriotic poems on account ol its stirring appeal. Ticknor is also the author of Little Giffen ot' 'l'ennessee,l' a lyric that tells so perfectly in simple, direct moving verse, the heroism of a soldier lad from the plain people that it must be classed with the best of its kind in America. But theie are only four really representative ante-bellum southern poets who are remembered for the body ot their work rather than for an occasional poem-Nvilliam Gilmore Simms, Edgar Allan Poe, Henry Timrod and Paul Hamilton llayne. And it is doubtful whether Simms, as prodigiously pro- lific as he was, will live for the future through anything more than a 'few poems. Simms has written a htting epitaph to his own stormy and sad life: Here lies one, who, alter a reasonably long life, distinguished chiefly by unccasing labors, has lett all his better works undone, a remark that poig- nantly suggests the ungathered sheaths ot many another southern genius. The greatest name in southern literature is that of Edgar .Allan Poe, and he is the one man oi literary genius whom the South produced -before 1860. l'oe's achievement in his sphere is simply unmatched in American letters, either in mood or artistic perfection of form. The weird uncanniness of some of his poems, the vague. evasive mystisism of others, the strange romanticisni, the poignancy ol the mood ol sorrow and despair with which they are charged, all appropriately and adequately sung with an exquisitely haunting melody, easily place them in a class by themselves. It would be diihcult to name a poet ol' any race or age who has surpassed Poe in ex- quisite melody. No matter what his theme, his verse has something of the quality which he ascribed to the lair Ligeia: Ligeia! Ligeial My beautiful one Y-Nhose harshest idea 'Wlill run to melodyli' lt is futile to discuss the question to whether Poe belongs to the South or is some rare exotic transplanted from far realms. His detachment trout contemporary ideas, his persistent lyrical mood, the melancholy at- mosphere which pervades his art, his sentimentality, the romantic quality of his imagination, are certainly more southern than anything else. Simplicity and sincerity of language, theme and feeling are special 'S . he D l ffl gc-1..n?r...eJg . . . - 1 lume of verse character1st1cs ot the contents of Henry Timrod s one small vo ' i , . - ics of the which contains some of the most spontaneous nature and love IYT . . . . .- ier cause South.

Stoop angels hither from the skies! There is no holier spot of ground Than where defeated valor lies By mourning beauty crowned! Timrod's most intimate friend, Paul Hamilton Hayne, his ear finely attuned to harmonious arrangementvof sounds, was also aski-lled craftsman. He was the connecting link between Poe and Lanier. The chief character- istic of his finest poetry are a tender love of naiture, a profusion of iigurtive language, a gentle air of meditation, a delicacy of feeling and a conscientious workmanship. In McDonald's Raid and Ae1thra he showed some power of narrative Verse, but his muse was at her best in the simpler forms of lyric poetry, and his poems revealing the picturesqueness of southern land- scapes and the melody of southern birds are more characteristic. These dainty lines show the limpid ease and grace of his poetry: A tiny rift within the lute May sometimes make the music mute, By slow degrees the rift grows wide, H By slow degrees he tender tide- I-Iarmonious once-of loving measure fraught, Until the heart's Arcadian breath .Lapses through discord unto death? Another very popular poet of the South is Abram IosephiR an crem- erally known as Father Ryan, He voiced the despair of his peopleyand their loyalty to the lost cause of the South. In som of his religious faith is predominant, but it was the note of Sentime ,E d - n s an melancholy that centered about the overthrow ,gf Sgutheyn hopes W1-lich madf. him the most popular poet of the South.. In his pathetic poem The Co quered Banner he gives expression to the woe of a heart-broken eo le and his reverence for Lee as a peerless leader is shown in his stir ' o-If u Sword of Robert Lee: rmb ync The Forth from its scabbard!

Qlrvin Russell introduced a distinctly southern type of verse, aborunding in local color, in his delineation of 'negro types and dialect. He presented nearly every phase of negro life. f'He couldn't 'a' talked so nachel Bout niggers in sorrow and joy, Wliddouten he had a black mammy flft sing to him, long ez a boy. Sidney Lanier, the South's strongest singer since the Civil War,.pos- sessed of a rich poetical endowment, a passion for music, an intense love of nature and a soul on tire with ideals, and the one man of the period who deserves to be ranked with the greater poets of America, embodies in his works certain characteristic qualities--enthusiasm, emotionalism, sentiment and lack of restraint-which are the sources of his strength as Well as his limitations. The premier inliuence of Lanier's life was love and some of his love poems, My Spring, In Abscencef' Evening Song, rank among America's greatest. Strong personal love, tender pitying l-ove for humanity, an impassioned love of nature and a reveren.t love of God are found in Lanier. He says that 'fmusic is love in search of a word. No other American poet except Poe has invented such musical effect. The song of the robin, the sparkle of sunshine and the pure joy of living burst forth from the anomothopoetic lives of Tampa Robins, one of Lanier's finest lyrical outbursts: The robin laughed from the orange tree, Ho windy North, a fig for theeg While breasts are red and wings are bold, And green trees wave as globes of gold, Times scythe will reap but bliss for me, Sunlight, song and the orange tree. The Song of the Chattahoocbeef, witlrits perfect rhymes, rhythm and alliterations, is another of his great successes in melodious lyrics. But his noblest, most characteristic and original poem is The Marshes of Glynn. One might be sure of Lanier's fame if he had written no other poem than this. if Lanier and Poe were not far apart in their ideals of the formal side of poetry, they were far removed in the substance of their Work no less than in their lives and characters. In the complete mastery of his art, Poe was incoinparably greater than Lanierg in this respect there is all the difference of perfection and imperfection, of achievement and aspiration.

STUDENT CO-OPERATION. -Z+1 Among the many reforms which have been introduced into Independ- ence High School during the present year, probably none has tended to in- crease the spirit of the school more than the inauguration of a Student'Co- operation Plan. The present student co-operation plan is nothing more than an intro- duction to student government. The plan has been very successful since its introduction and promises to develope into one of the most important factors of high school life. Student government is an inovation that, although new to the Inde- pendence High School, has been tried very successfully by many of the high schools and colleges throughout the state. The purpose of this form of government is to bringthe students and the 'faculty-into a closer under- standing by sharing responsibilities. ,The present ofheers of the student body are president, vice-president, seeretary-treasurer, pianist and yell leader. The officers are elected at the beginning of each semester. The enthusiastic spirit of th school is largely due to the ready support that the officers have shown all high school activ- mes. 66 Q 5 gi 'PIT to - .xo I .1 i,FT...e 4' 'Q . X ij Ill.

The halls and rooms were beautifully and artistically decorated in the class colors, green and gold, In thepcenter hall was a fountain--a real, sure enough fountain-with palms and pla.nts all around it. About 9 o'clock we were invited down into the auditorium, where, for our benefit, the juniors gave Father and the Fratsf' VVe were very anxious to see the juniors display their talent, because their previous Christmas play had been such a diierent sort of play that our interests were more than aroused. ' But Father and the Fratsw went off without a break. The old saying there's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip didn't survive a-midst the triumph of the juniors. 1 Read Phipps, as Pete Curran, the much abused freshman, suffered such agony that the audience fairly wept for fear he wouldn't survive. But the crowning joy ofthe evening was Mrs.', Lester Etzenhouser, VVe would hardly have known our quiet, demure Naomi Eisenhart as the bragging, for- ward Marion Vance.

Formany years it has been the custom at the high school to celebrate 'Washington's birthday by patriotic selections in verse and. song, Nor did the students on this last occasion fail to respond to the popular custom, which eventually brought them together in the auditorium, Monday afternoon, February Zl.. The decorations were very appropriate. The colors-red, white and blue-were in prominence everywhere and a large American flag, draped above the stage, added materially to the scenic effect. Six girls, dressed in colonial costumes, greeted the visitors at the door and conducted them to their seats. The program, planned by Miss Phelps, who also wrote the sketches of the play, was given under her direction by the Seniors. Mr. Edwin Henderson delivered an excellent address on VVashingto'n.- An Example for Youthf' Following, Mr. Ralph Montague, Mr. Renick Jones and Miss Naomi Eisenhart appeared in tableaux The Minute Man, George Washington and The Goddess of Liberty. A After an instrumental solo, a medley by Miss Marcine Smith, a little sketch The First Flag was given. The scene was laid in Philadelphia, the year 1777. Miss Neta Adams impersonated the part of Betsy Ross, whose Hag was accepted by George Vlfashington as the first official emblem of our nationality. A song The Starry Flower of Liberty was rendered by the senior quartet. Then The Daughters of Libertyf' who met at the home of Mistress Worthington, near Trenton, furnished a clean bit of humor and entertain- ment in the expression of their plans and purposes to relieve the sufferings ol the soldiers. Four girls, who took part in the last number, gracefully danced the minuet. A vocal solo was given by Miss Helen McKee. The program was Well rendered and P1CaSing to everyone. The orig- inality of the production made it doubly attractive and those who partici- pated in it merit the praise and commendatioin of all who had the pleasure of witnessing it, M H I ,117 76 lffilim ana T' - .J-ra ie-Q-.airg-fag f Q - , f - f's'f 'z 1-sf F f 1 Af ,WW K 5 - f .

They next decided to visit the Lewis theatre, but inet with a very different reception at thevhands of Mr. Lewis, who blocked the parade with a note of authority, a tin badge and a miniature cannon. This was the most unkindest cut of all and nearly started an argument. Finally the gang withdrew. Calls were then made on P1-Ofessm-5 Palmer, Street and Bryant and upon several members of the faculty. The celebration ended about 10 o'clock, when the parade reached the school house.

E!d'2.iJrfL-..f-lg GOVERNOR MAJOR VISITS THE HIGH SCI-IOOHL. . ik- On the morning after the famous 'possum supper, the students of the Independence High School had the honor of a visit and a 'talk -from Gov. 'Elliott W. Major. This is the first time in the history of the high school that the governor of Missouri has 'chosen to address the students of our school. The subject of his address was How to Attain Success. He named for the elements of success an education, honesty, ambition, courage, proficiency in some one thing and a good moral character. An education, in his estima- tion, is the bridge of preparation, on which the individual must stand if he Wishes to enter in theirace for honors of any kind, for success depends on the individual and without an education the most brilliant must fail. He placed aggressive honesty as an essential to success, ambition as a necessary force to open the sluggish mind that it may grasp the opportunities which are presented. He likened the educated man or Woman, who lacks ambition, to a loco- motive on the track, possessed of immense possibilities for service, yet with- out steam to vitalize. Courage, to him, seemed very essential+courage to meet the handicap oi prosperity, the greatest menace to success, and courage to meet adversity and to overcome obstacles. .He advised everyone to learn to do one thing better than anyone else, saying that the mediocre man could do mediocre things, but greater things demanded more efhciency. Above all these qualifications he placed a moral character as the cap sheaef to success. The governor embellished his talk with classical illustrations and com- pressed a wonderful message to the students in a few vvordg, The address -was very much appreciated by the students, who responded to his ff it with the high school yell and loud applause. 6 or S I.

The ,characters were unusually well chosen and, in spite of t-he lonfg and ambitious character of the play, there were almost no lapses of memory. The training and4.drilling of those who took part in the performance -was under the supervision of Miss Dorothy Clair, to whom is largely due the dramatic success of the affair. The short intervalstbetween the acts were deprived of all irksomeness by the orchestral numbers, which were furnished by the -high school musicians under the direction of Miss Grace V. Wilsoinl. The scene of the play was laid inthe city of Ly-ons, France, in the time of the French revolutionand the actors all appeared more our less at home in the idiom of nearly a century and a half ago. The romantic beauty ofthe scenery, costumes and dialogue furnished an atmosphere which contributed materially to theseighteenth century charm of the stage picture. Miss Elinor Flournoy's splendid interpretation of Pauline Deschappelles, around Whose heart and hand the action of the play Was centered, Will be remembered by all who saw the performance. The most striking merit-of her acting was its ease, its freedom from apparentartihce, its air of being a character and notacting one. At first, as the proud, haughty daughter of a French merchafnlt, she portrayed all those qualities that contributed to make her the object of.. the scheming nobleman's glances, later, as the troubled, struggling maiden, Whose love was divided with the poor gardener-7s son, Claude. Melnotte, and her fictitious suitor, the prince, she Won the heart of her audience by choosing, despite her mother's pleadings and protests, the noble hearted Claude. Que of the crowning features of Mr. R. C. Smith's work is his vvorrderful speaking voice. In this play his versatility was exemplified in the role of Claude Mel-notte, the successful suitor of Pauline, In his eloquent and forceful appeals to Pauline's lighter fancies and also in his quiet and im- liZiiifvhfiililfifliiiaiiiliifillcilgillffllaifmiliXml-info the Wble Perm is warrant for in thelines enabled himit L QP ra mb and-thuumg as there MES Eleanor MCCOY, in thiq Wortho ,corp a substantial success.

' W U Mr. Byron Stewart took the part of Beausant and acc1'eCl1'C6d hlmself well with his impersonation of the Frenchman whose interests were based on an intrigue to humble the pride of Pauline. The part WHS Plalfffd Vfmth il keen understanding of the personal characteristics that were embodied in the jealous nobleman. ' 1 As Beausant's 'fpartner in the conspiracy, Mr. Read Phipps was entirely capable of fulfilling all that was required of him in that role. His lines.we1'6 spoken so that they seemed really conversational and he made himself dis- tinctlyiheard in all partsof the auditorium. He also wore a good make-U11 and while his expression was lacking somewhat in nobility, the light of a Fine pair of luminous eyes lent a peculiar attraction to a face that cleverly depicted the sly, cunning expression of the Frenchman, Glavis. L Miss Louise I-fagler as the VVidow Melnotte was exceptionally good in her emotional parts. Her acting faithfully revealed those admirable attri- butes of the widow's generous nature-her courage, kindness and, devotion to worthy principles-which tended, eventually, to insure her success and popularity with everyone, indeed, the audience was peculiarly sympathetic even before the character of the modest, unassuming peasant woman had been fully developed. Miss Hagler maintained an excellent stage presence throughout, and displayed a marked adaptability for the role assigned her. Inscene 1, act 2, Mr. Ralph Montague, who 1nay always be reasonably relied upon to lend interest and individuality to a performance, presented an especially fine appearance as Colonel Damas. One or two lapses of mem- ory were sufficiently covered up by his presence of mind, and, altogether, his genial, sociable manner, as well as just a touch of the fiery temper that Hnally led him to engage in a duel with Claude Melnotte, won him much admiration and applause. The part of Monsieur Deschappelles was very well handled by Mr. Lester Etzenhouser, He lacked force at times, but in the final scenes he delivered his lines with a strength and force that showed cofnisiderable ability for tl1e portrayal of the character. Miss Zora Henson, in the minor role of Marian, maid to Pauline was ' J very pretty and well costumed. Her several small duties were ver ia fully pierformed.

Am-ong the many activities which the conscientious work of Professor I. M. Sexton has added to the school life of the boys is that of the Glee Club. The Glee Club is not a regular course of the high school, but is formed of the aristocrats of the dispensors of harmony, selected. and directed by Professor Sexton. The boys made their debut in assembly one morning by rendering a selection from the operetta A la de Gras Hoppe. The program was Well received by the student body, which showed its appreciation by the enthus- iastic applause it gave them. The Glee Club has rendered several selections of old southern melodies in assembly programs which has formed delightful entertainment for the students.

MM. Four years of mathematics are offered in the high school, three of which have been required work, but after this yearhonly one term of algebra and one of geometry shall be necessary for graduation. Miss Chiles and. Mr. Sexton have classes both in algebra and geoinetryg Mrs, Barnett and Miss McCoy each. have a class in fhrst year algebra, p The fundamental combinations and processes of algebra are learned in the first year and are put to use in the practical problems of the second year. Plane geometry starts out o'n a new line of reasoning, but the knowledge of algebra makes it much easier. Solid geometry is based on the same dehnitions and processes as the plane. The Christman-Sawyer bank offers twenty-five dollars in gold to the stu- dent making the highest average, if it is as much as a grade of eighty-tive per cent, over an examination in higher arithmetic, First and second year algebra and solid geometry. The entire course of study offers a student a thorough training in self- reliance, so that he may proceed more conhdently to meet other problems con- fronting him. V L G '16 il 5 I l , 45'-L-2 ' .

No study requires more thought and reasoning power than history. History prepares the mind to grasp and understand the most intricate and complex questions. Every Student in- school is required to take four years history and as a consequence it is the largest single department in the school. Ancient, Me- diaeval and Modern, English and American history are studied in the order named. Vifliile the continuity in the history is complete, each one of the periods has certain characteristics making it convenient to treat as a unit. The greatest stress is laid upon American history, which is taught by the laboratory and 'lecture' system. Much reading in addition to the 'text book is required. The rise, growth and development of .American institutions are Carefully studied and much Stress is laid upon the economic afnfd industrial development. ' A large number of the students take civics and economics in conjunction with their history work. In these subjects a more intimate knowledge of our institutions is gained, thereby giving a higher regard for them and mak- ing us better citizens.

The science department of the Independence high school has developed into such a popular course that many of the students are now being de- prived oi its advantages by the cramped condition of the school. This department can boast of those advantages which only excellent instructors and adequate equipment can provide. Students in each of the four classes have the opportunity to carry one subject in this department, as it is very complete, and includes the study of physics, chemistry, botany, zoology, agriculture and physical geography. The department is under the instruction of three of the school's most competent teachers, Prof. D. C. Elliott, Miss Margaret Brown and Miss Osla Sehrt. Physics, botany and 1 Zoology are under the instruction of Professor Elliott, a0'ricultu1e and h S- ' r ' b i P Y ical geography are taught by Miss Brown, and chemistry by Miss Sehrt. On account of the crowded condition in the school, this department was l en arged by the equipping of a room in the basement for the study of agri- culture and physical geography. W'ith the aid of additional school rooms, such as 'Will be provided in the new building, the science department will have no superior in the state. 27:11 tr ail 95 W ', lmllfrfluul ..yp fflw UH at it S6 ,Si I H Q, 7 b ppppp ta W . lil 5 DOMESTIC ART, Domestic art is essential for the practical girl who wishes to be inde- pendent. A thorough'knowledge of the details of this art enables her to be more efficient in satisfying her own needs. Much good has been derived from the cofurse in domestic art this year, Millinery has for the first time been introduced as a branch of this work. Wfith the able assistance of Miss Margaret Chiles we have accomplished much and learned many things which will be of use to us. . The lack of room curtails equipment, but the quality of the Work has not been affected by this circumstance. Besides making objects of wearing apparel and hats, We have made a study of clothing in regard to materials suitable to occasion and individual, value of material and selection of gar- ments and uses of clothing. The cheapest material is not always the most economical, nor the highest priced always the best. The value of material can be appreciated only by a close study of the work. ln considering a garment, durability, cost and appropriateness are the dominating features. The uses of clothing- protectioin, comfort and ornamentation-are important factors. A The next division is the study of textiles and their class as Wool, silk, cotton or lineng suitableness for season and occasiong care, -of each and affect of heat and vvaterg relative and standard value of materialsg sudy of color and color combinationsg color and style suitable to individuals. All this serves as preparation to be independent in selecting, making and Caring for clothing-a preparation by girls for higher study in professional lines. B. MCB.-'17.

In equipment, our shop .ranks among the Hrst in the state. An electric mortising machine, which adds much to the general efficiency, has recently been added. The department has many other time saving devices, among which are a planing machine, a band saw, a rip and cross cut saw and grind stone. V There are 84 students enrolled in this department and of this 'n-umber ten are girls. The girls are doing excellent work and in some cases sur- passlng the boys. Twenty of the boys are taking turning and have done very creditable work, The class was very fortunate this year in having thirty-one diifferent kinds of wood at the 'beginning oi the year from which to choose. Mr. Hifner, instructor in this department, is very capable, having made manual training a study for years. He has visited manly schools of national interest and brings the very best instruction to Independence. . . , F. W.-'l8. I Q 1: '-v he .- W llf'4-1, X 26 W z ' in X .: 10 ll' A 'll -P U rl !

Wfe believe if anything is thoroughly useful and fitted to the place, that it is at least half way artistic. The second quality oi art is beauty, which is largely a matter of personal taste. In the Art Department we are taught art and the ways of applying our knowledge. The first year of art gives a training in free hand sketches, Crayon work, water colors, applied problems in stencil and black print de.- Signs. The second year classes have had a lewd lessons in interior decora- tions which were interesting and useful. Design Work has been a specialty this year and some very attrac- tive posters and book plates have been made. The book plates were not planned for beauty alone, but rather to bring out the individuality of the person for whom they were intended. I Besides these things, art helps to put harmony into the common neces- sities of life-the arrangement ol dress with reference to the color and de- sign, consistent with one's inclividuality. Miss Ruby Short has been our art instructor throughout our four years of study. She has given us many practical ideas concerning the harmonizing Oi the more common things of life and through her efforts We have been in- spired to greater artistic achievements. A.

It won state wide renown under the name of The Excelsior Debatino' Society. 6 But that was many years ago, indeed. At the beginning of the school year of 1915 the debating society had dropped into such oblivion that it was not recognized as a part of the student activities. E This year the spirit was once more infused into the school by Mr. Street. Although the students did not respond in any great numbers, it was enough to see that they wished to have debating in the school. Out of this number Mr. Russel Hunt,'Mr. Leslie Leake and. Mr. Erskine Robinson were selected to represent the rejuvenated society in the state debating contest. Debating is an education in itself. It teaches you to be a quick clear J thinker, to arrange your material, and to be able to express your thoughts in a clear, concise way. The Excelsior Debating Society is very young- in fact, it has only begun to climb to fame-but with the help of the splen- did material to be found in the under graduates, the Independence high l l sc loo will be able to be on hand in the finals next year art Columbia, SOI everyone come out next year and h l cl ' e p ma ce The Excelsior Debating Society the best in the state.

Lee's Summit high school was the Hrst team we played and t-hey were easily disposed of, 13 to O. - Gotober 26 Coach Sexton took his team, clad in new blue and white Jerseys, to Liberty, and we showed our class by winning 9 to 6. Our next opponen.t was Argentine high school, and they were smothered, 50 to O. Orr November 19 we played Vlfeston high school, a classy little team, and' turned them away 17 to 6. Our biggest and last game of the season was played November 24, with the Liberty high school. Liberty had a heavy and shitty team, but Sexton had a team that loomed above them, and the game ended 13 to 12, with Independence on the long end of the score, The season can be called a great success, as we piled up a total of 109 points to our opponents' 48, and won 5 victories out of 7 games.

Oi the 21 games played, 15 were Won and 6 lost. Only one high school team defeated us and we later defeated this team, Lee's Summit, by a large score. At the district tournament, held at Warrensburg, we easily defeated Pleasant Hill, VVarrensburg Prep School and VVa1'rensburg high school, and won the tournament. Coach Sexton said It is the best team we have ever had. The coach of St. Louis University said: They fmeaning' Independencej pass the ball faster than any high school team I ever saw, and 1 believe they could show Wfarrensburg Normal or St. Louis University a good gamef' Wfe feel highly honored after having such a compliment passed on us. A great amount of credit belongs to Coach Sexton, as well as his men, lor the showing the team made. :TSN were awarded to Captain McCoy, Sturges, Henderson, Stewart, Lewis and Asher. Ol these, Coach Sexton will lose McCoy, Sturges, Henderson and'rStewart. VVith Asher, Lewis and Sollars playing next year, Sexton will have a strong nucleus to build a team around. VVith a large bunch of candidates out, each position will be hard fought for, and that is what a coach needs in building Hp a great team. ,f-11. H EA 110 he- .4 5 E V WINNERS OF THE TOURNAMENT. ' -'ti . . . On March 10 and 11, the second Normal District Tournament was held at W31'1'CHSbLl1'g, Missouri.

How- ever, ongaccount of the limited space, I shall be able to mention but a few gof the many-students who have meant sormuch to I. H. S. Not one of the students who finished his course here and passed to the life work of an l'101'1CSt man but .has made his mark sometime-somewhere. U In the teaching force of .both the ward and high school the alumni of I. I-I. 'Sfare Well represented. Vlfe have here as art teacher Miss Ruby Short. who Won the art prize of theclass of 1910, Miss Mattie McCoy, Miss Helen Ross alnd Miss -Maude Compton. I. H. S. ,has done her full share in sending teachers to all parts of the country. Charles Ross, the founder of The Gleamf' continued his education at M. U. and is now teaching there in the school of journalism. In June, hc. together with his family, will sail for Australia to spend ayear in the interest of his chosen work. Alexander McCoy taught Cfeolog 'f th Uni cersit of v C 6 gy in e V y Oklahoma until recently, when he was honored with an appointment for geological work in Mexico. Paul Rider is teaching mathematics in Yale and Merle Knapp is the physical director in the high school at Niles, Ohio. We have in Independence two successful physicians, Drs. Elmer and Tom Twymafni, who are graduates of I. H. S. Judge Southern, who has made quite a stir in the political circles of this section, also has his name on the alumni list. - , 7 ', . . . - . h Of list years class quite a number are continuing their studies else- W ere. rthur Smith is one of the pupils at M.

What the class of 1916 will'do remains to be seen. Many possibilities await us. lt is to be hoped that we shall p-lay the role that is expected of us and that none of us will mar the luster of the alumni list of old I. H, S. -+++-- Dear Seniors :- ' , Pleasant associations are always entertained when the halls of memory are lighted for the reininiscence of Senior days. The recent bond issue of 375,000 for the purpose of colnlstructing a new high school building naturally invites my attention to the wonderful growth of our city and the demands upon the schools. The class of '05 spent most of her hours of earnest endeavor in the main building facing Maple avenue. I-lere we found the library and the reading rooms and if by chance you should see some wonderful personage pouring over a volume of great proportion, you would know at once that he or she was a se'nior. A ' A The Study hall was then located in the auditorium and in this room, where order was supreme, the seniors might easily have been designated by their marked distance from the stage, or by the profound manner in which they strode to the platform, and upon having gained audience of Miss Henry, they mysteriously left the hall, to return in a short time with a volume of momentous issue, around which others gathered. It was in this self-same room that the wonderful play All the Comforts of Home caused the coffers of the 'OS class to fill to overflowing. Ours was the first class that had to settle the question whether or not there would be Uheadlightsn or footlights. ' VVe decided that there was no question about the former, but the latter was necessary to our equipment. A committee of Tom QTWymanj, Dick fMcCarrollQ and 1-larry Ctlunterj were instructed to see that All the Comforts of Home were supplied, and as there was no manual training shop at that time in the high school, this committee neces- sarily designed their own model. We were not only the first class to advocate women's rights by organ- izing a debating society, 'The Gamma Delta Sigma, but we were the first and only class permitted to combine our gift with the architecture of the school building. Our memorial to the school consisted of the two beautiful stained-glass windows which are on either side of the entrance. Combined with our gift Ne Vile Fanoi' was given by our worthy Prof. Bryant. If we look on his noble life, not o'nly our class, but all alumni could do nothing better than to live by this motto-f'Bring Nothing Base to the Temple.
