BRYANT l84l-l9l6 QCLD 35 IN MEMORIAM. i...+.1 1841--George S. Bryant.--1916. At a memorial meeting of the teachers of the Independence public schools held Thursday, Dec. 14th, at the High School, a committee of teachers present- ed the following tribute to the life and character of the late Prof. George S. Bryant, which was unanimously endorsed by all the teachers: It is a rare privilege to have studied and taught in the schools of Indee pendence within the years of Professor Bryant's connection with them. We, the teachers of the public schools-many of us in other years students undfer his direction--consider it a pleasure to express once again something of the love a'nd' admiration we bore him. Except for doing ourselves the honor, it is hardly fitting that we should speak. His life was an open book wherein all might read. The town people, from the oldest citizen to the smallest child, were his friends and know all we can say of his kindness, his gentleness, his sympathy, his greatness of soul, but we, the teachers, feel that in a very special sense, we were his friends and beneficiaries. Through years we have sat at his feet, been aided by his coun- sel and uplifted by association withehim in our daily work-his chosen work. He inspired us with something of his power-the power there 'is in the en- thusiastic adherence to an ideal. 'We are better teachers and better men and women because he helped to make us so. From the heights where he dwelt, far above the lower pla'nes and life's darker shades, he gavre to us the clearness of the stainless skies, the strength of the Alpine peaks, and the ideals of the world of light around him. He be- lieved and held us to the belief-that there is something grander than the mountain: it is the sea. There is something grander than the sea, it is the sky. There is something grander than the skyg it is the human soul. And his great teaching was done in the light of that great truth. He showed us ever the beautiful, the true, and the good and taught us by preceplt and example to consider only what's brave, what's noble and to do it after the high Roman fashion. Looking at liie through his guidance we saw with him that Nothing is small! ' ' No lily-muffled hum of a summer bee, But finds some coupling with the spinning stars, No pebble at your feet, but proves a sphereg No chaffinch, but implies a cherubimg Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God. He never ceased to do us good, because he never ceased to love us. And so he lived among us in these later years, breathing the rare incense from the hearts of many friends, seeing sweet faces everywhere as he glanced back 36 d d fi din in his memories places where his over the pathway he had tro , an 'U l g , A Soul had rest. He lived to enjoy the quiet and peace oi the sunset ol life to ' lt li 1 and to bind the experiences of meditate upon the truths life had taugi i 1 I1 , ' n A Q A d his life into sweet songs of comfort for himself and inspiration for his frien S. ' So to live is heavenl To make undying music in the world. People say he is gone! It cannot be. He is with us. I-Ie was one ofthe true makers. Generations will pass before the teaching ideals he set foruhimself cease to mold and influence the schools of Independence. He has Joined the e immortal dead Who live again in lives made better by choir invisible of thos . v their presence. No work begun shall ever pause for death , and 1115 Passmg has left us to carry on his unfinished task. It calls to the noblest that 1S in us all- . Are y-ou in earnest?

The near, and far! The good beside thelway, And that which up the toilsome mount he gained All blent in him, and lo, Parnassus was A mount of blessing to this traveler here. He gained its highest peaks, and still he yearns And learns beyond the summit, seeking still The vaster fields of learning to be trod, Or like Ulysses, he would travel o'er Rough seas.

VVith youth, he spent his life-fAn envied lotj, For youth gives back with reflex glow, its charm. He gave to youth, religion, soul and sense Nor lost a jot, but gained full recompense. His purpose was, to know for knowing's sake, Not to become A star to men forever .-fwhich he was and will bej. Once in social crowd he read- I 'WI go to prove my soul. I see my way As birds their trackless way. I shall arrive. And leaning with hushed breath to catch the strain, I thought God guides him, as He guides the bird. And in my spirit's rapt communion then, I saw his life-work, lull of usefulness. ' Glorious with visions of a full success. -Mrs. W. L. VVEBB. tBrowning's Paracelsus. ---+++- GEORGE S. BRYANT. i.+.m By the death of George S. Bryant, the Public Schools of the State of Mis- souri lost one of their Hblest men. For 15 years I have known him intimate- ly and I can truly say of him that he was the humblest, kindest and most help- ful man I ever met. I have often wondered what his aim in life might be as he walked upon the earth and labored among men. It seems to me that the prayer of his heart must have been, VVith increasing years, grant me wisdom with humility, strength with gentleness, force with loving kindness, justice with sympathy, youth-fulness with age, that my life may be in every way at- tractive and helpful to mankind. He lived among the mountain peaks of knowledge, yet his hand could reach out to gently guide and lead the simplest 3,8 child. A thousand hearts, some old, some middle aged, and some ymmg' throb with the light and the life he has opened up to 'C11C1T1. Of him, never could it be said, that he labored for a selfish pt1rp0SC,.fhaf he built hisahouse with embattlements great' and strong, that he locked lgs docirlsl and became learned, surrounded with mystery and alone. Power an ' Wea were thrust aside, in order to make the life of the passer-by a little bigger, 2. little happier. v M He was a friend to man, andyhe lived in a house by the side of the roadl . God was good to this man. He lived a lO'ng time and during a historic time. He was born in Kentucky, April 2, 1841, He taught' school in a little red brick school house near South Main street in this city nearly fifty years ago. My father was a pupil of his then, and thirty-five years afterward, Prof. Bryant worked and labored to teach me in this high school at Independence. He lived here during the Civil VVar and witnessed the battles of border warfare tear this town to pieces. He saw this city grow from a oou'ntry village on the frontier, to the beautiful place it is today. He saw the wounds made by our own Civil War, that tore this nation asunder, heal and be forgotten. He saw us reunited in body and spirit, stand out as the great beacon light of lib- erty in 1898. He saw his own pupils grow into manhood and with courage and conviction lay down their lives for the principles he had taught them. He lived to see the beginning of the greatest history making period the World! has ever known and passed away with the knowledge that his own country still upheld the peace and liberty of the world, unsullied. He had lived so long and his experience was so vast that, unaided by books, he 'could instill principles in children that they could obtain in no other way. This man was a teacher. he believed and felt that his profession was big en-ough for him, and he performed his task nobly. He read the classics understandingly, but -he never was So completely absorbed by them that he forgot the political and economic prob- lems of modern life. Ever and foremost he endeavored to make strong, think- ing citizens of the young men and womenuwho came into his life. Those of us who came under his instruction in his later life, will cherish 3, fond recollection of this gray headed veteran in the class-room, giving out 165- sons of experience and wisdom, in a language as plain and simple as -9, Child, We were benefited and he rejo-iced in our growth, And yet, my friends, he is gone from us. We do 'hot miss most men when they die, they drop from the ranks and there is confusion for a moment but the ranks close up and we move on just the same. But it is not 5 d ' I , . im. There IS none to take his place ln the eopgejgplnal circles of this city. His memory will live when we are gone and -From Henry A. Bu11dschu's address at-,the High School Dec 4 1916 o with men f. at Q 39 A TRIBUTE TO THE FLAG. .+i.. A greater sense of respect and appreciation for the American flag was infused into the being of every high-school student when Major E. M. Stayton, conrniander of the Missouri Battalion, Field Artillery, N. G. M., which in- cludes Battery C and two other batteries in the state, addressed the assembly on Monday morning, April Znd. The speaker was introduced by Prof. VV. L. C. Palmer, superintendent of schools, who nrade a few brief and appropriate remarks. At his suggestion, the Hag was displayed from the stage, whereupon the students rose and gave the salute. , 'fThere is only one form for saluting the Hag, said Major Stayton, and it should be done by everybody whenever they see a flag officially displayed on some public building or camp. As you pass, look straight towards the flag, and a few paces before you come to it, raise your right hand to your fore- head, in the usual military style, and keep it there till after you have passed the flag-then lower it. It is not practicable or necessary to do this with every Hag you see, but you should do it in all cases where flags are of- ficially displayed. I wish that I could see a flag on every house in town. The flag stands for all that Americans hold dear---for their heritage of freedom, for the op- portunities open to them for life, liberty and the pursuit of halppirress. Respect for the flag, however, means more than a doffed hat when the parade goes by, or lusty cheers when the band strikes up the Star-Spangled Bannerf It is on no such cheap and easy terms that one may make proof of his patriotism. Ilonor to the Hag means not sentiment or braggadocio, but a solemn and reasoned loyalty to certain principles that Old' Glory sym- bolizes. The red stands for sacrifice, the white means purity, and the blue is the symbol of truth. It is the exhibition of these noble qualities in his private life and in his civic relations that one really honors the Haig.

L. Cook, 12,20 North Liberty Street, and VVilliam R. Allen, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. R. Allen, North Delaware Street. These are the valiant young men fwho now, per- haps, are better known as Loyal Lee and VVilling VVilliam j who have quitted lessons and books and all relative intellectual pursuits in their old home town for higher life on the high seas. Yes, theylre gone to help muz- zle the mad dogs of war, and we feel sure that their Ye Ho, Lads, Ho ! will ring out with as much patriotic fervor as the voice of the merriest old Jack Tar, who in fairest or foul weather, ever trod the deck a-singin' lustily, i WHAT IAS THE GREATEST GAME? l+T I Dr. Henry Marcotte of Kansas City Discusses the Question in Assembly, A n if- I-Iow many think that base ball is the greatest of all games P - I The speaker, Dr. Henry Marcotte of Kansas City, surveyed with mild surprise the few hands' that were waved aloft in response to his question that was addressed to the student body of I. H. S. in assembly Vxfednesday morn- ing, April l8th. VVell, how many vote for football? , O, hot the wind sits in that corner, does it? At least, the overwhelming majority of uplifted hands was conclusive proof of the same. But, - 'though D1'.'Marcotte evinced no great surprise upon being confronted by so many avowed football fans, he began at once to effect a conversion in the mind falld maybe heart? 0f Well We believe that even our last year's quart- er-back was finally led to share the views of the speaker: Qi. e.j Football is not the greatest game, there is a greater, N ' 'i ' h 'h V or, is it war, t oug war, indeed, pro-vides an opportunity to play the game with stouter hearts and steadier nerves, The following remarks ad 6 5 ' as 41 dressed to the enlisted men of the 'national guard, by Captain Stacey, may serve to better illustrate certain fundamental principles of the war game: The first duty of a soldier is loyal, unhesitating obedience. Without this quality an army is no better than a mob. The value of an organization lies in the fact that a thousand men submit their wills to one man and are moved as one man. One hundred disciplined men are always superior to a thousand undisciplined men. Respect your officers. Your lives are in their hands in action, and they know more of the game than you do. They frequently know what cards the other fellow has, which you do not, so you cannot tell what cards should be played. It may be necessary that you be sacrificed in order that the iight may be won. Don't be a quitterg play the game. Remember, in war you are only part of a machine, one checker on the board. It may be necessary to lose you in order to win the game. f'Remember, you sat in on this game of your own free willland accord. Play it right. Don't be a quitter. Put the same spirit into unpleasant duties that you do into 'pleasant ones. Vlfar is not a pleasant game or one for ladies. It takes strong men to play it right. Most of your duties are not always pleals- ant, but they are necessary, just the same. A nation that has difficulty in getting strong men for soldiers is a decadent one and does not deserve liberty or self government. Remember, the defense of your state and nation is in your handsg it is the work of strong men with red blood in their veins. Be careful to do every thing to raise the reputation of your organization, and nothing that will injure it. It is an honor to wear the uniform of a soldier of the United Statesf' But, the war game, the money game, the game of track and field-all have their defects and deficiencies. The one game, that which provides ad- versities and set-backs Qfew full-backsj but which holds a future which may be carved to our liking, is-the game of LIFE. It is the man who plays this game without the perpetual desire to be a star ,-who seems to play, by his instincts and activity, a certain part that even tells on the general face of the earth: drains swamps, leads rivers into dry countries for their irrigation, per- forates forests and stony mountain chains with roads, hinders the inroads of the sea on the continent, as if dressing the globe for happier purposes. - Mr. Hope who had been looking over the town asked- What is the best street in Independence?

Mr, Hope- VVell, it is Professor Street. 42 TIIEGTET Y SHALL WE BE FOREVER DUMB? 1.471 QLet's Singj -+- , A popular newspaper speaks of the musical unprepa.redness of a nation. On the eve of war, it says, Hthe United States soldier has' no popular song like 'There'll be a Hot Time in the Old Town To-Night' of the Spanish- Arnerican war to rouse, his spirits or to stir the military ardor of the populace. Even so. There remains to be written, in this impending conliict, a tune and verses that will harmonize with the psychology of the moment afnd' sweep over the country with the swiftness of A Hot Time in '98 , or even as Tip- perary invaded this alien soil two years ago. . But, recognizing, in a larger sense, our country's musical unpreparedness, we, as students, have been inclined to regard, with more a-pprehension, the woeful state of affairs that exist in the I. I-I. S. At this crucial hour, we de- plore the fact that the universe suffers from musical unpreparedness, but, at this critical moment, we lament the fact that a high-school song is, with us, a lost art. , Lack of contributions from which the students might choose a schoo-l- song, is the direct cause of the loss we have sustained by our neglect of sing- ing. In plain words, we want more composers and contributors, two proposed I. H. Sjsongs, written by Marguerite Barnett and Frances Cook-represent- ing the junior and Sophomore Classes, respectively-are printed herewith, So, while it is quite certain that the greater development of our school will not be hindered by this musical unpreparedness, yet it behobveg our songsters to leap to their writing pens, and give to the students a ballad worthy ot the highest and noblest interests of the school, --+++-- OUR I.

M. A A charming little Christmas cantata entitled Mrs, Bailey's BoarderS was presented by the junior class to an enthusiastic audience on VVednesday, December thirteenth at the High School auditorium. The juniors worked under a heavy handicap in getting the play ready for production: the Seniors had the use of the auditorium drilling for their 3111- nual playg the practice could not be begun until just two weeks before it must be stagedg to top the climax, the date was set up two days. But with all these drawbacks, the roles were well carried out with few lapses of memory and few material mistakes. Mrs. Bailey, the character of the eccentric landlady who was so very, very careful of the parlor, was well interpreted by Fernell Briggs. Glenna Kennedy and Gladys Ramsey as Polly and Violet, business girls, gracefully performed their parts. Cecil Snow as Maud, a piano teacher, showed us the family album. The pictures were Luvenia Charlton as Aunt Eliza Ann, Mona Beets as Luella, Meta Krueger as Myra Jane Meetings, George Rogers as Silas Simmons, Palmf er Vfilliams as VVil1iam Wfatkins, Lawrence Gregg as Hiram Griggs, and Eliz- beth Pitcher as Melissa Miggs. Mr. Vandyke, a very realistic artist who succeeded in selling his Sunrise on the Mediterranean to a restaurant keeper as a portrait of a fried egg, was impersonated by Alfred Rider. His assistants who delivered a pleasing chalk talk Ccharcoal songj were Lena Rue Kirby, Edna Kaler, Blanche Burgess and lfrances Montgomery. lVilliam West, a relative of Mrs. Bailey, made quite a hit by his liberality in the absence of Mrs. Bailey. This friendly, hospitable gentleman was Well played by Allan Bullock. Fern 'Wray as Lily Wfhite, should have been named: Pitch Black for she was a very dark complexioned 'negro cook. In spite of her Egyptian shadi- ncss she could: sing like a Gluck.

The R. S. V. P. quartette was sung by Irene Ayler, Jessie Belle Latimer, Margaret Sitlington and lla Beets. I i .lifildred Mather was the pianist. Elizabeth jones, Susie Langton, lrlarguerite Barnett, Spencer Turner, Leon Miller and C. Flanagan, com- 54 prised the decorating committee which so artistically bedecked the audi'f'Ori11II1 with Christmas hangings and pine branches.

Webster defines oratory as the art of speaking well, or according to the rules of rhetoric, in order to please or persuade. Is this all? Is oratory noth- ing more? Yes, I think it is. It is a logical, ardent, eloquent appeal to the human passions. There is a nobler, loftier strength in oratory than in any other form of expression. If oratory is this, rand I think it isj, it rightfully belongs to the South. The cool, rigid, self-contained, reasoning North may express their emotions in song, poetry and story. But oratory is best ntted to the South, the South nlled with an intense love of beauty, art, and freedom, the South educated among the wealth of flowers and sunshine, the South educated' where 'nature is most full and abundant. The soul of the South is a lyre, sensitive to the faintest touch. The vibration of one of the golden strings of passion sends an answering quiver through the others. r The opportunities for leading, guiding, and swaying the South by the power of oratory have been many. Never since the American spirit of resis- tance to arbitrary power was first aroused has the 'South ceased to need' and possess an orator. The versatile nature of the South has produced the humorous, peace and patriotic orator. The South is proud of her famous oratorsf' The first and greatest was Patrick Henry. Patrick Henry truthfully said, I am not a Virginian, I am an American. But was he not something more? Emphatically, he was. He was the herald of democracy, of universal freedomg and well did he fulfill his great responsibility to his God and? his country. As long as the sun shines and the moon bathes the earth in her soft silvery light, Patrick Henry's Give me liberty or give me deathv will never cease to be quoted by every American and known by every foreigner. No quotation is used more frequently than the climax of his famous speech against the injustice ofthe Stamp Act. Ceasar had his Brutus, Charles the First, his Cromwellg and George the Third-may profit by their example. ' If this be treason make the most of it. No words uttered during the Revolutionary period so en- couraged, strengthened and determined the people as did these. Vlfell did they follow his lamp of experience. Well did he read its mes- sage. The keynote of his orations and character is given in this speech when he asks the question, Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery ? ' ' There is a tone and eloquence to his orations possessed by few others. He was a. true orator. :'Most orators have the gift of fluent delivery only as an 56 incident of the ability to prepare. Patrick Henry could deliver an extempo- raneous speech logically, consistently and effectively. . - - r h' time to boast of. Well may The South has three other oiatois about t 15 1 She be -proud of her orators. They are known among men as Clay, Cal ioun and Hayne. Henry Clay is one of the Hgreat triumvii-ate. His reasoning power was excelled by Webstei', Calhoun surpassed him in earnest, fiery eloquence, but still he had a great following. His eloquence was in turn majestic, fierce, playfulf' Very artistic and figurative is his picture of war in his oiation on .- . - . d d- 'tThe Emancipation of South Amen-ca. VVa1 is one of those rea ful scourges that so shakes the foundation of society, overturns or changes the character of governments, interrupts, or destroys the pursuit of private hap- l t piness brin-Us in short, misery and Wretchcdness in so many forms, and at as 7 D is in its issue, so doubtful and so hazardous that nothing but dire necessity can justify an appeal to arms. The noted trio of statesmen consisted of two Southerners and one N o-rth- erner. Calhoun was the other Southern member of the trio. His debate with VVebster on The Nature of Federal Government is one of the most famous in the annals of a country. The breadth of thought, earnestness of purpose breathes itself from the will-known statement, Hthe very essence of a free government consists in con- S1 ering offices as public trusts bestowed for the good of the countr h I I y and not for the benefit of an individual or a party. Very skillfully, he again uses his fiery eloquence to denounce impure purposes of government, A power has risen up in the .government greater than the people themselves, consisting of piagy and various and powerful interests: it is combined into one mass, and iel together by the po-hesive power of the vast .surplus in the banks.

The South has produced one orator who stands supreme in his class, There is an entirely different tone and eloquence to his orations. It is the eloquence of humor. james Proctor Knottls clever oration on The Glories of Duluth was so fresh and -original that after he was called to order, Congress demanded that he be allowed to finish. He gains much humor by irony and contradiction of words. This speech killed him politically but it defeated! the bill to give land to the railroad to build a road to the teeming pine barrens of the St. Croix. I-Ie declares, I felt instinctively that the boundless resources of that prolific re- gion of sand and pine shrubbing would never be fully developed without a railroad constructed and equipped at the expense of the government-and perhaps not then. I had an abiding presentiment that some day or other the people of this whole country, irrespective of party affiliations, regardless of sectional prejudices, and without distinction of race, color or previous condi- tion of servitude would rise in their majesty and dlemand an outlet for the enormous agricultural productions of those vast and fertile pine barrens, drained in the rainy seasons by the surging waters of the turbid St. Croix. Knott concludes this novel, sarcastic oratio'n with these words, f'Al'1, sir, you can have no conception of the poignancy of my anguish that I am depriv- ed of that blessed privilege. QThe privilege of voting for the measurej There are two insuperable obstacles- in the way. In the first place, my con- stituents for whom I am acting here, have no interest in the road ' and second, because these lands, which I am asked to give away, alas, are not mine to bestow. My relations to them are simply that of a trustee to an express trust. And shall I ever betray that trust? Never, sir. Rather iperish Duluth! Per- ish the paragon of cities! Rather let the freezing Cyclones of the bleak north- west bury it forever beneath the eddying sands of the raging St. Croix. There are two southern orators who are the princes of peace and har- mony. Alexander Stephens and Henry VV. Grady are these disciples. Alexander Hamilton Stephens, of Georgia in his oration on The Future of the South said, We have reached that point in our affairs at which the great question before us is :To be or not to be?'-and if to be-how? I-Iope cverspringing in the human breast prompts, even under the greatest calami- ties and adversities, never to despair. Adversity is a severe school, a terrible erucibleg both for the individuals and communities. We are now in this school, this crucible, and should bear in mind that it is never negative i'n its actions, It is always positive. It is ever decided: in its effect, one way or tho oiher. It either makes better or worse. It either brings out unknown vices lc 58 ake saints or I'6'P1 0' or arouses dormant virtues. In morals its tendency is to m 1 bates-in politics, to make heroes or desperadoesf' Wliere can be found' mole perfect or forceful antithesis? This is a passage noted for its beauty. 1 ' The following selection from the same oration. eXepl1'f1CS the Ch1'1513-llke spirit. I say to you, and if my voice would extend thrOLLghO11'E tl1iS VHS'f country over hill and dale, over mountain and valley, to hovel, hamlet and mansion, village, town and city, I would say, among the first, looking to res- toration of peace, prosperity and harmony in this land, is the duty of exercis ing that degree of forbearance which will enable them to conquer their preju dices-prejudices against communities as well as individuals. U Henry W. Grady has probably done more than any other man to knit to- gether the torn threads of this nation, to bridge over, to cement again the families, states and nation left torn and bleeding by the Civil Wa1'. Is it not harder and greater to be a peace maker than a liberator? Is it not more diffi- cult to erase a prejudice than arouse a nation to revolt for rights? If so, the South has greater orators today than at first. It is a different form of oratory. It is an appeal from the law of man to the Higher law. Grady makes this beautiful statement in his oration on The New South : As we approach the fourth centennial of that stupendous d'ay-when the Old' Wo1'ld will come to marvel and to learn, amid our gathered pleasures-let us resolve to crown the miracle of our past with the spectacle of a republic com- pact, united, indi-Ssoluble in the bonds of love-loving from the Lakes to the Gulf-the wounds of warhealed in every heart as on every hill-serene and resplendent at the summit of human achievement and earthly glory-blazing out the path and making clear the way up which all the nations of the earth must come in God's appointed time. fied ?EiJeeiiCtpil3f,o'pfi'jito1'y is -the gift of the South.

Mr. Hawkins, as he peered over his glasses at his athleticly-built young son who sat opposite him at the breakfast table, it has come to my ears that you are taking an active part in the athletics for! the spring track meet. Is this true ? f'Yes, father, Richard responded reluctantly, without raising his eyes. My son, you have long known my objecti-On to athletics, and I am deeply grieved that you should show so little regard for my wishes . But, father, everybody is interested in athletics now, objected Rechard. And who is 'everybody?' 'Everybody' is the man of the world, and fol- lowing 'everyb-oidy, we come in contact with life's greatest evils. There are higher and nobler things than athletics, my song and I trust that you will strive to attain the greatest heights of which you are capable. f'But, father, I have promisedf' persisted Richard. A bad promise, my son, is better broken than kept. Richard remained silent as his father rose and passed out of the room. Then he looked across the table at his mother, but as she did, not return the glance, he was unable to determine whether or not she was in sympathy with his ideas. On the way to school that morning, Richard B. Hawkins, Ir., walked slowly, with a look of rebellion on his face. Hey, Hawky! shouted a lanky youth who came running up behind him. Stretch yer legs! Come ong let's practice I ' Aw, go on, Slim. Don't bother me. I donlt want to run. Why the gi-ouch P queried Slim, peering around into- the boyish face. Aw, come out of it, he coaxed, pulling at Richard's sleeve. Well, run then l cried Dick, irritably, as he darted away from his lanky companioni. He reached' school far in advance of Slim, still in no cheerful state of mind. In the school, all interest was centered in the coming track meet fnow one week distantj between Glenwood and its old rival, Highland. On the lips of everyone, was the name of Richard Hawkins or Hawky, as he was more commonly called. He was, by far, their best track man and in the final one mile race, he was depended upon to out-class the representatives of High- land. A troubled look came into his eyes when he heard his name so fre- quently mentioned, for not until then had he realized his responsibility. What was he to do? That was the question. He would not tell that he was forbid- den to participate, for run he would-he must. Days passed, and Richard was surprised to find his practice hours oc- cupied by his fathe1 s prearranged plans. Instead of practicing, as he should, for an hour or two daily, he found himself seated in the car, by his father's 1 60 we I D . - . . d side, taking long drives out into the country.

Boys 111511661 llifhel' - - - ' fth fternoon. and thither, planfn-ing, plotting and counteiplotting the events o e a Richard avoided the enthusiastic crowds and walked silently, thoughtfully, homeward. I-Ie, also, had plotting to do. He had determined to elude is father's vigilance and appear upon the athletic Held at the proper time. Lunch was a nightmare to Richard. Three times during the meal, had the telephone rung, and each time he had listened intently as his father gave prac- J tically the same answer: No, Richard will not be at the track meet. l fl '17 No, he will not take part. If J! No, it is not convenient to call him to the telephone. 1 Richard excused himself when the third conversation was finished and went to his OW11'1'OOI11. He laid out his track-suit and stood lo'ok'in'g at it, long- ingly and despairingly. How could he leave the house without his father's knowledge? He must and would compete in those races! Later than that, he did not allow himself to think. Punishment would come as a penalty for diis- obedience, but that was still in the future. I Honk! Honk! . The sound disturbed his reveries, and glancing out of the window, he saw a car nearing the house. Presently his father walked briskly down the steps and took his seat beside the driver. ' Jumpi'n' Jupiter! he yelled, It's Uncle jack, and he always stays out till dark li Wild with relief and joy, he seized his track-suit, swung it around his hsxagliggcfl clcgilcd scarcely ICFIRII1 from giving the good old High School yell. g g enough for the cai to disappear, he dashed to the door, turned the knob and-felt his heart sink like lead in his bosom: theudoor was locked on the outside! he of the porch, showed a most inviting modeoof eslzczlugeh we 'wnidowet the roof him to the window-double defeat 'b the windo P .

THE TAL-E OF THE REPRESENTOR. .i+.1 This is to answer questions such as 'VVhat is it? Who did it? How did they do it? What's it for? -which have been Bred at the 'Sophomores ever since it came out. It is the Sophomore Representorn and it was done, as you can probably guess, by the Sophomores. The Sophomore English work this year for the first semester has been the study of the newspaper. They have studied, in detail, every -phase of this from editorials to advertisements. The Sophomore English teacher, Miss McCoy, conceived the idea of their editing a news- paper themselves, to be modeled after the Kansas City Star . No sooner said than done. By saving the best from every set of themes that was handed in, Miss McCoy had the greatest abundance of material on hand when they were ready to put the paper together. The Re-presentor is thoroughly representative of the Sophomore Class because it is not the best Work of a few but something from each one. May you have one? No, for this was not a get-rich-quick scheme, Why did they do it? WVELL, chiefly to show you that they could do it. -R. A. E.--'19, -iw?

U -Miss Margaret Echard, a former graduate of Independence I-Iigh School, b n 1 directed and supervised the play, and to her wise choice and management the dramatic success was largely due, although the selection of the characters and the natural ability of some of the participants played no small part. There were very few lapses of memory in spite of the fact that some of the lines were long and difficult. The different parts were well characterized, each participant seemingly moulded for his particular role, even to the most insignificant one in the plot. A Miss Mae Bowdle, in the role of the heroine, Kathleen O'Conner, the simple farmer's daughter, whose struggle to decide which r-oad of life to take, wealth and society or poverty and love, was the foundation of the story, quite captivated the audience by her charming mimicry of the Irish dialect, her sprightly, vivacious and unassuming manner, and delightful ignorance, of the outside world. I-Ier interpretation of sorrow and anguish while the u'nhappy wife -of Bernard Kavanagh, in her dream, was equally excellent. When she said good-bye to her sweet-heart, Terrence O'More, in the 'cold cofrid-or of the prison, many eyes were moist, lastly, her pretty bashfulness as she accepted the overtures of her real lover and her petty worldly wisdom gained through her dream must not be forgotten. Mr, 'Leslie Leake, as Terrence O'More, the sweetheart of Kathleen, acted the part of the simple, faithful, unsophisticated lover exceptionally well. In Kathleen's dream he brought forth much applause by gallantly rescuing the heroine from the clutches of the three mercenary villains. Further on in the play, he exhibited his dramatic ability in still another lineg in facing death, in- -stead of being ,comforted by his sweetheart, he comforted her and realistically portrayed the brave, unselfish lad of the play. I-Ie was just as Successful in his emotional and sentimental parts, and his love song to Kathleen deserves especial note. , David O'Conner was a droll, eccentric character, very fond of his Own philosophies, and unconsciously possessing a keen sense of humor A 1105- QED V 66- .- - - - d Ditable old gentleman he Proved fs be when the Sfluue aid 1115 51535031302 their call, and very obliging and humble, foo- 'He had Vely Set Fiat Kath- how to bring up his dauffhter, and when the squ1re slyly Suggestec leen would Tnake a graczful lady, David staunchly and obstmtately refuieil CEE see her in that light. Lee Cook was peculiarly adapted' to th1s part an O advantage of the many opportunitites the character afforded to 1mPfOVte UPOU his lines by little eccentric grimaces. U I Mr. Joe Morgan, in the difhcult role of Bernard Kavanagh, the designing but disappointed squire, delivered his lines clearly, although lacking force 'at times. In Kathleen's dream, as the dastardly villain, he was the exact oppO.S1'Ee to Terrence Oi'More, and by his villainy he set in sharp relief the fa1thfulness and pure love of his rival, but in the last act, he in some measure redeemed himself by giving to Terrence and his future bride a farm, a cow, and a plg 01' two. P Our attention is now focused on Miss Dorothy Kavanagh, the squire's sis- ter, who first instilled the longing in Kathleen's young breast to become a lady and wear beautiful gowns. Miss Lucille Kerr portrayed this languid, haughty individual in a very satisfactory manner. The character of Captain Clearfield, the friend and commissary of Bernard Kavanagh, to whom was assigned the delicate duty of informing the unhappy Kathleen that her marriage to the squire was illegal, in the sight of both the law and the church, was well interpreted by Mr. Russell Hunt. Miss Estelle Charlton as Father O'Cassidy, the priest, soon set the squire's carefully laid plan awry by suddenly appearing and stating that the marriage was legal, for he had performed the ceremony himself in the stead of the fake priest whom Bernard had hired. Her stately solemn appearance in her black robes, her measured' words, and her restrained gestures all bespoke piety and sanctity. Miss Agnes Luff, Kitty O'Laverty, maid in the Kavanagh home, was a conscientious and sympathetic little soul, and was very, very sorry for her dear mistress, but nevertheless, she didn't forget Bill Buttoncap, her rustic lover who felt so like a villain. Bill brought roars of laughter from the au- dience by his realistic impersonation of a chair, funny pranks, and mirthful grins. 'We said his g he was a girl, Miss Frances Weeks, B Listen, we are about to discuss three bloody villains, Black Rody, Red arney, and Darby Doyle, taken by Gomer Vlfatson, Bourke Powell, and Grov- Jili Huff, TCSPCCUVCIY- wha? deep, gruff voices they had, how conscienceless u ey were,.and how easily bribed to do murderous work.

Don't get llg tened, they were only three dream characters, but nevertheless they played their parts exceptionally well. Mr. Wiley Pendleton as Mr. McCubban, made a very good jailor althou 1-1 b L S QUIT i X .67 rather heartless. The part of Meg Marslough, fortune teller, whose telling came true only in a dream, was very creditably performed by Miss Helen Murphy, and the role of Dennis, servant of O'Conner, was well taken by Miss Hazel Greene. Notwithstanding the bitterly cold weather, many ventured forth to see this bewitching little drama and none went home disappointed, for it was a pleasant combination of the spectacular and sentimental, with just enough humor to Havor it well so it'was bound to appeal to every taste. Although light and simple, the Irish play, Kathleen Mavournee'n has substance and a fine sentiment. It is not a play that one sees one day and forgets the next, nor a play that learves a deep impress, but one of those happy mediums that is seldom found but always appreciated.

They have left us a written charter as Hi legacy and as a guide to our course. But every day convinces us that a written charter may become powerless. Ignorance may misinterpret it, ambition may assail and faction destroy its-vital partsg and aspiring knavery IHHY1 at last, sing its requiem on the tomb of departed liberty. It is the spirit-the spirit of the ideal-that lives.-In this is our safety and our hopeg Wl'l1lC this, the ideal of oiur fathers, dwells deeply in our remembrance, and its flame is cherished, ever burning, ever pure, on the altar of our hearts,-while it 1n- cites us to think as they have thought,-incites us to cherish that same ideal, democracy,-to do what they have clone, the honor and the 'praise will be ours, to have preserved, unimpaired, the rich inheritance which they have so nobly achieved. A But why seek to demonstrate, in such a way, a thing which, even by Amer- ica's most bitter foes, has never been denied: the growth of the American ideal, democracy? You can stop an invasion of armies, but you cannot stop an invasion of ideas. Nor ideals. The armies which the United States of America have always enlisted have been the embodiment of the American ideal-democracy,-not divided or subdivided by any old lines of 'nationality or descent, but, men hghting for a common cause and under one flag as Americans. If, in the melting pot, men of all nationalities and, even races, have been fused and blended, then, in the pouring out of men upon this cou'ntry'.s patriotic altars, there should be no ranks of division, no insignia to designate men of one sort from another-after the fashion of feudal wars in which the retainers of chieftains went into battle under his family pennon, emblazoned with its arms and motto. There should be no drawing of lines in such an armyg no labeling of troopsg no segregation, but only one great aggregation of fighting men aiding unitedly in the growth of the American ideal, democracy. ' There are two kinds of warfare: one for selfish interests,-the other for Qlfjlsi ctilgaghbepfeiic alllsncqanlcirpd, and, if not defended will be lost. It is to the have been emdlgrtiken attces tiat, with one exception, our warl1ke.enterp1-ises . . v1nd1cate some principle of abstract Justice, the triumph of which would ultimately benefit all mankind. That note of idealism sounded clearly in President Wilson's call to arms It echoed back to Concord Bridge, to the rattling broadisides of the frigate Co1?Etution , .'fO G6'ffySbUfg and to the liberation of Cuba, e material grievances in our war of Independence were mere pin- -- 69 pricks. By the year -1770, the tea tax was down to three pence a pound. A perusal of that terrihc recital of wrongs which young T11011135 Jefferson penned in the Declaration oi Independence, shows that what rankled in the colonial bosom was the curtailment oi popular liberties. . I How little Europe understood and realized the growth of the Ameyicail ideal, democracy, can be found from reading Thackeray's novel, f'The Vir- giniansf' In the closing chapters, the author gives an excellent history of the American Revolution fromtthe point of view of an English loyalistoi 1776. The loyalist saw no reason why King George-should not have been permitted to tax his own colonies if he so desired. , Again, in 1812, the United States went to war against Great Britain'5 impressment of American seamen and seizure of American ships. Great Britain stood for the old, outworn doctrine of arbitrary restriction of com- merce, using her powerful navy as the instrument. The United States then, as now, was seeking to force into international rec-ognition, the present sys- tem of neutral rights and unrestricted commerce. The blot on our war record is, perhaps, the Mexican conquest of 1846. That was the least defensible of all our wars-a war of territorial aggression. Wl1C11 the fighting stopped in 1848, we possessed California, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico, paying fifteen million d'ollars, and assuming three million dollars indebtedness, due Mexico by American citizens, 4 In the Civil War, Lincoln first grasped the fact that the struggle was testing whether a Nation conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposi- tion that all men are created equal, could endure. The slavery question had become secondary when he wr-ote Greeley, My paramount object is to save the Union, a'ndJ neither to save or to destroy slaveryf' Since Europe watched our Civil VVar, expecting us to perish in the growth of our ideal, democracy, the tables are turned. Now, America faces toward Europe and it is no longer democracy that is in doubt, it is autocracy that is on trial for its life. It is today-today, we are waging the most devastating war the world has ever seen. Tomorrow, not perhaps distant tomorrows, when every na-tion has become permeated with the democratic principles which have attended' the growth of the American ideal, war may be forever abolished from the category of human crimes. In the prophecy of peace-not a peace to be H beginning of warg not a peace which will be endless preparation for strife and bloodshed, but a real peace--we detect the growth of a world ideal- democracy. The world is an old world. It has never, though, seen such a war as hen this war began, two-thirdls of the conti'nent was under autocratic rule. Now it is different, democracy 1 means peace. The democracy of France hesitated, the democracy of Ita y now rolls, like an ocean over Europe. W 1 B 70 hesitated long before it entered. We, CVCU, i'f1' Our greater growth of democracy paused and sprang back with a shudder and would never have entered the caldron had it not been for the invasion of Belgium. If Prussia l d been a democracy there would have been no war. la y The United States recognized the inevitable. We Went into the war, not simply because of Germany's ruthless submarine attacks, .but because we e convinced that a world in which German militarism is triumph- had becom ant is a world in which free peoples cannot live. J Out of the confusion at the outset of the war, certain definite priciples have been forced by the consistent course of the German government-con- clusions, which, at first, Americans could not believe. owerful and efiicient government They have learned that there is a p which regards itself as above international morality 5 which uses war to achieve its ambitionsg which looks upon treaties as scraps of paperg which regards lesser nations as having no rights it is bound to respectg which conducts its war of conquest on a basis of calculated frightfulness, in defiance of the laws of nations to which itself was a signatoryg which carries civil populations off to slaveryg which is ready to gain its ends by elaborate and unscrupulous intrigueg Whose continued success is a menace to the funda- mental idea-and the fundamental ideal? democracy,-which is bound up with American life. The cause for which America' is taking up arms today is the same cause of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for which it took up arms in 1776. I In rec-ognition of this fact, a united Nation responds to the president's noble appeal to enter war for democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own governmentj for the rights and liberties of small nationsg for a universal dominion -of rights by such a concert of free peoples as shall bring peace and safety to all nations, and ma-ke the world, itself, at last, free. ' john Galsworthyp the English 'novelist and playwright, has recently Wrlttenna poem in which the growth of the American ideal, democracy, is admirably expressed 1- ' A windf in the world!

Now truancy From the true self is ended: to her part Supreme again she moves and from her heart A great America causes death to tyranny 1 Vlfhat is democracy anyhow? Upon the way the United' States answers this question will depend, not only the course of American history, but, as well real democracy the world over, in all its larger outlines and broader purposes. . Is democracy a thing without duties, obligations or responsibilites? Is it a thing without a spiritual content, without world purpose and world destiny? Is it a theory of a nation, built upona theory of oneself, an inco- herent and u'nmobilized mass of men and resources in-heterogeneous juxta- position, without vertebra to hold it together, without a soul to save it from damnation? It has been said that in this country there is one thinker to every twenty-five thousand of its inhabitants. The rest are orators. 'With only one person in that number with a natiofn-al-to say nothing of an in- ternational consciousness+can it be said that we are a nation ? When wethink -of the mission of the United States, we are not comp'elled to think of a tendency to isolate a certain territory wherein -our people may make money and save their skins, to create a Dead Sea civilization into which everything flows, but which has no outlet. Do we think of our country as a nation among nations as each man thinks -of himself as a man among men? D-of we talk of ourselves as being a world-power with the broadest conception of all the opportunities, or the obligations, of a nation that has assumed its proper place in the world? V If so, are we to sustain relations with the world? Are we to conduct foreign affairs? Are we to have policies which we can make good? And, are we to continue to be the first representative of democracy? You have a task, America. It is to establish, from all these free-moving personalities within your states, a tie that shall be a blood bondl. Their lives are of many mo-ods and colors. Build them into a great cathedral. Their voices are unconscious and discordant. Compose from them a symphony. Think of the rich foundations of your country. It is made up of all r9.CCS3 it has flowed into you from all continents. May this help you to understand the essential spirits of these peoples whose sum mHS'C be Am-GYIC9'-and Amei-iCa'5 ideal, democracy. May it bring you to realize that a vast harmony exists between their varying intellectual forces , All of the forces that are conflicting today onthe old continent CO111bi11C to present a bittef and unworthy s-pectacle. These nations, like France and GDT? 72 Germany, are neighbors. And they are related, their true differences are only shades. Yet they have d H forces oonsecrating all their genius, to stultify and to destroy each- other- , . lfVhat are these struggles, seen in a pure hght, but disputes of parishes- miserable denials of the vastness of truth,-passionate and perverse attempts to stitle human spirit,+to build walls around it-to deny it to the world,- enied each other. They are bending all their to shut it in a prison! ' The ideal of one nation is a too narrow thing, even the idea of a recon- ciled Europe or a united Occident, would be too narrow. The hour has struck ifor,mankind to begin its march toward the ideal of world-wide democracy,-to begin it with conscious fervor, to suffer no ex-clusion. Man must at last enter into health, must, at last, enter into life. Democracy must be his leader, humanity must be his goal. The .Asiatic cultures,-China, India,-are being born anew. The old' and new worlds must bring forth the treasures of their souls, and place them i'n common with the greatest world treasure-democracy. For all great expressions of mankind subserve each other, complement each ot.her. And the growth of the democratic ideal must be a synthesis of all the great thoughts ol the world. Beyond the present, unimagined woe, A glorious day is breaking oier the earth: As Spring flowers blossom, after ice-bound snow, The God of Gods shall bring new things to birth. lt is the dawn! Great forces are set free! All hail the clay! Wforld-wide Democracy ll' ' -Mary I-lardin Jones-'l7. -+++-- GRADUATION, .+i.. Heart enlightenment, Great excitement, VVorking night and day.

TIIEGIQET 77 THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL. I ++- On Saturday, February 24th, the voters of the Independence school dis- trict, by an overwhelming majority, took a stand for better edfucation facilities, by carrying the 350,000 High School bond proposition by a vote of 593 for, to 67 against. The opposition was not nearly so strong as it was on August l0th, last, when the supplementary issue of 335,000 was voted. The addition of 315,000 to that amount in the last election, was largely due to the fact that all kinds of material and equipment have advanced in :prices since last year. It is expected that the money which will be realized from the last sale of bonds, plus the money .still on hand from the first issue of S75,000, will complete every detail of the High School and equip it for use in the fall. Work on the new building has been temporarily delayed, but it has recent- ly been resumed, since an agreement has been reached between the contractors and the strikers. This affords considerable satisfaction to the Board of Edu- cation and the school patrons of the Independence district, as it is believed that it will require most of the time between 'now and the opening of scho-ols next fall, to-get the new High School completed. 1 To the advantage of equipment will be added another advantage forthe graduates of I. H. S. Through the efforts of Professor E. B. Street, Independ- ence High School has secured admission into the ,North Central Association of schools-an entrance that places I. H. S. in the same class with every accredited schoolin the United States. This ,ruling not only puts us on the honor list, but assures us recognition and prominence, and provides for our graduates, a readier admission into higher institutions of learning all over the country. i , I QTJID 11,11 19 l will 1.11 'l 151 1l1fl' 1 51511 111515 1 ,N 11 1lI1 1 1 ,111 ?

Miss Phelps, an enthusiastic advocate of industrial preparedness, has 1S- isued several reports which serve to illustrate the workings of such an adequate system of economic training, which was, in a larger sense, a plan to 1nduce the students to become producers instead of mere consumers. The plan was de- veloped in this ma'nner: By refraining from some needless expenditure, each member of the class saved ten cents of his, or her, spending money, this served as capital in the purchase of raw material with which each pupil was to make some economic good. As a matter of fact, the class of thirty realized' fifty-five dollars on the 28 dimes invested. . , Jack Ragland, who will, in time, we believe, force from pre-eminence to mere eminence, the name of the world's greatest sign painter, succeeded, with his natural artistic ability-plus the ten cents,-in making nearly S7. Two of the girls, Estelle jones and Gladys Elliot, who make no preten- tious claims to being adepts in the art of illustration or sign-board work, bought needles and thread and, at the end of the thirty d'ays, turned out some very creditable crochet and embroidery patterns, which they sold to the dis- criminating house-Wives of their neighborhoods. ' Other girls gained' distinction in the culinary department, and the appetiz- ing pastry and confections that they offered at such reasonable rices induced . P many to buy liberally. Jessie Ruth j'ohnson's receipt-s from the sale of her Vassar Fudges were especially good. Virginia Bridges, Whose acquaintance with the music masters is any- thing but limited, bo-ught a catchy piece of music with her dime and readily secured a 'number of ambitious pupils, who, under her careful training could, at the end' of the four Weeks' time, almost play the music-by heart! And, all this time, Florence Fontaine was designing and. painting some very clever little book-marks, which, completed in the allotted time, were hastily seized upon by the c1ty's artistic-notioned bargain hunters. -Gomer Watson's patriotism was expressed in his untiring efforts in Selling fiag-'pins and emblems to like-Wise -patriotic friends and fellow citizens.

' 9 The Art Department this year under the supervision of Miss McNutt has given the students practical lessons in the art of dress. Each girl was. given the task -of producing suitable and artistic clothing for her own figure. This is very beneficial in teaching the young girl to dress herself artistically. The class has done some very interesting work in applied design. The Wood blocks were designed and carved, and were applied on different fabrics with very pleasing results. Some good Work has been done in studies from life. This work although' considered difficult has been done in a commendable way. The Work of the art class this year has been very satisfactory a.nd much beneiit has been derived from it. --Art Editor. 1 iii? .,'1 111 1 3.12 113 4 215 1 --, 'K 1 ll 1 1 1 1, if 1 1' 1 W1 11. r , 11 ,.

It in the breast tumultuous joys arise, Music her soft, assuasive voice appliesg Or, when the soul is pressed with cares, Exalts her in enlivening airs. -Pope. This year the musical department of the high school, in spite of the dis- advantages it has to encounter, has maintained itsiusual high standard. Sev- eral programs have been given under the supervision of Miss Wilsoii, and have been thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated by the music lovers of Inde- pendence. t The course of study has been varied somewhat this year. There is only one class, which meets two periods each day. One period is taken up with the Chorus work. For the remaining time Miss Wfilson has introduced some new methods of study. The great masters are studied one day each week, while two days are given to Harmony and two days to Appreciation. Appreciation includes the study of the operas, which are played on the victrola to give the pupils an opportunity to become familiar with them. This is a distinct innovation and one that is extremely beneficial. The students leave the high school with an appreciation for the highest forms of music, which otherwise they would very rarely have. The in-fluence of music cannot be over estimated, and it is to be hoped, that next year the facilities for the study ol this art will be greatly increased. -C. R.-'17, QQ? H' C 3'-QQ J 2?-in X THE GIRLS GLEE CLUB +L 1 l:l l.1lCC1'l hail en music sounds afar Fai fiom-within the deep recesses of the auditorium stage came the Soft gotes of thefgifls chorus, welcoming again the Christmas-tide of the year. I . ie cen ei o tie stage hung the star of Bethlehem, and as a natural sequence came the angels announcing the birth of Christg then the story of the Savioi-'s life in pleasing music completed the program. Such was the first entertain ment given by the Girls' Glee Club It is 't lono time fiom Christmas until Spring but at last lt was hem and the girls sang in assembly for the seco-nd time. Under the supervision of Miss Wfilson they sang of the sunshine, the birds, the flowers, and the happy Spring days. Everyone left the auditorium smiling and free from care Due to the' untiring efforts of Miss Grace Wilsoii, as supervisor of music, and, to the work of the faithful few, we are able to enjoy, on rare occasions a musical treat. But, as everyone says, there is one thing the matter with the programs, and that is their scarcity --+++-Q THE BOYS GLEE CLUB .l+l. Since music plays a part in almost everyone's life, an effort has been made at the Independence High School to increase the interest of the pupils in this subject by the organization of Glee Clubs. The Glee Clubs are conducted for two purposes-to further the appreciation of music in the high school, and, for the enjoyment of the members of the clubs. Last fall when Mr. Sexton sent out the call for enlistments in the Boys Glee Club for the coming year, a very limited number answered the call. Probably the small number of applicants was due to the 'fact that the rising singers were timid for only recognized songsters reported. After several try- outs Mr. Sexton .selected the following boys as members :-Leslie Leake, Lee Cook 'Lawrence Bartholomew Russell Hunt, Alfred Rider, Paul Clark, Cecil Soldan Els, Wiley Pendleton, and Lewis Akers. These young men'appeared in public at the high school auditorium on December the eighth, and proved their ability by singing several touching Southern melodies and a few hum- orous sketches. We had a good C-lee,Club for its size, but there should have been more members. The Glee Clubs go hand in hand with school s-pirit, and, by the laws of matlqemafics, 35 laid down by Miss Chiles, the larger the Glee Club the, greater will be the school pep. Therefore, we hope, that everyone Who can make a noise will come out next year to help the school and benefit themselves. 'WSW t Q4 ass--wr -' -ai d ' I I I I .

But it is in manual training that boys must learn to apply their physical and mental powers co-operatively so as to secure results. Pupils must design models and then make the different parts with the greatest accuracy, so that there will be no defects. It is always the most original and energetic boys that make the best models. Independence high school offers one of the best equipped shops in the state. Besides equipped work benches and lathes there is a rip saw, a band saw, a mortise machine and a planning machine. To these are added twenty- six different kinds of wood and all varieties of varnish. Such advantages com- bine to make the manual training shop the most popular room in the building with all of the boys and many of the girls. ' The first half of year is spent in furniture making, during whi-ch time many beautiful and substantial pieces ol furniture are turned out. The second semester is spent in lathe work which requires the greatest amount of skill and accuracy. , Different varieties of wood are glued together, from which beauti- fully inlaid and artistically designed articles are turned. These two branches complete the course, as metal work has proven impracticable. Much credit is due Mr. Hifner, who has made the shop successful, as shown by the quality of goods produced, and -popular, as shown by the num- ber of boys and' girls demanding to be admittted to the classes.

We were to meet Liberty, our old adversary, in a gridiron contest to completely annihilate her, so to speak, or to reluctantly accept defeat. A funeral was held in the auditorium over her 'fto-be remains the morn- ing before the contest. Our most sagacious friend and fellow student, Lee A.. Cook, delivered an appropriate sermon in a manner much to his credit, as an able orator and satirist. Amid loud acclamations from the various members of the' mourning corps the remains of Liberty were formally given over to the gods of defeat. School was dismissed at an early hour in the afternoon and, accompanied by the celebrated high school band the students marched out in a body to the scene of the conflict. The first quarter was rather tame, but the second quarter opened with both teams in fighting trim and both determined to vanquish the other. Sev- eral times both were within ten yards of their opponent's goal but here the lines became invincible. There was only a few minutes 'of the first half to play and we were on Liberty's 45 yard line. VV-w-watch that man l yelled Huff. Low, men, low V' bellowed Asher. Make a holed' pleaded I-Ienry, I-I-O-L-D T-I-I-A-T L-I-N-E! screamed the crowd. The ball snappedg the line dropped, the backs chargedg the players groaned and Captain Henry rushed out of the fray with the ball and wriggled and twisted forty-five yards to a touchdown. The crowd went wild and yelled like so many Comanche Indians. The remainder of the game was nip and tuckf' but nevertheless, Liberty came out on the small end of a seven to three score. The Liberty team was a bunch of good sports and good players, but they were beaten because the Independence team had a better variety of plays and a greater amount of pep. 92 - I H s 0, ' 19 1.

Did you ever thrill inside, and want to become a star foot-ball player, when you saw a team run perfect interference, or a man as neatly dump that interference? If you never have, then the Independence-Higginsville game was not a 'place for your at- tendance. When Higginsville came to Independence, they had not been beaten for three years, and, furthermore a team had never gotten any closer to a touch- down than their 20-yard line. In the hrst quarter of the game our team was on their 5-yard line, but lost the ball in an attempt to make a touchdown. Higginsville then carried the ball back to the middle of the field, where the teams struggled back and forthluntil the last quarter. The last quarter was the time for our rooters to be scared, for our opponents had the better wi'nd,' and marched down the field to our 20-yard line g at that moment the whistle blew and left the final calculations 0 and' 0. Even though we did not break Higginsville's winning streak we con- sider it an honor to have played such a team to a nothing to nothing score. THE, ATHLETE. .l.+l With his coach, on one of the side lines, a boy sat with his head in his hand, with elbow on his knee watching the football game of the year. A leather headgear was on his head, and from his neck his blue sweater was thrown back by reason of the heat. He was a stalwart young fellow-brown- haired, broad-chested, with limbs as lithe as the willow, and muiscles like the panther's. His suit, one of the kind worn by the I. H. S. football team, was 11eat and trim, his stockings reaching to his knees were blue and' white. He watched the game with the eyes of a cat, and there rested upon him the alert air of the coach himself-the beauty of a big, lithe animal. Wheii at the end of a down, a cheer arose and a way was made through the crowd for the exit of an injured man, he sprang from his seat and bounded into the game, eager to fight for victory or go down to an honorable defeat. , -S.

S., 33. . . +l. Staging-a fast game Saturday, March the 24th, on the new Central I-Iigh School court at Linwood and Indiana, I. M. Sexton's athletes, by a great ex- hibtion of goal shooting, defeated the Rockhursts of Kansas City, thereby cinching the chanqiionship in the School and College League. The final count was 33 to 20. We obtained a live point lead and the brilliant handling of the ball by Asher and Powell .finished the quarter with a IO to 8 score in favor of I. 'I-I. S. Starting the second quarter two points in the lead, Asher spurred the In- dependence live on their way to victory by four free throws and a goal. Cap- tain Long followed the formei-'s play with a blind basket closing fthe .half at 18 .to'9 with Independence on the long end. 'Independence s-cored five points -in the third quarter, and Hale, for Rock- hurst, counted four free throws, followed by Maso-n's ea-sy shot from the court. In the last uarter, 'the Rockhurst quintet was outaplayedalll the way, fl making-only five points to I. I-I. Sfs ten. V GMD ? . fa - ' I. H.

As the saying is, the Lowe-Campbells were right there with the team- work and simply neat at maci g I skillful caffersz-Paul Long, Joe Asher Harry Adams, Homer Lewis Bourke Pobwell and Ashton Sollars. The frame .was full of good' shots and thrilling plays as shown by the score. Three times Homer Lewis scored from center, while Harry Adams not to be beaten made a perfect shot from several feet back -of the middle mark. Vlfe had many more spectacular plays such as keeping the ball away from Lowe-Campbell s for over two minutes in the second quarter. Those who saw the game saidl that there was more good basketball prlaying in it than they had ever seen in any one game in their lives. . It is not always in the games of the closest scores that the best playing is done. The'Lowe-Campbell score might indicate that our guarding was poor, but, when we remember that our boys had the famous Wiclcline to guard we know differently. And our goal shooting was certainly good, since we made the largest score ever made against the Lowe-Campbell team. Although we, did not win, this game gave us a position among basket ball followers to be envied by a.ny high school team. T lm- ATHLETICS AT I. H. S. . . . l ' Every pupil in the Independence High School is encouraged to take part in some line of athletics. Class teams and school teams in football basket ball base ball and tennis are maintained under the direction of Mr. I. M. Sexton, an able coach and trainer. There is no gymnasium in the school. However a good, well-lighted and heated basket ball court, with dressing facilities, has always been provided. In the new building there will be a fully equipped gynasium with Shower bath and lockers. The Fai? Gf011UClS, Situated conveniently at the end of the car line, furnish- es a good. gridiron and base ball diamonds. The Church tennis Courts near the school are open to all who wish to play. b With these facilities I. H.

THE JUNIOR RECEPTION . -,+- Probably there is no other social event during the high school career that means as much to the Junior and Senior classes, as the annual Junior Recep- tion. This is the time when heaven tries earth, if it be in tune, and each successive class vies with the last for supremacy. Being a Senior of '16, it is hard to convince me that our junior Reception could have been outclassed, but the Juniors surely equaled it in every detail. The reception was held on the evening of May 5, 1916 at the high school. The Seniors were welcomed by the class officers. In the receiving line were: Miss Nellie Rider, Miss Mae Bowdle, Miss julia Porter, Mr. Erskine Robinson, Mr. Wiley Pendleton, Mr. Lawrence Bostian, Mr. Clifford Kelley, Mr. Arthur Henry and Mr. Lee C-ook. , The frpnt hall which was artfully transformed into a beautiful Japanese garden with a fountain and chimes, and dimly lighted paper lanterns made an attractive and artistic receiving room. The other reception rooms were ap- propriately, decorated with the Senior class colors, green andf gold. Pretty window draperies, rugs and comfortable furniture added to the general at- mosphere of cordiality and welcome. The Japanese idea was further used in decorating the auditorium, where a vine covered trellis made an attractive background together with ferns and crabapple blossoms. The entertainment planned for the evening was a play, The Steadfast Princess -an artistic production, appealing to the imagination with wonderful opportunity for the' spectacular to be developed. As hinted in the title, it was a Cinderella fairy story with a handsome prince, fMr. INiley Pendletonj who made possible the dream of a poor little girl to become a princess, with all the accompanying alluring inducements that such a position of prestige could demand. Miss Mae Bowdle, as the princess, interpreted this part in her usual capable manner. Aesthetic dances and music and other artistic touches added to the success of the play.

Thus, to .say .the reception was carried out 'junior fashion in every detail, spells its success with a capital NS . -M. K. R. '16 GIRLS ENTERTAIN FOOTBALL TEAM. ..-gl We like to believe that our football boys have always entertained a pretty good opinion of us-we, the Senior girls of '17, who rooted so vociferously for them at each successive victory last season, and who encouraged them to fight, more determinedly their gridiron battles. Perhaps it was these same heroes who, publicly or privately, declared that we were a pretty good sort -and remember, now that all this was before the banquet! After that great event of'1916 fame, the football squad's good opinion of us was enchanced to an even greater degree, and at no time since, have we ceased to revel in their good graces. The feast-and oh! boys, it was some spread !-was given in the audi- torium on the evening of November lst, l9l6. The school colors, green and white, predomina.ted in the stage decorations, and baskets of chrysanthemums and geraniums contributed materially to the scenic effect. Mr. Hibbitts, as toastmaster, proved equal to the occasion, and' appropriate speeches were made by each member of the team. Songs and music tended to augment the festivities and when at a late hour, the hostesses and their guests departed, it was to the lingering strains of XK7hen You Come to the End' of a Perfect Day. -C. F.-il7. THE SENIORS? PARTY. -Mg, ' Our I-Iallowe'en party was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. I. E. Bridges. At the garage door we were met by spooks and after winding our way up many stairs were halted by two ghosts guarding a coffin. The evil spirits were dis- persed by music. The Senior boys rendered many beautiful pieces on bottles, stove shovels and the like, under the direction of Mr. Russel-1 Hunt. The favors were awarded to Miss Violet Simpson and Mr. Clifford Kelley, the best dis- guised. 1 A After the delightful refreshments were served, various games held the company until a late hour. Misses Brown and Phelps, the Seniors' Sponsors, were present. . 1 ll? ,vm-,-P.. .xg j l Cl, ' .l li if lvl il? :Vi w f,. if I El ' ,Ll slit lil 1 531 Nl l .

Beneath a weepin' willow tree There stood a city lad, His head' and hands were all bound up, . His face was pale and sad. For he had come to the country three days ago to get a breath of the sweet, violet-laden air, which he was told would be floating all over the place in the greatest of plenty. But, instead of that, he found the air full of grass seed, and contracted hay fever, and then he fell from the farm-house roof and landed in a hive of bees, which stung him badly, and chased him into the thorns of a near-by cow. And now, after the doctor had eased his blistered face and broken arms, he stood under the willow-tree, waiting for the outgoing train, which left at ten-eighteen or twenty. And, by his side, stood the lil' country girl whom he had come so many weary miles to see, and who so softly cried as he put the tips of his swollen fingers on her shoulders and made this heart-rending and intensely solemn vow: E V E Vvlliilf the wind sighs thro' the country, When they use a brand of cows that have no horns, Wlieii the bees have lost their art, I'1l return to you, sweetheart, Wlien the wind sighs thro' the whiskers of the C01-11, -wi- ERNN' Who Knows :- How often Miss Phelps gets a new yellow book?

Talk as We will about internationalism, our first devotion is to our own country, and rightly so. Loyalty is the bond that makes life in association worth While. It is constantly present, andl influences our lives in a thousand ways. From our earliest days We are bound by loyalty to our family, our friends, our school, our state, our nation. Every Week I am reminded of the ties that were established at Independ- ence High School. Six years have sped away since I was there, but my class- mates are Mary and George and Arthur to me yet, and their greeting invari- ably suggests the happy days of 1908-ll. I am loyal to my class and to my school because they mean much to me and I love them. No doubt my experience is typical of hundreds more: my visits back to School are no index to my interest. The success of I. I-I. S. is as gratifying as ever and the achievement of any graduate is my pride as alvvaysg but I seldom go back to my old class rooms. This is by Way of apology as well as explanation because I know we are welcome there. I am happy to reaffirm my loyalty to the I. H. S. and to the Class of 1911. I wish them both the finest measure of success. Sincerely, -Arthur E. McKim. PII 110 as 3 2 4 + Q 2 T P , . f E 3 MAJOR 8: HUMPHREY i E. V. Price 8x Co. Clothing P J. B.

You can help them to be happier and more com- fortable by giving them a kit of mending mater- ials, extra handkerchiefs, a new comb and brush, a shaving mirror-just a ,few of many little com- forts they' ll thank you for a thousand times. Ask the boys you know what they would like to have. Or come in and we'll suggest surprises for them.
