E3 l - Q 0 , Q - .Qi fi EE E3 PURPOSE AND IDEALS OF THE peal to their esthetic taste and their GLEAMJ' It is the earnest desire of the Senior Class in editing this number of the Gleam to show the assiduous co-operation of the Student Body of this High School, to bring out the wit and humor that is inevitable in High School students, and to impress on the minds of the most skeptical the facts that the Seniors possess a keen in- terest in the higher things of life, and are by no means given over to frivolity. This year the. students of our school have acted harmoniously and with deliberation 3 they have supported most loyally all ac- tivities of educational nature, have turned out in a body to witness all demonstra- tions pertaining to athletics, and when the time came when financial support was es- sential to determine whether or not the Gleam should survive, every student ral- lied to the colors, It is to this fine spirit of union and co-operation that this book owes its existence. In obtaining the humorous material for this volume, we determined to be as orig- inal as possible and to get only that which was clean and wholesome, that which would not offend the most sensitive. The under classmen have been given as much part in this material as the Seniors, thus making the Gleam more of a school maga- zine and less a class affair, as it has hith- erto been. The Seniors, in all of their activities, have endeavored to give something to the school and to the public that would ap- classical appreciation. It is hoped with due sincerity, that the readers of this an- nual will appreciate these honest efforts and uphold the Seniors in their effort to maintain a high standard of journalism. E. B. STREET. - - Mr. Street has been with us now for three years, and during that time has proved himself to be for anything that is fair and just and upright and that per- tains to the development of the school or for the welfare of the pupils. The best example of this fact is shown by his work in getting the Independence High School entered as a first class school of the North Central Association. He has been interested in all our ac- tivities-an ardent supporter of football, basket ball, baseball and track, the Boys' Glee' Club, the Girls' Glee Club, and the Debating Society. . He has been at all our parties. Did he not enter into the very heart- and soul of the amusements and games at our Junior reception, at the Hallowieen party, and at the Senior-Sophomore gathering? We maintain that Mr. Street is for anything that is of benefit to the school and the pupils, he will stand behind anything you want so long as it is honorable and clean. Look at our Student Government, he has always been a loyal advocate of such a system. Now since we have the begin- ning of such a system in the school, he THE' G has put his shoulder to the wheel and is pushing as hard as any student. If ever a human being needed a cheer- ful disposition it would be a man who has to work under difficulties that would make a saint sidestep from the narrow and straight path of sunshine. Imagine a man doing twelve hours oflice work for two schools in a cloak room which is used as a resting place or reception hall by the pupils and all their friendsg of having to answer nine hundred and ninety-nine questions an hour as to how Johnnie is getting along with his Algebra, or why he can't be excused the last three periods so asjto get home in time for lunchg of having to act as custodian for all lost and found articles, as well as a bureau of information and a secretary of the Junior Red Cross organization. Yet you wonder why he does not smile all the time. ,We, the Seniors, know and appreciate' the fact, and we want the rest of the school to know and appreciate it also, that Mr. Street is first, last and always for the school and the pupils who attend. We honor Mr. Street because he is our friend. APPRECIATION OF OUR TEACHERS. We wish to express our sincere appre- ciation of our teachers with whom we have been associated these four years, and who have so earnestly tried to instill with- in our hearts ideals high and true, and to help us lay foundations upon which to build. Their strong characters and high ideals have furnished a pinnacle which many of us have struggled to attain. Especially for the guidance and help in outside activities, we owe the deepest gratitude. In all our interests-pleasures and troubles-the teachers have shown sympathy with us, enjoying what we en- joyed, and directing when we needed di- recting. They have given freely of their ideas and time, to help us make a success LEAM 31 of all our undertakings, and we feel that it is largely because of their co-operation that we have made a success. Naturally we have been more closely associated with some than with others, but there has been so little of the spirit of aloofness and so much of sympathy that we shall remem- ber with pride our association with each teacher. We fear sometimes that we have failed to show our appreciation for the kindness and help of our teachers. Perhaps we do not yet 'fully realize what an influence they have had over our lives, but we feel that we shall realize now each year what they have meant to us. We wish that each teacher might know the gratitude and appreciation which we feel. JANITORS. Janitors! What does the word suggest to you? Probably Mr. Morgan, with his cheery smile, if you are so fortunate as to attend the old I. H. S. Custodian may sound more dignified, but somehow just plain janitor appeals more. Cheerfulness is a necessary require- ment in any line of employment, and cer- tainly the long suffering janitor needs plenty of it. When someone is stupid or awkward enough to turn over an ink bot- tle, his first thought is of the janitor. Then who is it that cheerfully--apparent ly so at least-cleans up after our class parties and spreads? The answer is evi- dent, of course. With what a feeling of contentment have we left those parties, knowing that all would appear as usual the next day. Few of us were even thoughtful enough to thank the janitor for his trouble. How patient he is! He must take the place of the lost and found bureau and even general information bureau on occa- sions. Don't blame the poor fellow if he gets on a grouch once in a while. 32 THE G . Have you ever thought how really es- sential janitors are in the scheme of school life? We have to thank them for the comfort, ventilation and cleanliness of the buildings, and in this hygienic age. of ours, these things count for a lot. No smallpox scares or quarantined schools for us! But even though our janitors are a cheerful, good natured bunch of fellows, remember they are human, and do not im- pose upon good nature. OUR SERVICE. Independence High School is no slackerg we have contributed to every worthy cause that Uncle Sam has asked us to, and some he did not. We have contributed first, and of little importance, our moneyg second, and of little importance, our time 5 but lastly, Uncle Sam, we have given you our boys 5 they are our best. Independence High is truly represented in our country's service. WE have boys in the infantry, cavalry, artillery, aviation, navy, engineer corps, medical corps, ambu- lance corps, hospital corps, and the home guards5 and what is more, we have girls in the civil service and Red Cross. We have boys in France now in active serv- ice, many are at the training camps, and many more are going 5 we have boys in the air and on the seas, Uncle Sam, we -are answering your call. We are truly proud of our boys, just look at our honor roll. Not only have we an honor roll, but we have a splendid service flag. Our flag is red, white and blue in its truest sense. The red border stands for sacrifice-we have sacrificed, they have sacrificed, nearly everything that is possible. Our boys have gone, they have severed home tiesg they have left unfinished their schooling and in some cases their life's work5 they have abandoned every home comfort that they may go when they are needed. The white center stands for purity 5 the purity LEAM of our cause for war, the purity of our boys, the purity of our democracy. The blue in our fiag is the stars 5 this blue, the blue of the skies after a summer shower, is the symbol of truth. Each and every star on our flag stands for a boy in the service5 and bet your all, if you are a bet- ting man, that each of these boys is going to be true, true to his parents, true to his sweetheart and true blue through and through to his country. We are proud of our boys because they have gone, but we are doubly proud because almost every one has gone of his own free will.. He has offered his life to his country that democracy may live, and that the UNITED STATES, hav- ing conceived and fostered it, 'may pre- serve it with the life blood of the best young men, and if need be, with that of our young women also. All honor to those who have gone before, and have held the line and that are holding the line, till the time when, if necessary, we may go and do our bit. If we at home cannot go, may we not do our bit here? Do you know it takes the support of five men at home to keep one of our boys at the front? Every one knows this is not a war of those who have so nobly sacrificed every comfort and have gone east, but a war in which the home folks are most vitally concerned. Now, it is for us at home to dedicate our lives to our boys over there, that they may speedily conquer those barbarian hosts from the Black Forestl' and make the world safe for democracy. , THE JUNIOR RECEPTION. For many years it has been the custom of the Junior class to have an elaborate reception near the close of the school year in honor of the class graduating. This event was looked forward to. with great pride by the Juniors. .The class of '19 had been planning to give such a reception that would outdo THE' G all previous attempts and were determined to show the school what they could ac- complish in the way of social entertain- ment. Now, the Juniors never act impulsively, and the '19 Juniors acted with unusual deliberation. They realized that this is a time when our country is engaged in a sanguinary struggle, and that she is call- ing upon everyone to conserve and elimi- nate all needless expenditures, and that every little saved helps feed our boys across the water. So when it was sug- gested that they change their reception plans for patriotic reasons, the class voted to do it. This is indeed one of the most patriotic moves that has taken place in our school, and the Juniors are to be commended for it, since it was literally a sacrifice. Now they will give a f'Mixer, and by doing this they win the admiration and respect of every one in school. Hats off to the Juniors. Success to them as Seniors! THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL. It was with a feeling of intense reluc- tance that the majority of the members of the seventh and eighth grades entered the Central High School for the Hrst time last September. The idea of going to school all afternoon did not appeal, many of the teachers were not personally known, and the pupils of the various schools clung together. The pupils were certain that they would not enjoy going to the Junior High School. But after a few weeks new friendships were formed, the teachers proved to be more congenial than the skeptical ones had anticipated and the few minutes re- laxation between classes met with the hearty approval of all. Soon the old school rivalry was forgotten, and everyone be- came interested in the Junior High. When the basket ball season began, the boys were eager to practice, and a team LEAM 33 was organized under the supervision of Mr. Sexton. Several interesting games were played at the new gymnasium, and the Junior High proved a match for the wiry Freshmen. Student government was inaugurated and each student cast his vote for his candidate much with the same pride that a voter casts his first vote in a presiden- tial election. Many interesting assemblies of educa- tional nature were held and committees from the different classes were appointed to provide entertainment at the assembly each day. Much interest was taken by the students in debating. Teams were or- ganized from each class and debates were held each week which have created a great deal of interest in the school. The Junior High School pupils are to be commended in their loyal support of all Senior High activities, namely, to the vaudeville, carnival, football, basket ball games and also for their contributions to the High School Booster. If they continue with their pep they will eventually become paragons. SENIOR DEMOCRACY. United we stand, divided we-fall, is not the motto of the Senior Class, but it is certainly our slogan. It has been the object of this intellectual aggregation, during its four years, to work as a unit and for the best end possible. This may be shown by the attitude the class took towards a question in the Junior year, where the majority gave up to the minor- ity to keep the class a unit. Our class has not had the factional element which keeps some classes divided. Have you heard any Senior say, Oh! just that running it. No, it is always of as Ours, meaning that every is interested. We do not know is to contend with the clique prob- bunch spoken Senior what it lem which has to be faced by many classes. 34 THE GLEAM Whatever the class determines to do is entered into with enthusiasm by all. Along with this, we might bring in our attitude towards school unity. No class in school has more school spirit or tries harder to make the school an intellectual unitthan does the Senior class. We have tried to employ all the talent obtainable in the school in all of our activities without regard to where the talent was obtained. And it is due to these' democratic princi- ples that we obtained the hearty co-opera- tion of the class, consequently the reason we have-been successful iniour undertak- ings. I THE WILLIAM CHRISMAN HIGH 'I I i SCHOOL. To 'attend our new High School was our long-hoped-for ambition, but alas, because of difliculties the school was not finished, and away went our ambition of three years' growth. As far back as our Fresh- men. year we had hopes of getting a new school, and that hope had grown by years, then the bonds were voted, the building started, but as' yet it is not finished. The work has been slow but sure. A part of our ambition will be fulfilled since we will be allowed to graduate in the William Chrisman High School. Just a word to the rest of the school. You will be there next year and the next, and so-on until you have finished. Now while you are there make a name for your- self and for your school. You have the opportunity, now take it. We are sorry we didn't have the opportunity, because as an honest fact, we believe our class was the one which should have had the oppor- tunity, we feel safe in-saying we would have made things whirl, as it was, we have made things more than hum, and that was in this old building. Now you show us whether you are as good or bet- ter than we by what you will do with this opportunity. that is being placed at your door. Remember while you are at it that there are many classes to follow you, and what you make of your opportunity will have much eiect upon those following you. , - l-Arla ' i pn 0, Ann l i4 Lf 55 '-Q Jr 'TY l i , - elf in rw J T O l Dr 1 D P40 40 I 10 J '49 A ' WllllllllIllFll'f l U I I 0. . 0 B 01 R+ 0 0 xnxx- 01 THE GLEAM LAUGHTER. ' She laughed and was glad, A For she was a child and knew nothing of sorrow, Rejoiced in the day, and thought nothing of the morrow. The silvery tones seemed to dance in delight, And the entire surroundings were bathed in sunlight. She laughed and was better For she had been tried and had failed in the test, She had tried and had failed though she had done her 5 C, b The laugh had no mirth, it was empty, was hollow, ' Seemed to call to Despair, O lead on! I will follow. She laughed and was sad, For she had grown older, met her share of sorrow, And hers was a sadness none could borrow, O, her laugh was a sob, from the depths of her heart, It came from her soul, tore her spirit apart. She laughed and understood, ' For she had fought her fight, and at last she had won, She knew life was serious, not made up of fun. Her laugh was of gold, rich and mellow, and free, Her laugh was a real laugh-to be envied by me. -M. est. C. S THE G THE SUN IS SINKING IN THE WESTU In the autumn the sun makes a huge fireplace of the world, in which its immor- tal fire is kindled, to burn until the first snow covers everything with a white blanket. The trees indeed burn brightly. Yellow, orange, red and green mingle with the universal brown into one huge flame of color. In the foreground, the poison- ivy, and Virgina creeper, not to be out- done, nestle their blood-red leaves against the gray tree trunks. The parched grass, sprinkled with leaf-sparks, looks ready to fire at a moment's notice. The over-zeal- ous sun in its efforts to consume the world, has set the sky afire. It blazes forth in scarlet intensity, while the dying embers to the north and south shine gold and pink, intermingle with the deep blue of the sky overhead. Just as the sun sinks out of sight, one sees, as pictures are seen in the glowing coals, an old man reclining on a couch, his head supported by his hand, while he muses on the beau- ties of the scene below. Gradually he fades from sight, and the fire, in earth and heaven, is put out by the shadow of the wings of night. M. P., '19. THE UNDERSEA SLEUTH. Dan Bahama stood in the bow of his small, dingy skiff as it danced excitedly on the sparkling waves of the Pacific Ocean. It was early one morning in the latter part of April of the year 1917. As his tossing boat neared the towering sides of the California line fruit steamer, Ana- conda, he eagerly looked upward, search- ing for the familiar face of his young friend, Harry Reynolds. The Anaconda had entered Ocoa Bay late the night be- fore and was now anchored before the thriving town of Manzanillo, the most im- portant seaport of the Dominican repub- lic, whose chief industry was the exporta- tion of tropical fruits, particularly bana- nas. Already the busy natives were load- ing their flat barges with great, half- green bunches of the fruit, while the ship's crew was active in getting the ship ready for her cargo. Dan did not have long to wait, for suddenly the ladder at the ship's side v. as lowered and an ath- letic young man clad in the blue and white uniform of a third officer descended and LEAM 37 nearly wrung Dan's hand off, so hearty was his greeting. Top of the morning, Dan, he called. Say, I'm certainly glad to get into this quiet harbor of yours. Had nothing but wind and rain the whole trip over. Then suddenly, Dan, you haven't seen anything of those submarines I mentioned last voy- age, have you ? Not hide nor hair of 'em, as you say, Mister Harry, answered Dan. But I come might' near seein' inside of a mon- str'us shark other day on the reef. You'd better keep away from that reef, even if the pearl pickings are the best there. Some fine day one of those sharks 'ill get you, warned Harry. But come up on deck and I'll show you our nice, new six-inch rifle the government gave us for U-boat protection. The next morning Harry sailed away with his ship's hold full of good things for his fellow-citizens back home, while Dan went back to his work as a pearl- diver. For several days his work went on as before but his profits were small, due to the fact that he thought too much about a certain group of the Kaiser's me- chanical sharks which had been terroriz- ing the shipping in the waters about the Bahama Islands, and whose base, accord- ing to Harry's and many other naval offi- cers' ideas, was supposed to be near Ocoa Bay. The fourth day after Harry's departure, Dan was out near the reef in his skiff and was about to dive, when a long, thin, pipe- like something with one large, glass eye, popped out of the water a few feet from his boat. Dan instantly thought of the periscope of a submarine, remembering Harry's description of one, and as it hur- riedly withdrew beneath the surface, he, took a long breath and dived for the sub- marine's eye, clutching it about the mid- dle, so as not to be seen by the crew of the boat, as he felt himself drawn down- ward and forward with what, to him, seemed a terrific speed. Herrealized that to find the hidden base he must hold on to the limit of his endurance and then fol- low the wake left by the boat, granting, of course, that the base was near by. Sud- denly, as if impelled by a sixth sense of danger, he looked behind him to see an 38 THE GLEAM enormous shark bearing down on him with white teeth agleam, and gaining every second. Dan reached for the knife at his waist, and, wrapping his legs securely about the periscope so as to have his hands free as possible, he met the first fierce lunge squarely. But both opponents missed their aim. The second attack was a narrow escape for Dan, but the third was the shark's Waterloo, Dan's knife burying itself to the hilt in its body- The shark's, death struggles were not wit- nessed by his victor, for Dan's head sud- denly popped out of the water and he made for the bank of a small, inclosed la- goon, in which he found himself. When he reached the bank he took care to come up among some reeds and overhanging grass so as to be unseen by the crew of the boat if they should appear. He was gasping for breath, and his face was pur- ple from being so long without air. The hatch of the submarine now opened and the crew fell to work replenishing their supply of oxygen. When the task was completed, the boat disappeared, and as soon as he was sure it was gone, Dan swam out to open water and soon found his own boat, taking careful note of the place and its surroundings. He remem- bered hearing of the place before as a small bay which could only be entered by such small craft as his and surmised that the submarine must have found a navigable entrance below the surface and discovered it to be ideal for a hidden base of operations in that vicinity. Hurriedly paddling in-shore he drew his boat up on the beach and made his way to the office of the United States consul of the island. Arriving there, he eagerly reported his discovery and had the pleas- ure of being present at the capture of four submarines, one after another, as they came into the base. The only blot on the whole aiair, to Dan, was that Harry was not present at the time also, but .that was fully made up for when he praised Dan for the exploit, and, most important of all, told him how he might become a worker for Uncle Sam all the time by serving in the navy. Soon after. Dan took up his vvrw-If fm one of the Philippine Islands so that he might take out his naturalization papers. He is now a deep-sea diver on one of the American destroyers, doing his bit to Kan the Kaiser. J. R. '21. l SNOW IS FALLING HARD AND FAST.

Sergeant-at-Arms THE AIM OF THE DEBATING S0- CIETY. The time has come when a man is meas- ured by his mental achievements, by his education 3 the time has passed when a man may be a leader, -may be an influen- tial factor in his community because of physical power- Today a man must know social conditions, social problems, he must know of international affairs, he must know political and economic condi- tions. He must not only know these things, but must weigh and measure the economic, social, and political problems facing the world, and determine their in- flglince upon individuals, communities, and s a es. In each person must be developed the too often latent power of reasoning from cause to effect, if his consideration and deductions are to be worthy of considera- tion. But there is another step to be taken after a person has developed this power-he must be able to communicate his ideas to his fellow beings. The value of a thought lies in the presenting, the putting into action and use of the idea. Ideas can be transmitted only through words. Therefore, a person must neces- sarily develop the art of expressing and conveying to another his thoughts if he is going to be useful. Into every life comes a time when a public expression of thought is necessary. Your value to your community lies in your power to express the best that is in you. This power of expression can be obtained only by practice. The Excelsior Debating Society was or- ganized with these ideas as a foundation. The students, feeling the truth of the statement, that a man is known by his speech even as he is known by his com- panions, organized a debating society. 48 THE G Their fundamental aim was to make them- selves more efficient, more capable stu- dents and citizens. They desired to learn of and know important issues of the day and, while learning facts, to learn to think for themselves, and to be able to express themselves in good, pure, concise English. F. B. '18. I. H. S. vs. LEXINGTON H. S. . The Excelsior Debating Society of I. H. S. met Lexington High January 18 at the Lexington High School building, in the first and only league debate of the season. The question at issue was: Resolved, That a Federal Law Providing for Com- pulsory Arbitration Between Employee and Employer, Is Wise and Feasiblef' In- dependence was represented by Rufus Burrus, first affirmative, and Doc Gore, second affirmative, Lexington took the negative. The judges were chosen from Kansas City, Buckner, and Wellington. The debate was opened by Mr- Burrus, alleging that the nation is suffering from the efects of strikes, and that no method lacking the compulsory feature can pos- sibly alleviate these conditions. The first negative answered Mr. Burrus in a stirring argument, maintaining that strikes are justif1able,'and that concilia- tory methods are the only equitable means of settling labor disputes. Mr. Gore af- firmed that Compulsory Arbitration has already been proved a success in foreign countries, and, being constitutional, is ap- plicable to the United States. LEAM A The second negative replied with the assertion that the malicious results of strikes are trivial, when compafed to the benefits, also charging that CQIHPUISOYY Arbitration is unfair and unfeasible. The rebuttals were full of extemporary logic, and were delivered with fiery eloquence. The judges gave a unanimous decision in favor of the negative, but Mr. Burrus, with the style of a good sportsman, ac- knowledged defeat, and won the favor of every one presentg thereby adverting all possibility of a breach 'of friendship be- tween the contestants, which not uncom- monly follows a debate.

S., during the past year, the ques- tion of, What has been done to help the nation in the great cause of war? natur- ally presents itself. We answer with pride. Very fittingly the leadership fell to the Seniors, who changed the Thanksgiving program from a matter of custom, to a patriotic duty and raised a sum of more than S40 for the Red Cross, by charging an admission, which was not begrudged even by the most selfishif Our Public Library has been the source of a constant stream of good books and periodical literature to the camps, since the demand for reading matter by the Y. M. C. A. and through Postmaster Gen- eral Burleson. Just before Christmas a large contri- bution for the Y. M. C. A. was given by the members of the different classes. Fol- lowing this came the request for the Senior Red Cross memberships, which was answered with the same zeal, because, to many, response had become a cheerful habit. Christmas time came with the new problems of cheering our soldiers at the front and their families at home. Since an elaborate Christmas could not be pro- vided for all, the English plan of carol singing was adopted, and with the co-op- eration of the Junior High and the ward schools, carols were sung on every street in town. The Baby Bonds and Thrift Stamps were Within the reach of everyone and more than 55500 worth were sold during the campaign. Last and most successful of all was the Junior Red Cross campaign. The sale of memberships aggregated more than 100 per cent of the students enrolled, making our High School a Red Cross unit, so that our boys and girls can make and pack bandages and clothing for the wounded soldiers and orphan children of war wrecked Europe.

' At this Mr. Plank The Sophomore, sank, And he gave to the Junior, named Frances Cook, A-dangerous and most terrible look. Then' the Ralph Dryden gent, ever ready to preach, A Stroked his long mane of hair and he burst into speech: Is it fitting and proper-the answer is 'No,' That while we Seniors quickly to commencement go We continue our work in these halls of old age And continue to feel shut up as in a cage. Now we Should agree ,C As we're mightily gifted, And loftily lifted, The 'Hustlers Up' of this New School to be. Let us now, without doubt, H Carry our ideas out. Why I. H.

Then up spoke George Plank, very calm and se- rene: 'Tye an idea on hand That is perfectly grand- Good enough to come out in our school magazine. Let us on the School Board direct a fierce raid, Let us show those old people that we're not afraid. E To them we will say ' That we're tired of delay.

The State Teacher-Training course Was secured for our High School through the efforts of Mr. Street, and the Independ- ence School District undertook the profes- sional equipment of teachers this year for the first time. The graduates from this course, after teaching successfully for eight months in a rural school and attending one term at a state normal school, may receive a first grade county certificate. These teachers are thus much better prepared for their work than most rural teachers, and are in great demand all over the state. - These girls have taken a special course in Red Cross surgical-dressing Work, and, having obtained Red Cross certificates, are qualified for teaching this workg they may also be called upon for service as aid to a nurse. , ' The girls of the Senior course have taught as substitutes in the Ward school all year, and have rendered valuable serv- ice, at the same time getting the training from practice teaching. They also spent a Week in observation and teaching in some of the rural schools in the county. Independence has every reason to be proud of these teachers, and no doubt Will have even more cause to be so as they make a success in their teaching and give to others the ideals which it will be their privilege to impart.

List to the chimes of History- And hear what they will play. Yes, it was the night of the Junior Reception. For weeks, months, it seemed, we had heard whispers of it. The Juniors gathered in little groups in the halls, and tantalizingly their voices hummed in phrases unintelligible to our ears- Then finally, the Seniors received their long- looked-for invitations and accepted them. The evening of the 28th of April was all that could be desired in the way of weath- er. It made the hearts seem lighter which had been a trifle sad at the thoughts of leaving our dear I. H. S., and the minds seem brighter which had become serious at the thought of crossing the threshold of life. ' We were expecting much of the Class of '18, which was well known for its artistic ability, its originality and its enthusiasm. We entered the door of the school we knew, and ascended the stairs so familiar to our sight, to find at the top a place transformed, a very garden of delight. A The rosy lights were veiled bythe blos- soms of wild crab-apple which made the air heavy with their perfume, and great masses of the snowy blossoms clustered against the white lattice of the -feigned garden, giving a delightful rustic appear- ance to the rooms. Rustic furniture and the grouping of palms and ferns added to the atmosphere of the place, while girls, great gorgeous butterflies, or delicate moths, hovered about in company with the more prosaic bees in their quiet uniform. Friend greeted friend, Seniors and Juniors, Faculty and School Board, all feeling themselves in the same class of happy people. We were soon called away from this lovely place to the most delight- ful part of our evening's entertainment. The sound of music led us up the stairs to the long hall where were placed two long tables the length of the hall, all laid for the banquet. At intervals in the cen- ter of the tables were apple bl0SS01T1S in crystal bowls, and rose colored candles lent an atmosphere of enchantment to the white tables. There was no doubt as to where we should sit, because at each place was a place card bearing the name, an appropriate sentiment and a Kewpie artis- tically drawn and tinted to portray the characteristics of the owner. After the first course of the elaborate banquet was served, the strains of a French harp broke upon our ears and a doughty Scotchman in kilts and Tam O'Shanter announced that The Campbells Are Coming. While the familiar words of Lochinvar were read, a group of boys humorously portrayed the famous charac- ters. We saw the scene in the bride's home, the bride herself, and the Upoor, spineless bridegroom to whom she was be- trothed. There were the wedding guests and the parents of the bride. All was se- rene-when in dashed young Lochinvar, snatched up his bride, and bore her tri- umphantly away. Again we turned our attention to the palatable food, and, as we were finishing the second course, from a dark corner of the hall crept ghostly figures, weird and uncanny, who danced a strange fantastic dance to the tune of John 'Brown's Body. During the last course there were ap- propriate toasts and talks by Seniors, Juniors, members of the Faculty, and School Board. All the while a violin, a 'cello, and a harp furnished pleasing mu- sic. It was a happy memory we carried away with us that night, one that will stand out among the recollections of our school days. We, the class of '17, highly appreciate the kindness and hospitality of the class of '18, and in leaving we tried to express our Wlshfhilt V011 might have as much suc- cess 1n your individual enterpriseslin life as you.. as a class, have had in Independ- ence High School.

The first practice Was called, the students seemed to feel the necessity of taking hold, and there was good response to the call. Thir- ty or forty very energetic boys came out to do their bit for I. H. S. The first few days were spent in kicking and passing the ball and then we started scrimmage. After several practices, We had the ragged prospect of a team. The line was rather heavy, but the backfield was light. We saw that we should have to play the passing game with speed. In this We were being developed with pleasing results. The team was being built up around the five veterans from last year. Our captain- elect failed to 1'eturn to school, and We had to call another election. It was not long before we had a shifty team ready to go on the gridion for hon- ors. We matched ourability first with Lee's Summit at Lee's Summit. Our boys put up a good scrappy game, but were de- feated. For the next Week We were drilled thoroughly on our Weak spots. On the next Friday We played Argentine, a team from Kansas, and a bunch of big husky fellows, that greatly outweighed our boys. Our chances looked small, but our boys started off on the jump, and completely took them off their feet. VVe defeated them 21 to O.

Liberty was the team 'of all teams we wished to defeat. We played them on their gridiron and they defeated us 14 to 0. The jinx seemed to be on our boys, for they carried the ball farther and made more downs than Liberty. Our opponents made both touch downs by fumbles. The boys came back home feeling discouraged but with a set determination to defeat Lee's Summit on the following Friday. We worked hard and were ready for them when they came. The game was one of the hardest games of the season, and was the only game played to a scoreless tie. We had the ball in a yard of the goal, but failed to carry it over. This game showed improvement in our boys. . The next game was played with the Central Athletic- Club of Kansas City, players from Central High. They were easily defeated, 31 to 13. The boys were now confident and ready for Weston's team, a team we play every season. They came early and we gave them a pep as- sembly, and their players gave a few brief talks. In the afternoon we gave them a trimming by a big margin, 21 to O. After these victories, the boys wanted to play a team that had a reputation, so we challenged Country Day. This was a real test for the team. Country Day had one of the best teams in Kansas City We were to.play them on their own field. Prof. Sexton coached us thoroughly for the fray. We started in the game with a great deal of fight and confidence. In the first few minutes of play, their big full- back made a touchdown. In the second quarter, they made another but failed to kick goal. This left the first half 13 to 0 in their favor, and a sad looking bunch of I. H. S. rooters. Prof. Sexton gave the boys pointers between halves, and also promised us a big feed if we won. Our team went back in the third quarter and completely outplayed Country Day. We PAUL LONG, Quarter and Half-Back. Paul is a versatilelittle player, holding his own alternately as quarter-back and right- halfg in a word, the epitome of aggressive- ness and consistency. HOMER LEWIS, Full-Back. Pheener, the captain of the team. This is his third year on the team. He can always be depended upon for his long passes. JOHN BAIRD, Guard.

The last quarter started in the same way, with our boys outplaying them. We made a touchdown the last quarter and kicked goal. That fixed the score at 14 to 13 in our favor. We held them to a standstill the rest of the game. The team proved itself equal to the test. To top off this brilliant victory, Liberty played us next, and we defeated her 18 to 0. Lee's Summit heard of our success, and sent us a challenge to play off the scoreless tie. We accepted, and defeated her 12 to 0, in the hardest fought game of the season. This game closed the 1917 season, a very 'successful one for our school. We played nine games, losing two, tieing one, and winning six-piling up 117 points to our opponents' 66. The credit for this success should be given to Mr. Sexton, our coach. He de- veloped the raw material into a winning team. The work will be much lighter for him next year, for most of the team will be back. ' b - ' FOOTBALL SCHEDULE 1917. . I - I OPPO- I. H. S. nents 0 26 I. H. S. vs. Lee's Summit .. I. H.

In our High School for the last one or two years there has been a lack of inter- est in one of the best sports, and this is track. Several years ago in the High School, we held annual track meets with the competition between the classes. These inter-class meets aroused much feeling and rivalry between the classes. A cup was put up by the merchants or by the school to be competed for, and also merchants usually put up prizes for individual events, to make the competition stronger. The day of the meet the greatest exhibtion of enthusiasm of the whole year was shown. The whole school went out to enjoy them- selves. Why should we 'not have track meets irfiourschoolinow? we have' a great deal of fine material that could be easily de- velopedj The prospects for a team this year are very favorable, and we hope it will be a success. During a recent track meet held at the William Jewell College for the high schools of this section, our team entered into several events and proved that they could hold their own in this particular line of athletics as well as in football, basketball or baseball. Raymond Shoemaker from here, politely carriedaway the medal for the 100-yard dash and had it not been for some mis- understanding inthe arrangement of the boys weluwould have undoutedly won the relay.

I THE GLEAM OUR TROPHIESR' During the past three years this school has been Victorious in several tournaments in Athletics, and we have several lovingcups to our credit. Three years ago we wonbthe cup at Warrensburg in the basketball tournament for high schools, and last yeariin the tournament made up of teams from Rockhurst College, Country Day, and De La Salle, we carried away the cup offered by Lowe- Campbells. We have several other trophies won in other lines of Athletics and we can easily win many more in the future, for in our new school we have greater advantages and better facilities for physical development. l WALLACE SMITH, Tackle. Long Lines made a good record for him self this year on the gridiron. He always made a big hole when called on. PAUL' CLARK, End. A Pill proved himself to be a very valuable wing man. He could always be counted on to get his man and break up interference He will be back next year. LAWRENCE BARTHOLOMEW, End. Lolly is one of the best ends I. H. S has ever had.

This is the first time we have had tennis in our line of athletics. It brought out much class spirit and rivalry and established a new sport in school that by all means should stay. Tennis is a clean, congenial sport and may be indulged innby boys and girls also. The girls took a very active part in it, and this is good, because the girls of our school have not taken any active part in other forms of athletics. This sport is one that shows the individ- uality of the players. We should by all means keep it as one of our regular school activities.

T lv I 'IM h IlllnlllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII The basket ball prospects for '17-'18 season were very bright at the opening of the season. We had a great deal of material and most of the veterans from last year. We were informed that by the time we could get our material together the gym would be ready. This was glo- rious news, and all the basket ball fans were delighted. But then came the great disappointment. The report came out that the school would not be accepted, and that we would not be able to get into the gym. The schedule was all canceled, with the exception of Wentworth and St. Joseph. We had played several games away from home, and we decided to play the return games at Northeast High School in Kan- sas City. We played our first game with St. Joseph and also a game with Country Day at Northeast. We saw we could not continue to play at Northeast, so we tried to convince the school board we could use the gym without the rest of the build- ing. After Mr. Elliot assumed the re- sponsibility for the safe keeping of it, the board consented, to the joy of the basket ball fans. We renewed our schedule to the best of our ability. It was late in the season, but we determined to make the best of it. Our first game was with Lee's Summit, whom we defeated 40 to 17. A TRIBUTE T0 MR. ELLIOT. While basket ball was struggling be- tween life and death this season, one of the faculty came to the rescue. This member of the faculty deserves much more credit from the school than he is awarded. It is true he does not stand out iniprominence, but he has shown that his spirit is with the students, and I am sure that all the school appreciates what he did for us. We owe to him entirely that we were able to get into the new gymnasium this year. He took the whole responsibility and put his word up that the school would use the gymnasium and not disturb any other part of the building. Also after we were getting the use of the gymnasium in the afternoon, it was he who put the lights in that we might use it at night so the town people could attend our games. This faculty member is D. C. Elliot. The basket ball boys especially want to express their appreciation of his services. BASKET BALL SCHEDULE 1917-1918. Oppo- I. H.

H. S. VS. WENTWORTH. As is the usual custom, I. H. S. had two games scheduled with Wentworth Mili- tary Academy of Lexington. Our first game was played at Lexington because our gym was not in readiness to play at home. We went to Lexington with the determination to win, notwithstanding the odds against us, because we had not had a chance to practice. We arrived in Lexing- ton in good spirits and full of pep. The court at the academy was very large, and the new players on the team had a -hard time finding themselves. The soldier boys were much larger than our boys, but it was proved that size, had no chance with speed. Red Brown of K. U. refereed the game. The game started out rather slowg our boys had some trouble getting straight- ened out on such a large court. They soon found themselves, and the soldiers could not find the ball. The first quarter ended 7 to 9, in favor of Independence. Our men were holding out well, considering the amount of practice. The second quarter went fast and ended 12 to 14 in favor of Independence- By this time our men were pretty well worn. The last half was slow- er than the first, but our boys held their own well. The game ended 22 to 28, in our favor. This was the first time Inde- pendence had beaten Wentworth on their own court in several years. I. H. S. VS. RAYMORE. One of the biggest games of the season was played with a team new on the schedule of Independence. This team was Raymore, the champion of Cass and Clay counties. They were clearly entitled to the championship and were the cleanest group of players that ever opposed us. The game started with sharp passing and fast team work on both sides. The -play was open style and very fast. Money- maker, one of the opponent's stars, played a great game, and was the favorite of the PAUL LONG: Paul's alacrity and accuracy in goal shooting won for him the position of forward on the team and his congeniality off the court won for him a host of friends. WILLIAM SERMON-: Billie has completed his iirst year on the team. He has developed into a fast guard. He is a fast floor man and breaks up many plays. ALMA SMITH: Smithy has completed his second year on the team. He is a good forward, good goal shooter and a creditable free thrower. -Q ,fl ' i . . w I 4 ,W 'K 3.3 gli? 54 li la fi 'V-M 'T if iff Eli E Ei' Qi' , 'fiqa 1 I 1 ., l Q , 21+ ef!

At the end of the first quarter the score was 9 to 7 in Raymore's favor. The second quarter started with Independence in a rally, led by Adams. Raymore tightened up, but the half ended 23 to 20 in favor of Inde- pedence. The second half started with the same line up on both sides and very fast. It was nip and tuck the third quar- ter. First one side ahead and then the other. The crowd was wild with enthu- siasm. The fourth quarter started with determination to win on both sidesq In- dependence was the first to score. The referee could hardly be heard for the cheering. The game had to be stopped several times because the officials could not make the players hear the whistle for the noise. The final whistle blew with In- dependence 41 to Raymore 40. Raymore seemd to be very well pleased 3 they took the defeat like real sportsmen, and congratulated the home boys as the new champions. THE SWIMMING POOL. Among the many good things that the pupils, who are fortunate to attend the New William, Chrismani High, have to look forward to with much pleasure is the beautiful swimming pool. This mag- nificent structure was made possible through the generosity of Miss Stella Swope. We all appreciate this gift to the fullest, for if ever a town needed 'a swimming pool, it is the town of Inde- pendence. The boys realize and appre- ciate the true worth of this place of amusement, for nothing is more delight- ful to a sturdy, wide-awake American boy than a good swim in a body of clear, cool water. We all know that a boy will walk five miles just for a good swim, all of us have done it at one time or other 5 now all we have to do is to go to the pool' and take a plunge. We There and now sincerely wish to thank Miss Swope for her most approp- riate gift. HARRY ADAMS: Harry has completed his second- year of bas- ket ball for I. H. S. He is a very aggressive player, always on the jump. Our pride for free throwing. OSCAR BESSMER: Oskie has completed his second year on the team. A great defensive player, always in the right place at the right time. A great favorite of the small players. LAWRENCE BARTHOLOMEW: Lolly is a neat little forward. This is his first year on the team. He is a very fast floor man, and should be valuable to the team next season. r v is W1 M if if ,i I '1 , 1 is , Wi 'QI' 112 'wif V3 KJ WSH Q' 3, '-T1 '11-H W4 WW 235243 Vg! V 3 QSW U 2 5.

When Coach Sexton called for candi- dates to try out for the baseball team about twenty reported for practice. From these and a few veterans, Mr. Sexton has built up a team that will rank with any high school team in this section of the state. - The pitching department is weak since we have only one good reliable hurler in Varderman. With a little more season- ing, this tall fellow will give many of the opposing batters unpleasant surprises. He has a good assortment of curves and plenty of speed. Captain Bessmer is doing the backstop- ping duties of the' team, and has made a creditable showing since this is his first effort in this difficult position. The infield is composed of Cudworth, Sermon, Snyder, Allen and Powell. Three of these fellows are veterans and so therefore, wehave a well balanced infield that works like a machine. The outer gardeners are Curtis, Stith, Birnbaumer, Royster and Yeager. They have shown up very well for recruits. They are very fair fielders and the ma- jority have strong throwing ability. The team is about even in the offense and defense and we have succeeded in win- ning themajority of the games. This is considered good for a team made , up mostly of green material, and the team has a very good outlook. 7 X di ll SVA -: -Q WALLACE SMITH: f'Longlines has completed his first year on the I. H. S. five. His height has made him very valuable at center. The team next year will be built about him. PAUL CLARK: - Pill is a great little guard, always on the go. Always look for him in the fray. He will be a valuable player on the team next year. HOMER LEWIS: Pheener has been on the team for three seasons. He made the team in his Fresh- man year. The best man on the team for floor work. He has a world of endurance. n '.r v. 1 Al v 1 I i V A :U 5 5 I Wg! O v Txl 9: Q 3 . , Q: . ki Nr ,H .hu I-1 1' .w HW sid E4 Fw pig iq! s LLP l ws, 1 w 4 WF IW! 4- p E3 sz i. u, ,J ,P V M Q, ,I I!

The Senior Class of 1918 completed their social triumphs by giving on the nights of May 3d and 4th, their Senior Play. They chose to present Green Stockings, a clever comedy of English life at the beginning of the war. The play was ideally suited to high school performers. The role of nice old Celia, good old Celia, Celia who does this 5 Celiawho does that, was exceptionally well taken by Gladys Ramsey. The audience was de- lighted with the extraordinary pet name of Wobbles which she gave her imagin- ary lover. Colonel Smith, alias Colonel Vavasour proved to Celia's satisfaction that he was Wobbles. Allan Bullock satisfied the audience in the interpretation of this role. - The American aunt, Aunt Ida, was taken by Luvenia Charlton. She showed exceptional talent in playing the exceed- ingly difficult part. The audience was convulsed with laughter during the scene in which the, brandy Aunt Ida took af- fected her wonted composure. Glenna Kennedy played the part of Phyllis Faraday, and with Paul Long playing the part of Philip Tarver, a dash- ing young Englishman, who aspired to Parliament, put much spice and humor into the play. The father, Mr. Faraday, was taken by Doc Gore. The supercilious Evelyn, Lady Trenchard, was played by Marguerite Barnett, Mrs. Rockingham, who was al- ways writing letters to her husband, was taken by Ardis Ragland. Cuyler McGin- ley and Richard Evans took the parts of the chronic lovers, Jim Raleigh and Henry Steele. Spencer Turner was the retired Admiral Griceg Martin. the serv- ant, was played by Francis Birnbaumer. The play was a 'dramatic success as well as a financial success. Miss McCoy's success as a director has at last proved that the high school need not call on the outside for help. Another pleasant surprise for the audience was the new scenery. The class inspired by the suggestions from Miss McCoy papered the old scenery a beauti- ful gray, and also built a dark mantel for the stage. Before the curtain arose, and too, during intermission, the audience was favored by a number of musical selections by the Misses Ila Beets, Lor- ene Womacks, and Ella Hughes Gorgen. -F.

'19. l..l.i- THE FACULTY ON THE STYX. S'matter Tillie ? said E. B. Street as he entered the room and found Matilda D. Brown sitting dejectedly in one corner wiping her eyes on a red petticoat. You look as if Shakespeare had died again. S'matter enough, Eaby, said Matilda D., sniffing like a 16-year-old school girl Just cut out by a Freshman. Matter enough! Here you and I have struggled and toiled to elevate teaching to the level of an art, and here these t!t?- young upstarts just from college turn it into a w1en1e roast or a Jewish picnic. . It is kinda tough. But after all, Til- lie, what do we care? We had our day. You taught English to a fare-U-well, and I pushed the school into the North Cen- tral Association, and there is enough glory in that to last till the crack of doom. At any rate no one could have done more. Oh, perhaps not, replied Tillie. But you see I took some pride in my profes- sion, Eaby. In my day a teacher was a teacher, not an entree into a beauty con- test, who sat back in a swivel with a large looking glass up in front of her, while the pupils discussed 'King John' like the latest musical comedy given at the Maple. Eaby laughed heartily. Do you think, continued Tillie, that I would have been offered positions in Kansas City, Missouri University, and Su- gar Creek, if I had taught the use of cold cream, like these modern things? i Just as soon as we could get the kids in the high school to go to church on Sun- day, said Eaby. Not even so quick as that, said M. Brown. NO, Sir! 'People don't want a beauty doctor to teach their children. They never have and never will want that kind of thing. Did you sit back in your ofhce with your feet propped upon your 76 kids went helter skelter Did Margaret Phelps sit peaceably in a rocking chair reading, try- ing to teach American history? l Not on your tintype. She went in with both front feet and beat it into them. Did Janie Chiles sit at her desk writing love letters while some bonehead pupil taught the lesson? Not yet. Did Carrie Wallace take a copy of Dante's 'Inferno' out on the shady side of the library and let the Senior and Junior boys shoot craps and match pennies? Ask her to her face and see if she don't hand you another bou- quet. Did Mattie McCoy- Never mind, said Street, you don't need to go any further. As Lincoln said to Douglas, when he had walloped him for the presidency, 'I got you Stevel' You're dead right, all right, there is one thing I will say, the youngsters in school today are just as good as any of them that ever went to school to us. Just then Osla Sehrt, Carrie Henry, Maud Compton returned followed shortly by Mrs. Barnett and Marie Sealy. Good night, said Carrie L., are you here? I supposed you were still teaching in the high school. I would still 'be teaching, too, ex- plained Tillie, but they stuck a bunch of chicken-hearted, pussy-footed teachers in there, and I just couldn't stand it. But they used to have primping teach- ers. Don't you remember'Mattie McCoy? She sure thought she was pretty. I heard she was very particuular who took her picture, because she was afraid that Moore wouldn't paint it up pretty enough. Why, I've even heard that she kept all the makellp of the class of '18, so she iould use it to paint, up with during school ours. I know, but the h ' ' , tist, said M.

The poor kids just THE G LEAM read the same thing in a diferent book every dayg I know it got tiresome. Well, said Mrs. Barnett, indignantly, if I had been allowed to teach American history, I would have established a sys- tem that would now be followed all over the world. And I assure you that the youngsters would sure know who Abe Lincoln was, take it from me. Well, as for teaching I always taught what I taught, and never butted into any- body else's business. If I could just be there one more year things would sure be changed. You can tell the world that, said Eaby. Me, too, said Tillie. GERMANY'S MISTAKE. Oh Germany, if you but knew What was the best and the right thing for YOU, You would never have sunk our ships at sea, I Nor insulted the flag of the Brave and the Free. Our motto, you know, In God is our Trust. When our cause it is right, win surely we must, - We never have yet been conquered in war, And we hope by God's grace, to be free evermore. E. M.

Dear Aunt Kate: So far I have been unable to bring about a reasonable understanding with my American history teacher. For some rea- son she has failed to see my merit. What would you advise me to do? . Desperate Senior. The best thing for you to do is to read many wearisome, tiresome and otherwise uninteresting pages of Fiske and Wilson. I am sure you will find this to be a per- manent cure. Aunt Kate. Dear Aunt Kate: I find after some experimenting that I am slowly losing my voice, it is so dis- heartening. Can't you do something? Fern -Wray. My dear child, all you need to do is to cut out the gab and give your tongue a much needed rest. If you do not carry out these instructions to the letter you will find your vocal chords will become ropes. Aunt Kate. Dear Aunt Kate: I find that my complexion is becoming ruined. I have never had smallpox and I don't know what else could cause it. S. O- S- p . Frank Wyatt, The best thing for you to do is to stay at home one night each week. After ris- ing each morning cleanse the face in a solution made by mixing two parts water with one part lard. This is especially comfortable and will Hx your face, because lard will take the moons out of cornelians. Aunt Kate. Dear Aunt Kate: Is there any way to repair a broken celluloid buckle? I have a large one, or did have, on my coat, but Richard Evans sat on it. Gladys Ramsey. I think you will be unable to repair it, but take it to a blacksmith, he may be able to weld it. From now on be more careful where the boys sit, when they get so close it is considered unhealthful. l . Aunt Kate. Dear Aunt Kate: For three weeks my mother-in-law has been roosting in my shack. She stuffs my wife full of hot air, and of course she believes it. If I say anything it just near- ly breaks my wife's heart, and I can't stand to hurt her feelings. I have been unable to decide what to do. Lawrence Gregg. Goodness knows you sure are up against tough luck. It is sometimes wise to shoot them, but perhaps cyanide would. be just as effective.

They entered the Castle as Lit- tle-Green-Things. After a year of train- ing they became Pages, then Squires, and at last Knights. Every year, when the Little-Green- Things came to the Castle they came in fear because of the tales they had heard of how the Pages .teased and tormented the Little-Green-Things. The Pages did this just because they were mischief lov- ing, and because Pages had always done so. But at last a New Lord came to the Castle. He forbade the Pages to torment the Little-Green-Things, and told them to treat the Little-Green-Things kindly. Not long after the arrival of the New Lord a number of Little-Green-Things came to the Castle. They were just as afraid as the othersfhad been because they had not heard what the New Lord had done. But when they arrived the Pages did not tease them and they began to lose their fear. When they had been there for some time, the Squires, who had always been friendly with the Little-Green-Things, gave a Grand Ball at the Castle and invited all the Little-Green-Things. They were entertained royally and they decided that they had as nice a time there as anyone else. They finally decided they were wanted after everyone treated them so nicely. They wished to show their appreciation and began to strive hard to be a success. Then the Little-Green-Things began to lose their greenness and shine like Little- Bright-Things. So some day, when dreams come true and these same Little-Green-Things are Knights, they will look back with pleasure at the time when they were Little-Green- Thingg, D. ,21. ,i. TASTY! Did you ever notice how really beauti- ful gum chewing makes the high school girl appear? Take her de facto, and .gaz- ing steadily, one cannot find a more Ideal picture. With a sharp click, clack, haf teeth, so white and pearly, clash togefhel' as, with cowish glee, she masticates her cud. Then, too, one can note her health- tinted, Well rounded cheeks as they grow a little more rotund through the assist- ance of a big hunk of gum. And really, who can imagine a fairer spectacle than that of her dainty upturned nose as it gently rises and falls in wave- like undulations under the abysmal depth revealed at each pressure against the mass? Oh, how deliciously tempting that rosebud mouth is as the beauty fills it with a soft, pliable chunk, and champing like the festive goat reveling in the lux- uries of the succulent tomato can, she greets you in tones husky with gum.

After walking some distance the young lady seemed to tire of the journey, so she sat down upon a rock wall to rest. From the observer's statement, it seems that both young men, one a Freshman, the other a Senior, noticed that her shoes were dusty. Then the fightbegan as to which boy should clean them. Hair was pulled, black eyes were given, noses were blooded, but of no avail. By arbitration it was decid- ed that each boy should clean a shoe. One boy took his handkerchief, the other his cap, and everybody lived happy ever after. Or this- One night a member of the Gleam staff, who was walking east on Maple Avenue, met Ralph Dryden. He attempt- ed to engage the young man in conversa- tion, but it was useless. And the rate that boy did went-the Seven League Bootsi' didn't have a thing on him. We all have wondered where Ralph was go- ing. Or this- The night of the next to the last bas- ket ball game someone observed Doc Gore going into the house second west from Miss Brown's. The someone yelled out, Where you going, Doc? And the an- swer came back, Uptown! Sure was funny, the town must have moved west about three blocks. Or this- One day in the Library a Senior was sitting next to a Freshman. The Senior was reading Shakespeare, and also had a reference of poems- lying close by. The Freshman was reading Dave Porter of Star Ranch. The Freshman picked up the reference and remarked: Gee whizz! Do you have to read poetry in the Senior year ? Dignified Senior: Certainly, poetry is the most inspiring, the most idealistic form of literature. ' Goodnight! Do you have to take it 'Z7' No, but as an older one, and one of ex- perience, do not neglect your education by dropping the fundamental. Freshman, after short pause: Say, how do you keep your hands so clean ? Well, I wash them once in a while. Sullen Freshie: Well, I wash mine every morning, or nearly every morning, but I can't keep 'm clean. Try it again kid, it won't hurt 'em very bad. a Or this- Say! have you all heard about Miss Mat- tie's beau? Oh, they say he's just grand. Best lookin' hunky anybody could ever wish for. Yeah, he can swing the pick or anything. ' A FRESHMEN CLASS MEETING. At twelve forty on that October day, We Freshmen had a meeting in room nine. We were in some of the Junior High School's way, So we Freshmen did not have much time. We had to get a motto for our class, And get it now so we would not be last. Some fellow with a smart head mentioned feed- ing, Some Junior Highs were about to burst, And so we hurried through our meeting And selected Safety First. -R. W. '21. THE GLEAM 85 THE NECESSARY EVIL: TEACHERS. Teachers are the hawks who hover over the chicken yard of guileless student life, ready to swoop down-in assembly and separate two hearts that beat as one, they stifle the social instinct when it shows it- self too evidently in the class room or too loudly in the hall, as task masters they beat old Pharoah who compelled the suf- fering Israelites to make bricks without straw. In looking over his past as well as his present, the student sees that teach- ers not only vary in mental gifts, but also in appearance and disposition. We have the wrangling, hatchet-faced teacher who believes in standing up for her rights, the meek and lowly one who Whimpers only to her pupils, the sweet, effusive kind who is too good natured to be effective, the indifferent one who prefers scenery to pu- pils and looks anywhere but at them, the one who has traveled much and is full of reminiscences, the gossipy teacher who gives an account of the town gossip dur- ing class hour, the teacher who never di- gresses from the text and would consider even a smile that was not in the book a sacrilege, the teacher who performs all the odd jobs about school, Mrs. Goat, by name, and the teacher who watches others work, teachers who try to bluff through class and blame their mistakes on the pupils. Then, too, We have the dressy teacher, who wears a new costume daily, and the one who wears one annually, the one who wears high champagne shoes Hand plaid silk, and the one who wears flat boats and drab serge, the good, fat, com- fortable looking kind who should be the mother of seven, the lean, sarcastic one destined in the cradle for single blessed- ness, teachers who walk to school in zero weather void of headgear or cloak, and teachers enveloped in furs and coats like Eskimos in, April, teachers who wear their hair skinned back so that they can hardly shut their eyes, and teachers who wear their hair high school girl style, Wlth artificial curls, color, and the l1ke,' and teachers-but it is useless to continue. They are a conglomerate class, and inter- esting. R. H. M. 20. HOW MUSICAL. Latest Heirs-Taken from Any Church Hymnal. Awake -Seniors. Revive Us Again -School Pep. Rock of Ages --Miss Phelps.

And then to Sophdom we arrived, Happy that we had survived, And threats we had for humble Freshies, And paddles, too, for Freshies's breeches. And now we are Juniors, brave and bold, And on our chests our arms we fold, And stand above the under classes As noble lads and pretty lassies. In time to come we'll Seniors be, And then our hearts will iill with glee, For we'll be stuffed with knowledge rare, And all the world will stop and stare. -G. E. S. '19, MODERN MOTHER GOOSE.

D That part of our interests which is known in law and recognized in the sheepskin volumes as LEAM W our property, being inconsiderable and of no ac- count, we make no distribution in our will. Our right to have .gone through the Independence High School being but a life estate is not at our disposal, but, this excepted, all else in the world we now proceed to bequeath. Item: We give to the school, as a whole, the faculty which we have thus long endured, and we charge said school to use them justly and as the needs of the school require. Item: We give to the Juniors, inclusively, the portion of the building on the second floor, south- east corner, otherwise known as room 5, so long as you make good but not permanent use of said room. Item: We leave to the Freshmen the long, long days to be merry in a thousand ways, and the night, and the train of the Milky Way to wonder at, but subject, nevertheless, to the rights hereinafter given to lovers. Item: We devise to the Sonhs, jointly, all coveted halls wherein to skate and slide, all the comfortable drinking fountains, wherein to sit, and the balcony wherein to hide when tardy or from the cruel rod of the professor. We hereby appoint Carrie L. Henry as execu- tor of this will, she to act without bond. In witness whereof we, the Senior Class, have to this, our last will and testament, consisting of one sheet of paper, subscribed our name this 16th day of April, 1918. THE SENIOR CLASS.

Arthur Metzger, the new constable of Blue township, has adopted very up-to-date business methods in the management of his office. He has a nice suite of rooms in the second story of the Clinton building, looking out on the public square. A Metzgen uses the card index sys- ,tem, and has maps of the county and of the township, to, say nothing of desk phones, electric lights, and all that sort of thing. He keeps an auto- mobile constantly in easy reach, so that the instant he receives a call he can start out to the scene of trouble with the least possible delay: and swift indeed must the law breaker he who gets away. Metzger is an alinnnus of the Independence high school: and a portrait of the late Professor George 5. Bryant hangs oi-rr his desk, while elsewhere on the walls of tie office hangs his diploma as a graduate of a law school. Another things about Metzger was noted a few days ago by a-lawyer who is a keen observer. While the con- stable answered a phone a call for Metzger he responded this is he instead of this is him as often has been the response when eonstables were called over the phone. A sure indication of a good and careful edu- cation as a preliminary for public se!- vice. It is true it doesn't make much difference to a law breaker whether the constable says this is him or 'this is he. but the latter commands much more respect among the legal fraternity.
