But bear with us a moment, while we endeavor to present some new ideas on the subject. It is universall reco nized that it is fx Y g C privilege-to attend school. It is usuallyx true, also, that the person who is most ap- preciative of this privilege is the one who is deprived of it. If this be true, then it must betrue also that students as a whole do not appreciate the privileges which are offered to them by attendance at school. Others, seeing and appreciating, fail to take advantage of them. ' Do you boys, who represented the old school on gridiron, court, and track field, realize that it was a privilege to be such a representative? Some of you who have graduated will never again be in the posi- tion to act in the same capacity. Did you exert your utmost power of mind and body in exercising your privilege? If not, your chance can never be retrieved, your oppor- tunity is gone for all time. If you did, then everlasting glory will be your portion. You who were in that assembly progfam a week, a month, or a year ago-will you not remember the hours you spent in pre- paring for your appearance, with pleasure untold in the years to come? You who were inthe Senior Play! Did you not have some really wholesome fun out of it all? Work! Of course it was work, but answer honestly to yourself, was it not a privilege to be in that production, and were you not repaid, with interest, for all work expended on it? You who have prepared scenes for your English classes-does not the same apply to you? Do you not consider it a privilege to prepare such scenes? Was it not fun to prepare your costume and ar- range the stage setting? To all Seniors who have gone through school, seen their privileges, and utilized them not, we can offer little or no consola- tion, but to all future Seniors we suggest the following: First. Look for your privileges-you may find one where you least expect it. Second. When found, utilize it, for the chances are it will not present itself again. If these two things are done, we promise that you will be repaid, with interest a hundred fold, for all work expend-ed. E. A. F. '20. 40 THE GLEAM -1920 THE DRAMA The Senior English student can truly appreciate Shakespeare's famous assertion, the play's the thing. The drama fur- nishes a brilliant climax in the high school English course reflecting an exhibition of progressive culture. The substantial tech- nique, acquired by the study of composi- tion, newspaper work, the short story, the novel, American poetry, essays, and the lyric, culminates in this wonderful insight to a deeper intellectual development-the drama. The method of this dramatic study is really a novel experience in self revelation. Among the requirements are a resume of the student's appreciation of the drama, a dramatic scrap book, the actual presenta- tion of scenes from an historical play, a tragedy, and a comedy. The result of these productions has proved unusually successful, and a source of pride and delight, not only to the Eng- lish department, but to the whole school and also the public. Both individual and collaborate inte-rpretation are involved in the way in which the production is han- dled-its insight to life and character, its style, its balance, and its artistic value. Some of the programs are remarkable examples of original conception. - PE. H. Sothern says that an elaborate, artificial atmosphere detracts from a play, and praises high school and college ama- teurs for simplicity, which is the true key to success. Under Miss Brown's influence, a most enthusiastic interest has prevailed, and scenes have been presented from Greek, French, German, Irish, and Shakespearean plays. Section One of the morning class, includ- ing Kenneth Morford, Frances Small, Vera Adams, Zella Smith, Elizabeth Palmer, Ethel Burnham, Ruth Lieberman, and Margaret Bullard, presented scenes from Coriolanus, Alcestis, and The Rivals. Section Two, composed of Leah Salzberg, Blevins Davis, Hilda Ohmann, Katherine Bridges, Verna Wulfe-kammer, and Ger- trude Shields, presented- scenes from Ju- lius Caesar, f'Merchant of Venice, and The Tragedy of Nan. Section Three, composed of Elizabeth Rider, Saramae Brown, Lester Shafer, Opal Goode, Lavinia Records, and Char- lotte Milton, presented scenes from f'L'Aiglon, Romeo and Juliet, and Lady 'Windermere's Fan. , Section One of the afternoon class, com- posed of Louise Newton, Cecil Soldan Els, Edward Royster, Evan Fry, Frank Baldus, Julia Marie ,Cole and Josephine Gentry, presented scenes from Julius Caesar, Mary Stuart, and The Tamingof the Shrew. t Section Two, composed of John Robert Allen, Robert Mize, Hilda Piepmier, Roy Roberts, Alma Teeter, Marguerite Shim- fessel, Stella Sabrowsky and Carl Schowen- ,gerdt, presented scenes from Coriolanus, Polyeucte, and Midsummer Night's Dream. ' Section Three, composed of Gertrude Gaines, Cora Be-lle Powell, Wayne Smith, Elmer Carl, Elmer Ahmann, Robert Davis, John Baird and Gertrude Duncan, pre- sented scenes from L'Aiglon, Iphi- genia, and Richelieu, As these scenes have been given from Greek plays, -Shakespeare plays, and mod- ern plays, the fundamental principles of the drama have been found to be the same throughout the ages, and can be discovered as well in the plays of Euripides, as in the plays of Shakespeare, Corneille, and Schiller. As the dramatic work of the year draws to a close, the masterpieces of the drama loom large, and the interesting story of the slow evolution of the drama, from its rude beginning far back in the forgotten past to the pictorial complexity of the present day proves one art there is and only one which can avail itself at will of almost every other device of all the other arts. This one art is the art of the drama, the art which completely displays the life of man. E. P., '20.

This was done on the suggestion of our principal, Mr. Elliott. He believed that if different worth while societies were formed, it would be profitable to give an hour of school time each Monday for their respective meet- ings. We agree with Professor Elliott that this plan has been a great success. Four so- cieties have been formed, three consisting of girl members and one of boy members. In the weekly meetings of the organiza- tions, programs of real value are given, showing earnest endeavor and intellectual development. We have seen proven the value of the literary society movement. It has created competition which adds pep to the school. It brings the students together in social activities, thus increasing their apprecia- tion of school life. In the society meetings the members also obtain an understanding of parliamentary law, and practice in executive ability. The programs given in assembly by the Various societies have highly entertained and have shown a great deal of school spirit. Finally, we firmly believe that the lit- erary societies, which are to live through the ensuing years are indeed an asset to our school. V. A. '20. A NOVELTY IN TEACHING. There are thousands of teachers in even the State of Missouri, and the ways of teaching vary almost as the number of teachers, but it remained for Miss Phelps to startle us by introducing an absolutely new and original method of teaching, which to our knowledge has never been used before. , The economics classes were surprised one day by the appearance of a phon0g1f2Dl1 in the well known room. l Miss PYISIDS completed the surprise by informlrlg US that we would not be allowed to listen to jazz, but that she had some records made by Senator Lodge and Mr. McAdoo, GX' pressin their opinions on current topics. These t o records were followed up at in- tervals f a week or two by others from Presiden Wilson, Speaker Champ Clark, Secretary Glass, Secretary Daniels, and other men of the hour. Needless to say they were all enjoyed and gave the pupils a most welcome diversion from the routine class work. Miss Phelps is to be highly commended on the idea, and also on the successful carrying out of that idea. E. A. F. '20. CRITICISM. It is easy enough to pick out the flaws In the work that others have done, To point out the errors that others have made, g When your own task you haven't begun. It is easy enough to fuss and find fault When others are doing their best, To sneer at the little that they have ' achieved, When you have done nothing but rest. It is easy enough to cavil and carp, To criticise, scoff, and deride, For few of us ever have done perfect work, No matter how hard we have tried. It is easy enough not to speak of the best, And to dwell all the time on the worst, And perhaps it is proper sometimes to find fault, Be sure that you've done something first. -Somerville Journal. r LIFE Well, welll the world must turn upon its axis, And all mankind turn with it, heads or tails, And live and die, make love and pay our A taxes, And as the veering wind shifts, shift our sails, The King commands us and the Doctor quacks us, The Priest instructs, and so our life exhalesz A little Breath, Love, Wine, Ambition, Fame, Fighting, Devotion, Dust-perhaps a Name. -Byron. 7 .x N X ,AI -1 r V ' lg any ae ' ZZ W f I mlm Ei ' M IZ IA 5 I I il .

CITY N V ENGLISH PRIZE ESSAY BY ELIZABETH PALMER The unknown is a city of the soul, peo- pled by weird fancies, wild legends, and shadowy traditions. Its blue waves mur- mur at the foot of giant oaks, and through the long, still summer nights its sleepy branches make answer in dreamy whisper- ings. Its appeal is paramount-as entranc- ing and alluring as the sea. We are all treading the vanishing road of a song in the air, the vanishing road of the spring flowers and the winter snow, the vanishing road of winds and streams, and it leads through a garden, wherein is an urn, richly wrought in' sculpture. Oh, urn! Symbol of truth and beauty, wilt thou not act as a medium for us, and interpret art in three forms-music, poetry and the drama?- Music is as ancient as the history of man. It embodies all human experiences, than which there is no grander or loftier theme on earth. This ethereal, indefinable something must be felt, and is too sacred for the level of human speech. Its silver- tongued message touches the heart like the voice of a friend. There is a music of Nature-the song of birds, the whisper of leaves, the ripple of waters against a sandy shore, the wail of wind and sea, and there was an ancient impression that the heav- enly bodies gave out music as well as light -the music of the spheres. UMusic, said one, is an unfathomable kind of speech which leads us to the brink of the infinite, and lets us, for a moment, gaze in. Poetry, from the earliest ages, has been the sister art to music. They have a similar aim and influence upon mankind. We hear it echo and re-echo in the rude chant of the boatman as he sails over the waves, the songs of the shepherd on the hillside, the milkmaid in the dairy, the plowman at the plowg every trade, every act and scene of life has its own poetry set to music-the bride goes to the altar, and the old man to his 'last long rest, accompanied by appro- priate and long to be remembered music. Poetry has been expressed as a record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds. It immortalizes all that is wonderful and beautiful on earth. Since the divine Homer smote his lyre on the shores of a storied sea, the I I I i I a i I l ii I E I 1 . 44 , THE GLEAM -1920 world has known there are no rules for poetry-it is born, not made. The lyric is wrought as a crest or a mid- night sphere, b With magic delight and mystic emotion ,tis fraught, i That the soul of the hearer may vibrate to cadence so clear, A lyric is wrought. The charm of its music is sculptured of all or of aught- ' Love, glory, or sadne-ss, laughter or fear, That romance and fancy may hang in the ear of thought. As the lyric immortal unites our hearts to hear Call answer to call, and again the har- mony caught, So moves the hand of God, whence as a pearl or a tear, A lyric is wrought. - In its beginning, the drama was pro- foundly lyrical. It has been said the drama is the greatest reservoir of art, spacious enough for both God and Satan. The interesting story of its slow evolution far back in the forgotten past to its wonderful complexity of the present day shows: One art there is, and only one, which can avail itself at will of almost every device of all the other arts. This one art is the art of the drama-the art which completely dis- plays the life of man. And the young person who lives today is living in the greatest era the world has ever known. No epoch is so significant. Previous to the-se times, there was a point of time in which all the energies of the human race burst into full flower. That was the age of Pericles! The glory that was Greece! And the Greek spirit still lives. It is a curious reminiscence of today that twenty-two centuries ago, not only Athens, but every town in Greece or its colonies possessed its theater. Greek poetry and art were sometimes more pow- erful than red-handed war. The Sicilians gave liberty to Greek prisoners who sang the verses of Eluripides. Does not the beautiful pathos of the Alcestis touch the heart of today just as it did thousands of years ago, as also does the sad legend of Iphigenia ? Now take away from the drama Greece and put in England, take away Pericles and put in Elizabeth, take away the Parthenon and put in the Tower of London, take away the plebs and put in the mob, take away fatality and put in melancholy, take away the Gorgan and put in the witch, take away the eagle and put in the cloud, take away the sun and put in the wind-swept heath with a ghastly moonrise-and you have Shakespeare! After you have seen Shakespeare's incomparable- Coriolanus and Julius Caesar, Hamlet and Lear, Macbeth and Othello, and all the rest -that art may not leave' you standing on the edge of a gaping chasm, fill it up with the powerful L'Aiglon, Mary Stuartj' Polyeucte, and all the other heart-grip- ping masterpieces of the modern stage, and you will be ready to declare that all the world is a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages. And now we leave our garden. The spirit of the urn is mighty! The road stretches before us. We are units in a vast, moving army. The swift running seasons will find us on the road and shower upon us their blossoms and their snows. Some day we will reach the skyline, and standing there, turn and wave our hands, knowing at last where the road wends as it goes to meet the stars. And others will stand, as we today, watching us disappear, and wondering what we find as we turn the corner and vanish with the vanishing road. Each mortal has his Carcassonne. MATTHEW FONTAINE MAURY. A U. D.'C. Prize Essay. CBy Blevins Davis! Nearly one hundred and four years ago aiboy was born near Fredericksburg, Vir- EIHIH, and named Matthew Fontaine Maury. The destiny of this childimust have been planned by the gods, for him THE GLEAIVI -1920 45 Zllfoengll-ESE 1ZU1fIei?tiL23n1?i121E1h5g txhiijnngleihe has and currents and the restless water-waysf Maury came from the old Hugenot stock. His early education was acquired, as was that of all children upon Southern planta- tions, from his mother, and a private tutor afterwards. The education of this youth, whose parents were of moderate circum- stances, proved beyond the ordinary. This lad first attended the old Field school, and it was in that obscure place he gained a better knowledge of his favorite subject-Mathematics. His love for this study was fostered in a most extraordinary way. The story is told that hefhad a pair of red top boots which he prized very much. On finding that the soles needed repairing he took them to Mr. Neal, the town shoe- maker. When the boots were returned to the proud owner he found that' the soles were marked over in X's and Y's in algerbraic fashion. Matthew, being inter- ested in the Queer markings, asked the Hmender of soles to explain the strange hieroglyphics. These lessons later led him to the Harpeth Academy in Franklin. Maury was extremely fond of the sea, and of aquatic sports. This affection was supposed to have been induced by an elder brother who joined the navy when but thirteen years of age. Meanwhile Maury's attention had turned to the sea also, since he had received an appointment of mid- shipman from Sam Houston. When he made knownto his father his intentions of becoming a sailor, he did not meet with the success he had wished for. Instead of giving up his ideal-with the determina- tion of a nineteen year old boy-he set out upon life's billows to start his career of greatness. In 1825, during a voyage ar0L1I1d the world, in the frigate Vincennes, he Com' menced a Treatise on Navig3t10T1I . after experiencing countless cyclones, hurricanes and fierce north winds. Maury was a VGFY practical man and always strove to render navigation more secure and economical. This unusual sailor knew that there must be some unknown law for the Wlnds To him the sighing wind on the surging ocean would sing: Up from the sea I sprang, O Voyager, 1 Ere Aphrodite rose from out its foam I am banned, unresting wanderer, Doomed o'er the surface of the deep to roam. Without being aged, o'erwhelmed with days, The end of being is my only dream, I trod the earth ere man's ephemeral race And onward flee, long as yon sun shall beam. Ever, forever, Here, and wherever, Turneth the earth, must I course forever I This song, as though directed by Nep- tune, instilled the thought of higher and greater things in the voyagers' heart. In 1830, he passed his difficult examin- ations and was appointed master of the man-of-war, Falmouth He was then ordered to the Pacific Coast on a prolonged tour. On the famous voyage, he answered Aeolus, who stood in his gray and mossy cave: Gazing in reverie at the distant sails, That skimmed the surface of the glassy deep,- Unvexed by blasts of Eurus' boisterous whims. The restless winds in leash about their lord . Full murmuring, plucked his floating robe, Or stirred his tangled tresses with their breath, Impatient at the lack of wilder liberty I Maury's answer to Aeolus was his fa- mous Winds and Currents Chart. This one discovery added so greatly to the com- merce of the seas that the whole world looked toward him with gratitude and ad- miration. But, alas! it was England that was first to give this book its full merit, and not his native land-America! O-n Maury's arrival in the States from this long journey he had just completed, he wished to pay a visit to his old home. He obtained a furlough.

Had it not been for this mishap,iMaury might have ended his days in the navy and we should never have -known him as the great geographer and scientist! ' Unlike the average person who suffers from affliction, Maury made his injury a stepping stone to greater achievements. With the courage of heart-broken Shylock, the grit of Cassius, and the power of Cae- sar, he conquered all difficulties, in the same year of his misfortune he was made a lieutenant and was appointed to the hydrographical office in Washington. It was through this southern genius that the finest naval schools in the world were originated. His many articles on Naval Reformj, published at this time, led to the building of forts at Key West and Tortu- gas, and the founding of the Academy at Annapolis. Maury was remarkable not only as a scientist, but as an author, for he was tire- less in his efforts to make his work prac- tical. He prepared Log Books, which made it possible for captains of vessels to keep a daily record of their observations concerning the ever-changing winds and currents. The various investigations led to an international conference, held at Brussels in 1853. One of the results of this cele- brated conference was the establishment of the Meterological Department. by the British Board of Trade. He published his Letters on the Amazons and the Atlantic Slopes of South America, in 1855. In 1861, when the war between the North and South occurred, Maury left his post in the naval observatory and returned to his home to offer his services. At this critical time he received flattering offers from various foreign governments, but all were patriotically rejected. Maury was elected Commodore -in the Confederate Navy, and was later sent abroad by the Confederate Government in the interest of various experiments pertaining to sea warfare. . When the dreadful struggle had ended, he went to Mexico and become a member of the cabinet of the ill fated Maximillian. Many of our most modern appliances were developed by this southern hero, namely, the weather bureau, the water works, river gauging, and the Atlantic cable. At Maury's suggestion, Congress sent three vessels to perfect his discovery of a broad plateau, that lay under the seas, between Newfoundland and Ireland. On this trip, Maury decided it would be very practical to lay a cable. He was consulted by Cyrus W. Field as to the kind of- cable to be used, the way in which to lay it, and as to the most opportune time for the work to begin. When this wonderful invention had been perfected, and the first message had been sent to Europe, a dinner was given in New York in honor of Maury. At this dinner, Mr. Field said: I am a man of few words. Maury furnished the brains, England the money, and I did the work. Louis Napoleon, on seeing what a power- ful man Maury was, offered him the ex- alted position as head of the Imperial Con- servatory in Paris. This offer was declined to accept the Chair of Physics at the Vir- ginia Military Institute in Lexington. What a noble thing for him to do! It is evident that these words ruled his life: KK Land of the South! Imperial Land! How proud thy mountains rise! How sweet thy scenes on every hand! How fair thy Southern skies! But not for this-oh, not for these, I love thy fields to roam, Thou hast a dearer spell to me, Thou art my native home! In 1873, Maury died at his home in Vir- ginia, his Christian life having been a full realization of his praye-r which contained three petitions for the forgiveness of his sins. The news spread like wildfire and every ruling power in the world was noti- fied that a celebrated American citizen had entered the Elysian fields. All of the nations responded in a most admirable manner except his own native land, Amer- ica! Why? Because Ulysses S. Grant was I THE GLEAIVI -1920 47 now president of the Union, and he did 11013 think it necessary to honor a Southern celebrity! Even in this age of wisdom, learning and power., forty-seven years since the death of a genius, there is no memorial hall to his memory, not even a shaft of granite. Ten- nessee can boast the only memorial to this great man, a marble slab which was placed on the public school building in Franklin, December 18, 1910. But 'tis a common proof: A king once said of a prince struck down, 'Taller he seems in deathf And this speech holds true for now as then, 'Tis after death we measure men. And as the mists of the past are rolled away, Our heroes who lived but as a day Grow taller and greater in all their parts, Till they fill our minds as they filled our hearts. And for those that lament there's this relief, That Glory sits by the side of Griefg Yes, they grow taller as the years roll by, And the world learns how they can do and die! . A NEW LEGEND OF TIME. fPrize Short Story.J By Helen Hefflon. Once a long, long time ago-oh, a very long time ago indeed-Old Father Time, who was even then a very, very old man, had such hard work trying to decide which of his twelve children, the months, should rule after him thathe finally adopted thc plan of giving- each in turn unlimited power for a certain number of days, in or-- der to see who showed the greater fitness for the place. So he called his children about him and said: Children, I am getting old and 1 want a rest. I have ruled for many hun-- dreds of years, and I am going to g1Ve YOU each a chance to show how splendidly YOU could rule in my stead. The sun, all the winds, the clouds, the frost, the snow, the rain and the dew shall all do your bidding for a certain number of days, to be deter- mined by me. You must keep in mind the folks who live on earth and do everything for their good. I shall expect each of you to do .your best. January may take his turn first and may begin tomorrow if he is ready. January, being the eldest son of a large family, was a cold, austere fellow, and he was very proud that his father had chosen him to rule first. He made a bosom friend of North Wind, and he ordered him to howl around the chimneysg he called on -Snow Cloud to cover the whole world with a beautiful white blanket of snow. Old Mother Earth was very beautiful all dressed in white. He asked Ice and Frost to harden the lakes and rivers and to cover the windows with frost and ice. He didn't have much use for the Sun,. nor did he find much for the other winds to do. Strange to say, the folks on earth all seemed to enjoy January's rule, judging by the way in which they hustled about their business, and by the merry makings on every hill- side by day and night. If the truth be told, Old Father Time was very proud of January, but he called time at the end of thirty-one days and February took his turn. - To everybody's surprise, things went on just the same. The North Wind continued to howl and blow. The Snow still fell. Dull cold day followed dull cold day. Father Time was not pleased with February's work. Has the child no ideas of his own ? he exclaimed, but day followed day in the same monotonous way, until at the end of twenty-eight days Father Time, in a rage, exclaimed: I will not stand this one moment more. I had hoped for a change, a little individuality, but I was certainly disappointed. Call in March ! Now it happened that March overheard what his father had said, and with a smile of wicked glee, said, He shall certainly have a change, for if there was one thing March liked more than another, it was to change. March had not expected to be called onto rule so soon and he hardly knew how to begin his thirtv-one day rule. He called not only North Wind, but East Wind, and Rain Cloud, and so many other helpers at the same time that all they could 48 f THE GLEAM -1920 do was to get in each other's way and make a great deal of noise and confusion and bluster. In rapid succession he called on all the elements over which he had control -North Wind, Snow Cloud, Sun, West Wind, Rain Cloud, East Wind, Frost, South Wind, and so it went in a giddy whirl, until Father Time threw up his hands in despair. He saw that March himself was the only one who was enjoying his rule and he therefore called time at the end of thirty- one days. . Next in point of years came April, and if the truth must be told, her father had very little hope of her making a success of her rule, because of her unhappy disposi- tion. She often pouted, cried, laughed, stormed, raged, and repented all in the same day. Contrary to her father's ex- pectations she called on the Sun and the soft South Wind until she coaxed the grass to grow and the buds to swell and the earth began to look like a new place. True to her changeable, fickle ways, however, she soon called out East Wind, Frost and Rain Cloud, until she almost undid every- thing she had done. At the end of thirty- one days her father called time and May took her turn. Dear, sweet, loveable May called in only the Sun and the South Wind, and now and then the Rain Cloud to give the earth a nice bath. Before many days the flowers were blooming, the leaves were opened, and the people were busily putting the seed into the soil from which May had taken the frost. At the end of her rule of thirty- one days there could be found no more beautiful or happy spot than Old Mother Earth. June followed in her sister's footsteps and ruled for thirty days to the sound of bird music and wedding bells. July and August, as you know, were twins, and the strangest twins you ever saw. They did not look alike at all. July was a tall, thin, young man with dark hair and dark eyes, while August was short and fat, with red hair and blue eyes, and a very freckled face. Now the strange thing about them was that they always thought alike, and acted alike on every subject. July was chosen by his father to rule first. Now, sad to relate, July was a very lazy fellow, and liked nothing better'than to lie on his back in the shade and watch the world go by, so he set the sun to shining and the South Wind to blowing very, very gently, and proceeded to enjoy himself in his own way. He gave very little attention to ruling and was not at all sorry when his father called time at the end of thirty-one days. , August, true to his reputation, followed in his brother's footsteps, and the Sun shone brightly and the South Wind blew very, very softly all during his reign of thirty-one days. , September was a gaudy fellow, and the thirty days of his rule was, as he said, spent in repairing the ravages of July and August, by calling on the Rain Clouds for gentle showers and the winds for cooling breezes. Soon he had the hillsides as green -as in springtime, and dotted with flaming red and yellow flowers. Not content, how- eve-r, with that, he called on J ack-Frost to tint the leaves of the trees and bushes, until the whole earth looked as if she were going to a party. and the folks on earth seemed busy and happy. October made himself useful as well as ornamental, and used the Rain and the Sun and the Winds in exactly the right way to ripen the corn and the nuts on the trees, and it was plain to be seen that folks on earth loved October. Old Father Time was also very proud of him. ' November was a pleasure-loving person, but not indolent and easy going as July and August were. He was very active and liked pleasures that tool' hard work. He set about his thirty days of rule as though it were one great day of fr. lic. He called on the Winds to shake the leaves from the trees and to scatter the seeds of the va- rious plants. He called on Frost to open the nuts on the trees. He called on the Snow Clouds to cover the newly scattered seeds and roots with a nice warm blanket of snow. The folks on earth liked Novem- ber's rule, judging by the great stores of food they had been able to lay by, and the merry-making and feasting indulged in. December was the baby of the family, and his prevailing characteristics were THE GLEAM -1920 49 generosity, and a huge love and admiration for his eldest brother, January, It was really very comical to hear him call in the North Wind, Snow Clouds, Frost and Ice in what he imagined to be an exact imita- tion of his brother's cold, austere manner. With the end of December's thirty-one days, each had taken his turn, and Old Father Time set himself to judging who had gained the victory. The more he thought about the matter, the farther away from a decision he seemed. The ruling could never be trusted to January, who was the eldest and natural heir, for he is too cold and austere. The folks on earth would freeze to death if he ruled all the time, and likewise they would starve to death, bcause January's weather is too cold to plant or grow any crops. The same criticism applied to February, the imitator of his brother. Poor March made such a failure of his reign because he had done nothing but bully and bluster and bluff. April could not be trusted with such a great responsibility because she- was too fickle and changeable. May had done well. exceedingly well, but she- hardly seemed suited to such a task. June might have been a happy ruler if all the folks on earth were lovers, but since they were only work- a-day folks in a Work-a-day world. she would never, never do. July-indolent July! What a pass 'things would soon come to if he were allowed to rule all the time! August for precisely the same reasons would never do for a ruler. To be sure, September's reign was very, very happy, but would three hundred and sixty-f1Ve days of every year. year in and year out, be so happy? Useful October could ripen the crops but he could not do it all, No- vember was a wonderful month in his place, but surely his place was not the year round. December was altogether too much of a baby to be entrusted with such a task. What shall I do? What' shall I do ? wailed Old Father Time, with a Pllzzled frown. But presently his face cleared, and he chuckled in a most delightful way: f01' he had one of his bright ideas. and at t1mGS Old Father Time has very brllllant 113925 indeed. U Again he called his children around him, and said: I have thought long and seri- ously over this test of yours, but I find that no one of you can rule well enough to rule all the time. So I have decided to let each of you rule in the same order, and the same way, and the same number of days that you ruled in your trial. In my wrath I cut February off with only twenty- eight days, but on every fourth year I shall be able to give him an extra day. You may use the helpers that you used your flrst month in any way you please. Then the people on earth will soon know what to eXpect, and they will know how to manage their affairs. .And they have stuck to this plan ever since. In this way no one child ever gets tired of ruling, and each year puts the best of his ability into his rule. This is the rea- son why each year is a brand new year and comes in with new possibilities and oppor- tunities, joys and sorrows, work and play, sunshine and rain, and the folks on earth hail each year with delight. THE END. THE LITTLE MAJ OR. On Friday and Saturday nights, January the twenty-third and twenty-fourth, the Senior Class of 1920 presented its play- The Little Major. The play was unusual in many ways. To see a romance of old Plymouth Town en- acted in this day in which modern themes have almost monopolized the stage, was delightfully refreshing. Every ' Senior was offered the opportunity of taking part in the prologue, and at the same time, in- dicating class spirit. This prologue, which showed the Puritans going to church, gave the keynote to the play in true Shakespear- ean style, and elevated it to the classic plane. Everything combined to lend a perfect atmosphere-the pantomimic character types of the prologue, the ominous Indian, appearing ever and anon, the interlude, which portrayed the merry-making of some Puritan lads and lassiesg the ushers, dressed in Puritan costumes, the stage settings and beautiful lighting effectsg and the orchestra music, under the direction of Miss Josephine Dixon. The character 50 THE GLEAM -1920 interpretation of the actors reflected the successful training of Miss Osla Sehrt, di- rector. The role of Rose de la Noye was taken by Cora Belle Powell. - ,As the pretty, roguish and Winsome French girl, she made a charming little Major. 'Twas no wonder, indeed, that it was a case of love at first sight between Rose and Garret Foster, played by Cecil'Soldan Els, whose splendid acting will long be remembered. John Margeson, the villainous rival for the Little Major's love, was cleverly en- acted by John Robert Allen. A spirited duel was fought between him and Garret Foster, which was not lacking in thrills. The appealing character of Phillippe d-e la Noye was represented by Maynard Hunt who, as Rose's bashful, timid 'little brother, created some delightfully whim- sical situations. ' John Baird made a typical Captain Miles Standish. This' characterization of the celebrated hero of American history was distinctively excellent. As Barbara Standish, wife to the Cap- tain, Gertrude Gaines' admirable acting offered a most interesting and pleasing counter-part. Miriam Chillingsly, a quaint little Pur- itan maid, and a fitting sweetheart for Phillippe, was capably portrayed by Vera Adams. Last, but not least, Aunt Resolute Story. Lavinia Record's artistic interpretation of this picturesque character could not be surpassed. V A world, of talent was dis- played in her observation of the most minute technicalities, and her success re- ceived ardent appreciation. The reproduction in 1920 of a romance of 1620 was both soothing and inspiring. Although it tasted of the ripeness of three hundred years, its lights and shadows abounded in the versatility and humor of youth. . i E. P. '20. THE TRIUMPH OF THE LYRIC. When man discouraged stands with droop- ing head, 4 And sorrowfully bemoans his fate, the ' dead A Or rather slumbering memories of the past Sweep o'er him, and he finds himself at last Enraptured by a long and winding train. Of memories that long have dormant lain. He hears the strains of 'most forgotten A lays, L The favorite lyrics of his childhood days, Float o'er the ever widening gulf of time In an endless outburst of melodious rhyme. Such is the lyric! In its dreamy swing The very soul of men is set to wing, And soars above the depths of sin and vice, Up to the tuneful realm of paradise. Why stand we here then on this lowly ground, o And weep because earth's trials us have bound - To stern reality? Come, let us start a song And bid these earthly woes of ours begone, While we, enchanted, soar to heights un- known With some intoxicating lyric poem. K. A. M. 220.

If iff ART The art department, under the super- vision of Miss Ruth Engel has been one of the most progressive departments in the school this year. Miss Engel has made an overwhelming success of every division of work that she has outlined for the pu- pils throughout the year. The work has included things not only beneficial to the art students, but to the school in general. Along with the study of charcoal, commercial advertising, enameling, interior decoration and cos- tume design, Miss Engel has woven book- binding, which has helped the English pu- pils. She has most liberally assisted in making the posters for all the school ac- tivities and her kindness in helping with The Gleam is to be remembered by every senior. She is little, but she keeps order. There is quite a contrast in the art department this year and some of the preceding years. Miss Engel is not too large to be spanked by any one of her pupils, but nevertheless, they heed her promptings and are kept quiet and busy. She is well liked and all the boys and girls respect her to the hlgh- est degree. Outside of school she is 3911- erally known as Ruth and a good sport. It can truthfully be said that she has is .. most successfully carried the art work through the '19-'20 term, though she has lost her GOOD disposition and got wrin- kles in its stead. L. S. '20, THE SEWING DEPARTMENT One of the most interesting departments of the High School is the sewing depart- ment. Hidden away at the back of the sec- ond floor of the Margaret Swope Art School is this department where the girls flearn the womanly art of sewing under the direction of Miss Margaret Chiles. As the Art School was once a private residence and was only slightly changed when remodeled, it seems very homelike. The girls are allowed to chatter away while they sew if they don't get too noisy. Al- though some may disapprove of allowing talking in a school room, they must re- member that one of the characteristics of a woman is to talk while working, what- ever the work may be. Therefore the talk rarely interferes with the class work, which is carried on informally. The two school hours spent in this de- partment each day are put to advantage by the busy girls. They here learn to beat the H. C. L. by making their own school clothes and hats. The first subject taken up during the 52 V THE GLEAM -1920 year is hat making. The girls learn to make both wire and buckram hat frames. They also learn how to remove old straw hat frames, and how to renovate old vel- vet. The girls are then taught to cover the frames and how to trim the hats stylishly. After completing the course in millinery, which lasts about eight weeks, the girls take up the study of patterns. In this study they learn howto make new patterns and how to cut over old ones. The rest of the year is spent in the making of underwear and dresses. Many stylish and becoming dresses are made by the girls while the best pupils, if they wish, are allowed to make coats. On the whole it is a suoject that every girl should take, and one that I am sure everyone should enjoy, for it is here one learns to make pretty clothes-a thing dear to every woman's heart. . D. C. '21. , MANUAL TRAINING Perhaps never before in its history has the' Manual Training Department enjoyed so successful a year as this. We find this true -not only regarding the quantity or quality of the work turned out by the shop, but also in opportunity for a more thorough training than has even been of- fered before. . This year, for the first time, the De- partment has worked full time g i. e. 90 minutes every day Cfor each classj through 36 weeks. In other words, the working time has been doubled. In many ways this innovation has proved its worth. First, the shop's output has been increased bythe extension of time. The quality of the work, too, has been raised .to a higher standard. Also, the. indi- vidual training has become more com- plete, which has led to greater dex- terity and skill, which, in their turn, have resulted in better and finer work in the end. In fact, the only drawback of the new system seems to be that only half as many pupils can be accommodated as in previous years. The Manual Training Department is fortunate in still having at its head Mr. W. D. Hifner, whose able and conscien- tious efforts are largely responsible for the Department's success. Eleven DUPIIS. In lathe, and forty-four intbench work con- stitute the personnel of the classes. Tak- ing all in all, the Manual Training De- partment can well consider 1920 as one of its biggest of all big years. R. W. S., '20. MUSIC DEPARTMENT. The music department has made great strides this year under the direction of Miss Josephine Dixon.- She is a friend to all the students, and in this way has created a great deal of interest in her de- partment. The ,department boasts this year of the following organizations: A Glee Club, called the B Natural Club, which consists of about forty-six girls. The officers of this club are as follows: Stella Sabrow- sky, Presidentg Dorothy Courtway, Sec- retary-Treasurerg and Zella Smith, Li- brarian. At Christmas, this club gave a Christmas cantata, The Angel and the Star. by Ira Wilson. It showed excellent training, and was greatly enjoyed by the assembly. These girls also presented on April 23, a musical comedy, The Dress Rehearsal, by Louise Diehl. It showed excellent work and was appreciatively re- ceived by the audience. -- Another organization which deserves praise is the orchestra. They have done excellent work this year, and ,have been on hand at all the High School entertain- ments to help out with their music. The harmony class is, the largest the school has ever had. It has twenty-four members, and excellent work has been ac- complished by all. Besides the study of Harmony, part of the time has been given to sight reading, history of music, appre- ciation and current events in the Musical world. A The chorus class, which meets only three times a week, has an enrollment of fifteen. This class has sung quite often in the assembly and is always greatly en- joyed. V Last, but not least, is our Male Quar- tette, which consists of Cecil Soldan Els, THE GLEAM -1920 ,53 first tenorg John Baird, second tenor, Maynard Hunt, barytoneg Kenneth Mor- ford, bass. Thes-e boys have done ex- cellent work and when entered in the High School Music Contest at Warrens- blufg, 012 April 17, they carried off the first prize-a beautiful silver cup. With all these excellent musical organ- izations, and the able leadership of Miss Dixon, W. C. H. S. has never lacked for the harmony of sweet sounds. MECHANICAL DRAWING The Mechanical Drawing department of the William Chrisman High School which is now located in the Margaret Swope Art School, is rapidly making draftsmen out of the 23 boys who are in this department. The rapid progress and remarkable success of the department is wholly due to the splendid training given by the teacher, Mr. L. E. Morris. .. Work is begun with elementary propo- sitions, designed to teach the pupil the rudiments of the art and to give practice with the tools. These are followed bythe different methods of projection, always in- creasing in difficulty as the student pro- gresses. The finished work reflects the hours of study and work put upon it to a remarkable degree. D May the Mechanical Drawing depart- ment grow and prosper in the years to come until the heights of perfection have been reached by all its pupils. He is a teacher that will help whenqhelp is needed, but simply refuses to do either the work or the thinking for the backward pupil. All mistakes are marked in red pen- cil, which, of course, makes them very con- spicuous, thus inciting each boy to greater effort that his paper may be void of red marks. A e COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT . Among the new institutions which were introduced in the high school last year with the advent of the new building was the Commercial Department. Since then this department, under the skilled super- vision of Miss Emma Witt, has' grown rapidly, until during the school, year just passed there were probably more taking this course than any' other-one line of study in the school. ' ' The equipment of the department pro- vides for coursesin bookkeeping and .ste- nography, the latter 'including shorthand and typewriting. M Bookkeeping is a two-years' course, one- half credit being received for--each year's work. There were, during the school year just passed, more than thirty students en- gaged in thiswork. . Q... . . ,. . ,Stenography is also a two-years' course, but it differs from the bookkeeping in that a person taking this line of study will not receive credit for it untilihe has completed the second year. Threecredits are awarded for the two-years' work. At the end of the two-years' work the student is sup- posed to write at least one hundred words a minute in shorthand and forty words a minute on the typewriter. ' There were sixty-six prospective stenog- raphers last year, twenty-two of whom were in their second year of the course. The instructor, Miss Witt, deserves much credit for the department and she has made a great number of lasting friends among the students who have enjoyed a portion of their high school days under her jurisdiction. 51 V7 ..R..' 4' ' Y 4 A TISIM H 'thlctics Bdldv '?,,.-av-1'-w..........,...g,..-.-., 4' ' ,, '-,,.

C. H. S. still feel that we have had a team to be proud of. A lone practice was held at the first of the season after which lack of adequate equipment caused Coach Sturges to give the aspirants a three weeks' rest, through fear some of his men becoming injured. Unfortunately for our prospects, the nu- cleus of our team was formed of only two letter men, since the famous all-star eleven of '18 were largely seniors and had been graduated the previous year. After about one week of practice the newly formed eleven journeyed to Lees Summit, where they proceeded to scalp that aggregation to the tune of 6-0. After this victory prospects looked exceedingly bright for the remainder o fthe schedule. About this time came a letter from the principal at Marshall, Mo., recommending that Independence join in an association of Central Missouri High Schools. This letter being enthusiastically received by the student body, Coach Sturges met other coaches at Marshall and received a sched- ule calling for four games-two with Lees Summit and one each with Odessa 21115 Marshall. Lees Summmit.. 0 Kemper M. A. . .48 Northeast ...... 26 Lees Summit .... 0 Liberty ..... .. . .27 Odessa ........ 6 Liberty ........ 3 Marshall ....... 25 It seemed that from now on we were destined to disappointments. The boys took an early morning train for Boonville, 'where they met the Kemper Military Academy boys, the result being that we were completely swamped. Our boys fought hard, but their inexperience made them fight to almost no advantage. Dur- ing this melee Fullback Allen suffered a bad scalp wound, after which the team collapsed with the Kemper boys rejoicing. Next Lees Summit came to our grid- iron, where they were allowed a 0-0 tie. It was the opinion of observers that we decidedly outplayed them all through. Four times we came decidedly near a touchdown, but at the last minute seemed to lack the punch necessary to carry the ball over. . Northeast High School of Kansas City met us at the Fair Grounds shortly after our Boonville game, while the team was still in poor condition. Northeast made the first touchdown, and succeeded after- wards in a try for the goal. Then the home team scored and the score stood 6-7, with prospects still bright. Here again our jinx appeared and stopped our scoring, while Northeast smashed through for three more touchdowns, the final score be- ing 6-26.

The first re- sulted in a victory for Liberty, our team going down to defeat to the tune of 6-27. The second game was slightly better, but although our team showed superior playing the odds seemed against us and the final score showed us beaten again, 0-3. ' The third association game was played at Odessa, resulting in a 6-6 tie. Again we were dangerously close to the enemy's goal, but always our punch failed at the critical minute. The lastgame of the season was played against the Marshall High eleven for the championship of the Central Missouri As- sociation. They downed us in a hard and well fought game, the final score being -O-25. This made the results of our asso- ciation games, won 1, tied 2, lost 1, which was considered a good record, taken all in all. Captain Baldus deserves much credit for his fighting spirit and plunging pro- pensities, especially since this is his first year at the game. Much credit is to be given to Coach Sturges for his quick de- velopment of new material. In conclusion, allow us to say that we consider the scores as only an incidental in the playing of the game. We may truthfully say that all through the season we have tried to exercise that spirit of sportsmanship and fair play which will be remembered long after: the scores have been forgotten. P. B.

W indsor, 35 Just as our football season had looked decidedly dismal at the first practice, so did our basket ball prospects look exceed- ingly gloomy when Coach Sturges began to pick out the material for our 1919-20 team. There was only one letter man about which to build the team, although there seemed to be no lack of excellent raw mate- .. -..,-L..-.-.........e.vm.:..v.,..: :s.e:5q..'a:n:., rial. The inter-class games did much to- wards developing this new material. Captain Glines kept his team on the jump at all practices, and all eyes were eagerly watching the approach of the In- dependence-Odessa game, where they ex- pected to see it proved as to whether or not the new team could put up a fight. 64 THE GLEAM -1920 They did, and the team won its first vic- tory at the expense of Odessa, 27-20. This being our first game, all confidently ex- pected a season of repeated victories. Country Day and Liberty each took a game from us before we won our next vic- tory. This was over our old rival, Lees Summit, the resulting score being 45-26. We then dropped a game each to Atchi- -son and Odessa before we copped another game-this time from the Harrison All Stars of the Muny League, Kansas City. We lost three more games before our next victory, which were our second game with Lees Summit, and two to Warrens- burg Training,School. Our next victory was over Pleasant Hill, the score being 49-34. , The next game was the thriller with Raymore, a complete account of which will be found elsewhere in this paper. Suf- fice it to say here that we were all in high spirits for some days after piling up the 31-28fscore against Raymore, which was reported to be a championship team. Before going to the district tournament at Warrensburg, Mo., we played Northeast High School of Kansas City. The boys seemingly became over-confident, because of its being only Northeast's second team 5 at any rate they got the game, 19-31. Our draw in the tournament was good, and we played our first game in the semi- finals. This game resulted in a defeat for our opponent, Pleasant Hill. The next game was with Windsor, and were de- feated, 29-35. Since Raymore finally Won this tournament, our boys felt a little in- clined to be vexed with their luck, since we had defeated Raymore at one time on our court. - Weight can count in basketball as well as in football and our team this year has been exceedingly light. What they lacked in weight, however, was pretty well made up for in their agility of body and alert- ness of mind. Coach Sturges is to be con- gratulated on the team of clean sportsmen which he has formed, any member of which is worthy of the respect and' ad- miration of any member of the school. P. B. E., '20.

The Chrisman team that had been de- feated by a score of 33 to 7 a week pre- vious warmed up on' the court ready to combat against the team which had taken it to such a drubbing. The Warrensburg team, one of real class and unlimited ex- perience, was gingering up at the other goal, and it was seldom that the ball would miss its mark, or the pass of the players would go wild. Their play seemed excel- lent. The school basketball followers assem- bled early, and eagerly watched the home boys in their passing and goal shooting, and there was much contention concerning the results of the game. One would say the boys were going to lose by an unpar- dnnable score, but some chanced to think that we would get at least one-half as much as they. The wise spectators, how- ever, remarked that forty minutes would be the best judge of the contest, they deeming that the best and wisest way out of the situation. A shrill sound of the whistle and the game was on, Bang! Bang! Bang! in rapid succession Glines, Curtis and John- son scored. 6 to 0 and we're off. Snappy passing, artistic dribbling. and wild heav- ing of goals continued, and the crowd with repeated outbursts of, cheers waited for the score which closed the half. It was announced as 20-15 Warrensburg. Woo- Gee! That was great. Wonder if the boys can keep that up ? 'seemed to be the general ,talk of the crowd during the 10- minute rest period. For it seemed possi- ble, likewiseprobable, that the local boys would emerge..-from the game by a much better scorelthan anyone expected. When they appeared again, all the speed and form seemed to be still there. Glines and Johnson worked together in style, and the most impossible shots were made by each. Johnson caged two so- called beauts in thuisrperiod, and Glines with only one in this period was the au- thor of four spectacular goals in the first half. It was with a hiss that they would go through, and accuracy Q prevailed in their play that night. Clark played his stellar game of the season. His forward, who scored at random a week previous, had a difficult time in even getting his hands on the ball. Plank and Curtis held up their ends throughout, worked hard and made up the cogs that make the team into a well balanced machine. Thus did they play, and as the specta- tors cheered the first half so did they continue, and so did the fast play go on Cwith one exception when Warrensburg called time for windj until the eager de- sire and the tense strain was ended, for the final gong had sounded and the score stood 35-25 Warrensburg. RAYMORE VS. WILLIAM CHRISMAN e HIGH. Raymore High School, having played a splendid season withgeighteen consecutive wins, also Winning the title at the District tournament, came to Independence to play the local school team. May we stop here to congratulate their team for their splen- did style of play, and also to give praise to our boys, who played an uphill game fought and won. This contest should go down in the memory of all as TI-IE GAME of the season. The only game of the season was voiced ,by one, and other such comment Was heard going broadcast. The game was sensational throughout with speed vs. speedg and brilliant playing on both sides evenly displayed. Each team took spurts and seemed to be getting the better of the game, then at the critical time the other would burst to the front, and the opinion of all would change in their favor, until at last all concluded that it was to be a battle royal, and only chance would credit one team the winner. The Chrisman boys started the game very slowly, verging on haphazard style. They found it hard to hold up their own, as goals were missed when the ball would circle around and then fall aside. Passes were made when no one was near to catch. Reckless as they were, the boys seemed to lack the energy. So in this style the first half was played, with a score in favor THE GLEAM -1920 L9 of Raymore, 12-11. Unlike the first, the second half started with a rush, and so continued with thrill upon thrill as the half progressed. Johnson, who in the first half had caged two spectaculars, started the fireworks with a goal from field. After teaming the ball around, Curtis became the author of a pair. Glines broke loose in this period and kept the crowd reeling with his occasional wicked heaves. Six times and he added 12-points to his team's tally. Clark alone deserves credit for the whole of the defense, as he crowned them all, as they approached out of the neutral territory. And with Plank at the Kan- garoo position, all was well. Such kept up throughout, and Raymore with their stel- lar players were keeping in the pace with our boys. Until finally all knew that the game was drawing near a close and all could see that we were three points ahead. But those last seconds, but it was minutes as there were two more to be played. The ball was tossed at center and passed be- tween the contesting teams, and thrown at the goal of each basket numerous times, but never did drop through. And the game became history with W. C. H. S. on the long end of a 31 to 28 score. W. C. H. S. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. This year a new organization was in- troduced into the High School athletic ac- tivities in the form of an Athletic Asso- ciation. The primary motive of the Association was to promote athletics and to relieve Coach Sturges of a great burden, so that he might devote more time to the coaching of the teams. The lack of support was greatly felt d ,iring the football season. The games were not well advertised nor well attended, the visiting team was poorly entertained, often having to ride the goat to the Fair Gloinds, as there were no cars available. The Association was put on a stock sharing basis, shares selling for fifty cents each. Many bought not only one but se eral shares. ' Officers were chosen and committees organized to take care of the entertainment of teams and advertisement of games. Through the support of the Association and the student body in general our bas- ketball season was a great success both financially and otherwise. We often had from four to five hundred' at our games and the sportsmanship of the' crowd was greatly improved. Those who saw the Lees Summit game at the first of the season and compared it with either the Warrensburg or Raymore games at the close of the season saw a great difference, as the crowd would cheer almost as loudly for the visiting team as for the home team. What greater results could anyone ask for than this improvement of sports- manship in the student body? in conclusion, let us hope that the Asso- ciation will live from Year to Ye-ai' 32111 thereby advertise Independence and its High School to the various neighboring towns. We want our town and school to be known to the other schools as an op- ponent that will give them fair play and a good time whenhere on a visiting trip. ' R. G. S. '20, DSS.

THE GLEAM -1920 GEORGE S. BRYANT LITERARY SOCIETY. Chief among the boys' activities, and always in the front of every big High School movement, stands the George S. Bryant Literary Society. The first society to organize, and the one-having the larg- est enrollment, the Bryant society soon be- came a potent factor in school life. The movement started with a rush, on September 22, 1919, when fifteen boys met in Miss Spencer's room and organ- ized. Of this number, now known as the charter members, eleven were Seniors and four were Juniors. Their names are: Tom Beets, Harold Borthwick, Lymerick Camp- bell, Paul Clark, John Cogswell, Blevins Davis, Evan Fry, Russell Gabriel, Aubrey Glines, Kenneth Morford, George Plank, Roy Roberts, Lester Shafer, Ronald Smith and Wayne Smith. A When Paul Clark be- came the first president, things began to happen right away. The society received another big boost when Miss Phelps as- sumedthe sponsorship. In two weeks' time after the organization, the society's constitution had been drawn up and put into operation, and a vigorous campaign for new members had been started. When it came to choosing a name for the society, the members, after contem- platingseveral suggestions, decided unani- mously upon George S. Bryant, in honor of our late principal whose noble work for the advancement of culture and learning is universally admired. From the very be- ginning the' society has prospered. At Christmas the membership numbered thirty-seven. Now, at the ClOSG of the year, the roll contains almost fifty names. The great aims of the G. S. B. Society have always been high. To start a great permanent movement among the boys of the High School. To gather all the repre- sentative boys of the various classes into one organization. To obtain for ourselves ease and confidence through debate and parliamentary practice. To acquire greater culture through the pursuits of literature. To meet and learn to know each other in a social way. These are principles for which the George -S. Bryant Literary Society stands. And what has the society accomplished? Rather ask, What has it not done ? Scarcely is there an assembly in which some one or more Bryant boysdo not take part. No one has stood more loyally back of athletics than the G. S. B. Societyg for example, note the Athletic Association, a purely Bryant creation. Also, some of the nicestof the year's social events have been produced by the society. Indeed, the Bry- ants may well be proud of their first year's acconiplishments. Finally, the prospects for the future are bright indeed. When the Seniors have left, the task will descend upon a band of un- derclassmen qualified by a year's experi- ence to carry it on. And it is the ardent hope of all ,Bryant boys that the George S. Bryant 'Literary Society will continue to be a dominant force in school life for many, many years. R. W. S. '20, .'..-.1-.a .-,--4 gffnvo--g-n..n.

Chiefly, as its name suggests, for literary purposes, al- though the year's association of its mem- bers has formed many new and lasting friendships, has created a delightful social spirit, has enlarged the aims and ideals of every member, and has taught the realization of true fellowship. Selecting carefully some plan by which to conduct the meetings, the Charter Members of the society decided to study American Poets and Short Story Writers, allowing, however, a deviation from this course whenever the situation should de- mand. One of the most interesting pro- grams Was a general discussion of Maeter- link at the time of his arrival in Kansas City, together with a sketch of his life and selections from The Blue Bird. At another ,meeting, a debate was held, the questionebeing, Resolved, that Woman Suf- frage should be limited, Miss Spencer, in relatinglstories of army life as she saw it. made intrinsically interesting a program concerning Robert W. Service, the pro- gram also including the life and poems of this War-time poet. These are merely illustrations of a portion of the workthe society has been doing in the weekly meet- ings. A V M nf Each girl in the society, by ,hy rela- tionship with the other girls, haslstrived to leave the low vaulted past and223f,',biiild more stately mansions as the swifgtisea- sons roll. A year of delightful studjgand pleasure, under the guidance of Miss Spencer, has helped to achieve this aim. The society remembers with pleasure the evening of 1 February 13, when the George S. Bryant 'Literary Society was the guest of the Nautilus Literary Society at a Valentine party given at the William Chrisman High School. The study hall was a veritable mass of hearts and Val- entines. Original games were played the entire evening. The appreciation of the George S. Bryant Society Was displayed in the many complimentary comments and the fifteen vigorous rahs for the Nau- tilus girls given at the close of the eve- ning. The recovery of school spirit, which had languished for so long, was truly af- fected. ...M -.--...M -HJ--ITL-, . ., -.,...,..a -w .41- s 5.Q.1:7:g-ge.:5.:.,.,..,.-...:.,5-.- 7,-3-3-1.51.-M.-.1 H- A-.AA wan.-P-ngn.1:-5-fn Q 4 - -n- za-1 vs- ,- .En .U vm- :--x-.gy 5. v 7 I , 2, i 'L Q. il O1 L . --...

We also strive to promote social activities and to strengthen the bonds of unity and good fellowship. However, in order to make the society a success, our regular school duties are not allowed to suffer. The society was organized on October 13, 1919, and originally consisted of twelve charter members. Since that time E0 new members have been added to our num- ber, making our present membership On December 15, 1919, we met for our initiation ceremonies. A very pleasant hour was spent and our enthusiasm waxed strong. Owing to the fact that initiations are especially for the members of the so- ciety, we do not feel free to give the details to the press for public perusall But we will say this much: Since such an event is not considered successful unless followed by a luncheon, our wideawake officers pre- pared a dainty repast for' the auspicious occasion. Most of the girls had heard rumors of sandwiches, hot cocoa, etc., and we were looking, with hopeful anticipation, toward that part of the program, but alas, Hope tells a flattering tale, delusive, vain and hollow, Ah, let not Hope- prevail, lest disappoint- ment follow. Just as we were about to be served, an accident occurred and much to our con- sternation, the cocoa was upset and went flowing merrily on, over the gym floor. But, since accidents are apt to occur in.the best of regulated families, we made the best of our misfortune. Our initiation party was declared a success, regardless of the loss of the cocoa. I Our society has held its Weekly meetings every Monday afternoon. Some very inter- esting programs have been rendered by the members, at these meetings. Under the supervision of our enthusiastic spon- sor, Miss Redmond, we feel that the year's work of the society has been a success. The first year of our organization is fast drawing to a close, and soon there will come a separation of friends. Some of these separations will be for months, while some will be forever, so far as school ties are concerned, as some of our members are Seniors. In the coming years, we expect much of our Aristonian Literary Society. We sincerely hope that, at some future time, this society will have grown to be a very important factor among the student body of William Chrisman High School. 1-,i,il., -1 OUR SPRING FROLIC. When the spring buds began to pour forth, and the first notes of robins were heard, the Aristonians, with pep, punch, and vigor, that is characteristic of their society, sallied forth on a glorious hike. The first event of spirit happened at the photographer's office, as the girls in their white middies and dark skirts, piled over each other, in order to be in the first row when their mugs were snapped. Then, With kodaks, and numerous rolls of films, with bundles that looked sus- picious of pickles, buns, weinies, and marshmallows, the merry Aristonians headed for Rock Creek. On the way many pictures were snapped and the crowd arrived in high spirits at their destination. The building of a fire by girls is always a comedy, but after much difficulty and almost a box of matches being wasted the bright flames boomed forth. The girls were requested to stand on the south side of the fire as wind-breakers. One of the remarks most often repeated, was, f'Say, you fat people get on this side of the fire, so it won't go out. On the home-coming stretch the girls visited the Englewood Drug Store, which is a haibt with girls when they can find one, and were treated to cokes and sun- daes. In return they made the store ring with yells and songs., At diffenent corners they bade each other good-night, and all left Miss Red- mond with this thought: All hail to Miss Redmond, a glorious sport, and as they lagged into town these words may be quoted: Tired with the afternoon's fun, they straggled home in the moonlight. r I -E-:wire fs:-141-wwf-p.-.A-aprnaew-Q-.1,..

In this year four Literary Societies were organized. The last, and of course the best, of these to be organized began its existence on Monday December Sth. The 'name As You,Like It was chosen for. this society, because-4Oh, for various reasons, but especially because it seemed to suit so splendidly the society -being composed of budding Sophomore and Freshman girls. The Society' sailed happily along its 'calm and inconspicuous Way until it decided to make its' debut which it did by presenting the comedy entitled A Dress Rehearsal of Hamlet'T before the assembled High School on WednesdayQ March 31. Now, as this school year closes we have high hopes that our future members Will continue to make a noble and illustrious success of the As You Like It Literary Society. iiv' ' ' .zaA.-.::':fesf.:.--2a..:.4qaa.f.,4.:eA,..: '...4..11s,1141.Qkwi4-L:, , 1 . 2 ' A W w , W , w 1 1 R I i .

The object of the organization was to create pep in the school, which they have done very successfully. There was neither a football or basketball game that was not supported by the cheers of the Pep Ol' Zene girls. To shdw their pep they offered a box of home made candy to ..l' their class team if they would win in the ffl 4 interclass games. Although their team lost they produced the candy, with good will. ' The Pep O' Zene Klub made its first appearance in public in a musical program which they gave in the assembly. No one ever missed a chance to be entertained by the Pep Ol' Zene Klub, because they were always assured a' peppy time. PEP 0' ZENE KLUB ENTERTAINS. The Pep O' Zene Klubentertained the Senior boys with a St. Patrick's party on St. Patrick's Eve at the home of Miss Louise Newton on West -Waldo. The house was beautifully adorned with St. Patrick decorations. Appropriate games furnished the evening's .entertain- ment. Prizes were awarded to Miss Ma- tilda Brown, Mr. Edward Royster and Miss Ruth Campbell. A three course supper was served by the light of green candles placed in the center of each table. The dainty little place cards, representing Irish lads and colleens, attracted much attention and admiration. The St. Patrick colors and the Shamrock were carried out to remote detail in the refreshments. The first course consisted of lettuce sandwiches, cheese sticks and fruit'salad placed in lettuce leavesg the second, white ice cream, with the green Shamrock in the center, and cakeg the third, hot coffee and mints. Little baskets of salted nuts were found on each table. Two Freshmen girls, Misses Elizabeth Lloyd and Maurine Latimer, served. ' The snappy green and white caps, which were worn by everyone present, proved an effective feature of, the event. The little green shamrocks found in the nut baskets and the little green pencils, used for one game. were greatly appreci- ated as favors by the guests. i THE WORLD WILL TURN BACKWARD When Miss Browiif forgets Shakespeare, connotation and consequently.

And step lively they did. Even the periods kept pace and passed quickly away, mak- ing room for the assembly hour which was always awaited in eagerness on this day. The assembly room rang with the open- ing number, My Country 'Tis of Thee. Everybody, including the faculty, sang the old familiar strains with pep, punch and vigor. . - A selection taken from The Courtship of Miles Standish was read by Zella Smith. It was f'The Wedding Day of Priscilla and John Alden, the old, old story that is lovingly lingered o'er. Evan Fry gave a pointed talk on f'What We Have to Be Thankful For. It may well be said ofthe High School that we're thankful Mr. Fry managed to get us all in so cleverly. From Seniors to Freshmen. and the faculty to the janitor, all had something to be thankful for. D We're Thankful for That was received with a burst of applause and was perhaps the most enjoyed part of the program. The girls, Elizabeth Palmer, Elizabeth Rider and Helen Hall, created a school sensation with their numerous limericks concernlllg people and happenings of everyday llfe- The program on the whole was a great success and enjoyed by GVGFYOHG Present- The closing number, The Star spangled Banner, was sung with enthusiasm, and soon the old hall was left empty with just the happy spirit and mere echoes of words such as Happy Holidays. - Z. G. S. '20. IN MEMORY OF WASHINGTON. lf after every tempest come such calms, May thi winds blow till they have wakened eath I It is true, that after every tempest, such calms as were established in the United States after the Revolutionary War, do not frequently occurg it is to the pure and valiant Washington that America owes the deep debt of being so skillfully delivered from the peril of the tempest, which was breaking the very heart of her freedom, and of being safely piloted into the restful and reconstructive lull of peace which followed the storm. It was to this man, The Father of our Country, that the William Chrisman High School, repre- sented by the George S. Bryant Literary Society and the Nautilus Literary Society, paid tribute on February 23, 1920. Abraham Lincoln's tribute to Washing- ton was appreciably interpreted by Eliza- beth Palmer. A song, Keller's American Hymn, by Hilda Ohmann, and a violin solo by Ammon Fry, formed two very fit- ting musical numbers. The Boys' Chorus, accompanied by Blevins Davis, sang Mount Vernon's Bells, after which, by request, Cecil Soldan Els sang. -A read- ing, On Guard America, was given by Wayne Smith. A tableau, presented by thirteen girls of the Nautilus Literary So- ciety, representing the Thirteen Original States of the Union, grouped about the Goddess of Liberty, Frances Small, was de- cidedly spectacular and pleasing. An address by the Rev. I. D. Borders, formed a fitting climax of this intrinsical- ly interesting program. Dr. Borders filled his audience with a deep, venerable awe for the name he was honoring. When Marathon had been fought, said Dr. Borders, and the liberties of Greece pre- served, each conquering general voted him- self entitled to first place, in credit for the Victory, but all united upon Miltiades as 'z-if in-,ui I l . 1 II ii i . fl . THE GLEAM -1920 deserving the second honors. When was concluded the great war for American ln- dependence, there might have been contra- riety of opinion as to who deserved second place, but all would readily ascribe first honors to George Washington, 'first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen' G.-G., ' 0. il...,l - Miss SPENCER TALKS IN ASSEMBLY ,We have been especially fortunate in having with us this year a young lady who had returned from ten months' ser- vice in France shortly before school began. Almost any noon, one who passed Miss Spencer's door, would see a group of Seniors around her desk, asking all sorts of questions about France. But for the benefitfand pleasure of the whole school, in a long assembly period one morning, Miss Spencer related in a most interesting manner some of her experi- ences in France. She described in an in- teresting manner the trans-Atlantic voy- age, and narrated some stories of thesub- marine scares encountered on the way. Upon first arriving at France she was sent to Beaune, in the southern part, Where she lectured on French history to large assemblies of soldiers, so they would become acquainted with the' places or buildings of historic interest which they encountered. After that she had the won- derful experience of being in charge of a Y. M. C. A. hut. To help cheer up the boys, she made twenty gallons of hot chocolate each morning and afternoon, and sometimes seven hundred doughnuts a day, at the rate of six at a time. In addi- tion to this, she rendered numerous per- sonal services, such as mending, darning, e c. - i Miss Spencer held the attention of her audience from first to last, and all seemed glad of a chance to hear something about France and the Great War. ' Musical numbers were furnished by Miss Mildred Spencer, who had won the school at a previous performance. Her vocal numbers, to which she played her own ac- companiment, were well received by the audience. J. M. C., ' O. 'KHRISTMUS The Christmas program presented .by the Juniors this year was a representation of Ye Olde Deestrict Skule, -during their holiday merry-making. Everything was there, from the old tin water bucket to the Rev. Solomon Grundy QHoward Kerrj, with his mouth full of prodigious words and his pockets full of playing cards. There were the watchful mothers, the self-satisfied members of the school board, and, the stern faced master QKenneth. Flournoyb, who had his hands full watching the ever mischievous children--one in particular, Ebenezer Pucker, otherwise known as Clar- ence Franklin. The said little boy was continually getting into trouble, but man- aged quite successfully ,to read a .very edifying essay on Christmas and why it was spelled X-m-u-Z. Other numbers on the program .were stumbled, cried, or yawned through by various other pupils of the school, and finally came the presents from the Christ- mas tree. The Juniors were very gener- ous, for on the tree were a number of gifts for the faculty and student body. The climax came when the word abso- lutely was presented to Professor Elliot on a placard, so that he might never run the risk of losing it again. ' The play was written andearranged by Doris Nelson, Henrietta Wolford, Elva Merril, Dorothy Courtway and Hester Swan. . M., ' . GAVE EXCELLENT PROGRAM. In an afternoon assembly near the first of the year, the students of William Chris- man High School were given a most de- lightful musical treat, by three young ladies from Kansas City, two of whom were sisters of Miss Spencer. The first group on the program was given by the soloist, Miss Mildred Spencer. The numbers were: A Greek Love Song, by Lisa Lamen, and Dream o'Day Jill, from the comic opera Tom Jones. These well rendered numbers brought an ovation from the audience. Next came The Black Bird Song, by Cyril Scott. THE GLEAM -1920 87 The second group const d f ' ' numbers by Mrs. Frank. lslfilzrstowasllctlllg HV-3159 TfiSte, by Sabliens. In S0uve- nier, which followed, Mrs. Frank dis- played to a good advantage her wonderful technique and her mastery of the violin, As an encore she played the ever beautiful DrifLlg9, by Saint-Saens. e next selection, a piano S010 la ed by Mrs. Weidman, proved especially Bin- teresting and tuneful. As an encore Mrs. Weidman 32-VB a very harmonious selec- tion for the left hand alone. The fourth group was the climax. With Mrs. Weidman at the piano, and Mrs. Frank playing the obligato, Miss Spencer SHI18' By the Waters of Minnetonka, Dear Old Pal of Mine, and Your Smile. Miss Spencer's career is extremely promising as she possesses all of the qual- ities that it takes to make a modern con- cert singer. Her tones are clear and pure and she sings with great ease. We, as a student body, were most grate- ful to these young ladies for their pleasing and excellent program. J. M. C. '20. BISHOP QUAILE TALKS FOR ASSEM- BLY. Did you ever stop to think that you owe it to the world to be pleasant? Perhaps you never do, or perhaps you never did, but that doesn't keep it from being so, just the same. If you did not hear him, it is your misfortune, however, if you had been fortunate enough to have heard Bishop Quaile talk in assembly you would never have forgotten your duty. From begin- ning to end Bishop'Quaile's talk was just overflowing with interest, and had one taken the pains to store away in his mind bits of things which he said, W. C. H. S. would probably be noted throughout the whole world, because it so faithfully per- formed this beautiful duty. . Bishop Quaile said that we owed it not only to our own little selves to be pleaSaH'C, glad and happy, but to the world as well. Don't get it into your head, he S9-ld, that you are better than everyone else, because you aren't. You should neither reach up nor down to shake hands with a DGFSOH, but you should reach straight out before you-yes, shake hands on a level. Furthermore, Bishop Quaile said that some people got it into their heads that because of some achievement which their ancestors performed, that they were the cream of society, and better than the rest of the common herd. If you are one of those kind of people, he has a little secret to llnpart to you, and if you listen closely it will not have to be repeated but once. If you aren't very, very careful, you may find one of these days, that instead of the cream Qnow pay close attentionj, that you are the scum. Scum as well as cream rises to the top. I should just love to tell you more, but l dare not-but just listen one moment, please, and always remember that by not hearing Bishop Quaile's talk you have missed far more than you have gained by reading this. But one last request, and then you may go. Don't forget that scum as well as cream ri- I knew you wouldn't forget! S. M. B. '20. l. J UN IOR-SOPHOMORE. An' the Goblins 'll Git You ef You Don't Watch Out. Of course the class of '21 always has to start the year out right, and did so, this year, by entertaining the Sophomores with a Hallowe'en party. On October 24, they decided to do the deed, because of the great number of other parties, always given on the thirtieth. Well I'll admit the Sophs were rather surprised when they re- ceived the invitation, but, as they always do, they accepted it, gladly, and the prep- arations went on more smoothly after the committee found that it was really work- ing for such appeciative souls. The gym was chosen as the proper place for the affair, for really there weren't any other places from which to choose. The railing of the track was decorated with yellow and black crepe paper and autumn leaves. The basketball goals had great pumpkin heads with sharp teeth and eyes as big as saucers, glaring down from 88 THE GLEAM - l92O them. All of the lights were trimmedso, that a shadowy, spooky, atmosphere pre- vailed over all. In one corner the Witch, herself, erected her den, with its smoky, smouldering fire, over which was sus- pended her magic kettle. Here she told the fortunes of all present, revealing great secrets of past, presentand future. A large crowd was present, considering that it rained all the early part of the evening. Costumes? Well I should say so. Thre was everything there from gob- lins, ghostsand witches to fairies, elfs, and A enchanted princesses. ' After trying to guess who everyone there might be, many exciting and enter- taining games were played, among which were 'Flying Dutchman and Three Deep. Ice cream, wafers and apples were then served which gave us a good send-off to our homes and the land of dreams, where ghosts and goblins raced and frol- iced to their hearts' content. ' - . D. E. 21. SOPHOMORE-JUNIOR Friday, March 19, the Sophomores en- tertained the Juniors with a St. Patrick's day party in the gymnasium. There were a great number of students present and there was fun enough for all. The gymnasium was decorated in green and white crepe paper and green and white balloons. Both backboards were decorated with a background of. gr-een paper, in front of which were black Irish harps. As each guest arrived, he or she was invited .to kiss the Blarney stone andbe knighted by St. Patrick, in the person of Horace Crews. Then followed a series of lively games, led by Horace Crews. The guests were then invited to come upstairs, where they were served pie a la mode. The color scheme was carried out in the refreshments with green and white ice cream. Even the napkins were bor- dered with green. The party was full of pep throughout, and was voted a howling success by all who were present. M. E. F., '22, JUNIOR CLASS PLAY. The Junior Class this year took a step in advance of the 'previous classes' by put- ting on a play in their junior year, It was by no means intended as a rival of the senior play but was put on as an in- centive to future classes to follow in their footsteps. ' ' Miss Johnson, their'sponsor, suggested that they put on a play, the proceeds of which should start a library fund for the school and the class heartily agreed' Ae- cordingly, Just For Fun, a light society comedy was selected and presented March 26th and 27th. The part of Mrs. Fitzgerald Mandeville De Smythe, a regular Mrs. Wood B. High- brow, was exceptionally well taken by Edythe Gibson. Dorothy Etzenhouser, as the Irish Maid, Jane McCarthy, was the delight of the audience andkept them convulsed with laughter by her funny actions and Irish brogue. ' ' The part of Miss Morton, a Western heiress and niece of Mrs. De Smythe, a modest,-retiring girl, was played by Tem- ple Child. Sallie Adele Pendleton 'took the part of 'her dashing young friend, Miss Mable West, who, 'as a special favor, agreed to pose as the heiress during their visit to Mrs. De Smythe. Lymrick Campbell played the part of the Englishman, Lord Chelsea, who, tired of beinghcourted because of his title, ex- changed identities with his happy-go-lucky friend, Jack Earl. Reginald Smith did un- usually well in his role of the happy-go- lucky friend and with his exaggerated mannerisms and assumed graces just suited Mrs. De Smythe's idea of an Eng- lish Lord. The play was a decided success and the juniors feel deeply grateful to Miss John- son for her part in making it so. Her success as a director has been proved to everyone's satisfaction. One of the features of the evening was that of having the ushers in masquerade costumes. Between the first and second acts a vaudeville stunt was given by some Of ,the JUHIOP boys, under the direction of THE GLEAM -1920 89 Miss Dixon. Cecil Soldan Els and John Baird werethe soloists. The school is indebted to the Junior Class for the num- bering of the seats in the auditorium. The proceeds of the play amounted 1,0 S200 and the Juniors feel proud to offer this as a foundation for an adequate li- brary for the High School. D. C. N., '21, ST. JOSEPH-INDEPENDENCE DEBATE After some deliberations, both as to contestants and as to the subject to be contested, Roy Roberts and Kenneth Flournoy were chosen to debate with St. Joseph on the subject, Resolved, that the National Government of the United States should own and control the Merchant Ma- rine. Independence supported the nega- tive side. Mr. Roberts writes of the trip and debate as follows: ' WeVleft Kansas City Friday morning on the interurban, and arrived in St. Joe some time before noon. Since this was our first trip, and having Mr. Hifner as a chaperon, we naturally visited the manual training shops of the city. Taking a car to the south part of town, we arrived in the vicinity of Benton High School, and after a great deal of puffing and blowing, we mounted a monstrous hill and entered the school proper. After looking around a little we all came to the conclusion that neither the equipment nor the work turned out could quite equal that of our own home town, and as noon was approaching we all left for Central High. Central is the largest high school of the town, having an enrollment of about 850 scholars, besides the Junior College which is housed in the same building. We had luncheon at noon in the school cafe- teria, located in the basement,.after which we wandered about through the building viewing the immense amount of equipment necessary for so large a number of pupils. The debate was scheduled for two 0'clock. The students assembled, and after a few announcements and a great deal of yelling, the debate began. It was hotly and enthusiastically contested, but we seemed to be no match for the boys of the opposing side, who had been trained by a professional coach, and the decision was awarded to St. Joseph 'mid the cheers of the assembly. We left soon after in order to catch the four o'clock interurban, which arrived in Kansas City about six o'c1ock. Mr. Hif- ner left us, having tickets to. the Shubert Theatre, and we took our way homeward after what we considered a very profitable day- R. R., '20. JUNIOR RECEPTION On the evening of May 14, 1920, the Juniors entertained the Senior Class- with a delightful reception. Away back in 1906, the class of '07 de- cided that the very best way they could show the Seniors that, beneath all class rivalry, they really had a great dealiof re- spect for them was to give them a recep- tion. It must have been a success, for it has become the social function of each suc- ceeding year. Every class wants their reception to be the best one ever given. The Class of '21 accordingly set out with a big goal ahead, and it is noised abroad that they attained ut. The guests of honor were met by the Junior Class officers and were cordially welcomed. The guests found their way along familiar halls to 'artistically ar- ranged reception rooms where the time till 9 o'clock, when they were attracted by strains of music to what was once study hall, seemed short indeed. Miss Henry was there, but even she did not know where we all belonged, however, artistic little rainbow placecards soon plainly told us. The room was just one big rainbow! There was a large one at one end of the room and beyond it glistened a wonder- fully constructed fountain. And, true to tradition, there were the pots of gold at the ends of the rainbow. Twenty-one small tables were tastefully decorated in rainbow colors with sweet peas. A delightful three course luncheon was served by twelve Freshmen girls. The spirit of good fellowship was maintained throughout the evening by the toastmas- ter, Tom Beets.

It was the most informal affair Independence High School has yet seen. The boys wore overalls and the girls wore aprons. Everyone's name was pinned on him as he came in. And everyone was ,given a stick of gum. Lively games were playedg peppy music was fur- nished by Vance Eastwood's jazz band in the guise of negro minstrels. Ice cream cones supplemented the chewing gum as refreshments. The mixer was a great suc- cess, and it was the foundation ofa feel- ing of good fellowship between the Seniors and the Freshmen. E.

Dear-Alumni Editor.: 'A First let me wish your class all success with its Gleam, its play, with all its activ- ities, frivolous and serious, that make up the Senior year. Because you were my Sophomores I feel a particular and special interest in your welfare. It is ten years since I was a Senior. The night of commencement in 1910 eight or ten of us who had been great friends through High School ,sat on my front porch and talked together, a bit sentimentally, perhaps, as friends, young friends, will, when there comes a parting of the ways, Chiefly the conversation centered around someone's dreamy query, Wonder what we will all be doing ten years from now ? Some of those people have wandered far, as far as the Argonne and backg some are married and settled down, all are in lVIissouri,,now, I think, except myself. Japan is a very charming place to live a bit of one's life, Tokio, because of a large foreign population, the embassies and lega- tions, and the many, many social things. But for sight seeing of a serious sort, the kind that aims at seeing a people as they are and getting an insight into' their lives, one must ,go into the country. The things We read of at home which make us long to visit the land of cherry blossoms are to be found in the rural districts. It is so in any country, I 'think. For me Japan was very disappointing at first. Instead of bright colors, sunshine and flowers, ' there was the drabbest, dirtiest, dullest sort of a place imaginable, and it rained constantly. 1 Even now that I love it, I cannot say much in favor of the climate, and never have seen such mud. But when one gets accustomed to the dis- agreeable features, he begins to look about and see beneath them a real and lasting beauty, At the ,back of each tiny unpainted house is a perfectly adorable little garden. And so with everything here. 1 Back of the ugly cities is a beautiful country, green rice paddies, tall pine trees and glorious mountains. No matter how it may rain one day, the next is most likely bright, and one can see Fugi-San. People who have been everywhere say ,there is nothing more beautiful in the world than that serene, sacred mountain of Japan- and I well believe it. It is never the same twice. I have looked at it from my bed- room window on a clear dayo I have viewed it from Lake Shoji at its base. Its charm always increases. . A Yesterday we saw it from the train on our way to Kamakura, snow covered and dazzling white in the sunshine. As we re- turned the sun was setting behind it and it seemed deep purple against a flaming background, then as the sunset faded, it became gradually blue, and farther away, and somehow more mysterious. d Kamakura was at one time capital of the empire, the seat of the Shoguns, the proud rulers of Japan before the restoration of a half century ago. It is now a quiet fish- ing village, noted for its many temples and the great bronze Buddah! We often spend our week ends there in summer, for the surf bathing is delightful and there is a -first class foreign hotel. As to the people, most foreigners do not like the Japanese, possibly because they do not understand them, for their polite- ness is only on the surface, and when they say one thing they think another. There are a few exceptions, but most of us, who are not here to teach or preach, soon give up trying to understand them. We lose interest in so baffling a problem. It is like the language. We learn enough to get along in the shops and with our servants, then give it up as not Worth the time it takes to master it. My husband and I live in a small Jap- anese house with sliding walls and padded floors. We have two tiny maids, shiny haired and narrow eyed, to wait upon us, THE GLEAM 1920 a11d we eat regular Ame11c1n food Across from us IS the huge estate of 3, very wealthy baron Below us ale the hovels of some 11ckshaw men and c0ol1es R1ch and poor l1ve Slde by Slde eve1ywhere and each takes h1s lot ph1losoph1cally Just around the corner IS a Shmto temple or shr1ne and often IS one aware of the w1nd 1n the p1ne trees and the t1nkly temple bells But dont th1nk It IS all qu1et and peaceful e1the1 for we R16 as often awale of the shr1ek1ng notes of the f1sh monger s horn and the rasplng call of the tofee man It 1S fasc1nat1ng at n1ght 1n Tokyo long streets hghted from the busy l1ttle shops narrow dusky lanes where one sees shad owy gates by the famt hght of the r1ck shaws But enough of th1s My letter IS far too long Good bye and good luck to you all S1ncerely KATHERINE MIZE ACCOLA Un1vers1ty of Porto R1co R10 P1edras P R Apr11 7 1920 I well remember my own school days 1n old I H S and the work and fun we had 1n gettmg out the Gleam So I am glad to answer your request and tell you some thlng about Porto RICO Thls beautlful 1sland IS often called The Land of Enchantment and one who has been here could never doubt that t1tle When the Amer1cans took possess1on 1n 1898 Porto R1co was l1ke all the Spamsh Amerlcan countr1es qua1nt plcturesque and Wlth an mdeflnable charm For four hundred years the people had l1ved 1n more or less the same manner then homes were of Spanlsh 01 MOOT18h style the1r l1ves Slmple and the11 wants few No One gave a thought of tomorrow and bull f1ghts cock f1ghts dances and the gover1n ment lottery were the amusements of t people San1tat1on was consD1CL10l1S by ltd absence candles and 011 lamps furnlshed re used 1llum1nat1on oxen and horses we 1n transportat1on When one stepped ashore 1n the Porto R1co of the past 0119 stepped 1nto a fore1gn land and 1nto scenes of four centur1es ago Of course th1s IS all changed now but there IS st1ll enough of the Spamsh ro mance and charm left to make It a most 1nte1est1ng place The large C1t1QS hav become mod rn and partly An1er1can1zed and to f1nd the real Porto RICO on must go 1nto the country where cond1t1ons are much l1ke those of the past San Juan the largest c1ty on the 1sland and the capltal has about 60 000 1nhab1t ants It IS bu1lt on the slope of a small h1ll The narrow streets wh1ch run par allel and cross each other at r1ght angles are perfectly stra1ght and run down to the bay where the Steamers dock It vas formerly enclosed on every Slde by strong fort1f1cat1ons and walls but 1n 1897 they were partly torn down One of the most 1nterest1ng s1ghts of the 1sland IS these walls and old El Moro at the en trance of the harbor The roads connectmg the largest C1t1eS are well bu1lt and well kept As one rldes along he sees flelds of tobacco and p1ne apples lmrnense orange and grapef1'u1t groves and m1les and mlles of sugar cane the Chlef wealth of the 1sland place for tour1sts and on account of the del1ghtful chmate they come 1n great numbers durmg the w1nter months Some t1mes they get 1nto terr1ble d1ff1cult1es on account of the d1fference 1n languages The Porto R1can people are a m1xture of Negro Spamsh and Ind1an In my own work IH the Unlverslty I come 1nto close contact wxth the students and I f1nd them br1ght and anx1ous to learn but greatly h1ndered because the Enghsh language IS so hard for them Th1s hand1cap w1ll of course gradually dlsappear Tak1ng lt all 1n all th1S year has been an exper1ence most 1nterest1ng and de l1ghtful I should 3dV1S6 everybody who can to pay a v1s1t to Porto R1co the Gem of the Carr1bean Slncerely yours NANCY LEE COGSWELL THE PLAYS THE THING The ma1n ob1ect of Semor Enghsh IS to develop the pup1l s dramatlc ab1l1ty The followmg are promlslng actors and ac ' 97 C ac N. z .H ' .

I think I will go to the graduating exer- cises of the High School this week. -, I ran across my old diploma the other day, tied with faded blue and lemon colored ribbon, and my name written in the blank space in lovely shaded writing by the best penman in town. Our professor's signa- ture was there, too, as superintendent of schools, and in pale ink, the quavering writing of an old man who was then pres- ident of the board of education. It was one of the big events of my life, that night I sat on the stage in Armory Hall, with twenty-four girls and boys, and squirmed all through, from the lengthy in- vocation to the Presentation of Diplo- mas by somebody or other. And I re- member how fearful I was lest my petti- coat should show, for at the last minute, before leaving home, it did show, and my mother stood me up on the dining table while she ran a tuck in it. The other two petticoats were shorter and so needed no alteration. , I wonder -if the girls will be as excited at their commencement this week as I was. Never was any dress lovelier than mine. It was of white albatross, with wide satin sash, and shirred all around the neck. It was the first dress I had ever had made by a real downtown dressmaker. and she charged 33.50 for making it, but it was worth it, for I know I told fifty people, Oh, shoot, I have to go to the dressmak- er's this evening. Some of the girls in my class had more young ladyfied dresses. I remember-Ruth had one of white silk and a white silk pet- ticoat, but she only got one basket of flow- ers and a few bouquets. Nellie had a cream colored Henrietta and Margaret had one of china silk. with loads of silk laces. She wore a watch and diamond ring that belonged to her sister from Kansas City, and Mary's mother told my mother it was in very poor taste. THE GLEAM - 1920 99 The stage was all trimmed with garden flowers, mostly roses, for it was in late May. Every one of those twenty-five boys and girls had a graduating essay, or did they call them orations? Above the stage in gold letters was our class motto: Not at the top, but climbing, and we Wore our class pin-a little gold ladder that cost 31.25. A young woman who had studied sing- ing six months at the Boston Conservatory of Music sang Good-by, Sweet Day, and later a duet with the Congregational min- ister, O-h, That We Two Were Mayingf' After each oration the ushers, all boys we knew, brought up the flowers. The finest were baskets filled with moss and the flowers stuck in with toothpicks. They were still fresh the next day and most pf us had our pictures taken with all our flowers around us. I was very proud be- cause I got the basket with the tallest han- dle, bound with smilax, and a huge calla lily occupying the most prominent place The boys in the class looked fine, too. Several of them had their first long trou- ser suits. Trying to be dudes, my father said when he heard Damon's suit had cost 315. . When I looked over the old program the otherday I wondered how so many could have stayed through so tedious a thing. Nellie's oration was on The Footprints of the Ages 3 Josie's was Think for Thy- selfg Walter's was Where Shall I Write My Name ? Laura told how Perseverance Wins, and John, who afterward won the oratorical prize at the, Baptist .C0ll9g9, made a great hit with Night BYIHES Out the Stars. D Gordon took the subject, Beyond the Alps Lies Italy, Pearl. Love of Our Na- tive Land, and we all thought SOIHGOHG must have helped Allen write his essay 011 Progress-Its Demands 1n.Amer1ca. .I know our English teacher cried when DIZ- zie gave hers on Memory's GaI'12HdS- I think we all felt a little Sad when Florence stepped to the front of the stage and gave the valedictory, The Parting Hour. U The High School orchestra played selec- tions from the Bohemian Girl, and we all stayed on the stage while half the in- habitants of the town came up and con- gratulated us. Yes, I think I will go to some of the commencement exercises this week and see what the girls wear, and how they bow when they are handed their diplomas. --By a High School graduate of twenty- five years ago. CNote-The following letter comes from one who, though not a graduate of this school, still holds a place in the hearts and minds of the Class of '20. Since this per- son has left our midst and is having excit- ing times at another school, we deemed the Alumni department the proper place for the following.-Editors.J Redlands, California, is set in a natural amphitheatre of hills, which slope gently upward and back to the mountains, sur- rounding the town on all sides but the West. It is exceedingly beautiful just at this time of the year, the air laden with the perfume of orange blossoms and roses. Redlands is a town of many schools. Besides six or seven ward schools, bonds have lately been voted for a S100,000 In- termediate school building. The High School buildings consist of the main build- ing, the Household Arts building, the Manual Arts building. The Redlands Uni- versity is also located here, and by fall four new buildings will be completed, making ten in all. The Senior Class of the High School here has eighty-five members. We have taken several trips into the mountains, have had numerous parties, and now are prepar- ing for a class play, The Daughter of Heaven.

So we gave an assembly to remind them of a few of the things we had done and to prove that we would do others-such as sing, and talk, and yell-the things they had been complaining that we couldn't, or at least, didn't do.

' How dear to our hearts are the memories of school days When Girl Graduate Books do present them to view, The Latin, the Shorthand, the History and Civics, And every learned path which our minds did pursue.

They're finished at last. . 1 The Irish are noted, I shrill, For the keeping of study halls still, Cause we have one of fame, .

CWith apologies to the author of Goe- thals, the Poet Engineer. J The old cow ,stood on the railroad track, Where many a cow had died, To eat the juicy grasses . That grew on either side. ' The cow stood on the railroad track Very well satisfied. The poor old cow did bend her gaze To see the engine's crew, Her whistle blew so loudly She knew not what to do, For where the trains sometimes stop Steamed this one straight on through. A poet caught her in Panama And used her for his theme, He asked her many questions To give himself a scheme- The churches rang their old bells loud And the whistles blew with steam. So never more did this cow stand In a place like this one here, But on through the gates of Heaven This cow would soon appear, For their trespasses are westward sent By the speedy engineer. TOM BEETS. At the preliminary to the Raymore basketball game: Bess Rider-Are we going to play 'fwinkumn tonight? Jack-No! We're going to play Ray- more. - The day was so long and the class was so dull That I soon fell to sleep in the midst of a lull, ,But the' teacher was angry and spoiled all - my fun, i So I took to my heels, and to the Drug 'Store did run. MISS PTIQIDS-Who was the great Irish- man who was the first to speak for Irish rights in Parliament? Mop Street-Patrick Henry, THE GLEAM -1920 105 There once was a boy with a mass, Who set it on fire with some gas. He was blown all too soon Way out of the room There was a young lady named Mandy So exceedingly fond of pink candy That she ordered a cart' , M For she thought it was smart, Many miles from the Chemistry Class. And she ate it and said, Oh, it's dandyf' We once had a teacher named Sehrt, There was an old town called Indep. Who a sweet disposition did inherit, With cities it kept right in step, But when she gets peeved, And right here and now We all firmly believe, For its favor we'1l vow, We never, oh, never! could hear it. When it comes to its schools and its pep. There was a young lady named Ruth, There was a young girl, Josephine, So exceedingly fond of the truth Who always did want to be seen, That she'd died if she lied, She slipped on a rose Or run out and hide- And cut off her toes, A This pious young lady named Ruth. And now she's contrary and mean. - 1. There once was a two-head mule, Who acted so much like a fule That he played the guitar- You could hear him afar, This wonderful two-headed mule. X.!
