They have been very loyal indeed to the class of '22, Miss Phelps as one of the directors of all the activities of the Senior Class, is to be commended for her efficiency and skill. Miss Chiles has supervised the finances of the class with an .economical hand. Miss Chiles signs all the checks and the only question she asks is, What is it for? There is no skipping around Miss Chiles. Although this is Miss Hutchison's first, year in the teaching world, she has been loyal to our class and Willing to help at any time. I 131312 WR. IG. Illinlrg The William Chrisman High School has been exceptionally fortunate in having Mr. R. B. Finley as its principal. He was formerly principal of the Marshall High School. Mr. Finley, with the assistance of the faculty, has raised the morale of our school one hundred per cent. This fact is realized and appreciated very much by the student body. With our best interests at heart, Mr. Finley proposed to have student govern- ment established in our school, but found us sadly lacking in the qualities necessary for such an undertaking. However, all credit be to Mr. Finley, for within the nine short months that he has been working with us, he has educated us to the point of self-governmentg and we have a student government completely organized and at work. We are sure that the students of next year and the years to come Will have a much better school because Mr. Finley has been with us to guide us and help us, and we Sil1Cc1'ely hope that they may enjoy the privileges of his association, help, and guidance. 32 T H E G L E A M ' Zilhv Halwe nf an Zihnmiinn Does education pay? Shall I go on with my education or stop and divert IHY attention towards other things that might be of more value to me? In' S11lQSl32IlC9', we have heard these questions time and again, even when we know education 1S evei be- coming more prominent. 1 , 1 It has long been known that an education is a most invaluable aidlto the plo- fessional man. But what of the boy or girl who intends to prepare-for skilled manual labor of some sort? In past times it was 'strenuously argued that it was unessential, that Greek and Latin were not needed to build a house or to make shoes. 1 ' Modern times have completely changed this theory. A man cannot live IH 0116 sphere. Now, the Montana ranchman attends the stockman's convention at Kansas City. The carpenter reads literature of a class entirely above the heads of the carpen- ters of other days. These men need an education to be able to, take advantage of these present-day opportunities. They must constantly be meeting educated people, and to protect their own interests they must meet them on an equal basis. The old idea that education makes a man dissatisfied with his lot is rapidly giving way' to the new idea that education soars him on to improve. his condition. Instead of being hopeless, the educated man forever sees his goal ahead and will strive to reach it. D A higher education broadens a narrow mind, teaches one to make business prog- ress, and how to conduct oneself when with other people. When one stops' to think of the prominent men of to-day, it is the men that have taken advantageof an education and have gained their renown by means of the educa- tion received in colleges. This should be a strong incentive to every student to get a complete education. In the American VVho's Who, of 1917, seventy-three per cent of those .mentioned were men and women of college training. When Aristotle was asked how the educated man differed from the uneducated, he answered: As the living differ from the dead. From this, we see that education means life. From that one axiomatic statement, the true value of an education is proven to us. We cannot stop now. It is our duty to humanity for every one of us to finish high scirhool and then to proceed to a higher education that will fit us for the necessities of 1 e. - - Sviuhvnt fbnuvrnmrni Student government is a new activity in the William Chrisman High School. This is the first year it was ever tried, and it has succeeded. Mr. Finley has been an advocate of student government from the first, but it is not the p1'incipal's place to inaugurate government, it must come from the students. About the middle of the first semester a petition was circulated and signed by a great number of students. But about this time, several things happened which caused Mr. Finley to believe the school was not ready for student government, so the matter was dropped for atime. Finally the seniors, during the last semester, took up student government in earnest. In their class meeting they voted to support it one hundred per cent, so a member was appointed to bring student government before the assembly. After two or three days' discussion, a motion to adopt student government' was carried almost unanimously. The method of carrying this into effect was left to the Student Council. Accord- ingly, the president, Morris Filson, appointed a committee of one boy and one girl from each class to draft a constitution. The constitution which they drew up was duly ratified by the council and finally by the student bddy. On March 30, a nominating convention was held, and on April 7-the election occurred. Since then other ohicers have been appointed by the president and senato r have been elected by .each of the classes, so th t t d V - , tb Q I v a a s u ent goveinment, k Republic, is now in full operating condition in the William Chrisman Higl1ngEl3,0aiS the V21 IH , w '1 ,ff X -TEX 'Jw -bm Xp N 5 X WT QW A6111 ' Mu WWW 1 M W MkMjjq X f WI N f X J :44 E q Q1Z M.. f ' ii- X a A ,.

She has been ready and willing at all times to help us in any way possible, and it is, in large part, due to this assistance that we have been able to publish The Glea1n successfully. The hours that we have spent working with you, Miss Holloway, have, indeed, been a pleasure to us and we all join in saying, with the fullest possible meaning, Thank you, for all that you have done for us and meant to us.

Now, the I v ub'ects such as English history, mathematics, science, phrase includes not ony man, s J D - ,Q ' . I 'N ' -v arts and sports, but, too, all the uplifting ideals and inspirations of administiatiye ofiicers. At William Chrisman, we receive these ideals from Mr. E. B. Street, our superintendent, and from our principal, Mr. R. B. Finley. The manner in which we speak in class, in the halls, to ou1' friends or to the stranger, leaves impressions that can never be erased, and by these impressions the people about us form their opinion. For this reason, we should use every 'opportunity to improve our English. Miss Holloway, Miss Gann, Miss Chesney, and Miss Harring- ton are helping us in every way they can by teaching English to our boys and girls. Miss Tuller, Miss Harrington, and Miss Palmer are teaching us Latin and Spanish, the languages from which ours is derived. In order for us to be good citizens and to have undying patriotism, we must study history and civics. Miss Phelps, Miss Palmer, Mr. Newman, Miss Hutchison, and Miss Erick are trying to make worthy Americans of us. Then again, we need, each day of our lives, a practical knowledge of mathematics. Some people love to solve problems, to be able to conquer a geometrical theorem. Our students get this training from Miss Janie Chiles, Miss Howard, and Mr. Elliott. - Any visitor going through the upper hall during the last semester would instantly know that a course in chemistry is offered, for odors of chemicals seem to sift through the very walls of Mr. Elliott's laboratory. Miss Miller deals with'another line of science, that of biology and physical geography. As more and more people realize the value of the msthetical subjects, this world will be a more beautiful place in which to live. Miss Sampson and Miss Dixon train our boys and girls so that they will know and will learn to love only the beautiful and harmonious surroundings- ' I We must think, too, of the students who will start out to work for themselves when they have finished their high school course. For them, William Chrisman offers manual training, cooking, sewing, teacher's training, and a business course. Mr. Morris makes cabinetmakers and lovers of beautiful furniture of our boys. He also gives them a course in mechanical drawing. The.Parent-Teacher Association has helped to add a cooking department This was entirely new in our school and we are sure that Miss Anderson has made good cooks of our girls. Miss Margaret Chiles helps us make tailored garments and gingham dresses and crowns our efforts with a course in millinery. l Our girls appreciate the course in teacher's training and we are sure thev will make successful teachers after the careful preparation Miss Potter has given them The time of Miss Hanlon has been given to the teaching of shorthand and ty e- writing.

After due deliberation a constitution designed to bring about a more perfect union, under the name of The Senior Tribe of 1922, was unanimously adopted. The chief executives chosen were Bernice Helif and Morris ZEISOYI, Wh0 Were aid-ed by a splendid corps of assistants, each chosen for his special ness. Thus grounded. on the sound principles of democracy and universal suffrage, the growth of the seniors in power and influence has been and is an inspiration to all surrounding tribes in the land of W. C. H. S. ,, A new leader waslfound in Mr. Finley, whose wisdom and tact helped perfect the union and make it effective and progres-sive. The tribe owed much to his leadership and were grateful for it. Many important questions of state have arisen and in turn have been settled in a satisfactory manner through the active cooperation of the remarkably intelligent and patriotic citizens. Among these matters of state in which the seniors led were: The 'tablishment of a paper The Gleamf' to instill greater public spirit among the es , citizens' the installation of a new style of assemblies, in which the chief characteristic was pep, the organization of the girls and boys, and debating teams were formed with Morris Filson representing the tribe in the famous Filson Brothers Debating Team. The crowning act of statesmanship was the -establishment of student government. The machine of government developed under this constitution has proved most efficient. ' ' ' th ' h ve been Universal suffrage having been incorporated in the fundamental law, eie a no vexing questions to bring discord and strife. S i ll the tribe had reached its height. They entertained the juniors and the oc a y Sedalia football boys with a masquerade. Next followed a real Weenie roast chaperoned . . t b Miss Phelps and Miss Chiles. The tribe also did their part in entertaining a Y . assembly. The histo1'y classes under Miss Phelps' direction gave a Washington pro ' ' ' ' d success. ram The senior play, Professor Pepp-,' was staged and pionounce a g - I The final edition of the Gleam was left as a record of the deeds of the -seniors of 1922. CONCLUSION Already the efects of the patient troubles of these brave adventurers are seen in the rising tide of ambition among the lower tribes in this great land, and it is con- fidently expected that the emigrant tribe, now setting forth from the land of'juniors, will fully measure up to the high standing set by the seniors of 1922, and the 1nHuence of this mighty people, tried and purified by the scorching fire of adversity, will hover as a permanent benediction above all succeeding generations of A THE TRIBE. 44 THE GLEAM s Ollaaa will We, the Senior Class of the William Chrisman High School, being in our right minds fespecially introduced for this occasionl, do hereby recognize this as our last will and testament, by which we dispose of all property, including notable character- istics, which in the days of prosperity we have accumulated in vast masses.

Their excellent work is a credit to their director, Miss Dixon. By winning' two cups at Warrensburg' they helped to make this the most successful year in the history of the Independence High School. 54 THE GLEAM 1 Erhair This year more attention has been given to debating than before and we were fortunate in having a strong team. Their arguments were forceful and their delivery was excellent. In all, they we-re accomplished debaters. When the try-outs were held, prominent speakers of the school entered. The best known were Emmett Starr, Virginia Blackburn, Mary Cochran, Clarence Erickson, Bruce Gold, and Morris and Kenneth Filson. The subject to be debated was, Resolved, That the principle of the closed shop should prevail in American industry. The negative was taken by Kenneth Filson and Bruce Gold, the affirmative by Morris Filson and Clarence Erickson. The latter were victorious. The judges named as the two best speakers the debating brothers, Morris, a senior, and Kenneth Filson, a sophomore, for the debate with Lees Summit. The time for the debate drew near and our team was working hard. The day came and, though the strength of the other team was not known, we were sure we would win. When the judges' decision was rendered, it was unanimous -for the nega- tive Independence Lees Summit contested, but the decision stood The next thing of interest to debate lover was a debate held here between Oak Grove and Buckner The decision of a previous debate was contested so hard that it was agreed to debate again, and debate on neutral territory hence the debate was held in Independence Oak Grove having a much stiongei team, so won easily Our next debate was held at I-Iigginsville, January 27 We again supported the negative The same question was debated As Higgmsville has a reputation foi debating, we were very proud to have eliminated them, especially in their home town Next came the debate with Oak Grove Both teams had been debating the nega tive and a choice had to be made We chose to have the debate here, and they had the choice of sides, and of course, chose the negative Even though oui team was at a disadvantage they put up a splendid fight In this debate we were eliminated This closed our debating season, having gained much even though we did not reach the goal the State Meet at Columbia Glhrramau Qllainn Qlluh On Novembei 15 of this year, a radio club began its existence as one of the organizations of the W C H S It has not been much before the public, but 1t has made consideiable progress and 1S now composed of sixteen live fellows who are work ing hard to promote an interest in radio and to teach the theory and operation of the radio telegraph and telephone length of one hundred and fifty meters and we hope to add more equipment next year Taking eveiythmg into consideration, the Radio Club has made as great an ad vancement as other organizations of the :school did in their first yeai 5311115111112 Eramai1r Glluh In the first semester 1921 this society was oiffamzed b f F h and Sophomoie girls Later boys were admitted to nliembershib a group 0 les man Members of the society have appealed twice in sl oit k t h bl and once befoie the Parent Teacheis Association 1 S e C es once m asqem V, Social activities included a valentine paity, held at the home of Fllen Lan ton and a picnic in the month of May The first president of the society was Nina Henderson who was a capable and enthusiastic leader I-Ier death which followed a long illness brought deep soriow to hei fiiends and especially to the members of this gioup, with whom she had been so closely associated The infiuence of her high ideals remains among the society mem beis who endeavor to cairy on the work which she began . .

Rosemary Flournoy The play was directed by Miss Fannye Hanlon, assisted by Mr. Finley and the senior sponsors, and to them the seniors .owe a great debt of gratitude. Zlnninr Flag ONE OF THE EIGHT One of the Eight, the junior play, was the crowning event in a very successful junior year. The play was sponsored by Mr. Finley and the junior sponsors and how could it have been otherwise than a success? The cast included some of the most attractive and prominent juniors who did quite skillful acting. The plot of the 'story centered around a boat race between the Bookworth College team, of which the hero was a member and a rival team. This race created a dramatic scene in the play which was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience as they heard the excited comments of the players who, presumably, were watching the racethrough a window. The story had a well-developed plot bringing in the question of what true sportmanship is. A very realistic villain nearly spoiled the plans of the splendid young hero through the aid of a hypnotist who called himself a doctor. The comedian roles were especially well played and presented many ludicrous and clever situations. The two young girls who had their romances so tangled were exceedingly charming and did some very creditable acting. The characters who played the more mature parts did excellently. The cast was as follows: ' Bab ...................................... --------------e--A---------------------------- ---------- ......Herschel Grinter Mr. Ezra Brooks ................

William Chrisman played two games before the Christmas holidays. The fu-'St was with Wentworth Military Academy, and the second with Central High School. For some reason, the boys: did not get started well and we lost both games. During the holidays practice was kept up and the team rounded into form. The boys showed the results of their training when they defeated the team from Oak Grove on the home court, 58-10, and De La Salle in Turner Hall, in Kansas City, by a score of 32-20. The Lees Summit and Libertylteamsl were the next to fall before the William Chrisman five.' The Lees Summit game was played here, and a faster or more inter- esting game was never before :seen on an Independence court. In the Liberty game both teams used the five man defense and the two teams were very evenly matched in the 'first half, but in the second the superior team work and better training of our boys showed, and we walked away with the game,'29-15. - The week following the game with Liberty, the boys made a trip to play Warrens- burg Training School and Warrensburg High School. The first, game with the training :school was an easy victory for William Chrisman, but on the following night we suf- fered the first and only conference defeat of the year by losing to Warrensburg High School, 22-21. . ' ' The Harrisonville team fell next before the Chrisman quintet. Eollowing this, William Chrisman was selected to play Kansas City, Kansas, High School in a match game in Convention Hall, as a preliminary to a game between K. C. A. C. and K. U. In a close game all the way through, Kansas City, Kansas, was beaten by one point, the score being 26-25. The next game was with Warrensburg High School, and We beat them by one point. The score was close throughout, but when the gun ended the play, the score was 30-29 in our favor. Following this game our boys Won from Lees Summit, Liberty, Warrensburg Teachers Training School, De La Salle, and Oak Grove. The games with Lees Sum- mit and De La Salle were very hard fought from beginning to end and tested the endurance of our five. In the other games, however, our opponents were completely outclassed and were easily defeated. ' After these games came the tournaments at Warrensburg and Columbia, and it is sufficient to say that we were beaten in both, though not in the Warrensburg Tourna- ment until we had the satisfaction of eliminating the only team which defeated us in the regular season. . -if 1 l l 1 x I 5 l I l l 3 Q s i 2 s 3 . l 2 is l I l I, - l l 5 'a , l l I 5 1 l 1 ll 1 : X 3 i THE GLEAM Siiiiiiiiiiiiii 2 .

Oak Grove Opponents 62 THE GLEAM Efrark 1922 Preparations for track work were started earlier than usual this year because of a match relay race between W. C. H. S. and Kansas City, Kansas, High School in Con- vention Hall. The boys had little time to train and were inexperienced, consequently K. C. K. came oi the victor. For a while, track work was allowed to slow up and full attention was given to basket ball, but with the ending of the basket ball season and the coming on of the dual meet with Lees Summit, more time and energy were given to the making of a track team. A On March 25, Coach Newman and Mr. Finley took the team to Lees Summit to 'try out its strength against the high school there, and the result was very satisfactory, as W. C. H. S. won by a large score. . The next venture in track was at 'the -invitation meet at Liberty in which all schools in Northern Missouri were invited to take part.. While we did not score any points, the work of the team showed that they had improved much since their last meet. A+ . , ' On the following day, the team went to the Warrensburg district meet but the results 'showed that a team cannot do its best on successive days. If the boys had done as well there as at Liberty we might have won the meet instead of coming in fourth. Among those that did especially well in these meets were John Giha, who won the silver medal in the mile run at Warrensburgg Frank Curtis with the shot put and discus throw, Dudley Smith at the pole vault, and Everet Elliot, in the 4.40. All of these amen, except Curtis, will be back next year and will form the nucleus of what should be the most successful track team Independence- has ever had. , There are several track meets to which W. C. H. S. will send representatives. Among these a1'e the State meet at Columbia and the Inter-state meets at Boulder, Colorado, and Wichita, Kansas. ' In addition to the regular track and field work, W. C. H. S. has taken up a new line of sport-that of wrestling and boxing. The first time W. C. H. S. was in competition in this line was against Lees Summit in the dual meet. For their first venture, our wrestlers and boxers came out exceedingly well, taking over half the points. Taking all in all, this year was one of the best that W. C. H. S. has ever had in track.
