And years slip o'er us, Heeded less than years should be, For those were happy days, That I spent, Old Pal, with thee. Sober days will come, But rnem'ries still will linger ong Your face will hold its place When from my heart all else is gone. So now, Old Friend, goodbye, For here our ways must part.

Afhlcfic Doctrine Clean playing isuwhat William Chrisman High School wants and what it gets-the ability of a boy, going out on the gridiron, or the basket-ball court, to be a true American gentleman. When a visiting team leaves Independence, whether victorious or vanquished, we wish them to be able to say that they played a good, clean, hard-fighting team. When Independence realizes how other towns consider us, then will come the fulfillment of a long-cherished dream. We will have an Athletic Field. It will be a great boom and a greater boost for Chrisman athletics than they have ever before received. It will enable us to turn out some cinder-track specialists whereas, at present, we are inadequately, if not woefully, equipped in this department of our school life. Chrisman has always had successful foot-ball and basket-ball teams and we are happy to- say that this year makes no exception, although we suffered a few defeats this year in both our major sports. Our coach, Seth Mark, is a resident of Marshall and has attended their school and the college located in the vicinity. While in college, he was rated as one of the best foot-ball menproduced in Central Missouri. We give credit where credit is due, so we wish to praise Mr. Mark for constructing a fighting foot -ball machine out of green material. The class of 1924 has been graduated,but our school spirit lingers. We, as alumni, will n every way we can and especially in their always be pulling, boosting, helping our school i particular sphere, clean sportsmanship, an Athletic Field, and a successful team. G. E. Wright 9i45GLrl9211.Q5r1S GLEHMTSb:,Q53. 45 Football . Athletics started with a rush this year. The incentive was this-we were out to beat Marshall this year When Coach Mark and Captain Ted Moor issued the call for football candldates the second day of school between forty and fifty students responded Everyone had a chance to make the team as only four letter men had returned After three weeks of practlce we met Central Hlgh of Kansas City and were beaten ig- nomlnlously 55 0 It was the worst defeat ln years for W C H S The reason was very apparent however the team was woefully llght and the veterans couldn t steady the green hands in the game But the next two weeks of practlce made a great dliference 1n the squad although it was yet far from the perfect machine that Coach Mark was str1v1ng for On September 12 we played and lost to H1gg1nSV1ll6 last year s conference champlons by a 9 7 score Playlng 1n a sea of mud our boys fought l1ke demons agamst the well coached vlsltors But the game was a revelatlon In place of the greenles of two weeks before we had eleven men fightlng as one upholdlng the honor of the old school We now sklp several chapters in our lnterestmg story and come to the afternoon of No vember 8 Marshalls team had arrived that mornlng and left 1n the evening 1n mourning W had defeated them the hardest fought game of the season had resulted 1n an 18 0 victory Gray haired young men and young women stood on the sldehnes and cheered themselves hoarse Over eleven hundred spectators went wild when Speedy Latlmer end carried the ball over the l1ne for our second touchdown early 1n the last quarter And why?

Q y Wlfthyfivi letter men back at the beginning of the season, Coach Mark, with the help if Captain Hunter, whipped his men into shape in time to play two Preseason games before t e Christmas holidays, against Northeast and Westport, both Kansas CIW hlgh .Schools-, The game with Northeast showed both teams were inexperienced. Chrisman lost this game in the last minute of play, 18 to 17. The following night Chrisman tackled WestD0T'U. and admm' istered a 30 to 24 beating. In this game Chrisman showed much better plan than in the North- east game the night before and the coming season looked bright. Practice was continued during the Christmas holidays and by the first conference game with Harrisonville on Jan. 4, the Chrisman cagers romped over the Harrisonville five with a big score. ' Chrisman suffered two defeats, her only defeats in the conference, both to Warrensburg, who later became state champions at the state tournament at Columbia. The first game with Warrensburg at 'Warrensburg cannot be talked of as a game because Chrisman was caught without defense or offense on the large college court, but the following night Warrensburg was lucky to get away with the bacon by only four points on the Chrisman court. ,This game was the hardest fought game Chrisman experienced on her own court. A Then Chrisman took five consecutive victories from Marshall, Argentine, Higginsville, Liberty and Lees Summit, but met defeat in the seventh game with Kansas City, Kansas, the 1923 National Champions. This game was played on the Convention Hall court in Kansas City as a preliminary to the Kansas University-K. C. A. C. game. ' Eight straight games were next added to Chrisman's credit. The last four of these games were played at the Missouri Valley College Invitation Basket-Ball Tournament held Feb. 22-23. The four games won at the Missouri Valley College tourney should be considered as the peak of Chrisman's success. The teams played and beaten at this tourney were Alma, Lexing- ton, Sedalia, and Warrensburg. A The first game with Alma was played at 3 o'clock in the afternoon of Friday, Feb. 22. This game Chrisman won with ease, all her reserves playing the last half. The second game with Lexington at 8 P. M. also was a one sided affair with Chrisman scoring at will and all reserves being used. A The third game played with Sedalia was the hardest fought game of the tournament, but Chrisman managed to keep two points in the lead up to the last minute of play, then forged ahead with a free throw and field goal making a final score of 20-15. The fourthg and final game of the tournament, was played with our bitterest rival, War- rensburg High School, who had administered our two only conference defeats. The game see- ' sawed back and forth and was not cinched until the final whistle when Chrisman emerged winner, 25-19. The teams received individual gold medals, and two beautiful loving cups as the championship prizes of the tournament. Q -The following week after the Marshall triumph Chrisman went down to her first defeat in nine games to Argentine on the Argentine court in a very rough conflict which did not show up the good play of either team. Chrisman went to the Warrensburg Teachers District Tournament The On March 7th, first game with Drexel, Chrisman won easily. The following game was played with-a strong team from Warsaw, Mo., which defeated us 22-19. - This tournament was won by Windsor, Mo., a strong tea wh d f t d W High School in the finals- m 0 e ea e mensburg The following week because of illness of Captain Hunter, Chrisman was unable to be represented at the state tournament at Columbia under the aus ic f M' ' ' ' p es So this ended the 1924 basket-ball season which was a success in many liwvaydssourl Umversltyi A th ' mong e outstanding features of the season was th W ld' R i ' A Chrisman cagers in the defeat of Marshall High Schoolei or iii 'ecord established by the l - ' - cldent showed the type of defense the 1924 team was capablle dlfqofferliiiag game 40 0.

II I 'IIII ggueiererwssmg Track Meets This Year The William Chrisman track team journeyed to Kansas City, Kansas Friday April 12 to compete with our rival school in the annual meet. Our boys, though ybung and inexperi. ienced, having trained faithfully and with a grim determination to give their best to the school'si good name, prepared, packed their grips, and set forth in cars to fight and acquire the exper- ience gained in a real contest. The events as run were as enumerated below: 50 yard dash-run by Crumpler and White. Won by K. C. K. 100 yard dash-run by Crumpler and White. Won by K. C. K. 220 yard dash-run by Crumpler. Crumpler stepped right away from his opponents. 440 dash was run by Mitchell. Won by K. C. K. 880 yard dash-was run by Brooks and Reich. Reich won with Brooks second. One mile-run by Brooks. Won by K. C. K. Shot put-Ballenger and Moor entered. Won by K. C. K. ' , Discus-Ballenger and Moor entered. Won by Ballenger at a distance of 95 feet 8 in. High jump-Tudor entered. K. C. K. won. H Broad jump-Moor and Ballenger. Won by K. C. K. Pole Vault-Downey, Seigfried and Dooley entered. Won by K. C. K. Relay-Run by Dodson, White, Daniels and Crumpler. 'Won by K. C. K. Perhaps one of the most humorous of events happened to our boys in this meet. Crump- ler, running fourth on the relay received the stick about 75 yards behind his opponents. At the end of the finish spurt, Crumpler, running in true form, had decreased the lead by more than half. Principal Rice of K. C. K. approaching Crumpler, patted him sympathetically on the back and said, Never mind, young fellow, he never gained an inch on you. I The following week was filled with practice and drilling on the part of the team members. Mistakes made before were adjusted and by the time Friday, the 18th, rolled around, the team felt prepared to go to the Liberty Meet. About twenty teams were entered in this meet and the competition ranged highly. Liberty High School outpointed her opponents and won the meet. It was surely a worthwhile.sight. Here were gathered the speediest runners of the- various schools seeking individual honors for themselves and cups for their school, In the 100 yard dash, Wilcox, the fast sprinter from Liberty, won easily. In the 220 yard dash, Wilcox, again took first place for Liberty. - In the 440 yard dash, El Dorado Springs came to the front and snatched the honors. In 880 yard dash, El Dorado Springs was again the victor. In the mile El Dorado Springs was once more the victor, taking the race in true form. The pole vault was won by Harrisonville. In the discus, Liberty was the winner. The low and high hurdles were won by Liberty with El Dorado Springs in second place. The relays were won by Liberty and Higginsville. The following Saturday, April 26, the track team from William Chrisman embarked on its third enterprise: the Warrensburg meet. Slater won this meet. .F The 100 yard dash was won by Johnston of Slater with Crumpler a close second. The 220 was won by Johnston of Slater. D I ' Slater, also took the 440, 880 and the discus. Shelton from Harrlsonville' being second. In the low hurdles, Seigfried placed in the finals but lost. U ' Our relay team comprised of White, Crumpler, Daniels and Reich came out third. Younker, in the high jump, won the first place for Sedalia. The pole vault was won by Sedalia with Harrisonville second. ' .

I The Season commffllces and 9- happy, eager group of boys, each supremely confident in his own prowess and ability, meet on the field, in the gym or on the track. Determination is written on the countenance of each, and all the manly instincts are aroused. All are on an equal basis fighting for the honor of the school and the glory of the fray. But alas, this cannot last. After the initial practice for the squad, silently they line up before the coach and hesi- tantly seat themselves, and with beating heart and questioning eyes, with a mute ,appeal in them wait for the words which are to make their dreams a realization or a crushing blow to their fondest hopes. Slowly the coach's roving eyes pass over the group and he reads the slip of names before him. The thrill that comes from appearing in the school uniform, the supreme determination to make good can only be realized by a participant. But all cannot wear the uniform, some must give their all on the practice field with only the rare signs of approval given them by the coach, either in word or action, for encouragement. What of them? They are the manliest and best of all the boys. It is easy to practice four days a week when one realizes the the fifth will give him the chance to appear as the school's representative. But it takes a far greater man to practice the four, help keep the team in fine trim and then sit through the game on the substitute bench and watch through anticipating eyes the work of his comrades. Be- cause a boy is on the sub list is no sign that he is not an equal to the regularsg perchance he is better than some regulars-but is too young, and lacks the experience to fill-the veterans' shoes. Again he may have a slight injury or a weakness that interferes with his playing. But he realizes that each game and each practice offers a chance for his success. Thus plodding along, sometimes blue, again very happy, the sub continues his grill. Let us give appreciation, when it is earned, and make the life of a sub happy, for one must remember that perchance next year or in a future year they will be our representatives. An encouraging nod, a pat of encouragement will go a long, long way toward co-operation. Learn to think not only of the boys in the lime-light but also of the one sitting on the bench 3 then athletics will face a boom .that has never before been equaled.

The corn- petition that thus ensues each year in the separate contests improves our school and places it on a higher educational level. The debate contests are absorbingly interesting to all who hear them: but if one stops to think of the amount of study that each contestant puts on his arguments, and the practice' that has given him the power to' address his audience with such ease, one wonders if he is truly appreciated. The youth of today is learning to use his brains by the absorbing study of some of the knottiest problems of our nation. Thus, the citizens of tomorrow will be more capable to vote, and to govern the affairs of their city or state with a greater amount of intelligence. Extemporaneous speaking is one of the many contests at Liberty and considerable knowl- edge is needed to compete, each contestant must first have a wide acquaintance with the cur- rent topics of the day, and be ready to speak at a few moments notice on anyone of them. This contest compels rapid thought and arrangement of ideas. In the declamation contest there is an opportunity to portray one's power of emotional acting and speaking. It is interesting to notice the wide variety of subjects that appeal to the individual contestants, and their ability to interpret their pieces properly. This field of activity is one of the most interesting of all and takes years of study and practice before one can appear in front of a critical audience to compete in any contest. There are manyestudentsin every school who, though unable to express their thoughts verbally, can write with singular power and ability. To these students the opportunity is offered, to compete in the essay contest. Some of the most forceful messages and brilliant ideas have had their origin in an essay. K Only a few take part in the Latin contests and they necessitate years of study to compete in with any amount of success. Nevertheless, those who do, represent the serious minded students, who work hard and patiently, bent on mastering the intricacies of each lesson. These students make the best citizens by learning to keep to one task until the finish. Those who try out in the spelling contest have, by study and close observation, enlarged their speaking vocabulary, and mastered the difficulties of English spelling. This contest develops accuracy and a love of fairness in each student and trains them especially for the com- mercial world. The shorthand and typewriting contest is another which develops in each student the attributes of accuracy and speed, most essential to any business. All these contests create in any school, which competes in them, the spirit of competition. And competition in a school causes better work to be done, and the school ri t h' h place. Work and the world works with you, shirk and you shirk alone. ses 0 a lg er K Avis Smith 335169 2 4:5125 'lEgGL,EAi ns lvlmbbaigj Lzfcrary Contestants William fr-:well earlaafgslyliai' Wiliam Jewell College at Liberty holds contests along literary lines.'

Extemporaneous Speaking ' Kenneth Filson, the boy's representative in extemporaneous speaking, won first place at Liberty. He is an excellent speaker as the students can testify because of his past four years work along this line. Pearl Bobier won first place among the girls in extemporaneous speaking. Her vigorous clear way of speaking did much to win for her this honor. She also ranked among the first in the late constitutional oratorical contest. Essay Kenneth Filson again distinguished himself and won first place in the essay contest. He has made his last year at Chrisman one of much success. C.M.S.TC Warrensburg also has annual contests in literary pursuits. They take place at Central Missouri State Teacher's College near the end of each school year. Chrisman distinguished herself this year by winning six first places and three seconds in these contests. Debate Pearl Bobier was Chrisman's candidate for honors in debate. She won second place in debate and carried off most of the other honors. Miss,Bobier has proved exceptionally brilliant along scholastic lines and is considered one of Chrisman's best students.

The first debate of this school year took place at Independence between C. H. S. and Liberty, December 14. Virgil Julian and Bruce Gold represented Chrisman with such suc- cess that they carried away the honors. Con Withers and Ross Adams represented Liberty on the affirmative' side of the question. P. Casper Harvey of William Jewell College, acted as judge of the contest. Chrisman was distinguished by the delivery of her team. ' Lee's Summit The Chrisman debaters won their second debate, January 17, from Lee's Summit at Lee's Summit by a two to one decision. E Pearl Bobier and Virgil Julian represented Chrisman on the negative side, while Bruce Cook and Margaret Hostetter represented Lee's Summit High School on the affirmative. The judges were Professor Howard of William Jewell College, and Professors Parker and Calvert of Warrensburg. Chrisman won this debate mostly by strategy and delivery. Higginsville Higginsville High School won the decision in debate over William Chrisman, February 7, by a two to one vote of the judges.

This department is under the leadership of Miss Maytie Simmons. In the different classes, sight singing, harmony, appreciation and history of music are taught. They take up a study of the elements and principles along with the development of the different branches of music. The music department is a valuable asset to any schoolg it develops in a student a love of good music, and teaches him to understand and appreciate the work of a great composer. Sight singing is a help to those students who play instruments. It cultivates in them the ability to read rapidly and accurately. 'Harmony is the groundwork of all good music, without harmony music cannot be enjoyed. Harmony is also a principle if life, to be considered happy and friendly, one must live a harmonious life with one's fellow emgs. , - The work of the music department reached a fitting climax when the operetta, The Merry Milkmaids, was given. The spice and humor of this play gained many expressions of apprecia- tion from outsiders. The work of Margaret Gard, Kenneth Harrington and Allen Russell deserves special mention. Their services during this school year have been solicited more than once for en- tertainments and assemblies. It can be said, literally, that their voices have carried from coast to coast , as they have sung at the broadcasting station, KFIX, of the L. D. S. Church. 'The various quartets and the Girls' Glee Club have also furnished our school with some excel- lent programs. At the same time, special credit should be given to the orchestra for the part it played in making a success of the plays and entertainments of this school year. Miss Simmons deserves credit for her untiring work along this line. Frank Gilbert with his saxaphone, Neville Cool with his trumpet, andGeorge Miller at the piano made a trio worthy -Of mention. Not only is the music department interested in music, but the Journalism Class, most .prosaic of institutions, has a Blue Pencil Trio, which is adept to playing jazz. The Athen- ian boys, not to be outdone along musical lines, produced the Jazz-O-Paters , veritable fathers -of jazz, and the Athenian Ragtime Trio. The G. S. B.'s have an orchestra for more serious music. ' Other musical talent has been brought to our school by the separate societies. Miss Lillian Green, Mr. Ammon Fry, and Mrs. Pauline Becker Etzenhouser, all accomplished mu- sicians, have entertained the students many times. On the whole this has been a very successful year in music. This department deserves in the future every encouragement. Not only will it become the most enjoyable Phase Of school life, but it will be of great value to those who wish a musical education.

Neville Cool Flern Cox Margaret Gard Alden Russel A Musuic- Coniesfants A Chrisman has a right to be proud of her excellent music department. It has distinguished itself in both the Liberty and Warrensburg contests, winning three cups. Miss Simmons, music supervisor, is to be congratulated on its success, due to her untiring eiforts. ' - Liberty - A George Miller,Chrismansfavorite pianistfwalkediaway with a first prize for a piano. solo. His bored indiiference to praise was a source of admiration to other Would-be pianists. In the voal solo contest, Margaret Gard won first. She has entertained the students many times in assemblies, and they can appreciate the honor bestowed on her. Chrisman's mixed, quartett, composed of Margaret Gard, Fern Cox, Alden Russell and Neville Cool, won first at Liberty. This quartett is made up of Chrisman's best music talent, who have especially deserved this honor. Warrensburg At Warrensburg there is keener competition because of the greater number of contestants entering each event. Chrisman did not win as many honors in music here as she did in the- literary events, but nevertheless one first place cup and one second place cup. The mixed quartett again won first place in the contests. Their success has grown proverb-- ial. I ' The high school orchestra won second place and a cup. The members of the orchestra cer- tainly deserved every honor given to it. The girls' quartett, composed of Margaret Gard, Fern Cox, Eleanor Werner and Catherine Halleran, went' to Warrensburg and made the finals, but were eliminated. The music department has received a full quota of honors this year and is indeed a credit to the high school. E .

Possibly it was harder for them than for us, but every alumfllv who hiflped 111 any way to publish an annual knows all its crooks and turns. The others have' been its loyal supporters. For that reason we are able to publish a book that has grown in size, but not in the main idea. Follow the Gleam remains the same. I We have tried to get in communication with people in all walks of l1fe who were- graduated from a number of different classes. So the annual which our class started still continues, and under the same name! I .re- member the afternoon of its christening. The editorial. staff, consisting of the editor-in-chief, Charlie Ross, the business manager, Tasker Taylor, Mary Womack, and myself, were holding an informal meeting in the Latin room. Charlie, as chairman, was draped over the end of the teacher's desk, and the rest of us were standing round. Several suggestions for a name for the paper had been oifered, some bizarre, some conventional, but none had received ap- proval. Suddenly Charlie sprang to the floor with the exclamation: I have it! Let us call it The Gleam! I One conscientious objector pointed out that the name suggested might sound conceited, as seeming to imply that the paper contained sudticient wisdom to guide us for the rest of- our lives. Charlie generously assented to this criticism, and added, of course it wouldn't do. But another member came to the defense of The G1eam , saying that it need not mean con- ceit, but rather might suggest our adherence to the spirit of Tennyson's poem. With this reservation, the name was adopted unanimously by the staff. And you have planned to make the '24 issue a sort of alumni reunion, and wish to know about our present work and past experiences! That is certainly very kind of you. The difficulty is, that one hesitates to talk about either one's superficial experiences or the regions which one has visited in following Tennyson's Gleam. And even if one did tell you of the stretches of dusty road, the foot-hills, the jagged mountains, the sudden precipices, and the- peaceful valleys, you would not understand until you had yourselves Visited themg and then you would not need to be told. H But this much I can tell you, to encourage you as you look forward, that two things of which I learned in high school, namely perennial growth and friendship that endures, have proved to be not an illusion, but real God's -countryg and further, that the Gleam has lighted for me regions of which, at that time, I did not even dream. Now I must take up my Yosemite stick and 'be going, I wish to explore a region which I glimpsed some time ago, where alabaster cities gleam, undimmed by human tears. Look -can you not see it, beyond those factory smoke-stacks? Thank you for the reunion. I shall hope to meet you again, some day, in one of those lands of the horizon. Cordially, . Laura M.

If you can tell me through the Gleam about the Class of 1901, I shall be indeed grateful. Sincerely yours, I Charles S. Ross Here I have been spending several nights recently dreaming of the good old High School days in Independence and now there is that letter from you asking for a contribution to this year's annual. Is it thot-transference or too much supper? Anyhow with Independence very clear in mind-even to the clothes which some of my schoolmates and teachers wore-and being anxious to know something more up-to-date about these folks, I am sending you a note about myself. After those preliminaries, such as being born on a certain date and attending Indepen- dence High School, I went to Old Mizzou where I majored in Sociology and minored in Biologi- cal Science. Then, like the rest of the ambitious young, I went galavanting off to New York to train for Social worker and incidentally to get a great many other experiences, such as, following the different colored lines in Grand Central, and living up in the air, literally and figuratively. When those days were done I returned to Missouri, specifically speaking, to St. Louis, where I took a position as Family Case Worker, first doing field work, and later training Students from the Missouri School of Social Economy. At the present time my brother and I are here in Colorado imbibing the beauties of the mountains, and I for one, am always wishing I were a bit bigger so that I could hold more. Always I have .thot that it would be ine some day to have an opportunity to read a great many of those things one has no time for while leading a strenuous life in the city or even while going to school. With the peace and quiet that surrounds one here, one can read, read, to one's heart's content-almost! Instead of writing this I should prefer to shake hands with my old friends and teachers, tell them that my life has been richer and fuller because of having known them, and then have a long talk and find out what their experiences have been. Since things of that sort are imp0SSib1e,.I am hoping that you can crowd in a great many letters and let us at least get a glimpse of each other. Here is wishing you and your class the very best! .

Just when we thought we were swallowed by the many 173551118 Yearsgeii taken seats so far back that the rows in front had forgotten we were back there, we are g given the comrades call and are answering with gladness in our hearts.

Now we P g H I I , are given this new channel of communication, this opportunity to greet each other throglgh the medium of this department of the Gleam , the Alumni . As one of the many mem ers of this organization, I say heartily for all of you that We are highly pleased and proud to be remembered by this class of '24, Back in eighteen ninety-nine my class of fifteen happy boys and girls dedicated the new high school, now known as the junior high school building, by giving our commencement exercises in the auditorium. Since then many hundreds of graduates have gone from its doors and from the doors of the new Chrisman High, everyone of whom are members of this alumni, and it is to them and for them I am expressing these sentiments of fellowship. Personally, I am still in the ranks of the much alive, possess a considerable amount of pep, am as much a school advocate as ever, and have given of myself to the cause through the personalities of a son and a daughter. Many others of you alumni have seen your children graduate from our own school and become members of an alumni organization with their own parents. It is our duty to stand by the school and teach our children the appreciation of education. Knowledge is power . Our boys and girls are the future citizens among whom powerful men and women are in the making. And now, Alumni, as I conclude this message to you let us all join into giving a resounding cheer to the school, its pupils, and especially its teachers. Yours truly, Agnes V. Farrow Daniel As one of the alumni to whom you have dedicated the 1924 Gleam, I feel constrained to write the letter you request, although I frankly confess I am at a loss to know what to writs. Perhaps some of my former students will be most interested in the fact that I am busy writing text-books. ' The University High School of the University of Chicago is a laboratory school in which new methods of teaching are worked out. I find the work intensely interesting. Last year together with the head of our English department, I wrote two books which are receiving their finishing touches now. Onetis anthology of world literature Cabout 700 pagesj divided into four sections-the drama, the epic, the essay, and the lyric. This is designed for use in either junior or senior classes. The other book is a teacher's manual in which we explain not 0111 our theory of teaching but also the details of each day's Work as it is carried on in our classed, Macmillan will publish these books sometime this summer.

This job did not last long, because the paper soon closed out. My next attempt was a night job with the old Independence Electric Light Company. This coal- heaving job with a salary of 325.00 per month did not appeal to me, so I soon quit this and took a position with the Badger Lumber Company. ' In April 1908 Mr. Ben Sturges, Mr. F. B. Connet, and myself organized and incorporated the Connet-Sturges Lumber Company and opened a new lumber firm in Kansas City, Kansas. In January 1911 the M. R. Smith Lumber Company was organized, with myself as man- ager, which position I have since held. I have lived in Kansas City, Kansas since May, 1902. I should be very glad to hear from any of the students or any of the folks who remember me. Guy C. MCC arroll '98 Your alumni editor has written me that the 1924 Gleam is to be dedicated to the alumni of William Chrisman and has asked that I as one of the members of a past class of our High School write a letter to be published in the Gleam. It is an honor to the old Grads of the High School to have the annual dedicated to them .and such an honor will be well received and long remembered. Writing again for the Gleam brings back old memories of High School days-happy days, boresome days! Unpleasant mem- ories now are few for time has mellowed our thoughts, leaving only, outstanding, thoughts of pleasant instances. Time goes swiftly, and so to the graduating class it will but seem a short while until active contact with the school, its students and activities will become less familiar. The school is rich in history and tradition and so to you, as students of a graduating class who will quickly pass on into the history and tradition of this, our school, a charge is given. May your future be bright, happy and prosperous, and may you tread the path of life ever remembering the ideals and worthy traditions of our school that they might be preserved and your memory honored. ' Perhaps the editor of this department expected a regime of personal history when she wrote to meg yet I think such a history of little importance. I would rather tell you things of more import. If the class of 1918 were to have a class meeting and vote you the fund of then' -'experience and take from it the most valuable lesson they have learned since their graduation from highschool, it would be the realization that we cannot be too well prepared. Our.high school graduation does not mark the end of our preparation, but its beginning. The building which we erect and call life can be no stronger than the foundation. ' g We who have gone on before have not lost sight of our school and we still deem 1t'a pleas- ure to associate with the present students. We with you rejoice in the .victories and are sor- rowed by our school's defeats. We too realize that victories cannot come without our share of . de- feats. This is true not only of school activities and athletic contests, but true lt IS Ofllfe S activities and contests, so be not discouraged when first defeats are met but let memory .of the pep and enthusiasm which carried our school to victory inspire us to meet with a smile defeat and build upon that defeat the victory to be gained.

First Semester Second Semester Pres.-Herbert Records J0hYf McDonald Vice-Pres.-Nobler Crumpler Louis Charlton Secy.-George Wright Arthur O Leary Treas.-Moss Compton Moss Compton Critic-Miss Phelps There were no literary societies in the William Chrisman High School until September 21, 1919, when the George S. Bryant Society came into existence, followed shortly afterwards by the Nautilus in the year '20 and the Athenian in '21. The society was named in honor of Prof. George S. Bryant, who, for many years was principal of the Independence High School. The aims of the society are to develop leadership, to give practice in the art of debating and extemporaneous speaking, to promote the mutual benefit of its members, and to exercise an uplifting infiuence in the school and community The society this year consists of fift -one - Y members. Our president for the first semester was Herbert Records and for the second se- mester, John Wyatt McDonald. Our programs this year for the most part have been devoted to the study of the earlyhistory of Independence, Jackson County, State of Missouri Jack son County court and the city council. Sessions of the last two have been acted in our meet- ings and were thoroughly enjoyed by the society.

It chose its name from .Oliver Wendell Holmes' Chambered Nautilus , and uses the last stanza which begins, Build thee more stately mansions, O my Soul , as its motto. It has had four different sponsors since its organization: Miss Helen Barr, who is in Northeast High School now Misses Helen Spencer and Louise Chesney, both of Foo Chow, China, and at present, Miss Bess E. Howard, math. teacher. In the life of the society it has established a custom of con- tributions for the poor at Thanksgiving and Christmas. All this work is planned and carried out by the girls. The school year is divided up into sections so the programs may be more unified. During one quarter debates are studied, then comes the study of musicians, artists and short story writers and their works. At the beginning of the second semester it was de- cided that every society would be given a chance to appear in assembly in turn. The Nau- tilus girls did their share. Another unique thing done by them was to entertain its alumnae, at the home of Mary Hardin, with a George Washington party.

Helen Morlan Mariamne DFOWI1 Sec.-Helen Cole Martha Calloway Treas.-Virginia Lewis Dorothy Ch0P11I1 Critic-Miss Meinhoffer The As-You-Like-It Society was founded in the school year of 1919-1920. Some of the most prominent charter members were: Mason Ware Berry, who was the first president, Helen Agee, Bernice Helff, Frances Hulse, Pauline Jones, Persis Perry, Josephine Ragland and Elizabeth Whaley. A society .founded by line young ladies like these is bound to be one of the highest ideals. We stand for the right and good not only of ourselves but of our school. For the first two years this was a literary society. Then, there being no dramatic club in school and for other reasons, it was changed to a dramatic club, as it is now. The plan of work is prac- tically the same as it was when it was founded. The girls in the society are divided into groups with a leader for each group. Each group selects a play and puts it on before the society. We had quite a few nice plays of this kind this year. Every few years a study is made of Shakes- ,peare's As You Like It. This year the As-You-Like-It's have been one of the societies who give assembly programs in turn. We have done h so w enever requested. Quite a few new members were taken in at the beginning of the year. Later a party with initiation was given to the new members by the old ones. We have made a minor amendment to our constitu- tion, and a formal initiation has bee ' n permanently established. We have been accustomed to giving an annual play, but on account of so many other activities we could not have it this spring. However, we have chosen one for next fall and i t d t ' ' n en o give it then. We have been working on a society song which we hope to have by next year The As You Like It Societ . ' ' ' ' Y combines work and play in such a degree that it is a pleasure to all its members. - Martha B.

C. Elliott, in October, 1920, and since sponsored by Mrs. Osla Sehrt Jones, Miss Regna Gann, Mr. J. N. Jordan, and Miss Henrietta Hudspeth, has only attempted to accomplish its great task of effecting good will and friendship between all the classes and organizations, of promoting the general interest in de- bating, declamation, public speaking, dramatization, and music, of installing better school Spirit: and of co-operating with the principal, faculty, and student body in every worthy un- dertaking. On October 12, 1923, the Athenian Literary Society gave an entertainment, Hot Dog , for the benefit of the Athletic-Field Fund. It proved' highly successful, and more than a hundred dollars was cleared. ' It has always been the dream of everyone that all the societies might get together and become better acquainted, therefore, the Athenians proposed and sponsored-a mixer on Octo- ber 26. s , The Old Gang , a play written by Alden Russell, was presented at the High School on February 22 undef the auspices of the Anti-Cigarette League.

The society was organized by Josephine Smith, Nora Giha, Elizabeth Lloyd and Mercides Isham in 1921 with Miss Anderson and Miss Frick acting as sponsors. The society, though very young, participated in the school entertainments. They gave a one-act comedy, The Old Maid, which every one enjoyed. The following year was a great success. All the girls attending the society will always remember the society activities as the happiest part of their school life. This year the society has reconstructed its organization. A new constitution has been made restricting the membership only to those who make M or above. The present constitution provides for an annual play each November and an annual spring party. It is the intention of the society to help the school, as stated in our motto: Be willing to assist when assistance is needed, and work for the betterment of the School. 1 A Mary- Petterson Qsn19Q4ansi Arzsfonian First Semester Second Semester Pres.-Bertie Gore Dorothy De Tray Vice-Pres.-Dorothy De Tray Vivian Nunn ,Secy.-Lucille Wolf Rosamond Filson Treas.-Iris Burdick Fay Lindsay Art Editor-Ada Moore Helen L.

Throughout the school year we have stressed the mental and social phases of life as we have planned our programs and tried to prepare the girls in our society to take their places in the world as women of tomorrow. A freshmen mixer was given early in the year for the purpose of giving the freshmen girls a chance to become better acquainted with the upper- classmen. Our programs have been varied, including the study of parliamentary law, musical artists and famous operas, and the study of etiquette. Two programs were given in assembly, the first a Hallowe'en program by school talent and the second a musical one presented by alumni of our school. The crowning feature of our school year was our free play, Rose- mary , which was the first open house play to which the public was invited to be present in our school. The success of our work this year we owe largely to our sponsor, Miss Mary Martha Miller, because of her inspiring induence and never-tiring effort.

Clio, one of the muses, the goddess of history, was the heroine chosen by the' girls to name their society after. As a motto they adopted Esse quam videri. The flower was the violet because of its modesty. The colors are lavender and white. Their chief aim was to bring about a better school spirit, to cultivate a closer comradeship among the girls who should belong, to furnish an opportunity for developing of leadership and to make school life still more a benefit and pleasure. ' With the coming of the fall of '23 the crisis arrived and it was time to decide h th h w e er t e society was to withstand the loss of members during the summer and progress as a successful tt t ' a emp or give up as a failure. By hard work on the part of the sponsors and members, the perils were overcome and the society launched forth on another succe f l ss u year. This year was even more 'profitable than the last to the girls and many delightful programs' and parties made the work seem lighter. During the first part of the year etiquette was studied and later the study of Greek myths was taken up. Some of the high lights were the-parties. First came the Hallowe'en party at Marjorie Blackburn's, where the new members were initiated, and the Valentine party at Mildred Jas- per's, and a birthday party for Irene Sh l u tz at herlhome. The Valentine program was a sue-- cess and th l ' e p ay, Oysters , was another example of the good work.

A few of the competent people of the Senior Class were on the Annual Gleam Staff of 1923i24. Herbert Records was elected by the Seniors as editor-in-chief. The Gleam speaks for him and tells all its readers that he knows his business and did what was expected of him. Jack Gardner was his most able assistant. What Herbert could not do for the production of the book, Jack was right there to do it for him. No one has any idea of the work connected with the office of business manager. If they think they do just ask Moss Compton. He has spent many weary hours buried in his books. But where money is concerned Moss always comes out ahead. He and Bruce Gold, his assist- ant put the Gleam on an unshakable financial basis. - ' The art work was under the supervision of James Edward Spencer and Anna Kreeger, his assistant. The other members were appointed by the editor, his assistant and Miss Meinhoffer, critic. It is very necessary that an account of the athletics be kept and recorded. George Wright with the assistance of Ray Wrigley took charge of this department and worked it up in fine shape. Sybil Burrus exerted every effort to get material from former students for the . . . . . h alumni section This was particularly important in that the Annual is dedicated to those W o had Followed.the Gleam . She also had charge of the organizations. Agnes Adams ran down ' d th book on Classes and Mary and recorded all the social events. Clarice Gillen organize e , Agee was overseer of the introduction and contests at Warrensburg and Liberty, while Harold Morgan is responsible for so many of our subscribers dying from laughing too hard.

' The year of1923-24 witnessed the first attempt of the school to put out a real school news- paper. A class in Journalism was inaugurated with Miss Lucille Meinhoffer, an University of Missouri graduate, as instructor. The new constitution of the high school provided for a Gleam Editor as one ofthe execu- tive offlcers of the student body. One morning early in September the assembly was opened for business and Kenneth Filson was nominated for editor. A week later the school was pleased to learn that he had been elected by a large majority. Editor Filson immediately appointed a capable staff who began work on the first edition. The school realized that it had made a wise choice when the first number came out fifteen days later. The staff was composed of some of the most talented in school, pupils who excelled in scholastic work and literary efforts. The new editor proved his capability when he ap- pointed Morris ,Turner, a Junior, his assistant. Sports were handled by Edwin Ramsey, the Junior class wit, and the only fellow in school who knew how many stitches there ' f b ll ' was 1n a oot a . Sybil Burrus and Agnes Adams were the alumni and society editors re- sepectively, and what Sybil didn't know about the boy or girl whogradu ated twent y years ago wouldn't be worth knowing. Agnes had the same infallible journalistic characteristic. She k . . new just how many times Mary X powdered her nose at the recent hop Geor e Wri ht - g g was appointed exchange editor and he received many high school papers from various schools throughout the United States which he reported to be almost as good as our little paper.

While Kenneth Filson was editor six issues were published, each succeeding one being a little better and taking on the look of a real newspaper. Due to the fact that a high executive student officer could not hold oflice for more than one semester the mid-year elections made George Ellis Wright the editor for the remainder -of the term. He retained nearly all the first semester stall, making only two changes, oneof which Was.to appoint John W. McDonald as associate editor. The second semester started with the basketball season and the bi-monthly staff recorded with great pleasure the sixteen victories of the team during the following six weeks. One change in the Gleam was made and it was for the better. The news departments were assigned definite places and a well balanced paper was the result. - On the twenty-ninth of April the girls put out an issue with the consent of the regular Gleam staff. Sybil Burrus was it editor and Pearl Bobier its business manager and because we desire to give credit where credit is due we must compliment the girls on the manner in which they put their undertaking across. Two weeks later the Sophomore class put out an issue which featured their inheritance, the Athletic Field Fund, and that the Sophomores, now being quite intelligent, felt that they t view the stave from the other wing then occupied by the J uniors. mus D And that was the last of the bi-weekly Gleams of the year.

Early in the fall of 1922 the Junior class at the suggestion of Mr. Finley assumed the d th t a committee for sponsorship of the proposition of an athletic field. It was arrange a raising funds shouldbe appointed. The first committee was John McDonald Herbert Records Frederick Evans. It was estimated that the proposed field would cost five thousand dollars. A plan of the field was made and divided into fifty squares each square representing one hundred dollars. The first square was painted by the Junior class which donated eighty dollars and the George S. Bryant Literary Society who gave the remaining twenty. From this start the fund grew apace and at the end of the year approximately thirteen hundred dollars had been secured. , At the beginning of the year 1923 a second committee was appointed consisting of Jack Gardner Herbert Records Mildred Gossett Mary Agee. Bruce Gold, Arthur O'Leary, Fay McGraw, and Frank Brown. This committee swelled- the fund to about fifteen hundred dollars. The work of securing the remainder of the five thousand dollars has been turned over to the class of '26, and the graduating class feels confident,,that with their unbounded enthusiasm, and their desire to work for the school, that they will accomplish the desired end. 84 'J T ,Agnes Adams, Sybil Burrus, Jack Gardner, Robert Sullivan, Kenneth Harrlngt on and I V '7 1 X I7 I 47 f ' ff f.e1fe'5ffef-H fff 7 - I TRACK I i-I I T 1- X r f'Ob7'5fLlLL F7120 X x jar gl Q Q 7 . l e:.ff:f-mess X 1 CHPXSXWAXV fl7?!LE77C FXELD- I ' , npwjffrnr Above cut was made when only 200 dollars were in the fund.

Arthur Oieaiji H5313 the lines in a very good manner. Mrs. Wheeler, a step-mother to Bobby and Cora, felt she had just cause for jealousy in .as much as Miss Penny, the governess found it necessay to hold frequent consultations with Mr. Wheeler about Cora and her training. Mrs. Wheeler's part was well acted by Mariamna Drown. ' V Miss Penny, the quiet little governess, was played by Margaret Louise Ott, and she put much of her personality into the part. She finds herself in a very diflicult position and de- cides to leave, but Clarence the hero saves the situation. Clarence, the ex-soldier, was the principal character and the part was well played by Henry Moriarity. Clarence, while waiting for an interview with Mr. Wheeler, witnesses a regular family row, and Bobby and Cora put him wise to all he doesn't know. So Mr. Wheeler has to hire him to keep the affairs in the family. Clarence was found to be quite competent, being able to do anything from driving mules without swearing to tuning pianos. He was accepted without question by the entire fanzily, to him they turned for advice on all their domestic and love affairs. Cora, who was infatuated with Hubert Stem, played by Robert Crute, gives him the cold shoulder so to speak, and becomes Clarence's ardent admirer. From him she learns something of his experiences, how he has been wounded in the liver at target practice, and circumstances preventing his returning to his old position, he is forced to look for work. Her deep sympathy and- tender attitude afford a great deal of amusement. 7 Clarences' first appearance in civilian clothes drew many an admiring glance from the audience, especially the feminine portion. This tall good looking young man was indeed a -contrast to the rather down at the heel appearance of the ex-soldier. Equally impressed was Cora, who it seems could not see enough of him. Clarence accepts her as he would a sister, but becomes greatly interested in Miss Penny, the governess, and in his attempts to tell her so is generally misunderstood or interrupted. A Things go on in this manner until Hubert Stem, who in reality likes Miss Penny, sees the state of affairs, becomes jealous and determines to find out who Clarence is. The servants, Della and Dinwiddie, cleverly portrayed by Carolyn Corder and Creig Seigfreid, add much to the humaness of the story. From Della Bobby learns that Clarence has previously worked in a hotel laboratory in Montana. Thinking his folks should know this, he decides to tell them. This sets them to thinking, and they discover that none of them agree as to his last name. Arguments which follow finally result in Miss Penny's deciding to leave. The last of the play is at the Wheeler home. Clarence, who has just played a saxaphone solo, is in the garden with Cora and Mrs. Wheeler, Hubert Stem comes in and is coolly greeted by Mr. Wheeler. The subject of Clarence is brought up so they send for him. Stem takes from his pocket a newspaper, in which is a picture of one Charley Short, army deserter, and wanted by a divorced wife seeking alimony. This, reasons Stem, must be Clarence. U Clarence's endeavor to prove he is not this or any other Charlie Short is very complicated -and amusing. But this gets them nowhere. The question is, who is he! He wasgreatly sur- prised to learn that after being with the Wheelers for nearly three weeks, they did not kI10W who he was. He informed them that altho he was not a great man, he was certainly an au- thority on the Coleoptera. The next morning on the way out he meets Miss Penny, and learns she is going 2.W2-Y also, and without much effort on his part he persuades her to go with him. The news of the cor?- in marriage is received j oyfully by all but Bobby and Cora. As they leave, Cora choking y g whispers, Oh, Clarence! - A' Adams Elifflml 9 2 -4 ,affirms GLEAM'lsf..m School Song 1...- CTune of Sailing by G. Marksj I Stand up, ye students, join in song!

U Q v The understanding of this great document requires that we penetrate the veil that cow ers 'the remote ages of the past. A Constitution such as ours could have lifted the weight beneath which many individuals were crushed in days gone by, but It could not be Obtalned at the price of revolution, nor sudden change. . U I Man 1011 held in mental and political bondage by the great institutions around and over him,,sub51itted to the tyranny because he could see no way to break the shackles of the power that held him. The light came with the Renaissance and Reformation. With keen intellectual vision Englishmen followed the ideals of individualism and equality of man, so rigidly upheld by the Puritans and Liberalists of the seventeenth century. As the rise of these great forces educated Englishmen to their inherent rights, the divine theory of kings was doomed. They became adept in the building of Constitutions in their long struggles with the Stuarts. The Petition of Right of 1628 and the Bill of Rights of 1689 expressed the 'grim deter- mination to restrict the power of the king and increase the power of the people. ' These immemorial rights of Englishmen were brought to America by the early colonists. They carried with them, in their very souls, as a symbol of public duty and private right, the seeds which were destined to blossom forth in that greatest of political documents, the Con- stitution. ' ' Here we might pause to ask who were the men with the selective wisdom, the keen judg- ment, the practical sagacity, and the devoted hearts, who produced thissmastefpiece in the science of government? I need not tell you their names. Those names will ring down the ages. They were men versed in administration, experienced in law and finance, and learned in political philosophy. Seven of that august body had served their native states in the ca- pacity of governor, twenty-eight had been in Congress during the Revolution or the Articles of Confederation, and many were fur ther destined to aid their country under the government they had been instrumental in constructing. In planning the Constitution did they place their emphasis on the power and gloryhof the state? No, but they accomplished it, because they strove primarily for the happiness and liberty of the individual. 'Our attention must be directed to the Constitution itself to appre- ciate how it attains this high ideal. The probelem is a complex one, which must deal with the diverse faculties and varied lives of men. Nothing short of genius was necessary to mold a government to protect this end, and nothing short of the co-operation of citizens can ultimately be responsible for its execution. Liberty can be secured only by voluntary concessions of in- dividuals and their obedience to the law, promulgated for the welfare of the people. Actually the majority wields a powerful induence and decisive vote, but it is composed of groups 'who do. not have everything in common, and who might be led astray to advocate legislation infringing .upon the inviolable rights of minorities. The Constitution provides a re-enforcement against this possible perversion of the power of the majority. But, the very size of the country is an assurance that the majority, as a whole, will be composed of well- meaning citizens whose common aim is the welfare of the country. And if this majority is :sufliciently strong within itself, and unified by a firm conviction that its purpose is just it can accomplish what it will through amendments. The eleventh and sixteenth amendmehts were opposed to unpopular decisions of the Supreme Court, and virtually were recalls of these by the people. In the last analysis, it is the people who rule. K 9 2 4 1155135 ' 'l'HE .GLEAMQSQQ 89 actiofiifiilif Zfiisisciillii lftfllilnafifgeand political ideas emotlotal ' , . Q conflicting interests must needs be adjusted to the dlsadvantage of no one. The Constitution touches each of us so very intimately that lt even protectslone part of society from the encroachments of another. Public views are refined and modified by passing through representatives. ' Further, the Constitution is so built that popular feeling cannot work havoc through direct legislation. The House of Representatives is chosen for two years, the Senate for six, although but one-third change at a tirne,.to keep that body experienced and conservative, and the President forifour years, Agltatlon would have to endure six years before it could seriously affect the political machinery of our government. A law cannot- go into affect unless it passes the House, the direct representative of the people, and the Senate, which protects the peculiar conditions arising from the local interests of the states. What better barrier could be erected against excessive legislation, a threatening danger to which our attention has oft been called of late? Equally as perfect as the legislative department is the judicial, and strong and efficient enough to make them effective, yet not over-powerful, is the executive. I think we are prone to forget the great debt We owe to the excellence of our judiciary. Colonial courts had the power of constitutional interpretation, and an appeal could be made from them to the Eng- 'lish Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, of which our own Supreme Court is a counter- part, yet the fact remains, that America's system of judicial control is distinctive, and is one of the most unique and powerful contributions to modern political science. The tenure of the ,judiciary is a safeguard against political influence or interference. Not only does it serve to directly prevent or reprimand usurpation in the legislative body, the only place it could pos- sibly creep in under our balanced system, but the representatives, beholding the judiciary as a recourse of the guardianship of the people, through the Constitution, will qualify their acts accordingly. And this is but one of the many barriers to iniquitous politics, the sole breeding place of danger in a representative democracy. Where there is undue centralization, subtle infiuences might undermine, but here in the United States, bribery and corruption, to be effective, would have to be exercised on more than one person, more than one group, in truth, they would be impracticable. - If there are any evils in our government the Constitution is not to blame. All that any mortal could possibly anticipate and guard against the framers have handled with inspired brilliancy. The Constitution has not given rise to any detrimental institution. It stands aloof in unsullied majesty. But no government, even if created by such a noble document as the Constitution of the United States, can be a substitute for public wisdom, effort, and stand- ards. It is the duty of every American citizen to uphold the Constitution by unflinching obedience and respect for law, which derives its authorityifrom that immortal document whose first words are, We, the peoplef' Though my hand has never cast a ballot, though my eyes have never rested on those involved in the Teapot Dome leases, I feel a sense of shame and responsibility for them, be- cause of the faith placed in us, the people, in this great land. We have been given the power and privileges of kings, and Aristotle, that sage old philosopher, has well said that a good king is better than good laws. The Constitution is a living challenge to the finest qualities in the American people. .They reverence and rejoice in it, for its message of freedom and individual liberty, ll?-S lllllmllla-ted the world. The Constitution is America. I tremble .at the mere idle. conjecture of thi Can- stitution fallingg but should a day of doom ever arrive, when its principles Wlll not e e guiding light of the land, politically and socially, America will no longer be America. .

I paused near the door, A dis- tinguished woman was pleading for the life of a poor unfortunate accused of murder. -The curly yellow hair and Roman nose looked familiar, but I, could not recall the name. Upon inquiry, I found that it was none other than our own Sybil Burrus: I ' An evening in New York alone is something to be dreaded. Hence, I was very blue until the telephone rang and the following conversation ensued: ' This is Agnes Adams-do you remember me? How would you like to see .I im Ed Spen- cer's new play with me tonight? I am reviewing it for the 'Timesi Oh, yes, that's thehway I earn my breadrand butter-criticizing other people's dramatic productions. All right, then, at seven o'clock. Good-bye. The play was undoubtedly a success, and it was ably supplied with atmosphere by the competent musicians-concert master, Clyde Campbell, conductor, Charles Nickson, and last but certainly not least, pianist, George Miller. . We went to the Ritz-Carlton after the theatre, and to my great surprise, were informed that this famous hotel was the property of Nicholas Canavaro--he gained his experience at the Select Lunch in Independence. I bought the mid-night edition of the Sun on the way back to the hotel, as I was very anxious to learn of the election returns. There they were in four inch head-lines-Virgil Julian elected president on the Republican ticket. Other notices given first page space were: Finley Frost scored a hit with his unique in- terpretation of Dr. .Iekyl and Mr. Hyde. J ack Gardner appointed American minister to France. The sport section yielded further information. Blendon Cook led Yale's football team to victory after a hard-fought game with Princeton. Coming home on the train, I was so fortunate as to sit beside a gentleman who said that he was a traveling salesman for the New Age Encyclopedia Publishing Company. It proved to be no other than Ted Moor. He said that on his last vacation he visited Washington, and heard part of Bruce Gold's speech in the Senate-only part-as it lasted twenty-two hours. Did you know that the famous creator of the Ham and Eggs cartoons was Harold Morgan of the class of '24? No? Well, I don't suppose you have heard that Clarence Hunter was a hypnotist? Or that John McDonald was mayor of Independence? What do you thlnk of my permanent wave? I got it by using Stanley Withee's patented'wav1ng method. Only 37 5 a treatment-guaranteed to last ten years or your money back. D It was necessary for me to make a stop in Chicago, and the first evening was spent at 21 moving picture show. I thought I was prepared fOr anything but the Shock Of- Seemg Tony Marqua playing a Rudolph Valentino role, with Eleanor Werner as the leading lady Was really too much. .

La Revue De Fanfaise The crowning dramatic effort of the year was La Revue De Fantaisen Written and DTS- , Ed d S encer. ' . , Centlliia tllieiienwilis giifvelri in Seven scenes. The first was in an art1st's studio where the show IS planned The second scene was in a Chinese garden and concerned the elopement of Soa Ming Chon with an American who was tired of rice and chop suey. The stage pIf0Pe1't1f9S for tllls scene were particularly pleasingf Next 031119 2 SOUL illustrated by elght gms' A hght' any butterfly dance followed. The fifth scene was a sketch, interspersed with symbolic dances. While Bubbles was sung four girls blew soap bubbles which reflected the rich colors of the sur-V roundings. The return of The Potters was welcomed with much applause. It Was even better than the two sketches on the same subject presented by Mr. Spencer in the past years. A mysterious oriental air characterized the quartet which followed. A unique feature was the ninth scene, a mask dance illustrating several phases of the new mask art. The large chorus of the next song was very colorful and charming. The last scene furnished as contrasting climax with two dances, patterned after classical Greece. ' ' U The art classes assisted Mr. Spencer. The atmosphere and polish was indeed an accomp- lishment for an amateur production. The ushers wore artists tams and sakachs, and the guards and sentinels wore uniforms, and completed the artistic and spectacular effect brought out in the unusual settings and costumings. My Duty As An American Ciiizen In considering just what the duty of an American citizen is one must look at the question from every side. The common thought is that a citizen must be ready and willing to give his all to the common cause when the dark clouds of war hang heavily overhead obscuring the sunshine of peace and prosperity. At such a time the very spirit of loyalty permeates the at- mosphere and it was easy for one to be a real citizen and even die for his country. But when these dark clouds of war have rolled away and once more the sunshine of peace warms and lightens the hearts of the citizens, they seem to forget or fail to realize that they still owe a deep loyalty to America. We need these soldiers of war. Yes, very much, but we need soldiers of peace equally as bad if not more. A real soldier of peace is acitizen who fights the battles of democracy every day. He is one who lets' his every act be governed by love for America. His duty is to first learn and then later, when he is older, to teach his children the principles of patriotism. These principles are simple in their magnitude. They are Justice, Loyalty and Equality. This sol- dier must teach his children that great lesson upon which Liberty and Democracy are f ounded- love for his fellow man. The child must be taught to treat his playmates fairly and res ect hi p s superiors. Above all this he must be taught to love and revere the American Flag with its Red White and Blue and all that they symbolize. He must be prepared to join the army of peace as a regular soldier when he has reach d th b 1 e e proper age. While in this army never to e a s ove y, lazy soldier without love or interest 1n his country, but a well trained soldier who meets no obstacles too great to be overcome. He must be one who will be ho t d 1 ' nes an a ways Vste, 110t 111 9- blind, DaTW'b0und faSh10H, but in an intelligent comprehensive manner for t e best trained soldiers who are willing to become ofiicers in the, peace army. By being good soldiers of peace we will erase from our sacred Red, White, and Blue those dark stains which now cause it to droop and fade. One of the blackest of these Stains was an incident which took place in Herrin, Illinois, where twenty-eight citizens were taken out and Slaugllteff-Bd because they attempted to exercise their rights, as free citizens of America by W0Tk11'1g U1 the mines While 2 Strike was in progress. The convict labor system of Florida child labor, and the corruption of public officials by lar t' , erase these Stains and T t h ge .corpora ions are others.
