Duncan The members of the board, without salary or compensation of any kind, have given a great deal of time and service for the good of the Independence schools. Since I have been acting as secretary of the board all members have attended every meeting with one exception Cone member was absent one rneetingj and each member has shown a disposition to cheerfully give his time and attention to any matter pertaining to or for the benefit of our schools. Mr. Emil Helff, the retiring member, has given eighteen years of faithful service on the board. After having served as president of the board he was elected treasurer, which position ' ' l Mr. Helff a debt he now holds. The citizens of the Independence School District sure y owe ' ' ' d ' this every member of the Board should right- of gratitude for faithful service rendered an in iully be included. Very respectfully, John W. Hinde, Sec'y. Page 11 The Independence Schools ,The Independence Public Schools have been maintained at public expense for approxi- mately sixty-two years. During this time prominent citizens have been selected as members of the Board of Education, who, by carefully budgeting the expenses, have been able to main- tain a first class school system ranking at all times with the best in the state. This district now has eleven school buildings, and equipment limited to the present enrollment of about forty- four hundred. The increase in enrollment during the past six years has been greater than that of the preceding fifteen yearsf Therefore a minimum of supplies and expenditures has been necessary in order to increase the number of teachers so' that efhcient instruction might be carried on. Despite the handicap of a rapidly increasing enrollment and a slowly increasing valuation, the public is able to point with pride to many progressive advancements in the public school system. I The six-three-three plan of organization is used. Departmental meetings for teachers are held. Uniform and systematic progress is maintained throughout the system, attention es- pecially being directed to the period of the day best suited to -the subject to be presented. Children are enrolled according to ability groups and each progresses at a maximum of speed and eiii- ciency. V Special methods in spelling, reading, penmanship, and arithmetic are employed, and practice tests are used to determine the individual differences of each pupil so that he can discover his own weaknesses. Each child is treated as an individual and is expected to respond IIS 0116. Teachers are placed in the system according to their major subject. A uniform salary for equal preparation results in a fine, harmonious spirit prevailing among the members of the entire faculty, which, in turn, extends to the various student bodies, finally reaching the parent through the enthusiastic child. The Parent Teacher's Association is ever ready to come to the aid of the schools, furnishing a unit library for each room and many aids for the comfort- health, and instruction of the children. , Special courses in art, music, teacher training, domestic science, physical training, dra, matics, commercial and manual arts, so equip the students that they are able to bring many honors from the fistrict and state meets, The teacher training department prepares many' for teaching positions in the rural schools. V Finally, a large percent of the high school graduates continue their work in college and there rank with the best in the courses selected. This is a final estimate of efficiency,-to compete successfully with others in any contest. Page 12 E. B. STREET, M. A. Superintendent of Schools Page 13 A ,VV if J. N. HANTHORN, M.

From their lofty gallery position they were aware of all that happened, especially were they aware of the fact the Seniors teased them whenever possible. Besides this, our freshmen year was remarkable for several things. The athletic field was purchased, being a great step in our school progress, our football and basketball teams were noteworthy, with several freshmen members, and we had a successful year in debate and literary activities, in which a number of freshmen were also interested. After our term as freshmen, we, finally, became Sophomores. Due to the fact that the freshmen were kept at Junior High, we had little room for expansion, and the balcony was again allotted to us. That year our football team was unusually good, winning every one of its ten conference games, while the basketball and track teams enjoyed a good year also, the basketball team going to the State Tournament and there winning third place. Also the debate team went to the State Tournament at Lebanon. When we became Juniors we were greatly puffed up, because we could then look up at the green Sophomores and enjoy heartily the things said about them from the platform. To us as a class the most important event of the year was the Junior Play, Where Julia Rules. The Junior Senior reception was the most important social event of the year. And last came the most important year of all, the climax of four long years of work, the goal at which we have been aiming through our high school career, at last we occupied those seats in the cherished center section 5 we could poke fun at the Sophomores with triumphant heart. Under our new coach, Harry Lee, we made admirable progress and achievements in athletics. Our literary activities enjoyed their share of attention. The Christmas Play, Class Day Play, and Annual Senior Play, the high lights in the history of every Senior Class along the line of dramatics, were all thoroughly successful in every way. We published one of the best Annuals that has ever been put out by this high school. Therefore having filled our places very satisfactorily on every hand, we now prepare for our departure, as students, from Chrisman High, leaving our seats to the Senior class of next year, and hoping that they will be able to fill them as well as we did. 0 I 7 . , . 1 , - , . 1 1 ' 1 ' 1 Page 38 Class Prophecy One summer evening in 1956, I was sitting at my desk in Paris, completing negotiations between France and my native land, I being foreign minister at that time. Just after our business was completed, the oiiice boy rushed in with a telegram for me. Seeing by the boy's manner that it was something unusual, I quickly opened it and read: Reunion of class of 1928 of William Chrisman High School to be held in Independence day after tomorrow. Comef' Needless to say, I chartered the next scheduled passenger airplane sailing from France to the United States, arriving the next day in New York. There I hired a plane and flew to In- dependence, arriving in plenty of time at my old home town. My heart beat with joy as I saw the old familiar sights again, but many of the favorite places of my school days were vastly changed, and I wondered at the strange appearances which greeted m.y eyes. I came to the old high school which had had so much effect on my life. Tears of love, of gratitude for that old building rolled down my cheeks. I was overjoyed to see all my old classmates again, and find out about the life work to which each had dedicated himself, and his success therein. Francis Alexander has gone into the movies and is as popular as Charley Chaplin used to be when we were children. Big Bill Anderson recently took up politics, and met success immediately, being elected town crier of Buckner within two months after he started his campaign. Helen Grace Bishop has been a member of Congress for two years. She got her start in politics as Governor of Texas. Critics agree that she has a good chance for the presidency if she will come out and admit that she is thirty-five. Marie Blackburn is a combination school teacher and journalist and is very popular. Herbert Chinnery is star first baseman for the New York Giants and holds the world's record for number of home runs per season. Arthur Clow is the chief electrician of the General Electric Co., while his brother William holds a very promising position with the same company. Glen Crabtree is the present mayor of Independence, and strongly advocates high tariff. Clyde Crawford jumped into the sea of matrimony long ago. Report has it that he is still able to swim, but his ideas certainly became all wet. Best luck to thee, O suffering Comrade. Richard Day has been running a restaurant during the day and sleeping at night. Jacob Dickinson is a very promising lawyer and it is believed that some day he will choose to run. Edwin Ingram, although a banker, is still apparently as honest as ever. Nolan Kuehnl is a conductor with the Chicago and Alton railroad, and tells more people where to get off than any other man in town. Roderick May and Robert Crawford are with the Victor Talking Machine Company, and, according to statistics, one or the other of them is being heard in some part of the world once every two minutes through a Victor Talking Machine. Roger McClelland and Elman Morrow are retired farmers, and are now able to devote their time entirely to charity. Elmer Moore has had a busy time in his studio lately, painting the portraits of famous men. Among them are Franklin Milton, writer of periodicals and political essays, while he is not farming, John Lynch, Congressional leader of the political economists, John Owen, recognized as the foremost living violinist, Fred Pinson, world famous poet, Orvar Swenson, manufacturer, Senator, and prose critic, Herbert Tatum, who recently made one of the greatest medical dis- coveries of all time, a cure for spring fever 3 and many others whose names have recently gone down in the everlasting pages of history. John Turner and Harold Woodruff, contractors and builders, are the founders of the largest professional group now in existence, the great Carpenters' Co-operative Aid Society. I found that every person had an interesting story to tell, and I certainly enjoyed myself that brief day. Now back to my work I must go, with only the memory of my companions re- maining in my heart, for some of them I may never see again. Page 39 l 1 THOSE HISTORY DATES . Those History Dates! It's interesting to know those kings And what each one has done, But when it comes to learning dates, I can't remember one! ' I know about what each man did I've read it o'er and again, I know about where each one lived, But can't remember when. I know what wars they each fought in And what each lost and won 5 But the thing I can't remember Is when each was begun. Some day I'll write a history That doesn't have a date!

They presented their Annual Play, Turn to the Right, which was one of the biggest successes in this line which the school has had for some time. Two of the best comedy parts which could have been found in any play were those of Muggs and Gilly taken by Blaine Bender and Ed Hall. During the football season the three classes participated in a ticket selling contest for one of the games, the Seniors challenging the Juniors. The award was to be the choice of giving the program for any of the three games: Marshall, Sedalia or Higginsville. The Juniors were victorious and their choice was the Marshall Assembly. ' When the time came later in the year, for the basketball boys to go to the Warrensburg Meet, the school finances were so very low that the boys could not attend if the money was not raised in some special way. Therefore, the call was made for the classes to give all the money that could be collected. Three huge imitation thermometers were constructed and as the mer- cury rose enthusiasm ran high. Who would win? Sometimes the Seniors led, sometimes the Juniorsg but, when it drew near the close of the contest, the Junior Class was leading by a con- siderable margin, raising in all about forty-eight dollars. In the latter part of the year ,after the basketball games with other schools were closed, an interschool tournament among the classes was arranged. Each class played three games and the Juniors were winners in each game in which they participated. These victories gave the Junior team the coveted place of School Champions. The school year was closed by the Juniors with the customary Junior-Senior Reception which, following the antecedent of former years, was a true success. T he junior Gloai In histories of yore, so Miss Phelps tells us, the outstanding high lights of every established institution of knowledge always came from the mature, learned Senior Class. But, remember, looks are often deceiving, and so is history. This year marks no exception to the rule. This year witnessed the downfall of that age-ridden tradition. The Seniors have been trodden under foot, and, rising to the heights of shining glory comes the Junior Class. Not that We wish to brag on ourselves-Juniors never do that-but nevertheless many things must be told about the accomplishments of this superb class. Blink your eyes and view us in football. 'Member the great work of Bud Parker, Earl Curtis and Captain Honey Linson-all Juniors. And take a look at Ed Hall, next year's gridiron leader. None the less on the court or track-far from it-the Juniors are always out in front. There's Cook, an all- conference basketball man, and Tommy McCarrol, king of high jumpers. Not far behind come the musical and literary Juniors, yet still in the lead fSeniors take noticeb. Who leads and plays in the Pep-Assembly Orchestra? None other than our own Merrill Pratt and Clem- ent Rowe. Look at the king of the ivories -Ewart Ragan. And don't forget the tall, good- looking member of the boys' quartet, Orby Martin. One couldn't touch our Junior declaimer, Blaine Bender, with a ten-foot pole. And last but not least are Guinn Bronson and Robert Alexander, debaters without compare. We do not wish to expound too much on our laurels, that is not our nature, but let us call every one's attention to the fact that the Juniors have carried off more honors this year than any other class. We saved the Gleamg we saved the basketball team's reputation 5 we won the basketball tournament, and we are ticket sellers par excellence. And let us remind the Seniors Cand Sophomoresj that next year's student presidents and Gleam editors must come from the Junior Class. Remember, read, forgive and forget!

We, the Sophomores of 1928, firmly believe that we have broken this tradition. For proof of this statement some of the Sophomore's achievements during the year have been listed below. 1. The Sophomores sold the most tickets for the Slater basketball game and put on a clever stunt that night. 2. The Sophomores gave the Assembly program for the Sedalia football game. 3. As their contribution for the assembly contestthe class gave an Irish Program, on March 16. 4. A one-act play, entitled, Rather Rough on Robert, was presented in assembly. 5. On the night of February 28, the class entertained their parents with two one-act plays. 6. Just before Christmas, the Sophomores had a jolly good time at a kid party, in the gym. 7. On the All-Star Program the Sophomores shone in their stunts. 8. In the Lincoln Essay Contest, Elizabeth Smith won first place. Elizabeth Burgess, Emina Shank, and Olive Curtis getting second, third, and fourth places, respectively. 9. Jodie Benson was placed on the All-Star basketball team. 10. Windsor Parker, Joseph Price, Albert Alberti, Kenneth Curtis, Merrill Etzenhouser and Jodie Benson received their letters in football. 11. Joe Price, Evan Resch and George Weitzel were prominent men in track work. 12. Maurine Nace was a member of the mixed quartet. 13. Gwendolyn Tanner was chosen queen of the Sophomore Class. 14. Emina Shank won the U. D. C. prize with her essay on Southern Gardens. 15. Eleanor Pruyn represented the school in the declamatory contest at Warrensburg and was a member of the cast in the one-act play sent there. 16. Martha Basye, Laura Hickman, Mildred Morgan, Juanita Bushart, Ralph McCon- nell and Jack Chiles were Honor Students. From these things one can easily see that the Sophomores have been quite important dur- ing the past year. ' Page 50 Sophomore Lincoln Essay Elizabeth Smith was the winner of the Lincoln essay contest conducted by the Illinois Watch Company of Springfield, Illinois, in various high schools in the United States. Many of the Sophomores in Chrisman competed and because of the excellence of her paper Elizabeth was given first place. The medal was a bronze plaque modelled after other famous medals. On one side was the head of Lincoln and on the other the name of the winner and the date. The subject of Elizabeth's essay was t'Lincoln, the Man of the Hour. Following are some excerpts from her essay. A great sociologist once said, Every great crisis seems to produce men to meet it. Many explanations of this have been given, including that of providential. But in a vast population there is always present the potential Grant, Edison, Morgan, etc. Under certain conditions some one kind of these is called for, gets his opportunity, and gets his chance for distinction. Such was Abraham Lincoln at the age of twenty-four,-obscure, unknown, poverty-strick- en, and without a calling. If at that time some supernatural being had appeared to him in a dream, and announced that he would some day be President of the United States, that he would rule the nation in a great crisis, and save it by force of wisdom and character, would he not have felt, on awaking from his dream, very much as the youthful David, when the prophet Samuel announced to him that he should be king over Israel? Lincoln's career was just as mysterious as that of David, for of all the leading men of this great nation it would seem that he turned out to be the fittest for the work assigned to him,- chosen because his steps were so ordered that he fell into the paths which naturally led to his great position. If Lincoln had not been gifted with innate greatness, to be developed as occa- sions should arise, no fortunate circumstances could have produced so extraordinary a career. If Lincoln had not the germs of greatness in him,-certain qualities which were necessary for the guidance of a nation in an emergency,-to be developed later as the need came, then his career is impossible to solve according to any known laws of human success. , If there ever was a nation in an emergency, needing untold guidance, it certainly was our country in its hour of internal strife. For many years it had been developing. Rich in natural resources,-forest, mines, rivers, minerals,-it had prospered under the direction of great men. Then, just as a cloud enveloping the sun, throws a brief shadow over the land, so there came a Civil War, spreading a blanket of strife and death over the terrorized people. Convulsed by discussions and ominous threats of disunion, the nation had come upon a great crisis. The con- flict became more irrepressible, until the Union was on the verge of destruction. Then Abraham Lincoln squared his shoulders and strengthened himself for the struggle which was eventually to free the slaves and save the Union. Lincoln was gentle, patient, forgiving on all occasions, and self-sustained. His transcend- ent moral qualities stood out unquestioned before the world. He was indeed the man for such a trying hour. With malice toward none, with charity for all he strove to finish the work and to bind up the nation's wounds, and so completely did this great man fulfill his purpose that he lived to see the total collapse of the rebellion,-the fall of Richmond, the surrender of Lee, and the flight of Jefferson Davis, the complete triumph of the cause which it was intrusted to him to guard. On April 15, 1865, death placed our President, Lincoln, the man of the hour, in the Pantheon of American history. Page 51 THOUGHTS 'If we'd go to the end of the sunset I wonder what we would find.

Morris first became a part of the Independence school system in 1914 when he ac- cepted the principalship of the Noland School. This position he filled very efficiently for three years. In 1917 he taught manual training in the Junior High School. Mr. Morris took up his present work as principal of the Junior High School in 1918. Under his wise leadership the school has made, steady progress. Much of his success has been due to his pleasing personalityg to his courteous, kindly, helpful, cooperative, and progressive spiritg to his conscientious and faithful performance of duty. Not the least of Mr. Morris' admirable traits of character is his ability to get along with everyone-teachers, pupils, and parents. The teachers have al- ways found him to be broad-minded, courteous, considerate, and ready to cooperate in all undertakings which were for the good of the school. He has won the love and respect of the pupils by his unusual patience and by his generosity and fairness in all his dealings with them. He has done many acts of kindness for the pupils as individuals that few outsiders know any- thing about. His heart is in his work 3 his aim is to do his best for each child entrusted to his care. His courteous, friendly attitude toward the parents gains their good willg his just deci- sions win their respect. In all his dealings he shows the true Christian spirit. He is a friend to youth-to man, and many are the people who are glad to claim A. C. Morris as their friend.

The first game of the season was played with Sugar Creek on the William Chrisman court, Junior High winning 13-11. The second game was a defeat by Mount Washington due to the long accurate shooting of one of their guards. The next game was lost to Maywood Athletic Club 11-10. Junior High came back and defeated them 19-12. This was followed by a 27-15 victory over Mount Washington and a 13-8 victory over Sugar Creek on the Sugar Creek court. Bristol school then won a hard game from Junior High by the score 14-12. An inexperienced team started the game and held its own fairly well until the third quarter. The regular team went in, but could do no more than tie the score and then lost after three periods overtime had been played. In preliminaries to the William Chrisman-Slater game the second team defeated the William Chrisman Midgets 7-5 g and William Chrisman second team defeated the first team 12-7. Bristol then played a return game and was trounced 19-6. The season was closed with a game between the eighth grade and Freshman teams which the eighth won 13-10. Letters were awarded to the following players: Kenneth Smith, CCapt.j F., Wilbur Smith, F.: Leonard Webster, G.g Glen Petre, G., Paul Page, C. and G.g Reginald Loosemore, Gg Ralph Snively, C., and John Lackland, G. Page 5 9 Anti-Cigarette League The 1927-1928 Anti-Cigarette-League has had a very success- ful season. This is shown by the increase in members. In 1920 the League was organized by a small group of cigarette smokers. Upon noticing the injurious effects of tobacco, they declared war on the cigarette. From one hundred and fifty-three boys in that year, the League has increased to five hundred and four- teen boys which is sixty-four more than last year's membership. Our league activities have been quite influential in the grade schools. Upon receiving an invitation from Columbian School, several members gave them an interesting program. We visited two other schools soon after. play, Mr. Bob, ' netting over two hundred was used for new chairs for the orchestra, High Library, and other useful things.

Since so large a number of pupils can not be seated in our auditorium at one time, we have found it best to have three separate assemblies. Each grade has a program committee composed of three teachers. The plan of the committee has been to vary the assembly program and to conduct the assembly as a student activity, enabling as many students as possible to take part at some time during the year. The Junior High School orchestra, conducted by Mr. Schowengerdt, has provided music for assembly programs, and for our evening entertainments. Another student activity has been the organization of the A. B. C. Club, America's Best Citizens, to promote better order in the building. A captain on each iioor supervises the work of the patrolmen, two of whom are chosenlfrom each home room. This facilitates the passing through the halls between classes and improves therorder. Students of the Junior High School have presented three successful plays this year. De- cember 6th and 7th the Anti Cigarette League gave a clever comedy, Mr, Bob. The annual Freshman play June Time was presented March 7th and 8th. Three Pegs was the play chosen by the girls' organization, A. O. O. A., for presentation April 5th and 6th. The money obtained from the production of these plays is used for the benefit of the school. The A. O. O. A. and A. C. L. have contributed one hundred dollars each to the Junior High School library for the purchase of new books. The Freshman Class expects to use its money to buy a moving picture machine.

He finished his high school course at Charleston in 1915, and entered the Missouri University the next year. In 1917 he enlisted in the Marines as bayonet instructor, shortly afterward sailing for Paris where he enlisted in Company 45, Fifth regular Marines as a private and was promoted to captaincy in the U. S. Marine Corps in May. He was in the battles of Verdun and Ballou Woods, where his conduct was deemed worthy of the Croix de Guerre. Being wounded on June 10, 1918, he was returned to the United States. He entered Missouri University again and continued his studies in the School of Agriculture, taking part in Football, Track and Baseball. His first teaching position was as director of Athletics at St. Charles, Mo., High School. He remained there two years and then was chosen to the same position at Higginsville. Last year he was elected Athletic director of William Chrisman High School. Coach Lee has developed strong teams in all three of the positions he has held and is a promoter of clean athletics and high scholarship. We are looking forward to another success- ful year on the gridirons of strenuous athletic endeavor. Page 65 r football i Linson Hall Brocaw Our Football Captains This year Chrisman has had the good fortune to be led in her gridiron battles by not one, but two, triple threat men of great ability. Wesley Brocaw and James Linson were elected co- captains at the close of the 1926 season and each has proved well worthy of the trust reposed in him. Both have earned their football letters in '25, '26, and '27. Coach Lee speaks of Honey as one of the hardest hitting fullbacks in the conference and says of Wes that the harder they are the better he likes themf' Edwin Hall, all conference center, has been chosen to pilot the team thru its 1928 season and there is every indication that he will captain a team next year which will be a much feared contender for conference honors. At the close of the '27 season all the coaches in the conference met and selected the all- conference team. On the Hrst team Chrisman placed Hall at center, Pennell at right tackle and Brocaw at left half. Linson at fullback and Langton at left guard tied for first team honors with other players but, due to Coach Lee's inability to fiip coins properly, lost the positions. So many Chrisman players were suggested for the second team that the reaction was unfavor- able, with the result that Morgan at right tackle was the only Independence player to win a berth.

Page 69 Football Resume After about three weeks of intensive training under the supervision of Coach Lee, who took the place made vacant by Clarence Little, Chrisman's football team played their first game of the season with Lee's Summit. This affair ended with a victory for Chrisman. The game served to expose the defects of the team, and work was redoubled in preparation for our first home game with Lexington, the following Friday, which also resulted in a decisive Chrisman victory. Next our schedule called for a game with Slater. The trip was made by a caravan of about twelve motor cars packed with Chrisman supporters together with the team, all out to avenge last year's trouncing. The Bears were again successful to the tune of 12-7 . On October 21st Chrisman met Harrisonville on their home gridiron and the Blue and Gold machine overwhelmed its opponents with a series of line plunges and off-tackle smashes, making an early lead which was held throughout the game resulting in a score of 19-0. The second string men played the first three periods, and accredited themselves admir- ably, giving way to the Hrst string men in the fourth quarter. Chrisman enjoyed the novelty of having motion pictures of the game taken and also of accompanying rooters. The pictures were later shown in assembly. A trip to Odessa the next Friday netted an additional victory to the tune of 19-5, making our third Conference victory. Over half the school accompanied the team on the short trip. We began auspiciously with an 85 yard run by Earl Curtis, which netted a touchdown, and gave us a lead which was held throughout. As in the preceding game, the second group started the battle and were not replaced until the second quarter when the first string began an offensive which continued until the final period. A week of very serious work preceded our annual struggle with Marshall on November 4. If determination and insides will win a game, the victory in this game should have gone to the Blue and Gold, but the fates decreed otherwise and we met with our first defeat of the season. Although we struggled gamely the game resulted in a 13-0 shut out for the Blue and Gold. Our next game was with Higginsville on November 11. A great deal of interest was taken in the game inasmuch as Coach Lee had occupied that position previously in Higginsville. The game was one of the hardest fought it has been our privilege to see and although it remained an 0-0' tie score, the Bears are certainly to be commended upon this game of football. However, it remained until the next Friday for the Bears to rise to their highest pinnacle of the season by defeating Sedalia 7-0. Smith Cotton brought a bunch of beef and brawn to Independence with the easy confidence that they would continue their record of not losing a game, only to be surprised and sorely disappointed, by eleven fighting Bears who live on Tiger meat. Chrisman was out-weighed 14 pounds to the man but in spite of this unfavorable cir- cumstance made their best showing of the season. The teams held each other scoreless until the final quarter when 'Chrisman started their inimitable offensive, ending in a goal made by Curtis, and the extra point kicked by Linson. We consider our season very successful with only one defeat to mar our record, resulting in a second berth while Marshall and Sedalia tied for first place. Page 70 5 ns. I -Jin Q y .E 'PL- x 1 ef ,L 1 fi ,fi 'x-1 1 Page 71 g Our Basketball C apiain Our basketball team has been ably piloted through its 1927-28 season by R. J. Cooper, Cooper has earned his second letter in basketball this year, again playing the forward position which he filled so well last year. He has been handicapped this year by attending school only the last semester. In spite of this difficulty Cooper has played a consistently good game and on several occasions has saved the day by his enthusiasm and his ability to drop the leather pill through the little iron circle. He has proved a great factor in the scoring end of each game and, in Coach Lee's words, has fought hard every minute. At the close of the season Windsor Parker was elected Captain for 1928-29. Parker play- ing center, has made an enviable record by his fight, by his teamwork, and most of all by his uncanny ability to sink the ball from seemingly impossible positions beneath the basket. With Bud as leader, and with a team at his back whose prospects are unequalled, we feel that the coming season must surely be one of unprecedented success. In the all-conference selections Leonard Cook, a Junior, and Jodie Benson, a Freshman, were unanimously chosen to till the positions of guard and forward, respectively. I P Page 72 Ralph Carpenter Basketball '27-'28-Guard t A man who keeps all other teams from scoring near the goal, always cool and steady. Clarence Dyer Basketball '26-'27, '27-'28-Guard In order to strengthen the defense he was shifted from center to guard, at which he proved a success. Leonard Cook Basketball '27-'28 One of the smallest guards in the confer- ence, but he made up for this handicap through speed, fight, and determination. Windsor Parker Basketball '27-'28, Capt. Elect-Center He was always in the play, anywhere on the court, and was especially good at scor- ing under the goal. Paul Westwood Basketball '27-'28-Forward Another small man, but his speed on the floor made up for all he lacked in size. Jodie Benson Basketball '27-'28-Forward High score man for the season. A man with an unlimited amount of speed. Elbert Petre Basketball '26-27, '27-'28-Guard When it came to breaking thru a man to man defense and scoring, Pete was hard to stop. ' Lionel Linson Basketball '27-'28-Center He could outjump any center in the conference, which made him a very valuable man to the team. John Hinde Basketball '27-'28-Forward and Guard He was a consistently hard player and could be depended upon at all times. Page 73 Basketball Resume Coach Lee received a splendid response for aspirants to the Basketball squad which started intensive training for the on-coming season shortly after the conclusion of our football schedules. After cutting the squad down to a workable number of twenty-eight, work was started in earnest for our first conference fray in January. In addition to this squad, a string of thirty- two men were kept in training two nights a week, in the prospect of future basketball material. After some pre-season games with two of the Kansas City schools, the Chrisman Cagers met Higginsville and Odessa on a round trip which took in both games, playing Higginsville Thursday January 5, and Odessa the following day. The results of this trip were encouraging when it was learned that the Bears returned 27-11, 17-6 victories over Higginsville and Odessa respectively. We were slated next for a round with Sedalia on our home court. Sad to say, we came out of this mix-up with the short' end.of a 50-17 score. The fact that this game was played on Friday 13, makes us believe in superstition. Eager to retrieve this disaster, the Bears journeyed to Slater and Marshall the following Thursday and Friday, returning a 59-50 score from Slater and a similar victory over Marshall. The following Tuesday, a non-conference tilt took place with the Lees Summit in the Chris- man gym, preceeding our return game with Odessa at Memorial Hall, January 28. In the latter game, the Bears returned the long end of a 32-9 score. Our next fray called for a game on Sedalia's home'court and we again took a trouncing at the hands of the Smith-Cotton Tigers. ' The Marshall Tournament at Missouri valley college was next in line and the results from there were not as satisfactory as we had hoped, winning second place in the consolation tourna- ment. - - The Bears came back with a 28-23 victory over Higginsville the following Friday on our home court still making a strong lead for second place in the conference. The following game with Slater proved an upset, Chrisman losing her third game ofthe season. In the Warrensburg tournament, the Bear machine went to the semi-finals where we were beaten by Sedalia, knocking our hopes for a place in the tournament. Page 74 32 ,,..,..,.. ,,,.

National Tournament, Price winning first and Morgan second in the 50 yard dash, and Weitzel winning third in the 440. In the relay combi- nation we met Lexington, winning easily. Journeying to Boonville, the Bears placed fourth in the meet, Price winning second in the 40 yard dash and Weitzel third in the 440. Etzenhouser placed third in the half mile. The relay team broke a college record and set a new high school record in the mile event. At Lexington we met Richmond and Lexington in a three-sided meet winning the meet with 64 3-4 points. Taking in Fayette at their C Club meet, we placed fourth. As the Gleam goes to press we hear that Chrisman placed third in the Liberty meet . Lin- son took first place in the shot-put, Price tied for the Century dash event, and won second in the 220, Weitzel third in the 440, and Carpenter fourth in the mile run. Our relay teams won second in both events. Altho Benton of St. Joseph won the meet by a big margin, and Sedalia second, we were within an ace of tying Sedalia for second place, the total-point score being 16-15.

Orchestra The orchestra has worked under dimculties this year, having been set back in its practice by the illness of Miss Jessie Smith. However, Independence was lucky enough to have an- other very capable Miss Sm.ith, Miss Marcine Smith, who stepped in and very efficiently di- rected the orchestra and worked it up for the spring contest at Warrensburg. Vina Mae Jenner, M aurine Nace and John Owen, violinistsg and Emlgn Fender, a nnelaphone player have kindly consented to accompany the orchestra to Warrensburg and help them to hold to the standard set by the Chrisman orchestra of previous years. This or- chestra will be composed of twenty-nine pieces. The orchestra has played at many entertainments this year. We are sorry to have lost Miss Jessie Smith for the year and are happy to know that we will have her back next year. We appreciate the efficient leadership of Miss M arcine Smith and the fact that we were very lucky to have such a capable leader to rely on in our trouble. She has guided the Music de- partment to almost certain success. OPERETTA Miss Cherry Blossom was the operetta chosen as the annual production of the Music department and was presented February 3 and 4. The splendid musical talent with the Japan- ese stage setting and the beautiful costumes made the operetta a great success. The role of the American girl brought up as a Japanese maiden was taken by Lois Cool, whose beautiful voice pleased the audience. Richard Day played the part of Jack, who falls in love with Cherry and wants to marry her, but Kokemo, who has brought her up as his own daughter, wants her to marry Togo, a rich politician. The part of Kokerno was taken by Joseph Hufferd and Togo by Robert Crawford. The action centered around J ack's efforts to outwit Togo and Kokemo. Eventually Cherry learns her true identity, comes into her own property, marries Jack, and all ends happily. Other important members of the cast were Pauline Corder, Roderick May, James Gardner, and Cassell Barrett. There was an excellent chorus. The operetta was di- rected by Miss Marcine Smith and Mr. Blevins Davis.

Our Mixed Quartette, composed of Roderick May, Maurine Nace, Pauline Corder, and Orville Martin, won first place, which carried with it a beautiful trophy. They were not alone in vic- tory as Orvar Swenson won first in extemporaneous speaking, and LaRena Bullard first in girl's vocal solo. Isabel Garrett placed second in piano, Emina Shank second in essay, Mary Eleanor Pruyn second in girl's declamation, and Edwin Ingram second in boy's declamation. The com- bined eiforts of our musical' and literary contestants won the high point trophy. Our track results were also quite good. See Track Resume. In the tennis tournament, which was conducted separately, Jacob Dickinson took fourth in singles, but he and Francis Alexander failed to place in doubles. ' I I y Warrehsburg Dzstrzct Meet The District Meet at Warrensburg was the scene of keen competition, the number of con- testants in any single contest ranging from ive in Class A Orchestra to twenty-nine in girl's declamation. Independence shows a decided tendency to rank best or not at all, for we placed seven firsts and only three seconds. Our mixed quartette repeated its performance at Liberty and was followed by the girls' quartette, composed of Maurine Nace, LeRena Bullard, Wilma Salisbury, and Pauline Corder, which produced a silver loving cup. Competing against twenty- four other contestants, Pauline Siegfried won first in piano. Our crowning musical triumph came with our orchestra's wonderful rendition of the first movement of Shubert's Unfinished Symphony. In boy's declamation Blaine Bender won first with his reading, Danny, Edwin Ingram brought another first in extemporaneous speaking and to complete our public speaking successes Orvar Swenson and Robert Alexander were victorious in debate. In foods, represented by Maude Louise Hartman and Lila Green, we took second. Another second was won by Sue Louise Mitchell and Hazel Vanderwood in clothing, and still another by Vera Chapman and Mabel Herman in home nursing. Our athletic showingwas quite as good as that in music or literary events. The perform- ance of J oe Price was outstanding among the Chrisman tracksters for he won first in both the 100 yard dash and in the 220 yard dash. In the 440, George Weitzel took second. Evan Resch repeated with a second in the 220 yard low hurdles. Merrill Etzenhouser and Ralph Carpen- ter won second and third respectively in the half-mile run. Paul Westwood completed our scoring with a third in the javelin throw. The struggle for the high point cup throughout the meet was centered about Sedalia, Lexington, and Chrisman but we again emerged victorious with a two-thirds of a point win over Lexington g Sedalia coming in third, only one point behind. The whole meet netted a bronze plaque for orchestra, and four cups, besides many medals. l 1 V Page 82 JUNIOR PLAY The Junior play Turn to the Right given March 16 and 17 was a big success both as a dramatic production and as a financial enterprise Carol Davis carried the lead very eiiiciently and Virgil Ham who played opposite her was equally good Blaine Bender and Edwin Hall played the parts of professlonal crooks and were headliners of the performance keeping the audience amused throughout the play Other members of the cast were Aileen Hutchens Mildred Hanthorn Cassell Barrett Garnette Alumbaugh Frank Alumbaugh, Russell Resch Morgan Walker Lofton Kiersey Merrill Pratt and Margaret Williamson Every member of the cast displayed great skill in interpreting his role The play was directed by Miss Heidel berger ALL STAR PROGRAM Taurus Saturn Big Dipper Venus Little Dipper and Jupiter all stars were represented in the All Star program presented in the Chrlsman auditorium on April 13 by the SOCl6lI1eS and classes Marrying Off Father a one act play was perhaps the most outstanding event of the evening The little skit was highly entertaining The Athenian and Shakespearian put ona Negro Minstrel The black faces made the aud1tor1um ring w1th their melodlous songs The other planets were represented by the Pep Assembly quartet and orchestra the G S B Lit erary Society Nautilus and As You Like It Societies and members of the sophomore class The large crowd that attended the performance was quite enthusiastic in its appreciation of the program ONE ACT PLAY The Other Kitty was the one act play taken to the Warrensburg Contests one of those rare and really funny plays which acts itself The play was a much condensed adaptation of the enormously successful three act farce The Arrival of Kitty There were dramatrc sit Daniels Mary Eleanor Pruyn Joseph Hufferd Nolan Kuehnl and Edwin Hall The play was directed by Mrs Emma Mae Krumbach SENIOR CLASS DAY PLAY The Senior Class Day Play Backbone was given on May the eighteenth It was a very clever three act comedy written by Ross Farquhar The hero Wlllle Scott is a timid young fellow who is really very capable but is taken ad vantage of by everyone because of his extreme backwardness in claiming his rights He has his horoscope told and it tells him that he is a born leader bound to succeed in everything he attempts to do This IS the making of hlrn and he fulfils the prediction to the letter and succeeds in business and also in winning a wife He finds out he really has a backbone Those who had parts in the play were Max Brauninger Frances Simms Hazel Vander wood Franklin Milton John Lynch John Owen Chester Smith Elman Morrow Margaret Hill Cornelia Lewis Myron Zerr Roger McClelland Clarence Dyer Orin Teeter, and Minnie Lee Standifer SENIOR PLAY The Patsy, the annual Senior Play climaxed all the productions of the year and was a decided success The play, a comedy, deals with a girl who was mlstreated by her mother and elder sister in the home, but whose father finally asserted himself and demanded Just1ce The humor lay ln the girl winning her lover through many clever schemes Helen Grace Bishop played the lead, as Patsy, 1n a skillful manner Edwin Ingram made an interesting hero The role of Grace, the elder sister, was played by Julia Lee Hersperger and the part of Billy Caldwell by Glen Crabtree The hen peeked husband Was lnterpreted by Jacob Dickinson and Eglentyne Blackburn was his overbearing wife Sadle Buchanan, a neighbor girl was portrayed by Mary Jo Hickman William Anderson was the taxi driver, Trip Busty and John Turner, O flaherty, the lawyer The play had many clever lines which won high favor with the audlence Much of the credit for the success goes to Mr Blevins Davis who dlrected the production Page 83 ' U - ,y - .

NN , ,J Girls, Athletic Department One of the outstanding features in William Chrisman High School is the Girls' Physical Education Department. The work in this department opened the year with an unusual amount of pep and enthusiasm. Under the direction of Miss S. Etta McAllister a great deal has been accomplished during the past three years. She has introduced new methods and made Girls' Athletics more effective from a technical standpoint, as well as making the work more enjoyable for the girls. ' The major points fostered in girls' athletics are the development of the body and good health which promotes the even maturity of the intellect. True sportsmanship is promoted and is the result of the whole-hearted spirit in which the girls enter into the daily work. Everyone is on the same level and has the same chance and privilege to get a letter M which is awarded to honor students. Opening the season is the anthropometrical test, one of the most important features on the year's schedule. This consists of testing heart, lungs, throat, eyes, ears, feet, spine and physical condition of the body and is considered indispensable as a safeguard of health. After the tests have been made the students are then prepared to take up Work in various fields. The variety which the department offers gives each girl a chance to do the thing most to her liking. Volleyball, baseball, and basketball tournaments are played after each game is thoroughly coached. From each class a Select Team of the best players is chosen from the regulars. These tournaments give a great deal of enjoyment to the girls who work harder be- cause of the rivalry existing between the classes. Thus, true sportsmanship soars high. Alter- nating with the games many folk dances are taught, giving grace and control of the muscles. xiii-ES?iTT'L':f1,irL' '-155.

It makes one pine for a chance to take Home Economics. Midst the delicious aroma of meats, vegetables, cakes, etc., the class members revel to their heart's content. It is a hungry person's Utopia. There have been sixty three girls and one boy enrolled in the three cooking classes this year. This is the first time a boy has been enrolled in a cooking class in William Chrisman. He has bravely broken the ice for other boys if they care to follow his example. A number of times he has proven himself especially helpful to his class by doing some task which was alittle hard for the girl members of his class to do. He also made a good grade record for himself. The cooking classes of 1927-28 have greatly enjoyed their teacher, Miss Vergie McCray. Miss McCray has worked faithfully and diligently with her classes and she has made the course most interesting and profitable to us. Our cooking course has been very broad. We have not only learned to cook food correctly, with or without following a recipe, but we have learned the food value of the different classes of food and just how each should be used. We have also made a careful study of all the factors which must be considered in planning menus in order 'to provide an adequate diet. The cooking classes this year have accomplished many things. The classes have had some very interesting projects and we have profited by our experiences in carrying out these pro- jects. Our biggest problem was the preparing and serving of the Third Annual Teachers' Ban- quet, which is one of our outstanding accomplishments of the year. One hundred and fifty- Page 86 Cooking Department two people were present at this banquet, so the preparing and serving of this meal was a big undertaking for our classes. After this banquet many favorable comments were heard about the food and our serving, so We felt glad that We did undertake this big project. Other experiments carried on by the classes were the serving of practice breakfasts and luncheons which were very instructive to us. Still another project was the serving of cafeteria luncheons to the students and faculty of the school. We made enough money from these serv- ings to send our contestants to Warrensburg. We have helped in every way possible to be of benefit to William Chrisman. When the Parent Teacher's Association, the Societies and play castes needed help in preparing their refreshments, we put forth our best efforts to help them. The cooking classes have had their worries along with their work. Miss McCray es- pecially seemed very much concerned over the absence of any of her pupils as she feared they were quitting school to start a laboratory of their own before completing their work in our school laboratory. An old saying tells us that, The quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Some of our girls seemed to believe this and we think practiced the art of cook- ery successfully, as they secured laboratories of their own before the year was out. l Now, we will explain how we got this write-up for the Gleam and that will conclude our story. Miss McCray asked each girl in the two classes which are composed of William Chris- man students to write a paragraph for the Gleam. Then she appointed a committee to receive these paragraphs. We, the committee, then selected and arranged these paragraphs to make our write-up.

Our ideals of government and our principles of religious toleration have ' reached 'a stage calculated to afford the opportunity for the greatest possible advancement ,S of which an individual is capable. Furthermore, we have developed a wonderful school system 11 to safeguard our heritage for future generations. It must not be thought, however, that these precious ideals have been developed only during the comparatively short period of three hundred and twenty-five years, since the first I English settlement in America. Our present standards might be said to have received their ,E first impetus when Alfred the Great, more than one thousand years ago, taught the principles of just government, popular education, and service to one's fellowmen. Since his time, great 1 strides have been made toward recognition of the individual. In 1215 A. D. the English people achieved their Magna Charta, and, at later dates, the Petition of Rights and the Bill of Rights. I Each embodied principles which were later to be made sacred to the heart of every American by the Declaration of Independence and by the Constitution of the United States. 3 Not only is there a vast background for our political institutions in the history of England, f but there may we also rind the secret of our antipathy to all interference in religious affairs. , From the Reformation down to the departure of the Pilgrims, our ancestors were educated to toleration by the needless persecutions of Queen Mary, the teachings of Lutherland Calvin, 9-Hd , similar infiuences, which forced them to realize that the salvation of the soul is an individual fi matter and distinctly outside the jurisdiction of governmental forces. Even after our fore- fathers came to the vast wilds of America, they were hampered by the traditions of England. M It was left to Roger Williams to show the growing colonies that religion should not be a matter 5 of each sect for itself in its own part of the world, as some of the intolerant Massachusetts ' Puritans believed, but that every man should tolerate his neighbor's faith. In his zeal fOr i religious freedom, Williams founded the colony of Rhode Island, dedicating it to -the people Of I every religion. His experiment was so new and radical that complete success did not attend the project. It was the duty of Thomas Hooker to lay the principles of Connecticut on the i theory of absolute separation of church and state and pure democracy, embodying 111 her , charter forms of government which we all hold dear today. Our treasured democracy was longer in coming than our equally precious religious freedom, because many of our great leaders, influenced by aristocratic descent and English beliefs and traditions, even for a short time after the framing of the Constitution, -thought the common if people thoroughly incapable of self-government. Their creed and that of every aristocrat was 11, admirably expressed by John Winthrop, one of the first governors of Massachusetts, when he l wrote to a friend that In any group, the best part is the lesser, and of that lesser part the least 4 is the wisest. 1 I Our Declaration of Independence was the first document to set in concrete form our belief P that all men are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are X life, liberty, and the pursuit of happinessv and that the function of a government is to secure 1 these privileges, not to abolish them. For every one of our ideals, some 0DPI'6SS10H may he ' ' cited as a beginning. Free speech was incorporated in our standard of ideals before the Pil- ll K grims left England, and that right has been fought for many times since. The dissolution of Y X47 the New England town meetings by George III was one of the most flagrant infringements of .ill Eli the right of free speech and did much to impel the Northern Colonies to war. Every American A demands that he shall not be taxed unless he is represented in the governing body. Our l3os- ton Tea Party showed once and for all the intention of every Amerlcan to fight for that right. f lr, ,L 532QffExgifs?:?2,?--iiiitiieffiff-??-e-1+1FEi'?'3'??7r'2Defi?--Y-4.-.,. 4- ,' i -fl--f-a+fg44 --.' .-.e.1:':1ge -'--f ' W f--:.:. .eeztffiiif-15Qj5 LQ , , W.

Trial by jury has been secured and will be zealously guarded as long as the government shall exist. At the same time that the Revolutionary heroes were fighting for their immediate rights, they were also establishing public education, the perpetual guardian of democracy. Schools, both public and private, flourished throughout the colonies and produced a type of citizen which has never been surpassed. Ever since the adoption of the Constitution, our country has been divided into two political parties, each favoring somewhat different ideals of government. When Washington formed his first Cabinet, he put JeH'erson in as Secretary of State and Hamilton as Secretary of the Treasury. The battle between the group led by Jefferson, who favored a federal government, and the followers of Hamilton, who favored a national government, began immediately. Jeffer- son believed in states' rights, favored the agricultural class, and desired a simple form of govem- ment, whereas, Hamilton believed in the supremacy of the national government in all affairs and favored the commercial or wealthy class. The parties have alternated in power until our government, today, is a combination of the best features of each. Besides our ideals of internal rule, we have also developed many precedents for our inter- national procedure, such as Washington's NeutralityProclamation and the Monroe Doctrine, which have undoubtedly saved the American continent years of war and strife. Through all the years, while the groundwork of our future greatness was being laid, our forefathers in their struggle with the untamed wilderness were developing another set of stand- ards,standards of character, which were to determine the nature of the present citizens of the United States. In their confiict with savages and with the forces of nature, Washington, Ham- ilton, Jefferson, Greene, Lewis and Clark, Boone and thousands of others, by so doing, were developing that courage, resourcefulness, integrity, and individuality which have made the United States a powerful nation and a mighty people who occupy the position of highest im- portance among the nations of the world today. i.. 11 Southern Gardens U.

Florida means everywhere blue skies, orange-trees, and blosoming rose-bushes. Upon , - Pagasi entering this fruitful land, gorgeous flowers delight the eye. Pink and gold cassias, wonderful oleanders, and the stately bongainvilleas seem strewn carelessly, yet splendidly, about. There are open Spanish plazas, flanked by Spanish-Moorish ruins, which are riotous with the bloom of the varicolored hibiscus, while flaming red poinsettias, having climbed to the top of the ancient walls, gaze triumphantly and haughtily down upon the lesser plants. Live oaks heavy with Spanish moss and decked with mistletoe hang over sleepy streams that come from everywhere and meander nowhere. In the twilight the night-blooming cereus scents the sea-breezes as they sweep inland, with a magic perfume. Every garden is surrounded by palms, reiiecting their exotic beauty in tiny lakes. In Louisiana many of the old gardens planted by the Creoles have disappeared, and num- bers of those remaining are neglected and weed-grown, yet one is indeed charmed by the beauty displayed. Around some of the old stone houses are high, board fences, over which the garden's fruit- trees may be seen-pomegranate, peach, banana, fig, pear, and, particularly, large orange-trees. Even the tiny frame cottages boast diminutive garden plots, always surrounded by close board fences. An ancient willow droops over the cottage roof and, through a crack in the palings, glimpses may be had of a fig-tree, thepale green clump of bananas, the tall palmetto with its jagged crown, two orange trees, holding up their arms to the sky, twisted, blossom-laden crape myrtles, the broad, crimson mass of the many-stemmed oleander, and the crisp boughs of the pomegranate, loaded with freckled apples, and with here and there a lingering, scarlet blossom. The great villas and mansions of Louisiana were built midst wondrous gardens, and many a spacious veranda of a country home is surrounded by the sparkling foliage of magnolia and bay. Near the doorway of one old mansion lilacs and fiower-de-luce have sprung upg smilax, plumed iron-weed, and pink spiderwort cover the groundg the bind-weeds run everywhere blooming as they rung and on a dead cypress a giant creeper hangs its green burden of foliage and lifts its scarlet trumpets. Sparrows and red-birds flit through the bushes, and dew-berries grow ripe underneath. On the banks of the Bayon, Italian villas are approached through long avenues of pecan trees, and the gardens are inclosed by thick, bristling hedges of yucca, bearing spikes of ethereally beautiful, waxen, white flowers. Under the spell of warm southern nights these gardens take on new splendor. As one passes along a lonely, half-lighted walk, a mocking-bird begins the first, low, fiute-like notes of his all-night song in a huge orange tree overhead. Pushing open a tall, grass-grown, iron gate in the Wall, the traveler sees before him, much obscured by its own shadows, a broad, ill-kept, many-flowered garden, among whose untrimmed rose-trees and tangled vines, even in the walks of pounded shell, sturdy weeds blossom forth. Near the gate is a clump of jasmine, whose ravishing odor is temptingly sweet. Just beyond is a brightly moonlit path, which curves toward the residence, and the side entrance into the garden is partly over-arched by a vine-covered trellis and partly by a crape myrtle, whose small, polished trunk supports arustic seat. Around the mouth of the Father of Waters great courtyards are stretched open for all the world to enter and see-the figs, pomegranates,bananas,'crape myrtles, and oleanders, glittering in their dew. Such are the Creole gardens! The most well-known and, to my mind, the loveliest of all Southern gardens are the beautiful Colonial gardens of the Carolinas and Virginias. A splendid tribute to Washington's and his wife's good taste still exists in the Mount Vernon flower garden, which in many details is precisely as it was in their day. The mansion itself stands upon an eminence overlooking broad reaches of the Potomac and the gardens surrounding it are by far the most interesting part of the whole grounds. They were laid out in a formal style of walks and beds, defined by the then fashionable hedges of box, which still grow luxuriantly and are kept as Well-trim- med as in the olden days. In early summer they are a marvel of fiowers and beautiful foliage. In an enclosure between the lawn and the negro quarters is a rose garden, containing specimens of that rose named by Washington for his mother, and others bearing his own name and that of Nellie Custis. With such a rose garden, it-is no wonder that one of the regular afternoon pleasures of Madame Washington was to gather rose-leaves to make rose-water for her friends. The Vineyard Enclosure in the rear of the kitchen was devoted more to fruit and vegetables, Page 90 yet was a charming garden, too. So great was the beauty of these Southern gardens and so vast the love they provoked in their owners, that in more than one case the life of the garden's mas- ter was merged in that of the garden. The garden at Mount Vernon is probably the oldest in Virginia still in original shape. The home of Joel Chandler Harris in West End, Atlanta, comprises several acres of ground, with ample opportunity to live among the pines, grow flowers in abundance, and treasure the wild things growing close at hand. The house, which is back from the street a leisurely dis- tance beyond a few gradual terraces, is surrounded by a dark oak grove. Much of the old- time charm still remains in the beautiful gardens and there are trees that catch the eye and linger in the memory-a fine specimen of holly and a tulip poplar tree-filled with singing, nesting birds-mocking-birds, cat-birds, and wrens-all joining in an invitation to rest in the fragrant shadows of this quiet nook. Another interesting spot is found upon making a visit to Montpelier. In June the roses are in bloom everywhere, and honey-suckles, spilling over the fence, give the whole country- side a delicious fragrance. At the rear of the house lies the garden which Mrs. Madison made her especial care. The path leading from the house to the garden is bordered with thick-set hedges of box which have now grown to a height, in some places, above a man's head. These hedges shut out the sight of the garden until one is close upon it, when it is spread out in all its glory. It is said that Madison planned the horseshoe terraces in imitation of the galleries of the Hall of Representatives at Washington, and the parallelograrn lying below to represent the floor of that house. Under Mrs. Madison's supervision the chief gardener planted, tended, and watered the flowers, gathering those which were to perfume and brighten the square saloon. Most of the garden was filled with tall rose-bushes and pink oleander blossoms which were Mrs. Madison's favorite flowers. Thomas Nelson Page was born at Oakland, one of the Nelson plantations in the upper end of Hanover. It was not a handsome place, but in old Virginia it passed as one of the best plantations in the region. In Page's youth the yard and garden contained about four acres surrounded by pyracanthus bushes, whose thorns were a terror to barefoot boys, and whose radiant glow of coral berries was a delight to all admirers of bright colors. In this hedge mock- ing-birds, cardinals, and thrushes delighted to show themselves. The garden lay in front of the house, occupying the southern slope toward the far edge of the yard, in shape it was ellip- tical with the broad side facing the front of the house some hundred feet away across a soft green sod, and the entrance was through a wicket gate. Japonicas, rich in calico colors, grew near the gate, almost meeting overhead. Walks, between the borders and sections, gave access to different parts of the garden. The most luxuriant of all the roses, of which the garden seemed overflowing, was known as the Offley rose, from the home of that name in the neighbor- hood. All the seasons are represented in this garden. Lilacs, syringas, forsythias, bridal- wreaths, and spirea usher in the spring with beauty and charmg sweet shrubs and chrysanthe- mums deck the autumn borders, even winter is represented in the holly and pyracanthus berries. The place itself is named for the great oak-trees which, spreading their long arms about the house, shelter nearly half an acre apiece. The climax of magnidcence in Southern gardens, however, has been for years at Magnolia- on-the-Ashley, the ancestral home of the Draytons since 1671. The natural appearance of this region is still that of a God-made garden, a paradise where man walks reverently. The forests are set with live oaks, huge arched limbs sweeping the earth with long festoons of moss, and in every direction straight pines range themselves into natural aisles, through which glimpses may be had of wild azalea, purple Judas trees, and white dogwood. Overhead, everywhere swing bridal wreaths of white cherokee rose, and the patient yellow jessamine clambers into the tall trees to crown them with golden diadems. Middleton Place, though more formal in type, is stepped back gradually into untouched forest, flower beds project in scattered groups among virgin pines, and native flowering trees are so placed that no one can say where man's garden ends and God's begins. It is impossible to describe the affluence of color in this garden in spring- timeg masses of unbroken bloom on giant magnoliasg vast camellia japonicas, looking, leaf and flower, thoroughly artificial, as if made of solid wax, splendid crape myrtles, those strange flower-treesg mammoth rhododendronsg azaleas of every azalea color,-all surrounded by walls Page 91 J A f' TS sk- ' - K of the golden Banks1a roses and hedges covered w1th Jasmme and honeysuckle It 1S sa1d that the French botan1st Andre Mlchaux also mtroduced here the Japanese varnlsh tree, the Chmese candleberry tree the Japanese g1nkgo tree the As1at1c acacla and the Chmese azalea In these Ashley Rlver gardens nature and llfe seem almost blended mto one harmony Festoons and flames of color 1n azalea camell1a and w1ster1a procla1m the Joy of l1fe but on every hand cypress and oak anc1ent and gray w1th pendant moss are symbohc of age and the 1nev1table end There 1S a year round processlon of Howers Camell1as beam late 1n November March and Aprll form the Sp1'1I1gf6StlV3.l of azaleas and mountam laurel whlle all through the sum mer months there 1S a success1on of roses and the a1r IS filled w1th the hea fy perfume of the glant Magnoha grandlflora and blended 1n wlth these major notes are alway the heatherbell and hawthorn lotus and 1r1s Altogether th1s wonderful panorama makes the most wonderful gar den of the South posslbly of the whole earth It IS one at wh1ch to marvel and to admlre a slght wh1ch never can be erased from the memory A Garden the dream1ness of a summer nwht the m1st1ness of sllvery moon hght f1lter1ng through the huge oaks and dr1ft1ng w1th l1nger1ng touch over the softly swaymg moss to rest mlrrored m the deep qu1et pool the gently st1rrmv breezes waftmg won derful fragrance through the shadows the overpowerme sweetness of the rlght Jasmme glant magnohas creamy petals matchmv moonbearns floatm f to the earth floods of fragrance Jasmme rose magnoha mtermmgled Then from a ne1ghbor1ng th1cket the mockmg b1rd Wlld6St of smgers Sw1ng1ng aloft on a w1llow spray that hung o er the water Shook from hxs l1ttle throat such Hoods of del1r1ous muslc That the whole a1r and the woods and the waves seemed sllent to llsten the st1llness of marvelmg leaves the s1lent rapture of the blossoms e famt sparkle of fresh dewdrops, h1d1ng 1n flower cups magnol1as the hauntmg w1st fulness of a blrd s melody moonl1ght There 1S nothmv loveher than a Southern Garden at n1ght' ,dfff ,Q,jf-' ,I Page 92 gg?-1?:fi 'fiiiee-41-143-Tiiiil-F77 is 5 ' 11313741 'iriif '.:1:::2:4.'.gg3.l-'Z'- 3- fx 9' t R E Us af .

Entertainment Glen Crabtree The Athenians have made excellent progress this year under the guidance of Mrs. Emma Mae Krumbach and Mr. Prewitt Ewing, their advisors. No plays were allowed to be given by the societies so the main achievement of the Athen- ians was taken away. This also made it impossible for the Athenians to give the annual inter- society mixer. - Although almost each and every member of the society has been connected with many other school affairs they have maintained an intense interest in the literary development of the society. Interesting programs were given in weekly meetings. Many programs were also presented in assembly. Some of the Athenians who have won distinction in Chrisman in other ways are: Orvar Swenson, student president the first semester g Noland Kuehnl and Richard Harrington, senior class presidents 5 Benson, Brocaw, Chinnery, Curtis, Etzenhouser, Langton, McCarroll, Owens, and Parker, football lettermeng Benson, Cook and Parker, basketball lettermeng Clow, Crab- tree, Harrington, Swenson and Zerr, members of the National Honor Society, and Keuhnl and Swenson, debater and orator respectively. Benson and Cook were placed on the All Star Basketball team of the Big Seven Conference. Every contest and activity of the school had Athenian representatives entered. They are interested in the welfare of Chrisman and loyally support her in all activities.

Emina Shank Jean Davis Strother Treasurer Martha Basye Helen Grace Bishop Sergt.-at-arms Alice Marie Proctor As a society, the As-You-Like-Its have had an exceedingly profitable year. As no big society plays were planned this year, the dramatic club was not able to show its ability in this wayg however, two very entertaining assemblies were presented. The first program consisted of good musical numbers and several readings, while the second was an amusing sketch, depict- ing, in many unique situations, the days when our parents attended school. The club also presented a small sketch in the inter-society contest on Valentine's Day. ' As to individual members in the society, the achievements have been many. Julia Lee Hersperger, Helen Grace Bishop, and Eglentj, ne Blackburn were chosen in the cast of the Senior playg Carol Davis and Aileen Hutchens helped to win success for the Junior Class in its production, Turn to the Rightng Cornelia Lewis took no small part in the Senior Class Day Play, and Mary Eleanor Pruyn played the heroine in the one-act play which was sent to War- rensburg. So much for our dramatic efforts. Two As-You-Like-Its were chosen as candidates for the W. C. H. S. queen. The choice of the Juniors was Twyla Roney, while the Seniors promptly elected Eglentl, ne Blackburn, who was successful in the contest. Helen Grace Bishop was elected for the honored position of Secretary for the Student Body, and another of our girls, Mary Eleanor Pruyn, went to Warrensburg as our representative for girls' declamatory contest. ' Nor did the As-You-Like-Its fail to win laurels in the English department. Elizabeth Smith, by the excellence of her work, won the Lincoln medal given by Sturges Jewelry Com- pany for the best essay upon the life of Abraham Lincoln, and Emina Shank won first place in the U. D. C. essay contest on Southern Gardens, receiving first prize of ten dollars. As a whole, the members of this society have received many well-earned rewards for the year's work. Are We not justly proud of our society and its members?

Membership Hazel Sutton Sponsors-Miss Eva Fitterling, Miss Elizabeth Heidelberger The Nautilus Literary Society, organized 1920, was the first girls' society in William Chris- man High School. The original membership was twelve. Now, in this year of 1927-1928, the membership totals forty-three. The Society has given two programs in assembly this year, a negro minstrel and a musical program. The society also puts on regular programs each Wednesday. Five names are drawn from a box at each meeting and it is up to that five to furnish a program- for the following meeting. ' - An outstanding event in the society this year was a reception given by the Nautilus girls for their mothers. An interesting and entertaining program consisting of readings, dances, and music was given 5 after which cake and brick ice cream were served. The Society has also held an open meeting for the girls of the high school and the girls, societies. Miss Matilda Brown was the speaker. In a contest for the best five minute program put on in assembly by the different societies, the Nautilus won second. At Thanksgiving and Christmas, homes were made more cheerful and happier due to the eiforts pf the Nautilus Society. The Nautilus is represented in the National Honor Society by Marie Blackburn, Elsie Brune, Frances Simms, Minnie Lee Standefer and Arline Nelson. The Society wishes to express its appreciation to the sponsors, Miss Eva Jane Fitterling and Miss Elizabeth Heidelberger, and hopes that each girl will be benefited by the experiences gained in the Society.

During the last nine months the society has presented two assembly programs, one the pep assemblyfo the Lexington football game, the other a one act play entitled Twelve Old Maids. The girls are also proud of their victory in the inter-society Valentine Program. At the first of the year, the society marched in a body in the centennial parade, arrayed in their uniform of red and white. At Christmas a needy family was adopted and provided with cheer and comfort. The Shakespearians have been guests at two slumber parties given in honor of their new members. To raise funds they have sponsored two candy sales. The weekly society meetings have been of a profitable nature to the girls, especially the open meeting given for all the girls' societies in school. Members of the S. L.

Society First Semester Office Second Semester Emily Blackmore President Mary Clark The E. B. S. Society was organized last year by Supt. E. B. Street, for the purpose of bring- ing together a large group of non-society members and undertaking such activities as would be for the development of each member. The society, in pursuance of this object, has had a profitable year, under the sponsorship of Miss Potter and Mr. Hanthorn, first semester, and Mrs. Rowe and Mr. Hanthorn, second semester. One of their activities was a trip around the world, taken by travelogues. Altho taking no conspicuous part in the school activities, the society has supported them by their presence, both at games and plays, also selling refreshments at one of the games, and some plays. They are expecting a greatly increased membership next year and hope to become a real asset and a permanent organization in the school.

Since that time 92 students have been elected to membership. The members are now selected from the upper third of the Senior Class. This year's mem- bers were selected in two groups. At the end of the Junior year Orvar Swenson, Marie Black- burn, Max Brauninger, Elsie Brune, Frances Simms, Mary Jo Hickman, and Jacob Dickinson were elected by the committee. In March thirteen more members were elected,these being Cornelia Lewis, Franklin Milton, Naomi Williams, Minnie Lee Standefer, Arline Nelson, Richard Harrington, Helen Grace Bishop, Clarence Dyer, Myron Zerr, Ernest Ruppert, Arthur Clow, Glen Crabtree and John Turner. This year the society of '28 celebrated the anniversary of the Honor Society by entertain- ing the alumni members at a reunion April 6. Everyone heartily enjoyed himself and was glad to get back to the school and renew acquaintances. Many requested that the affair be made an annual one. About 60 alumni were present.

B1 Weekly Gleam Staff First Semester The Bi-Weekly Gleam for the first semester was under the supervision of Marie Blackburn, who was elected editor-in-chief by the student-body at the' close of last year. She chose as her 'assistant editor Noland Kuehnl and as her business manager Richard Harrington. Robert Alexander and Edwin Ingram were the ones delegated to find the advertising news. One of the unique things of this Gleam was the type of advertising used, which was in essay form. The sport news was concocted by James Gardner and Jacob Dickinson, who kept the paper well Iilled with peppy writeups. Elsie Brune gave the student-body many interesting news items about what the societies were doing and Margaret Hill wrote news of those who have graduated. A new position on the staff was created first semester, that of personal editor, whose busi- ness it was to find personal news of interest. Opal Smith filled this position well. The jokes, which were extremely good, were the result of much labor on the part of Minnie Lee Standefer. Other schools camelto know what Chrisman was doing through the exchange which was hand- led successfully by Florence Willard and Alice Hacker. The heavy work, as usual, was done by the reporters who were asked to do everything and did it willingly. Helen Davis, Mildred Hanthorn, Franklin Milton, Kathleen Heiderstadt and Jack Chiles were the ones who held the positions of reporters. The work was neatly copied by the typists, Arline Nelson and Stella Scheperclaus, who thus helped the printer a great deal. If it had not been for the splendid direction and help of Mr. Blevins Davis the paper would not have been the success it was, and the staff wishes to express its appreciation of his untiring interest. . 3 1 Page 104 Bi-Weekly Gleam Staff Second Semester Whatever success the Bi-Weekly Gleam has achieved the second semester is due to the entire staff as a unit, under the advisement of Mr. Blevins Davis. The staff assumed duties immediately upon appointment and work went on smoothly, without a break. Franklin Milton, the editor, chose Maude Louise Hartman as his associate edito gether they selected the following staff. Advertising Managers ............... .......

It has done its very best in every way to make a school paper just what it should be and feels that it has succeeded very Well under the circumstances. We feel certain that next year's staff will have success in making the school paper of the best school in the state, the best school paper in the state.

Blanche Crabtree The Spanish Club, otherwise known as 'fLos Pensadores Castellanosj' was begun in 1926, under the leadership and able sponsorship of Mrs. Hugh L. Thompson. This year it has con- tinued under the guidance of Miss Elizabeth Heidelberger. During its existence the club has put on several entertainments in assembly and also outside the school. The most recent of these was a clever one-act play in which several of the members of the club displayed their talent. Considering the size of our club, we are proud to say that five of our members were in the contests in Warrensburg, and also some were in the all-school program. The coming year we hope that we shall have more members and be an established society in the school as long as the Spanish language is taught.

We have been parading straight toward our goal for an ever better Gleam. The call of every school activity has been fully answered so that every member of Chrisman's student body may truthfully call this book his own. The staff has worked hard to do its bitg we have been just the very best little staff that any annual ever had. And how could it help but be so good, with that ever-conscientious Jake punching and prodding us on to Work all the time. But after all it's been a lot of fun, we've enjoyed every staff meeting and every little quarrel and fight we've had. Those little prod- dings and lectures our editor has given us shall remain forever a sweet spot in our memory. I guess that's all. Our work is finished. We are going to leave our Gleam for you. and may you like it, as we have liked to make it.

' And he opened his mouth and taught them saying: 1. Blessed are they that throw paper on the floor or on the school grounds for they shall be calledtidy and receive a high grade of 0. 2. Blessed are they that talk back to the teachers for they shall be soothed with a board and shall receive a high grade of 0. 3. Blessed are they that write on the desks and others who sit on them. They that write or carve their names on them shall inherit a high grade of 0. ' ' 4. Blessed are they that sing, hum, or talk to themselves when in class for they shall be called insane and shall be filled with joy. They shall be rewarded 0. 5. Blessed are they that walk heavy across the fioor for it proves them to be well fed and they shall be rewarded with the highest grade in the room-0. . 6. Blessed are the pupils that make google eyes at the teachers for they shall be rewarded with a black eye and a grade of 0. 7. Blessed are they that chew gum for it shall prevent them from having good lessons and shall give their mouths practice to yell for the teams. Keep it up. You shall be champion yellers and receive a grade of 0. 8. Blessed are they that fuss and quarrel in school. High School wants to be credited for turning out quiet husbands and wives. They shall be graded 0. 9. Blessed are they that set tacks on the seats for unwary pupils for they shall receive a sharp sensation and a grade of 0. Therefore rejoice ye and be exceedingly glad for your humble teacher will give you an average of 0 on your reports. If you love your teacher keep his commandments. , 3- ' a Page 116 W. C. H. S.
