DICKINSON An Appreciation Our Annual would be incomplete without an expression of our appreciation of the work of the Board of Education of Independence. We feel this an opportunity to tell those who read our Annual of our gratitude to this body, which make our educa- tional opportunities possible. We know of the long sessions of planning for our interests. We know ofthe responsibility incumbent upon you of eHiciently spending your time to select one- hundred thirty-six teachers and principals who are foundto be qualified to aid us and give us inspiration for our life,s work. We are proud of the excellent building we now enjoy and we appreciate your recent work in submitting a proposition for a loan that a more adequate place maybe had for the everfincreasing numbers taking work in the industrial and line arts, aswell as academic work. All of this you have done for us freely, cheerfully, and unselfishly. We trust our actions will be our best means of giving this spirit of gratitude, expression: and that you will ever feel that your efforts have not been in vain. We sincerely thank you for your thoughtful consideration of our welfare and pledge to merit your continued confidence. El XR Page Eleven .f is .

Y, I Administration JKNJU A High School education is now deemed indispensable to young people who 'ex- pect to enter any business or profession. - ' ln the competition to be met throughout life, aggressive, thoughtful, and precise estimates have to be made in order to succeed in any line of work. - Some who cannot remain in school until graduation do achieve success in life, but they are students who possess rare qualities of attention to detail and an indomi- table will-power. The High School plan is the shortest one to the goal because problems are met in class discussions which are but cross-sections of life. The classmate is the future part- ner, or competitor, and with a knowledge of his reactions, and with ability acquired from teacherfguiclance, the graduate of a High School has a distinct advantage over the non-graduate. , Let each Freshman, then, determine to become a graduate. Forty-tvvo subjects are offered in our High School, and the most critical student surely should be able to select a course of study to suit his individual interests. A Well selected line of endeavor means a better foundation, a greater appreciation of values, higher ideals, and preparation for a more purposeful life. ln choosing a pro- gram let us not forget the adage, The busiest person at the foot of the ladder will not only climb higher, but will also be found the most efficient one at the top. We should be grateful, to those Whose means and foresight have furnished buildings, materials, lesson plans, and guidance, to our parents for the opportunity given us to secure a High School education. Youth is the period when we are best suited according to age, physical develop, ment, and awakening ideals, to put forth our best efforts to prepare to live and co- operate with each other in the future.

She seems to possess the superhuman ability to stretch dollars. Any student who has ever had the privilege of being lviiss Chiles' pupil will answer that in her mathematics classes acquisition of knowledge and enjoyment are combined. As a Senior sponsor, all those who have not been taught by her have learned to love her for her kindness and willingness to help. An inseparable association is r Williani Chrisrnan and Niiss Chiles. A ' ctz-iss HISTORY The fall of 1926 found a bunch of green bewildered Sophornores straying through the halls of Chrisman, stumbling through the high school song and yell in assembly, and timidly making acquaintances among the teachers. We started work in a businessway by electing john Shawhan president of our class, and Mrs. Krumbach and Mr. Endicott sponsors. We began our social life by entertaining ourselves at a Hallowe'en party in the Studyl'iall,which set our standard ofsuccess for ensuing activities. ' After recovering from the thrill of St. Nicks' visit, we again assumed a serious mien, and began a very successful second semesterlunder the guidance of Merrell Pratt as president. ' Our outstandin g accomplishment was to beat the Seniors in a ticket selling contest, and as a reward usurped their seat in assembly for two weeks. Thus ended a prosperous year for the Sophomores, and we felt that after a year in Chrisman our brilliant hues had become vastly subdued.

Besides his work as a teacher he has been an untiring promoter of every school activity. As one of the Senior sponsors, he helped to make the class and its undertakings suc- cessful. I-Ie has assisted in every production sponf sored by other departments and has worked hard in behalf of the Oleam Stafl. As a teacher, his Sophof more, Junior, and Senior English classes are testi.- monies of his ability. Altho his students sometimes stagger under the weight of required notebooks, they unanimously agree that Mr, Davis is a fine teacherf, For the juniors and Sophomores there is another year or two of association with him. CLASS HISTORY VJ hen the school year again rolled around, we had thrown aside our childish Ways, and became the all-important juniors. We began our busy year by electing Ivlargaret Williainson to the chair, and Miss I-Ieidelberger and Miss Witt as sponsors. Vv'e immediately made ourselves felt by both selling and buying enough bi-monthly subscriptions to save the Crleam from utter ruin. We then proceeded to win the interclass ticket-selling contest. The second half opened with the election of Cassell Barrett as president, and the ensuing semester was the most successful ever experienced by our class. The annual junior play, Turn to the Right , proved to be one ofthe best presented in Chrisman. The climax of the year came with the juniorfSenior reception, which was commonly acclaimed to have been the best reception in the history of Chrisman. As Seniors, our accomplishments are recorded elsewhere in this book. SENIOR CLI-XSS OFFICERS -ai Second Semester , PRESIDENT ,,,,,,,,,,,,, ..... R OBERT ALEXANDER VICE PRESIDENT ...... .....lc..

DALE PIGG Mr. Pigg is another of William Chrisman's new teachers, and one who from the very first be- came a part of our School. He gained immediately the friendship of those who had the good fortune to be closely associated with him, and more gradually the friendship of those who were not in hisclasses. He comes from Vsfilliam Jewell and carries with him all the capability andenthusiasm of that in- stitution. This year for the first time a third year Spanish class was organized. The Spanish Depart- ment, as a whole, made much progress with his help. He also taught an English class. With the co--operation of Miss Lucas, the junior class was Well sponsored. 1 ,f X.

This year the Juniors have taken an oumtanding part in the school's activities in each ofthe departments. They shine in the held of athletics, having furnished excellent material for the football, basketball, and track teams. Numerous and important positions on the Gleam staffs have been held by members of this class. lt has furnished several very entertaining assembly programs. Another conspicuous example ofthe Work of this class is its scholastic achievements. A large per cent of the Juniors are on the Honor roll, and have been very outstanding in the literary contests. The Music department, also, shows a large enrollment of this class, having representatives in both the boys' and girls' quartette as well as the orchestra. The huge success of the Junior-Senior reception is but another tribute to the ability of the Juniors. W'hen an S. O. S. call is heard, the juniors are 'there with their earnest cooperation backing all projects.

This year marks a distinguised ex- ception to this rule, for that honor has been absorbed by the intelligent Juniors. To prove this, we point to the overwhelming victory of the juniors over every other class in the U. D. C. essay contest as an example. In this contest it was juniors that won first and second place, and two won honorable mention. The essay title was Matthew Fontaine Maury . Elizabeth Burgess was awarded first, Elizabeth Smith second, and Martha Bayse and Clifford Long won honorable mention. Besides our outstanding ability in literary lines, we have been recognized in music for our talent and in athletics because of the ability and endurance of our mem- bers. 'Member how Kenneth Curtis and Joe Benson used to hit that line ,how Manny Etzenhouser covered that ball, how Beal, Barker, and Maxon held that line. Joe Benson has made the basketball team for two years. Again, Manny Etzenhouser appears in track as a longfwinded runner. Look to our music department-Juniors still in thelead Ctake note Seniorsj -who plays in our Pep assembly orchestra other than our Merrill Etzenhouser, Homer Kelly, and Burl Shirk? Oh yes, remember in our operetta it was Merrill Etzenhouser and Maurine Nate-two juniors that had the leading parts. Look at our famous orchestra. In this we are represented by memberswithoutnumber. Re- call who represented us at Warrensburg in the girls' vocal solo contest. It was Maurine Nate. Also, two Juniors represented us in the mixed quartette. It has not been our purpose to heap laurels upon our heads, yet it must be re- membered that the Juniors have won the highest honors in every field. We saved the reputation of the basketball team, we are essayists par excellence and the annual Junior Play, Easy Payments ,was up to the usual high standard of the Junior play, and last but not least,the musical ability of the Juniors is unsurpassed. lf, Page,Forty-Three Qophomores Ukf The Soph ,mares A' husky lot, The Soph'moresg A noisy bunch, T The S0ph'moresj Assembly halls 'most burst their walls, ' H When they pipe up- The Soph'mores.

Scholarship pportunity E unctuality onor Urganization COURTNEY SMARR A valuable contribution to William Chrisn1an's faculty this year was Miss Smart. Altho it was her first year as a teacher in this school, she has rnade the most of her time by increasing her circle of friends and adding to the knowledge of her pupils. Those who had commercial Work under her guidance were especially fortunate in that they had a better opportunity to be' come acquainted with her. Those who were not in het classes came to know her while she was on duty at regular intervals as a hall pattolrnan. By the ex- periences of these times,when she reminded us- that the halls were not lobbies and centers for conversations, We judged that We'd take her as a teacher. The Sophomore class found her a capable and willing sponsor. Page B'Ol'ty'SlX I Fjxflj l 1 0 I Sophomores Y H W Ki. -e -fdiififvi, 'ww G. .4a5I5il .. ,rosaeg ., X ,fy I .

The history of the Sophomore class this year is a series of successful ventures and activities. lts members have established forthemselves a record of undisputed suprem- acy, and have proved themselves not to be the Hpitiable and helpless objects that the upper classmen have been wont to consider'them. ln trying to estimate the value of the accomplishments of the Sophomore class this year it will be necessary for usto make a complete analysis of their work for the year '28-'Z9. First, let us take the field of music. The Sophomores are represented in the quartettes by Margaret Quinn and Crville Martin. They also have many members in the glee clubs, and were well represented in the Warrensburg chorus, as well as in the orchestra. Also, the accompanist for all the musical contests was a Sophomore. In the held of sports Chrisman has found that the Sophomores are invaluable. JOHN M. P. MILLER 1 William Chrisrnan was fortunate this year in securing Mr. Miller as a member of its faculty. He is a graduate of Kansas University. The subjects he taught this year included the social sciences, history, economics, and sociology. -Those vvhophave had the- good fortune of having him for a teacher will agree that from his courses theyureceivedna valuable under- standing of the subjects he taught. Long after the Seniors have passed from thehalls of Chrisman they will remember Mr. Miller's grin. W'ith the assistance of Miss Smarr, the Sophomore class has been ablyspon- sored.

' Debate is another held in which the Sophomores make themselves known. Albert Nigh and Maurice Peiser are two of Chrisman's most promising debaters, while the Forum records show a large enrollment from the Sophomore class. This class has an enviable record in the literary field as well as in the various other lines of activity, as is shown by the fact that a good many of the important positions on the Gleam staffs have been held by Sophomores. Sophomore dramatic ability has been displayed in many assembly programs and in the various school plays. The Sophomore party was but another evidence of the ability of this class. The Sophomores have learned the truth of the old maxim: lf you wish to come out at the big end of the horn, you must go in at the little end. And their accomplishments are only the beginning of a great work which will not end with this school year, but will go on as long as they remain members of the student body.

The purpose of it was to create a greater interest in diet and general health conditions. The proceeds which amounted to onehundred and 'six dollars were used to pay for the gas stove that had been purchased by the Parent Teachers' Association and on which only one payment had been made. The class also supported the other activities of the school by buying and selling tickets and bringing candy for the different plays.

This league is .known as the Anti-Cigarette League. The ideal which the league upholds for its members is, Ha clean life, and the boys feel that they have something really worth while to strive for. The purpose of the League is to help all boys to refrain from the use of tobacco and the membership of the League for the year 1928-1929 is 96 percent of the boys in Junior I-ligh School, or 518. The League was organized in 1920 with the help of lvlr. lvlorris and Mr. Lavelle. The organization, started with the idea that boys could do better work and have more wholesome fun if they were free from the effects of nicotine. The boys banded together for mutual aid and all members pledge that they will not use tobacco and that they will lend their influence in keeping other boys from using it. The members also try to pre- vent the merchants from selling cigarettes to minors. The ruling body of the League is a congress composed of one representative from each home room. This congress takes care of any issues that come up, and pledges the new members, plans the assemblies and other activities for the boys. Max Smith, Pres. A. O. CQ A. Club In the fall of 1923, the girls of junior High organized the Four Square Club, having A. O. Q. A. as their syrnbolicllettets. The purpose was to promote co-opera- tive, good fellowship and such ideals as are in keeping with the highest type ofAmeri- can girlhood. The Club has grown until now it has a membership of about four hundred fifty girls who are working together for the betterment of junior l'lighSchool. Toward this we have, this year, helped to buy the motion picture machineg song books for the auditorium, books for the library, and stage furnishings. ' The annual party, an event of much interest, was held November 13th at the Campus. The A. 0. O. A. play, Chl Cal, told the story of Bob Nlatthews who had fled to a village and assumed the name of Donald Clark and, with the name, the Guardi- anship of Betty Ann Stewart whom he supposed to he about ten years of age. Bob and Whirlwind Betty Ann with the aid of the other characters furnished laughs and excitement in abundance and a nice sum for the club treasury. , During the year the Club has had several special assemblies. Perhaps the most outstanding being when Nlrs. H. E. Fairchild of Kansas City gave an interesting talk on Leisure Time. , lt has been the duty and pleasure of the Club to help organize clubs in several of the ward schools.

There were enough players from the last year's team to start the season with experienced men. Junior Stafford was elected captain. The first game was scheduled with Sugar Creek and a team of Seventh and Eighth grade players was formed to play them. There was not an experienced player on this team and they lost to Sugar Creek 13-8. This was the only game that the Seventh and Eighth grade played with other schools. Ar the end ofthe season the Seventh played the Eighth grade, the Seventh winning 10-9. In a preliminary to the Chrisnian-Marshall game the Sophomores won by the score 19-18. Two games with Lees Summit junior High were the only games Junior High could get with teams of their own size and class. They won both of these games by the scores of 23-14, and Z6-13. In a preliminary game to the ChrismanfSedalia game Junior High went considerably out of their class and were beaten by the South Methodist team 22-6. The last game was played with the Sophomores, the Freshman winning 13-S. Eleven letters were awarded: Ralph Snively, C13 Paul Page, G, Le Roy Nesbitt, C13 Junior Stafford, F, David Smith, F5 James Hicks, Cr, Harold Turner, F, jean Childs, F, Fred Chapman, G, Cecil Parrish, F, and Ervin Teeter, G. A large measure of the success of the team is due to the excellent coaching of Mr. St. Clair. He has taken a personal interest in every member, and has developed a squad which should gladden Coach Lee's heart. The support of the students has also been commendable.

Possibly noclass in our Senior High School can boast of greater achievements than the Freshman Class of Junior High School. To cover all the Works of the class would fill a book bigger than the dictionary. Besides their own various activities, such as the very successful Freshman play, and the excellent basketball team which the junior High' School put out, they have found time to back every activity of the Chrisman I-Iigh School. They have furnished members for the William Chrisman orchestra, glee clubs, and quartettes. They have given unfailing aid to every play that has been put on. 'They have been ardent supporters of the athletic teams, and the Gleam Staffs. The achievements of the Freshman Class this year have been very noteworthy, and the prospects for their future success are limitless. . Page Sixty V U 1 .aw 5 TTZAZJTTT Freshmen I-gr -. r r.

Looking into the future, from past experiences, l see our boys and girls become juniors, Seniors, College men and women, and then--the business world. Yes, to be sure there is need for the English, the Nlathematics, the Science, the His- tory and all the rest. But there is also the need for a continued lasting friendship formed during the association of the boys, girls, and the teachers of the Freshman year. V As often as we look at this section in the High School Annual may pleasant memories come to us ofthe Freshman class of 1929.

LEE ' i Whenever you see an unusually large congrega- tion of both boys and girls in the halls at school, it is certain that in the midst of the throng is Coach Lee. ln fact, as a hall policeman he is a failure, because in- stead of urging pupils to class, his magnetic personali- ty attracts them from their classes to him. In this briefspace it is impossible to estimate the value of Mr. Lee's services to the school. The records of his foot- ' ball, basketball and track teams are indications of his ability as a coach. But in coaching athletics he does not neglect his duties as a teacher. This year he had three gym classes each morning and a biology class in the afternoon. But as a coach he is best known. Athletics Cut athletic season started with football camp at Bean Lake. A week was spent at this beautiful place getting in shape and learning some of the big problems of foot- ball. Upon returning, work started in earnest. The team this year was almost wholly a defensive one. It seemed like the scoring was always performed in the early part of the game. However this method proved a very successful one, for Chrisman averaged eight points to a game while our opponents averaged 6-7. The Big Seven Conference Football Championship was captured when Sedalia was downed 6 to O. ln basketball the boys kept up the old fight. We were defeated by Lee'sSummit but in the return game they were downed. Sedalia beat us twice but we returned the defeat by winning two games from them. Our victories were very splendid and usually by a large score. Not only did we win the Big Seven Conference Basketball Championship but we captured the Marshall Tournament, won Znd at Warrensburg, and 3rd at Columbia, and went to the National Tournament at Chicago. The same success was met in Track as in the other branches of athletics. Chris- man won meets with Lexington and Northeast and Sth at the Kemper meet. At this writing the other meets have not taken place but we are looking forward to the best. .

' H During the year the club has been very busy with athletics, so no regular meetings were held. However, this did not hinder its Work. Several assembly programs have been given during the year. The ticket sales for some of the games were handled by the club although Miss Chiles had charge of most of them. The C Club is very deeply indebted to her for her splendid management of the athletic finances and wishes to thank her very kindly for her help along this line. As for social activities the C Club has had several. The first occurred during football season. lt was in the form of a Weinie roast which was held at Adam l-lill Memorial Park. A truck took a load of boys and girls out and the rest went in private cars. Every one had a splendid time, and training rules were not broken,either as the party broke up in time for the boys to be in bed at ten o'clock. Then the next social function was the C Club banquet, prepared by the G. S. B. society. A wonderful meal was served and a general good time was en- joyed by all. The captain for next year's football tearn, Merrill Etzenhouser, was elected at this banquet. Another interesting part of the program was a short talk by each of the seniors present. Some showed clearly how much better they were at football than talking. The banquet was enjoyed greatly by everyone present and the C Club certainly appreciates this pleasure given by the G. S. B's. So with the success of the various athletic teams and all the other things just named, we'll say goodby to a Very happy and prosperous year. f' H 5' ff?

Undefeated and scored upon but once. Victors of every contest in which they were engaged with the exception of one which resulted in a scoreless tie. Winners of the Big Seven Conference in which the following schools are also contenders: Lexington, Marshall, Odessa, Slater, Higginsville and Sedalia. Placers of more men on the mythical Allfconference team than any of its rivals. Surely but few, if any, pre- ceding Chrisman football machines can display such an enviable season's review. ' Although at first sight it would seem that there were a large number of men lettered, second thought will reveal that all letters were earned. The Bears had two distinct teams, both equally capable of launching a powerful offensive or of throwing up a stubborn unyielding defense. Qften one team would batterand hammer the opponents' front line to shreds and then at the half the other team would carry the game to the enemy with an entirely different style of attack. The Bears were not satisfied with having closed the season with a perfect record, but were further honored by having three of their number chosen for the first All-Conference team and two for the second. joe Price at right end, Grant Morgan at right tackle and Jodie Benson at quarterback were given first honors, while Elbert Petre at right guard and Howard Maxon at left tackle were given positions on the substitute team. Of the Z9 men who received letters only 11 will be lost by graduation. They are: Grant Morgan, Giles Andes, Ed Hall, Windsor Parker, Joe Price, Cassell Bar- rett, Lloyd Willoughby, Thomas McCarroll, Russell Resch, Harvey jones and john Modie.

For those- who had entertained any 'doubts as to the value of the week's encampment the game speedily dispersed them. The game opened with the Bears receiving the ball on their own Z5 yard line and marching straight down the field and scoring with line plays and end runs. Each score of the game was the result of the Bear quarterback, Doc'i Benson, trying out a different style of attack and we wonder what the score would have been if the Bears had had more styles of attack. Ioeljrice, Bear sprint star, was the outstanding player, scoring two of the four touchdownsrand furnishing the thrills of the game with his spectacular end runs from the peculiar formation that enabled the Bears to hand Smith-Cotton their bitter defeat of last year. Kenneth Curtis and 'LMika Westwood accounted for the two remaining touchdowns and Westwood also made one successful try for point.

They were our first conference opponents and were de- termined to play such a defensive game that although they would be unable to score we would also be held scoreless. Even at offense they were a much more efficient opponent than Manual although they did not attempt much of this style of attack. The Blue and Gold machine did not function as smoothly as usual, and it was not until late in the first quarter that the Bears were able to score. The first score came on 21 pass from Benson to Mccarroll after a series of end runs and line plays had Worked the ball down to the 35 yard line and the Lexington team had tightened up tostopthe line plays. The second and third quarters were uninteresting and played mainlyin the center of the field. In the fourth quarter Morgan was shifted from tackle to full- back and in a series of Iinc smashes he ripped and tore the light Lexington line to shreds and scored the second tally for the Bears. Both goals were kicked which made the score i4fO. A very interesting thing and something which sets an all time record is the fact that the Lexington team failed to advance the ball a single inch by scrimmage or passing the entire game.

Parker, endg Price, halfg Hall, centerg and Linson, half, were unable to play on account of injuries which they had received in practice and in the Lexington game the previous week. ,I-lowever, it was a determined squad that faced Slater that day and that determination allowed them to send Kenneth Curtis crashing- over for a touchdown early in the second quarter following a series of passes and delayed line bucks which apparently be- wildered the Railroaders, and then throw up a defense which Slater was unable to cope with. Following the Bear score Slater launched a desperate Offensive which was only stopped on our own 23 yard line. The Bears punted and never afterward was the Bear goal line in any danger.

As Odessa failed to score either, the game ended in a scoreless tie. The game was played on a field that was a quagmire of Water and mud ankle deep from a rain that had begun the Thursday before and continued throughout the game. The game was entirely free from thrills as neither team could employ anything other than straight football. Every advance that Odessa began was ended by the exceptional punting of Bud Parker and the stellar secondary defense of the Bears. It was not until the last quarter that Chrisman succeeded in getting within threatening distance of their opponents' goal. A pass, Benson to Price, put the ball on Odessals ten yard line with a first down. Benson, realizing that there were but a few more minutes to play, passed over the goal line to Curtis on the first play. lt looked like the game was ours, but alas, the mud-cased ball somehow eluded Curtis' clutching fingers and thc opportunity was gone. The game ended as it had begun, with both teams deadlocked in the midst of an ocean of mud. 1 K X ' H 9' Page Seventy-One Boys' Athletics H g, if c L af.

The game was played on Saturday and as there was no school the Bears had almost as many backers as the Owls. In this game the Bears reached the zenith of their performance, and led by the brilliant and versatile Grant Morgan, they plunged and passed and dashed to a 19 to O victory. Only the stonewall defense of the Owls in the third quarter held the score to as low a figure as it was, as the Bears smashed at the Owl front line on two occasions when a break on the Owls' part would have rea suited in a Bear tally. Even this decisive score does not tell the story of how -complete- ly the Owls were outplayed. Grant Morgan made two .ofthe three touchdowns and the other was annexed by a pass from Benson to Price. Curtis added an extra point after the last touchdown by kicking goal. Page Seventy-Two If ,, x ,aw 5 If ll Boys' Athletics I ,V C.

Feeling was exceptionally high as neither team had been defeated hereto- i 31 fore and both factions were confident of victory. The initial quarter was chiefly an exchange of punts between the Higginsville quarterback and our own Bud Parker, Ji ,l in which the latter heldaslightadvantage.

Early in T the second quarter, Higginsville found itself backed up within the shadows of its own T goal and was forced to punt. Snatching the ball from mid-air on the enemy's forty ll l' yard line, Kenny Curtis, Bear fullback, raced for a touchdown behind quickly formed interference. Grant Morgan added an extra, and what proved to be the win- ' ning point of the game, by kicking goal.

The conditions were exactly the same as last year. Sedalia had not lost a game and victory in this game would give them the championship with a clean title-a loss would place them in a' tie with Marshall. This year it was reversed with a loss putting us'in a tie with Slater and a victory giving us the championship. The game was played in a high Wind which made punts and passes hehaveerratically. Sedalia received the kickfoff and took the ball on their twenty yard line as the kick was over thelineg Sedalia started a drive which was not stopped until they had carried the 'ball to mid-field where they were forced to punt. The Bears hy end runs,off- tackle smashesg and center plunges worked down to the Sedalia goal line where Benson skirted the right end for a pretty dash of about 15 yards for the Bear score. The try for point was ineffective due to the extremely high wind sweeping the field. The remainder ofthe game was played in the middle ofthe field.

The game was the most exciting of the year and the final score' was Lees Summit 16g Chrisman 15. ODESSA-This was played at Odessa and our defence was so tight that the Bull- dogs didn't know what to do when they had the ball in our territory. The final score was 43 to 15. LEXINGTON-This was our second game with Lexington andlas a result of their earlier defeat at our hands they were thirsting for vengeance, but alas-for them, the game was ours by the score of 36 to 16. SLATER-This was also the return game with Slater and was played at Slater on their small court which slowed the Chrisman offense down during the first quarter, but after this the Bears got up steam and sailed through the last quarters to win 54 to 32. MARSHALL.-This was our third game at' home and was our first experience with the Owls. Last year the Owls were our jinx and before the opening whistle unrest was felt in every Bear heart but as soon as the game was under way ease was felt as the end was indicated. The final score was 34 to 14 with the Bears holding the big end as usual.

The final score 48 to 18 was an indication of the Bear ability to repeat on a different siie 'of court. 'ODESSA-The Bulldogs arrived fighting mad and determined to stop the Bears, but that is all-they only arrived! The first quarter served to cool their ardor and the remainder of the game to freeze them to immobility in comparison to the Bear stampede. The final score was Chrisman 56, Odessa 8. ' MARSHALL-The game with the Owls was the last of our road tilts and the Bears proceeded to pick the Owls early in the game before the open season on Owls should close. An early lead enabled the Bears to win 34 to 17. SEDALIA-This is a sad story of how an angry Tiger whose tail had been twisted earlier in the year sought retaliation and despite Bear efforts to the contrary succeeded in tweaking the.Bears nose at the rate of 36 tweaks to 29 twists.

The Bearrelayteam lost to Sedalia by .4 of a second. Thomas Bates was going strong and well out in front in the 880-yard run whenhis leg muscles knotted on higri, and he was forced to drop out. As the Bears had won over Sedalia at Liberty and won over Sedalia Won over Chrisman at this meet, the Big Seven meet at Sedalia should be an opportunity for revenge for the Bears.

The Bears won the meet with 452 points to Sedalia's 44X which added the final Big Seven Championship to the Bears, laurels, having already won the Football and Basketball Championships. The meet was an uphill battle for the Bears the entire way, and before the last event, the javelin, started,the Tiger tracksters were out in the lead with a six point advantage, and it looked as if the Tigers had the meet sewed up. ln the javelin,however, the tables wereturned when Willoughby and Petre with a first and second nabbed the counters, which de- feated the Tigers by one point and gave the victory to the Bears. Willoughby's throw with the javelin of 177 feet 2 inches not only broke theConference record by 10 feet 5 inches, but it is only 8 inches short of the National record: Eight new records were established in this meet, four by Chrisman, two by Se- dalia, one jointly by Marshall and Qdessa, and one by Slater. Besides Willoughby's achievement, Joe Price set a new conference record of 10.2 seconds for the 100-yard dash, Thomas Bates set a new mark of 53.3 seconds in the 440-yard dash, and the Bear relay team set a new mark for the 1000-yard relay of 1 53.3. Joe Price, track captain, was high point man of the meet with 10 points. Again we have twisted the Tiger's tail and tweaked his nose. gf Page Eighty-Three irls Athletics X-1 rr' LJ t, k.JElJ-S-Cqx UK, MARY BERNTSEN lt would be a drlflculr task to estvnate the number of frrends Mrss Berntsen has acqu1red 1n Wlllram Chrrsrnan durrng her frrst year here The gxrls who drd not take Gym thls year do not understand what they mrssed Gyrn was really an hour of pleasure to be looked forward to each day Asal1yg1ene1nstructor boys too had the prrvrlege of knowrng her Her classes were 1nterest1ng and 1E was fun to count rrhs and name nerves with her drrectron We all agree that the Board of Educarron displayed excellent Judgment when they selected NIISS Berntsen as a mem ber of our faculty FOR GIRLS If you can dress to make yourself attractive, 7? , --U 'NV :xt 22 ll' N J., 'Yet not make puffs and cu1 ls your chief delight, If you can swim and row, be strong and active, But of the gentle graces lose not sightg If you can dance without a craze for dancing, Play without giving play too strong a holdg Enjoy the love of friends without romancing, Care for the weak, the friendless, and the oldg If you can master French and Greek and Latin, flnd not acquire, as well, a priggish mieng If you can feel the touch of silk and satin Without despising calico and jeang If you can ply a saw and use a hammer, Can do a man's work when the need occurs, Can sing when asked without excuse or stammer, Can rise above unfriendly snubs and slursg If sometime you should meet and love another flnd make a home with faith and peace enshrined .And you its. soulf-a loyal wife and mother- A 'You ll'work'out pretty nearly to my mind fl plan that's been developed thru the ages, And win the best that life can have in store- 'You'll be, my girl, a model for the ages- Y 'fl woman whom the world will bow before. -Otis.

The girls' gym department has been given little recognition of its many achievements. lt has been a great aid in the forwarding of the healthy idea being the best one. When a girl can enter into any sport and obtain a great deal of en- joyment as well as physical aid, something has been accomplished worthwhile. Une of the most important things which is encouraged in this department is the high ideal of sportmanship. Sportmanship plays a prominent part in every game or activity in which the girls take part, such as basketball, volley ball, base- ball, teniquoits, etc., in every competitive game a girl's sportmanship qualities are given a rigid test. The various parts of the year have their respective activities in girls'athletics as well as those of boys. In the early part of the year's work they enjoy the basket- ball season, while later the season of baseball, etc. ' Toward the latter part of the term the qualifying for the state letter M is begun. Each girl receiving this honor must fill requirements just as rigid as those by which the boys are tested. Several hundred points may be gained by sportman- ship, scholarship, correct posture,swimming, hiking, etc. All the points are not required but about 500 can be elective, thus giving the girls a-chance to show in- dividuality in the choosing of the activities in which they are most interested. f The May Frolic is the big event in the Gym activitiesfor the year, This, coming toward the latter part of the year, is merely a culmination of all the work and practice of the previous year. ln this May Frolic the girls who have excelled in some special game or folk dance are selected for the special features of the pro- gram, and they therefore have a great interest in the perfecting and presenting of the program.

A ' ' ' ' Cperetta Carrie Comes to Collagen, the annual operetta, was presented by the High School Glee Club on January 18-19. Merrill Etzenhouser played the part of the ne'er-do-well, Spencer , whose manhood was finally brought out by ':Carrie , portrayed by Maurine Nace. Maurine Nace's sweet, clear soprano voice more than pleased the audience. The comedy end of the musical play was upheld by Evan Resch, who had a joke for every occasion, and Richard Kress, whose stuttering caused no end of laughter. Margaret Quinn, as Ma Jenkins , the landlady, was a uwow. l.aRena Bullard and Verljamison continually threw slams at each other, but in the end, they fell desperately in love with each other and all ended well. Be- sides the large chorus which helped to put this entertainment over, the following both acted and sang well: Delta Friend, Carwin Criley, L. E. Piper, Jamie McPherson and Elmer Larsen. The operetta was under the direction of Miss JessieSmith, assisted by Miss Mary Berntsen and Nliss Icile Barnes.

This year the orchestra was composed of thirty-six members. lt is very interesting to note how much the orchestra, in fact, the ventire music department, has increased in numbers since Miss Jessie Smith, Director of Music, has beeniin charge. The orchestra played for many outside activities, including every play except the Senior Class Play, besides appearing in assembly programs six times. This musical group had an unusually large repertoire of about thirty-five selections, including marches, Waltzes, overtures, symphonies, and operatic selections.. The Vlarrensburg contest number this year was the Will, iam Tell Overture . ' The Pep Orchestra, a smaller group of eight boys, furnished popular music for assembly programs, played at the Chamber of Commerce Annual Banquet, and in two High School entertainments. At the first of the year the Glee Club worked on concert numbers. About mid-year they staged the Annual Operetta, Carrie Comes to College . After they finished work on the operetta, the Glee Club immediately began work on their two Warrensburg contest numbers. There were about sixty voices in the entire mixed chorus, but in the Warrensburg chorus there were thirty voices.' The Girls' Quartet was composed of: lvlaurine Nace, first soprano, l.aRena Bullard, second soprano, Margaret Quinn, first alto, Pauline Crawford, second alto, . The Boys' Quartet was composed of: Arlon Chapman, first tenor, Richard Day, second tenor, Verl Jamison, first bass, Orville Martin, second bass.

They received a silver spoon for winning. Ruth made the highest test grade on the written work, while Muriel made the fastest record for changing the bed with a patient in bed. In Cooking, the team was composed of Hazel Eighinger and Louise Reeder. The problem was to prepare a luncheon, with the added task of having a toothless grand- mother for a guest. Hazel placed first in the examination, but in spite of this fine showing we did not place in this branch. A The Sewing team, composed of Berenice Koehler, Viletra Gates and Anna Kolle placed in that contest. This team placed first in both the examination and demon- stration. Eortheir fine examples of needlecraft they received a silver fork. SHORTI-IAND AND TYPING The Commercial department was represented by Twyla Roney, Martha Batter- ton, Erances Batterton, Arletta Danielsen, Erances Johnson, and Doris Long in typing, Ethel Stewart, Adelia Yankee and Sara King in shorthand. None of these placed in the contest. I SPELLING The spelling representative this year was Rolland Evans. Rolland placed second in the Hrst contest, and third in the second contest. PUBLIC SPEAKING Robert Alexander and Czuinn Bronson made their string of victories in debate total twenty-one consecutive triumphs without a single defeat, by winning first in debate. They received a silver cup. Paul Henning upheld our reputation on extempo- raneous speaking by winning first in that branch. Our second Daniel Webster received a gold medal for his efforts on the rostrum. Everybody was proud of Jack Chiles when he placed second in boy's declamation. Our other entry in declamation, Mary Eleanore Pruyn, reached the finals, but failed to place.

S. orchestra competed against Higgins- ville in the finals, and as usual took first place. Eor first place in orchestra the Music department received a silver cup. There were six choruses entered in the preliminaries. Three of these went to the finals, and we were one of the three. After going to the finals, the natural thing to do was to win. So we took first place, and another silver cup in so doing. Richard Day took first place in the boy's solo. By doing so he won a onefyear scholarship in vocal lessons at Warrensburg. Out of sixteen entries in the girl's solo, Maurine Nace placed second. Mildred Hill placed second in the violin solo. We did not place in the piano or with any of the quartets. DRAMATICS The one-act play, The Flattering Word , under the capable direction of Mrs. Krumbach, won first place and a silver cup thereby. The Elattering Word is the one compliment that has never failed. Tell any man, woman, or child that he should be on the stage and you'll find him quite as susceptible as a cat is to catnip' '. Blaine Bender portrayed the part of the actor who won the confidence of the minister, played by Edwin Hall, and Mrs. Zooker, taken by Kathleen Heiderstadt, by his subtle flattery. Mildred Hanthorn took the part of the minister's wife. Nannabell Cassell took the part of Lena, Mrs. Zooker's inquisitive daughter. . State ,Meet at Columbia This year witnessed our most successful endeavors atfthe State Meet so fir in the history of our school.. E I V n V H Q A if ln track, we placed fourth. Even though we did not place first, we defeated our' old rival, Sedalia. Lloyd Willoughby broke the established meet record in the javelin throw when he threw the j avelin 155 feet, 11 Z inches. Paul Henning, contesting in extemporaneous speaking, reached the finals but did not place. Much to all Chrismanites, surprise the one act play did not place. Everyone who had seen this clever play was almost sure of its winning. Ewart Ragan, our stellar pianist, measured up to our expectations by winning first place in the piano solo. Ewart also accompanied Gifford Edwards, who entered the violin solo contest. Gifford placed third. Muriel Etzenhouser was our representative in teacher training. We are sure that Muriel as usual did very well, and the fact that she did not place does not subtract from our appreciation of her efforts. Berenice Koehler and Anna Kolle represented the home economics department and Anna won a first place in the individual contests. Last but not least, Robert Alexander and Guinn Bronson won the state cham- pionship in debating.

' Cooking Department Hardly ever in a school's history does the Cooking department stand out so prominently as does Will'iam Chrisman's. There is always an overflow of students who desire this subject, and this year a boy proved himself a real cook. ' Canning, the making of gingerbread and pies, have been projects through- out the year. Ar Christmas time plum puddin gs and candies were made and sold in order to make money to send contestants to Warrensburg. Every aspirant in the art of cooking made his mother a pound box of candy, consisting of twelve assort- ments of candy, for Christmas. , s ' VERGIE MCCRAY ln that spotlessly clean room on first floor from whence issue all those tantalizing odors, reigns Miss McCray, Queen of the Kitchen. Under her ' direction our girls learn to become our future house- wives. Cooking is certainly an essential to living, and the way Miss McCray teaches it, it is both useful and enjoyable. Nliss McCray's willingness to assist in preparation for school activities such as ' banquets and dinners, has been greatly appreciated. This is Miss McCray's second year in Chrisman. j , Prior to her work here she taught in the ward schools of lndependence. fl 'QX N C, Page Ninety-Four 3c S-K ,Lfafd Departme nts X- 1 A i A f fx sl Q- Ley GBE-Avi Du R Leila to right:-Front row: Anna Kolle, Verna Lee Jasper, NeLeta Thompson.

Sewing Department This group of girls, about one third of all the sewing classes this year, is represen- tative of the Sewing department. Here the girls learn the principles of the work while making clothing which they need and can wear. Besides the hope of being sent to Warrensburg as a representative of the department, the Koehler medal, offered by the Koehler Jewelry Company, is also an incentive. Under the excellent supervision of Miss Chiles the girls learn the value of sewing and the enjoyment attained by work well done. We hope to have better and more adequate equipment next year in order that this phase of domestic art may increase as an asset to the school and to the students. , MARGARET Cl-HLES , A teacher who has accomplished much in pro- ducing girls skilled in domestic art is Miss Margaret - Chiles. She is fully capable of teaching her pupils how to sew and she makes the course so interesting that no one works because she has to, but because she wants to. No teacher could be more willing to help her students, nor more anxious for their success. She never scolds and her only reproach is Girls, we must be less noisy , or l.et's not waste our time. No wonder we love her. She is always willing to give her time in preparation for school activities. Any distressed sponsor finds a capable, helpful assistant in her. ln this department she teaches her girls , as she calls them, how to become womanly women, , , , , , . l along with their instruction in the art of sewing. m X X.

Art Department Qur Art department has grown decidedly this year. We have had two teachers and six hours of Art per day, instead of just four hours. As half of Miss Sampson's time is spent in supervision of Art in all our schools, lvlrs. Poleson has taught our afternoon Art class. We have had training in lettering, color, design, perspective, interior decoration, costume design, illustration, posters and some 'craftszfblockprfllting,jbookbinding''andg batikzg -- - - - ' - iv- The annual -Aft Play, 'The ' King's Ruby5',--'an-eoriginalu fantasy -written by a former art student, lim Ed. Spencer, was a success. The proceeds have added new pictures on the walls of our High School. NELLIE SAMPSON There has probably never been a school pro, duction presented which was not in some Way Cle- pendent upon the Art department and Miss Samp- son. ln planning a play or program her judgment is sought, and her advice at all times is excellent. As an art instructor many students have had the privilege of studying with her. She is kind and helpful, and every one of her pupils love her devotedly. The art room in the annex is an interesting place. NVith lvliss Sampsonis explanations it is also ed, ucational. There are few students in this school who have not, at some time or other, been helped by Miss Sampson. She is indeed a valuable teacher and friend. I .

PGLESON Each afternoon this year in the annex Nlrs. Poleson could be found helping and instructing her class of art pupils. Those who have her become better acquainted with her than most other people because she is very quiet and unassuming. But that doesn't mean that she isn't interested in school activities,because she is. She also had four English classes this year. Before coming to William Chris- 'man to teach she was engaged in school work in other schools in Independence. We are glad that she decided to become a faculty member of our These eight members of our administration represent a dependable and worthy element of our school. Although they are not class sponsors or leaders of organizations, their work in school activities is just as much evident and fully as much appreciated as that of the other faculty members. From day to day they aid their pupils in gaining the very most from the course. At any time they willingly respond to a call for extra help in the production of any activity or other under- taking of the school. The value of their assistance on such occasions is hard to overestimate. Five of these eight are teachers, and are well known to many students whose teachers they are. The other three are no less closely associated with the boys and girls of William Chrisman. Mrs. Nloore may not be a teacher but she is certainly an instructor, an instructor in the art of study and the virtue of silence, at least in Study Hall. Mrs. DeShazo, too,takes a personal interest in every student. And Mr. Duncan-well, VJ. C. H. S. wouldn't be complete without him. As we pass from the halls of old Chrisman, our daily association with our teachers may close, but their influence and their friendship will long be remembered. L. E. MORRIS S , ln one room of the annex there teaches a large, kind, jolly-looking gentleman. His name is Mr. Morris. He teaches Mechanical Drawing. For twenty years he has taught in the Independence School System, and for many years he has been a faculty member in William Chrisman. iviany students who have never taken the course he teaches havebecome hisi,friends.,--Hepis the sort .of friend' , one. likes to have. . . . . . ' No boy, or theoccasional girl, ' who- takes- vocational courses, has ever forgotten him nor has his or her regard for him lessened.

For the past two years she has taught shorthand and typing here. Her pupils find her an excellent teacher. Faculty members who have wanted typing done have found lvliss Vvfitt willing to help. Anyone who has been associated with Gleam work cannot overestimate her assistance in getting last minute copy typed. Her assistance has certainly been appreciated. Any student after finishing the course in commercial work has a solid knowledge ofthe subject and the remembrances .5-Xect'X 1 i l of a very helpful, conscientious teacher. MR. DUNCAN Although not a faculty member or a student, Mr. Duncan is certainly a part of our school. As custodian of all the schools, he has general super- vision over the janitor work in our educational system. But whenever he is wanted he can almost always be found in our building. I-le frequently is needed. He obligingly looks for lost articles, opens windows that stick, fixes broken furniture, in fact hc's such an all around man that a com- mon exprcsion is 'lAsk Mr. Duncan. He'll help you. Besides being a skilled supervisor, he is a most delightful man. I-le knows an inexhaustible number of funny stories. No student takes more active interest in school affairs than he. Few finish school without knowing Mr. Duncan. MRS. L. E. DESI-IAZO For the past five years Nlrs. DeShazo has been the office secretary in W'illiarn Chrisman. The duties of her position are many, but Mrs. DeShazo has always performed them capably. Whenf ever Nlr. Street or Mr. Hanthorn want special work done she obligingly helps. Any student desiring information finds a helper in her. She is always willing to look up schedules or help gather statistics.

BI-MONTHLY GLEAM STAFF W Zncl Semester The Bi-Monthly Gleam Staff of the second semester has very ably carried on the Work accomplished by that of the first semester. They have more than lived up to the high ideals set by their predecessors. They have advocated a better paper in every way, and have tried to exclude from it anything that was not of the highest standard. Under their editor, Guinn Bronson, they have given ardent support to all school Work and have boosted every activity. The varied accomp- lishments of the staff are a tribute to its ability and theappreciation of the school is unlimited. 1 GUINN BRoNsoN ll P Guinn Bronson was the Worthy successor of Florence Willard for the second semester. He has given unlimited time and work to the editing of the Glearn and, as his publications prove, has achieved great success. lt has been his endeavor to improve the Clleam in every way. I-le has boosted student activity, and has given editorial support to everything that forwards the interests of our school. He has also brought into our paper a per, Q sonal note which is greatly appreciated by the students. Guinn has been supported by a faithful staff and the co-operation. of' the student body.

LOUISE MACDONALD In losing a valuable teacher in Miss Margaret Phelps, we gained another excellent instructor to take her place- Miss MacDonald, As a teacher she is unanimously acclaimed a success. All of her pupils like her method of teaching and interesting class dis- cussions. Miss MacDonald did not begin teaching at W. C. H. S. at the beginning of the year, but in the length of time she has been here many pupils have be- come acquainted with her and have learned to like her very much. ln spite of the fact that the G.S.B.'s regret losing Miss Phelps as their sponsor, they feel fortunate in securing Miss MacDonald as their new leader. Miss MacDonald taught History and Civics this year. We hope that she may continue to be a member of Chrisman's faculty. ff' , X f'12,L -A 'X ,AZ ' R: ?'

Merrill Etzen- houser was Pres. of junior Class lst semester, while Kenneth Curtis presided over the Juniors the last half. ' AUGUST El-IMKE As an instructor in the Science department of our school, lVlr.Ehmke has taught many pupils the form- ulae and solutions to the mysteries of Chemistry. He requires the members of his classes to unclerstancl the 'Work thoroughly. l-le frequently oilers special ex- planations to those who fincl the subject hard. Along with the process of absorbing laws and atomic Weights, is enjoyment, because Mr. Ehmke has the ability to make his classes interesting. Proving that he is anxious to help those who like Chemistry ancl want to know more about it, most of this year he has had a special class after school in analytical Work. The 1 Athenian Literary Society has cliscoverecl. in him a l .3 very agreeable and capable sponsor. f X Page One Hundred , '7 ' ' 4: Ten ...,....,,,M Social - A it ---57' -'QVQ,J?:5V. f4Q,fQ?555 D UKJU Left to right:-Upper row: Twyla Roney, genie' Allen, Temperance Duckworth, Margaret Quinn, Ann Burrus, Glenna Strodtman, Laura Hickman, Frances Williamson, Verlyn Fligg, Rebecca Christopher, Elizabeth Kessler, Elizabeth Burgess, 'Marguerite Lynn, Adelia Yankee, Marjorie Thorpe.

EIVIMA IVIAE KRUMBACI-l 5 To fully appreciate Mrs. Krumhach's ability as a t teacher, it is necessary to have been in her class. lt is Q impossible to have her for a teacher and not learn the 'I fundamentals of English. The student who is Willing Y1'li t 1'2 ip to apply himself, she is more than willing to help in acquiring the greatest good from the course. Sopho- mores find the knowledge gained under her super- vision useful, and the students taking American and If V? English literature under her cannot fail to appreciate i the value of the subjects. There could be no better ,ili instructor than Mrs. Krumbach for the pupil who ' Q really desires to learn. Aside from her duties as a li A teacher, she was this year an active sponsor of the A A 0937 AsfYoufl.ilce-lt Dramatic Club.

For the second semester these oilicers were: Pauline Siegfried and Mildred Hanthorn. During the year the Shakes have organized an orchestra and presented two interesting assembly programs, one a unique one-act play entitled Shakespeare's Daughters . At the AllfSchool Program a charming Japanese Tea Garden was arranged. Besides these achievements as a society some of our individuals have attained high honors in music, dramatics and scholarship. ' ' ICILE BARNES ' Another teacher in William Chrisman who has won the affection of the students during her first year in this school is Nliss Barnes. As a history teacher, all who were fortunate enough to study under her, found her most delightful. I-ler in- fluence was not confined to the remote corner in which she taught. The Shakespearians were es' pecially lucky in electing Miss Barnes their sponsor before some other society did. NVith her help the Shakes7' have had an unusually successful year. lvliss Barnes was always willing to help them plan their activities and help to make those plans mate-- rialize. Miss Barnes is a graduate of the University l of Missouri. - .a 5 3 ., ,ff Page One Hundred ' X q' V Twelve Social A G ST ljlfg 'tsl Swag-reefs usa Left to right:-Upper row.: Thelrna Gibbs, Pauline Brune, Thelma Rader,Harriett Weatherford, Nannabell Cassell, Gwendolyn Tanner, Pauline Mericle, Ruby Ewin. - - Second row: Eleanor Riske, Marguerite Fieker, Ferne Russell, Annabel Nelson, Velma Scheperclaus, Lucile Williams, Lyndall Todd, Edith Sommerville.

At each meeting a program is given in which every girl must take part at some time. During the Festival given in the Fall,the Society had charge of Witclies' Hollow, where fortunes were told and strange glimpses of the Spirit-land given. The Society wishes to express appreciation to Miss Gibbons and lVlrs.Pole- son for their assistance during 1928 and 1929. MARY ALICE GIBBONS Une teacher in our school who is equally capable of teaching several subjects is Miss Gibbons. Her courses this year included history, civics, sociology . and French. VJ ith such a variety of classes, most students have had the opportunity of being in at least one of them. She had one French class this year and those who took the subject agree that French is an interesting language and that hliss Gibbons is an excellent teacher. The Nautilus Society was fortunate in having her for its sponsor. XVith her aid the society has been helpful and pleasur- able to each of its members. ,ff -get .

Romantic to look upon, and possessor of a lyric tenor voice, he needs but to strum upon a guitar to call forth imaginative scenes of old Granada and the moonfbathed gardens of Andalusia. So much does he resemble a Spaniard that Senor B. Davis introduced him at a recent party in Kansas City as his friend, Emanual Hernandez, nephew of the Nlili- tary Attache in Washington, D. C. Both Senores con- versed in Spanish much to the delight of the guests, who were not let in on the joke for several weeks. lf, by any chance, Senor Pigg does not return to Chrisman next year we will no doubt read of his successful exploits as a toreador, and as high point man in breaking feminine hearts in sunny Spain. f X, Page One Hundred Fourteen XM flcademic V A , .CC .. ., f- - ,W ' st ---+-QT'-1gYE'.,C 'QQ C35,jg1-sc-fx -e T Ukjf Left to right:-Upper row: William Bessmer, Frank Allen, George Marquis, Richard Kress, Josephine Chaplin, Natalie Jackson, Charles Allis, Joseph Dooley, Marjorie Thorpe,J.

The Latin 'Club ln former years, Chrisman has had a Latin Club, but this year is the first time that this organization has really become a live, working body. The club was or- ganized early in the year, having a large membership of over forty Latin students. The various programs of the club throughout the year have been very interesting and entertaining, including many novel features in Latin and several short plays. The successful Work of the organization must be attributed largely to the diligent efforts of its sponsor, Miss Singleton. ELLEN SINGLETON There is one teacher in our school who is so quiet that those who have not studied Latin in her classes perhaps have not made her acquaintance. But she is certainly a worthfwhile friend. Several times during the year she invites frank criticisms from her pupils in regard to the qualities necessary for a good teacher, and suggestions by which the subject can be made more interesting. She varies class recitaf tions in delightful Ways. This year another educa- tional, entertaining society was organized,-the Latin Club. This organization was due to her efforts. Her large alternate Virgil and Cicero classes are a good indication of Nliss Singletoifs pleasant per- sonality and her ability as a teacher.

The Forum The Williani Chrisman Forum, organized for the purpose of sponsoring all public speaking activities and developing its members along forensic lines, has been one of the most active clubs in the school during the past year. lts success in sponsor- ing Chrisman's debates and putting on some interesting assemblies and other school activities may be attributed to its presidents, Guinn Bronson and Kathleen Heider- stadt. The credit of its fine attendance record and excellently kept minutes goes to the secretaries, Lois Turner and Ellen Nelson. The wonderful success that the club has met with throughout the year comes as a result of the hard work done by Mr. Ewing, the sponsor. ' PREWITT EWING ln the two years that Mr. Ewing has taught in William Chrisman he has contributed much to its success. As an English teacher hc has instructed his class members in such a way that they realize his value as a teacher and a friend. I-lis work in school is not, however, confined to class room instruction. By his suggestion and under his leaclership,The Forum was created, which has developed into one of the most eduf cational organizations in school. lt would be dilhcult to overestimate his influence and help in developing our debaters. Each Forum member realizes the worth of his constructive criticisms. He has proved himselfa valuable addition to Chrisman's faculty and a great as help to students who have been associated with him.

National Honor Society The William Chrisman High School Chapter 266 of the Nacional Honor Society was installed under the direction of Miss Mabel Potter in 1924. Mem- bers are elected on the basis of Scholarship, Leadership, Character and Service, and are chosen by a faculty committee. I At the end of last year, Florence Willard, Jean Davis Strother, Nannabell Cassell, Helen jasper, Bertha McKinley, Merrell Pratt, Guinn Bronson and Robert Alexander were elected to carry on the society for the following year. This year, Adelia Yankee, Mary Gough, Kathleen Heiderstadt, Rozella Adams, Ethel Stewart, Aileen Hutchens, Mildred Hanthorn, Jewell Adams, Almer Sheehy, Paul Henning, Bryant Goodman, Carl Wattenburg, Glen Brauninger and Blaine Bender were elected. MABEL POTTER Students passing through the educational process of W1 C. I-I. S. have sooner or later come in contact with Miss Potter. Those who have not studied under her have probably been sent to her for information, for she seems to have an un- limited supply. She is the Teacher Training in- structor, and each year she produces several teachers for future work. This year she also had a piane geometry class. Miss Potter is very interested in honor societies and due to her efforts our chapter of the National Honor Society was organized. She was instrumental this year in organizing the Quill and Scroll. Her work in behalf of the Bi-Weekly Gleam has also been of inestimable value. Page One Hundred ,ff -- X Seventeen t 4 an srgff,-ffrZW .
