DICKINSON An Appreciation The beginning of all virtue is gratitude and we want you, as our Board of Educa- tion, to know we have gratitude for the opportunities you have made possible for the children of Independence. These twelve years of education have been spent in one of the best school systems of the state because of your planning and work. The forty-two units of work you have offered gives us a course of study that meets the needs of our capabilities and capacities. This gives us a larger opportunity to meet our needs than have the boys and girls, as a whole, throughout the state. Our trophy case is full of cups and emblems of victory over our competitors. We ascribe much honor to our Board of Education for securing superior coaching and training in these activities. You have furnished us excellent leadership through our faculty. We recognize that the two great functions of public education are scholarship and dependableness. Your faculty, both by example and incitement to duty, have maintained a high standard of scholarship as attested by the alumni of our school. We know you have been in long sessions, planning for new buildings, selecting teachers and arranging for equipment. We do appreciate all this and await our chance to exemplify it in service in this or some other community. You have made William Chrisman one of our state's leading schools. THE GLEAM 15 We, the Board of Education, wish to incite the outgoing Seniors to such enter- prize and attainment as is set forth in the following example of achieve- ment: Young Robert Barrett, upon leaving college, had entered into the business world with such knowledge, energy, and enthusiasm, that in a few years he was able to point with pride to a certain flourishing enterprise, which represented his own splen- did success in the commercial field. Great was his popularity-and yet there seemed to be a false note in the speeches of congratulation. Finally his chum voiced the un- spoken question existing in hearts and minds of all his friendsg why had he located his industry in a place other than his home town. The answer was swift and scornful. I gave the citizens of this town a chance at it, he said, with a steely glint in his keen eyes. I knew its possibilities and hoped that we might all benefit from it, it only needed a little time to get started and more capital than I had to start it. I gave them the chance-and of them all, old Thomas Whitney was the only one who failed to demand ten dollars clear profit as soon as he laid one on the table. Quickly he threw off his tense earnestness. Today Tom Whitney is sharing the dividends, while the others are only wish- ing they were. Certain lines, that you, too, may know, have remained in my memory because of their aptness, and he quotedslowly: 'Oh, if we draw a circle premature, Heedless of far gain, Greedy for quick returns of profit, sure Bad is the bargainf H Many of the financial troubles of the world today are due to the greed for quick returns. People are no longer content to await the slow, sure processes that argue for safety in business or investment, they are too eager to snatch at get-rich-quick schemes that invariably turn out get-poor-quicker plots. They -look vainly enough to see big profits before the ink is dry on their signatures to the little check of investment. They insist upon drawing the circle of finality swiftly and closely about their deals, heedless of the gain that might be theirs were they content to wait for it. Rome was not built in a day. So in our modern world, nothing worth- while is gained, nothing valuable is won without a great amount of toil plus perse- verance. Men get to thinking, quite wrongly and foolishly, that they must see at once the good accomplished. Little do they realize that to every ounce of energy expended toward the goal, there must always be an equal amount of patience applied. These lessons and experiences are priceless to the development of the individual. AEsop, in his Fables , left to future generations a classic example of the far gain . I-low much better it is to follow the pace set by the slow tortoise ofsteady progress, than to gallop side by side with the hare of speculation. As we well remem- ber, Slow and Steady wins the race. And that victory will be well worth winning. THE BOARD or EDUCATION. ! I If! ll HE GLEAM 16 T MR. STREET ln every line of activity there is always one who must forge ahead of the others and make it possible for them to achieve success. As Superintendent of the Public System in Independence, Mr. Street has aptly executed this role of leadership. Possi- bly there have been times when a prudent decision seemed diPncult but sooner or later we have learned to depend on Mr. Street to lead us out of the maze of gloomy defeat into the light of victory. 1 x X , , L x THE GLEAM 17 Our School System Cut school system has done its best for e1chSenior, doing more for some than for others according to their willingness to receive and to be interested in what the school tried to do. Each year finds our schools better able to do the work for which they were Ls- tablished, and each year they assume other tasks which are helpful to the pupils in meeting life's problems intelligently and happily. Each year new buildings are erected, new and better equipment is added. The course of study offered is enlarged or changed to meet the varying needs, better methods of instruction are used in the school rooms. Each year new clubs and extra activities are organized to foster interests not helped by classroom work. The faculty from the first grade to the Senior teachers encourage extra school activities. Both time and energy are gladly given that the pupils may reap the benefits from exploring new fields and from trying themselves in new experiences. These results are due to the fine spirit of cooperation existing in the whole school system, among the patrons, the faculty, and the administrative officials. The school has a just right to be proud of its products. They have trained them- selves in the essentials of real life, leaving the fads to others. They go forth from our doors and the reports of their successes are in keeping with the work they did in our school system. I 18 THE GLEAM MR. I-IANTI-IORN An outstanding personality and pleasing character dominates our revered friend of high school days. What student has not been faithfully, successfully guided over many a devious path by this wise counsellor. Ever a companion to all, Mr. Han- thorn has exhibited that quality of leadership which has brought faculty and class- mate to work in harmonious accord with the high ideals of Chrisman. His willing cooperation in all activities has lent a certain lasting charm to his principalship. l l x i lll X2 .li l i ' I lxi THE GLEAM 19 A Remembrance I appreciate the request coming from your editor-in-chief to submit a few words containing a truth of outstanding importance to serve as a token of remembrance and as'a good bit of philosophy. Perhaps you remember in our assemblies and on all occasions, and sometimes when there was no occasion, that I gave emphasis that all joy must come out of the accomplishment of some worthy task. I like such ex- pressionsas battle, struggle, contest, high endeavor, for it is out of the furnace of every conflict that joy and education come. I submit this brief poem of Walt Filkin as a much finer statement of this ideal than I have at my command. ' A MOUNTAIN FLOWER Upon a craggy mountain side A fragile, dainty blossom grew, The elements it had defied, Time's gifts to it had been but few. It there had struggled weary days, Had met each storm and angry gale. Lik: one it was who fights and stays, Its language knew no word as fail. At last its face burst forth to see The view magnificent and grand, All housed 'neath I'Ieaven's canopy- Somehow it seemed to understand. The one who bravely meets each day Life's battle from its craggy side Will blossom forth some lovely way, The world its beauty cannot hide. Rare loveliness is added when The fight is won against great oddsg And counted is the winner then As one who's had the smiles of gods. ,X 20 THE GLEAM Student Body Government lt has been the custom of the Student Body for several years to elect a Student President to guide them through the many complicated problems which arise during the school year. During the first semester of the 1929 school term a new L'Point System'7 was adopted by the students. This was for the purpose of distributing more evenly the different important offices of the classes and organizations. The different offices were divided into major and minor groups. No individual could have more than one major and two minor offices and no more than three minors during the whole school term. - f The major group is made up of, Presi- dent of Student Body, Student Body Secre- , tary, Editor-in-Chief of both Annual and Bi-Weekly Cvleam, Class Presidents and Captains of the various athletic teams. The minor group is made up of the Presidents of the different societies or clubs. , The Student President must be a boy from the Senior class. I-le must be a good leader, student and capable of presenting interesting assembly programs. lt is his duty to call the student body to order, when they assemble in the auditorium for pro- grams, and conduct the prepared program which is being given. A Student Body Secretary is also elected by the students. This office must be filled by a girl from the Senior class. Her duty is to write up the assembly programs and turn them into the newspaper office and also to keep a record of them in the school office. . An Editor-in-Chief of the Annual and Bi-Weekly Crleam are other very im- portant ofhces which must be filled by two of the Students. This office can be held by either a boy or girl from 'the Senior class. The Editors of the Gleams choose a group of -pupils to assist them in their work of publishing the kind of,C1learn which will interest and keep everyone in touch with the different activities of the schools. n Kenneth Curtis Under the efficient executive ability dis- played 'byt Kenneth Curtis, William Chris- ...W- man came sailing through the first semester with flying colors. Our student secretary, Eleanore Pruyn, definitely decided to drop school at the end ofthe first six weeks and her place was capably filled by Mary Ruth Choplin for the rest of the semester. MMYRUH1 Choplin x l l i l 1 THE GLEAM 21 The second semester of the term of 1930 opened with the usual battle which follows nominations for new offices. Preliminary votes were taken which eliminated all but two pupils for each office. The competing ones for Student President were Christian Barker and jack Chilesg for Student Secretary, Oliver Curtis and Fern Russell, for Editor-in-Chief of BifWeekly Crleam, Charles Spahr and Elizabeth Smith. Following the campaign speeches the main election took place. The victofsfiroyfa to bejack Chiles, Charles Spahr l:etnijRussell. ffjlack Chiles then took the office of f i Student President, which had been successfully f , ffillezd by Kenneth Curtis the first semester, Jack Chiles ,f lf' and continued the work throughout the f - school term. The Students are given wo assemblies a week which are planned by the President. jack Chiles presented ver interesting and educational programs. Excellent speakers were heard from the stag throughout the term and many musical programs as well as miscellaneous ones were enjoyed by all. Sponsors are chosen from the faculty to lead and advise each class. The Sophof mores, juniors, and Seniors each have two sponsors. A President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer and Parliamentarian are also elected for each of the three classes. A greater success is enjoyed by having these sponsors and Prof. I-lanthorn to advise and direct the students when in doubt. During the second semester,jack Chiles has shown his capability and leader- ship in all his work, for he has successfully striven for more variety and entertain, ment in his assembly programs. One of the best assemblies of the year, from an educational as well as a recreational standpoint, was that in which Dr. Richard L. Sutton, Jr., visited us and made us more familiar with animal life in foreign coun- tries. Such programs as this have charac- terized Chiles' administration throughout the term. The Bi-weekly Gleam was edited in a most capable manner by Charles Spahr. I-le made some noticeable improvements, among them being the more personal type of news columns, and more business-like advertisements. I-it the end of the year an eightfpage edition was published, this being the first one so large in several years. I-le also arranged his finances so that the editor for next year 'can continue. Our student secretary, Miss Fern Rus- f , sell, has also fulfilled her ofhce quite capably F R H ern USSC and well. . fm: All fr Ar -X ,NS The Conqueror gains a milestone to Career Free, hand-locked with Ambition, He scales dizzy heights, Scans eagerlg the vast expanse below Which is the World.

Viewing the scene from the same high vantagefpoint, we too might have smiled in amusement to see a straggling group of awkward, bewildered Sophomores, filing cautiously through the portals, gazing round-eyed at the distant ceilings, and listening awesomely to the sounds of merrymaking proceeding from some point far above. Eventually they found their places in the auditorium, and in their section near the roof became the butt of every chance jokeconceived by both Juniors and Seniors. However, it was not long before, under the guidance of Jack Chiles, with Miss Lucas and Mr.Emke as sponsors, they began to win rhe respect of faculty and upper- classmen alike by their many achievements. Even Seniors were quite chagrined at being t'outfsold as to tickets, out-played as to assemblies, outfwritten as to essays, and outdone in athletics. With Mary Eleanore Pruyn as president, the Sophomores closed a most successful year.

M ISS CHILES--MR, DAVIS When this group of students next returned to the high school, it was with a little trepidation, a little more self-confidence than before. Only a few weeks had passed when they elected Merrill Etzenhouser as president, and with the help of their spon- sors, Miss Lucas and Mr. Pigg, began to enlarge and polish the name-platen which they had won so creditably as Sophomores. Not until said plate was thickly studded with new victories in the fields of essay, athletics, dramatics, and music, accomplished under the leadership of Kenneth Curtis, were these ambitious scholars content to leave it for a time. Now they are Seniors and proudly wearing all the laurels which their efforts, under the august name, have brought them. They mourn deeply their departure from be- loved scenes: but realizing that success lies in the forward, not the backward look, they reluctantly leave their places to the new Seniors, hoping that Fortune will smile as brightly on them as she has on the Seniors of 1930. BLEVINS DAVIS From him we learn what pep means and how to smile and still keep ever busy. No one could possibly be engaged in more activities at the same time with such evidence of energy and enthusiasm and with such marked success. He is our sponsor, teacher, adviser, and Friend. His wide travels, coupled with his popular method of I i teaching, make his English classes a most pleasant diversion from ordinary studies. The Seniors are proud to claim him as a sponsor. Under his able direc- tion the Senior play was one of the most successful productions in the annals of Chrisman. He has been foremost to assist in the production of numerous other plays and has been responsible for a number of out best assembly programs.

I immediately donned my collaps- ible wings and hastened to the reunion. After a three weeks' flight, I saw the famous Garden, alighted and walked to the entrance. Whom should I see, but I.aRena Bullard, in a Salvation Army uniform, chanting, Drop a nickel on the drum, and you'll be saved. Producing my pass, I was allowed to proceed, but saw the mountainous pile of lead coins rejected from Christian Barker, John Barrett, Helen Hall, Sara King, Howard Sheehy, and Alvin May. Once inside, I noticed everywhere familiar faces. I learned that Howard Woodruff, jack Walters, Wanda Skinner, and Jean Davis Strother were obliged to scrub the walls with tooth-brushes daily for swiping grapes fromjack Chiles' vineyard, while Tom Tierney, Ruby Stauffer, Alice Marie Proctor, C. Morris, Clifford Long, and Helen Henry were condemned to clear the streets of tooth-picksplinters. I next visited several schools whose rooms were counterparts of old Chrisman. Here Elmer Bailey and Anabel Nelson were instructing a class of serpents, from Bar- num and Bailey, not to give apples to tourists, other reptiles were learning from Wil- liam Wietzel, Evelyn Thomas, Merle Quick, Sarah Helen Lane, and Ann Burrus, the intricacies of tap-dancing. Traversing the corridors, I found all as usual in the Chemistry Department, where Raymond Chapelow, Merrill Alloway, john Eggen, and Laura Hickman were concocting a preparation to revive the Dead Sea. Charles Spahr rushed up to demonstrate his invention in field glasses, with these I witnessed an endurance contest on Mount Ararat, where Novilla Gott, Gordon Smith, Wayne Tucker, Frances Allen, Doris Blake, David Cole, Naomi Duncan, Herbert Ferrie, and Marjorie Dorsey were racing on kiddy-cars. On shifting the binoculars, I discovered Roger Mann, Frances Johnson, Edwin Larson, Edna Logan, Carwin Criley, junior Farmer, and Ruby Ewin perched upon driftwood, writing letters with water from the Red Sea. Harpsichord numbers were rendered byjuanita Bushart, Martha Basye, Olive Curtis, Merrill Etzenhouser, and Edith Sommervilleg an oboe sextet was achieved by Mil- dred Burrough, Ralph McConnell, Elizabeth Burgess, and Kenneth Curtis. But the crowning feature of the entertainment was the harp chorus, composed of Elizabeth Smith, Howard Maxon, Frances Beason, Mary Ruth Choplin, Theodore Malee, Mary Nigh, and C. H. Walters, who played so beautifully that I was assailed byfl pangs of homesickness and was obliged to leave immediately. f One of thefew students I I ,f f, ,f ,f X ! ,I What should a Junior be?

First among their achievements, let us consider what they have done in literature and the dramatic arts, for we Chrismanites are especially indebted to them in this branch of activity. Each of the three members of the school's debating team was a junior, and in Miss Barnes teaches American spite ofthe fact that none ofthe three had had previous experience they carried the old banner quite gallantly, Winning at least half of their contests. This statement alone shows the perseverance of these class members and with the same spirit next year as has been evidenced during this, We are sate in saying that our trust in them will be quite deserved. Oratory is another branch of education in which the Juniors show excellent talent. The class representative in the National Contest sponsored in this section by the Kansas City Star, carried off second honors in the county finals. There also has been a showing of declamatory talent among these underclassmen. We are certain that next year hey shall step forth and prove themselves. MISS BARNES Down the hall on third floor comes a red dress. At a distance we wonder who it is, but as the individual approaches Within talking range we soon recognize it to be Miss Barnes, our sponsor of the Shakespearians and the Iunior Class. and Modern History in Chrisman I-Iigh, and we all will plan and take History next year, for she expects to travel in Europe during the summer. Let us hope that she will not try to bring back Shakespeare's bones so that the Shakespearians will: have souve- nirs, for folks have been put in jail for stealing bones. 1 I I IIXXJGA l J I THE GLEAM JUNIOR OFFICERS SECOND SEMESTER PRESIDENT VICE PRESIDENT SE RETARY TREASURER PARLI AISIENT ARI AN CHEER LE ADERS SPONSORS ALBERT N1 G H FR AN K ALLEN M ARI ON B ARN ARD RICH ARD KRESS ANITA MAY RANDALL OFFUTT THELMA Gmns MISS BARNES Miss MCCLURE One should not however thrnk of the un1or Class as merely bemg a group that rnustspeak for themselves wrthout havrng anythmg upon wh1ch to base therr laudatory comment To be sure they are not to be hooted at on the platform, but they have also won laurels 1n athletrcs musrc and drarnat1c art Many of the backs, and lrnesmen too on the football team were unrors and every one knows that they certarnly played therr parts It wrll be thrs seasoned materral that wrll wrn the games next year They are the ones who wrll be responsrble for the brarn work the qurck thrnkrng and reserve power In basketball although a majorrty of the players were upper classmen the unrors agarn d1cl the1r b1t whrle in track they are consxdered as some of the mamstays of the team We feel sure that w1th th1s honorable record to glance back upon, they wrll be strengthened to forge ever onward next year for we know that they strck to the game MISS L McCL U RE M Q el McClure IS one of I ost popular teachers rn r faculty, both wlth her sh nts and wrth the xnstructors She possesses all of the require X ments of a teacher of marked lJab1lxty, presents her class Work I x rn an enthuslasflc manner and grves her 'mme llberally to ward the advancement of school rnferests Forergn travel, coupled wrth her years of study rn Mxssourr, Kansas, and Chrcago Unrversrtres, has excellently pre pared her to conduct superror classes 1n I-Irstory and Engllsh I I I I 47 c .....,.. ....... .............,........... ......... . . .

He has for his future the prospects of occupying the dignified, self-reliant positions of the Seniors. lt is from his class that the high executive officer for the succeeding year must be chosen. This year the Junior Class has seen its members gain the leading positions of every department Where juniors might hold the executive offices. Not onlyin departmental work but in every activity, the juniors will be found having leading parts. What's lacking as juniors? lt is not our purpose to brag on ourselves-juniors never do-but we feel the accomplishments of this superb class must be advertised in order that the vain com- petitionof the self-assertive Sophomores and the dignified Seniors will not make it appear to the reader that the Juniors are dead. Speaking of being dead! The junior Class is the most energetic group to be found in school. V l S M 52 THE GLEAM The uniors having conveniently forgotten that they were once Sophomores started the year 1929-30 with the intention of becoming a bigger and better class. They had filled well their position as Sophomores. They had given themselves a good start on the road to fame and fortune and now their unior year was to be merely a continuation of their earlier triumphs. The membership of the Forum has been built up largely by the uniors while the following offices were held by members of this class the first and second semester respectively: President-Albert, Nign Lois Turner' Vice-President-William Prewitt Maurice Peiser' Parliamentarian-Donald Pryor- Treasurer-Alene Twyman Max- well Constance' and Secretary-Alene Twyman second semester. Albert Nigh and Richard Erickson Chrisman s debate team are both Juniors. Ronald Evans Maurice Peiser and Lois Turner have also debated. The uniors have come to the front excellently in athletics. Not only have a great many of their classmates gone out for sports but the class as a whole has sup- ported the teams well. The unior bovs who are members of the C Club are: Albert Cookston Richard Roberts Robert Hinde George Weitzel Robert Stock- wood Glenn Petre Kenneth Gilbert Howard Reese Evan Resch Maurice Baily Frank Allen, George Marquis, James Qurollo ,George Burns and Douglas Daughtery. Thelma Gibbs and Randall Offutt, who are Junior cheer leaders, have kept the enthusiasm of the class at high pitch throughout the year. This has not been hard to do because the juniors are full of pep and vigor, and are always ready to undertake anything worth while, and to finish it to the best of their ability. They have also distinguished themselves in the music line. Several members of the orchestra belong to this class and quite a few Juniors have demonstrated their singing ability in various assemblies. ' They gave quite successfully, as the annual Junior Play, The College Cut-Ups . It was a three-act comedy in which college students played ridiculous pranks upon each other, and live tigers rushed from their cages onto the stage, sending the audience into roars of laughter. The proceedsfrom this play were larger than that of any Junior Play which has been given in the High School for several years. The cast is to be commended for their hard work upon the production.

The boys of the class displayed their talents in singing and dancing to a decided advantage, and tothewhole-heartedarnusement of the student body. During the second semester they gave another program in which the Juniors whose names had been drawn from a box in a previous assembly toolc part. They gave a play, the cast and stage managers being the following people whose names were drawn: Velma Scheperclaus, William Lundquist, Bernice Charlton, Richard Roberts, Evan Resch, Emma Fern Kelsey, Mary Landfried and Albert Handy. The school depends a great deal upon the Junior class. ln another yeara great responsibility will rest upon them. When they are Seniors they must be able to set a good example before the Sophomore and Junior classes. This has been the duty of each Senior class. All have succeeded well in representing to the two lower classes what they should be when they become the leaders of the entire school. We feel that these juniors will not fail to carry out the work which will be assigned to them. They are studious and industrious. They have made the other classes of William Chrisman feel that when a thing has to be done, they can be depended upon to do it. They have proved to us that our trust in them is well founded. During the two years that this class has been in High School, they have progressed surely and triumphantly toward that supreme goal, Graduation. This, their Junior year, is their year of preparation. They have worked hard to be worthy of the place of honor which they are soon to hold. As Seniors, their accomplishments must be great and worth while. The traditions which have always belonged to the Senior class, will soon be in their hands, to uphold or let fall. ' We, the departing Seniors, though reluctant to leave William Chrisman and all the scenes that bring neverftofbefforgotten memories crowding into our minds, realizing that we must go and that school life here must go on the same without us, hail you, Seniors of 1930-31, as our able successors!

She is a graduate of the Warrensburg State Teachers' Col- lege, Where she majored in Com- merce. As one of the sponsors of the Sophomore Class she ably directed its first annual play, Be an Optimist. She has trained contestants for spelling and commercial contests in addition to teaching shorthand, bookkeeping, and typewriting. Her interest in school Work ex- tends beyond the Commercial department.

On September 6, 1929, young things, green as gourds, filed up the stairs on trembling legs and seated themselves in the balcony, their designated place. They were the new crop of Sophomores. They were no more than just ordinary Sopho- moresg in fact, they were hardly that, according to their own estimation at that particular time. As usual, they were treated with tolerant indifference by the Seniors, and were regarded with cool glances of superiority by the Juniors. It bothered them a little. They were shy and easilyembarrassed. lt was quite apparent that before they could remove the degrading stigma which always falls upon Left ta Right: Top Row: Howard Furnal, Elmore Davis, Allen Mitts, John McFall, John Walker, Walter Chushuk, Byron Hedeen, Ronald Sch ayeers, Eugene Baker, Glenn Stevenson. .

The Sophomores have two very good assemblies to their credit. During the first semester they put on a program called K'Wahoo College . The scene was a sec- tion of the bleachers during a football game at this college. The announcer, Jean Tate Chiles, was frequently interrupted by indignant outbursts from Sam Seigfred and Margaret Etzenhouser because they felt that their son, who was playing in the game, was not being given all his share of the glory. ln the second semester, under the student President's novel idea of drawing ten names from a box in assembly, the following ten people gave avery cleverpantomime entitled And the Lamp Went Out , Fred Liebe, Paul McManigal, Bennie McGuire, Edna Ketchum, Everett McCormick, Ruth Mann, Dliver Lane, Dorcas Milton, Verna Kelsey, and Kathryn Smurr.

The Sophomores revealed their high sthcol spirit by taking part in the many activ- ities ofthe school. They have entered every contest, and although they have not al- ways come out winners, they have accepted defeat in the most sportsmanlike manner, and have gone on, ever hoping for success in the next undertaking. In this, their first year at William Chrisman, they have tried to conform to the customs of the school, and havesucceeded admirably. The Sophomore class of 1929-30 feels grateful to all its fellow-students and sponsors for their cooperation and goodffellowship. lt hopes in the unseen years to accomplish something really worth while. ' To prophesy for the Sophomore class is very difficult, for the innumerable marvels which will come to pass within the next few years are almost unbelievable, A few of them may be mentioned, the rest must be seen. The Sophomore class, two years hence, will prove to be one of the greatest Senior 'classes in the history of William Chrisman High School. Their class play, the first to be given by the Sophomores in the High School Auditorium, proved to be one of the best plays of the year. This is the first annual ,play the Sophomore class ever presented. When the Sophomores first came from Junior High the upper classmen thought they were being presented with the greenest bunch ever known. However, the said upper classmen were in fora great surprise, for from the first they were outdone by this new class in many fields, heretofore considered impregnable. Aside from being alittle inexperienced, theHSophs have proved to be a model group of students. Even though Mrs. Moore may say lf they do not all reform in the three months between now and September they will all be in jail, the Sophomores have the highest recommendation of all the faculty. They have been a group of courteous, loyal students and will continue so in the years to come. It will givetheoldugradsna thrill when they come back in two years and see what that green UD bunch turned out to be. They will see the assemblieshandled N 1 ' - ' '- ,,f2 , MFE 'l if fwEEQ.5-,Qt rw r ff L ' . e raw ...S 1 f1yfr . , ..., , W . 2 i'1:'iiG I - 1 ri - fgyg, Q.. .L ...Lg 11: glyk -lg M . twat., 3 , ., f 1 - Y -5',15',illl'45i? 3 , . ,' .'

The center section of seats will be filled with a super-intelligent looking group, who will not only be capable of keeping straight the affairs of the school but the affairs of the community as well. Theevidences of their work already appear in many places and will be most outstanding within the next two years. The Sophomore class is said to have brought the best looking girls to high school ever seen here and this beauty will continue to grow as the years go by. What will it be within two years? Oh Boy! just use your imagination. This class has many other accomplishments to its credit. Consider'Paul Page, Ragsdale Reegan and junior Stafford who have been outstanding in athletics. Watch these boys at meets and games in the next two years. Harvey Fullerton is at present our fastest half-mile man and there are two years ahead of him in which to develop.

Morris f A Pupil: Mr, Morris is never angry with us but criticizes us in such a manner as to make us feel he does it for our own benefit. He is interested not only in what we do while we are here but also in our future welfare and happiness. A Teacher: Mr. Morris is regarded by Junior High School teachers as a friend who is ever ready to give his time and consideration to any problem. He is greatly admired and respected by everyone as he is always master of himself and any situation. He possesses the rare art of being firm yet kind. His judgment is held in highest esteem because of his sympathy and understanding in the most trying circumstances. The Superintendent: Our eHicient co-worker, Mr. A. C. Morris, as an ad- ministrator, has the highest admiration of his faculty, students, and patrons. His genial personality radiates a kindly Christian character. He loves young people, directs them in a conscientious manner, and endeavors to forget their faults, to re- member only their virtues. During his twelve years in junior High School, he has assisted hundreds of our young people to become more loyal citizens. A Parent: Mr. Morris thinks of the interests and welfare of the boys and girls of Junior High School hrst, last, and always. X X Nl.

Some were happy to be here, others longed for their grade teachers and friends. Adjustments were soon made, however, and at the close of the first six weeks it was found that several home rooms were outstanding in scholarship. Spring brought with it the desire to play, and work began on the Missouri State Badge tests. About fiftyfsix boys and girls earned the badges and were presented with them at apatriotic assembly in May.

FRESHMAN ANTICIPI-XTION Chrisrnan anxiously awaits the arrival of its Freshmen -comrades. Freshmen .... the. word itself denotes a dazzling, vivid shade of green. However, the august stu- dent body has been emphatically assured that green things do grow. We sincerely believe that the oncoming Sophomore class will adopt this expressive motto as their own, and cherish its implied underlying principles. Their various activities this year have proven to us that they really are an enterprising group. To expect the cooperation of such a capable class is not beyond realization. We hope they will not only carry on their present outstanding characteristics, but uphold the standards which have been established by former successful Chrismanites. It is by past accomplishments that we are enabled to judge the future results of any organization. Therefore we anticipate the development of a distinctive type of student and encourage them to constantly strive for worthwhile advancement along all lines of endeavor.

The players awarded letters were-David Conyers, captain and Center, Roland Conyers, guard, Frank Phillips, forward, Wayne Smelzer, forward, Reid Kelley, guard, John Dooley, guard, and Woodrow Flanagan, forward. The Seventh and Eighth grades played one game with Sugar Creek which they lost 15 to 2. The Seventh and Eighth grade players were: Edwin Smith, Eddie Bracht, Bill Ried Roy- ster, Dickie Cox, james Fairbanks, Phil Weeks, Robert Clasby, and Donald Roberts. Some of these players often played in the regular Junior High games. The scores of the games were: Lees Summit 11, Junior High 19, Raytown 16, Junior High 18, Holton, Kansas 6, Junior High ZZ, Raytown 10, Junior High S, Lees Summit 14, Junior High 29, Sugar Creek 15, junior High 31. , ln a great many games most ofthe scoring is done in half of the game. This was es- pecially so of the Raytown game played at Raytown. The first halt' ofthe game junior High had the ball all ofthe time and made eighteen points. Raytown rarely got the ball and when they did, they ran with it, fumbled it, or threw it into the hands of a Junior Highplayer. Theydidmlkeoaeortwo helpless shots at the basket which were wild. Altogether the team was helpless looking. At the half Junior High was instructed to ease up which they did to the extent that they were almost as bad as Raytown was the first half. The going became hard for Junior High then. David Conyers was put out on fouls and it seemed Raytown hit the basket every shot. Junior High didn't make a point that half, the gun was all that saved them, the score being 15 to 16. LEFT 'ro R1GHT'F1zANK PHxLL1Ps F--Woookow FLANAGAN F-WAYNE SMELSER F-ROLAND CONYERS G--MR.

The name was chosen in commemoration of one of the early historical founders of our country, William Penn, whose ideals of loyalty, service, trust and democracy, the Club has endeavored to emulate.

L enore Brown The second semester officers in the same order were: Joy Harder, John Reick, Opal Young, Mary Pearl Salisbury, Robert Faucett and Lenore Brown. Since there was no school publication of any kind and the need for one was felt in order to establish an all school spirit of loyalty and cooperation, the Home Room, in endeavoring to undertake a worthy project decided upon the publication of the school paper the Echo and the stall' was selected. This year the Club was launched as an all school activity with members selected from all three grades, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth. Penn Club The Club has been able to present several motion picture assemblies this year, and it presented a one act play 'iKrismus Speakin' at Skagg's Skule for the Christmas Assem- bly. ln addition to this the Club has purchased a new automatic mimeograph and has added many other things in the way of developing a press department. The Club at all times has the interest of the school foremost in mind and is ever desirous of making Junior High a greater institution. The Echo and the annual have been entered at the Missouri lnterscholastic Meet at Colum- bia, May 1, Z and 3.

Club All for One, One for All, is the slogan of each member of the I-X.0.0.A. Club of Junior High School. W The purpose of the organization is to foster a spirit of coop- eration and good fellowship among the girls and to set up ideals that will lead to the development of a high type of American womanhood. Each year as we go along our club has become better and more interesting. May the girls who are just coming into it hold the torch as high as the ones before have held it and make the light brighter and more powerful than it has been before. On February twentieth and twentyfiirst the club presented as its annual play, HPatty Makes Things Hum, a comedy in three acts. The action took place in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Green. Patty, the sister of Mrs. Green, managed to make things hum from beginning to end, and- Hyacinth, the loquacious colored maid, lent great laughter and excitement to the play. Patty with the aid of the other characters made the play a great success and helped bring in a considerable sum ofmoney for the club treasury.

L o retta McCarroll A nti-Cigarette League Since its organization in 1920 the Anti-Cigarette League has been a flourishing society in the junior High School. The movement was begun by junior High Szhaol boys who thought they could do better work if they were entirely free from the injurious elfects of tobacco. The purpose of the League is to help the boys refrain from the use of the cigarette. The membership has grown steadily each year, until at the present time the one hundred and fifty-three ofthe first year has become five hundred, or ninety-four percent of the boys attending Junior High School. The League hasaCongress,composed of one representative from each room, which pledges the new members, plans the assemblies and other activities of the boys. ln assembly this year the boys have been addressed by the Rev. C. P. Jones of Kansas City and by Dr. Lyndon Harper of Independence. The Anti-Cigarette League presented a very successful play, t'Rival Ghosts ,December 5 and 6, 1929, netting one hundred seventy-eight dollars and hfty cents. This monev will be used to purchase useful things for the school. The officers for 1929-1930 are 2' President ........ ......,..,..,....., , ..,.............

LEE OE all the members of the faculty at William Chrisman none probably has more lasting influence than our coach. One only needs to study any game in which his men are taking part to recognize ,his leadership. During a crucial moment the boys only need a guiding or an encouraging word and usually the play is won for Chrisman. It is also of importance to know that Coach Lee was elected this spring as the most valualle A THLE TIC S coach in the Little Ten Con- ference. No doubt this was a reward for his leadership and belief in fair play. Another evidence of his ability to put forth winners in what- ever his men partake is mani- fested in halls of Chrisman. Our trophy case has been filled. Truly many a Bear will leave Chrisman's halls with a song in his heart for having some contact with this personality That is a bi accomplishment in the teach ing profession T1-IELMA Grniss oHN HUTCHIBS GWENDOLYN TANNER CHEER LEADERS .U . , A O . , ' It X I 'ff ' x-EL' ,'.,, h- MTF , , , V' ' .

During the year the members of the organization h1ve been very busy with athletics but have found time to have regular meetings once every two weeks. Several assembly programs have been given during the year and the ticket sales for some of the games were sponsored by the Club. Although this is an athletic club, one social event was enjoyed-th: C Club banquet, which is an annual affair. At this function the basketball and track letters were awarded and many excellent speeches were given. This year a special privilege was extended to the C Club in the fact that they were permitted to present a play entitled Betty's Last Bet. The cast was well selected and the play a great- success. The proceeds from the production were used to help supply a new athletic room with showers and lockers. The C Club feels it has been quite suc- cessful during th: plst year and Wishes to ex- tend t9 youa wish for a hlppy and prosperous future.

Ot-these games, six were conference, giving Chrisman Championship for the s::ond consecutive year in the Big Seven Conf ference. The other two games played were with schools of Kansas City, which w:re one-sided, indicating that the Chrisman football team was an outstanding team in this section of the State. Factors which go to make up a team that is successful during a whole season are scholarship eligibility, reserve strength, clean sportsmanship, connezted with grit and tight. All these factors are in Chris- man's team as shown by their record. And the material for next year's team promises a squad that will continue the record and work of Chrisman's team this year.

This was the first game of the season, and a non-conference game for both teams. The Vikings were out' played from the start. They could not with- stand the onslaught ofthe Bears. In the first quarter both teams made many fumbles, muffed the ball and made several penalties, but this was attributed partly to its being the first game of the season, which caused both elevens to be more or less nervous. However, in the second quarter the Bears came out of their lethargy and began to march towards the Vikings' goal. During the second quarter many of Benson's passes might have been a score but they were missed. In the last of the second quarter, Curtis snatched one of Benson's passes and scored the first touchdown of the garne. The Vikings put up a terrific fight and wereonly stopped by a long flying tackle by Linson, on the 7 yard line. The Bears held them tight and their goal was not again in danger. In the third quarter on tossed I-Iinde a pass which was carri ver to the second score of the game. e urth quarter Benson tossed another pass icken- son who was waiting over the ' e. made an extra point. 1 RANDALL OFF , HA LFBACK CHRISMAN Z0-MANUEL 6 The second game of the season and a non- conference game also was played at the North- east field, on September 27. This team was the only one able to score on the purple and old gold eleven. From the first, the Bears smashed their way through Manuel's line, making the first score of the game when Cur- tis went off tackle for the touchdown and the only score of the first half. In the third quarter, after battling back and forth, Manuel contrived to gain possession of the ball by blocking one of Chrisman's punts. Manuel managed to score in the third quarter only after a hard struggle. They rallied to make the extra point. The Bears began to open up and hammer Manuel's line fiercely. With the score almost tied the Bears were determined to make Manuel take the small end of the score. Maxon and Hinde went smashing through time after time. Cookston and Dickenson snatched a lot of passes from Benson for long gains that took the ginger out of Manuel. The Bears, after pushing Manuel back to their own 15 yard line, sent Curtis through for the second touchdown. Beal made the extra point by a well placed kick. ln the last quarter the Bears started for another touchdown and could not be stopped.

The pep and spirit of the Bears showed up plainly in this first conference game of the season. With two practice games the Bears were ready to trounce their opponents. The first score was in the second quarter when Lexington, after a poor punt,lost the ball on their own Z7 yard line. After smashing the line a while the Bears pulled a pass that put the ball on the 10 yard line, Then a long lateral pass from Benson to Hinde succeeded in crossing the goal and making the first and only touchdown of the game. The Bears threatened Lexington's goal time after time but was unable to cross it, partly due to the wet field and slippery ball. The Bears, however, kept the upper hand throughout the game. Dickenson could not miss Benson'spasses and kept Lex- ington worried continually. Later in the game Benson was injured. This left the Bears without a quarter back. The team kept smashing Lexington'sline and the game ended with the battle still forging back and forth near the center of the field. This finished the hrst conference game with the victory on the Chrisman Bears' shoulder, ROBERT STOCKWOOD CI-IRISMAN 6-SLATER 0 The game with the Wildcats was played on October 18, on their own field. The Bears were weakened by the absence of one of their most important players, that of Benson, quarterback, due to an injury in the preceding game. They were, however, a very de- termined squad when thzy mlrchzd on the field. It was this determination thlt allowed the Bears to hold Slater to a 6 to 0 score. After the kickfoff Slater was downed in their tracks. The quarter ended in a punting battle with Curtis out-kicking Slater. The second quarter was a tighter battle with one line smashing the other. At the close of the second quarter the ball was still on the 50 yard Iine. The Bears became rough in the third quarter and shot Curtis, Maxon and Barker through the Wildcat'sline time after time. The fourth quarter was the toughest battle of all. Witli the ball on the 40 yard line, holding perfectly, Bob I-Iinde heaved a pass to Dickenson, who was under Slaters goal waiting and snagged it there. Beal tried for a point but the kick was broke up. The game ended with the battle waxing stronger and stronger but the Bruins could not be pushed back.

Odessa was outweighed, nevertheless they put up a plucky fight. During the whole game they were outclassed and could not withstand the terrible onslaught of the Bears. The game opened with Beal kicking a splendid kick deep into Odessa's territory. After a first down Chrisman tight- tened up and after gaining the ball on Odessa's 38 yard line the Bears sent Maxon through the line, Benson around end and Curtis went over' for the first touchdown. Beal added another point. The second quarter the Bears frmtlcd and lost gicund slowly. The third -quarter Beal kicked over the Bulldogs' goal line, for first down. Bob l-linde flipped a pass to Ccokston who made the play good for 37 yards. From the 10 yard.line Benson raced for another touchdown. Beal added his point. In the fourth quarter, after many plays, Benson again plunged through for another touchdown. Beal tried for the point but the kick was blocked. The second team was sent in. CI-IRISMAN 13-MARSH ALL 0 ln this game, the Bears and the Owls again set out to settle their historic grievances on the Bears' field, November 8. After the game started it was only 8 minutes until the Bears netted a touchdown. After the kick-off the Owls were forced to punt from their 35 yard line. After repeated plunges by Maxon, I-linde and Benson, the ball was on the 50 yard line and-the Bears were forced to kick. The Owls returned the punt to our 40 yard line and Benson squirmed back for Z7 yards. Beal smashed the line for the first touchdown. The kick for the extra point hit the posts. The quarter ended with Maxon, Craig and Beal plunging the line repeatedly. ln the second quarter Chrisman put the ball on the Owls'1 yard line, but were unable to put it across. Roberts recovered the ball from a fumble by the Owls and the quarter ended with an incomplete pass from Chrisman. ln the third quarter Marshall showed up more than the Bears. The Bears, however, made some good defensive playsand also otiensive. Near 'the end of the quarter Etzenhouser intercepted a very dangerous pass. ln the last quarter the Bears came out for another stroll down the field.

The victorious team of the game had the title of conference championship without a doubt. The Bears were determined to defeat the Blue Jays and from the beginning of the game the Bruins had the Blue Jays hopping back. The Blue Jays could not stop them. They swept on like a machine. Thinking Higginsville to come back strong soon, the Bears decided not to give them a chance to come back until they were ready for them. The ball was in Chrisman's possession most of the game, and also in the Blue Jays' own territory. The Blue Jays were fighting hard but could not seem to get the ball any closer to their objective than 35 yards. ln the second quarter Benson flipped a pass to Dickenson, who was waiting for it under the goal, and then Beal added his habitual extra point. In the first of the third quarter with the ball on the Z0 yard line Benson again gave the pigskin to Dickenson who was over the goal line. In the last quarter Benson tossed Hinde a lateral pass, and I-linde was not downed until he had covered Z5 yards with the ball on the 1 yard line. Curtis carried the ball over. BURGESS OVERCAST G U A RD KENNETH CURTIS H ALFB ACK CHRISMAN 32-SEDALIA O This last game of the season played on November ZZ on our own field was the finale of Chrisman's proud football team. It was a battle from the beginning. In the second quarter the Bears opened Sedalia's line and forced them back to their own goal line. Witli Z0 yards to go Benson passed to Dicken- son who carried the ball over for the first touchdown. After again marching down the field to Sedalia's 5 yard line, the Bears sent Maxon over the line for a score. The second team was sent in and was going strong when the half ended. ln the third quarter the Bears' first eleven again started for Sedalia's goal line. After a long end run, Curtis went around the end for a third touchdown. In the last quarter the Be:1rs'goal line was in danger, when Curtis dazed by a tackle caught a pass instead of grounding it, on the Bears own goal line. He passed it to I-linde. The oH'l:ials ruled it illegal and gave the Bruins the ball on their own goal line. ln a punt formation Benson went around end and with a readily formed interference ran from 9 yards behind his goal to Sed1lia's 10 yard line, whzre he stumbled on the rough ground and fell. H: was too ex' hausted to continue his flight, however. It was a 103 yard ran and th: climax of th: game. ALBERT COOKSTON sy END.

The Bears, determined that Slater should not give us another scare as before, went through their defense fast and furious, even though the Wildcats were playing on their own court. This time Chrisrnan came out with flying colors and a score of 39 to Slater's 20. MARSHALL-This game was played on the home court. The Owls were coming back at us with a fight. The Bears, however, determined to make the Owls see their mis- take and defeated them terribly. The score was 64 to 19. ODESSA-Played at Odessa, The Bull- dogs were fighting mad but the Bears could not be stopped. They crushed Odessa's defense and defeated them with a score of 60 to 15. LEXINGTON-Lexington arrived here with the determination to quell the Bears in their victorious advance. Although they played their best, the Bruins defeated them 25 to 12. EAST HIGH, K. C.-This game was played at Northeast Gym. East High romped the Bears last year and they were ready to make them take it all back. After a long struggle Chrisman emerged holding the big end as usual with the score 20 to 18. HIGGINSVILLE-Because of an accident Higginsville was unable to play us but once and that on their court. Although Higgins- ville was, inaway,handicapped,they put up a plucky fight. The Bears, however, had got up their steam and sailed through to a de- cisive victory of 41 to 14. SEDALIA-The last conference game of the season and played at Sedalia. Sedalia put up a desperate fight but played a losing game from the beginning. The Bears played a strong game and came out with the score in their favor 43 to 8.

Our track team had been training hard and was ready to give their opponents a fight. They were in good Condition as was shown when the relay came to the winning tape ahead of the rest, the time being 2-22 seconds. Chrisman competed against Wyandotte, Manhattan and St. joe Central in this meet, all of which proved to be Worthy opponents. K.U. K.C.A.C. The second meet of the track season. lt was also an indoor meet and run on February 14. Our team, as us'ual, was very determined to do something better than before. Wyan- dotte, who annually comes back at William Chrisman for revenge, again lost to our relay team: The time was .2 seconds better than that of the preceding meet. Our track team cannot be held back especially with such a flying start as they have exhibited so far this season. HOWARD MAXON SHO r, JAVELI ,I A KEMPER This meet, ran on March 22 and an indoor meet, proved that Chrisman's four horsemen were in good condition and had confidence, which is a thing that makes a team dithcult to defeat. Chrisman showed up quite a bit better in this meet. Our relay team comprised of Evan Resch, Merrill Etzenhouser, George Weitzel and Joe Denton took first in their race.. Maxon put the shot to third place. Our team competed against University City mainly. WYANDOTTE In this meet, which was the third tirnewe met Wyandotte on the field, our team brought home many honors. Weitzel won first in in the 100 yard dash and first in the 220 and second in the broad jump, Resch got first in the 220 low hurdles and second in 220 yard dash, Etzenhouser won first in- 220 high hurdles and third in 220 low hurdles, Denton Won third in 4405 Fullerton second in 880g Linson first in the shotg Roberts first in the discus, Page first in the pole vault, Burns .

We are quite proud of our track team in bringing to our school these honors. LIBERTY This meet was run out of doors. As a rule it rains for this meet but that makes very little difference to our team. They show their speed on either mud or dry field, which has its good points. Although Chrisman placed only third in this meet, the team carried off a few honors with them, among which were first place in the low hurdles, won by Evan Resch, Etzenhouser second in 220 high hurdles, Weitzel fourth in 220 yard dash, Linson first in the shot and third in discus and Burns third in the mile. WARRENSBURG Rich Hill third. incidentally Rich Hill had only one man to uphold their school. Our team showed their mettle in this meet. Of the honors they brought home we are proud, and also proud of what they did. Wcitzel won third in the 100 yard dash and first in the 220, Etzenhouser first in the 440, and second in the 120 high hurdles, Resch won first in the 220 low hurdles, Linson third in the shot and third in the discus, Page fourth in the pole vault. Although we lost several reliable men last year,their places were readily filled and our track team has won honors this year. In the Columbia Chrisman won only two fourth places, how- State. many meet ever, they ran against the fastest in the The big seven meet at Sedalia will be held after this book has gone to press, neverthe- less we expect our team to run up to first place in that meet and feel confident that they will at least make the winners fight for what William Chrisman won this meet, having a total of 291 1-3pointswithSedalia second and they get.

I .J , i V ,-f' 5 I 88 THE GLEAIVI TENNIS Tennis this year was a new or rather a re- juvenated sport in Chrisman since we have not had a tennis team for about three years. This year there seemed to be a great deal of interest shown in it,so Coach Lee decided to have a school tournament to determine who would represent Chrisman in the spring inter- scholastic contests. A large number of boys responded. In the matches that followed four boys, Albert Nigh, Ralph McConnell, Douglas V Daughtrey and George Marquis, won out and from them was picked the team to go to Liberty. It was finally decided that George Marquis should go for singles while Albert Nigh and Douglas Daughtrey should repre- sent us for the doubles. The meet at Liberty, April 18, Friday, an invitation tournament under the auspices of William Jewells College was well attended with about sixteen teams entered. The singles played first and Marquis won down to the semi-finals where he was defeated by a boy from Clinton, the subse- quent winner of the tournament. Marquis then played the loser in the semi-finals of the other bracket. By winning this match he got third place in the tournament. ' PAUL PAGE POLE VAULT GEORGE BURNS -. Albert Nigh and Douglas Daughtrey, although both playing a fine brand of tennis, ran into bad luck at the very start. They drew for their first match, Mexico, the team that was destined to win first place. It appeared at first as if our boys would win easily, but Mexico, by some 'tbreaks finally defeated them. May 1 was the State Tennis Tourna- ment at Columbia. and our team went with Ralph McConnell in Daughtrey's place. Be- cause of some incorrect information the boys arrived too late to enter the tournament and so were beaten out of a chance for State honors. The next tournament, The Missouri Valley Tournament at St. Joseph, May 16, comes after this book goes to press but we have high expectations of our team winning honors there. Now that tennis is started anew in the High School, we sincerely hope that it will be kept up from year to year, for it is one of the best and cleanest sports and one that will surely benefit both the individul and the s:hool. As a whole William Chrisman has had a very successful year in athletics and we hope that it has just as good a record to show next year.

At the Founders Day Program given by the Parent Teacher Association. the girls M Club represented William Chrisman with several dances and songs. Every M girl has taken in hand several new girls and has coached them in winning the required points so that they may become NM girls this year. Every girl is urged to become an 'lM girl, not for the various pleasures in which they partake, but to learn the essentials of sports- man ship, clean play and right living, The qualifications which any girl must meet to make her state HMM are numerous and rigid. This makes a club made up of the very best of girls. To gain this M a girl must meet approval in general health, good posture, and have excellent grades to fuhll the re- quired scholarship standing. Not only must she have these basic essentials but she must qualify in the major sports for girls which are: swimming, basketball, volleyball, baseball, and some track work and minor points. Besides these she must go on ten 16-mile hikes. While it is work to attain these qualifi- cations, it furnishes pleasure for the girls and bands them together in one rank as the fittest and most capable girls in scholarship and activities in the s:hool. A large number of new girls were taken into the orglnizition the evening ofthe May Frolic.

But next year the halls will be silent, for Miss Smith will be provided, in the new annex, with a sound- proof room and all modern musical equipment. n In the morning she devotes her time' to supervision in all the grade schools and Junior High, which makes her the best known teacher throughout the system. I-Ier success is evidenced by the fact that every year awards, prizes, andhonors are gained by the music department. Besides her regular duties she has arranged musical numbers for the Junior, Senior, Parent- Teacher Association, Daughters of the Revolution, and faculty plays. The willingness of a faculty member to cooperate with the community as well as the school is most estimablea ' c Qaj 75 . Operetta The Operetta UPicklcs was presented in the William Chrisman auditorium on February 7th and Sth by the Glee Club under the direc- tion of Miss Jessie Smith. Jonas I-I. Pennington, Douglas Wright, an American millionaire pickle manufacturer of Peter' Piper Pickles, with his daughter June, La Rena Bullard, arrives in Vienna amidst preparations for the annual carnival, To his consternation he finds J. jennison Jones, Cleo Nesbitt, his advertising expert, advertising Pennington's Peter Piper Pickles too Well. An old acquaintance, Lady Vivian, Doris Blake, a charming wealthy English widow, also arrives on her annual quest in search of her daughter, who was lost near Vienna at carnival time when a baby. Captain Kinski, I-Iomer Kelley, a pompous police chief, plots to substitute Louisa, Marjorie Ward, the Waitress in the Inn of Weurtzelpraetor belonging to I-Ians Maier, Robert De Tray, for the lost child of Lady Vivian and marry her for her fortune. Captain Kinski was ably aided by his faithful sleuths Bumski, Dick Kress, and Rumski, Kenneth Smith-the comedians. A band of gypsies visits the carnival led by Iigo, Emlyn Fender, the chieftain, and his supposed daughter Ilona, Maurine Nace. Events lead all to the gypsy camp, where a magic pool reveals the face of Lady Vivian's daughter. Arthur Crefont, Carwin Criley, a poor artist wins recognition of his art and also the hand of June Pennington. Lady Vivian consents to become Mrs. Pen- nington, Kinski's plot is exposed, Ilona is restored to her mother and Jones is rewarded with success in his campaign for the hand of Ilona. There were choruses of Tourists, Burgers, Viennese Maidens, Waiters, and Gypsies, composed of the members of the Glee Club. . i 1 THE GLEAM 1 A 1 -... i I I 1 I ' !

Under these othcers the Glee Club has accomplished a number of things, some of which are: the operetta, assembly programs, and Warrerisburg contests. Soon after the Christmas holidays the Glee Club presented a miscellaneous program in the assembly. Soon after this the operetta was begun and, uncler the excellent direction of Miss Jessie Smith, became one of the best given in the last several years. Each year the Glee Club journeys to Warrens- burg, there to compete for prizes, many of which they bring home with them. Other entries ofthe Music Department are the vocal solos, girl's and boy's, violin solo, piano solo, quartets, for mixed girls' and bays' voices, and orchestra. The quartets chosen from th: Cwlee Club were: Girls-Maurine Nace, Katherine Hills, Margaret Quinn, and Pauline Crawford, Boys-Carwin Criley, Douglas Wright, Verl Jamison and Harold Hutchens.

Consequently the Independence students fought the hardest battles they have ever encountered. Aside from the Bear track team gaining a victory in the athletic events, the other competitions brought to Chrisman nine first and eight second places. The nine first places drew awards of four cups and five medals besides several scholarships. LATIN It was in the Latin contests that we appropriated nearly everything, five first and two second places. In first year Latin, Richard Riddell of Independence Junior High, won second, second year Latin, Catherine Crockett of William Chrisman, second, third year Latin, Albert Nigh, first, and fourth year Latin, Madge Puckett, first. The Coleman Latin prize, a ten dollar gold piece, was awarded to Esther May Wrightg the field trophy cup was won by a team composing Madge Puckett, Martha Basye and Esther May Wright, and the Sodalitas Latina cup for the school winning most places in the contest was presented Chrisman. HOME, ECONOMICS The Foods contest was won by the William Chrisman team of Florence Brainard and Ruby Baker as a result of their speed in preparing the luncheon and their excellence in serving it. In Home Nursing our team made up of Thelma Moorman and Wanda Holman received second place. - LITERARY In the Literary contests, including debate, extemporaneous speaking, the one-act play, girls' and boys' declamation and spelling, in which Chrisman took the three first places and one second last year, this time it got only one place, the second,won by Jack Chiles again in boys, declamation. Independence had no entrants in the debate or in either of the novice events in typewriting and shorthand. However, in amateur typewriting we secured second place and a first in shorthand, by Mary N igh and Wil- liam Weitzel, respectively. MUSIC X The IVIusic competition yielded Chrisman a first place again for Class A Orches- tra. First place for girls' vocal solo was taken by Maurine Nate and second places were won in violin solo by Eloise Higgins and the chorus. x I I , il THE GLEAM 97 TRACK The William Chrisman tracksters came out with the long end of the score at this meet. The Bears totaled 29 points, with a close run by Sedalia's 27 2-3 points. This meet was a thriller because the outcome was uncertain until the last event which was the relay. In this meet two records were broken. Etzenhouser lowered the 440 yard by nearly eight tenths of a second and Resch made a new low mark by skimming the 220-yard low hurdles in twenty-six and five tenths seconds, breaking his old mark by nearly a second. These records may be accounted for in the fact that they had to run harder to keep warm because a chilly drizzle prevailed nearly the whole afternoon. This disagreeable rain drenched the field as well as the athletes and spectators who stood around shivering most of the time. This is one of the contests that the Bears had hoped to win, and this much of the season has certainly proven a success. In the 100 yard dash, Resch and Weitzel ranked second and third respectively, Etzenhouser second in 120 yard high hurdles, Weitzel first in the 220 yard dash, Etzenhouser first in the 440 yard dash, Resch first in 220 low hurdlesg Linson third in discus, Linson third in shot put, Page tied for third in pole vault, and Indepen- dence first in relay. V SUMMARY OF SCHOOL ACTIVITIES This year Chrisman has participated in nearly every activity and emerged carrying high the banner of our predecessors, the banner of the victor. The evidence of this banner is shown in the large number of cups, medals, and ribbons contained in the large trophy case of the lower hall. These emblems of victory have been won in literary, musical, art, athletic, debate and scholarship contests. This year we are proud of the fact that our athletic department placed upon the football field a team that went through a whole season without a point being scored against them in any conference game. This we feel is the absolute best any team can possibly do. Not only in football but basketball and track, we are able to point the finger of pride to the wonderful record of old Chrisman. In these three major sports, Chrisman has won first place in the Big Seven for the past two years. Much honor is due to Mr. Lee for his excellent coaching. ' We do not only point to the laurels of the athletic teams, but push on to other cups and medals won by our music and scholastic groups. This year the debating team has won many contests in the name of William Chrisman. Several times during the past year some representative of Chrisman has won honors in literary contests. Neither do we limit our field of activities to contestsg for this year several plays have been given by different classes and the C Club. We scan things farther and find that the Bi-Weekly Gleam is printing a bigger and better paper. Summingeverythingwemaysay that this year our school work has been well sea- soned with successful activities and wish the students of next year the ownership of the banner of victory.

However, this year the students who were not in this department were indeed deprived of being associated with a most interezt- ing, charming and symphathetie friend. Owing to the removal of the Swope Annex, Miss Samp- son's work has been held in the Junior High School building, but we Chrismanites feel that our loss has been a gain to the students of junior High. On the completion of the new annex Miss Sampson will again be in our midst, and how we long for that day,as she always seems to be painting the clouds with sunshine, in fact she just paints her pleasing personality into the hearts of all with whom she works or associates. Art Department , The Art Department is not so large this year as it was last. We have been handicapped on account of the building of the annex, but hope to occupy the new building next year. There have been only morning classes this year, First Year and Advanced Art. We have had training in design, lettering, color, interior decoration, charcoal and many others. Several beautiful posters have been made to send to the Missouri State.Fair. The students are looking forward to the Art Exhibit and to the Art Medal awarded at the close of school. lnthe hnlls of W.C.H.S. you will find new pictures which the Art Department have presented.

X X L THE GLEAM 101 MISS VIRGIE MCCRAY Miss Virgie McCray, our genial teacher of Domestic Science, shows her amiable character by her wonderful smile. Anyone enrolled in her classes is indeed fortunate, because they have a subject that is taught in an interesting and masterful way. Miss McCray hasttaught in our grade schools, our Junior High, and is now with us at Chrisman High. Miss McCray has a B. S. degree in Domestic Science from the Manhattan, Kansas, Teachers' College, and has done several college hours work in other universities since. One aim of her department is to train the pupils how to select and serve the appropriate menus which are conducive to health. Boys are welcome to enroll in the classes. Another aim of the class is to train pupils to buy wisely and serve properly, as well as for good taste. Also they study what makes a diet adequate. Miss McCray is doing a fine work for Chrisrnan I-ligh. Cooking We feel that the domestic science' classes have accomplished a good deal this year. 'There have been fortyfsix girls and two boys enrolled in the two cooking classes during the past year. We appreciate our teacher, Miss Virgie McCray, She has been very patient with us. The classes this year sold candy which they had made and also served cafeteria lunch. - Other interesting projects were practice breakfasts and luncheons. We also served the faculty a Christmas luncheon and the C Club its annual banquet. Our representatives to the Warrensburg contests in cooking were Ruby Baker and Florence Brainard. ln the home nursing contest we were represented by Wanda Holman and Thelma Moorman.

No teacher could be more willing to help her students, nor more anxious for their success than Miss Chiles. She is a very good instructcr in the art of sewing and she teaches them howbto become womanly women along with her instru t- ing. She never scolds when ter girls are noisy, only says that We must not waste time or l.et's be less noisy . No wonder we love her. Mifs Margaret Chiles, who teaches sewing, will always be remembered by her pupils, for her gentle nature. She makes the course very interesting by taking a personal interest in each one - ofthe pupils. She takes a great interest in her work and her efforts are tireless toward making the sewing department a success. Sewing Department The sewing classes of 1929-1930, under the matchless supervision of Miss Margaret Chiles, have accomplished unheard of things this year, in spite of crowded quarters. During the first weeks, considerable class work was necessary for making of hats, study- ing of different seams and materials, and use of various attachments for the machines. However, as the work progressed, each girl became more an-:l more independent, till now, all class-lessons having been eliminated, the group might be a gathering of efficient seam- stresses sewing for their livirg. The department was ably represented at Warrensburg this year by Alice Marie Proctor and Elizabeth Smith.

Mr. Elliott is so completely master of the subject he teaches, and so enthusiastic about his study and work, that the boys and girls in his classes get from him an earnestness of purpose and a solid foundation of the knowledge of the subject he teaches, this is invaluable to them in later years, in college as well as in the work-a-day world. If the question: What are we going to do for scientists in the coming generation? troubles you, go into one of Mr. Elliott's classes some day and see the cooperation between teacher and pupil, listen to question and answer, see details worked out, student and professor experimenting together, and you will realize that many scientists are coming from these groups. MR. LOUIS A. NEBGEN William Chrisman is fortunate to have again secured the services of a William Jewell graduate, Mr. Louis A. Nebgen. He came to us this year as an instructor in Biology and Hygiene. Science was his major subject in college, biology being the chief study. Mr. Nebgen has been most successful in his work as a teacher, and has at all times cooperated willingly with the faculty and students. The G. S. B. Literary Society has been happy in having him as their Assistant Sponsor and are appreciative of his interest. Whenever the track or debate teams need an extra leader he is ready to oblige. We are indeed glad to claim Mr. Nebgen as a member of our faculty. J. V. ENDICOTT superior quality of the work done. The genialAgriculture teacher, Mr. V. Endicott, who has been with the Chrisman High School faculty for the past six years received his education at the Central Missouri State Teachers College, Warrensburg, Missouri, the University of Colorado and the University of Missouri. He holds the degree of B. S in ' Education from the Teachers' College. . He is also an instructor in History. This year he helped his pupils write a dramatization of the French Revolution of 1789 which the class presented in Assembly. The manuscript Mr. Endi cott presented to'Dr. Germane of Missouri University, in return for which he received a very complimentary letter regarding the ,af I It c o f Y l i 104 THE GLEAM MISS MARY LUCAS When in the years to come, we look back upon our years at Chrisman, one of the faces sure to come to our minds will be that of Miss Mary Lucas. -Through the perplexities of Geometrical theorems, through our study of crises in history, and as sponsor of the Nautilus Literary Society, Miss Lucas has been not only an able but a sympathetic guide. To the members of the class of 1930, Miss Lucas h1s been an invaluable friend. In our sophomore year she initiated us into the traditions of Chrismang as sponsor again in our junior year she continued to aid us in our troubles, she hls been a ready confi- responsible for us as a class, any senior in diffi:ulty. Miss Lucas claims Warrensburg as her alma mater, but she has taken summer courses at Chicago, Wisconsin and Boulder. MISS MOORE Enlarged Commercial enrollment made it necessary to engage another teacher to school us along thatlline. Good luck came to Chrisman in the person of Miss Moore who, with ease and agility, slipped into the regime of school activities. It didn't take long for her to become acquainted with the students and they reciprocated the attitude and manner of their new-found friend and adviser. Judging by the excellent representation of Chrisman's commercial students at Warrensburg, it is not at all difficult to realize what an able instructor we have added to our ranks. It requires a great deal of patience in both teacher and pupil to spend hour after hour in preparation for such an event. With true sincerity we claim her as our own. MR. MORRIS Thus draws to: a glorious close the twenty eighth year of Mr Morris's career in the Independence school system. Chrisrnan would truly be regretful if it should be denied the cheerful presence of this kindly professor. While he never assumes a conspicuous position in the faculty you can depend on him to the last and rest assured that Mr. Morris will baclc you rain or shine. In teaching his classes he not only is exceedingly well versed in the subject of Mechanical Drawing but understands thoroughly the art of communicating this knowledge to the students. Because of this rare ability it is a pleasure to be numbered in his classes. We ever find him willing to help in any capacity that might re- quire his assistance and count him a friend to all. ,. f ,W w f ,, , ' , V.1ff.,Vm I LL .,f.,.N N 1 ,Q A -e p .I ,A , , r c.. ,,,w,,fL. f- sa., V1 I K 'I' 7V rf i , 'fN..f ' J I f' .

I I 1 THE CLEAM MISS PAULINE JONES lt is with much pride that we are able to point to the work of Miss Pauline jones as an art instructor this year at junior High School. Although she is isolated from our building, so that few Chrismanites are honored with her acquaintance, We feel that she is a part of us. It is unusually gratifying to see a graduate of William Chrisman return to her alma mater and make good so splendidly. After graduating from Chrisman, Miss jones enrolled at Junior College in Kansas City, hnally completing her college work with a two-year course at Missouri University. Then armed with an A. B. degree, she continued her education with work at the Central Missouri State Teachers' College at Warrens- burg and specialized in art at the Kansas City Art Institute. Miss Jones has made the teaching of art her speciaity and has already proved herself a willing and able instructor. MRS. DESI-IAZO For the past six years the position of Secretzry for the office has been taken by Mrs. DeShazo, Though the duties have been large and many, they have been carefully and capably done. Not only are the duties of the office done in preparing statistics and official records but help is given to faculty and students whenever possible. Through this extra help given to the students, she has won the friendship and admiration of the entire student body. Mrs. DeShazo has checked the names of students for publications, thus assuring correct spelling. MR, DUNCAN While not a member ofthe faculty, none could be better known or appreciated by faculty and student body than Mr. Duncan. Mr. Duncan has the official supervision of the janitor Work and school buildings. Seldom is Mr. Duncan needed but what he can be found in the building. His work varies from looking for lost articles to the fixing of broken furniture. Whenever a chair, a table or anything breaks, the teacherls cry is to call Mr.Duncan. Besides being the ofhcial janitor and supervisor, he is one of the best story tellers. His supply of funny stories is inexhaustible. Mr. Duncan's interest in the school is equal to any student's. I I I 106 THE GLEAM ' RALPH M cCONNELL During the first semester. Ralph McConnell fulfilled the office of editor-in-chief of the bi-weekly Gleam rnost ably. Under his leadership the size of the paper itself was enlarged. This enlargement meant that more could be printed in each issue. Quantity was not the only asset, however, for critics who have read the Gleam many years say this paper far excels all Former publications. Bi- Weekly Gleam The Bi-Weekly Gleam Staff of the first semester is to be commended on the excellent work that it accomplished. Though it was smaller than any staff has been for some time, it accomplished a great deal. Under the guidance of Ralph McConnell, the editor, a large num- ber of subscriptions were sold, malcinga larger paper possible. This was a great im- provement over the smaller paper ofthe prev- ious year. A new system of advertising 'Was made use of, block-style ads being utilized in place of the antiquated Square Stuff. Many pictures of interesting places and events were used in order to enliven the columns of the paper. For these reasons, and their untiring zeal, the members ofthe staff are to be commended. Our school is proud of such loyal service as theirs. X 4 l lx 'X THE GLEAM 107 CHARLES SP!-Xl-IR Charles Spahr took up the task of publishing the bi-weekly as competently as if he had had previous experience. He has succeeded in establishing a more favorable attitude in the adf vertizing merchants toward our paper. Charles has encouraged the writing of articles which would be of special interest to the student body as Well as keeping the townspeople in- formed on all high school activi- ties. Bi- Weekly Gleam The work done on our Bi-Weekly Gleam during the first semester has been ably con- tinued by those who succeeded to the Work. A large and well-organized staff was chosen by CharlesSpahr, the editor, and each member was detailed to a special duty which was to be performed speedily and well. The fine work previously done was continued and improved, so that Chrisman has a paper of which to be proud. Each editor aimed at well designed headlines and front pages and their success in doing so is easily noticeable. The supply of funds waswatched carefully, with the result that the paper was as interesting and varied as was possible and there was no running into debt. The staff has done a good work in representing the business and journal- istic ability of our students, and for this Wil- liam Chrisman thanks them sincerely.

We, the staff of 1930, have placed our goal post far out in the field of achievement, and have strived earnestly to reach it. As in running a race, We have kept our eyes and our minds on our big object-a successful, bigger and better Gleam !' By doing thus We hope that we have made our efforts count for much.

She has the ability to present the subject matter in a manner to hold the interest and close attention of her classes. She is one of those tcachers who never tires, but always finds time to help a student outside of regular recitation and to sponsor any worth-while activity. During the past year she has been a willing and helpful sponsor of the George S. Bryant Literary society. Miss McDonald was sponsor of the contest directed by the United Daughters of the Con- federacy. The winner of this essay, Mammy and the Old Plantations showed unusual prep- aration, and reflects much credit to the sponsor in helping to make it a masterpiece of literature. G. S. B. Literary Society The G.S.B.Is feel that they have had an unusually successful year. The outstanding activities for the year were the Annual Fall Party, an Initiation Party, two interesting assemblies, contribution toward a radio for Miss Phelps, a past sponsor, and also selling candy at several football games. The members all feel grateful for the excellent help that the sponsors, Miss MacDonald and Mr. Nebgin, have contributed for the benefit of the society. The following members of the society were outstanding in their work for the school: Jack Chiles, Student President CZJ, Ralph McConnell, Bi-Monthly Editor flj, Howard Woodruff, Senior President C1 The officers for the first semester were: Jack Chiles, Pres, and Howard Woodruff, Vice- Pres.

There were fifteen charter mem- bers. 1 This society was organized in order to recognize more fully .the unselfishness of the boys who, in a sportsmanlike manner, repre- sent their school in athletics and who, at the same time, do their school work so well as to warrent recognition. Eligibility to membership in this cociety is limited to those 'boys earning aletter in Football, Basketball, or Track and whose average in their school work for three con- secutive semesters is-higher than the general average of the school, and who have exempli- fied the highest type of citizenship and sports- manship. 1 . This society, while 'comparatively new to the school, 'has already gained recogni- tion as one of the greatest character building organizations in school. rfvery athlete who has attained this exceptional honor feels justly proud and strives to maintain his high standard. Graduation last year left only seven mem- bers to carry on the work. However, in spite of this handicap they have been quite promi- nant in school Work. ln l'Betty's Last Bet , the -Hirst annual C Club play, four of the fiive male members of the cast were members of this society. On March the first ten new members were taken in, bringing the total active members to seventeen. Of this number, however, ten will graduate. Coach Harry L. Lee, as sponsor of this organization, was instrumental in having this chapter founded in our school. I-le has worked hard for the 'good of the society and We feel that his labor haspnot been in vain.

Two entertaining assemblies were given by the society, the first being a one-actcomedy entitled 'tSeven to One . The second was an excellent miscellaneous program in which the organization presented our old favorites, Buddy and Ruddy. The Shakespeareans attended a large num- ber of the football and basketball games as well as debates and plays, adding much school spirit with their peppy yells and high enthus- iasm. The society won the Senior Play prize money and with a portion of the money, purchased a large bulletin board for their use. Besides their many social activities the Shakespeareans have been outstanding in dramatic and musical circles, a great number of the members being associated with promi- nent organizations in this city as well as in Kansas City. Thus, the society has progressed rapidly through the efforts of every member and guided by the splendid leadership of its sponsors, Miss lcile Barnes and Miss Vergie McCray.

He is always ready to help students, that will apply them- selves, in acquiring the greatest good from the course. He under- stands his subject thoroughly and possesses those qualities that are necessary to make others under- I stand it. His classes are in- teresting and varied in delightful Ways, so that it is fun under his direction to work problems, learn formulas, balance equations, and carry on numerous experiments that deal with some of the mys- teries of Chemistry, Aside from his duties as a teacher, he has been for two years an active and capable sponsor of the Athenian Literary Society. I Athenian Literary Society Since its organization several years ago, the Athenian Society has endeavored to attain the highest possible standard of scholarship and service. The Athenians have long been one of Chris- rr1an's leading organizations. lts members have attained high honors in every line. Kenneth Curtis was Student President first semester, Charles Spahr was Bi-Monthly Editor last semester, Merrill Etzenhouser was our capable football captain and Emlyn Fender was Art Editor on the Annual. The officers for the first semester vfere: Pres., Charles Spahr, Vice-Pres., Clifford Long, Sec., Mark Gibsong Treas, Irwin Fender.

She tells with equal pleasure of her delight in the achievements of those who follow this vocation. As sponsor of the Honor Society Miss Potter's influence for the good and worth-while things of life is very marked: Part of Miss Potter's time and attention is devoted to the work of sponsoring the bi-monthly publication. She is a most will- ing aid to the staff.

A true friend, a jolly com- panion, a wise sponsor and counselor, and an efficient teache er,-what more need we add? She teaches History, Civics, Economics and Sociology and besides these strenuous subjects she finds time to sponsor the Nautilus Literary Society. Miss Gibbons has been a very industrious' and willing worker in the Parent-Teacher Association V this year and has made numerous talks before this group. Admired and respected by her co-workers and pupils, Miss Gibbons is truly one of Chris- man's favorite teachers. autilus Li erary Society The officers for. the first semester were: President--Fern Russell, and VicefPresident- Alene Twyman. For the second semester they were: President-Rachael Bullard, and Vice-President-Gwendolyn Coon. The Nautilus Literary Society was organized in 1919, being the first girls' society formed in William Chrisman. ln addition to the regular bi-monthly pro- grams, the society has given two assemblies, one for the Sedalia football game and the other a play entitled HSo's your Aunt Annall. One of the outstanding events in the society was a Mothers' reception. An entertaining program was given, followed by refresh- ments. The sponsors for 1929-1930 are Miss Mary Alice Gibbons and Miss Mary Luzas. -- - - A , Left to Right: Top Row: Louise Rogers, Pauline Brune, Minnie Grube, Gertrude Sisk, Marguerite Fieker, Amelia Cairns, Lucile Williams, Alene Twyman, Madge Puckett, Vaughny Reese.

He is very popular, both with the faculty and the student body, as well as his classes. He frequently offers special help to those who find Spanish hard, proving that he is anxious to help those who want to know more about their work. Any student, after finishing the course in Spanish, has the re- membrance of a very helpful teacher. - Mr. Pigg's work on the Bi- Weekly Cvleam has been of great value and we feel very fortunate to have him as an instructor in our school system. The Spanish Club 'los Pensadores Castellanosf' the name of the Spanish Club, was organized in 1926 and for the past two years it has been successfully sponsored by Senor L. Dale Pigg. . The interest of the Spanish Club has been kept alive by many interesting programs pre- pared by willing committees. The Spanish Club had an open meeting in which a very entertaining lecture was presented by Senor Clarence Chrisman, a Spanish enthusiast who has studied abroad and who now is an instructor of Spanish at William Jewell College. This lecture was inspirational and created more inti- mate contact with the Spanish language and customs.

Miss Linn was not a stranger in the school system and to many ofthe students, for shewas trans- ferred from the' junior High School Where she had taught three years previously. She received her A. B. degree from Leland Stanford University and her A. M. from Columbia University. She has taught sophomore, junior, and senior English this year and has spon- sored the Forum, the organiza- tion from which is produced debaters, orators and public speakers in general. She had charge of the Stands oratorical contest in which Chrisman won first and second places in the county contest, Olive Curtis winning first with The Living Constitution and Albert Nigh second with The Constitution in the Life of the lndividualf' . The Forum The Forum was organized in 1928 for the purpose of sponsoring all types of public speaking. This club is one of the most active in school, giving numerous assembly pro- grams, as well as entering members in debate, clramatics, the Star's Oratorical Contest and the Warrensburg contests which 'include decla- mation and extemporaneouls speaking. The club programs are both amusing and instructive. Deviating from the regular in- structive routine, they tend to stimulate and further the interest of every member, by having after dinner speeches, toasts, invectives, ex- temporaneous talks and orations. The officers for the first semester were: President ........................ Albert Nigh Vice-President ......., William Prewitt For the second semester: ' President ...................,....

X THE GLEAM 123 MISS WITT Miss Witt is a graduate of C. M. S. T. C. at Warrensburg, Missouri, having received her degree, B. S., in Education, in 1926. For a number of years she has been engaged in the teach- ing of Commercial subjects. She was the First teacher to begin Commercial work in the Inde- pendence High School. For the past three years she has taught shorthand and typing here. Not only has she proved to be an excellent and conscien- tious teacher, but a great help to the system as a whole. Anyone associated with Gleam work cannot overfestimate her assistance. Students who have l been fortunate enough to have her for a teacher have a thorough knowledge ot' the subject and a lasting friendship. The Commercial Club Ye Merrie Stenos' Club , the first com- mercial club in William Chrisman,was organ- ized in May, 1929, under the sponsorship of Miss Witt. The charter members ofthe Club were those students taking shorthand and typing, and provision was made for the ad- mission of students taking either typing or bookkeeping. The othcers for the first semester were: President, -lazk Waltersg Secretary, Ferne Russellg and for the'second semester: Mary Nigh, President, Clifford Long, Secretary. The Club has had many interesting programs during the year. There was a mock trial of an inefficient Stenographerng Mr, Rufus Burrus made a talk about the necessary quali- ties of a good stenographer:'interesting talks were made at different meetings of the Club by the members. Ye Merrie Stenos' Club has had one year of successful existence, and holds good promise of continuing. , ix. Left to Right: Top Row: Novilla Gott, J. D.

Q MAY 132 THE GLEAM THE SCATTERBRAI Vol. 1-No. o BUGHOUSE, Mo. 1930 FINAL EDITION THE PRIVATE LIFE OF A PRINCIPAL MR. HANTHORN As proof to all believing that Mr. I-Ianthornls activities are confined to school affairs, we followed him home recently. Hiding inadequately behind bushes, we. saw him lay aside hat and coat, roll up his sleeves, and proceed to mow the yard with fervor that betokened either anger or else long-bottled ener- gy. We sympathized heartily, but our pity soon changed to envy as he became speedily involved in a baseball game with several three-year-old swat kings. Realizing that our principal was slowly losing ground, we longed tolintercept, but fearing to dis- close our presence, slunk away, a wiser group than before. THE PRIVATE LIFE OF A TEACHER MISS MARY LUCAS For several weeks, one of the familiar faces at Chrisman was missing. Miss Lucas wasia temporary invalid because of a disastrous fall in which her face suffered considerably. One day a brilliant idea came to her mind. Where it started, no- body knows. To think was but to act. A slip, a fall, and facial remodeling was necessary. In choosing a moral for the episode, Miss Lucas quoted several: Pride goeth after a fall. l My face is my Cdoctor'sj for- tvine. ' lllt is always the woman who I ays. X l l 1 Xl Q R 1 . x THE PRIVATE LIFE OF A JANITOR . Early morning found a jani- tor ofWil1iam Chrisman hasten- ing toward that famous building. No sooner had he arrived than out came brushes, mops, and elbow-grease to make the premises entirely spotless before the onset of the student army. But what despair must have been their's to see, in an incredi- bly short time, papers, gum- wrappers, bits of chalk, and dust obscuring almost entirely the original color of the floor. Something must be done, so out came the faithful brooms and were soon being pushed about by the equally faithful arms. How useless their efforts, in mid-after- noon the hustling crowd de- parted, leaving a similar litter in its wake. - THE PRIVATE' LIFE OF A STUDENT johnny Brown awoke early Monday morning to glare hate- fully at the clamoring alarm- clock. I-Iis first thoughts were to identify himself, then decide inhisown mindwhich day of the week it might be. I-Iaving, to his great chagrin, satisfied himself that Monday demanded' his attendance at school, he dressed hurriedly, gulped a scanty breakfast, and, snatching his books from the place they had occupied since Friday afternoon, dashed to the prison-house. Once in the class-rooms, he thankfully finished his nap, then chewed gum when awakened by some inconsiderate instructor. WHAT THE STUDY HALL DESK THINKS ABOUT Well, here I sit in the precise position I have occupied all year and for a good many years previous to this. It is exceedingly strange how bored one may be- come of fame. For many a day I have occupied the limelight perched atop that dingy wooden platform in study-hall. I have even undergone severe pain at times for the sake of glory. Who knows how I suffer from the blows administered by Mrs. Moore? I am literally covered with scars that are sharply re- miniscent of the disobedience of certain pupils, would that they knew what a martyr I am. WHAT THE ANNUAL TI-IINKS ABOUT I first entered William Chris- man I-Iigh School as a mere sheaf of paper-no character, no substance, no individuality, just a stack of blank pages. I had a backbone and an overcoat equally undistinguished. I-Iowever, it was not long before I carried divers geometric lines and marks all over my faces. It was painful but Ito be endured. The next steps disgusted me! Who cares about having dinky photos and pictures glued all over one's head. My features are by now entirely obscured, to be sure, there are those who prefer the new con- tours,but for my part, I hate to have my beautiful, clear complex- ion entirely ruined. Still, Life has its compensations. A com- plete new suit of clothes has been presented to me-blue with gold trimmings.

BANISTER SLIDING CONTEST The past season had been a howling success for the Seniors until the second Tuesday of last week when the Juniors Won the Annual Bannister Sliding Con- test by the narrow margin of six inches lead and two trouser holes. For weeks the Junior Class, captained' by Burgess Overcast, and the Senior Class, who had chosen Christian Barker as Cap- tain, had trained for this ath- letic climax and lived on a diet of raw eggs, grape fruit, beans, vinegar, milk and honey. Not only had they prepared their physique but they had acquired practice by shortening the time' necessary to come from 303 to 213 by the use of the banister. When the time came for the contest, the Skinny Six fthe Juniors, appeared in bright green silk pajamas trimmed in yel- low. The Slippery Sliders fthe 'SeniorsD wore double-worsted trousers and jerseys. Ferdinand Tignor played the Funeral March While the promising contestants took their places at the head of the stairs. The banisters shone like a crystal and when touched they felt like abanana peeling when it comes in contact with one's heel. The race was a closeone,but when everything was figured and counted it was found that the Skinny Six, captained by Tiny Burgess, won by a few inches because an unforeseen tack obstructed the time of Christian Barker. The winners were presented a wonderful oration by Mr. Hanthorn on the Merits of Athletics. Customer:--HWhat kind of powder would you advise me to use for my face? Clerk--HGunpowder. A RADIO MIXUP Following is the experience of a man who had just installed a radio. I-le tuned in, getting three stations on the same wave length. One was a man telling the condition of roads, one was a minister, and the third was a lecturer on poultry. I-Iere is what he heard. The Old Testament tells us baby chicks should detour one mile south of Salina and listen to the words ofthe prophets. Be careful in selection of your eggs, and you will find hard surfaced roads on to Garden City. We find in Genesis that the roads are muddy just west of the henhouse and straw is essential if you would save your soul. After passing through Leavenworth, turn north of Jericho to avoid cholera. Three wise men bought a largefsized incubator on account of a large detour. The baby chicks were bothered with the pip and a bond issue is being talked of in the Holy City. Keep the feet clean and dry, live a life of righteousness and turn one mile south of the school house. While the chickens were hatching the Lord caused Noah to build an ark one mile south of Topeka. It rained forty days and forty nights, causing a mile washout and diluted the chickens'water. just West of the brooder-house, many tourists from the House of David are trying the Ply- mouths mixed with concrete and a desire to do right. The road to salvation is under repair,rnaking it necessary to keep seventy de- grees in the brooder. Many are called but few are luckyunless they find hard road between Lawrence and the henhouse.
