' Board of Education Perhaps the most public-spirited group of people in Independence is the Board of Education. They Work faith- fully and diligently on the many prob- lems connected With the managing of our school system. Asa result of the efforts of the Board of Education the City of Inde- pendence has a fine system of Well- managed schools of which it is proud. William Chrisman High School is one of the nrst-class schools of the North Central Association and stands as a tribute to the labors of the Board of Education. Our high school is large and Well e equipped. Its students are oiered more than forty credits due to the Wisdom of the Board in employing a faculty quali- fied to teach a large number of subjects One of the many difficult tasks of the Boaid of Education is to choose the MR. ALBERT M. OTT an extremely high rating which is one of the factors making it an honored school The Board has charge of a large business concern and there is about a quarter of a million dollars in property and buildings of the educational system of Inde- pendence. These Board members are always deeply interested in the extra-curricular activities of the students. They give them every encouragement they can in the student contests-an encouragement that is invaluable to the contestant. Each member of the Board of Education is a faithful individual sacrificing faculties for each of the different schools. The faculty of William Chrisman has his time to give service to his community Their time is given with no recompense. There have been people who served as members of the Board in the past Whose records were very outstanding. One of the most loyal of these people Was Mr. John Sea. He served as a member of the Board for twenty-five years. His untiring Work typzcl :em o th B zz rl f Ed can 71 A ' zz 'on f f 4 o 1' 0 u 'o 16 .. ,...- .. .

Board of Education l in this group Will be long remembered and will stand as an aim to be achieved by his successors. A Mrs, Dickinson and Mrs. Erickson have the distinction of being the first ladies to serve on the Board of Educa- tion. They both were faith- ful Workers Whose services were a great help. Their successors are Mrs. Adron Randall and Mrs. Jesse continuing their good Work. Mr. John Davis, another faithful member, also served on the Board of Education for many years. His services Were valuable and greatly appreciated. The present president, Mr. Albert M. Ott, is an outstanding worker and an inspiration to the rest of the group. He has served our community faithfully for many years as a Board member and is certainly deserving of his office. Much credit should be given to the secretary, Mr. John Hinde. He is a very efficient worker and has performed the duties of his office in a pleasing manner for several years. The present Board members are all giving their services to one of the best causes in the community, and the results of their efforts are to be commended. The students of William Chrisman Wish to express their thanks to the Board of Education for the services they have received from it. Life has been made pleasanter for the faculty and students of William Chris- man this year through the Work of Mr. William Kreeger, head custodian, and his coworkers, Mr. George Bullock, Mr. Bert McKim, Mr. John W. Poole, Mr. William Thompson, Mr. John Greer, and Mr. Toni Ritter.

Street is the representative of the schools and of the people of the city. He sees both sides of the question, and through his deep under- standing of them he brings about a harmonious cooperation. It is to him that William Chrisman students can attribute much of their success during the past year. Mr. Street has a quiet efficiency in working out the many problems that confront him. He has made many improvements in the school system, and is constantly striving to make it better. His decisions are very wise, and the changes and im- provements he makes are successful. He has a keen understanding of human nature, and is always willing to help any student MR. E. B- STREET work out the problems that face him. By wise counsel and advice he helps those who come to him to achieve success and turn defeat into victory. He has a peculiar quality of knowing how to deal with people. He comes in contact with all types, and to each one he gives the sympathetic understanding he needs, and his gift of leadership makes it possible for him to control any situation that may arise. f Mr. Street is always thinking of new ways of making school life interesting for the students, and he has won their friendship by giving his own. The entire student body of William Chrisman and the Senior Class in particular, wishes to extend its thanks and appreciation to Mr. Street for his kindly guidance and invaluable aid during the past year. Miss Chastain, the secretary in Mr. Street's office, is a very capable and eiiicient person. She handles the work in a very pleasing manner. Her tasks are many and varied, and she attends to them all with the same deftness. Every report she makes shows careful attention and preparation. She is always friendly and willing to help anyone coming to her for information. Mn. S1'n1zz1 s Oyificia Mr. Wood, zz book .f!lIL'A'h1ll7l,' a s1udcnz,' Miss K.

Hanthorn. He is one to whom any and all students may go for advice when they are in diliiculty and be certain of receiving wise counsel, encouragement, and aid in the solution of their problems. Mr. Hanthorn is always ready and waiting to give his fine co- operation in any worthwhile undertaking the students attempt. Because of his broad education, he is capable of conducting nearly any class and is glad to help us with our lessons. His long experience in managing not only the regular schedule of classes, but all the extra organizations as well, has given him the ability to cope with situations new to the students, and MR- l' N' HANTHORN they are assured that his suggestions are reliable. Perhaps this intelligent, dependable personality is one of the reasons why non- resident students choose to attend William Chrisman. Mr. Hanthorn's friendliness encircles everyone who comes to the school and makes them happier. To him the student body feels a debt of gratitude that they cannot express in words, but it is a debt that they will not soon forget. ' Not less appreciated by the Chrisman students than he who presides over the office, is his secretary, Mrs. L. E. DeShazo. Besides efficiently taking care of the regu- lar routine of office duties, she manages to do the little things that have endeared her kind, cheerful, and sympathizing personality to those who attend Chrisman. This year Miss Josephine Comboy, assistant to Mrs, DeShazo, has become a familiar figure. Her friendliness and utter lack of an air of superiority in dealing with both students and teachers assure her of being kindly remembered by those who graduate this year, and being looked for by the undergraduates when school opens next September.

Chrisman is indeed fortunate in having such a wide variety of subjects from which students may arrange their courses. Our class room views represent only a few of our many interesting classes. Practically all views show the students at w'ork. Classes were interrupted that we might attain this effect: to portray our school life while in action. :Students find it exceedingly difficult to determine which classes are the most interesting, due to the fact that the instructors are attempting to present superior and interesting material.

S., '36 RAYMOND REED ERNEST SNIDER 39 l Senior Class History Radiogram from the good ship Chrismcm an- nounces the March of Time for the Senior Class of 1936. For four years the ClaSS has followed the gleam of knowledge and service, hoping that some day they might catch a tiny ray of that elu- sive beacon light, Learning. - In September of 1932, when the situation in Manchuria was becoming hot, the Olympics were in full swing, and Von Hindenburg was re- elected in Germany, a class began its career which would soon sweep the majestic halls of Chrisman. I Will! I Won't, the freshman play, drew large crowds to the Junior High Auditorium. Carson Rowie and Elnora Short declined Latin nouns and conjugated Latin verbs at the Warrensburg Contest. Time Marches On ! The sophomore class of 1933, inspired by the growing poise of the juniors and weighty studi- ousness of the seniors, soon lost its timidity. The Man in the Green Shirt, the class play, proved to be a popular one. A sophomore, Myrelle McClain, had the lead in the annual operetta, , Carson Rowe again represented his class in Latin at Warrensburg. Time Marches On I As juniors in 1934, the class blossomed out in a glory of achievement. Athletics, that stirring spur to School spirit and enthusiasm, drew its best material from the junior class. The Whole Town's Talking was one of the most entertaining plays put on at William Chrisman Hi h Sch l D g oo . orothy and Eleanor Fairbanks shared honors with Ot' B ' ' ' is rown 1n keeping the audience guessing throughout the performance. Outstanding members of the music department came from the junior class. Myrelle McClain and Elmer Pearson both juniors had lead ' h , , s 1n t e operetta, The Tea House of Sing Lo. Anna Belle Soule was editor-in-chief of the Efnxvoy durin th l t ' I g e as semester. Joe Ba1leylG1bson and Ruby Crockett were host and hostess at the J unior-Senior 40 Senior Class History Reception, and Fred Stockdale acted as master of ceremonies. A-s representatives in the field of Declamation, Dorothy Fairbanks won second place in Dramatic, and Dedricks Childers won the State contest in Humorous Declamation. Time Marches On I September, 1935, ushered in the most out- standing of all four years in high school, the final spurt, the last chance to make an impression-the Senior year. The field of drama proved to be a choice for wide opportunity from the first. A series of short, one-act plays, presented at various intervals in the year, led up to the very dramatic Christmas play, Oh Little Town of Bethlehem, in which Maxine Willis and Teddy Beck had the leads, sup- ported by a large cast, and the final success of the year, Tom Sawyer. Roger T. Sermon played the immortal Tom, and Elizabeth Ware, Becky. As a last chance to fight for Chrisman, many of the senior boys did outstanding work in the field of athletics. Jack Ettinger, Leroy Downs, and Jude Christensen were probably the most all-round athletes of the year. Ingirls' athletics Lorraine Hatch was prob- ably the most all-round athlete. Our debate team flourished under the leader- ship of Miss Northern, Marge Watkins and Vir- ginia Tanner, both seniors, were on the first team. Representatives in music, declamation, cooking, X typing and stenography also supported their class The Senior Class Day Program was a splen- did success. The senior boys' double quartet sang We Meet Again Tonight. A one-act play, The Olostinate Family, was given. Eveline Burgess and Betty Ann Thice gave piano solos, followed by a tap dance by Virginia Leigh. The girls' trio, all seniors, sang. The program closed with another clever, one-2013 Play, Just Think It OVGF- And now March of Time draws to a close the history of the Senior Class of 1936, as that class itself finishes its career, with the hope that at least a portion of the gleam of knowledge has been captured and retained, knowing that we can never recapture the happiness of our high school days.

M, . . .m.f1-f.1- -:wc : '- - 'hf' D ' ' Junior Class History The members of the junior class of 1906 feel they have completed a very successful year, and hope to do even better as seniors. As freshmen, the juniors helped present the annual A. O. O. A. - A. C. L. play, EUg38'9d by Wednesday, which was directed by Miss Emina Hill and Miss Will Ella Deacon. These juniors took the leads in the play: Frances Newcomer, Louise Green, Harold Barnes, and Doris Thurman. They also took part in the various clubs, such as William Penn, Lincoln Forum, Dramatic, Span- ish, Latin, A. O. O. A., and A. C. L. Clubs. Shirley Perdee and John Paxton were editor- in-chief and press editor, respectively, of the Echo the second semester. The paper was entered in the Missouri Interscholastic Press Association, in which it won superior rating. Ruth Riske, Bar- bara Hacker, Doris Hogan, and Ruth Barwise had articles entered in inldividugi contests. The Echo was entered in contests both in Warrens- burg and Columbia. Many juniors hold a place on the Envoy staff and others are news writers for the paper. Three freshman plays were given instead of one, in order to give more pupils a chance to par- ticipate. F1ash Back was the story of the Civil 'War days, Little Prison took place in an eleva- tor which was stalled on the top floor of the Bon Ton Department Store, Elmer 'was a comedy of actual home life. The casts were: Flash Back -Ruth Riske, Jane Isaacks, and Harold Barnes. Little Prison -Maria Hall, Lorraine Gold, Shirley Perdee, and Margaret Mitchell. Elmer -John Paxton, Mar- vel Mack, Christy Knox, Violet Swenson, Mary Lois Breuer, Barbara Hacker, Frances New- comer, and Edith Ehrenhardt. The playsj which were directed by Miss Compton and Miss Alexander, were a great success. Mr. Blevins Davis, after having seen Little Prison and Elmer, requested that these plays be brought to Chrisman and be given on Chrisman Night, when money gained from the performance is used to send delegates to the contests at Warrens- burg and Columbia. The freshmen felt quite honored that they were asked down to Chrisman. The sophomores accomplished a great thing when they presented Big Cheese with a double cast, a system which is not used extensively in high schools.

Junior Class History Ames, Mr. Biter, and Mr. French were directors of the plays. The junior class is Well represented in ath- letics. These boys played football: Harold Barnes, Donald Harder, Alvin Hobbs, Junior Momyer, Grover Redford, and Harold White. Donald Har- der, Grover Redford, Junior Momyer, and Harold White represented us in basketball. Harold Barnes participated in track. The junior class presented the play, Seven- teen, which was enjoyed by everyone attending. They had as guests Thursday night, November 22, the cast of Seventeen from Manual High School -s in Kansas City. The juniors spend their money buying new magazines to be put in the library Where everyone can use them. Mr. Blackmore, Mr. Nebgen, and Miss Bryant directed the play. On January 21 Mr. Nebgen started to teach at r--i Northeast High School in Kansas City. The class ,,,1..... was sorry to lose Mr. Nebgen. Friday, February 14, the juniors presented a comedy, Little Blufferj' in assembly. It cer- tainly Was a comedy and held the interest of every- one. The characters were: Billy Johnson, Martha Logan, Miriam Latimer, Maria Hall, and Victor Kipp. Officers for the junior class, first semester, ' X Were: President, Billy Wilson, vice president, Fred Springer, secretary, Alice Willis, treasurers, Miriam Latimer and Ralph Yankee, and reporter, Frances Newcomer. Second semester: President Alvin Hobbs, vice president, Christy Knox, sec- retary, Barbara Hacker, treasurers, Billy John- son and Susan Witthar, and reporter, Alice Willis. The Junior-Senior Reception is one of the outstanding events of the year, in which the juniors entertain the seniors. Everyone had a grand time. The faculty was invited and each brought a companion. The hosts and hostesses Were: Billy Wilson and Alice Willis, and Alvin Hobbs and Barbara Hacker. Christy Knox Was the master of ceremonies during the dance. The committees worked hard and as a result a very original scheme was carried out. The gym was beautifully deco- rated for those who wished to dance, and the study hall equally as pretty for the non- dancers. 47 L- , X 4'5- i' fa' :I Fa , -.

National l-lonor Society In the year 1924, Chapter 266 of the National Honor Society was organized in Wil- liam Chrisman High School. Approximately fifteen per cent of the graduating class ' may be taken into the society each year. Membership in the society is based on four requirements: Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. To be eligible for membership a student must make grades that place him in the upper one third of his class. Leadership is shown in the class room as well as in outside activities. Service rendered to the school and the faculty is taken into consideration in choosing the members. The fourth point, character, is also seriously considered. . Twelve members, or five per cent of the class, were taken in at the close of their junior year. These twelve members were Otis Brown, Ruby Crockett, Dorothy Fair- banks, Eleanor Fairbanks, Tom I-Iinde, Myrelle McClain, Jack Ragan, Carson Rowe, Roger T. Sermon, Anna Belle Soule, Mary Margaret Street, and Virginia Tanner. The remaining ten per cent, or twenty-eight members, were taken in.at the end of their senior year. An assembly given by the older members was presented in March, and the new members were welcomed into the society. No one in the assembly, not even the old members, knew the names of the persons to be taken in until the list was read off by the Fairbanks twins. Each new member was presented a ribbon to be worn for the day as an identification badge of honor. To be elected to the National Honor Society is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a high school student. The sponsor of the society has always been Miss Mabel Potter. Her helpful guid- ance is deeply appreciated by the members. E 56 OFFICERS First Semester Prmdcfiz k......... MAXINE Bunn Via' President -.

The Athenian Literary Society was organized in the year 1920, Mr, D. C. Elliott being its first sponsor. The aim of the society has been social and scholastic activities for its members. The high ranking, Wlhich was soon attained by the society, has been retained since.- ' Eleven members of this organization were elected to the National Honor Society, three of them in their junior year. Many high positions in school life Were held by its members this year, among them the senior and junior class presidencies, the editor-in- chief of the Envoy, thus continuing the tradition of Athenian leadership. Many former Athenians have become prominent in the business and professional World. As their annual assembly program the Athenians presented a play entitled, A Hus- band of Mother's Choice. In this play the feminine roles Were taken by the members of the society, With very entertaining results. The play was ably directed by Mr. Earl Page, co-sponsor of the society. Early in the school year the old members entertained prospective Athenians with a picnic at Hill Park. The Athenians, as usual, adopted a needy family at Christmas time, each member contributing some article to the basket. The Athenians at each bi-Weekly meeting were entertained by programs, both instructive and interesting, arranged by the vice president. The membership of the society numbers about fifty students. New members are chosen on their scholastic record, their character, leadership, and service. The Athenian Literary Society has always endeavored to uphold these ideals and Will continue to do so in years to come. The Athenian motto is PoiSsumus quocl nos, posse Seimas - We can because we know We can. All members of the society wish to extend their sincerest gratitude to its helpful sponsors, Mr. John Blackmore and Mr. Earl Page. 59 OFFICERS First Semester 1'1'z'xi1le11z ....,. ROOEII T.

Commercial Club Ye Merrie Stenos, or the Commercial Club, made up of those students who take commercial subjects, was organized to obtain a more complete understanding of the business and professional World, to give its members an opportunity to become better acquainted with each otherg to stimulate an interest in their Work. The club has been quite active during the year. With the proceeds of candy sales at various games and plays, outstanding stu-dents Were entered in two commercial con- tests, the first held at Chillicothe, Missouri, and the second at Warrensburg, Missouri. 'Some of the members served as typists for the E fw-oy, others Worked diligently on the Gleam staff 5 all were eager and willing, in the spirit of service, to copy the essays, plays, and orations for students outside of the department, who participated in the various contests. ' ' ' I lj ' ' 'S' Regular meetings were held every second and fourth Monday of each month. After taking care of all business, programs Were given, usually consisting of Hone-act plays, talks, songs, or games, by members of the club. A prominent business man spoke o-n what business men expect of stenographers and secretaries and what stenographers and secretaries may expect to meet in the business World. At one meeting Mr. Davis, of Seattle, Washington, gave a discussion of a new simpli- fied keyboard for typewriters, invented to promote speed and accuracy and ease in learn- ing to type. Instead of one regular meeting, a field trip was made to the Independence tele- phone office. This proved to be not only interesting, but educational, The usual Christmas basket was contributed. To its sponsor, Miss Ada Fallon, the club Wishes to express its gratitude and appre- ciation of her loyal support and splendid cooperation in making the year's activities successful 65 HOSTS and HOSTESSES , ----- ------ 1 AMES McBnooMs 111,111 -H, , ,-... -Nfxoivn Kunrz V-V1 H --,, .....

Cooking Department Cooking always has been a fascinating art, one of the most interesting and varied, and certainly not the easiest to master. The cooking classes of this year have been ex- ploring this art with much interest and enthusiasm. One of the first phases of cooking learned in the cooking department of William Chrisman is the canning and preserving of fruits and Vegetables, and it is one of the most diflicult tasks of the year. Next the student learns how to prepare and serve different .kinds of foods and beverages suitable for breakfast. The next step is the practice breakfasts and luncheons. Groups of students are given the responsibility of preparing a menu, giving due consideration to calories and food values as Well as to the appetizing qualities and attractiveness of the meal. This food is cooked and served by the members of one group for the members of an- other group, Who act as guests. One of the most important studies made in cooking is the selecting of good foods and combining them in a diet which is nutritionally adequate. - Each Christmas the classes devote some time to the making of hard and soft candies. During this time many candy recipes are introduced, which most students have never before attempted. I Another project studied is the type of foods to be prepared and served for invalids. Cafeteria. lunches Were prepared by the students during the cold months. The funds from this were used to purchase this page and for books for those who wanted to study for the Warrensburg Home Nursing Contest. Pefh-HPS 0119 Of the most important reasons Why cooking is such a worthwhile proj- ect to take 1S that it is learned by doing. Its practical problems teach a person that there is no such thing as 1uck. What is commonly known as good luck is really the result of ability and care, 66 ' OFFICERS First Semester Prsfidenz .....

This April the club joined the National Economics Club As- sociation at the State convention in Columbia, Missouri. During the past year the club has developed many interesting projects. These in- cluded an assembly program, a bazaar and bake sale, field trips, and a Mothers' Tea. Early in the -school year the club began ,work on articles for a bazaar which was given in December. The club provided an interesting program for the Home Economics assembly which was given in January. It included two selections by Miss Orr's Chorus Class, and two short one-act plays, directed by Virginia Rose Witthar. The characters in the first play, which was entitled The Proposal, were taken by Robert Jacobs and Jewel Horning. Those of the second play, His First Case, were taken by John Weeks, Edith Campbell, and Frances Grenawalt. In January the members of the club gave the annual Mothers' Tea in honor of their mothers There was a program which consisted of a piano solo by Mary Ruth Sim mons, and a Very Interesting talk by Mrs Jean LeVeare Gates on personality and diet Another interesting project was the Held trip which the club members made to the Journal Post and Coco Cola buildings in Kansas C1ty The club has been under the supervision of two very excellent sponsors Their untning efforts and patience have done much to make the past year a Success Every member wishes to extend his thanks and appreciation to Miss Vergie McCray and Miss Margaret Chiles ' 67 OFFICERS First Semester Prerident .......

MISS Iessui SIxII'I'rI Glee Club The Glee Club, under the excellent sponsorship of Miss Jessie Smith, has completed a year's work -of school and community service. Among the numerous activities of the year were the Warrensburg Central Teachers' Association, at which eight Glee .Club representatives sang in the all-district chorus. On the Armistice program sponsored by the American Legion and broadcast over Kansas City, our Glee Club and Chorus classes made a chorus of one hundred and fifty voices. Their selections were Little Grey Home in the West, Keep the Home Fires Burning, and Now the Day is Over. . The operetta, Oh, Doctor, was colorful, as Well as full of clever lines. The chorus and cast with the director worked hard to make it a huge success. 1 Perhaps one of the best known and most popular of the year's activities was the singing of Christmas carols in the corridors on the last day of school before Christmas. On March 29, a chorus of thirty-five voices sang at the morning service of the First Christian Church. They sang God Liveth E'er, The Heavens Resoundf' and Abide with Me. As has been -the custom for several years, the Glee Club assisted in the commence- ment music and also sang in the Annual,Music Festival on April 17. The Glee Club meets Weekly with a membership of one hundred students, and each member sometime during the year has taken part in school and community service. The quartets, which were chosen from this organization, are as follows: Girls' quar- tet, lldlyrelle McClain, Emma Jeanne Etzenhouser, Loretta Sutton, and Evelyn Powell. , Boys quartet, Elmer Pearson, Bob Riddle, David Allen, and James Stanley. t. illhe Glee Club is always happy and eager to help in any school and community ac 1v1 y. 68 S l I I l --'-- - , r --fv. .,... 1-Q 5-5-J. ,-,...-p..- ms A-:I .... :.. .,-. ... ,--..-.--... -..:. . . ... - - . , OFFICERS First Semester Prcsideni .........

Miss Iizssre SMITH The Orchestra One of the most interesting organizations in school is that of the William Chrisman High School Orchestra under the direction of Miss Jessie Smith. We are proud of the work wlhich they have accomplished this year. There are forty-three members, who have a large repertoire. Each year, until last year, they have added to the collection of trophies in the trophy case, but for the last two years they have been eliminated from the Warrensburg con- tests, as have all class A schools. Since this elimination, the music letters have been awarded on attitude, attendance at public performances, and satisfactory work done in class. The orchestra this year has enjoyed playing at the Senior and Sophomore plays, the Amateur Night, and for the Parent-Teacher meetings. Seventeen members of the orchestra played in the all-district high school orchestra at Warrensburg during the Central Missouri Teachers' Association in October. When the American Legion decided to have the Armistice Day program at the Memorial Building broadcast, they asked to have the orchestra play. Each year Walnut Park Church has asked to hear its music and has appreciated it greatly. The orchestra has given two assemblies at Chrisman and one at Junior High. It also assisted in the commencement music. The American Legion sponsored a Declamation Contest on the Constitution, and again the orchestra was asked to assist on the program. This year Miss Smith has been greatly satisfied with two of the instruments that she has never been able to have before. They are the string bass and the Xylophone, which have added variety and instrumentation. The players are always Willing to do their share in all school activities and affairs of the community. ,111 if V 1 1 511211 131,111 11111111 1111111 1 i111 1111 111111 ,wr 711111 11111111 '111E,1' 113111 1 1 . 1, 1111111 1111'1 1 . 1 '11.11'1 1 1 1111 ,,'11'11f1 1 11'?11f111 ' 1111111 1 11111 11 1 1 11 1 , 1'11 1 1112119 11111 , 1 111111 L .,1f1fl 12111111 111111111 111112 1 11111113 , 111111 111111111 1111.111 1 111111111 1 1111151 I 1 1 11,11 1111111 1 1111 111 1 11111111 111111 111111 11111 1 211 1 1111 1111111 11111 1 11111311 1 111111 1 1111111 1111111 111111511 1211511 15111121 11211111 111111211 1311111 111111111 11' 121' 11111111 11131 1111111 111111111 111111.11 1151 51.1 112115451 111111111 A-11111 1111115 1111111 11 111111 11531111 :11Y11,'1 Gm 'ugh 1 1 if - -...4....,,,....,...,. .. .. .vm -. -.-...-...

The editor-in-chief, h.er assistant, the art editor, and the literary editor were selected before school closed last year. When school opened in September, the staffs were chosen. That was difficult since only a few of those Wishing to do the Work could be chosen. Assisted by Miss Sampson, Miss Chiles, Miss Hill, and Mr. Pigg, the editors planned a dummy. After the 1935 annual was rated, it Was studied in an effort to eliminate its Weaknesses from this year's. The art Workers began immediately to make the Gleoum the most attractive ever published. i Tom Hinde, Maxine Budd, Anna Belle Soule, Esther Bolinger, Elsie Resch, Joe Gibson, Viva Ellen McKim, Gilbert Phillips, and Mary Jane Bean Worked two months collecting, checking, and mounting class pictures. Completing this Work before December 15 secured a thirty per cent discount on the engraving. After the holidays Maxine, Esther, Elsie, and Eleanor Crane, -assisted by Viva Ellen, Thelma Betts, Ruth Barwise, Conard Vankirk, Ruth Riske, Adeline Douglas, and Lucille Campbell, began to design the pages. . In completing the enlarged drawings for the engraver, Joe Bailey and Russell Spahr, because of their experience in mechanical drawing, greatly assisted Esther and Maxine. The able carving of Frank Wilson, William Odom, Conard Vankirk, Arthur Erickson, and Max Duckworth made possible the block printing. Three girls, Esther Bolinger, Bernadine Martin, and Lucille Esgar, a sophomore, proved quite efficient in block cutting. Bernadine Martin rendered unusual service in preparing three dummies. 72 STAFF ASSISTANTS Miss IANIE CHILES ........ Finance Miss NELL E. SAMPsoN ....... Art Miss EMINA C. HILL ......

I Assistant Staff Formerly the opening and division pages were block prints. This year those pages were engraved, making the enlargement of the designs to twice the size necessary, before engraving. This required great skill. The beautiful results justify the added effort. 4 As soon as the art work was sufficiently completed to measure space, the literary staff began their work. Minnie Davis, Ethel McLees, Eveline Burgess, and Mary Margaret .Street not only wrote their own assignments but corrected and revised other articles. Elnora Short, Imogene Dixon, Jack Ragan, Carson Rowe, and the juniors, Doris Hogan and John Crandall, assisted in the work. Every item had to be reread to ascertain its accuracy, and often rewritten. In the organization section the sponsor's approval of the report was secured. A different feature consisting of original poetry was used this year. Students were not asked to write for the Gleam. The English teachers submitted work that was done as a regular assignment, and the best was published. The class prophecy assumed a different form, being written in blank verse. After the copy was corrected and in the desired form, it was sent to the typists. Dorothy Moran, Ruth Taylor, Claudene Hook, and Mildred Curtis, under Miss Fal- lon's direction prepared a copy for the printer and a carbon duplicate for the literary staff The position of the advertising staff cannot be overestimated To produce an annual such as the Gleam at the price asked of the students would be impos sible It was therefore, imperative that enough advertisements be secured to help finance the book To obtain the ads the staff members had to be courteous and possess an attrac tive personality in order to command the attention of the merchant Such persons were Clifford Spitser and John Paxton who sold a great deal of space and John Rohrs and Dedrick Childers , . .

Envoy Interest in the high school paper has annually increased since the publication of the first paper, then called the School Advocate, in 1898. This increasing interest has been demonstrated in the numerous improvements made from time to time, the most recent one being a change of style and name in 1931. . This desire to build up a better paper seems to have culminated this year in theapplication of almost one hundred students for membership on the Envoy staff. As it was impossible to accommodate so many would-be editors the number was limited to fifty. ' - These fifty people with the sponsors Miss Potter Miss Singleton and Miss Lucas have diligently devoted their time to the publishing of a better paper and have certainly succeeded. Mr. Nebgen Worked hard all first semester and Mr Phillips the second attempting to get enough ads to keep the paper going Various experiments were attempted this year For instance the substitu tion of columnists for more commonplace humor These changes are yet in the11 infancy but are expected to be developed 1nto quite a selling feature The first semester Mary Margaret Street wfas chosen to edit the Envoy hei goal being to reduce the duration of' time previously allotted to prepaiatlon of the paper for press and punctuality in distribution of the printed papers She attained both of these aims When Fletcher Copeland was elected ed1to1 for the second semester he decided to perfect the style of the paper as Well as to maintain the promptness of its publi cation He accomplished this end l1keW1se In recognition of our superior paper lt received an award in a contest at Mis souri University and various schools wrote to request a copy for exposition 74 . 7 1 1 1 1 1 . 1 1, . , - . .- , . .

This beloved story by Mark Twain was given as the Senior Play under the direction of Miss Janie Chiles and Mr. Dale Pigg. In the opening scene, Tom Sawyer fRoger aSermonJ cleverly induced his friends to whitewash the fence. After this humorous beginning the theme of the play changed and built up to the startling climax when Dr. Robinson CGeorge Tousleyb was murdered. gi- W ' Robinson and Muff Potter fDedrick Childersb quarrelled, and Robinson struck him, dazing him. Injun Joe fOtis Brownb followed Robinson into his office and stabbed him. He aroused Muff and made him believe he had committed the murder. In the second act the peacefulness of the school was shatteredby the announce- ment of Dr. Robinson's death. Everyone thought Potter Wlas the murderer but Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn fArthur Caugerj. They witnessed the crime but had sworn never to tell. Mary Rogers CMary Margaret Streetb promised to stand by Walter Potter CCharles Andersonb, Muff's son. In the third act Aunt Polly CMaxine Buddj , Mrs. Harper CEthel Wilkinsonj , the Widow Douglas fRuby Crockettj , and the other neighbor women were grief-stricken over the disappearance of Tom, Huck, and Joe Harper CClifton Bittleb. While they were arranging their funeral, Tom slipped in and listened. The first scene of act four was on J ackson's Island where Tom, Huck, and Joe who had become pirates, found Muff Potter. While the boys were asleep, Injun Joe came and told Muff he would help him escape. ' Scene two showed the three pirates attending their own funeral. There was a joyful reunion when the mourners left the church. Then a mob rushed in, drag- ging Muff Potter whom they intended to lynch in front of Dr. R0binson's oflice. Among the mob was Injun Joe. Tom and Huck, in spite of the vow they made, disclosed the true murderer, giving Muff another chance. 16 DIRECTOR Miss Inssua SMITH ASSISTANTS Miss DOROTHY ORR Mus. IESSIE MOORE MR. VS. H.

A Operetta One of the most important events in our school year is the operetta, presented by the Music Department. This year it approached perfection in the comedy, Oh Doctor! , The scene of action Was at the sanitarium of Dr. Drinkwater CDan Scotty. It was the provision of his wife's will that his granddaughter, whom he had never seen because of enmity toward her actress mother, spend her twenty-first birthday with her grandfather. She hoped thus to clear all misunderstanding between the granddaughter, Glory fLoretta Suttonb, and Dr. Drinkwater. But Glory, like her mother, was an actress and was under contract to make a talkie in South America. She sent Honor fMyrelle McClainb and her sick mother fAnna Frances Etzenhouserj to take her place. Glory learned that her fiance, Bob fArlie Zionb , had gone to the sanitarium for his vacation. She hastened there to explain to Honor and gave her a letter for Bob. Honor lost the letter. The illiterate colored boy CRichard Williamsj found the letter and trouble began. Honor and Philip fElmer Pearson? were immediately attracted to each other. Then Philip's men fClifton Bittle, Thad Bellinger, and Bob Riddleb stopped at the sanitarium while seeking the rustler fDavid Allenj. The plot became more complicated when the rustler kidnapped the maid fEthel May Shulll and the colored boy, but affairs were finally straightened out and ended happily for all. Others in the cast were: Emma Jeanne Etzenhouser, Elsie Warnecke, Evelyn Powell, Otis Brown, Keith Johnston, and Harold Brower. A chorus of eighty boys and girls supported the cast and the high school orchestra supplied the instrumental music. Much credit is due Miss Smith for her patience in working with so large a cast. 77 SPONSORS Miss I NIE Cmuss . ASSISTANT Miss EMIN I-IXLL A Mn.

Christmas Play The Christmas program this year was given by the seniors on Friday, Decem- ber 20. The play was entitled, Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem, and w'9-S given in two performances: first at the closing assembly Friday afternoon, and again in the evening for parents and friends. The scene of the play- was laid in Bethlehem at the time of the birth of Christ. Faustina fMaxine Willisb, daughter of the noble Roman Callust, was in Bethlehem with her father on government business. She was in love with the Greek poet, Car- iston CTeddy Beckj, but the traditional enmity between Greece and Rome formed a barrier to their love. She in turn was loved by Pompilius CDedrick Childersj who was a Roman officer and a nephew of Caesar. Torn between her desire for the luxuries and comforts of Rome, which marriage to Pompilius could give her, and a deeper emotion, a real true love which she held for Cariston, Faustina finally real- ized that Cariston held the key to her heart. Pompilius, to get revenge on Cariston, used his influence at Rome to have the poet banished to Greece. However, in her excursions through the hills around Bethlehem, Faustina was struck by the curse of Syria, leprosy. Pompilius, in his terror of the disease, immedi- ately broke all connections with her. Faustina refused to return to Rome with her father and condemned herself to a life of exile in Palestine. Cariston, in Greece, heard that something had happened and spent many weary months seeking her, but, convinced at last that she had died, gave up the search. Thirty years later he heard a rumor that she was alive in Syria, a leper, and his 78 - .,. - Y H W. ....-- -.,,g,-3:3135.-3f-egwasuza-.a:,41-gr13-y.:...,.f.. ,sm-.w..,..Ja::,.,g '- -'.- A 1 -- - - - .. . .. .

Christmas Play love for her was still so great that he immediately took passage aboard ship and , arrived again in Bethlehem with his friend Glaucus fCharles Andersonj, to search for his lost love. The theme of the coming of Christ and his effect on the world was carried all through the play. Part One which showed the rivalry of Cariston and Pompilius also portrayed the birth of Jesus. The contrast between the haughty grandeur of Rome and the simplicity of Israel was brought out in the dialogue between Cordelia KEthel Wilkinsonj, Faustina's maid, and the innkeeper's wife CEthel May Shulll, and in the meeting of the shepherds CClifton Bittle, Edward McDaniels, Tom Hinde, Marion Belly with the Roman soldiers QWilliam Allen, Robert Phillips, Hobert Twie- haus, Carson Rovmeb.

Junior Play This year the juniors chose to present Seventeen, by Booth Tarkington. It was the typical account of young William Sylvanus Baxter, who had a serious attack of puppy love over an out-of-town girl who babbled baby talk and fussed over a ridiculous little dog. Christie Knox displayed exceptionally good acting ability as William Sylvanus, and the girl, Leola Pratt, was cleverly imitated by Frances Newcomer. ' The other members of Willie's household, Mr. and Mrs. Baxter, their young daughter Jane, and Genesis, the negro servant, were aptly portrayed by, respectively, William Smith, Barbara Hacker, Edythe Jones, and Arthur Brown. Edythe, as the bread-butter-applesauce-and-sugar eating Jane, gave a very good performance. Miss Pratt was visiting at the home of May Parcher, played by Helen Mont- gomery. All the boys were attracted, and poor Willie had a great deal of competi- tion. Victor Kipp, as Johnnie Watson, John Paxton, as Joe Bullit, and Ralph Yankee, as George Crooper, were all suitors of the baby talk lady. George Crooper, much to the disgust of the other boys, continually talked about himself. His favorite phrase was, I dunno why it is. ' For Lola's departure a farewell dance was provided at the Parcher home. As poor Willie arrived late at the party, he failed to dance with anyone but the over- large Edith Boke, portrayed by Virginia Moorman. John Rohrs and Vera Knoep- ker carried minor roles as guests at the dance, being respectively, Wallie Banks and Mary Brooks. At the end, Lola left in the midst of male escorts, Willie was sadly disap- pointed, and poor Mr. Parcher, otherwise Billy Wilson, heaved a sigh of relief at her departure. The cast was well chosen and presented fine entertainment. 80 J- s.. - , gig fe -..-J.- ::.g::.33-511555.ws-e:.:,:.s1r,-arg-7:31-L-.:.:.:.n.'.mr:.1'x..,..u:.:::f::.'.: ,. r 1- A SPONSORS Miss ET:-nal.

Sophomore Play A very amusing comedy-mystery play, entitled Anne What's-Her-Name, was presented by the Sophomore Class this year. Anthony Wheat, a rich young man- about-town, who became involved in many seemingly insurmountable dif-Iiculties, Was Well played by Curtis Alloway. An-zizi, a well knovvtn dancer, disappeared, leaving a suicide note addressed to Tony, Who in reality Was engaged to Nancy Brown fBetty Lindseyb. Fleeing from the police, Tony took refuge in the house of Judge Bunby, played by R. S. Budd. Other inmates. of the house were Marjorie QEleanor Fauncel, Aunt Julia CLucile Esgarb, and Barbara CRuth Giffenj, who was very much excited about going to a ball with Willie Peabody, the boy next door. This part was capably handled by Fred Anderson. Also there was Mooney, the maid with temperamental nerves fBetty Morganb, and Doran fNorman Pruittb, who searched the house for Tony Wheat, greatly' upsetting all the inhabitants.

National Athletic Scholarship Society The National Athletic Scholarship Society, Chapter 1234, was established at William Chrisman by Coach Harry L. Lee, May 25, 1929. This society Was organized in order to recognize more fully the unseliishness of the boys, Who, in a sportsmanlike manner, represent their school in athletics and who, at the same time, do their school Work so Well as to Warrant recognitionj Eligibility to membership in this society is limited to those boys earning an athletic letter in one of the four major sports or in two minor sports, Whose aver- age in their school Work for three consecutive semesters is equal to or higher than the general average of the school, and who have exemplified the highest type of citizenship and sportsmanship. There is no more Worthy organization in the school, for it provides a goal for boys to strive for and to gain scholastically. . It has been found that the scholastic ability of the athletes has become higher, for this year the organization has one of the largest memberships that it has ever had for one year. Everyathlete Who has attained this exceptional honor feels justly proud and strives to maintain the high standard. The society is proud of its members who have made good away from home and feels that the ones graduating this year Will carry on in the same Way as have its former members. While many are graduating, the boys Wlho remain in school will strive to maintain the same high standard that has been the goal of every member. The members Wish to express their thanks to Coach Huhn, who has Worked consistently for the good of the society and to make better athletes out of the boys, both physically and mentally. 86 OFFICERS First Semester Pre':ia'fr1l- .........

C Club The C Club was organized in 1926 under the supervision of Coach Little. The C Club is an organization for the athletically inclined boys' and stands for a good deal more than most students realize. It is only able to remain an active organization because of the sacrificing, hardworking groups of boys who represent Chrisman in athletic endeavor. To become a member of the club a boy must earn a letter in football, basketball, or track, or two letters in tennis. This is not all, because a boy may not become a member if he is deficient in his studies. Sports are not all fun, as many people think, but require much hard work. Chrisman is fortunate in having a group of boys interested enough in their school to give a greatldeal of' their time to becom- ing proficient enough in sports to represent their school as these boys have done. Although this is an athletic club, one social event is looked forward to and is enjoyed by every member, and this is the annual C Club banquet. The C Club gave an assembly which everyone enjoyed. Members who were not on the basketball team acted as hosts to visiting teams in the Regional Tournament held at Memorial Hall. The C Club wishes to thank Miss Chiles and all the boys who helped at the various games throughout the year. The club is deeply indebted to her for her splendid management of the athletic finanC6S- The members of the C Club wish to extend their thanks to Coach Huhn for his loyal support of the club. 87 .---f-v-rw-an ,.. pa 'x '.,....,-.-1-W-s...-.-f.-Myra 9 :-.-:-- 1. if-:Z -.-new .--fe ..-1-mfvfemzre-1-lavage .2-m.,.,..

Christensen made the last score on an off-tackle play.

Next, Chrisman was defeated by St. Joseph 24-0. Christensen accounted for the major part of the Bears' yardage.

This year saw the inauguration of a new course in the system of William Chrisman. As the school year draws to a close, the Reserve Officers' Training Corps finishes a highly commendable term. This is a non-compulsory subject, yet it drew one hun- dred and eighty-two boys into its ranks. Classes are held in it the same as other subjects. Grades, based on practical and theoretical vviork, are given. The instructor is Major Harry E. Pendleton. His assistant in the work is Sergeant Haskell C. Dean. The training greatly helps to equip the students for the struggle of life' and the duties of citizens. It develops them physicallyg it promotes the virtues of dis- cipline, resourcefulness, team work, and patriotism. In brief, this training helps to create high-minded youths who will succeed in life and make good citizens.

The peddler seldom calls but by means of bells, gongs, brass cymbals, wood, etc., he makes known to those in their walled courtyards that he passes by, and by the particular sound he makes they know what he sells. And how weird it is to be walking the streets at night with their high walls on either, side, to have the countless hungry, friendless, half wild dogs of the street band together and bay at one like a pack of wolves. The dragon of our city of Kiukiang would gladly bring trouble and destruc- tion to us all were he not held down securely by two beautiful pagodas, one on his tail and one on his head. The one upon his head is near by, and throughout the night we hear the priests striking their cymbals to call Buddha's attention to their petitions. What is the spell China casts over one? The people are every bit as bad as we are-well, perh.aps not so bad either, when one considers our advantages in cultural and religious heritage. We ride in rickshas or are carried in chairs rather than autos. We have no movies, radio, etc. To oifset the beauty of the nine lakes, for which our city is named, and the grandeur of the Kuling moun- CHINESE PAGODA tains, just five miles from here, the dampness and heat of the summers would almost make us agree with the men on the gun boats who say that being in Kiukiang in the Summer is the nearest One can get 150 hell on earth.

Dear Miss Burgess: I am on leave of absence from Washington University, St. Louis, this year, carrying on some special work in the 'University of London under a research fellowship of the General Education Board. Mrs. Rider CMadeline Bostian, Class of 19095 is studying again in the Matthay Piano School. Of more interest to you than our work, however, will be something about the life that our children, Paul, Jr., Billy, and Peggy Lou, are having in English public schools. The English public school is what we should term a private school. At public expense, school is in general provided only up to the age of fourteen. The free schools are called council schools, and while the quality of instruction is of a high order, only children of the poorest parents attend them. The schools at which 'tuition is charged are preparatory schools and public schools, the former taking children up to fourteen years and the latter those from fourteen ,to eighteen. Most of these are boarding schools, and English children are sent away to school while quite young, frequently when only eight years old or less. ' g The school year is divided into three terms, the first from late September to early December, the second from late January to early April, and the third from early May until late July. Naturally English history is stressed more than it is in the United States. Our children found that they were further advanced in mathematics but behind the English children in Latin and French. A One of the most interesting features of the life is the games and sports. In the autumn term the boys, schools play Rugby Cusually called Ruggerj, which is somewhat like American football, W 110 Three of Chrismans most popular seniors Anna Belle Soule Maxine Budd and Tom Hinde found a prob- lem.

One favorite form of punishment is called lines -the culprit has to write a hundred lines or so for the infraction of a minor rule. It may surprise you to learn that corporal punishment is sometimes in- flicted in some of the boys' schools. All of them wear distinctive caps or hats, and often some kind of uniform. Our boys have to wear black coats and striped trousers on Sunday and stiff white collars every day. At some schools the boys have to wear straw hats even in winter time. Mrs. Rider heartily joins me in good good wishes for a successful Gleam. Sincerely yours, PAUL R. RIDER 05. Vienna, Austria, March 24 1936. I greet the Staff of the Gleam from one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and politically, one of the most important. Ever since the Austrians drove the Turks back from her, gates more than two centuries ago, Vienna has been the eastern outpost of Europe. Her key position is none the less significant now, as Hitler and Mussolini, the French and the English, and all of Europe recognize. The fate of Austria is a riddle laid before many statesman. But while the diplomats play with Austria's future, the people, especially the Viennese, go on with their own unique attitude toward life: they have lived through invasions, wars, revolutions, panicsg they know such events are the course of history. they accept this as reality and continue to wring great pleasure and satisfaction out of daily living. They are temperamentally a happy, kind, genial, hospitable people, they have had contact with many civilizations and have developed a rich culture, they set a high value on art, music, learning. Some of the greatest art treasures of the world are to be found in Vien.na's muse- ums, the music is the finest in the world, the University has spread its influence over all Europe through generations. The Hapsburgs were ardent collectors, builders, founders of institutions, 'patrons of the arts. I first came to Vienna five years ago when the city was still under the dominance of the Socialist party, and I saw the fine social program of this regime at work, the famous community housing proj- ect, the care of children, recreation for workers, etc. Two years later, I experienced the Socialist 112 f X N '22-my-gf, . a . was ,..........nn-A.. .............. .:-1 -A----...-.

For me that was a 'bitter pill, Hill, Student Verse To Browning This poets life was like a vestal fire Whose flaming heart was pure a heaven-born thing. It burned more bright when earthly woe would bring Fresh fuel to its altar. And the mire Of worldly things ne er touched it. Blazing higher It sent its sparks toward heaven where they cling- A challenge to us all and still they bring A peaceful message and the soul inspire. Twas thus the fire burned all through his i e, Protected by the cloister of his soul, Rekindled by both happiness and strife, Until he had completed his life's role. But his work did not die with fleeting breath: It only burned the brighter after death. -Ethel McLees, '36.

An Alumni Ball was sponsored by the graduating class of 1935. The ball was held at the Memorial Hall on the night of April 11. A floor show featuring local talent was presented. There was a large crowd in atttendance, and Chrismanites of several years ago enjoyed meeting their old classmates once more. Harlan Soule president of the alumni organization worked very hard on plans for the ball and his efforts were amply rewarded. The proceeds of the ball are to be used to purchase much needed furnishings for our stage. All those who bought a Gleam were given the privilege of casting one vote .for a queen Only girls of the graduating class of 1936 were eligible After a close and exclting race Anna Belle Soule one of the most popular girls ln the senior class was elected as queen of the ball Eleanor Fairbanks and Myrelle McClain two other well liked senior girls were her attendants At the close of the floor show Mr Elvert Himes a graduate of the class of 27 and master of ceremonies for the evening introduced the queen and her attendants and presented each with a corsage Miss Soule responded with a short speech of appreciation The ball was such a huge success this year and everyone who attended spent such an enjoyable evening that it seems that it would be well to make an Alumni Ball a yearly function The classes of 35 and 36 are to be congratulated upon the success of their venture 'Wann' 4- 7 7 ! 7 , . . , ' , . , . . , . .

M Y. . 1 rbi SENIORS A Gleam of Life Tell me not, in mournful numbers, This is but an empty Gleam! As you read it, be not grumblers, For things are not what they seem. For enjoyment, not for sorrow Is our destined end or way, So read now, that each tomorrow Finds you happier than today. School is long, and oft displeasing, And for freedom how we yearn, But although the spring is teasing, We must study-we must learn. Deeds of pupils all remind us We can make our acts supreme And departing, leave behind us Memory in the Chrisman Gleam. Memory, that perhaps- another, Skimming through its pages, then Will say, Could that have been my brother? And seeing you, will grin again. -Doris Hogan, '37.
