That the realities of today will become the memories of yesterday is inevitable. Therefore to catch and retain in the form of a book the essence of one year at William Chrisman has been the aim of those who Worked on this annual. We have tried to find the student in all his phases of life at school-classes, extra-curricular participation, and recrea- tional and social activities-and place a record oi these in this book. So to you who find yourself or your counterpart depicted here-to you, the typical student, We dedicate this Gleam. ipEAc?:Qg3ll?19o4-1913 GN -I llllllIllllllIllIlIllllllliHlllllllllllll Q 3 ClMCi159033 4-, ,J-t,f,1-:.........,.u-, . - . .. . ,.. .. - . -- ' ..

The Board of Education of Independence occupies this position in the school system. ln the capable hands of this group of men and women lies the power of good or evil for the schools. The wisdom of their choosing is reflected in the fact that William Chrisman is one of the first class schools of the North Central Association. The Board has the responsibility of expending the district funds so as to benefit the schools to the greatest extent. Through their knowledge and foresight, William Chrisman is able to offer more than forty credits to the students. The schedule of William Chrisman is acknowledged to be well-rounded in every pos- sible way. Study, recreation, and social life play a part in every student's life. This is due to the interest and vision of the Board, for they control every phase of activity in which the students participate. They act upon the question of school activities, social life, employing teachers, and questions of school discipline. Whether the individual is aware of it or not, the school board is an active factor in his life at every period of his education. The Board is composed of six members: Iohn W. Luft, president: Frank P. Brown, Mrs. Adron Randall, Mrs. Howard Hinde, and Dr. Gard. Mr. Iohn Hinde acts as secretary of the board. Mr. William Kreeger, custodian of the buildings, ably assisted by Mr. William Thomp- son, Mr. Tom Ritter, Mr. Iohn Greer, Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Robert Foster, and Mr. Watson, takes efficient care of over a quarter of o: million dollars worth of property and buildings. g 4 V ., ,T ..u.f.

You have dedicated your annual to the average high school student, but this great student body is not the only organization thinking ot you and dedicating themselves to you-your homes, your churches, your schools, many civic organizations, and your country- all are dedicated to youth and place their confidence in youth. The World is for youth. Indeed there are many difficulties facing youthg to tind employment is one. Four million young people are without work, but this vast num- ber surveys show is made up ot young peo- ple who did not prepare themselves tor any occupation and would not establish in their lives desirable attitudes. The World is Will- inq to pay liberally young people who have made dependability, honesty, courage, cheertulness, and industry the warp and Wool of their character. They are in demand. No door at which youth ever knocked Against his manly form was locked. lt ever man on earth was tree And independent, it was he. No broken pledge lost his respecty He met all men with head erect.

It is the public,recognition of all that is best in, high school stu- dents. The teachers select by vote those persons who, in their opinion, have the traits which are requisite for membership. This selection is based upon tour things. The scholar must rank in the upper one-third of the class scho- lastically. He must have shown a capacity for leadership, and a willingness and ability for service. Finally, and perhaps the most important of all, he must be above reproach in character. ,- The Independence chapter, which is number 226, oi the National Honor Society was organized in l924. It has been a continuous organization since that time. Miss Mabel Potter has served as sponsor since the time oi its inception at William Chrisman. She hasrgperformed this service faithfully and well. . lt is customary to select a small group of the most outstanding students at the end of the junior year, to carry on until the other members are elected during the senior year. Those chosen while yet juniors were Marjorie Burgess, Lois Williams, Eleanor Landtried, Ottis Ground, Bill Stewart, Arthur Hacker, Dean McEnroe, james Townsend, and Bill Monsees. This group ot students was honored at a luncheon given by the Kiwanis. ' - The last week oi,March, the seniors were told oi their election into the society so that they could attend a dance given in their honor. 1 v . TOP ROVV: Bonner, M.

The success of Miss Ellen Sinqleton's efforts as an instructor in Latin is amply attested by the honors won by her students in contest Work.

LOWER PICTURE: LATIN CLASS, 7TH HOUR 2l F F- 4 -,.,L--- I1 'rszzxszzszzrrizaszxsnusxzrsfmv Miss Ellen Singleton holds the posi- tion of the only Latin teacher in Chris- man. Besides her Latin classes she teaches one class of freshman English. For several years Miss Sinqleton with the aid of Miss Lucas has read and Miss Ellen Singleton Miss Geraldine Wilson corrected all the copy for'the Envoy before it went to the printer. Even though Latin is a dead language and no longer spoken, more students take it than any other foreign language. Perhaps this is true because the knowledge of Latin gives the student a better understanding of the English language. Another reason possibly is that they can obtain a more complete knowledge of Latin because it is offered for four years. Miss Geraldine Wilson teaches both Spanish and French. Besides her classes at Chris- man Miss Wilson has two Spanish classes at Iunior High. Although this is only her second year at Chrisman, she has taken an active part in extra-curricular activities. She sponsors both the Spanish Club and the As-You-Like-lt Dramatic Club. Spanish ranks second to Latin as the most popular foreign language. During the year the Spanish classes Visited the Guadalupe Center. To make the lessons more interesting pupils subscribed to a Spanish newspaper called El Echo for the first semester. The French class subscribed to Le Petit Iournal, a French Newspaper. - sPANlsH-LATIN Los Pensadores Castellanos or the -Spanish Club was founded in l926 for the purpose of creating a keener interest in the Spanish people and their customs. -A Those pupils who have studied Spanish and who make grades of M or above are eligible for membership. Y This year the Spanish Club, which meets monthly, has about forty members. Special entertainment pertaining to Spain or Mexico is had at each meeting. At one, Frances Gonzales, a Mexican girl living in Kansas City, gave an interesting talk on Mexico and its people. She sang Spanish songs and wore a Mexican costume. ' The officers were elected for the Whole year. They are as follows: Marilyn Miller, presi- dent: Cecile Mack, vice-presidentp Lois Feldhahn, secretary, Darleene Homes, treasurer: and Alberta Kunz, reporter.

The objective of this organization was to provide an opportunity for a larger per cent of students to engage actively in forensics, rather than to concentrate on any one team. The members have engaged in over one hundred debates with forty-five different schools of Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. Students have participated in tournaments at Atchi- son, Topeka, Valley Falls, Marshall, Liberty, Warrensburg, Bolivar, Springfield, and Kansas City, Kansas. ' During the season members of the squad have met and defeated such out- standing teams as Topeka, Newton, Carrollton, Columbia, Sedalia, Wentworth Military Academy, Webster Groves, loplin, and Springfield. A The following debaters hold membership in the National Forensic League: Elbert Dempsey, Billy Monsees, Billy Stewart-Degree of Distinction, Earl Bonner, Rosemary Spears, Lawrence Clark, lack DeLange, Dick Irwin-Degree of Honor: and Yvonne Tuckfield, Shirley McFarland, Buford Brauninger, Robert Fleming, Robert Kirby, Bill Iones-Degree of Merit.

Since funds for materials and traveling ex- penses must be provided by the club, its members sponsored the Chrisman Variety Show, which was given before a large and appreciative audience on October 19. ln early fall members of the club presented ' a public speaking demonstration at a district Miss Nunsbel Cassell speech meet in Sedalia. On October 29, Billy Monsees, lames Townsend, Elbert Dempsey, Earl Bonner, and Robert Fleming, representing the schools of Missouri, gave a thirty- minute radio program at lefferson City. The Speech Club has sent represen- tatives to contests at Topeka, Valley Falls, Warrensburg, and Columbia. Ten members attended the National Forensic League state tournament at William Iewell College. In competition with thirty schools, throughout Missouri, Chris- man ranked fourth in the meet. Aileen Williams, Naomi Stephenson, and El- bert Dempsy reached the finals. The club tsponsored by Miss Louise McDonald and Miss Nanabel Cas- sell? has succeeded in its purpose by the increase in number of students who have engaged in speech activities during the year.

At Christmas time a group of seniors from the Glee Club caroled in the halls before the Christmas assembly. The Operetta The Golden Trail was presented February 8, and the cast and chorus were chosen from the Glee Club. The leading roles were taken by Frances Tomlinson and Donald Zion. The members of the girls' quartet were Frances Tomlinson, Marybelle Sutton, Virginia Taylor, and Gladys Martin. The girls' trio was composed of Frances Tomlinson, Gladys Martin, and Marybelle Sutton, also from the Glee Club. ln April members from the Glee Club participated in the contest at URCHESTHA One of the most helpful organizations in this school, from year toqyear is the orchestra. lt provides a musical background for most of our school func- tions such as assembly programs, P. T. A. benefits, class plays, and operetta. This year there are more instruments represented in our orchestra, making it even better than in the years past. Some of these instruments are: three saxo- phones, one' baritone, one double bass horn, and one marimba. Columbia and had high ratings. ln order to present music of which the school may be proud an orchestra must practice many hours, sometimes practicing the same number over and over many times. A high school orchestra is not a symphony orchestra and probably will never reach that honor, but why not try to make it as nearly perfect as possible? That is what our orchestra this year has tried to do. Miss Smith, the orchestra teacher, who has devoted much of her outside time toward the success of the orchestra, deserves our sincere thanks. The officers are as follows: For the first semester, president, Lawrence Clark, vice- president, Virginia Lee Taylor, secretary, Edith Barmore, treasurer, Aileen Williams. For the second semester, president, Charles Neef, vice-president, Martha Lefman, secretary, Ruby Barmore, treasurer, Virginia Harris. 27 -. ....-..,.ff+f- wr- 'f 151: is- .

The club also sponsors the National Art Honor Society. . The Art Club's members are pupils who are taking' art or who are inter- ested in it. The club meets twice a month on Monday. From time to time the club has had artists and students from the Art Institute for speakers. The most notable have been William McKim, a pupil of Thomas Hart Benton, and Miss Francis Webb, associate director of education at the William Bockhill Nelson Art Gallery. ' , The Art Club and the'Camera Club went together for a party in December. The members played games under the supervision of Mr. Page, and Miss Sampson had charge of the refreshments which Were served in the cooking room. The Art Club wishes to express its appreciation to its sponsors, Miss Samp- son and Miss Laughlin, for their helpful assistance in making the club a SUCCESS. ' GLEAMART smrr The,Gleam art staff is perhaps the busiest organization of the school be- cause its task is heavy and continous throughout the school year. A group of interested students met several times during' the summer. The general plan of the year book was discussed. The theme Youth was chosen, and it was decided to dedicate the book to the student body. The color scheme chosen was red and White. After school began, the art staff began Work on the dummy. This required much time and effort, meeting after school, discussing, planning, changing and correcting, until the different chapters and pages Were all laid out. Many art students volunteered for this Work, each one making a layout for a double page. After the first dummy was planned, it was necessary to make two copies for the printery a bound volume made by the Editor-in-Chief, Eleanor Landfriedg a loose-leaf copy, made by Fadona Lee Bell. A change of cover Was decided upon by the art staff, and Mary Harrel and Fadona Lee Bell designed the lettering which appears on this cover. The grand rush of Work started When the pictures for the annual were taken. They were sorted, trimmed, and pasted in alphabetical arrangement on cardboard panels. This Work Was done on Saturdays so that the Workers would not be interrupted by classes. Since much of Miss Sampson's time is claimed by the other schools, Miss Laughlin has given most generously of her time in directing the art staff. 32. 1.35111'T1,55:gfL,4:,-r'-frm, - ,V ., ',,,,,,-.,, M ,b ,N , .. , . . . ,, n,.,t.,'.........t.........:Nu4.. in-2. :..:ssLv-ab.-A., - Fu.-cr.

C. Truman who was in charge of the Social Science Contests this year has devoted much of his time to coaching some of the students of that department in ten minute orations, the best of which were entered in the con- test at Warrensburg on April 12, 1940. The preliminary contests for these orations was held at Chrisman, and the judges were Miss Lucas and Mrs. Schroeder, both of the Social Science De- partment, and Miss Cassell, teacher of public speaking. The following people participated in the preliminary contest: Buford Brauninger, Norma Trout, Elsie Iennings, Robert Fleming, Lawrence Clark, Iohn Francis, Robert Kirby, lack DeLange, Dorothy Dee Gould, and Geraldine Danforth. The contestants had their choice of the following different topics for their orations: A Plan for Last- ing World Peace, The Place of the Farmer in our Republic, Isolation, and Shall We Enact a Federal Divorce Law. ' ' After the preliminary contest Lawrence Clark, Robert Kirby, and Gerald- ine Danforth were chosen by the judges to represent the school in the Warrens- burg Contest. At that contest Lawrence Clark was awarded a silver, medal for winning second place. The topic of his oration was lsolation. Robert Kirby who spoke on the subject, The Place of the Farmer in the Republic, was awarded a bronze medal for third place. The title of Geraldine Danforth's oration was Shall We Enact a Federal Divorce Law. Several Chrisman students also competed in the Veteran of Foreign Wars Essay Contest. The essays were written on The Benefits of Democracy. Those entering essays in this contest were: sophomores: Emma Lee Choplin, Edna Dyer, jean Oliver, H. D. Green, and Eugene Parker: juniors: Katherine Wheaton, Sylvia Dobson, Cecelia Woodman, Harold Winters, and Bobbie Smithp seniors: Elbert Dempsey, Leisbeth Land, Bettie jones, and Dick Irwin.

Mr. Ehmke also gives very valuable assistance and much time to the officials at football games. This is the second year for Mr. Rex Conyers as a teacher at Chrisman in the biology department. Besides teaching biology, Mr. Conyers is the sponsor of the Wildlife Con- servation Club, an organization doing a great deal toward the protection of plant and animal life. Mr. Conyers and Sergeant Dean are the sponsors of the sophomore class. Mr. Phillips's primary position is that of teaching agriculture, but being interested in the affairs of the high school, he is always on hand to supervise ticket taking at the plays and football and 'basketball games. l-le is on the business and advertising staffs of both the En- voy and the Glecrm.

Mr. Earl Page is in charge of the physics department at Chrisman. His work in teaching physics keeps him busy a great deal ot the time, but he has long been interested in drarnatics, both as an actor and as a coach. During the just completed school year, Mr. Page appeared with the White Masque Players in Tavorich. Mr. Page also acts as the sponsor ot the Camera Club which was organized last tall at Chrisman. Throughout the year he has kept a display of machines and instruments used in the study of physics in the booth in the second floor hallway. Mr. Earl Page William Chrisman is proud ot her well-equipped chemistry and physics laboratories. Chemistry and physics are so closely related that it is almost impossible to understand thor- oughly one of these sciences without help from the other. And yet they are essentially different in that chemistry deals with changes produced in various forms of matter when it is combined with other forms or when it is decomposed, while physics treats of matter involved in no change in which new substances with new and different properties are formed. Both chemistry and physics are two hour courses, usually having two laboratory days per week. The students especially enjoy the opportunity to work in the laboratories of these two departments and to prove by experiment that: when hydrochloric acid is added to ferrous sulphide, the very odoriferous gas hydrogen is produced, or when a body is sub- merged in a liquid, the amount ot weight it loses is the same as that of the liquid it dis- places. The students are assisted in their ettorts to grasp a knowledge of the many phenomena encountered in these two fields by some very capable instructors: Mr. D. C. Elliott, Mr. Frank E. Martin, and Mr. Earl Page. ,Many students have been inspired to delve more deeply into the search for a more thor- ough understanding ot chemistry and physics while working in the sanctum sanctorum of the scientists-the laboratory.

Mr. Elliott has been teaching at this high school for a number of years and is very enthusiastic in his endeavor to make the field of chemistry interesting to the stu- - dents. He may often be found in his own workshop where he spends much of his time. Mr. Elliott has also taken an inter- est in photography. The Science Depart- ment owes much to the work done by this member of the faculty. Although this .year is only Mr. Mar- Mr. D. C. Elliott Mr. Frank Martin tin's second year at William Chrisman, he has already acquired a large number of friends. The students especially ap- preciate his interest in their future plans, and he has done much to promote an interest in college work. I. Aside from daily teaching two classes in physics and one in chemistry, Mr. Martin finds time to direct the B.O.T.C. Band. His work in providing William Chrisman with a first class school band is greatly appreciated by the student body. cnrmsts William Chrisman was well represented at the Warrensburg competitive contests in chemistry and physics this year. There were seven representatives from Chrisman in those two fields. Those competing for the chemistry medal were Clarence Easter and lack Bam- sey. Clarence won second place in this contest. Those taking' the physics examination were Bill Stewart, Dean McEnroe, Bill Shaw, Paul Doelling, and Charles Wildschuetz. Bill Stewart won the first place honors in this contest., Altogether there were about twenty-five entrants in each of these co ntests, from various schools over the state. lt is interesting to note that the physics instructor Mr. W. C. Morris, demonstrated a one million volt booster of electricity to the students who participated in the physics contest. This induction coil produced electricity so powerful that an electric light bulb was lighted when it h ld ' ' ' was e six inches from the spark gap. Tne same effect was produced when a neon bulb and an X-ray tube were held a like distance from the gap Yet Mr Morris touched th e conductor with a pair of steel pliers and was not affected by the high potential H also demonstrated how the current quickly burned a hole through a piece of wood held be tween the terminals ot the spark gap . , . s. , , 4, - ,-,- - .,, ,,. , -,.., ,- .... ..., .... 1 - ,.. . ., , .- .--1.- -- V . ., --f--- --' Ja.

More than . likely they would all confess that this study period is vitally im- portant to them all. Miss Mary Duggan Mrs. Mary Duggan, the supervisor, has a difficult task, check- ing on l,l95 names every day: but she always maintains her cheerful and helpful disposi- tion, aiding perplexed scholars in every possible wayp and thus the student body has grown to admire and respect her. The library is one of the most important and useful depart- ments at William Chrisman. lt offers help in every course avail- able in the school. Books on the senior, junior, and sophomore class outside reading lists are on the shelves of the library at all times. Besides these books, there are the reference volumes used by the students during study hall periods and over night. The library gives the students an excellent opportunity to gain mater- Q ial useful in the process of education. Miss Ellyn Kramper -. This year our school has been greatly aided by having Miss Ellyn Kramper as librarian. She came to William Chrisman from Pratt, Kansas, where she was librarian in the high school in that town. Miss Kramper has very efficiently and willingly assisted the students in their library work. She is one of the most helpful members of the faculty. STUDY HALL 47 I I .

Chiles finds time to be a friend to all the students. H She is one of the sponsors of the senior class and has devoted many hours to coaching the annual senior play. Miss Chiles also capably handles the financial affairs of the many clubs . of William Chrismanj Miss Ianie Chiles Miss Ethel Benfield Miss Ethel Benfield's' interest in her pupils makes her courses quite popular. Her plane geometry, solid geometry, and advanced algebra classes are made entertaining, as Well as educa- tional, by her alert sense of humor. Miss Benfield is also one of the I sponsors of the As-You-Like-lt Dramatic CUNTESTS , Mathematics has an important position in the business and professional World. lt teach- es the student to concentrate and reason for himself. The birth of mathematics was centuries ago in Egypt. lt has been improved and practi- cally perfected until now just one branch is a lifetime job to, master. Very few people acquire a complete knowledge of Math. Mathematics is one of the most important subjects: therefore Chrisman offers an exten- sive course. Algebra is a compulsory subject given in the freshman year. Only one unit -of 'math is required to graduate. Many students have two units and some graduate with the entire four year credit. I . - Mathematics teaches the pupil to reach the base of a problem and thoroughly under- stand it before an attempt is made to solve it. A foundation must be built up step by step and day by day, if one expects to pass the course. r I The -different courses are Algebra Ill and IV, solid geometry, arithmetic and trigonome- try. Miss Chiles and Miss Benefield are our- math teachers. The Warrensburg contest was held April ll and 12 this year. Buford Brauninger, Rich- ard Snyder, Elaine Harris, and Don Meyer represented Chrisman in plane geometry. Frank Minton and RQLC.

GLEAM STAFF TYPISTS This year's Gleam typists are Frank Minton, Billy Monsees, Richard McCandless, Norma Sharp, Virginia Taylor, Katherine Sprague, Marjorie Burgess, and Helen Louise Resch. ' f Y' ' f This group was chosen from many pupils whose ability merited their becoming Gleam typists, and these particular students were willing to give and could afford to give the extra time that this work demanded. The basis on which they were appointed was the merit of their typing Work, their typing work itself, conscientiousness of copy, thoroughness of checking, accuracy of spell- ing, and work outside the typing class. Most of these people have entered various typing contests in the state. Each one of the staff has various extra-curricular activities, but they type in the morning before school takes up, at noon, after school, and even during their study hall hall periods. Miss Ada Fallon helped the staff do their vital part of publishing our Gleam. CUMMEHGIAL CLUB The Commercial Club has been in existence almost a decade. When the Commer- cial Club was organized in October, l93O, it was known as Ye Merry Stenos. The club, composed of commercial students, was organized for the purpose of obtaining a better knowledge of the business World, to arouse a feeling of sociability among the commercial students, and to increase the interest' in the commercial subjects. ' The club presents pins to outstanding first-year pupils who write forty-five words a minute in typing and eighty words a minute in shorthand, each with ninety-five per cent accuracy, and to second-year students, writing sixty words a minute in typing and one hundred and twenty words a minute in shorthand with the same accuracy as that for the first year. The typing tests cover a period of fifteen minutes, and the shorthand tests cover five minutes. The club meetings are bi-weekly. After the business meeting, programs are pre- sented. The students present skits about the business world, and professional men give pointers to the students. L 4 The club presented for its assembly program a clever two-act play Diogenes Looks for a Secretary, directed by Maxine Webb assisted by the sponsors. The play demon- strated the qualities a good private secretary must have. The character in the play were: the Boss, Billy Monseesg limmy, Frank Minton: Miss Devine, Vivian Skinner, Miss Corliss, Ieanne Scotty Stacy Smity, Richard McCandlessg First Applicant, Pat Donald- son, Second Applicant, Marjorie Burgess, Third Applicant, Verda Vaughn: Office Girl, jackie Davis. The club under the efficient guidance of Miss Fallon and Mr. Athey feels much has been accomplished this year. We wish to express our gratitude for their companion- ship which made the work of the club most enjoyable. 53 . ., . ..-.-- . ,...,.F. ,.n- -- f 1' -'-agp..

MECHANICAL DRAWING ODS of the l'1'1OSt i11tGIGS'fiI1QI and educational courses given in William Chrisman is in the industrial art department. It is mechanical drawing, supervised and taught by Mr. Morris. This subject, due to the interest taken in it, is very well-liked and is compar- I atively easy. This training is very useful to those who wish to major in engineering or C1fCIf'rSII1CI1'1S1'1iD- TOO, if CI student l'1GS aspirations of becoming an architect, an inventor, renowned artist, mechanical drawing will be a prere- quisite for these types of work in that it teaches preci- sion, accuracy, and neatness. For several years the students in this department have exhibited their work in the display window on the first floor. These dis- plays, neatly drawn and exactly to scale, were very interesting. In May each year the mechanical draw- ing classes contribute much to the success of the Art Exhibit by sending many of their interesting drawings.

Miss MGrgGIel Chiles Miss Vergie McCray Teaching cooking eight periods a day keeps Miss Vergie McCray pretty busy. Her classes have been so well liked by boys as well as girls that this year it was necessary to limit the boys to seniors only.

Participating in the pre- liminaries this year were Vera Frisbey, Martha lane Tudor, Marguerite Burden, Alice May Y . ocum, and Marybelle Sutton. Alice May Yocum and Marguerite Burden were the success- ful contestants, and Martha lane .Tudor was chosen as alternate.

Since the ancient days of Greece, when laurel wreaths were presented to victorious Hel- lenic athletes, it has been the custom of the people to award to those who have shown profici- ency in athletics some symbol to show their athletic achievement. The Romans took up this custom when they captured the Greeks and in turn passed it on to the European people who, many years later, brought it to America. During the early years of the colonies and on through the entire frontier days, contests were held in foot-racing, wrestling, and marksrnanship, for the American people loved to partici- pate in sports. Later, schools and colleges took up athletics as part of their extra-curricular acti- vities. Teams were formed to compete with other schools. It has become the custom to honor those who have participated in these athletic events with a letter, which is usually derived from the first letter of the name of the school. But excelling in athletics does not assure one a letter, because the awarding of letters is also based on character and the ability to up-hold the scholastic standing of the school. Letters were awarded in William Chrisman High School to those who have played the re- quired time on one of the interscholastic sports: football, basketball, track, or softball, and to those who have excelled in gymnastics. Among the more well-known men who have won their C's at William Chrisman is Drj F. C. Allen, basketball coach at the University of Kansas. Dr. Allen is a noted authority on basketball and has written several books and booklets on the subject- Ray Sermon, brother of our present mayor, won all-American recognition whilenplaying football for Warrensburg, Mis- souri. He too was an outstanding athlete while attending high school in Independence. One of the more recent men to be honored from Independence was Fred Dickinson, who was made co-captain of the University of Missouri's football team in l938. . Our present coach, Charles Huhn, graduated from William Chrisman in 1926, and later attended the University of Missourij While attending the college, he earned- three letters in basketball and two in track, He was selected on the all Big Sixi Conference as center and was named to lead the Missouri Tigers as their captain.

C. the National Athletic Scholarship Society. Coach Harry Lee established chapter l234 in William Chrisman High School May 25, 1929. To be eligible for membership in this organization a boy must have earned an athletic letter in one major or two of the minor sports. His average in his other school work must be equal to or higher than the general average of the school tor three consecutive semesters. He must also have shown the highest type of citizenship and sportsmanship in everyday life as well as in sports. The purpose ot this society is to develop high scholarship, good sportsmanship, and good leadership among the boy athletes. . That the society has succeeded in its work is shown by the fact that its members have graduated with the ideals of good sportsmanship firmly implanted in their minds and that they have worked toward higher goals with unfailing fairness. Mr. Charles Huhn is the able sponsor oi this organization. We are especially proud of those boys who have been members for two years: they are Herbert Dawson, Marc Pickrell, Ottis Grounds, Gale Fulghurn, and Ralph Brown.

BASKETBALL TOP ROW: Baker, Barnard, Crim, Dawson, Eskridge, Hutchings. SECOND ROW: Lackland, Lyday, Pickrell, Reagin, Titus, Smalley. ' Although the Bears had tough going in some spots of the season, they demonstrated that they were a fighting team and one which would not take a defeat easily. Dependable Ernie Lackland played a cool, flawless game throughout the season and was consistently among the high scorers. The Lackland, Dawson, Ettinger, Lyday, Hutchings combination was beautiful to watch in action, but it was in comparatively few games that this group was able to have a hundred per cent showing. Coach Huhn also used Reagin, Eskridge, Pickrell, Smalley, Titus, Barnard, and Crim in the first team games. This year Bill Markey served the basketball teams as student manager. William Chrisman opened its basketball season with the Northeast game on December 16, which the Vikings won 24-20, and on December 22 the Bears failed to overcome the Central defense and lost 22-14. However, Chrisman topped Southeast on December 28 to the tune of 37-29 and seconded this on Ianuary 5 by Winning over Turner 36-25. The North Kansas City Hornets took a 35-27 licking on Ianuary 12. The Bears dropped a game to Rosedale 43-25 on Ianuary 26. The next week Chrisman trounced Rockhurst 43-32. The Hornets stung hard on the 30th, winning 29-16. Ward poled up a 37-24 victory over Chrisman on February 2. On the 9th the cubs won the consolation trophy in the Lee's Summit Tourney, but the next night the Bears met Wyandotte and came out on the short end of a 34-19-score. The l3th was an unlucky, day for Chrisman. On that date Shawnee Mission eked out a close victory with 14-13 score. A powerful Wyandotte team again won, 58-23, on February 17. 68 1 ','!f5c'sf TRACK The track season of 1939-'40 proved to be as successful as the football and the basketball seasons. During the Spring, several meets were held with various schools and on May third the Field Meet Was held at the Athletia Field. On April 9, the Bears suffered a, defeat of 60 to 28 at the hands of Northeast, on our op- ponent's field.

This is the highest honor which the regiment bestows upon a young lady and it is greatly coveted. She did much to make the practice dances a success and reigned at the Annual Military Ball, which was held on March 1. This event was the peak of the school's social season and one which the greater part of the student body looked for with excitement. Officers of the civic clubs, the American Legion, and the school system attended as guests. of honor. The beautiful decorations did much to make this the finest ball in the history of the unit, and refreshments and. games were provided for the cadets and' their guests. When the Grand March was announced, the cadets in A, B, C, and Band companies and their ladies moved to the west entrance, and those in D, E, and F companies to the east entrance. The corps then paraded by two's, then four's, eight's, and sixteen's. The evening was spent pleasantly in dancing, and a clever floor show was presented. The R.O.T.C. Band this year developed a drill which they executed without commands and while playing despite the complicated movements from the old type drill. This organization, under the direction of Mr. Martin, has publicized our regiment throughout the year and served the school by pro- viding music for the home football and basketball games.

Br I Having at least attained the estate of up- per classmen, the junior class began the year with the election of Arthur Hacker as president and Patricia Donaldson as secretary. lack Montague, Barbara Warman, Billy Stewart, and Marjorie Copple held the other offices. O The junior play, Here Comes Patricia sponsored by Miss Ada Fallon, Miss Genevieve Cravens, and Mr. Henry Wininger, was a great success. The lead was well-taken by Lois lean Williams. Other members of the cast were Thomas Duckworth, Iarnes Townsend, Arthur Hacker, Harriett Allen, lack Montague, Rodney Higgins, lack Kirkham, Marybelle Sutton, Vivian Skinner, Marceline Hammontree, and Dorris Meador. I Billy Stewart and Billy Monsees worked diligently in debate. To have the debating team composed of juniors is exceptional, but the two boys did excellent work. I ln athletics George Howerton and Don Ettinger were outstanding in -football. Other juniors to be commended on their work on the gridiron were Chet Lyday, Bob Hutchings, Herb Dawson, Ottis Grounds, and Gale Fulghum. Several juniors played on the basketball team and played very well. Of the twenty games played, the Bears lost only two. H O A group of officers equally as competent as those of the first semester were elected for the latter part of the year. They were: presi- dent, Billy Chiles: vice-president, lack Kirkham: secretary, Eleanor Landfried: treasurers, Rod- ney Higgins and Marybelle Sutton: and re- porter, Mayre Hart. One student body office was held by a junior. james Townsend was elected Editor-in-chief of the Envoy for the sec- ond semester. I The climax of the year arrived with the junior and senior reception. A very full and greatly enjoyed year ended with only the senior year between it and the attainment of the high school student's goal. I At the beginning of the fourth and final lap of their trip toward graduation the 1940 class elected the following officers: president, Arthur Hacker: vice-president, Billy Monseegs: secretary, Marybelle Sutton: treasurers, Maxine Eighinger and F rank Minton. 0 The seniors now composed the greater part of the football team and more than did their part to uphold Chrisman's gridiron history. Many of the senior boys also played on the ,basketball teams. A lt may be said of the entire class of l94O that its members have sup- ported athletic events and all activities in a commendable way. Q The second semester's officers were: presi- dent, Gale Fulghum: vice-president, Chet Ly- day: secretary, Doris Vaughan: treasurers, Marjorie Burgess and Herb Dawson. Each of them has worked diligently and faithfully to bring honor to the class. 0 On March 7 and 8, the senior play was presented. They chose The Vicar of Wake- field. All of the characters were excellently portrayed, and it was well-received by the aud- ience. O Senior class members have gained honors in many fields. Patricia Donaldson was chosen football queen and was also sponsor colonel of the R.O.T.C. unit. Marjorie Burgess was elected as representative for a good citizenship contest sponsored by the Daughters of the Am- erican Bevolution. Elbert Dempsey won tr scholarship to Missouri Valley for the out- standing debater in the tournament there. He also placed in the finals of the National Foren- sic League tournament at William Iewell. Billy Stewart, Billy Monsees, and Elbert Dempsey were awarded the N. F. L. degree of distinction in debate. This is the highest honor attainable to a high school student. I The class of 1940 now leaves Chrisman. We leave with perhaps a feeling of regret but certainly with a pride in our achievement and a hope for the future. O The sophomore year of our l94O class was O ln September, 1936, a very ambitious group of freshmen began the four years which would bring them to a most important goal in each launched with the election of very capable class officers. They were: Thomas Duckworth, life-Graduation. Q As freshmen they began to make a name for themselvesp and one of their first enter- prises was the presentation of their annual play, Phatom Bells, a three-act mystery, given under the direction of Miss Mothershead, Miss Alexander, and Miss Fairchild. Some principal characters were played by lack Montague, Marian Peters, Paul Smith, and Marybelle Sut- ton. 0 This class has shown leadership in all phases of high school life. Many of its mem- bers served on the Echo, the lunior High School paper, with leanne Scott and lack Crumley acting very capably as its Editors-in-chief. Lois' lean Williams represented the school in the State Declamation Contest. ln athletics Don Ettinger was outstanding, playing on Chris- man's first football and basketball teams. O The class of 1940, as freshmen, also led in scholarship. ln the Ohio State Intelligence test which is given each yearthe group had an unusually high average. The highest rating was received by Iean Mosier. and Elbert Demp- sey. Several members of the class had roles in the Panto-Drama play, Laugh, Clown, Laugh, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Mary Foster Williams and Miss Nanabel Cassell. O The class left at Iunior High as a farewell gift three well chosen pictures and the William Penn Club also gave a typewriter especially adapted to typing mimeograph sheets The lowly freshmen were introduced by their presi dent Ottis Grounds to Chrisman life in the traditional assembly near the close of the year as president: lack Montague, vice-president: Jeanne Scott, secretary: Harriett Allen, and Billy Stewart, treasurers, and Arthur Hacker, reporter. Equally good selections were made for the second semester with Billy Stewart, president: Arthur Hacker, vice-presidentp Elea- nor Landfried, secretary: and Iacqueline Davis and Bobby Hutchings, treasurers. O The sophomores presented as their class play two one-act plays, The Corn Husk Doll and The First Dress Suit. The characters in the latter were portrayed by Billy Stewart, Max- ine Webb, Marybelle Sutton, and lack Monta- gue. Those in The Corn Husk Doll were Lois Williams, Don Thiel, William Choplin, Willa Mae Mallet, and Willis Norman. 0 The First Dress Suit was also presented in a one-act play contest and won first place with its all sophomorevcast. Of the individual awards presented, Billy Stewart won first and Lois Williams third. The literary socities again sponsored the all-school literary contest. The sophomore members of the societies took an active part in the contest and won several awards. Q Don Ettinger and George Howerton were prominent on Chrisman's football team during their sophomore year. ln basketball, Ettinger, Chet -Lyday, Earnest Lackland, Bob Hutchings, and Herb Dawson, represented the class and brought a great deal of glory to their school O Many of the sophomores began work on both the Envoy and the Gleam Through all of these activities ran the characteristic willing ness to work and loyalty which has made this class an outstanding one 1 4 1 1 ' ' ' - ' - -l-'M ' -nf ' ' f 4' ' iw: 51-44 .L..,...:A2u.i- P.i3'1,L5.--.a..A..L,.:.:.' - 4:11424-ats.f1Le4s4-J:.ef::. :urn .1135-Zfllffifs L.: '-' ,.- .-g.,-:-If-,..',1: 1-...- I' ---.. --L51 - .- if ' 1 - ... ze, -- H T'-1 '-- -f-f H ..---.....- N .-. ..s..-,... ... . ., , . w-Q-5-f +111-H'3fU-1' ' ummm: 4.'J-L-13:.:.'Eu'.:,.-l1EE.r:.''viiife-ffl:-.Z.: ::'a'E7maw 'ab' 'is?zrkasr.f:ah -:b:.'i?5:, ,giliaifiriiblil-J 1 TOP BOW: Ruth Constance, Daniel Cosner, Phyllis Couchman, Mary lane Covington, Myrtle Crabb, Dorothy Crose, Betty Dalton, Robert Davies, Keith Davis.

This isi a romatic play in three acts based upon the immortal novel written by Oliver Goldsmith. It was adapted to the stage by Walter Kerr and was produced by special arrangement with Samuel French. This play was very capably directed by the class sponsors, Miss Ianie Chiles and Mr. loseph Biter. The school orchestra, under the' direction of Miss lessie Smith, played two numbers of Mozart and Haydn. The entire action takes place in the garden of the Vicarage in the early spring. Bill Monsees gave the prologue. . Charles Primrose, the Vicar of Wakefield, a kindly minister and father, was excellently portrayed by Bourke Frost. His wife, the sharp-tongued Deborah, was effectively protrayed by Harriett Allen. Marjorie Burgess and lacqueline Davis portrayed well the roles of the two eligible daughters, Olivia and Sophia. Ottis Grounds creditably played Squire Thornhill, the master of the wealthy Thornhill estates. Bob Rawlings, as Mr. Burchell, one of the nobil- ity disguised as a wanderer of the countryside, acted his part well. Other members of the cast were: George, the Vicar's oldest son, Arthur Hacker, Moses, his younger son, an exceedingly sharp young man for his age, Iohn Niemeyer, Cousin Bd- Ward, from London, lack Kirkham, Marian Peters and Maxine Crumpler as Lady Blarney and Miss Skeggs, coarse friends of the Squire's from London, added a touch of humor to the play, Farmer Flamborough, the Vicar's nearest neighbor, a passive peace-loving old gentle- man, lames Townsend, Mrs. Flamborough, his wife, Virginia Taylor, their flightly daughters, Nell and Susan, Bettye Anderson and Shirley Kramer, Arabella Wilmot, George's saccarine fiancee, who is run by her crochety old father, was excellently portrayed by Patricia Don- aldson, Mr. Wilmot, her father who is very set in his ways, William Choplin, and the lailer, Billy Shaw. Betty Rholer was the understudy. STANDING: Donaldson, Hacker, Choplin, Kirkharn, Shaw, Grounds, Frost, Peters, Rawlings, Davis. SEATED: Crumpler, Taylor, Townsend, Niemeyer, H. Allen, M.

' f - 4 f i ier r ' H -as ir-if JUNIOR PLAY On November 21, 1939, the junior class presented The Arrival of Kitty proving to their classmates, as Well as to an attentive audience of adults, that they could really do some- thing Worthwhile. The story took place in a large, but seemingly unpopular hotel somewhere in the Cat- skill mountains. The plot centered around Bob Baxter iArt Williamsl a very good-looking young man but unfortunately not Wealthy enough to be counted as an eligible suitor tor his sweetheart, lane. Naomi Stephenson played the part of lane, whose uncle, William Winkler CHarold Winters? and her Aunt lane CAileen Williamsl both had high hopes tor their attractive niece, they even went so tar as to pick a Wealthy, but unattractive old bachelor, Benjamin Moore tlflldred McClainl. Through some letters, Bob found that Winkler had had an ai- iair with an actress, so he proceeded to pose in the role oi this girl, in order to force Winkler's approval of his marrigae to lane-but lo and behold, the real Kitty iDelores Snavelyl Walked in and a hilarious riot followed! Complications came thick and fast: Bob continually was losing his Wig, or his nose, or forgetting to keep his voice in the soprano key: and it seemed for a time that the tangled threads ot the plot would never be unwound. It all turned out Well, but not until the audience had been put through side-splitting comedy and moments of breathlessness. H Others contributing to the success of the play Were Ting, the bellboy, Alex Petrovicg Sam, the porter, lack Fuqua, and Suzette, the French maid, Rachel Peck. The play Was directed by Miss Cravens, Miss Fallon, and Mr. Wininger. STANDING: Petrovic, Williams, Snavely, Fugua, Peck, Miss Crcrvens, Mr..,Wininger, Miss Fallon, McClain.

Creepy Crest, the sophomore's annual play presented in the Chrisrnan auditorium on Ianuary 26, was a brilliant success. ' The three-act mystery comedy relates the story of the sleuthing of Professor Penn tBilly Ionesl in trying to find who murdered an old farmer who had disappeared twenty years before. With the help of his daughter Polly, tMartha lean Lefmanl the Professor plans to write a mystery novel of this affair. Suspicion of the murder points to the father of Carter Wills, CGeorge Naylorl a young scientific farmer who has fallen in love with Polly. As Polly will not be allowed to marry Carter unless the murderer is proved other than his father, their future marriage plans look black indeed. The mystery is cleared up, however, when the old farmer's dying sister confesses to the murder. The part of Mrs. Penn, the Professor's much-enduring wife, was portrayed by Martha Lee Hood. Katharine Green ably played the part of May Wills, Carter's younger sister. Suzie Moore fBeverly McCoy? as Carter's former sweetheart did her part to add to the lovers' troubles. S The comedy element centered around lohn Bugg, a solemn, morose man played by Elmer Kuhn, his sister, Miss Liza Bugg, fMary Alice Goebel? a sharp-tongued spinster, and Mose, CBobby Grinterl the superstitious colored man who performed odd jobs for the neigh- bors. Gene Pope was excellent as the old man with the scythe. To Mr. Conyers and Sergeant Dean, the sponsors, the cast presented tokens of apprecia- tion at the close of the play.

Between halves of the home-coming game with De LaSalle, she Was crowned queen and presented with a beautiful bouquet of chrysanthemums by Mayor Sermon. The football team nominated ten girls who were voted on by the student body, and Patricia was chosen queen. Her attendants, the four candidates who re- ceived the next highest votes were: f seniors: Marilyn McKim and Mary Mayor Sermon Crowning the Queen Mqneggl junigfg, The girls' Pep Club gave a short drill preceeding the ceremony. Also the entire R. O. T. C. Corps paraded and formed a handsome escort for the five girls. The girls were all in formal attire and made a very striking appearance on the football field as the crowd lustily cheered. This was the first time William Chrisman has crowned a football queen. P. T. A. The William Chrisman Parent-Teacher Association has been in existence for twenty-three years. lt was organized in 1917 and was the first high school P. T. A. in the State of Mis- souri. The association has monthly meetings under their president, Mrs. William Meador, and study classes which were ably taught by Mr. Ioseph Biter this year. The organization's five -objectives are: C11 to promote the welfare of child and youth in the home, school, church, and community: x21 to raise the standard of 'home life: C31 to secure adequate laws for the care and protection of the child and youth: C41 to bring into closer relationship the home and the school, that the P. T. A. may cooperate intelligently in the training of the child: C51 to develop between the educators and the general public such unit- ed efforts as will secure the highest advantages in physical, mental, social, and spiritual edu- cation. 1 The P. T. A. has a standard set by the National P. T. A. Our local group reached this standard last year for the first time since 1924. l2U GMES FUNERAL and AMBULANCE SERVICE PHONE INDEPENDENCE 2300 300 SOUTH GRAND INDEPENDENCE, MISSOURI INDEPENDENCE HARDWARE COMPANY ALWAYS DEPENDABLE COMPLIMENTS OF THE STOCKWOOD CO.

The purpose of the 4-H Club is to give its members much worth while experiences in poultry production: however, in order to be eligible for membership pins, each member must complete a poultry project, that is, the actual raising of a flock of chickens. The following officers completed their projects during 1939 and l94O, Leonard Lesh, president, Clarence Easter, vice-president: Billy Doutt, secretary. The other members of the club completing their projects were, Aaron Parker, Albert Boehm, Monroe Chapin, Warren Closson, Billy Hackett, Iohnnie Hickam, Otto Logeman, Robert Noland, Hycle Noland, Thomas Parker, Emerson Steele, Curtis Truitt, and Vernon Weddle. Accurate records were kept by each member of the club on production cost and returns from their projects. A total of 1,456 chickens was raised by the members of the club. Several members won worth while prizes with their poultry which they had on exhibi- tion at the State Poultry Show held in connection with the American Royal. Those who ex- hibited their chickens at the Royal were Vernon Weddle, Monroe Chapin, Hycle Noland, Robert Noland and Clarence Easter. f The poultry judging team which attended the district round up was composed of Emer- son Steele, Leonard Lesh, Clarence Easter, and Monroe Chapin. Mr. Phillips, the agriculture teacher, is the sponsor of the club. The Camera Club was organized at William Chrisman in the fall of 1939 largely through the efforts of Mr. Earl Page. The eighteen members held their meetings every two weeks in the physics laboratory at the high school for the purpose of improving methods of taking pictures and to learn how to print and develop their own pictures. - Among other things the group learned while attending their meetings Were: how to focus a camera properly, how to print and develop pictures tthey actually developed some film in the physics labl and how to operate a camera in the manner which will produce the high- est degree of efficiency from all the working parts. South Door Another field entered into by these photography enthusiasts was that of art itself. Photography provides an economical means of obtaining and studying art as it is found in nature and a certain per cent of artistic self-expression can be performed by the art lover with nothing but a cheap camera. The members of the club Went on a field trip a few weeks after their first meeting, and although they did not go very far from the high school, they secured some unusually good shots of out- door scenes in Independence, some of which will be seen in future Gleams. Officers of the club were elected for the year: president, Dick Miller, secretary, Norma Sharp. Some of the other members especially interested in photo- graphy were: Lawrence Hornaday, Harold Pratt, Al Sasser, and Sylvia Dobson. The club sponsor was Mr. Page. He teaches physics at the high- school.

Christmas In a hurried, scurried world, Where there's little time for rest, Once a year there comes a time When each heart is at its best. Christmas puts away all hatred, For that day, all battles cease: Love is present, anger's absent, Heaven sends her cloak of peace. But how soon the spirit leaves us, And once more we slip into All the blood and fire of battle, Holding hate-both old and new.
