EXECUTIVE fi' Student Council 9 I 7 Lawrence Clark Sue Ogden Fl0Yd WUTT Rachel Peck t Our Officers FIRST SEMESTER-The wisdom of a group of people is well demonstrated by their choice of leaders. Chrisman, consequently, points with pride to its student body officers of this year. The duties of the president are numerous and varied. He must help to plan the assem- bly programs, make announcements, and take charge of the assemblies. To keep an ac- curate record of all programs is the duty of the secretary, and the editor-in-chief of the Envoy works many long, hard hours putting out a paper which will please. The officers of the first semester were chosen only after an extensive campaign was staged to point out the qualities possessed by all of the candidates which would quality them to fulfill these duties. Likable, hard-working Lawrence Clark was chosen as president and the excellent leadership he showed justified the public vote. Little Sue Ogden, everybody's friend, made a charming and efficient secretary. The Envoy, with Marilyn Mcliim as edi- tor, contained much news and lively gossip. SECOND SEMESTER-The new Student Body Council went into effect at the beginning of the second semester. Besides the three offices already existing, two new ones were created which were filled for the first time. The new offices were vice president and parlia- mentarian. ' The school's wit was used to best advantage previous to the election, and many clever publicity stunts won the public's attention for the various candidates. On the Friday of elec- tion the customary assembly was held in the Memorial Building. The campaign managers gave each candidate his final build up. The outcome of the balloting that afternoon showed that capable Floyd Warr had won his battle for president, the vice presidency was filled by the energetic Bruce Coffin, a full measure of ability was chosen for secretary-Rachel Peck. For parliamentarian the popular voice declared Virgil Owens, and to secure an Envoy which would continue its high quality in news and English, I. R. French was chosen as editor. The efficient leadership of these officers during the first half-year of the Council, started our new system of student government out in a way that gives promise of much accomplish- ment and a rosy future. 8 --:,::'f1i 1-f A . - .

Our Congress STUDENT COUNCIL At the beginning ot the second semester of this school year, the students ot William Chrisman High School showed their growing interest in democracy by voting to support the tirst Student Council ot our school. In the early part of l939 plans tor student government were started by a group known as the Student Council Study Club. Iimmy Townsend, class of '40, introduced these new ideas to the faculty with such enthusiasm that the whole school was soon awake to the need of Chrisman for a democratic school government-one which would teach citizenship by ex- perience. Under the able sponsorship ot Miss Anne Stewart, the members ot the Study Club formu- lated their ideas of a student council suitable for Chrisman. After much research and earnest work, the Study Club presented a new constitution. This year the group continued its cam- paign ot educating the students to this new type of SChOO1 QIOVefHI1'1eI1T bY PTGSGF-ting CI Series ot explanatory talks in assemblies. On lanuary 20, l94l, the group disbanded in tavor ot the new Student Council. Miss Anne Stewart and Mr. O. L. Athey were chosen the sponsors, and in the traditional student body election 'Floyd Warr was given the honor of being the first Student Council President in William Chrisman.

I it l I i V ll l JUDICIAL 'ki' Our Supreme Court BOARD OF EDUCATION--The very foundation of a successful democracy is a Wise judicial body. ln our government at Chrisman the Board of Education serves as the Supreme Court. To this group of men and Women are brought all the difficulties which arise in school legis- lation. Each school activity must be consented to by them before it becomes constitutional The vast responsibility carried by this group can only be realized by considering the number of students in each of the twelve schools of Independence. The inf l tellectual growth of each of these students is directly in- fluenced by the organization which the school board W plomgllthough the board does not have to collect the money which is used for the schools, all of it must be properly distributed by them. Each department is con- stantly asking for equipment and it is the boards desire to have as modern equipment as pos- sible. A system which hires over 150 teachers is a large concern and to have only six people as its judicial body places a large responsibility on each one. We are fortunate in having on our board these members: president, Mr. lohn W. Luff, Who is vice-president of the Independence Foundry, secretary, Mr. lohn Hinde, Who. is in the insurance business, Mrs. Adron Randall, a former teacher in lndepenclencey Mr. Fleming Pen- Mr. lohn W.

The tact that we are ranked as a Class A school in the North Central Association proves the excellent supervision of these workers. To have the rank of A our teachers are required to have a BA degree or one equal to it. Our library must have a certain quota of books, and many other exacting specifications are made. It is the intention of our school board to give us the best of instructors, course, and equip- ment. They give their time whole heartedly and without any compensation whatsoever except the joy they receive from serving the youth ot their community. To these untiring workers ot our democracy at Chrisman, we express the deepest gratitude. P.T.A. meeting, December 10 PARENT TEACHERS ASSOCIATION The P. T.

Our way of life is ever changing to meet the new order of the world. This was intended by the makers of that great document, the constitution. The red, white, and blue shall never change but always be our , symbol of free government. In accord- ance with our period in the march of time, let us streamline our ways, thoughts, and . attitudes. To each individual there is a challenge to make the changes necessary to meet the requirements for a good citizen of our country. Those youth of today who are work- ing through high school and college will Superintendent W' EA Mmthews be taking their places in the management of the affairs of our country when peace ' comes. Greater effort must be put forth for the success of the coming peace than was exerted during the past two decades. We have duties and responsibilities as the price or tax for those loved ideals of the American Home and Government. May we be a credit to our stern forefathers in performing our share.

Office of Principal Hanthorn if JUDICIAL A STREAMLINED DEMOCRACY It is a joy to comply with the request of our literary editor--that I write a word concerning the theme of our Gleam. A Streamlined Democracy. What is meant by a Streamlined Democracy? I judge there is some an- alogy between democracy and the streamlined auto. So I inquired of an auto dealer what characterized a stream- liner. He said, speed, bright colors, low center of gravity, good brakes, and abundant power. Does a good democraacy have these same essentials? It certainly does. A democracy must move swiftly: as ours is doing today. Its colors are bright, God's choicest hues, red, white, and blue. Democracy must have stable equilibrium, good brakes, and abundant power. But, where does a democracy get these desirable features? Our constitution answers this question in its first three words, We the people. We must ask ourselves then if we have characteristics we cherish in our democracy. Do we have courage for which the red stripes stand? Are we true blue? Are we standing for purity and honor? Do we have stability that is so desirable in streamlined cars? Have we efficient self control that will en- able us to turn the dangerous corners on life's highway? Will we carry our part of the heavy load? If so, we have a stream- lined democracy. The character of our democracy depends upon us. Let 15,000,000 boys and girls of our high schools have industry, brightness of spirit, self control, and strength. Then our democracy will be a streamliner, of the nigfhest type. All the world will want a democracy. Then soon will be unfurled The glorious banner of us all. The flag that rises ne'er to fall Republic of the world. - Victor I-Iugo. I. N. HATHORN. -N:-f- A x....w.2 Principal I. N. Hanthorn I3 G3- .-.,. . ,. , .. ' ..

It is the recognition by the teachers of those Who, in their estima- tion, have the traits which are requisite for membership in the society. This selection of members is based upon tour points. The student must rank in the upper one-third of his class scholastically. I-Ie must have shown himself to have the qualities of a good leader, and he must have served his school Whenever possible. Last, but not least, he must have a fine character which is in every way above reproach. Miss Mabel Potter organized the Inde- pendence chapter, which is number 226, of the National Honor Society in l924. She has performed the service of sponsor Well and faithfully every since its organization. Each year it has been the custom for the teachers to select a small group of the most outstanding students at the end of their junior year to carry on the functions of the society until the other members are elected during their senior year. Those chosen While yet juniors Were: Buford Brauninger, Bernard Butterworth, Harold Chandler, Dorsy Lou Compton, Iack ,De- Iange, Bob Fenn, Dorothy' Mills, Rachel Peck, Marc Pickrell, lack Ramsey, Norma Trout, Betty Lee Walker, Ella Marie Wielig- man, and Ioanne Wilson. In March the thirty-one new members, making a total of ten per cent of the entire class, were told of their election into the society.

Membership in this society is the goal of every art student. In 1932 Miss Flora Wright, art instructor in the Southwest High School in Kansas City, Mis- souri, founded an'honor society for her pupils. lt proved so inspirational that it was made a na- tional organization, and the mother chapter was given the honor of issuing the charters. William Chrisman received charter number one. The objective of the Art Honor Society is three-fold: to promote deeper appreciation of art, greater knowledge of art, and greater skill in pro- ducing art. The requirements are an S aver- age in art: an M average in all other subjects: loyalty, honor, and a commendable attitude. Each student meeting these requirements and desiring membership submits to a Board of judges an ex- hibit of at least ten pieces of work, these to include three media, or more. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors are eligible. April 9 forty-five art students exhibited, from whom the jury selected twenty-seven as eligible for membership. Honors were awarded to three former members who exhibited again this year: Rachel Peck, Sylvia Dobson, and Mary Maness. The induction ceremony was presented April 17, sponsored by the Parent-Teacher Association, and assisted by the Department of Music of Wil- liam Chrisman. The officers of the society are: Lawrence Clark, president: Eugene Parker, vice-president: Nadine Clum, secretary: Peggy Bryan treasurer. The Mary Sturges Memorial Art Medal was won by Rachel Peck. Second place was awarded to Sylvia Dobson: third place to Betty Ann Lewis, and Mary Maness received Honorable Mention. Lv 'ff' f 411:4- if HUNURED CITIZENS TOP ROW: Clark, Clum, Cobb, Danforth.

National Athletic Scholarship Society CHAPTER 1234 of the National Athletic Scholarship Society was organized in William Chrisman High School May '25, l929, by Coach Harry Lee. Similar chapters have been organized in over fourteen hundred schools representing every state in the United States. The purpose of the National Athletic Scholar- ship Society is to raise the standard oi scholar- ship among the boys participating in athletics and to instill in their minds good ideals of sportsman- ship. This society was chartered so that the boys might realize the unselfishness of winning honors for their school on the football field, the basketball court, or the track and at the same time doing their school work so well that they warrant recog- nition. lt provides a goal for the boys to strive for and challenges them to gain in their scholas- tic standing. To be chosen as a member of the National Athletic Scholarship Society is one of the highest honors that can be bestowed upon any boy during his life in high school. Many of the members of previous years have made a name for themselves and for Chrisman in their work after finishing school. Any boy who has earned an athletic letter in one of the major or minor sports, such as football, basketball, and track, Whose grades in his school work are equal to or higher than the general average of the school, and who have exemplified the highest type of citizenship and sportsmanship is eligible for membership in this society. As the present sponsor oi Chrisman's Chapter of the National Athletic Scholarship So- ciety, Coach Charles Huhn shows an active interest in the boys taking part in the various types of sports and helps them in any way he possibly can. We are indeed extremely proud of the only present member who has been in this so- ciety ior three years. This boy is Marc Pickrell. Much praise is also due those five boys who have been members of the society for two years. They are: Bruce Coffin, Roy Crim, Don Iohnson, Charles Neef, and Bob Sheetz. The boys who were taken is as members for this year are: Iohn Carmichael, Gale Ketchum, lack Eskridge, Richard Maloney, Leonard Trow, Iohn Yuhas, Iohn Stecz, Carmen Iohnson, Raymond Brown, and Mike Berislavich. .n1.- www .aviflziw '- ' .-. + ' - -' W... ff--in--S?

Bob Sheelz D0T0lhY Mills Floyd Warr Dorsy Lou Compton Class Officers THE SENIOR CLASS was fortunate in selecting a group of capable and dependable officers. Early in the first semester Iack Ramsey, the newly elected senior class president, was called upon to perform the duties of Editor-in-chief of The Gleam. His untiring work as Editor has helped to make The Gleam an outstanding year book. Upon his resignation, the vice president, Robert Sheetz, filled the office in a commendable way. Robert was also Lieutenant Colonel of the R.O.T.C., had a part in the senior play and played on .the football team. Dorothy Mills, in her characteristic quiet and reserved way, made an efficient secre- tary. Dorothy was president of the Shakespearean Literary Society, Literary Editor of The Gleam, and was invited to join the National Honor Society in her junior year. Dependable and efficient at all times, Imogene Petentler and Bernard Butterworth did excellent work in fulfilling their duties as treasurers. Imogene was a member of the Nautilus Literary Society, and did her part well in the senior play. Bernard was a member of the National Honor Society. V Floyd Warr was chosen as the president for the second semester. Because of his out- standing leadership and capable manner, he was also chosen for president of the student body. He resigned as class president and accepted the honor of student body president. Frank Adams filled .the office of senior class president. His wit, contagious smile, and un- limited energy have made him popular with all who know him. He was vice president of the Pep Club, and in l94U won first prize in the U. D. C. essay contest. Dorsy Lou Compton was selected to be secretary. Her forceful and sincere efforts have been a constructive force at Chrisman. She was president of the As-You-Like-It Dramatic Society, a member of the Na- tional Honor Society and the Dramatic Club, and a faithful worker on the Envoy and The Gleam staffs. Imogene was re-elected for the office of treasurer. Robert Davies, who was Very outstanding in speech work and in the senior play, was the other treasurer elected. f sw--'- Nan.,- W5- ' f 'S-11,1- '-S -a--.--ev.,-.x'7x,-.n - - . .' .-.. -df 7 -- J- 1 '1-- '17 5 -' . 1 2' .. -J, -mir fu.: ..

They have proved beyond any doubt that, even though they constitute a new group in William Chrisman, they can be as helpful in school activities and clubs as any other class in school. This fact is further established by the Wise choice made by the sophomores in electing their class officers, who fulfilled the duties of their office to achieve the highest possible degree of success. For the first semester of this year Howard Bevins, who is an outstanding member of the debate team, was elected president, an office which he was well qualified to serve ef- ficiently and successfully. The office of vice president was ably filled by Philip Clark, an important member of the Student Council. Madeline Mavel showed expert judgment and precision in carrying out the duties of secretary. Dan Welty capably filled the office of treasurer. The reporter of the sophomore class was Lora Weatherford who, though busy with her work on the 'Envoy and membership in a number of different clubs and societies, did a remarkably fine job. She also had an important part in the sophomore play. The good work that was started in the first semester was carried on by the officers of the second semester, who proved themselves not only worthy of the offices to which they were elected, but wholly capable of doing a work of which to be proud. Philip Clark, who was vice president in the first semester, was elected to the office of president. Bob Stewart, an active member of the Student Council, was chosen vice presi- dent. Elda Ross, also a member of the Student Council, served the office of secretary to the best of her ability. Expert care and diligence was exercised by George Mastio, who is an outstanding member of the Dramatic Club, in serving his office of treasurer. Howard Bevins, who so ably served as president for the first semester, was elected reporter for the second half of the year. f ' V ' ff-45 .

I XMUFWYXNG The red glow of courage makes our work together more pleasant as each person does the task assigned him and cooperates with everyone in a democratic Way. DEPARTMENTS ff y Mr. loseph Biter Mrs. Asenath Schroeder Miss' Mary Lucas Miss Anne Stewart Mr. I. C. Truman q THE SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT has'an important part in the high school curricula. Education in citizenship, history, and sociology is basic in a democracy. For a successful democracy we must learn how to live with one another: sociology teaches this. We must study the past to know better what to do today: history informs us. 'We must know methods of government and law to be able to cooperate: civics and economics show us how to do this. lt is through cooperation and earnest study that we learn to be the good citizens of tomorrow and learn to carry on the ideals and standards of our democracy. The five faculty members who have cont fibuted their time to the social science subjects this year are Mr. Ioseph Biter, Miss Anne-Stewart, Miss Mary Lucas, Mrs. Asenath Schroed- er, and Mr. I. C. Truman. . A y Mr. Biter has supplemented his teaching of sociology and economics again this year with being the director of the senior.play, America First, and the co-sponsor of the senior class.. He has willingly used his talents as a public speaker at P.T.A., club meetings, and other occasions. Mrs. Schroeder brings to the students ot her classes a broad understanding of the im- portance of American history. She introduced student mixers at William Chrisman last year and has been interested especially in improving the social life ot the students. Thorough and conscientious in all she undertakes to do is Miss Lucas. Her earnestness in teaching and helpfulness toward her students is shown in her American history classes. She is one ot the tireless behind-the-scene workers for the Envoy. 50 FJ? 540, L .C-17'1f t ' - .t gtr 3-izqit' P., 'Q -'e ., ,rgxmr 1 -1. it 1 , f g .

As sponsor ot the Student Council Study Club and co-sponsor of our first Student Council, she has proved herself an example of the ideals she teaches in civics, sociology, and American history. The Nautilus Society also has done much under her able direc- tion. World history is taught by Mr. Truman. His capabilities in other lines have been discovered by the students and faculty alike for he was co-sponsor of the sophomore class this school year, faculty director of the one-act play, Cabbages, helped with the Envoy, and was for a time co- sponsor of the Dramatic Club. These tive were assisted in the instructing ot the social science studies by Miss Alexander of the English department and Miss Page of the corn- rnercial department. Every year this department encourages a Social Studies Oration Contest and any essay contests related to the fields of the department. The primary for the oration contest was held on March l9. Six students participated, three of Whom Were sent as representatives to the district contest at Warrensburg on April 4. ln the essay contest conducted by the American Magazine on What Americanism Means to Me, there were seven entries from Chrisrnan.

Shorthand gives the student a firm founda- tion on which to build his future training. The capable instructors in this field are Miss Ada Fallon, Miss lessie Page, Miss T Genevieve Cravens, and Miss Thelma l Myers. Miss Fallon is the only teacher of second year shorthand. Miss Ada Fallon Miss Genevieve Cravens TYPEWRITING All the students who are taking a commercial course realize the value of typing, for in every office typists are needed. A large part of typing is learned in the school. ln high school a student learns the fundamentals of typing and then begins trying to increase his typing speed and control. Many ,of the students go directly from school into a job, while others go on to business college and learn further details about the use of a typewriter. All commercial students know that typing- power cannot be bestowedp it must be achieved. The teacher directs, stimulates, and challenges the student in all his work. With the aid of the teacher and by his own ambition, a typing student can learn to increase his accuracy and decrease his errors. Here at William Chrisman we have very capable typing instructors: Miss Myers and Miss Fallon, who sponsor the Shakespearean Literary Society, Miss Page, who sponsors the Com- mercial Club, and Miss Cravens, sponsor of the junior class. These teachers' work constantly to give the students. every possible opportunity to become good typists. Working not only dur- inq school hours but also before and after school, they do their utmost to encourage their stu- dents and help them in every way to succeed in their work.

'kf DEPARTMENTS COMMERCIAL LAW Although this was the first year commercial law was taught at William Chrisman, a number ot students chose it as one ot their subjects. The pur- pose of commercial law is not to make the student a lawyer, but to give him a wide knowledge of law so that he may make ordinary transactions without having to con- sult a lawyer. The interesting subject is excellently taught by Mr. O. L. Athey, who is associate sponsor of the Student Council and a sponsor ot the Commercial Club. Room 207, Commercial Law BOOKKEEPING In the study of bookkeeping a great deal of ambition is needed. The student must be willing to work whole-heartedly to achieve the knowledge he desires. The bookkeeping course taught here gives each student an excellent beginning in the study of keep- ing accounts, tor not only are the fundamentals ot bookkeeping taught, but they actually are put to use in practice sets. These sets consist ot transactions that would occur in an ordinary oi-lice, and these transactions are recorded by the student in the same way that the record of business transactions is reported by an experienced bookkeeper. The sets have transactions tor two months, books of account, special journals, and all the statements that must be made out at the end of the month. The subject not only teaches accounting, but neatness and accuracy as well. A book- keeper must write plainly and neatly so that anyone can read and interpret his accounts. All bookkeeping depends on accuracy. No matter how true to form the account may be, it the amounts are not figured accurately, the entire work is wrong. The teachers who instruct in bookkeeping are Mr. Athey and Miss Myers and Miss Cravens. They exercise every possible effort to help their students and train them to be good book- keepers.

Morris, the instructor of mechanical drawing, is one of the most self-sacrificing of Chrisman's teachers. ln addition to teaching three double-period classes in mechanical drawing daily, he prints all of the stationery, report cards, tickets for the school functions, etc. used by the Board of Education. ln his off hours he is very liberal with his time as an official at football and basketball games. u Mr. L. E. Morris MECHANICAL DRAWING is the graphic and universal language of all industry. For all those who wish to become architects, designers, inventors, artists of any ability, metal lathe workers, engineers of almost any branch, or just more exact, neat, and accurate in their every- day work, mechanical drawing is their answer. Drawing should be understood by everyone. The basis of this most interesting and educational of industrial arts is accuracy coupled with neatness. Mechanical drawing holds an important place here in William Chrisrnan. And so it does in the nation as a whole. ln this time of increased armaments when plants 'are being built with amazing speed, the importance of industrial drawing cannot be ignored. From the very first, everything must be worked out on paper before models are even made. The site must be chosen and then plans drawn up. Then the blueprints are made for the building. All machinery to be used in the manufacture of the product must be designed and placed to the best advantage in the floor plan tdrawing againl. Each separate part of each machine must be designed and made. Then the production begins and the assembly takes place. This enumeration of the steps in industry should give an idea of the vast importance of mechanical drawing in several of its phases. l Room 106, Mechanical Drawing The art of mechanical drawing must be used by a large number of people engaged in industry. Stati- sticians are agreed that it is used by ninety-four per cent of the people who are in industry. Many individu- als of the professional world can and should use it in their business .or profession. ' This subject, like mathematics and other arts, can- not be enihausted. , . .3 'I 1 - 5,-Q ang. .14 .f .' .iq '21- mf- 111014555-1 ,MM-t. .

A ' 4 it DEPARTMENTS Manual Training Mr. W. H. Wininger has held the position of manual training instructor at William Chrisman tor several years. He was torm- erly at lunior High for some years before joining the faculty here. Although he naturally teaches only boys, he is universally well- known and well liked by the student body. Besides teaching four double-hour classes in manual training, he is very generous with his spare time in helping make special stage arrangements tor the several plays and the operetta each year. Mr. Henry Wininger IN THESE DAYS of increasing production, precision is fundamental. This quality is gained in manual training. The skill required in modern industry is brought out plainly in the pro- ducts of the shop. Manual training and mechanical drawing, might be called the only direct vocational classes here. This condition is to be remedied next year under the new School Acts. The basic principles are almost all that can be taught in a course ot this sort, but they can be developed into lovely cedar chests, lamps, tables, and even metal objects. This course in metal work is something fairly new here. After the classes were divided into basic and adv- anced, the advanced group took up metal work the second semester, after having had a course in joint-making along with the use ot more difficult machines. Exhibits are placed in- the case on the first floor each week, besides in the Art Exhibit in the spring. Shop-Manual Training , - 'TTIEQZELT ' ' 1.112221 I, g.,- , ' ji .

Each group has its own work table equipped with all the necessary culinary toolsg the students alternate so they may use every kitchen. Every other day is spent in class study so that, aside from . knowing how to prepare and serve meals, the pupils may also - gain a general knowledge of the food values. This knowledge enables a student to evaluate menus and to plan well-balanced meals. Miss Vergie McCray This year Miss McCray has made rationing of diet a point of study. Booklets which dealt with food in regard to national defense were received from Washington and proved to be ot 1 the greatest interest. Since there is always so much continually going on about the subject L of food, Miss McCray stresses outside reading to the students, The newly-issued food stamps, surplus commodities, and other subjects clipped from magazines and newspapers furnished 5 subjects tor discussion. Notebooks which contain valuable information are made for a yearly project. V t Some of the pupils helped in the cafeteria which was operated for about two weeks during the worst weather. Besides all the hours spent in organizing the work to be done in laboratory study, Miss 2 l McCray still finds time to devote herself as sponsor of the Home Economics Club and to be a friend to each student. She also acts as supervisor to the pupils who wish to train for the cook- l I ing and home nursing contests which are held at Warrensburg.

Under her guidance with the help of the most modern equipment, sewing becomes an enjoyable and in- teresting task. Each girl has an individual sewing drawer containing all necessary implements. Students are not confined to any special outline of work, but they are allowed to sew the things most in- teresting to them. Miss Chiles sets no definite requirement as to Miss Margaret Chiles the number of articles finished by the pupil: she grades on ability and neatnessy however, about four dresses should be completed during the school year. In their leisure time, the girls are required to educate themselves on the subject of person- alities in regard to home life. Any sewing pupil who wishes is privileged to enter the contest held at Chrisman. The two representatives chosen compete in the contest at Warrensburg. This year, Mrs. Theo. Smith, the home demonstration agent of jackson County, judged the entries and picked Lavonne Brown and Waneta Bates to represent our school. These girls will each complete a print to be entered in the contest. V The spacious sewing room is unusually well-equipped with full-length mirrors, tables, irons, and other conveniences. There are seven sewing machines, four of which are electric and three treadle. Especially noteworthy is the scissors rack which contains all types of scissors, including a pair of pinking shears. Besides the teaching of four double class periods and all of her other duties, Miss Chiles still finds time to assist in the sponsoring of the Home Economics Club.

F Biology Mr. Rex Conyers Mr. Earl Phillips Mr. August Ehmke l IN THE THREE YEARS that Mr. Rex Conyers has been teaching biology at Chrisman, he - has become one of the favorites of the students. As a sponsor of the Wild Life Conservation Club, he works with the members for the protection of plant and fanimal life, especially pro- t viding food for the birds during the coldest Weather. 5 Although Mr. Earl Phillips is Chrisman's agriculture teacher, he is perhaps better known 5 for the numerous other services he renders. He can always be found at games and plays , supervising the ticket-taking. He also spends a great deal of time in his Work on the business t and advertising staffs of the Envoy and The Gleam. A Mr. August Ehmke shares the honors with Mr. Conyers as one of Chrisrnan's biology ' teachers. Biology is the combination of botany, the study of plant life, and zoology, the study ' of animal life. Mr. Ehmke was a chemistry teacher here at Chrisman for several years previ- 5 ous to the time when he started teaching biology. l t I I l m Snapshots of the , Curious Titmouse 58 X ..., If f rfff fi: W A ,ii - - - - ' c -- A y . .V A SQ , J 'ki' DEPARTMENTS Mathematics Miss Frances Kreeqer Miss Janie Chiles Miss Ethel Benfield MATHEMATICS is universally taught in schools both for its cultural and practical values. The student who plans to continue his studies at college must take a definite interest in mathe- matics as the high school foundation is of great importance. The constant aim in mathe- matics is to give problems whose principles can be used in later life. A new addition to the William Chrisman faculty this year is Miss Frances Kreeger, instruc- tor in advanced arithmetic. She is also a sponsor of the As-You-Like-It Dramatic Club. Miss lanie Chiles, sponsor of the senior class, has worked industriously in the various fields of mathematics: namely, advanced algebra, advanced arithmetic, plane geometry, solid geometry, and trigonometry. Miss Ethel Benfield, teacher of mathematics, is noted for her ability to take a joke with unfailing good humor and still be exacting in the requirements of her students.

DEPARTMENTS if Physical Science Mr. Frank Martin Mr. D. C. Elliott CHEMISTRY has been called the modern Aladdin's lamp, but the science as we know it today grew out ot the mystery and superstition of ancient alchemy. The earth, sky and sea are but mixtures and compounds of the same 92 essential elements. The chemistry classes, taught by Mr. Frank Martin and Mr. D. C. Elliott, study each of the most common elements and their compounds separately. This necessarily includes the study of fundamental chemical reac- tions, iormulas, valence and atomic weights. Since all matter is but a chemical composition, it is easy to see how many ot the scientific wonders of today were brought about by chemistry. The students of Mr. F rank Martin always tound him to be a highly interesting and thorough teacher. Besides his classes in chemistry he taught physics and is well known as the direc- tor of the R.O.T.C. Band. A favorite of all his pupils is Mr. D. C. Elliott, and his friendly advice on common courtesy makes his classes doubly important. This year he helped the physics department present Phenomena by conducting an experiment with dry ice.

Though a busy person he is always willing to assist in activities other than his regular work. He sponsored the Radio Club, newly organized this year, and has continued in his dramatic work with the White Masque Players. The course in physics which includes such iields as electricity, photography, radio, motors and machinery, sound, and light, is oi interest to both girls and boys. Mr. Page emphasizes the mechanics and theories of the different divisions studied for the boys and electrical and practi- cal appliances tor the girls. ln later lite physics will be of much importance to the students who take it for every iield is connected in some way with the principles taught in this science. As a project for the year the students chose photography and the making of motion pictures. The ones especially interested from Mr. Page's classes acted as technicians, cameramen, nar- rators, and editors. A two-hour show was the result, featuring all activities at William Chris- man: sport events, social gatherings, Chrisman beauties, clubs, hobbies, R.O.T.C., and every- day scenes of the school. The picture was shown near the close oi the school year and will be used later for Alumni Reception programs. To establish a fund tor 'the costs incurred, the Physics Department presented some- thing new by way ot entertainment for Chrisman, a program suitably named, Phenomena, Amazing demonstrations were rr' given the audience of sound on a beam of light, man-made lightning, black light, ilorescence, oscilloscope experiments by Dr. F. E. Hoeclcer ot the University ot Kansas City together with the variety numbers oi Mary Maness, Billie Carey, the Harmon- ettes, the Chrismanettes, and many others.

Most of the students find Silas Marner very fascinating and enjoyable. i Others prefer As You Like lt, an exciting play by Shakespeare. F ' The history of literature in America is very closely connected with the history of govern- ment. ,In junior English, the students become familiar With poets, essayists, and novelists from 5 the very earliest colonists to present day Writers. ' 7 H English literature, although elective, is a very Worthwhile and fascinating subject. The stu- dentis first attracted by Chaucer, and his interest never Wavers until the book is completed. The English Essay, written by each student on some English author is an outstanding event of the course. , , When Miss Margaret Alexander is not teaching her sophomore history and English classes, she is busy looking up Words to baffle the members of the Spelling Club. This is indeed a hard 5 job because they are all excellent spellers. Miss Alexander is also a sponsor of the sophomore l class. MiSS MGYDS-1 P0ll9I' Miss Louise McDonald Miss Emina C.

Everyone wonders how Miss Emina Hill finds time to ride her many hobbies, which in- clude pitchers, buttons, and scrapbooks, and teach her junior and senior English classes. She is perhaps the busiest teacher in school when The Glecxm copy is being written, trying to guide each writer and collecting material for the book. The play is the thing to Mrs. Mary Foster Williams. She is the sponsor ofthe Dramatic Club and ot the one-act plays. Students in her junior English classes always obtain very valuable knowledge of dramatics as well as the fundamentals ot grammer. She adds vitality and pep to the Nautilus Society ot which which she is a sponsor. 63 -...,-H.-fme...,,,,t4 V- V., 3 wgfgjri5l,1..3:,,F',,.ff 1 :..Zg.5 i 1 ' 'H' .V fi Y ' ' 1 f'- - ' ,. . ., -M ,.....-.- we-- . . 5.

Perhaps, the following statement of the famous American philosopher, Alexander Meiklejohn, epitomizes the opinions held by parents, administrators, teachers, and leaders in government and education throughout the nation: lt seems to me that stronger than any other group, tougher in intellectual fiber, keener in intellectual interest, better equippegl than any others to battle with coming problems are the debaters-the students who, apart from their regular studies band themselves together for in- tellectual controversy with each other and with their friends from other schools. The objective was to increase the opportunity for inter-scholastic debating for the greatest number of students who had definitely expressed a desire for this particular phase of speech work. Instead of the training being concentrated upon a few, it was spread over the entire squad of fifteen students, and each was given a chance to debate the national high school question: Resolved, That the Power of the Federal Government Should be lncreased. During the season Chrisman debaters met teams from fifty-five different schools from Mis- souri, Kansas, and Oklahoma, and participated in a total of 110 interscholastic debates, in ad- dition to innumerable intramural and demonstration debates. Among the schools Chrisman teams defeated were Wentworth, Kemper, Rockhurst, Lexington, Ioplin, Springfield, Butler, Lee's Summit, Shawnee Mission, Concordia, Maryville, and Excelsior Springs. Chrisman debaters made a commendable showing in the Wyandotte, Hickman High, Springfield, Missouri Valley, Missouri Baptist College, Culver Stockton, and Warrensburg ln- vitational tournaments. The team representing the school in the State Debating League-Clark, DeLange, lones, and Brauninger-did not qualify for the final state contest held at Columbia, but it placed second out of twenty-five schools in the district finals, losing by a two to one decision.

She has also found time tor extra-curri- cular Work as a sponsor of the Dramatic Club. ' Spanish has become quite a popular Miss Florence Cooke Miss Ellen Singleton subject since our government has been promoting closer union With South Ameri- can countries. A knowledge of Spanish is required in order to secure employment in certain fields. LATIN Miss Ellen Singleton has held the position of instructor in Latin for several years. Her interest in the study oi Latin and her appreciation of Roman civilization and literature has been a means ot awakening enthusiasm for these things among the students. The study of Latin, by reason of its precision and exactness, at-fords educational values which are important in the training of the mind. Another good result is the background in gram- mar and vocabulary which it affords for English.

By aid- ing her pupils in every way, Mrs. Duggan has won the admiration and cooperation of the en- tire student body. In the main study hall, there are thirty tables with six pupils seated at each one. This study hall is filled seven periods a day. Between 8:30 and 9:00 a. rn., l2:45 and l:00 p. m., and 3:15 and 4:00 p. m., non compulsory study periods are held for students who wish a quiet, well- equipped place to study. On account of the overflow of students this year, extra study halls had to be provided. These were in some of the rooms under the direction of teachers who had no classes that particular hour. LIBRARY Adjacent to the main study hall is one of the most important departments of our school-the William Chrisman library, containing a wealth of knowledge which is available to the searching student. Miss Ellyn Kramper has the important task of librarian. Although a comparatively new member of the faculty, Miss Kramper is liked very much by the students who find in her a cheerful, cooperative person always ready to help sophomore, junior, or senior alike to find the book best suited to each individual need. Last year, 13,631 overnight and two-week books alone were checked out. These figures excluding the books which were checked out during study halls or other class per Mrs Mary Duggan Miss Ellyn Kmmper iods show how vital a part the library plays in the life of every student The large number of new books pur chased in the fall of this year required additional shelves Four sections each ten by six feet in length were added Timely magazines and monthlies as well as newspapers are furnished for pupils who wish to read durinq their lei sure time Outside reference books are available for extra reading on almost any subiect Late editions of encyclopedias and dictronaries are an added asset wvdsb M wa-..-. 5 Y 999 gl- . . , .423-'ETA-5 ' J .. . .

I '- - ' W' DEPARTMENTS 'Hr The Arts MUSIC This is the iirst time in several years that Miss lessie Smith has been the only teacher in the music department. In previous years she usually had one of the music teachers from lunior High assisting her. Besides her boys' and girls' chorus classes, Miss Smith also teaches fundamentals of music and directs the school orchestra. Large numbers ot students are en- rolled in these classes. I ' I ln her Work as sponsor of the Glee Club, Miss Smith super- Mlss lessle Smlth vises the girls' quartet and trio and directs the annual operetta. ln the spring she assists the students in their preparation for the state music contest at Columbia. She also serves on the committee that plans the assemblies. Formerly she was supervisor ot music in the Independence school system, but this year there was no such supervisor. ' Z Students taking chorus find it a very delightful subject. Perhaps the most attractive part about it is that it requires no outside preparation. Most ot the time is spent in learning to sing together, but certain times are set aside tor listening to classical music and creating a better appreciation tor it. ln fundamentals of music one learns about composition ot music as a Whole. The first part of the year is spent on dictation, harmony, and practice at sight reading. The second semester is made up of a study of the history of music and striving for appreciation of better music. Members ot the orchestra gain much by learning to cooperate in rendering musical num- bers. V Room 107 Girls' Chorus 68 - ww 2 tw L ' 'PQ f Wilglfxf ltzllqffifs Q 43 f 1.

Sampson who is very well qualified to conduct her art classes. She received her A. B. Degree at the Colorado State School of Education and her Maste1 s Degree at Columbia University, New York City. Her gracious personality and willingness to assist all who seek her aid is known to all the students. Energetic, capable, and efficient are adjectives that describe Miss Sampson for she not only sponsors the Art Club and the Art Honor Society, but she spends a great deal of time supervising The Gleam. She directs The Glecnn Art Staff in working on the dummy. This work begins during the preceding summer and is carried on throughout the school year. ln William Chrisman art is not taught as a cultural frill. Students learn that art problems are woven into the warp and woof of every day life. Art education builds for national de- fense. lt builds personalities--art in personal appearance and in clothing. lt builds homes- art in the home, the yard and garden. It improves communities-art in civic improvement, streets, parks, public buildings. It strengthens business-arrangement of merchandise and store windows. It is a vital part of industry-art in manufactured articles, large and small. lt is the appeal in advertising-good lettering, arrangement and color harmony in posters, signs, cards, Miss Nell E' Sampson etc. It is a major item in amusements-theatres, pleasure resorts. as lt is cultural and fundamental, historic and contemporary-archi tecture, sculpture, painting, minor arts. Students solve many art problems, experimenting with vari- ous media and, materials, thus gaining appreciation, knowledge, and skill. To become a member of the William Chrisman Chapter of the National Art Honor Society is the ambition of every art stu- dent. The grade requirements to enter this society are an S in art and an M average in all other subjects with no failures. ...mm . - . .. . ! ' 3512511 I '. Af ,--f ' ' f '?'

ENVOY Democratic dealings and progress have been the ideals of our school paper's staff from its very beginning in l898, to the group of over fifty loyal workers of today. The name may change-and has changed-The Advocate, Independence' High School Booster, Gleam, and now the Envoy. but its fine principles and aims are unvaryingly the same. The Envoy is one of the best examples ot Democracy in William Chrisman, for anyone with a little ambition and the desire to render some small service to his fellow students may come to Envoy meetings and receive assignments. Of course, those who show no interest and fail to hand in their small tasks, are dropped, but to be or not to be on the staff lies solely in each worker's hands, as there is no spoils system, or partiality. Freedom of the press is one of the strongest blocks in the foundation of our great Democracy, and Ohrisman's Envoy certainly enjoys that God-granted privilege. Through editorials, features, and the various columns, the students are granted the right and satisfaction of expressing their own in-most opinions on the numerous problems of the school and the world in general. Only things that would be harmful or detrimental to others are cut. But every crew launched out on the sea of service must have an able skipper to be a guidance, inspiration, and leader. We are fortunate in having one of the greatest skippers ever-Miss Mabel Potter. .lt would be a difficult job to count all the many, many hours she puts in every week-helping the editor to write heads, plan the dummy, rewrite articles, and a thousand and one little things that invariably come up in the last few hours before the finished product must be whisked off to the printer, Mr. Paul Gould. l-le is another link in the chain of 70 - V -vffs w :m g-V ' .. 2' fAvEf.it'f':' 'lfP':'Qx: 4fs5?2 fYl t Ll?'i'f.

Rachel 'Peck andlMary Maness spent several weeks in lune sketching, designing, and dis- cussing thelr work with the engraver. Ioanne Wilson contributed layouts for pages in the first chapter. 'At the end of june, Rachel and Mary had completed their drawings for the opening and divisron pages. Rachel also had tentative sketches prepared for the remaining two-thirds of the book. I In September other art students joined the staff and assisted in enlarging and duplicating these layouts for the dummy. As the class pictures were taken, much time and earnest effort was given by lack Ramsey, Homer Tordoff, lack Hockery, and Eugene Parker, in cutting ,and pasting the pictures in alphabetical panels. They were assisted by other members of the art staff. ' Through the cooperation of twenty-five art students, the editor-in-chief lack Ramsey, andthe untiring efforts of our sponsors, Miss Sampson and Miss Hill, all senior, junior, and sophomore panels were completed, snap-shot pages mounted, and about three-fourths of all copy turned in to the engraver by December fifteenth. Because of the illness of Mary Maness, Rachel Peck enlarged and completed all the two- color drawings for the opening and division pages. Besides the loose-leaf dummy, two bound Volumes were drawn and completed, one by Rachel Peck, the other by Florence Lambert. The Year Book requires sustained effort throughout the year. THE LITERARY STAFF of The Glecrm is faced with the problem of revising and editing 'every article in the annual: but to make this task more difficult, each space must be filled with just the right number of words-no more, nor less. Besides writing the copy, the staff must check the correct spelling of all the names, and see that each picture is properly identified. By the picture of each senior is placed a list of the honors he has received. These names must be ar- ranged in alphabetical order and typed. The workers on the literary staff are selected on a basis of their ability to write well and on their dependability. This year the staff consisted of eight sen- iors and six juniors. They were: seniors, lack Ramsey, editor-in-chief: Dorothy Mills, literary editorg Marilyn McKim, lane Short, Mary Louise Riley, Ioanne Wilson, Robert Penn, Dorsy Lou Compton: juniors, Katherine Green, Patricia Hunt, Mary Alice Goebel, Elizabeth Baker, Clydine james, and Edna Dyer. Miss Hill, the sponsor, is the hub around which the staff revolves. Although she is always busy, she is ever ready to lend assistance when an article proves too long or too difficult for the one to whom it has been assigned. It is the desire of the staff to catch the spirit of Chrisman and preserve in it print in The- Gleam. 73 .f-.L.,.,,,, ,,' fn , Q ' ' ' .,, - , DEPARTMENTS fi' TYPING STAFF Each year a few of the best students in the typing classes are chosen to work as The Gleam typing staff. This year these eight faithful people were chosen: Bernard Butterworth, Imogene Petentler, Norma Lee Trout, Letty Belle Moody, Betty Lou Pfefer, Rosalie Taylor, Clifford McComas, and Virginia Lee Harris. Their splendid work has been greatly aided by the able direction of Miss Ada Fallon. They have been untiring and most valuable to the rest of The Gleczm workers for theirs is a vital contribution to the staff. Before anything can be sent to the printers of The Gleam, many steps are taken: First, articles must be outlined and assigned to the members of the literary staff by the literary editor with the aid of Miss Hill: these people in turn collect the material and write these articles: when this is done their workkis typed and checkedp often the articles must be rewritten. Finally, the completed copies are sent to The Glecrm typing staff in order that the final copy may be made. Their work is one of the most important steps toward the completion of your Gleam. The Gleam ADVERTISING STAFF Without the advertising staff no Gleam could be a success, for this staff, headed by Mr. Phillips, works dili- gently to solicit ads from merchants to help pay for The Gleam. These advertisements also help the students to become acquainted with the merchants. Those who solicit ad.s are especially fortunate because they come in direct contact with the business men. Mr. Phillips gave assignments to the members of the staff, kept the records of sales, and was always willing to give advice and help to the workers. The advertising staff this year included Wanda Bee Lambert, lerry Irving, loyce Mertell, Martha Keedwell, Warren Ash, R. C. Miller, Charles Iohnson, Esther- Wagoner, Helen Robertson, Wanda lean lones, and Harold Winters. Business managers for The Glecxm were Warren Ash and R. C. Miller. These boys had a great many tasks and responsibilities. They made all the arrangements for pictures, kept in touch with the en- gravers, and had charge of all financial matters. They also had to consult Mr. Moon about printing arrangements. Doris Thatcher, Ralph Patterson, Iames Root, and Fred Alexander contributed to the success of The Glecrm with their snapshots of school life.

The William Chrisman plane geometry classes were represented by Hillman Dickinson, lesse Foster, and lohn Russell, all sophomores from Miss Ethel Bene- field's classes. Ruth Cannon, a junior, was the candidate from our advanced alge- bra class. She is a student under Miss Ianie Chiles. Preliminary mathematics tests were given to any student at Chrisman who was interested. The ones making the highest grades on this test were the students from whom our contestants were chosen. SPELLING Three students were chosen this year to represent William Chris- man at Warrensburg in the annual spring spelling contest. The contestants were: Betty Mallett, Ioan Slusher, and Patty McDaniel.' An elimination contest was held three weeks before the contest date and all students who entered the contest were given a list of one thousand words to study. The contestants spelled one hundred words a day for two weeks. At the end of that time the scores were added and the three students with the highest scores were the ones chosen to represent William Chrisman. MUSIC This year our school was well represented in the state music contest which was held at Columbia, Missouri, April 26, 1941. ln the instrumental section we were represented exceptionally well in four different groups: for the piano were Betty Lee Walker, Clarence Sinclair, Mary Ellen Brooks, and Virginia Cassell.

The accompanists were Bernard Butterworth, Daniel McCoy, Betty Walker, and Harold Chandler. ' LATIN One of the aims of many students studying Latin is to take part in the Latin contest which is held every year at Warrensburg. Therefore, Miss Ball at lunior High School and Miss Singleton here at Chrisman work diligently with their students to prepare them for this important event. The students studying first year Latin and those taking second year are the only ones that may participate in 'these contests since the contest for the third and fourth year has been discontinued. This was done two years ago because there were not enough students taking third and fourth year Latin to constitute 'a fair con est.

Band is now under the able direction of Mr. Frank Martin for the third year, in each of which it has made astounding progress. This amazing advancement is due to Mr. Martin's very pleasing and compelling personality. The band is a company of the corps, the same as any of the other companies: it has its own captain, lieutenants, and non-commissioned oiticers. It has more than thirty-two pieces. The band, which played tor all football and basketball games, is the source of rhythm for the pa- rades ot the l:t.Q.T.C. regiment here at school. At the games, besides playing the regular marches, the band played special collegiate fight tunes, such as Bow Down to Washington and Ohio's Across the Field. The band has worked very hard on concert pieces. Their re- ward came this spring, when after giving their concert for one assembly, they were requested by popular demand to repeat the concert for the other assembly. The R.O.T.C. band has grown to be a necessary part of our school lite and has furnished much enjoyment. ' R.O.T.C. Band -TWEWQH - 2. M?

This year showed an increased popularity in Cn the March the new methods of drill, issued by the War Depart- ment, in 1939, and first put into effect here last year. This drill abolished several of the older, more complicated movements and simplified many of the other movements. The true test of the year's work was shown in the annual lnspection held in April. For a number of years our Corps by a narrow margin has just missed receiving the rating of Honor High School.

Although she is very busy directing the intramural sports, she successfully sponsors the M Club and the Pep Club. She is also one of the sponsors ofthe junior 'class and was oneof the directors of the junior play. Tireless effort and capability have made Miss Doutt an essential part of the William Chrisman faculty. Miss Marjorie Doutt GYM As the best liked subject in school, gym offers the girls a period when they may play and enjoy themselves. lt offers a relaxation of the nervous system. T The girls in the gymnasium have had an active year supervised by Miss Marjorie Doutt. The classes spent several days learning how to march and to maintain good posture. The first game is baseball. Following baseball is volleyball, a less strenous game, requiring less use of energy and more alertness. Probably the best liked of the sports is basketball. This game is the most strenuous of any which the girls play. Soccer football, deck tennis, tennis, and danc- ing are all used during the semester. The classes and the M Club play in intramural contests, and the winning teams are en- titled to their C's. - The greatest honor a girl , can receive in gym is to be awarded the state letter in athletics. To win this letter, a girl must meet a grade require- ment of M or above, pass a health examination and pos- ture test. The most important requirement is sportsmanship.

The Art Club spon- sors the William Chrisman Chapter of the National Art Honor Society, mem- bership in which is the goal of every art student. l During the first semester a Hallowe'en party was enjoyed at the home l of Pollyanna Bolinger. ' t The club has enjoyed and profited by several loan exhibits: Fashion Draw- ing by Edna Marie Dunn of Kansas Cityg Collection of Watercolors by Ozark artists from Springfield, Missourip Drawings and Paintings of Interior Decora- 5 tion by Emlyn Fender, a former Chrisman Art student. One of the most in- teresting speakers at the club meetings was William McKim, a Chrisman f graduate, and for a number of years a student of Thomas Hart Benton. He , discussed composition and techniques of painting. Field trips to the Nelson Art Gallery and to the Spooner-Thayer Museum, Lawrence, Kansas, were made by some members of the club.

As a result, commercial students today have a better knowledge of the business world. There is also a more friendly atmosphere in the classes because the social activities of the club enable the students to become better acquainted. ' Among the speakers presented at the bi-weekly meetings were Miss Marguerite Kuna, from Hall Brothers, and Mr. Taylor, a lawyer.. At one meet- ing a very interesting demonstration of the Ediphone was given. All com- mercial students interested were invited to attend this special program. One of the outstanding projects of the club is the presentation of pins to shorthand and typing students who have achieved specified rates. One December 17, a Christmas dance was held in the gym, and in Ianu- ary, the club presented an assembly in which Phyllis Couchman sang, Harold Chandler and Kenneth Turner played popular music, and a play was pre- sented by Rosalie Stevenson, Dorothy Mills, lack Fuqua, and Robert Fleming. Miss Iessie Page and Mr. O. L. Athey were very conscientious sponsors of the club, and for their interest and willingness the members are grateful. THE HOME ECONOMICS CLUB of William Chrisman was organized in the fall of 1933 by the sponsors, Miss Vergie McCray and Miss Margaret Chiles. lt was organized to develop interest in the art and science of home making and to foster high ideals and appreciation for home life. The club co-operates with other clubs in their school activities by assist- ing them when they desire to use the foods or clothing laboratories. The mem- bers of the club are always willing to respond whenever their services are needed in community activites. They are called upon each year to furnish ushers for the Examiner Cooking School and gladly respond to this call. Often the club members serve at banquets for groups in the community who ask for this service. Each year the club sponsors a Cake Contest which is open to any student who cares to enter. One of its members, and the president of the club for the first semester, Miss Rosebud Denham, is an active member in the 4H Club which honored her this fall, with a trip to Chicago for her excellent work in the Home Eco- nomics field. The William Chrisman Home Economics Club is a member of the Missouri State Home Economics Club and the National Economic Association. - 103 T-jjj: F ' '51-Q:-r, 4.5----1 f,.ff'f'f. 7 A . aiu' .69 '- ' ,cggisyfffg ' l'- ' J, ggmz,-:ft .' 2 uf' V A ,EVFTY H , L ,V --iff 7 J.-,, Q rw ,.12-'1. .. ' - I UREANIZATIUNS if Clubs THE SPANISH CLUB is conducted to provide a means of using the Spanish language so that the student becomes accustomed to hearing it and to speak- ing it. In the club meetings, in addition to practice in the language, students are able to study the geographical and cultural backgrounds of Spain and of the countries of Spanish America. . An importer from Ecuador spoke at the October meeting. An American Woman who has spent fifteen years as governess in Cuba talked at the March meeting. In April, the club attended a Mexican dinner and program at Guada- lupe Center in Kansas City, Missouri. In March, the club presented an assembly program which included a Spanish play, music, and a Mexican hat dance. With the growing importance of Spanish as a link in our relations with the other countries of the Western Hemisphere, the Spanish Club offers an ideal situation for the student to familiarize himself with the language, habits, and customs of our narest neighbors. We are thus able to improve our trade relations. The club officers, elected for the whole year, are Cecile Mack, president: Marvin Wallace, vice-president: and Nadine Clum, secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Florence Cooke is the sponsor. Meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month. THE WILLIAM CHRISMAN DRAMATIC CLUB was 'organized in 1938. The sponsors are Mrs. Mary Foster Williams and Mrs. Florence Cooke. The purpose of the club is to develop a higher appreciation in dramatics, to 'break down reserve and restraint: to arouse imagination: to develop a technique in acting, and to acquire skill in impersonation of character. Students are taken into the dramatic club by try-outs which are held each semester. Two faculty members act as judges, and the dramatic club as a unit casts one vote. The prospective members are judged on voice, poise, enunciation, diction, and ability to show emotion. Each year the club sponsors the One Act Play Contest. Three plays par- ticipate-two dramas and one comedy. This year a drama, The Enemy, Won first. The cast included Aileen Williams, Lawrence Clark, Nelson Bar- nard, Katherine Green, Arthur Williams, and Dorothy Gould. This cast repre- sents Lhrisman in the district meet at Warrensburg. The other two plays participating were Cabbages and Marching Men. Individual characterization awards went to Arthur Williams and lack Fuqua, who tied for first in the boys' division: and Aileen Williams, who won first in the girls' division. Second-place winners were Howard Bevins and Mary Alice Goebel. 104 -- 'rQ3,'.sf.- A' --.- ,r.

The central aim has been: To study the biology principles which un- derlie wildlife management and condition under which wildlife can best per- petuate itself and to contribute what ever possible to provide those conditions of food, water, and cover most favorable for their preservation. Co-operating with the State Conservation Commission and land owners, the club is now sponsoring the development of 160 acres of land as a Wildlife refuge, and providing a splendid laboratory not only for the club members but for the biology classes. Trees and shrubs are being planted providing food and cover. Small dams have been constructed, providing watering places. Interesting nature trails are being developed, on which plants, nests, etc., are labeled. A large scale, feeding ,project is in progress by which the song birds, quail, and squirrels are being protected. To date, the club members have at- tached the numbered bands furnished by the Federal Government Dept. of Interior, to the legs of over 2700 wild birds, and have heard from 24, data valuable in their bird study.

V. .. it IJRAMATIES Senior Play AMERICA FIRST, a three-act comedy drama, by Robert Bay, was pre- sented by the senior class on Thursday and Friday evenings of March 6 and 7, in the High School Auditorium. The play dealt with the activities of an American family when they en- countered the poison of alien subversive activities in which their youngest son, a boy of high school age, has become involved. 'What happened to this family, and how the boy redeemed himself and brought the leaders of the movement to justice formed one of the most intensively interesting plots ever to come from a playWright's imagination. The entire action took place in the Holmes's resi- dence during one very exciting and eventful evening. America First seemed an especially appropriate play to be given at a time when everyone is being urged to Buy American, think American, and talk and act American. The cast, headed by Art Williams as Lee Holmes, the cause of all the trouble, gave an excellent performance and their enthusiasm held the audience spell-bound to the very end. Norma Winfrey, as Ann Holmes, had a very clif- ficult part for a high school student to play, the part of a widowed mother. However, she did some of the best acting seen for some time, and her last scene gave an outstanding and dramatic ending to the play. Grandpa Holmes, an old soldier who is ninety-six years old and the most remarkable man in the state, was excellently portrayed by Harold Winters. Naomi Stephenson showed her ability to fit herself into any role in the part of Elizabeth Boggs, the housekeeper. A , The other characters included Frank Adams, as Iimrny Banks, a friend of .Lee'sp loanne Wilson, as Dorothy Holmes, Lee's sister: Imogene Petentler, a high school girl named Gladys Caley, Betty Hudson, as Ola Kring, a danc- ing teachery Bob Sheetz, as Ola's brother, Bobert Davies, as Frank Griffith, a Federal man who was wounded on dutyg Iohn Carmichael, as a flying cadet named Owen Blake: Fred Alexander, a radio announcer. Before the play, the orchestra provided several numbers. Between acts Daniel McCoy played a piano solo, Aileen Williams gave a reading, Dorcile Gordon gave a vocal solo, and Kenneth Turner played a meledy of patriotic songs on his accordian. Mary Whitehead, lane Short, and Elvin Webbink assisted in the production, and Paul Noynaert and Frank Dempsey had charge of the stage and properties. The ticket sale was incharge of Lilburn Snow, Henry Luther, Ioe Paul Walters, Norma Lee Trout, Katherine lean Kelley, and Bob Fenn. The art work on the programs was done by Bachel Peck, and Miss Sampson supervised the art Classes in making the posters. Clifford McComas, Bob Harbin, Bobert Case, Cmd Gene Crandall helped with the typing and printing. Ushers were Betty Lou Wills, Delores Snavely, Norma Lee Trout, Katherine Kelley, Dorothy Nihill, Clarabelle Carpenter, Katherine Titus, and Sue Ogden. Miss lanie Chiles and Mr. Ioseph Biter, sponsors of the senior class, deserve a great deal of praise for selecting such a suitable play and for the patience and cooperation they Showed in directing the play. --'-- ' .

Caroling in the halls by a group of students is another tradition that was repeated this year. The students were selected from the chorus classes and were directed by Miss Iessie Smith. There were two assemblies given: both ot which were excellent and greatly enjoyed by the students. For one program, Elder Evan Fry, director oi radio, oi the Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints spoke. Rev. Lee F. Soxman ot the First Metho- dist Church led in prayer. Then the Glee Club directed by Miss Smith sang a Christmas Cantata entitled Chimes ot the Holy Night. The ones -having solo parts were Margaret Truman, who sang Little Town ot Bethlehem and Dorcile Gordon, who sang ln the Watches oi the Night. Bernard Butterworth played the piano accompaniment and Virginia Lee Cassell played the bells. Bev. H. D. Whitehead ot the Trinity Episcopal' Church was the speaker tor the other program, and Dr. F. M. MacDowell led in prayer. For the re- mainder of the assembly Christmas carols, thrown on the scheen, were sung by the students accompanied by Bernard Butterworth at the piano. . ,J 1 5 2. 5 , W. 4-s.,,s-Q. rl.. ,+ .Q-.-rvqjv 521, .H As:-1. 1 f' zfgiisiiavfffyhr m..

C. Ball l Grand March ' - THE ANNUAL R. 0. T. C. Military Ball of William Chrisman was held on March 28. For two Weeks previous to the event practice dances were held. The Memorial Building was beautifully decorated in red, White, and blue. One of the most exciting events of the year Was begun with the cadets and their ladies going down the receiving line of civic and military leaders. When the Grand March was announced, Colonel Harold Winters and ,Sponsor Colonel Mary Maness, Lieutenant Colonel Robert Sheetz and Miss Edna Mae Smith, led about six hundreds people from the West and east entrances onto the dance floor. The corps then paraded by twos, then fours, eights, and sixteens. Colonel Wintersthen commanded the corps to attention and to sa- lute the colors as the orchestra played The Star Spangled Banner. Red Blackburn's orchestra, which had been engaged for the evening, then broke into a popular dance tune and the dancing Was begun. A clever floor show Was presented at ten-thirty, one of the best liked per- formances being several numbers by Kansas City's Police Quartet. W The balcony was filled for this first part of the evening, With interested spectators of the brilliant affair. Beautiful decorations, delightful refreshments, lovely music-all these combined to make this an outstanding social event of the school year of 1940 and 1941. .-ma-'v+2f1 '3 flyizifgiklf-T oi. ws, fa!-iL ' .' - . ,-. 1' gm 1-Way 'Pr:'iG'?3?iff'd , -.erf'Q:!i:Jwgl'l5' 1' 45296556 ,,,..... f 1. 7 1 Q ', . aid S1 : iw.

Attendants: Lora Weatherford, Laneta Bates, Delores Snavely, L'Nora Cross THE ANNUAL homecoming game this year was played against St. loseph Central, November 8, 1940. A crowd of about 1,600 people watched the game. lt was a great disappointment to lose the game with a score of 6 to 13. William Chrisman kicked off at the beginning of the contest. St. loe started right out by putting the ball in play on the 27-yard line. The first score was made by the Central fullback, Groff Callett, from the one yard line after a pass and a series of drives by Entsminger had advanced the ball from Cen- tra1's own 29-yard line. The second score was chalked up by Norman Quenton, left halfback, who snared an Entsminger pass on the Chrisman 46- yard line and got across the goal line untouched. lack Eskridge and Nelson Barnard might have overtaken the receiver had they not been blocked by loe Holferty and Frank Lane. Entsminger kicked the extra point. The Bears got a slow start, but they launched two goal-pointed advances in the third quarter. The first hit a snare on the one-yard line. Nelson Barn- ard and Bruce Coffin were the threats. Even though the game was lost, the alumni were up in the bleachers rooting for the outweighed Bear forward wall. At the half, Bay French introduced the alumni who were present in the audience. A few of those presented were Dr. Floyd Yale, 1913-1916, football and track: Frank Baldus, 1919, football, limmy Chandler, 1914, football, Roger Skinner, 1912-1914, football: lohn Cogswell, 1920, football, lohn Boone, 1913- l9l4, football, and Clyde Cottingham, 1921-1922, football, basketball, and base- ball. A former coach here, Harry Lee, was in the bleachers and was also in- troduced. He now coaches at St. loseph Lafayette. Miss Mary Maness, nominated by the student body and chosen by the football boys, was crowned queen of the 1940 football season by Mayor Roger T. Sermon. Her attendants were Lora Weatherford, L'Nora Cross, Laneta Bates, and Delores Snavely. 5.2, 9' fG9: ,?'?4-'57 fa' 3-Q N..-'r- '.J-X -5- if will T if WSW -45z ' A-Vi ---'-is:-cas,-,.q.-1.--2 F5 f.- . - -. , ,lm 54- -gg? my ' 4.-33:-.13 ,uw .f-L- ,'. -p',5,,-1'.11..- ,.

MW. .--A SOCIAL LIFE if lunior - Senior Reception ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT May 15, 1940, about five hundred students of William Chrisman attended the Iunior-Senior reception. Those who wished to dance went to the boys' gym where they found that Dick Miller's orchestra furnished an excellent accompaniment. Those who did not care to dance en- joyed playing games in the study hall. To correspond with the idea of approaching. spring, the color scheme for the decorations was in pastel shades: pink, yellow, and blue. The girls who served the refreshments wore dresses of these colors. A After the dancing, refreshments were served both in the gym and upstairs in the study hall. Two large bowls of delicious punch and generous portions of several different kind of cake were served by members of the three literary societies. There were two sophomore girls chosen from each society to act as servers. l, 1 The members of the various committees were 'appointed by the presi- dent of the junior class, Marc Pickrell. On the decoration committee were Rachel Peck, Ioanne Wilson, Florence Lambert, lack Carmichael, and Harold 'Winters The students on the refreshment committee were Delores Snavely, Betty Lou Wills, Iane Short, and Frank Adams. In charge of arranging games which were played were Dorsey Lou Compton, lack Delrange, Sue Ogden, Marilyn McKim, and Iames Miller. The very important task of securing an orchestra to play at the reception was given. to Arthur Vlfilliams and Naomi Stephenson. W' ith the aid of the sponsors, Miss Cravens, Miss Fallon, and Mr. Wininger, the members of these committees worked hard, but they were rewarded for their efforts because the reception was a complete success.

THROUGH THE YEARS the Parent Teacher Association has been the tie that binds our parents and our teachers together. lt has been because of the P.T.A. that the parents and teachers have been able to discuss the problems which arise in the school and the home that concern the student. Forty-tour years ago, on February 17, 1897, in Washington, D. C., the first P.T.A. was founded by Mrs. Theodore Birney and Mrs. Phoebe Apperson Hearst, who felt that it the teachers and the parents could talk over matters which dealt With the children, it would be ot benefit to all those concerned. This year marks the twenty-sixth year ot the P.T.A. in William Chrisman High School, the association celebrated its Founders Day at the regular meet- ing of February 26. After a short business meeting those present enjoyed a program which consisted oi a talk on The Six Point Home by Mrs. A. Whitten Hudnall, who represented the Missouri State Conference of Parents and Teachers: a reading, Robert Makes Love, by Robert Davies, who represented the students, and a song, My Tribute, sung by Mrs. Tucktield, Who represented the home. The study class Was conducted by Mr. Rex Conyers Whose subject was Science in the Schools. Refreshments were served. The Parent Teachers' Council consists of the oiticials from the P.T.A. organizations in the various grade schools, Iunior High, and High School. The acting president of the council is Mrs. George Desmond. The council celebrat- ed its Founders Day the night of February 26, by honoring Mrs. A. L. Yingling, the founder of the P.T.A. council in Independence. The rest of the program consisted of music by the school orchestra, and by the Girls' Chorus under the direction ot Miss lessie Smith, the Dramatic Club, under the supervision of Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Cooke, presented a play showing the.beginning of the P.T.A. and a tableau portraying the spirit ot P.T.A. and her seven ideals. The invocation was given by the Rev. Schowengerdt. The P.T.A. has always been of real service to the students, and they should appreciate all that it stands for and what it has donerior them.

The purpose of the celebration was to commemorate the three great trails that started civilization westward, and the name Santa-Cali-Gon was a combination of the names of these trails. Santa, was taken from the name Santa Fe, the trail which led from Independence to the QTGCIT SOUTIIIWSSII Cfili, was from California, the trail that led, west It seemed fitting that this name be chosen because all three of these trails passed through Independence, where wagons were outfitted and repaired from time to time. The three days were spent in recreating and recalling past ad- ventures of the days when civilization in Am- erica was yet new. The festivities officially opened Monday, October 14, with the sing of a song, Santa- The festivities officially opened Monday, October 14, with the singing of a song, Santa- Cali-Con which was written especially for the celebration. In the afternoon there was a grand parade which circled the square, amidst the cheers of hundreds of spectators. All the schools of the city participated, aswell as many from smaller districts, and cash prizes were given for the most unique costumes and best covered wagons. One of the most amusing features of the celebration was the Kangaroo Court. Every man, whether townsman or not, who appeared on the streets of Independence clean shaven was promptly caught by a deputy and put in jail. On the hour, the judge, Hurley Burgess, rang the large bell and an enthusiastic crowd gathered to watch the proceedings. Fines were anythinq from three cents to a ducking in the horse trough. I The Red Barn, which was on the west side' of the square, provided many hours of entertain- ment for those who danced. Music was furnished by the K.I.T.E. Orchestra. Mike Westwood's Rough Riders, gave a matinee and two evening performances on the east side of the square daily. Their Wild and Woolly Midget Rodeo gave an air of the wild and untamed west of former years. Many of the business firms of the town had on display in their windows relics of past dayS. These antiques were of interest to all of us, as was the Old Fiddlers' Contest. On the south side of the square there was an Indian Camp which was sponsored by the BOY SCOutS- GGIIIHHG tenses C!HCl CCUT113 fires, around which the boys danced and whooped. provided amusement for all who saw it. On the north side was a representation of a pioneer camp. i One morning townsmen, dressed as outlaws and Indians, raided the city and robbed tl'19 bank. This event proved comical for those who took part as well as for those who watched. The Old TICIilS CI DCIQIeant which was given at the Auditorium on October 14 and 15, WGS a great success. It was under the supervision of Mrs. Clarence Savage and Mrs. I. A. Gardner- Mr. Ed I-lall directed the dancing and P.

A town was planned, and imagine the surprise of the audience when buildings and shops were built right there on the stage. A general store, court house, and the indispensable blacksmith shop were set up as centers of activity. The growing population found opposition from the Indians, with whom they fought a sham battle, which added realism to the pageant. ' Miss Marilyn McKim, who was elected queen of the celebration was presented in the grand finale. The spirits of the Indian trail makers and white trail makers led the entire cast in tribute to the queen and her attendants, who were: Sue Ogden, Mary Maness, Lora Weather- ford, Gloria Ettinger, Norma Trout, Betty Lou Wills, and loanne Wilson who are all students of William Chrismanp and ludy Danielson, Marjorie Burgess, Chauncey Dillingham, La Von Kram- er, Myrelle McClain, Betty La Galle, Elverta Knoche, Pearl Brown, Lorraine Storms, Pearl Owens, Iune Gavin, Mae Hall, and Ruth Mary Burnley. Wednesday October 16, all of Independence and the surrounding territory gathered in the evening to witness the parade which concluded the festivities. A crowd of over 40,000 persons were lined up on both sides of Maple and Lexington. First, second, and third prizes were given for the best costumed lady, oldest animal drawn vehicle, and the best covered wagon, the reddest, whitest, blackest, most unique, most scat- tered, and the most handsome whiskers. The judges had a very difficult time awarding the prizes fairly. The R.O.T.C. Band paraded, also the American Legion and their Drum Majorettes, and two other bands from Kansas City marched. The Kansas City Police helped handle the crowd and thetraftic which was a result of the visitors. The old fashioned ways of life and industry are quite a contrast to our present day mod- ern homes, new schools, beautiful churches, and thriving business and industry. We look back on the old way of living, the only way our ancestors knew, and think it very slow, as some 'day our descendants shall look back at us. 126 A IT PAYS TO LOOK WELL.. . .

AUTOGRAPHS MY MEMORY BOOK The happy memories of the past Are treasured in this book: There are faces within its covers On which I love to look. For they bring back recollections, Some happy and some sad, Of the many trials and triumphs And the good times that I had. With each name written in the back, Some person I recall: The girl who sat in history class And the boy in study hall. In this volume are recorded Memories of joy and strife: Experiences l'll remember And cherish all my life.
