This mighty invention sets forth a splendid model for the building of our lives. Since the beginning of time, man has always been striving for something better and higher. This upward path of progress has been followed by all of us. During our school days we have been striving to reach, the heights in education and in learning. As we climbed from one grade to the next, poising only long enough to absorb the knowledge each offered, we were steadily flying toward our goal. With a backward glance at Chrisman, from which we will now be takingoff, we can see our many trials and triumphs in other previous flights. Our zooming, stalling, spiraling, nosedives, tailspins, and climbs are mirrored there as we now level off for the long flight toward our life's work. With the aid of the ground crew -and the control tower, we can reach the heights of the stratosphere. Though the visibility be zero and the way be rough, prepare and never give up until the long flight is completed and the ship is safely landed. ,,, 4 t T CTF f' T' i'i: ....

National Athletic Scholarship Society Chapter 1234 of the National Athletic Scholarship Society was organized in William Chris- man High School May 25, 1929, 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 Scholarship Society is to raise the standard of scholar- ship among the boys participating in athletics and to instill in their minds good ideas of sports- manship. This society was chartered so that the boys might realize the unselfishness of win- ning 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 recognition. lt provides a goal for the boys to strive for and challenges them to gain in their scholastic 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 pre- vious years have made a name for themsel nd for Chrisman in their work after finishing ll , school. Q Any boy who has earned Cm qthletic i:,mLqilH'H,m one of llle 1'1'1CijO1' OI II1iI1OI' SpOI'lS, SuCl'1 CIS football, basketball, and track, whose om, ,,,,,, -fp is school work are equal to or higher than the general average of the school, and w iolihgi' exemplified the highest type of citizenship and sportsmanship is eligible for membershi his' society. . l As the present sponsor of Chrisman s Ch ter of the National Athletic Scholarship Society, Coach Charles Huhn shows an active interest in the boys who are taking part in the various types of sports and helps them in any way he possibly can. His tireless efforts and super- vision are appreciated by all concerned. We are indeed extremely proud of the three members who have been in this society for three years. They are: Bruce Coffin, Roy Crim, and Charles Neef. Much praise is also due those two boys whohave been members of the society for two years. They are:' Carmen Iohnson, and Mike Berislavich. There were seventeen boys taken in this year for membership of the society. They are: Iohn Vlfilliams, Robert Lindsay, Iames Street, Bob lohnson, Ftoger Skinner, Bob Skinner, Carl Brewer, Ben Cox, Maurice Ritter, Bill Fulton, lack Stillwell, Kenneth Savage, Clarence Sinclair, Frank Pallo, Bob Stewart, Mervin Fields, and Berl Ellis. 39 X 1' ,., i ,KWN f Q4 ff fdfx Fmmnmn ul-EQ: Ip .mf Q Z Z. ef M W xx , .

Coming to us in the fall of 1939, our superintendent has intro- duced many of the more modern ideas of education, and it is through his influence that the Independence school system has become one of the most progressive sys- tems in the state. ln cooperation with the Miss Chastain, Mr. Matthews 699 5 suvelueeztemem XN - ' uf' Missouri State Educational Departments regulations, Mr. Matthews has instituted the plan which has held sway for the past year in our schools. Our flight superin- tendent has set an excellent example for us to follow-he is following his gleam in the path of progress. Ably assisting Mr. Matthews in his numerous daily tasks is Miss Katie Chas- tain, whose cheerful manner makes as- sociations with her prove very pleasant and gains for her many friends, both faculty members and students. 43 t ,ff aw 5 Assistant Superintendent Mr. l.

Those seven- teen years have made an impression that can never be erased from the minds of those who came in Contact with him. His avid interest, worthwhile original ideas, constructive and helpful criticisms, which were always given and received in good faith, made him one of the most desired members of the school organization. Although his new position offers an ex- cellent opportunity to' be of service to many people, Mr. Hanthorn declares that he misses being in close Contact With the boys and girls. 1 At his Desk 6444 Pda!

Then he became a teacher at Gideon, Missouri. Next, he was principal at Clarkton, Missouri, and then until he came here, was principal of the Nevada High School.

Ch l ' ar es Neef, the president of the Student Council the first semester had dur' 1 Inq the preceding three years received experience 1 d in ea ership which made him an indispens- able member of the force. The office held by Iohn Hinde, vice-president, was no easy one, for he was responsible for the assemblies Th . e office of secretary is one requiring a great deal f . o time and work. To Ruth Cannon, secretary 52 I eta1'Y Rig Harper pfesidenl Bed Ellis of the Student Council, this office required no new skill since she had been the secretary of other organizations. Virgil Owens has for two semesters filled the office of parliamentarian extremely well. Berl Ellis, a comparatively new member of Chrisman, was elected to take us on the second stop of our journey. We were indeed fortunate in our choice The vice preside t f . - n o the Student Council the second semester was none other than Dave Flanders, whom we have known as our cheer leade is a secretary of unending abilities,-Ruth Harper, one of the first juniors to hold an all- e first person ever to have r.

For the second semester, Charles Hall was th e parliamentarian, a position requiring very definite skill and knowledge. -7!ze Gonna!! Student Council The Student Council form was adopted by the students in 1940 after a year of study and research by the members of the Student Council Study Club with the guidance of Miss Anne Stewart. The first council Went into session in Ianuary, 1941, with Mr. O. L. Athey as a second sponsor. The Constitution of the Student Council states the purpose as being to provide an op- portunity for the development of good citizenship and intelligent leaders: to promote closer relations between the faculty and the students . . .5 to help improve school conditions by increasing school spirit and scholarship: and to serve as an advisory' body to the students. To carry out this purpose a number of standing committees were formed. They were the committees on finance, ways and means, concessions, the constitution, lost and found, as- semblies, elections, social activities, and others. The Assembly Committee with Iohn Hinde as chairman arranged for the assemblies for the first semester. The creation of the present system of handling the lost and found articles was accomplished by that committee of which Betty Nelson was the chairman. Philip Clark, chairman of the Social Activities, and his committeemen Worked hard to obtain the noon hour mixers for the students. The Election Committee was responsible for the mechanics of our elections. The Concessions Commit- tee worked in cooperation with other organizations to handle that problem at the various school activities. ' The Finance Committee found so many ways to make money that it was necessary to create the office of Treasurer of the Student Council. Fittingly, the first treasurer was Frank Dempsey, the chairman of the Finance Committee. Through the efforts of that committee we now have three automatic candy machines in Chrisman to accommodate the passengers. On October 17 and l8, 1941, Philip Clark, Ruth Cannon, Frank Dempsey, and Dave Flanders, accompanied by Miss Anne Stewart and Sergeant H. C. Dean, bailed out from Chrisman to attend the Convention of the Confederation of the Student Councils of the Central States in Wichita, Kansas. On their return, Ruth Cannon and Philip Clark, the of- ficial delegates, repeated to the students their observations obtained at the convention. Again on November 29, l94l, a delegation from Chrisman descended on Maryville, Missouri, to attend the convention of the student councils in Missouri. Those who attended were Patricia Allen, Norris Boise, Peggy Bryan, Philip Clark, Charlotte Garrison, Iacqueline Feldehahn, Nora Kelly, Margaret Ann Riggin s, and Virgil Owens. 53 h Founders' Day Program and Social Hour Parent-Teachers Association The Parent-Teacher Association was established February 17, 1897, at Washington, D. C., by Mrs. Theodore Birney and Mrs. Phoebe Apperton Hearst. These women recognized the need for cooperation between the teachers and the parents. This as- sociation makes it possible to discuss the problems which arise in the home and the school, and thus, aids the students in every way possible. The association at' lnde- pendence was formed twenty-seven years, ago by Mrs. A. L. Yingling. n The officers for the years 1941-1942 were: President, Mrs. Richard Givensp first vice president: Mrs. Ralph Tuckfield, second vice president, Mrs. Roy Pryor: recording secretary, Mrs. Elmer Rowland, corresponding secretary, Mrs. I. R. Austin: treasurer, Mrs. Malcolm Pittman, historian, Mrs. Howard Hindeg and auditor, Miss Iessie Page. Founder's Day was celebrated with a special program on February 3 of this year. Mr. Donald MacMillan, science teacher at Iunior High School, entertained with two violin solos. He was accompanied by Miss Marguerite Klutz, mathematics teacher at lunior High. Mrs. loe Nielsen, chairman of the program, spoke on The Origin and the Founding of the P.-T. A. Mrs. Tuckfield and Mrs. Carroll sang a duet, Whisper- ing Hope. Before the program, a study class was conducted., The subject was Our School and the School Board. Refreshments were served. This organization has been very active in the Independence schools and should be greatly appreciated by the students. ' N- fi The spring of the year l9l8 brought about the completion of W il lia m Chrisman High School. Twelve years later, in l93l, the annex was built. lwainlenance eww Chrisman Custodians An important Work in the school system is done by the janitors. Without them the school would be a dismal place in which to study. They heat, clean, and keep the building sani- tary and' comfortable. George Kreeger is head custodian of all Independence schools and sees that all schools are well kept. The first floor of Chrisman is kept by lohn Haun. This is Mr. Haun's second year at Chrisman. C. R. Watson is in his third year here and is in charge of the second floor. lohn T. Greer, who is the second oldest janitor in the school system, has been in the service of the lnclependence schools for sixteen yars. He has spent three years at Iunior High School and has been at Chrisman a total of thirteen years. He takes Quite an interest in the dif- ferent-school activities here. Tom Ritter takes care of the third floor. Since this is Mr. Ritter's twelfth year here, he feels quite at home. Wil- liam Thompson is in charge of the heating plant. We should be very grateful to these men who keep our school building so comfortable for us. 55 Mechanical Drczwing-Room 106 Bookkeeping---Room 205 Chemistry-Room 304 Geometry--Room 201 L...

The takeoff for this group began last summer and continued until THE GLEAM made its last trip to the engraver. The first duty of this group Was to choose the theme, which is progress, to select the motif, the airplane, and to decide upon the color scheme, silver and blue. After school started, this group had to start zooming. All sketching and designing of the layout and of the opening and division pages had to be completed. The grand race started when the class pictures were taken. They had to be sorted, trimmed, and pasted in alphabetical arrangement on card- board panels. All of this Work had to be done after school, in off periods, and on Saturdays. Q The art staff of THE GLEAM had L'Nora Cross at the controls as editor. Others, co-pilots and members of the ground crew, who assisted in the Work were Dorothy Houchens, Mary Harrel, Bob Iohnson, Peggy Bryan, Ona Mae Cook, Pollyanna Bolinger, Dolores Adams, Evelyn Sudbrock, Norma Boyd, Margaret lohnson, Evelyn Phillips, Lola May Stovall, Patricia Allen, and Margaret Mclntire. ' lThrough bad Weather, stalls, and spins the staff has been steered by Miss Sampson, who brought them through to good visibility and clear flying. .. , we grew ' The Literary Staff ' The literary staff of The Gleczm is the ground crew that writes, revises, and edits all the copy for the annual skywriting publication. Before taking off, the space allotted for each article must be measured so that the Words will coincide with the space. From the time that space on the dummy has been measured by the layout staff until the deadline, it is an air race to see how quickly the articles can be Written and handed in. The Gleam staff is a plane of the tri-motored type operating because all three motors Work-the sponsor, the editor-in-chief, and the literary editor. Miss Hill is the spinner or propeller hub, and stabilizer around Which the staff Works. She supervises the members of the crew who volunteer to write and is in her cabin ready to help anyone Whose article has them in a spin or stall. This year the staff numbers twenty, fourteen seniors and six Juniors. Wanda Bee Lambert, editor-in-chief, is the chief pilot of the staff. She is a dependable head at the controls. Shirley McFarlane, the literary editor, is the directional finder and co-pilot of the staff. She has control of the stick and Watches the-speed gauge by giving out assignments and seeing that they are handed in on time., STANDING: Shirley McFarlane, Literary Editor: Miss Hill, Literary Sponsor Meyer Mallett Cannon, Slusher, Hinde, Boone.

Typists and Advertisers Three of the groups which are concerned with the publication of The Gleam are the typing staff, the advertising staff, and the business managers. The typing staff 'is composed of students who are fast and accurate typists. These students Work under the direction of Miss Fallon. The advertising staff under Mr. Phillips makes it possible for The Glectm to be sold at a reasonable price to the students. They obtain all the ads. The business managers this year are Robert Kirby, Elmer Kuhn, and Robert Grinter. Any night after school for the past few months, one could find these three boys Working faithfully with Miss Ianie Chiles on The Glecxm. 7fze em., . x , L V X173-f Qib- Staff at Work Our School Paper Through the years, the school paper has played a large part in school life. From the time it was first published in 1898 under the name of the School Advocate, it has progressed, until today, it is one of the outstanding student achievements of Chrisman. The purpose of the paper has always been to provide Chrisman students with news. The method of choosing the staff has for the past few years been the same. Any student Who wishes to write for the paper, who attends the staff meet- ings, and who turns his assignments in on time, is considered a member of the staff. Due to this unusual procedure, the staff changes with each paper. The editors of the Envoy. this year were Martha Lee Hood and Fred Kevetter. As always, they were elected by popular vote of the student body. The able sponsorship of Miss Potter, Miss Singleton, and Mr. Phillips is one of the main reasons the paper has been a success. Their faithful work and help have meant a great deal to the editors of the Envoy. ' W STANDING: Meyer, Fen- nell, I. Watt, Weatherford, Crow, Bryan, Ebling, Cassell, Kimsey, Lowe, Overman, Holman.

Boys Gym and Hour A vouey Ball i lt is through the many hours spent in volleyball, that many of those fellows taking QIYm learn one of life's greatest lessons. This sport calls for com- plete cooperation which is also essential in life's flight. 72 i Q ,,,.,..... , W4.,.f-- L fnhaifnzmal Speak Girls' Gym Girls' gym is undoubtedly one of the best-liked courses in the curri- culum here at Chrisman. ln ad- dition to affording the girls an op- portunity for complete relaxation, gym also teaches the girls to play a number of different types of sports. At the same time, it stimulates their characters and does much toward the development of good sportsman- ship and the ability to get along with ' other people. The three major sports in which the girls participate during a semes- ter of gym are baseball which is played at the Campus, volleyball, a game which demands more alertness, and basketball, usually the favorite of the three. Besides these, they learn the principles of soccer, football, deck tennis, and ten- nis. They also spend several days in dancing. The gym classes participated in intramural contests in the various sports. The Winner of the class tournament plays the M Club, and the victorious team is entitled to a C in that sport. The M l Club Won every game of the tournaments this year. The M Club teams consisted of: Mary Clifford, L'Nora Cross, Helen Hinde, Clydine Iames, Martha Lee Hood, Betty Liddle, Lucille Walker, Kathryn Iagger, Virginia Kennon, lrene Butkovich, Bar- bara Barto, Doris Cairns, Mary Hilton, Margaret Pollard, Evelyn and Meta Sudbrock, Gloria Smith, and Margaret Cato. To become a member of the Club the student must' earn 1000 points. These are , obtained by making the three teams, by hiking and by swimming, and through school activities. Although this year was Miss Street's iirst, she proved to be a guiding and helpful friend to all the girls, not only in the gym but as the sponsor ofthe Pep Club and the Club. X Field Day The Field Day Track Meet, held at the athletic field, provided fun and thrills for the enthusiastic gym stu- dents who took part in the variety of events. r 73 14175 Race!

Each member pledges himself to encourage, and, where possible, provide for the preservation of such vegetation, woodlands, water resources, and any such natural protective cover or haunts which are essential to the various species of wildlife. - ' A 205 acre wildlife refuge is being developed on the land of several co- operating land-owners and.with the help of the State Conservation Commis- sion. This year, winter feeding of song birds was done. 2500 berry producing shrubs and vines were planted to provide food and cover runways for small furbearers and some birdsr Approximately 40 Wren and bluebird houses were put up, around the sanctuary. A large map of the area has been made on which all progress is being recorded. A library has been started in which there is an increasing number of good wild-life magazines. Future plans call for the construction, of a dam, and the development of a nature trail through the refuge. Bird-banding, a former interesting activity, carried on by the Federal Government, 'has been limited this year to chimney swifts, due to transportation' limitations. ' Valuable data has been coming in from the 2800 already banded, however, 46 having been heard from, these returns ranging from the border of Mexico to Ontario, Canada. s Home Economics Club 'The Home 'Economics Club n of William Chrisman was organized in 'the' fall of i933 by the capable and indispensable sponsors, Miss Vergie McCray'and Miss Margaret Chiles.

To do this successfully the members have found it necessary to meet twice each week-on Tuesday and on Friday. At the first of this year Mr. Page was the sponsor. After he left, Mr. El- liott took over the work of sponsor, a position which he has often occupied in years past in former radio clubs. This year the Radio Club has about twenty members. Ellis Thatcher was chosen as president. Before a person can obtain a federal license to operate a private radio station, he must pass a federal examination. Radio code is included on this test. Therefore the members of this club are not only learning something which is of interest to them, but in the future their knowledge may prove to be very valuable. This is an organization which has entirely devoted itself to work for the past year. 89 JWWWJGM DRAMATIC CLUB TOP ROW: Dickinson, Pritchard, Kuhn, Meyer, Kirby, Coil, Pittman, Flanders, I-liles.

The club has done a great deal to make the hours pass more quickly and pleasantly. , An excellent group of passengers was chosen for the club's cabin early in November. They were selected according to their voice, poise, enunciation, direction, and ability to show emotion. Through the untiring guidance of their sponsor, Mrs. Williams, and the assistance of the newly-organized drama classes, under Miss Cassell, the club soared to new heights. On December 5 and 6, a fast-moving mystery comedy, H320 College Ave- nue, was presented. With a superb cast of twenty-four, the play was 'packed with thrills for those who watched the exacting adventures of the sorority sisters on the Avenue. ' ' ' ' . Six one-act plays were presented March 26 and 27. On Thursday, a drama, a comedy, and a mystery held the spotlight. The characters of The Dictator Visits His Mother, Child Wonder, 'and Ghostly Passenger, were excellently-chosen and portrayed. Friday evening's attractions were, Bed of Petunias, a comedy, The Man Who Died at Twelve O'Clock, an ,all-negro comedy, and Curse You, lack Dalton, a melodrama. I I y Y This year the national high school proposition was not only of vital in- terest but highly debatable, Resolved: That every able bodied male citizen in the United States should have one year of full time military training before attaining the present draft age. i Chrisman met ninety schools from six states in 222 contests winning seventy per cent. Some of the outstanding ones defeated were: Springfield, Webster Groves, Missouri, Bentonville, Arkansasg Wichita, North, Topeka, Wyandotte, Kansas City, Kansas: and Miami, Oklahoma. We went to the quarter finals at Springfield, Wyandotte, and Bolivar tournaments, to the finals at Missouri Valleyy and won the Columbia and Warrensburg meets. ' - The team representing Chrisman at N. F. L. contest at Drury-Bevins, Foster, Dickinson, and Russell-won third in the state. In the Missouri State Debating League Bevins, Foster, and Dickinson were West Central District champions and ranked third in the state finals in Columbia, April ll. We were also honored by an invitation to the Little Nationals at Wentworth, which was extended to the twelve best teams in five states. Chrisman tied for third place award. This year Chrisman had one of the best teams in her history composed of six juniors and six seniors.

In their annual stage presentation on April 16 and l7 in the high school auditorium, the seniors proved the above statement to be a true fact. The Little Minister, a three-act romantic drama based on I. M. Barrie's im- mortal novel, was chosen as the senior play of 1942. Scene of action was the parsonage of Auld Licht Kirk in Thrums, Scotland, the home of Gavin Dishart, the little minister. . Heading a superb cast were Helen Robertson, outstanding in her por- trayal of Babbie, the gypsy, and Iohn Hinde Who shared top-notch acting honors with his characterization of the little minister. Supporting players were as follows: -V . The character part of lean MacGregor, the serving, maid, was excellently played by Yvonne Tuckfield. Wanda Bee Lambert realistically took the role of Tibbie Cruik, a young village matron. Betty Hatch was Elspeth Dibbs, the proctor's daughter who diligently searched for an eligible bachelor. Micah, the twelve-year old son of. Rob Dow, was none other than our own Marvel Sharp who played her part enthusiastically. Martha lean Lefman as Gavin's mother, Margaret Dishart, gave a fine character portrayal. Capable Don Meyer was Dr. McQueen, the philosophi- cal physician. Rob Dow, the reformed village drunkard, was a different part exceptionally'Well-handled by Dave Flanders. Elmer Kuhn was imposing as Sergeant Halliwell of the British Army. Virginia Ann Smith portrayed Nanny, a poverty-stricken old 'woman. F rank Dempsey played Tammas Cruik, Tibbie's husband. . ' . , Without the indispensable help from many of the members of the faculty and senior class, the performance could not have run so smoothly. The prologue was given by Robert Kirby. Music especially appropriate for the occasion was supervised by Miss Iessie Smith. Miss Cassell took charge of the costumes, While Hanson supervised the tickets. 'Miss Fallon directed the making of the programs. Stage hands were Paul Noynaert and Lawrence Smith. While L'Nora Cross and Dellamae Nunn acted as prompt- ers, Leslie Schaub, Paul Roberts, and Ruth Cannon served as stage managers. Between acts both Lorena Guyton and Robert Franciskato sang a solo, Clarence Sinclair presented a piano solo. Much credit is due to the faith-ful, cooperating sponsors of the senior class, Miss Ianie Chiles and Mr. Ioseph Biter. The senior play has always been an outstanding dramatic event, and the ability of this cast proved that it fulfilled its duty in upholding the Chrisman standards.

Smith, Soxman, B. Lewis, Haines, Slusher. Christmas Play ., . fb lunior Play Spring Fever, a fast moving comedy by Glenn Hughes, was presented February 5th and 6th by the junior class. The time of the play was the month of June, and the place was Mrs. Spangler's CThelma Coon? rooming house on the campus of Brookfield College. It was commencement week and Howard Brant Cl-leber Cannon? turned in his zoology term paper ten minutes late-which caused all the trouble. Mr. Purcell tKenneth Knight? the wealthy father of Ann Purcell, Uane Ellen Johnson? Howard's heart interest, arrived on the campus and was mis- taken for Vic Louis's CGeorge Mastio? model for a magazine cover. - A Anne and Vivian Uoanne Ellis? tried squaring things up by having Ann act as though she were dying and in the commotion had her father sign a paper which cleared. up everything. Mr. Purcell first refused, but Mrs. Purcell CShirley Vardeman? laid down the law!'f . Howard's Aunt Maude tVenna Stevens? and Ed Burns Uohnk Pritchard? and Lou Herron tl-lelen Hinde? did some scheming of their own which only led to a romance between Aunt Maude and Professor Bean tlohn Russell? ' 'Finally President Dixon CHillman Dickinson? consented, to Howard's graduating so everything ended happily. Silent night, holy night, All is calm, all is bright. The carol faded to a faint strain, the halls echoing back the beautiful hymn. Christmas spirit was abundant at William Chrisman, and the tra- ditional carols added a superb touch to the time of year when all the world seemed to be at its best. - ln the main hall, decked out in gay tinsel, lights, and icicles, stood the huge tree radiatinga cheerful glow-the ENVOY'S Christmas present to our school. - Grandma's Christmas, an appealing play, carried out the festive spirit in a Yuletide assembly. The excellent character part of Grandma Mac- Allister was taken by Virginia Haines. Other members of the capable cast, sponsored by Miss Ianie Chiles and Miss Iessie Smith, were: Roderick Page, Bob Stewart, Beverly MacAllister, Edna Mae Smith, Iohn MacAllister, Sammy Stockdale, Louisette, Ioan Slusher, Mrs. MacAllister, Lorena Guyton, Butler, Byron Lewis, son, Lee Soxrnan. Student announcer and play director were Virginia Smith and Peggy Spears, respectively. The entire assemblage joined in the singing of age- old carols. As all students departed for a happy vacation, a warm glow filled their spirits as they shouted Christmas greetings to their friends. aw We aw Girls' Ensemble ' Replacing the Glee Club of previous years, the Girls' Ensemble has proved itself to be a very successful organization. At the beginning of the year, any girl who was desirous of becoming a member was given an op- portunityto try outj From these Miss Smith selected about twenty girls. Later a' few more were added from the chorus classes. y, Besides planning and producing the musical presentation, America Sings, the Girls' Ensemble sang at various school functions and at some of the churches. They provided the music for the Thanksgiving and Easter assemblies as well as baccalaureate service and commencement exercises. In addition they sang at the induction ceremony for the new members of the National Art Honor Society. They also entertained the Ministerial Al- liance at their banquet for, the installation of officers. A small group from the Ensemble sang at the Presbyterian Church at Christmas, while the entire chorus participated in a' pre-Easter service at the First Baptist Church. ' A This girls' chorus was under the able direction of Miss Iessie Smith, who not only instructed them but supervised the production of America Sings. Betty Mallett accompanied the Ensemble in all their programs and in Amer- ica Sings. T r Orchestra . One of the subjects in the curriculum of William Chrisman that gives the students the opportunity to develop their talents along the line of music is thelorchestra. Under the leadership of Miss Iessie Smith, the orchestra spends the class periods throughout the week in practice. For this subject the students receive one-half point credit. During the course of the year the orchestra rendered service to the school by playing at the annual senior play and by supplying the marches for both the baccalaureate service and the commencement exercises. Three members of the orchestra went to Warrensburg to take part in the All District Orchestra at the meeting of the Central Missouri State Teachers' Association. These three students were Ioanne Ellis and Alwyn Edwards, violinists, and Leonard Hartman, trumpet. At the same time a small group from the chorus classes participated in a District Chorus. These were Bob Franciskato, Paul Iohnson, Fred Harle, Everett Stone, Bettie Parker, Lauvine Oswald, Miriam McCoy, and Ruth Atkins. The orchestra of William Chrisman has been under the direction of Miss Iessie Smith for a number of years, and her patient work with it has helped to make it successful.

This musical show was planned and presented by the Girls' Ensemble with the aid of some of the boys from the boys' chorus class. Various committees made up of members of the Ensemble built the program around the popular music of America throughout the different periods in the history of her growth. Taking off with music portraying the life of the American Indians, the program sailed on through the colonial period with its stately minuet, 'the era of the Old South with its rhythmic Negro spirituals, the Gay Nineties with their sprightly, hilarious tunes -and the smooth flowing waltz, the first World War accompanied by stirring songs of loyalty and devotion, the world of tor day and its modern melodies with the South American accent, and finally soared to its greatest height with the patriotic' music of the second World War, music that speaks a challenge to every American citizen. America Sings was produced under the direction of Miss Iessie Smith. The numbers were accompanied by Betty Mallett. This program took the place of the operetta presented annually by the Glee Club. The Band n C , This past year has brought something new in the way of bands to Wil- liam Chrisman. In former years the band was composed of R. O. T. C. ca- dets entirely. In order to give more students the opportunity to develop their musical talents, the band this year was opened to all students, to girls as Well as to boys. Since the all-school band takes in a wider range of students, it was only logical that it would accomplish finer work. Under the direction of Mr. .Frank Martin, the band made rapid prog- ress. The band served the school by supplying music for the home games in both football and basketball. An entirely new feature of the band that also served as entertainment for the students was the maiorettes, the first in Chrisman's history. Following Mr. Martin's resignation, Mr. Waldemer Meyer took over the direction of the band and continued the fine work started by his predecessor. It was under the leadership of Mr. Meyer that the band presented the concert which was a part of the musical show, America Sings. Both Mr. Martin and Mr. Meyer are to be commended for their splendid work with the organiza- tion. 99 Span The Seventh Annual Military Ball of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps was held March 6, 1942, The Ball was the most formal and color- ful social event of the school year. Memorial Hall was beautifully decorated in red, White, and blue for the affair. The Grand March, which formed after the reception of the Corps by a group of prominent civic and military figures of this area, was an impressive ceremony. More than one hundred fifty couples took part, filling the arena floor. The March was led by Cadet Colonel Donald Meyer, with Sponsor Colonel Lois Feldhahn, and Cadet Lieutenant- Coloziel Dave Flanders, with Miss lane Ellen Iohnson. The Grand March is one of the traditional features of the Ball. Following the Grand March, an evening of dancing began to the music of Clayton Harbour's Orchestra of Kansas University, avery out- standing musical organization, Which presented as Well several Well received novelty numbers. T The customary floor show gave Way this year to an intermission, at which time the guests chatted with their friends or partook of the re- freshments provided in the hall. The Grand March l0U 12. 0. '16, The R. o. T. c. Military Ball The Military Ball has become in itself a tradition in Chrisman. Since the first Ball in 1936, it has been one of the most eagerly anticipated evenings of the year, an event which the majority of the student body looks forward to for months in advance. A Ball is hardly over when the plans are already being made for the next one, that it might be even better than the one before. The excitement, the planning, the practice dances, the preparation of the many de- tails that go to make up a supreme social event, all are as much a part of it as the evening itself. lt is an event looked forward to by the townsfolk as well. Each year the spectators' balcony is filled to overflowing by parents and friends who come to witness the spectacle. It is, too, one of those events one likes to come back to, sometime, somehow, to meet the old gang. As surely as- spring comes back, the old grads' footsteps trend to turn back toward Chris- man-back to another Pi. O. T. C. Military Ball. E lOl Some of the familiar couples seen at this year's Inter-society Dance were: Dorothy Barnby and Bob Fry, Peggy Bryan and Dick Chiles, Yvonne Tuckfield and Gene Pope, Patricia Allen and Big Boy Franklin, Elizabeth Shrout and Durwood Pain, Martha lean Lefman and Elmer Kuhn, Shirley McFarlane and Malcolm Pittman. Outstanding in this group of dancers are: Dale Howell and Dolores Adams, Charles Bund- schu and Betty Cambers, Ruth Land and Bob Lund, Walter Allison and Peggy Pickrell, Don Utsler and Margery Thiel, Bob lohnson and Helen Hinde, Garrett Carpenter and Mary Green, Bob Lindsey and Frances Hartman. Mixer B Maya Intersociety Dance One of the outstanding social events of the year is the collaboration of the three literary societies for a dance which is given in the boys' gymnasium. Committees from the As-You-Like-lt, the Nautilus, and the Shakespearean Liter- ary Societies met and planned this gala occurrence. Stag bids were- not given this year. At eight o'clock on April 10, 1942, the girls and their dates assembled at the high school prepared for an evening of gayety and fun. The program was well-planned and highly entertaining. Red Rose and his orchestra provided the musical numbers, however, part of Chrisman's students furnished talent. Irene Boot played her accordian, and Patsy Io Garman and Betty Ann Turner presented individual song numbers. The Chrismanettes, that well-known trio consisting of Betty Hatch, Marilyn Miller, and Mildred Crabb, sang popular numbers much to the delight of the crowd. ' During the half hour intermission, refreshments of delicious cookies and punch were served. After the strains' of the last waltz had died, the students departed-a tired, happy group, and the Inter-Society Dance of 1942 has gone down in history as proof of another successful social venture of the societies. Friday-the day of days at Chrisman. During all the school year each student looks forward to the happy event of the mixer each week. When classes close on Friday, the boys' gym becomes the scene of fun and frolic. The W. P. A. Orchestra gets in the mood and all the dancers fall to. Miss Chrisman puts a flower in her hair and the Chrisman Bears are properly appreciative. New acquaintances are made and new steps are tried land sometimes even accomplishedl. The Pep Club leads out in the La Conga- laughter and rhythmLand the drummer solos! The spirit of fun is in the air and everyone thoroughly enjoys himself. The Chrisman students appreciate the effort made by the faculty to bring to them the pleasure and entertainment of the mixers. y We want to extend to Mrs. Schroeder, chairman of the mixer committee, our genuine thanks for her work and effort' in our behalf. Because of the National Defense Program We are unable to secure the music of the W. P. A. orchestra for future mixers. In recognition of their con- tribution to Chrisman spirit, we salute them. We hope that the custom of holding Friday mixers will never be discontinued. 103 Spam 104 Social Hour For the past few years Chrisrnan has held student mixers each Friday afternoon from three forty-five until five o'clock. Prior to this year, the study hall was used for gameslduring this same period. Tables Were cleared and games, such as dominoes, darts, and checkers were planned tor those who did not care to dance. But during the 1941-42 term that part of the mixer en- tertainment has been eliminated. ' . Special mixers were arranged in the girls' gym. These were held each afternoon after' school Monday through Friday for the Week preceding the R. O. T. C. Ball. At these f'practice mixers a victrola replaced the orchestra, but the fun was just as genuine. At certain times during each mixer Sergeant Dean stopped the dancing with a Whistle. He and Miss Street lined the boys and girls upon opposite sides of the gym. ln this manner new partners were chosen. These special mixers proved to be a source of a great deal of fun and fellowship and led to many a date for the Hop. Because many Chrisman students brought lunches, noon mixers were held for a short time. These did not prove successful and were discontinued. a. Sa. Pawn Iunior-Senior Reception The annual Iunior-Senior Prom, the traditional farewell reception for the seniors given by the juniors, was held May 8 this year. - The entertainment was in the form of dancing in the boys' gym while games of ping pong and cards were played in the study hall. Laid in an Hawaiian setting of coconut palms, bamboos, and artificial flowers under a ceiling of brown and green, the entertainment had the exotic flavor of the South Sea Islands while the dance music of George Miller and his orchestra furnished a romantic background. Later in the evening, refreshments of ice cream, cake, and punch were served both in the gym and in the study hall. Several committees worked very diligently with Miss Cravens, chairman of the committee of junion home-room teachers, in planning the reception this spring, and these may feel justly proud of its success. Serving on the enter- tainment committee were Herb Cannon, chairman, Ioanne Ellis, lane Ellen Iohnson, and Shirley Vardeman. Martha Campbell, chairman of the decora- tions committee, was assisted by Philip Clark, lean Rucker, and Heber Cannon. Chairmen of the other committees were: Bill Campbell, reception committee: Helen Hinde, refreshment cornrnitteep and Lora Weatherford, invitations committee.

His soft sweet notes kept ringing So clearly down the lane: My sad heart started singing, And I forgot the rain. Evelyn Preston, '43 Why- - Can children ask- ' Such-perplexing things? 'Cause-their elders do-perplexing Things. Patricia' Hunt, '42 ll2 AN APPLE TREE An apple tree in full bloom is a sight one loves to see. After the blossoms have fallen away and the fruit appears, First, green and later, a luscious red- It is then the apple tree fulfills its mission to man. I wish that my life could be likened unto an apple tree, First showing the use of living and the bless- ings of this world: And then, when my span of time has ended and my soul is homeward bound, My last prayer will be that the fruits ot my life will be helping others on through Times of doubt. Opal Shultz, '42 Fog lights Forming ribbons Myriad ribbons like Streams of gold, the wayside trav'ler To guide. Yvonne Tuckfield, '42 The snail Carries his house Upon his back, but man Ties his to an auto and rides Along. I. R. French, '42 MY TREES O, trees so bold against the sky In dawn's dim misty light, You weave a living tapestry Between the day and night. Chaste moon and candelabrum stars Etch patterns in the clouds Before the day's first golden bars Remove your silver shrouds. You tall and silent Cavaliers- My guardians gray and good, Bring peace unto a soul that fears The night's long solitude. How many otheryhearts have known, This century and more God's wisdom through your peace alone Tall sentinels of yore! O, holy trees of centuries past Patriarchs of long ago, Loose thy fettered tongues Teach us what you know.

This day has seen the wrath of man Lay pillage to his very soul, And in so doing betray his right To ever-lasting sanctitude. I ask but for the peace of mind That only sleep can bring me, In all this world of strife and pain Of death and desolation. O darkness, thou eternal night Sooth my troubled eyes with thy cool hand, And lead me to that sweet serenity That stops but for a moment, Then quietly passes on. Katherine Green, '42 My God On high, give me Strength to bear my burdens Of this trurbulent earth, worthy of Thy love.

My Lord, most gracious God on high, Help us find that kingdom of the sky- So when we with trying cares grown old, May see the precious light of Thy blest fold.

Norman Boyd, '42 GOD IN LIFE We all have eyes Oh yes--of course But do we use them? No! We do not see nature warm and sweet Her hot breath everywhere.

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: I The girl who sat in history class And the boy in study hall. In this volume are recorded Memories of joy and strife: Experiences I'll remember Arid cherish all my life. Edna Dyer, '42 4 ,U H ,ft L f ft 1,13 V41 Q.. Lfcfl-K--1.4-'U-me kj f --' -f' ef Lf 'v .
