His own pro- gressive ideas, 'and his close touch with the Missouri State Department of Education has been of untold value to this system. His keen understanding of youth, his willingness to help with wise council and Mr. Matthews- Mrs. Kearnes, Secy. advice, the firmness of his character and personality are ever an inspiration to all who come in contact with him. His sincere interest in the student establishes a bond that few administrators know. In the present national emergency Mr. Matthews is not satisfied for us to sit on the bank and watch the stream flow by. He urges us to get in the middle of the stream and help guide the current. The banks on either side of us, one called Yes- terday and the other Tomorrow, force us to prepare to act today. Mr. Matthews is the power behind us urging us to meet the chal- lenge of changing times and give our best to our country in her time of need. Then Mr. Matthews reminds us that after the struggle is ended, there comes the period of reconstructionn in which we must be pre- pared to play a part. In addition to training our minds to meet this crisis, Mr. Matthews has maintained the teaching of the finest of the fine arts-the art of living. His deep courage has been shown in his leadership. He has also shown us by his own life that not until we can master ourselves can we hope to live successfully in these bewilder- ing times. We salute our friend, Mr. W. E. Mat- thews. Mrs. Mildred Kearnes, Mr. Matthews' assistant, is ideally fitted for her position. She has a B. S. Degree in Education from the State Teachers' Normal in Pittsburg, Kansas, with special secretarial training. She has shown ability to make friends easily. Mr. W. E. Matthews, Superintendent ,lf A scene of busy activity is Mr. I. N. Hanthorn's office. He is the assistant super- intendent of schools now. Chrismanites who are seniors remember him when he was the principal of William Chrisman High School. During the seventeen years that Mr. Han- thorn was principal, Chrisman grew from an enrollment of six hundred to fourteen hun- dred. Many new courses such as R. O. T. C., commercial law, shop, and speech were added. Student government was instituted, and the student handbook was sponsored by Mr. Hanthorn. Mr. Hanthorn now performs the duties of assistant superintendent as faithfully and well as he did his work as principal of Chrisman. As assistant superintendent he renders many valuable services not only for the school system, but for the community as well. One of the duties on the list is the keeping of permanent records of every child, from the age of a few months to the age of twenty, who lives in the Independence school district. This includes the name of the child, the date of his birth, and his age at the time of enumeration. lt is important to keep an efficient record of these facts. Mr. Hanthorn also has charge of the N. Y. A. At his desk work for this district. When Mr. Matthews is absent, Mr. Hanthorn performs the duties of superintendent. Another important func- tion of this office is the granting of work permits for anyone under twenty years of age who works after school or on Saturdays. Many people need certificates of birth when they apply for work. The office of the as- sistant superintendent looks up the birth date of the individual's school card and makes a certification of birth. Mr. Hanthorn also has assisted with the issuing of ration- ing books: number two and gasoline. Mr. Hanthorn has compiled a detailed super- intendent's report on the Independence School System, which includes its finances, teachers, schools, and number of pupils in each school with other useful information. In addition to all these duties, Mr. Han- thorn conducts a class in phychology for student nurses from the Sanitarium. Mr. Hanthorn has spent many years in service for the community. - ln l936, Mr. Hanthorn was elected President of the Central Missouri District Teachers' Association. He was also presi- dent of Secondary School Administrators of the State of Missouri. He has studied at the State Teachers' College at Warrensburg, and the University of Missouri, he received his Master's Degree from Columbia Uni- versity, in New York City. Mr. l. N. Hanthorn, Assistant Superintendent ' Mr. Carl D. Gum, Principal Every organization must have ct leader. Our leader is the principal of this school, Mr. Carl Gum. His office is our headquar- ters. The work of the school and the or- ganizations in the school are centered around Mr. Gum and his office. Mr. Gum is well qualified for the mo- mentous task as principal of William Chris- man High School. He received a B. S. de- gree at Cape Girardeau Teachers' College where, after graduating, he was an in- structor in education for two summers. At the University of Missouri he was awarded an A. M. degree. ln advance of these de- grees, he did graduate work at the Uni- versity of Missouri and at the Teachers College of Columbia University in New York. 1 Mr. Gum's Office Mrs. De Shazo and Dorothy Gillum, Secretaries He taught science and mathematics, and coached football and basketball in high school for five years. He was principal of two high schools before coming here from Nevada, Missouri. ' Mr. Gum has introduced many new ideas and methods in aiding the school, the faculty, and the students. One can get ad- vice and friendly cooperation by going to Mr. Crum. ln March, l943, Mr. Gum attended the forty-eighth Annual Meeting of the North Central Association in Chicago. This year, he is a member of the state committee of the North Central Association, which consists of more thian three hundred colleges and more than three thousand high schools from twenty North Central States. Chrisman is a member of this Association. Mr. Gum handles all the government blanks that come in from the army and various defense plants asking for references. ln this work of writing recommendations he is ably assisted by Mrs. DeShazo. The principal's office is one of the busiest places in William Chrisman High School. It is an information bureau for stu- dents and teachers alike and often functions as an employment agency. The office takes care of the absentees, the telephone calls, personal letters, the daily bulletins, and most of the minor and major jobs necessary in running the school. The new office stenog- rapher, Miss Virginia Harris, is an efficient help in these tasks. Mr. Gum takes an active interest in the student council, helping it in many ways. He was heartily in favor of buying the jeeps through the students' purchase of bonds and stamps. W t ' 1 Miss Elizabeth Aiken World Problems Mrs. Ellyn 'Black Librarian Miss Ncznubel Cassell Speech - Dramatics Miss Elizabeth Aiken, although a new teacher in the Independence system, has soon won the friendship of both students and teachers with her pleasant personality. Her interesting classes in world history are much enjoyed by all her students. Because of an event which took place during the Christmas vacation,-we now have Mrs. Ellyn Black instead of Miss Ellyn Kram- per as our friendly efficient librarian, who is willing at all times to teach the youth who comes with inquiring mind, eager to know all possibilities the universe holds in store for him. During the past year the speech and dramatic department has flourished under the capable direction of Miss Nanabel Cas- sellf She is the sponsor of the recently or- ganized National Thespian Dramatic Honor Society in addition to her sponsorship of the National Forensic League and her work as one of the directors of the senior play. One of our most popular teachers, Miss Ianie Chiles, has made an important contri- bution to the war effort by teaching our students the different phases of mathematics which are so important to victory. She also hielped to make the senior play a success through her able directing. and the Gleam a success through her splendid handling of the finances. A favorite with all the girls, Miss Mar- garet Chiles, has made sewing an increas- inqly popular subject, as much through her own pleasing personality as through the course itself. She is a co-sponsor of the Home Economics Club, and it is through her efforts that Chrisman girls enjoy several fashion shows each year. lvl ,Q , 12 X I Miss Icmie Chiles Mathematics Miss Margaret Chiles Clothing ' A new teacher at Chrisman this year, Miss Ellis Clement, has quickly made her- self an important part of the faculty. In ad- dition to her class in physics, she is a co- sponsor of the Science Clubs of America and of the Radio Club. Well-liked both by his students and by those whom he has never had in class, Mr. Rex Conyers in his classes and in his spon- sorship of the 'Wildlife Conservation Club has endeavored to give Chrisman students a better knowledge and understanding of plant and animal life. As our relations with the'South Ameri- can countries and the study of Spanish is becoming more important, we are appreciat- ing the ability of our Spanish teacher, Mrs. Florence Cooke, the capable sponsor of the Spanish Club, who gives the Spanish stu- dents an intimate and personal knowledge of our Spanish speaking neighbors. A valuable member of our faculty is Sergeant Haskell C. Dean, who has been with Chrisman's R. O. T. C. since it was first established in 1935. lt was through his ef- forts that the R. O. T. C. band was organized and that many boys have been trained to be good riflemen. He has been a real friend to the many boys who have taken R. O. T. C. A better understanding of the economic conditions and relationships to each other of the countries of the world is gained by all her students in the interesting classes in eco- nomic geography, taught by Mrs. Duggan. She is also sponsor of the Social Activities Committee of the Student Council, which has been providing the mixers, much enjoyed by the student body. I Sergeant Dean R. O. T. C. V Mrs. Mary D1-IQQUH Economic Geography Miss Ellis Clement Science Mr. Rex Conyers Biology Mrs. Florence Cooke Spanish Mr. D. C. Elliott Physics Miss Bda Fallon Commerce Mrs. Rachel Field English After thirty-two years of efficient service on the Chrisman faculty, Mr. D. C. Elliott has gone into defense work to make his patriotic contribution to the national war effort. I-le leaves behind him the influence of his keen scientific mind, his conception of real values, and his teaching of courtesy and honesty. Miss Ada Fallon, who teaches secre- tarial practice course, stresses to her students not only the importance of skill in typing and sihorthandy but she also encourages various personality qualifications for a good secre- tary. Besides training efficient steno- graphers, Miss Fallon sponsors the Shakes- pearean Literary Society. Her pep and un- derstanding of girls have made her a favor- ite. ' Mrs. Rachel Field is the new instructor of sophomore English this year. As a mem- ber of the faculty of Central College at Fayette, Missouri, she taught English com- position and American literature. From her experience there as freshman advisor, Mrs. Field learned the importance of intimate, personal contact with the student. I From Olathe, Kansas, Chrisman wel- comes a new member to her faculty, Miss Verda F ilken, instructor in foods. With rationing and the necessary conservation of food, Miss Filken has stressed to her classes new ways of preparing old dishes and bal- ancing the diet. The collection of wild flowers and plants is her hobby. Mr. Ray French, in addition to his regu- lar classes in boys' gym and hygiene, has volunteered his time to teach the new gov- ernment physical education course. Among other activities, he has supervised the noon- hour basketball games and has secured speakers for junior-senior home-room pro- Grams. Miss Verda Filkin Foods Mr. Ray French Physical Education New on -our staff of social studies teachers is Miss Lucille Frisby from Bethany, Missouri, who teaches four classes in Amer- ican history and one in world problems. Her wide interests in sports and her ready smile are assurances that she will find many friends in Chrisman. ln her second year at Chrisman, Miss Lucille Hawes has become well-acquainted with Chrisman students through her sopho- more English classes and various outside activities. She has a keen appreciation of music, and her collection ot' miniature pen- guins is most unusual. This past summer she received her master's degree at the University of Southern California. With her extensive literary background and practical philosophy Miss Emina Hill has made American and English literature live before her students. Matter-of-fact and optimistic, she quotes her facorite poet, Robert Browning, who expresses her outlook on life: Why stay We on the earth unless to grow? Miss Hill's work on the Gleum has been invaluable. Coachof all Chrisman athletics and the physical ideal of the athletic-minded boy, Charles Huhn trains the Chrisman Bears. His presence on the sidelines of every game gives the support to our teams that spurs them on to victory. In the hygiene classes Mr. Huhn is known for his droll illustrations. Miss Frances Kreeger is back at Chris- man this year after a year's absence during which she taught at Iunior High. We hope that she likes us well enough to stay per- manently, for her friendliness and broad- minded attitude have won her many friends both in her classes and in extra-curricular activities.

He assists the principal, instructs in bioloqY, 1191195 handle school funds and teaches two classes in Algebra l, all in one day. He is energetic among students and helps with the financial section of many of our school ac- tivities. American and English Literature be- come real, living subjects for students in room 300. Miss Louise MacDonald, English teacher, not only helps the pupils in study- ing the textbook, but she encourages them in their own creative efforts. Miss MacDonald is also sponsor of the Honors and Awards Committee of the Student Council. - In the all-out war effort, Mr. Morris, teacher of mechanical drawing in room 106, is doing the community a real service. A knowledge of mechanical drawing is a great aid to boys who intend to enlist in the air corps or to design tools of peace after the war. Mr. Morrish in his agricultural classes gives both boys and girls a better know- ledge of the science of soil cultivation. ln this national emergency everyone needs a workable knowledge oi such facts. Mr. Morrish also renders a valuable service to the school by being sponsor of the advertis- ing staff of the Gleam. A ln Miss Thelma Myers's room, which is 205, the students are bent earnestly over desks, carefully drawing lines and figuring. This is the bookkeeping class, of course. Miss Myers is the teacher who encourages and aids them. ln addition to her class work, Miss Mye-rs is co-sponsor of the Chris- man Commercial Club. Mr. Ralph Morrish Agriculture Miss Thelma Meyers Commerce From the typing room, 3l3,, the busy roar of typewriters is heard all day. The first year pupils, learning the fundamentals of the skill, are taught by Miss Iessie Page. Miss Page is co-sponsor of the Commercial Club and has sponsored the Royal Typing Contest, supervising the noon tests. Many of those who are interested in English or journalism sign up for Miss Mabel Potter's courses. She and Shakespeare are old friends. The journalistic classes learn the real job of publishing the school paper, The Envoy, which Miss Potter sponsors. Miss Potter also sponsors the Chrisman chapter of the National Honor Society. Although art is an elective course, many pupils turn to Miss Sampson's classes for aid in expressing their ideas in drawing, cos- tume designing, basket Weaving, book mak- ing, and interor decorating. Miss Sampson sponsors the art staff of the Gleam, which renders an important service to Chrisman, the National Art Honor Society and the Art Club. Mrs. Asenath Schroeder is the vigorous American history teacher in room 301. She leads her pupils carefully through the color- ful scenery of America's past. She teaches them in a way that is interesting. ln ad- dition, Mrs. Schroeder is chairman of junior sponsors and chairman of the social sicience group of teachers. The sound of laughter that comes from Miss Berneta Sherman's sociology room tells better than Words that Miss Sherman makes sociology not only interesting, but fun. She brings sociology and American history to everyday terms. Miss Sherman is also the co-sponsor of the As-You-Like-lt Dramatic Club. , Mrs. Asenath Schroeder ' Social Studies Miss Berneia Sherman Social Studies Miss Iessie Page Commerce Miss Mabel Potter English Miss Nell E Samson Ar ,fv- Miss Ellen Singleton Latin Miss Iessie Smith Music Miss Anne Stewart Social Studies , . .

Until the journalism course was added to Chrisman's curriculum, Miss Singleton helped with the school Envoy, qiVi1'1q her CYS' sistance in reading and correcting articles which the stait had written and turned in. Miss Iessie Smith, music instructor, di- rects the chorus, the band, and the orchestra at Chrisman. She worked continuously and patiently with the students in preparing them tor the music Contest. At various assemblies and other occasions outside ot school, the music department has rendered service. Miss Smith also sponsors an annual oper- etta. Miss Anne Stewart teaches civics and history as well as finds time to sponsor the Student Council and to help Mr. Gum with tardy and absence slips. Because ot her understanding attitude and kind disposition she has been an excellent counselor to the students in organizing and carrying on the school government. Lieutenant Stocks is our new supervisor ot the R. O. T. C. unit at Chrisman. He is responsible for the whole administration. Before coming here he spent six months at Fort Leavenworth, then two months at the R. O. T. C. Headquarters in Kansas City. He is a favorite ot all the boys. Miss Betty Ann Street, a graduate ot Chrisman in '38, has completed her second year, accomplishing good results. She has sponsored the M Club, an athletic organ- ization ior girls, the all-school Pep Club, and also teaches First Aid along with physical education. She is a friend to all the girls. 1 Lieutenant Stocks R. O. T. C. Miss Betty Ann Street ' Physical Education 4 Mr. Walter Webb is a new comer to Chrisrnan this year, but not new in the ln- dependence School System. He has been an instructor at the Iunior High School for several years, teaching biology and man- ual training. At Chrisman he replaces Mr. W. H. Wininger in manual training. He hast made many friends among the students and faculty by his kindly ways and happy per- sonality. Miss Elizabeth Welborn is also new at Chrisman this year teaching world problems in our social science department. ln ad- dition, she helpecl direct the sophomore class play, Professor, How Could You? Her thorough knowledge of her subject en- ables her to show how art and literature are influenced by history. Her interest in her students has made her a favorite teacher in her field. Mrs. Mary Foster Williams is a teacher with many duties resting on her shoulders. Besides teaching junior English, she spon- sors the National Thespian Dramatic Society which was organized in Chrisman this year. She also finds time to help select and direct plays for other organizations in the school. Her interest in the one-act plays has made them a treat for all in the community. Miss Nora M. Witthar taught general science in Iunior High School for a number of years but was elected to the Chrisman faculty this year. In just one short year she has rapidly made a record for herself. She teaches chemistry, and all her pupils say She certainly knows her subject. She is undoubtedly an inspiration to all her stu- dents as a teacher and as a friend outside of class.

Forty-six years ago the Parent Teacher Association was established on 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 year the William Chrisman Parent Teacher Association is celebrating its twenty-fifth year of active work, having been organized in September of 1917 by Mrs. A. L. Yingling. lt was the first high school P. T. A. to be founded in the state of Missouri. The organization's five objectives are: C13 to promote the welfare of child and youth in the home, school, church, and com- munity: C27 to raise the standard of home life: C35 to secure adequate laws for the care and protection of the child and youth: C43 to bring into closer relationship the 'home and .the school, that the P. T. A. may cooperate intelligently in the training of the child: C59 to develop between the educators and the general public such united efforts as will se- cure the highest advantages in physical, mental, social, and spiritual education. The officers for the years 1942-1943 were: Mrs. Richard Givens, president, Mrs. Ralph Tuckfield, first vice-presidentp Mrs. A. P. Ursenbach, second vice-president: Mrs. I. R. Austin, recording secretaryp Mrs. 1-1. C. Hinde, historian: and Mr. Gregory Lefever, auditor. The annual Founder's Day Program was held on February 4 this year. A special poem was composed and given in memory of its founders. Each year the Parent Teacher Associa- tion sponsors the Senior Dance, held after the graduation exercises. lt is an annual event that is looked forward to by all stu- dents with great anticipation, and is es- pecially appreciated by the' seniors who realize that it will be their last school ac- tivity. Several all school mixers were spon- sored this year by the P. T. A. and were heartily enjoyed and appreciated by all who attenaed. . The Parent Teacher Association has taken care of all the war stamps and bond sales here at school. Each week on Thurs- day, students have been able to purchase as many stamps as they want, or even buy war bonds. All the stamps and bonds must be kept account of very accurately. This is a great deal of work, but the officers of the P. T. A. managed it very efficiently, and a report of the sales was sent each month to lefferson City, by Mrs. Givens. Each year the organization assists graduates, helping them in any way it can, and it also contributes to the Carolyn B. Ullman Student Loan Fund. lf we did not have the Parent Teacher system that we have, our school would not be rated as a first class high school in the state of Missouri. This is one of the most important standards that must be maintained by a first class high school, before it may receive this classification. ' The Parent Teacher Association has al- ways been of real service to the students, and they should appreciate all that it stands for and what it has done for them. A , Founders Day Program and Social Hour Mr. Hahn - Mr. Greer - Mr. Ritter - Mr. Watson Mr. Thompson One of the most important iobs at Wil- liam Chrisman is that of the custodians. They have the task ot keeping our school properly heated, cleaned, and in good or- der. As head of the statf of custodians ot the Independence School System, Mr. George Kreeger has had an exceptionally hard task this year, because of the shortage of labor and need for the conservation of iuelg how- ever, he has been able to secure enough help to keep our school very neat and also comfortably heated. A Z, Mr. C. R. Watson, who is rounding out his fourth year at William Chrisman, very efficiently takes care of the second floor' of the old building. In charge of the third floor and half oi the second floor in the new building is Mr. lohn Greer, who is a capable and depend- able worker. Replacing Mr. Ritter, who left this se- mester, Mr. Strohm cares for the third floor in the old building, and is also in charge of the south typing room and stencil room. Upon Mr. Thompson rests the biggest responsibility. His job is looking after the heating plant and making sure our class rooms are properly heated. He also takes care of the first floor in the old building. The first floor and half ot the second floor in the new building is looked after by Mr. lohn Haun. This is Mr. Haun's third year at Chrisman. ' W' e are exceedingly grateful to Mr. Kreeger, Mr. Watson, Mr. Greer, Mr. Strohm, and Mr. Thompson for the efficient way they keep our school. Students are aware of the increased duties of Chrisman's diminished custodian staff, and they have been re- minded that they can help in many ways to keep the building in order by remember- ing to throw all scrap paper in the waste baskets and by using the auditorium only when necessary. Our school would be a very dismal place if it were not tor the conscien- tious work of our cus- todians. yy . ,rw-1 K .

Each year it has operated with greater finesse and has lead the Chris- man bear on to greater achievements. The Student Council was founded in order to pro- mote closer relationship between the stu- dents and the faculty, to provide opportuni- ties for the students to become good citizens and leaders to serve as an advisory commit- tee to the students, and to improve school conditions by increasing school spirit and scholarship. The sponsors are Miss Stewart, Mrs. ,Williams, -Mr. Lefever, Miss MacDon- ald, Miss Singleton, and Mrs. Duggin. Dur- ing this past year, one of the outstanding ac- complishments of the Student Council has been the inauguration of a point system whereby a student's honor standing is deter- mined and awards are presented at the an- nual Honor Assembly. The Council has con- tributed to the war effort wholeheartedly by urging the students to buy war stamps so that a jeep might be purchased for the boys in service and by supervising an all-school scrap drive which met with much success. The student mixers, which were introduced so that the students 'could become better ac- quainted with one another, are sponsored by the social activities committee of the coun- cil. A revision, was made of the Student Council Constitution so that it might serve the students to a larger extent. Several pro- jects started the year before have been corn- pletedp these include the designing and pur- chasing of a school flag and installing of a victrola. , OFFICERS I Howard Bevins Lora Weatherford Robert Oliver l Mona Allen Student Council Session, First Semester The senior class chose their officers wisely.

Frank was also president of his sophomore class last year. Barbara Carroll, who was elected secretary, was the secretary of both her freshman and sophomore classes. This fact proves her ability. For the second semester the officers were: Bobby joe Dawson, who is outstand- ing in basketball and who made many points which aided Chrisman to victory, president: Richard Crawford, chosen vice- president, efficiently performed his dutiesg Pat Allen, secretary, who is very talented in art work and a member of the Natoinal Art Honor Society and the Gleam Art Staff, per- formed her duties in a very efficient manner. This year the class decided to combine the offices of secretary and treasurer. The office of reporter was abolished. Another new plan was initiated this year. Instead of having just two sponsors, as in former years, all teachers who have OFFICERS Freddie Logan Barbara Carroll Bob Dawson Pdf Allen junior home rooms sponsor the junior class with Mrs. Schroeder as the chairman of the group.

If this statement is true, then in View of the promising ability of many members of their class, the sophomores have much to look forward to in their next two years at Chrisman. ln choosing their leaders for the year, the sophomore class has shown wis- dom and integrity. The office of president is a responsible position and calls for good judgment as well as a sound knowledge of leadership. For the first semester, the student body chose Bill Brizendine as its president. Bill has had experience in leadership. As a member of the Chrisrnan debate team, he competed with juniors and seniors. For vice-president the class elected a capable assistant in Ken- neth Kirkam, who also served the student body as cheer leader. The vice-president does the numberless jobs that the president is unable to do. Then there is the important job of secretary. Ruth Cavanah filled this office very capably. For the officers of the second semester, the sophomore students elected LeRoy Weiss as president, Bill Brizendine as vice- president, and Kathleen Norris as secretary. LeRoy Weiss is well known for his good sportsmanship and in his duties, he revealed this important quality. Bill Brizendine was elected to hold a responsible position again as vice-president. Kathleen Norris, as sec- retary, was very efficient. omcnns Bill Brizendine Ruth Cavanah Lee Roy Weiss Kathleen Norris Under the leadership of these capable officers, the sophomore class has progressed and assumed a prominent part in the school life at Chrisman. , Sophomores Enjoying Life l , The history of the sophomore class is a fine background for a class that will do things. They were the first class to enter the new Iunior High School. Although they were green when they came to 'William Chrisman High School, now they have returned to normal and have entered the school lite as hard Working students. V Many sophomores entered the Envoy Short Story Contest, and out of the three Winners, two were sophomores. Paul Nagel Won first prize and loan Payton, third prize. Many have sub- mitted poems for the GLEAM and the High School Poetry Book.

Some outstanding members are Hugh Rush, Don Hanley, Bill Brizendine, Byron Stewart, and Paul Nagel. Paul Nagel has Won his letter, and the others are Working for theirs. These boys also belong to the debate team which Went to Std Louis this spring to enter a tournament there. ln the future William Chrisman High School will be in good hands with leaders such as the sophomore class offers.

Requirements for this siociety are uniform in the chapters all over the world. The student must have a character which is above reproach. He must be a leader in both school and in extracuricular activities. He must have served his school in every way he could. Also, the student must rank in the upper one-third of his class. The National Honor Society was char- tered at William Chrisman in l924. Miss Mabel Potter, organizer of the society, has done an excellent job of sponsoring this chapter. There were only fifteen charter members. Now fifteen per cent of the stu- dents are members of this organization. Each year the most outstanding pupils are chosen from the junior class so that there will be someone to carry on the ideals and functions of the society the following year. , im' , fjfyx, ' .. .

Several new courses have been added to the curriculum this year. Salesmanship is taught by Mrs. Randall. This is a particularly good subject for students who are planning to work after they have graduated from high school. This course helps them greatly in getting a good job. Aeronautics is taught by Miss Clem- ent. This course is especially helpful to the boys who are planning to make aeronautics their career. This subject gives them a good background tor their future study. Another new course in Chrisrnan is secretarial practice which is taught by Miss Fallon. A combination of short- hand and typing, the course is open to students who have had one year in Biology 216 each of these subjects. It helps the pupils to know some of the problems that will con- front them when they get into the business World. When they have finished this course, they are well prepared to become secretaries and stenographers.

The students of Chrisman High School are quite fortunate to have such a large number of courses offered to them. They are of such variety that there should be a subject to fit each pupil's particular interests.

Consequently, not only interested and willing students, but the most dependable, accurate, and industrious students may serve as art editors. Their work begins at the close of the school year. While others are having vaca- tion, these art workers must plan and work out ideas for layouts for the dummy so that actual work may begin early inthe fall. Four girls, who ranked highest in last year's contest, volunteered for art editorial work. They were Dolores Adams, Polly- anna Bolinger, Patricia Connor, and Evelyn Sudbrock. Each was assigned one-fourth of the book. The-se four editors had many as- sistants who gave much needed help. The big rush came when all students, seniors, juniors, and sophomores, had their individual pictures taken in the back room of the art department. Charts and records is are . X 'sf m.w .,, .5 ,. W were made and a definite program oi pro- cedure followed for two weeks. The next month pictures ot organizations, athletics, R. O. T. C., and class-room views were made. By this time individual' prints were re- ceived in class lots. The work of checking, trimming to proper size, and alphabetizing the sophomore prints was begun and com- pleted by pasting in panel arangements for the engraver. Similar work followed for the junior and senior classes. All class panels and group pictures were sent to the engraver before the holi- days 'so as to secure the thirty per cent discount. In january art editors prepared the pen etchings of little bears which occur through- out the book. These were finished hurriedly as proofs of the pictures were coming in rapidly irom the engraver, and work on the two dummies began in earnest. Much of this had to be done after school and eve- nings. Many adjustments had to be made in the dummy due to war conditions. ln March the dummy was at last ready, one copy for the literary stait, the other for the printer, who, in turn, claimed the atten- tion' ot the art editors in deciding color, ad- justments of type and layouts. Cur art editor must keep in touch with the progress of the book at the printer's until it goes to the bindery. Then the business manager takes over as the new books arrive at Chrisman. The literary staff of The Gleam is com- posed of a select group of students who, having maintained an average of S or above in English and proved their ability to write well, havelvolunteered their services for the publication of the school annual. It is their task to write all the copy of The Gleam. When the book has been designed and laid out by the art staff, the work of the literary staff begins. First, the space on the dummy must be carefully measured by the literary editors. During the period of prepar- ing the copy for The Gleam, the staff meets weekly on Tuesdays. The general assign- ment given to the entire staff at its first meet- ing is to write a foreword and a dedication. The winning articles in the competition are published in the new yearbook. Each mem- ber of the staff also receives several indi- vidual assignments which he must write within a limited length of time. A high literary standard has been tra- ditionally observed by those who write our yearbook encouraged by their able sponsor, Miss Hill. The new annual must be different not only in the nature of its material but in the treatment of its material. As the person- ality and trends of the school change each year, so The Gleam must change from year to year in reflecting Chrisman's personality and theme. ln writing each assignment, the staff member strives for a smooth, literary style and the ability to express himself con- cisely and in a limited number of words. After all articles are written the work of the staff members is completed. It is then the duty of the co-literary editors to work with the sponsor in proof-reading and revis- ing the articles. Often it is necessary to shrink or expand the Written material in or- der that the length of the copy and the space in the dummy correspond exactly. When all copy has been checked and approved, a finished product, it is ready to be typed. Several members on the staff this year in ad- dition to writing their regular assignments gave much of their time to extra typing. The literary staff together with their sponsor and co-literary editors, Helen Hinde and Betty Mallett have endeavored to repro- duce a year of school life in a vivid and in- teresting manner through the written pages of The Gleam. ,X . 1 '- if .7 , , 1 f l xl: J .f ,- .A Y ' , ,fff .

A great amount of Work and effort on the part of the students participating is. required to make this branch of the Gleam worka success. This year, Mr. Morrish, the new agricul- ture teacher, has done an excellent job as sponsor of the advertising staff. The busi- ness managers are: Virginia Lee Cassell, David Chiles, and Kenneth Knight. Other members of the staff are: Ruth Land, lane Ellen Iohnson, Meta Sudbrock, Roberta Den- ham, Nona Sharp, Iohnt Overman, Venita Parvin, Myron Thomason, George Gregg, and Madeline Mavel. These people are assigned various busi- nesses to solicit and sell advertising. A courteous, Well informed representative nearly always gets the advertisement. They keep account of large amounts of money which is turned over to Miss Chiles, financial sponsor. Advertising Staff Typing Staff y- ,.- - ww..-, . K ' This is the second year that journalism has been offered in William Chrisman's cur- riculum. Through the journalism classes of second year students, the Envoy is pub- lished and distributed to each subscriber of the student body. Each six Weeks a new editor is elected as well as art editors for first, second, third, and fourth pages. In this way many dif- ferent ideas are brought out in every other edition, thus providing new and varied material for the students. A day was set aside so that the students might leave school during journalism class in order to collect their ads, a necessary part in any paper. They Were graded on doing this the same as on other assignments. Until last year the Envoy staff was com- posed of any member of the student body, sophomore, junior, or senior who was willing to devote several afternoons after school to write and re-Write articles and, then type them, make a dummy of the paper, and col- lect ads. The staff is grateful to Miss Potter for her wise judgment and constant inspiration. EJ K, X -,,Y.

Each year boys have gained skill and know- ledge through the training which they have received in practicing on the Rifle Team. This practice helps the boys greatly in their marksmanship and is valuable to them in later life. Under Sergeant Dean's efficient direc- tion many fine rifle teams have been turned out. This year's team has been successful, in spite of many disadvantages. The loss of several of its good men during the year, each of whom had to be replaced, caused considerable confusion. b The team practices on the firing range every noon hour and every afternoon after school. This year Marvin Logan holds the highest average firing rate on the team. Be- cause of the extended Chrisman vacation and other draw-backs, the team did not enter into any rifle marksmanship contests with other schools. With the fine cooperation and the con- scientious help of Sergeant Dean, the mem- bers of this year's team feel that they have accomplished a great deal, and have main- tained the standards set by the teams of previous years.

Only one of the home games was won, one was a tie, and the remaining four were defeats witnessed by the home fansf The Northeast vs. William Ohrisman game, traditionally the first game of the sea- son, andvalso the game with the most rivalry attached to it, was lost this year for the first time in many seasons. ln the 1941-1942 game with the Northeast Vikings, the Bears were held. to a scoreless tie, so this season the game had more importance than ever before. The final score was 14 to 7. On October 2, the Ohrisman Bears went to Haskell to play the Haskell Indians. There, Chrisman got its first taste of victory for the season. The game was played under a handicap since very few Ohrismanites could go to see the game. However, the final score was 12 to 19 in favor of William Chris- man. October 9, found the Bears battling with the Odessa Bulldogs. The game was here at the Athletic Field, with a Maximum num- ber of spectators. It was a tough game, but again, the Bears emerged victorious with a final score of 6 to 13. 1 The North Kansas City game, October 16, was the other tie. Both teams were in good condition, arid the game was one of the thrillers of the season. Many of the stu- dents attended the game and all thought it one of the best ever seen. The final score was 7 to 7. St. loseph was a iinx 'to the Bears this year. Chrisman lost all three of the games that were played with St. loseph teams. St. Ioseph Benton was the first of the St. Ioe teams to defeat the Bears. It seemed that the Bears just couldn't play their best against Benton. The final score of this game was Benton 13, Chrisman 7. The game was played here. .1 -cl . .,.,. iw i4--M .

The game, however, was brilliantly played: and under the same circumstances, at another time, the Bears might have easily won. St. loseph Central, also, defeated Chris- man. The game was played here. Chris- man, played under a handicap, made a nice appearance. Several of our players were not able to play because of injuries during the season. The final score for the game was Chrisman 9, Central l3. The team was very ably handled by Coach Huhn. The captains were Bob Lin- say and lack Stillwell.

Many of the Bears' defeats, however, can be accredited to the superior standing of the opposing teams. ' The Bears got off to a good start this season, by defeating their first opponents, Kansas City Central, by a score of 32 to 28 The Bears then Went to Northeast and defeated the Vikings by a score of 24 to 18. The next game was played with East High School on their own court. Here Chris- man tasted defeat for the first time this sea- son. The score-22 to 28.

A large number of boys going out for track, natu- rally, gives Chrisman a better chance in more fields at the track meets. Since the government has put a special stress on physical education, and the whole nation is becoming health conscious, it is no wonder that more boys want the exercise and train- ing that running and jumping gives them. . The Chrisman track team was excep- tionally good this' year. Six letter men from last-year returned to carry again the Blue and Gold on to greater achievements than ever before. , The Chrisman Bears were at least par- tially successful in all their meets this year, winning quite regularly in nearly all fields. Chrisman had many meets this year that were not on her schedule several years ago. r When the Bears played the Kansas City schools, they were in good form. and won,a great many of the events in which Chrisman boys were entered. Some of the outstanding boys in track this year were: Charles Brewer, 440, Bul- lock, discus, Chandler, sprints, relay, Cole- man, 880, Crandall, high jump, Crowl, 440, L.

Fields Runner Dickinson Discus Thrower A I 74 During the past few years at William Chrisman High School, the individual has been given more importance than ever be- fore. This can be seen in the Chrisman sports that are becoming more popular. Golf is one of the individual sports that is becoming prominent at William Chris- rnan. lt has been only in recent years that golf made its appearance into the sports world of Chrisrnan. Since the first school golf tournament, the sport has risen in im- portance until now it is one of the popular sports enjoyed by Chrisman situdents. The 1942 golf tournament was held at the Stayton Meadows Cfolf Course during September. The contestants were mostly boys who had gone out in golf before. The number of contestants is rather small event yet, due to the fact that this sport must be learned entirely outside of school. The contestants were eliminated to two players: they were Melvin Coleman and Kenneth Swenson. Both of these' boys were exceptionally good' and deserved their honors. 'A T' -- Tennis, also, is becoming a favorite sport at William Chrisman. It has grown in popularity from a little duel between two students on Saturday morning until now, the tournament is run as a full scale contest of merit. Students of William Chrisman from all walks of life find -something incommon in tennis. This activity is doing much to break down the social circles that are to be found no matter where you go, The general opinion of students who are contestants in the tennis tournament is that N l ,Y---l fi '-.

The boys have many types of athletics which they cover during the year. These are aerial darts, table tennis, volley ball, basketball, mat Work, which includes gym- nastics, Wrestling, and boxing, the gym let- ter test, the new Commando test, and all track activities. ln these sports they learn 'CTN TEE, 1 4' is-8 Eff if' X5-.1 ' fl, .

Any boy in Chrisrnan may compete in the Com- mando test. To become a member, the boys must first pass six tests, later they are re- quired to pass six more different tests, out of a possible fifteen. . L Will the Ball Make the Basket? t A X. t tx-.111- vw-Lat Girls' gym ranks as one of the best- liked courses ,in our curriculum here at Chrisman. It not only serves as a period for relaxation, but it teaches the girls many different types of sports. Along with these advantages, gym develops specific person- ality traits. Reliability for duties that must be done, meeting the loss of a game with optimism, toleration of the remarks and ac- tions of others, unselfishness of leadership, initiative for advancement, appearance and cleanliness of individual, friendship with fel- low classmates, and sincerity in the outlook of the student are only a few of the perma- nent qualities brought about by physical education. The three major sports which the girls participate in throughout their semester of gym are baseball, which is played at the campus, volleyball, and basketball, which is perhaps the best loved game of all. The classes participate in intermural contests in each of these various sports. The winner of class tournaments plays the Club, and the winning team is entitled to a C letter for each of its members. Women of America must be strong physically and mentally in order to meet the present' crisis adequately. Calisthenics, therefore, has become a daily occurrence in the lesson plans for physical education students. The first few days bring on aches and pains, but later the girls look forward to the gym with much pleasure. Marching also has won its place in the daily lesson plans. Teaching the girls to obey com- mands not only teaches alertness but co- operation with one another. Though taken only one semester for each of two years at Chrisman, girls' gym is enjoyed by all who enter the class sin- cerely and wholeheartedly. Students are beginning to realize what a vital part this subject plays in present times. Many re- sponsibilities are placed on the young women of today, and through proper guid- ance and training they will be able to ful- fill the tasks efficiently. 4 , 'ix ,I V -1 , nf, I ,4 - A ,f l A ff !f'! .iq J!

Q1-mm .-mme -n-vxqgfimre Chrisman's Pep Club was reorganized this past fall. ln other years it has been for senior girls entirely, new members being elected, but this year it was unanimously decided that the Pep Club should be an all school organization admitting boys as well as girls and under classmen the same as seniors. The purpose of the club is to arouse school spirit and to keep all activities over- flowing with pep and enthusiasm. The executive board was composed of six school cheer leaders: lane Ellen Iohnson, Allene Burgess, Heber Cannon, Kenneth, Kirkham, Ioanne Ellis, and Pattie Campbell. These' cheer leaders were among many who tried out in an assembly for judgment by the stu- dent body. ln past years the club elected officers such as president, vice-president, etc. The club sponsored a Sadie Hawkins dance after one of our last football games to which the opposing team was invited. Our cheer leaders led yells in nearly every as- sembly, thus pepping them up quite a bit. Also members of the club participated in skits for assemblies to advertise games. Many new yells were written and in amazingly short time the student body had them down pat. At several different games the Pep Club gave various drills dur- ing the half. These drills were practiced by members of the club at different times on the athletic field or in the girls' gym before be- ing performed at -the game. A A fee of S200 entitled each of the N203 members to a letter C with 'pep on' it, a blue megaphone with C on the front of it, 1 ' and a gold topper.

However, their dues of S200 entitled them to tmember- ship in the club during the rest of their time at Chrisman. ,V Because the Pep Club takes int any member ot' the student body willing to at- tend all meetings, to learn the yells, and to participate regularly in pepping up the games and other school activities, we find many outstanding students in the club. lane Ellen lohnson was our sponsor-colonel this spring, Ioanne Ellis,had the lead in 'VVhat a Life, Heber Cannon, the masculine lead in Headed for Eden, Shirley Varde- man, the lead in Sailor Maids, Virginia Weddle won her super M, Patricia Con- nor won a first place in the National Scho- lastic Art Exhibit as did Mary Green, Bob Oliver was student body president second semester, Lora Weatherford, student body secretary, and Mona Allen succeeded her in office. These are only a few- who have been outstanding. ' . T' ' S' The club wishes to express its apprecia- tion to Miss Betty Ann Street, our-'club spon- sor of 42-43, for her faithful sponsorship.

A A Catch lit, xl-lelen t 79 2 fa ' The Club ot William Chrisman was organized in the year l925 with two main purposes: to create a greater enthusiasm for many types ot sports and to promote better sportsmanship. To become eligible for the letter and the club initiation which entitles a girl to full membership, one must tirst achieve 1000 points as Well as passing the other re- quirements, such as good health, good pos- ture, scholarship, sponsorship, athletics, service, student activities, and retraining from smoking or indulging in intoxicating liquors. After becoming a member ot the M Club almost every girl sets her goal tor achieving a super M, the highest honor given in girls' athletics. To obtain a super M the student must Win, once again, her 1000 points, plus 500 additional points in which siwimming is required. The only girl to Win a super M this year, was Virginia Weddle. During the past year the M Club has done much in the line ot sports. A tennis tournament was held of which Barbara Barto was the Winner. The club members enjoyed many bowling and theatre parties. The M Club played three games each semester With' the Winning classes of the intermural Games. The sports played Were: baseball, volleyball, and basketball. For many years the M Club has been victorious in all its games.

Since that time the girls have felt that they have helped to fulfill the purpose of the society by promot- ing school spirit and service, and encourag- ing literary and social accomplishments. The purpose is to promote the mental, moral, and social interest of its members and to afford them opportunity for Work in literature, oratory, declamation, debate, and music. ' Special events for this year included the Nautilus dance which was held at the Terrance Grill in Kansas City, the Mothers' Tea-April 28th, 'a roller skating party at the Pla-Mor, and the Inter-Society Dance heldin the boys' gym, April Qth. The farewell ban- quet for the senior members in the spring climaxed the year's activities. ln April, the annual Nautilus Literary contest Was held, and poems were read by their authors at the Mothers' Tea. The loyalty and leadership of the sponsor, Miss Lucille Hawes, and the of- ficers of the year have given us great help, to them much of the success of the society is due.

One play, a comedy called Calling All Cars, was directed by Heber Cannon. The characters were: Mona Allen, Patricia Brown, Ruth Harper, Shirley Myers, Hugh Bush, Byron Stewart, and Heber Cannon. The other play was Luncheon for Six, also a -comedy, directed by Patricia Allen. The cast consisted of the following char- acters: Clara Wayne Hendrickson, Patricia Gabriel, Iackie Feldhahn, lack Wolfe, Ed- ward Mathews, and Bill Brizendine. All boys, taking part in an As-You-Like-lt pro- i I Organized in 1932, the Art Club has continued to carry on its two-fold purpose: to- improve and develop art students, and to encourage them to render art service wher- ever needed, particularly to our school. Membership is open to any interested stu- dent. ' The club has enjoyed and profited by the lectures and talks that have been given this year. One of unusual interest was given by Tane Mae lnouye concerning art of the Hawaiian Islands. She displayed many useful and decorative articles which she had brought from the islands. Interesting field trips to the Nelson Art Gallery were enjoyed by some members, and the entire club attended the Scholastic Regional Exhibit at Emery, Bird, Thayer. Thirty-seven high schools participated. Chrisman was well represented. Fourteen of our students won awards. These honored pieces were sent to the national contest at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Art service rendered this year has covered a broader field than usual. Posters and program covers were made for school events and also for community war efforts. Some students took part in the poster contest sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce for a War Savings Campaign. Much interest has been given also to Red Cross work. ' gram were made honorary members in the dramatic club. These six boys are now As- You-Like-lt members. Also, a program was planned for the soldiers at the U. S. O. Center in Kansas City, containing several miscellaneous numbers and a short play. Mary Green was hostess to the Christ- mas Tea for the club. Other activities of the club were: The Mothers' Tea held in the spring and the Inter-Society Dance in April. The year was climaxed effectively by the traditional senior banquet. Many of the club members have at- tained high honors and distinctions, proving their scholastic standards and capability. Efzxxtgl ti lk X. L ntl. For Thanksgiving six hundred menu covers and one hundred tray covers were made. Chrismans gift boxes were filled, and menu covers for St. Patrick's Day and for Easter were made. The organization of the Chrisman Chap- ter of the National Art Honor Society was promoted by the Art Club which continues to sponsor the chapter.

The club was sponsored by Miss Thelma Myers and Miss Iessie Page. The following officers have done their jobs Well and maintained the standards of the club. They are as follows for the first semester: Lora Weatherford, presidentp Ruth Harper, vice-president: Verlyn Reese, secretary: Kathryn lagger, treasurer. ' The second semester offices were held by: Verlyn Reese, president: Pattie Hobart, vice-president: Dorothy Houchens, secretary: and Elda Ross, treasurer. Among the speakers heard by the club this year were: Mr. Frank Rucker from -the office of the Independence Examiner, Miss Marguerite Kuna from the Hall Brothers Greeting Card Company in Kansas City. Mrs. Murdock and several other members of the Steno-Type School gave a demonstra- tion of the Steno-Type Machine. , Stenographic-. work and bookkeeping have become very important in this national crisis. Many boys and girls will leave high school this spring and step into well-paying positions, thus relieving specially skilled workers to fill their essential positions. The Commercial Club offers a pin to each first year shorthand student who passes the official test of eighty words a min- ute and to each second year student who has passed his l20 word-official test. A pin is also given in typing to those of first year who pass forty or fifty words per minute for fifteen minutes. The second year typists must pass sixty or seventy words with ninety-five per cent accuracy before they re- ceive a pin. Two new courses, introduced into Chrisman this year, are general business and salesmanship. The general business course is taken principally ,by sophomore students. Salesmanship gives the student a better knowledge of the technique of selling. The Commercial Department presented a program for assembly in November, con- sisting of a play and a novelty number by Pat lones. The play was Diogenes Looks for a Secretary, directed by Pat Garman. The characters were: lune Dean, Iohn Wolfe, Elizabeth Yale, Mercedees Stetter, George Cook, Kathryn lagger, Allene Bur- gess, and Patricia Allen. trawl l- l it-'?V1Y'ftt .vlglif lk itil-1 Mgt,-55. 1 I-JG :H'f'f5. -Wt. f 3:1 an I if swf- ,lyl lfwli ti l'J,'tQl-I alfsrf ,Hi '1 I 1 -Q J' , x'-,,- '4-P -iz The Spanish Club at William Chrisman was founded in 1920 for the purpose of pro- moting an interest in the study and use of Spanish beyond that which is possible in the classroom. The officers for this year are Ioanne Ellis, president, Patricia Hobart, vice-presi- dent and chairman of the program commit- tee: and Mona Allen, secretary-treasurer. The Spanish Club meetings are well at- tended. Several guest speakers, who have lived in Spanish speaking countries, have spoken before the club to explain the life of these neighboring countries and their im- portance in this era of Latin-America politi- cal and trade unity. The first meeting of the year is a get acquainted meeting for former members of the club and students who are taking Span- ish for the first time. At Christmas, the students learn Spanish Christmas carols and sing at the homes of members of the organ- ization and members of the school system. This year, Mrs. Iohn Vineyard who has lived in Peru for a number of years presented a very interesting program on the customs of the country. ln addition, she brought a number of Peruvian articles to display. Reverend Milton Hill, of the Watson Mem- orial Methodist Church, talked to the mem- bers on the life and, customs of Mexico.

The Spanish Club has been more inter- esting this year than usual because high school students are intensely interested in the trade, social, and political relationships between the United States and the Spanish speaking countries ot the Western Hemi- sphere. The leaders of our American way oi lite know that our future economic security is dependent on the way we work out our problems in conjunction with those of our Latin-American neighbors. The government has encouraged the study oi Spanish by ot- iering exchange scholarships with Mexico, Central America, and South America. Mem- bers were interested in the fact that Mrs. Roosevelt is now taking Spanish? C' is I The Wildlife Conservation Club spon- sored by Mr. Conyers takes as members, boys who show their willingness to render services whenever possible, to meet the local need for conserving and increasing our plants and animals. The members pledge themselves to these aims: To establish and maintain a sanctuary for all kinds of local wildlife: and to stimulate public interest and concern for the conservation of our natural resources. The Club has acquired, with the help of the State Conservation Commission, and co-operation of the property owners, 206 acre area of land in the Dickinson's Lakes region. Improvement and management of this land for the benefit of wildlife is the basis of the club outdoor activities.

Its purpose is to further the scientific knowledge of high school stu- dents. Miss Clement and Miss Witthar were elected to be co-sponsors of the club. Regular meetings are held on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month with discussion of scientific subjects. The main subjects of discussion being radio, radio control, psychology, chemistry, micro- scopic discoveries, and other microscopic work. Q There are about twenty members in the Science Clubs. Ellis Thatcher was elected president, Bert Landfried, vice-president, and Virginia Lee Cassell, secretary. Westinghouse offered a number of scholarships to seniors in high school inter- ested in scientific work. The Science Clubs of America conducted this contest.

After this work was completed, forty out of the United States were chosen to go to Washing- ton, D. C.: and there the scholarships were awarded to those whom the judges thought were worthy of them. A twenty-four hun- dred scholarship was given to a boy and to a girlp various other scholarships of less value were awarded. There were over fifteen- hundred who entered the contest.

A great deal of the school's electri- cal equipment has been adequately cared for by the club, and one of the latest projects of several members was to rebuild com- pletely an old radio-phonograph combina- tion which had been useless around the school for some time. Indeed, this year the whole purpose of the club has had a radical change, for since almost all of the present members have been in the club before and are more ad- vanced in radio, the trend has been for each one to work more individually and to ex- periment in any particular phase of the subject he might choose.

Various members were elected and held certain offices in the club, however. Lloyd Hendrix was chosen president for the first semester, and Ellis Thatcher was chosen the Second semester. Burton Barwise filled the position of vice-president. Lloyd Hendrix served as secretary-treasurer during the second semester.

The society was founded in the spring of 1929, at Fairmount State Teachers College, Fairmount, West Virginia. Today there are over five hundred chapters throughout the United States. The organization is non-secret and non- social. Any William Chrisman student, after meeting the specified requirements, may become a member.. Student member- ship requirements are culminative from year to year. Besides major and minor roles in plays, efficient staff Work, such as student director, stage manager, and electrician, is credited toward membership. The aim of this organization is: To create a spirit of active intelligent interest in dramatics among students of our secondary schools. More specifically, the troupe en- courages students to attain a better mastery fe T .mi x 'ia 1 - , -f kgs of language, to develop poise and self-con- trol, and to appreciate dramatic literature and its technique. The Thespian pledge requires a student CD to be loyal to all school and community dramatic productions: f2l to learn his lines promptly: 437 to rehearse diligently: C45 to per- form every task assigned cheerfully in the interest of dramaticsg and C57 to keep always as his motto, Act Well your party there all honor lies. The Thespians will sponsor the annual One-Act Play Contest to be held, May 6 and 7, in which six different one-act plays Will be presented by six different casts. The charter members are Howard Bevins, loanne Ellis, Kenneth Knight, Iohn Pritchard, Helen Hinde, Heber Cannon, Shirley Vardeman, Iohn Russell, Ruth Har- per, Mercedees Stetter, Hillman Dickinson, Venna Stevens, Cleo Clare Cudworth, Everett Stone, Iesse Foster, Floyd Thomas, Harvey McBroome, and Iohn Wolfe. The officers are: 3lTresident, loanne El- lis, Vice-President, Helen Hinde, and Secre- tary, Cleo Clare Cudworth. ' Mrs. Mary Foster Williams and Miss Nanabel Cassell are the local sponsors.

The proposition for debate this year was: Resolved, that a Federal World Gov- ernment Should be Established. Although the Misisouri Debating High School League was discontinued for the du- ration, Chrisman debaters participated in four tournaments. At Springfield and Kansas City, Kan- sas, in competition with twenty schools, from Missouri, Oklahoma, and Kansas, Rus- sell, Dickinson, Bevins, Foster tied for third place. At Missouri Valley College, Bevins, Foster, Matthews, and Hartigan, came through six rounds undefeated, thereby giving the Chrisman team first place in tourney. On April 16 and 1-7, at the State N. F. L. Meets, lennings, St. Louis County, Bevins and Foster, who have engaged in more than seventy-five inter-scholastic de- bates together, will enter their last forensic tournament. Hartigan and Matthews will be their junior team members. 'During the season, Chrisman debaters have staged demonstration debates before the Rotary and Civic Clubs, the American Association of University Women, sopho- more assembly, history and American Gov- ernment classes, and Independence church groups. Chrisman lost four of her debaters at the end of first semester to neighboring colleges: Hillman Dickinson, Kansas universityy Iohn Russell and Iohn Pritchard, Washington uni- versity: and Iohn Wolfe, lunior College.

Despite the measles epidemic, the Senior play, Headed For Eden, was pre- sented on schedule, March l8 and l9. lt was, a clever three-act comedy written by Disney Duvall. On the casualty list with measles were Helen Hinde and Iesse Fos- ter, who became ill at the last minute, but their parts were ably performed by PegQY Karm and Kenneth Knight. Several of the other characters were afflicted during the practices, but they returned in time for the performances. The play was a comedy drama, dealing with the lives of six girls out on their own who lived- in a Chicago boarding house. The action centered around'Kate Roberts, a girl reporter, played by Ruth Harper, and T-lie- E? L? E fx- f her brother Bob, portrayed by Bob Oliver. Bob was caught in alweb of circumstantial evidence surrounding a robbery case, and it took the combined efforts of Ken Howard, a reporter on a rival newspaper, and Harry Banks to extricate young Roberts from jail. Ken Howard and Harry Banks, a truck driver, teeming with- clever ideas, were played by Heber Cannon and Howard Bevins. An excellent characterization of Nancy Lane, Harry's heart throb, was given by Ioanne Ellis. The police sergeant who followed Bob and took him into custody was played by Floyd Thomas. The girls at the boarding house led very interesting lives. Dorothy Brill, a stenog- rapher, and Peggy Walters, a filing clerk, were always teaming up for some kind of mischief. Venna Stevens and PGQQY Karm played these parts. The sophisticated mem- ber of the group, Gladys Hermann, was ably characterized by Shirley Vardeman. Gladys never seemed to' be able to act en- thusiastic about anything or anybody. Minnie Peters, an alert and active dime store salesgirl, was portrayed by Cleo Clare Cud- worth, while Ruth Land seemed to be a real down and outer, always out of a job, in the part of Marcella Turner. The efficient boarding house matron, Mrs. Skipworth, who always came up with a bit of advice at the right moment, was pre- sented by Mercedees Stetter. Mrs. Skip- worth seemed to be arguing continually with lune Dean who brought constant laughter into the play by her portrayal of Imogene, the cute but dumb little maid. Imogene was the fierce, aggressive type as she made life miserable for the laundry man, Hank, played by Keith Choplinp but her fearless and independent ways finally won his ad- miration. Another romantic angle was supplied by Kenneth Knight as Barry Richards and Helen Schandorf as Rosina Blandish. Barry was an influential stockbroker who fell in love with Rosina, his secretary, one of the girls in the boarding house, and finally married her. Limpy, a poor derelict from- the under- world, really provided the solution to the case in a thrilling scene of unusual power. This difficult part came to life in the person of Everett Stone, who gave an excellent performance. The solution of the problem included some happy breaks for the girls, with the several love affairs terminating as they should, and an acquittal for Bob, and a healing of the breach between Kate and Ken, who had, of course, been in love with her all the time, and had done much to help her and her brother. Eden may not be at hand, but they are all headed for it. ' The play was directed by Miss Ianie Chiles and Miss Nanabel Cassell, who gave a great deal of time and effort to the polish- ing of the characterizations. They deserve a great deal of praise for selecting such a fine play, and a great deal of credit for its turning out a success. ' Kathleen Hiles was the prompter, and I t l Maurice Fennell and Ellis Pickett were the stage managers. Appropriate music was arranged by Miss -lessie Smith. Before the play piano solos were given by Betty Mallett and Vir- ginia Lee Cassell. Between acts Elizabeth Yale gave a flute solo: Miriam McCoy, a vocal solo: Mildred Minton and Maxine Mc- Dowell, a marimba duet. The posters advertising the play were made by the art classes under the super- vision of Miss Nell Samson. Miss MacDon- ald, Miss Clement, Miss Witthar, and Mrs. Randall were in charge of the advertising. Miss Hill and Miss Fallon directed the mak- ing of the programs with the help of Patricia Allen and the secretarial classes. Miss Cas- TOP PICTURE- Standing: Thomas, Stetter, Dean, Choplin.

UST' Ever Since Eve, a comedy in three acts, by Florence Ryerson and Colin Clem- ents, was presented by the juniors Novem- ber 19 and 20. The plot concerns the struggles, unhap- piness, and triumphs of young Susan Blake, a career girl, fWanetta Andesl, who has been elected assistant editor of the High School paper, The Penguin. With the aid of her accomplice, Betsy Erwin, CShirley Fordl she attempts to perform her duties in spite of the opposition of the editor of the paper, Iohnny Clover, CBill Hartiganl and pal, Betsy's brother, CBob Hickaml, who defi- nitely thinks a woman's place is in the home and tries everything including force to per- suade 'Susan of this. However, Susan is encouraged by Miss Martha Willard Uoan lohnsonl a teacher at the school and also a career woman. The crushing blow comes when Lucybelle Lee Cftuth Hilll a little honey-child, from the South, breezes into town, and promptly takes every available male in town including lohnny, who until this time had been considered strictly Susan's property. Preston l-lughs, CGeorge Gregg? the captain of the football tearn, is also smitten by Miss Lee's charms as is Spud, and the competition for her favors be- comes heated even to the point of breaking up Iohnny's and Spud's friendship. This competition reaches the boiling point when all three want to take her to the Christmas dance. Lucybelle, after much hesitation decided that one escort won't be enough and chooses Spud and lohnny as the lucky winners. More complications arise when both Spud and Iohnny come down with the measlesla few days before the dance as a result of Susan's policy of bartering in order to procure money for the big four color Christmas issue of the Penguin. lt seems that in the course of her swapping she obtained a baby buggy from a family re- cently recovered from the measles. This only serves to make her even more unde- sirable-in the eyes of Spud and lohnny. The climax comes when on the night of the dance Susan discovers that lohnny, now re- covered from the measles, isn't going to take her to the dance, and she won'-t have a chance to wear her new dress and slippers. Immediately after this discovery, more trouble comes when the Penguin comes out in all its four color splendor only to have lohnny discover some serious mistakes have been printed such as Miss Willard's en- gagement to the principal of the school, Mr. Quinn, CRobert Holmanl and Lucybelle Lee's advertisement for a junk yard. As a result of these mistakes Miss Willard and Mr. Quinn do get married, but Lucybelle is furi- ous and refuses to have anything to do with either Spud or Iohnny and goes to the dance with Preston Hughes. After that lohnny de- cides that career girls aren't so bad after all and takes Susan, who gets to wear her new dress and silver slippers after all. The cur- tain goes down with everybody happy. Clara Wayne Hendrickson played the part of lohnny's mother, and Eugene Wil- helmsen took the role of the slightly bewil- dered but tolerant father. Comedy was furnished by Myron Thomason as Officer Simmons. Bill Kirkharn, Iohnny Overrnan, Ed Mathews, and lames Curtiss, took the parts of football players. The characters all portrayed their parts excellently, and the play furnished much amusement. Mrs. Schroeder and Mrs. Cooke were the di- rectors.- The play was a victory from the financial as well as from the entertainment standpoint. .,.- X-JJ T . 3 EC-Tit 21 si- - 2 T C One of the outstanding events at Chris- man this year was the sophomore play, pre- sented on April 21 and 22. It was a three act farce entitled, Professor, How Could You. ln order to enable more of the sopho- more students to show their talent, the play was presented by a duel cast, Mrs. Field is the sponsor of the sophomore class and gave a great deal of her time in helping the play to be a success.

The band has played tor every football game and every basketball game this season, and tor the lunior Playp a defense program at the Memorial Building in Octoberg and an unveiling ceremony of the State Historical Society on the Independence Square. The band also played for the Baccalaureate service and Commencement exercises. The band is proud ot the new uniforms, consisting oi royal blue garrison caps, royal blue belts, dark blue slacks and B. O. T. C. coats. These were received at the begin- ning ot the basketball season and added much to the appearance of the band. Five students who have done excellent work in the band are: Leonard Hartman and Kenneth Butterworth Who have been in the band tour years, and Dick Matson, Law- rence Smith, and Harold Butcher who have played with the band three years. Miss Smith and the members ofthe band should be commended tor their fine Work in the school and outside activities and the spirit ot cooperation shown by the group.

The chorus has sung at several assem- blies during this year a few ot which .werez the Thanksgiving, the Christmas, and the Easter Assemblies. Before the Christmas holidays the chorus sang Christmas carols in the halls. This is a long established .custom which all students and teachers seem to enjoy. A large number of the members of the chorus were in the operetta, Sailor Maids, which was presented the BAND -in .t it twenty-ninth of Ianuary. Hugh Rush had the male lead in the operettay and Robert Dar- mon, another chorus member, had a leading part. Both are members ot the Select Mixed Chorus. The chorus sang for the Baccalaureate service and for Commencement exercises. Miriam McCoy, a soprano member of the chorus, has sung for several assemblies and for the senior play. The Select Mixed Chorus meets the third period ot every day, and each person receives a half unit credit for the year's work.

With the presentation of Sailor Maids this year on lanuary 29, the music department recorded another successful per- formance in its long history. A musical comedy in two acts,, Sailor Maids proved a highly entertaining oper- etta with many outstanding songs written by Charles Ross Chaney. The plot of the play with its romantic complications was fast-moving, and the essential support of a qualified cast was not lacking. The cast brought several new actors to Chrisman's stage, who were required to meet the double demand for dramatic and singing ability. Shirley Vardeman carried the main lead as Frances Marie, the eighteen-year old daughter of the light-house keeper, whose charm and attractiveness involved her with several suitors. Her clever handling of these lovers was admirable in one of such youth- ful expe-rience. Shirley's gaity and casual- ness were appropriate to the light, carefree Frances Marie, however, she was at her best in the serious scene with David when she described the fanciful pastimes of childhood and the ships of a childish imagination. ln the course of the play, Shirley sang some eight songs as solos or in ensembles. The light quality of her soprano voice was best exhibited in her solo which she sang to David, My Beautiful Ship of Dreams, while her expression of feeling was highest when she sang You l-lave Deceived Me in accusation of' Edward. Playing opposite Frances Marie, Hugh Rush made his debut in a Chrisman per- formance as Edward Dover, a playmate sweetheartof Frances Marie. Under a false name and false colors throughout the action of the play, Edward slipped with ease from his true role as the son of Captain Dover to the role of a caterer. Edward's good humor and love of a boyish prank was well portrayed in his baritone solo, il Caterer. in which he donned his caterer's uniform as he sang. ln the musical dialogue between Edward and Olga, What a Surprise, one of the best comedy scenes of the operetta was presented, and the constant friction be- tween Edward and her brought on several hilarious scenes in which she subdued him with a threatening rolling pin. Robert Darmon in the role of David Kern gained his first experience on the stage. As the handsome yachtman swept into Edward's plan of deception, David bashfully assumed the part of Frances Marie's old fiance, and the sincerity of his proposal in his baritone solo, The Enchanted Island, won Frances Marie in truth. . ln sharp contrast in character to the shy, unassuming David, was Everett Stone, igfmx .5 ...JMX . 15- 1,,,,Q.M,Lgg2-- 5? fc ty-st-'11, t C! ,,.f 1 X 'kk 7 1 ,QB 13 x T in the role of the mast lover, Gerald Ken- nedy. ln the romantic setting of the bal- cony scene, the earnestness of his love- making in the duet. Romeo and luliet, which he sang with Frances Marie, was both amusing. and pathetic to the audience. In spite of his excellent technique, Gerald was rejected again -a disappointed lover. The demure little sailor maid who was Frances Marie's closest friend was lean- nette, portrayed by Anna Virginia Shrock. Singing the mezzo-soprano of the duet, High, Shy Moon, she coyly played up to Edward and later relieved Frances Marie of her playmate sweetheart. , Furnishing the main comedy of the operetta was Olga, the housekeeper, played by Shirley Myers. l-ler Swedish brogue and excitable temperament were always the subject of laughter: and in her solo, Coo Coo, Shirley revealed not only an ability at comedy but a nice contralto voice as well. The two older characters, both of which were speaking parts were taken by l-leber Cannon, as Frances Marie's father, and Earl l-lagan, as Captain Dover, Edward's father. The older, more mature manner, often diffi- cult to portray, they assumed with ease. Though l-leber's previous experience had ,I been in roles of younger characters, he proved his versatility in this different type of character. Theyachting club of sailor maids whose captain was Frances Marie appeared sev- eral times throughout the performance as the chorus of the operetta. Perf and crisp in their white sailor dresses, they gave a great deal of atmosphere to the sea-shore setting of the story: and their appearances at vari- ous peaks in the action of the play height- ended the dramatic effect. In the nine cho- ruses of the operetta, the most popular themes occurred. ln the opening chorus of the second act the swinging motion of Bell of the Sea, imitating the ringing of the light-house bells, especially appealed to the audience while the clever dialogue be- tween the boys and the girls in A Secret was one of the lightest, best-liked melodies. One of the most rhythmic and catchy tunes was the gay chorus, Mah long, in which the sailors and sailor maids discussed their J., i E thrilling new game. At the climax of the play when the true identity of all charac- ters was untangled and Edward stood con- demned by all, the chorus, aroused and in- dignant, sang its brilliant accusation, A Thief! A Thief! The grand finale con- taining a medley of the choicest tunes of the operetta brought grand and effective finish to the operetta. A The entire operetta and chorus was under the direction of Miss Iessie Smith, who for many years has given her time and efforts to the annual performances of the music department. From Chrisman's re- ception of Sailor Maids at its one-night performance, she may feel justly proud of her choice of this year's operetta. In the dramatic phase of the production Miss Smith was assisted by Mrs. Mary Foster Williams. All songs of the operetta were accompanied on the piano. Betty Mallett, who played for the musical presentation last year, was the accompanist. ., 'A' Back Row: Carroll, Cassell, Mallett faccornpanistl, Farley, Etzel, Kester, Suclbrock, Maxon, Brown, Mclnness, Mitchell, Minton, Chapman, Akers, Cottingham, Butcher, Tomlinson, Peel, Van Dyke.

The Grand March formed after the re- ceiving line. The Grand March is one of the traditional features of the Ball and the highlight of the evening. Approximately two hundred couples took part, filling the mal annual event of the year for the high school. The event was witnessed by many persons in the balcony of the Memorial Building, mostly parents of the dancers. These boys, the youth of America, with al- ready a sound military foundation, soon to be defenders of the cause of right, though for the present not of the bloody struggle in which many of their companions are en- gaged, but of the social side of military life rightfully enjoyed every moment of the evening. . The Ball was begun by the reception of the corps by a group of prominent civic and military figures of the area. Among those in the reception line were W. E. Matthews, superintendent of schools in Independence, and Mrs. Matthewsp I. N. Hanthorn, assist- ant superintendent of schools, and Mrs. Han- thornp Carl Gum, principal of William Chris- man, and Mrs. Gum: Mrs. Fanny Lee Knight, W. H. Winninger, I. A.

The March was led by Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Iesse Foster, with Spon- sor Colonel Iane Ellen Iohnson, and Cadet Major Kenneth Knight and Gloria Vermilye. Following the Grand March the couples danced to the music of the University of Kansas City's Orchestra. This year a floor show was presented in the half hour intermission although no floor show was given last year. The show was presented by the Gillespie-Sullivan School of Dancing and was obtained by the Sponsor Colonel. Several entertaining num- bers were presented by the chorus as well as several solo dances, and everyone en- joyed the program. ln accordance with the war program no refreshments were served during the intermission. The Military Ball has become a tradition in our high school. Although the first ball was held only in l936, it has since that time become undoubtedly the high point in the year's activities. Each year more cadets and their dates attend, and each year it is looked forward to with more enthusiasm than last year. Half the enjoyment of the ball comes from the preparation. For two weeks before the ball daily mixers are held in the girls' gym under the supervision of Miss Street, Sergeant Dean, and the Sponsor Colonel for the cadets and all William Chrisman girls who wish to attend. The music was furnished by a victrola, and many of the boys learned the fundamentals of dancing as well as new steps. The line up dances are a favorite feature of these mixers. Much enthusiasm and excitement is aroused by the contest and speculation as to which girl will be chosen as sponsor .A X X ' E. colonel. The candidates are nominated by the cadets in their R. O. T. C. classes. The list of nominees is then voted on again, and the field narrowed to two condidates. A final vote is then taken to determine who shall be the sponsor colonel. Betty Lou Smurr was the runner-up in this year's elec- tion. The Ball is of interest not only to the students, but to the people of Independence also. Each year the balcony is filled to overflowing with spectators. Even those who are not parents of the cadets and their friends, enjoy watching the arresting and colorful pageant of the dancers. The Ball acts as a magnet' for many old graduates as well. Every year more alumni come back to meet the new cadets and greet the older ones. New friendships are made and old ones renewed.- Among the alumni who attended this year's function were I. C. Davis, Cadet Colonel of 1939, Harold Winters, Cadet Colonel of l94l, Don Meyer, Cadet Colonel of 19429 Robert Kirby, Cadet Major 1942, and Bill -jones, also a Cadet Major for 1942. The cadets were also glad to welcome back Mary Maness, Spon- sor Colonel for l94l. The B. O. T. C. Ball is truly a home-coming affair.

The Student Council in- troduced this method of recreation by desig- nating the first and third Friday afternoons of each month for mixers. They were held in the boys' gym at four o'clock, and any stu- dent was welcome to attend and to dance. Games were also played in the study hall by students who preferred not to dance. The music was furnished by the school recording machine, using records that the Student Council had purchased during the last two years. These were supplemented by some records willingly loaned for the oc- casions by Robert Wimberly. The students found a faithful, dependable friend in Richard Wilkie, who consented to operate the machine for every mixer. These dances were all well attended by fun-loving stu- dents. . The P. T. A., knowing that the shortage of gasoline and tires hindered the students in their leisure hours, came to the rescue. They sponsored a mixer in the Memorial Building after each home basketball game. These proved very popular and were so suc- cessful that at the basketball tournament a mixer was held and the Center High School, North Kansas City High School, Lees Sum- mit High School and St. loe Central High School teams and their rooters were invited to participate. The idea sounded like such a great deal of fun that Lees Summit offered her high school swing band to furnish music for the evening. The students thoroughly enjoyed the evening, and the mixer was voted a complete success. Pleased with the outcome of the basket- ball mixers at the Memorial Building, the.P. T. A. sought the consent of the Board of Edu- cation to hold night mixers in the boys' gym at Chrisman. These events were held April 2nd and April 30th and were unusually well attended. Many requests went in to the P. T. A. for more such entertainment, but the school activity calendar was already corn- pletely filled. We hope that next year the P. T. A. can sponsor student mixers' more frequently. ' The many friendly' and helpful parents who acted as chaperons for these evenings were: Mr. and Mrs. Roy Pryor, Mrs. Max Gould, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Knoepker, Mrs. Elmer Ahmann, Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Hen- derson, Mr. and Mrs. Tuckfield, Mr. and Mrs. Shrock, Mr. and Mrs. Howard C. Hinde, Mrs. Cecil Campbell, Mrs. A. F. Burgess, Mr. and Mrs. Richard E. Givens, and Mr. and Mrs. Carl D. Gum. The teachers who faithfully assisted the parents were: Mrs. Mary Duggan, Miss Sherman, Miss Clement, Miss Mabel Potter, Miss Nora- Witthar, Mrs. Randall, Miss Nell E. Sampson, Miss Ellen Singleton, Miss Mac- Donald, Miss Anne Stewart, Miss lanie Chiles, Miss Margaret Chiles, Miss Fallon, QNX, in -TT-1 t it--41 ,T-4 ,F it lj E ,V is f'lYx - f V ?-.2 ff .ff fs-Q lt 5 Zfdif , 7 5 i. f 5 it li YQ' I ,E t fi it if -1111-.1-' E375 ' if fx 1 Miss Emina Hill, Miss lessie Smith, Mr. French, Mr. Webb, and Sergeant Dean. A During .the months of April and May, every Wednesday from four o'clock till five o'clock, Sergeant Dean sponsored a mixer for the R. O. T. C. cadets and their girl friends. These mixers were held in the girls' gym. Also, two weeks before the annual Military Ball, Sergeant Dean sponsored after school mixers every day in the girls' gym. The purpose was to help the boys with their dancing so they would fully enjoy the R. O. T. C. Ball. The students, do, indeed, appreciate these mixers. The seniors envy the under- classmen for being able to look forward in the coming year to many periods of well- planned recreation. May all the mixers and future activities at Chrisman be as much fun in their remaining years as they have proved to be this past year. , Q At 8:30 p. m. on the night of April 9, l943, the three societiesy the Nautilus and Shakespearean Literary Societies and the As-You-Like-lt Dramatic Club, collaborated with each other to present the annual lnter- Society Dance. This informal dance is one of the most gala affair of the school year and is looked forward to by each student with much anticipation. The music was supplied by the Lees Summit orchestra, The Music Makers, directed by Armon Adams. The girls who made up the committee to plan for the music were: from-the Nautilus Literary Society-Cleo Clare Cudworth and Lola Mae Stovall, Peggy lean Karm and Glenna Dean Iacobs representing the Shakespearean Society, and Shirley Meyers, Pat Allen, and Pat Brown from the As-You-Like-It Club. There were no special numbers. Those girls on the decoration committee Were: from the Nautilus Literary Society-Gloria lean Verrnilye and Eliza- beth Shrouty from the Shakespearean Liter- ary Society-Madeline Mavel and Glenna Dean lacobsp and from the As-You-Like-lt Dramatic Club, Pat Allen, Lucy lane Comp- ton, and Clara Vtfayne Hendrickson. The decorations consisted of lattice work in yel- low, white, and green in keeping with the spring season. Due to the food rationing, re- freshments were dispensed with this year. No stag bids were distributed, and only Chrisman students were allowed to attend the dance. The chaperons who were parents of Various members of the societies were: Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Cudworth, Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Allen, Mr. and Mrs. O. V. Ver- milye, Mr and Mrs. H. H. Brown, and Mrs. Fred Vardeman. Those representing the faculty were: Mr. and Mrs. Carl D. Gum and Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Huhn. At ll:3O approximately one hundred students very reluctantly started homeward. Each one felt that this night's enjoyment had been a marker in his or her school life to be long remembered. Inter-Society Dance Mixer 103 ft-,tif if N, -195, H 'mXl'E'1l .tn wi, 4 qxlialt' xiii' Many things were done this year to keep situdents from being too bored with their noon hour freedom, An outstanding event that went over big was our noon hour dances. Popular records were used from the girls' gym classes. Mrs. Duggan gave her sincere guidance at each of these noon mixers. Another event was the boys' basketball tournaments as well as girls' tournament. Several of the girls who played were: Elna Olson, Irene Butkovich, Virginia Weddle, Ioanne Ellis, Helen Schandorf, and Lora Weatherford. Over fifty per cent of the boys took part in basketball, volleyball, wrestling, boxing, and also commando training. The following boys got commando emblems after having passed successfully the com- mando test: Gene Swiehart, Don Bauer, Sam Doutt, Homer Atkinson, Dean Holder, Edward Constance, Iames Thomas, Paul Noland, Bernard Crowe, Ervin Long, Stanley McGhee, Richard Davis, Floyd Thomas, Acie lohnson, Gordon Sevy, Iohn Ganson, Bob McWilliams, Freeman Martin, Bob Iohnson, Eugene Thurman, and others. To have received this emblem the boys had to be able to: pass a physical examina- tion, swim 50 yards any style: run a mile under 6 minutes out doors: climb 18 feet rope any way in l2 seconds or under: pick up and carry own weight one hundred yards in 40 seconds, do thirty-five squat jumps. Also they had their choice of six of the following: High jump fifty-four inches: dive over three high on mat: dive over six long on matp demonstrate three ju-iitsu holds: pull up 20 times, run broad jump sixteen feet: twenty-six squat thrusts in one minute: fifty set ups: thirty push ups. Every Wednesday those students who brought their lunch were given a free educa- tional movie. The projector was run by the following ,group of boys: Ellis Thatcher, manager of the group, Kenneth Ralston, Don- ald Bauer, Ellis Fish, Roger Farrell, Lloyd Hendrix, Earl Hagan, Billy Benson, Richard Wilkie, and Burton Barwise. QQ Qlgggfj RCM .Ll Q 'snug ,ji ' 104 The Congo Line Q This year on May 28 the annual lunior- Senior Reception was held in the boys' gym- nasium. It has been the tradition for many years that the junior class sponsor a prom for their upperclassmen, as a farewell tribute. The prom was financed by the re- turns from the junior play and junior class dues. This year the dance was planned and managed by the four committees appointed by the junior teachers and junior officers. These committees worked diligently to make the reception a success. The refreshment committee was spon- sored by Miss Verda Filkin, and Mrs. Mary Duggan, and composed of the following juniors: Lucy lane Compton, Mona Allen, Barbara Carroll, and Freddie Logan. In spite of point rationing the committee planned adequate refreshments that were enjoyed by all present. This gave the dancers a respite from their evening's enter- tainment. The gymnasium was beautifully deco- rated in bright colors under the skillful supervision of the members of the decoration committee who were George Gregg, Lola Mae Stovall, Pattie Campbell, Pat Allen, and johnny Lund. The teachers assistinig them were Mrs. Florence Cooke and Mr. Gregory Lefever. The reception was a gala affair with the girls in their colorful gowns adding much to the decorativeness of the dance. Another committee of equal importance to the success of the prom was the ticket and invitation committee. The members of this committee were Clara Wayne Hendrickson, Carolyn Scott, and Bert Landfried. The teachers aiding these juniors were Mr. L. E. Morris and Miss Frances Kreeger. The last but not least of these commit- tees was the entertainment committee. It provided for a fine swing band and a floor show. The juniors who worked on this com- mittee were,Dick Crawford, Allene Burgess, Loretta Morris, and Ed Mathews, and the teachers sponsoring the committee were Mr. Charles Huhn and Miss Lucille Hawes. For the students who didn't care to dance, there were games and other recre- ation provided for them in the study hall. Therefore the evening was certainly one which was enjoyed by all present including students and teachers alike. Every year several sophomores are se- lected by the various committees to aid in serving the refreshments. The sophomores are always willing and seem to consider it an honor to do their part for the reception., The seniors would never feel properly graduated without this farewell party given in their honor by the junior class, an oc- casion which will long be remembered by both juniors and seniors.

A SONNET Time and Memories last an eternity- The only things in life that really do, Love is so often fickle and untrue: Nature changes in every Way as we May see heaven's blue smile or purple seap Our life is but a moment in God's view- Though it may seem all that matters to you. The Wind is constant as these things, you see. But Time-and Memories? They never end. Time ticks on and on and on-ceaselessly. Memories fade, but fading only lends To that thought We hold so dear-a beauty. Yes, though memories fade, they last, dear friend, And through it all-time goes on-endlessly. 4 Cleo Clare Cudworth, '43 OUR WORD While many people are lamenting Conditions as they are, The World is full of beauty For those Who see afar. While people are complaining And have no Word of cheer, Yet life is worth the living For him who has no fear. Although folks are deploring The sin in every land, , God whispers from the heavens To those who understand.

They know their duty, they know their place. They challenge death, face to face, They take the guns, deliver the oil, So we can live on our own free soil.

Lucy lane Compton, '44 HEAVEN-SCENT There is supposed to be a heaven. I know there is a heaven and my idea of it is: The way the earth smells after a spring rain, So good and green you want to stand and sniff all day. People scurrying in the silver mist, bright colored um- brellasg Mothers dragging their offsprings whose lollypop has melted Making red streaks on the forlorn little paw. A boy and girl walk along holding hands. The girl has sparkling water diamonds in her blue- black hair. Drivers go skidding along, the rain making little irrides- cent drops of water On the windshield: ,. The shy budding crocuses shake water when you touch them, and smell like ecatasy. But that's funny because crocuses have no odor. Ada Kimsey, '43 HOXlE'S BEACH I sat there in the evening On the beach so bleak and bare, The sun's last rays were gleaming The wind was in my hair. I sat there watching darkness Take possession of the sea, I could see the fog banks rising To shut out the world from me. I marveled at the beauty Of that peaceful, quiet scene, Of the crooked strips of Water And the sand dunes in between. Now l'm far from that lonely beach And the lure of the open sea, Yet still I can feel that spell In the halls of memory. Biloine Whiting, '44 Freedom, Will be secured Through honest sacrifice. Our common cause demands courage To win. Lenora Ellis, '44 SIXTEEN Sixteen is the start of life So I've'been often told. And I must learn to live and love And try all good to hold. I must learn to do things That will build myself up high In love and kindness, patience too, For youth will soon pass by. It makes no difference where I live If true to myself am I. The thing' that counts as I go along ls just how hard I try 1 To look bravely up as I travel on, And be content in knowing That God is still in his abode. Watching o'er me while I'm growing.
