IOHN LUFF At the regular monthly meetings of the Board of Education many difficult problems in our school system are discussed and solved. A tew of these are: handling finan- cial matters, selecting teachers, making changes in the curriculum and deciding about holidays. This Board is set up in a very democratic manner. Mr. Matthews, the superintendent otschools, is the executive officer,-the six members: Mr. Iohn W. Luft, President, Mr. Fleming Pendleton, Vice President, Mrs. Ad-' BUARIJ UF EDUCATIUN OFFICERS I MR.

Becker, are the directors: the officers, are the teachers, and the citizens of lndependence are the stockholders. Al- though Miss Katie Chastain is not a member of the Board, she serves as a most efficient secretary-treasurer. There- isn't a more co-operative group of people in lndependence working toward a goal as worthwhile as the education of the youth of the community. With the guidance of these people our school will go tar in the future. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION IN SESSION tg? 5 . , .....,,,., ., ,F XM I IO ' ' ..r, 1... y I - ..'.-mano- - - s.1,s-:rr-cu: ,rg SUPERINTENDENT The Independence School System has been very fortunate during the past seven years to have as its superintendent Mr. W. E. Matthews, a man of high ideals and the energy and per- severance, to put these ideals over. He has been one of the most influential and helpful forces in the lives of many Chrisman students. His interest in students, their activities, his understanding of youths' problems, and his willingness to help all who need his sound ad- vice have endeared him to pupils and teach! ers alike. He inspires admiration in all those who have come in contact with his winning personality. 1 Under his guidance, students receive train- ing to better fit them to take an active part in the life of the community, state, and nation. Mr. Matthews realizes the importance of us- ing one's time to the best advantage. An educa- tion is all important to the youth, and he feels that we shall realize the truth of this statement when the war is over and the long and difficult period of readiustment follows. He attended MR. MATTHEWS MRS. KEARNES ..,,..:. .u.n,-4-ez-fe ,---..-... ..:m.w-e-rf.-v- MR. W, E. MATTHEWS, Superintendent Warrensburg State Teachers' College, Mary- ville College, and the University of Missouri. He holds a Master's degree. Mr. Matthews has shown us by his own life that we cannot hope to become successful members of society in these trying times un- less we master ourselves. ' Especially invaluable to the boys who are preparing to enter the military service is his wholesome and helpful advice, as well as to those who are already in the service, and we at home who are bewildered by such a fast changing world. ln this way of Contact with many people, Mr. Matthews has established a bond of friendship that very few administrators know. Mrs. Mildred Kearnes is Mr. Matthews's able assistant and secretary. She is capable and friendly to all and a suitable secretary for such an efficient superintendent. gs 5 E.

This is Mr. I. N. I-lanthorn, former principal of our high school from l924 to l94l, but now Assistant Superintendent of the Independence School System. We remember him here at Chrisman as instigator of the student government of which we are so proud, and also as sponsor of the student handbook. Mr. I-lanthorn has a very broad education. I-le has, studied at the State 'I'eacher's Col- lege at Warrensburg and at the University of Missouri, and he has received his mas- ter's degree from Columbia University in New York City. I-le is very capable to step into any classroom when a substitute teacher is not available and ably teach any course. r In his office he performs many tasks. l-Ie takes care of the school census which is very important as it includes keeping a file of everyone between six and nineteen years of age inclusive in the Independence District. Due to rationing registration, this file is now complete. He also gives work permits to students, and this year he has issued over one thousand two hundred forty-three. Com- piling the Superintendenfs annual report is another large task which he assists Mr. Mat- thews to do. This includes reportseof the personnel of schools, financial status, curri- culum and activities of our high school and other Independence Schools. I-le also sup- plies certification of age from the school rec- ords which many people need to get birth certificates. - One of the first things that catches the eye in Mr. I-Ianthorn's office is an artistically printed motto which reads: Initiative Doing the right thing Without being told I t QZVK I l MR. I. N. HANTHORN, Assistant Superintendent This is a favorite motto of Mr. I-Ianthorn. I-Ie believes that students who do the right thing without being told are the ones who excel. A visit from this friend of such high char- acter who is always so interested in us and our activities is always very welcome. A AT HIS DESK ll 12 I t 1 'llll lultf I 'IIZI I I.

MR. GUM'S OFFICE MRS. GENTRY MR. GUM MRS. DeSI-IAZO ....... .wgkzmf-4- -, PRINCIPAL l-le is well qualified for his position having received his B. S. degree at Cape Girardeau Teachers' College. An A. M. degree was awarded him at the University of Missouri. Besides that he has done additional work at the University of Missouri and at the Teachers' College of Columbia University in New York. During the past four years our school has profited a great deal from the new methods he has introduced to keep our school run- ning smoothly, thus helping the students as well as the faculty. Many letters from boys in the service who have had to leave before they could grad- uate come to him every week seeking help in obtaining their diplomas by way of a cor- respondence coursef ln some instances he has to figure how much credit'the boys have earned during their period of military train- ing and find how many points that would mean according to our system. This entails a lot of writing on Mr. Gum's part. Pupils are always welcome to bring their difficulties to him for consultation. Mr. Gum handles all of the government blanks that come in from the army and de- fense plants from all parts of the country asking for references. The principal's office is one of the busiest places in Chrisman. lt is an information bureau, takes care of absentees, telephone calls, letters, printing of the daily bulletin, and many other little details necessary in an office. Mrs. Elizabeth Gentry and Mrs. DeShazo assist Mr. Gum in his work. Their efficiency accounts for the smooth running of the of- fice. 3-4-21: zv.. mu..-nf.-LZ?.7 4:51:11 n I I va M-,,,.

Parents often lose control of their children because they cannot intelligently follow the studies of their children in school. The P. T. A. is an organized effort to pro- vide systematic parental training which will eventually insure harmonious and efficient functioning between the parent and child in this rapidly changing civilization. lt has affi- liated branches in all but one state, a total membership of over one million. The Parent-Teacher Association was or- ganized forty-eight years ago on February 17, 1897 fat Washington, D. CJ by Mrs. Theo- dore Birney and Mrs. Phoebe Apperton. William Chrisman is very proud to have the honor of being the first high school in Missouri to have aParent-Teacher Organiza- tion. It was organized by Mrs. A. L. Ying- ling in September of 1917. The P. T. A. has five objectives which help to promote co-operation between' the home and school. These are: ' CD To promote the welfare of child and youth in the home, school, church, and com- munity: C25 to raise the standard of home life: 439 to secure adequate laws for the care and protection of the child and youth, C47 to bring into closer relationship the home and the school, that the P. T. A. may co-operate in- telligently in the training of the child: C57 to develop between the educators and the gen- eral public such united efforts as will secure the highest advantages in physical, mental, social, and spiritual education. This year the officers who have guided the P. T. A. so successfully are: Mrs. H. W. Al- len, president, Mrs. R. A. Guyton, first vice- presidentp Mrs. P. M. Lowry, secretary, Mrs. H. A. Lund, treasurer, Mrs. C. F. Neef, cor- responding secrearyg Mrs. H. H. Burlekamp, historian :and Mr. Gregory Lefever, auditor. The annual Founder's day program was held on February 4. Mrs. Shrock and Mr. Matthews were the speakers. Each year the P. T. A. sponsors the Senior Dance, held after the graduation exercises. This is an annual affair that is looked for- ward to by all Chrisman. students, and is especially appreciated by the seniors be- cause they realize that it is their last school activity.

We surely realize, then, what an important task our custodians have in keeping' our school properly heated, cleaned, and in good order, so that We stu- dents Will be provided the best Working con- ditions possible. Mr. Iohn Greer certainly deserves a great deal of praise for the capable and depend- able manner in which he has carried out his duties at Chrisrnan for fifteen years. Mr. Iohn Haun, who has served Chrisman for tive years, also has proved himself to be an inspiration to those he serves so capably. Mr. Hight and Mr. Benson, who have charge of the old building, have also proven their efficiency this past year. We are exceedingly grateful to Mr. Greer, Mr. l-laun, Mr. Benson, and Mr. I-light tor the able way they keep our school. As students and teachers of William Chrisman, We all realize that if it were not for the conscientious work of our custodians, school would cer- tainly be an uncomfortable and dreary place in which to study. n BENSON, WALKER, HAUN, GREER, HIGHT 23 t ' ' Q- -uw..-.rn,.,--r ':::-rf ,...-........L.,.4-,ur---f-. ff- .... .L . .

SENIORST Senior Class History As freshmen in junior High, this senior class of l945, launched its high school ca- reer. We were very proud that we were freshmen, but the height of fulfillment came the next year when our class really entered high school as sophomores. The fact that we were just sophomores didn't matter be- cause the upperclassmen treated us right: and we were asked to join clubs, societies. and other organizations. Our sophomore class had the privilege of presenting a sophomore play entitled, 'Pro- fessor, How Could You. This was well re- ceivedi During our junior year we found that some of our classmates were excellent football and basketball players. We also discovered ot few good debaters and orators in our midst. The junior play presented that year was 'entitled Best Foot Forward, a comedy in three acts, which was exceptionally well fitted to high school students and was en- joyed by everyone. e Our class had steadily made progress and its members should be justly proud of it. But now, this is the senior year toward which we have been working and wecon- sider our senior class the best ever. The senior play, Come Rain or Shine, was a well received comedy which excellent acting made most enjoyable. lts good athletes, actors, debaters, orators, scientists, and artists have made this class the outstanding senior class that it is. There are members of our class who will be unable to graduate because they joined the armed forces. Some of the well-known members are: Kenneth Kirkham, lack Rob- erts, Kenneth Price, Bob Lyday, Harold Titus, ,Wayne Lefler, Charles Stewart, and others. We, the 1945 graduating class, will leave Chrisman better prepared to meet the strifes and pleasures in the future years. NOON HOUR ON WEST LAWN H , ,,.

The society was estab- lished in the hopes of fostering interest and active participation in the field of drama. Under the charter the group of future Thes- pians was designated as troup 398 and re- ceived its membership from the national headquarters. The requirements for mem- bership in the Thespian Society are partici- pation in two three-act plays, or appearance in three one-act plays with a total of not less than one hundred speeches. Entrance in the society can also be obtained by serving as Stage manager, assistant director, promptor, Or any back stage technical Work. In ad- dition to these things, each student desiring admission must be recommended by the di- rector of each production in which he ap- peared. Each tentative Thespian must also have an M average in all subjects with superior marks in speech, dramatics, and English. After the required dues have been paid and a formal initiation held, the stu- dent is listed as a Thespian until by his in- activeness in drama he knows his desire to be dropped from the role. The Thespians and the speech department have presented a three act play each year since they have been in existence in Chris- man. The other dramatic event of the Thes- pians is the all school one act play contest in the spring. At this time individual awards are made in addition to honors given to the best plays. The social function of the year is the banquet or picnic at the close of the year, decided on by the club. This year's officers are: president, Paul Nagel, vice-president, Howard Downs: sec- retary-treasurer, Glenna Iacobs. The club's sponsors are Mrs. Mary Foster Williams and Miss Nanabel Cassell. . . ,. ... .L. .. ---H -H- ,....... ... .wk -'-'-- --- K TOP ROW: Weiss B, Hughes Cramer Ruley Weatherford Green Phillips.

RT STUDENTS The art staff of the GLEAM this year for- tunately was given one period to devote to the work. The best art students who rated S or above, who could arrange their schedule so as to join the fifth period class, constituted the GLEAM Art Staff. Thus or- ganizedf it was possible to begin work on the Annual early. The plan of the book was considered. This presented the immediate need of taking pictures before the season should be too far advanced. Plans and con- tracts were soon made. The senior class pictures were taken by Iohn Taylor's lean Sardou Studio, which re- peated the attractive offer made last year, as did also the School Photo Service which took the junior and sophomore pictures. Group pictures of the clubs, societies, classroom views etc were taken by Mr Stewart Beebe of Kansas City Our R O T C Captain Archie Morris took many fine snapshots during the year, making possible our extra snapshot pages. The trimming, cutting, arranging, and mounting of pictures kept all busy for Weeks, getting panels and pages ready for the en- graver. More copy than usual was ready for the first discount day, December 15th. Later the drawing of designs for the open- ing pages, the making of three dummies, and the mounting of proofs, required daily effort to make possible the GLEAM for l945, the great ambition of the Art Staff. P The staff willingly and earnestly cooper- ated, some working long hours after school. Perhaps the heavier responsibility was car- ried by Elaine Friend, Loni Land, Cicely De- Lapp, and Neldine Gragg. The Staff truly appreciated the kindness and willing helpfulness of their sponsor Miss Sampson , -, . , , I . . . . , , n Q. . . .. .. -V: , .,.1.:.:.r.-,,m1f,m,,4..g'':.4:::f.1e:-....i..e..1g:12s::s,LL.3.:gc.c:zm.:.:.g:.::..r.1:g..5fsI..:..:,,: agr ee ..f.,..' :rf THE LITER RY STAFF The literary staff of the GLEAM is a se- lected group of. students, chosen for their writing ability to compose the articles and stories of the Year Book. Members maintain an average of S or above in English, and their services are voluntary. After the art staff prepares the dummy of the book, the literary staff begins work on copy. The allotted space on the dummy must be measured carefully by the literary editors, and the staff members must write articles with a definite number of words. As- signments are distributed evenly among the staff. Each member writes a foreword as his first project. Then the best is chosen and published in the GLEAM. This is an honor for any literary staff member. A Under the helpful guidance of the sponsor, Miss Hill, the staff works in earnest to the completion of the book. Each year the staff strives for higher literary standards. Each member tries to develop a smooth literary style pleasing to the reader. A new theme is chosen each year for the GLEAM to follow. The literary staff en- deavors to develop this theme throughout the book. Doing a thing well requires time, and some of the staff members' best creative work is put into the G-LEAM. The articles are also proof read to perfect the literary lwork. After copy is written, it is sent to the typing staff and then to the printer. It is a difficult task to compile a year book, but with co-operation of the staff, sponsor, and liter- ary editors, Betty McDonald, and Dorothy Howard, a year book has been written to be enjoyed by all, the GLEAM.

I TYPISTS AND BUSINESS STAFFS TYPING STAFF OF THE GLEAM The faithful students making up this year's typing start are: Shirley Wolfe, Phyllis Clo- thier, ., Patsy Warren, Delores Goodridge, Evelyn Bliss, Geraldine Stone, Marjorie Smith, and Leota Alton. I These students were carefully selected on the basis of their ability to type With rapidity and accuracy, on their thoroughness ot checking, and ability to spell correctly. In addition to those qualifications mentioned, these students were willing to give and could afford to give all of the extra time that this Work demanded of them. Time spent in typing included noon hours, in the morning, alter school, and even study hall periods were relinquished. Besides being outstand- ing in extra-curricular events, these people rank high in scholarship. Miss Fallon's able and competent leader- ship enabled this staif to contribute largely to the spectacular success ot this 3 ear s GLEAM THE BUSINESS AND ADVERTISING STAFF These starts ot the GLEAM have charge of two oi the most important tasks on the an- nual. Much hard Work and many after- school hours are called tor in order that these divisions of GLEAM work may be a suc- cess. This year the efficient and capable spon- sor of the business managers and the adver- tising stait is Miss Ianie Chiles. The busi- ness managers are: Dorothy Boyer, Tommy Fisher, and Pat Heide. They handle all of the GLEAM money, keep strict accounts, and record homeroom GLEAM sales. Members of the advertising stait include: Bob Cramer, Mark Handley, Lawrence Fields, Bill Brizendine, Fae Abbott, Norma Forster, Doris Griffith, Marion Dougherty, and Wilma Kelpe. These people, an essen- tial group assisting in publishing the GLEAM are assigned various business and professional houses in and near Indepen dence to solicit and sell advertising I . , , , . .V CHRISMAN ENVOY Members of the journalism classes pub- lished eleven issues of the bimonthly school paper, the Envoy, ,this year. The Envoy staff operated in a different manner than usual, with a combined class of first and second semester students publishing the paper to- gether. During the first semester, the new students Worked on text books between is- sues, and Wrote for the Envoy under the guidance of Miss Potter and the advanced students. The second semester editions were pub- lished by this same class, minus the more advanced students who finished the course at the end of first semester. There was no beginner class started at the half. A new group will begin next fall and will publish the paper all year, much as the students did this year. A The Envoy is written and published for the benefit and enjoyment oi the students. The staff has tried to cover all school activities and other matters of interest to its readers. The staff has taken special interest in Chrisman servicemen. Each issue has car- ried a column on their activities, and by co- operating with the Student Council has helped send 250 copies of every issue to servicemen all over the world. Iournalismas a classroom study was in- troduced into Chrisman in 1942. However, there has been a paper in the school for many years. The first was started in 1898 and ran only or year. Again in 1917, a paper was pub- lished for one year. ln 1921, a regular paper was published, called the GLEAM. This was increased in size, and in 1931 became the Envoy. It is now a standard size school paper and has many exchanges in America and Canada. ENVOY STAFF - I . - Caruth, Allen, Irving, Iones, Riseman, Peer, H.

ELECT CHORUS Under the leadership oi Miss lessie Smith, the third hour girls' select chorus group has been very successful in their class Work as well as their outside activities. The class consists of seventy students, from which forty of them are chosen to sing on the assembly programs, and other outside performances. Each year a group ot singers is chosen to Siflq Christmas carols in the halls. This year theentire chorus class was used and their melodious voices rang through the halls of Chrisman. The annual operetta was Qiven March the twenty-third in which all of the chorus class, including the second hour class, participated. Many hours ot practice were necessary in order to make the oper- etta a success, and the students co-operated wholeheartedly. All chorus students that have participated in all outside Work and that have an M average or above are eligible for a music letter, which is given at the completion ot the course. The chorus class is a Whole year subject. 'Only select songs are used in the class, such as Ave Maria, and the ever popular classic, Going Home. Three and tour part singing is used in all ot the songs. Many ot the students have met together, and have attended the many musi- cal performances that have been given at the Music Hall in Kansas City. The chorus class has accomplished much during 1944-45 and well deserves all praise given to its members. They have done a great deal to help make the student activi- ties interesting and entertaining. The students have all enjoyed their Work which has been both entertaining and edu cational and Well worth While . . 11 11 ' ' .

ORCHESTRA The William Chrisman High School or- chestra was again under the able baton of Mr. Myron lohnson, Chrisman band leader and accomplished violinist with the Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra. ln previous years the orchestra membership has been almost too small to accomplish very much, but this year the twenty-four piece orchestra really began to get down to business, de- voting its fifth hour period to practice. During the year the orchestra has played for the baccalaureate service and gradua- tion, given a spring concert, and entertained with several instrumental numbers on an as- sembly program. They had planned enter- ing the A-class of orchestras in the district contest at Raytown, but it was called off be- cause of ODT restrictions. They had also prepared a number for string orchestra only. The members of the orchestra playina the various musical instruments are as follows Violin Betty Lou Bell Betty Burrus Richard Burton, lames Hanson, Gwen Marler, Rachel Stout, and loyce Worrell, viola, Rosemary Olson, cello, Rebecca Stoutp bass viol, El- nora Warner and Dolly Stewart: clarinet, Madelon Cato and Vernon Mitchell: flute, Angela Patterson, trumpet, lim lonesp trom- bone, Norman Coxp saxophone, Martha Deisterg and piano, Rosemary Curtis and Carol Lee Anway. Members of the lunior High orchestra and our band make up two additional violins, one viola, one' trumpet, and two percussions at performances. T The orchestra chose the following first se- mester officers: president, Madelon Cato: vice president, Carol Lee Anwayp secretary and treasurer, Angela Pattersonp and li- brarian, Betty Lou Bell.

AND ln 1939 the William Chrisman High School Band was first organized under the direction of Frank E. Martin. Then only Pt. O. T. C. boys were permitted to play in the band. When Mr. Gum came to Chrisman as principal two years later, girls were allowed to play, thus making it an all school band. At the end of the first semester in 1941, Mr. Martin left, and Mr. Waldemer Meyer took over the band leadership for the rest of the year, after which he also left to join the army. During 1942 and the first half of 1943, Miss lessie Smith acted as band leader. Mr. Myron lohnson, who has been the William Chrisman band director for a year Gnd a half, has done a very outstandinQ Diece of work. This year William Chrisman has had a sixty-seven piece band consisting of thirteen Clarinets one bass clarinet six flutes one Dlccolo eighteen cornets four horns seven trombones, two baritone horns, six saxo- phones, three basses, and six percussions. The band has played for all the home foot- ball and basketball games, and marched in several parades, including the one on Armis- tice Day. The band took part in the spring concert, played several pieces on an assem- bly program, and Worked hard preparing numbers for the district contest at Baytown, which was called off because of present War- time traveling conditions. This year the band elected officers which were as follows: president, Kenneth Schow- engerdt: vice president, Marvin Kimseyg sec- retary and treasurer, Ronald Forknerg and li- brarian ,the one who takes care of the music, Dorothy l-lays. Donald Haney, the student director, and Wilma 1-lighley, the band's drum maiorette, did very commendable work during the past year 1 11 1 11 1 1 1 1 11 11 1 1 11 1 11 11 111 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 111 11 1 11 1 .11 1 t 1 1 1 1 1 1 1. 1.

Lf:-A-L OFFICER The selection of a Sponsor Colonel to represent our B. O. T. C. unit has become well established tradition at Wjlljqm Chrisman. This year the usual excite- ment over the election was greatly inten- sified when a committee of senior cadet officers announced that in addition to a Sponsor Colonel two other girls would be chosen to act as Sponsor Majors. The idea of commissioning two more sponsors was first decided upon early in the school year when our corps was organized into a streamlined reg'ment consisting of two batallions. These Sponsor Majors were to be selected as representatives of the battalions. Miss Kathleen Norris was chosen as Sponsor Colonel and Miss jean Byrne and Miss Ruth Cavanah, as Sponsor Majors. Miss Norris and her assistants hold one of the highest honors that Chrisman offers. She and Byron Stewart, Ir., Cadet Lieu- tenant Colonel, led the Grand March at the B. O. T. C. Ball In the Corps, the regimental headquar- ters command group was composed of the regimental commander, Cadet Lt. Colonel Byron Stewart and his staff. The staff con- sisted of four officers: Cadet Major Paul Nagel, V first Battalion Commander and FLAG RAISING Hughes and Captain Mark Handley, re- spectively.

HO ECOIVIING FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY The I944 grid season marked the fortieth anniversary since eleven staunch and stal- wart young men first took to the field to do or die for good old Independence. It was back in 1904 when the first football team was organized among the students at what was then the Independence High School. This anniversary was appropriately ob- served between the halves of the Chrisman- De La Salle Homecoming Game. A brief resume of the team s history was given through the public address system to one of the largest crowds ever to pack the Athletic Stadium. Three members of the first team were introduced to the spectators. Mr. Mor- ton Chiles, who was Captain and Manager of the l904 team and had played left half- backg Mr. Lee Crrinter, who held down the right tackle spot: and the first left guard, Mr. Earl Gibson. Also introduced were other prominent members of Chrisman teams of the past. As is the custom the crowning of the foot- ball queen also took place homecoming night. It was a very impressive an-cl color- ful sight as the young lady chosen by the football squad as their queen was crowned before the audience. Loni Land reigned as homecoming queen of the 1944 season. Her attendants were Kathleen Norris and Pat Brown seniors' Pat Ramsey and Kay Turner juniors. The Co-Captains, Fred Thompson and Ver- non Crump crowned the queen and pre- sented her with flowers in the colorful scene. Other members of the team, Stu Tisdale, Paul Buley, Clarence Weatherford, and Cork Daniel escorted the attendants. These two events made the IQ44 Home- coming one of the finest in our school's his- tory. Both of the ceremonies will long be remembered by Chrisrnanites.

Those Bears who played their last season for Chrisrnan were: Weatherford, Fields, Thompson, Castle, Ruley, Crump, Hughes, I-ledden, Roberts, Stonger, Phillips, Sampson, Cramer, Green, Fenson, Speck, and Holder. I These seniors, along with the underclassmen, constituted one of the best grid teams that Chrisman has produced. The season was an outstanding success: the Bears winning seven, tying one, and losing two. The Haskell tussel was the only instance in which the opposition outclassed the Bears. 80 .1..':1.-H:..r-Q7 11552.f.::.17:41:::.ueQQC-A--232YSJ'C:.!.:1:u:.ua-.wQ--lIL.l2:.:::':m-0aq-Aw1QLi-21'iflE':::::m-e-31.Il5L,I4.:2:vs-QL--.-S.illJL,'.-S. . ..L1,:: ww.-.-.,.Q,Z1'.Ili:.'::-..:-.weft-L--. ..L-42?

There were class tournaments in which each class was divided into teams. Base- ball, volleyball ,and basketball are a good example of this type of competition. There were no noon hour tournaments between the classes this year because of the new double lunch period., The gym letter test was looked forward to with the usual amount of enthusiasm and desire to break the old records. The records are held by the following boys: 65 pull-ups, Iames Weatherford of '427 100-yard dash in l2f,5 seconds, Kenneth Savage of '42p stand. jump 9 feet 3 l-2 inches, Albert Wells of '43:'60-yard hurdles in 8 seconds, Kenneth Savage of '42g 3l5-yard run in 42.8 seconds, il-larold Savage in '44p rope climb 3.5 sec. onds, Iames Weatherford of '42, 96 push-ups, Robert Murdock of '42y high jump 66 inches, Kenneth Savage of '42g 8-round shot put 51 feet, Charles Siegfried of '375 5010 deep knee bends, Raymond Lesh of '44. I The gym letter test was started in 1930 by Mr. French, who is still the physical educa- tion teacher at Chrisman. ln its fifteen years of existence there hasn't been a year that at least one of the records has not been broken. It has been proved again this year that the spirts and activities that have been practiced during the course of the year turn out, not only strong bodies, but better abled minds as well. Returning service men say that their par- ticipation in the gym classes made their training easier. .

Our country needs us strong, and the opportunities of de- veloping physical fitness are used to an ad- vantage in girls' gym. A student may also build a better character in the participation of competitive games and through general lessons in good sportsmanship. A girl's per- sonality may be developed as classmates form closer friendships in relations through sports activities. Teamwork and co-opera- tion are stressed. Gym is also a period of relaxation and play. Chrismarfs new girls' physical education instructor this year is Miss Georgia Kimsey. Under her capable guidance, the gym stu- dents have taken part in three major sports each semester, baseball, which is played at the campus, volley ball, and basketball. The latter is probably the favorite of all the other games. For each sport, basic rules are fol- lowed, and drills are held. The girls try to develop speed, accuracy, and skill in plt lt is each class member's desire to be chos at the end of the six weeks to play in ' intramural contests on her class team. The tournaments are looked forward to with gn excitement and preparation. Games a practices are held after school. The wini of the intramural tournament then plays 1 M Club. lt is every team's goal to deff the M Club. This feat has not been 1 complished. lrraddition to the three major sports, the are many other minor games and activit: enjoyed by the gym students.

Since l925 when the club was first organ- ized, to become a member has been the de- sire of many Chrisman girls. To become a member a girl must first earn an M, Mis- souri state girl's athletic letter, royal blue color, awarded by the State Department of Education. Winning a letter is based upon ability to earn a thousand points in athletics, based upon scholarship, athletic ability, and sportsmanship. A health examination must also be passed. Then after a girl is initiated, she may become a member of the M club. The next goal is to earn a super M let- ter, gold in color, which is awarded to those students who have won the regular letter andl 'in addition earned fifteen hundred points. Dorothy -Eastwood ,A-' Betty Thomas, and Frances Noland received super M's this year. Gym class teams play the M Club in intramural tournaments of baseball, volley ball, and basketball. lf a gym class team defeats the club, each team member earns a large C .

Membership is open to any pupil in William Chrisman upon payment of dues. The executive board, which plans the ac- tivities of the club, is comprised of the six cheer leaders. They are limmy Gold, Pat Ramsey, Henry lnouye, Addie Reichling, Robin Lund, and Loni Land. Miss Ada Kim- Sey, physical education teacher, and Miss Ellis Clement, physics, and aeronautics teacher, sponsor the group and advise the executive board. . When his dues are paid, each new mem- ber receives a miniature, blue meQICiD1'1O1'1e with a gold C on it, a gold topper, and Cf letter. These remain the property Of the Club until the member is a senior. Every member Of the Pep Club is admitted to sports fetes at reduced rates. The club forms an organized cheering sec- tion at all the athletic events. A pep rally was held on October 26. The club planned the programf All who attended marched from the school through the square to the campus Where a huge bonfire was burning. The cheer leaders led snake dances, yells, and songs around the fire. Several new yells were introduced to the students by the cheer leaders in the Friday assemblies. They also had a new routine of leading the yells. During the half at the Homecoming game, the football queen, Loni Land, was crowned. Pep Club members assumed various forma- tions on the field in celebration of the event and made an aisle for the queen to walk down. The club worked with the social committee of the student council to make the Homecoming dance a success. . , ,V M., H- , v , . s.-1-,.,.f.,,m..,,.-.:L,.LL:1:.m,s.m2C....4., :-..L:: 1- 1-wliilfl.-,:.: -:-::f:::l , 1-1. ...7g::.:.'ff-1-.tr-rf.. .-j - -.

Some of the special events of the society this year were: the very colorful Shake- spearean dance, which was held at the Eagle's Hall: the Inter-Society Assembly: the Inter-Society Dance, which was held April 14, the Mothers' Tea: and the annual Senior Banquet. Another annual event presented was the Christmas Party at which Barbara Chapman was the hostess.

AS-YOU-LIKE-IT DRAMATIC C Loyalty, service to the school, and a high scholastic standing are the standards which a girl must attain in order to become a mem- ber of the As-You-Like-lt Dramatic Club. The club was organized in l92O for the purpose of developing dramatic art. The highlight ot this year's activities was the celebration of the twenty-fifth birthday of the club. The annual Christmas Tea was combined with the Anniversary Tea and was held on December 22 in the music room. All old members received invitations and oi the seventeen charter members, we were tor- tunate to have one in our midst. ln the front of the room was a large basket of twenty-tive roses which was sent by the Shakespearean Literary Society.

THE RT CLUB The desire to improve as Art students, as well as to render more efficient service to Chrisman, led to the organization of the Art Club in 1932. . Two special field trips were much enjoyed this year, visits to the Nelson Art Gallery and to Robert Tindall's Art Studio. Mr. Tin- dall generously talked on Composition, and displayed a large collection of paint- ings. Another event of unusual interest was a visit of Lt. William Mcliim, a charter mem- ber, home on furlough after two years' serv- ice in the Pacific. Lt. McKim told of his ex- periences, displayed sketches and paintings made while in service, discussed and illus- trated methods of --composition and painting. In Red Cross Service our members made fifteen hundred menu covers and cards for the holidays, filled some gift boxes for chil- dren over seas and wounded soldiers in hos- Ditals, also made sixty stationery portfolios. In February-entries were sent to the Schol- astic Regional Exhibit at Emery, Bird, Thayer. Richard Neas won first and second place in Fashion Illustration, also second in Photography. Bob Smith received first in Drawing Inks, and third in Costume Design. Richard Neas won first place in the National Scholastic Contest: Fashion Drawing, twen- ty-five dollars award.

All students having average or above grades in Spanish are eligible for membership. The members study the people and culture of Latin Amer- ica and have a chance to practice the lan- guage in their meetings. The club was organized twenty-five years ago to give Spanish students a chance to better appreciate the country they study about in their classes. At one of the early meetings, Miss Louise MacDonald of the faculty spoke on her trip to Mexico and brought many souvenirs for her audience to see. Among these were miniature animals and other works of intri- cate design. Another outstanding program of the year was an illustrated lecture on Mexico by Mrs. Emil Lefman. She brought many examples of clothing and dress of South America. She had several dolls completely outfitted in Latin style and various articles of real cloth- ing, as Well as a collection of miniature baskets and other examples of Latin handi- craft. Officers for the year were Howard DoWnS, presidentp Virginia Gard, vice-presidentp and Marilou Myers, secretary-treasurer. Pat Brown was president second semester. The vice-president serves as program chairman and is responsible for the excellent pro- grams. One of the favorite features of any pro- prarn is group singing of well known Span- ish songs. Students learn these in the class- room and find them one of the most enjoy- able Ways of studying Spanish culture. Spanish students recognize the opportuni- ties open to them in South America and ap- preciate the chance they have in their classes and club work to prepare for a color- ful future.

Taylor, Chapin Cook Parrish Austin In WILDLIFE CONSERVATIO CLUB Members are interested in the out-of-doors. They give time and effort to activities and studies dealing with conservation of natural resources. They know that unless our soil, Waters, and wildlife are managed intelli- gently, there will be less to enjoy. Outdoor activities center around the man- agement of an experimental wildlife sanctu- ary, located around the Dickinson's Lakes. Members follow nature hobbies, stimu- lated by field trips to the Wildlife area: con- struction and use of electric nature Games Cto help in identifying plants and animalsl: reading, tests on birds, trees, flowers, etc.: handing of birds, and nature trail work. The plans of the Club for the spring of 1945 are: Martin House-to construct Gnd Place on poles, three two-story apartment houses. One on the refuge: one iuSi West Of the shelter house at Slover Park: and one on the Grounds at Chrisman. Bluebird House and Wren House Committee-to see that the houses made by the biology students are placed around the refuge. Spring and Poster -digging out and cleaning the spring which feeds the marsh area, posting no hunting signs. Projects completed this year individually are: feeding of winter birds: making of bird traps and housesg banding of birds for the Federal Government, planting of trees, shrubs, and vines for wildlife food and shel- ter, and for soil erosion control. ,The most successful project of the past season was the birdhouse study. Half of the houses were destroyed by vandals, but over l5U young birds left their houses success- fully, Wearing small aluminum bracelets with numbers. The Club hopes to hear from them, when they get in other banders' traps.

LIBRARY CLUB . . The Library Club. was organized a few years 'ago for the purpose of improving the work of the librarian's assistants. Member ship is limited- to those who are bona-fide workers in the library. Any student may work in the library who has an M average and shows aptitude for the work. Different members of the club work in the library from eight fifteen in the morning until four fifteen in the afternoon on school days under the direction of the librarian, Miss Lola Wilkin. They serve students at the library desk and are always qlad to search for wanted material. Dusting books, -keeping them in order, and repairing them is a big task. Over eighty-four hundred books cata- loged in the library are kept in order accord- ing to the Dewey System of Decimal Classi- fication. Four hundred new books were cataloged this year. A file of college bulle- tins and scholarships and a file of clippings and pamphlets must also be ke ing up on students with books also part of their job. First semester club officers w dent, Lois Young, vice-president, f arty secretary-treasurer, Earlinf Second semester officers were: loyce Worrel, vice-president, Be secretary-treasurer, Mildred Smit lacqueline Tull.

CIENCE CLUB The William Chrisman chapter of the Sci- ence Clubs of America was established in 1943 under the direction of the co-sponsors, Miss Clement and Miss Witthar. The Science Club was organized to assist its members in learning more about science and to further develop scientific talent. The twenty-four members of this year's club meet every first and third Wednesday of each month. They selected as their presi- dent, Byron Stewart: as vice-president, Marla Handley: as secretary-treasurer, lean Nagel, and as reporter Warren Weston. Miss Clement and Miss Witthar are the co- Sponsors again this year and are doing an excellent Work in helping to further science among the students. A major project of the club was the Sci- ence Talent Search. Six of Chrisman's club members entered the contest. They were! Dorothy Boyer, Mark Handley, TOIHIHY Fisher, Finis Easter, lean Nagel, and Robert Russell. The purpose of the search is to dis- cover and help develop scientific talent that will be of value to the nation in war or peace. The requirements were that each contestant should take a three hour aptitude test furnished by Westinghouse, he must Write a one-thousand word essay on My Scientific Project, he must have a good scholastic record, the recommendations of several teachers, and he must show the ability of leadership. There were many stu- dents throughout the country who entered the contest. Two contestants from Chrisman received honoroble mentions. They were Dorothy Boyer and Mark Handley. Other projects of the Science Club were learning about some of the scientific work of the F. B. l., studying microscopic slides, a field trip to the Municipal Airport, laboratory experiments, and other scientific projects. The members also received Science Clubs of America Pins. 1 l TOP ROW: Payton, 'Fountain, Dishong, Bessmer, B. Mitchell, M. Hughes.

MONITOR At the first of this year, when everything wasa turmoil anyway, the intricate traffic problems in the halls of Chrisman added ma- terially to the already advanced confusion. Before long, this problem grew so pressing that something had to be done. As usual, this job, that nobody wanted, fell on the capable shoulders of Captain Morris. Although the Captain was very busy with his own work, he graciously con- sented to organize a hall monitor system. The first thing was to decide what system should be used, in handling the problem. lt was finally decided to have boys posted at the crowded points to keep the traffic moving in the right direction. I . Captain Morris called for volunteers and very soon thirty boys were on the extra duty roster. A schedule was made out stating that each boy should preside over a certain post at a certain period each day. There were extra men to be put on duty in case of an absence in the regular ranks. These boys were put in charge of the Pi. O. T. C. Provost Marshal, Lieutenant Finis Easter. These boys have one of the thankless iobs of Chrisman. They have no insignia, re- ceive no reward for their work, and are armed only with courtesy. These boys are glad to help in the time saving work of regu- lating traffic. It would- be possible and practical to use the monitors to direct traffic in case of fire or an air raid, so they are performing a val- uable service. Captain Morris hopes to make it possible for the monitors to receive activity points for their monotonous work, and it is hoped that the 'boys may wear arm- ba-nds in the future. ' A J I. T. wr-in - E joHN PARRISH Rossa PARRISH THE STAGE CREW The unsung heroes of every play and as- sembly at Chrisman are the boys of the stage crew. They work long and hard, with little reward. During the three or four weeks before a major production is presented, they work day and night, even on Sundays. These martyrs to the cause of entertain- ment include: john Parrish and Roger Par- rish, stage managers: I. T. White and Bryce Ehmke, technicians. To them fall all the problems of setting up scenery, stringing any special lights, adjusting all the various cur- tains and lights of the stage, making sound effects, and finally, the buying, borrowing, or making of individual stage properties. With the long list of productions to be pre- sented during the year, the poor stage crew has little rest. This year they have set up The lunior High Nights Out, the Speech Play, Murder Has Been Arranged : The junior play Thumbs Up ' the ODGTQHU Pickles p the junior Dramatic Play, That Crazy Smith Pamilyu: the senior play, Come Rain or Shine g the One-Act Plays, the sophomore play, A Ready Made Fam- ily, and over twenty-five assemblies. lt's not all Work, though. They have a lot of fun preparing for a play, but they're glad when it's over. When the preparations are completed, these gallant Cavaliers of the ropeiand switch brigade go down to Iohn's and celebrate with cokes and potato chips, but the play cast usually pounces the re- freshments. The new white coveralls the boys bought add an official atmosphere to the backstage festivities, besides keeping their clothes clean. The boys become members of the Thes- pian group after two major productions and receive four activity points for the year's work I II . y I . 103 PEECH PLAY On December l4 and 15, the Chrisman speech department gave its annual three- act play. This year the group selected a murder-farce, A Murder l-las Been Ar- ranged by Emlyn Williams. The plot of this play was unique and the staging unusual. lt centered around the ec- centric author, Sir Charles Iasper and his young wife, Beatrice. It seems that Sir Charles's two million dollar inheritance, which was to be his at midnight of his forti- eth birthday, was shadowed only by the possible arrival of the other living heir, Mau- rice Mullins. However, Sir Charles gave a celebration in which the guests present dressed as ghosts of history. The plot thickens when it is learned that an unidentified man was murdered a short while ago on the exact stage of the festivi- ties. Therefore, according to Sir Charles's theory on the occult in England a dumb S. MYERS, STEWART, BLANK, GAB woman would appear on the night of the murder, and, if she regained her speech, the ghost of the murdered man would appear. Maurice Mullins does make his appear- ance and claims his share of the fortune with the cunning aid of Miss Groze, Sir Charles's private secretary. The events which follow are surprising since it is Sir Charles who is finally slain and in this inconvenient way misses the climax of the evening which comes in the form of a ghost roaming the stage pfeceded by the dumb woman. The wandering spirit is none other than Sir Charles himself, since Mr. Mullins has clev- erly awarded himself the fortune by poison- ing his rich relative. The capable cast included: Mary Lee Blank, Howard Downs, Pat Gabriel, Don Hanley, Glenna lacobs, Delores LeMasters, Shirley Myers, Paul Nagel, Bennie Olson, and Byron Stewart.

JUNIOR PL Y Thumbs Up, a lively three-act comedy, was chosen for the annual junior class pres- entation. The play was well received both nights, lanuary 25 and 26. The plot centers around the Kincaid fam- ily. Tex Kincaid, a typical high school junior, tHoward Downs? decides to pep up the town with a few choice handbills to help with the war effort. He enlists the aid of his buddy, Bump Watson Clames May and Lorin Stewartlp his kid sister, Bama CPat Bamseyp his older sister, Ida tlfrances l-leerl and a high school friend, Lucy tKay Turnerl. He and his underground do pep up the Old town but get themselves into no end of trouble. Exciting moments include Bump's encoun- ter with a dog, after which Bump fir1dS it necessary to borrow a pair of trousers from Tex: the scurrying when the high SCl'1OOl Principal, Miss Nichols CMarilou Myersl and Mrs. Kincaid tFae Abbottl unexpectedly re- turn while the gang is printing handbills on- the school mimeograph, Bama's getting caught and arrested, and the climax in- volving the leader of a black market or- ganization. The- well-chosen supporting cast con- sisted of: Mrs. Winkle, tDorothy Eastwood? the owner of the Kincaid residenceg Stanley Brightwell and Bill Hinde, who took the part oi Mr. Smith, who was an unscrupulus char- acter Che was the leader of the black mar- ketlg Milton Hughes and Doyle Erkenloeck, as Cal Kincaid, in the army, just back from overseas: Ioan Grenawalt, Virginia Gard, and Eleanor Campbell, who portrayed air- craft workers: and Polly Bohrs, as the mail man. The directors, Mrs. Mary Foster Williams and Mrs. Mary Duggan, Worked long hours with the cast, and they may be very proud of the results. t t STANDING: Wyatt, Gabriel, Myers, Handley, K.

C11HT1if1QI1'1Cim- SENIOR PLAY The graduating class of '45 gave as its final production Come Rain or Shine, a rol- licking comedy in three acts. The story of this selection Was highly amusing since it concerned real people in extremely likely situations. Young persons and their Way of doing things was the gen- eral theme. ' 1 The characterswere interesting and pre- sented striking contrasts. The cast was Well chosen and gave a convincing performance.

OPHO ORE PL Y .The long awaited annual sophomore play was presented on the nights of April l9 and 20. This play, entitled A Ready Made Fam- ily, was a rollicking comedy about a widow that wants to remarry. The only real obsta- cle is that her three children, Bob Martyn lftichard Howardl, Marilee Martyn CBetty Wernerl, and Gracie Martyn CPatsy Worrell, oppose her marriage. The part of Mrs. Mar- tyn was capably portrayed by Mary Cather- ine Boone.

MILITARY BALL The Pompous Grand March, the traditional highlight of the Ball, was a thrilling specta- cle with over two hundred cadets and their dates taking part. The March was led by Cadet Lt. Colonel Stewart and Sponsor Colo- nel Norris followed by Cadet Major Nagel and Sponsor Major Byrne and Cadet Major Cramer and Sponsor Major Cavannah. The Grand March was climaxed with the Cadets saluting while the orchestra played the national anthem. Then johnny Coon's band struck up a lively swing number, all liqhts were dimmed, and the icy formality was broken. This year the cadets planned CI program dance consisting of fourteen dances and an intermission. During the intermission Cadet Captain William Brizendine, Regimental Adjutant, in- troduced the distinguished guests, R. O. T, C. Cadet officers from Kansas City Units, our SDOnsors, our staff officers and company Commanders. The R. O. T. C. Hop as it is sometimes called, has grown to be one of the most im- portant social functions of the school year. Anticipated for months ahead of time, actual preparations for the ball began just three weeks before the ninth of March when com- mittees were 'selected to consider various problems connected with the dance. The chairman of these committees were as fol- lows: orchestra, Cadet Captain William De- Pughp building, Cadet Lt. Colonel Stewart: decorations, Cadet First Lt. Harry Viethg re- freshments, Cadet Major Robert Cramer: in- vitations, Cadet Captain Mark Handley. More than half the enjoyment of the Ball came from discussing and Working out the many details involved. Everyone had his share of the job to do and the willing co- operation that resulted revealed the enthusi- asm of all cadets and proved a major factor for the splendid success of the William Chris- man tenth annual Military Ball. OCI L HOURS ' This year Chrismanites have been tur- nished many forms of entertainment to fill theirleisure time at noon, after school, and in the evening. Because of the divided noon hour, there was no entertainment for the students until sociation sponsored mixers in the boys gym. They also chaperoned the dances after the basketball games, but for convenience these mixers were held at the Memorial Building, Sgt. George 'Richter arranged the B. O, T. C. practice mixers in the girls' gym during the second semester. Then the Social Com- mittee of the Student Council installed Game rooms. Study hall and room ll2 were used for students who Wanted to play such games as cards, checkers, and finance. W' ith the help of the Pep Club, the Social Committee planned the Homecoming Dance which was held after the football game with De La Salle Academy. Max McCarty's Band played for the dancers in the boys' gym. It was decorated with blue and gold streamers: and apples in bushel baskets were served as refreshments. After the rest oi the football games, the Parent Teacher As- the Week before the military ball. The pur- pose oi these special mixers was to help the' cadets with their dancing so they could fully enjoy the R. O. T. C. Ball. Due to the lack oi suitable places for high school people to go, Teen Town Was intro: duced last year as a recreation center. This was a new idea in Independence, and has proved very successful. , The project is backed by leading civic organizations. Ad- mittance tickets are purchased at the begin- ning of the school year for one dollar. Stu- dents gather every Saturday night in the Memorial Building to dance, play games, or eat hot dogs and drink pop.

Flying high up in the sky. But others say it shines on lanes, For lovers passing by. I guess we'll never know jusy why It shines up there so bright, Except God put it in the sky To light the heavens at night. Marjorie Smith '45 THOUGHTS IN A FOXHOLE During a lull in the firing and the storm of noise Thoughts drift homeward Of the faithful old dog, a rattletrap car, ' Saturday night movies, or the corner drug store, Of anything that seems like home. These memories seem a million miles away, Some will never see the -friendly things of home again Still many more will, But before they are back with their homes and friends There will be many more thoughts in a foxhole.

E NORTH DOOR ' FOUR STARS 'Twas but a small house For all the family: But now it is a big house, Having lost its glee. In the window of that house Hangs a flag with four stars, They stand for four happy boys Who went away so very far. The boys said they. had to do their share And keep our flag flying high So three joined the Army and one the Navy, Now they are filled with joy and pride. Yes, they're fighting for freedom And they'll win it too. They'll fight for our country And keep it free for me and you. If possible, Lord, up in the sky, Hurry and granttmy prayer- Bring them back from the front And keep them safe who're over there. Rosalie Riseman '45 FOOTBALL Poets like to write of spring, Sun and flowers and birds that sing, But my favorite time of all - ls the crisp 'days of the fall. Even then it's not the weather That makes me prefer it, rather It's my favorite of all 'Cause it's the season for football. October's known for bright blue weather As for me I don't care whether October is blue or gray If I play football every day, Winn Seroy '47 RAIN I stood beneath the dripping tree: As all the rain dripped down on me, Standing like a statue, silent, and still: I watched the rain trickle down a hill, Dark and gloomy was the sky: A small, stooped farmer passed me by, The farmer smiled, and I smiled backy And suddenly the world seemed not so black. Patches of the sky began to turn blue And the sun o'er the clouds began to shine through, Is this what Mother Nature can bring? This beauty that makes the Whole World sing? Then why do we rave, and argue, and fuss, This is just another beautiful thing God has given us Iill Bryant '47 TI-IE BALL Mother, ls the hem fixed? Now where are my flowers? Please hurry, l've just half an hour. Oh gee! The bell! Bob, you're early Now, mother, don't worry We'll have fun and arrive home soon- After one. Pauline Cramer '47 GLOOM PASSES AWAY When darkness settles over me And there's not a ray of light I'll lift my head to God on High And I'll pray for what is right. Then the gloom will turn to sunshine And the night will turn to day Have faith in the One who loves you And the darkness goes away. Teddy Schulze '47 Eagle Great and mighty, Soaring through the heavens As if searching for adventures in the Unknown. Dorothy Ienkins '47 The snow White and glist'ning.

The very first day of school. Then swiftly and sometimes slowly, The months move to a close. The seniors will soon leave Never to return to the ranks of Chrismcm. Our boys marching of'f to the battlefield. Boys who once filled these dear old halls with laughter. Boys who brought honor and glory to their school. ln track, basketball, football. The girls leaving to become women of the world. Girls who helped Chrisman to keep her high ideals. Happy, carefree girls who chattered gayly in her lofty heights. Memories of Chrisman Will always linger in their hearts. When each goes forth into the world his thoughts will turn back- Back to the happy days spent in good old Chrisman. Next year we will be among those forgotten students. Betty McDonald '45 Autographs 1 r Autographs Autographs 399 6 sy , fi i 4 l 3 sg, ?
