Dangerous reefs and perilous seas lie in its course, but beyond the wide horizon are still waters and safe port. Ever receding, ever beckoning, is the gleam by which the course is charted, Mariners on these Waters follow the gleam and in their wake come other voyageurs. How necessary then that their courage be great, their hopes high, their course true. How fortunate for later mariners if the voyage be well charted. To Chrisman's mariners, Whose voyage now has ended and Whose ships are anchored in safe havens, to Chrisman's followers of the Gleamf' We give this book in loving dedica- tion. 4 5 Mr. W. E. Matthews Four members of the faculty and staff personnel of William Chrisman have died in the past year. Superintendent W. E. Matthews, whose administration was marked by its long- range policies and the maintenance of maximum school efficiency, departed this life at the beginning of his ninth year in the Independence School System. Miss Emina Hill, who taught Iunior English and Senior Literature, and whose enthusias- tic and inspiring sponsorship is missed by the Art Club and the Art Honor Society, had been in the Independence School System for almost forty years. I Miss Frances Kreeger, who had been in the Independence system for a score of years, and who taught mathematics in William Chrisman for almost nine years, was co-sponsor of the As-You-Like-It Dramatic Society and is remembered for her smiling face and lovely man- ner. Mrs. Mae De Schazo, who had, for almost a quarter century, been in charge of the at- tendance records, passed away near the middle of the term after a long illness. These are remembered for their inspiring guidance, and for their beneficent influence on our lives. 5 Southeast H011-Second Floor H William Chrisrncm-Northwest View fqwiaqaapha ng . .IZ Z.

Mr. lohn Luff The Board of Education is the legislative body of the lndependence School System. ln it is vested final author- ity in the formulation of school policy, employment of teachers and other personnel, and in the management of school finance. Present members of the board are Mr. Iohn Luff, Presi- dentg Dr. Floyd Yaleg Mrs. Adron Randall: Mrs. Howard Hindeg Mr. lohn A. Beckerg Miss Katie Chastain, Secretary- Treasurer. New members of the board for l947-l948 are Mr. Eugene Theiss and Mr. Marvin Carl. We wish to express our appreciation to the board for the many hours they spend in planning for the welfare of Independence schools. lU The entire school system of lnde- pendence felt very keenly the loss of its executive head in the sudden death of Superintendent W. E. Matthews. Dur- ing the decade during which he had been superintendent, Mr. Matthews had been tireless in his efforts to promote the educational welfare of Independ- ence youth. 'We feel that we are fortu- nate to have as our present adminis- trative head a man who can continue the wozk of his predecessor and render in turn a service equally worthy. lnde- pendence welcomes Superintendent Lowell Glendon Keith. Mr. Keith comes to us frcm Spartanburg, South Carolina, where he held the position of Co-ordi- nator of Instruction or the assistant superintendency. Mrs. Mildred Kearnes Mr. L. G. Keith The first duty of a superintendent is to act as the executive of- ficer of the Board of Education, a duty which does not preclude the formulating of both legislative and administrative policies. His next is to co-ordinate the educational programs of the elemen- tary, intermediate, junior and senior high schools, and to see that the best possible workmanship prevails throughout the school system. Finally he must anticipate the demands the future will make upon the schools and plan the means by which these needs can be met. All of these major tasks and the multitudinous minor ones current in all school systems, we entrust to Mr. Keith, know- ing that he will discharge them creditably. We may safely embark on the voyage into the future, and, ably piloted, follow the gleam to a better understanding of our- selves and worthy accomplishment in all routes of endeavor. ll 2 ' encfenl' Mr. I. N. Hanthorn, who has served Wil- liam Chrisman for almost a quarter century and who instituted the student government of which we are so proud, is always ready to offer sympathetic understanding and wise counsel to those who find their way to his of- fice in the Iunior High Building. Mr. Hanthorn's training, which has a wide range, was secured at the State Teachers College at Warrensburg, the Uni- t versity of Missouri, and at Columbia Uni- versity in New York City, where he received his graduate degree. He spent several years ' as a teacher in Missouri schools before he came to Independence. Mr. I. N. Hanthorn Mr. Hanthorn served as principal of Chrisrnan from 1924 to 1941, and was then made Assistant Superintendent. After the death of Superintendent W. E. Matthews and before the election of the new superintendent, Mr. L. G. Keith, Mr. Hanthorn filled the office of Superin- tendent in addition to carrying on the work of his own office, doing very capable work at the double task. ' His duties as Assistant Superintendent include keeping the school census, the files of which list everyone between the ages of six and nineteen inclusive in the Independence Dis- trict, issuing work permits and supplying the certification of age from the school records for people who need it in order to obtain birth certificates. He also assists in compiling the superintendent's annual report, in conducting the campaign for school Welfare, and in substi- tuting when the regular teacher is ill. His greatest service is in the noble inspiration and the wise and benevolent influence he exerts upon teachers and students alike. 12 The administrative head of the faculty and student body of William Chrisman is our affable principal, Mr. Iesse H. Stinson. This is Mr. Stinson's second year at Chris- man, but early in his tenure, his friendli- ness, his executive ability, and his interest in scholastic achievement became ap- parent. Mr. Jesse H. Stinson Mr. Stinson graduated from high school at Clarence, Missouri. He attended the North- east State Teachers College at Kirksville, Missouri, being graduated with a Bachelor of Sci- ence degree. He obtained his Master's degree in secondary school administration from the University of Missouri, where he has also taken additional graduate work. Mr. Stinson's career as a teacher began in Hopper Rural school near Clarence, Missouri. lt includes positions in Henry Ford Trade School, Highland Park, Michigan, and Cass Techni- cal High School, Detroit, Michigan, and administrative positions in various public schools of Missouri, including the principalship of the junior and senior high schools of Excelsior Springs, Missouri, before his coming to Independence. ln the two years in which Mr. Stinson has been our principal, he has served Chrisman well. With quiet ef- fiency he has effected numerous changes which have proved beneficial. Under Mr. Stinson's guidance in the future, We shall have a renewed emphasis on scholar- ship and a greater sense of achievement. ln his every effort to make William Chrisman a better school, We pledge our hearty co-operation. Mrs. Elizabeth Gentry is Mr. Stinson's able secretary.

To many, these are insignificant and soon forgotten, but to the class itself, they are of utmost importance. Today, the class of '47 gives to the school its history. As we look back now, we see ourselves entering Junior High, bewildered and trembling, and desperately seeking for a familiar face or a seemingly misplaced classroom. But as the days passed, we became accustomed to the new routine. We elected class officers and presented a play, MUMBO-IUMBO. The year soon passed, and we discovered we were no longer Freshmen, but Sopho- mores. Our dramatic presentation that year was a hilarious comedy, A READY-MADE FAMILY. During our Iunior year, many of our classmates were found to be excellent orators, de- baters, athletes, scientists, artists, and actors. Distinguished talent was exhibited in our very successful annual play, DON'T TAKE MY PENNY. Near the close of the year, we chose and ordered our class rings. As seniors, we returned to Chrisman full of anticipation, for this was to be our greatest, happiest year in high school. Our major eve nts were our play, CHARLEY'S AUNT, the Sen- ior poem, and commencement. The glorious adventure of high school will soon be over, but memories of each year will be cherished forever. Trophy Case 35 anim Lyle Bowman Nancy Maness Eugene Castle Patricia Mosier This year the lunior class progressed without mishap under the capable management of the eight officers elected to lead them in their second year at Chrisman. For the first semester the officers were Lyle Bowman, Presidentg Eugene Castle, Vice- Presidentg Nancy Maness, Secretaryg and Donna Campbell, Treasurer. The second semes- ter officers were Eugene Castle, President, Richard Slayton, Vice-President, Patty Mosier, Secretary, and Harry McGuire, Treasurer. These people have participated in many student affairs. Lyle Bowman played on the second football and basketball teams and was class president in both his Freshman and Sophomore years. Eugene Castle was vice-president in his Freshman, Sophomore, and lun- ior years and played on both the football and the basketball team. Nancy Maness was sec- retary of her class as a Sophomore and is a member of the As-You-Like-lt Dramatic Society. Donna Campbell, now serving her first term as class officer, is also a member of that society. Richard Slayton played on the first basketball team and was parliamentarian of the Stu- dent Council. This year was the third time Patty Mosier was elected secretary of her class. She is a member of the As-You-Like-lt Dramatic Society. Harry McGuire is a member cf Chrisman's swing band and on the literary staff of the GLEAM. These junior officers are responsible for much of the success of the Iunior-Senior Recep- tion in addition to their primary duty of providing for their class members enthusiastic and responsible leadership. 36 unload I I f r l 'f-if l ., kl lk i , , b,t ,, t Vi t r I 11'-M skklin I I t I 1 :lk I fi F A 4 , il., t H f SELF my .Q I sf ev- t ,, keg , ,,,o . is ffl I 5 I vJ'21' 'f r i I ,,.1.-' I lg I All .1- I 'i :IA I 'A if , I ,lf ji to i . fi? f A ' 5 I7 1V Q I W ' if J -,': E - ' 5. .,,,i wi , iw WV iiz .,.,,..A..

To all members, the year offered many opportunities for pleasure and profit' able endeavor: but to the more thoughtful ones, the junior year had a special appeal. Hav- ing served their novitiate the preceding year, luniors could now expect to become full-fledged members ot debate, football and basketball teams, leaders in various clubs, and members of societies open only to luniors and Seniors. 'There was all this, with the added knowledge that there was yet ahead another glorious year at Chrisman. Outstanding in speech and dramatic activities were Robert Southern, Ieanne Straw- haoker, Iames Gregg, William Patterson, Robert Ganson, Monte Miller. ln sports the class furnished Gregg Heide, Richard Slayton, George Binger, and Gene Castle on the regular line-up. ln music these were outstanding: Robert Sparks, Muriel Schandori, Roberta Maness, Thomas Zang, Barbara Wurthg in club activities Rosalie Dowell, Mary Katherine Fisher, Gayle Brunson, Patricia DeLapp, Sue lane Dempsey, Eleanor Chaney, Donna Fae Miller, Nancy Maness, Sara Robbins, Marcia Varde-man, Beverly Scott, loan Briggs, Alberta Hamil- tonri' Frances Barnhardt, Patty Gold, Mary Thatcher, Ann Williams, Peggy VanLoon, Betty De ray. U E One of the outstanding dramatic productions of the year was THE FIGHTING LITTLES, which was the lunior class play. The year has been a happy one, and luniors have taken their place in all phases of school lite and served there with credit. They have been earnest apprentices and good journeymen. When the tall months open on their Senior year, the class, as master workmen, will continue their endeavors. We are certain the year will be a profitable one. William Chrisman, Maple Street Entrance 43 Sapfwmme Gian Uffzceu Bill Bundsvhu Patricia Honey Allen Slayton Ruth Ward The Sophmore class entered Chrisman with tour very capable class officers at its helm. The President, Stanley Leonard, was prominent in many' clubs in lunior Hiah, among them the lunior Dramatics Players, the William Penn Club, and the Hi-Y Club, The Vice-President, Roy Mathews, and the Secretary, Patty Fredenburq, were also members of the lunior Dra- matics Players. Nadine Cramer, the Treasurer, was a member ot the lunior Dramatics Players, and a member ot the William Penn Club. The cheer leaders, Charlene Thompson and Donald lnouye, were members ot the lunior Dramatics Players, and Donald carried the male lead in that club's three-act play, l-lere Comes the Prince, durina the freshman year. Under the able leadership of those students, the Sophomore class has already shown that it has great talents and abilities. lts record in the future should be enviable.

Iunior high's many clubs gave them an opportunity to express themselves in many ways, and also to gain much knowledge not acquired in the regular curriculum. Upon its entrance in William Chrisman, the class numbered more than four-hundred- fifty. Three glorious years in senior high were before them. After school had been in session for a few weeks, it became apparent that the class possessed all the talents it had shown promise of during the freshman year. Several stu- dents entered speech and dramatic activities and became members of football, basketball, and track squads, promising Chrisman ample material for Winning teams in the future. Others were initiated into various societies and joined various clubs. Still others entered the spring contests in science, poetry, and music. In all they acquitted themselves creditably. Finally, it was evident that the class of nearly five hundred would rank high scholastically and that competition for honor society membership would be keen the next year. At the close of school, the class could look back to its past year with approval and forward to its junior year with anticipation. 53 Pep Rullv At the Game Boogie Mun HE Cheer Lenders 54 The Band Hot Dogs, How Mcmv?

The first football team was organized in l9U4. Each year some particular game is designated as the home-coming game, and a football que en, chosen by the football squad, is crowned. The anniversary was appropriately obser ved between the halves of the Chrisman - De La Salle game, October 24, in which Chrisman was forced to bow to her opponent. Virginia Al- len, reigned as home-coming queen. Her attendants were Eleanor Carlson, Dorothy lohnson-, Nell Compton, and Guin Lidke. The co-captains, Bob Horne and Carl Crenshaw, crowned the queen with a Wreath of baby mums and presented her with a beautiful bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums. Vir- ginia and each of her attendants received corsages of mums, The queen was escorted by the co-captains, and Guin, Nell, Dorothy, and Eleanor were escorted by other members of the team, Paducah Griffin, Francis Rogers, lames Russell, and Bud West, respectively. This event, one of the most impressive and colorful of the year, will long be remembered by Chrismanites. 57 The Seance gpm ww, Suspense hovered over the audience at the Chrisman Auditorium on the evenings of October 3l and November l, for the Speech D epartment of William Chrisman was presenting a murder mystery THE THIRTEENTH CHAIR.

Under the able direction of Miss Louise MacDonald and Miss Ellen Singleton, the cast presented a play which brought generous applause and the ample gate receipts which are to be used for the Iunior-Senior dance in May. Goody Little tBeverly Scott? and Ham Ellers Uimmie Gregg? are in love: but Goody is spoiled and Mr. Little, tBill Patterson? her father, doesn't like Ham. Goody then turns to her mother, Mrs. Little tNancy Lee Sewe1l?, who is always trying to keep peace among her chil- dren and their easily-angered father, but who manages somehow to get walked on in the process. A promising young business man down town, Norma Peel CVernon Kithcart?, pur- sues Goody and attempts to strike up a close friendship in order to get the assistance of Goody's father who is partner in the firm in which Norman would like to advance rapidly. Norman brings his aunt, Mrs. Harpeddle flea nne Strawhacker?, and one of her dancers, Miss Poloza, tFrances Barnhart?, to tea at the Littles and manages to fall in love with Goody's col- lege roommate Henrietta, CCBetty Hagan? who is spending the weekend with the Littles. Her problem son, Dicky Harpeddle CGene Atkins?, comes to tea, too, and starts pursuing An- tionette, CSarah Robbins? who is the one-and-o nly of the Littles' son Filmer, CRobert Ganson?. An eccentric aunt, Alita Filmer CMuriel Schandorf?, who lives with the Littles, lends comic interest as does the colored maid, Almantita, Cie an Pimblot? Two of Goody's girl friends, Cucoo and Screwball, tCorrine Martin and Donna Campbell? live up to their names, giving the audi- ence another glimpse of the teen-ager. The lunior class indeed deserves orchidsior such a fine production. 59 The Sponsors Are Presented 7!1e R. 0. 7 G. llfffllfliafuf Ed! On the evening of March 14, the Reserve Officers Training Corps were hosts at their twelfth annual Military Ball. This event is one of most important social functions of the year and every cadet in Chrisman looks forward to the night when he, shined up to perfection, can escort his girl to the Hop, This year's sponsors for the corps, who were elected by the popular vote of the cadets, were Cadet Sponsor Colonel Barbara Lund, escorted by Cadet Colonel Richard Andersen: Sponsor Lieutenant Colonel Norrine Norris, escorted by Cadet Lieutenant Colonel loe Taylor: and Sponsor Lieutenant Colonel Retta Desmond, escorted by Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Marvin Vanffirk. A Lieutenant Colonel L. T. Ulsalcer, commander of the corps, Mrs. Ulsaker, and cadet of- ficers and their dates stood in the receiving line. After the cadets had presented their guests, the band struck up a lively tune. Simultaneously, from streamer-draped doorways the officers and their guests marched to the arena floor. The officers executed an elaborate Cross Saber with perfection, They then initiated the Grand March, other cadets following with their girls. Over two hundred cadets and officers with their dates, marched past a crowded gal- lery in formations of two, four and six abreast, halting in lines of sixteen abreast facing the spectators. The Cadet Sponsors were then presented. As a grand finale, the band played THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER, the cadets and officers at salute. After the grand march, which was especially well executed, the couples danced under soft lights to the popular tunes of the day. 60 The Receiving Line The stage, on which the band was seated, had white silk backdrops across which were suspended the letters WCHS in sparkling green and silver. Gilt cross arms and torches adorned the front of the stage which Was draped in the corps colors, blue and gold, and bore in gilt the letters R. O. T. C. Crepe paper streamers draped the sides of the stage. Multi-colored streamers, extending from ceiling to gallery rail, decorated the dance hall itself. The ceiling lights were covered with colored filters and from the center fixture, colored lights from a revolving cracked-glass semi-sphere played on the dance floor. At the intermission, a crack Squad Drill was presented and the cadets executed the Queen's Manual. Assorted cookies and fruit punch were served to the dancers. The cadet officers and their dates took dinner at the Town House before the dance. Guests of the corps included Lieutenant Colonel and Mrs. Robert E. Edwards, Cadet Cap- tain Stewart lohnston, Mr. and Mrs. George Leslie DeLapp, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Barto, Superintendent and Mrs. L. G. Keith, Dr. and Mrs. Floyd Yale, Mr. and Mrs. I. H. Stinson, Mr. I. N. Hanthorn, Mr. and Mrs. Emmert Pair, and members of the faculty. This year as in the past, the R. O. T. C. ball proved to be one of the most enjoyable social functions of the year. The Cross Saber 6 l Shakespearean Society Tea Social Afcwna Toward the end of the 1945-1946 school year, the Parent-Teachers Association secured for the school a nickelodeon which has been placed in the boys' gym. During the noon hour and after some football and basketball games, mixers are held. These mixers have come to be more of a get-together and talk fest than a danceg but, either way, a good time is had by all. Now that the entire school is on one lunch period, the noon mixers are even more fun -the more the merrier. Two teachers are assigned to the mixer ea ch noon, and they cooperate with the students to make the mixers thoroughly enjoyable. Every Saturday night, from eight-thirty until eleven-thirty in the Memorial Hall, a local organization sponsors Teen-Town, which is the high spot of the week and always well-at- tended. These mixers and Teen-Towns are very helpful in choosing a good dancer for one's date for the R. O. T. C. Ball or any of the numerous other dances which occur during the school year. This year Chrisrnanites were quite fortunate in having a special Christmas dance, there was a lottery, with a Santa Claus to pass out the chocolates and the two grand prizes: a huge beautifully decorated Christmas tree, and a go od dance band. These social hours are enjoyed highly, and we are all in favor of their continuance. We wish to express our appreciation to the faculty, the Parent-Teachers Association, and the various organizations in Independence which have made these social hours possible. 62 anim - Swim R ' The forty-first annual lunior-Senior reception was help May l6 in the boys' gymnasium at William Chrisman High School. On this oc casion the Seniors are guests of the luniors who finance the party from the proceeds of the luni or Play. The decorations for the reception carried out the theme of an outdoor garden party. Flowers and shrubs blossomed suddenly from the black-lined, hardwood gymnasium floor and supersonic airplanes, cleverly fashioned of colored paper, soared busily under the plastered ceiling. Refreshments consisted of punch and cakes. Student chairmen who assisted with the plans and arrangements for the reception are Donna Campbell, decorations, Nancy Maness, refreshmentsg Patty Mosier, invitations. Faculty sponsors and officials for the luniors were Mrs. Mary Learnard, Mrs. Elizabeth Berry, Mr. Kenneth Cline, Mr. Walter Webb, Miss Roberta Rice, Miss Mary Kennedy, and Miss Thelma Myers. The Starlighters, furnished the music for the dancers. The queen, whose identity was not announced until the night of the reception, was con- ducted to her flower-banked throne and duly crowned. The Iunior-Senior reception is one of the more eagerly-awaited formal dress occasions of the year. lt is the last social occasion of the year on which the two classes meet as class groups. It is a happy prelude to the final meeting when the Seniors don their caps and gowns a few evenings later.

These were Albert Constance, Carl Cren- shaw, Iames Sadler, Elmo West, Francis Rogers, Bob Horne, Vernon Griffin, and Richard Crull. Although Chrisman's fighting eleven was hampered by injuries sustained throughout the season, the team Won a healthy respect from all the opponents whom they met on the gridiron. Such key players as Albert Constance, quarter backg Francis Rogers, guardg James Sad- ler, fullback, and others vital to the team, sustained injuries that kept them out of some of the games. Chrisman's team ran all of their plays from the T formation which requires plenty of speed from the backs and a lot of brawn from the linemen. Our team had both of these qualities and many more which developed our eleven into an all- round team. it X, Vx7hc'S The squad for next year loses twelve lettermen by graduation, it also loses by graduation the manager of the team, Lloyd Sinclair, who has served very capably in that capacity. To Mr. Pearce, the coach, and to the Chrisman football squad, we owe a vote of thanks for such an actionffilled season containing many thrills that will not be for-- gotten. The league in which the Chrisman football team played is the Pony Express League. This is the same league in which Chrisman played last year. The Pony Ex- press League is composed of William Chrisman, St. Ioseph Benton, St. Ioseph Lafayette, St. Joseph Central, North Kan- sas City, and the Wentworth Military Academy.

The Chrisman basketball team started the season of a sixteen-game schedule quite suc- cessfully by defeating St. Ioseph La Fayette on the opponents court. This schedule started Friday, December 13, and ended Friday, February 21. Though this was a heavy schedule, the Chrisman team was victorious most of the time and outplayed none of the time. The team's strength was built on a foundation of eight retiring lettermen. These lettermen were Walter Wallock, Albert Constance, George Binger, Richard Crull, Elmo West, Ioe Pallo, Vernon Griffin, and Gregg Heide. In addition to these lettermen, there were many other fine players including the two Slayton brothers, Richard and Allen, who have proved their ability on the court. The Chrisman basketball team is an active member of the Pony Express League. This league is composed of William Chrisman, St. Ioseph Central, St. Ioseph Benton,, St. loseph La Fayette, North Kansas City, and the Wentworth Military Academy. Each of these games was tough, but the Chrisman fighting five were respected by all who opposed them. The high scorers of the season were Richard Crull and Vernon Griffin. Both of these fel- lows played as forwards, and, with the rest of the team, they accounted well for themselves. The team manager was Lloyd Sinclair, a well-liked and popular lad, who efficiently filled his position as manager. Coach Travis Hopkins, though new at Ch risman this year, has done much to send our team through a tough season so victoriously. The team and Coach Hopkins deserve well earned thanks for such an exciting season. 70 Where Is That Ball? Catch I1 Come On 71 Inmon.C. WolLLocP1.G WGS't.C. Cv-ull. F Bingen G. R.

Those available to Coach Hopkins from last year's team were Payton, Sanders, Dun- can, Hussell, 'West, Crull, Constance and Crenshaw. The team was given greater strength and balance by the services of Bennet, Gallup, Tittle, Heide, Talcott, Wright, R. Slayton, Austin, Sadler, Goebel, Burns, Christenson, Shedrick, Pallo, and Walden.

K is Q A The Student Council of William Chris- ficers were formally installed February 3, 1941. The purpose of this organization is to act as a medium between the students and the faculty. Such an organization offers training that prepares the students for better citizenship and leadership. Since that time the organization has been functioning smoothly and today it offers some of the most coveted elective positions in school. Richard Andersen Norrine Norris loe Arthur Taylor Betty Werner During 1946-1947, Richard Anderson and loe Arthur Taylor served equally well in the of- fice of president, Richard filling the vacancy which resulted when Don Dalton, elected presi- dent in the spring of 1946, moved away during the summer. Don was missed by the entire student body, but Dick presided with grace and poise during the entire first semester. ln a special election, Kenneth Schowengerdt was chosen to fill the office of vice-president. The complete list of officers for the year is composed of these students, first and second semester respectively: President, Richard Andersen and loe Arthur Taylor, Vice-President, Kenneth Showengerdt and Bertis Dysartg Secretary, No rine Norris and Betty Wernerg Treasurer, Robin Lund and Bryce Ehmkey Parliamentarian, Iames Sadler and Richard Slayton. ,f- larnes Sadler, Norrine Norris, Robin Lund, Kenneth Schowengerdt, Richard Andersen 76 man was organized in 1949 and the first of- FIRST SEMESTER FIRST ROW: Robin Lund, Kenneth Schowenqerdt, Mrs. Asenath Schroeder, Miss Mary Kennedy, Miss Ethel Wait- man, Miss Bernita Sherman, Richard Andersen, Norrine Norris, lames Sadler.

Seleoz' 0 mm Because of the capable leadership of Miss Iessie Smith and the whole-hearted coopera- tion of the students, the Select Girls' Chorus of William Chrisman has had an enjoyable and successful year. Third hour chorus class consists of a group of girls from which forty are chosen to sing on assembly programs and for various other public performances. During the l946-47 school year, these girls have presented a number of entertaining programs for the students of their high school and the people of their community. For some time, it has been the custom of the music department to sing Christmas carols in the halls of school. This year the entire girls' chorus class was used and their melodious voices livened the halls of Chrisman at the holiday season. A Spring Concert was presented in May by the music department. The Select Chorus worked hard, and did their part to make it a grand success. They also participated in as- sembly programs during the year. Music was provided by them on the Christmas, Easter, and National Youth Week assemblies. Several churches in Independence invited the girls to take part in their services, and were willingly obliged. The chorus also provided music for the Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises. Class periods are spent in three and four part singing. Among the songs that are most popular with the class are When Day is Done by Dr. Robert Kotcher, The Russian Hymn by Peter D. Tkach, Pants Angelicusu by Cesar Franck, and Rose Marie by Rudolf Friml, Occasionally, the class listened to records from their record library, which is very good. This helped to develop the girls' appreciation for the classics as well as provide entertainment. The chorus has accomplished a great de al this year. The members and their director well deserve all praises given to them. They have helped to make the student activities en- tertaining and interesting. 78 FRONT ROW Cleft tc rightl: Liddle, Fereday, Petre, Arnold, Schulze, Zion, Barnard, Hanson, Simpson, Brest, Worrell, Pearl.

The numbers they sang in assemblies were very much appreciated by both the faculty and the students. Many ot the church es of Independence were very happy when the mixed choir accepted their invitations to present some sacred numbers during the service. The members of the choir receive an honor point for each of these activities in which they participate. Music always makes the holiday season more enjoyable, so last Christmas, in keeping with the tradition of the school, the two classes combined their voices and sang many fa- miliar carols around the building. Also they provided background music for the annual Christ- mas play. This added much to the spirit of the occasion. Throughout the year the students learn many types ot songs. The Holy City, The Green Cathedral, To Thee We Sing, and King All Glorious are some of their sacred songs. They also sing many popular numbers, such as Night and Day, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, and Deep Purple. Cindy is one of their novelty songs. The second hour chorus, with a few stud ents from fourth hour and some members of the Freshman chorus, made up a large chorus us ed for demonstration purposes in the State Music Educators' Clinic, held here February 6, 7, and 8. The members of these groups have worked very hard to make their classes a success, but it has taken a special effort on the part of Miss Smith. Her able and patient direction de- serves a vote of thanks and appreciation from all the students. lile, Neil.

Much of the credit for the success of the Vlfilliam Chrisman orchestra should be given the conductor, Mr. Emmert Pair, a new-comer at Chrisman this year. His patience and excellent guidance have helped make this year one of the most successful years this organization has known. Each year since the orchestra was first organized by Mr. Myron Iohnson in 1944, it has grown in importance until it has now proved itself an asset not only to the William Chrisman Music Department, but to the entire community. The orchestra this year consists of fourteen pieces. The members are Quinn Atchley, clarinet, Iohn Carey, trumpet, Charles Church, clarinet, Phyllis Davis, violin, Glen Doctor, alto saxophone, Marilyn Dysart, clarinet, Shirley Gohde, piano, Lloyd Hurshman, trumpet, Anita Long, cello, Virginia Middleton, violin, Donna Faye Miller, clarinet and oboe, Howard Schenk, clarinet, Ioan Schowengerdt, violin, Alberta Wyatt, string bass and piano. Tl'1iS Year the Chrisman orchestra played for a variety of occasions, including the speech play, the junior play, the one-act plays, a special assembly program, the baccalaureate ser: vice, the Missouri Music Educators Association, and the annual Chrisman Spring Concert. Several members of the orchestra played with the band at the football and basketball games, and in special ensembles. Officers of this year's orchestra are Howard Schenk, President, Charles Church, Vice- president, Quinn Atchley, Secretary, Shirley Gohde, Librarian, Glen Doctor, Reporter. A new system of organization has been used by the orchestra this year, that of appointing spe- cial officers and committeemen to perform special duties. These officers and comrnitteemen are as follows: Program Committee, Alberta Wyatt, Chairman, Glen Doctor and Charles Church, Property Managers, Ioan Showengerdt and Virginia Middleton, Scholarship Secre- tary, Bettie Burriss, Practice Secretary, Donna Faye Miller. 81 FIRST RCVJ: Strawhacker, A.

For their first tournament, the teams traveled to Topeka, Kansas, where they competed with other Missouri and Kansas schools from the surrounding territory. The team also traveled to Wyandotte School, Kansas City, Kansas, for a tournament and reached the semi-finals where they were defeated by Russel, Kansas. In Ianuary, William Chrisman was host to a tourney in which twelve schools partici- pated. Had Chrisman not been sponsoring the tournament, her team would have been eligible for the semi-finals. At the debate tournament at Bolivar, the first team from Chrisman won first place and the sophomore team won second place. Both teams received beautiful gold plaques and Bob Southern, George Dooley and Lewis Herfordt won scholarships to Southwest Baptist Col- lege. This year the first team, composed of Bob Southern, Ioe Taylor, affirmative, and lim- mie Gregg, Victor Carnes, negative, went to Ruskin for the sub-regional tournament and, winning there, traveled next to Missouri Valley College, to compete in the regional tourna- ment. They won there, but in the National Fo rensic Tournament at Warrensburq, Missouri, they lost to Springfield in the semi-finals. The teams won the state championship at Columbia, Missouri, April 12. Bob Southern was chosen best debater in the state and was awarded a scholarship to the University ot Missouri.

This class in journalism is taught sixth hour and is directed by Miss Mabel Potter, who tries to develop in her students the ability and desire to succeed in creative writing. Pupils recommended to take this course are those who have made at least a high M in English, as a knowledge of punctuation, capitalization, grammar, and a fairly large vocabu- lary are desirable for the beginning journalist. One must be willing to work hard, accept criticism, and attempt in a small way, at least, to improve the paper. The enrollment in journalism was so large this year that the class was divided, one sec- tion publishing THE ENVOY, the other compiling a booklet history of the various societies. The latter activity was directed by Thelma Clothier and Mary Bliss. They were thus study- ing another phase of journalism, that of the make-up of a book. During the second semester, students elected the following people as staff officers: Editor-in-Chief, Maurine Ahmann, News Editor, Carol Hanley, Assistants, Carol Sims and Eu- gene Fischer, Feature Editor, Virginia Allen, Sports Editor, Phyllis Schneithorst, Art Editor, Guin Lidke, Assistant, Bonnie Clark, Activities Editor, Dorothy johnson, Business Manager, Dana Wendleburg, Assistant, Betta Desmond. The preceding officers served for a nine- week's period only, and new ones were elected later.

With such competent leadership as his, there is no difficulty in maintaining the high standards of former Typing Staffs, and in producing a Gleam that is a complete success and is admired by the students of Wil- liam Chrisman. 84 in-ik., SEATED: Ann Williams, Nancy Sewell, Elizabeth Collinqs, Co-Editor: Ramona Bowen, Co-Editor: Audrey Weddle.

This staft works in cooperation with the desiqn and layout staff. Each member has a certain number of articles to be written, containing an allotted number of Words, which must be in by the deadline, if the GLEAM is to reach Chrismanites on time. To be on the staff, you must maintain an average qrade of S or above in Enqlishp your ability to write and follow instructions must also be considered for the position. The work of the Literary Staff must be do ne after the art Work and layout has been com- pleted, and after space for the copy has been measured. The amount of copy is dependent upon the kind and the extent of the pictorial content of the year book. The Literary Staff of the l947 GLEAM has worked under the supervision of Miss Verda Riller and the editors, Elizabeth Collinqs and Ramona Bowen. The other staff members are Alberta Hamilton, Vernon Kithcart, Richard Holt, Elizabeth Bassett, Virginia I-Iarlan, Ann Wil- liarns, Lou Anna Bauer, Nancy Sewell, Harry McGuire, Carol Sims, and Audrey Weddle. Much of the credit for the success of the GLEAM belonqs to those students who, Without fanfare and on their own time, prepare the record of the Year's activities. 85 SEATED: Shirley Gregg, Nancy Mallinson, Eleanor Carlson, Ianet Luft, Iacie Chapman, Susanne Mueller, Barbara Wurth. STANDING: Irene Johnson, Sally Cutler, Helen l-leer, Harold Pearson, Barbara Howell, Donna Campbell, Marcia Vardeman, Raymond Phillips, Bob Knight. .foqawi Sfaff The lay-out staff of the GLEAM, under the direction of Mr. Iarnes McDaniel, has willingly and earnestly co-operated with all in preparing Chrisman's 1947 year book. Doing a thing well requires time, and some of the staff members' best creative work has been put into the GLEAM. A definite change has taken place in this model--one which is influenced by the grow- ing idea of pictorial journalism. As usual, class pictures have been covered, along with the faculty and organizations. But the chief difference has been the complete coverage of all school activities such as sports, plays, dances, and assemblies, plus the inclusion of rnany casual shots. Susanne Mueller has been in charge of the general school activity photographs. Through her efforts, many fine and unusual snaps have been made to make our GLEAM more in- teresting. 2 Another important feature this year is the art work. The credit for this goes to lill Bry- ant, who has done the illustrating for the entire book. 86 Shirley Gregg and Ianet Luft, assisted by Harold Pearson, were responsible for the taking of group pictures, and Iacie Chapman handled the sale ofthe pictures. Fiances derived from concessions were managed by Nancy Mallin son. Other members of the staff who did general staff work were Sallie Cutler, Barbara Wurth, Eleanor Carlson, Raymond Phillips, Barbara Howe, Marcia Vardeman, Bob Knight, Donna Campbell, Helen Heer, and Irene Iohnson. For weeks they were kept busy trimming, cutting, arranging, and mounting pictures under the direction of Billie Ieanne MacDonald and Iudy Owens. Although not a member of the staff, Andy Bennett willingly aided them Whenever he was needed. The senior pictures were again made by the lean Sardou Studio of Iohn Taylor's and the sophomore and junior pictures were made by the School Photo Company. Galloway and Walters Photographic Studio took the group pictures. The staff members have worked diligently, and they may well be proud of the results.

The duties ot the Business Staii are to conduct the sale ot the GLFAM, to coltect money tor these sales, and to issue receipts tor and keep account oi all money derived irom the sale oi the year book. The Advertising Stati obtains the advertisements that go into the GLEAM, and which make publishing the GLEAM tinancially possible, by soliciting diiterent business and protes- sional houses in Independence and vicinity. These firms are very Willing in their response and some even call in and request advertising space without being solicited for it. In ad- dition to securing the advertisements, the start must measure the space allotted to advertis- ing, tix the price oi such space, and arrange the advertisements accordingly. The very capable sponsor ot the Business Staff is Miss Ianie Chiles. Through her ei- iorts and the eitorts oi the members ot the start, this phase oi the GLEAM work has been a success. The Stait consists oi the following members: Frances Barnhardt, Barbara Green, Peqqy Van Loon and Bryce Ehmke. The eiriicient little sponsor oi the Advertising Start is Miss Ellis Clement and she, also, has done much to further GLEAM sales. The members on her stait are Winn Seroy, Victor Carnes, Donald Beeves, and Harold Pearson. Since the advertisements help very materially to finance the publishing ot the GLEAM, the work ot this staff should not be underrated. Without the help oi these starts, Chrisman could have no year book. 88 paawd- 7eacfzm 14 ' 'an Again this year, William Chrisman High School is fortunate in having an active and co- operative Parent-Teacher Association. The aim of the organization has been to promote the welfare of Independence, and especially of Chrisman students, both individually and col- lectively. The P. T. A. has co-operated with all civic organizations in Independence in regard to Teen-Town. Their representative to these organizations is Mrs. George Desmond. Due to the co-operation of the students, Mr. Stinson and the P. T. A., the summer Teen- Town was a great success until it was forced to disband because of the polio epidemic. The P. T. A. members willingly took turns in chaperoning the weekly event. At the beginning of the year, the P. T. A. president, Mrs. Iames Austin, contacted the president of the student council and offered the assistance of the organization in any way possible. Among the many forms which this assistance took was the chaperonage of school mixers in the fall. Their theme for the year was OUR YOUTH OF TODAY and the monthly programs, based on the theme, included such topics as THE EDUCATION FOR OUR YOUTH, THE FUTURE OF OUR YOUTH, and COMMUNITY PROIECTS FOR YOUTH. Interesting talks were made by speakers experienced in these fields. This year the officers who have guided the P. T. A. so successfully are as follows: Mrs. lames Austin, President: Mrs. George Desmond, First Vice-President, Mrs. Marshall Miller, Second Vice-President, Mrs. Roy Guyton, Recording Secretary, Mrs. Earl Ham, Correspond- ing Secretary, Mrs. Tindall Henley, Treasurerp Mr. Gregory LeFever, Auditor, Mrs. Fred Scha- berg, Historian: and Mrs. William I. Clark, Ro om-Mother Chairman. Due to the efforts of Mrs. Miller, who is membership chairman, and Mrs. Clark, the mem- bership is near four hundred. William Chrisman claims the honor of being the first high school in Missouri to have a Parent-Teacher organization, it is now an active branch of a nation-wide organization which has a membership of over one million.

This year has brought many changes to the Corps. The familiar blue-lapel coats, leather belts, and black ties of past years have been replaced with battle jackets and khaki ties. The total school hours of drill have been shortened from former years, and more instruc- tion hours have been added to the R. O. T. C. training program. Army training films, first used last year, have been put to much use as they are effective in showing to every cadet the duties of the army in war as well as in peacetime. ln addition to this instruction, one cadet officer in each company has been assigned as Information and Education officer. His duties are to report current World affairs to his company each Week. Topics included this year were the atom bomb, United Nations Assembly, the Arctic expedition and the army training program. Annual inspection of the Corps was held April 28. lt is conducted each year, by officers from the Fifth Army area, to determine the standing of R. O. T. C. units in this area. Practical and written tests are given to first, second and third-year cadets. The Chrisman R. O. T.

These are enjoyed by most Chrisman girls as they have an opportunity to take part in competitive sports. The Chrisman girls are fortunate in having such an excellent instructor as Miss Betty Ann Street. The first major sport for classwork is softball, which is played at the campus. ln soft- ball the skills of pitching, catching, and batting are taught and practiced for several weeks. The next sport is volley ball. This game required aptness and an acquired control ot the ball. Basketball is probably the favorite sport in girls' gym. This is a game in which light- ning-fast speed is desired. Girls who show greatest ability are elected by their class to be their class team in the intramural tournament. The winning class team plays the M Club. Besides these three main sports, the girls are instructed throughout the year in dancing, tumbling, and calisthenics. Calisthenics are a daily occurrence in the classes. The first few days bring on aches and pains, but later the girls look forward to gym with much pleasure. No Pushing Many girls wish to join the girls' athletic club, the Club. To become a member they have to obtain a thousand points. The points are given for sportsmanship, scholar- ship, service, membership on the class teams, and other athletic work. The members of the M Club then strive for a Super M , a letter given by the state for five hundred additional points. l 94 A Charity Throw Baqfi' Gym Americans realize the value Ot physical fitness. The physical education classes at Chrisman are striving to develop this, through their various sports. The physical education department this year is headed by Mr. Travis Hopkins. The course covers a Wide variety of sports, including calisthenics. The sports which the gym boys participate in most enthusiastically are baseball, volley ball, basketball and track events. Calisthenics aid in muscle building and are included several times during the school week. They include rope climbing, rope jumping, push ups, and other arm and leg exercises. The success of the gym course is proved by the number of boys from gym who make the first teams on Chrisman's football, basketball and track squads. During the winter months the gym activities are confined to the indoor sports of basketball and volley ball. Warm weather takes the gym boys outside and to the campus where baseball and calisthenics are the two activities. Toward the end of the school year Chrisman letters are awarded to the boys who obtain the highest number of points in the regular gym letter test. This test consists of some of the following: Push ups, lOU-yard dash, 315-yard run, 60-yard hurdles, high jump, shot put, rope climb and deep knee bends. This is Coach Hopkins' first year as head of the boys' gym and much credit is due him for all his efforts in promoting physical fitness at Chrisman. 95 Waak of WOODWORK MR.

Jfanm Sc-aeiq The National Art Honor Society is an organization based on appreciation ot beauty, knowledge of art, and skill in producing art. The William Chrisman Chapter was organized April l5, IQ37. Membership is not wholly a matter of productive skill. In addition to the required ten pieces of exhibited Work, scholastic qualifications and character are carefully considered. An S average in art must be maintained, and M average in all other subjects, no tail- ures. This year, April 22nd, the annual exhibit ot Work was held. Around forty-two students participated. The first semester oiiicers ot the Art Honor Society were President, Bonnie Clark, Vice- President, Ruth Ann Webby Secretary, Betty Burris. Irene Iohnson served as second semester President.

The purpose of the society is to encourage the high ideals of scholarship and sports- manship. Since the organization ofthe chapter, many of Chrisman's best athletes in all sports have earned membership, showing that muscular prowess, scholastic accomplish- ment, and sportsmanship are to be found in combination. Membership in the organization is the goal toward which Chrisman's athletes strive. This should certainly be true in the future, and the standard oi merit of the society should encourage higher scholastic standards in all fields ot athletics. lOl E I Y 0 r - f . J.. A , .K .

The National Rifle Association is fairly new at William Chrisman, it was formed on March 6, l945, then bearing the name of The Musketeers. To become a member, a boy must be a member of R. O. T. C. and be able to shoot a score of at least l35 out of a possible score of 200. The association was organized to promote an interest in shooting, to increase muscular co-ordination, and to encourage good sportsmanship. The 'William Chrisman High School R. O. T. C. Rifle Team of 1946-47, coached by MfSgt. Donald R. Martin, was undefeated in twelve shoulder-to-shoulder matches during the year, and placed fifth in the Fifth Army matches in which seventy-five high schools participated. The team, just prior to the close of school, was firing the National Intercollegiate Rifle Matches which is excluded to only those teams of the United States which were selected by army commanders as high scoring teams in their respective areas. This year's first team consisted of the following Cadets: Captain Paul Roberts, Team Captain, Sf'Sgt. Richard Rusk, S,!Sgt. john Glass, S,'Sgt. Tommy Adams, SfSgt. Richard Clark. The second team consisted of SfSgt. Bill Busch, Pfc. Louis Willis, Pfc. Robert Moran, Lieut. Winn Seroy, Lieut. Donald Reeves, Captain Bryce Ehmke, Lieut. Walter Walloch, SfSgt.

Jfanaa Sade Character, leadership, scholarship and service are tour of the requirements for member- ship in the National Honor Society. One of the greatest honors a student can receive in high school is to be adjudged by the faculty worthy of membership. Miss Mabel Potter, the present sponsor, organized the William Chrisman chapter, Num- ber 266, in l924. A student must rank in the upper one-third of his class to be considered for membership. The faculty then judge the candidates on desirable traits of character and service to the school. It is a special honor to be chosen as a member in the junior year. The requirements are much higher for a junior as he must be in the upper ten per cent of his class and show out- standing ability. Virginia Allen, Lou Anna Bauer, Bessie Burriss, Bettie Burriss, Victor Carnes, Elizabeth Ann Collings, Pauline Cramer, Virginia Harlan, Mary Frances Reich, Wayne Scha- berg, Harriet Swearingen, and Betty Werner were chosen in their junior year to carry on the Work ofthe organization. Also as juniors, Don Dalton and Marion Dougherty, who have since moved away, were members. The officers are President, Victor Carnesg Vice-President, Wayne Schabergg and Secre- tary-Treasurer, Virginia Harlan. IO4 t ' ' ..' j .

The club has functioned this year under the able sponsorship of Mrs. Mary Learnard and Miss Roberta Bice. These girls, in order to qualify for membership, must maintain an average grade of M in all subjects and must be willing to abide by the laws as set forth in the club constitution. They must be willing to take part in club activities and abide by the pledge of loyalty which they take on becoming new members. The ideals of the club can be expressed in the words Service, Loyalty, and Scholarship: service to school and community, loyalty to all principles of fellowship, and the highest scho- lastic standing they can maintain in all possible fields. An effort is made to study as much of Shakespeare at the meetings as is possible. Pro- grams are arranged not only to inform, but to entertain as well. Several socials and parties are held throughout the school year, and all are looked for- ward to with much anticipation. Important events that have been held are the formal dance, which was given at Rockwood Country Club, the Mothers' tea, and the Senior banquet. This school term marked the twenty-fifth year of the founding of the society and the an- niversary was observed by a tea which was attended by many of both the charter and for- mer members. The Shakes also cooperated with the two other societies in a joint assembly program for Valentine Day. Officers for the first semester were Harriet Swearingen, Presidentg Alice Guyton, Vice- Presidenty Audrey Weddle, Secretary, Donnabelle Marsh, Treasurer: and Carol Sims, Be- porter. Those holding office for the second semester were Carol Sims, President: Carol Hammel, Vice-Presidentg La Verna Simpson, Secretary, Monetta Bueneman, Treasurer, Alberta Hamil- ton, Parliamentarian, and Mary Bliss, Reporter.

The society consists of girls who are outstanding in both scholarship and extra-curricular activities in the school and Who endeavor to attain the higher ideals of building more stately mansions which the poem expresses, and, finally, who are invited by the club to become a member. The colors of the society are blue and Whitey the flower is the English violet. During the initiation of new members, it is customary for each neophyte to wear the colors blue and white as well as other symbols of the club. The club meets monthly. Each year numerous social functions, now annual affairs, are held. These include a formal dance, a mothers' tea, and a banquet for the retiring seniors. This year the dance, which was held at Garrett Hall on lanuary 30, was especially enjoyable. ln addition to the annual events the club had several other social activities, including a hay ride, a Christmas party, and other friendly get-to-gethersf' The sponsors are Mrs. Lucille Barker and Miss Oneida Beeman. Through their patience and loyalty, the club has continued to be an enjoyable part of school life. The officers for the first semester were Daisy Alexander, President: Lauretta Stonger, Vice-President: Pat Carpenter, Secretary: Cassie Beaty, Treasurer: and Mary Frances Stewart, Parliamentarian. For the second semester the following were in office: Letha Hickam, President, Shirley Gregg, Vice-President, Barbara Lund, Secretary: lrene Iohnson, Treasurer: and Shirley Mc- lnnes, Parliamentarian. The Historian for both semesters was Mary Lee Sampson, whose job it was to keep an account of the activities of the society. These officers have all done an excellent job in promoting the excellent standards of the society. The Nautilus co-operates with the two other societies in presenting an assembly program each year. Through concessions at various games, the society helps to finance its numerous activi- ties. lO6 FRONT ROW' Cleft to rightlz Chapman, N. Maness, Miss Ellis Clement, Carlson, Miss Nora Witthar, P.

The group has had a fruitful year. The big event was the Christmas dance held at the Garret Hall. The As-You's, in cooperation with the other societies, presented a Valentine Pageant in assembly this year. As in the years past, the girls again took presents to the children at Mercy Hospital. Another activity of the society was a delightful Mother's tea, held in the music room on Aprill 22. The club colors are black and qold, the flower, the shrysanthemum, and the mascot, the owl.

The purpose of this club is to promote good sportsmanship and a greater interest in athletics. Membership in this OrQC1r1iZGtiOr1 depends upon the applicant's ability to earn 1000 points in athletics. These points are based upon scholarship, athletic ability, leadership, health, sportsmanship, and service to the school: furthermore a girl must pass a physical examination and undergo the prescribed initiation before she may become a member of the club and re- ceive a blue M, the Missouri Women's Athletic Letter. The next goal is to earn a Super M, a small gold letter which is awarded the girl after an additional 500 points are earned. The ability to swim 100 yards in three minutes is one oi the most important requirements in earning the 500 points. Lauretta Stonger, Phyllis Schneithorst, Gayle Brunson, and Shirley Miller are the four girls who have earned their Super M's this year. A large blue C is awarded each member who participates in three consecutive tour- nament games, provided the M Club wins. Barbara Wurth, Rosalie Dowell, Kathy Fisher, Irene Johnson, Gayle Brunson, and Lauretta Stonger earned C's for the first semester. At the end oi the six-weeks period, the M Club plays the winner of the gym class teams. The latter are composed of members of the regular physical education classes which com- pete in tournament competition in the particular sport featured in class activities for the six- weeks' period. Officers this year, first and second semester respectively, were president, Lauretta Ston- ger, Dorothy Paschallp vice-president, Agnes Gensor, Rosalie Dowellp secretary, Margaret Zevecke, Roberta Manessp treasurer, Phyllis Schneithorst, Barbara Wurthp reporter, Dorothy Paschall, Louise Huntsucker. Miss Betty Ann Street was the sponsor of the club this year. l08 7lze pep Glad In l936 an enthusiastic group ot girls organized the Pep Club in order to arouse interest in the field of sports in which William Chrisman participates. The club sits on the side lines and, through its cheering, encourages the players to gather activity on the court and grid- iron. Any student in Chrisman can belong to the Pep Club and join in its activities, providing he pays his annual dues. This tee brings him a gold letter C and a gold topper to match, in addition to membership itself. It was originally intended that the cap and letter be re- turned to the club at the end of each year until the member became a senior, but this year the plan has been changed to enable the underclassman to keep cap and letter. The activities of the club are planned by a group ot cheer leaders who are elected in the fall by the student body. The cheer leaders who served with requisite enthusiasm this year are Addie Aeichling, Robin Lund, Ioan Pittman, Robert Ganson, Charlene Thompson, and Donald Inouye. These six students led all the yells and endeavored to teach new yells to the club. On the night before the annual home-coming game it has been the custom tor the club to hold a rally and burn a dummy representing the opposing team. This is the main enter- tainment of the year and a large crowd always turns out for this event. The members of the club appreciate the leadership given them by their sponsor, Miss Roberta Rice, and their assistant sponsor, Miss Betty Ann Street. FIRST ROW: R.

ICQ 7AeS' Glad The William Chrisman chapter of the Science Club of America was founded in l943 under the direction of Miss Ellis Clement and Miss Nora Witthar. The aim of the club is to bring students who are interested in science together, so they can gain further knowledge of scientific subiects. The members have been so enthusiastic, and membership has grown to such an extent that the club work includes all phases of the science department. The list of sponsors now includes also Miss Oneida Beeman, and Miss Gladys Evans. Club meetings are held the first and third Wednesdays of each month. At the begin- ning of the year the club chose as its officers, Iames Landfried, President, Berttis B. Dysart, Vice-President, Phyllis Schneithorst, Secretary: and Bill Busch, Treasurer. At the end of the first semester a new executive board was elected. Chosen for the various offices were Bert- tis B. Dysart, President, Howard C. Schenk, Vice-President, Phyllis Schneithorst, Secretary: Bill Busch, Treasurer. Since the cessation of the war and the removal of restrictions on travel the science club has sent student representatives to the spring contests in physics, chemistry, and biology. These representatives have shown that William Chrisman compares favorably with any other school in the state as to the practical and theoretical phases of applied science. Scientific knowledge is becoming increasingly important in this modern world. Great new discoveries in electronics and chemistry have been made during the War, and scientists are making the elements work for them to a degree our grandfathers would never have deemed possible. Radar signals are sent to the moon, and planes have circled the earth in less than seventy-eight hours. lt is up to the students of today to keep abreast of develop- ments. 17- FRONT RO'W fleft to righti: larnes Landfried, loseph Dowell, Miss Nora YVitthar, Miss Gladys Evans, Miss Oneida Beeman, Lauretta Stonger, Phyllis Schneithorst, Bill Busch. l SECOND ROW: Eugene Fischer, Berttis Dysart, Vernon Kithcart, Kathy Fisher, luanita Rost, Maurine Ahmann, Anita Long, Kenneth Simmons, lr.

It is a member of the American Home Economics Association and the Missouri Home Economics Association. To form a connecting link between the home and the school, to train young women to be active leaders in their home and community life, and to furnish an opportunity through organization for social life, are the objectives of this club. Club membership is open to any student enrolled in clothing or foods classes, if this girl is elected by a majority vote of the club members. Miss Hazel johnson and Miss Margaret Chiles are the very capable and conscientious sponsors of the club, and for their interest the members are grateful. Several worthwhile projects were carried on this year. Favors were made for the chil- dren at Mercy Hospital for Valentines Day. Several types of Bed Cross work were carried on. Dresses, skirts, toys, bedsocks, and capee and hoods were some of the articles made. Besides being of service, the club enjoys social life. A tea was held in December. The club went on a spring picnic. The Betty Lamp silver pin is awarded ea ch girl earning seven hundred and fifty points, which may be acquired by being of service to the school, being a club official, serving on committees, attaining scholarship, and attending meetings. A gold pin is awarded for a thousand points. Officers for the two semesters were as follows: President, Bonnie Linnenbringer, Betty Hifnerg Vice-President, jean Pimblott, Mary Stewart: Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Stewart, Lou Anna Bauerg Historian, Charlene Hirningg Reporter, Bonnie Linnenbringer. lll 'Glad All students in commercial subjects are eligible for membership in the Commercial Club as long as they have an M average. This organization was founded in May, 1929, under the sponsorship of Miss Emma Witt. This organization provides some added interests in commercial work in addition to class work and also offers valuable aid in meeting different commercial problems that may exist in this field of work. ln general, the plan of the club is to have at its meetings several business men as guest speakers throughout the year. These men endeavor to deliver messages concerning busi- ness opportunities and business conditions of today. This is a very practical service the club supplies to its members. The club offers different awards to any student who shows outstanding merit in com- mercial work. lf a first-year shorthand student is successful in passing an official test of eighty Words per minute, a pin is given by the club to the student. This holds true of any second-year student who passes an official one-hundred-twenty-word test. Pins are also awarded for special speed achievements in typing to both first and second year students. Miss lessie Page and Miss Thelma Myers are the capable sponsors of the club. For the first semester the officers, all of whom worked with much diligence, were Betty Werner, President: Barbara Lund, Vice-Presidentg Harriett Swearingen, Secretaryg and Carol Harnmel, Treasurer. The second semester officers, also dependable and efficient, were Audrey Weddle, Presi- dent, Donnabelle Marsh, Vice-President: Shirley Gregg, Secretaryy and Elizabeth Collings, Treasurer. The Commercial Club is rapidly enlarging its range of activities and offers a wonderful opportunity to further one's interest in and knowledge of bookkeeping, secretarial work, and general business. Students who wish to belong to this organization must give their name to one of the com' mercial teachers and then the members of the club vote on them. After admittance is gained, the dues must be paid and every meeting must be attended in order to remain in the organ- ization.

Since then more people have become interested in the club, and every year much is accomplished in professional growth and service to the school. A trip to the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery of Art was very interesting and instructive. Those who went greatly enjoyed it. Another fi eld trip for the club members was a visit to the studio of Mr. Robert Tindall in Independence. Mr. Tindall is a graduate of Chrisman, of the Kansas City Art Institute, and a special student of Thomas Hart Benton. His paintings are excellent, and the club members greatly appreciate his talk on composition. Two outstanding social events were our skating party at the Pla-Mor, March 2nd, and our HalloWe'en party given the Wednesday before HalloWe'en. Special guests were Mr. Stinson, our principal, Mr. Hanthorn, Mr. LeFever, and our sponsors. The officers for first and second semesters respectively were President, Ruth Ann Webb, Barbara Wurth, Vice-President, Robert Ganso n, Bonnie Clark, Secretary, Bonnie Clark, Alyce Fawkesp Treasurer, Ben Alton, Bessie Burriss. The Art Club has felt deeply the loss of Miss Emina Hill who served faithfully for a num- ber of years as assistant sponsor. We extend deep sympathy to the members of her family.

To be eligible for membership, a student must have a grade that is average or above in Spanish. The club meets after school the second Thursday of each month. The officers for this year were Bob Sparks, President: lacie Chapman, Vice-Presidentg Barbara Wurth, Secretaryy and Don Carl, Treasurer. The vice-president serves as proqram chairman. ' At one of the early meetings, Eleanor Chaney, a member of the club, gave an interesting talk on her trip to Mexico. Her talk was accompanied by an exhibit ot Mexican clothing. Another entertaining program during the first semester was held at Dana Wendleburg's home. On this occasion Professor Charles Hield gave a talk on some slides he had taken in Mexico. The program was enjoyed by all. The outstanding event ot the year was the Pan- American Banquet, given on April 18 in celebration ot the Pan-American Union. One of the attractions of the Spanish course is the singing of well-known Spanish songs. The enthusiasm oi the club tor singing led to the purchase of a piano which now stands in a place of honor in Room 211. Students learn these songs in the classroom and find them one of the most enjoyable ways ot studying Spanish culture. At Christmas time, lovely Spanish carols are sung in the halls. ll4 l FIRST ROW: Mrs. Kathryn Matthews, Marjorie Short, Virginia Harlan, Betty lean Irvine, Vione Stonger.

Maafuf 61144 To those people who are interested in traveling the world to beautiful and mysterious places, or living in the magic of long ago, the library with its many and varied books offers a solace from the everyday cares of the World. In order to make the library a more interesting and helpful place to visit, a club was or' ganized and is composed of those girls who give their study hall periods in order to serve stu- dents. This club's meetings are held every other Tuesday after school in the library. The dis- cussion usually revolves around better methods of running the library. The girls study the classifications of the books, such as fiction, biography, general reference and other divisions of the Dewey system of classification. Each meeting is followed by a social hour in which games are played and refreshments served. just before the Christmas vacation, the girls were treated to a show by Mrs. Mayme Piper, their capable instructor. ft was immensely enjoyed by all and was a kind gesture on the part of the sponsor. There is nothing more helpful to a school than junior librarians who know Where to find the several types of books and who are able to recommend good sources of reading. lt is hoped that as Chrisman advances in all other fields, the library, too, will have a chance better to serve the needs of a growing high school. lt is the hope of the librarian that in the near future newer and better illustrated books will be obtained both in textbooks and fiction material. Officers for the club were Marjorie Reynolds, Presidentg Nova june Petentler, Vice-Presi- dent, Virginia Harlan, Secretary-Treasurer, Patsy Worrel, Reporter. ll5 Bill Cogan and Richard Rupert 7he Siege Gaew The boys behind the curtains who deserve recognition for their excellent job as stage technicians are Bill Cogan and Richard Rupert. They were selected by Miss Margaret Meredith and Mrs. Mary Williams, under whose supervision they do their work. These boys must be responsible and efficient, as their work behind the scenes helps to make the per- formance a success. They work also under the capable guidance of Mr. Walter Webb, the manual training teacher, whose classes help to make needed stage equipment. lf at any time there is additional help needed, there are many volunteers. The boys' responsibilities are the care of the stage equipment, stringing any special lights, setting up the scenery, adjusting all the various curtains and lights of the stage, mak- ing the sound effects, and the buying, borrowing, or making of individual stage properties. Working under the various directors, they have prepared the stage for the many productions and assemblies we have had this year at William Chrisman. As all work and no play would not be go od for these boys, there are times when they relax, seek the lighter side of life, and travel down to Iohns for a coke. lt is a lot of fun getting a production ready but still stage han ds are relieved when it is over. But it seems that there is little rest for the weary. lust as soon as the boys finish one job, there is another one staring them in the face: but these curtain pullers are always willing to take over another job. These boys are eligible for membership in the National Thespian Dramatic Society after two major productions and they receive four activity points for the year's work. Come out from behind the curtains, boys, and take a bow. ll6 LEFT TO RIGHT: I. C.

On this page we wish to express our appreciation for the men whose unheralded, oft-repeated, after-four-o'clock efforts have made our school such a pleasant one in which to study. Mr. Iohn Greer, who is the custodian of first, second, and third floors of the new building, leads in seniority. He has been in the system twenty years. Mr. Iohn Haun has served Chrisman ten years ,and he, too, is custodian of first and second floors in addition to the girls' gym. Mr. I. C. Benson, whose duties are those pertaining to the auditorium, stage, and second floor, has been at Chrisman for three years. Mr. Ioe Myrtle, although he is new at Chrisman, has proved himself capable. His duties are those of keeping second floor of the old building. Also new at Chrisman, and one who is rarely seen, is the night custodian, Mr. E. I. Con- row. His duties are the care of the band and shop rooms at Iunior High School and the study hall and boys' gymnasium at William Chrisman. In addition, Mr. Conrow has general supervision of Chrisman at night. lndeed, our school's pride is reflected in its appearance. Since our school is one to be proud of, the custodians are the ones whom we should thank. They have worked long and faithfully for us and for William Chrisman. 117 Mal-ze-up, Dramatics Class Sendai: play lack Chesney CBerttis Dysartl and Charley Wykeham CDick Andersenl are both madly in love with Kitty Verdum CDana Wendleburgl and Amy Spettigue CDelta Hope Blackburnl re- spectively.

Christmas Carollers LOST DREAMS l remember the little things, The daisy cups, the clover rings, The first face made when a back was turned, Of being, caught, and the lesson learned, The trapez set that seemed so high, The swing that almost touched the sky. Each mornings gladness, each day's delight, The God bless Mommy l said each night. Childhood was so sweet to me, One brief moment of simplicity. But now l'm grown, and yet feel blind, For l've lost the acceptance of a child's mind. Science has destroyed the source of my thunder, Books have informed my innocent wonder. The man in the moon, the clouds I claimed, All my dreams have been explained. Yet, in future years a child will be born, And in her hair a daisy cup worn. On her swing into the clouds she'll soar, And the dream I lost, will be mine once more. Mary Lee Blank '47. NIGHT SKIES Moon, bridal-white, To make dire wrong seem right, Your cast a celestial glow On humble creatures here below. Stars, gayly twinkling, Like argent angels winking. You create an alabaster stairway On which the rnoonbeams play. Marjorie Short. t t Stmlwz' Weue THE SOLDIER'S PRICE The true glory of victory ls not to be understood by some Even though it must be An ever remembered season of mire Through the yet re-echoeing battle fire. A thought of the pitiful torn street, The ever remembered weary sore feet, A multitude of battle-scared fields Not a shield'-but only the enemy's yields. And then the thunder, detection and defeat Not the wonder of burning home first neat: Only the terrible battle-rendeded quake That makes a loving Gods whole earth shake. Then, this the rising thought! pestilence cease! This, the price of an everlasting peace: This is the price of our world wide victory This the thought of blood and story. This a body wrecked with pain and toil A soldier far from home and on foreign soil This is the price , said he: This is the price of our victory. Richard Gentry '47, WINTER The autumn leaves are falling down. The ground is white with snow. The kids all get their sleds out, And down the hill they go. lt's time for bobbing apples, And the popcorn is piled high. These memories of winter we cherish, As the long years roll by.

THE MASTERS ART AA God paints a picture in the sky And hangs it there to dry. He dips his brush into the blue And then into the red. He loves to watch the colors spread Do you ever kneel by your bed to pray And open your heart to God, and say, Help me dear Lord in the work that l do, To ever be sincere and true? When we lay down this house of clay We'll say the service of God does pay.
