Scientists call him Ursus Americunus, but we call him bear. This bear left the mountains and settled down to act as guide to hundreds of people going through a great school in the middle west. He studies carefully, works hard, and plays valiantly and sportsmanlike; leaving every year a record of new heights and ac- complishments. To those who know him not, meet Mr. Willow Springs Bear, 1939 style. ADMINISTRATION ,, ,, The1939 Willamizzou u .

COTTRELL This year, as in the many years before, close cooperation was maintained between the faculty and our Board of Education, and the interests of the school were carefully preserved. Among the outstanding achievements of the Board was the beginning of the new building program which will include a new gym and spacious auditorium. As students we can certainly thank our Board for their work toward the betterment of our school. PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATEON MRS. O. C. LYONS, President MRS. WARREN HICKMAN, Vice Pres. MRS. RAY FROMMEL, Treasurer MISS SYBIL YOCUM, Secretary The Parent-Teacher Association has had a very interesting year, full of accomplishments and with a growing membership.

Our respectful teacher who started us. in the first grade was Miss Lottie Slusser. We kept climbing until we reached Junior High. By this time we thought we were just about grown. We were very proud when we received our diplomas from the eighth grade. The next fall we started in as freshmen with an enrollment of seventy-five. Our enrollment has de- creased some in number but we still graduate with uBoth Quality and Quantity as our class is larger than any class that has graduated from Willow Springs High School. We now look back over our school days and it seems like just a short time since we were just beginners. We plan to go out into the world but as we look back over our school days we will have many happy memories. 4 i i 1 8 ,, The 1939 Willamizzou a :7 Dolores Austin She'd love to be a Dairy Maid3Music, '36, '37, '38, '39; Piano Solo, '36, '37, '38, '39; May Festival, '36, '37, '38; Tennis, '36, '37, '38; Pep Leader, '38, '39; Piano Solo State '39.

Eight years of fun and friendship followed. During these years some left our group and others joined it. In May, 1936, these same boys and girls received their eighth grade diplomas. Although we hated to leave our teachers in grade school we knew that they would still be with us, so we proudly entered hlgh school with our books under one arm, our lunch pails under the other, and a dumb look on our faces. Under the supervision of the teachers and with the help of our older friends in high school we completed our schedule and started on our way to the different i lasses. Aside from the fact that we lost our way many times, we completed our freshman year well pleased. The sophomore year was not so hard for us. Now we were acquainted and got along splendidly. During our junior year we have taken on responsibilities. We have made honors in athletics, music, and other school activities. Within a years period we will move up a step and proudly occupy the seats of not Juniors, but Sophisticated Seniorsf, Evelyn Ruth Armstrong June Brittell Lorene Brittell Dot Bush Woodrow Bradford Clair Corman Arlene Dunkin Ellen Doughty Wallace Essig Billy Fisk Hugh Frommel Paul Fisher Pauline Farrar Jack Godsy Hilliard Godsy Mitchell Green Clarence Grogen Alice Gossard Opal Godat Norma Lou Gunn Mary Hiler Fern Hale Ruby Henry Dorothy Hagen Duane Henry Bernice McMillian John Mercer Russell Mitchell Helen McCormick Elliott Nelson Dorothy Ramsey Otis Rakestraw Annellen Smith Bernie Smith Howard Smith Clifford Stringer Lawrence Spence Iola Schneller Georgie Trimmer Bud Talbert Geraldine Wilbanks Eugene Waggoner J ohn Wages w The 1939 Willamizzou R Qt RHEA ANNE RUSH President W SOPHOMORE CLASS JEWELDEEN SKAGGS Vice-President In the fall of 1929 forty happy boys and girls started through school under EUGENE CLINGAN Secy.-'l'reas. the tender care of Miss Lottie Slusser. During the next eight years we looked back on these delightful days of the first grade and realized how carefree those days were, for our trials and tribulations were now great. But the day finally came when we were handed our diplomas which permitted us to attain our heart's desireeHigh School. We began our fresh- man year with our knees trembling and our hearts in our mouths. Then we found fR vu- ,-.;-ee 0- that we were members of this organization and began to rest with more ease.

Many of that number have finished grade school and the first year of high school together We progressed to the second grade where Miss Meda Martin tackled the job of pounding knowledge into our heads. In the third Mrs. Zulauf, fourth Gene Arm- strong, fifth Miss Cottrell. When we finally reached Junior High and thought we were at last grown-up, Mr. Lovan, Miss Wilhoit, Mr. Sells, Miss Richman, Miss Clough and Miss Yocum undertook the job of changing our minds. When at last our eighth year loomed before us we took over the job of being the worst grade in grammar school and did the job very diligently Then out freshman year Oh' What a let- down!

This call was answered by ten would-be debaters. When the first semester was over the number had dwindled to only two. T hese two were the debaters of last year, Fred Madden and Rogne Gunckel. They delved into all material obtainable and developed into a satisfactory team. They debated either side of the question, Resolved, That the Unitad States should enter an alliance with Great Britain. This team participated in tournaments in West Plains, Bolivar, and Cabool. They have a very good record for second year debaters. January, l39iCalling all orators, writers. actors, and declairnersll This call was answered by many. Six boys tried out for oration. After eli- mination Fred Madden and Ervin Hugh Perkins represented Willow Springs. Seventeen girls tried out for girls, declamation. Ilah Jo Fisher represented Willow Springs in Dramatic Readings and Arlene Dunkin in Humorous Readings. Jewel Horak entered the essay writing contest. These orators, readers, essay writers, and debaters took part in the S.CA. Literary Contest lat Cabool. The literary department, in its second year, has made great improvement under the guidance of Miss Mary Frances Brewington, speech teacher and literary coach. t, a The 1939 Willamizzou it e HOME ECONOMICS This year the Sewing Class boasts an enrollment of 30 and the Cooking Class 18. The total of 48 is the largest enrollment the Home Economics depart- ment has had for several years. It has been necessary that both classes be divided into two groups. The Sewing girls have made simple things such as tea towels, aprons, and slips and progressed to dresses, childrenis clothes, housecoats, wool suits, etc. They plan to put some of their work on exhibit this spring. The Cooking Class has made many very delicious things to eat such as breads, cakes, pies, salads and they have cooked many vegetables. Demonstrations were given by each member of the class but those given by Mrs. Grimes were probably best tbut the girls hate to admit iti. Some of the Cooking girls served at a P.T.A. meeting and some gave a ban- quet for the teachers and board members. Both classes were entertained at Mrs. Grimes' home Christmas and both. plan to entertain the Vocational Agriculture boys with an ice cream supper near the end of school. COMMERCE The commercial course includes four subjects; shorthand, typewriting book- keeping, and general business. The students in the commercial classes feel that they have really accomplish- ed something that will be worth-while in future years to them. A few students have struggled under the guidance of Miss Lorene .Masnor and have completed two books; the Gregg Manual and tiGregg Speed Stutiies. Some of the students took notes at the annual Ozark Music Festival and with the help of their teacher had the judges criticisms ready for the different schools a few minutes after the contest was over. The bookkeeping class has worked out four practice sets that gave us train- ing in the use of business papers and we learned a great deal about sales, invoices, purchases, inventories, notes, checks; deposit slips, pass books, and business me- thods. These practice sets proved very interesting even if some of our trial balances would not always balance. The general business class got down to work this year, they undertook and conquered a practice set. Which proved to be very interesting. While studying mail we visited the post office and was shown around by the employees. A better knowledge of how mail is handled was gained by each one present. Everyone seems to enjoy typing. A few of our group have made sixty and even seventy-five on speed tests; therefore attaining for themselves a place in the hall of fame. They are Jo Lovan, Leland Boles, Lloyd Blakely, Frances McPhail with sixty and Coralee Burchard with seventy-five. :0 e The 1939 Willamizzou e e MUSIC The music department under the second year direction of. Mr. Shelton opened the music season with a bang this year by winning its first contest. This was the Creative Arts Contest held at Drury College in December in which the brass en- semble groups won first place. The string and vocal groups also ranked high. At the Ozark Music Festival Cabool eked out first place over the Willow Springs Department by six points. High scores were won by both the large groups and solos. Soloists winning first, second, or third place were Mary Jane Cottrell, first; Dode Austin, first: Frances McPhail, first; Wayne Spence, first; Jo Lovan, second; Otto Holland, second; Kathryn Lovan, second; and Betty Hansen, third. Orchestra, girls' glee club, string quartet, and brass sextet all won first places. West Plains won first place in the higher division without competition At the S. C. A. Contest, which was held at Mountain Grove, the Willow Springs Music department won fourth place. Several high rankings were earned by the music department in this contest. The department outclassed some of the larger schools in the Springfield contest at State Teachers College. The contest was conducted on the festival plan and no first, second, and third places were given. Dode Austin won an E rating in piano solo. Other E ratings were given to the following groups: String quartet, boysl quartet, girls' quartet, and clarinet trio. These numbers were then eligible to enter the state contest at Columbia Two other soloistseMary Jane Cottrell, violin, and Lloyd Blakely, clarinetewere also eligible because they had won the year before. Herbert James, baritone soloist, also entered. High rankings were received by all entries. The girls' quartet won a 1. Boys quartet and Herbert James won 2 plus. Woodwind ensemble, Mary Jane Cottrell and Lloyd Blakely won second rankings in their entries. Dode Austin won G in piano solo. The ranking of the string quartet was unavailable. i, :9 The 1939.Willamizzou ct e VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE a EARL STEPHENSON DOYLE SANDERS FRED MADDEN Treasurer Presideht F.F.A. Secretary HERBERTGREEN V t j , WILLIS PETERSON ' Vice President ., Reporter This has been an extra good year in the vocational agriculture department. The largest enrollment in the history of the department-eSS boysewas recorded at the beginning of the year. One of the largest project programs in the state was carried by the department with a total of $4,600 earned and an average of 2111 pro- jects per boy. Early in September a cooperative bull association was formed. Herbert James was elected president; Earl Stephenson, vice-president; and Doyle Sanders, secretary. Later in the fall a cooperative boar association was formed. This boar as- sociation is believed to be the first of its kind in the state. Fred Madden is presi. dent; and Doyle Sanders is secretary. The record of the Future Farmers of America Chapter is also one of the best in the history of the department. For the first time a father and son banquet was held. Again this year we entertained the Home- Economics girls. The chapter also backed the boar and the bull associations and the judging contest tht was held here. The officers of the chapter are: Doyle Sanders, president; Fred Madden, sec- retary; Earl Stephenson, treasurer; Willis Peterson, reporter; and Hillard Godsy, watch dog. For the first time we entered a boy in the Public Speaking Contest. Fred Madden won first in the district contest at Rolla. From there he went on to win the state contest at Columbia, which entitles him to represent Missouri at the regional contest at Ames. Iowa, on August 14, 1939. Herbert James and Doyle Sanders are two boys that received the State Farmer Degree at Columbia. Their excellent project records, activities, and leader- ship made this possible. They are two of the three chosen from the South Central Association. Willow Springs also took on a gigantic task in holding an S. C. A. and Big Springs Judging Contest. Willow Springs won the high honors at that contest. Another honor won by the Willow Springs department is in being one of the two schools chosen to put on a booth at the State Fair this summer. So you see that the Willow Springs Vocational Agriculture Department has had a very successful year. -By Willis Peterson SPORTS n ,, The 1939 Willamizzou e q BEAR BOOSTERS This year Willow Springs had a well organized pep squad and girls drum corps. The pep squad, led by senior, Dode Austin and juniors, Bill Fisk and Gerry Wilbanks, in a very efficient way went with the athletic teams to almost every game and put on several very rousing pep assemblies. The newly organized girls' drum corps, led by Mary J ane Cottrell and directed by Mr. Shelton, provided us with some very helpful backing and presented them- selves in gala form. We owe much to them as a help in making our athletic teams better known and more appreciated by the student body. ,, n The 1939 Willamizmu t a R FOOTBALL TED MUNFORD, Coach' RUSSELL STRINGER, Assistant Coach The 1938 football season was a very successful one with the Bears winding up in second place, having been defeated only by the Mountain Grove Champions. The team opened the season here September 23 by losing to the Mountain Grove Panthers by a score of 14-33. The Bears proved themselves a good team when they defeated the Cabool Bulldogs on their own field by a score of 13-6. One week later, October 14, the Bears defeated the Thayer team by a score of 26-0. On October 21, the Bears met and defeated the West Plains Zizzers by a score of 34-7. Another decisive victory was chalked up when the Bears defeated the Cabool Bulldogs for the second time with a score of 36-0. On November 4 the Bears made their second loss of the season to Mountain Grove. by a score of 0-21.

' IV GIRLSl PHYSICAL EDUCATION During the warm weather the class was divided into softball teams, and played softball a few weeks. After softball, several hikes were taken, then we re- tired to the gymnasium for marching, calisthenics, and dancing. The marching and calisthenics were instrumental in improving our posture and poise. The dances were simple ones at first, the Polkas, Swedish dances, and the old English country dances; this was mostly rhythm work. The dances became more difficult as the year passed by. We played basketball and volley ball during the winter months, and developed some very good players.

A large crowd seemed to enjoy themselvs during the evening by taking in the various amusements and stands such as the refreshments stand, fish pond, country store,, movie, gypsy tea room, basket ball throw, baseball throw and boxing exhibition. Mrs. Grimes and her cooking class made the evening more of a success by their delicious hamburgers. . , After a couple of hours of fun and frolic the crowd assembled and a pro- gram followed.

So to save the youth of the present generation the trouble and expense of attending callege, a hip-gocket education has been prepared. This resume contains all the essentials in the major subject field that are learned during a four-year college course. CHEMISTRY Chemistry is the study of matter. Atoms are invisible tyou can't see theml and therefore are too small to bother about. After all what does it matter? BIOLOGY Biology is the science of life. All life is divided into two parts: animal and vegetable. Any experienced biologist can tell an animal from a vegetable at almost first sight. MATHEMATICS Geometry is the science of angles. Angles have points. A point is what a straight line is the shortest distance between two of. Trigonometry has to do with logarithms. Logarithms are of great practical value. They are frequently used in computing income taxes, grocery bills and taxi fares. Two terms that are universally used in all mathematics are infinity and zero Zero is always the opposite of infinity. HISTORY History is the record of mants past. Napoleon, Caesar, and King George 313121 all appear in history. Napoleon was a Frenchman. Caesar was an Ita- lian who was killed by Congress. He died immediately after uttering the quotation, All Gaul is divided into three parts. George 3rd also died. ENGLISH English is a language snoken extensively in the British and occasionally on the Willow Springs High School campus. LITERATURE Literature is a required course. PHILOSOPHY Philosophy is the pastime of lunatics and nursery rhymers. Some famous philosophic quotations are: If I he as I think I be, then will my little dog know me? , and, What is it all, really'. ASTRONOMY Astronomy is interesting. It should be studied at night. You take two sticks and sight at a star or Venus. The sun is about a hundred million miles away. A telescope is like a microscope only bigger. A spectrum is caused by 11 spectroscope.
