The One Hundred Fourteenth Commencement Exercises
David H. Hickman High School Columbia, Missouri
Saturday J\fot*nina9 June Fifth Two Thousand Ten 11:OO a.m. JUissou Jlrena ACADEMIC REGALIA The traditional caps and gowns worn by students and faculty in the academic procession have been the historic costume of scholars since medieval times. Because many scholars of that pe- riod were members of monastic orders, the academic costume resembles ecclesiastical dress. A uniform code for academic costumes was drafted by an intercollegiate commission in 1893 and has since been adopted by the majority of colleges and universities in the United States. Each of the four academic degrees - bachelor, master, specialist, and doctorate - has its own dis- tinctive gown and hood. The gown representing the bachelor's degree is distinguished by its long, pointed sleeve. The master's gown has a longer, narrow, closed, pointed sleeve extending below the knee; the arm is passed through a slit at the elbow. In contrast, the doctor's gown has a full, bell-shaped sleeve with three bars of velvet. The opening of this gown is faced with wide velvet bands which may be black or of a color indicating the general field of learning of the wearer, for example, dark blue for philosophy, light blue for education, orange for English. The most colorful and distinctive item of the academic costume is the hood, which passes around the neck and extends down the back. The colors of the silk lining exposed in the center of the hood are those of the college or university which conferred the degree.

* Denotes membership in National Honor Society HICKMAN HIGH SCHOOL'S 82ND GRADUATING CLASS 114 YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL
High school in Columbia began in the 1880s, and by 1889, Columbia established a two-year high school at 713 Rogers Street, the current site of Jefferson Junior High School. The course of study was adjusted to three years in 1895, and to four years in 1896. Extracurricular activities naturally evolved. A literary society was formed in 1898, and a choral union, orchestra, and de- bate team were established in 1899. Sports teams were already present, although the district did not provide paid coaches. Soon overcrowding at Columbia High School became a concern. In 1909, the community approved the demolition of the old school at Ninth and Rogers and the building of a new high school on that site. The new structure held the district's first gymnasium and a physical educa- tion credit was added to graduation requirements. A coach was employed to work with athletic teams and an art/music teacher was hired, providing the first elective courses. The first edition of the yearbook, the Cresset, was published in 1912. Commercial studies, teacher training, home economics, and mechanical drawing courses were added to the curriculum in 1913. World War I brought changes to Columbia High School: the German Club was removed from the list of extracurricular activities in 1915 and a Current Events Club was established in 1918. In 1917, students over 14 years of age were excused from attending school to be farm workers as part of the war effort. Following World War I, Columbia continued to grow. In 1925, the community decided to build a new high school on the David H. Hickman estate. Construction soon began, and Hickman High School opened in 1927. At the time, some complained that the school was located too far out in the countryside! Students in the high school manual trades program built some of the fur- niture used to furnish the new school. Eighty years ago, the first Hickman graduates began a grand tradition of excellence in academics, the arts, athletics, and service to the community. The 1930s brought the Depression to Columbia, and the school district felt the economic pinch. For the first time, the district operated with a deficit; however, the high school building was expanded, thanks to low interest loans and the Works Progress Administration. While the district's special education program was eliminated, Hickman's first counselor was hired. On-the -job training and employment for credit were added to the curriculum, and Hickman's verse speaking choir performed throughout the state. Kewpie wrestlers garnered three state champion- ships during this decade. In 1938, Hickman's marching band first performed, and the Student Council financed purchase of the band's first uniforms in the early 1940s. Hickman's first oper- etta, 1944's Tune In, began an annual tradition that continued for many years. During World War II, curricular changes reflected the times; courses in international relations, aeronautics, and home nursing were added. Hickman participated in a fund-raising drive for the war effort and collected salvage items. Driver's education was offered for the first time in 1948, and the tradition of requiring sophomores to wear beanies was restored. Many Hickman gradu- ates served in the armed forces, some giving their lives in service to their country. The end of segregation in the school system occurred in the late 1950s. Hickman's faculty voted in 1952 to adopt competitive letter grading (E,S,M,I,F) in place of the previous Satisfac- tory/Unsatisfactory grading system. Continued expansion of facilities resulted in new construc- tion. High school special education and adult classes were initiated in 1955. Vocational class- rooms, laboratories, and the swimming pool were built in 1956, doubling Hickman's classroom space. During this decade, many graduates served in the Korean Conflict. In 1960, Hickman established an honors program to add academic rigor. The green and white sophomore beanies were worn for the last time in 1961. David Wheeler was named Hickman's first Presidential Scholar in 1964, the inaugural year of the national recognition program where two outstanding high school graduates per state per year are recognized for stellar academic achievement. The Kewpies finally beat the Jefferson City Jays in football in 1966, the same year William "Bill" Galeota became a Presidential Scholar, followed in 1967 by Robert "Corky" Cart- wright. Four state athletic championships in three different sports proved Hickman an intimidat- ing opponent during the 1960s. Again, Hickman graduates were in service to their country dur- ing the Vietnam conflict. The 1970s brought district growth and expanded opportunities for Hickman girls, including the election of Hickman's first female Student Government President and another Presidential Scholar in 1972, Susan Wakerlin (Durkin). By the mid-1970s, Hickman offered competitive women's teams in tennis, basketball, golf, swimming, track, and volleyball. A growing music program produced a number of outstanding performers. Overcrowding, seemingly a constant issue in Columbia's schools, became a concern; in 1973 a second high school, Rock Bridge, opened and the Bruins, along with the Jefferson City Jays, became Hickman's greatest rivals. National recognition came to Hickman in the 1980s, as Hickman was chosen to receive the Excellence in Education (Blue Ribbon) Award in 1984-85. President Ronald Reagan visited Hickman in 1987. Additional athletic and fine arts recognitions were earned by Hickman stu- dents, and four additional Presidential Scholars were selected, Melissa Parisi (Onzay) in 1983, Eleanor Kaufman in 1985 and in 1988, both of Missouri's scholars were Kewpies, Scott Murphy and Becca Dillingham (Learmouth). In the 1990s, Hickman was again nationally recognized as a Blue Ribbon school in the 1994- 96 competition, and four additional Presidential Scholars were named, David Kung in 1990, John Wright Riddick in 1994, Travis Pittman in 1996, and Anne Roller (Rucker) in 1997. Curriculum took new directions, including interdisciplinary classes, portfolio grading, and infusion of tech- nology. Computer labs were developed and opportunities for true-to-life experiences were ex- panded, including the nationally recognized Columbia Aeronautics Space Association (CASA) program. The strong, diverse athletic tradition continued. Within this decade, Hickman won six state championships in baseball, women's swimming, men's track, men's cross country, and men's tennis. Fine arts and music programs produced many state award winners. The tradition of excellence in academics, athletics, and the arts continues into the new millen- nium. Again, Presidential Scholars were announced, Kate Swearengen in 2000, Saritha Komat- ireddy in 2001, Ben Robinson in 2002, and Doris Lin in 2003, and in 2009 HHS produced a seventeenth Presidential Scholar, Jessica Hwang. Thanks to passage of bond issues, a master plan for revitalizing the Hickman campus was developed and implemented. Building renova- tions and construction of an all-purpose track occurred. Another bond issue in 2002 paid for additional renovations and air conditioning for more sections of the building. A new commons and classroom addition opened fall 2003. Work began summer 2004 to replace old windows and doors, flooring, lighting, and other fixtures throughout the building; extensive renovations to the auditorium began in the summer of 2005, and many classrooms were refurbished. In 2008, the men's and women's locker rooms and baseball field were refurbished along with building a stor- age facility. Air conditioning and environmental systems were installed in the pool and gym areas. Curricular initiatives such as the Success Center and the A+ Schools Program supported learning for all Hickman students and have been integral to a recent reduction in the dropout rate. The Minority Achievement Committee or MAC Scholars program has targeted supporting mi- nority students taking honors and Advanced Placement courses. In 2004, a student won first place in the state cross country meet and the football team won the state championship. In 2005, the baseball team won the state championship, and in the spring of 2006, artificial turf for the stadium was installed. Other athletic, academic, and musical groups won individual honors, and teams or ensembles garnered state recognition, while a number of seniors received academic honors as well as scholarships to further their education. Hickman was recognized by Newsweek magazine as a top-rated high school for 2005, 2006, and 2007. The College Board and the Sie- mens Foundation selected Hickman to receive the 2006-07 Siemens Award for Advanced Place- ment. This award is given to 50 high schools nationally that lead the nation in AP participation and performance in the mathematics and science disciplines and included a national student award winner, Evan Lin. Hickman has been accepted as an Advanced Placement school by the College Board. In 2008, Bianca Aaron was honored as a Gates Millennium Scholar which pays for college expenses for both undergraduate and graduate studies through a doctoral program. In 2008, Hickman also received ful accreditation status from the North Central Association Ad- vanced Ed for meeting all standards for secondary schools. June 5, 2010, marks the 82nd anniversary of a graduating class from Hickman High School. The class of 2010 was an outstanding group of students with two (2) National Merit Scholars who were recognized for academic work in the areas of math, science, English, and Social Stud- ies. During these years, a remarkable parade of talented Hickman students have translated their hopes and dreams into achievements that should inspire today's graduates. The challenges that face today's graduates are varied. Opportunities to be of service to self, family, and community abound. This year in particular, we honor all Kewpies who have served their country in different ways. Wherever they go, and whatever achievements they may claim, each of today's eighty- second graduating class members will carry memories of their days at Hickman High School. OFFICERS
