ACADEMIC REGALIA

The traditional caps and gowns worn by students and faculty in the academic procession havebeen 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 1893and 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 itslong, pointed sleeve. The master's gown has a longer, narrow, closed, pointed sleeve extendingbelow the knee; the arm is passed through a slit at the elbow. In contrast, the doctor's gown hasa full, bell-shaped sleeve with three bars of velvet. The opening of this gown is faced with widevelvet bands which may be black or of a color indicating the general field of learning of thewearer, 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 passesaround the neck and extends down the back. The colors of the silk lining exposed in the centerof the hood are those of the college or university which conferred the degree.

HICKMAN HIGH SCHOOL'S 83RD GRADUATING CLASS115 YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL

High school in Columbia began in the 1880s, and by 1889, Columbia established atwo-year high school at 713 Rogers Street, the current site of Jefferson Junior HighSchool. The course of study was adjusted to three years in 1895, and to four years in1896. Extracurricular activities naturally evolved. A literary society was formed in1898, and a choral union, orchestra, and debate team were established in 1899. Sportsteams were already present, although the district did not provide paid coaches.

Soon overcrowding at Columbia High School became a concern. In 1909, the com-munity approved the demolition of the old school at Ninth and Rogers and the buildingof a new high school on that site. The new structure held the district's first gymnasiumand a physical education credit was added to graduation requirements. A coach was em-ployed to work with athletic teams and an art/music teacher was hired, providing thefirst elective courses. The first edition of the yearbook, the Cresset, was published in1912. Commercial studies, teacher training, home economics, and mechanical drawingcourses were added to the curriculum in 1913.

World War I brought changes to Columbia High School: the German Club was re-moved from the list of extracurricular activities in 1915 and a Current Events Club wasestablished in 1918. In 1917, students over 14 years of age were excused from attendingschool to be farm workers as part of the war effort.

Following World War I, Columbia continued to grow. In 1925, the community de-cided to build a new high school on the David H. Hickman estate. Construction soonbegan, and Hickman High School opened in 1927. At the time, some complained thatthe school was located too far out in the countryside! Students in the high school manualtrades program built some of the furniture used to furnish the new school. In 1927, thefirst 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 eco-nomic pinch. For the first time, the district operated with a deficit; however, the highschool building was expanded, thanks to low interest loans and the Works Progress Ad-ministration. While the district's special education program was eliminated, Hickman'sfirst counselor was hired. On-the-job training and employment for credit were added tothe curriculum, and Hickman's verse speaking choir performed throughout the state.Kewpie wrestlers garnered three state championships during this decade. In 1938, Hick-man's marching band first performed, and the Student Council financed purchase of theband's first uniforms in the early 1940s. Hickman's first operetta, 1944's Tune In, beganan annual tradition that continued for many years.

During World War II, curricular changes reflected the times; courses in internationalrelations, 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 of-fered for the first time in 1948, and the tradition of requiring sophomores to wear bean-ies was restored. Many Hickman graduates served in the armed forces, some givingtheir lives in service to their country.

The end of segregation in the school system occurred in the late 1950s. Hickman'sfaculty voted in 1952 to adopt competitive letter grading (E,S,M,I,F) in place of the pre-vious Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory grading system. Continued expansion of facilitiesresulted in new construction. High school special education and adult classes were initi-ated in 1955. Vocational classrooms, laboratories, and the swimming pool were built in1956, doubling Hickman's classroom space. During this decade, many graduates servedin the Korean Conflict.

In 1960, Hickman established an honors program to add academic rigor. The greenand white sophomore beanies were worn for the last time in 1961. David Wheeler wasnamed Hickman's first Presidential Scholar in 1964, the inaugural year of the nationalrecognition program where two outstanding high school graduates per state per year arerecognized for stellar academic achievement. The Kewpies finally beat the JeffersonCity Jays in football in 1966, the same year William "Bill" Galeota became a Presiden-tial Scholar, followed in 1967 by Robert "Corky" Cartwright. Four state athletic champi-onships in three different sports proved Hickman an intimidating opponent during the1960s. Again, Hickman graduates were in service to their country during the Vietnamconflict.

The 1970s brought district growth and expanded opportunities for Hickman girls, in-cluding the election of Hickman's first female Student Government President and an-other Presidential Scholar in 1972, Susan Wakerlin (Durkin). By the mid-1970s, Hick-man offered competitive women's teams in tennis, basketball, golf, swimming, track,and volleyball. A growing music program produced a number of outstanding perform-ers. Overcrowding, seemingly a constant issue in Columbia's schools, became a con-cern; in 1973 a second high school, Rock Bridge, opened and the Bruins, along with theJefferson City Jays, became Hickman's greatest rivals.

National recognition came to Hickman in the 1980s, as Hickman was chosen to re-ceive the Excellence in Education (Blue Ribbon) Award in 1984-85. President RonaldReagan visited Hickman in 1987. Additional athletic and fine arts recognitions wereearned by Hickman students, and four additional Presidential Scholars were selected,Melissa Parisi (Onzay) in 1983, Eleanor Kaufman in 1985 and in 1988, both of Mis-souri's scholars were Kewpies, Scott Murphy and Becca Dillingham (Learmouth).

In the 1990s, Hickman was again nationally recognized as a Blue Ribbon school inthe 1994-96 competition, and four additional Presidential Scholars were named, DavidKung 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 technology. Computer labs were developed and op-portunities for true-to-life experiences were expanded, including the nationally recog-nized Columbia Aeronautics Space Association (CASA) program. The strong, diverseathletic tradition continued. Within this decade, Hickman won six state championshipsin 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 newmillennium. Again, Presidential Scholars were announced, Kate Swearengen in 2000,Saritha Komatireddy in 2001, Ben Robinson in 2002, Doris Lin in 2003, Jessica Hwangin 2009, and in 2011 HHS produced an eighteenth Presidential Scholar, Eric Young. Anew commons and classroom addition opened fall 2003, along with extensive renova-tions throughout the building in 2004 and again in 2008. Over recent years, Hickmanstudents have experienced numerous scholastic accolades, excelled in the arts, and wonmany state championships in the field of athletics.

Hickman's most recent graduating classes were comprised of outstanding groups ofstudents with several National Merit Scholars, recognized for academic achievements inthe areas of math, science, English, and social studies. During the subsequent years thatfollowed their graduation dates, a remarkable parade of talented Hickman studentstranslated their hopes and dreams into achievements that should inspire the currentgraduating class of Kewpies. The challenges that face today's graduates are varied. Op-portunities to be of service to self, family, country, and community abound. Whereverthey go and whatever achievements they may claim, each graduate will carry memoriesof their days at Hickman High School.
