Its members are chosen by the people and belong to' the school as its legal executives. This.body discusses with the Superintendent every policy which is introduced into the management of the schools. It has charge of the school funds and provides for the needs of school. It supplies us with all the necessary incidentals which keep our buildings clean and comfortable for teachers and pupils. Without this important group of school officers it would be impossible to maintain an ef- fective system of public education. We are very proud of the fact that this group has not incurred debts for our school district. Throughout the period of financial stress for the past several years our teachers have been paid on time and the bills paid in full. Only through the foresight of the Board of Education has this finan- cial stability been possible. Our Board of Education does not lose sight of the fact that the one main function of the school is to provide for the student. we may disagree with this Board of many minor points, but it can never be said that the Board of Education ever favors any individual interest, local or foreign, or is ever influenced by political or sectarian organizations. THE MOTHERS' CLUB This, the third year of the existence of the Mothers' Club, under the capable leadership of the following officers, Mrs. G. B. Reynolds, president, Mrs. Wesley-Leverich, Vice-president, and Mrs. Eugene Herrmann, Secretary and Treasurer, has been a very busy and pleasant one. Much of the work of the organization is carried on by the six standing committees: one to look after the interests of each of the four High School classes, a House Com ittee, and a Grounds Committee. Throughout the year the main endeavor of the club has been to bring a closer relationship between faculty and parents, and to promote social activities for the students. An indication qf the support given by the parents was demonstrated by the unprecedented attend- ance at a Bridge Party given for the purpose of pro- viding a Christmas Party for the students, and also made it possible to have their annual boat excursion in May, without any difficultyf There has been a program of many dances given by the various classes, all of which have been liberally attended by the parents. As usual, the refreshments have been furnished and served by the Mothers' Club. , One of the bright spots of this year's activities was a night meeting, which was held on December 4. The attendance was very large, and the club appreciated the entertainment given by the Dramatic Club. The officers elected for next year are: Mrs. Chas. Galt, President, Mrs. John Woodward, Vice-president, and Mrs. I. T. Popplewell, Secretary and Treasurer. The club looks forward to a pleasant and busy year under the leadership of these officers. 31 ormfn 'KMWI VICE Wm. Ward of ffiiucafion t y,CE. pk .

Unlike other dances given during the year, many besides students were invited. All parents were urged to attend. The students with permission invited many of their friends. Aside from the Uout- sidersu many students came. Thus there was e good attendance. The student body again showed how willing it was to co- operate with Seniors particularly.- X The decoration was of rainbow effedt. The orchestra pit and the punch stand were under large arches. The various colors of the rainbow harmonized with the colors of the girls' dresses. One watching could easily see that this dance, as former danc was a huge success. t -'.f.l:' 0114: . ,rf f use clgu' ,F 3 , ., f In M1 115'-4 '2 1 ! e.if2gi2j?31'1!

We began to walk aimlessly about the halls of an alreaiy crowded school. As the upperclassmen en- countered Freshnen every way they turned, those lofty personages took it upon themselves to teach these in- significant people just where they belonged. Within a few days the school appeared normal again. The Fresh- men, being eager to learn, quickly grasped the idea of where to run from where. We, as a class, showed an over- whelming enthusiasm for all school activities and before long, we were completely adjusted to high school life. During this year, our snonsors were Miss Claus, and Miss Hofriehter. Ou: iistinguishei officers were: Joe Tut- hill, Presiientg Bunny Gregory, Vice Presidentg and Curtis Owen, Secretary Treasurer. We considered ourselves very fortunate when Miss Claus told us she L11 rjreed to be our sponsor for another year. Because of the large number of people in the class, the boys and girls hai separate home rooms and seperate class officers. Mr, Westfpll was sponsor of the boys in their home roon. Our officers during this year were: Lhry Alice Skillington, Jane Conjton, Curtis Owen, ani Joe Tuthill. Aside from taking part in the annual operetta: the Valen- tine ianoe, 2 success financially Pnl socially, was our first real contribution to the school functions. The ,junior history of a cl npromn are made '54, I am sure, Badino and Miss paring for this year always represents an epoch in the ass, for it is this year that plans for the and carried out. This particular class of will ever remember its sponsors, Miss Hofriehter, for their cooperation in pre- perty of farewell to the class of '35. In orler to finance this gala affair it was necessary to raise that elusive medium of exchange called money. Being very industrious people, we lost no time to be the initial class to serve lunches at the Volley Bell Tournament. A few wueks later we were urging our friends to buy tickets for the Junior Benefit Show we were staging. And every noon hour an e1 sm-RXm'4ex1,e' .I 1, 1 , ,,-QM? one could obtain the most delicious candy ever sold from the 'Junior Candy Counteru. Finally our quota was reached, and we became hosts to our departing school chums. After having seen 'When Ladies Heet', at the Shubert-Rialto, we hurried to the Park Plaza where we had su per and danced to the enchanting music of Gy. 01ian's orchestra. During this prominent year we chose for our class officers! Curtis Owen, Presidentg Winifred Judy, Vice President: Gilbert Reynolds, Treasurer: Anna Uhle, Secretary. Now, the senior year - the realization of our dreams! It is during this year that we probably best appreciate high school life. When we realize that there are just a few months before we shall be 'grads', we try to do our best so that those who come after may look to our class for an example. We endeavor to unite even more now than before to make our dance and other activities successful accomplish- ment S 0 For our officers during this our last year, we elected. Joe Tuthill, President: Uany.Alice Skillington, Secretaryg Charles Grimm, Treasurer: and linifred Judy, Vice President. The first dance of the year is traditionally given by the Seniors. As the season when we give the dance is autumn, it was most appropriate that we use an autumn setting in the style of decoration. Will any of us ever forget the leaf excursions we took in order to carry out this scheme? However, judging from congratulations, we were amply re- warded for our efforts. Until one is a Senior there is no realization of the versatility of one's thoughts and works. Aside from the dance the first part of the year, this class is occupied with the choosing of class colors, flowers and motto, and with the preparation of material for the 'Crest' - the school annual - edited by the senior class. For our colors we have chosen burgandy and gold. Talisman rose for the flowers, and after much discussion 'Forward by strength and courage' for the motto.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY We '51-'32 Freshmen sailed into a new port, active, and desirous of seeing uwhat made the wheels go 'roundn. We were the first freshman class to ex- plore the new domains of the J. M, Vogt High School and were in troubled waters, as usual, when the Soph- omores discovered us. The girls gave us a humiliating but enjoyable party, mush preferable to the boys' re- ception. The captains of our fortunes during our ini- tial high school year were Miss Hanke and Mr. Schulze, who steered us safely around all obstacles. We presen- ted an enjoyable dance, the setting that of a spring garden, which was our first big enterprise. As sophomores, we launched into the deep with some- what fewer apprehensions than the preceding year. Under the sagacious captains, Miss Claus and Mr. Westfall, we began our journey. We showed our true class colors by having the highest scholastic averages of all classes. In all activities the sophomores were well represented, especially in sports and in the operetta, WThe Qpeen's Guard.W One beautiful spring day the sophomore girls arrived at school arrayed in all their past finery, for it was Ukid dayu by someone's proclamation. Toward the end of the school year we cooperated with the freshmen in giving a joint dance, attractively decorated as a beach- garden, with glamorous red and white stripes prevailing. Again we ventured into new territories, this time as juniors, confident in ourselves under the title Uupperclass men.u We came back to school hearty and with full speed ahead. Our main endeavor centered upon raising money for the Junior-Senior Prom, which we tackled im ediately. We started work by having a food sale at the fall volleyball tournament, at which we practised for our season's sales- manship of candy. The Junior dance really demonstrated how deeply immersed we were in candy affairs, for the setting was a veritable uCandy Land.n Then came the Junior Benefit Show, a play, WNew Brooms,' presented by the Brown Lyceu Company of Chicago. During the year we presented several well-attended afternoon dances. Our leaders this year were Miss Claus and Miss Hickman, who proved very efficient. The crowning activity of our junior year, nThe Prom,W we will do our best to make enjoyable. The class officers of this year were: George Tuthill, President: Mary Louise Gal Vice-Presidentg Anno Liise Bangert, Secretary: and Reynold Carlson, Treasurer. We are now prepared to launch into our last exploration, and thence, into the great beyond. ' t JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM Well, trusty diary, here comes another big event to your pages. It will soon be May 29th, the evening of our annual Wprom'. We are eagerly looking forward to this dinner dance to be given at the Congress Hotel. The Juniors are expecting epproxime ely fifty guests. This annual farewell party is the most important social event of the school ye r. As usual, there will be program dances and others. The Tower Room engaged for this evening will be decorated in class colors. The Seniors, having attended the Npronn of last year, anxiously'await their pleasure of being invited the guests ofthe Junior Class. The Juniors, having heard of the unusual occasion of last year, expectantly look forward to entertain- ing the Seniors Eagerly we are awaiting this most joyous evening. ,ff f- my fi? 7 Ya X r,':hT,, ii! ffq?NNgNqjij?QQQS5,!qXy!xIfl'aiTzLq?cgX igfi x Nt.. xXXXXxXf'X T1 I XJ 'h f i ff.

For the first few days, these perplexed neophytes, arms piled high with much used text books, were invariably heard to ask, mWhere do we go next?' Under the leadership of our presidents, Helen Caldwell for the girls and Burdette Gemache for the boys, the fresh- men upheld their portion of the years' activities. Gur sponsors, Miss Hanke and Mr. Schultz, aspired to have the rough edges smoothed off by the end of the year. We leave the results of their efforts to the judgment of the upper classmen. At Easter time the freshmen joined the Sophomores in giving one of the choicest dances of the season, Palm Beach, in all of its gayety, with vividly colored beach umbrellas and lawn chairs, was transported to our auditorium. During our second year, having become accustomed to ways and means of high school, we have entered into all of the activities of school with zest. At the class election the following officers were chosen: President, Josephine Montrey and Stanley Mounce: Vice President, Mary Francis O'Brien, Richard Berger: Secretary, Jordis Land and Eugene Herrmann: Treasurer, Hilda Steinbach and Leroy Warner. The scene for our mid-year revels was again in the Ferguson High School Gym, this time gayly decorated in modernistic design of blue and green. The Sophomore dance, one of the prettiest of the year, was enjoyed by everyone. Indications are that both boys and girls of the class of 1936 will contribute their share to future ' scholastic achievements and school activities. We hope that we may fully reqlize the standards laid down by our predecessors. 3-'gl' we - V - Q w ' R, gs ,f gf., 'wen-,153 4,-gnu,-g ',, ..., I -Y - 'I ""K .

This was the largest class ever registered in Ferguson High School. Their main problem was getting to class on time. In a short time this was successfully overcome. The class was divided , and the girls were under the supervision of Miss Hanke, while the boys were sponsored by Mr. Schulze. The girls chose for their officers: Marie Lueckerath, president: Sophie May McCallum, vice-president: Dorothy June Beach, secretary: and Christine Bakker, treasurer. The boys elected: Charles Archambault, president: John David Schweitzer, vice-president and secretary: and Lawrence Bohne, treasurer. The largest activity of the year was the dance given April 7, 1934. A collegiate decora- tion was the style used. Many pennants from various high schools and colleges hung from the walls. 4 I .x r A 'm f ll' v ' ' 1 .,32y:.g- I A arfgqff: -U . 1 -'j . .:,' 4, ,V ..,'.. qv -'Q-I-1' '-.-'i-'4.

Once again Miss Badino and the performers of Q -'Fig the annual operetta staged another tremendous suc- 4 cess. nPick1es,W a musical comedy, presented March 16 and 17, met with the applause it so richly deser- ved. bk. With the strains of what I consider the prettiest if, FH: song of the operetta in mind, I hurry hone to jot this W' ' account down while each incident is so fresh in my mind I can strive to give you the intense feeling of admira- tion and appreciation I have. o .3 KQN it fa K 'Q 9 'hi xl LM, 2 O I' J - YW' ' The scene of nPicklesW is laid in Vienna at the present time during an annual carnival celebrations Each year Lady Vivian, a beautiful widow, comes to Schloss Meiningen inn, to seek her daughter who is sup- posed to be dead. However, Lady Vivian persistently returns to search for her. Jonas H. Pennington, weary of his work in America, comes to Vienna with his daughter, June, in order to forget that he is president of the Peter Piper Pickles Company. Imagine his surprise on arriving, when he sees Peter Piper Pickles advertisements everywhere he looks. J. Jennison Jones, his most expert advertising agent, has just arrived! Wishing to increase his fortune, Kinski, comical chief of the secret service, plans to find Lady Vivian's daughter. After a futile, superficial search, he persuades Louisa, a maid of the inn, to pretend she is the long lost daughter. However, through Louisa's stupidity, their plans aren't successful. A band of gypsies under the leadership of Jigo visits the carnival in hope of marauding the merrymakers.- Jones proves himself as efficient in loveemaking as in advertis- ing when he courts Ilona, the supposed daughter of Jigo. I 1 V r I After he observed the friendship between them, Jigo orders Ilona to lead Jones to the camp so that he can rob him. Because of her disobedience, Jigo exiles Ilona from the tribe. Wishing to reconcile Ilona and Jigo , Lady Vivian, Pennington, June, Jones, and Arthur Crefont, a young artist in love with June, accompany Ilona to the gypsy camp. Because Ilona longs for her unknown mother and because Lady Vivian grieves for her lost daughter, they wish before a magic pool to see the faces of each. Though not yet sure of their relationship, Ilona agrees to live with Lady Vivian as her daughter. A short while later, Lady Vivian recognizes a locket of Ilona as the one her baby wore when she was lost. Thus the relationship of the two is happily restored. ' Jones, after seeing one of Crefont's paintings, or- ders several, thereby assuring him'the finances he needs to marry June. Since Lady Vivian and Pennington become engaged shortly after Ilona and Jones' engagement, Pennington and Jones become father and son, an adjustment which pleases Jones extremely. The success of the operetta may be compared to the happy ending of the story of WPickles.n Each actor played his part as well as each character in the story strove for his own achievement. So did each actor succeed as he tried The many numbers beautifully danced showed that much care and training had preceded their exposition. Encores were not at all infrequent. The singing is also an item worthy of much note. The chorus as well as the principals thrilled the audience with their song. The proprietor of the inn and his associates added much to the success of the operetta with their singing and dancing. John Crowe, who made the first appearance, sang the first song. He played the part of a porter. Hans, played by Charles Grimm, was the proprietor of the inn. He sang a song of welcome to the American visitors he was expecting.The parts of Bumski and Rumski, comical policemen of Vienna,'were played by Gilbert Reynolds and David Owen. ' The leading parts were taken by Wilda Lewis, Joe Tuthill, George Tuthill, Harry Sullivan, Anna Luise Bangert, Curtis Owen, Mary Frances True, Ada McKee, and George Moloney. Minor parts were played by Reynold Carlson, Marcella Popnlewell, Duane McCal- lum, Knowlton Caplan, Preston Knox, and Oliver Greeves. Between the second and third acts Wilda Lewis, representing the cast, presented a bouquet of roses to Miss Badino. These roses represented, besides their love, a token of appreciation for her efforts and patience in directing the operetta. The music played by Betty Rose Skinker and Virginia Grobengieser, pianists-wlichard Crowe, violinist--George Barton, drummiste-and Olaf Fuller and Philip Backlin, trumpeters, added a great deal to the success. dThe stage was under the direction of Miss Hofriehter assisted by Paul Allmeyer, Harry Sullivan, Dave Owen, Lawrence Allmeyer, and Billy Zeppenfeld. The problems of property and business manager were solved by Knowlton Caplan and Stephen Doss, respectively. The tickets and programs were handled by Marguerite Bieler, Alice Sassenrath, Edna Lix, and Vadim Neklutin. The work involved in this production became nothing when Miss Badino expressed her satisfaction in the results Those who took part were amply rewarded. ., 5-Q-.4 XY y L it X X Gm 1 "'--LQQ-L,-1. 731 1 . nxiiimmrc cmna This year the Dranxtic Club was again organ- ized with Miss Hofriehter as sponsor.

The play is being directed by Miss Lucille Hickman and will be presented near the midfle of May. WShirt Sleevesu is a domestic cnmedy of the pres- ent, depicting the financial and domestic upheavals of a middlefclass American family composed of Mr. and. Mrs. Franklin Rand and their four children, Donald, Diana, Theodore, and Esther. The family closely ap- proaches the aristocracy of which Diana and Julia, the mother, are very proud. Donald, the family reactionary, is in love with, and later in the play marries, Margie Scanlon, who is opposed by the family because she is the daughter of a law-breaking father. Sophisticated Diana has her trunks packed for college with baggagemen ready to take them when news comes of the failure of the bank. This means that the Rands have nothing left except their home, which is mortgaged, and their furniture, which is subsequent- ly auctioned to save the house. As the play progresses, the family passes through their crises, reacting individually to the disaster according to their personalities with Ted and Esther, the fifteen year old twins, showing a true aggressive, and democratic spirit in contrast to Diana and her mother who evidence a shell of pretense. When Mr. Rand, with a certain heroism, again finds work, the shirt sleeve cycle has once more been completed, and the third genera- tion begins anew. The play attains a happy ending when Margie is accepted into the Rand family. ' The comedy is aided by Theodore the Ukidn brother, and Kitty, the maid, with her sweetheart, Elmer. The inevitable villain is Richard Crandall, who holds the mortgage on the Rand home. Diana's sweetheart, Norman Aldrich, is a conventional young man whose limited fin- ances make him positively submissive to Diana's whims: I THE CAST OF NSEIRT SLEEVESU Esther Rand... Theodore Rand...

The subject to be debated was: Resolved that the United States should adopt the main feature of the British Radio Control. The sides were as follows: The affirmative: Eleanor Adams, Knowl- ton Caplan: the negative: Stanley Mounce, Walter Niles. The substitutes were: Duane McCallum and William Rosen- baun. Practice debates were held with Maplewoodftwo debatesl, Normandy Ctwo debatesj, and Brentwood. Official debates were as follows: St. Charles, St. John's, and Assumption. Later in the year an assembly was given on the sub- ject: Resolved that a cake of soap is better than a tooth- brush. Upholding the affirmative side of the question were William Rosenbaum, and Duane McCallum: those of the negative were Vadim Neklutin and Claire Conradi. After this assembly there were many club debates given at the regular meetings. The officers and members of the club are: Louis Wehmer, President, Vadim Neklutin, Vice-President, Stanley Mounce, Secretary, Eugene Herrmann, Treasurer. Knowlton Caplan, Oliver Greeves, Billy Zeppenfeld, Duane McCallum, William Rosenbaum, Walter Niles, Virginia Grobengieser, Eleanor Adams, claire Conradi, Corrinne Bier, and Ralph Behle. Through the interest of Mr. McCluer, we have been I THE HI-Y CLUB The Hi-Y Club excels th 'previous Hi-Y Clubs of Ferguson because we have had the pleasure of having an excellent sponsor, Al Behle, who has worked almost continuously throughout the year gaining for us liber- ties whichwe have not before known. Mr. W. F. Lewis put in charge of us a person, who being nearer our own age, seemed closer to us than any other sponsor whom we have known. Mr. Behle so far has obtained several speakers, and on several occasions has himself given some very interesting talks that later ended in very good discussions. The speakers whom he obtained were: Mr. Zielienske, one of his classmates, who talked on high school and college athletics. With the cooperation of Reverend Egger, Mr. Behle was able to obtain for us Reverend Manta, from New Orleans who gave a talk on WRace Prejudicen, which was enjoyed by all. Later Reverend Egger gave a talk which proved to be not only profitable, but also humorous. The club tried an interesting experiment this year, that of having the Hi-Y Club open to every boy who could gain the friendship of the majority of the members. Be- cause we have what we thought was a rather intelligent group of boys, lefidopted what is known as the blackball system of eliminating members or suggested members from the club. The blackball rule states that if a member if blackballed by one or more members of the club, he is auto- matically dropped. Because many thought this rule a little too severe, it was changed to three or more blackballs for elimination. able to secure the playing of members of the of the Y.M.C.A. eral occasions Probably than promoting the school gymnasium, which made possible many interesting basketball games amon5'the club.

Boys and girls, strug- gling with huge lunch baskets, hurry down the gang plank. The boat moves majestically from the shore. It takes a course on one side of the river and moves along there with m eh grace and serenity, An exact contrast to the calm- ness of the boat is the confusion of its oc- cupants. There is dancing, singing,'lunching, walking, ruzming, talking and laughing--all done at once. 'But is it not this tumult that is the fum? Toward sunset the excitement wanes and small groups gather to discuss the day. Empty baskets and clothing are finally collected, and those fresh young sailors of the morning depart from the boat, weary from their play but very regretful that the day is over.

Although it suffered 1 few defects, the "fight" in our team surprised everyone. The showing that our boys made against the big Brent- wood team, and the place that they won in the District Tournament were enough to fill each and every student with school spirit. , Our chances for the first place in the County League looked fairly good this year, as only two reg- ulars, Elliott and Bowers, were lost through graduation. However, the remaining players were all very small, Fer- guson having one of the smallest teams in the County Division. This year, the teams of the County Division played a double round robin, that is, each team played every other school twice, once on the home floor and once away. Our fighting team showed that they could take it, and give it, too. Many times they played into extra periods because of a tie score. They battled the huge Brentwood team, the champions of the County Division, to a standstill twice, losing by only one or two points. A tie for second place was finally obtained for Ferguson. As Joe Montrey was the only regular who played, Fer- guson lost out entirely in the Normandy Tournament. By far the biggest event of the basketball season was the St. Louis District Tournament. Two busses were engaged to carry the enthusiastic 'rootersu to the games. Ferguson battled its way to second place in the UBW bracket, besting Chaminade, Principia, and Wellston. The undefeated team of Country Day woni irst place. In the game with Wells- ton, which played into two extra periods, Tuthill saved the game twice by making free throws after the gun was fired. Coach Schulze, during this game, exclaimed, nThat's the fight in'est team live ever hadl' , Coach Schulze had as material for the team: P. Grimm, fCaptainJ, W. Grimm, George Tuthill, Jody Montrey, Charles Parker, Dave Owen, Gene Herrmann, Herbert Robinson, Roy Warner, and Robert King. THE WRESTLING TEAM The wrestling club this year is the strongest group which has represented Ferguson in this sport. The club sponsored by Mr. B. L. Westfall, won third place in the Normandy meet and third place in the state tournament. Twenty-one boys participated. In each weight one or more boys was eligible. During the season eight bouts were scheduled. Wrestling is becoming one of the major sports of today. High schools and colleges are adopting it not only because of the honors that may be won but also because it is body building, and healthful. The Greeks and other nations used it in warfare. They had perfected wrestling to a fine degree. The art of wrestling has been lost for centuries. It was not until lately that the world again has begun to take an interest in wrestling as a sport Wrestlers in the Normandy Tournament from Ferguson were: Charles Thompson, Harry Van Middlesworth, Elwood Roberts, Harold Hem inghaus, Alden Staples, Raymond Fry, Anthony Kluefer, Wesley Brandau, Harry Chrismer, Joseph Montrey, Frank Schuler, Herbert Robinson, Roger Farmer, and Wesley Leveridh. Winners in the Normandy Tournament from Ferguson were: Wesley Leverich, lst. Heavy, Roger Farmer, lst. 165, Joe Montrey, lst. 145, and Anthony Kluefer, 2nd. 125. Places of Schools in the Tournament were: lst. Normandy 51 points 3rd. Ferguson 25 points 2nd. U. City 26 points 4th. Kirkwood ll points For placing third in the Normandy Tournament, the team received a beautiful black and silver wall plaque. D WRESTLING SCHEDULE DATE SCHOOLS WON BY SCORE Jan. 24 W. M.

The girls scored two decisive victories over Brent- wood in the finals 15-9 and 15-8 after previously having trounced Fairview and Riverview. The boys' team found the going rafher rough in the semifinals when it was nosed out by Brentwood, who in the finals soundly troumced Riverview two straight games for the title. Members of the Ferguson Boys' team who took part in the tournament are: Joe Montrey, John Boelhauf, Charles Miller, Frank Schuler, Wesley Leverich, Charles Parker, David Owen, Charles Grimm, and Charles Henry Grim . One of the most interesting features of the tour- nament was the clash between the coaches of the various schools and the Brentwood champions.

GIRLS' VOLLEY-BHLL volley-ball, an increasing popular game, is one of the Ferguson girls' biggest activities. Because it is less strenuous than basket-ball and other games, many welcome it with much more enthusiasm. Can it be that this sport is just lately becoming popular? Can the reason that there are so few Seniors interested be attributed to the upper c1assmen's out- side activities? There were just nine girls willing to play! The girls played two games. They won the one at Ritenour, while University City won the other. The Junior Class has always been an exceptionally active one in all events. Their athletic teams are very strong, and so we were not surprised to hear that they had won their games from Ritenour, and University City. Many of the girls for the varsity team were chosen from this class. The Sophomores were pleased to announce that they, like the Juniors, won both of their games also. These games were played with University City and Wellston. Whether it is that they wouldn't be outdone by the upperclassmen or whether they are just marvelous athletes, we don't know, but the Freshmen won all of their games. The victories of these games from Wellston and University City were enthusiastically celebrated. But all nrazzinn aside, we do truly congratulate you and wish you much more success. The Varsity chosen from all classes gave much evidence of its ability to play well when its members won their first and only game. The score of this game played with Normandy was 8 to 57. The members of the Varsity were: Eleanore Scoville, Jessie Schaffner, Mary Alice Skillington, Anna. Uhle, Josephine Aydt, Anna Louise Bangert, Mary Catherine Crafton, Jane Donovan, Esther Hegeman, Mary Frances True, Maxine Ward, Helen Caldwell, Josephine Montrey, Jessie Nessing, and Virginia Willer. . V A X GIRLS ' BASKETBALL Under the efficient coaching of Miss Hofriehter, the girls' basketball teams have spent another success- ful season. The principal team, the varsity, showed its strength by remaining undefeated throughout the season. The varsity players were: Esther Hageman, Mary Alice Skillington, Jane Compton, Mary Catherine Grafton, Josephine Montrey, Josephine Aydt, Helen Caldwell, and Jessie Schaffner.

The junior team included: Mary Catherine Crafton, Maxine Ward, Esther Hageman, Jane Compton, Josephine Aydt, Jane Donovan, Gene Zeppenfeld, Edna Liz, Henrietta Morotz, Anna Luise Bangert, and Veronica Lee. The first sophomore team consisted of: Virginia Willer, Marguerite Bieler, Hilda Steinbach, Josephine Montrey, Helen Caldwell, Jessie Nessing, Louise Roden- bnrg, and Jordis Land. The second sophomore team players were: Cecil Hoch, Doris Killian, Jeanne La Berge, Ruth Simpson, Harriet Orwig, Dell Hotchkiss, and Danna White.

One often comes into contact with towns whose streets are named after the various trees or for the great men of the nation: but seldom does one find a town whose streets, with but few exceptions, are named to commemoratexuilrous of its old substantial families. Such, however, is the case of Ferguson. Perhaps it was genuine curiosity which caused me to make inquiries in regard to the streets of Ferguson, but nevertheless I did. A visit to Miss George Case, who is very well informed on the early history of Ferguson, af- forded me a fund of knowledge of the whys and wherefores " of our streets' names. Practically all of the older families of Ferguson are represented in some way, among which are the Herefords, Tiffins, Januarys, Cases, Paynes, and many others. The main street of Ferguson, however, did not receive its name in this way. Florissant Boulevard is named for the present small town of Florissant, situated four miles north of Ferguson. In the old days Florissant was the main met- ropolis in this'vicinity and Ferguson was merely a small sub- urb in which business men of St. Louis, whofwished to get their families away from the turmoil of the city, established their homes. North Elizabeth Road was the old route to Flor- issant and, of course, was called Florissant Road. Later, when a new paved road connecting these towns was laid, it became Florissant Boulevard, the present main street of Fer- guson. The Hereford family seems to have been composed of many members and they must have been very popular, for we find a number of streets named after them. Hereford Avenue was named for Dr. John R. Hereford, who for many years was a prominent physician in this town. Other members of this family whose names were given to streets are Adelle, Annette, Mary, Emily, Gerald, Nancy, Scott, Powell, and Robert. lii 1 . , V Q The Tiffin family is commemorated by the following streets, all of which were cut through their vast property, Tiffin, Randolph, Harrison, Thomas, Hern, and Shirley. The name Tiffin was extended to the blocks formerly known as Eleanor, and Florence, the latter being named for Florence Green. . r January, Machir, Abston, and Dade are named for the January family whose property at one time included the Wabash Club. Undoubtedly the name January brings up fond memories to many Ferguson residents, for January Pond has been the scene of the great many skating parties for years past. Lake Street received its name because of its location near this body of water. Another old fardly represented in this group is the Case family, who owned a large amount of property in Fer- guson. Georgia is named for Miss Georgia Case, and Julia for her sisterg Estelle is named for a friend of the family. Wesley Avenue was originally called Hudson for a daughter of the Case family. It was later changed to Wes-' ley, being named for John Wesley. Since the Methodist Church is located on this street, the name is very appropriate. In order to shorten the distance from South Elizabeth Avenue to Dr. Douglas' residence on Florissant, and the one school of the town, a movement led by Mr. Charles B. Adams agitating the cutting of a street from South Elizabeth Avenue to Florissant Boulevard, resulting in the laying of Adams Avenue. W Elizabeth Avenue, the southern part of which was ori- ginally called LarkinPlace was named for Mrs. Larkin. Darst Road, of course, was named for the Darst family, who have been prominent in Ferguson for many years. Other streets which received their names from old families are Bangert, Bruce, Clark, Blackburn, Throughman, Chanslor, Berlin, Graf, Carson, and Miller Place. Hartnett Avenue, which was laid out by the Darst family was named for the Hartnett family, who were related to the Darsts and Januarys. Blanche Avenue was named for Blanche Miller, who is now Mrs. Lattimore, and Lawrence Place was named by Mr. Epple for his grandson. Later'a new street called Epple was laid out. Pawel, jmetf, and Avenues -received their names from Place me named. for Mr. Allen who a state senator.

Almeda. llenke, but it is commonly known as Almeia. There are also e. number of streets that were named for the people, who laid them out, among which are Louisa, Roberta, Jean, Rowles, and Walter, the latter of which was named for a. friend of the Bowles family. Tzmstell Place was cut by Mr. John Atwood through his property and named for a member of the family. Barat Street was named for the child of the engineer who laid out the place. Thus for the streets our fair city! -.EIJANOR A 1 C. W. A. WORK In connection with the National Recovery Act and the Relief Administration, the Civil Works Act was inaugurated in this section December lst, 1933 and continued until February 15th, 1934. The Ferguson School District was allotted ap- proximately fifty workers in various capacities, and utilized this labor to make many improvements that - could not have been made and also to do much repair that effected a saving to the district. , Aside from the material benefit to the schools, many unemployed people were given work at a fair wage. For a number of weeks the school CWA payroll was 31,000 and that of the city was approximately the same. As a larger part of the workers resided in this trade area, the CWA projects played its part in recovery to this immediate vicinity. The painting of the entire exterior of the Central School saved the district the expense of this much needed repair. The chimneys and walls of the Central building were painted and windows fully caulked. Also in a nu ber of the rooms the desks were refinished and the gymmasiu walls were cleaned. The Central School yard was leveled and terraced. A The Griffith school got the lion's share of the im- provements by receiving a complete redecoration inside and out including a twenty foot terrace and a new flight of concrete steps. ' p The unsightly dump at the rear of the Vogt High School has been replaced by a terrace and level yard with retaining walls. Our trees received the necessary attention to prolong their lives and beauty.' Aside from the visible projects, men were available to assist the Janitors, clerical help was furnished the administration, and research workers gave and marked tests. It is regretted that our project was abandoned rather abruptly. The greater part of the work planned was done, but not completed. It is hoped that we will be able to ob- tain a few people to complete the sodding and concrete work. However, the year of the CHA till be remembered for a long time and the improvements rendered to this community has made Ferguson a better place in which to live.

The people who board these cars come under the category of the types so ably advertised by the circus barkers, that is, 'Here Yar Are.... .... .Something new and different, every moment a new thrill.W For the best observation post, make your football tackle for a seat near the center of the car as this position will not only enable you to see all the specimens getting on but also a goodly number who will be sprinkled in front. Turning to the serious side of such observations, one who is really interested in studying people and not just trying to make an impression, may see a representative from every type of home this nation knows make his or her triumphant entry into Rome-- that is, the Street Car. Two high school girls are the first to board. They carry a great number of books, which may or may not mean they are really studious, but the fact that they both open the books and actually read them erases all doubt, fwe know we are viewing a thirst for knowledgel.

At this point we emerge upon the main thoroughfare where what appears to be the Seventh Regiment will hop aboard. However, upon closer inspection, we see that it is not the Seventh Regiment Qaforesaidl but merely two or three business men, some husky matrons who are, for the benefit of those within hearing distance, discussing the results of the Uncle Terrence's operation, three or four small school boys: and,a pair of girls who amid a barrage df gm snapping think Caioudb that Clark cable is "just too perfectly adorable.' At this point, though, all continuity of thought is broken off by the wrath of the heavens, or to be more speci- fic, by the four little devils in the rear who have pulled the trolley off the wire and have caused Mrs. Van Whoosis seriously to strain her corset by looking back for the seat of the dis turbance.

For these peop I ve made an outlino of the most important points. According to Robert's, WRules of Order, Revised', there are six positions on the team. They are pitcher, guard, left wing, half-back, catcher, and forward. The object of the game is to hit the ball with the long club which you are given, as hard and as far as possible. You are then to run. These gestures seem very cowardly, but it is the only thing to do if you wish to become a good ball- player. After hitting the ball, run to the nearest white bag and stamp it vigorously. If the ball is not in sight, it is best to continue running until you come to another bag. I, like all good ball-players, stop on the second bag, fyou should always do this because one of your opponents might run up and tag you with the ball.J Don't start to play tag with this fellow, as he wishes, but walk demurely back to the bench. Some find it most nonchalant to whistle during this act. y The pitcher should try to throw the ball as hard as he can to see how many times he can hit the batter: while the catcher is to, as the name implies, catch as many of these balls as he can before the batter hits either him or the ball. The other players are to run around and keep the field clear from balls so that the players will not trip on them. ' These are the most important points. Although further hints might be given, I am sure that all who did not know how to play baseball prior to reading this little article, now fully understand the game. JANET WOODWARD. W' 5 I I r 1 LLONG A CITY STREET The noise and confusion of a busy city street whirls about one's ears, like the infernal monotonous music that sets the time for the mad dance of the world. Past a great fruit store a weft of air comes laden with the scent of over ripe bananas, late lemons and oranges: a moment later it blends with sickening fumes into the deadly smell of gas from a yawning hole in the pavement. All the dors of the world seem to meet and congregate here: metal, leather, paint and soap, rank cheese in some traveler's market basket, thick, stifling smoke from a steam engine, taking up gravel to feed a new patch of paving, mingled with the sw at of liarthy foreigners grouped about it. Across the bridge there is the dank odor of the river and, just beyond, the meat packing plant, the slaughter house, and the glue factory. The faint sweet smell of early violets fro an occasional flower vendor never stands a chance against these, even if the fish monger isn't trudging along beside him with his basket of evil smelling trout, herring, and carp. But picture for a mo ent the origin of all these obnoxious odors. A playful bubbling brook was the home of the rainbow colored trout that the fish monger displayed Cattle had grazed peacefully in the pastures where pearly dew had rested on the fragrant petals of the violets. The frame for this quiet picture was the stately trees that arched lavishly overhead, the back grou d was the blue, blue sky flecked with fleeoy, dancing clouds.

Something that makes this world worth , whileg makes people worth knowing: something that is necessary. Justthat personality is, is difficult to say in so many words, but it may be described as that'happy, vivacious, fascinating, compelling something one has. Or on the other hand, it may be a sour, sarcastic, f doleful, repelling something found in some people. Yet both may be called personality. However, we choo to write of the compelling personality, that which is the power to win liking and inspire personal devotion. S9 These high-born people with that certain something called personality have first an interest in everyone and everything. They have an excellent sense of humor, the ability to make witty repartee without malice.' This qual ity makes for good conversation abilities. But people show most particularly their personality by their deal- ings with others. They seem to make it their business to get along'with people, as though the success of their life depended upon making friends. They show individual appre- ciation in each person and to help the world go around. and take particular notice of individuals. They keep individual and speak their induce conversation of the make 'him feel that he is needed They always show respect for, of the habits of the group or in mind the interests of each language, as it were, and thus individuals own life experiences problems and affairs. To do this there is no way but for them to be a good listener. These super-beings induce the participation of everyone in every event. To su this up, we find that what these unusual people do is to meet other' wishes, for after all, isn't that why we like them? It seems that with personality one needs little else ...

Of course nothing'hwppened until we hit the strato- shpere. There things started to float around in space, until our gravity machine, starting to work, restored us to our normal state. There were three of us in the ship, Jack, I, and a dog. Nothing happened until we hit Mars. When I say hit, I mean it. Our ship buried itself fifty feet into the ground. We lifted it up by means of levers, pulleys, and incline planes. After we had set the ship on the angle for Earth Cin case of a hurried take-offl planet. We found the people of we went to explore the Mars a little bit more advanced than we are. They were tall, thin, well-built men with faces like Clark Gable. The women looked very much like Marlene Dietrich. Both the men and the women, wore polka dot pants and shirt. The cities on Mars are built like stools. There are long columns with flat areas on top where the houses are built. This is necessary for p otection from the Whom- gzelau, a very tall and ferocious beast, which looks like a cross between a giraffe and an elephant. The people greeted us kindly and gave us a pleasant time for several days. They showed us their farms, fac- tories, and airports. Their planes are veny peculiar. They are shaped like a bullet which has wings on either side. These ships can attain the speed of a thousand Wmetaphorses per kimon or, three hundred miles per hour.

Vadim Neklutin WHEN SHE WAS BAD SHE WAS HORHID A cold formal drawing room was decorated with straight backed chairs, where people would rather stand than sit. In one of these stately chairs, sat Mildred in disgrace. I wish you.could have seen her there. Even if she was naughty, she was delicious. Her long yellow curls had been brushed around a stick in the morning. They were like yellow corkscrews around her well formed baby head. Soft curls framed her pretty face with one little ringlet right between her eyesg for she was the little girl, who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead. ' The rain was beating relentlessly against the window pane. Mildred was thinking over her day's accomplishments. How gladly she would have taken her punishment for another taste of that jan: oh---o it was gg good. After sitting ever so long, three year old Mildred slipped quietly out of the nmean old chairn to see what she could do. In the middle of the room a board squeaked. Mildred gave a gasp, the kind of a gasp one gave when afraid of being discovered, then a sigh of relief as she heard Mhumxy in the beck of the house telling Susie, the new maid to be sure to clean in the corners. Mildred crept into Munny's room. There on the dress- ing table was a pink and blue box. She'd just peek into that. O-O--O, a box of cold cream, nice slippery cold cream so white, and so much of it. How nice and white it would look on Mu my's black velvet evening gown. Now just a dab on Mummy's fur, now to polish the rhinestones on the evening slippers. Thinking her work well done, she starts to leave the closet, her conscience pricking her just a tiny bit. She spies father's evening suit. It's so black.

Batchelder' NO JUSTICE AMONG TWINS Why should there be twins? Thi is the serious ques- tion the brother of such e. calamity asks. It is bad enough to be the brother of these iriniortal beings, but when one is e boy and the other a. girl: thet's worse! Whenever some fun or pleasure is to be had, who is there, but the "Twins". Whenever an extra. piece of cake is left in the cake-box, who gets it? 'The twins." But when mother says "Who is going to rake the yard of clean the basement", the twins are not to be found. Ever since I learned to drive the car, the twins think that they should always have this privilege. But one dey when mother said something about going to the store, I jumped in the car and almost stripped the gears ,getting away. When the twins tried to stop ue, I almost ran over o. couple of them. If I should have, old men Conscience would not have bothered. me so much. You boys who have twins older than you, have ell the sympathy I can offer. Never give in to them. If they try to emulate you in your struggle for earthly goods, don't let them. Fight for what is yours and never let am twin cross your path, for it is the worst luck with which you can come in contact. ' I believe I have wasted enough time writing about this duet, so to conclude my theme, I have dedicated this short verse to them and to all pf their kind. Most children are born to me-.ke the best of life, But some find it hard with work and strife, But the ones who won't, in my estimation, Are those get-ell twins of this generation. - 5 --John Crowe. N 've CHILDQCTD QEHILISCEHCES , When I was ebeut ten years old, I had the most fantastic tires I've ever hed. I could visualize, the most unreal things. I then thought to be a boy would V 1 be almost perfect. So when I moved from St. Louis to Ferguson, I decided to avoid acquaintances with birls. This was very easy to do since none lived very near me. 'If I wanted isolation from girls, I got isolation, hut not alone from girls--from every- one. I didn't plny with another child in Ferguson for many months after movingthere. My psrentsffelt so sorry for me that they often took me back to the city on visits so I might ploy with m old friends. Except for these visits during vacation, I played with no, one but a vmter sjlmniel dog. New houses 'being built around ny house, auch morning and evening when the WOF ESH were away, I'd climb in these vacant houses., A ' ' I were overalls and one qi my father's hats. I pretended that I was a cowboy, an Indian, explorer, airplane pilot, end many other persons. My mind would become so intent on the particular character I portray that I lost all sense of titre and place. I become an entirely different person. I lived, laughed, suffered, and often died in that character. 1 I knew what it wrs to he freezing on top of a mountain or to be dying from thirst on the Snhnrns. I explored the bottom cf the oceans: and in an airplane I soared above the clouds. I preached religion to the ed cannibrnls in Africa'-., and made visits to Churches in Rome. I climbed trees like "Tn.rze.n of the Apes", and met many aristocrats in society. I sang grand opera like Caruso, and became n Whnrkern at a circus. Although the ability to escape from reality is not now entirely lost, I regret very much that it has partially disappeared. Often it is very refreshing to forget for a while that we have a Chemistry test or a history outline due in the morning. Sorry, this page is unavailable.
