LOUIS, MISSOURI 0l elfU0l As the long path of the best years of our lives nears an end, we, the nb9'ersW, wish to present this Jen-Echo as a lasting memorial to a school at its best. While the 1-a9'ers of the pest sought wealth through gold, we, the present 'L9'ers, have sought wealth through knowledge, friendship, and har- mony with our fellow men. We hope, with this Jen-Echo, to provide e memory stepping-stone which, in years to come, will serve to bring back remembrancesfof friends and of scholastic, social, and athletic accomplishments. If we have done so, our desire is fulfilled. unior hgilzoof flecbca fion To the memory of Larry Guerra. an unforgotten friend. and classmate, the class of '49 dedicates this Jen-Echo. May it serve ad s. monument to his memory that he my linger in our hearts and. minds forever. 3 52, Mr. Otis A. See . Superintendent Mrs. Ruth Smith Secretary to Mr. See XZZLWKW Mr. C. B.

It seems that it all started like this: I awoke this morning and started out with the usual process of eating breakfast, and then bang , it took me by storm! his was J day. How could I have forgotten? It was exactly ten years to the day that our great png from Jennings had its farewell parting. How sad that was--the depar- ture of the ls9'ers . As I sat eating those delicious 'Hangs Corn Flakesu fmadeby the DONALD DINNER Corn Oompanyi. I just wondered what nost of the old buddies were do- ing. Gee. I thought. wouldn't it bs grand if we could all hold a class re- union? W. how I would like to see some of the old faces. While sitting there, toying with the idea, the telephone rang. Guess who it happened to be. Fate was really with us today. It was none other than the wealthy MEREDITH MAC GLURG calling from his penthouse apartment atop the Plaza. The whole thirty-first floorwas his, and today was our day of celebration. Mac was throwing a reunion party in the afternoon, and he demanded that I be there. Naturally. I was as excited as a small child and agreed. It had been years since I had seen times for quite a while. I found out quite pals, especially the ones who had moved out Robert Powers sold out to GENE BLANKENSHIP. business. and he is certainly making headway there have been a few additions to the Powers Mac, and we talked over old a bit as to some of the old of town. For instance. John Gene always had a head for with his models. By the way. or should I say Blankenship models. His latest sensations are none other than BETTY BUIBKS. DORIS ELLIOTT. ETHEL FLYNN. ABLYNE STERBA. and LOIS GOWLES. Boy! What a lineup. Incidentally. Dr. RAY HOWELL and Dr. WILLIAM ROBERTSON, famous New York surgeons. have their main offices in the Blankenship Building. Mac also informed me that they all were flying down from New York and would 'be here in time for the party. Speaking of flying. guess what two 49'ers are in charge of TVA and Western now. Believe it or not, they are DENNIS LANNIGAB and ALDON STEVENS. The trouble is that the two airlines are com- peting quite heavily, and their personal Business Warn doesn't make them the best of friends. Oh, well. at least they will be friends this after- noon. Well. I was getting about ready to give Mac a temporary good-bye when he mentioned the new spearhead in politics. It seems that there is a new third party out campaigning--it is called the Female Party. Their aim is to win the election in 1960. But that's not all. Look who the leaders are: LORETTA NAGEL, PEGGY MC GOURTY, and GERALDINE NIEL. Their candidate for president is none other than JOYCE MEYER. Incidentally. HORMA BLANKENSHIP is her campaign manager. That was about all Mac knew, so we bid each other farewell until later. My, what a group this Jennings class has turned out to be. I didn't have 24 much to do for the remainder of the morning, so I decided to take it easy and listen to the radio. Anyway, it was almost 10:00 a.m. when the 'Wheel Deal Variety Shown came on the air. I'm particularly interested in this program because mamr old Jennings graduates who have become stars are pres- ent. Yes, it's a musical variety show sponsored by Wunderle School Supplies Company. Who's the owner? Yes, that's right, MARY ELLEN WUNDERLE herself. As for the show, BOB GOUGH is Master of Ceremonies, with announcer BOB SIMMONS lmy, is he good on those singing commercialsl. The high-lights are the 'Rio Trio and BOB DILL, comedian. Besides the humorous Jokes of Bob, the trio is really good. well, why shouldn't it be? It is composed of MARGARET HAPPE. GINEVIEVE OSTEBHAGEN, and GILIJHIJA STOCKTON. Just about the time the show was really getting good, swak, wham bang, squeek?', the radio went on the blink. Immediately I rushed to the phone and called the radio repair man. Well, the repair man was pretty busy, but promised to be there as soon as possible. By this time, I really had the ole' Jennings spirit and decided to thumb through my old yearbooks. My, how odd we looked back then. Yes, I thought to myself, this is going to be a grand afternoon. Finally, after a long wait. the radio repairman arrived and commenced to pry into nw defective set. I really didn't take a good look at him 'til the radio was again playing properly. Was I surprised to find the vacuum tube genius to be 'none other than NORMAN ROSEKRANS. We talked a while and I found that he was going to the reunion also. Norman had to hustle on to another Job so that he would be able to get the afternoon off. It seemed that I had nothing to do 'til late afternoon, so I decided to eat dinner early and go to the ball park. It had been quite a while since I had seen a ball game. A little later, I found nwself driving along the avenue, when all of e. sudden a motorcycle policeman pulled me over to the curb. It seems that there was a drive on for drivers' licenses and I ,just happened to be one of those people who appear suspicious. At any rate, I did have nv driver's license. I was really surprised to find the cop to be none other than JIM JOHNSON, of all people. Yith a brief rag-chew. he scooted off, and I con- tinued my Journey. Everything went well until it came time to park. Wow! There were cars everywhere. Finally, I came upon a spacious parking lot, which ended my worries. Along with that, the lot belonged to GLEN SCANLOH and ANTHOIT SALAHONI, who were doing s. great business. Yell, with a little effort, I finally became seated in the park. Today the Cards were playing Chicago. Upon receiving a score card, I just about fell out of the grand- stand. Just look at the lineup: BARR! SGATIZZI. second base: RICHARD GOTSCH, left field: DON ELLEBBROCIC, first base: BOB VOSBHINK, 3rd base: BUD! HUELLER, short stop: DALE WARMAHN, right field: IRA MOSES, catcher. and last but not least. EDDIE GIIIEKH, pitching. The manager, by the way. is BOB BUIIK. AL WEHZHIYER and BOB WEBER are co-owners of the club at the present time. As usual, the 'Carden are in first place by about ten pmes, and also as usual. today's game was s. pushover. Following the game the fellows and I rode over to the Plaza together. You would think they would be discussing baseball. but instead. the prime point of conversation seemed to be GLEN KAMMERER. Glenn had been playing pro football for the Rams. What a year Glenn has had, a really enviable record. Well, about this time, we pulled up in front of the Plaza. 25 Hy, what a wonderful sigat was that 31st floor. Mac was really at his best when he decorated the place. He even hadanorchestra present. It was the current popular orchestra. too: DAN PORTER andhis Fireballs , No kid- ding, they are really good. After all though, look at the accompanying talent. There's PETE RUESSLE with the drums, LOUIS LAUNRARDT at the piano. and on the vocal we have JOAN SLADE, ZBENNITA J IMMERSON, ILAINE KASTEN. and TERRY KELLER. A feature attraction to the show is JIM G-ABRISON, star tap- dancer. Boy! can that fellow move. Yes, indeed, this certainly turned out to be a very enjoyable after- noon. My. how people can change. Anyway, they're all a very laugable bunch. I was sorry to hear that a few could not attend. VIINIFRED NOLEN and LORRAINE KERSTING are in Paris at the Art Show and could not possibly get there in time. At any rate they sent a cablegram saying hello and stating that they were sorry they could not attend. VIVIAN HUSEMADN and her husband are spending a week in Havana. DON CLINE, EDDIE BOWMAN, and FRED STEINMIMZ are at the auto-mechanics convention in Liverpool. These three fellows. as you know. are prominent dealers of racing cars here in the United States. DELORES TOM, JOY MOELLER. and CAROL CASE, famous home economists, are attending the food fair at Winnepeg. We were all sorry to hear that they could not be present, but we were glad to know that they were doing quite nicely. My, it takes forever and ever to get to see everyone. DEAN CIHAGLIA and his staff of EDDIE LAWRENCE. BOB CASEY. and DALE BURGSTEAD were on hand taking pictures of the exciting event. They work as photographic reporters for the Post-Dispatch. f A wonderful dinner was served after a little dancing and nmixing with friendsn. What delicious food! Well, why shouldn't it be? Chef LESTER SPAETE prepared the food. As you know. Les is known as the best cook in the Central United States. Well, of all the pleasant surprises: IONETTE GOEDECKE, JACKIE ROZBIBS, and DORIS BRUNS, so I found out, are top mnagers of the Famous Barr stores. MARGARET WUENSCHEL, EVELU POHLMAN. and PAULINE FARMER are private secretaries for Famous Barr. Wow! it looks as if Jennings has taken over. Speaking of taking over, I was surprised to find that ROSE MARIE DUSSOLD and DABLENE EDELEN now own the E-lite Beauty Shoppe . the most prominent in the St. Louis area. It seemed as if I had seenjust about everyone, when who walked up but MARILYN GILSTRAP, EVERETT IBOYER. JAMES KUNSTEL, RICHARD WILLIE. They had planned a hunting trip to South Africa and asked ii' I'd care to come along. GENE ROWTON, owner and chief tech- nician of XSD-TV, was going along with a portable transmitter to keep in contact with the United States. I did not particularly cherish the expedi- tion and politely said, no . ' I was sure that by this time I hadseen everyone there. It was getting late, and gradually the ole' school pals drifted back into the weary world to carry on their tasks as usual. On my trip back home, I sat and thought how wonderful an experience this had been. IU!

A balanced instrumentation was effected by changes and additions to the band personnel. This more desirable balance served as a motivating influence among the bandsmen who now comprise an organization of thirty-six members. During the school year, the band made numerous appearances. The first was at the Jennings-sponsored Basketbowl : it was then that the student body began to realize that good things were to come from the bend. Climaxing the fall semester were two concerts-one for students and the other for the general public. An audience of over 250 gave the band a tremendous ovation the evening of January 13. 'The best ever .. ... Remark- able improvementn..... Definite1y a different organizationn ..... These were comments heard after the concert. Appearing before the P.T.A. and the American Legion Oratorical Contest preceded the spring concert. , An organization comprised of parents of students taking instrumental music was formed during the late winter. The very active Band Boosters sponsored a Tag Dey' for the band with the proceeds going into e. fund for bend uniforms. ' 50 iaanidh S e A11 T537 fi' FIRST ROW: Lois Cowles, Shirley Reinkensmeyer.

Rewerts THIRD ROW: Bob Gouga, B111 Robertson, Ray Howell f In 1936 a small group of students interested in speaking organized a chapter of the National Forensic League in Jennings High School. This they did with the guidance and assistance of Mr. M. A. Markert, their sponsor. From that time the organization has continued with the same enthusiasm those first students 13 years agp luudwhen the chapter received its charter. The N. F. L. was founded by a professor of English at Ripon College. Ripon, Wisconsin. who thought it would be an advantage to high school stu- dents if some kind of organization was formed for those participating in speech activities. With the help of teachers and other outstanding people from all over the country, our present N. F. L. was formed. Through this organization, high schools all over the United States are banned together for one common purpose. This purpose is to encourage interest in public speaking, oratory, and debate and to create a spirit of fellowship among those taking part in such activities. The N. F. L. provides good experience for those who wish to enter. after they graduate from high school. some field where speech is needed. By participating in activities such as offered by the N. F. L.. they not only develop the ability to speak well, but also they gainfurtherknowledge through research and develop all the qualities of good sportsmanship. The varities of speaking offered by the N. F. L. are many. There are three kinds of declamation. oratorical. dramatic, and humorous. These are speeches taken from plays. and books or other literature. There is also original oratory for those who wish to write their own speeches about defi- nite problems. Also in the original category is extemporaneous speaking. In this type, students draw an alloted time to prepare where students may have the In the past. Jennings proud.

The topic was Should Dewey or Truman be Elected? Bay Howell and Eddie Lawrence represented the Truman side, and Bob Gougx and Bill Robertson supported Dewey. After the speeches, questions were asked-by the student body. A vote was taken and the house was ebout evenly divided. as to the outcome of the election. 56 .SEQQQCA Through the school year. many of the N. F. L. chapters spon- sor tournaments. Most of these are practice tournaments and no awards are given to the individual or their school. but these tournaments provide good experience for those who participate. The first such practice tournament was an extempore tourna- ment held at Jennings and Bill Robertson placed first in the class A finals. Clayton sponsored a tournament for freshmen and sophomores only. One school usually gives a tournament of this type for freshmen and sophomores to create interest in speech and find out if the contestants are suited for further work in forensics. St. Louis University High School experimented in a new type of tournament. It was a radio manuscript reading contest where each contestant wrote his own manuscript and read it under the same conditions as he would if he were speaking over a broadcast- ing system. The tournament was divided into three divisions with two Jennings students, Eddie lawrence and Lois Cowles. placing first. At an extenpore contest held at the same school. Bill Robertson placed second in the class A finals. heh year the American Legion sponsors oratory contests for all high school students. The speech mst be on some phase of the constitution as it is the goal of the American Legion to cre- ate interest and help spread a better knowledge of our government. Every school is allowed one representative. Bay Howell won the lorth County finals, defeating Ferguson. Fairview. and Hormndy. Ray Howell carried on his commendable work at Webster Groves by winning first place in original oratory. In humorous decla- mation. Bennita Jimerson placed fourth and Lois Cowles placed fourth in the class A finals in dramatic declamation. The last tournament before the state contest took place at Jennings. George Alter won in sxtempore: Bennita Jimerson placed second in humorous declalation. he state H. T. L. tournament was held at Normandy Eiga School. We had nine Jennings students participating. Ray Howell placed third in original oratory and Carol Case placed sixth. In oraterical declaration, Yerle Cromer placed fourth and James Mullen was eliminated in the preliminary rounds. In extempore, Bill Robertson placed fourth and George Alter was eliminated in the semi-finals. In humorous declamtion. Bennita Jimerson and Barbara Lou Shuttleworth went out in the semi-finals. In dramtic declara- tion. Indie Lawrence wss eliminated in the preliminary rounds and Lois Cowles was eliminated in the semi-finals. 57 CC yy jre5A ,xgir It looked like the beginning of an ordinary sunny day--the kind of day one likes to be in the park enjoying the fresh air. Everyone was there: Ralph with his headache, Mrs. Slater with her badges, Valerie with her bodyguard, and the grdener with more work than you could shake a stick at. Governor Green arrived to make a political address and immediately became involved in an awkward situation, A wise-cracking little pest, Elsie, with Bruce trotting around as her stooge, became a hard-headed little opportunist and took over when an unscrupulous politician appeared on the scene. An ambitious movie-struck girl, trying to fool a wise talent scout, was caught in her own trap. - Finally everything was straightened outg that is, almost every- thing. Elsie, bitter after her venture in politics, was chasing the rival politician with a coke bottle as the curtains closed.

The season begn with the loss of the first two games to Western Military and Ferguson: and strangely enough. it ended with the loss of the Last two games in the Sub- regional Tournament. The only other lose of the season was handed to the Bulldogs by Southwest of the Public High School League in the Normandy Christmas Tournament. Beginning on the evening of January 14, Jennings was undefeated until February 214, when they were defeated by the Subregional Tournament champs, Kirkwood. This string of victories lasted to the unlucky number l3 before the team went down to defeat. Another highlight of the season was the winning of the Ferguson Tournament. Jennings was ceded fourth in the tournament and drew a bye ln the first round. In the quarter- final round, the Bulldogs defeated Berkeley. In the semi-final round. the Bulldogs defeated the favorite, Hancock, by a score of 52 to Lvl. Then in the finals. it was Jennings against the old traditional rivals. Fairview: and the Bulldogs won out 38-36 to win the Ferguson Tournament. This year four seniors wore the Jennings red and white uniforms for the last time. They were Ed Gerken. who was selected Prep Player of the Week . Jim Johnson. A1 Wehmeyer and Everett Boyer. Next year's prospects for the A team. Joe Kersting, Mel Wolf. Warren Rieman. Bill Henson, and IB team members, look very promising. The Jennings baseball team, under the direction of Coach Paul Ward and with Ed Gerken and Ira Moses as co-captains. had a very successful season. It so happened that the most important game of the baseball season was the one lost to Fairview, which meant the loss of the North County League Championship. This game was the only loss for the -season, and the team had a very outstanding record of nine victories and one defeat. The team, being well balanced in every department and having a fine running and fielding attack. scored 21 runs in one game. The pitching staff was one of the main assets to the team. as the records indicate. Ten seniors wore Bulldog baseball uniforms for the last time. They were Ira Moses Ed Gerken, Don Ellerbrock, Jim Johnson, M Boyer, Bob Weber, Harry Scatizzi. Rich Gotsch. Louis Launhardt. and Al Wehmeyer.
