The finest men in the community sit on the Board and decide the destiny and policies of the entire system. A great responsibility rests upon the shoulders of this select group, but all business that comes before them is very capably handled with the utmost pre- cision. There's never a question of cur- tailment of any school activity, but always, the problems are concerned with how the range of the school can be increased. That Normandy is recognized as one of the most progressive schools in Missouri speaks for the skill and ability with which the affairs of the school are directed. The finest teachers, the best in equipment, the most varied curricular and extra-curricular program - that's what Normandy's Board of Education offers the boys and girls of Normandy District.

Smith Q eniors Held Woods WG OU KNOVV, Edith Coqgins came to Nor, mandy in her junior year, and in less than a year she made herself important to school life. She immediately became active in sports and this year has been an associate editor of the 'Saga.' Her literary work qualified her for Quill and Scroll. Remember the Christmas Dance? lean Maste- brook was one of the swing dolls in the Orchesis floor show. She was also prominent in other Orchesis presentations, and outstanding in all of her class work. The interests of Eugene Smith are varied, too. They are wrestling, basketball, track, and girls. The first three are seasonaly the last is perpetual. All kidding aside, Eugene is one of the best-liked fellows here. Dorothy Held has certainly lived up to her name, hasn't she? She has held the position of distribution manager and picture editor of the 'Courierf She belongs to the Girls' Bowling Club, too. You know Tom Woods, don't you? He was the sheriff in the Senior Play. Tom didn't confine his talents to acting alone, for he was a member of the Hi-Y, Glee Club, Student Council, and the 'Saga's' circulation manager. Woepke See that girl over by that tree? That's Dorothy Woepke. You can recognize her shiny, blond hair anywhere. No matter where you are in school, you'll notice her if she's there. Mildred Randall has gone through the door leading to the Glee Club room more than any one in school. She spent most of her time either singing with the girls or joining with the boys in the Mixed Chorus. 'To be or not to be an accountantf is William Hahn's motto. Majoring in a commercial course, he is preparing himself for a business career. His efficiency will prove a valuable asset what- ever his decision. Ai-line Brunken is the quiet girl in your class who always gets things done. Her steadiness is utilized in her chief occupation, knitting. She has been a faithful member of the Bible Club. All through her years at Normandy, Audrey Gruenewald has prepared for one profession, that of nursing. A burning ambition of hers has been to heal the sick and protect the well. A finer purpose can't be found. 'He's a swell fella.' That fits Iames Hertich better than anything that can be said. With his fine sense of humor, lim furnishes his fellow Page Twenty-Four f. llllC?f86l1 'jfllllfilffj ?cf1'ft-ljlro members of the Hi-Y with laughs.

His position as l end in varsity football, his shot-putting and discus-throwing, along with his friendly ways, W made him one of our live most popular boys. Did you know that Virginia Granberq can do ' 120 words a minute in shorthand? Yep, it's a fact! She wouldn't tell you that, though, because t of her modesty. I guess that and her typing ' ability will push her on the road to success. Defense work will get a swell mechanic in Iames Doyle. Ever since Jimmy started here, he has majored in shop work.

Boy, but l know the fellow who really gets good grades! Iames Kel1er's swell scholastic record and two-year membership in the Chemistry Club will probably give him a good start in that engineering course he wants to follow.

Page Twenty-Six gum! ffl' ,emories 0 J 'zirntmz finger lf orever Yeah, another senior girl to add to the list of sports enthusiasts is Edith Glaenzer. She kept up a good scholastic average, too, besides being well liked by most ot her classmates. Uh-huh, Paul Martin is another well-liked fellow. Boy, he sure went all-out for sports. I-le participated in varsity football as well as all intramural sports. He didn't neglect those texte books either. Gee, remember that night we went to the 1940 Football Dance? And the queen? Boy, she was really neat! She was Doris Mae Hirst. wasn't she? Yes, you know, she really deserved that honor, cause she's one ot the most popular senior girls. Who could wonder with her sweet personality? Oh! Here's the boy all the songs are written about-the captain of the football team. Eugene Benoist certainly filled that ticklish position well this year. I-le not only led the Vikings through one ot its best seasons but made all-district in the bargain! Yep, and don't forget he also participated in baseball, basketball, and wrestling. , 1 Emma Maynard's another ardent singer who supported the Girls' Cflee Club and Mixed Chorus for three years. Her well-known voice will be missed by both next year. Mariorie Rubens is a girl who will be missed by those who knew her. Even if outside interests claimed most of her attention, she still made many friends among her classmates. A fellow who entered in class activities was Richard Vogt. He worked hard on the 'Courier' as one ot the reporters and also participated in intramural athletics. Say, remember that competitive theme, 'What Americanism Means to Me'? I-lere's Curtis Gotsch. who displayed his literary ability by having his theme selected by Mr. Hixson as one oi the best written in the senior class. Curt's a l-li-Y enthusiast, too. Boy, that red hair surely identities Doyne Lammert easily enough. She's a diligent student and a co-operative worker in all her classes. l-lere's a fellow who really was wrapped up in the school this year. He was in the Boys' Glee Club, Mixed Chorus, and was out for wrestling and football. Yeah, I. C. Larkin really is a worker. Glaenzer P, Martin Hirst Benoist Maynar Rubens R.

You know who she is. She came to Normandy from the South this year, and her cheerful, friendly manner has won her many friends. Betty was called on many times when dramatic and speech ability was needed. The ability to make speeches and to act are wonderful attributes, but Georgia Williams goes in for music. She's a member of the Girls' Glee Club, and her curly, red-head occupies a promi- nent spot in the Band and Orchestra. Norma Bradshaw is another one who must have music. Not satisfied with vocalizing in the Girls' Glee Club, she does a splendid job of dancing with other members of the Orchesis. incidentally, we girl athletes in this senior class of ours. Rose have some very excellent DeLurgio has won a berth on the varsity baseball'-X team for two years. You girls are in a rut. Can't you talk about anything but the females in this class? Let's get around to the male species. For instance, there's curly-haired, happy-go-lucky Bill Musick. He has smiled his way through, with a merry 'Hil' to all who know him. Singing in the Boys' Glee Club is his main outside activity. Mardell Williams' skill at sports has made her an invaluable member of all the varsity .,--L ,L , v. ' A ,, l'.r M. Williams teams: hockey, basketball, volleyball, and base- ball. Her quietness is only a 'front' to the very much alive girl underneath. Yes, and lack Iones is another product of the Boys' Glee Club. His varied interests and ability to adapt himself to the diversified occupation pro- grom set him off as an all-around fellow. Well, if you want a good example of an all- around, active person, take a look at I.aVerne Bauer. Working faithfully on the Student Council and as a typist on the 'Saga,' LaVerne did her part for the school. She was in the dancing group, too. The seniors honored her by electing her vice-president and choosing her one of the class' five most popular girls. Whenever you hear a moan, you can guess it's Audrey Schindler. That girl continually and needlessly worries about unexpected tests. She showed her true efficiency in her splendid library and 'Courier' work. The 'Courier' requires plenty of work, but being a page editor requires unusual talent, and Lolita Stuteville is well able to fill this important position. She sang in the Girls' Glee Club and Mixed Chorus, too. Well, f'm back again to uphold the boys of this class. l'm plugging for Orbe Iolly. who takes advantage of the diversified occupation course Page Twenty-Eight fgraffuat J f t f eave 'llllfCl6KG Record to further his vocational training. Sometimes serious, sometimes joking, Orbe attracts many friends, Virginia Murphy's nimble fingers earned her a prominent position in the knitting and typing clubs. Her cheerful manner makes friends quite readily. Well, don't forget Fred Schreiber. who, al- though small in stature, is mighty in abilities. Fred's merry disposition makes him a favorite in the halls, and his accomplishments as a dancer make him a success at the parties. Dorothy Clcxrk's smile will perpetuate her in the memories of her fellow classmates as a cheer- ful friend. Chemistry is her first love, but she's a fine student in all of her classes. George Congdon likes to talk of his scientific experiments with any audience, but only those learned in science can understand his technical chatter. 'Petit but sweet' fits Mary Berm I erfectly.

Everybody admired his sportsmanship and courage. l Betty Ccrssens! Now there's a girl! She's one of the rnost popular girls in the class. And well deserves that popularity, for she takes an interest in everything. She's president of the Orchesis and spends plenty of time prac- ticing with the dance group besides going out for other sports. The 'Saga' really picked the right one when they chose her to head Girls' Sports. Marian Kottemann didn't do bad, either. She's one ot the ten ranking students and made the Honor Society in the eleventh grade. She was always a leader in the G.A.l-X. and all girls' sports. This year she did a lot ot typing ior the 'Saga,' too. Yeah, l think she deserved to be one of the tive most popular girls. Another participant in girls' sports is Marjorie Laramie. Last year the faculty picked her for the 'Courier's' award to the best girl athlete in school. She always rnade good grades, too. l-lere's a winner! lt's Warren Voqler. an all- round athlete, and one of our best wrestlers. l-le even won a state championship. Page Thirty Une resident Cfaffs fbi' jhorou The 'Courier' owes a lot to hard-working Iucmita Rudy, and she's also the girl the feminine athletes depend upon. Everyone knows when she goes out for a sport that she'1l be varsity. And another attractive girl with lots to offer is Marie Noonan. If she keeps toeing the mark and delivering the work like she has in the office, I'm sure she'll be outstanding. In the two years that Billee Bryson has been at Normandy, she has become well known for her dancing ability. She was selected to dance the juggler for the Christmas assembly and played a part in the senior play. C-folly, Tom Everson works hard! Yep! he certainly does. Being president of the class was no lazy job, and then he was editor of the 'Saga.' That's a terrific job. I-le was voted the most popular boy in the class, and justly so, I think. Torn also made Quill and Scroll and was vice-president of the Hi-Y. Don't you envy Ieanne Duree's long dark hair? You know she's interested in art and really has talent, too, because she was in the Art Society for three years. Every time I think of Stun Hater, I always have to laugh. I-Ie always had a good joke to A gpairzim in Qgurzrfanzezztafs crack. Don't you think the Sports page of the 'Courier' has been really interesting this year? Stan was assistant editor. I-le was an active member of Student Council, too, and on the Judicial Court. You know somebody that's always playful and noisy? Sure! Berkeley Buell! Berk's a top-flight ath- lete, too, for in his junior year he won the 'Courier' Cup for the all-around boy athlete of l94l. Sure, I know June Miller. For three years she sang in the Girls' Glee Club, and besides she's a neat hockey player. I know somebody that I won't forget, and that's Lou Saffa. Gosh, he's dynamite on that football field and basketball court, and when it comes to golf, he's super, too. Lou's not only an athlete, but he's a swell guy in his own right. Gee whiz, don't you think Dorothy Eason is swell? She's tall and attractive, sincere and reliable, and a member of the Art Society. Another girl that's carefree and happy is Doris Hudspeth. Wonder what she'll do after graduation? Oh, whatever she chooses I imagine she-'ll do all right. Noonan Bryson Ev n Duree Hafer x X Miner Saffa Eason X Hudspeth N' 'eh Q ks, Q -. 41.

She certainly does get the A's. Wish I had a scholastic record like hers. Yeah, she makes good grades, and besides, she's a super artist. She's contributed a lot to the decorations for dances and things. Gilbert Trauterman works a lot of extra hours for no extra credit. I-Ie's chief stage technician Ior the dramatic department and runs the lights for all special performances. Gil will be missed when special lighting is needed next year. Well, now, Venida Lanqenwalter wasn't lazy either in her outside Work. Working in the Art Society and singing in the Glee Club, she has accomplished a lot for such a little girl. Chl but that Dorothy Goodman. There's one person with extra time and energy for any task. Look what she did as third-page editor for the 'Courier,' besides handling all the faculty pictures and writefups for the 'Sagaf I know that, and I think she really deserves to be a member of the Quill and Scroll. 'I'hat's not all! She has plenty of time for fun, and she's well-liked, too-elected one of the five most popular girls in the class. Were you at the last track meet? Did you see Otto Thuerkoif run the hurdles? He's one of Hunter our leading cinderman. I like to watch him leap over those hurdles. It seems to me I've seen him in some other organization, too. I'll say you have. Otto's a first-rate drummer for the Band. If you want anything done, give it to Mildred Hunter. She's one ot the most dependable girls I know. And have you ever seen her play ping pong? She's really a whizz. Remember Doris Werntz? She leit school at the end of the first semester, but I still think of her as a member of our class. She wore a big smile and was cordial to everyone. Another friendly girl is Marion Metzger. Along with her pleasantness, she is an industrious worker, active in the Art Club and Orchesis, and a iirst-rate commercial student. Miss Beck and Miss Ferguson call on her any time they want expert assistance. Dependability is lack Toal's middle name, too. He spent much time aiding national defense by building model airplanes. The precision with which he works is remarkable. You know, graduation cost the 'Courier' some good material. Betty Poster was one oi the swell writers it lost. A gay and vibrant girl, she gave much toward our school lite. Page Thirty-Two Lgfize mul QU i f , ,QGHIC Ill Cf!!

Wish more people had her pleasant disposition as well as her brains. How George Cook ever finds time for athletics is a wonder to me. George attends school only in the aiternoonsg yet he's active in soccer, wrestling, and intramural sports. Oh! Here's Pot Dunne. That keen lrish wit ot hers is refreshing between classes.

Weren't you in her typing class? I heard she ripped off those periects every day with the greatest of ease-the same way she does everything else. Remember when Miss Pitney's homeroom won the intramural football contest? Well, that boy walking towards us is Ed Koeneman. one of the star players in her homeroom. Besides that, Ed has distinguished himself as an outstanding var- sity baseball player. Any time you ask Lorraine Obermeyer to do anything for you, you can be sure she will. Her dependability and aptitude make her a favorite of teachers and students, alike. Ieepers! That Ralph Williamson has certainly been a busy-body this year, carrying out his duties as president of the Student Council and president of the Hi-Y. I-Ie was a corridor officer, too, and a star trackman. Oh, well, a boy of his ability shouldn't find the tasks too-ldifiicultf' . ff' .. . WSW .Mt l-li there, Ianetf' Do you know Ianet Brandenberg? Shes all right. The Girls' Glee Club and Mixed Chorus will have a tough time replacing her alto voice, chirning out as clear as bells. Iane Bardol is another of those capable girls. Her business-like manner and pleasant disposi- tion in the classroom make her a splendid stu- dent. The way she carries out instructions without a single mistake is really something. Knit one, Purl two. Norma Beardslee must be knitting another sweater. Her collection by now should flood her wardrobe. 'Beautiiu1 but dumb' doesn't fit that girl, cause she's really good-looking and smart. Heres another boy with ambition, Harold Iames. l played Harold a game of ping p g once, and was my face red!

The students and teachers voted him the outstanding student in the music department. Besides all this he's on the Wrestling Squad. You know somebody that really works hard? Ima lean Stuart. Gosh, she always makes good grades and gets compliments from teachers on her very neat papers. lt must be fun to learn when it's so easy. Speaking about working hard, lack Martin really does his share as co-editor of the sports page on the 'Courierf Remember him in the all- school play? Wasn't he good? Wonder whether he'll become an actor or a journalist? Who comes to your mind when you think of charm and personality? Of course, Mary Koenig. She came here in her senior year, and she cer- tainly won loads of friends. Don't misunderstand, however, she has brains back of her personality. She ranked seventh in the class. Don't you think Richard Alsop is a swell fellow? l-le's a good worker, and he's always willing to co-operate. We need more people like Richard. Can anyone make knitting needles fly as smoothly as Martina Lorenz? She knits a sweater r t Lorenz a week. Martina has a pleasing smile and a cheerful personality, too. lt's a marvel she has the patience to knit so much. 'Vic,' l mean Victor Wittler. is really a wizard in his math classes and I hear that he's a good typist, too. Besides all this studious Work, he was an active member of the Ballroom Dancing Club when he was in the tenth grade. My, isn't Delphine Kansteiner smart? She's efficient and industrious. I guess she'd have to be to rank fourth in a class as big as this one. Her favorite subject is math, and l understand that she's going to major in it next year at col- lege in preparation for teaching. You know Edward Rickelmann. l-le is an exceptionally able football and basketball man. I-le is a bit of all right with his friendly and agreeable manner. Corrine Petersen is anything but lazy. She is always working hard for the art department and in her classes, too. She was president of the Art Society. Don't you wish you had her ambition? Don't you envy lane Castle's pretty eyes? She participates in intramural basketball, hockey, and last year for a club she chose bowling. She really likes the more strenuous activities. l don't see how she keeps them all going. Plenty of pep, I say. Page Thirty-Six 7'0llItS6S fl gllflllf' I-Iaven't I seen her before? Sure, that's Dorothy Cella. You know she's the girl on the varsity baseball and reserve basketball squads. Besides excelling in sports, Dorothy was a mighty tine student. She was especially good in typing. Will you ever forget tall, qoodflooking Leslie Bradshaw? No, I won't, and the athletic department will have a hard time forgetting him, too. He's a good iootball, basketball, and track rnan. His height and huskiness made him an A-l athlete. lsn't Natalie Wilmas a peppy little gal? Always bubbling over with energy and good spirits, she has innumerable friends. She always has a smile for everyone. And then Annetta Wagner is no quiet belle. She has so much pep and vitality for such a small girl. Yes, Annetta is an allsaround capable girl. She has the best looking black, curly hair. There goes Earl Biggs in his band uniform. He's in the orchestra, too, isn't he? I think he plays the trombone. You're right about that.

You're right. l've seen him in intramural competition, and he puts up a stiff tight, Whenever my eye greets a pair of cowboy boots, l know the lee-t must belong to Evelyn McHale, who was one ot the originators of this style. Evelyn is certainly quiet at times, but she can hold an intelligent conversation about prac- tically any subject. Page Thirty-Eight Everyone in the Art Society thinks highly oi Annu Malmquist. not only because of her artistic ability but also because of her sweet disposition. You know she was their candidate for St. Pat's Queen. Who is that tall, dark-complexioned boy? Thats Oliver Dorlcque. l-le made a name for himself as high jumper on the Track Team. A good-natured girl is Betty Jean Fritz. That's right. For her co-operation, courtesy, and industry at all times Betty was awarded 'Best Citizen' by lvlr. Skelly, the president oi the Board of Education. The tall, blonde, good-looking forward on the varsity basketball team is Bob Toul. By the way, wasn't he the high-point man this year? I-le certainly was, and besides that he played on the football team and was treasurer of the Senior Class. Whew! I sure wish l had as 'much ambition as Dorothy Kersting has.

Dorothy Moore, one of the mainstays of the Orchesis, was in the front row of every per- formance. Her personality fits her looks-both good. You could always count on Dot's sunny dis- position to enliven the Student Council meetings. See that hall guard doing her duty? Well, it's Marilyn Grotpeter. She can carry out orders specifically and is capable of almost any job. There goes a girl that will have no trouble in the iuture if she keeps up as she has at Nor- mandy. Betty Iewell Iohnson has ability as well as aptitude. She's really cr good, steady worker on anything she attempts. A wizard that made the Honor Society in eleventh grade is Nelson Cornelius. Nelson has entertained many audiences with his good acts ing in several of the school plays. He makes swell grades, too. That's not all!

Nancy can be identified anywhere by her long, blonde hair and satirical Wit. She dashes from the 'Courier' office to the 'Saga' office to play practice. Nancy works hard all right, but Mary's no lazy bcnes either. She had charge of the senior Section of the 'Saga' and worked on the 'Courier' and Student Council. Her many friends honored her by crowning her as St, Pat's Queen at the St. Pat's Dance. There goes a fellow with a lot of spirit. Harrison Raley always has a smile for every one. He's well liked by both teachers and students. Oh, look! There Iacklyn Cordes knitting again! Even though lackie's been working on those argyle socks for months, they're still not finished. She hasn't neglected her scholastic average though, for she ranks sixth in the whole class. Yeah! and another good student is lack Parker.

Although she has been here but two years, she has won many friends by her pleasant Way and intelligent sense of humor. Say, wasn't it too bad Iim Willils had to leave at the end of the first semester? He was one of the most promising students in the class and was very interested in Normandy's activities. Gosh, here comes Lois Metz. She's probably worrying about her glee club dress again. Lois definitely has a leaning toward music, for she has been in the Swingsters, Mixed Chorus, Glee Club, and has also been in the Typing Club. Yeah, l know, and there's another active girl, Ruth Ramspoit. Ruth has been advertising man- ager of the 'Courierf besides going out for G.A.A. and being on the Girls' Varsity Hockey Team. Man! Who's that fellow running the track? He's really fast! Why, that's Clyde Dunford. You know, he's co-captain of the Track Team. Oh, yes, he's secretary of the Hi-Y, too. Do1ores Schirr's interest lies in the office, where she works diligently. Of course, you know she goes out for all sorts of sports.

She seerns like the type of girl who can listen and give good advice. The teachers as well as her friends speak highly of her. That Irvin Mertz is certainly some bowler! Although he's rather quiet and unassuming in the classroom, he certainly stands out as a star of the Bowling Club. Peggy McDonald has been one busy girl this year. Working on the 'Courierf dashing about getting stories, and dancing in the Orchesis is quite enough for anyone. She did some good work in designing, too, l understand. lt you haven't seen Bill Mcrlatt play ping pong, you've missed a treat. The way he serves would knock your eyes out.

Oh, that's Claude. He's only here half the day be- cause he works on the diversified occupation, but when he is at school he certainly gets something done, especially in Auto Mechanics. Betty Ross Schneider seems reserv d t f' e a irst, but her dry humor will pop out at the most un- expected moments. Though guiet in class, she doesn't follow this practice at soc ial activities.

Ianet Ichtertz is one girl who can be intelligent one minute and lots of fun the next. just ask anyone on the girls' hockey or basketball teams, of which she is a member. She's livened many a dull moment. There's so much to say about Betty Bushman l don't know just where to start. She's vice- president of the Student Council, secretary of the Senior Class, an assistant editor of the 'Saga' B. Schneider R. Heinsohn B V..

Betty's personality and ability justifies her popularity with both boys and girls The highest tribute that a girl of Normandy can receive is to be voted by her classmates the Saga Queen. Betty rightfully received that honor and was crowned Saga Queen of l942. Being an efficient typist, Mary Milward can dash off copy like nobody's business. ln her junior year she was a member of the Personality Club. This has been reflected in all her activities since. Humorous Donovan Schultz! l'll never forget his witty jokes that have cheered many a dreary day. You can always count on seeing Don at all social activities. He has more fun than any body in school. A regular stand-by in the music department Clemeta Hentze certainly is going to be missed She plays the cello in the Senior Orchestra and if flute in both Marching and Concert Bands.

Iohnston Cassin ff -' , HE GIRL in the plaids,' that's Iune Gathe- fl man. Iune's array of plaid skirts and dresses is well known, but her playing in the Orchestra and singing in the Girls' Glee Club stand out just as much as her clothes. See Ed Cloonan dashing about? Well, he's probably on his way to take a picture for the 'Courier' or the 'Saga.' You know he's a staff photographer. And isn't he the boy who started the 'campus improvement' campaign? That was a big help to the entire school. I think Dolores Eise has been a valuable asset to the Mixed Chorus and Girls' Glee Club. Gee, she can certainly sing, and I bet she'll leave a gap that won't be easy to fill. Don't you think Stanley Iohnston is one of the happiest persons you ever saw. Every time I see him he's giggling or laughing about some joke. About the only time he's serious is in study periods or in sessions of the Boys' Glee Club or the Mixed Chorus. There goes blonde, vivacious Winifred Cassins. She always has a pleasant word for everyone., By the way, did you see the picture of her in one of the St. Louis newspapers when she Was crowned Queen of the Charity Ball? Anytime you have a math problem to solve, take it to Melvin Koetter. He really shines in that field, He's interested in science, too, and Koetter should be a successful engineer some day. Melvin doesn't say much, and you'd never know he has so much on his mind, but he always delivers the goods when the time comes. Kenny Schneider has one of the liveliest minds in the class, although he covers it up with his quiet air. Kenny's always in the stands rooting at all the athletic affairs. 'Always in there pitching' best describes Margaret Reiners, whether she's in the office, in classroom, or on the athletic field. I remember seeing her play hockey, basketball, and volley- ball. Whereas her red hair is merely decorative, her skill in athletics is really outstanding. Me1 Sheehan's love of hilarious fun comes second only to his love of sports. Mel's size and his ability to play the game made him a real addition to the varsity football and basketball squads and the track team. I-le's the fellow who broke the record on the discus toss at the Univer- sity City Invitational Track Meet. You know Nor- mandy Won the visiting team cup at that meet. Here comes efficient Ianet Curtis. I don't mean efficient only in classes but in outside activities, too. Punctual at all gatherings, Ianet will be on hand when the good jobs are handed out. Zoe Zohner has certainly hosts of friends, probably because of her sweet consideration of Page Forty-Four 166 CF27'0SSl'0Cl .S of fife others. Girls are always consulting her about materials and styles. Her ilair for designing iound expression in the Art Society. Now there's an all-around girl. Mary lane Hogun's personality is versatile enough to ware rant interest in everyone and everything. Al- though she is a quiet spoken girl, you can count on her anytime. That Gregory Stagemcm is the lite ot the class. His light-hearted wit brings forth many a laugh. He enjoys the diversiiied occupation course, but of course Greg enjoys everything he does. 'Short, jolly Suzanne Luem portrays genuine friendliness, You can always depend on her good nature to pep you up. My vote is for more classmates like her. Here comes Richard Schneider. I-le's the boy who combines sports with music. He plays soccer and softball and sings in the Boys' Glee Club. That's really a combination. Yeah, and clon't forget he's a track star as well.

Even if she doesn't make herself noticed by talking a lot, her work on the 'Courier' is quite conspicuous. She served as a hall guard, too, during one period each day. You know, l had physics with Harry Smith this year, and that fellow really gets things done. I don't know what profession he intends to follow, but my bet is that he'll be a man with a lot Ot. promotions ahead of him. Have ma e you like her the first moment that you met her? That's just the way Shirley McConnell is. Every time that l'm around Shirley, her bubbling personality makes me feel swell. you ever known a girl that d Don't you think Harold Bush's co-operative spirit and willing ways typify the Normandy boy? His occupations were varied, too. Along withlhis industrial arts, he took 'book-learning' s jects. 'Ib f'Talk about a worker! Grace MacDonald has divided her attention between the 'Courier,' hockey, basketball, and, oh yes, knitting. lt takes a lot of 'get-up-and-go' to keep up with all that. One fellow l've never seen with a long face is Kenny Schuler. When he's not attending a Hi-Y meeting, working on the 'Courier,' wrestling, or helping in the student council, he's entertain- , ing his friends with his splendid sense of humor. Don Frankenberqer has the shortest, wiriest hair that l've ever seen. lt sort of typifies Don's t l Page Forty-Six W CYHSS 6 Cl!--6ZVAfllf cv4Hfl6TiCflllfSlll 061715 110 personality. He must be wiry and clever because he won a state championship in wrestling. Some muscles! I-le has brain as well as brawn, too. He was editor of the athletic division of the 'Saga' and president of the Quill and Scroll. His witty cracks kept everyone in the 'Saga' office in 'stitchesf Who is that tall, dark girl over there? That's lean Cole. If you had been on the bowling team, you would have known her, for she was a member and really could bowl, too. lt takes a lot of stuii to be the second ranking student, but Bob Lovell had it. His work in the Chemistry Club, as associate editor of the 'Saga,' and his position as vice-president ot the Quill and Scroll plainly point out his capabilities. Have you ever noticed how you can't tell when anything is bothering Ruby Snyder? No matter what is on her mind, she is always cheer- lul and friendly. It's this type of character that will aid Ruby in anything that she might attempt. l guess some d Bernice Metzner will be a secretary to some g business man. Her busi- ness training and typing are sure to put her tor- Ward in the business world. lsn't it odd how quiet people are always known? Even though Helen Bolling dcesn't say much, she's well known. l guess her activities have helped her popularity. See that fellow? That's Hartland Helmich. You remember seeing him in the plays. Oh, yeah! He was in the Marching Band, too, wasn't he? One all-round athlete was Dorothy Wicks. She went out for basketball, baseball, and volley- ball. She was quite prominent at any girls' athletic events. You know Christ Alt. don't you? Who doesn't? l've seen him at all ot the intramural clashes. But he's best known for his classroom wit.

Sheehan , -,I Audrain Eostic fffj ETTY LOUlSE IOHNSON is the Betty john- son that's the athlete, isn't she? You wouldnt think it to look at her small size. She's not only a good athlete. Betty Louise doesn't do bad in her class work. ln tact, l'd say she's a well-balanced student. lsn't Arnold Iankowski the boy with the black hair and rosy complexion? He's awfully quiet most oi the time, but when he's called on tor an answer you can be sure he'll cover every detail. Tall, attractive LaVerne Sheehan ought to make a very good journalist. The 'Courier' car- ried many samples of her work. l think she has one of the sweetest smiles of any girl in class, too. One fellow who is a good sport and is always fair in every game, is George Audrain. ln toot- ball, basketball, soccer, and baseball, he's a tavorite ot the team because of his sportsmanship as well as his ability. There goes Constance Bostic! She's always with a group of friends. And who could wonder with her good disposition and personality. She spent much of her spare time working in the office. Ah! Here we have the genius of the class- Gerald Perkoti. jerry ranked first in the class this year and was distinguished by being chosen W Perkoti as a member of the Honor Society in his junior year. He has ability to succeed in anything and everything. lerry not only excels in studies, but at any social affair you can see him mixing with the crowd, having a swell time. Backward Dance? Bob Were you at the Meiners was crowned as the 'Little Abner' ot Normandy. 'Tall, curly-haired, and handsome' best describes Bob. Seeing him amble down the hall, you can't judge his sharp mind by his slow movements. Having sung in the Mixed Chorus and Girls' Glee Club ior three years, Margaret Hemmerle will certainly be missed next year. Her dark hair and brown eyes added attraction to all per- formances ot each. Dan Stanton is an old stand-by of the class. This Irish lad is a whiz at soccer and baseball. Danny should be given a lot of credit. Whenever you need a friend, you can always depend on Dan. Quiet, demure Marion Meyer's chief interest lies in journalism. As editor of the editorial page of the 'Courier,' Marion carries out her duties with exactness and precision. She is treasurer of the Quill and Scroll, also. Theres curly-haired Clifford Crader. l-le takes advantage of the diversified occupations course and excels in that field. Although he doesn't Page Forty-Eight 'mltle We J l'l6ll' Qlll' fj60flI'fS' N1,Cl7Ol'iOllH take an active part in social affairs, Clifford has a personality that could lit in anywhere. Virginia Taylor is always on the go. Full of pep, she's ready to do anything at anytime. Her versatile personality and blonde hair distin- guishes her in any group. The smoothest dancer in the class is Ed Schultz. The girls all like to dance with him, but his dancing is not the only reason for his popularity. Ed furnishes the boys with many laughs by his satirical wit. Didn't Marie Murray come to Normandy from Central High School? l know she-'s another new student this year, and from what I hear she's doing very good work in the commercial depart- ment. Always ready with an answer, Armin Horst- man is never at a loss in conversation. Armin's a lriendly boy with a smile for his classmates and teachers alike. Here's a girl who is everyone's friend. You can always count on Thelma I-Ieinsohn's good advice to cheer you up. Tall, gray-eyed, Thelma does a good job as a hall guard and reporter on the 'Co rier.'

That was certainly a loss to the Track Team this spring as Charlie had been a star tor three years. l-le was co-captain of the Varsiiy Basketball Team this year, too. That shows what an expert he was. Helen Hunsel absorbs everything around her. Not one detail escapes her sparkling brown eyes. l've often wondered how she remains so calm when an unexpected test is announced, but l guess she's always prepared. Unobtrusively, Emil Nothum has passed his two years at Normandy, but everyone is im- pressed with his steadiness. He's the boy the teachers speak of so highly. The way he zips through physics is a miracle. Elizabeth Seibert's first year at Normandy has certainly proved successful. Her interest in writing editorials and stories for the 'Courier' will probably carry her into the journalism lield. Lawrence Kitchen may look all brawn, but you'd be surprised. Combining both brawn and brain, he goes out for baseball, football, and basketball. What is Hilda Gallencamp's ambition? l heard she wants to become a social worker. She's perfectly suited for this work. Her line character and ability hints at the success she will be. J lflflllflllfll B0 5 am are re arecl to .efiirl fucle .Sanz Bob Dailey is as changeable as the weather. One day happy and gay, the next depressed, but this adds to his attractiveness. l-le has a unique method of getting things done. Betty lane Smith is another quiet girl. She's new this year, and we wish her lots of luck and hope she has as pleasant memories of us as we have of her. Most valuable football player in St. Louis District-that's Fred Aussieker. As our mighty varsity quarterback, he's furnished the stands with many a thrill. Fred was the high-score man for all St. Louis and added that punch that put Normandy on the top in the '41 season. We'll not soon see another athlete like Fred. I-le holds state records for the shot put and discus throw, too. I-le's one boy who certainly deserves his popularity. l wish l could knit a sweater in as short a time as Mary Lee Cox does. ln fact, there's quite a few things Mary Lee does well. She works on the 'Saga' and never fails to have a story with a by-line in every issue of the 'Courier.' Art Rahmberg is one of the swellest boys I of his way in doing classmates favors. Art's been pretty busy this year working on the business staff of the 'Saga,' acting as program chairman of the Hi-Y, and doing the duties of Captain of the Corridor Officers. That's Arthur Rouse. He's at school only two and a half days a week because he works on the diversified occupation. Arthur is very quiet and always gladly co-operates. Never serious! Always joking! Of course, you know. l mean G. W. Harper! Good-natured G. W. works hard at playing when he is at school, but he stops the playing when he gets on his job. Another fellow on the diversified occupation course is Bill Fornachon. but somehow or other he finds time to go out for wrestling and is on the varsity squad. Here's a fellow who's main interest is mechanical drawing. lt's Bob Drake. Bob wants to enter the engineering field. lf he keeps up the good work, he'll just breeze through college. Martha Godar looks equally becoming in the uniform of the School Band and that of the Girls' Glee Club. For three years she has been a faithful member of each. She played in the know. He never refuses a request and goes out School Orchestra, too. f, . li' -- - . ' ' T y B. Smith Aussie-ker Cox i isRahmberq A.

Glenn Patton's flair for sports is evidenced by his work on the track and basketball teams. There goes red-headed Margaret Colligan. She's always running about doin h ' first-page m k - ' g er duties as a eup editor of the 'Courierf Page Fifty-Two l foolfinr z'0u'arrf Me Eizture Yeah, and don't forget Margaret also went out for girls' athletics. By the way, have you ever been in a class with Frank Goedde? Golly, theres never a dull moment! His sense of humor sometimes gets the teachers, but it sure is well liked by the students! Marjorie Meeks will probably get a good job in the commercial world after graduation. Her ability at the typewriter and her many likeable qualities will makfe her invaluable. You know it, and besides that, Marjorie was in the Girls' Glee Club, Mixed Chorus, G.A.A., and 'Courier.' You know, I wish l had grades like Russell Sieving. Russ has been a good student since he's been at Normandy, Yeah, he's interested in doing all kinds of school work as well as having a lot of friends. Mariorie Drewes is a girl with a swell dis- position. She's surely got a lot of friends. That's right! She's one of the most popular girls in the Senior Class. Marjorie went out for sports and Girls' Glee Club as well as Orchesisf' wild e cmff odnticinfimz That gait could belong to only one person- Bob Ruhland. Bob's easy-going personality covers up an active fellow, though. He was treasurer of the Hi-Y, and member of both the Corridor Officers and the 'Saga' staff. Say, do you know Eleanor Hoefelmann? Boy, theres a lively girl. As editorial page editor of the 'Courier,' Eleanor contributes her bit to the school. Roy Barteau is a quiet boy, isn't he? Yeah! l'll bet he succeeds at whatever he does later on. He's well liked by his classmates. Uh-huh, and here's another reserved senior- Grcxce Duckworth. Grace has been here only a year, but she's already made a lot of friends. Yep, and Bill Bunten's another one of those likeable fellows. We need more students with his school spirit. Of course, you know that small but mighty right halfback on the Varsity Football Team was Frankie Schweqlerf' Being but five feet, three inches was no obstacle to Frankie. His fleet-footedness not only came in handy in football but in track as Well. Grinning broadly at all times, Frankie, with his dry humor, is definitely a favorite.

She's been here only four months. She's as smart as a whip, though. You can tell she's from Oklahoma by her slow, southern drawlf' That blonde, curly hair of Bill Zackmanrfs cer- tainly draws comment from the girls. You can see Bill singing at all the Boys' Glee Club per- formances. I-le's really a swell kid and has lots of friends. l Douglas Heres another person with loads of friends- Betty Courtney. You can tell by her smile that she has a sweet personality. Betty sings in the Girls' Glee Club and Mixed Chorus, too. Thelma Branson's goal is to be pleasant and make good grades. Well, she certainly has suc- ceeded in both at Normandy. Thelma makes friends easily and is well-liked by her class- mates. That Ianis Douglas is certainly lull of pep. She's always on the go. Her witty jokes never fail to raise a laugh. Ianice has looks as well as personality.

And she's really good! lt's an elective and only students who really want the course choose it. Wagner, Bach, Beethoven, Brahms. Familiar names to the harmony stu- dents. What do they do in that class? I think they analyze the composi- tions of the masters to discover basic harmonies. Of course, they aren't just a bunch of 'long-hairs'-they study the moderns, too. Other assignments are arranging melodies, improvising tunes, and filling in harmony. That's Bill Navy at the piano. l-le's improvising while Betsy Ross and Ioe Di Campo listen. When he's finished, they'll probably have suggestions to make improvements in the harmony. Look, what do we have here? That is a scene in the auto-me chanics room.

Miss Schmucker and Miss Fearnley encour- aged their homerooms to knit squares for an afghan for the Bed Cross.

There's Bob Boehlow in the next picture. l-le was a regular starter on the football team, too. l'le'll be one of the few lettermen left to bolster the '42 squad. Where's Marilyn Shous-e's picture? She's surely in some place. Oh, there she is with Sylvia Portman and Vivian Burns. Marilyn wrote one of the best essays on 'What Ameri- canism Means to Me.' You know the eleventh-grade students have been very active this year. We have all sorts of talented people to carry on the Normandy tradition. Bill Stanley looks really natural, doesn't he? l-le's certainly made himself indispensable to the school publications. His cartoons in the 'Courier' add zip to the editorials. There's no doubt about Bill's ability as an artist. Our sponsors have contributed a great deal to our successful year, too. Without them we wouldn't have accomplished half that we did.

LAWRENCE REID got a lot of C, bashful people dates for the prom. Remember his dating bureau? He arranged it so that a lot of people got to go to the dance. lt is one affair that no one should miss.

The rest of the Eleventh-Grade homeroom teachers did their share by encouraging and co-operatingiMr. Iames McClanahan, Miss Eunice Olinger, Mrs. Mary Still, Mrs. Bine Thoelke, Mrs. Natalie Runkel, Mr. Reinhold Press, Miss Marion Beck, Mr. Thomas Rapp. By the way, wasn't the Prom super? lust think, next year we'll be able just to sit back and let someone else worry about the entertain- ment. That'll be real fun. While you're talking about the Prom, don't forget the class officers. Poor Dick Mellis had a hard job as treasurer, collecting all the money and keeping his records straight. He did a good job, though, and we had plenty of money. President lack Rutherford, Vice-President Dick Iohnson, and Secretary Hazel Melton were on the job constantly, too. Say, lack, why so pensive? This is sup- posed to be a happy day. The seniors are gone, and you know we're really seniors now. lust one more year to go. Sure, l know it, but it really doesn't make me so happy. l hate to think about getting 'lhrough high school and leaving Normandy. We've had so much fun here. I understand how you feel, but we still have that big final year, and everyone seems to agree that the senior year is the best of them all. l hope our class can keep up the Nor- mandy tradition of a wide-awake, enthusiastic graduating class.

Yep, I guess they're helping and learning at the same time! What's that tapping noise? Well, it does. That noise is com- ing from the typing room. You really have to work hard in typing, don't you? Oh, it's not so hard, and you get experience which you can use dur- ing school and after graduation, too. Remember when Miss Holmes lectured about the library? Miss Pitney sent her English classes over. That was helpful information we learned. It's especially handy when you have to write a theme. I remember now that they have the Readers Guides, Cumulative Book Indexes, and many other help- ful books just for our use. Look at those tiny Christmas trees! I guess those girls are mak- ing them to go with the Christmas baskets. Yes, you know, the girls in the home economics class make pro- grams, favors, and decorations for all kinds of organizations. Uh-huh, and besides that, they have regular class work of cooking and sewing, too.

We should really get things done next year. Talking about outstanding people, l guess lane Gore and Walter Thayer rank about first on the list. They were chosen by their class- mates as the most popular students in the Tenth Grade. That is really an honor, but I think that both of them deserved it. Say, another thing. Did you know that Don Peet won second place in the Stix, Baer dt Fuller Quiz Kid Contest? He's a brain trust. l know he's plenty smart. He doesn't have to study much to make 'A's.' I wish I had some oi his ability. Our class seems to have more than its share ot people who can get things accomplished. The tenth-graders had their fingers in everything. Remember the Harvest Dance? leanette Schott and Marion Ross were up for queen. Yeah, there is always someone from the Tenth Grade up for a queen. We have some ol the best-looking girls in Normandy. There's no doubt about that. Page Sixty-Four Top Row: Long, Kansteiner Leonard, Gore, Wehrneyer, Flori Springli, Umbright, Burnett Kruse.

Betty lean lackson and ' lane Zeiser were both candidates. lt seems like Walter Thayer and lane Gore are in everything. Walter was president of the Tenth Grade and lane was secretary. Ralph Buchmueller was vice-president and loe Gore, treasurer. They were really swell officers, and l'm not a bit sorry that l voted for them. They have indeed handled all the business of the class competently and efficiently. They have served us well. We owe them a vote of thanks for all the work they did. Gee, the way we're talking you'd think there were no athletes in our class. Well, that certainly isn't true. We had a lot of good athletes, both boys and girls. lane Zeiser is probably the best known of all. She is a champion ice-skater. Did you know that she won sixth place in the National Skating Contest? lt's too bad we don't have a place here at school where she could give us an exhibition. Earl Samels, Bob Duncan, and Glen Siler were all swell basketball players, and Bob Duncan was high-point man of the 'B' team. lt was great to have two of our tenth-grade athletes on the varsity teams. Duncan made varsity basketball at the last of the season, and Samels was catcher on the varsity baseball team. Some were out for track, too. Even though we have had one of the best tenth-grade classes at Normandy, the teachers are largely responsible for guiding and inspir- ing us. Yes, Miss Gladys Krag, Mr. Hadley Craw- ford, Mrs. Genevieve Frank, Miss Edith l-lasner, Mr. Clifford La Boge, Mrs. Donalee Lawhon, Mrs. Frances Spencer, Mr. Otto Swyers, and Mrs. Elise Taylor have all helped us in many ways.

Ot course, these girls might be knitting sweaters and socks tor their older brothers Who are in the armed forces ot the United States. That's not all, though. The students who do work like this find that it is a pleasant reliet from the ordinary round oi classes. Knitting has become so popular that even the boys are taking it up. l hear they're giving the girls stitt competition, too. Say, what are those students doing in that picture? lt looks as it the photog- rapher just interrupted them. Oh, they're from Miss Long's physics class. They learn all about the precise and complicated laws ot physics and the science ot matter and motion. ls that the class l've seen in the hall outside Room ZO4? Sometimes you see students down on their hands and knees drawing pictures and moving peculiar looking apparatus around. Now, that's what l like about Spanishe eating tood which is typical of the people ot Spain and Mexico. School Work is really getting to be interesting. lnstead ot merely learning the language, students study the habits, customs, and social lite ot the people who speak a language different trom ours.

Boys in the shop courses at Normandy get thorough training in handling and caring tor tools and machines ot all sorts. All this is in addition to the tunda- mentals of making interesting and usetul things with tools. lt looks as it they are tiling something. Oh, l know. lt's a bench metal class.

Yeah, that's a neat ideaetrac- ing routes through the Pacific on the map as lack Robbins is doing. History isn't just so many words, then: students visualize the dis- tance covered and the routes traveled. N You know in social class you learn quite a lot about the govern- ment ot our country, and the way people have changed. lt's really a good background tor United States history. Those students really look am- bitious. What class is that? Oh, that's Mrs. Taylor's book- keeping class.

If HOPE my Ninth-Grade classes during ' the coming years will be as responsible and successful as they were this year. The students responded with pep and enthusi- asm to any project suggested by the teachers. Yes, although there were about four hun- dred and forty children, a large percentage held high honors in their classes and in school activities. As a whole, l believe that they were one of the most responsible groups the junior high has ever had. The ninth grade was offered a wide selec- tion of subjects again this year, and most of the children choose with great care and considera- tion their programs. l think the plan of allow- ing electives in the ninth grade has been very successful. I agree with you. Those that were planning to deal with Mexico and South America in the future took Spanish, while others planning to be doctors and nurses took Latin. Many also took French or German. A large per cent of the boys took bench metal and auto mechanics, while the girls learned to make new clothes for themselves, such as blouses, dresses, and housecoats. Those are practical subjects. What subjects were required besides gym, music, and health? You have forgotten algebra, English, and citizenship, which were the three most impor- tant subjects.

Every year the Senior Girls' Glee Club chooses eight candidates to be up for Harvest Queen, and two of these are always from the Ninth Grade. This year Nancy Schwenk and Betty Dwyer, a newcomer to our school, repre- sented the class. Didn't the lunior Mixed Chorus put up lris Phillips for St. Pat's Queen, and the lunior G. A. A. sell votes for LaVern Forys? Yes, but the real honors went to Vivienne Smith and Walter Thayer. They were the class attendants in the Coronation of the Saga Queen. You know, l believe as long as I live l'll remember graduation night in lune as the stu- dents walked up to receive their diplomas. They looked so thrilled. The first big step in their education is at last completed. They have plenty of fun and work to look forward to as they enter senior high next year. l know that they were only too proud and excited since their work reached its highest rewardfgraduation. l hope their next years are as successful as the last three. Although this group was responsible and trustworthy, they needed the excellent and helpful guidance of their sponsors: Mrs. Eliza- beth Lashly, Miss Elizabeth Tackett, Miss Martha Tillman, Mr. Herman Heuser, Mr. Harold Fink, Mr. lohn Torres, Mr. Charles Koerner, Mr. Galt Schrader, and Mr. George Bruno.

Occasion: Saga reporter talking to a junior high teacher concerning her Eighth-Grade classes. ff J D LIKE to know about some ot the im- portant things that happened in the eighth grade this year. l'1'1'1 sure there must be some interesting things to relate. Goodness, there are so many things that l scarcely know where to begin, The eighth- graders were particularly active in school projects. l don t know much about the eighth grade except that Gloria Keeney and Mel Swyers were the most popular students in the class. They took part in the Saga Queen Coronation. Yes, and Alyce Kneip, Betty Walters, and LaVerne Forys were candidates tor St. Pat's Queen. The eighth grade had its share ot good-looking girls. Who were the otticers ot the Student Council? All of them were from the ranks ot these students, were they not? That's right: lohnny Bowman was presidentg Mel Swyers was vice-presidentg LaVerne Forys, secretary: and Patsy Hulahan, treasurer. They led the governing body ot the junior school and did a fine job ot their assignment. Do the students get to choose any ot their subjects or is their curriculum prescribed by the faculty? All are required to take English, mathe- matics, and social science. lunior speech is a very popular elective tor both boys and girls, junior foods is popular with the girls, and junior auto mechanics attracts a great number of the boys. They really do have a very interesting curriculum. I think they are generally wise in their selection of subjects. Page Seventy-Six Top Row: K. Adelman, I.

Mel Swyers is captain of the basketball team, and they certainly had a good season. They won nine out of ten games. Also, there were twelve six-man football teams, and the winning team was made up of eighth-graders. Bob Elliot, Ralph Fink, Walter Haller, Bill Gentner, and Roland Bergmeier were all outstanding football players. Such athletes should be capable of carrying on the Normandy tradition of winning teams. l guess there were a lot of girls that went out for sports, too. l've heard a lot about our girl athletes. Eighth-grade girls took the lead in the Iunior G. A. A. and all athletic events. Yes, and we also have some outstanding music students in the eighth grade. Eileen Farmer and Carol Baldwin play in both the band and orchestra, and Francis Maines plays in the orchestra. There are also quite a few eighth-graders playing in the band. lt can't be said that our class was one-sided in its interests. To be a success a class must be well- rounded. There must be athletes, musicians, students, all interests must be represented. l think this eighth grade meets that require- ment. These students will be able to carry on all the varied activities as they become leaders in the school. The experience that they're getting now will not be lost in the years to come. Early training means successful leaders for our class. lt seems to me that this has been one of the best eighth-grade classes that Normandy has ever had. They certainly have been active enough, but l know their teachers helped them a lot. Who are the eighth-grade sponsors? The eighth-grade sponsors are Miss Rubi Boyce, Mrs. Anna Brummett, Mr. I. R. Cfunnell, Mr. Robert Fischer, Miss Dorothy Nieman, Mrs. Ann Ramspott, Miss Louise Schmucker, Mrs. Ruth Shay, Miss Giga Vohs, Mr. Evan Wright, and Mrs. Goldie Aber.

What is this general course that I hear every- one talking about? Why study a foreign language? Seems silly to me. Of course people should study lan- guages. Knowledge of other peoples languages brings about good will. Be- sides that, learning a foreign language frequently helps one to understand his own language. Say, I believe you've got something there. What language are you taking? I haven't decided yet. That's why I'm taking general language. Various teachers give you samples of four dif- ferent languages, Latin, French, Ger- man, and Spanish. Then you can de- cide which one you like best, Did you see the May Pete? I surely did. It was the best ever this year. Didn't you think so? I liked the dancing interpretation of Gershwin. Sll7'6fCII'l7If1 and Turning Giro the 17ll7H'I'lIfl Girls Poisc and Gnufv. There were a lot of girls in the per- formance. Do you know how many there actually were who took part in the dancing? At least three hundred. That's a lot of students who are receiving an important kind of training. The girls learn all the dance techniques which give them poise and grace. Why don't you speak for yourself, Iohn? What's that, are you practicing for a play? No, it's just for my history class, next hour. I'm going to be Priscilla Alden, one of the early Puritans. lt's a lot easier to learn how people lived and worked by acting out scenes from history. I'll bet it is. Dates don't have to be memorized, and you get away from the stuffiness of regular history books. Page Eighty Ugh, this line's spread. l'll have to do the whole drawing over. Boy, this course certainly teaches patience. Sure, but when we're finished, we've got something. That drawing of a pump you made last week was a beauty.

Thats a class in remedial reading. lf for some reason or other, your ability is not quite as good as it should be, you're placed in that class. lt's a small class, and each student gets a lot of individual help in pronouncing and writing words. ln this way, the student associates the two, and his reading naturally becomes better.

I can't wait until we can take dancing and be in it, too. I really liked it, and didn't janet Smith look nice? She was an addition to the court of stu- dents from the lower grades. I don't think anyone was sorry that she represented the seventh grade as the most popular girl. lack Radcliff looked swell, too. He really deserved to be the most popular boy. Don't you like the junior high better than grade school? Gee, I've had fun this year! There's always something exciting happening. just think that we've only begun. In two more years we'll be graduating from ninth grade, and then we'll be in the senior high school. I don't see how any year could beat this one we've just finished. But I've heard that there's more to do every year. l want to make the most out of every year. There are so many activities that it's difficult to know just which ones to choose. I think I'll try all of them out to see which I like best. I don't want to miss anything. The lower school glee club is made up mostly of seventh-graders, and did you hear the comment that the judges made on our singing? They said that it was a pleasure to hear such lovely tone quality in such young voices. 'W'e really have musical talent in our class. Did you know that Iran Struebing sang with the Bach Chorus at the Municipal Auditorium this spring? That's an honor that comes to but few young singers.

She held her own with the best in the senior high. Yes, and La Verne Forys is really popular, too. The G. A. A. sold votes for her for St. Pat's Queen. She was also a candidate tor the most popular girl in the class. Did you go out for any sports this year? Henry Greitzu was really an outstanding ath- lete, especially in football, and Lucian Barbour can certainly play basketball. Ot course, there were lots oi others who were good, but these two were super. The boys weren't the only ones that excelled in athletics. La Verne Bonzani's seventh-grade basketball team defeated the eighth-graders in intramural basketball. The six-man football teams really had quite a season, too. Lots of the boys got training in that sport. The seventh-grade teams were defeated tor the championship, but wait until next year! Have you ever seen some ot the pictures that Harold Yeomans has drawn? He is a sure enough artist. Everyone likes him, too. Did you know that there are three hundred and forty-nine pupils in our class? There are really a lot of students that l don't know. This is one ot the largest seventh-grade classes that Normandy has ever had, and we certainly have a big variety oi students. No one need worry about this class and its ability to get things done. Although the students are capable and willing, this class would surely be lost without their sponsors. Mrs. Claudine Bock, Miss Dorothy Clark, Miss Charlyne Fearnley, Miss Rose Geraghty, Mrs. Virginia Lacy, Mr. lohn Lake, Miss Dorothy Rauscher, Mr. Robert Rupp, Miss Bernice Schmidt, Miss Helene Villard, and Miss Helen Wallace have all helped us in many ways.

So today, the modern Viking boy or girl of Normandy, undaunted by the prospect of facing a superior adversary, plunges himself wholeheartedly into the field of combat and holds his honor high, unwav- ering, as victor or vanquished. Though today this field is not the mortal struggle for preservation of one's life, but merely the pitting of one's wit, stamina, and speed against that of another on the field of ath- letics, the Normandy boy and girl is a good sport even as the Viking of old. fgffaifszf aamandy PqN ly -12:1 fr' My M fs , fi 4 f A f ' 'wg WA? 4' W 'iff L afltifg fu... in l ,1 5 K' P gf, x x ga Aa if A Miz ..'f f vi' 3 71 4 X Top Row: S. lohnston, L. lohnson, Vtfright, Kitchen, Bradshaw, Sheehan, Fuchs, Boehlow, Schmidt, Roth, Walker, Wilson.

Aussieker again figured in three of the four touchdowns, scoring one and passing to Saffa and Schwegler for the other two, but the most spectacular happening of the day was the broken-field running of Frank Schwegler in his seventy-yard return of an lndian punt.

A good part of this year's team was composed ot seniors. Graduating from the starting line-up are Richard Arens, Eugene Benoist, captain ot the Vikings, Mel Sheehan, Fred Aussieker, Lou Satta, Frank Schwegler, and Ralph Rudy, the hardfhitting fullback. Main honors were given to Eugene Benoist and Fred Aussieker. Gene was chosen as left tackle on all ot the all- district teams in St. Louis. Fred, like- wise, was chosen on all ot the teams as quarterback. He also received the honor ot being picked by the Quarter- back Club and the Referees' Associae tion as the most valuable player in the district.

Mike's boys just couldn't hit the basket. The Vikings were a young and green team, but what they lacked in height and size, they made up in morale. They never gave up, and that is shown by the many close scores. Everything points toward an excellent team next year with plenty ot experience and skill to bring home the bacon. i V l 4 Ifedrlze Tops Cagers in Leap for Bull us V17 ings Win Only Gauze: Nornmzzfly Jri, Riiccnour 35.

Une of the boys, Bob Duncan, advanced so far that he played in several varsity games before the end of the year. l-le was also high- potnt man on the B Basketball Team. The squad produced several outstand- ing individual players, but the boys couldn't learn to play together, a fact which accounts for the not-so-hot sea- son, even though they made up for their lack of co-operation with spirit and desire to play.

The starting line-up consisted of the following boys: Carl Radcliff, Tom Barrett, forwards: Russell Miller, Dick Houchens, guards: and Russel Beach, the center. Carl Radcliff copped scor- ing honors with 96 points, averaging seven points each game. The other boys held up their end of the scoring, and perfect teamwork put the squad ahead.

For the past several years it has upheld the name of Nor- mandy in Wrestling circles throughout the state. This year the team lost the state championship by only three points. People, judging from Ugh's and Cots sounding from the mat, believe that the only requisite tor a good wrestler is a build like a circus strong man. However, more important than brute strength, as Coach Bruno tells and demonstrates to the boys, are speed, co-ordination, balance, and stamina. Coach Bruno remarked, Unfortu- nately, l had tew candidates for the Page One Hundred Pour He has been a consistent winner tor the team for two seasons.

The Normandy nine has brushed aside all opposition except a practice game with the Curtiss-Wright Company team, which, incidentally, is coached by our iormer baseball mentor, jim Major. Three years ago the team began a process oi rebuilding, and it has reached the peak of perfection. The Vikings won last year's championship and are now making a strong bid ior another. Today baseball is really a major sport at Normandy. Page One Hundred Eight With captions and headlines like those which came from the school paper, it doesn't look like the Suburban title is very far out of reach. Although the Saga will not be able to record the outcome, we are wishing Coach Shipherd and his baseball team all the success in the world.

No, they couldn't be playing tennis because they are batting a tiny ball with feathers on it. Mrs. Clark informs us that it is badminton that the girls are playing, She tells us it's a game similar to tennis but is less strenuous. Badminton, as you probably know, came from the English. Even though it hasn't been in America as long as some other sports, the girls at Normandy give it a hearty welcome when spring comes. Because we are so anxious to see a tennis game, Mrs. Clark fulfills our desire, and we stop at the tennis courts. A fast and furious game of doubles is being played. The girls seem to enjoy this game fully and to do it with the greatest of ease. The sun is getting rather warm so let's go into the gym for a few minutes. What's that hollow tapping sound we Q. 1 1 Ur zz lfttffc hear? lt's stopped now. There it goes again. lt sounds as though it's coming from the basement. Yes, it is. As we run down the steps, we can see that it's just a game of ping pong being played. This is a popular sport among both girls and boys. Students derive more lasting benefits from these minor sports than they do from the major team sports. After school days are over, these are the games that may be played in homes, in country clubs, in summer resorts. Boys and girls alike participate in these sports. This year more students have par- ticipated in minor sports than ever before. The girls all look forward to spring when the grass starts to turn green so that they can go out-of-doors in the fresh air and sunshine. We hope that Normandy will continue to offer these activities so that the youth of today will be healthy leaders of tomorrow.

This, also, is a performance that is looked forward to. To put the student body in the Christmas spirit, the girls gave their interpretation of the Hluggler of Notre Dame. Social life is also provided for the girls' organization. Two of their parties turned out to be especially successful. ln the fall, a hayride and wiener roast was enjoyed by all the girls and their Page One Hundred Twenty 3 l I l l they are strengthening their bodies and developing poise. Membership to Orchesis, an honorary organization, is made possible by try- outs, which are held in the spring of the year. The new members are selected for their dancing ability displayed in several routines. After one has become a member in this club, she learns that the main virtue of the organization is to entertain, with the best of her ability, the student body in many performances throughout the year. Even though the girls find their limbs a trifle weary after a strenuous work- out, they believe they have conquered the qualifications of a good dancer: poise, grace, a sense of rhythm, and ability to interpret the mood and spirit of music. The Juggler of Notre Danze dates. Early this spring, after tryouts were held for new members, a dance at The Shack welcomed these girls formally into Orchesis. This, too, made a big hit with everyone present. The group is now planning to end the year with a scavenger hunt at Mrs. Schneider's home.

The close association between parent, teacher, and student achieved in these groups is one of the high-lights of school life. The Normandy boy and girl is glad, too, to be friends of the men and Women Who work to keep Normandy beautiful and healthful. Students will remember with pleasure of listening to the music of organi- zations, of scanning the latest issue of the Courier, and the thrill of opening the Saga for the first time.

The Iunior Student Coun- cil teaches the fundamentals of parlia- mentary law and government to each one ot its members. The function ot the council is to act as a governing body for the junior school. lt is composed oi a representative from each homeroom with another person from the homeroom acting as an alternate in case the repre- sentative is unable to come to the meeting. Mrs. Virginia Lacy, the sponsor, says that the council was one of the best in years and that it worked hand in hand with the Corridor Officers and the Hall Guards to make the junior school an orderly and quiet place.

So speaks the senior corridor officer on his beat. Under the capable direction of Mr. Charles Koerner, the boys of the Senior Corridor Force keep order in the Senior Building during the intervals between classes when hundreds of the high school students are passing through the halls. That they do their job well is easily seen by the good record of no scuffles and accidents in our corridors. The boys do not attempt to be police- men. They inform the pupils about the simple, logical rules of behavior which govern the student body and make sure that these rules are kept. These tasks they handle in such an efficient, cour- teous, and friendly manner that they are among the school's most popular boys. To visualize Normandy Without the corridor officers would indeed be hard. How important is their Work! Yet how often it is just taken for granted! Nor- mandy owes a great deal to its boys.

And it shall be the duty of the Corridor Officers, not only to police the halls, but to assign all of- fenders of the laws to be duly pun- ished. Iunior Corridor Officers might take just such an oath. Under the leadership of Mrs. Elva DuGan, they police the halls for unruly conduct and assist the teachers in every possible Way. ln their lookout for of- fenders of the rules they are protecting the rights of the students who obey the rules. They are honor-bound to disf charge their specific duties, and in the event of their failure to do so, they are discharged from the force, but this very seldom happens. To be eligible for the Corridor Officer Force, a boy must have a high scho- lastic standing: he must have the re- spect of his fellow students: and he must have the confidence of the teachers. To be chosen is truly an honor. Experience on the lunior Corridor Force gives them a recommendation to the Senior Force, says Mrs. Elva DuGan, the able sponsor of the group.

One of the best drilled bands in music and maneuvers that our school has had for many a year performed during l94l-42. This perfection was achieved through hard Work during their practice periods at 8 o'clock on Monday and Wednesday mornings. One of the main reasons for the band's success was the new and unique forma- tions Which it performed so smoothly. Mr. Guenther and Mr. Thompson had the job of planning each maneuver and executing it so that each worked out smoothly on the field. The band's most impressive maneuvers were the ani- mated the football, and the moving spiral. Filling Normandy's rooters with the spirit to win, the Marching Band per- formed at all football games.

At the theme the choristers came in with a vocal accompaniment, produc- ing a beautiful musical effect. Such co-operation is an innovation in high school work. Mr. Crawford and Mr. Guenther did similar work with lerome Kern's Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. Clothed in dark green robes, the Mixed Chorus made an effective appearance at the P.T.A., Nelson Pres- byterian Church, and the annual spring concert, as Well as the county contest at University City, Where they received a fine rating. Choral music sung by both girls and boys is much more flexible than any other kind because it provides such a wide range of tones that a variety of pieces can be performed. The interest of the Mixed Chorus was reflected in the enjoyment of all who heard them.

Such was the attitude of the ninth- grade vocalists, who were no longer eligible for junior high music classes. They were supposedly a part of the senior curriculum, but the senior groups were too advanced. O Miss Betty Tackett to the rescue! Result: Ninth-Grade Mixed Chorus. The group numbers sixty-four, and accord- ing to the director has done very well in spite of the difficult music with which it chose to work. This able chorus performed at the Kingshighway Christian Church, for the P. T. A., and for a sorority, in addi- tion to singing for the ninth-grade graduation ceremonies, the perform- ance which was the chief goal of the group. The members are looking forward to joining the Senior Mixed Chorus next year, when they become full-fledged members of the senior high school. The fine work they have done this year and the experience they have gained will help imrneasurably to make the senior group even better than ever. COMBINED VOICES P. T. A. performances . . .

The members work on projects in which they display the most ability. Consequently many interesting projects are developed. Marilyn Shouse has a unique project: she made a necklace out of colored plastic. She cut plastic initials and assembled it on a chain to make a striking piece of jewelry. Richard Cross also has an interesting individual project, classifying the ninety-two elements and trying to obtain pure specimens of each one. Difficulty in obtaining the pure form of several elements forced him to use some substitutes. Gerald Perkoff was chosen Triple A. A. S. Honorary Member of the lunior Academy of Science. That means that Gerald is the outstanding high school science student in this area. Page One Hundred Forty Eight l ff -DEE! IS that animal, mineral, or vegetable? 'What a beautiful rock crystal!

Activities range from reading books and identifying rocks to experi- menting with micro-photography. Individual projects for an exhibit at Washington University or private work on hobbies consumed most of the club's time. Soil and forest conservation, and a mineral collection of fluorite are projects to be exhibited. Students are allowed a great deal of lee-way in their choice of projects. Some develop new interests: some carry on with hobbies they have already started at home. Remarkable is the time and energy the boys and girls spend in the biology room and on field trips. Their incentive is just the reward that comes from learning and studying something in which they are really interested.

These girls are always prompt and cour- teous to everyone. Making out excuses, answering questions, and running errands are only a few of their duties. Practice in filing and typing prepare these girls for future secretaries in im- portant firms. Under the expert guid- ance of Mrs. Mary Phillips, the girls learn to meet difficult situations with poise and grace. Many children do not realize the pains that these girls take to make visiting the office a pleasure. They do their work efficiently and neatly. With- out them, many of the smaller duties about the office would remain undone. Papers would pile up, and tasks would go undone until it would be almost impossible to get everything accom- plished. Their assistance is invaluable. This work enables the girls to go into office work later on and get along very well. Because of this practical experi- ence, there are many tasks they can do without being told. Page One Hundred Fifty 1 1 i x I t t gait, Tyfease, wrejs a if emu Duc F YOU are a Normandy student, you probably have received help from the cheerful, efficient girls that comprise Miss Holmes' Library Staff. They will select a book to fit your needs or tasteg or, if you have no idea where to look, they show you Where to find your subject in the card file or C. B. I. The work of the girls is the same, on a smaller scale, as that in any public library. They check books in and out, collect fines from the forgetful ones, replace books on the shelves, file cards, help students, and, in general, learn the skills necessary to a trained librarian. The Work is diversified enough to keep their interest from Wan- ing and to keep the work itself from becoming boring. lt may, at a casual glance, seem to be a thankless task, but on closer examination, one sees that the girls are benefited. They gain a knowledge of an occupation: and even if they do not enter this field, the experience will be invaluable in college. Not only do they gain this type of experience, but the work acquaints them With authors and books. ENCYCLOPEDIAS Where is the World Al- manac? . . .

Well, come along next Monday night, and we'll see what goes on. Crack! The gavel ot Ralph Wil- liamson, the president, calls the meet- ing to order.

After a general discussion ot any problem or business before the group, some mem- ber ot the program committee, or the faculty adviser, Mr. William Christian, introduces a prominent businessman ot the city, who speaks to the members on a pertinent subject. These talks keep uppermost in the boys minds their Hi-Y pledge. Improvements tor the school are otten suqqested by the Hi-Y. Have you noticed the new bushes about the walks ot the school? Two Hi-Y boys, Tom Everson, the vice-president, and Ed Cloonan, are responsible. Hundreds ot bushes now dot the campus, hiding those ugly, bare spots that were encroaching on Normandy's beautitul campus.

Getting acquainted is a problem to many of the newcomers at Normandy. The l-li-Y sponsors their first dance to solve this problem. Veteran Normandy students and new students mix together to make this dance a big success.

Weekly the club members ride along a grav- eled path on the Mississippi River. A truly beautiful setting for their sport! Give him plenty of rein! Hold him until he comes to the hurdle and then Let 'er rip! These are the familiar warnings that the oldsters yell to a beginner as he tries the jumping for the first time, It takes a lot of courage to try for that first jump. Despite falls and bruises, our gallant riders and jumpers try and try again until they are satisfied. After the jumping is per- fected, riders wonder how they lived without knowing the thrill of that experience. A horse show this year gave an opportunity for those who had labored and worked to display their skill. All participants were rewarded with words of praise and advice which will help them to be better riders next year.

OVABLE characters, amusing situ- ations, lots of action, and an everybody gets her man ending ethat was Whoofenpoof, the Senior Play. Remember? The trials of a small- town weekly newspaper and the serious difficulties through which the owners and editors piloted their paper formed the basis for the work of the comedians. Dad Ketchell and Iohn Liebuck were pioneers in the news- paper business, but Iohn's daughter, Deep, was responsible to a great extent for the paper's existence. These three characterizations were ably repre- , F01'birIden Tactics in the Nazi Householfl. sented by the veterans I-lelmich, Peet, and Ries. Whoofenpoof more than satisfied the definition of comedy by ending on a high happy note. In the closing scene the woman-hating sheriff, Tom Woods, announced his intention to marry the female vampire of the town, Betty Hen- ritze. The rest of the cast is properly amazed, and then further pairing ends the play to the satisfaction of the audience.

The German consul, Hart- land Helmich, had been killed tour times, and the question was Who did it first? As in most mysteries, the murdered man was generally disliked by all. His Wife, Nancy Ries, who was an American-born woman, had fallen in love with a newspaperman, lack Martin, but she could not secure a divorce lrom her husband.

A streamlined production of Shakes- peare's comedy, The Taming ot the Shrew, marked the debut ot lunior actors and actresses. The play revealed a number oi starlets tor future senior stage presentations. Katherine and Petruchio, the Hshrew and her tamer, were well done by Mary Lee Haupt and lack King. A great deal ot comedy was furnished by Lucentio, Walter Hoefner, and I-lortensio, Don Whitmer, in their pursuit ot Bianca, Moira Guthrie. 1 t t BfiH1f'fl'S Suitors I-3elzf'r1r.vre Their C0'1U'fS71i1J Scene.

A special trombone quartet added spirit to the raising of the flag at the Armistice Day Assembly. One assembly that gets a lot of play is the activity entertainment. All groups receiving money from the activity fund participate in the program. The intro- duction of the football team always brings down the house, because they are important, popular boys in the life of the school. Each year Mrs. Schneider's dance group performs at any and all occa- sions. Their first appearance this year Was at the activity assembly. The many banners and posters made by the stu- dents Were carried by the girls in a peppy, cheery routine. Assemblies occurred this year only when something important warranted calling the Whole school together. Since there were fewer meetings, the students appreciated much more the ones they did have. Besides the assemblies at Which outside speakers appeared, sev- eral athletic assemblies were called. d Seventy-TWO Probably the most important one was for the presentation to the school of a trophy awarded for Fred Aussieker, the district's outstanding football player. No school year would be complete at Normandy without some assembly or lyceum starring a magician. This year was not lacking in that respect, for Walt Everman's liquid air demon- stration appeared anything but a reality. Cf course there was the magi- cian, too, and his baffling acts with students as stooges. Our music groups have always re- ceived high rating and praise from the judges at the various contests they entered. Normandy's assemblies, there- fore, have the tops in vocal and instru- mental music to entertain them through- out the year. The first lyceum of the year was the demonstration of the trampoline, which made miraculous acrobatic feats ap- pear very simple. 'We all found that the effect was quite different, however, when Gordon l-leuser tried his skill on the instrument. The experts proved their skill not only in the trampoline but in comedy tumbling and general acrobatics. The Novelty Trio will long be remem- bered for introducing the solovox to Normandy. Many of the audience Nfzrrlazzix Assist Jlagivtzllls. failed to see the small box attached to the piano keyboard and felt the deep melodious tones were part of the pianist's special talent until the new instrument was explained. One mem- ber of the trio almost raised the gym roof by twirling his baton among the rafters. Members of this talented group also sang baritone solos, played sev- eral very difficult violin selections, and gave a combination juggling and acro- batic routine. A travelogue of some country or far- off principality has always been on the lyceum program sometime during the year. Mr. l-lardenbrook's travelogue on Tibet was a sensation. He told of taking a bath in a huge pan, in which tea was made. And the bath was such an oddity that he took it in front of the whole village. Mr. l-lardenbrook's life in the monasteries of Tibet was inter- estingly pictured to the students by his native costume, although the weapons and lack of sanitation aroused the most awe in the minds of all. Lyceums and assemblies are always popular with the students for they are the one time that all meet for concerted action. Other less important, routine matters are taken care of in the home- rooms. School spirit aroused by a good, high-spirited pep assembly puts every- one in the mood for a big football vic- tory. IMIHCCTS Help in rlvtirify glSSC'l7l.lPI'lj fzzsic am! Tjanc HA!

Sweaters and saddles on the boys and girls alike created an atmosphere of comfortable informality. Mr. Christian, able sponsor of the Hi-Y, directed the arrangements for the refreshments and an unanimous vote agreed that he is one swell fellow. The boys owe much to him for the success of all social gatherings. Remember this? Bob Meiners, being presented that valuable bouquet of garden vegetables, solemnly thanks Betty Cassens, mistress of ceremonies. He was Normandy's first Li'l Abner and his escort, Betty Bushman, was the first girl to lead the honored boy in the spot- light to his place before the microphone. That was the dance of the year, spon- sored by the Saga. When the turn- about cutting began, the boys, in their Marked Rhytlzm for the Clzrisfmas Dance. blushing way, accepted each new part- ner with the grace of finishing-school manners. Decorations by Normandy students showed originality of thought. Isn't this a swell picture of Norma Cruce and Ralph Williamson? She made an adorable Queen of the Har- vest and Ralph, her escort, wore his usual broad grin. Music organizations worked hard to make this dance a success, and their idea of wearing blue jeans and pina- fores was received with welcome en- thusiasm by the boys and girls of Nor- mandy. Sleepy loe and witches and cats, symbolic of the harvest time, were drawn by Bill Stanley. The tapping soldiers of this picture are Lola Gray, Mary lane Collins, Marian Melton, and La Nel Klausman.
