A year of many achievements, of many victories, and even some defeats has added its chapter of memories to our lives. In passing We wanted to leave some thought, some remembrance. Our book was, therefore, based on the seasons of the year, which passed and took their vibrance with them. First, there was the Fall. lts glowing colors portrayed our enthusiasm, our beginning again. Its treasured memories brought thoughts of har- vest time, hayrides, warm nights. Then, with de- termination, the Winter' set in, bringing with it dances, parties, fun and work. At last, came the Spring. The Spring that promised reward for our labor during the heavy winter. The Spring which renewed our hopes, brightened our eyes and lifted our heads toward the future. 949 Spnngs Glory Q Tm ,7 ' gpfrfvzos S if V 'JJ I ln, rf ' f rl Seasons et ti amid Nw GWHGH ACKNOWYQEDGEMENTS: if Hurry Swain, Ir.

When the molten summer sun Breathed warmth across the land The streams were clear and blue And wheat fields rose from sand.

This responsibility is safe in the hands of our well-qualified and far- seeing board. There are many other activities which claim their time and consideration. These supervisors are working continuously and conscientiously for the betterment of facilities at the high school. Their foremost objective is to house pupils in buildings which are safe and com- fortable and equipped efficiently. They not only work for the betterment of facilities in the high school but also at the various elementary schools, where many additions and improvements have been made this year. Their able guidance of school activities and their supervision of scholastic standards have made Nor- mandy one of the most advanced school systems in the country. Most of them have been working toward this goal for many years. f X I They are constantly planning for the develop4 ment of the schools in the Normandy School Dis- trict. Their long-range planning will eventually give Normandy a fine system of school buildings. The IISW Junior building, which was begun under their administration, will add modern conveniences and give the senior student body many more class- room. By their untiring effort they have made Normandy a superior school system. I TOP ROW: Burner, Thiele, Metz. BOTTOM ROW: Kniep, Ritchie, Wiqhtmcm. Page Eleven .ALM .fdeluiaora LONG, EARNESTINE M.

After a few days this new class acquainted itself with the unfamiliar surroundings and was right in step by the time fall was on its way. Starting their long climb up the ladder, each seventh grader faithfully attended his English class every day. There he learned the funda- mentals of grammar and acquired an apprecia- tion of the various types-of literature. Skits were used to dramatize and make more real cer- tain phases of the English work. These were en- joyed by each student. Another one of the old faithful subjects car- ried along from grade school was geography, now called social,'.

Since they were not willing to give up, they finally secured the right answers and sailed through with flying colors. Page Among the many classes, sewing seemed to be a favorite of the girls. They made many useful g articles of clothing: they learned to design cos- tumes: to purchase suitable materials for themg and to plan harmonizing wardrobes. Twenty-Two ouiced ecome om emen Boys were interested in woodworking and put their talents to making bookends and other useful articles. Never to be forgotten were the hours which were spent in art and music classes. In these classes boys and girls learned to appreciate the cultural subjects and gained ideas of new ways to get fun and relaxation in the future. The seventh graders also proved themselves to be very democratieg they elected dfficers in all their classes. They took part in the .lunior Student Council and elected repre- sentatives from each homeroom. After all this, a little time was left for so- cial lifeg dances and sports events offered the entertainment. At the May Fete, Susan Dobbin and Don Allen graced the Court of Love and Beauty as most popular boy and girl of the seventh grade. Seventh graders construct a huge globe.

To prepare for the courses offered in the senior building, they were allowed to choose an elective subject. For those students wishing to have some prac- tical use in money and finance, the course of Junior Business provided many interesting hours. ln order to gain poise and self-confidence many chose Junior Speech as their elective.

At the meetings of this new Junior Science Club members discussed problems pertaining to the various phases of science. Coach McCartney proudly exhibited his eighth grade boys' basketball team and added that he felt that they will make fine varsity players in the years to come. Harold Beck- mann, Richard Lodly, Larry Tracy and David Barnes were the outstanding players who were working toward this goal. These guys and gals also kept up the so- cial whirl and elected Doris Cunlcel and Fred Bonnnarito to represent their class in the Saga Court of Love and Beauty. Looking forward to the time when they will be part of the Senior High, the eighth graders worked hard to establish a firm foundation.

P86 men l'el0G,l 2 Ol' jltufe For the eager ninth graders the step into their freshman year provided many new and interesting activities. For the first time since entering Normandy they began to think about their plans after high school and chose their sub- jects accordingly. These subjects were grouped into three curriculums-academic, commercial, and general. The only subjects they were re- quired to take were: math, citizenship, English, gym, and music. Many freshman students take languages. Those offered are: French, Latin, German, and Span- ish. The reports from the teachers show that the ninth graders worked with great enthusiasm and found them very interesting. Citizenship was another subject which was much talked about by all freshmen. This course included an analysis of the State and Federal Governments and an outline of the Constitution of the United States. They gained many useful ideas of democracyg these will enable them to be- come better citizens of the land in which we live. Ninth grade officers make plans for graduation.

Many boys proved to be outstanding athletes dur- ing their freshman year. Emil Kainmer and Bill Garafalo played freshman football and were pro- moted to varsity reserves. James Burkholder played varsity football for the entire season.

The foremost thought, though, in every ninth grader's mind was Junior Graduation. A few were selected from the class to give speeches. As each received his diploma, he recalled the fun and experiences which he had during his junior years. Wearing pastel dresses and spring suits, they were very ex- cited as they walked to the platform to receive their diplomas from Principal R. D. Shouse. Truly this was a never-to-be-forgotten event!

Now at the close of the year it can be seen that these and even greater heights were attained by this wide-awake class. The only subject required for the sophomores was English. The other four subjects were left to their own choice. In choosing these, they usually kept in mind the requirements for graduation from high school and their future plans after school.

For many tenth graders it was extremely interesting, because it told a story of the progress of mankind from the days of the cave man to the time of the atomic bomb. Stu- dents learned of our 'great debt to the past ages and that present events may be understood by a knowledge of successes and failures of other leaders and nations. Such a course certainly proved to be a source of conversation among all the students. For those interested in scientific courses biol- ogy was almost a must',. The viewing of tiny one-celled animals under a microscope and the study of the working organisms of man gave the sophomores many enlightening hours in biology class. Geometry was the subject offered to those still interested in math',. It taught clearer reasoning as the completion of many theorems and propositions was reached. Page Thirty-One Geometry teaches clear, concise thinking. Mn Jergra ua fed aiu uccefw Led by: John Vitale, President, Lawrence Lorenz, Vice President, Mildred Mosby, Sec- retary, and Shirley Shipherd, Treasurer, these sophomores also proved themselves able to hold their place in the social life of Nor- mandy. H Kenneth Porter and Don Giessow were out- standing football players and held positions on the varsity team. Donald and Ronald Guariglia also excelled in basketball and held a permanent place on varsity. Let's not for- get, howeve1', our all-important B team: Bobby Eckart, Bob Donovan, and Lawrence Lorenz were responsible for many victories. Sally Dillard and Pat Creve were candi- dates for Harvest Queen. Mildred Mosby and Don Guariglia served as the most popular sophomore girl and boy in the Saga Court for 1949. ' In scholarship, athletics, and in the social whirl this class was really '6tops .

Judg- ing from the records made and the goals at- tained, the juniors are quite ready to assume the role of leadership next year. The Creative Writilig Club claimed the time and talents of many juniors. Among those so inclined were: Carol Vonckx, Alice Donahoe, Virginia Trennell, and Marlene Streng. Art classes were filled with many eleventh graders who used their abilities in pottery mak- ing, drawing alld painting. Active participants in the Art Society were: John Ezell, Alice Dona- hoe, Helen Wolzenski, and Barbara Wfocet. Many members of this class played in the Band and Orchestra. Carol Vonckx was concert- mistress of the Orchestra. Linda Hardy and Ann Brannan lent their talents to both organizations. Students who plan to work after graduation took commercial courses. Typing and shorthand were the most popular, but many students wish- ing to become more proficient enrolled in bookkeeping. BACK ROW: C.

All of them worked very hard and many proved to have a future in writing. The class of 1950 also had many outstanding athletes-both boys and girls. Dave Smith ex- celled in football and basketball. ln the latter sport he played on the varsity team. Jerry Hud- der and Don Haynes also played varsity football. The swimming team claimed the efforts of Al Deddens and Bill Bergfeld, who proved faithful participants in all meets. The girls were not to be outdone: Dottie Bett, Delores Rozier, and Lorraine Frey played basketball and hockey to the best of their ability. Another large job for the junior class was planning the Junior-Senior Prom. Each home- room elected a representative to serve on the steering committee which planned all the details.

The Vikings, led by Captain Denny Gallagher, struggled through another rough football season. Pre-season talk showed Normandy to have a strong backfield with four returning letter- men filling these positions. A back injury to quarterback Ken Dillard in the U. City game put him out for the rest of the season. Coach Shipherd had to try many players before he finally found a winning combination for the Vikings. The season ended with Normandy winning 4, losing 3, and tying 2. Gallagher and Samel were brilliant backs, while Hudder, Haynes, and Velten were outstanding linemen. Denny Gallagher was the unanimous choice for a position on the all-star Suburban League team. Captain Denny Gallagher leads Vikings to tsictory.

Sharp, cracking sounds echoed across the athletic field as excited girls watched their teammates drive the ball toward the goal. Once more the G. A. A. sports sea- son had begun. Not only did you find these girls playing hockey, but they wholeheartedly participate in the outstanding sports of the changing seasons. Under the leadership of Miss Norma Kissner, the members met twice weekly to join in clean sport and to receive training which might enable them to become Vik- ingettes. After completing the seventh grade, the girls' attendance rec- ords were checked and if 4400 points were obtained, the girls were awarded a Normandy NNW Extra points might be obtained by holding offices, being managers, or acting as referees.

The 1949 varsity hockey team chose Catherine Schneider as its manager. Having a fair season, the team won one game, tied one, and lost two. Although the girls didn't have a successful year, they still had fun coming out for practice after school. Each grade can be proud of its managers, who were: Rose Lee Montague, ninth, Betty Han- sen, tenth, Dolores Rozier, elev- enthg and Suzanne Kunkler, twelfth. At the end of the season the girls on the team reluctantly turned in their equipment to Miss Ferguson and Mrs. Helen Dunbar, sponsors. Rclera gnfoy Canfer Every Friday after school 15 girls, accompanied by Miss Fer- guson, their sponsor, went to Mis- souri Stables for a few hours of horseback riding. There they learned the fundamentals of good horsemanship: correct posture, posting and control of the horse. As a climax to this training the girls participated in the annual horse show at Missouri Stables. Here their hard work was duly re- warded for several of the girls won ribbons in equitation classes.

Run for your life, were the cries of the boys, but the girls outran them and dragged them to Lassies' Leap, the annual backward dance given by Saga. There Ed Velten was crowned King of the Shmoos. Corn stalks and paper moons created an atmos- phere for the Harvest Hop, and the students saw Bonnie Franck crowned Harvest Queen.

Accord- ing to their report, they had more fun than any of us who had to remain at home. lncidentally, they learned much that could he used in producing the 1949 Saga. Any Saga or Courier student who was able to attend the Printing Press Exhibition at Stix, Baer and Fuller, had a very interesting experience.

'M ingd merge Ucforioud The varsity cagers started the 348-949 season with a loss to Southwest, 50-35, on our home court. Coach Riegert soon found a winning combination when co-captain Ken Dillard recovered from an ailing back and was able to get back into action. Mov- ing into the Christmas Tournament, the Vikings were riding on a three-game winning streak. Playing an inspired brand of ball, the Vikings captured their first title in sixteen years. Normandy ranked fourth in the Green Division and became the upset team of the tournament. Starting slowly with a 38-31 victory over St. Peters, the Riegertnien whizzed past McKinley, 4-4-36, to reach the semi-finals. Aided by Ken Dillard's fifteen points, the Vik- ings conquered first-seeded McBrideg thus they nioved- into the final round. On New Year's Eve an overflow crowd watched the Red and Green dethrone defending champion Cleveland, 40-32. Dillard and Klasing each had a dozen points. Winning this game meant the achievement of a sixteen-year goal, which was to win our own tournament. Normandy soon became the surprise team of the district when they downed all competition for twelve straight games. They de- feated such traditionally strong teams as: Cleveland, McBride, Page Sixty-Six T ZD9adLefeer5 in gkriafmad ournamenf Webster and Maplewood. There is a bad apple in every basket and Brentwood proved to be the one by dumping the Riegertmen, 44-4-3, this ended the winning streak. The Vikings journeyed to Yveb- ster in an attempt to bring back the tournament title. Normandy easily walked over St. Charles, 49-22, in the opening round of play. In the semi- finals Kirkwood upset the Red and Green in an over time period, 4.5-42. Normandy defeated Ma- plewood, 37-34, to win the third place trophy. After winning the next six games, Normandy lost the last game of the regular season to U. Cityg this tied the Vikings and Webster for the Suburban League crown. The Vikings were honored with first spot in the Subregional Tournament seedingsg however, joy was short-lived as the Huskies of Ritenour delivered the upset of the year. The Vikings fought hard to pull the game out of the fire, but when the smoke had cleared Normandy had lost, 46-45. Although the ending was not very joyful, a lot of credit should be given to: Don Guariglia, Ed Velten, Dave Smith and co-captains Rich Klasing and Ken Dillard, who rounded out the Viking quin- tet. Klasing and Dillard received all-district honors on most of the teams chosen. W' inning the Christmas Tournament would be ample reason for congratulat- ing this team, but the brilliant record of nineteen victories and only four defeats rates the team as one of the best that ever took the Normandy court.

Coach Shipherd's first string consisted of: Bob Donovan, Lawrence Lorenz, Bob Eckardt, Bill Slattery and Don Giessow. These boys stepped into big shoes, for they tried to equal the excellent record of the previous year. That team lost only two games and won the Suburban League Tournament. Because they were able to defeat their first seven opponents, the SBU cagers seemed to be well on their way to an undefeated season, but the Vikings met their match in a strong Webster team. Our team dropped only two other games in the regular season- one to Ritenour and one to Webster. Normandy entered the Suburban League B Tournament as defending titlist and was seeded second. Hadley QU. Cityl elim- inated the B squad in the first round of play. Even though the ending was poor, the team still had a successful season-win- ning thirteen games and losing only four. Since many of the boys made the 1950 varsity, we must look for a new B team. CCo11tinued on page 1391 Page Sixty-Eight Waimea lgface wire!

Because of unlimited member- ship, swimming groups were di- vided into three classes: advanced, intermediate and beginner. Advanced swimmers entered meets which were made up of many different races. Breast and backstroke along with freestyle made up most of these contests. Swimming instructor, Martha Jane Ferguson, set a goal for each swimmer to reach. 'Each girl had to have a thorough knowledge of the basic strokes and stunts and the ability to do them well. Will- ingness to give the time to adjust strokes and learn new skills was important also. The student had to be unselfish and sacrifice her personal desires for the good of the group. The girls also proved to be graceful ballerinas as they per- formed ballet swimming to music. Their graceful form and beautiful strokes brought enjoyment to all the spectators. Sunimmers prepare for time trials. On. your mark! Get set! Beginners learn. the art of kick-i-ng.

To make sure the young athletes observed good sportsmanship, Mrs. Helen Dunbar and Miss Martha Jane Ferguson stressed that as much as learning the fundamentals of the sport. By learning such tactics as pivoting, the girls became quite experienced in sports. This experience was useful when the girls showed their abili- ties in the annual event-All Sports Day. Each individual had to be on her toes because of the large number of teams with which . she competed. This year the coaches had a difficult time in choosing the varsity team. It was not because of the lack of good material but the over-abundance of it. The team managers of each grade are as follows: Ninth grade, Gwen Masong tenth grade, Shirley Oliveg eleventh grade, Dorothy Bettg and twelfth grade, ,lean Schott. A high jump gets results. . Page Seventy-Two Woolied ecome oaffermen NO1'll18lldj',S Lettermen Club was one of the most outstanding organizations at school this year. The club was limited to fellows who had earned at least one varsity letter in any of the major sports. New Lettermen had to undergo what was known around Normandy as Rookie Weekn. In keeping with the tradition, these Hrookiesi' had to follow any order given by their superior letter-men. Under the directiongof Mr. Morris Blitz, the boys gave their annual Letterinen Dance, one of the most exclusive dances of the year, which proved to he a big success. Following in the footsteps of the Lettermen, the Vikingettes earned their letters in the same fashion. Guided by Miss Martha Jane Ferguson, the girls worked toward the 61000-point N , this usually takes two or three years. The Lettermen and Vikingettes were not only outstanding athletes but good sports as well. We were proud of our two outstanding athletic organ- izations and the standard they set for the future.

During the first semester, the editors and the business managers, with the members of the Courier staff, attended the N. S. P. A. convention at French Lick, Indiana. The staff, sponsoring its annual Backward Dance, honored Eddie Velten with the title of Lill Abner and in February they again went all out to make a complete success of the Cupid's Cuddle or La Dance d,A1l1OUl'. The biggest event of the year was the Saga Coronation of the King and Queen of Love and Beauty at the May Fete. It was work to make the book the way you want it, but we had fun doing it.

Page Seveniyalfour CC ourier pafed American 9 Much of the success of this year's paper must be attributed to the excellent work of the journalism classes, who were responsible for a majority of the feature articles. Special credit should go to Mrs. Mary Still, who labored unselfishly to make Nor- 1nal1dy's newspaper one of the best. Among the en- thusiastic journalists were the co-editors, Betty Pouncey and Lou Thacker. At the beginning of the school year they at- tended the National Scholastic Press Association convention in French Lick, Indiana, with melnbers of the Saga staff.

After-school and evening dances were given by the Council members and the huge Normandy campus was kept clean by loyal members.

There are five altogether: Alpha Iota, Iota Delta, Iota Kappa, and two ninth grade groups. They were known for their democratic way of life under their completely new constitutions which were drawn up at the beginning of the year. Each Tri-Y went on its own way, doing things that would help build up their reputation of good fellowship and loyalty. The Iota Kappa girls took the immense job of adopt- ing a family of five in the school district, they knitted an afghan and gave the children clothes at different inter- vals. Iota Delta had quite a busy time sending clothes to the people of Serbia and having several box suppers. Alpha Iota is not to be forgotten, they gave some of their time to stuffing envelopes with Easter seals for the benefit of crippled children. The two newly organized ninth grade groups haven't as yet done much. The sponsors of the Tri-Ys were: Miss Anne Sanders, Miss Lucile Castagna, Miss Colleen Wilkinson, Mrs. Mary Gean Forgus, and Mrs. Loretta Carey. With a great deal of help from them, all the Tri-Ys put their heads together and came up with something new, different, and a good deal of fun, the all Tri-Y dance. Each girl and her date were invited to attend and participate in all the fun. The girls plan, with the help of their sponsors, to have more dances and parties next year. H The girls have done good work this year and are to be admired for their integrity. Tri-Y is an emblem of fellow- ship, loyalty, and the democratic way of life.

Viforking hard and long was a worth while task for all Junior High School students who wanted to proudly wear the tiny silver pins inscribed with the words: Scholarship, citizenship and activ- ity. Girls and boys in the seventh, eighth and ninth grades were eligible for membership if they were able to reach the high requirements of an honor student at Normandy. To do this they had to gain points: in citizenship by being elected as class offi- cers, in scholarship by retaining an average of at least a B, and in activity by participating in extra- curricular activities. lf the students possessed all these qualifications they we1'e nominated for mem: bership. Their names were given to the faculty for a final check. The new members were initiated during an as- sembly given for the Junior High School. The group of honor students was capably guided by Mrs. Kuehncr and Mrs. Stamstad, sponsorsg Norma Sue Graham, president, Laura Lefman, vice presidentg Jerry Thacker, secretary, and Bob Ut- laut, treasurer. Jzmior Honor Society officers plan, program for coming initiation Page Ninety-Five uaiciand Wainfain .sianclarcla Throughout the years, the music department has endeavored to maintain a high standard of music appreciation. At one time the Band and Orchestra Parents, Association was reduced to a committee, which later included the vocal department. This committee organized the Normandy Music Associa- tion. The purpose of it was to provide opportuni- ties for music students to perform in public. By selling memberships to interested parents, Soft music and sweet voices bhmrl as the Triple Trio sin-gs. they raised 1no11ey to finance new equipment. These memberships greatly increased community interest in Normandy's music groups. The Association sponsored a Christmas concert, in which they were assisted by the art department and the modern dance group. In the future they hope to present more profes- sional shows by using printed programs, equip- ment, decorations and lighting. Page N inety-Six gkorioferd WaLe mfr Wneiebed Always one of the top music associations at Nor- mandy, the Senior Mixed Chorus again held one of the first places in our school. This well-trained group met, during the school term, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday in fourth period. Mr. Thornton, their capable di- rector, drilled them on harmony, tone and perfect timing. The maroon-robed choristers numbered, in all, about ninety. Throughout the year, they sang a wide variety of selections: Negro spirituals, hymns and popular songs. Singing the syncopated spirituals required much alertness and cooperation by all chorus mem- bers. A change of tempo was found in the hymnsg these the group handled unusually well. Their contributions to many concerts during the year greatly enhanced these programs. They dis- played their talents at P.-T.A. meetings and the Christmas assembly. Along with other musical or- ganizations of Normandy, they upheld our tradi- tions by assisting in the Spring Concert which is held annually during the month of May. t Senior Singers, clad in maroon robes, appear in many concerts. At the County Music Festival, in University City during the last week of April, soft voices and sweet music were blended to make an excellent perform- ance. There the Senior Mixed Chorus ranked very high among the other St. Louis County high schools.

It was preparing for appearances at home football games, each of which was begun with the stirring Star Spangled Bannerw. Perform- ing at the half, the band made many formations on the field and played two or three numbers which always included the school's Alma Mater. The band played at four of the Music Associa- tion's concerts. The February concert, almost com- pletely presented by the band, was thoroughly en- joyed by all persons who like band music. Of its many selections, most of the students chose the ever popular Sabre Dancel' as their favorite.

It also played at the American Legion sponsored memorial service at Creve Couer Lake. ln addition to two assemblies for the students, the band entertained the parents at the P.-T.A. meet- ing in April. During that month, it also participated in the County Music Festival. The Concert Band has been one of the most en- joyed of Normandfs entertainment groups.

The aim of the hard-working Junior Band was membership in the Senior Concert Band. These young musicians spent many long hours of prac- tice trying to achieve their goal. Meeting on an average of three days a week, they strove to attain a perfect blend of tone, harmony and rhythm. They worked together under the direction of Mr. Edwin Could. Mr. Could not only rehearsed his band as a group, but tried to help them individually to per- fect their own techniques and skills. This well-polished band exhibited its talents at various times throughout the school year. They appeared in several school assembliesg they per- formed in the Normandy Spring Festival, and they attended the all-school meet at Webster Groves. 0rcAe5fra emondfrafed Percussion provides the basic beat for the orchestra. The melodious music you heard coming from the bandroom might have been the Junior Orches- tra rehearsing for one of its many concerts. The goal of these hardworking Juniors was advance- ment into the Senior Orchestra. Receiving expert training from Mr. Guenther, the director, they were well qualified to become Seniors. Consisting chiefly of strings, the group played a variety of selections. Favorites were: 4'Hungarian Village, Down on the Levee and '5Cypsy Cradle Overture. For large concerts the assistance of the advanced Woodwinds made a well-balanced orches- tra.

Under the direction of Miss Nan Kennedy, the Seventh Grade Mixed Chorus sang in the Junior Spring Concert during the last week of May. The Eighth Grade Mixed Chorus, directed by Mrs. Marian White- head, also participated in this event. At Christmas both groups provided the music background for the play given by the speech classes. In preparation for new and more difficult music, the determined Ninth Grade Girls' Glee Club worked diligently to prepare for several concerts. Among them were the annual Spring Concert and the Spring Festival at University City. This group of hard-working girls also sang at the Ninth Grade Graduation.

Directed by Mr. Thornton, these talented boys were welcomed wherever they went. Qualities they tried to obtain were: good interpretation, artistic effects, tone diction and rhythm. Their repertoire included: compositions from light opera, hymns, marches and popular pieces. Because of their excellence, they were chosen to give many assemblies and concerts. They spent long hours of practice for the County Festival, the Music Association concerts and Nor- mandy's Annual Spring Concert. This hard work and their group cooperation made this club an outstanding musical organization. eniorfi armonize With professional technique and perfect harmony as their goal, this group of eighty vivacious voices blended their charm and talent to make up the Girls' Glee Club. Singing chorales and madrigals, the group offered diversified programs. Among these were: Spring Festival, Christmas P.-T.A. pro- gram, Spring Concert and school assemblies. An unusual performance was the one which they presented during the Christmas season at the Del- mar Baptist Church. Offering sacred and secular numbers, they gave inspiration to the audience. All the above accomplishments should be attrib- uted to the expert direction of their leader, Mrs. Mary Wolcott, who spent long hours planning those very excellent programs. Normandy si-ngers attend State Music Convention. Singing with clear, sweet voices, girls entertain their classmates. Page One Hundred Five Every Tuesday and Thursday morning the area around the band room was filled with the pleasant, confused sound of an orchestra tuning up. The Normandy Senior Orchestra was preparing for re- hearsals which were held from 8:15 until the end of the first hour. The orchestra, which included some of the most talented of Normandy's students, was one of the most popular musical groups on the campus. It appeared in all five of the Music Association's con- certs and was the entertaining group at one of the P.-T.A. meetings. Besides giving a very enjoyable assembly here for the student body, it gave assemblies at Wellston High School and at Eureka. Among its many appearances away from Nor- mandy, possibly the most important was the part it took in the St. Louis County Festival which was held at Webster Groves High School. oncerf Orckedfra gxkigi One of the traditional performances was accom- panying for the annual May Fete. This year the group surpassed its former appearances with the presentation of the difficult first movement of Men- delssohn's Nltalian Symphony? Of the many beautiful selections played by the Senior Orchestra this year, the one that seemed to be a favorite with the audience was an arrangement of the music from the hit show 'cOklahoma. The concertmistress this year was Carol Vonckx, a talented eleventh grader. Every year the members of the orchestra choose one of the seniors to receive the Arion Foundation Award. The award was given to the student whom the other members considered the most talented. Joe Labuta, an exceptional trumpet player, won the honor this year. After hearing its performances, the student body agreed that this was a11 excellent orchestra. Page One Hundred Six .7aLnfec! Wuaiciana 1.

On Tuesday morning during the pre-school period, these masters of ballad, blues and jazz practiced to attain perfect harmony and rhythm. They gave versatile performances throughout the yearg these included a concert with the band and playing Winter Wonderlandi, for the Orchesis. This practically new ensemble, consisting of seventeen musicians,'boasted of the trumpet of Joe Labuta and the trombone of Kenny Benoist. The steady beat of the drums was attributed to Robert Skippy,' Merriman. Carol Kolkmeyer was its vocal soloist.

With spring here once again, the sound of wood meeting leather was heard by anyone who wandered near the Viking diamond. Cloves, balls, bats and uniforms were seen after a cold spring and a long basketball season. Under the critical eye of Coach Art Shipherd, the baseball team prepared for the coming season. With many veterans returning, the team was expected to have a great year. Being rained out of their opening day game with Cleveland and not being able to play the following clay with the same club, the Vikings were shaded by a stubborn Clayton team in their first game of the year. Failure to hit with men on base in the early innings cost the Clayton ball game, 3-2. Since they were trying to hit a winning streak, the team came through with a shutout against Maplewood. Fred Kruse pitched a one-hitter for the high- light of the game. Keeping the winning streak alive, Don Boen- ker beat Wellston, 5-3, although the defense behind him wasn't up to par. A strong Granite City team proved to be too much for the Vikings in a non-league game. The pitching failed to click and once again the need for hits with men on wasn't forthcoming.

The big Mgymv, a popular spot on the campus, served as a place for after-school dances as well as night dances which were given by the Student Coun- cil. Many of the teachers who chaperoned said they had as much fun watching the students dance, drink cokes, and run around the dance floor as the kids', did themselves. Come on, Schills! Come on, Wolcottsln were the cries of the crowd during an assembly which was given to decide the volleyball championship. Because they defeated Mrs. Wolcott's homeroom, defending champions, Mr. Schill's team became the champions of 194-9.

Although some girls were slow in dressing, they really hustled when they reached the field and be- gan their game. Around this time of the year, kids began to get a funny disease that seemed to hit them pretty hard. They just wanted to sit around in the nice warm sun. Don't ya know yet? Spring Fever! Yes, sir, spring fever had cast its spell on Nor- mandy's campus. After recuperating from Rookie Week, the neo- phytes had to plan and help with a dance called the Ounce Bounce, which was sponsored by the Lettermen's Club, of which they were now a part. Sally Dillard, crowned Swimming Queen, presided over the dance. The Prom! What a great night! This was a dance that almost every senior boy and girl had awaited for four years, he was especially excited about it during his last year of high school. ln- cidentally, the decorations were most unusual, very effectively they carried out the chosen theme. The Juniors, who gave the prom, were very proud of their accomplishments. Eagerly they anticipated 1950 when they would be entertained by their suc- cessors. Every day about 12:30 a few students left Nor- mandy's campus. Don,t worry, they didn't get any demerits. They were on a D. 0. program. This schedule allowed them to study on the campus for a part of the day and to put into practice in an of- fice, shop, or store the things they had learned. in their class. Over the Top.

Since this was their first year in dancing, they all worked hard. iWhen the May Fete rolled around, these gals got a chance to show what they had accomplished during the year. For the Orchesis members, the busiest three nights in the whole year were May 18, 19 and 20. The annual May Fete, performed then, was most unusual because the girls did their own choreog- raphy. Hats off to everyone who participated in it. t i t Class Day or Senior Kids Heaven was the day when the seniors didn't have to go to school but presented an assembly for the rest of the students fusing all the hidden as well as the obvious talentj . Well, kids , the time has come for me to wind up all the events that have taken place on our cam- pus for the year of VL8-'49, The seniors who grad- uated this year have had lots offun at Normandy and will remember these good old school days forever.

Bonnie Franck and Dot Drury, an- other twosome, took advantage of the nice spring weather by sitting on the benches on our beautiful campus. J une Marske and Marilyn Horst, 4-9'er pals, seen together a lot when two cer- tain boys weren't with them, met each other after school closed for the day. Stopping between classes to tell each other the latest gossip were Betty Mar- ten and Sally Deem, or 4'Liz,, and Speedy . Margie Graham and Gerry Weidner, or if you want to be chunnny with them, Marg and Ger,', talked things over after they finished eating their lunch. Nancy Dunham and ,lane McCool, known as Nance,, and Janie to all their friends, discussed the School Life section of the Saga at their favorite spot on the campus. Suzanne Kunkler, Jean Schott, Deane Tinker and Pat Wilmes, four great pals, were often seen together in the big gym', when they had some free time. Sally Schorr and Mary Ann Dunn, alias Sal and Mare , who have been pals since the eighth grade, relaxed dur- ing their lunch hour. enior ag njog amlaua Page One Hundred Nineteen Orclzeaifi riginafezi ancea BACK ROW: Tebbe, Neumann, Wilkerson, Erhe, Voss, Pcxtt, Kunkler, Soer, Dierkes, McCool, Mattingly, Nutt, Hamilton.

The girls added something new to their repertoire this year by participating in a Square Dance pro- gram on Thanksgiving. After completing this pro- gram, the girls began to work out their Christmas pageant, The Juggler of Notre Damef' Accompa- nied by the Girls' Glee Club and Orchestra it was truly a seasonal treat. The girls worked out their own theme for the May Fete, and because of that they had a real de- sire to give a polished performance.

Captain Gallagher succeeded kicking into Belleville's coffin corner. Instead of kicking out, Belleville elected to run with the ball, only to be nailed behind the goal markers for a safety. The score then stood at 7-2. But the greatest thrills of the game carrie late in the final period when Normandy drove to Belle- ville's 4--yard lineg it was first and goal to go. How- ever, the Vikings were unable to plunge over in four plays, and the Maroons took over on their own 8-inch line. When Belleville got off a bad kick which went out of bounds on their own 10- yard line, Normandy acquired another life. The Vikings powered to the 5 on the first play, but on the next play Normandy fumbled and Belleville recovered. This was the Vikings, last scoring threat, and the game ended with Normandy on the short end of a 7-2 score. RITENOUR 13, NORMANDY 13 The Ritenour team, playing their best game of the year, held the Vikings to a 13-13 tie. Ritenour got into the scoring column first, early in the second quarter, when they marched 60 yards to the touchdown. Their extra point attempt was good and the score read-Ritenour 7, Normandy 0. The Vikings were not to be forgotteng a hand-off from Gallagher to Samel carried the hall to the Ritenour 7-yard line. Samel cracked off tackle for the score, and Gallagher tied the game with a good boot. Ritenour opened the second half similar to that of the first when they marched again into the Nor- mandy end zone. Plays later the Vikings were in Ritenour territory. A pass to Velten put the ball within striking distance of the goal line. Gallagher then scored on a quarterback sneak. Neither team Page One Hundred Thirty-Six l made their second half extra point, and the game ended in a 13-13 tie. KIRKWOOD 13, NORMANDY 7 Sparked by their All-District end, Gene Jackson, the invading Kirkwood Pioneers won a victory from the Vikings. Taking advantage of a break, Kirkwood tallied in the first quarter. On an attempted punt from deep within Normandy territory the Pioneer line blocked the ball. Jackson grabbed the ball in mid- air and raced across the goal line for the score. Maas kicked the extra point to put Kirkwood in a 7-O lead. In the second quarter the Vikings reached the 11-yard line before losing the ball on downs. A chalice to score in the third period was ruined by a fumble on the 15-yard line. However, the third time proved to be a charm for the Red and Green, and late in the last quarter Denny Gallagher cli- maxed the Viking drive by going over on a quarter- back sneak. Velten kicked the extra point to tie the score. After the kickoff Jackson caught two long passes to bring the ball to the Viking 10. Here the line threw back the Pioneers for two plays, but then Jackson snagged a pass in the end zone for a touch- down. With a minute left, Normandy started passing. The Vikings drove deep into Pioneer territory, but the gun sounded with the score reading-Kirkwood 13, Normandy 7. GRANITE CITY 0, NORMANDY 19 A wind-swept field and sub-freezing temperatures provided an appropriate setting for a hard-fought, fast-moving football contest.

Granite City retained possession of the pigskin for quite some time but was unable to penetrate the Vikings' stout defense. Halfway through the second quarter Normandy took steps to ice up the game when Gallagher cut loose with a 10-yard pass to Velten, who made a spectacular catch for the score. The kick was no good. The play of the game, and possibly the year, came late in the final period. Porter, Normandy's left halfback, faked an end run only to leap high in the air at the last minute and fire a 30-yard pass into the waiting arms of Eddie Velten for a touch- down. This was the end of the scoring and the Vikings left the field with a 19-0 victory. WELLSTON 0, NGRMANDY 14 Three thousand enthusiastic spectators turned out for the annual Normandy vs. Wellston Turkey Day game with the Little Brown Jug at stake. The game, which attracts considerable public interest, was car- ried by radio station KXLW. Normandy began rolling early in the first quar- ter when they powered to within the shadow of Wellston's goal posts. Gallagher cracked off tackle for the initial score, Velten converted. Wellstori held the Vikings deep in their own ter- ritory, for the most part, in the remainder of the first half with an exceptional display of punting. The second half found the Vikings driving again and again deep into enemy territory only to be turned back at the last moment. In the closing min- utes of the game, Normandy finally tallied when Rich Samel plunged across from three yards out. Velten's kick was perfect and the game, along with the 1948 football season, came to a close.
