Therefore, this page of our drama is written in recognition of all the men and women in the Armed Service of the United States of America. Four 1.lb edi ca MR. EDWARD K. OWEN In token of our appreciation, the graduating class of 1944 has chosen to dedicate this drama to Mr. Owen. Although Mr. Owen came to St.Charles High School just five years ago, he has become a dear friend to all. Mr. Owen served as assistant coach for two years, and athletic director for the past three years. Through his hard work and splendid direction, Mr. Owen has secured and retained for St. Charles High a good standing in interscholastic and intra¬ mural sports. Therefore, to express our deep gratitude and sincere appreciation, we dedicate this drama to Mr. Owen.

In the presentation of this drama we have endeavored to spotlight the main features of the year. In doing so, we present the Charlemo for 1944. Seven J. V. Jones, Principal Mr. Jones has the difficult and responsible task of being principal of the high school. It is part of his responsibility to keep the school running on schedule in spite of extra-curri¬ cular activities ... to give the students advice about choosing their course of study . . . and to aid the students in planning their future education. Mr. Jones has successfully carried out these responsibilities for the past six years. There¬ fore, we, the seniors of 1944, express our thanks to Mr. Jones. J. Ed Travis, George M. Null, Grover Parker, Dr. T. L. Hardin, A. H. Luerding, Milton E. Meyer. Eight tldoard op (ddducation There is probably no other group of officials in the community whose decisions are so far- reaching in their influence as the Board of Edu¬ cation. The board members must necessarily think ahead of the public, for they are elected as educational leaders, and in order to serve the public as such, they must be in the vanguard of modern educational thinking and practice. It is the duty of the Board of Education to accept final responsibility for the standards of the schools under its jurisdiction. Although it is a distinctive privilege to serve on the Board of Education, it also involves a great deal of work and responsibility. 7 o Mr. Blackhurst, superin¬ tendent of our public schools, we, the student body of St- Charles High School, extend our vote of appreciation. Mr. Blackhurst is known and liked by all the students, teachers, and his many friends, for his friendly manner and high character. He is interested in each student’s happiness and well-being, as well as his scholarship. Through his interest and cooperative deal¬ ings, he is respected and admired by all.

The student actor today has great advantages over his counterpart, the student of previous generations. Now he has a choice of a more varied course of study . . . the privilege of expressing himself in the classroom . . . and the chance of selecting the course of study most suitable to him. Now, more than any other time in history, the classroom has become a place where the student may express his ideas concerning world happenings and free government, and where he may |ome to understand more fully ■ ttvirrvm ' i !9H fcp. vfj| 1 1 I JP I T hirteen o JLe C ia66 oj ' 1944 — Jlie 5tar6 Ladeen Ostmann A studious maiden have we here; She studies hard throughout the year.

The Freshman group, although it began its career just last September, has proved not quite so “green ' ’ as Freshmen are usually supposed to be. At the begin¬ ning of the year, things seemed a little strange to them, but they came through with flying colors. They showed an eagerness to get ahead, a quality which is an important factor toward success. Thirty dJlic ' Uncleritudiei From the Freshman class this year have come several of the school’s outstanding musicians and athletes. ' Also there have come several prospects of good actors and actresses.

THLETICS always a major part of a school drama—not only for the pur¬ pose of building strong bodies and strong minds, but also for the purpose of stressing good sportsmanship in the youth of today. Good sportsmanship is a quality in people which is praiseworthy. The students of S. C. H. S. have always had the reputation of being good sportsmen. This is shown not only by the students who participate in the intramural sports, but also by those who observe from the sidelines. I Thirty-three Row 1—T. Runge. G. Pickering, E. Poindexter, E.

FOOTBALL T THE beginning of the 1943 foot¬ ball season, Coach Owen gathered around him a group, for the most part, of inexperienced gridiron aspirants who lacked everything except a willingness to gain pigskin polish and a desire to fight for St. Charles High School. With the help of “Gib Fischbach and Everett Struckmann, Coach Owen worked with these boys to mold them into a smooth running football machine. Following weeks of strenuous practic¬ ing, the St. Charles eleven took the field on September 17 for the first game of the season against a strong Central team. Central pushed her first touchdown across in the second quarter but failed to con¬ vert. The Pirates came back fighting and scored their first and only touchdown of the game during the same period on a pass from Bushnell to O. Stiegemeier, but also failed to split the goal posts for the important extra point. In the second half, Central’s power and depth of position was the story of the four scores she made —St. Charles 6, Central 32. The next game on the schedule was against a powerful Ritenour eleven. The Pirates took the lead early in the second period when Ohlemeyer went through a hole in the line to plunge across for St. Charles’ only score of the game. The at¬ tempt for the extra point was unsuccessful and the score at the half was 6-0 in favor of St. Charles. After a scoreless third period, Ritenour opened up a passing at¬ tack in the final quarter that netted them a touchdown, and the game, when they toed a bull’s-eye for the extra point— St. Charles 6, Ritenour 7. The following week the Pirates traveled to Wellston for a Saturday afternoon game. After both teams failed to score in the initial period, the Pirates “broke the ice’’ when they scored in the second quar¬ ter on a 15-yard pass. Great defensive play by the line paced by Meers and Schoene held the Wellston team scoreless for three quarters, but in the final quarter they made their only score of the game on an intercepted pass. We had failed in our attempted conversion; Wellston made hers good. St. Charles lost another heart- breaker by one point—Wellston 7, St. Charles 6. The next scheduled game of the season was the homecoming game against Kirk¬ wood. Kirkwood made both of their touchdowns in the first quarter on blocked punts. The Pirates came back fighting and Thirty-four started a ground attack led by Moore and Tiesing, which ended only when Moore went between Struckmann and Paule and raced 26 yards for a touchdown. Although the Pirate eleven threatened to score sev¬ eral times in the final period, they were unsuccessful in crossing the goal line, and when the game ended, the scoreboard read St. Charles 6, Kirkwood 14. On October 22, Wellston came to St. Charles for a return game. The Pirates jumped off to an early lead in the first period when Westermeier threw a pass to Ohlemeyer in the end zone. In the follow¬ ing period a pass from Westermeier to Ed Runge accounted for another touch¬ down. Both of the tries for the extra points were unsuccessful and the score at the half stood St. Charles 12, Wellston, 0. Wellston made their only score of the game in the third quarter when they op¬ ened up a passing attack. They threatened again in the closing minutes, but were stopped by the line paced by Baum and Struckmann and by L. Stiegemeier’s good defense work in the backfield. The Pirates raced off the field with their first 1943 victory—St. Charles 12, Wellston 7. The next game Clayton was the host to the fighting Pirate eleven. Clayton scored twice in the first quarter, but made only one conversion. St. Charles came back fighting furiously in the second to score on a 15-yard pass from Westermeier to Stoehner; the place-kick split the goal posts and the score at the end of the first half read St. Charles 7, Clayton 13. The Pirates scored twice in the third quarter —once on a lateral intercepted by Stoeh¬ ner and again on a pass that involved the same passing combination as the one in the second quarter. However, Clayton was down but not yet out and scored on a line plunge in the closing minutes. As the final whistle blew the score was knot¬ ted 19-19. McBride traveled to St. Charles on November 5 for the final home game of the season. The Pirates lost no time in sho wing McBride they meant business when they passed and ran to a touchdown early in the first quarter. Neither team scored again until the third quarter when McBride made their only touchdown of the game, and in the last quarter the Pirates scored on an end run. McBride fought back furiously but was unable to get through the Pirate defense. When the final whistle blew, St. Charles had an¬ other victory to their credit as the score- board read St. Charles 12, McBride 6. The last game of the season was plaved at Maplewood on November 12. The Pirates made their only score of the game and the last of the season when Mossman went over the goal line in the second period. The try for the extra point was good and the score at the half was 7-0 with St. Charles on the heavy end of the score. However, Maplewood scored three times in the second half to defeat the Pirates 18-7. Now that the 1943 football season is completed, we can look back on it and say that we had a very successful season; perhaps not in the number of games won but in the kind of fight and sportsman¬ ship that was displayed during every con¬ test. As co-captains O. Stiegemeier and Struckmann were the only experienced boys on the team at the beginning of the season. We can truthfully say that we lost many games for lack of this neces¬ sary experience. Thirty-five . l r j , iL fL At. 1 mm ■Q W t f n | Slip ' I L r Hr l ■■ ' ■ Tv-’jJA Row 1—P. Hardin (manager), R.

BASKETBALL UR 1943-44 basketball season, if we measure only in games won and lost, pos¬ sibly was not so successful, but with just pride we hail this year’s wearers of our Blue and White. For no matter how strong the oppo¬ sition or how far behind, the team knew not that they were defeated, and raised the white flag only at the final whistle. After losing the season opener to a strong Clayton team, the Pirate quintet came back to shoot, pass, and dribble themselves to two successive victories by winning a thriller by one point from Western Military, and by completely “swamping” Jennings 42-19. Kirkwood broke the winning streak by de¬ feating St. Charles in a high scoring game 5 5-37, but the Pirate quintet came right back to trounce Ritenour 51-23. During the Christmas holidays, the St. Charles quintet participated in the Normandy Christmas Tournament where they defeated Roosevelt in a low scoring game but lost to Southwest 32-25. After the holidays our boys lost four con¬ secutive games to Wellston, Webster, Nor¬ mandy, and Kirkwood, before crushing Rite¬ nour 41-21. This was the bright spot before they lost four more consecutive games to worthy opponents, namely Maplewood, Wellston, Clayton, and University City. In the last game of the regular season, the St. Charles quintet overwhelmed Jennings 50-31. Individual honors were earned by the Pirate Captain, O. Stiegemeier, winning a place on the second Suburban All-Star team, and his teammates Robert Ohlemeyer and Irvin Stoehner receiving honorable mention on this same mythical team. As time marches on and next year rolls around, St. Charles High School looks for¬ ward with confidence and pleasure to see the Pirate Craft scuttle all opposition. Thirty-six TRACK FTER many weeks of hard monoton¬ ous conditioning and training, con¬ sisting of running, jumping, and weight tossing, the Pirate cindermen were eager and ready for the first dual meet of the 1944 track season with Clayton on April 7. Applying all the fundamentals of the sport, as well as a lot of extra effort, they won the meet from Clayton by a score of 116 to 101. However, they lost the fol¬ lowing meet to a strong Normandy team. Although no records have been set as yet this year, Vernon Baum tied his own shot put record of 46 ' 8 in the dual meet at Normandy and is expected to break this record as well as the discus record, which he also holds. The Pirates still have to participate in the following meets: Dual meets with Maplewood and Kirkwood, State Outdoor Meet, District Meet, University City Invi¬ tational, and the Clayton Invitational. We feel sure our 1944 track team will prove themselves true “Sons of Athens’’ in these forthcoming meets. Individually and as a team we hope they will cover themselves with glory and honor, and bring home to St. Charles High coveted ribbons and trophies. For the second con¬ secutive year, St. Charles High won the State Class “B ’ Championship. Row 1—R. Knoernschild. L. Quisenberry. G. Mitchell. J. May, G. Fields, E. Noah, A. McKay. R. Gust, P.

At the end of the regular schedule, two teams ended up in a dead heat and the championship was decided after the team captained by John Meyer edged out a 20-16 victory over Maurice Fliehman’s team. N the lightweight division, the team captained by Henry Schoene passed, dribbled, and shot their way to the cham¬ pionship. The champs proved their mettle by winning their last game from Howard Boschert’s team thereby staving off the challenge of their runner-ups, namely Ted Runge’s team and Billy Goodrich’s team who were tied for second place honors.

Thirty-nine Jhe Star SctorA S CHOOL-LIFE would not be complete without extra-curricular activities. For this reason students organize the various clubs each year. These different organizations offer to the students an opportunity to develop their talents, and in doing so, contribute to the cultural life of the school. There is no better way to develop their talents than through organized groups. With these opportunities to develop talents, the students can emerge into life with a more com¬ plete and varied knowledge of many subjects. Forty-one Romani Sdodi term Romani Hodierni, the Latin Club, under the sponsorship of Miss Fahy, completed an interesting and successful year.

This year the club purchased some new equipment, including a backstop to prevent breakage of arrows. The club planned several social activities which were held in the spring. The Stamp Club, in its second year of existence, has become one of the most popular clubs of the school. Stamp collecting used to be termed the hobby of kings”, but now it has become more than just a hobby. It is a fascinating study, an enthralling science, that attracts young and old, rich and poor. The meetings were devoted to trading stamps and discussing histories of rare stamps. Fortu-six HE Girls’ Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Powell, has been an active organization this year as in the years preceding.

It is through social activities, combined with classes, organizations, and athletics, that the student is able to develop a likable person¬ ality which will aid him in all his dealings with people. By meeting people and becom¬ ing friends, he can develop poise and con¬ versational ability. The secret of success lies in being able to associate and converse freely with individuals upon meeting them. So it is that social activities—parties, play- nights, and dances—are an important part of school life.

The cardinal principles for membership are scholarship, character, leadership, and service. Members, who are elected by the high school faculty, must be in the upper 25 per cent of their class, must be of high character, must be recognized as outstanding leaders, and must be eager in their desire to be of service to the school and to the student body. To wear the pin as a full-fledged member is not only a great honor, but also a great responsibility.

Pay no attention to the coach ' s training rules. Don’t put your bits of paper in the wastebasket. Remember always that seniors are dignified. Don’t be polite to the teacher; she’ll think you have good manners if you do. Never expect to leave Miss Gruer’s class on time. Go to class with a blank mind. If your classes bore you, walk out. Never hurry home to eat—take your time. Always keep library books at least three weeks. Never arrive at school before 8:45. (Advice from John Senden and Tubby Schnarr.) Don’t throw your gum in the wastebasket. The floor is closer. Always salute a senior when passing. Everyone liked his Charlemo picture? We got off a month for Christmas?
