Five QQDWZMJ WE PEEL a symphony orchestra to be an appropriate theme for our yearbook: as a symphony orchestra blends in perfect harmony, so do our classes, sports, and activities blend With only an occasional discordant measure. This is a book Which, like a musical manuscript, improves With age. Should you Wish to enjoy it to its greatest eXtent, read it now, and lay it aside until the years lengthen and the hairs on your head grow thin. Then, and only then, will you Wholly appreciate its clear and en- chanting melody. But let us not delay, for the orchestra is tuning up. Are you ready for the overture?

There are numerous responsibilities and problems that confront these members each year. They deserve unlimited praise for their untiring efforts in promoting the best interests of the school. MR. STEPHEN BIJXCKHURST Superinlendem The importance and responsibility accom- panying the office of Superintendent of Schools is great. However, Mr. Blackhurst, aside from being a competent executive, has the ability to be a friend to all and to cooperate in many stu- dent activities, making him more than a mere school official, but rather a friendly counselor and guide.

'lihirl g -setfe Q ? Paul Blessing and Harold Beasley. iowa!! Two weeks before school began, a group of about thirty boys reported to the new coach for football practice. They became acquainted with the coach fast, for the next two weeks they saw him twice daily, After two weeks of practice, a scrimmage game was held with McBride, which we lost 13-O. Then, after one more week of practice, the season opened against the strong Central team, who defeated us 30-O. Following this, we lost the rest of the games to Wood River l2-O3 Ritenour 47-6: Kirkwood 38-O1 Wellston 47-O3 Clayton 38-O: Crystal City 7-O Cwas called at the halfj, and Maple- wood 20-O. Although we scored only one touchdown, the Pirates threatened the goals many times but failed to have that extra punch to put it over. The only touchdown came in the Ritenour game during the second quarter on a pass from Wycisk to Buettner. While the Varsity squad lost all of their games the Junior varsity showed much strength this season by winning live games, tying one, and losing one. Although the Varsity lost all of the games, the season may still be called successful because of the fine sportsmanship and teamwork which were shown by all the boys on the Held. Row l-E.

Thirty-eight If'6LC After a hard, strenuous training the Pirate Cindermen journeyed to Columbia where they took part in the State Indoor Meet in which they placed fifth. Our first dual meet found Eureka on the short end of the score. The next Saturday the squad traveled to Clayton to participate in the Clayton Invitational. The competition was keen but the Pirates stood their own ground. Our next dual meet was with John Burroughs, which we lost by a narrow margin. The fol- lowing Saturday the team took part in the Maplewood Relays. The District Meet was held in Principia the following Saturday, at which time Moe Pischbach broke the pole vaulting record. The Pirates have yet to participate in the U. City Invitational, the dual meet with War- renton, and the State Outdoor Meet. With the spirit they have shown in previous meets. they will undoubtedly prove themselves to be true 'Sons of Athens . Row l7Glennon Hollrala, Jimmy Filling. Paul Senden Ciene Fields. Moe Iiischbaeh.

The next few weeks the Buc- caneers played host to HU City, to whom they lost 42-293 after this defeat, our team played a hard-fought game on the Ritenour hardwood, but lost by two points, 29-27. After this game, the quintet played eight home games in succes- sion, seven of which after a see-saw battle they lost. In the other home game the quintet de- feated Clayton again 23-l6. The remainder of the games were played on the opposition courts. Although the team gave the games everything they had, they came out on the short end of the score, losing to Wellston 30-21, Webster 45-33, Normandy 49-36, Kirk- wood 39-37, and Western Military 53-34.

They were then eliminated by Francis Howell 4l-34. The next tournament in which the quintet took part was Louisiana. A bye was drawn the first game and the second game was played against Vandalia whom they overwhelmed 38-31. The next game was lost to Louisiana 40-30 and this made them eligible to play for third place. The Pirates were overcome by a much taller team to whom they lost 40-28. The season ended with a much improved team composed of boys who enjoyed the season even with a few defeats. l-Don Hesskamp CManagcrH, Henry Scheone, Benny Rufkahr.

A close relationship must exist between the percussion section and the director in much the manner that organizations should establish a close relationship between the stu- clents and the teachers. Forty-flue Band The music department at St. Charles High School was reorganized in 1946 in an effort to give more time to all groups. The vocal and instrumental departments in the high school were placed under one head, and an elementary teacher was hired to teach the grade schools and the junior high. Mr. Vance was named super- visor and director of the high school groups. The St. Charles High School Band, eighty musicians, appeared at the county fair in the fall and at all football games. Various groups of the musicians have appeared throughout the year as entertainment at various civic and school functions.

Helene has selected Niki as her future husband because he reminds her of her child- hood sweetheart, Rupert, who is now in exile in England. Niki obeys his Emperor's command to go to Sylvania to wed Helene, but instead, he falls in love with an American artist, Kay Robinson, who is paying her way by singing in a little cafe. Complications arise. Niki tells her of his love. They have been fol- lowed by the King and Lothar, Sigismund and Rupert, and Helene and her Aunt Matilda. Niki is spectacularly caught as he professes his affection for Kay. Niki and Rupert are shipped off to London. Niki and Rupert overcome difficulties and return in the nick of time. Rupert claims Helene for himself, releasing Niki, who is free to marry Kay, and a double Wedding is in pros- pect as the play comes to a close.

W. WOOLWORTH CO, Hundred My Wolfe ram ffm ,Spaniard The time has come for us, the Seniors of '47, to close our symphony even though we could speak of many things. We are thinking of the past record of our school and of the part we have played in its history. Never again will we be able to recapture the carefree gayety which we felt during our days in St. Charles High School. Working, playing, and practicing together, the hours slipping by amid gay insouciance, we lived only for the present. And yet, quite un- consciously cohesion grows, and a very definite spirit emerges. Only when the timid little fel- low of Class IX has slipped into senior sophis- tication does he suddenly realize that he and his classmates now belong to the good old days. No matter how much our class may scatter, we will always be found together in this, our Senior Yearbook. The interest of the school will continue in us, Let us live up to the best that is within us and strive to reach the ideals of our school has fostered throughout the past four years.
