What really leads us forward are a few scientific discoveries and their appli- cations. Louis Pasteur. T IS not easy to keep in touch with the advancement of science, for the term covers an area so Wide that all phases of However, in Bayless, students are offered life are touched by it. courses acquainting them with all types of achievement of modern science, emphasizing its meaning in various aspects of modern life and thought, and indicating the place of science in modern, social, and industrial relations. Because so many students have become interested in this field of learning and because it offers such a wide range of professions and endeavor toward which they may work, we, the Seniors of 1939, choose science for the theme of edition of the Oracle. DEDICATION v EARNING is the basis of all success in lite. People have been curious for thousands of years to know the how and Why ot all things. This curiosity has formed the field of learning which we know as science-that division of knowledge that has created a higher plane of civilization through the process of thorough experimentation. Because it plays so great a part in the efficiency and comfort of the word, We dedicate this volume ot the Oracle to Science. ,sn ll 51' 5 3 2355+312 i -- f'-.ls 5 5 , elf 5 ..a-5,,,,,' 1 ,4 . , V ., - ig OUR BAYLESS Beauty in Architecture ADMINISTRATICDN !ll li H ll 1' 3' it .M wx, M, '-- P 31 'U :lu V54 fl, A - 4 .13 cv' :Q Fi 169365 lim V1 in t y i fy, 'N I AA ' lf EQUITIES V E humans own but little outright: we have equities in many things. There are equities in stocks and bonds, equities in houses, equities in the understanding of crafts and sciences, equities in human friendships. Equities that are not to be weighed or measured or told in terms of dollars usually represent more of real wealth than the treasures upon which we can lay our hands. For a fine friend- ship will not depreciatep time cannot corrode a kindly service: the elements will not disturb the beauty and worth ot a gen- erous consideration of the other fellow. These are the quiet worth while equities which all may possess. Violet C. Bascom SUPT. VIOLET C. BASCOM To Mrs. Bascom the Senior Class wishes to express grate- tul appreciation for wise counsel and guidance. Her eagerness for our success was evidenced in the many instances of un- seltish consideration for every member of the class individually, as Well as for the class as a whole. In Mrs. Bascom We found generous understanding and active helpfulness. The Senior Class of '39 will remember her always. --16 3- .ff WT fi Mt? o r-ttf will A rt'l?g2lfQg'?aigh,.,,LA MR. WM.

Friendship is to me but a Word-shallow, empty! All that I have believed it to be has but resulted in Hypocrisy! A life-boat?

They live across the roadway and they wave a fond Goodnight And they call across Good-Morning at the very earliest light. They do their work together and they study and they play: They have to see each other at least twenty times a day. They talk and laugh and chatter till you'd think that they had said Every single thing that could be found within a girl's head. But when they sleep together after talking all the day: They have to wake each other up-they have so much to say! But in all the tongues we speak Whether French, or German, Latin, or Greek Sufficient Words are lacking: they have a language all their own, Their invention of some symbols that they use when all alone.

M14 'X - SHY BOY OF BOLD SIXTEEN V Is it really so much fun, after once you have begun To entertain the girls in seats of nearby regions, That you make them squeal and titter, Make their laughs burs. with a boom And halt admirably-halt sarcastically Attract the looks of all the room. Do you feel, oh, so supreme, Shy boy oi bold sixteen? Do you feel like an almighty climbing realms Tell me, oh thou youth of youths, ls it hot, there in the limelight? Now you've won a letter on the team, Your some innocent maiden's rarest dream But thou art such a fool it seems, Shy boy of bold sixteen. of pure delight, Elsie l-laack, '39 NIGHT AT BAYLESS V Since this is the first year I have participated in a play, coming to school at night is a novel as well as thrilling idea to me. During the day, the building is bursting with activity. Walk- ing down the hall one hears teachers' voices, singing from the music room, shouts from the gym, and as We descend the steps, the pounding of hammers and Whir of electric saws. But at night a death-like silence pervades the place. The rooms are empty and dark. The halls seem long and dim and the radiator at the end of the hall, reminds one of a coffin. It frightens me to stand alone in the dim corridors Where a single foot-tall is unnerving and where a shrill giggle is re- echoed until it sounds positively eerie. In fact, it frightens me, sitting safely at home, just thinking about it, so that I guess l'll lapse back into my usual mental blankness. LaVerne Tobin, '39 -ID 7 K gn- .

A chaperon was quite the thing in days of long ago When Iohn and Mary went to see a good old-fashioned show A maicaen blushed to show her arms when sleeves were rolled a it And mothers used to sternly say, We'll have no more of itl Yes, times have changed from olden days and just between you and me, There's little use in wishing for things that used to be. They've gone with all old-fashioned things, they're as distant as a star There's nothing quite as good on earth as things just as they are.

Don't get discouraged though heavy your load, For it represents the struggle of life! When finally you come to a really smooth stretch Of the route, with much darkness ahead, Ominous, mysterious, ogre-like blackness Like Valhalla, the home of the dead. But as you approach, you may see there a sign Near which a rough rutted side road appears, Detour, the sign says, you've made a mistake. Resign to your fate! Don't stop to shed tears! But don't get discouraged, don't alter your pace, lust keep your head high and a smile on your face: The detour will come out on a beautiful lane That's free from ill, weary heartache and pain. Shirley Kaeser. BUSINESS V Dim-yellow lighted, By muddy soot covered Windows, Shaded by narrow, green blinds, edges ragged, Sticky cuspidors in dusty corners- A den made drab by Webby ceilings and Streaked Walls held up and apart by The thick fog of smoke issuing From frustrated human beings- This-a criminal lawyer's office in A wretched downtown district. ln this atmosphere of low poyvered lights, Where a single brilliant mind prods and plugs To master the problems of lowly offenders, In these sordid surroundings Felons find haven and counsel. Is there any reason for such dregs? Yet they persist, for some cannot resist Temptation.

Suddenly an idea comes to me. How many of those thirty- seven are going, to graduate from Bayless High in '39? Count- ing them, l find that seventeen have left the class while twenty still remain to graduate in May. Seven of the seventeen were girls, while the others were boys. Some have quit studying and have gone to Work, others are attending various schools in St. Louis or the vicinity. Of course other students have come into our class by moving into the district, or coming from parochial schools. At the present time forty-two Will receive their diplomas in May, twenty boys and twenty-two girls. That will probably be the end of academic studies for most of them, making it im- probable that there will be a class of '43 With more than one or two former Bayless students in it. B. W.

Each six Weeks a new president, vice-president, corresponding secretary, secretary-treasurer and an executive and program committee are chosen in order to afford more experience in parliamentary procedure. Round table discussions have been based on Post Mortemsf' Lethal Gas, and Consumers Purchases. At Christmas The Forum had a party in the Home Economics room. Ioseph Chase and Arthur Frick gave a sketch, Lorain Tucci gave a reading, and gifts were exchanged among the members. Its chief purposes are to foster better speech, to acquaint the members with authentic sources of information on world affairs, and develop a genuine interest in matters worthy of a good citizen's attention. One of the richest experiences of the club Was the International Debate held at Washington University between Oxford and Washington Universities.

It is a combination of the cultural-practical in that its aim is to understand the theatre as an aesthetic experi- ence, this understanding being fostered and increased by actual work on productions. Through bi-weekly meetings, discussions, and attendance at the American Theatre the members have become acquainted with such prominent playwrights as Maxwell Anderson, Iohn Monks Ir., Clifford Oddets, Bernard Shaw, Eugene O'Neil, Sin- clair Lewis, George Kaufman, Moss Hart, Rachel Crothers, and such actors as Alfred Lunt, Lynn Fontanne, Ethel Barrymore, Eddie Bracken, Gertrude Lawrence, Harry Ellerbe, Philip Meriuale, and Cornelia Gtis Skinner. Up to date, reports have been given on Projection of the Voice, Make Up, and Entrances. There are thirty members in this club. ln the course of the year it has been made possible for twenty-eight members to participate in plays.

Some of the poems enjoyed are Elizabeth Ann, Sante Fe Trail, Miss Tee, Forgotten, Go Down Death, 'North-bound, and Alexander's Beetle.

The Boy's Glee Club has participated in so many ot the school's programs that any form of school entertainment seems incomplete without them. lt may be said that if they are not placed on the program officially, they burst out unofficially some- where before the evening is over, in the locker rooms, on the way home, or wherever they get together. 1 The two accompanists, Dane Boyd and Kenneth Ott deserve special mention tor their good Work. Thanks to them for preser- vation of the masculine atmosphere.

Its principle is to foster curiosity in the interesting scientific fields. At the club meetings, which are held twice monthly under the able supervision of Mr. Meyer, the science instructor, problems, and subjects of a scientific nature are discussed. The club has been helpful to its members both in the knowledge gained and the friendships formed. OFFICERS President .........................,...... Dolly Fisher Vice-President ..... ......,...

You're wrong! lt's a club, the Womens Athletic Association, which every girl in high school has the privilege of joining. The organization was formed one day two years ago by the girls' versatile gym instructor, Miss Hartman. A constitution was drawn up, officers were elected, and the birth of a new club at Bayless was hailed. During the infancy of the club, each business meeting was preceded by a program in which the girls displayed their various accomplishments, When the tap-taps of dancing feet were heard or the strains of a soprano voice floated through the halls, the faculty and the less fortunate ones knew the W. A. A. girls were at it again. This year the club sponsored a hike on which twenty-eight girls, with lunches, briskly trotted three miles to Lilliecraft's Woods and hours later dragged what seemed six miles back home. Besides the benefit of exercise and fun the girls derive from membership in this organization, they have another object in belonging to the W. A. A. At the end of each year the state awards a pin to every girl who has earned a thousand points for skill in various athletic activities. These pins mean as much to the girls who have earned them as the letters do to the boys who receive them for participation on any of the teams. The W. A. A. is proud of the following six girls who are in line for a pin this year. Florence Gutjahr Thelma Frederick Gertrude Weiner Audrey Niemeth Helen Simonavice LaVerne Tobin orin MOTHERS' CLUB V MRS.

Because of the mud track and exceptionally damp weather, the team acquired very little practice. In spite of these handicaps, Bayless made a fair showing by taking second place in the first meet of the season with Fair- view and Taylor. In this contest Kirby felt that the hurdles were higher than usual and proceeded to go through instead of over them. Immediately after this incident Rudder did the same thing. They were still picking cinders from each other's knees at the next meet. Since Miler Littie felt that the mile run was a bit strenuous, he dropped by the wayside to rest. But at a few chosen words from Coach Meyer, Littie went back into the race to take last place. ln the second meet of the season, Bayless tied with Ienninqs for third place. In the County Meet, Bayless breezed in to take fifth place. At the meet with Hancock and other schools, Bayless man- aged to take third place. As Kirby was laid up with a sprained ankle, Donaldson was running the hurdles for him. At the crack of the gun, Donaldson got away to a good start, perfectly un- aware of a small dog that so loyally followed him around the track. When the race was almost over, the dog suddenly crossed ingfront of Donaldson, making it necessary for Don to squash or detour. Donaldson went around the dog. It seemed that Don was qoin' to the dogs.

DUARD MEYER BASKETBALL v This year' the Bayless Bronchos won seven and lost two league games, losing only to Eureka and Fairview hy one and two points respectively. The contests were more exciting than ever because ot the closely matched tearns. The srnall difference between the points ot the winners and the losers, held the spectators, as well as the players, on edge throughout the whole thirty-two minutes ot playing periods. For the first time in several years Bayless placed in the Ferguson Tourna- ment, losing one and winning two games to take third. We had two men on the County All-Star Team, loe Chase, on the first team, and Sullentrup given honorable mention. Although the greatest loss ol rnen, through graduation, in the history ct the school will occur in May, there are adequate reserves to take their places.

Although the girls did not Win many games, they did enjoy playing and making the trips to other schools. Many of the girls who played on the team this year will graduate and leave vacancies to be filled by a fine group of Iunior and Sophomore aspirants. Virginia Mertz, '39 6 -4 ' AL SCHOOL LIFE AT BAYLESS V The school year 1938-39 is drawing to a close. There are many events and things that the Senior Class will like to remem- ber. There was the Freshman Party-a night when the Seniors entertained the newest group ot students in Bayless. Stunt Night -a night ot fun yet a very necessary night because the proceeds of this night went toward our Athletic Fund. The many volley and basketball games in which the members of our Senior Class worked to help bring honor to dear old Bayless. The generous gift of the Patrons' Association at Christmas time when the Association remembered that we were not too old or too sophisticated to enjoy a visit from Santa Claus. We like to think of Christmas at this time because of the very lovely and impres- sive program that was given. Then we had the Fresh-Soph Hop. These underclassmen are to be kindly remembered because ot the help they gave toward the Senior Year Book-coming next was the Iunior Frolic, the dance given by the Music Club and then the Junior-Senior Prom-a night we shall treasure as long as we remember Bayless. Then came the Picnic and our Graduation. All ended too soon. Four years ot work-sometimes, we worked and much of the time we played, yet in this period of time we did learn many worth while things, not only in books but in every day associa- tion with Mrs. Bascom, the members of the faculty and the mem- bers of the student body. After all our future careers will be one of association with many groups of people-our experiences will be gained over a much wider field yet we are grateful for the association and the experiences that we have acquired dur- ing our School Lite at Bayless.

The enthusiastic reception with which the play was received by the audience made the evening a thrilling one for the cast. The setting takes place in a house, next door to a private insane asylum, where Ebenezer Goodly, a professor of anatomy, resides with his wife, Mathilda, her sister, Alvina, Cissy, his ward, Marjorie and Minerva, his daughters. Richard, Marjorie's boy friend, persuades Ebenezer to attend an illegal prize light. When the police raid the fight Ebenezer and Richard barely escaping, are followed by a salesman-Iones. By posing as a bishop, Iones' ingenuity saves all of them from being arrested. Complicated events, ridiculous absurdities, mistaken identity, suspense and exciting incidents, are combined to make a hilarious play. The proceeds of the play will be used to finance the annual. --rf N 03- C119 7 ' tiff tsl 1 ll it nv A, r' rid ,-ing AU' THE CHRISTMAS PLAY V This year's Christmas program is to be a long remembered event at Bayless. The Iunior class presented a serious play, drarnatizing the beautiful Christmas story. The program was ideal in the fact that everyone helped to make it a success. The manual training boys furnished the scenery, the home economic girls made the costumes and the Iunior class did the acting. The stage was decorated by a rustic inn and the legendary stable. Pine trees added the touch. Silver stars and soft blue lights made the night seem holy and mystic. The singing of the glee clubs and dramatization made the Christmas story seem more effective than any sermon could have done and sent us all home with the Christmas spirit of the cheerful giver. LaVeme Tobin, '39 VALENTINE DANCE v Red dancing hearts welcomed the student body and faculty to the Valentine party by the Iunior class, February 14. The Pobis orchestra furnished the music for dancing. Because each student was permitted to bring two guests, the attendance was considerably larger than usual adding also to the receipts which are helping to publish this book. In addition to the rnerrirnent were the refreshments which consisted of hot-dogs, soda, and cake. Too soon did eleven-thirty come, the time for all Bayless- onians to be tucked in bed. Mae Spindler, '39 .,.,, -1: f- .Y,.- . REVENGE v I'm going to shoot that Baron Von Mecklen right out of the sky one of these days, spat Barry as he dug his heel into the dirt of the little French flying-field. He stood there beside his trim, new little Spad that had iust come up from Paris. His old ship had been crashed the day before in No-Man's-Land, and to Barry, this new ship with its HispanoSuiza engine roaring, sounded like a kitten. ' How beautiful this plane was. It was so different from his old crate. No holes from the enemy's Spandau slugs, no rips or gashes from their anti- air-craft guns. The mechanic stepped back from the plane after he had painted on all insignia. He was surprised at the new insignia that Barry had ordered him to put on. It was the face of a clock, on which the hands were at six A. M. ' Shore, Mister Barry, and it's a beautiful day to be flyin' such a beautiful new ship in, ain't it. Barry didn't answer, he just stood there, rolling his cigarette on his lips until he finally snapped it down and ground it into the dirt with his heel. Yeah, it's a nice day for a murder. Well, it's 5:30, I guess I'll shove off soon. If I don't kill Von Mecklen first, he'll get me, but at least I'm going to be able to put up more of a fight than my kid brother, Philip did, yesterday. That vulture Von Mecklen knew darned well he was a greenhorn, and he chose to shoot him down first-then get away from me. I'm going to avenge my brother's death this very day. I'll meet Von Mecklen right over the front lines at six o'clock sharp. He answered my message and agreed to meet me at six. Thus, with fury in his heart, Barry lifted the trim little ship off the ground. Boy, this new crate handles nice-plenty of power-I'll need it. Guns-O. K., fuel, oil, everything fine. All-right Baron, here I come, ready or not. Soon, the white puffs below and ahead ot him told him he was approach- ing the trenches. Looking about the sky he spied Von Mecklen,-all alone. Honorable fellow after all Eh? They each gave a warming burst on their guns and then began a fight that shook the very clouds. After each man had used every trick he knew, both in offense and in defense, Barry's Vicker's lead found the Baron's heart and sent him and his ship down in a spin on the allied side of the lines. He landed beside the crash, a smouldering, steaming heap and extri- cated the body of Von Mecklen. Gosh, thought Barry, He's young yet, at least five years my junior I'll bet. I'll examine his papers. Let's see, it says here, 'First Lieutenant, German Flying Corps,' I guess I'll keep his medals for souvenirs. Hmmm, what's this? Pictures? 'Wonder who this old lady is? I'll look on the back.-It says-'Mutter'-Oh! God! His mother. She'll miss him. He's dead,-I've killed him. Here's another picture, a picture of a sweet little baby, 'Adolph Mecklen,' it says,-His baby picture perhaps. Barry was beginning to mumble to himself. He opened a locket on a chain round Mecklen's neck,-it contained a wedding picture,- Unserer Frohlicher Tag, it said beside it. Our Happy Day. Probably this young woman was his wife, and worst of all, Adolph Mecklen was his baby son. The next day, Barry flew over the German lines to Mecklen's home field, and dropped all his belongings inside his helmet and goggles on a small parachute. WARS-WHY? They make us kill people whom we might have otherwise taken into our homes and loved. Gerhard Lubbes, '41 PRIDE'S FALL v But, Mother, you know I never could decide for myself. Please tell me what to dol Well, it's time that you began, Lucy: you're seventeen years old and growing into quite a young lady. You know that I can't make your decisions for you all the rest of your life. As this conversation ensued between mother and daughter, the party at the end of the dangling telephone line in Lucy's hand became exasperated at the lengthy pause for a distinctly masculine voice could be heard raised in question. For Heaven's sake, Lucy, how long does it take you to make up your mind to go out with a fellow? With a troubled expression, the slim, petulant girl took her hand from the mouthpiece which he had covered' to check the flow of mother-daughter conversation from being heard over the young man's line. Well, still hesi- tatingly, I suppose I could make it for Sunday afternoon. Gee, that's swell. l'll be there about two o'clock, Snookie? Well, of all the-say, l'll have you know my name is Lucy and definitely not 'Snookie', expostulated the now thoroughly aroused recipient of the endearment. Now don't get mad, Lucy, was softly returned with particular emphasis on the last word. Then before the girl could reply, I'll see you at two, Sunday. Lucy's ovim slammed down with a bang. Mrs. Phillips couldn't understand it. Her daughter, so intelligent and of such high ranking in school, simply couldn't decide for herself, even in the most trivial of matters. She soothed the ruffled feelings of the troubled adolescent, attempting to encourage her at the same time with, Now Lucy, you'll no doubt have a very good time with him-he was probably only teasing you. Anyhow your Aung Margaret seems to think him a remarkable specimen of young man- hoo . Aunt Margaret! lt's for her particularly that l'm going out with him. The sweet old match-maker has her heart set on seeing us together. What she sees in him is beyond me. And so the conversation trailed long into the evening. Naturally, when big sister came home, the whole story had to be poured out, though it was received by a rather unsyrnpathetic ear. You're just too choosey, Lucy, she said. To listen to you, a person would think you were the Queen of Sheba, and furthermore- But, Sis-, interposed Lucy. Oh, turn over and go to sleep. You've made the date now and you have to go through with it,-goodnight, and big sister drowsed off to sleep, leaving Lucy to struggle with her problems, alone in the dark. Sunday morning dawned-or could it be called dawn, for sheets of rain hid practically every ray of light that attempted to squeeze through its heavy curtain. Lucy's head ducked under the covers in an effort to hide the melancholy sight from view. This was almost too much-piling depressing situation on depressing situation. First, she had a date with Richard, then, this drench- ing rain,-and I-IE didn't have a carl Moaning inwardly, she climbed out of bed. Say, Mother, she called, couldn't I possibly get in touch with him and break that date? Look how hard it is raining, and anyhow, I have a piece of a cold coming on, -this last with a rather forced cough. The increasingly exasperated Mother none too gently informed little daughter that in the first place, she had no way of getting in touch with him for he had no phone, and secondly, it was time she was learning to be a little more considerate of others than herself. A grumbling Lucy dressed and went to Church with her Mother and Father. Still grumbling, she helped her Mother prepare dinner, always with one eye on the clock. The minutes ticked by so fast! Having eaten dinner and washed the dishes, Lucy moped into her room to dress for her two o'clock date. With frequent promptings from Mrs. Phillips conceming the time, our fine young lady was dressed and waiting at five minutes to two. By fidgeting with the radio, tinkling on the piano, reading a few lines in a book or newspaper, and watching the clock, Lucy whiled away twenty minutes. My gosh, can't he even get here on time? expostulated our acme of femininity. l'll wait for twenty-five minutes, then I'm going out with the girls. They asked me to go to the show with them. After twenty-five minutes more of restless wandering about the house, a very flustered Lucy set off for her girl-friend's home. When big sister came home, she woke our little dater for the express pur- pose of finding out the details of the date. Well, how did it go? she wanted to know. Simply superb, wryly returned little sister. It didn't go! What happened? Did he stand you up? fairly squealed the elder girl. Um-hum, was dejectedly murmured from the depths of a downy pillow. Convulsed with laughter, big sister managed to send one last dig home, I suppose he decided that after all he didn't want to go with you any more than you wanted to go with him-or didn't you, really? She was answered with a pillow, slammed furiously down on her head. f Lorain Tucci, '40 FIVE AND TEN V Crowds that iam around and iostle, some with frowns and some with smiles, Shabby clothes and tired faces mixing in with Wealth and styles, Phonograph that never ceases playing songs and latest hits Now and then, the crash of dishes, breaking into tiny bits. Soda fountains always busy, girls with aprons clean and white, Sewing drinks and fancy ices, filling kiddies with delight, Lunches served on marble counters, tired women drinking tea Children looking for their mothers crying and sobbing bitterly. Busy people looking over countless things upon display Counting change and asking prices, handing over dimes in pay. Candy, popcorn, roasted peanuts, good to smell and good to eat Constant sound of people talking with the tramp of many feet. Bargain counters at every corner, prices that are always low Steady stream of human beings moving and passing to and fro. This is life the way you'll find it, in the huge and mighty den Loved by many men and women - called the good old Five and Ten. Dolores Schellhase MUSIC FESTIVAL v For the first time the Bayless School took part in the annual school festival held in the schools of St. Louis County. The High School groups went to Riverview Gardens High- the boys' and girls' glee clubs as well as the mixed chorus took part. A number of Bayless people took part in the Band Concert. The grade school group went to Hancock High-over one hundred students participated in the chorus groups. We were extremely proud, too, of the boys and girls who played in the band. We feel that the experience was valuable. Next year we hope to bring either the grade or high school festival to Bayless. vw vv, ' f.. A I I N Qtr it QU? .mx 4 134 3.
