Bayless High School St, Louis County, Missouri + ++ Qoireiuuord June, 1944-and for some of us there draws to a close another phase in our young lives. Life at Bayless-endless classrooms and unending classes, stunt nights, athletic events, club activities, study halls, social and recreational pur- suits, all become crystallized in memory. To Catch our life as it Was, the Oracle again comes forward to serve as a con- stant reminder of the knowledge, the character, the fun, the work which we have done as students at Bayless. Yeats hence, may this annual serve to recapture for us the youthful ideal- ism, the youthful ambitions, the youth- ful obligations we now have so that our America and the whole world will be- come a better place for our having lived in it.

This vision was sown by a man who commanded three tiny ships to set foot on virgin soil, nurtured by the hardy band of Pilgrims, tested by pioneers crossing the Alleghanies, tempered at Valley Forge and Gettysburg, renewed by hardy frontiersmen envisioning a united continent stretching from the Palisades of the Hudson to the rolling, fertile plains of California, extending through to the present time where we find a nation, united in purpose and determined in victory, and reaching far into the future. This is the tradition and heritage of America which must be kept alive, which must be passed on to generations yet unborn. That heritage of freedom and initiative is too precious a heritage to diminish or to die. And we, the Senior Class of Bayless High School, representatives of young America on whose shoulders the future course of our country lies, see a vision, based on that heritage, for the future. We see a determined faith in the future of our country--the future of a people steeped in the traditions of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, justice, and freedom for all men. In that future we see a nation, strong and mighty-a nation in which every individual has the right to develop socially, economically, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually to the utmost limits of his abilities-a nation where every man, regardless of race, creed, or color is welcomed as equals in the universal brotherhood of man-a nation where every individual is free to worship or not to worship God as he so desires-a nation where the individual counts and where he is accorded the dignity, integrity, and worth to which every human being is entitled to. ,X t- r LT , fwa . 'i' ,, A ,Wt Q -I I ee ee a aglaaaa W CDedication We treasure the heritage and traditions of the past, salute the indomitable American spirit in the present, and envision a better and safer America for all free peoples in the future. Fully conscious of these facts, we reverently and re- spectfully dedicate this edition of the Oracle to-+ OUR AMERICA. 1 1, .- -.'. V gg 'L' BEAUTIFUL AMERICA Su H 81 America is a land of many beautiful homes. We cannot measure the best things in life with a yard stick nor weigh them on a pair of scales. The greatest scientist is unable to determine how much is added to human happiness by the perfume of a rose, the beauty of a sunset, or the glory of the stars. Poets, painters and orators find it equally difficult to portray the meaning of home. It is in the thousands of American homes that the young men and women of today receive their social inheritance, material possessions, individuality, culture and civilization, and as the thousands of young men and women come from the American homes to be educated in the high schools of today, it is on this foundation that admin- istors and teachers build. Schools and home-admin- istrators, teachers and parents all Work for the com- mon good of the youth of our land. Truly the ad- ministration section in our year book can best be represented by a picture of the American home. Uri ix qs.. , 'A 525 tm :ws vp 'fi I 0 rf .

Twenty-five years ago, the nation was trying to adjust itself once again to living in peace after several years of war. In Saint Louis County, houses were beginning to jot out here and there on the landscape. The Bayless school district was beginning to grow and expand. School children and more school children began crowding into the classrooms. .As the children came to school that Septeniber morning in 1918, a new teacher was there to greet the upper grades, Mrs. Violet C. Bascom. Twenty-five years later, chil- dren of those children of 1918 came to school in 1945 and greeted the same teacher. a little wiser, a little more experienced, a little bit older perhaps, but found that same intense love of children, the same devotion to the democratic principles of education, the same intreiiched loyalty, and the same devotion to duty that their parents had found years earlier. In those twenty-live years, the Bayless schools have grown and their entire growth may be studied and reflected in the educational career of the present Superintendent, Mrs. Bascom, who this year rounds out twenty-five years of active educational service to the district. As Bayless grew, so did Mrs. Bascom. In 1923 she was made principal. In 1928 a high school was established and Mrs. Bascom was made Superintendent. ln 1952 a high school building was erected and there you can H-nd her today in her ollice working constantly with the School Board, the faculty, and the educationally minded people of the district, counseling with the students. straightening out their problems, and helping them over their educational hurdles day in and day out. ., 4 3 i5''HZff253?'5EfE3!':5'33?2lff -.' i:::::2-:gE2E1:I,:3gr'C1' . -gag. 555::'E:5::E:Zi7 Z' it-. . vfffifiiiiiij rs- a3:5f55gn.,15g -:a:::5:q-gag.

VIOLET BASCOM In recognition of her many years of loyal devotion to the cause of education in the Bayless District, a testimonial dinner was held. The dinner was sponsored by the Mothers' and Patrons' Clubs of the Bayless School. Earlier in the season Mrs. Bascom was honored by the Board of Education, and members of the faculty and friends. In recognition of the outstanding record and devotion to the school children of the Bayless District, we, the Senior Class of 1944, congratulate Mrs. Bascom on her twenty- five years with Bayless, and wish her health, happiness and contentment the rest of her days. We acknowledge with gratitude the deep debt we owe her by her keen devotion to duty and the tremendous task she has done in our behalf. 1, 19-4 zz 311 5' Tribute To Our Ftztcrulty The Senior class wishes to express its sincere gratitude to the faculty of Bayless High School. Words are inadequate to convey to you our apprecia- tion for the many courtesies and untiring efforts expended in our behalf. You, who have strived to guide our stumbling feet along life's way, Give us eyes to see the path by night and day, Helped us to build from out of the quickening sands, A firm foundation on which our future stands, Sympathy, advice, and sometimes retribution too, Moulding our character, aiding our ability to do The task which lies ahead. All are freely given. We take with us, now that our day's begun, A part of you and as we face the rising sun Armed as we are with little knowledge and more youthful hope Weire confident that with Life's Battles we can surely cope, To you we owe a debt of gratitude and say Thanks for all you have done for us in every way.

A miracle of rnan's desire To match his strength against the gods While over-soaring awesome odds To win his freedom from the clods. The plane seemed like a living thing With motored heart and metal wing, With instruments of true devise To serve as nerves and ears and eyes. We might have thought, had we not known, That by some inner power alone This rnan-made eagle could have flown. But there's a brain behind the hand That guides the plane above the landg A Pilot-Soul behind the brain That drives the plane through the doath and Spin To some far-visioned splendid goal. Four things that make the perfect whole . . . Plane, hand and brain . . . and Pilot-Soul. The hand is Hesh . . . and flesh is frailg The throbbing motored heart might failg The plane might falter down the skyg The anguished human brain might dieg But this we know . . . we dare not doubt . . With one triumphant deathless shout The valiant pilot-soul bails out. T E1 n 9Vlemo1riam LIEUTENANT WILBUR KLEINECKE Who gave his life in the battle of Africa, March 1943. Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put our to sea, But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embarkg For though from our our bourne of time and place The Hood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar.

Seniors l RAYMOND GEHL Ray was elected president of the Senior group by popular vote This facetious fellow is an expert on the drums, and as we all know, the band will certainly miss him after this year. But what we don't know is why Ray is so interested in trains. His eternal supply of technical questions is a source of ,con- stant amusement and we're still waiting for him to pop the 64 dollar question! ' GLORIA PALUBIAK Glo, Secretary of our Senior Class, with her gay person- ality, sparkling brown eyes, infectious laughter, and her ever- lasting pep, is competition for Ho1lywood's Peggy Ryan. Although Glo's favorite sport is ice skating, she's a fiend for all outdoor sports and lots of fresh air. The Glo-Don combination still goes, although Don's now sporting Navy Blue. Her ever growing ambition is to be an artist. Let's win it, Glo! e R4-w 'Ne I' 'EJ I M WW. i jg fy QW i.-, P' ff 1' W My - 5 WW is CHARLIE HOWE One of Charlie's most outstanding features is his deep bass voice. He is known as the bashful boy of the Senior Class. Charlie is a very valuable member of our baseball team, as he is first baseman. He has been in the Boy's Glee Club for four years, and a member of the cast of the jr. Sr. play for the last two years. His bashfulness doesn't hold him back from having fun, he's at almost every get together. EVELYN STALLARD Ev is by far the most athletic girl of our class. She is vim, vigor, and vitality combined. Who cloesn't take notice when Ev whizzes by in her little blue coupe? Her popularity was shown when she was chosen as the 1941-42 Basketball Queen. Inciclentally, she's another whose third linger left hand is no longer bare. Lots of luck, 4451 Bits .4 vx I - x -' X Q !

He excells in all his studies, particularly in physics. Don has lead in the jr.-Sr. Play for two years, and did a very excellent job of it. Besides being an active member in .the Dramatic Club, Don is a member of the Boys' Glee Club and Mixed Chorus in which he sings bass. ETHEL LENK Beauty can be easily seen but it is proved in Ethel by her beauty mark. A dark olive skin combined with golden hair and deep blue eyes are seldom seen, but all are a part of Ethel. We have come to the conclusion that her outside interest must be cenrerd on a particular Navy man. CAre we right, Ethel?J with her knowledge of commercial work, we know Ethel will have good luck in the future. QQ!-f , H+ 5.

Jerry has a peculiar way to abuse the English language that catches a laugh from everyone. Gerald lettered in track last year and we hope he gets another this year. jerry is an excellent singer and is an important bass in the Glee Club. Gerald also has dramatic ability, and is another of those Senior fellas that took part in the jr.-Sr. play two years in succession. Aux 'ar J v l MARIE DOBRICH One of the assets of Marie being a drum-majorette is that the short skirt reveals a pair of lovely legs. We're sure that a certain Bayless alumnus, now in the Navy, agrees. Marie's vocal talent, together with her swell personality, makes us wonder if Marie might not go places rheatrically. We shall never forget the harmony Marie sang in the ar- rangement of For Me and My Gal on Music Night. 4-+51 K+' M ..,,, i W 'A MMM 0, . igpl, 17 WW Seniors JC lw'w W . 1 -. . if 3 Mill rf , .

He has been one of the main members of the High School Band for many years. And, of course, we must mention that our feet just have to dance when Ray be- gins to play his versions of the Boogie Woogie on the piano. Ray is one of the most well liked boys of his class. -IUANITA SMITH Smitty is known to be tiny but mighty because of her volleyball playing and peppy cheer leading. She has a pleasant wit and a silly giggle that makes her popular at any gathering. When you see an over-crowded '39 Chevrolet zooming by, you'll always know Smitty's driving the gang around again. Besides being very active, this pretty Miss has easy going ways that are envied by all.

His favorite pastime is keeping the Senior girls supplied with typing paper, Or is it? Outside school you can always be sure to see Jim madly dashing hither and yon in his little truck. Jim's reputation for being one of the best-liked fellas in the class is well deserved. Joe is the tall handsome blonde with the big blue eyes. His friendly manner has won him many friends here at Bay- less. When a bulging car passes at full speed you can al- ways depend on it being joe, driving his classmates to school. He seems to have gone in for the Share a Ride campaign in a big way. But then again he may like the life of a taxi driver. At any rate, we know you'll go far in the world, joe. -H2 ++ v y . 'QU 1 I.

He made a hit with the young ladies at Bayless too, as was revealed when the re- tiring basketball queen chose joe to escort her at the coronation. 3 , ga my' LUCILLE BALDWIN Everybody agrees that Lu has always been one of the most well-liked girls through her years at Bayless. Her tal- ents are not only confined to Drama, but she also helps to hold up the Glee Club alto section. Lu's ability as a drum majorette has been heightened by her radiant smile and long dark hair.

This lad is an active mem- ber of the Math Club. DOROTHY MCCANN This captivating colleen came to Bayless in her Sophomore year and is better known as Mac. Her green eyes and black hair make her a real Irish beauty. We'd like to know why she suddenly decided to let her fingernails grow. We think it's because she wants her hands to look extra pretty when she begins to sport that diamond. But, of course, keep this on the Q. T. Dottie's prize possession is a pair of gold wings she received from her Ensign. +25 H+ O ++!i l-'I+' 4 l Seniors ANGELA ERESH This attractive Baylessite is a pal to all of us. Amgen is envied by many of her classmates because of her charming manner and pleasant smile. lf being late would give us top honors, Amgen would win a scholarship with no effort what- soever. Ange's refreshing humor can be heard echoing through the halls from Monday to Friday. What could be her secret? SHIRLEY KOCH We'll never forget the positions Shirley had to get into when she was taking candid pictures of the Senior Class at their picnic. Anyone peeking in through the keyhole of the gym door could always see Shirley whizzing around the volleyball court on practice nights. It seems that this maiden has the odd hobby of collecting diamond rings which she wears daily. Bayless will miss you and your refreshing laughter, Shirley. 'ffl 93+- .

LOVELLA WILSDORF One would scarcely recognize Lovella unless she was ac- companied by Marce. These two have been inseparable since their Freshman year. Lovella's hair is truly her crowning glory.

And, of course we all know who shares the front seat with him. Numbered among Abie's many assets are a good physique, a pleasing person- ality, and dark wavy hair that is envied by all. We're sure the baseball team of Bayless will miss this lad after graduation. Is there any doubt that this blonde Senior lass has dra- matic ability? She has displayed her talents as a vampire in our Stunt Nightg as the inebriate in You Can't Take It With Young and you don't know what you're missing by not witnessing the uproar she causes in Speech Class with her impersonations! How about that, Stoodants ? Marcella shows potentialities in Art, too, which proves het ability is unlimited. Carry on, Marce maybe we'll be seeing you on Broadway. 'O 'lil H+' B J H+ l . ,Seniors E JACK LEAcH The most unusual twosome at school is tall jack and tiny Kissel. This tall handsome lad was an added asset to our basketball team this year. Besides being the athletic type, jack is an active member of the Boys' Glee Club and Mixed Chorus, in which he sings baritone. Jack, with his friendly manner and easy going ways, well deserves the title of il regular fellow. GLORIA KESSELRING Kissel is the cute little maiden of the incessant chatter. Her interests are centered around Basketball since she began daring a member of the team. Although some of us are still wondering why Kissel had her long hair cut off, we all agree that her Baby Bob adds to her charm. Kissel is an outstanding seamstress as we can plainly see by the attractive clothes she wears, 0+ mf' 4 f N J L ' 7!! 'jj' , ms!!! EA, . sir i Y' ,. 1 I -,gi . ,.

Besides having dramatic ability, Bill is an active member of the Mixed Chorus and Boys' Glee Club, and excells in most of his studies. Bill is the envy of his classmates when he drives up in front of school every morning in his little Ford coupe. JACKIE DRIER The big words, the upsweep, and a dramatic personality are all a part of Jackson The Senior class was going to buy her an alarm clock, but they decided that it lends variety to the day, when jackson comes strolling in on bankers' hours. But what we really want to know is, where did she pick up that Brooklyn accent? Maybe she's just keeping up the morale of a certain Corporal! it at may H W- R!!! Si nl mia , s F ms.

'Cause Herb's always laughing about one thing or another. He's also one of our basketball stars that keeps the crowd cheering. I-Ierbie's in his glory when he's allowed to use his Pop's car for a big date. This lad also takes part in the Boy's Glee Club and Mixed Chorus. Your winning ways will take you far-so don't ever change them, Herbie! LILLIAN BOESE Lively fun-making and intelligence are seldom combined, but both are splendidly displayed in Mutz. She proved this to us by winning top honors in an American Legion Oratorical Contest. Mutz also possesses outstanding ability in the line of sports and dramatics. But don't let those dainty features fool you, because Mutz adds to the fun of any party. ,0 . Az , + r ,V , s i Seniors an if is H is H nn.

This was proven when he was chosen to be the President of the Math Club in his Senior year. Bernard's main ambition is to be a sailor. Woe be to him who is so foolish as to belittle the Navy in his presence! Yes, everyone agrees that he is a friendly fellow with a pleasing personality. RUTH STUCKMEYER Ruthie's grades are excelled by no one. The sweetness towards her classmates has made her one of the most well- liked Seniors. She is remarkable in all athletics. And most of all she is a very pretty lass. Everyone agrees that Ruthie well deserves the title of an all around girl. At times we think these abilities run in the family. Ruthie we wish you all th ' ' , e success in life. 954+- Rh- BETTY HAYNES ' .Qi K F fag I 'T T, ph. if J j X'-'I' me 1 ijJVV xl I Q 9' V ff xiii-4xfhAMUAH.K ty, ,y Seniors ,- I-gs -.I . in ' -el a lun!!! .

But Mazy is excellent proof that it can be done. King of the school, title. Vince is the the basketball team. What has Bets got that we haven't that she always rates sitting in the office? It could be her fatal charm and then again it could be trouble that just seems to follow Betty around. For live years, now, this versatile Senior has added attractiveness to our parades by strutting in lead of the band. It's no wonder she has captivated the heart of a certain sailor-with a bee-utiful convertible! -4-+24 H++ QW Seniors , E++- un .6252 X rf LJ ,ol Meters or ALLEN PATRICK This lad is another who is well-liked by his classmates. Although Allen won't admit it, we know he's interested in a certain freshie girl. Every morning he can be seen hurrying the Senior girls out of the Chemistry Lab. Allen is an active member of the Industrial Arts Club. We wish you lots of luck, Allen, in whatever career you choose. RALPH BLANKENSHIP Will Ralphie ever surprise the student body and be on time for school? This short, blonde fellow has been known for his fun-making throughout his years at Bayless. Although he admires the feminine part of the student body, Ralph doesn't play favoritesg he likes 'em all. He also participates in the Musical activities at Bayless. gi Kw- r TT ' . ef.

Our sympathies are with him, though, when he is being teased by the boys about his girlish giggle. We hope Russ and his buddy don't get writer's cramp from writing love notes to the underclassmen. Be- sides letter writing Russell's school activities include base' ball, Glee Club, Mixed Chorus, and Music Appreciation Club. SHIRLEY HEINZER Shirl, did you swallow a dictionary or did you always know the definition to those enormous words? This vivacious lassie, with her magnetic personality, has provided wit for all of us throughout her years at Bayless. The Basketball fans don't mind cheering when such an attractive Miss as Shirl gets up to lead them. And we know Shirl will reach her goal in the held of dramatics. ++2q K+: M21 'Cf i -+152 I5++' ,L-JJ- 1 Y it , WLEOTS as is I E Ea E 'NqXm,j'5.5,, ra is ml ada m .ab ' ' nl E nl E nl mis-'iii'-.

Bob seems to be interested in mathematics, too, because he joined the Math Club this year. Bob studies a lot, but he also knows that all work and no play would make him a dull boy. We know you'll go far, with that attitude, Bob. XVILBURN POPE l 'agii E sr sr as sam an as ss sr We at sr sr sm: Ewa na Life is one long and joyous holiday for Wil. He's al- ways out for a good time and usually gets it. Giggles and laughter can be heard coming from the Art Room whenever Pope is entertaining the class with his humorous imperson- ations. Wil's favorite pastime is sleeping during classes. He probably does it to provide laughs for the students when the teacher has to wake him up. Pope did a splendid per- formance Stunt Nightn in his imitation of Frank Sinatra. Yes, he's a natural born comedian. nga s saga mg an aa we gm: an sr I-H+ Q MM Smimfs ff' , icfyf WALTER BUSCI-I E Walter call me Curly, because of his hair, is one of the best girl killers in the school. Walter has been a great help to the baseball team in the past with his great work at short- stop. Curly has had many love affairs, but we think a sweet little girl from Webster has caught his heart. Wallie played first team volleyball and B team basketball in the past years. LORRAINE FENDLER Blondie's popularity won her the title of Basketball Queen of 1942-45, and she will always be remembered as a true friend to all of us. Will we ever forget her crazy driving in that red convertible she now possesses? We sometimes wonder where this Blonde beauty's interests really ate. Maybe you can tell us, Blondie She participates in the Alto section of the eighth hour Girls' Glee Club. -MH IH' -Q QS' +4 I '-'Iliff - ,Seniors I v i -s K ru l H NORMAN SCHICKER Norm's power of speech has intrigued the student body for the past four years. This dashing and debonair Senior took part in many sports, the main ones being volleyball, baseball, and basketball. Besides being an excellent speaker and good at most sports, Norm was an outstanding mem- ber of the Boys' Glee Club and Mixed Chorus. Yes, Norm was kept quite busy here at school. m ru we B VIRGINIA GRAVETTE Ginny could easily model for Vogue with all the lovely clothes she wears. Her charming personality has captivated the heart of one of our Senior lads. CNeed we mention names?J We are quite sure Ginny will go far in the Com- mercial line of work, but maybe she has plans for a more domestic life. Good luck, Ginny in whatever choice you make. EDWARD PHELAN This tall blonde with the big blues eyes seems to lead a double life. At times he's very, very quiet, and at other times he's the center of attraction in the halls between classes. We're still wondering whether Ed meant Yes or No when he answered, Are you kidding! when asked if he liked the girls. He is a member of the Industrial Arts Club. -442 0' iii more EE l l Mrs, llmt Hubbard We the class of '44, can express only feebly the high respect and deep appreciation we feel for our sponsor, Mrs. Hubbard. Her helpful influ- ence has been enjoyed throughout the school and beyond the school into the community. And we know that every senior who has graduated from Bayless remembers her with respect and affection. Under her direction, the members of the Glee Clubs and Mixed Chorus have enjoyed participating in the many musical activities given in our school auditorium. To every ripple of melody, to every billow of harmony, Mrs. Hubbard has enabled us to feel some eddying of the past, the present and the future. Often, with a new song's measure she has allayed a secret sadness. There is more harmony in Mrs. Hubbarcl's life than one can hear. Her quiet and sincere counsel has been restful, inspiring, and encouraging. Faculty membes and students alike have felt the touch of her exuberant spirit. What she has given us is transforming itself into beauty for the future. 332 - EE Q -4+ Can You l mnzgzine Gloria Kesselring not with jack? Ray Gehl not talking about trains? Bob Huber without a car?

The interests of the Music Appreciation Club this year have centered around the consuming of music. This has been done partially by discussing prominent composers but mainly by listening to recordings of various types of music. We have heard composers ranging from Gershwin to Bachg we have heard from harmonica playing to symphonic works. Our first meeting was held on October 12, 1945 at which the officers were elected. 1:21 , , : aa ' V , , ff :is -Sai: :al H r Girls?

The officers of the morning class are: president, Jessie Antonichg vice president, Mary jane Stephensg treasurer, Georgia Birknerg secretary, Theresa Vonder Haar. President Geraldine Moss, Vice President Marceline Lillicrap, treasurer Lorraine Fencller, and Secretary Gloria Kesselring are the officers of the afternoon class. Both groups are accompanied by Wilma Pollard, with the assistance of Ruth Gehl and Doris Erbe. The Glee Club has participated in numerous activities this year. Our first appear- ance last fall was on the occasion of the presentation of colors to the Bayless School at which we sang the Green Cathedral and together with the boys the Hallejuah Chorus from the Messiah.

' Cultivating an appreciation of various hobbies and interests is the sole object of the Hobby Club, which is composed of nine hobbyists. At the meetings different hobbies discussed include stamps, fish, railroads, coins, ballistics, pictures of ships, model building, rats, and photography. Each month the Hobby Club is interested in reading Hobby Magazine. The club has also tried to stimulate interest in the hobbies of other students. The principal activity planned for the year is a Hobby Show to be given late in the Spring. a 'S ADOLPH FRIEDECK Prexizfent JOSEPH GUTJAHR Vice-Pr'e.rizl e 111 MILTON LEH ART S er rerzzr'-1-T1'e11J1n'er n ,-xiii, gina. - The Wntlltutsttintl Q-Arts Qlwb The Industrial Arts Club was organized at the beginning of the school year to give to its members knowledge of the skills of the past and their relationship to those of the present day.

Trerzmrer The Dramatic Club of 1943-44 was organized at the beginning of the year under the spon- sorship of Mrs. Elmore. The purpose of the club was to select a Junior-Senior play and to attend at least one performance at the American Theatre. The lirst three meetings were devoted to reading plays for the selection of the junior-Senior play. Several were read- The Little Foxes , You Cau't Take It With You , Heaven Can Wait and George Washington Slept Here - You Can't Take It With You, being chosen. The rest of the year was spent casting and working on the play for production in early spring. The players and production staff for the most part were chosen from the Dramatic Club. A complete account of the junior-Senior Play will be found elsewhere in this book. A small fee is collected at each meeting to pay for the cost of going to see a production at the American Theatre. It is always a thrill for those interested in Dramatics to attend a legiti' mate stage play with famous stars. However this year, we were disappointed because Eva Le- Galinene, who we expected to see in Uncle Harry, was billed for Cherry Orchard on Broadway and was unable to come to St. Louis. But before the season is over we hope to see at last one ia Elia aaa legitimate performance besides the one we give ourselves.

Our Majorettes We need no introduction to Betty Haynes, Marie Dobrich, and Lucille Baldwin, our three majorettes, who add quite a bit of color to the High School Band. The credit reflects on Betty, who four years ago thought it would be not a new, but an added attraction to the Band. This idea was put into reality and two years later as the Band advanced, two more well chosen girls, Marie and Lucille, joined Betty in sl1aring',the honor of being the schoo1's majorettes. We regret to see these girls leave, but as all who have seen them perform know how well the tradition of Bayless has been upheld. We wish you luck in all your undertakings and may you, Betty, Marie, and Lucille, remain as proud through the years as you were on the day of your first parade. This Year and The Band This year, as in the past, the band had a season lilled with numerous appearances at parades. music festivals, basketball games and stage presentations. The band's iirst appearance was on October 9, when the Affton-Gardenville American Legion post presented colors to Bayless School. On November ll, the band played once more in the annual Armistice Day Parade, and in the evening of the same day took part in a program at Hancock High School which also featured movies and a talk on japan. Witlm December 7, came the annual crowning of the basketball queen, the band playing various numbers before the coronation and also during the Coronation exercises. january l-1, the band played between the quarters of the Bayless-Valley Park basketball game, Our annual mid-winter concert was presented on February 9. An interesting program of marches, overtures, and novelty numbers by the band, and solo and group numbers by the var- ious members of the band was given. Various members of the band participated in the All County Symphonic Band on March 7, which appeared at Hotel jelferson as part of the program of the Music Educators National Convention, April 27 arrived, with the band playing in the County Music Festival, held yearly at the University City High School. Another season for the band was concluded as the band once more led the Bayless School parade on our annual Picnic Day. For the seven high school graduates in the band meant the last day of participation in the band: while for younger members, it ended their hrsr year with the musical organization. IVAN MCREYNOLDS P resizl em CHARLES LeBAUBE Vice-Pruridenr .IOANN STEXVART Seffelary The Junior Senior Play You Can't Take It With You, another Pulitzer prize winner, is well on its way toward production the middle of April. Pet snakes'rear in their solarium, kittens gambol over the keys of the moving typewriter, fireworks explode merrily in the cellar. It is just another happy day at home for the Sycamores. Thirty-five years ago, Grandpa Vanderhof, leaving his comfortable little house somewhere up near Grant's Tomb, decided that there was less sense in trying to get richer than in enjoying the riches already earned, so he turned back from the office, went home to Claremont Avenue and settled down to catching snakes and attending college commencement exercises. Grandpa's son-in-law, Paul, took readily to the idea of enjoying life and retired to the cellar where Mr. De Pinna, the iceman, had lately joined him to help in the manu- facture of explosives. One granddaughter, Essie, married Ed, a Brooklyn boy who played the piano and printed handbills when he wasn't selling the candy his wife made between her ballet practice periods. The other granddaughter, Alice, really enjoyed being a prosaic stenographer better than anything else, because she loved Tony Kirby, the son of her employer. When Tony brings his bankerish Papa and socially-registered Mama to dinner at the Sycamores on the wrong night, enough drama ensues to bring down the second curtain to a stirring climax. But such is the inborn kindliness of the Sycamores, that the conventional ice of the Kirbys is finally thawed. We leave them united at a meal over which Gramp invokes his unconventional grace. Mister, says he, a good deal has happened, but everythings for the bestg and were all very grateful and happy. Grandpa speaks for his audience. The writer has had the pleasure of watching the members of the cast rehearse and has seen them develop the gay and congenial atmosphere the author intended in the play. The acting is worthy of the play. The students have done a wonderful job and deserve a great deal of praise. Congratulations in advance to Mrs. Elmore, the cast, and the production staff.

Fruitful and broad are the billowing plains our fathers left us Mossy and cool are the trails that we tread as they trod, Grand are the ranges and deep are the echoing canyons, Holy and pure are the peaks as the altars of God. 1 Qnr Coronation The evening of November 7, 1943, our basketball team played its hrst league game of the season on its home floor. At the intermission of the games our band, of which we are very proud, played Pomp and Circumstance. William Laut and Daniel O'Brien trumpeted the fanfare which was followed by the announcement of the occasion given by the herald, Miss Lillian Boese. Our retiring queen, Miss Lorraine Fendler, a Senior, escorted by Cloyce Kemp, gracefully seated herself on the throne to await the arrival of the new queen. Next came the maids of honor. The third maid of honor, the athletic Miss Jean Pinkerton, a Freshman, was escorted by Edward Radeticg Miss Dorothy McCann, the second maid of honor, made her entrance on the arm of Russell Zingrich,falso a Senior. The First and junior maid of honor, Miss Jessie Antonich, walked into the hushed auditorium with her escort, Ivan McReynolds. Finally the moment every one had been waiting for arrived. The new dark haired, dark eyed Queen, Miss Jo Ann Stewart, a Sophomore, made her appearance. The fair lady shyly but dra- matically entered upon the arm of her escort, Donald Leach. After the new Queen was crowned by the retiring Queen, she accepted her throne to reign over the 1945-44 basketball season. The entire school body joined in the singing of our Alma Mater. An elaborate Pole Dance of our school colors, green and gold, succeeded the Coronation in honor of her Highness. The ceremony, sponsored by Mrs. Meyer, merited congratulations. The coronation, which has become a tradition in Bayless, will always be a night remembered by all who were fortunate enough ro attend.

The record for the year doesn't reflect the true merits of the team for their actual power never quite seemed to come up to their potential power. Early in the season, Coach Bowers left for the Merchant Marines and Coach Beck was snatched from the history books to ill the gap. Under his guidance, the team started slowly but gradually picked up momentum to finish at a whirlwind pace. They copped the last four games and then lost to South Side Catholic in a hard fought game in the sub-regional tournament. Throughout the year, the squad was a constant threat to its competitors, iinishing up third in the County League. Vince Mazuranic, captain and all-county choice, led the spearhead in the offensive attack, Brosius, Deutsch, and LeBaube held up the defensive end, while Castelli, Reh, and Markus took care of the forward wall. Leach and Schicker also lent a helping hand till mid-season when Uncle Sam and the hospital combined to take them out of the line-up. Huber, in the early part of the season, and Klein, Buneta, and Williams in the latter half, were kept ready for emergncies. The B squad built up quite an enviable record until Castelli, LeBaube, and Markus were drafted for A competition. This left quite a gap but with Klein, who played a cool, steady game at guard, and Balzer, a newcomer to the ranks, leading the squad composed of Hale, Wil- liams, Leach, Buneta, Maurer, Weber, Schmitt, Presson, and Herman Doering, prospects look good for the coming year. The team records for the year show: In Intramural competition, the junior team took the championship laurels from a strong Senior squad. The Sophomore A team showed enough power to come in third. The basketball season was laid to rest for another year with the annual team dinner. CASTELLI, HUBER, MARCUS, REH, LE BAUBE, BROSIUS, DEUTSCH, SCHICKER, LEACH, MAZURANIC COACH BECK Second Volley Ball Team The second team made a good showing this year and had a successful season. The team won most of its games and the prospects are good for fl next year's team. The members of this year's team were: Ivan McRe-ynolds, joe Vahey, Bill Mc- Reynolds, Vincent Castelli, Willouglmby Williams, Charles Schnell, Paul Hale, Al Schroeck and Alvin Klein. 5 Ciliolley Bull Q14 Team This years volley ball team had a slow start this season due to the graduation of five first team men. The team dropped a first few engagements but pepped up later in the Ferguson Tournament and advanced to second round competition. The team is made up of a good many seniors this year, and again weaken next year's club. Those on the Hrst team were: Walter Busch, Herb Reh, Norm Schicker, Vincent Mazuranic, jack Leach, Ray Cordes and Ray Schallom, Captain. 'B If S- Gitrlsl 'iiollley Ball Team Coached by Mrs. Meyer, the Girls' Volley Ball Team scored several victories in their interscholastic games with Hancock and Mehlville High Schools. A loss will be felt in the fact that live of the eight members of the regular team will be graduating this year. The girls also participated in the tournament held at Ferguson but were unsuccessful in bringing back the trophy. MRS.

The suspense I feel when analyzing a clasp of the hand makes the blood at times thud in my veins as if the great I were going into battle. To remind you of a few types, I name the bonecrushers, the pumphandler, the frater, the relative, the snob, the jelly, and most common of all, the W.P.A. handshakers. Yes, the entire veneer of a man's soul may be split in the squeeze of a hand! The bonecrusher grip is characteristic of the athlete. I have a friend on a track team whose brother is a tackle on a football team. Bill, the track star, always greets me with a firm, cartilage snapping, hand benumbing grip, which I dread. I like Bill very much. We always have had good times together, but when it comes to saying hello or goodbye, I maintain a reservation. His muscular brother is no less ominous. On the other hand, no I mean with the same hand, I have another friend who presents the pump handle greeting, such as so often observed in our hearty rural friends. This handshake is accompanied by a vigorous up and down movement of the arm which increases the circulation for a time and without variation sends through my consciousness a hope my friend will someday strike oil. This exercise has a very terrifying effect when it is thrust upon one unanticipated. When I am aware of its coming, my arm stiffens and moves even before the other fellow grips it. The fraternal salutation is one which always stimulates curiosity. One of my fathers old friends, Mac Lucchesi, was a joiner of all fraternities or clubs that had any mystery connected with them. I think he knew more secret handshakes than Missouri has candidates for the Republican governorship. The first one he tried on me was the handshake with the first two fingers extended upon my wrist. No sooner had I sensed their position than they were withdrawn, for the counter sign was not given. Another time l noted his little finger was coiled in what must have been most painful agony. When that clasp received no response a side to side swaying was accompanied by a hopeful expression of countenance. The fraters are always searching for a fellow enthusiast. 'U If EN- 'SI iii' ' Y. W ' N S-f On the other hand the greeting of relatives is always a double geared affair. My Aunt Agnes always places her left hand caressingly on my right shoulder and grasps my right hand in hers. Her husband takes my better hand in both of his and agitares from a quiver into quakes. Such a variety of vibrations in close sequence not only threatens to dislodge me physically, but also reduces me to infantile inferiority. The snobbish, How do you do! must be received on tiptoe, with body pitched precariously forward. One of my mothers old friends, Frances Thornbill assumes her dignity by holding her five droopy fingers on the level of her teeth. I often reflect that probably this ritual had its orgin in placing oneself on the defensive. From this high plane we shall drop to the jelly like, Glad to meet cha of the friend with the boneless hands-not enough calcium. Here is relaxation in its simplest form. Such an appendage suggests the indivduality of a pan handler or a stumble bum. The W.P.A. handshake is common to the working man with long hours. I-Ie expects you to do all the shaking. Sort of the You shakeg l'm tired, effect. It is one of the most widely used handshakes in the whole United States. We receive it often in the South where the climate makes one especially opposed to work. I have often wondered what would happen if two W.P,A. handshakers ever shook hands with each other. In review have passed the varieties so familiar to us all. Our friends and acquaint- ances lend that proverbial spice so essential to our happiness. Let them come as they will, l like them. Howdy pal! Lets shake! AL SCHROECH, '-45. 4 . CALENDAR SEPTEMBER 7. Once more the doors of Bayless were flung open to its lads and lasses. Old friendships were renewed and new friends made.

Although we didn't win, both boys and girls did their best, and a good time was had by all. NOVEMBER 3. This was a big night for the Freshies. The Seniors gave them a Halloween Party. Everyone was dressed tacky-even to some of the girls wearing their Dads' long white shirts. NOVEMBER 12. Stunt Night, this year followed the usual trend of other Stunt Nights by being a huge success. The students showed off their various talents and the crowd really enjoyed it. NOVEMBER 18, 19, 20. During these three days We held our second Invitational Basketball Tournament. Although Brentwood took first place, we played hard and came in second. The gym was packed with spectators, who were all cheering eagerly for their team to win. NOVEMBER 25. This was the day we ate and ate and didn't worry about ration points. We had turkey with all the trimmings. And to top it off, we had two free days to rest. Whatta life! ! ! DECEMBER 7. With fan-fare and all, our new Basketball Queen, Joann Stuart, entered the auditorium to be greeted by a cheering crowd of Bayless students and supporters. DECEMBER 15. The Boys' Glee Club performed at the Job's Daughter's installation, and as always gave their best. Since it was nearing Christmas, one of the songs they sang was Wl1ite Christmas. DECEMBER 22. Four of our fellow students: Norman Shicker, Gloria Palubiak, Evelyn Stallard and Jack Leach gave a debate before the Kiwanas Club. The argu- ment was whether or not Santa Claus should be abolished. They provided many laughs and were rewarded with a wonderful dinner and Christmas gifts. DECEMBER 24. Our Christmas program was given in its usual spectacular way. School was then closed for our Christmas vacation. DECEMBER 27-30. Another tournament, but this time at Normandy. Everyone had a good time, but don't the Bayless students always have a good time! DECEMBER 50. Our talented Mixed Chorus performed at the Eastern Star Installation. JANUARY 10. Every Senior's broke. Why? The class rings arrived. Ain!t they neat! JANUARY 16. Wltat a day! The Seniors gave a picnic. It was a little cold, but that didn't bother those rugged Seniors. They were told to get pictures for the anuual and they got 'em. JANUARY 17. Ray Gehl gave an oration at Clayton. Ray is a good speaker and was a well chosen representative of the speech class. February 1. Doctor Lee came to visit our school to tell us about our new Missouri Constitution. A representative of the War Finance Department also talked to us about the Fourth War Loan drive in which we came out on top. FEBRUARY 2. Lillian Boese participated in the annual American Legion contest at Brentwood. The subject of the oration was Our Constitution , The Heritage of Past, and its Challenge in the Future. She won the Division Contest and went to the All-County contest at Clayton. f-i. FEBRUARY 9. Our Band gave another concert and it showed that our talented musicians are still as good as ever. All the music-lovers of the vicinity attended and it was a huge success. MARCH 10. Our own Vincent Mazuranic made the All-County Basketball Team. It was his red-letter-day, nice going, Mazy! MARCH 15. Mrs. Bascom honored the basketball squad with a fine chicken dinner at the Green Parrot. Did they eat! Thank you Mrs. Bascom. MARCH 18.

Now we have physical education outside. APRIL 13. Mrs. Bascom was honored with a banquet, to celebrate her 25th anni- versary at Bayless. Both young and old of the Bayless community attended this gala event. There were many excellent speakers, and Hon. John A. Witthaus was the ToasYmaster. A good time was had by all. APRIL 21-22. This year the annual Junior-Senior Play was, You Canit Take it With You. Under Mrs. Elmor's expert guidance, the students worked hard and the play was a great success. The auditorium was packed with many smiling faces. MAY 5. For the second straight year the Music Department under the leadership of Mrs. Hubbard gave its Music Night. We tried something new in singing the Ballad for America, in which we were honored to have Mr. S. Stuart as soloist. The songs were sung splendidly and we are sure the audience will never forget this night. MAY 19. Our Junior-Senior Prom. What a night! The evening ended all too soon, but we can look back on it as a grand evening of fun and laughter, JUNE 1. Students got their annuals andthe ink pens all had a good work out. JUNE 2. Commencement! It's hard to say anything about this night because we were both sad and happy. Everyone looked forward to this night, but when it finally came we were all a little downhearted. JUNE 4. Picnic day. The last time many of us would be together for quite a while, so we made the most of it and had a grand time.

NOTES ON THE AMERICAN INTELLECT Jackie Drier There is a little ditty That's going round our city Whiclm is slowly driving me to drink!!! Of all the half-witted lyrics That drive me into hysterics Mairzy-Doats rates first, I think. The Hit Parade votes it number one- 'Til I find the guy who made Mairzy-Doats up. Tell me No and keep my hopes up 'Til I find the guy who made Mairzy-Doats up. CREW CUTS Sbirfey Heinzer Sturdy stalwart Indian braves, Bronzed, clear eyes, brawny youth With close cropped heads, these dashing knaves Resemble Bayless boys, forsooth. It once was the fad for a high school lad To wear his hair long and unruly. Now this study hall loafer looks like a gopher Or even a Chinese coolie. Max is the shining example Of one of our crew cut guys, Pope and Russ have joined him And their hair is no more in their eyes. For in the barber shop it lies Mute witness of their Age, Let us hope the time will come When crew cuts aren't the rage. PITY THE DUCK HUNTER Al Sfbroerle The poor duck hunter in his blind Is chilled in front and wet behind It's seven hours since he fed And twenty since he went to bed. It cost him near a hundred bucks To hide himself from silly ducks Wliicli, present, ere day dawns dim Will fly and hide themselves from him. 1 3 EE c EE YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU - BUT YOU'D LIKE TO Wilma Pollard A printing press, A plaster mask, An easel and some paint, A cliscus, A dart game, And some snakes that almost make you faint. A meccano set, A skull ash tray, And fuzzy little kittens, These are a few properties for the play, We use about everything but mittens. A working girl, The bosses son, A dancer And a playwright, Three G-Men, Sly old Grandpa, And two servants who just ain't White. Two Russians who like Blitzes, And a printer who composes, A Wall Street broker His snippy wife And an actress who reposes, Two pyrotechnists, who make the cellar boom And a revenue collector who dashes out the room. These are the characters in You Can't Take It With You And I've given you the set.
