Page 12 text:

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.

o c .L 1 tl ,1 1 1 1 li QA Tribute to 914115. CBt1st:nm. 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.
