To many of these students, the realization of just what their high school has meant to them does not come until after gradu- ation has come and gone. Fat, far too many students fail to visualize how important the high schools of America are as an integral part of the community. The high school is one of the- basic institutions in the community and, as such, passes on the great heritage from the past with its customs, traditions, and folkways, and instills a vision of the future for its youthful citizens. It is with these thoughts in mind that we, the Senior Class of 1945, respectfully dedicate this Oracle to our Bayless School, its past history, and its role in the life of our community.

The second floor of the grade school building was used as the high school. The subjects taught were: mathematics, English, science, physical education, history, commercial subjects, Latin, and music. This same year the Baylesr Budget, a monthly newspaper, was published under the sponsorship of Mrs. Bascom. As the name implies, the newspaper was a saving or recording of school activities. It was interesting to the pupils because it contained their own productions. Bayless became a first-class high school in 1950 and began to make a name for itself in athletics. One of the first steps taken was the organization of a baseball team. A second and even bigger step was the addition of a basketball team known as the Bluejayr, blue and white being the school colors at that time. As there was no gym- nasium or indoor court whereon to practice, St. George's gymnasium was rented. - There was practice two days a week after school. Bayless was often defeated in those first few years but the team never failed to show an optimistic and sporting spirit. During the 1930-1931 term the Girls'.Glee Club, sponsored by Mrs. Hubbard, was organized to place music in all its forms as an important unit in the school curriculum. The Boys' Athletic Club, sponsored by Mr. Murphy, was launched upon its career in january, 1931, with the usual enthusiasm of the Bayless boys. The aims of this club were to promote good sportsmanship in and out of school, truthfulness, clean living, and loyalty to friends and to the school, and to develop quick thinking and their physical powers to their utmost. The same year the Girls' Athletic Club started with the object of promoting good sportsmanship, the spirit of democracy and high physical efficiency among the girls. The club which consisted of seventeen girls was sponsored by Mrs. Elmore. Mrs. Bascom sponsored the Dramatic Club to promote a love for drama and a finer type of plays for high school students. In 1931 the members presented junior and Senior plays which were later combined into the junior-Senior play of today. 'Stunt Nite was also instituted by Mrs. Bascom that year. It was supported by the student body, faculty, school board and the community to raise funds to promote athletics. 41 'I'-If NCI 41' 'lvl' Hb Bayless was admitted into the Missouri State Athletic Association and entered into the St. Louis County League. Baseball was the only league sport that we could enter. The first year victory was difficult, however, because only a small number of boys responded, they had little or no athletic work, and they were unfamiliar with league competition. In February of 1952 an assembly was held to adopt a name for the first annual. After much discussion the name Oracle was decided upon. That year the basketball team competed for the first time in a tournament held at the Wasliington University Field House. Although we did not win, we played a good game. p The first Junior-Senior Prom was held April '30, 1952. It was a formal occasion given by the Juniors to honor the Seniors. In May of this year the first Senior class of Bayless High School, consisting of seven students, graduated. The exercises were held at Gardenville Masonic Temple. The guest speaker of the evening was Dr, Ivan Lee Holt, one of the foremost speakers in the United States. During the school term of '32-'55 the Boys' Glee Club was organized with twenty- one members. Meetings were held twice a week under the sponsorship of Mrs. Hubbard. This club combined with the Girls' Glee Club to hold the first annual Music Night in january. There was a gala band parade with noise and flags in 1932 to get votes for a bond issue for a high school building. The bond issue passed and in january, 1933, workers began to wreck the old grade school building located where the high school now stands. In December an assembly gathered to lay the cornerstone. For the first time in 1935 Bayless took part in the annual school music festival held for the schools of St. Louis County. From 1957 to 1940 the members of the speech class formed an organization called the Forum, under the sponsorship of Mr. Murray Myers. They met every Friday to transact business, after which there was a round table discussion. The chief purpose 1: H ,.L. .u.,7fvf'rv -wi - V. 4 ,371 V, x: :'1'i:pi'st My if .llllaii Elwfi' qii-Q-TFSQ lfli '77 rv Al i' '.ll-lllli K.. gap. 25... 4, P ' silt 'lvl' 'W' Qu. f 'inf' was to foster better speech, to acquaint members with authentic sources of information on world affairs and to develop a genuine interest in matters worthy of a good citizen's attention. The Bayless band was started in 1957. All students from the fifth grade through high school were able to participate. In 1958 the first play was given for the Freshmen to initiate them into high school life. The party was given in the grade school basement. The first basketball queen was crowned for the school term '38-'59, Each class selected a candidate and the candidate from the class which sold the most Stunt Nite tickets and basketball passes was made queen. This year a Senior girl won. A new feature was added to Bayless in 1940. This was Open House, one night set aside to demonstrate to the parents and guardians what the various students accom- plished. The parents also had the opportunity to meet the teachers and discuss any problems that might lead to a better understanding of the students' problems. An active art class was added to the school curriculum in 1941. The students participate in various poster contests and several awards have been won. For some time a Bayless newspaper had not been published but again in 1941 under the sponsorship of Mr, Shanklin, the Bayless Hi-Lights was set forth. A contest was held for the naming of this paper and the winner was given a year's subscription. In the fall of 1942, Bayless' first annual Invitational Basketball Tournament was held. This year our team took first place. Now in 1944, another asset has been added to Bayless High Schoolg a swing band made up of some of the better musicians of the large band. It has not only been an added enjoyment to the school and community, but it has also given Bayless recognition in the surrounding districts. For eighty-five years the Bayless School has been the center of education in our community and the Senior class of 1932 is the pioneer class in the institution of higher education in Bayless. During all this time Bayless has been successful in all its undet- takings, It is our hope that the Senior Class has added something of value to the history of our Bayless High School. .lu ,cas 9 'W-1 , l.ii5i1'f2rL 'lllfil ft.. , ,,.

Tribute to Mrs. Bascom The history of Bayless High School is a short but a glorious one. Its inception, its rise, and its development is sketched in another article. But just a glance at that article will show that the entire life and spirit of Bayless is reflected in the life, teaching career, and administration of the guiding force behind our school-Mrs. Violet C. Bascom. The hundreds of boys and girls who have come under her inspiring influence and leadership bear testimony to a task well done. Of course, we Seniors often find it quite awkward at times like these to fashion into words the kindly feelings and thoughts that dwell in our minds and hearts toward Mrs. Bascom. We know that we, just like many other Bayless graduates, will always return to our school to visit and chat with Mrs. Bascom. CY' 6' Dffl YA' 1529!

FRED VASEL fu ' Sk' In 5NIemoriam They Died Before They Had zz Chance to Live for What They Were Fighting F0r A regiment of soldiers was marching to the rhythmic staccato throb of a drum. All were in step, that is, all but one. He marched alone. He marched irrespective of all the others. He walked alone. Nor did it seem to upset the delicate balance of the precision necessary in any parade. His immediate officer was about to reprimand him when an intelligent and imaginative superior officer checked him. Let him alone, he said, he hears another drum. Another clrtun-to which all men of good faith, to which all men who have displayed that great love of which it has been said, Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. Mortal man neither hears nor marches to that drum. Its pitch only reaches the few-the select few. Within the past year five blue stars in the Bayless Service Flag gradualy changed hues and shades and gold stars replaced the poignant blue. This is the time-the time that all men of good Will, no matter where they are found, prayed would never come-the time when death stills one drum and lets in the sound of the other. At times like these, men ponder over the problem of what man has made of man. Men seem to become lost in the inexplicable march of events. But from this chaos, from the eternal penetrating question, Why must these things be?, one fact stands out. It is writ large in bold type. That fact is the tremendous and overwhelming responsibility that falls upon us, the living, to insure that those who hear the muffled drum will not have died in vain. High sounding phrases-but phrases which must have meaning if we are to be able to live with ourselves. The task lies before us. The immediate job is to win the warg the second, to win and insure the peace. If we who remain alive-soldiers in far off fields and civilians at home-fail to accomplish both objectives, we make a mockery of gold stars on whichever flag they may be found. We need faith. We need hope, charity, trust, and intelligence. We need a belligerent attitude to all forms of ev-il-be that found in the business world, our work, our school, our recreation, our city, our country. We need love, justice, honor, loyalty, and trust. Until we have and hold a measure of these virtues, We have no right to even exist with a clear conscience with gold stars as these watching our every move.

Since then, it has developed and grown, with our Superintendent, Mrs. Bascorn, guiding the project through all its varied phases to the culmination. This year the Senior class was called upon to assume a more active participa- tion and a greater share in the publication of the annual. A staff was elected and much of the work was handled in the Speech classes. The theme, the art work, the typing, writing, proof-reading, and the other rnultifarious tasks were handled chiefly by students under the guidance of Mrs. Bascom and Mr. Beck. Charles Schwinke was elected student editor and under his discerning eye much of the work was completed. To those pictured above and to all others who have contributed their share to the success of this book, the Senior Class is duly grateful. ,V-1 dw 'lvl' f IC' qu 'H' 'C' c-Annual Staff Editor-in-Chief SCHWINKE Theme BAYLESS SURROUNDINGS Senior Perfovmlilief STEPHENS IBERG I-IESPEN DOERING STOBBE junior Persomzlitiex ANTONICH LUCHECK KOSSMAN ANDERSON fa Bzzsirzeu Manager DEUTSCH FLORI STEPHENS CARR Hirtory of School BOPP REINHARDT C al emlar MACHINO KLOUBCAR SCHROECK xg of ' 'iltlfx A 77 fs' x -- Quai LAY. ...ff QAM: CPictu1re The unconscious philosophy of our art education seems to have materialized as we look back to our first meetings in September. The more we reflect, the more we realize how a knowledge and understanding of art helps to -make living itself an art. ' Under the skilled craftsmanship and encouragement of Miss Leola O'Brien, whose words of praise, counsel, and guidance have meant so much, we have been introduced to such materials as plaster, clay, soap, water paint, linoleum blocks, colored chalk, and charcoal drawings. Through these media, we have been inspired to try to create and fashion artistic ideas to make our life more complete. The role that the art department has played in the creation of the Oracle from year to year is a major one. They have designed and fashioned the cover and the beautiful drawings' within the book. Here are a group of Senior art students busily engaged in drawing posters. Q' 'lvl' 'lb 41' - 'P+-' IC' Here we have a picture of some of the posters, projects, and products of our various art classes at Bayless High School. ' The posters on display were entered into the St. Louis Christmas Carols Association Contest and their originators were awarded as follows: to June Boese and Melvin Rhea, the creators of the poster at the extreme left of the display, second place was awarded, to Ralph Brosius, the originator and producer of the poster at the extreme right of the display, honorable mention was awarded. The individuals presented in the picture are from left to right, as follows: students Virginia Roberts, Melvin Rhea, Ralph Brosius, and their instructor, Miss O'Brien. On the table in addition to the poster display is an exhibtion of soap carvings made by various individuals of the art classes. Near the center of the upper edge of this picture a carved plaster plaque made by an art student is in review. 1 11' 5 ei t 6 'U ' x Jeff? if T i Swing Qrchestra The Swing Orchestra was organized about a month after school opened this season, when two of our Senior fellowmen went into the office, on their own accord, and submitted their plan to Mrs. Bascom. Mrs. Bascom proved she recognized the possibility of the orchestra when she readily agreed to give them a trial. Several orchestrations were purchased, Johnson Rag being among the first. In the beginning there were eleven members of the orchestra, namely: Bill Laut, the leader and No. 1 trumpet man of Bayless High, with Danny O'Brien close at his heels, Bob Doering, specializing on the tenor sax, Paul Hale and Gus Schlitter playing the saxaphone and clarinetg with A1 Schroeck playing the clarinet. The others ate: Bob Staely, our good-looking drummer, Don Hirning, who's boogie playing on the, piano is well known and immensely enjoyed by all and Bill Gropp, a good trombonist. To round out the organization we have our second trombone player, Bi1l's younger brother, Donald Laut, whom we all hope to see in front of the orchestra some day. The eleventh player was Alvin Klein, who has for the dura- G dl :P+ lb ia. QI' 'lui' 'Ib 1 1 Y I D tion of the war, put aside his saxophone to join the ranks of lhe'United States Navy. N The orchestra was lacking just one thing-a singer. But this was soon taken care of when it was announced that there was to be an audition held after school one evening. Among ten or twelve try-outs, Jeanne Anslinger was chosen almost unanimously. Miss Anslinger has a low deep voice, which carries well. But besides having a voice, she has a charming personality, good looks, a streamlined figure, and looks well in front of an orchestra. The orchestra made their debut on Stunt Night, November 3. When the curtain parted they looked distinguished and well experienced in their dark trousers, white short jackets, and their smart looking black bow ties. Everyone is well aware that they were and still are a great success. This success was proven by the numerous times surrounding schools have hired our orchestra to play at their dances and entertaining after various per- formances. But not only our neighbors hired themg Bayless did also. Our first big dance was given on December 22 in the school auditorium which turned out just swell. All the students at Bayless are waiting to get in a few more steps at another dance they are hoping will be given in the near future. At the close of this school term we will lose six of these players, among them the leader. The orchestra, however, will continue. There are many new prospects to be considered to fill the positions of the departing members. We hope that the Swing Orchestra will become traditional at Bayless. We also want to wish the future members luck and success for as great an orchestra as we have now. XQMT Jffgyfi .Q V5 f XX., K. Jef' W ef' ' ,W , lib 4: :P+ A si - it , r.. Bw me cw.

Under the unerring guidance of Mr. Castelli, the science students learn to possess a higher knowledge and understanding of natural and man-made surround- ings. They seek to acquire a scientific method and scientific content which will enable them to lead a fuller and richer life together with their fellowmen. 1 ini- ll? qu 'lvl' UW Commercial CDepartment The principal aims of the commercial department at Bayless High School are the training of young men and women in the acquirement of basic skills such as typewriting and shorthandg learning fundamental business tech- niques and procedures: and the development of desirable personality traits which are essential to success in all walks of life, whether in the home, school, office, or factory. ' In the junior year, students learn the fundamentals of touch typing, correct letter styles, and how to type themes and term papers. ln the senior year, the students continue to build speed and accuracy and gain a knowledge of legal typing, tabulation work in the typing of statements and balance sheets. In the junior shorthand class students learn the basic principles of Gregg shorthand and begin taking dictation on new material at a moderate speed. In the senior year their skill in reading and writing shorthand is brought to a higher degree of proficiency, and they learn to transcribe their notes so that they produce mailable transcripts. Bookkeeping is taught with the aim of acquiring 'a knowledge of accounting principles which will be useful in the office, home, or club. Personal record keeping for income tax purposes and budgeting is learned along with standard bookkeeping procedure in the office. The secretarial practice class gives the senior student additional skills in filing, use of the comptorneter, writing business letters, business etiquette, and procedure. ln all of the commercial classes stress is laid upon the development of efficient work habits, and in the secretarial practice class, particular emphasis is given to such subjects as the development of desirable personality traits which are essential on the job, employer-employee relations, correct dress and appearance, how to apply for a position, and interviewing the prospective employer. With these fundamental skills at their command and with the proper attitude toward their work, employer, and fellow workers, our students at graduation are capable of getting and holding responsible positions in' industry and government service. Civil service examinations for positions as typists and stenographers are given in the school by a government representative shortly before the close of the school year so that students may have a position waiting for them upon graduation. A number of our graduates who have been placed with local corporations have made such a successful record that we have calls at the end of the school year for other applicants. This is the type of recommen- dation we like. Miss Kniep handles the commercial department. 'MH a if '.. ' 'LHP s 2 Q CJ-fome Economics Since the home has the first and most enduring influences on the individual, preparation for home living is vital. The Home Economics Department has been established to help young people develop the ability to recognize and solve their personal and home problems. This department promotes skill in planning, preparing, and serving food properlyg in selecting and constructing attractive clothingg in making the most of family resources through wise consumer buying. The home and social relationships, the care and guidance of children-while these are less intangible subjects, are equally as important as mechanical skills and receive their proper emphasis in the Home Economics course. The Home Economics Department is under the direction of Miss Virginia Bruhl. 411 4+ 'K' CBand CPicture The fine record built up by the band this year revolves around a corps of versatile musicians for whom this year marks their last with the band.

This year the Music Department came under the able supervision of Mrs. Parry, a new member of our faculty. 1 +41 mb-- QU 'P+ 'W' Mrs. Farry chose to divide the Boys' Glee Club up into two classes meeting every Tuesday and Thursday, the fourth and eighth periods respectively. After some little effort from both the boys and Mrs. Farry, the Glee Club was able to make its first public appearance during our annual Christmas program. The initial program was a success and we are sure that the members of the student body and the faculty all join together wishing Mrs. Farry continued success in anything she might undertake with the Boys' Glee Club. a wma.. -H . sm -L ,, EMW R a at H R Q 'P as ggi., ., ,. swim was t,5q.ae'y-tts,-gfiwm if a.?.,Hae ts.

The Girls' Glee Club at Bayless was first organized in 1951 and since that time it has not deviated from its purpose: to provide for the enjoyment and appreciation of music for both students and the community. This year, the club is divided into two sections with the following officers: Fourth Hour Eighth Hour President Jackie Palubiak Emogene Ibetg Vice-President Betty Ernst Secretary Betty Ferleman Betty Schneider Treasurer Eleanor Banich Matceline Lillicrap The first performance of the Club for the present school term was the Christmas program where songs in the spirit of Christmas were presented. Emogene Iberg sang Shubert's Ave Maria to round out the festivities. For the first time in Bayless history, several of our members sang in the All-County Chorus where they performed with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra at Kiel Auditorium on March first. Those represented were: Emogene Iberg, Helen Held, Mary Jane Stephens, and Marceline Lillicrap. Plans are now being made for several of our members to participate in the County Music Festival in April. The clubs have been under the baton of Miss Harriet Parry, a newcomer to the ranks of the faculty at Bayless with.Mrs. Lois Kardell serving as the accompanist. x--vim Hndustrial Arts Industrial arts tie into all the academic courses throughout our curriculum. It helps the individual through devious ways to develop into a happy, useful, and successful citizen. The guiding motif in shop is to learn how to use, care for, and appreciate tools. All of the many projects carried through to completion required a great deal of physical and mental challenge, Approximately eighty-eight boys and three girls work in shop and mechanical drawing. End tables, hall trees, cocktail tables, and other useful items comprised the many projects undertaken. t Around the school the boys in the shop keep constantly on the alert for many minor repairs and thus, under the careful guidance of Mr. C. C. Shinabarger, the mentor of the shop, the practical side ofshop work was demonstrated. Broken benches in the shower room, music stands, piano benches, a new closet for athletic equipment, refinishing the Horne Economics and Kindergarten chairs and tables were some of the tasks they completed. 'lvl' or e e me m -1-+ tm no Qratory Each year the American Legion sponsors an oratorical contest to stimulate interest in the ideals and principles of the Constitution of the United States. On january 24, three members of our speech class participated in the first round of this contest. The three orators were: Marceline Lillicrap, Daniel O'Brien, and Charles Peterman, the latter emerging as the representative of Bayless High School in the next round of competition. The title of the oration was: The Role of the Constitution in Present-Day Living' The next round of competition was held at Affton High School on February 8, with participants, from Mehlville, Affton, Maplewood, and Bayless raking part. Anita Graumer from Mehlville had the winning oration. Mr. Beck was coach and all activities were outgrowths of the Speech Class. 5 NT' Junior-Senior CPlay CLARENCE As the first dark days of February fell into their afternoon lull, nine Seniors and one super Junior stumbled to Home Economic Room for the purpose of interpreting a play written and enacted several years before their arrivals on this planet. They found themselves grouping around at end of World War I in a play typical of comedies that amused that generation. Their first problem after deciding upon the play was the choice of costumes. A trip to the library for some research work, and a little practice at designing on Saturday morning, and hunting for materials, two weeks of evening sewing under the able direction of Miss Bruhl, produced a varied and colorful array of costumes. Now that costumes were hanging in readiness, the cast decided to take a rest. It became a daily routine that Mrs. Elmore would take her place and snap her fingers for act 1-4 and just as regularly one of the tempermental actors was engaged in some other personal pursuit all the way from being bridesmaid at a wedding to taking a shower. Then came that day of days that shocked all into realization that the play was the thing. The director walked out from the cast while the pictures for the Annual were in the making. All extra typing was out. Mary jane Stephens had a job for summer and Bethel was over, Schwinke had paid his fine, Don had taken more than his share of showers, Betty had married off a friend, Ed had quit his job. Since the snow was melting Danny had to stop throwing snowballs at Ed and vice-versa and the cast finally decided to get down to work. A week later there it was, Clarence , presented for everyone's criticism, favorable or unfavorable, and Bobby didn't fall down the steps and Marce didn't fall on her face, Ed didn't forget his lines, and Mary Jane and Pat got their men. Everybody ended in one piece including the director and it was a new and enjoyable experience for the whole cast. The carl war as followrz MR.

Win or lose, you couldnt notice any distinct change in the lustiness of the shouting. Time and time again the members of the team commented upon how much the cheering gave them the extra push in hard-fought games. In two games especially was the cheering section in full force: the games with Cleveland and Brentwood. How much aid the team this year received from these peppers will never be known but both A and B team players will verify that it was a great deal.

This year was no exception. I The records show a toll of twenty-one victories with but nine defeats. But behind that record lies 'SL gg,-Af a story of a courageous team led by a courageous coach that well bears telling. I 'Ty' Fighting one little mishap after another, the team gave a good account of itself throughout the if K ijpf entire season. They ended up tied for second in the County League, beating every other team in it the circuit. They captured the consolation trophy at the Bayless Tournament, entered the finals in the Consolation Tournament at Normandy, and were the most consistent up-setters in the district. Cleveland suffered its first and last defeat of the regular season at the hands of Bayless and the boys came right back a few nights later and did the same for Brentwood. Besides the crew of veterans, a brave little band of substitutes stood ready at a moment's notice to go in as replacement. There was Frank Balzer, a fighting tall Sophomore who has a deadly eye for the basketg Paul Buneta, whose pepper and spirit never fails to do its dutyg jack Maurer, now in the Navyg Joe Becker, whose height and fight ought to prove a real asset for the coming yearsg and Don Farson, who is beginning to develop as a shifty forward. fb 'ini' Hb-- BT CBasketball CB 535 isis The B team generally serves as a roving ground and conditioner for the regular varsity competition. If they are an indication of what we might expect of basketball teams in the next few years at Bayless, we have no need to feel discouraged. Although the records do not show it, the team enjoyed a good season. They entered the Riverview B Tournament seeded fourth and almost succeeded in capturing first place, being nosed 'out by Berkeley in an overtime contest. Besides FRANK BALZER, JOE BECKER, and DON FARSON who played A team ball also, the B team was composed of: HERMAN DOERING, captain and leading scorer who played at all positions. MELBERN MOHESKY, a Freshman who is developing both offensively and defensively. WALTER HINKAMP, who can get more rebounds than many taller men. JIMMY MATTHES, Freshman guard. LES ZINGRICH. JOHN KALAFATICH. ROBERT SHAW. RICHARD BIRA. DALE JOSTES. ARTHUR MARKUS. Track With the early spring this year, the track squad got off to a brisk start in early April. Hard hit by graduation, the team dug in for some hard work under the watchful eye of Mr. Castelli. Donald Wolz, Ray Shallom, Gerald Jostes, Vincent Mazuranic, Alvin Klein, and Willie Meyer passed their barons on to Vincent Castelli, a hold-over from last year, jostes, jr., Donald Farson, joe Becker, Donald Leach, Dick Woods, Ray Gulath, and Bob Smith. With an impressive schedule drawn up, we expect to see some crack track material develop at Bayless. The schedule to date is: APRIL, 1945 l Track Friday Track Eureka, Hancock, Bayless Hancock Wednesday Track Jennings Jennings Tuesday Track Hancock, Mehlville, Bayless Hancock Saturday Track Clayton Invitational Clayton Tuesday Track District B Prelims 3:30 p. m.

Either we do or we don't. Two years ago the team won all games but two. Last year we lost all but one, salvaging a marathon from Affton. Thus, we're .all in line for a good season. The field is gradually getting into shape, the warm weather continues to invite, and spring training seems right in our grasp. A heavy turnout of 50 budding ballplayers awaits the call, Play Ball. Though we have a heavy schedule of sixteen games the hustlers in the Red and Gray, behind the pitching of Herman Doering, Robert Doering, and Joe Becker, expect to bowl over opposition all along the line. Veterans from the past campaigns include such infielders as Paul Buneta, Frank Balzer, Allan Weber, Ed Radetic and outfielders as Jos Zingrich and Bob Doering. Newcomers to the ranks include joe Becker, Wally Hinkamp, Ed Hanneken, Don Parson, and our freshmen: Mohesky, Matthes, Les Zingrich, Held, Shaw, and Smith.
