Bayless High School has come a long Way since it was founded through the patient help and guidance of Mrs. Violet C. Bascom, the beloved and Well known superintendent of Bayless. Nothing is too good for her students. Mrs. Bascom has devoted the best years of her life for our interests. When she goes after some- thing for the good of the school and the com- munity, she succeeds in getting it. A great deal of our success in high school and our future life is the product of the kind- ness and understanding of Mrs. Bascom. She has gone out of her Way many times to allow us to enjoy many extra-curricular activities. The fine scholastic record Bayless has built up is due, in large part, to her salutary in- fluence and Wise counseling. 8 We, the Seniors, wish to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the help and kindness you have given us. We will always cherish memories of Bayless and of the various school activities-memories that you have made possible through the generosity of your time and efforts. 9 Om O I MR. HUGO BECK Those of us who have been at Bayless this last year, either as faculty or as pupils, know the ine Work that Mr. Beck has done. The alumni as well as the present students are aware of the fact that he has instituted many new and profitable changes. Mr. Beck devotes his time, talents, and energy to the interests of the students who attend here. He has given Mrs. Bascom valu- able assistance in advancing our dear Alma Mater. 10 Zaman! nf Z Mr. Hugo Goss President Mr. Hans Haack Vice-President Mr. Adolph Weber Treasurer Mr. Otto C. Gestring Secretary Mr. Louis Henley Mr. Fred Vasel I The seniors of 1946 Wish to pay tribute to the members of the faculty, Who, through their help and guidance have helped us reach our final goal in high school. Without that which the faculty has given us, we, the seniors, feel sure that We could not have attained this goal. We can just look back at our days at school, but the teachers must carry on. The seniors know that the faculty will keep up the good work as they have done in the past. We must now leave, and to the faculty say, Keep up the good Work and carry on. ?wflfe MIss VIRGINIA BRUHL . . . Home Economics MRS, ESTELLE ELMORE . . English MR. N. CLYDE FICKLIN . .

The basketball games when we yelled with the crowd. Of our dear old team we were all very proud. In my sophomore year, how fast it went As we attended each big event, Senior play, band concert, we went to them all, Looking forward to being Juniors next fall. In our junior year, upper classmen were we. Sold Christmas cards. then we went on a spree For the seniors a super prom to produce Thinking. next year the juniors will do this for us.

No one ever has a dull moment when in this jolly Senior girl's company. She has a steady flow of entertaining conversation for anyone whom she happens to meet. Muriel belongs to the Cuirls' Glee Club and Mixed Chorus. i VINCENT CASTELLI March 3, 1928 Vince came to Bayless in his Sophomore year and immediately found a place in every- one's heart, winning him the presidency of the Senior Class. Likeable, sincere, and one of the best basketball players Bayless has ever produced, Vince is captain of our basket- ball team. His friendly grin is infectious as spring in the air, and whatever would we do Without spring? JACKIE PALUBIAK May 10, 1928 Plube , the spark in many a conversa- tion, sometimes says things that don't per- tain to the present subject. Not one of our class picnics or parties was missed by Plube. She was president of the Girls' Glee Club in her Junior year, and candidate for basketball queen as a Senior. She gave an excellent por- trayal of Aunt Emily in our Senior play. World unity . . BETTY PERLEMAN January 11, 1929 Vivacious Ferd is one of our dark charmers Cwe prefer her that wayj despite the fact she would rather be a blond. Betty was candidate for queen in her Freshman year, and this year secretary of the Senior Class. Her friendly attitude, added to pep and poise, will always keep Perd on the top of everyones list. RAY GULATH January 8, 1928 Ray is quiet, polite, and ambitious. He is one of Bayless' track stars, who helped the team across the line many a time. He par- ticipated in the Boys' Glee Club and Mixed Chorus. His ambition is to go to Rolla. This chap, with his likable nature and friendliness, will go far in whatever ambition he chooses. JEAN GROTH October 24, 1928 For the past two years. Jean has been tak- ing a commercial course in which she has made excellent grades. Her fair complexion and brunette hair are assets to her feminine charms. Jean had great interest in the pro- duction of Snafu as the assistant director. 17 eacafzd Great books are the mil RUTH MEYER September 16, 1927 One of the Meyer twins. With her long, black hair and her school girl complexion. Ruthy is the 'Abelle of the ball. The guys showed their appreciation for her charms by unanimously nominating her candidate for queen in her Junior year. Ruth will go far if she directs that twinkle in her eye the right way, by golly! WALTER MEYER September 16, 1927 We old-timers remember Wally from way back when-wearing his first knickers . A fine, tall, handsome chap, he is known as the other swimmer of the Senior Class. At one of the Senior picnics, Wally proved that walking on thin ice doesn't pay. Take it from the other swimmer -Wally does all right as a swimming teacher, The line forms at the right, girls! SARAH DUNAWAY March 4, 1929 i Sarah, a newcomer to Bayless last Sep- tember, has easily won everyone's admira- tion, with her quick Wit and steady humor. Her musical talent must have been handed to her from her mother. She plans to con- tinue her musical training at Stephens College for Girls. Sarah portrayed Martha in the Senior play. nes on the road to world peace JARVIS FRIEDECK E September 10, 1928 Although inclined to be just a trifle bash- ful, we find Jarvis the only girl along with twelve fellas taking part in Math four. Jarvis was a member of the Ciirls' Glee Club for three years. She is very skilled in athletics, being especially fond of basketball. Her am- bition is to be a math and phy. ed. teacher. Lots of luck! BILL GROPP February 7, 1927 Bill is liked at Bayless because of a smiling personality which is appreciated in all the classes he attends. Of a likable and sincere nature, Bill showed his interest in music by participating in the Glee Club and Mixed Chorus, and being a member of the Bayless Band and Swing Band. He is humorous to everyone when he exhibits his girlish gig- gle. fy ANNA MACHINO October 16, 1928 One would scarcely recognize Ann without her wistful smile. She has been a student at Bayless for four years, and acquired many friends in that time. She is active in sports, being very sporting herself. Anne's re- freshing humor can be heard echoing through the halls from Monday to Friday. 19 eaiaw ,N F , A f 1 3 a t 5 ' Z!

You'll be surprised to know Thelma has a hidden sense of humor which ever so often creeps out of her quiet person to cause quite an uproar of laughter. With her per- sonality and initiative We know she will suc- ceed in any lield she chooses. ARTHUR PLATON August 2, 1928 Arturo de Car Flaton, our allllllll Ameri- can wolf. Although Art has been here only two years, he is well known to everyone. His friendly grin and good humor make him the life of any Senior gathering. His musical and dancing ability was displayed at Stunt Night. Art took the role of Danny in the Senior play. CHARLOTTE g. SCHWEINSBERGER June 9, l928 Charlotte has been with Bayless for twelve years. This little blonde has participated in the Girls' Glee Club and has been doing ex- ceedingly well, especially in commercial sub- jects. She is considered the fastest typist in school. As a seamstress and cook, Charlotte was a valuable asset to the Home Economics Department. Her pleasant smile succeeded in gaining many friends for her. e leaders of tomorrow... ARLENE BUSCH December 20, 1928 This blonde beauty was an active member of the Girls' Volley Ball Team, and helped carry the alto section of the Girls' Glee Club and Mixed Chorus. Abie did very nicely with her part as Mrs. Garrett in the Senior play. NVith her typing ability, she will go far in the business world. NATHAN FICKLIN January 13, l928 Buddy was a newcomer last September, but it didn't take him long to march through the school routine, right onto the sports field. He immediately became a 'ihigh man on the basketball team. Nathan is of a can't- help-but-like nature, and seems to have marched right into the hearts of the Bayless student body. KAROLA I-IUNING February 12, 1928 A competent young lass-the editor of this book and active in many other school activi- ties. Kay, with her pleasing smile and dig- nined ways, is one of the most respected girls here at Bayless. She does all right for her- self, according to grades and otherwise We all had a hearty laugh when Kay ope- rated the sound effects at play rehearsals. 21 ' 6016044 The hands of God guid DICK WOOD Aprll 19, l929 4 Dick took his place here at Bayless two years ago and we have welcomed him eagerly into the fold. Although he is a very sociable and friendly fellow, we wonder at times if he isn't a bit girl shy. Those of us who watch Bayless sports closely are pleased to note that Dick is an active member of the track team. SHIRLEY MILLER July 7, 1927 A quiet member of the class. This blonde, blue-eyed lass seldom talks but when she does, you listen. The other half of the Ruth and Shirl combination going to and from school. An old Baylessite, and a valued mem- ber of the Girls' Glee Club and Mixed Chorus. 1 PAUL BUNETA November 13, 1927 His wavy hair and good nature have made him one of the most popular boys in the Senior Class. He ignores most girls but that doesn't mean girls ignore him. He is at his best when he plays second base on our base- ball team, and in basketball-well. He was the detective in the Senior play who demanded time and a half for overtime in the closet. ae pens of peace.. 606014 GINNY ROBERTS November 6, 1928 When Gin becomes amused it is undescrib- able and she can have you in stitches by laughing herself before she ever tells a joke. Her whole body vibrates when she laughs, and tears appear in her eyes. She is talented in acrobatics and letter writing. She was candidate for basketball queen in her Senior year. We know she'll get the best out of life, ROBERT STAELY February 3, 1928 Bob, the answer to a maiden's prayer- tall, dark, and handsome-brightens any occasion with his witty remarks. Bob has participated in the Glee Club and Mixed Chorus, and was a member of the band for live years. Bob is out of this world when he sits in on a jam session to beat those skins in the Bayless Swing Band. LORRAIN E STOKEY May 25, 1928 One would scarcely recognize Lorraine un- less she was accompanied by Charlotte. Stoke has been a member of the Girls' Glee Club for two years. She's interested in Home Economics and does quite well in her commercial course. We know this quiet and reserved miss will go far in whatever Held she chooses. 23 6725044 The sharing of viewpoints BETTY ERNST July 19, 1928 Ulnquisitiveness leads to knowledge is Ernie's motto. Only a Baylessite for two years, she has won her share of admiration and affection. Combination of spirit, friend- liness, gay humor, and working ability, We are sure that Ernie's secretarial ability will be an asset-to any business. Congratulations, Betty, on your good work as the Spanish Josephina in the Senior play. EUGENE WILDE May 24, 1928 Although Gene is one of the more quiet Seniors, he seems to have a way with the feminine hearts. He has been a member of the band for five years. Gene displays a tal- ent for pharmacy. Yes, everyone agrees he is a friendly fellow with a pleasing person- ality. Rattle, rattle, pop, and floppy, here comes Gene in his Jalopyf' FRANCES HORNEYER April 13. 1928 Erannie, one of the most athletic girls in the Senior class, is a combination of vim. vigor, and vitality. Frances is very popular and won the roll of Laura in the Senior play. Suited to the part, Fran was elected treasurer of the Senior Class. She will always be remembered by the wonderful parties held at her house. sential for World unity... JOHN KAUFMANN December 13, l9 28 Johnny has shown little participation in outside activities offered at Bayless. His fu- ture lies not so much in books and their rela- tion to his progress, but in wood and his skill in handling it. Yes, John the me- chanical master. just any ole' thing can be cleverly manipulated by him into some profit- able accessory. RUTH GEHL May 31, 1928 Ruth's kindness and good sportsmanship make her popular with all of us. She has been accompanist for the Ciirls' Glee Club for three years: the class treasurer in her Junior year. A practical minded seniorette and probably the highest ranking in so far as class grades are concerned. Ruth has en- livened our school life for twelve years. FRED B1-XNGERTER December 22, 1928 Fritz is a bashful student of Bayless, so he lets on. That blushing can't fool us, Fred: we know behind it you're quite the guy. He is a boy scout of such long standing that were beginning to wonder if he's a member of the Wolf Patrol. Fred, too, is in the Mixed Chorus and in the Boys' Glee Club.

S , lq q N MELVIN Rl-IEA February 3, 1929 Life has been variety itself for Goose, be- cause he has always been a gallant girl scout, if you know what we mean. Goose is the Senior's best version of the typical Romeo: tall, kinda dark, and handsome. He has a winning smile. Mel and his cousin seem to be inseparable. Good luck to you, Goose, in whatever vocation you choose. DOROTHY ORTMANN April 28, 1928 A unique giggle and a ski-jump nose al- ways adds up to that Ortmann gal. Dot is rather a quiet person. She has been a valuable player on the Girls' Volleyball Team. She is an ardent horseback rider. In addition to all this, she is able to get high grades in her commercial course. JOSEPH ZINGRICH June 17, 19 28 Hey, Joe! Wake up-get your diploma. The man of the hour, always ready to sleep, forgets loafing when baseball season approaches. He is well liked by all his fellow students. This handsome lad has a slogan he's always managed to stick to: They say l'rn lazy, but that's not so! I'm going as fast as I want to go. ide to world unity... HELEN MARIE WEIER May 23, l928 This pleasant mannered brown-eyed girl has been a hard working student all through her four years at Bayless. Helen hopes to further her education by attending college. She has been a member of the Girls' Glee Club for the past four years. What would the second hour typing class do without Helen's supply of paper? FRANK EINCK May 3, 1928 ' Frank has demonstrated his abilities in the science and math classes of Bayless for four years. A rather tall, quiet lad who specializes in raising orchids, quite a catch for a girl who likes flowers. He seldom contributes to the recitals in class but we know he would have quite a lot to say if he would only say it. NORMA JEAN POPE January 20, l927 Norm, charming and attractive, has been with us for almost nine years. When she talks, everyone stands spell bound , for she has a gift of gab. She possesses a remarkable ability to pass off witty remarks-whether needed or not, and is talented in imitating Jerry Colona, with those big, brown eyes. 27 i . s' Fw 25' 1: :I M53 Fifimr'-'S 'V . 35, ,W ea 'sm'-2g5'.'f,.L-.

Joann is an excellent art student: her remarkable ability is displayed in this book for she is the art editor. One of the assets of Jo's beauty is her cute little nose, for her profile is one of Bayless' finest. This brown- eyed beauty proved her popularity by being chosen as 1943-44 Basketball Queen. Q EDWIN HANNEKEN June 24, 1928 Even though Moe has only been with us a few years, his wit and cheerful manner have made-him many lasting pals. This versatile fellow and a Junior lad always man- age to get into their share of trouble here at Bayless. His friendly grin will be greatly missed when he graduates this year. RITA WEITER March 14, 1928 Rita, coming to Bayless in her Junior year, impressed us with her sincerity and ambition from the very beginning. She is known as one of the peppiest girls in school. She is very talented in debating and the speech class is proud of her ability. She has been a member of the Glce Club for two years and has a very beautiful soprano voice. 29 1 ,sas endafza Q . 1 1 , 1.

WILLOUGHBY WILLIAMS May 30, 1928 Billy has many abilities, which he proved by having the lead in the Senior play. being a member of the barber shop quartet and also a participant in the high school band.

The Art Department of Bayless High School was honored by five awards out of ten entries in the nineteen hundred and forty- five annual carol poster contest sponsored by the St. Louis Christmas Carolers' Association. Irene Schultz and Muriel Wallis got top honors by winning the first and third prizes respectively from all the St. Louis County High Schools. Irene's poster had two floats on it covered with snow and it was snowing-in the back- ground. Muriel's poster was a rather modern design with three angels singing. Both were elaborately done in a striking contrast of colors. Honorable mentions were awarded to Wil- liam Gutjahr, Pearl Staely and Joann Stewart. Second prize was won by Normandy High School, and other honorable mentions by Kirk- wood, University City, and Ritenour High Schools. Irene Schulz Pearl Staely Bill Gutjahr Muriel XVallis, Joann Stewart, and Miss Leola O'Brien. qiii IJT' The Girls' Glee Club meets two times a week during eighth hour.

The Mixer Chorus will give Hymnus and Hal- lelujah respectively by Harley and Handel for graduation. ack Row: Williams, Hanneken, Held, Niebuhr. Hearst. Kaysser, Fenton, Wright, Anslinger.

BOB STAELY-solo snare drummer of the band for the last two years, played the bass drum for six years and his position will be hard to fill when he leaves. f WILLOUGHBY WILLIAMS-led the French horn section for three years and did very well. We Wish him every happiness in the future. SARAH DUNAWAY-coming to Bayless in her Senior year, she is the first girl in the history of the band to play in the trom- bone section. EUGENE WILDE-a member of the High School Band for five years and has done very satisfactory on his E flat alto clarinet. GUS SCHLITTER, JR.-solo B flat clarinet this year, he has played in band for the last four years. His will be another hard position to fill next year. .

This year the swing band had to start all over from scratch, so to speak. Don and Paul held it together, with their piano and sax, and with the help of Gus and his clarinet: Bill at the trombone: Bob and his drums: Ben holding up the trumpet section, and Jeanne doing the vocals, the band came through with flying colors. Their success was proven by the attainment of jobs at several school affairs, other than Bayless'. , This year the band will suffer loss again, for Bill, Gus, and Bob will graduate. However, we are sure we will still hear that ready, one, two, three, four, next year, 61 S On March 9, 1946, the members of the Senior class, that were dramatically inclined took their places, a bit nervously, behind the scenes to wait for the cues in their presentation of Snafu by Louis Soloman. Rehearsals were the most fun, though, when Mrs. Elmore chewed a stick of gum, to show us how we looked, when Karola, our sound effects artist, rang the door bell after the person had already entered, the excel- lent trumpet solo announcing the second act, and the fateful sound of the airplane going over. There were, however, a few casualties this year, Jackie and Fred suffered bruises and skinned knees, Gus suifered bruises from his three-point landing, and Bill Gropp suffered, period. These will all be remembered with a chuckle. But everything worked out fine. Ronald got to stay home, with Kate, Danny and Laura had time to talk things over, Ben and Madge understood their son, and Aunt Emily finally understood everything, with a little help, of course. This play will long be remembered by all the members of the cast and stage personnel. 62 Josephina .,..........,. ..,... .........., B e tty Ernst Madge Stevens ...........,..........................,..,....

With Jeanne as their leader the girls have become an indispensable part of our band, Their spinning barons have been seen in the Memorial Day, Armistice Day, and Labor Day parades. Their talents were also displayed at our school picnic. An added attraction to their twirling ability is their striking uniforms. The girls have put forth a great deal of effort in order to make our parades outstanding. We wish to extend luck and success to them in their remaining year at Bayless. 64 l ff' 6e?a,e6ZaZ ast Row: Coleman, Niebuhr. Hearst, Fenton, Kaysser, Wright, Hale. Hirning. Smith, Brueggeman, Groth.

The Pep Club was organized early in September, with the help of Mr. Beck, for the sole purpose of creating school spirit and cooperation at the basketball games. John Coleman and Shirley Niebuhr were elected presi- dent and vice-president, respectively. At the club's ini- tial meeting, Betty Merkle, Edwin Cott, and Betty Wright, later replaced by Barbara Crancer because of illness, were chosen to be cheerleaders by popular vote. The Pep Club was the core of the cheering section at every game, and more than once its loud, clear yells spurred our team on to victory. That new trophy proudly displayed in our trophy case is ample proof of the ability of our team, and of the faithful cheering section that supplied encouragement when the going was rough. So, our hats off to the Pep Club, and may its success be doubled in its future years at Bayless! 65 T gm-14 ' 60:5 This year we have a new addition to Bayless' activi- ties-the Pan-American Club. This club has many interesting activities. Besides the club meetings held every Friday during 7th hour, a general meeting of the Federated Clubs of St. Louis High Schools is attended by two members of each club. One general social meet- ing was held in the Arts Lounge, St. Louis University. Friday evening, February 15. Twenty-two students attended from Bayless. The Pan-American clubs of St. Louis held a ball April 27 at which a queen chosen from the delegates was honored. Each club sent a candi- date as the queen's maid. Barbara Crancer was the choice of the Bayless students. The week of April 8 the club presented an exhibit in the vestibule of the school to celebrate Pan-American Day, April 14.

The group consisted of Karola Huning, Rita Weiter, Joe Becker, Walter Hinkamp, Joann Stewart, Ruth Gehl, Donald Hirning, and Alton Todtenhaupt. On February 9, Bayless participated .in a district tournament held at Maplewood-Richmond Heights on the proposition: I Resolved, that every able-bodied male citizen 'should have one year of full'-time military train- ing before attaining the age of twenty-four. The affirmative representatives were: Rita Weiter and Joann Stewart: the negative, Ruth Gehl and Donald Hirning. Each team debated three times, each time against a different school. The aiiirmative team won their iirst round, defeating Crystal City. On February 4, Elmer Matern, representing Bay- less, placed second in an oratorical contest sponsored by the American Legion and held at Hancock. His oration was entitled The Constitution in the Atomic Age. Becker, Wally Hinkamp, Kay l-luning, Rita Weiter, Elmer Matern, Mr. Kaske, Joann Stewart. Ruth Gehl, Alton Todten haupt.

Under her supervision we have learned the art of cre- ating. Although the-area of the art room is small, the amount of affection Within the Walls is great. Artful clay moulding, plaster plaques, soap carvings, colored chalk, charcoal drawings, and water paint posters are all on display in the Art Room. The Art Department has brightened the entire school as well as the art class by displaying colorful posters in the halls and study hall. Around Christmas time the study hall and bulletin boards were covered with papers painted to give the effect of art glass. This year like the past four years the art department played an important part in the creation of the i'Oracle . 68 From left to right Harashe Kmfman P. Farson, Bira, D. Parson, Luckey. Gulath. Mr. Grate. Malodorous aromas creep from under the door and up through the halls, spreading a pungent smell through- out the school. Mr. Grate's chemistry class is concoct- ing another solution. Throughout the school year the amateur chemists have kept the students' five senses alive. In Physics some of the boys have built radios and faithfully tuned in to 'fBachelors Children every lab period. Aside from this, the science department brought the first atomic bomb to Bayless and detoned it on the stage.. stunt night. ,c For this every student eagerly awaits his chance to perform in the science room. Is it the penetrating odors, the expectancy of a sudden explosion, the acid burns on your clothes or the sight of those curious amphibious animals? At any rate our modernized science department's popularity has been evident throughout the years. 69 I This year a new field has been added to the Bayless Industrial Arts Department, namely Vocational Indus- trial Arts or Trades, under the supervision of Mr. N. C. Ficklin. He teaches the fundamentals of woodworking and metal working. He 'has also spent a great deal of time in arranging, repairing, and adding new machines to the shop. The trade course is divided into ive sections: draw- ing, Woodwork, wood lathe, art metal and bench metal. ln drawing you gain experience in lettering, layouts, tracing, and blueprinting. In woodwork you learn tool use and project construction. On the wood lathe you learn how to turn pieces of wood into different sizes and shapes. In art metal, a new addition to the shop, you learn how to solder and make simple projects of sheet metal. On bench metal you learn how to make various projects in strap iron. As this sketch is being written, arc and acetylene welding is being added to the trade course. At the end of the school year of 1946, Bayless should have turned out partially experienced vocational boys. From left to right: Zingrich, Ficklin, White, Hoerner, A. Friedeck, Woodrow Winkeler Mr Ficklm A Flaton and 70 awe ' In September when registration starts, there is one course that appeals to allgirls-Home Economics. During this coursetthereeare three main topics: sew- ing, cooking, and home making. Most of the time in the sewing course is spent in making appropriate clothes for school and social life. These clothes are worn by the girls in a style show to which the Mothers' Club is invited. Everyone can tell when the cooking time comes be- cause of the aroma that floats through the halls. It is hard at this time to tell whether the class is for boys or girls, because there is always a boy parading through the Home Ec for a cookie, muffin, or whatever is in the making. Home making involves both their previous studies along with economy and child care. This course is directed by Miss Bruhl.

As she turned to face the audience, the evident approval of their choice for Queen was manifested. She graciously accepted the applause.

Cne of the highlights of the season was our game in the Normandy tourna- ment against Bismarck. Bismarck was rated as one of the favorites of the tournaments and lived up to their name as a good team. Bismarck started off playing their usual good game and at the end of the half were winning. But in the second half we came up and nosed them out 51-50. Bismarck later went on to place second in state. For the first time this year a team of Bayless made an overnight trip. We went to Boonville to play the Public High School. As usual we started off slow and were losing at the half, but in the last half we came through and won 40-39. We also went through the Capitol, Algoa Farms and saw part of the University of Missouri on this trip, This year a team from Bayless reached the finals in the Ferguson tourna- ment. We played Brentwood in the finals and lost so we had to be satisfied with the second-place trophy. Our new coach, Mr. Picklin, led our team through a very successful season. This year's team was started with but two lettermen back. Mr. Ficklin stepped in and displayed his ability and turned out a team that was always hard to beat.

Bayless scored 460 points to 390 for their opponents. The season started off with a bang! The B team won five of their first seven contests. But from there on out, it was up and down. Four games on the losing' side were lost by two points or less. The B team journeyed to the Riverview Invitational Tournament but were beaten by Berkeley in their Iinal game of the season. The smooth brand of ball at times displayed by the team, promises a good ball team next year.

When Miss Williams came to Bayless last September as the Physical Educa- tion Teacher for the girls, she organized a team. There was a huge turnout for the first practice and continued until the team was chosen. The team practiced every evening after school when the gym was unoccupied by the boys, and they also practiced in their gym classes. Two games were scheduled with Mehlville High School, but unfortunately Bayless came out on the short end of both games. Back Row Ruth Meyer Frannxe Horneyer, Dorothy Ortman.

AN ODE TO A CHAMPION The Mole, the Brow and B-B Eyes, Crooks in every garb and guise Pruneface, Itchy, and Snowflake Falls Our hero answers when duty calls. He proves o'er and o'er that crime doesn't And I hope I shall never see the day When any misfortune should befall The hero worshiped by one and all. Flattop, Irma, and Gravel Gert And still our hero has never been hurt, He abolishes selfishness, banishes greed PU!! And at drawing his gun he is noted for speed. The Summer Sisters, June and May He proved to them that crime doesn't pay. Who is he? You know, so does your Aunt Gracie It's that comic strip character known as Dick Tracy. Detective Dick Tracy, they call him I'm told Now, stop me if I'm getting too bold, Detective Dick Tracy is long you agree So use his initials and say DDT, Pearl Staely, 49. 'Wade WE LEARN ' We have a student in our class Who bores us every lime: She always gives a long report Thar isn't worth a dime. She rattles on for hours it seems With her eyes glued upon her paper My interest drifts to other themes Her message is just pure vapor. From this Hlibustering I have learned Two things worth relaying To listen hopefully for politeness' sake And have something to say worth saying. Shirley Mason, 4 9. IT'S AMERICA Crowded streets and sidewalks In the noonday sun, A million individuals Working together as one. A broken down jalopy Teen-aged girls in jeans, Little boys on scooters, How much all of this means! To all the ones who realize, How fortunate to be Living in America, The land of the free. Tommy Limmer, '49. ' 'Wewe A LAST RESORT Some people play piano, others play a drum: Am I just unlalented or really, really dumb? Some can play a trumpet, others play a sax, As far cts music is concerned I may as well relax. Hirning plays piano, Stuely plays the snare, Moheslzy plays the big bass: musifians everywhere! Benny plays the trumpet, Shaw. the sousuphone, lllary Lou, the cymbals. it seems l'm all alone. l may as well tell everyone, here is my confessions, l think that l will start today. To lake Uictrola lessons. P. Staely, '49. LIFE lS A SONG Paint brush or tooth brush. what does it matter? Hayrides, parties or heavy cake batter: Brooms or dust mops, or poison ivy clinging, Life is cz song, if there is singing. S. Branson, '49. 90 YEAH! All boys like to skip class Or preferably, a study hall They choose to dwell ln the locker room, ln the shower room, Behind the school, Behind the bus. or Maybe to glide undetected To dark corners left uninspected lI's an adventure Yeah! Name one! Yeah! George Blankenship, '4 9. GRADUATION NIGHT May thirty-first How long we'z:e waited, But now it's here And we almost hate it. XVe picture:l this night Gay, and happy with song, But now that it's here XVe lind we were wrong. Oh. yes. we're happy. Then, too, were sad, For gone are the best days We'Ue ever had. Vlle have our lives before us, Thats true But the thought of what's behind Makes us feel so blue. We must work on That's our theme And further life at Bayless lVilI be only in a dream. ' Wefzae WISH I wish I was a little rock. A sittin' on a hill, A doin' nothin' all day long, But just a sittin' still. I wouIa'n't eat, I wouldn't sleep I woaldn't even wash I'd just sit there a million years And rest myself, by gosh! Wally Hinlzamp, '47. . Jackie Palubiak, '4 6. This is based on the conditions in factories in Engla nd during the Industrial Revolution, when the Chimney Sweeps were quite common: these sweeps being small lads from five to ten years of age, sent into the large chimneys to clean them. suffocarion. Inside of the chimneys many died from THE CHIMNEY SWEEP Poverty striclzen families Contaminated homes. Endless jobs in factories Many who roamed. A little boy of eight VVith broom in his hand. lValIzed towards the chimney There to take his stand A voice boomed through the factory The small boy quaked. A chimney sweep was needed He knew his life now was at stake. 91 He walked towards the foremen Slowly step by step, Stopping so often, to take long deep breaths. He climbed into the chimney The smoke there still rolled He choked, gasped and coughed And then death took its toll. It was he who cleaned the chimney He who lost his life The small miserable 'sweeper Who could now, no longer see the light. F. Audrey Kimme, '48. ' Wane SIGHTS I LOVE I love to see the swallow fly Its wings outlined against the sky, The radiance of an autumn dawn The morning dew upon the lawn The lirefly in the early eve All beauty Nature can achieve All these are beautiful, you agree But one is even better to me This is one I see in every dream- A sophomore on the baseball team, Joan Groth, '49. MY I must confess that I have read An abundance of books in my day. And now I want you all to hear Just what I have to say. AN INSPIRATION As I line up in the lunchroom fPoet that I amj I think of shapes and colors As girls move through the jam, I grab a couple of hamburgers And a slice of apple pie: Oh! Oh! What was that passed by! It had an hour-glass figure fPoet that I bej I saw it stinking westward Then it selected table three, Cleats on its shoes and its charm bracelets' chime Lure me to table three at luncheon time. I move by the sweater KI am a poet pertj The grass green sweater W1'th the fringed grey skirt, The fluttering of my heart is heavenly sublime, I shall eat at table three at luncheon time. . W. Lehart, '4 9. FAVORITE PIECE OF LITERATURE Tarlzington and Twain are masters Of Iilting comedy Robert Louis Stevenson For tales of the sea. Alcott has written many books Delightful for me to read Dumas for thrilling romance Every color, race and creed. Of all the books I've read to date The one that drove me to tears You'd never guess the title, In Hfty million years. It's the Telephone Directory Oh yes It hasn't much to say I'm sure. But what a cast of characters Of people rich and poor.
