Ryan, H. H. Mecker, and finally our own Miss Ernst, at present the only woman principal of a St. Louis public high school. MR. HOLDEN Mr. Holden, the Assistant Principal of Blewett, has been at Blewett ever since it was transformed into a senior high school in the fall of 1933. He has been an ever-guiding hand to the promotion of public education for many years. He arrived the year preceding Miss Ernst's arrival, when Mr. Mecker was principal. His most effective experi- ence has been of the greatest aid to every pupil of Blewett High. o Of cers and Class Sponsor f giweff Ar January, mnefeen ijlairfy- mme 742 FACULTY The Faculty of Blewett High consists of forty-nine teachers Who, on the most part, through many years ot experience have come to understand every phase ot mental and moral problems ot the boys and girls ot high school age.

Numerous social events are held which entertain and help bring about a closer and friend- lier relationship between the stu- dents. Heading the list of important ac- tivities presented by the Senior Class of 1939, was the Senior-New Senior Party. Last Iune after a hilarious program was given in the auditorium, everyone proceeded to the girls' gym Where King Dance reigned. On October 6 the Seniors spon- sored a dance which achieved the distinction of drawing the largest crowd to ever attend a dance at Blewett. Perhaps this signifies effect of the vitality of our senior class. The Amateur Show which was a success from every standpoint, was presented on Thursday, October 26. Talent galore was found among the competing amateurs. Violinists, singers, dancers and comedians dis- played their ability. After a very conscientious appraisal of the pre- sented talent, three winners were selected. Frances Maguire, a singer, won first prize, and Bernadine Gar- rett, also a singer, took second prize. Third prize was won by Stanley Schmitz, banjoist. The winners were Chosen by the applause of the audience. Halloween brought about another dance which saw the Blewett Dance Orchestra making its debut. Those who heard it predicted the band would have a successful future. November 28 to December 2 was recognized as the traditional bow week. Senior boys wore bow ties and senior girls wore bows in their hair. The Senior recognition pins were given out on October 14. The pins, round in shape, have the Grif- fin emblem in the center with the school initials below. Mr. Seitz's gym team on the after- noon of December 5 gave an exhibi- tion for the benefit of the Senior Class. After weeks of hard work the Dramatic Class, under the direction of Miss M. Smith, presented the play Campus Quarantine. As this was a Senior project, the cast was com- posed entirely of Seniors. Two per- formances were given, one in the afternoon for the students and one at night for the parents. Both audi- ences thoroughly enjoyed the per- formance. Two very important dates remain yet on the Senior Activity List. The first is lanuary 10 which will bring about the Senior-New Senior Party. The second and more important one is our graduation day which will be on Ianuary 25 at ten o'clock. Thus with the arrival of graduation our happy days of school life terminate. Page 20 KZCLJJ 6L Class Day is a memorable occasion and one which will long be remem- bered by all Seniors. On December 8, the class day exercises were held lor the lanuary graduating class of 1939. Boys and girls formed couples on the second floor and proceeded upstairs to the auditorium. There they were given the class ribbons by Miss Ernst and Mr. Holden. Alter they had taken their places the cur- tain was parted revealing the class pennant. A short speech was given by the Senior president, Iohn B. Lalata, in which he presented the class to Miss Ernst. Alter Miss Ernst had spoken, the class prophecy was read. The informal prognostication was given in a short skit formed by live members of Miss M. Smiths talented advisory, The destinies were of a very wide variety. Those of the boys ranged from hosiery salesmen to bankers, While those of the girls from secretaries to famous dress designers. The class day pro- gram was concluded with a dance in the girls gym. Page 21 CAGIQQI' jill CLASSES The Seniors leave behind them, the lower classmen to carry the torch for Blewett, to make a greater name tor the school, to follow the precedent set by the graduating classesg to leave their footprints on the sands of time.

Each club has a set and definite purpose and every member strives to complete the club program. fgfewelflf Aonora HONOR STUDENTS Blewett is proud of her honor roll stu- dents. These are the pupils who, for five or more consecutive grading periods from Iune, 1938, have been honor students. Only those who receive grades of E or G in each of their studies are entitled to be listed in the bulletin printed at the end of each five-week grading period. GYM CLUB One of the youngest but probably the fastest-growing organizations of Blewett is the Boys Gym Club. This organization has accomplished a great deal in its few years of existence. ln March, l938, the team took first place in a city-wide contest. its members receiving first, second, third, and fifth places in the individual rating. The trophy that is now in our possession must be won two more times before we can truly say it is ours. This club meets every Tuesday and Friday after school, and its members have the privilege of using the gym from eight until eight-thirty every morning for practice. It is truly said, Golden hours of vision come to us in this present life when we are at our best, and our faculties work together in harmony. SPECIAL MUSIC CLASSES During the past term the special music groups have taken part in many pro- grams, some of which have been a presentation on the Public Schools Series Programs over Station WEW. A special program was given for a city-wide Mothers' Club meeting which was given in the Blewett Auditorium. Following this program the group sang on the National Church of the Air over Station KMOX on a national hookup. The following week the choir sang with the Soldan Chorus in the Auditorium at one of the St, Louis Symphony Concerts. The choir also gave its usual Christmas program for the Blewett students. A select group of fifty is to sing with groups from Soldan and Central at the Symphony Pop Concert in February.

With the cooperation of the many advisory groups, the faculty and the Mothers Circle, the workers hope to continue to keep on growing in service to others and in the number of workers. They are now 140 strong. With the needlework offering resulting in the largest contribution ever given in the school and perhaps the largest in the lunior Group of the city, and a generous offering of food, money and tray favors for Thanksgiving, the Blewett group has made a wonderful start this year. We have been busy, too. As this goes to press, the club has plunged into Christmas activities, filling stockings, making and dressing dolls, making scrapbooks, animals, and other toys. All girls willing to give one hour a week to some service to others are urged to join. No dues, no experience necessary. The meetings are held on Monday and any other night convenient to the members. The club wishes to take this opportunity to thank one and all for their splendid support and encouragement.

Away ride the equestrians, not through field and glen, however, but around the spacious track at the Missouri Stables and the bridle paths of Forest Park. The Horsemanship Club, or The Sad- dle-Spur, as it has been renamed by popular vote, is sponsored by Mrs. Roth- man and Miss Pauls, and boasts fifteen active members. The meetings are held every Tuesday, rain or shine, at the Mis- souri Stables. Each week the girls re- ceive instruction from professional riders. There have been a few tumbles, but they have merely added a little spice to the afternoon's program, and there have been no serious results. This new club has proven so interesting that its mem- bers invite you to join them next term in many hours of fun.

In the first round Blewett was third with a 337 score but in the second eighteen holes they shot the lowest score, 322, for a total of 659, four strokes ahead of Beaumont. Clarence Hartwig was low man tor Blewett in both rounds and tied for third in the tournament. He was paced by Paul Groerich, who shot 161 for the thirty-six holes.

M fr yw' if wi we EPOCALLPZ I VISIT A DEPARTMENT STORE ON BARGAIN DAY George It was a very cruel twist of Fate that thrust me into an unforgettable experience. Fate in the form of a loving mother who sent me to do her shopping for her, little knowing what the outcome was to be. Early one Saturday morning I set off with bouyant spirit and an unfet- tered mind for one of St. Louis' fore- most merchandise marts. With a sample of cloth to be matched clasped tightly in my hand, I hopped off the car and strode into the store. It was then that I realized the mis- take I had made. Let me pause to warn all male readers. A department store is strictly No Mans Land on Bargain Day. One doesn't realize how op- pressed the male is until one strug- gles through a store where a sale is in progress. The aisles were jammed with slow-moving columns of women who were bent on making a day of it. It seems that women are never satisfied with looking at anything that is pretty. They have to touch it, too. Whenever a lady up ahead saw anything which caught her eye, the procession stopped while she fondled and felt the attraction. I finally reached an elevator, and it was there that I erred for the second time. I was among the first to get on and was followed in by a small army of shoppers. I was shoved farther and farther back into the elevator as the unending stream K Iohnson ' of women stepped in. After the op- erator had closed the door, I took rapid cognizance of my predica- ment. First, I was squeezed into the farthest corner of the elevator with scant prospects of getting out at the third floor, which was my destina- tiong and second, a squat, broad- bearned lady was leaning uncon- cernedly on my chest. I didn't mind that so much, but it was her hat which drove me to distraction. A fong, red feather projected from the rear and took a swing at my eye every time she moved her head. I finally slid down into a half- crouched position while the red feather waved menacingly above. We passed the third floor as a darky passes a cemetery. At the ninth floor, I scraped myself off the wall, staggered out into the store, sought out the stairs, and made my way down to the third floor. Upon reaching Floor Number Three, I found myself in the midst of half the feminine population of St. Louis. Worse still, it was the elder half. A gibbering beautician was washing a lady's face in public and at least one hundred women were gathered, gaping at her. I worked my way through the mob, expertly dodging almost all of the packages which threatened harm. Notice that I said almost One lady turned just as I was passing her, and a box which she was holding Page 66 melfeen jltirlfy- Wine struck me full in the face. I would have sworn it was loaded with flat irons. I struggled on through the milling throngs to the yard-goods depart- ment. After a half-hour of patient waiting while a salesgirl searched through countless bolts of drab-col- oredmaterial, I was informed that the color I desired was not in stock. With great effort, I restrained my- self. By sheer force of will power I refrained from tearing my hair and screaming. I thanked the salesgirl and set off through the crowded aisles for the stairway. I made it this time with no more serious injury than a kick in the shin from a very pugnacious little girl. She had been trudging along in front of me and had suddenly dropped the doll she had been car- rying. I couldn't possibly have avoided kicking it, but the little girl didn't rest until she had evened up the score. By that time I had re- signed myself to my fate. I was numb to any further harm or hu- miliation. I limped down the stairs to the main floor and groped my way through the ever-increasing throng of women to the nearest exit. Never did the great Outdoors seem so gloriously appealing as it did when I stepped outside. Even in the cavern-like darkness of a downtown canyon, the fresh air was almost savory. As I leaned on the wall outside, regaining my compo- sure, I resolved that what this coun- try needs is not a good five-cent cigar, but bigger and better mail- order houses. Page 67 DEEP SEAS By Iune Keller Down, down I went. I had just made my first attempt at diving. My diver's suit was clumsy but pro- tective. My, I was frightened to see all the weird sea animals gliding by mel Cutting through the dark- ness of the ocean, I held my torch in one hand, a dagger in the other. Suddenly I was grabbed from be- hind. Long, strong, snaky arms en- circled me. I looked around only to realize I was in the grasp of an octopus. He was slowly strangling me. I tried to call for help, but my line appeared to be dead. Again and again I thrust my dag- ger in him, but he seemed to be immortal and could not even be wounded. Indeed his strength only became greater. By this time my suit had ceased to protect me, my bones were practically crushed. I was gasping for air. I knew death would soon relieve me of this ter- rible pain. I closed my eyes and gave up hope. Was my grave to be watery, or might I still be saved from this monster? Once more I opened my eyes and beheld only swirling water, but it was in a glass which a white robed nurse held out to me. Then it all came back to me, and I was thank- ful that I had taken gas. My pain- ful tooth, which the dentist now held in his hand, would bother me no more. 6A6l,9t6l' give CAMPUS The campus lite, representing the entire student body ot Blew- ett, is presented in the lotst chapter of the book.
