Thr Ol 2lfUOI All the worlds a staqe, And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their en- trances: And man in his time plays many parts. While thinlcinq about the dedicas tion tor the l948 Brochure, We came upon the toreqoinq quotation, written by the immortal William Shake- speare. We were at once impressed by the ease with which we could apply it to Blewett. The more we thouaht about it, the more we real- ized how much Blewett has really been a stage, a setting tor us durina the past tour years. We have had our exits and our entrances, and we have surely played many parts. W'e, therefore dedicate the l948 BRCCHURE to Blewett, the staqe upon which we have performed. Four we I 0gI'al'l'l OUR LIFE AT BLEWETT Under the direction of Mr. H. H. Mecker, assisted by Mr. E. E. Chiles and the Faculty. When God conceived the world, that was Poetry: He formed it, and that was Scripture: He colored it. and that was Painting, He peopled it with living beings, and that was the grand, divine, eternal Drama.

She has advised and counciled us, helping us to decide our future. To her goes our undying gratitude for her guidance. BLEWETT MOTHERS CLUB Few of us realize just how much the Mothers Club has done for the benefit of the students and the school. Among a few of their activities were the party for the Seniors, a card party given last term the proceeds of which were donated to the Athletic' Department, and an entertainment for the mothers of the Fresh- men to acquaint them with the teachers and members of the club. This group is composed of mothers who have a genuine interest in a closer cooperation be- tween the pupil, the teacher, and the parent. The meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month and are followed by a social hour in which a closer relationship between the parents and teachers is brought about. The Senior Class and the entire school wish to extend their gratitude to the Mothers Club for the wonderful work they have accomplished. OFFICERS Iames Monteith ,...io.....,.v................,.

The opportunity of becoming a reporter is open to all: it requires not only a knack for writing but interest and a desire to work.

Eighty-four GIRLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The many people who thinlc sports are for boys only would get the surprise of their lives if they were to see the Girls Athletic Association at work. The girls meet on Tuesdays and Wednesdays after school. When the weather is too bad to go outdoors, they play volley ball or basket ball in the Girls Gym: but when the weather per- mits they play soft-ball, tennis, or horseshoes on the campus, which they much prefer. A girl receives a G. A. A. letter after she has earned a total of eleven hundred points. These points are awarded to any girl serving as a leader, an officer, a member of a winning team, and to all having regular attendance. The following Seniors have received their Blewett B, Iac- queline Ambler, Virginia Cro- son, Bonnie Lou Holt, Mary Louise Scott, and Dorothy Sif- ford. Bonnie Lou I-Iolt has also ref ceived the Missouri Super an unusual achievement. ,Ah I. I see it. 2. I want it. 3. lt's mine!

The boys played a tast aggressive game but Eighty-eight missed the altitudinal members ot former squads. The school owes much credit to a tine group ot fellows who gave unsparingly ot their time and energy to provide the many basketball thrills ot the season. Mr. C. D. Franlcenberger, Coach. 9 The B team had a successful season npiling a record of ten victories and e defeats during the season. ln League ry we lost only one game, the first ainst Cleveland. In games outside the igue losses were suffered against Iplewood, McBride, St. Louis U. High, d Wellston. Victories were Won against Mary's, Ferguson, and Kirkwood. The team captained by Nathan Gold- ein, featured a break type of offense iich spread the scoring among all mem- rs of the team with Siegfried, Oppen- -im and Goldstein leading in points. ie zone defense was made adequate by e fine play of Clark, Melton, and Turn- ill.

Even though we lost three of our good swimmers to Beaumont in the beginning of the season, we Ninety-two were very well defended by such swimmers and divers as Melvin Miller, Gene Tierney, Leo Pashos, Fred Ungar, Dick Massey, Don Cal- houn, Gene Warner, Bill Schwartz, and Charles Pedroley. Mr. Ward Parker, Coach. Ever since gymnastics were introduced t Blewett as a means of physical develop- ent, this sport has been very popular 'ith the students.

Our campus, our lunch- periods, our before and after school get-togethers have all gone to make up our backdrop. We have attempted to preserve some of these all too elusive bits of detail which have comprised our setting. Through the exact eye of the camera, we, therefore, present our features, the backdrop before which we have performed. Ninety-f r.,:- sr 4 3 pun your ,il Q..
