The Clamo I A Basketball Under the most able direction of Coach Greene, the 1937 basketball team turned in an impressive sea- son, winning nine of the fifteen games on the regular schedule. In the district tournament the Greenemen elimi- nated Normandy, who was seeded fourth by the coaches. However in the following game the Orange and Blue were eliminated by the top seeded team. C. B. C. Captain Schomogy led the scoring from his posi- tion as center with 198 points, tallied during the regular season only. He reached scoring honors when he rolled up twenty-five points against Wellston and twenty-two against Webster in single games. He was appointed all-suburban center.

The Junior Greyhounds defeated Wellston, Prin- cipia, and Webster Groves twice. They lost two games to both Country Day and Western and split even with Maplewood and John Burroughs. The B games were marked particularly by the aggressive play of the Greenmen and by their fighting spirit. Time after time they came from behind in the fourth quar- ter to take the game out of the fire. The squad was composed of thirteen men of whom eleven received letters. At one time or another each of the letter men appeared in the starting lineup. Cv Basketball The Clayton High Cn Team closed anmviable season by winning fifteen games and losing none. Because of this remarkable record, Coach Stafford ex- tended claims for his basketeers as champions of the CH class teams in this region for this year. i291 This team set something of a new record when it passed the fourteen undefeated mark of the 1931 and 1932 teams when it tallied fifteen successive victories. On piling up these victories the Greyhound pups scored 423 points opposed to 153 for its opponents. Captain Ernie Artz, center, was able to make 169 points, which is more than the total of the teamis opponents.

In hockey, of a total of 15 interscholastic games, there were two victories, eight defeats and six ties. Tot Harvey was high scorer, with Frances Soell, Ellen Ackerman, and Jean West also counting many tallies. There were three class teams, the freshman, the freshman-sophomore, and the junior-senior. The varsity was picked from these. Although the four class basketball teams, and the one varsity together scored a total of 442 points in twenty-two games, they were outscored by their opponents who netted 541. The girls won nine, lost twelve and tied one. The freshmen were the stand- outs of the girls' basketball teams, being untied and unbeaten, scoring seven victories in as many starts. As in hockey, Tot Harvey was high scorer with a total of 97 points with Peggy Rubinstein second with 69, and Susy Shepherd third with 45. Clayton's Annual Invitational Relays For the third straight year Coach Cretcher's Grey- hounds stepped out to win first place in Clayton's annual Invitational meet held on April 10. Clayton's Mayor Shaw presented the trophies and Sara Mc- Dade, Clamo Queen, awarded the ribbons to indi- vidual scorers. The final results were: Clayton, 453 St. Charles, 35, Burroughs, 315 Union, 23y2g Fairview, 1925 Brentwood, 0, Riverview Gardens, 0.

The Claino Senior Track In a late season Clayton's senior Greyhounds dis- played their stuff when they beat St. Charles by ten points in the Invitational meet at Clayton. How- ever, in a dual meet with St. Charles the squad lost 61-47. Competing for the first time in the A division the tracksters failed to score a point in the state indoor meet. Tom Whitson has been the team's consistent win- ner in both the 120 high and 200-yard low hurdle races. George Mutrux took firsts at the Invitational and St. Charles dual in the discus and added points by placing in the shot and high hurdles. Paul Mut- rux was winner in the pole vault at both aforestated track carnivals. In the same meets Schaeffer has won twice in the 100-yard dash and contributed points in the broad jump, shot put and 220-yard dash. Winchester's ability in the 440 gained him a first in the St. Charles dual meet and aided the medley team with Gleitman, Morris and Schaeffer to win the trophy for that event at the Invitational. Junior Track A fine junior squad is the probable basis for a successful senior season next year. The team has downed the St. Charles, C. B. C., and Wellston juniors and won over the University City Junior High team. The Greyhound pups lost in a meet with the Fairview seniors however. These fieetfooted juniors have broken some four existing field records as follows: Charles Morris ran the 220-yard dash in 24.5 seconds opposed to the former mark of 25.3. In the high jump jordan Shepherd jumped 5 feet 4 inches, breaking the exist- ing record by two inches. However, against Wellston on their field he did 5 feet 8 inches, which counts as a student record. Ed Gleitman outdid his own mark of 46 feet 8 inches in the eight-pound shot when he heaved it 47 feet 5M inches. Gleitman also broke his junior discus record with a 121 foot 2 inch fiing. The junior relay team took four seconds off of the 1 minute 44 second mark to establish a new record of 1:40. The team was composed of Wunsch, Sprague, Kilgen and Morris. On the team three boys have been outstanding by taking as many as three firsts in a single meet. Wunsch has been consistent in the 120-yard low hurdles and the broad jump along with sharing relay honors. Charlie Morris consistently won the 100 and 220-yard dashes. He also was on the relay team. 30 The Dramatic Guild Giving an opportunity to actors, actresses, directors, technicians, carpenters, and others interested in dra- matics, the Dramatic Guild has been one of the most successful clubs in Clayton High School. In addi- tion to numerous one-act plays presented throughout the school year, an annual three-act play is a major project of the Guild. This year, the annual three-act play presented by the guild was Wings of the Morning, a fantasy Master Geoffrey, played by Richard Payne, tries to rearrange the lives of people invited to his house. He is aided in this by Ellen, played by Kay Simpson. The female lead is taken by Marjorie Stormont. For the past two years, a party has been given by the Guild towards the end of the year. Mr. jen- nings, faculty sponsor of the Dramatic Guild, has expressed his approval of such parties. This year's president, and outstanding actress of the Guild, Patsy Patten, graduates with many other members of the organization, and new stars will appear hereafter in guild plays. Senior Play The Senior Class presented The Thirteenth Chair, a murder mystery by Veiler, on November 19th and 20th. Patsy Patten, president of the Dramatic Guild, had the feminine lead of an Irish medium, while the male lead was taken by Morris Sherman, a detective. They were supported by a cast of fifteen led by Irwin Biederman. Marjorie Sebastian and Gus Mackensen were the ingenue and juvenile respec- tively. The play involves a man's attempt to solve the murder of his best friend, how he himself is mur- dered, and the final solving of both mysteries by the Irish medium. There is a love affair and the murder investigation brings forth many interesting develop- ments.
