We, the seniors of 1950, give our heartiest congratulations upon completion of twenty-five full and successful years as leaders of Jennings Public Schools. You have given us leadership under which Jennings Public Schools has grown into an institution of enviable prestige, recognized for its sound and worthy objectives and its devotion to the high ideals embodied in the concept of liberal education. You, as planners of buildings and designers of grounds, have developed a constructive program of expansion which is evidenced not only in the vast, modern buildings, but in the feelings fitted for the development of esthetic and intellectual interests. And we, knowing that sympathy and friendly understanding for all its problems flow from you, are thus inspired to direct our efforts, too, toward their solution. You, who early in your service career here conceived a richer usefulness for Jennings Public Schools, spread your vision to others and, in spite of disappointments and delays, succeeded with their help in making this institu- tion an integral part of the schools of Missouri. For you, then, our leaders, counselors, and friends, we wish many more years of service as superintendent and principal. To you we pledge our devotion and cooperation in your effort to achieve an even greater destiny for Jennings Public Schools, 4 Z1 n illllemuriam MRS. JENNIE D. S'rEvENs Twenty-nine years ago a teacher was summoned to take charge of sixty-live children comprising the sixth and seventh grades of the Jennings Elementary School on the corner of Hord Avenue and Jennings Station Road. Added to the difficult factor of over-crowded conditions were many discipline problems. Nevertheless, this teacher was equal to the situation, for she was our beloved Mrs. Jennie D. Stevens. Since that time, September 6, 1920, to the date of her retirement in June, 1947, more than one thousand pupils had b'een under her jurisdiction. However, her influence upon this community cannot be measured by years of service, nor by the number of pupils under her care. We cannot estimate the value of such a life in the development of character and personality of our youth, nor its influence upon the minds and hearts of adults. As a teacher, Mrs. Stevens was a master artist by native ability. In each child she kindled an interest and desire to learn. Then, through her guidance, he was taught how to study and think for himself. Each pupil was treated as a distinct personality, and provisions were made for individual differences in ability, aptitudes, and interests. Be- cause of her great love for children, she gave herself freely in service to them in both work and play activities. In re- turn, the children supported her with devotion and love. All were united in a loyalty and pride in their grade, and especially for their teacher, Mrs. Stevens. She was a fit leader for youth, as her philosophy of life was one of cheer, hope, and confidence. A good sense of humor endeared her to all, especially to children. She was ever young in spirit. Mrs. Stevens was deeply interested in people for their own sakes. Her smile and gracious manner radiated friendliness, and others were drawn to her to discuss problems large or small. She inspired confidence and was trust- worthy. She had a deep conviction of truth and justice, and these ideals were embodied in her daily life. Mrs. Stevens was quick to see the good in one and impart to him an appreciation of his own worth. Hers was a quality of mind and spirit that enabled her to encounter difficulties with firmness-without fear. .Thus she engendered assurance and courage in others. Sensitive to the beauty of life in all its manifestations, she was deeply appreciative. To know her was to love her. ' On September 11, 1949, she passed from this life into a glorious eternity, where united with the Master Teacher, she has entered into more active service for Him, a fuller perception of truth in its beauty, a richer experience of heav- enly joy. It is for us here to bow our heads and reverently pray, We are thankful we knew her-thankful we had her so long. - 5 Qfnntents COUNSELGRS AND STAFF SENIORS AND UNDERCLASSES MUSIC AND DRAMATICS ATHLETICS JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM 1 flh my 1 umm, , lllffllll 'IIIWWIBI :fulfil Q .1 , - L n , , - ' lllllll ? wie' - All 01411150 0I 6 all ,-7124512 0 Mr. M.

Qtlass 1BrnpIJerp Early one morning in June. 1960, as the sun came streaming in the window. I awoke with a start for I realized that this was my big day! I had to hurry for my appointment at M1lady's Beauty Salon, owned and operated by Doris Day. Loretta Eudaley islher assistant and they don t like to be kept Waiting. As I was waiting for my hair to dry, Ipicked up a magazine titled Fashions by Fansin, put out by Blankenship and Sons. publishers. Fashions certainly have changed since dear old 50. As beauty shop gossip goes, we discussed memories of high school days. Doris told me that Lily Nidiffer was now working as secretary to the president of the Bell Telephone Company and that Ellen Dussold and Jacqueline Haynes are old maid school teachers at my own Alma Mater. As I said goodbye to them and started on my way, I passed a poster announcing i'The One and Only Duet On a Horse, featuring Eleanor Drexler and June Ahrens. As I read it, I remembered their love in school for horses. It seemed strange to hear about so many of my old school chums. Ipassed Welch's Clothing Store for men, and who should come walking out of the door but Dr. Hart and Gerald Weiler. Gerald has an auto repair shop across the street from the Drive-In. It seems he just couldn't bear to be away from the place where he spent so many happy working hours as a boy. Dr. Hart asked me if I knew that Vonnie Goodwin was still sailing the Seven Seas and that Kim Kalz had decided to join him. We discussed Iilussill Lark's promotion to superintendent of the Jennings school district. He really has worked himself up the lad- er o success. I couldn't talk long, for I was on my way to the famous County Fair! Gary Bair was the announcer for the show they put on. and he was just beginning the program as I arrived. Imagine my surprise when I sat down in a seat next to Shirley Reinkensmeyer, a nurse, who was in my class at Jennings. She told me that her friend Dolores Franke is a famous dress designer in Paris. She went to France with Gloria Schmidt. who is studying art there. Just then Gary announced that the owner of a modeling agency, Marilyn Deuser, was the next guest on County Fair. She brought with her one of her most famous models, Miss Betty Kolb. Betty told about her present occupa- tion and her former job with Bill I-ang's orchestra on the west coast. There is quite a lot of competition between his orchestra and Gene I.indo's Be-Bop Band. The next guest was Agnes Happe, who is now working in the Metropolis Bank of Jennings. She was quitting her job because she and Beverly Pierce were going to be assistants to Dr. Reid and Dr. Moeller, who have joint dentist offices. The director of the Metropolis Bank. David Mueller, sure will miss Agnes, but Peggy O'Keefe has consented to work for him in her place. Joe Wendling was on the program. for everyone was interested in his pigs that won first prize in the live stock show. He has a large farm .in the north. As I talked with him afterwards, he said he had seen Bob Warman, owner of a night club, whose bookie was Dick Day. The singer in his club was none other than Norma Rapp. But who do you suppose is his hat check girl? Peggy Brown! It was dinner time, so I strolled down the street to the Silver Spoon Restaurant, where Dale Warman is the owner. Many celebrities are known to eat here, and I was surprised when I saw Betty Wels, Mary Jane Zeilman, and Joyce Parks sitting at a table near the window. They were attending Beverly Maurer's dancing school in a nearby city. As I seated myself at their table and began telling them about all the school pals I had seen, they seemed to have their own stories. They said that Danny Fox was in the sheet metal business and had employed Allen Miller as bookkeeper. Upon hearing this. my thoughts took me back to the days when Al tried to invent a new system of bookkeeping which all but turned Miss Noellsch's hair gray. After enjoying a splendid meal at the Silver Spoon, I said 'igoodbyeu to the girls and took the next bus for home. After a few moments, we came to a sudden stop, and looking out of the wi dow, I noticed a big policeman whose face seemed to be familiar. It seems that there was a big fire in the wood-working shop of Combs and Stein- m0tZ. Inc. While we were stopped, the policeman walked by, and imagine my surprise when I saw that he was Jay Johnston. He recognized me immediately and asked if I remembered Richard Orr, now the acting fire chief. We were soon rerouted and I arrived home with no further incidents. I turned on my television to the News Release Cooking School, which was being operated by the former Julia Avis, now a highly successful connoisseur of fine cooking. Her assistant, Dolores Busken, was whipping up a new eggless angel food cake, using Madam Farmer's new innovation of cake flour. Several days later I met Marjory McConkey for lunch. She is now secretary to Cromer and Wolf, attorneys-at- law, who spend most of their time at Jefferson City. Our conversation drifted to church affairs and she informed me that the well-known evangelist Gerald Jenkins was speaking over JYPR at 2:30 the same afternoon. I naturally hur- ried home to hear this old friend. Imagine my surprise when he introduced a returned missionary from Japan, Dorothy Wilson. It seemed like old times as I remembered the many discussions we had during our school life together. The ser- mon given later by Rev. Jenkins was exceptionally good and I could understand why great crowds attend his meetings. The afternoon paper contained an account of a theft of furs and jewelry from the former Miss Gladys Jacques, whose husband had been killed in a plane accident several years before. Among those seeking to solve the crime were detectives Williams and Rieman, who had received their early training as military police after graduation. It was necessary for me to drive to the airport to meet some friends. As I parked my car, a taxi pulled up at the administration building, and Ron Keller, Bob Luebbert, Richard Beguelin. and Ronald Rosson got out. Of course, I was interested in knowing why they were thereg and I found that they were enroute to Alaska, where they were to take part in an annual seal-hunting expedition. It all sounded very exciting to me. That evening as I thought over the many acquaintances which I had met or heard from during the last few days, I felt that truly the class of 1950 was showing up better than the average. May this continue ever to be so. 26 Julia Avis ...,..,,. June Ahrens .......,. Gary Bair ................... Richard Beguelin ........... Timothy Blankenship ......

The year 1949-50 has been quite a busy one for the High School Choral Department. Six major concerts have been included in the year's program as Well as participation in the All-County Chorus, the County Festival, a radio broadcast, and one-day tour. Since a large number of seniors graduated last year, there were many necessary changes made in the pres- ent choral groups, However, excellent cooperation on the part of the students soon knitted all three or- ganizations into shape for the busy year. The Mixed Chorus had forty-four members: the Girls' Chorus, thirty members: and the Boys' Chorus, fifteen members. 44 WaJriga .singerd 5 , X .

The Madrigal Singers, a new group consisting of seven girls and six boys, practiced outside of school hours and appeared at many of the concerts. They specialized in singing English Madrigals and various folk tunes, The audiences welcomed this group as a part of each program. The music department this year has put forth much effort to create interest in music for students and community. Plans are being made for a larger Mixed Chorus and a more extensive music program in the future. 45 KCLFLG!

The purpose of this organization was to promote interest in public speaking. Since that time fourteen years ago, interest and enthusiasm have in- creased each year. In the year 1949-50 Jennings has had Hfteen students who have participated in speech activities. These students have either been working to become members or to attain higher degrees. To become a member of the National Forensic League, it is necessary for a student to accumulate twenty points. To do this, the student attends various tournaments held within his immediate vicinity, where he competes with stu- dents from other schools. He is rated by judges experienced in the art of public speaking. At these tournaments there is a choice of three different types of speeches that may be given. They are oratorical, dramatic, and humorous. These speeches are extracts from plays, books, and other literature. There is also original oratory for those who prefer to write their own speeches about definite problems. In the radio division students have an opportunity to gain experience in radio work. Of course, the goal of all speech students is to attend the State Speech Tournament, which is held in a different Missouri city each year. At these tournaments they have a chance to compete with students from all over Missouri. If they prove themselves qualified, they may go on to the national tournament. In the past years Jennings has upheld a high standard of which we may well be proud. We know we will be just as proud of the students who are graduating this year and of those who will remain in the chapter next year. We hope that those who leave us this year will find their experiences in the N. F. L. of great benefit in their future lives. 47 Wafiona! jorendic eague FIRST ROW-JoAnn Howell, Loretta Eudaley, Betty Foster, Gretchen Fansin, Rita Rewerts, Barbara Shuttleworth.

Two members, George Alter and Ralph Warmann, came up from the HB team. The remaining member, Leonard Litzsinger, is entirely new in debate and speech work. Throughout the year the team participated in tournaments held at McBride, Webster Groves, St. Charles, and Jennings. The debate topic for this year, Resolved: that the President of the United States should be elected by a direct vote of the people, was de- bated in all of these tournaments. On February 3 and 4, Jennings traveled to Bolivar, Missouri, to participate in an in- vitational debate tournament. George Alter and Verle Cromer entered the HA division. Leonard Litzsinger and Ralph Warmann entered the B division. In the A part Jennings won second place. In the B section the team reached the quarter-finals. A new ruling that an individual may not participate in both debate and extempo- raneous speaking was strictly enforced this year at the state N. F. L. tournament, George Alter and Verle Cromer, both members of the varsity debate team, participated in the ex- temporaneous division, The state N. F. L. debate team consisted of Loretta Eudaley and Leonard Litzsinger, who upheld the affirmative. The negative team consisted of Gary Bair and Ralph Warmann.

For the first time in Jennings High School, a small group of students interested in pho- tography organizecl a camera club under the leadership of Mr. Sobin. Even though its present membership is not large, the group interest is very high. The club strives to develop ability in a constructive hobby which has potential advantages both to the school and to the individual member. The self-supporting organization hopes in the future to acquire sufficient photographic facilities to create a larger interest. The class of '50 hopes that the club will be the beginning of many other organizations within the school, 2 if -5 'lk QUARTER BACK SNfAK ,JM Law l90l'f5 pain 0 As the months of the sports year 1949-50 marched in quick succession, Jennings rooters found much for which to cheer. The drum of victory-beat often and loudly. Many thanks to the splendid men of our teams who provided the Jennings fans so many thrills. The loss of seven lettermen through graduation resulted in preseason predictions for a poor baseball season. Through hard training, expert coaching, and unexpectedly good playing, the team battled through to the second place position in the North County League. Before the last ball of the baseball season was pitched, basketball practice had begun. Early season practice paid off. The well-conditioned Bulldogs started a successful season by winning the basketbowl trophy for the first time in the history of the tournament. This triumph was the start of a victorious season, as the crowd-drawing Bulldogs disappointed their fans only once at home. Losing one home game and winning eight, the Bulldogs tied with their long time rival, Fairview, for the first place in the North County League. With the return of many lettermen, the track team has possi- bilities for a very promising year in 1950. 56 arfiify Z?a5Lef ! uCA6ll'l'lpJ v John Combs tmanageri: Dale Walters.
