This ls the JEN ECHO Story When time has made the vivid scenes of school days grow dim, and years have almost erased the memories of these happy carefree hours, we can take this book from the shelf and live again those wonderful school days that have made our story of 1957-1958 a reality. CCNTENTS SETTING Administration Faculty Classrooms CHARACTERS Seniors Underclassmen Music - Drama PLOT Organizations Social Life EPILOGUE Athletics Seven Eight DEDICATIO To those well acquainted with the history of the Jennings School System the name of Otis A. See is a familiar one,bringing to mind further thoughts of the long years and faithful service he put into the expansion and improvement of our school. Last year our auditorium was dedicated to him. This year, in grateful appreciation of what he has done for us and for many other students, we, the Senior Class of 1958, dedicate our JEN ECHO to our former superintendent, Mr. Otis A. See. J ADMINISTRATICN SETS A climax to five years of service to school and community was reached on September 1, 1957, when Mr. A. E. Wehmeier became superintendent of the Jennings School System. Before assuming this responsibility, Mr. Wehmeier served as principal of the Junior-Senior High Schools and assistant superintendent. With a feeling of confidence in his leadership, we welcome him to this new position. Ten 1 Superintendent's Message The Jennings High School faculty and students, along with all other builders of future America, are causative factors in one of society 's greatest accomplishments The scholastic achievements, the social activities, the development of physical prowess and mental alertness, the desire to improve to the level of one's ability, and the participation in a climate of democratic experiences make public school life valuable beyond the perception of many people. The continuance of this fine educa- tional program is the envy of all who do not have it and an inspiration to all people striving for freedom of life. fgl'fMAl41!f2JJ HIGH STANDARDS Mr. Elmer Belsha Welcoming Mr. Elmer Belsha to the 'incipalship of Jennings Senior High is ke greeting an old friend.

The program began in the Otis A. See Auditor- ium, where the parents were welcomed by the Student Council president, Bob Krone, and introduced by Mr. Belsha to the class officers. Larry Trittler, the class president, explained the purpose of the program. Mr. Frank Livingston, Director of The Jennings Senior High Counseling Department, then presented the parents with value sheets and explained his duties in education at Jennings. A movie, The Value of High School Ed- ucation, was shown to emphasize his talk. Having been previously provided with schedule cards, the parents progressed to the Senior High Build- ing.

THE PLAY'S Into the egg-she1l world of The Cloisters, a home for social misfits, comes Mrs. Savage, a widow with a fortune and three greedy stepchildren. She tries to use her money to help others, but her children commit her to this home. her frantic relatives demand to know her hiding place. She sends each on a wild-goose chase. Eventually, she agrees to reveal the hiding place--the teddy bear she always carries--just as Mrs. Paddy turns off the lights. Mrs. Peddy and the bonds disappear. Upon her return, a fire is discovered in the bathtub, which apparently destroys the bonds. The stepchildren leave in anger. Dr. Emmet informs Mrs. Savage that she may leave The Cloisters. She hesitates to leave the security of the home for the insane Outside, but the doctor convinces her that she belongs in a world of reality. All the guests present her with going-away gifts, Miss Welhelmina's gift consists of the missing bonds. The scene plunges into darknessg and, in fantasy, the guests are seen as they see themselves.

For the students whom it represents, it is a channel by which their wishes and problems are made known, to its members it provides leadership- opportunities and experience in school government. Active and hard -working again this year, our council approved clubs, activities, and several assem- blies. It sponsored the first dance, helped to organize College Day, was in charge of selling basketball passes and furnished Christmas decorations for the school. The council meets for at least an hour every week, depending upon the urgency and amount of business to be discussed. Wayne Winter, vice-president. Sharon Goelz, secretary-treasurer. TRAIN FDR DEMOCRACY The purpose of the Junior High Student Council is to give its members experience in participating in government and exercising the privilege of representation. One of its main duties is to locate student problems and desires and re- port them to the council--from reports come discussiong from discussion comes conclusiong and from conclusion comes action. From this principle several projects have come, includ- Herr?

Eighty SCENES FRO THE IUNIOR CLASS of the JENNINGS SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL requests the pleasure of your company ' at the IUNIOR-SENIOR PROM Arcxbic1n Nights to be held at the new Gymnasium on Friday Evening, May the tenth nineteen hundred and fifty-seven dinner beginning at seven o'c1ock As a climax to the social calendar of the school year at Jennings, the annual J unior-Senior Prom proved to be one of the most outstanding Jennings has ever had. This was the first prom ever to be held in our beautiful new gym- nasium, which was transformed to fit into our theme of Arabian Nights. As we entered the gym, we found our- selves in a beautiful and mysterious land of castles, mystic gardens, and romance. A delicious dinner of Arabian foods was served to the guests by lovely slave girls and handsome Arabs. The majestic music of Hall Havard and his orchestra swept everyone from dinner into dancing under the Arabian moon. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the queen. The Junior Class chose Miss Lois Wells as queen to reign over Jennings for the coming year. The maids who were chosen to serve in her court of Arabian Beauty were: Carol Funk, Marlene Parks, Jackie Spengler, and Peggy Licklider. The coronation was carried on smoothly with the help of a page, Mar Blakemore, and a squire, Ron Kukal. Y The prom was not all beauty and j romance, however, there were many weeks of preparation by the Junior Class. Many packs of crepe paper had to be rolled and hung, the mystic gardens had to be planted, and murals painted. Despite all their troubles, the Junior Class succeeded in transforming the gym into ,far-off Arabia. Pa 89, M ary B1 akemore' S I qllife 1 Ron Kuka 1.

Color Day--a day on which everyone wore the school colors, red and white -- and the sale of red and white mums by the Pep Club added much to school spirit. That evening a bonfire--to burn the dragon, the mascot of Maryland Heights--was lighted by the cheerleaders. The blaze represented a month of work on the part of the seniors in collecting Christmas trees and making the dragon. The crowd, which gathered around the bonfire, cheered and sang school songs until the fire died. The following pep rally carried the en- thusiasm through to the game, which proved to be the highlight of the evening. The Bulldogs proved their exceptional ability by defeating our biggest rival, Maryland Heights, by a score of 62-45. To conclude an exciting day, the Seniors sponsored a dance on the shelf to celebrate our victory. Excel- lent rock and roll music was furnished by the Moon- beams. The grand finale of Pep Weekend was the Basket- ball on Saturday evening. Red and white crepe paper and balloons transformed the victory scene of the night before into a ballroom. The focal point of the room was the throne, which was strikingly decorated. Eager anticipation for the coronation and the dis- closure of the King and Queen filled the air as the evening progressed. PROM magazine reporters, pro- fessional photographers, and amateurs snapped pictures of all the beautifully dressed maids and their handsome escortsg and finally of the royal couple, King Tom and Queen Peggy. Thanks and congratulations are due to the Senior Class for sponsoring the bonfire and dance, to the team for trouncing Maryland Heights, and to the Junior Class for a wonderful Basketball-1958.

Coach Donn Martin has thirteen lettermen back, led by co-captains, Bob Krone and Art Gruner. Bob tied the Ath- letic Field 100 -yard dash record, and, along with Art, helped set a new mile relay mark for the field and school last year. Both were among the high-point men of last year's conference meet and helped the Bulldogs bring home that shiny trophy. Returning lettermen' were Lyster Bass, high jump, George Balsam, discus, Mike Cook, pole vault, A1'tGruner, pole vault, 440 and mile relay, George Hollocher, shot put, Bob Krone, 100, 220, 880, and mile relays, Joe Laufer, dashes, Dave Swenson. mile, Richard Weis, dashes, Bob Yarbrough, half-mile. The trophy cases are jammed and the records of this 1957-1958 school year are numerous, so the future Jen- ningsite athletes will have a real goal to lead them on to even greater achievements.

JU IOR HIGH NCHAMPSHTRIUMPH For the second consecutive year the Junior High School has conducted an intramural program as an afternoon activity. Beginning last year with 97 per cent participation, this year's program gives every indication of being equally successful. The program was organized with the main pur- poses of providing wholesome after-school recreation and to stimulate interest in these activities: softball, football, basketball, volleyball, track, table tennis, chess, and checkers. Each grade competes against the other members of that grade. Teams organized as counseling groups play a pre-arranged schedule against one another to determine a grade champion. Winners then compete in an elimination tournament to determine a school champion for that particular sport. Points are awarded for losing as well as winning and at the end of the school year all points are totaled to determine the all-school intramural champion.
