Sophomores and juniors work hard to master World and American l-Iistoryg seniors study the prob- lems of economics and international rela- tionsg and other students participate in psychology and American Problems dis- cussions. With the understanding gained from these classes, Jennings hopes to pro- duce mature, tolerant people who are capable of making decisions in a de- mocracy.

Que tal? , one of the first phrases mastered by Spanish students means, l-Iow's everything? To this question, Spanish students reply, Bien, indicating that their progress is satisfactory. First-year students become acquainted with basic grammar and vocabulary and are fascinated by their new ability to speak and understand another language. In the second year, conversation and pronuncia- tion are emphasizedg while throughout both courses, students obtain glimpses of the customs of Spanish- speaking lands. Most of them agree that studying the language gives them broader perspectives and new fields to explore. Miss Cobb explains the use of dramatic contrast in the seniors' study of Macbeth. Through the study of English, stu- dents learn the art of oral and written communication and enter the exciting, thought-provoking world of literature, Besides covering areas touched by ancient masters, and English and American literature, our English classes study grammar extensively in each of the required three years. Coniidence in the ability to ex- press ideas well and a wider range of enjoyment and understanding are the results of these studies. , ',mdf-he N VW' Mr. Schmidt explains how the length, tension, and thickness of piano strings vary the pitch A deeper realization of strength, richness, and beauty is awakened through study and creation in art, art and crafts, and music appreciation classes at Jennings. Judgment of line and color values and greater coordination between the mind and hands de- velop as art students draw, shade, and mold. Besides its historical and technical sides, pupils in music ap preciation become familiar with music's power to create and extend emotions. Because of their high school contacts with the arts, life becomes more meaningful to many people Engrossed in their work, art students pay careful attention to details. XMI l un-M' or mmf Ol ' as I in . n P Safety first might well be the motto of the driver education classes. Students are taught the mechanics of driving in the special dual-control automobile. The instructor is able to assume control of the vehicle at any time. Along with the mechani- cal skills of city and highway driving and parking, emphasis is placed on driver attitude and driving safety. We at Jennings High School are doing our part to train skillful drivers with a safe attitude in order to make the roads a safer place on which to travel. Promising young drivers return from practice. Ten fs t l 'is I I I I I To become excellent home- makers is the goal of the home economics classes. The girls study sewing, food preparation, personal grooming, child care and family relationships. With such a wide variety of topics, a thorough coverage of the subject is assured. Individuals are allowed further specialization in areas which particularly interest them. As Lois Reeves and Barbara Chap- man consult the cookbook, Jill Crosch stirs. - swarm Juniors and Seniors planning to go to work upon graduation find the Cooperative Occupa- tional Education class valuable. It is designed to furnish an opportunity for them to learn an occupation of their choice. One class period a day is spent studying the occupation, and a minimum of fifteen hours a week must be spent on the job. The student is supervised by his employer, and the instructor pays regular visits to the employer to check on the student's progress. ll 'Wild n 1 'FTM-L33 Typing students learn the keyboard as Mrs. Schaaf dictates drill. A wide variety of subjects with practical value are available to boys. Those who plan to enter any industrial or engineering field find the General Drafting class most helpful. Students learn to interpret blueprints and to describe the shape of an object through drawings. General Metals is a beginning course in metalwork. Areas of work include sheet metal, metal pouring, heat treating and pattern making, plus many others. An opportunity to do advanced wood- working is also offered. In addition to this, files, planes, tablesaws, and other closely related topics receive attention. In their drafting class, boys work for accurate scale measurements. Steve Becker assists a customer as his employer looks on. Basic fundamentals of business education are taught in typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping. For those who wish to continue with shorthand dictation and transcrip- tion, advanced knowledge is ac- quired in secretarial practice. Stu- dents who do not have training in shorthand but want to become ac- quainted with office duties and routines may take office procedures fb ML. 7aJleaf0az'enz'e Amaammg and 74warg I3 Sam! .444 Oegawyacau 5 7 Om 7444! 700444 101 Sendouand ..... 23 1465146644 ........ .. .... X7 Tl 5 L 3-R' In the gabled, sepia-colored Central Office Building on Cozens Avenue, Jennings school administrators meet to discuss the problems of the district. Alert and dedicated leaders, they co-ordinate and supervise the school pro- gram. Well-trained faculty members execute administration plans. Beyond the sincere desire that the students learn and understand his subject, each teacher carries the great responsibility of influence in their lives. Backed by years of training and experience, Mr. A. E. Wehmeier is well qualified to handle the problems of school administration. He received his high school education in Collinsville and Troy, lllinois, and earned the degree of Bachelor of Arts at McKendree College in the same state. His studies for his Master ofArts degree took place at the University of lllinois, and he did additional work at Colorado State Teachers' College and the University of Missouri. Last summer he continued his studies at Columbia University in New York. Mr. Wehmeier was a mathematics and social studies teacher, coach, principal, and assistant superintendent at various other schools before coming to Jennings in 1950 as principal of the Junior-Senior High Schools. He rose from assistant superintendent to superintendent in 1957. 45 As students move forward to meet life's problems both in school and later out of school, the importance of educa- tion increases. A person's education begins very early in life and moves progressively through the formal education of elementary school, high school and college. However, the most impor- tant tasks of self education, eventually leading to self independence, come with the beginning of a career. 211 5? F16 wi S -5 'Plan Every generation which must solve its own problems every technological achievement which must advance its own cycle, and every change in pattern which is unavoid able in life itself, demand well-rounded, educated persons who can adjust to these inevitables. Our challenge is: Can we move foward and meet these ever increasing demands? A group of individuals who generously donate their time, is the Board of Education. Working under a heavy load of responsibility, the Board meets often to determine the financing, supervi- sion, and management of the schools. Annually, two new members are elected to the Board and serve a term of three years. Thus, the Board always consists of experienced individ- uals guiding its actions. STANDING: Mr. W. C. Braihland, Treasurerg Mr. George L. Weaver, Director, Mr. J. F. Yancey, Presidentg Mr. Al Syrett, Director. SEATED: Mr. A. A. Meyer, Director, Mr. Robert Feld, Secretary. 4ulDe1uet Mr. Robert Maxwell presides at the first PTA meeting. Educated in St. Louis area schools, Mr. Elmer Belsha graduated from Central High and received Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees at Wash- ington University. Currently, he has finished most of the requirements for a Doctorate of Education. Mr. Belsha has held several positions in the Jen- nings School District from teacher to principal of the Senior High at the present. His qualities of tact and understanding have helped him to become a Jennings leader. Mr. Elmer Belsha Believing that coordinated ef- forts between many areas are neces- sary for students' balanced environ- ment, the Parent-Teacher Associa- tion works for the welfare of youth in home, school, and community. To achieve these ends, the or- ganization devotes irs meeting to study groups, lectures, and discus- sions. It sponsors Boy Scout Troop 151 and participates with the Jen- nings PTA Council in giving the school picnic and awarding a 3100 scholarship annually to a deserving student. Present officers are: Mr. Robert Maxwell, presidentp Mr. Royden Quitzow, vice-presidentg Mrs. Earl Maxwell, secretaryg Mrs. Louise Schaaf, treasurerg Mr. Allen Bower and Mrs. Beatrice Seidel, delegates. Mr. Gene McKinney graduated from high school in Licking, Missouri. At the University of Missouri, he took courses that led to Bachelor of Science and later Master of Education degrees. Mr. McKinney accepted his first teaching posi tion, as a science instructor, in Farmington, Missouri and then filled principalships in Licking and Fulton In 1957, he became the principal of the Jennings Junior High School. His leadership has been active and beneficial. Mr. Gene McKinney --Q . fm , 'hx',':S,, ' Q N Y ,.

Q51 t ,.S-,, . . is 1 -ft Twenty-two I I For nearly thirty-four years one personal- ity has been an integral part of the life of Jennings High School. That individual first came to Jennings in 1925 as principal and teacher of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and manual training. A graduate of Central Missouri State, he later continued his studies by taking many graduate courses at the University of Mis- souri and Iowa and Washington Universities. Since 1951 he has served in full-time capacity as a thorough and efficient teacher of physics and mathematics. During his years at Jennings, this individual has gained the esteem of the community and of students who regard him as a friend and devoted teacher. In appreciation for his scholarly influ- ence, we,the JEN ECHO STAFF of 1959, dedicate our annual to Mr. C. E. Robertson. Mr. Robertson helps Ken Humphreys and Bob Keymer in a physics experiment.

As these groups meet in informal atmospheres, students become better acquainted with one another while sharing the same interests, working on projects, and practicing basic demo- crgiric processes. Our clubs at Jennings enliven school life and perform useful serxices. By striving to give the students a voice in school govemment, the Senior High Student Council receives basic training in the responsi- bilities of self-govemment. Affiliated with the National and Missouri Associations of Student Councils, ours also takes an active part in the St. Louis County Suburban Association. By coordinating the school activities, the council actively participates in many phases of students' lives. This year, among their many activities, the council formulated a new plan for selecting cheerleaders, sponsored the first dance of the school year, purchased pennants for the gym, conducted a canned goods drive as the an- nual Christmas project, assisted in planning Col lege Day, sponsored the spring camival, and supervised Pep Weekend. New members are elected each spring by the student body, and officers are chosen by the council members early in the fall. Each class elects five representatives. The Student Council is sponsored by our principal, Mr. Belsha. ' .f.J:,E1-fn?-. ' ' ' Slam Paul Hatz, Vice-President, Wayne Winter, President, Sue Troxler, Secretary-Treasurer.

To offer the students an opportunity to parti- cipate in the formulation of some policies, to share in the planning of activities, and, in gen- eral, to promote a closer feeling between students and faculty are the purposes of the Junior High Student Council. Qualifications for representative are: be a good school citizen and maintain above average grades. Each counciling group elects one repre- sentative in the spring. Nominations for officers are made from lists signed by students who desire to run. Officers are elected by the student body each fall. Among their many activities, the council sponsors two school dances and a teen town which meets every other week. It holds locker inspec- tions, handles the sale of activity tickets, and as- sists in charity drives. Currently, the council donated fifty dollars to help pay for risers used by Mixed Choruses.

As soon as one issue is finished, the thirteen members of the journalism class, advised by Mrs, Krebs, begin to plan, write, and type in preparation for the next one. First, the editor and assistant, the news reporters, feature staff, sports writers, and artists receive their assignments. When the information has been gathered, the articles composed, the copy proofread, and the layout planned, the girls in the secretarial practice and office procedures classes, directed by Miss Shultz and Mrs. Dixon, type the stencils. After the journalism students mimeograph the pages at the Central Of- fice and assemble and staple them together, another issue of the GROWL is ready for distribution among the students. Perhaps the best reflection of Jennings school life as the students see it, the GROWL is friendly, informing, and interesting. It contains fourteen pages and appears every two weeks. Sixty I-Imm! So you are right, says Diane to Jill. Schulz-i Editor Pat Buder makes assignments for the ROAR'S next issue. 112 n A nose for news is the chief qualifica- tion of a ROAR reporter. News concerning current school affairs, sports, features, editorials, fashions, date hints, and a host of other topics is sought and eventually finds its way to the pages of the ROAR. The bi-weekly publication keeps Junior High students abreast of current events. Journalism is an eighth grade elective subject which meets one semester. At the end of the first semester, a new staff takes over. Pat Buder serves in the capacity of editor, and Beth Schmiechen as assistant editor. Their sponsor is Mr. Zemunski. Each spring the staff visits the POST- DISPATCH. This gives the students an opportunity to witness the newspaper busi- ness first hand. The staff also attends the Annual lnterscholastic Press Conference held at Washington University. Sponsoring the Christmas dance enables the staff mem bers to purchase a gift for the school each year with the proceeds. Last year they purchased a slide projector.

Two of the trademarks of the Jennings Senior High Mixed Chorus are blended crescendos and balanced harmony, which result from the expert direction of Mr. John Maier. Those passing the auditorium during the second period are certain to hear the strains of melody and scale patterns as the seventy-five chorus members learn new songs, review familiar ones, and practice technical skills. With assurance and precision, the Mixed Chorus produced excellent entertainment. This year it per- formed at meetings of the Parent-Teacher Association and Mothers Club, the Senior High Christmas Assembly a Christmas concert presented jointly with the band, the Spring Concert, and tours at other schools. For formal events, the singers don maroon, white- trimmed robes, but for less serious occasions they may appear in circus or country costumes. Chorus members take particular pride in Shirley Mattingly and Mary Turnbull, who, after auditioning, were chosen to sing in the All County Chorus. Pins are awarded to members who attend every performance. Sue Haas accompanies them on the piano. A delightful trio of three junior girls, Jayne Clark, Karen Bengard, and Marilyn Syrett, adds pleasure at various functions. With a repertoire ranging from sacred music to popular songs, the girls present special numbers. Mr. Maier coaches them, and Carolyn Dixon is their pianist.

Whether stepping smartly at the head of a parade or seated under the stage lights for a concert, the Jennings Senior Band presents fine music and an im- pressive sight. Mr. Charles K. Schmidt, band direc- tor, and his fifty-five musicians are an active and im- portant part of the Jennings Schools and community. Traditionally, the band gives four major concerts each year. The annually anticipated Jazz Concert gives the group an opportunity to display its ability in playing contemporary jazz compositions, and audi- ence and band both enjoy the performance. At Christmastime, in collaboration with the Mixed Cho- rus, the band adds to the Yuletide spirit by playing Sixty-six carols and other music. The Spring Concert is another enjoyed eventg and in June, the group adds impressiveness to the graduation, the last formal public appearance for senior members. Tours, also an important part of the band program, are made at least twice each year, one to a college, the other to a high school, which, in Illrll, sends its band to Jennings. Contests are points of interest and challenge, and Jennings is proud of its A-rate group. Assemblies and the school picnic parade are en- livened by the band also. Rehearsals are held daily in the auditorium during the first period. derek ' an Me ri 0a! ROW FIVE: Ron Volz, Ron DuRa11, Mr. Schmidt, Band Director.

IN MEMORY Jerry Privett, a ninth grader stricken with polio, died at St. Anthony's Hospital on December 19, l958. Well-liked and de- pendable, he played the trumpet in the Senior Band and will be missed by his fellow band mem- bers and classmates. To become a member of the All County Band is a notable and coveted achievement, and Jennings enjoys the distinction of having six of its band members in the group. This means that they have successfully competed against musicians from the entire county. Clarinetist Ken Flory captured the first solo chair in the-All County, with Doug Kempfer and Al Meyer securing fourth and fifth positions. Carolyn Dixon played first chair solo baritone, Craig Sergel, a sex ruth grader, won the first solo trombone chair, and Bill Wood received a fourth chair in the trumpet sec- tion.

Transforming the gym into the lovely land of Shangri La was a major accomplishment of the class of 1959. After several meetings,the class members chose the Oriental theme and the committees to prepare for the gala evening of May 9, 1958. As the work progressed, countless details and problems were met and solved. Then, a week before the event, juniors equipped with kleenex, crepe paper, and staplers began the job of decorating. By Saturday, the gym was htuig with pink and white streamers. Japanese lanterns and wind -chimes, with an Oriental bridge in one comer for picture -taking, the dais on which the court was to sit in another, and the band platform were all in readiness for the Johnny Polzin players. That evening, Japanese servants served a delicious dinner on the shelf, after which the guests adjourned to the gym floor for dancing. At the magic hour of midnight, the coronation, with its slow proces- sion of the retiring queen, maids, escorts, squire, and page began.

No, it wasn't Valentine's Day, but Color Day at Jennings High, with red and white prevailing and every other girl displaying a chrysanthemum sold by the Pep Club. That evening on the parking lot behind the gym, the school spirit of the student body rose to a peak as an image of the Pattonville Pirate crackled merrily in a bonfire of discarded Christmas trees collected by the senior class. Inside the gym, both the B team and the varsity squad swept to victory over the Pattonville visitors. After the game, spectators, team members, and cheerleaders from both schools enjoyed a senior- sponsored, informal dance on the shelf to the music of the Stardusters. With the swish of full-skirted evening dresses, strains of music provided oy Harvey Kincer, and the murmur of gay conversation and laughter, the Basket Ball, held on the following night and sponsored by the Juniors, climaxed a wonderful weekend. Queen Judy Seidel and King Bob Maxwell, assisted by eight maids and their escorts selected in student elections, reigned graciously during the evening. Although the bonfire is now a pile of ashes, the games have been won, and the gym is no longer a ballroom memories of a fine Pep Weekend linger with all those who participated in it.

I E I Gaily decorated invitations announcing a Valentine Tea to be held on February 13 arrived at the homes of mothers of Secretarial Practice students. For a week, the girls had been planning decorations, refreshments, and entertainment for this annual occasion. On the day of the event, the girls hurried about brew ing coffee and tea, setting the serving table, and ar- ranging an attractive red-and-white Carnation center- piece. Bright hearts, cupids, and lovebirds adorned the bulletin board. After greeting their mothers, the girls presented Miss Shultz, class instructor, with a corsage. Then, with hostesses presiding at gleaming silver urns, the guests served themselves with cake, after which the future secretaries exhibited their skills in the use of office equipment. As the mothers departed, the students began the task of cleaning up, agreeing that their project had been suc- cessful. Against a valentine backdrop, Susan Sievers and Jeannette Gebauer serve their guests. 1 Y 64 nb fd 1,11 A J iii! 753313 ,igsv-'Af fs? , Y i l' wi. ,av W. HW, O Q ,k. yzgxxz Q -7 Us .W 'k!

Opening the fall baseball season with four out of five victories, the Bulldog ballplayers compiled an overall record of 5 wins and 4 losses. After defeating traditional rival, Fairview, two times, Jennings swamped Valley Park in front of their own fans by 18 runs. The score after the first two in- nings was 15-0 in favor of Jennings. The substitutes played the rest of the game running up the score to 22-4 in favor of the Bulldogs. With only four lettermen onthe squad, Coach Jerry Burgoyne brought the Bulldogs on to success.

But, Coach Grace deftly molded his seven returning lettermen into a formid- able unit. Starting slowly, with losses to St, Charles, 68-55, andRitenour 69-66, the Bulldogs found themselves at the Wellsville Tourney, dumping Centralia 81-51, losing to a strong Mexico team '75-61, and thumping University High '71-39. They emerged the holders of the third-place trophy. Returning to native land, the Bulldogs launched their title defense in a reshuffled league. Still operating under the same banner, the conference gained new members in Wellston, Kin- loch, and Parkway, but lost arch-rival Riverview. In the initial league outing, a rea-not Kinloch five subdued J ennings'69-84. Resentful of this early defeat, the Bulldogs knocked off the rest of the league to clinch second spot in the conference race. Paced by co-captains, Bob Maxwell and George Balsam, the Bulldogs lived up to pre-tourney seeds and walked off with second-place laurels in the North County Tournament. Turning back Berkeley 61-36, and Pattonville 55-65, Kinloch proved to be too tough in the championship encounter, defeating Jennings 69-82.

The team, in its third year, is experi- encing growing pains, but the Varsity Bulldogs show encouraging signs of production. This season there were ten scheduled matches, the district matches, and the state meets. The matmen participated in all but the state meets, for which the team failed to qualify. One highlight of the 1958-'59 season was Jen- nings' swamping ofCountry Day, 45 to 5. The team lost to Ladue, Clayton, and Ferguson by close scores. ln order to better next season's team, a wrestling clinic was held for two weeks, beginning on February 16 and continuing until March 2. Bob Yowell, the team captain, led in points. A Senior player who will be leaving the squad this year he had a good season, ending with 53 individual points and 32 team points.

During the winter months, interest strongly centers in basketball and is demonstrated in one respect by the lively sessions the girls' intramural program holds. Divided into three teams according to classes, the girls concentrate on practice and competition among themselves, after which Miss Dye selects the members of the varsity squads.

M1448 To compile a combination memory and record book with originality, interest, and taste is the task of the yearbook staff, a project which involves six months of work and planning. During their first several meetings, the staff mem- bers, guided by Miss Mary Shultz, their advisor, discuss the important opening pages and become familiar with the total plan of the book. Much work goes into the completion of a single page, the photographer supplies interesting, clear pictures, the layout is planned out on the dummy and then drawn on the 3R , the writers prepare the copy, which the typists transfer finally to both sheets, and then the page is checked several times for errors. Using the process of elimi- nation accompanied by lively discussion, the class chooses a cover design. As the contract specifies four deadlines, the staff sometimes puts in overtime. Q .l Another important area is the sales campaign, in which staff members try their hands at salesmanship and the business manager keeps accurate, daily records. Even though the last deadline falls in February, the climax comes in late May, when the books, bright with new covers and still smelling of fresh ink, arrive for distribution to eager students. One may then hear satisfied staff members exclaim, Well, it was a lot of work, but worth it! Hm'm, Looks nice. While staff members work at various taslc, Annette Barkey, Literary Editor, confers with advisor and editor. gl. , A I, ,Xu ,X ' 1 , . 1' .- 1 r 0 -1 ,I 1' , k cyl' W' lu ' ,, , .21 , g . . ,V ' V' ' . w 'M M Vvv W NJ . ! ,1 G3 r ,,, Y .I W Y N., ,d , V x ..
