Presi- dent Ralph Watzig usually called the meetings to order, but during his long absence owing to an injury, Vice-President Betty Finger took charge. Clee Kinkead had her hands full as secretary, At the last minute it seemed that almost everyone wanted to change the calling card and an- nouncement ordersl Poor Paul Roberts literally tore out his few remaining hairs as he diligently tried again to balance the budget and keep track of all Senior dues. The officers met with the committee, made up of seven members: Elmer Brown, Carl Friedewald, Vivian Volz, June Burk- art, Roger Miller, Louise Robertson, and Dave Garrett. Together, they decided what suggestions should be made toward Senior activities, especially in business and social affairs. As usual, they arranged for the rings, the Senior Dance, and the gradu- ation details: and, in general, met all class problems commendably. To this group we say a big i'Thanks for making our last year such a great success!

Every morning before school all stu- dents stopped for a moment's tribute, while the bugle was blown. As the last notes died out, class was again resumed. The office successfully conducted War Bond and Stamp sales. From October, l4, to March, 1943, 37,641.50 was re- ceived from the sales. During April, an inter-homeroom contest was undertaken for the Second War Loan drive. On Pearl Harbor Day the receipts were 31,900.70 Included in this Hgure was the bond pur- Pge30 Bunn tn War chased with the Defense Stamps admission for the G. R. Backward Dance. At the beginning of the second semester we shifted to a new class schedule, includ- ing wartime subjects: Aeronautics, Blue- print Reading, Wartime Math, and Home Nursing. Curiosity got the better of us, so we wandered into these new classes, and liked them well enough to stay. Another change at this time we remem- ber with a painful groan-our athletic pro- gram. America needs us healthy, so we went full force into gymnastics. M. R. H. Commandos are beginning to like the stiff obstacle course and toning-up exercises Cat least they are getting used to themlj It must be added that several brave, patriotic students donated some blood to the Red Cross. ilWhat's a little blood, one says as he passes out. Of course, we realize that M. R. H. is going to be even more aHfected by these war times. Already many of our students, teachers, and graduates are in the service. And, War Bulletins state that more than 80 per cent of this year's graduates will be in the armed forces at this time in l944. Good luck to all of them. We'll show those enemies you can't fool with America. With M. R. H. represented out there, this war is sure to be shortened! enior erdona ified JUNE BURKARTZ OUTSTANDING Z SCHOLARS ELMER BROXVN This book Iarnin' goes to Runners Up: your head.

They have earned all our praise and lusty three cheers. Enough said-let them speak for them- selves! 'T .,x Fnnlhall .S-Tana! Ly for .fdcfion We want a touchdown! We want a touchdownf! shouted many excited fans. And, Maplewood Varsity came through with two scoring runs to win over Chami- nade in the first game of the season! That was only the beginning! With each succeeding game our excite- ment grew by leaps 'n' bounds! This sea- son ended in gloom, occasioned by a close Pge46' loss to our traditionally strong rivals, University City. Just wait till next year! At their last meeting the boys voted Alva Clark the most valuable player on the 1942 Varsity team. Other special honors were given to Sexton, Mundwiller, Watzig, and Clark, since they were chosen for All-County team. Vwfatzig was named for the All-District team by leading St. Louis sports authorities. Varsity Football Awards were given to: Barnes and Shinkle fco-captainsj, Watzig, Phelan, Kelly, Vogts, Dunser, Singer, Schwartzman, Weber, Sexton, Dring, Clark, Barger, McAdow, Fink, Friedewald, Sullivan, Mundwiller, Ecoff, and Rose. Co-managers Pat Dolan and Ken Niewoehner also received emblems for their hard work. Our HB team, too, had a good season. The turn-out was larger than it has been for many years-at least, they turned out for the picture! But seriously, by the looks of the squad on the field, we can anticipate a good Varsity team next year. Their teamwork and steady improvement in their plays was very noticeable. Though they played only five games, each was packed with excitement and line playing. As a result letters were given to: Watzig, Mackey, Prince, Elliott, Juenger, Sallwasser, Pohle, Blank, Gillespie, Weber, Spitznagle, Pul- liam, Sayer, Wind, Lore, Lake, Garrett, Hencken, McEneny, Herb, Thayer, Pappas, and Goodman. Manager Nottes also re- ceived a letter for his work. Coach Rath circled the names of Mackey, Juenger, Sallwasser, Gillespie, McEneny, and Herb, as best players for the season. Here's hoping the boys keep up the good work and make next year just as successful.

As the HA squad rallied in the Sub-Regional Tourney held March 2-5, all M. R. H, was a-ditherl When our team beat the strong Bayless team, who were undefeated County champions, in- terest was aroused. In our next game it seemed that history was repeating itself, because, just as last year, we defeated Web- ster, who had previously won over us twice during the season- Our last home game marked a loss to Kirkwood. Then, we played in the semifinals at the Arena, losing to Beaumont. The excitement and suspense of it all nearly made us crazyf We certainly were proud of them for that splendid record. 41 Slattery, Hamlin, Wind, Hicks, Miller, Gatchell, Mundwiller, Dodd, Nathe and Watzig Cco-captainsb, and Dolan Cman- agerij received their letters: Sullivan and Gundelfinger received reserved letters. Slat- tery made the second team of All-County. Nice going, Les! Vv'aitf We mustn't forget that Maple- wood has a HB basketball squad, who de- serves some noticesf Before each Varsity game, out streaks the HB team for a preliminary game. These boys are con- sidered our raw products, who, through hard work and good coaching, are shaping up next year's Varsity. Their good team- work was very noticeable in the walkaway wins over Central, Blewett, and Ritenour. To close the season, they showed-up Kirkwood in a 9-27 win! For their excellent playing, letters were given to: Harviel, Greig, Cromwell, James, McEnany, Watzig, Lake and Ellis. What about a letter for the Waterboy? wee' 1 lVhaf goes up, must come downf Remember-the UXXB-I plug! Did someone say I3 was unlucky? Page 49 l Track WML!! cgflflfgif H ln Spring a young man does some fancy turning, we noticed, as our track stars went hurdling, pole vaulting, and streak- ing down the M. R. H. Hcinder lane. Each thrilling meet seemed more exciting than the last! Page 50 This year's Senior squad was made up of returning old time lettermen, former Junior tracksters, and new inexperienced recruits. Mr. Rath organized the boys and with a great deal of excellent coaching developed a fine varsity squad. The boys who were outstanding in track this year, and who contributed greatly to the squad's fine success, were: Bob Nathe, Les Dodd and Don Dahlberg, sprint: Don Sampson, distance: Roger Miller and Jack Stephens, high jump. The Hrst chance the boys had to show off their ability was the St. Louis U. High meet held on our track April lst. There was no April Pooling about our Junior Track's success! They trotted home with top honors. ln the smaller contests with the other local schools-St. Charles, Kirkwood and Webster-M. R. H. was the victor! Both Junior and Senior squads made the local headlines. After the State Outdoor contest and the St. Louis District meet, both held in the early part of May, track season closed. Letters were awarded to the outstanding men on the teams. Especially noted were the contributions of Junior track men: Bob Worstenholm, sprint: George Sall- wasser, hurdles: LeRoy Vogts, shot put, and James Muehlberg, pole vault. A Junior boy was the first this season to break a school record. LeRoy Vogts set a new high in the Junior shot put with 54 feet 4M inches. Next year those boys interested in track, who will not have reached sixteen and one-half years of age, must participate in Junior track. The older boys may go out for the Senior group. Judging from this year's successes, we can anticipate similar honors next season when the boys again don their spikes, April April April April May SENIOR SCHEDULE l-St. Louis U. High - Here May 4-C.

The battlea field is the Saratoga Bowling Allies, where every Monday evening, from 3:30 to 5:30, some of our boys engage in the an- cient, honorable game of bowling. Ap- proximately 30 fellows turned out this season, so six teams were organized: the Zermites, Holy Bowlers, Hot Shots, Fire Balls, Spit Fires, and Bowl Eggs-as good as their namesf Medals were awarded to the members of winning teams: Moran, Dapron, Robnett, Hansen, Marshall, Zerman, Bell, Stoddard, Cavanaugh, and I-Iagemann: also to Juenger and Ploussard for their good aver- ages.

They do like to play a bit roughly, though. Of course, hockey isn't a sissy's game-at least, not the way some of our team play itf Dot Magruder is famous for the manner in which she clears a path -woe be unto anything that comes in her way-even the ball! We can easily understand why they suggest that players wear shin guards. These breathless females, in blue jeans and plaid shirts, clubs in hand, were a common sight on the field this fall.

I, Saratoga, here we comefn Everyone, make way for the lady Atlases, and give them plenty of roomf When they throw that bowling ball, the pins take to the air. Each Wednesday afternoon the group meets at the alleys at about 3:30. They bowl until 5:00, and in that time they make some scores even the boys would envy. Of course, the purpose of the club is not to engage in competitive inter-high school matches, but to give its members valuable practice games. From the begin- ning of the season they realized the group was too small to have many organized teams, so, instead, the girls decided to have individual competition. The outstanding bowlers are Betty Miller, Doris Abernathy, Joan Parker, and Patsy Wulfmeier. Cften the girls tried to go down the alley with their balls, but gravity was against them, and kept bowling them over! Girls' Basketball llHllJiI'lg Swissshf Another basket for the girls' team. The score really rises when these lassies get on the court. All season has been devoted to inter- class tourneys. The four class teams and the Varsity had some close games. At the first of the year many girls came out on Tuesdays and Fridays to try to make the class and Varsity teams and thereby earn points for their G. A. A, membership and athletic letters. We asked l'Coach Boehm who, in her opinion, were the best Varsity players and her emphatic answer was, Ward, White, Stewart, Baker, and Gremaud did them- selves proudY These girls and the rest of the team played well in close Webster games. Their teamwork and enthusiasm was outstanding. The season ended in March, but wait until next year, when our basketball beauties start to sink 'em again! Its a loss-up. THU!!! HO!

Hfs men-of-might to bring home the precious bacon. They are the Missouri State Champions, the pride of all the school! After a very successful season, in which they had only one very close loss, which was to Ritenour, the team faced the all-state tournament. Because of the War, and lack of adequate trans- portation, the schools decided to accept our invitation to hold the meet here in the gymnasium. So, on February 19-20, state wide entries fought to be the top man. The contest was opened to the public. School Was dismissed early Friday so that everyone could attend. Ten of our grapplers entered, and five of them captured state titles. Indi- vidual Championship Arm Plaques were given to Champions: Bill Fink, Carl Jennings, Charles Boggs, Don Sampson, and Jack Kelly, who really knew how to make their opponents say A'unclel First Row: Boggs, Eg' k, Del Plz' , Iennings, S,gq,p.sn.u.

Varsity letters were given to LeRoy Vogts, Frank Werthmuel- ler, Charles Greenig, and to the team man- ager, Harry Spitznagle. One odd trick of fate, which aided the team's victory, concerns our Heavyweight Champion, Carl Jennings. He was for- merly a Ritenour wrestler, but last fall Carl entered M. R. H. and joined our team. In winning he defeated a Ritenour boy, who was his former teammate! With Jennings, Ritenour might have won the Missouri State Championship, for they were next runners-up. Instead, Maple- wood was the victor. We must live right, because we receive such w o n d e r f u 1 Hbreaksln The boys all deserve our heartiest con- gratulations for their never say die fight- ing spirit. But, most of all, we feel the hats should be doifed to the best man on the team-Coach Del Pizzo-he's tops!

Someday these jingle jangle jingles may lead to great fame for our Keats-Shelley proteges. Many of these future Poet Pge 60 Laureates have already made a name for themselves by having their poems published in the High School Anthology of Poetry, a book assembled annually from the best poetry written by high school students. The club's meetings are quite unusual and informally conducted. They meet two evenings a month at some members home, and fill up with reasoning rhyme and edibles sublime. During the evening they settle the weighty problems of the world. Someday we can say, We knew them when rhyme had no reason! Pinstrum .S7I9eaL MP, W, Wyan .I 'iKnock, knock! Who's there?

Clncidentally, the gavel fell apart after the fourth meetinglj This year was again successful for our soap-box orators, who received first places galore in Clayton, Jennings, Webster, Granite City, St. Charles, and home speech contests. Presiding as chairman of all-school as- semblies and appearing on two line broad- casts, offered Rostrumers a chance to obtain valuable experience. In addition, several members of the group have appeared on programs at various community meetings of Kiwanis, Rotary, and Optimist organi- zations.

What brought all this on? Well, you see, these two are the reigning majesties of this year's G. R. Backward Dance. lt was an after-school affair, given Decem- ber 7th+admission, one twenty-five cent defense stamp. They took in enough to buy an eighteen-seventy-five bondl We'll Remember Pearl Harbor, and the surprised look on Cliffls face when he was crownedl The club's Freshman Girl Welcomes always start off the bewildered group in a fine fashion. Other activities for the year were Tri-City and Forest Park hikes, a week-end at Montebello Y-Camp, and the public Recognition Service, April 14-th. Also, the girls devoted time to hospital and Junior Red Cross work. These Liberty Belles may win this war single-handed! Page 62 Hey! Le! us see, too, Bill! Lens uf Science lgegufar Tiff - H195 U! Oh, Come All Ye Scientists to the weekly meetings of our Lavoisier Chap- ter of the Junior Academy of Science. l-lere's a good chance for all you students, who are interested in any phase of Biology, Photography, Zoology, Botany, and Physics, to develop a better acquaintance with the sciences, as well as to begin an interesting hobby. Theres never a dull moment in their midst-when the Einsteins aren't per- forming operations on some poor, defense- less rats and insects, they are attending informative lectures at Washington U., or going on held trips to look for new dis- section victims. Again this year the group has entered some of its projects in the Washington U, Science Exhibit. From all evidences we see that these potential scientists are suc- ceeding in having a good time as they achieve their aim toward a further appre- ciation of all the brain-teasing sciences. G.

Each year, in order to stimulate interest in ath- letics, they give five-year complimentary athletic passes to Senior letter men, so that they may return for all games during that time. As in previous years, the Club again sponsored the fall Football Dance, where a Hgood time was had by all. This is the group that decides and rules on the eligibility of teams for com- petitive games. They had some trouble at the Faculty vs. I-Ii-Y basketball game, where Club members officiated.

They are really good at hitting that Zfl 6 Bull's-eye. ln a mid-season National Rifle Association postal match, the team placed 22nd out of a field of 500 entries. Nice fireworks! On Tuesdays and Thursdays the club fires at its own range, which is in the attic of the Valley School. At the beginning of the season, two teams were formed-one for the beginners, and the other for the more experienced members. Later in the year, they became one team. When war declared a shortage on am- munition, the team was afraid its days were over: but the governments desire to encourage marksmanship in high school teams enabled them to get all the ammuni- tion they needed. Of course, the boys fur- nish their own rifles. All of them, includ- ing Mr. Kemper, seem to have fun getting ready on the firing line! HI-Y OFFICERS RIFLE CLUB OFFICERS CARI.

A silence follows their sudden rise to view, then, their first breath-taking note reaches your ears. Can this be Heaven? You then realize that the choir has worked long and hard on their selections. At the first of the season their director, Mr. Best, left to work for his Master's Degree, and returned three months later. The Christmas Concert was their first public appearance. That was followed by a program for a Missouri State Parent Teachers Meeting. On March 28th they sang at a U. S. O. Open House-food and fun! The U. City Contest rating, re- ceived April Znd, was very good. The Spring Concert gave the choir a real chance to strut their stuff. It's a good thing that those robes cover the soloist's kneesfthey were knocking like castanets! liirls' Glen Eluh gjmlahcuiei on fda Hgdaenf Sing out, girls--sing out, quoth Mrs. Drain evermore. Then, the girls burst forth in melody that makes you want to sing, too. Everyone commented, after the Cilee Club's performance at our annual Musical Assembly, March 30th, that it has never sounded quite as good as it does this year. An added attraction is their trio, quartet, and sextet, which make you think that Heaven is comin' close to you. Their contest records at the University City contest, on April 2, were very good this season. The numbers they sang at the Christmas Concert and Spring Music Concert were well accepted by the appre- ciative audiences. You could hear them vocalizing every Monday after school-they made the sweet notes just bounce off the rafters as they do-me-fa-do'd. They just 'Amake such wonderful music together. Ready lor the big show? Leis go now. 'lelhhhhlvhhhhhh Page 71 Hand Q2 WCHIJQJ, j0g2lAEI' With a boom of drums, a crash of the cymbals, and the noisy peep of the piccolo, the band played on! We were especially proud of them this yearAthey sounded so good, despite the fact that they had to practice before school, instead of having class time for it. Every morning at eight o'clock, when most of us were yawning our way to school, this group was getting Page 72 a workout! They show good returns for their early to rise efforts. At the football games last fall they always marched during the half. We mar- veled at the way in which they avoided colliding as they did their formations! The program for the Spring Concert was most unusual - from overture to variations of Three Blind Micenl Even the hepcats in the audience enjoyed that. We recommend to those of you who want to make with the music - Be there when they strike up the M. R. H4 Band!

Oh, for the woes of an orches- tra player. Every morning they go through the routine of blowing dust off their instru- ments, looking hurriedly for misplaced music, then tunelessly tuning upl Sounds very confusing, until the TAPI TAPI of the baton calls them to work. Though this year they have not par- ticipated in the usual number of assembly programs, we still know they're good. Anyone who passes room No. 5 first hour every morning, can get an excellent free concert-just for the listening.

This season the group had only two inter - high school tournaments, which were with Clayton and Soldan.

In its effort to create a real interest and appreciation for mathe- matics, a science too often considered dull and stuffy, this club plans programs for its bimonthly meetings, including talks by the members and outside speakers on perplexing math problems, new puzzles, and brain twisters. Also, movies and games provide further entertainment. Every 'iproblemn child looks like he's having a good time whenever we pass No. 208 on a Friday after school. Only senior math students and selected junior math students are eligible for membership, and as you can see, there's a good turn-out, probably due to Mrs. Dana's kind hospitality - she lures them in with boxes of delicious candy!

A great distinction has been bestowed upon these upper' classmen. for they have been chosen by the faculty as the most well-rounded stu- dents in their class, and are considered out- standing in scholarship, leadership, char- acter, and service. The impressive semieannual candlelight initiations are always witnessed by proud, beaming relatives and student friends, who are certain, just as we are, that here are the future leaders of our country as well as the present leaders of our school. The excellent sponsorship by Miss Barkley and Miss Sharp has inspired its members to higher attainments, We're expecting great things from our fellow Torchies in the not too-distant future.

As you turn these pages, We ask only that you . . . remember. WW V I i Page 80 joofdaf QCLIQCQ All Hail the l943 M. R. H. Gridiron Queen, Miss Mildred Jackson. She won the hearts and votes of our 'ipigskin heroes for their choice as reigning monarch of the Football Dance, held Saturday evening, December 6th, It was not the usual formal affair, since the boys de- cided it would be more patriotic to cut down as much as possible on the ever-mounting eX- penses. The decorations were simple, but very eHec- tive, Our symbolic blue and white bedecked the gym, transforming it into a gay, delightful scene, Streamers and a large were back- ground for the throne, from which the retiring queen, Miss Adrienne Will, summoned her court of four special maids and the new queen. Miss Jane Kelly, freshman, Miss Marjorie Rose, sophomore: Miss Dolores Klimek, junior, and Miss Martha Le Resche, senior, took their places in the royal scene. Then the spotlight turned to the far end of the floor, revealing M. R. H.'s new queen of Love and Beauty, who ascended the throne to begin her reign for 1943-44, Following this procession, Charles-Barnes, one of the team's honorary co-captains, and Miss Jackson began the gala evening of dancing to the tunes of Martin Alexander's fine or- chestra. 'After the ball everyone happily left, dreaming of our beautiful queen's return next year for a similarly successful night. mmf gm Football Queen unior- enior rom MONCE upon a time there was a beautiful queen. Thus. begin all fairy tales, and, so might begin our memories of that dream-like March 6th Saturday night. That was the date of our Junior-Senior Prom, and the beautiful queen was her Royal Highf ness, Evelyn White. Looking back, now, we can remember each moment of it .-.. My, how we danced that eveningl Martin AleXander's music was so wonderful that everyone had a good timel We scarcely recognized the gym with its canopy of red, white, and blue streamers, twisting toward the large cluster of white stars on a Held of blue. At the far end, surrounded by the colorful flags of the United Nations, an American Elag, made from tiny paper clusters, was background for the highly tiered throne. Junior president, Bud Brown, announced the procession ol' twelve ribbon-bearers: the Misses Mary Lou Welsh, Mary Henley, Dorothy Linberg, Delores Benson, Marian Heutel, Lois Niederloh, Betty Goldzier, Delores Klimek, Joy Wolff, Mary Hawley, Jackie Lang, and Evelyn Wolf, who made way for the retiring queen, Miss Betty Broderick, and her court. She then graciously received the six Junior maids: the Misses Barbara Townsend, La Veryn Ray, Margie Verser, Delores Costello, Audrey Press, Dorothy Gray, and her two special Senior maids, the Misses Mildred Jack- son and Betty Finger, To the appropriate strains of 'Sophistif cated Lady , Miss Evelyn White was summoned as new queen of the festivities. After her regal appearance, we close this reverie with the hope that everyone lives happily ever after in true story- book fashion! ge 82 1 my gfefyn miie Junior-Senior Prom Ifjueen l Page 84 enior ance A Hnight of memories and of sighs, a night to be remembered . Yes, May 29th was just that kind of evening. That was our fare- well Senior Dance. Blue and white streamers and maple leaves were in profusion midst the courtly scene. Miss Earline Mueller, retiring queen, summoned to her court the special attendants: Miss Sue Hamlin, freshman: Miss Eileen Costello, sophomore: Miss Delores Costello, junior, and Miss Clee Kinkead, senior, Last to appear was the new ANNUAL Queen, Miss Betty Finger, who ascended her maple leaf throne to begin her 1943-44 reign. Ralph Watzig, senior class president, and the new queen began the gala evening of dancing to the tunes of Ralph Koenigs orchestra. Thus, the class of '43 closes its date book with an event which will live long in our memories. L - fi, V 321325.

Backward Dance. It was very confusing. Imagine, the boys went 'iabout face , and acted coy, while the girls did the cutting, paid the bills, and furnished the corsages. Many of the corsages, we noticed, partially disap- peared during the evening. It seems the boys enjoyed tasting the gumdrop, pepper- mint, chewing gum, and cigarette ingre- dients more than looking at them. The gym was decorated in honor of the Easter eve occasion. Crepe paper, spring flowers, and new Easter outfits were in profusion. The highlight of the evening was the coronation of the 'ibackwardn royalty. A blare of trumpets announced the appear- ance of Freshman jack, Charles Austin. Next, Bob Sullivan, Sophomore jack, ran to the throne! Junior jack, Don Samp- son, skipped swiftly down the floor to the strains of Mendelssohn's i'Spring Song . Senior, Jack Kelly, next took his place at the throne. Each of the boys carried beau- tiful bestreamered lollipop bouquets! Suddenly, there was a tearing noise. Everyone jumped and stared unbelievingly at the throne. There was a foot waving through the huge Easter egg: then, an arm -oh, the king, Ralph Watzig. Amid great applause, he was crowned with a lovely Easter bonnet . Dancing was then resumed to the tunes of Don Brindley's orchestra. The Easter parade was over! Pg 86 7 Umm, X itamin D, More kicks A lady? coming! milf!- Heel, Toe Improves and l with age, mcg..
