WT. -V ltltlltfltltll We, the staff, present this l947 issue of the Reflector with the desire that this volume shall serve as a cherished record of all those wonderful times spent at Mehl-Hy. Although the passing of time may dim many of the achieve- ments, activities, and acquaintances of our youth, there is much that We shall want to remember. 4 The Wild rush to classes after the tardy bell has ceased to ring, the turbulent fear of examinations and the hilarious rejoic- ing when they have been completed, the elation of being a Iunior, the manifold pleasures of becoming a Senior, the intense stillness when report cards are delivered, the voicing of good bye to our teachers and classmates on the last day of school, the receiving of diplomas on graduation eve-these are the things which Mehlville High means to us. We know that we shall never forget this school, because here we have lived and revelled in an atmosphere redolent with those roseate charms that have gilded our brief existence with imperishable joys.

To you, our future students, we dedicate this an- nual, and may you, as we, always regard this book with pride and may it always kindle within you a radiant glow for your Alma Mater. Page Five At the close of another successful season, our troop honors Mr. Bernard, who has been the leading man for thirty-four years. He has served us faithfully from the time the show was organized until today when we have hundreds of students on our list of members. In order to prepare himself for so gigantic a task Mr. Bernard spent many years in study so that he might one day pass his knowledge along to us. After graduating from Oakville QW mlrector MR. BIERBAUM As the last act draws to a close, and the curtain comes down for one more year, we say Well Done to Mr. Bierbaum, our director. He has shouldered many responsibilities, and to him goes the credit of another successful year. Mr. Bierbaum attended Warrensburg State Teachers' College. From McKendree College he received his A. B. in Mathematics and from Vtfashington University he received his A. M. in Education. This year, as last, Mr. Bierbaum has suc- cessfully filled the position as co-ordinator of the lunchrooms in the three schools of Mehl- ville School District. Mr. Bierbaum has given us all the assist- ance and encouragement within his power in our daily procedures at school. Pngv S 063861 CUZ MR. BERNARD School he attended St. Pau1's Parochial School for one year. The next two years found him at Perkinson Herple Commercial College. He enrolled at Southeast Missouri Teachers' Col- lege, graduating with a B. Ph. Degree, and completed his education at Missouri University and Washington University. Although many are eagerly awaiting a re- turn engagement, the presentation will not be- gin until next September. if rigin of cslclzoof mistrict 0 Tnelzlvifle A meeting of the householders of St. john District Township 44 was convened this 31st day of December l84l for the purpose of selecting the officers for conducting the concerns of a school. Mr. Green Parke stated that three trustees and one clerk had to be elected at this meeting. FIRST: Mr. George Mehel, Director for this Dis- trict, proposed Iohn Gerber, M. D., to be the Clerk for the ensuing year. Mr. Franz Rothenbucker seconded the proposal, which was approved unanimously. SECOND: By a majority of votes the following gentlemen were elected trustees of the school in this district: Messrs. Franz Rothenbucker, Henry Muller and Philip Crecelius. THIRD: As collector was nom- inated Mr. Green Parke. A special meeting of the trustees of St. Iohn District was convened at Mr. Green Parke's residence this l5th day of Ianuary l843 to take into consideration the most central spot in the district for building a school house. The trustees, Messrs. Rothen- bucker, Heinrick Muller and Philip Crecelius, were all present. According to a majority of votes of the householders of said district expressed at their late meeting not to build the school house on land claimed by the town of Carondelet. The trustees at their meeting this day resolved first-to proceed looking about for the most central part of this district within the line excluding Carondelet claim. Second-that in the event Carondelet claim should at any time be annulled and settled as the remainder of this district now is, it be then left to the majority of the Votes of the trustees to remove said house to the then most central part of the district, if they then find it necessary. The trustees, after look- ing at different places, fixed upon a spot on Mr. Green Parke's land. Mr. Green Parke readily offered gratuit- ously one acre for that purpose as long as the same shall be used for the purpose of holding school there- ony also reserving the timber now standing on said land. Fourth-the house shall be built either of log or frame, what- ever be cheapest, and given to build to the lowest bidder. The house is to be eighteen by twenty feet wide and not under nine feet high in the clear with four windows, each having twelve lights eight by twenty inches, one common door three by seven feet, and a small chimney filling for a stove pipe from the center of the top floor extending two feet outside beyond the roof. ...ausvws A special meeting of the trustees of St. Iohn District No. 4, Township 44, of St. Louis County, was convened at Ionah Parke on the 8th of April, 1844, to make an agreement with Mr. Berry to teach in our school for the space of three months at S20 per month.

The tirst and third Mondays ot each month these seven men assemble to look after the property and personnel of our spacious school district, and to secure any pos- sible advantages for us. Because of them, great care has been taken in the arrangement of the school curriculum that such branches as should be found to be of the greatest advantage to the greatest num- ber should be most diligently studied. No pains have been spared to make the course of study and the plan of its pursuit all that it should be in every well-regulated institution. lt is with extreme gratitude that we, the students of Mehlville High School, salute our school board. ! t i I Loft to right: Illr.

ORLAND WOODS In the fall of 1939, Mr. Woods started teaching in the Ava Consolidated School system. He left Ava in 1942 and spent the next three and one-half years working in defense plants in Ohio and Missouri. ln the fall of 1945, he started teaching at Mehlville High, where he taught general science, chemistry, biology, and physics and here he remains. BAN DMASTER MR. WILLIAM SCHMIDT Most of Mr. Schmidt's schooling was obtained in South St. Louis. He graduated from Lyon Elementary School and Grover Cleveland High School. Further study was delayed for thirteen years, during which time he earned valuable experience in the business world with his dad sewing in the capacity of teacher. He then entered Culver-Stockton College in Canton, Missouri, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree in the field of music along with speech and dramatics as his minor subjects. Uncle Sam interrupted his plans for further study, but he offered him a different phase of education while serving him in the Southwest Pacific for forty-five months. On his return to civilian life he enjoyed a summer refresher course at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, in the field of sacred and public school music. BAREBACK RIDER MRS. VIRGIL POLLEY Years ago at the tender age of twenty, Mrs. Polley began her career here as a Molder of Young Minds. Prior to that, her mind had been molded at three institutions, name- ly: Pierre Laclede Grade School, Frank Louis Soldan High, and William Torrey Harris Teachers' College. After a two year struggle, she left this high calling for another less exacting position. It was during this period of her existence that she changed her title from Miss to Mrs. Unable to bear the separation any longer, she finally decided to end it all and returned to Mehlville High last fall. However, her stay will be terminated at the end of this year as she plans to move to New York in lune. TICKET MANAGER MRS. IOHN WELTY After receiving a Bachelor of Science Degree in Educa- tion from Ohio State University, Mrs. Welty began her teaching career in Delaware, Ohio, at the same high school from which she graduated. She gained further teaching experience in Shreveport, Louisiana, Denver, Colorado, and at Cleveland High School in St. Louis, before coming to Mehlville, where she is teaching Freshmen and Sophomore English. At the present time she is continuing her education by working for a master's degree in English at Washington University. I MANAGER S SECRETARY MISS DELORES MEYER In l944, Miss Meyer graduated from Mehlville High School. After this she took a business course at Missouri Busi- ness School. The fall of 1945 brought Miss Meyer back to Mehlville as our able and attractive secretary. BARKER AT TI-IE SIDE SHOW MR. PAT BLALOCK A native of the blue-grass state, Kentucky, Mr. Blalock, who is teaching seventh and eighth graders at Mehlville, received the first portion of his advanced education at Murray State College where he received an A. B. in Chem- istry. Mr. Blalock continued his schooling in graduate work at the University of Missouri, and then began his teaching career in New Madrid County, where he taught for four years, and later at Leadwood for two years. From l94Z-45, he sailed with the Merchant Fleet, and the fall of 1946 brought him to Mehlville. TICKET MANAGER MRS. VERNON BARRETT After attending Northwest Missouri State Teachers' Col- lege for two years, Mrs. Barrett enrolled in Missouri Uni- versity. While attending the University, she became a member of Pi Lambda Theta, national honorary educational sorority. She graduated with a B. S. in Education. After teaching in the high school at Corning, Missouri she was married and moved to St. Louis. Until 1943 she was a housewife. At that time the shortage of teachers and the course of the draft indicated that she should return to her former occupation. For two years she taught in the St. Louis Public School System, and then in the fall of 1945 she be- came a member of the Mehlville faculty. SCRIPT PROOFREADER MRS. WILLARD CHAMBERS Mrs. Chambers, our advanced English and Latin teacher, received her B. S. in Education from Northeast Missouri Teachers' College at Kirksville, Missouri. Other institutions she attended are Drake University at Des Moines, Iowa, William Iewell College at Liberty, Missouri, and the Uni- versity of Missouri at Columbia, Missouri. PROPERTY MAN MR. RALPH GENTRY Mr. Gentry received his B. S. at Cape Girardeau State College and an A. M. at Missouri University. lust recently he attended the University of Minnesota for more advanced work. The year 1945 brought him to Mehlville High, where he has been for the past two years showing students the whys and wherefores of shop work. OUR LEADING CLOWN MR. BYRON BOYER Very early in life, Mr. Boyer chose teaching as his pro- fession. After fifteen years of work with boys and girls he is still happy in his chosen profession. He has been asso- ciated with the Mehlville High School for the past six years. To prepare himself for the gigantic task, he attended Cape Girardeau State Teachers' College, Warrensburg, and Missouri University Graduate School. GYMNASTIC EXHIBITIONIST MR. HERB VAN DEVEN Our new coach, Mr. Van Deven, graduated from Norm- andy High School in 1938. His studies were continued when he attended St. Louis University, graduating in 1943. After serving three years in the Armed Forces, he re- turned to his Alma Mater to teach for one semester. The fall of '46 brought him here to Mehlville. COSTUME DESIGNER MISS ELIZABETH MCDONALD Two campuses have been the center of most of Miss McDonald's activities - that of Southeast Missouri State College, where she received most of her formal education - elementary, secondary, and college, and Mehlville High School, where she has been teaching for the past five years. Summer sessions at the Universities of Missouri and Wisconsin bring two other campuses into the picture. She is teaching vocational home economics and art, and logically enough, she enjoys sewing and art craft in her PRETTY LADY MISS EVELYN MCDONALD Miss McDonald found her way into the halls of leam- ing here at Mehlville High School in September, l944. Her duties consist chiefly of helping students learn the tricks of operating a typewriter and the intricacies of writing and reading shorthand. Her study in preparation for this work took place at Cape State College, Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Summertime usually finds her traipsing off for further study - in re- cent years to Columbia University, New York City. leisure time.

In September, 1943, sixty-one gay and lighthearted youngsters gathered at Mehlville High School to join the four ring circus. It goes without saying that we were the Freshmen, and the whole set-up was new to us. Being all eyes and ears we soon learned what was expected of us. The trainers, the teachers, ex- plained the program to us and started us off on a lively trek to see the entire show. Miss Elizabeth McDonald and Miss Marie Cunningham were chosen as our special train- ers. Our class engaged in three gala activities, a swimming party, a skating party, and a wiener roast. Our class was large in number and varied in interests and abilities. Some joined the honor roll, some music, some athletics, and some art. All in all we had an enjoyable trip to the first ring of the circus. RING II. As we entered the second ring in the fol- lowing September, we chose a new trainer, Mr. Nathan Ficklin, who led the performers into a successful year. The main attraction of the year was the Valentine Dance. Red and white paper cov- ered the gym with hearts and cupids on the walls to add to the gaiety and color. The orchestra, which was seated on the stage surrounded by huge lace-trimmed valen- tines, played appropriate soothing music which the hearts day so definitely requires. RING III. Our first class meeting proved to us that this ring was to be by far the most eventful one, chucked full of activity. Elmer Rolf was elected president, and Mr. Byron Boyer and Miss Nancy Steel were chosen as our special trainers. Early in the school year we paid homage to our sister South of the Border country and featured a costumed Mexican Fiesta starring the talented Earl Wear as Carmen Miranda. The gym was appropriately decorated and typical Mexican food was served. We enjoyed some famous rhumbas and tangos which were a special attraction of the orchestra. Originality displayed itself in the unique idea of having a dance and box-supper with a celebrated auctioneer, Mr. Ed Wilson from KWK. The girls prepared some highly decorat- ed boxes and the boys were expected to bid on them. Mr. Boyer gave a Womanless Wedding which was a riot of fun. Everything was of the latest fashion and many girls learned how to solve their wedding difficulties. The Prom and Banquet proved to be the big social event of the year. The theme was a com- bination of a Southern Plantation with an Old Fashioned Garden. The gym, filled with flowers, shrubs, trellises, a wishing well, out- side tables, and a beautiful fountain, made the surroundings much more realistic. In this year our pride grew to a great big- ness within us, that the class began to wish for rings befitting our station: and many mes- sages were sent to the big cities and all the towns roundabout for samples of their fine jew- elry: and at last, after much considering and reconsidering, the class professed itself to be satisfied with its choice, and rings were chosen with which we rested well contented. RING IV. The fall of 1946 found dignified persons entering upon their last performance at Mehl- ville High School. This finale had to be an outstanding one, as we wanted to have so many fond and cherished memories of our Senior year. Miss Evelyn McDonald and Mr. Byron Boyer were chosen as our special trainers. At our first meeting a full program was planned. The main event of the year was the Carnival, sponsored by the Iunior and Senior classes. It was a great success from all points of view. We will never forget the sore fingers, the stiff backs, and the Side Shows. We came in large number to the Big Tent, the place set apart, and did eat of the good things, and did rejoice that the class of '48 gave us such a wonderful Prom and Banquet. This great class of '47 was one of much hard labor, and rested little by the wayside: for preparation had been making ready for us to take our final departure from this last ring of our high school lives. On our commencement eve men of high standing in this circus land did speak unto us Seniors words of wisdom, and of cheer, and of encouragement, and did in many feeling words say farewell to our class. We were ex- ceedingly glad that things were as they had been proclaimed and so we Seniors departed from this Big Tent, keeping constantly in mind we were coming Out of the Harbor into Deep Channels. Page Fourteen F QTMOI' 08177, Our classroom door is closing now, And we are Seniors wise: Our class is met: our task is set: A Freshman awaits our prompt replies! He holds us with a trembling handy I have a task, begs he: I really cannot understand What X plus Y may be! He gazes with an eye so wild As from a frenzied braing He begs as might a three-year's child We Seniors to explain. Seated one day in our classroom! We were then at our Sophomore ease: Our eyes wandered idly Over pages of high degrees! We knew not what we were seeking, Nor what we were studying there But our eyes fell upon one quotation That plunged us in depths of despair. You are only a tiny atom- One wee drop in the ocean of life! lt was this that crushed all of our spirits, And filled us with darkness and strife. That poisonous declaration- That miserable, wretched line, That came from the soul of some author, And entered into our minds! Between the Sophomore and Senior, In the prime of our school career, Came the time in the life of us students That was known as our funior year. A whisper, and then a silencep You can tell by our studious eyes We were studying and working together To win some alluring prize. A sudden rush from the classrooms, A quickstep march through the hall, Through every door in the building We came at the class bel1's call! We hurried into our places: We scrambled after a chair, If you tried to pass out, we surrounded you, We seemed to be everywhere, We have all the wisdom of ages, And we never will leave it behind, But will lock it away forever, ln the storehouse of our mind. ln a school not far away, We Seniors worked-as, you know, ln the most engaging way: And we Seniors lived with no other thought But to pass on Commencement Day! 'W e were so great, and we were so straight, ln that High School o'er the way, And we worked with a zeal only Seniors feel, Did we Seniors, every day: VV ith a zeal that all the students in school Were envying us, we say. And that was the reason, ln the High School o'er the way, The Powers that Be said this class must go this season We were far too wise to stay: There was nothing more for us left to know, We must pass on Commencement Day. The students, not half so wise, of course, Were envying us every one: And that is one reason fthere may be worse, But this was the way it began!! That the Powers that Be moved with mighty force That our High School work was done! And only the big world shall praise us, And only the big world shall blame, Though we work for the joy of winning, And climb up the pathway of fame. For each in his separate calling, His separate thought must express, As he follows the gleam as he sees it To the goal that to him means success.

Staff, '47 !CZ.S'.S' f.mI'OpllQCy Strange things happen to us, some- times, and mysterious gifts are apt to fall into our hands just when we least expect them. I thought I would never be surprised at anything, but when a newspaper dropped into my lap from the very air about me, I was willing to take back the rash vow I had made. lt was certainly a startling occurrence, to say nothing of my amazement when I read the name and date, Mehlville Advertiser - N o v e m b e r 30, l968. Where did it come from? What could it signify? The thought flashed a c r o s s my mind that it was to predict to some de- gree of accuracy the lives into which my classmates' personal characteris- tics and inclinations would lead them in the years that are to be. I was never one to remain long in suspense when the means of gratifying my curiosity were at hand, and I opened the paper hastily and from the records of twenty-one years yet un- born, here are some of the things I read: Across the headlines, Witzel Wins Presidential Election on the platform of re-opening prohibition. It seems that Bill Franz was one of his strongest sup- porters. I-Iow those boys must have changed! Somehow I just can't imagine that. I-Ie has given Balph Wilke, Bill Gardener, and Leonard I-Ioeffner posi- tions in his cabinet. The new Mouldy Four is as popular now as the Big Four was twenty years ago. Maxine Moore has done quite well in predicting the weather. They say she hasn't missed in over ten years. It has something to do with the way her hair curls. According to her, tomorrow is to be fair. I hope so, because it is a big day for Marilyn Schierhoff. She has become a wrestler and will try to gain the championship then. I-Ier opponent is Gloria Gardner. Should be a great fight! Violet Hoffman never could make up her mind and, consequently, it is still Miss . She has the only complete collection of salt and pepper shakers in the world and is due to exhibit them in Paris soon. Herbert Laudel and Iirnmy Meister have built one of the most gigantic en- gineering jobs of the century - a mod- ern airport on Mars. Dick Eime will fly you there in no time in his plane. Bev- erend Elmer Tanzberger is planning on starting a colony there. I believe Doro- thea Windey, Maurice Woods, and loan Schierhoff are among the first ones leaving. Arlene Iuergens and Mary lane Coco are two famous explorers. They are afraid of nothing! On one of their recent trips to Cinoda Ca new continent caused by an atomic blast and discov- ered in l958l they found George Conini. It seems he was disappointed in love and became a hermit. On the amusement page, I saw sev- eral familiar names. Florence Nichting is on the stage. Everyone swoons when she sings Tears on My Pillow. Aud- rey Bauer, too, has gained recognition by singing. But we always counted on Audrey. Page Twenty-Two !ClSS .Gbroplzecy Well, Pat Bensing is due to give an- other lecture tomorrow on Women's Rights . Ah, here's the W o m e n ' s Page. You'll pardon me but l love to read these lovelorn columns. And look who is writing it - Shirley Kolb. The first letter is from Elmer Rolf. ls he still ask- ing Shirley's advice? Here is the recipe of the day. Bo- berta Gautney figures them out in her spare time. Strong imagination - that girl. This one looks more like a sure formula for indigestion. Maybe she is working with Dorothy Stoltrnan, one of the best nurses in the country. Virginia Krueger designs clothes in New York. Today's pattern is one of her original ideas. Of course, l know this isn't her correct name any more. She eloped secretly right after gradu- ation. Walter Ludwig certainly has a large ad in the paper. The World's Largest Helicopter Station. Evelyn Uthoff is his private secretary. A permanent position, too! Glancing over the sports page l noticed Art Voerg is first baseman for the Cardinals. Several ball clubs have offered huge sums for him. Bill Keane also plays with the Cards. Remember him? Merel Meister is manager of the club and he said these two are his most valuable players. On the society page l read that Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Woker have just gone to Florida for the winter. Mrs. Woker is the former Audrey Dale. Bonnie Wood-Smith is also leaving for Europe. She has traveled more than any other woman. She owns her own plane and makes her living collecting rare butterflies. Lucy Myers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. ferry Myers, will make her debut this coming season. lt seems that ferry got all his money by inventing a new kind of pin-ball machine. Let's see. Divorces, no, but maybe marriage licenses. Yes, here is Ethel Bess. Personally, l never thought Ethel would wait this long. l-lere's the best part of the paper, the comic section. Dead-Shot Elan- negan , drawn by Bob Coleg and an- other, Mary Little, by Betty Belknap. The rest of my high school friends are on the staff. Glennon Pellet is edi- tor. I-le always was good back in sec- retarial practice class. Betty Lightfoot is working for him. She liked working on the BEFLECTOB so much, writing the copy, rushing to meet the dead- line, and urging students to get their work in on time, that she couldn't stay away even after the wedding bells chimed. Donald Heberer is in charge of all the photography for the paper. You'll remember Clarine Schmitz and Shirley Geitz - they have become two snooping reporters. Oh, yes, Betty Dud- ley, with all her mathematical genius, can tell Glennon exactly how many words will go on a line and what size to make them. So this is what has become of all my friends. For a minute, I was too astonished and kept glancing over the paper unable to believe it. Suddenly somebody nudged me, Wake up, Mrs. Polley is watching you. Asleep in study hall, again!

And it came to pass, as we did enter this land, that we were received with wild welcom- ings and reioicings by those who it was de- creed should henceforth lead us up the slip- pery by-ways of knowledge. Likewise it came to pass that we were received with malicious glee by a certain band of Wild beings who were called Sophomores, and who because of their fierce taste for Fresh- man blood, did pounce upon us daily and nightly, and did cause us to suffer great things. Qur class that year was conducted and man- aged well by the following officers: Ioe Frank as presidentg Don Williams, vice-president: Wilma Winheim, secretary: Totsy Rauhut, treasurer: and Mrs. Sarah Krebs and Mr. D. Evans served as our sponsors. The main event and attraction that year was a May Dance with the May Queen, Miss Verdell Rick, being elected from our class. 4 Exactly one year later we returned to school to complete the second of our four years of high. We remembered the days of our own greenness, and as the Sophomores had done unto us, we did unto these new Freshmen. We showed no mercy unto their sufferings, and no heed unto their lamentations, until all were bruised with much sorrow. It was a promising and successful year, under the guidance of our sponsor, Mr. Orland Woods, and our class officers, who were Ioe Frank as president: Hubert Frank, vice-president: Wilma Winheim, secretary, and Totsy Rauhut, as treasurer. Under their leading guidance we gave a suc- cesssful roller-skating party and Christmas Dance. To our class that year Miss Totsy Rauhut brought great renown when she was elected Reflector Queen of l946. This year as Iuniors we returned to school, with a few of our past friends missing from our list, but we also found there were new mem- bers to be added to it. Working diligently in our studies and showing much progress, we successfully gave the Hayseed Howl and a Carnival with the Senior Class. Renown was again brought to our class when Miss Verdell Rick was crowned Carnival Queen. The leading officers who have guided us this year are: lean Delaney, presidentp Don 'Williarns, vice-presidentg Totsy Rauhut, secre- tary, and George Aff, treasurer. We were happy to elect this year as our sponsors, Miss Elizabeth McDonald and Mrs. Vernon Barrett, who have helped us considerably in every way possible. Basketball seems to be a favorite sport to Ioe Frank, Don Williams, and Philip Heitz, for they have served on the B team and are now on the A. As our Senior year approaches we hope that with the wonderful guidance, such as we have had these past three years, we may set forth an even better record. Page Twenty-Six Star questriennes SOPHOMORE HISTORY Last year we, as Freshmen, in the green time of our lives, entered Mehlville High. We, so green and sweet in our dewy innocence, received at this time the first seeds of knowl- edge. At this time we chose as our motto, The Door to Success is Labeled Push, and Mrs. Roland Fowler was elected as our guid- ing light. It was on the eve of Ianuary l2, l946, that we witnessed the results of hours of salesman- ship, for our Backward Dance was truly suc- cessful. This year we found the skies so much bluer and sweeter and the sun shone more warmly upon us. We struck our heads high enough to see nearly as much of it as we imagined we could. We held our heads very high and we kept the stalks that supported them very straight. They were not yet very heavy with the accumulation of wisdom and so they did not droop with the weight. We were slowly but surely coming out into the light of day only to discover, We were neither man nor woman: We were neither brute nor human: We were merely Sophs! So with this we needed greatly and quickly the guidance of sponsors and because of this we elected the capable faculty members, Mr. Orland Woods and Mr. Herbert Van Deven. ln the athletic field the names of Bob Alex- ander, Don Belknap, Glenn Erb, Tom Klink- hardt, Carl Stiebel, Ray Hanbeck, Iohn Hicks, Dorothy Eckerle, LaVerne Ferbet, and Iune Franke might easily and most likely appear in sparkling neon lights. Some of us are regretting the dead delight of our verdant days, while others are looking ahead, longing for the new domain where we, as Iuniors, will rule so royally.

Pagv Tlzirfy-0110 R ight mope Walkers FRESHMAN Hisromf September 3, 1946, was a memorable day for the Fresh- man Class. We started high school! There were seventy-seven of us as We trooped in with heads high. But as we came to know the upper classmen at Mehl-Hy we have never failed to tiptoe by them with frightened faces and trembling limbs, which helped to soothe the Senior's vanity to no small extent. We lived in constant fear of every other class in the school, but especially of our avowed enemies, the heartless and unfeeling Sophomores. We were very fortunate indeed to have Mrs. Willard Chambers and Mr. William Schmidt as our sponsors and Dick Moersh as class president, Myrtle Kuntz as vice-president, Marilyn Altenbernd as secretary: Lina Williams as treasurer: Bill Nelson as king, and Lina Williams as queen. We chose Dixie Lee Hogan and Bill Altenbernd as our Lion Tamers to represent the Freshman class on the Student Council. Con- gratulations are certainly in order for the four members of our class, Bill Nelson, Bill Altenbernd, Ralph Miller, and Harold Heitz, who displayed their ability in basketball and were chosen to play on Mehlville's B team. On February 15, 1947, We gave our outstanding event of the year, the successful and enjoyable St. Valentine's Dance. We are proud to state we are one of the largest Freshman classes ever to enroll at Mehlville High School. Speaking for my classmates, we hope our second year will pass as happily as the one we look back upon.

These four staff members receive the large portion of the credit, or blame, for the Reflectorg nevertheless it Was the following staff mem- bers who lent their ability to produce an enjoy- able annual. ferry Blumenfeld, a musical veteran, pre- cisely portrayed the musical life at Mehlville. Pat Bensing accepted the opportunity to reflect her literary ability as Literary Editor, and Bob Alexander presented his exclusive delivery of Mehlville Sports. The various classes were represented by Marilyn Schierhoff, Eileen Rauhut, Kathleen Neuwirth, and Charles Gosney, who submitted the historical aspects of their respective classes. Life at Mehlville was depicted with slight exaggeration by Shirley Kolb and Virginia Krueger, as their cartoons confess. Don Heb- erer, our photographer, could not exaggerate NI-Dflifffllf ll 0rkm's however, for pictures don't lie. Audrey Dale, Roberta Gautney, and Betty Belknap gave wings to their time by typing the literary masterpieces contained in this l947 Reflector. incidentally, if you detect a slight tint of humor in this Reflector, it may be attributed to Merel Meister.

The class is conducted somewhat like a regular newspaper staff. Each month there is a different editor who shoulders the complete responsibility of the printing of that issue. After the final check by Miss McDonald, the copy is turned over to the manager of the page on which it is to appear. This per- son sets all copy on a dummy page and from that the stencil is cut. Before a stencil is run off on the mirneograph, it is proofread for typographical errors. The pages are then ready to be mimeographed and assembled, ready for distribution. Each issue consists of a cover, the design for which is drawn by one of the students, and usually a minimum of five pages.

Various types of assemblies were planned during the year. Outside entertainment was furnished by an Indian on one occasion, by a magician on another, and also by the Cleve- land High School band. The students enjoyed these assemblies, which proved educational as Well as entertaining. The Christmas Assembly included carol- singing by the girls' chorus classes and also by the entire student body. Especially humor- ous was their version of Oh Tannenbaumf' After the singing there was an exchange of gifts in which all participated. It was also the duty of the Student Body Officers to meet with the Student Council. The two groups worked jointly on almost every- thing. To their successors they leave their best wishes.

The very Words of our chairman, Arthur Voerg. The vice-chairman, Glennon Pellet, and the secretary, Pat Bensing, glance around the group taking a quick look at the members. Hmm-it seems the student body officers also met with our Tamers this year. The council and a committee of teachers planned the assembly programs during the entire year. Among the assemblies was a Christmas As- sembly highlighted by a Christmas tree unique- ly decorated, a musical program, and an ex- change of gifts. Under the able guidance of Mr. Bierbaum, the council brought about a few changes in the school routine. During the year the council was given charge of the order in the cafeteria and the halls. The instructions given the students about these functions helped to enable them to better the neatness of the school. The Lion Tamers give thanks to our ex- cellent sponsor, Mr. Bierbaum, and to the many teachers Whose interests and guidance helped us better the student life at Mehlville High School. The Lion Tamers in Svssiun Page Tlzirly-Ninn' Tlzt' Leading flltlllt Qasketoaff The Mehlville Panthers finished the 46-47 Sea- son with a record that left rnuch to be desired in the light of games won and lost. This year, as last, they started the season off with three quick victories, one of them against Bayless, the top team of the county. Then it happened. With the loss of our captain and star forward, Arnold Woker, the team seemed slumped as it was defeated time after time. Later, Look at tlzatSl11ggcr! Page Forty with the doctor's permission, he played the rest of the season, but couldn't seem to regain his natural form. The Seven Iron Men, as they were called by Coach Van Deven, continued and there was still plenty of scrap in them when the final buzzer sounded. The season's record was 3 wins against l6 defeats. Even though the losses were numerous many of the scores were close and the team gained valuable experience, and not once did they falter under the towering height of the opposing team. The high scoring honors went to Bill Keane with l22 points, and loe Frank with lU4 points. The letter men this year are Arnold Woker, Bill Keane, Ioe Frank, Bob Alexander, Mel Mason, Carl Stiebel, Philip Heitz, This year we had the services of a sophomore, Mel Mason, playing regular center. There will be a bright looking future for next year with five varsity men, Alexander, Frank, Mason, Stiebel, and Heitz, returning. dS86Clll In view of the fact that the Reflector goes to press before the first scheduled game, we are unable to give you an account of the baseball season of l947 in the light of games won and lost. Champions of '46, the Mehlville nine have high hopes of repeating their success in '47 with the able assistance of new coach Mr. Van Deven, Due to graduation, Mehlville will have to fill the shoes of her former catcher-captain, Andy Ruf. Included among the '47 baseball squad are seven returning lettermen. lnfielders-Voerg, Keane, and Stiebelg Pitchers-Woker and Alexander, and Outfielders-Frank and Belknap. With this basis of power and experience, Mehlville will undoubtedly finish the season with a record as good, if not better, than last year's record of 8 victories and 8 defeats, the majority of the defeats being non-league games.

The team looked great in the scrimages against one another, but seemed to lose its stuff in the first real competition against Han- cock. As a result the score was Hancock 58, Mehlville 8. By the time the next game was scheduled with Hancock some of the veterans from last year's team regained their playing ability and made a much better showing, losing to them by only 31 to 22. The team had a few spikemen, one as good as the other. Virginia Krueger and loyce Reich were among the most prominent. The team enjoyed playing Volleyball un- der the supervision of their coach, Mrs. Virgil Polley. The prospects for next year's team are bright with the new freshmen coming in and several Veteran Iuniors. Heres to the luck of the future girls' volleyball team.

M'CUS nQQ4'fOI'47'LQ4'S THE DRAMATlCS CLUB Jvrry - Our IVTIIIICI' The Speech and Dramatics group enjoyed a very full and entertaining year under the able guidance of Mr. William Schmidt. Like the previous speech classes our oratorical elimination contest was eagerly anticipated. 'When the big day came and they awaited the name of the winner, it was announced as lerry Blumenfeld. Ierry participated in the District Contest held in our own auditorium. The group gave The Christmas Carol in which the class was divided into pairs and each pair acted as a director, electrician, prop- erty man or stage manager and hands. During the second semester three one-act plays were given in which the class itself portrayed the characters of the plays. With the aid of influential friends of the theatre world, Mr. Schmidt and the class mem- bers had many unusual and exciting outside activities. They, as a group, visited the Com- munity Play l-louse, watching a performance and also watching a rehearsal. They also took a tour of a professional theatre workshop which they found very educational and interesting. ln the latter part of the year they went to the American Theatre where they went backstage, investigated backdrops, scenery, props and stars' dressing rooms. The class activities of this group were thor- oughly enjoyed by all and it is certain every- one gained a great deal through this course.

Mrs. Welty was the supervisor of six librar- ians and under her able guidance the library did very Well. Mrs. Welty also worked in the library the fourth hour. Each period had a different librarian with special tasks to perform. On duty the first hour was found Dixie Lee Hoggn with the task of making a list of over- due books and changing the date on the stamper. Second hour the library was transferred to Marilyn Schierhoff, who took care of the mail and magazines. Third hour Paul Schult could be seen re- pairing old books. Pat Bensing was on her job the fourth hour getting new books ready for the shelf. Betty Dudley could be found the fifth hour making new cards for the books. Sixth and last hour we would find Evelyn Uthoff straightening up the library, getting ready for the next day's Work. With everyone doing his part, the library accomplished successfully its work, supplying each student with the desired material.

This year being no exception, there were a number of special singing groups formed to meet the everlasting problem. An eighty-five voice girls' chorus, the result of merging all of the girls' chorus classes into one glee club, was the first of the special groups to make an appearance. This ap- pearance before the Mothers' Club gave the girls an opportunity to combine their voices on songs they had rehearsed separately in their regular classes. Among other performances the girls sang in the assembly for our Christ- mas program. All of the music they sang is written in three parts, and since the girls' voices can be readily adapted to this type of singing, they were able to blend very nicely during all of their performances. The Mixed Chorus, another of the more prominent groups, consisted of thirty-five boys and girls. Although the Mixed Chorus had a slightly late start, it gave a very good account of itself by appearing at the American Legion Oratorical Contest, a few Mothers' Club meet- ings, a school music assembly, the Baccalau- reate service, and the graduation programs. Rehearsals were held both during and after school hours. Some of the more prominent numbers in its repertoire were Weep Little Mary, Were You There?, Cherrubim Song, The Lord Bless You and Keep You, and a very fine arrangement of the Battle Hymn of the Re- public. As a whole, the year's work proved to be very successful and greatly satisfying to every- one involved, and we hope future years to be just as successful. 77fZM!

But as every reporter likes first hand evidence, this one sat in on one of these pow-wows, and, all kidding aside, this is what he found to be the truth. The students of the Chorus classes, l7U in number, put in a tremendous amount of Work cn a course designed to increase music appre- ciation. mzlcfcfcf Ghoruses fxecf Qfee Gfufy 111.115 l 1'jf-v-r III1' To promote student interest in the Mehlville Athletic Program, Mr. Byron L, Boyer, Mrs. Virginia C. Polley, and Coach Herbert Van Deven collaborated in the organization of the Mehlville High School Pep Club. The Pep Club, organized early in October, has approximately seventy-five members in good standing. The main purpose of the organization, which was to get more of the students inter- ested in the Varsity sports as well as to provide the members with various forms of recreation and field trips, has proved to be a great suc- cess as it has brought our basketball attend- ance average much higher than in previous years. It is a known fact that the teachers of Mehl- ville High will go out of their way to do some- thing by which the students will benefit. This has been proved again as the Pep Club sponsors have provided for the members a visit to the campus of Missouri University last October l9, to see the Missouri-lowa State football game, a Christmas Party on December 19 when each member Was acknowledged by a gift from Santa Claus, and or trip to the Arena on lanuary 30 to see the St. Louis Bombers, professional basketball team, play Providence, Bhode island. Lfmk at !11t1I ,lI On the schedule of coming events are a banquet for the Varsity Basketball Squad, a trip to see a professional baseball game this spring, and several parties. The members of the Pep Club Wish to extend their sincere thanks and appreciation to their sponsors and Mr. Bernard, who has provided the busses for the games and our trips, for their great effort and willingness to see that we have a good time.

The last few weeks of the season, Darrell Lee Widernan, a newcomer to school, was added. The cheer leaders were dressed in our school colors, wearing green slacks and white sweaters. Quite a few new cheers were added to the old ones. Mehlville had a large cheering sec- tion due to the support of the Pep Club, which was reorganized this year. lub Another team, the Mothers' Club, has a definite bearing on the success of the big show. The mothers assist the performers through the year of prepara- tion and rehearsals and are to be seen in the front row on opening night. They also furnish off-the-set entertainment and recreation.

A father took his little daughter to a zoo and when they reached the lion's cage he explained how fierce and strong lions are and how they might attack and devour human beings. The child was obviously impressed and stared thoughtfully at the lions for several minutes. Then she said, Daddy, if the lions get out of the cage and eat you up, what bus would l have to take to get home? Don Williams: Would you marry some girl with a picture face? Don Belknap: Oh, sure, if she had the right frame to go with it. IDUQI' Fifty-Fmzr 1. MEHLVILLE L-HGH -. I sc:-fool. i ami- 5- 'ii' . Z sl? I ff, V ww , 5.

Qlleefz The big event of the year, which everyone anticipates with curiosity, is the Coronation of the REFLECTOR King and Queen. Because the REFLECTOR goes to press before the night of the Coronation no information can be given concerning this big event. On April 19, there will be the coronation dance, sponsored by the Sophomore class. At approximately 10 o'clock the lights will dim, the dancing will cease, and the orchestra will strike up a familiar march. With the spotlight turned on them the candidates, in order, will march down the center aisle. Then, in last appearance, will be the REFLECTOR King and Queen of 1947. Various entertainment will then be furnished for the King and Queen. The attendants will follow the King and Queen as they descend to the dance floor and start anew the dancing of the evening. We, at present, who know that Betty is queen and Glenn king, can wish them all possible success and we know that the rest of the student body will join us when the royal pair is announced. BIOGRAPHYOF OUR QUEEN Our REFLECTOR Queen of 1947, Betty Lee Lightfoot, was born Iune 23, 1929. She at- tended Oakville Grade School for eight years and received the American Legion School Award when she graduated. Upon entering Mehlville, Betty was chosen queen of her Freshman Class, and also a stu- dent council member. ln that same year she was crowned Queen of the Carnival. ln her Sophomore year she was elected class treas- urer. Last year she was Assistant Editor of the REFLECTOR, and also Editor of the 1947 edition this year. As a member of the Senior class, she has brought great honor to them by being chosen one of the royal pair. BIOGRAPHY OF O U R K 1 N G Our REFLECTOR King of 1947, Glenn Erb, is a Sophomore at Mehlville High School. He was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on the 24th day of November in 1931. In September of 1937 he entered Point Grade School. Glenn went there until he re- ceived his diploma in 1945. The following fall he enrolled at Mehlville High School, where he attends at present. Glenn is an advocate of sports and in his Freshman year he served on the B basketball team and as vice-president of his class. His Sophomore year was practically the same as he again served on the B basketball team and was a member of the student council. Glenn wishes to thank the students for this honor they bestowed upon him.
