Mr. Purishon and Miss Tetley were sponsors of this peppy bunch of Freshies. The class elected August Smith, Presidentg Virginia Meyer, Vice' President, Juanita Bell, SecretaryfTreasurer, and Ruth Engel, Pepper Box Reporter. After August Smith had discontinued High School, Virginia Meyer, the VicefPresif dent, was elected President. The Backward Party given in November was a huge success. Christmas the members of the class brought food and toys from home. These were distributed to the poor and needy. The Freshmen were well represented in athletics by Curlyl' Springer, Steve Williams, Russell Nixon, Efhe Reinemer, Baile Leiberstein, Jean Simpson, and Mabel Hetlage. This year our number was slightly decreased but we decided to make up for this by putting more vim and vigor into our activities. We started the year out right by giving the first party of the year, a Tacky Masquerade, It was a success socially as well as financially.

C. We have had outstanding recognition in Athletics. Lewis DeHart and Adrian Friese received Rs in football. The girls' soccer and basketball teams deserve Credit for the sportsmanship and the ability displayed. We are being recognized, not only in Athletics, but in our studies as well. A large per cent of the names on the Honor Roll were those of Freshmen. Out of the large number of posters submitted in our Poster Contest, the poster of a Freshman, Dorothy Smith, won first prize. Although we're only Freshies, With High School days just begun, just watch our smoke for the next three years, And you'll see what we have done. 35 ' 'Nl lil fx le ililfl rs ' lFlRESI-IMAN CLASS ALLBERT, PHILLIP ELLIOTT, EVELYN AMELUNG, MELVA EVERS, EDWARD ASMUS, VIOLA BALKENBUSCH, LEO BANDEL, SELMA BARNETT, ROSCOE BAUMGARDT, GEORGE BELL, MINNIE BERNARD, GEORGE BILLINGTON, JAMES BOECKHAUS, E51-HER , 'L - BOYD, THOMAS , r, f-1 ...f BRINKMEYER, BETTY 'W' '4 ' 'f f I BROSIUS, EVA BRUSSMAN, EDGAR BRYANT, GLENN BURTON.

This was due to the support the Huskies received from the student body and their parents, who cheered for them on the sideflines in good and bad weather. The largest squad that ever donned suits at Ritenour reporting daily for practice also helped. Because of this spirit the Huskies showed lots of light in the league games with Kirkwood, Normandy, Clayton and Wellstnin. In the nonfleague games the boys surprised everyone by holding john Burroughs to a 6'O score. Ritenour will lose the services of Herbst, Crosby, Cummins, Etherton, Gilliam, Grossenbacher, Robbins, Shiels and Gibbs. All these boys will be missed because nearly all of them were regulars.

Fast and shifty, he has a real aggressive spirit that makes up for his lack in height. His services will be missed next year. STEPHEN WILLIAMS Steve, our regular center. We are still looking for the man that can outjump him. We can expect great things of him in the next two years for he is only a sophomore. ALFRED CUMMINS One of the main cogs of the team.

Playing Jennings on their own floor, Ritenour defeated them easily, and again in the last game of the season the Huskies defeated Jennings for the second time. In one of the biggest upsets of the year, Ritenour defeated Kirkwood, who at the time was tied for second place and was considered a formidable contender for the title. Going into the Normandy tournament, the Huskies defeated Wellston, only to be set back by the leaguefleading Fergusonites, The playing in the District Tournament was close, hut Ritenour upset the critics by handing Country Day a very serious defeat. In the second round Ritenour was defeated by Webster Groves, thus climinatfng the Huilales from further tournaf ment play. The squad was composed chiefly of new material for only Herbst and Scheffmg had seen active service before. These fellows, with Cummins and Crosby graduate, but there is left the nucleus for a strong and fast team for which great things next year are anticipated. 71 Q ET .,1l4i,,Xl R11 N BASE BALL SCHEDULE RITENOUR vs. ST.

The R Club served the same purpose for the girls. The purpose of the athletic Association is to Hnance the athletic teams, to make athletics pay, and to create, maintain, and extend school spirit. The memhership was of a composition different from that of last year. The membership this year was made up of the class presidents. Alfred Cummins, the Senior president, was chairman exfofiicio, and Willixiiii Dee, -Innior president, was treasurer. The other memhers were Forrest Springer and Lewis DeHart. The Association, under the ahle leadership of Coach Berninger, has promoted school spirit to a higher degree than had ever hccn reached at this school. This year athletics have practically paid current expenses, while the P.'T. A has contributed some much needed athletic equipment. Cuniinins s,if.i.,rf Mi. ii.-mms.-. nn- iw.

For each minute you spend reading it we have spent busy days and sleepless nights preparing it. NVQ know it is not perfect, It has not como up to the staff's idculs, but the mistakes arc not intentional and wc hope that its merits will outweigh its faults. It has been ri plvzisurc and an honor to be a incinlicr ol' the stuff for thc Mclxiurcus of 1930 and we have done our best. 61 1l'-lfl W3-l 't a-lc,..,,lx' News 5 , Y fa 1 ,, N ,i ,win THE PlEPPlI-ER BOX It seems that in September, 1923, the students of our school realized that until Ritenour had a school paper she could not lead the other high schools-could not be looked up to as the most peppy high school in St. Louis County. This necessary something that was to be a backer of all activities was appropriately named The Pepper Box. Russell Pearce was elected as the first editor by the student body and the following were editors in the ensuing years: EVA JENKINS . 192425 MARVIN KUHN 192526 MAXINE ELLIOTT 192627 joins! SIJBOLAEWSKI . 192728 HERBERT M1LLER . 192829 ROBERT SCHEFFING . 192980 The tirst school paper was one of four pages and testified of earnest effort and cofoperation on the part of the student body, the staif, and the faculty representative, Miss Ruth Leeper. Steady progress has been made until we find Volume VIII, 192980, a sixfpage paper deserving enviable rank with the publications of other schools in the county. Much credit is due to the able leadership of Robert Scheiling and the invaluable advice of Miss Barnes, our sponsor.

U. G. CLUB The J. U, G.f Club, a group of twentyffive Freshman, Sophomore, and junior Girls, was organized in Gctober, 1929. The object of the Club is to study and discuss the daily problems of the girl, especially in her teens, to see how much good one can do for others, and to bring forth keencr friendship among the girls. These initials stand for the name, just Us Girls, The motto is, Make a friend, be a friend. The following officers were elected: RUTH BoxnoRFER . President HELEN BoRNE . . V1CC'PTESidEHt BERMCE BAUMGARDT Secretary ARLINE BEINEKE . Treasurer Miss TETLEY . Sponsor A program, given each Wcdnesdgiy' for the girls, is planned by the following committee: Evelyn Buschbaum, Helen Borne, Cathryn Wise, Dorothy Gibson, and Bernice Baumgardt. The Club sold candy at the basketball games and took charge of the High School Christmas Tree and Tubercular Button Sale, in addition to providing a White Ghristf mas for several needy families in the community. The money in the treasury has been earned by the girls themselves. The Club has been a great success, and it is hoped that it will continue to exercise the same helpful influence in the future as other girls are admitted into membership. oaafliamp Stegenxan st.-plans Raw. is.-,a...u.1 1s.,t.1.lar-I ut.ama.fa, Ma, may H-:sack emi.-I ins- Ba.-n.:-...im tzmm Finley sciatifsf Deharr sipt wn..a.s.a-na rgairnua ur-matt Rt..a.m 67 1 1,1145 is 4,-Li s. - -1-.1 i . i i X , lRlECKlElR CLUB The Reckers, easily recognized by their orange shirts with the black lettering and the husky head, continue their good work of creating interest and enthusiasm at Ritenour's athletic contests. There are twentyffive girls in this organization, all Juniors and Seniors, and every member is a true sportsman and tries to live up to the standard of pep and spirit the Reekers have set for Ritenour. The officers of the Club are: RUTH ALnERsoN . President PAULINE THORLEY . VicefPresident DOROTHY SMITH Secretary M.-nu' BRANDT . Treasurer Miss LIVERS Sponsor These girls have served lunches after most of the games played at Ritenour, until it is fast becoming an established fact that the Reckers of Ritenour High can be depended upon to supplement the games with cocoa and sandwiches. In addition to this the Club gives parties at the end of each athletic season. These parties are among the most successful events of the year, and certainly help the Reckers to accomplish their goal of Good Sportsmanship. llhindas liilwarils Hnslonl King Swinglcr Coughlan Miss Livers Lvyhe Wilkinson Shores Evers Love Kc-tn-lkamp Coughlan McNeill Wolf Wilkinson Vfqifs Smiili Thnrli-y Altli-min Bminlr Arnold Bullock , .His-- ' r ANTIQUE BOAT BUILDING CIJUIB This Club was organized in 1928, choosing as sponsor Mr. Punshon, the instructor in Manual Arts, who is still serving in that capacity. The meetings were held after school hours in the manual training room, and the time was spent in constructing models of ancient marine vessels, The boats were not only constructed, but also rigged and painted. Last year there was not so much enthusiasm shown toward hecoming a member of the Club, but, as larger and more elzihorate vessels began to take shape, the member' ship grew until it is now limited to fifteen, and the waiting list grows as the models appear. The purpose of this Club is not nnly to hnilil ships hut to study the different types of vessels, riggings, and arrangement of sails usecl in the seafgoing vessels of ancient times.

Treasurer The purpose of the Commercial Club is to promote interest in the business world, to encourage a social spirit among commercial students, to become conversant with modern progressive business methods and systems, and to endeavor by such means to raise and maintain a higher standard of efficiency for the department. The Club plans to visit various schools, institutions, and business houses, so that it may obtain a broader view of business life. Although this is but the second year of the Commercial Department in Ritenour High School it has proved itself worthy of a place in the curriculum, and invaluable to many of our students.

THE YOUNG lElNSTlElN SCH-3NTllSTS The Young Einstein Scientists are a group of students in Ritenour High School who are interested in the advancement of science. Programs consisting of reports, experiments, explanations, and discussions are carefully planned by a program com' mittee. Guest speakers are always sought and welcomed to attend the meetings and to talk or to demonstrate to our members the various phases of science, The Young Einstein Scientists had thirtyfthree charter members, but the mem' bership is rapidly increasing. This can be easily seen from the number of pupils wearing the attractive pin of the Science Club.

Mr. Punshon, the Manual Arts Instructor who is interested in the commercializing of airftransportation, was selected as sponsor and the Club has made marked progress under his supervision, During the club meetings models of the different types of heavierfthanfair ma' chines were constructed and successfully flown, When the weather became too severe for the aspiring aviators to ily their models in the open, attention was given to the ancient sport of Archery, which for many years has been of little interest in the world of sports but at present has forged into minor sports in some schools. Bows, arrows, and targets were fashioned by the members of the club modeling the ancient weapons of the North American Indians. Practice on the athletic field is developing some real marksmanship.

Under the interested leadership of the director, William Mcf Crackin, we have developed into able players of the harmonica. All of our public performances were enjoyed. Our first entertainment was for the Patrons' Alliance. Our next appearance was at the Junior Party. The program consisted of popular numbers. At the play, Lady From Dixie, which was put on for the benefit of the Community Library, we played several southern melodies. The Harpists had a part of the Christmas Program given for the students of Ritenour High School, presenting several well known Christmas songs. Our latest ambition has been to play over the radio. We are planning to carry out this ambition in the near future.

This Club is part of El worldfwide organization for high school boys and is sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. Although the HifY is indorsed by the Y, each individual organizaf tion is controlled entirely by its own members, The purpose of this Ritenour group is to support athletics, to promote good scholarship, and to maintain a high standard of school spirit. Although this is the first year of the Club, it has been very active in alfairs of the school and community. Its social activities include dinners at the Downtown Y and Normandy High School, the HifY school party, and its own private dances, The success of the Club during its Hrst year is due largely to the untiring efforts of Mr, Punshon, the sponsor.

Big Time, a threefact play, was staged by the Club on March 14, 1930, and proved to be even more of a success than the former performance. Plays were read and discusssed in the Club and often scenes were enacted from these, or other plays.

Since that time this number has almost doubled. All classes are represented and, as there are several Sophomores and Freshmen interested, the outlook of future debaters is bright. Much interest is taken in outside debating. There were debates with McBride, Webster, and Hancock. Ritenour belongs to the McBride, University City, Webster, and Ritenour Debate League. This year the clubs in the Missouri League are debating cn the question, Resolved, That the Installment Plan of Buying Personal Property as Now Practiced in the United States is Both Socially and Economically Desirablef' In Clarence Heinzen and junior Brand, who are aided by jack Shiillett and Stanley Klingensmith, Ritenour has a very good debating squad. At the weekly meetings of the Club parliamentary law is discussed in detail and debates on various subjects are given. Indeed the Debating Club is increasing rapidly the interest of the student body in debating.

PATRONS' ALLIANCE - H1sToRY or THE PATRONS' ALLIANCE SELECTION ENDORSEMENT ELECTION CO'OPERATION ENCOURAGEMENT ENTERPRISE The Patrons' Alliance is the successor to the Voters' League which came into being about 1912 with almost one hundred membersg Captain W. S. Robinson served as the Hrst president, and Joseph Roux, as secretary. The Voters' League was organized for the purpose of intelligent selection and election of men of sterling character, ability, and judgment as members of the Board of Education of Ritenour .Consolidated School District, and for the purpose of cofoperating to the fullest extent with the Board of Education in promulgating economy, progress, and expansion. The first three candidates chosen by the Voters' League were Harold Lane, Captain W. S. Robinson, and E. Wurdack, and all three were elected as members of the Board of Education, shortly after the birth of the Voters' League. The Patrons' Alliance was formed February 17, 1922, having one hundred and thirtyflive members, with Wm. Heidbrink, president, Wm. E. Wagner, vicefpresidentg Mrs. C. Wagner, treasurer, and john Armbruster, secretary. On the roster of oliicials who have served we 'rind also the names of D. D. Smith, T. D, Moore, Jos. A. Cummins, C. A. Covington, and R. J. Kettelkamp, with the honor for most service belonging to Mrs. Edw. P. Evers, who was elected treasurer in 1922 and is still serving in that capacity, and to Wm. Heidbrink, who has served as president from 1922 to 1928, voluntarily relinquishing office. Due to the untiring, persistent efforts, encouragement, and cofoperation of the Patrons' Alliance with the Board of Education, the High School was finally built, despite several years of determined opposition and litigation by some of the tax' payers who believed that a High School was too ambitious and expensive an under- taking at that time. The Patrons' Alliance in selecting, endorsing, working for, and electing members of the Board of Education, and in studying and judging their work as members of this Board, is rendering to the Ritenour Consolidated School District a service of incalculable beneit, so farfreaching in its ramifications that it is almost impossible analytically to describe details. Attention is called only to the benelits in education to the children of the district, and to the enhancement of property values because of the presence of an adequate educational system. A few words more, elucidating how the members of the Patrons' Alliance work when it is necessary to do so. During the time of the opposition to the High School project and the litigation in connection therewith, a number of members of the Patrons' Alliance distributed literature in support of the building of the High School to practically each home in the district, and pleaded for the cause that it might reach a successful conclusion. In addition to these activities, a number of meetings were held to formulate plans for the campaign, and for raising money. Meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month at eight o'clock P. M. in the High School. Dues are Hfty cents a person, man or woman, for one year, Come in, join us, we need your cofoperation. 80 OVERLAND P. - T. A.

A. COMPLIMENTS OF THE PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION HOME HEIGHTS SCHOOL MARVIN P.-T. A.. In August, 1928, the parents of the Marvin District, desiring to assist in every way possible in the opening and maintenance of the new Marvin School, met in the Community Church and organized the Marvin ParentfTeacher Association with twentyfnine members enrolled. Mrs. W. S, McAdoo was elected president and has served continuously since that time. The membership has grown until it now num' bers fiftyftwo. The organization has ever had the best interests of the school at heart, and has endeavored to bring about a closer relationship between the home and the school. The members realized that as a spirit of cofoperation between these two units grows, so the efficiency of the school will grow. They are always on the alert to recognize and supply any needs of the school, and have purchased a piano, athletic goods, and other things much needed in a new school. They anticipate, with much pleasure, the added facilities to be enjoyed in the new building now under construction, which will enable them to conduct a cafe' teria whereby they may serve not only milk, but well cooked lunches. With continued interest and enthusiasm, they expect to go forward to the achievement of bigger and better things for the school and community. THE NlEW OVERLAND P.-T. -A.

WATSON vo SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1926, ninetyftwo green Freshies entered that great institution of learning known as Ritenour High School. As is customary with a Freshman class, the first few days of our high school life was spent in aimless wandering through the halls and in gazing with popfeyecl admiration and envy at the upper classmen. However, in a very short time this homesick appearance was supplanted by one of customary dignity and sophistication, We very readily became convinced that Algebra was not an Italian gangster, nor General Science an English commander in the war on disease, It might be interesting to note that the girls of the class established a record in the number of cakes, pies, and pastries burnt in Domestic Science classes, to say nothing of the amount of lumber wasted by the Manual Training boys. One of the features of this, our first year in high school, was the Freshman party. Athletically, the class was prominent from the start. Gerard Crosby, Robert Grossenbacher, and Emil Cierpiot won letters for their services as members of the football team. Of the girls, Ruth Alderson and Leola Tolbert won places on the basketball team, In our Sophomore year our number was slightly reduced but we made up for this by putting more vim and vigor into our activities By this time we had fitted ourselves perfectl into the - Y workings of high school life and we determined to make our presence noticeable in a big Way in the affairs of the school. The wonderful improvement in our behavior in class meetings over the previous year was a constant subject of conversation. The class officers for the year were as follows: Parker Kilby, President, Bradner Moore, VicefPresidentg Thelma Campbell, Secretary and Treasurer. The class activities of the year were featured by a hike which was the most heavily attended social event of the year. This year our troubles with Algebra and General Sci l d b ' ' ' ' ence were rep ace y those with Geometry and History. We made a stride forward in athletics, for those who had taken part the year before were joined by several new aspirants. Oi the boys, Gerard Crosby, Emil Cierpiot, Robert Grossenbacher, Quintin Gregory and Everett Herbst were members of the football squad Of the irls Ruth Alderson Leola T . g , , olbert and Thelma Campbell were members of the basketball and baseball teams. In our junior year our number was reduced to hftyfseven. Our big claim to glory in this year was the junior-Senior Banquet which is given each year by the juniors, to the graduating class. I d ' ' ' ' ' ' n or er to raise money for this, the class gave a carnival which was held at the high school, Besides the several booths, a special boxing match was held. The principals were Robert Grossenbacher and Robert Scheffing's little brother. After absorbing a great deal of terrinc punishment, Grossey was downed for the count. The Banquet itself was a or e . g g ous affair. It was proclaimed as the greatest IuniorfSenior Banquet ever given at Ritenour. jack Shitilett r d ' ' ac e as toastmaster and gave a fine account of himself, as everyone who was there will admit. Talks by the various members of the faculty were given between the courses of the dinner which was the big attraction. The latter part of the evening was spent in dancing. The juniors of this year played a big part in the revival of school s irit which was so r ' p p ominent at the time, Robert Schefling served as one of the cheer leaders. Several members of the class held tt' h posi ions on t e Pepper Box Staff, while Robert Schefling and jack Schilillett were members of h Ml ' t e e aureus Staff. Members of the class again Hlled a large number of places on the various athletic teams. N we have published the second Ritenour High School Melaureus, Miss Lovelace again consented to sponsor the venture, and Alfred Cummins was elected Editorfin-Chi f. Und th ' l d h' e er eir ea ers ip we have published a book which we hope will equal or surpass in effectiveness the annual of last e Th l y ar. e c ass oflicers of this our last year at Ritenour are as follows: Alfred Cummins, Presif dentg Mary Brandt, VicefPresidentg Ruth Alderson, Secretaryg Evelyn Houser, Treasurer. Athletically the class again stood out. In football nine Seniors received R's , Of this number Gerard Crosby and Robert Grossenbacher had the unusual distinction of being lettermen for the fourth straight year. Everett Herbst, a Senior, served as captain. The Seniors have been active in the Glee Club, especially in the Operetta Gypsy Rover in which Ruth Alderson, Merritt Hamilton, Alfred Cummins, jordan Gibbs, and james Sheils took important roles. They have naturally led in the Dramatic Club programs given so graciously at various times through the year. Kathryn Evers, Dorothy King, Audrey Kcttlekamp, and Mary Brandt gave a very creditable showing for Dramatics in Ritenour High on the High School Day at Williams Woods, Stanley Klingensmith has been an active member of Ritenour's Debating Squad and deserves special mention. b fOn May 29, 1930, our class of -fortyffour -graduates. When we depart we hope we will not e orgotten and that our work will be an inspiration to the others who in later years will follow in our footsteps. ow we come to our Senior year, the goal of every high school girl and boy As Seniors 91 ,rrqli S 3 H vim, 1 SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of Ritenour High School, Overland, Missouri, having reached the end of our high school career, will soon pass from your midst, and, being of good health of body and supposedly of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare this writing to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all other testimonial writings made by us in the past.

On a shelf near the fireplace were a dozen or more very ancientflooking books. Gazing lazily at the old- fashioned covers he chanced to see on one of them in very bold type, My Auto- biography, by Morris Etherton, Sr. Hm, mused Morris, looking up at the picture of the world famous Latin professor, I wonder what the old bird was like. He pulled out the book, and seating himself in a comfortable chair, began to turn the pages. This looks interesting, he said, when he came to a chapter entitled, Famous Colleagues of Mine. He began to read interestedly: It has always been a great hobby of mine to keep track of my friends, especially those belonging to the Ritenour High School Class of 1930.
