Lumbermen, engineers, and shovvboatmen find their livelihood through its existence. Its readily navigable Waters make it a Well-traversed'highvvay of trade and commerce. Its green-carpeted bluffs beckon to the artist as Well as to the traveler, as they did in 1764 to Pierre Laclede, the founder of St. Louis. To this proud, persistent, ever-fiovving Father of Waters, the 1945 Roundup pays tribute. May it eter- nally flow-a symbol of the Will and strength of the people it so faithfully serves.

One of the greatest honors which a student can achieve at Southwest is to be elected by his group to serve as a representative or alternate to the Student Council. Such election means that his group has confidence in his ability, integrity, and judgment. One representative and one alternate from each group may gain one of these coveted positions for one or more years of their school life. While this election is a great honor, it is also a grave responsibility as the Student Council speaks for the student body and initiates and car- ries through many of the projects that make Southwest the excellent school Eighteen . that it is. These are some of the council's accomplishments of the past year: It made a drive for funds to send the Pioneer to service men, collected money for a recreation room at Fort Leonard Wood, helped with the collec- tion of money for the Junior Red Cross Christmas stockings, purchased a Visitor's Register, presented the school with its ninth service flag, spon- sored the Corral, initiated Hello Day, designed and sold Decal seals, and sold tickets for the Roundup, Pioneer and Southwest Review.

Twenty-one SPECIAL SERVICE Sponsor MISS STEFFEN As its name would imply, the purpose of this group is to serve South- west. To belong to such an organization a student must be willing to give his time and energy, he must realize that he has to make up at home the study time lost while on duty. Thus, only those who have real school spirit are found in these ranks. ' Special Service members serve without fanfare. Their reward lies in the knowledge that theirs is a good job, a necessary job, well-done. To operate efficiently Southwest needs these steady workers. Their tasks include helping Miss Cordell in the library, aiding Miss Wright in the hygiene office, assisting Miss Schatz and Miss Dougherty in the main oflice, typing for the teachers, taking charge of the lost and found articles in 319, and doing corridor duty.

Twenty-three SUNRISE ON THE MISSISSIPPI By BILL STEELE JTis dawn and the sun is coming upg The layered night mists fill The valley like a cup. Then to banish shadows from hill and fen Day's weak red rays come o'er the hill And ghostly shadows of long-gone men Who roamed the waters the livelong night Go, taking flight like the wren Who, seeing its home in sight, Flies fast and true to its bower. So vanish these river spirits when comes the dawning hour. The ruddy river awakens me, And draws me forth from fantasy: Again I see the beauty of Sunrise on the river of my love. S.

I hate them. I have dreamed about them and waked thinking about them. What is my trouble? I can- not think of a suitable subject. Do not misunderstand me. I have many ideas but cannot develop them to my satisfaction. I spend many study periods gazing into space trying to get a good start. I have reread some of the essays in our book, Old and New Essays, by Chamberlain, and have pored over the chapter entitled Organizing Experience in Essay Form in Developing Language Power. In my desperation I 'have asked my mother, father, brother, and even schoolmates for suggestions, but their ideas make me more confused. First I thought about the baseball game I had witnessed Saturday. An idea came to me that I could write on the disadvantages of the bleachers. I thought all my worries were over, I made an outline and began to write. I told about the fans of all ages Waiting in line for many hours to sit in the bleachers to see the ball game, their long wait, the discomfort of the hard seats, and the hot sun. Then through some trick of my mind these discomforts disappeared and in their place I could see only what a Wonder- ful opportunity it was to be able to see a World Series game from any seat at all. In disgust I put the Bleacher essay aside. I had lost my point of view. By this time I was tired, and my thoughts wandered to sleep. Then it occurred to me that I might write about dreams. I really thought I had something. I started to Write another outline. Dreams are the guardians of sleep, I began and then stopped. An essay should have a snappy begin- ning, I have learned. This beginning clearly was not snappy, but never- theless I went on with my train of thought, writing, All dreams have origins. There are dreams that occur from the day's happenings, from one's desires, and from outside interferences. No matter how fantastic or amusing they may be, they perform a useful service, they are the most fascinating experiences of our lives. They have nothing to do with the future, but are products of the past and present. Sleep, I continued, is as necessary to the health of the human body as food and drink. While one sleeps, the body cells work at storing up energy to take one through another day. This process of storing up energy would be impossible were not one's conscious mind, while asleep, full of hopes and worries. But consciousness is only part of the human mind. The rest is the unconscious mind. This is the storing of forgotten expe- riences and hidden memories. These hidden memories stimulate reactions to the unconscious mind. If they were allowed free access to the mind, one would Waken frequently. So nature provides a safeguard, a dream mechan- ism that makes the dream contents as undisturbing as possible. As this was much too deep for me, I was forced to give this idea up, so I laid the essay aside and went to bed. What did I dream about that night? You guessed it-essays. The next day I was in a daze, the time was growing short. I just had to think of something to write about. At everything my eyes gazed upon I stopped and wondered if I could write an essay about it. Again I mulled over the chapter on writing essays. An essay, I read again and again, is one's own point of View expressed in one's own words. One difference between an essay and a story is that an essay is more like one's everyday thoughts. The chief value of writing an essay lies in its stimulation to clear thinking. One's experience is good material. Then, like a stroke of lightning, came an inspiration. These efforts at essay writing were my only experience during the past weeks. I decided to weave them together as my essay. Essays to me are still nightmares! Twenty-seven oooBER JIM C Prize Winning Short Story Q By PATSY WALKER Some people thought-well, you know how people are-that Goober Jim had had his head hurt in the war. They didn't know him as I did. They didn't know how he could keep us kids spellbound with his war stories and tales about Catnip, his old horse. They coulnd't guess how close he brought the Indians. Once he had some warriors right at the front door, only they weren't warriors when we opened the door--just some people. The only thing I could find wrong with Goober Jim was that he was living in the world of pioneers, covered wagons, Indians, and Gener'l Grant. He wouldn't even ride in our new uhorseless carriage when we first got it. He said he'd rather ride ole Catnip, and everybody knew that ole Catnip was as old and broken-down as Goober himself. Goober's house used to be the rendezvous of all the neighborhood kids on a rainy Saturday afternoon. It was a swell little cabin on the inside, even if it didn't look so good on the outside. The walls were hung with strings of dried corn, red and green peppers, parsley, and other vegetables. There was a big fireplace, where we popped corn, roasted apples, and listened to Goober Jim tell stories. I used to come home all wide-eyed and dreamy after one of these sessions, and my mother always said to Dad, Tom, We're going to have to keep that boy away from Goober Jim's. Why, he'll be joining the army, the next thing we know, and going West to fight the Indians. Dad always agreed with her, although secretly I believe he liked to listen to Goober Jim as well as I did. Then I used to cry and beg till he said that I could go the next rainy Saturday. All week long I prayed for rain. And then, if it did rain, I trotted down the well-worn path, walked the log across the swollen branch, picked my way through the wet corn, and there I was-at Goober Jim's. One day we were sitting before the fire, and I, as usual, asked Goober for a story. Goober smoothed his grizzly white beard, cocked his head, and began to count on his fingers. You see, he wasn't so well educated as you or I. I've tole you 'bout the Injun fight at Apple Ridge, 'n' 'bout the big panther I killed with my bare hands, 'n' 'bout the time I got lost for a week in the cave, 'n'-well, I've jest 'bout tole you all I know. I was perplexed. Goober without a story was like a well without water. Goober, I began, and that was enough. I said the name over softly several times to myself. He looked at me kinda funny. Then I asked him, Goober, what's Goober mean? It's not a name, is it? Goober kinda laughed and shook his head. Naw, Sonny, he said, a goober is a peanutf' I laughed, for I'd never heard them called that before, but I knew I'd hit on something because Goober was taking out his Uwhittlin' stick - that's what we called the piece of Wood he whittled on while he told us a story. Why do they call you that? I quizzed, anxious to have him begin the tale. ' Well, it wuz a long time ago, Sonny, 'way 'fore you wuz born. I wuz 'bout seventeen, 'n' thought I knew 'bout everythin' there wuz to know. I had a fine pappy like you've got, 'n' 'most everythin' a boy could want, but I Weren't satisfied. One day my pappy sent me to hoe the corn. I never did like to hoe corn, 'n' 'specially I didn't want to that day 'cause there wuz a picnic, 'n' all the fellows 'round were goin'. I really wanted to go, but Pappy said to hoe the corn first, 'n' then I could go. I started out, 'n' bilin' mad, too. I hoed all mornin', 'n' when time for dinner come 'round, I wuz so mad I went in 'n' told my pappy 'bout it. He tried to Twenty-eight reason with me, but I wuz so hardheaded I wouldn't listen. I jest packed my clothes 'n' went out 'n' got ole Catnip 'n' rode away. I interrupted here. Catnip, was he here then? Goober looked out of the window at his old horse. Yes, he replied, kind of sad-like, ole Catnip has seen me through many a trial. But, Goober, I protested, you're not telling about a peanut. Now be patient, Sonny, he chuckled, I haven't got to that part yet. Go on now, Goober, I prodded. VVhere did you go ? Well, said Goober, as he resumed his story, I wuz so mad at first I could have gone clean to California, but by the time night come 'round, 'n' I didn't have a place to sleep, why I wuz pretty well cooled off. I pitched camp 'bout dusk, 'n' by the time I wuz ready for bed, why, it had started to rain. Let me tell you, Sonny, I spent a miserabl' night, 'n' by the time mornin' come 'round, why, I wuz all ready to go back home, only my pride wouldn't let me. I kept rernemberin' how I'd said to my pappy that I wuz never comin' back, 'n' now I couldn't go back 'cause I said that. So I set out on the road again, 'n' this time I kept goin'. VVhen I finally stopped, it was in the Mizzuri River bottoms. There were a flood at the time, 'n' me 'n' ole Catnip, we helped hold back the water. I met a feller-nice guy he wuz, too-'n' I grew pretty attached to him. He wuz 'bout ten years older than I wuz, 'n' I thought he wuz pretty smart 'n' all. He talked an awful lot 'bout New York, 'n' I fell for every- thin' he said, like a fool. Well, we two decided to rent us a little patch of land 'n' raise peanuts. They were a profitable crop at that time, 'n' a feller could make a pretty good bunch of money on a crop. Pete, that wuz the feller's name, said that we'd tend the crop all summer 'n' then take the money 'n' go to New York 'n' see the sights. I liked that idea 'cause I'd never been 'round much, 'n' the thought of goin' to New York jest kinda made me want to work all the harder. We worked hard, or at least I did, 'cause Pete kinda liked to do all the bossin'. By the time fall come 'round, why, there were a pretty good crop of nuts ready to go to market. We picked 'n' pulled till I thought my back would break, but then I thought of how close the time was that we were goin' to New York. Pete kept urgin' me to pick a little faster, too. He said that every one we picked, why, it was one more dollar to spend, 'n' then I picked all the harder, till finally they were all picked, dried, 'n' sacked, ready to go to the market over in St. Louie. Pete decided to borrow the team of the feller that we had rented the land from 'n' haul the goobers to town in the wagon. I agreed that it was a pretty good idea 'n' one bright mornin' Pete started out with our wagon- load of nuts. I wanted to go, but Pete said that I'd better say home 'n' pick a few scattered nuts that we'd missed 'n' get the cabin all nice 'n' clean. One thing I'll always remember 'bout Pete. He was terribl' neat 'n' clean. I worked all day that day gettin' things ready for us to go right off to New York as soon as Pete got back with the money. I picked 'bout, oh, I guess a gunny sack full of peanuts, 'n' got the house scrumptiously clean. Then I sat out by the road 'n' waited for Pete. He never came. I watched all afternoon, 'n' by night I wuz pretty worried. I thought somethin' might have happened to him-an accident, maybe. I went over to the feller's house where we had borrowed the team, 'n' wuz he surprised to see me! 'Say, young feller,' he said, 'I thought you were with Pete.' I shook my head and asked if he had seen or heard anythin' 'bout Pete. 'He sent a darkey back with the team 'bout six 'clock. I just sup- posed you were going right on to New York,' the farmer tole me. He looked at me sorta funny-like 'n' said in a quiet tone, 'Jim, I guess Pete has just left you holding the bag? Tm-my-n,',,e I thought 'bout the sack of peanuts that I had picked that mornin'. Yes, Pete has left me holdin' a sack of goobers-'holdin' the bag? Well, that's 'bout all, Sonny, declared Goober Jim, stretching his long legs out in front of him. I Went home Without a nickel-only the sack of goobers that Pete had left me. My pappy Wasn't at all surprised to see me. 'I knowed you'd be back sooner or later,' he declared. I couldn't say much 'cause I wuz so glad to be home. I gave the sack of nuts to my mother as a present. She opened 'em, saw whatithey Were, laughed 'n' said, 'Goobers, Jim. Where did you get them ?' My little sister wuz sittin' near me. She turned to me and said, 'Goober Jim, Goober Jim.' We all kinda thought it wuz funny, but then everybody started callin' me that, 'n' they still do. Well, Goober Jim is gone now. Has been for quite a while, and I've forgotten most of the stories, but somehow this one has stuck With me. I can't tell you Whyg I don't know myself, but don't you agree with me, after hearing a story like this, that Goober Jim was O. K. ? TO A FIELD By HERMAN OTTENAD The field of wheat rippled and sang, Sang the low song known to wheat While the field with the sound of work rang. And I smelled the smell of wheat. The clouds drifted languidly at ease, W'hile toy figures of men labored reaping, Sound of threshing, coming from the keys, Of a master organ played by fingers creeping.

She was the kind of grandmother all children should have. VVhen very young I associated my grandmother with ice cream and watermelon. I knew that all visits to my grandmother's would inevitably produce these two delicacies. As I grew older and began to appreciate all her other wonderful qualities, I learned the true significance of this asso- ciation. I realized that by associating her with watermelon and ice cream, I was unconsciously connecting her with something good. That is how all remember her-connected always with something good or kind. My grandmother's looks and energy belied her age. She was an attrac- tive woman, attractive because of the joy and eagerness that was evident in all that she did. Her sparkling blue eyes were like the glow of an intense flame. The strands of gray in her black hair added electricity to her appearance. Though she seldom laughed, she was never without a smile. Everyone seemed to sense her kindness. Young and old alike came to her for advice, and to none did she deny help. She was happiest when helping someone in need. All her life she sacrificed in order that others might have, and enjoyed every minute of it. She often told her children that all who give are always rewarded, but the hope of a reward was not her object. She loved people, and if they suffered, so did she. She knew everyone in the neighborhood. She had been present at the birth of many of them, and she took almost as great an interest in their lives as in the lives of her own children. Yet, knowing all she did, she never gossiped. She abhorred gossiping, often saying that if the people who spent half their lives gossiping would only sweep their own doorsteps clean, they would never find time to talk about other people. My grandmother firmly believed that there was something good in everybody, and she was always able to find it. When my mother was about fifteen years old, there lived near her a family of eight children. The father was a constant drinker and took no interest in the welfare of his family. The two older girls were undisciplined and friendless. They were unhappy and resentful, and finally began to resort to the Wrong kind of friends and the wrong kind of recreation. Rumors became rife. My mother, following the example of her friends, proceeded to snub the girls. My grandmother had no knowledge of this snobbery until one day she saw my mother treating the girls with her usual scornful disdain. My grand- mother severely reprimanded my mother, telling her that if the girls did anything Wrong, she was as much ,to blame as they. She explained that the girls' trouble was due to the fact that their father could not understand them, that they lacked friends, and that it was up to her to help them. She then invited the girls to her home and gradually, as she gained their confidence, gave them all the advice and help she could. What she said I shall never know, but I am sure she advised them to do something useful with their lives. For it was not long before the girls had fine positions and were making new and better friends. The girls have never forgotten my grandmother nor her family, and have shown their gratefulness in many ways. My grandmother realized how different one person was from another and treated each accordingly. Each of her six children was regarded as a separate individual. She knew all of their ways and took great concern in helping them develop their best traits. My grandmother, in spite of her many fine qualities, had one fault. She disliked housework. This fact is probably the reason that, although Thirty- two all of her children were each given their own tasks, she seldom asked them to do very much work around the house. She said that they would have enough of that when they were older. She saw that they had responsibili- ties, but never did she ask them to do the work that she disliked while she sat idle. Q My grandmother was a devout Christian and scrupulously observed the Sabbath. She began the day by going to church with her family. She did not permit any tasks to be done on Sunday which could be taken care of during the week. She read the Bible to her family and in solitude. All her life she followed the teachings of the Bible. My grandmother learned that she was suffering from cancer two months before she told anyone else, for she did not want anyone to worry. She had been forced to tell when an operation became necessary. The last eight months of her life were spent happily and usefullyg she would tol- erate no morbidness nor sympathy. When she died she was mourned by the whole community. I am sure, as much as she loved life, that she did not feel sorry for herself when the time came for her to die. Her life had been a success. She had succeeded in making it one of complete useful- ness and happiness-an achievement that cannot be surpassed. THE TREE CHOIR By ARTHUR zE1s The forest monarchs sweetly sing. Who hasn't heard them in the spring? The maples, bass lends to the tuneg The tenor poplars softly croon. All together their voices blend Softly, sweetly, without end.

Marines they are, tense, unafraid But weary. They haue courage. The trees are bent by furious winds That sway them to and frog The air is cool g the smell is fresh, They know, yet on they go. They have no fear of jungle storms, They're warriors. They have courage. The clouds roll faster, on and on, And then a jagged light- A thunderous crash 5 the storm has come And breaks with all its might! The rain pours down 5 the men crouch low 5 They care not. They have courage. Amid the raging tempest winds They creep ahead-it's hard 5 Their clothes are soaked, their feet sink down Each step, each foot, each yard. They know they have a job to do: They'll do it. They have courage. And then the fight for jungle land Begins. It's fierce and cruel. The enemy appears, and enter Into bitter duel. Our men fight hard. Dear Lord on high, Protect them. They have courage. Behind each tree some danger lurks With rifle or with knife. A loud, sharp crack-the men duck down, But one has lost his life- Another sound, his death avenged By buddies. He had courage. And so it goes. Some men will fall, Never more to riseg But they have fought a brilliant fight For us-'twas not for prize: They fought for justice, peace divine, For love. Ana' they had courage.

A common denominator of the hearts of America, these service stars. From the rocky coasts of Maine to the blue waters of the Pacific g from the northern lake country to the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, in little farm houses, in stately homes on Nob Hill, there hang the flags. Mothers waiting and worrying and praying, all over America today. A family in Boston, blue- blooded and proud, receive their message: Bob's shipping out, Robert. May he always uphold the honor of the Andrews name. A family in Salt Lake City, swarthy Greek immigrant stock, read their letter behind the little lunch counter stocked with greasy doughnuts and fly-specked cakes. Nick's gone across, Papa, our Nick-he's gone! Out on the Pacific, a huge troop ship ploughs through the night. This is it! Three small words are spoken by a sergeant to his company of United States Marines, among them Nick Oliver, the little Greek from Salt Lake City, and Bob Andrews, the banker's son, from Boston. Boys with no common background except their recent one of boot camp. Boys who had become great friends during that period of basic training. I sure wish I could toss words around like you can! Nick would say, white teeth gleaming in a warm smile. I'll trade you that art for more instruction in the use of my dukes, Bob would reply cheerfully. This is it! These words brought to a climax months of back-breaking physical training, hours of hard intensive study, days of learning about a Pacific island that heretofore had existed only in pages of a geography. That was all over now: the training, the hours lying in the mud of the rifle range. Only one thing mattered now, to land on that island and drive off the Japs. Zero hour was at hand, the test of all the preparation had arrived. The officers were intently studying their watches, the minute hands were creeping toward h hour. The first gray streaks of dawn were heralded by the deafening roar of hundreds of American guns pouring steel death at the tiny speck on the horizon. The battle wagons in a semi-circular formation were pounding every inch of X islandg the sky was brightened by fires and explosions. When shore batteries gave rebuke, Navy dive bombers from the escorting carriers joined the fray. From the troop transport, Nick and Bob nervously watched the soften- ing-up operations. They had been in maneuvers before, many times they had actually gone through the performance of landing and establishing a beachhead, but this seemed strangely different. Then it came, h hour. Whistles blew, clumsy looking landing craft appeared alongside the ship, and hundreds of tough looking Marines scampered down the rope ladders on the ship's side into the bobbing boats. Nick and Bob in Company A were in the first wave to go ashore. All was going as planned. VVhen the barges hit beach bottom, out into the cold water went Company A, guns held high. Nick and Bob waded ashore and dug into the beach. Reminds me of the news reels we used to see, grinned Nick. Scared, kid ? Just sort of numb, admitted Bob. lt doesn't seem quite real yet, it's as if we really were part of a movie scene. i Moving inland yard by yard, crawling over the hot sand filled with stinging ants, on went Company A, still meeting no resistance. Now the covering barrage was ceasing, it was the Marines' turn to take over. The group with Nick and Bob were to capture the Jap radio station on the Thirty-six island, and now, as they edged carefully forward, came the rain of death from the snipers in their suicidal positions. The men were shocked by the complete devastation. Destruction and death were found everywhere, caused by the wrath of the pre-invasion bombardment. One by one, snipers were picked off, and the steady ad- vance continued. But the island was bigger than it looked, and there were hills that Nick and Bob knew were full of the Jap defenders. Reaching the sought radio station, they found only rubble and ashes. The drab gray dawn had now burst into a warm sunny day, battle-worn Marines were already cleaning up and rebuilding the airfield. Company A was assigned to mopping-up operations on the J aps in the hills, whose force unfortunately was greatly underestimated. Heavily armed with grenades and automatic rifles, Company A, to- gether with several other companies, started for the hills. The success of the whole landing depended upon the elimination of all the enemy. The advance was slow and cautious, but none of the enemy was sighted. Silence hung heavily and suspiciously in the air. Then the officer in charge chose Nick and Bob as messengers to return to the established base and report the mysterious disappearance of the Japs. Shortly after they had started their return trip, the first Japs were sighted by the Marines remaining. Two of the little brown men came walk- ing down a trail directly into the hands of the invading Americans. This strange appearance caused some excitement, and the Japs were questioned. Suddenly one of them shouted several sharp commands. The foliage about the Marine group began to move, and too late they realized they had been cleverly surrounded. The Japs closed in before the Marines could set up their defense, and, although they fought bravely, using pistols and hand weapons, they were annihilated to the last man. As Nick and Bob were nearing the base, they heard the battle noises, but obeying orders they proceeded to the commanding officer. Quickly he ordered two more companies out to aid the force which they did not know had been wiped out. When they found their dead comrades, at last they realized that the play had become deadly real. Returning to the base, a cold hatred settled down on the men, and soon a dark rumor spread around that Bob and Nick had run out on their company when the Japs appeared. They became virtual outcastsg and, bound closer together by this unhappy bond, they vowed to themselves to prove to their comrades that they were not yellow. . The following night the Japs, who had become more confident after their initial victory, planned to recapture the airfield. Bob and Nick and another Marine were posted on sentry duty at the head of a trail to the interior of the island. Suddenly the J aps launched an attack on the side of the airfield opposite the trail where Nick and Bob were watching. VVhile all forces were attempting to repel the attack, the trail itself became Jap- infested. Swiftly sizing up the situation, Nick and Bob knew the first atgclirdwas a feint, and that this was the real main force attacking the al ie . Digging in on the trail, Nick and Bob determined to hold the J aps off as long as possible while they sent their comrade back for help. No words were necessary between them, each knew it was probably the endg each knew it was his chance of redemption, too. They let the J aps get within yards of their guns before letting go. Mortal shrieks of pain and surprise met their first volley, but on came the attackers, answering the grenades of the Marines with bullets. Suddenly Nick fell, wounded in the leg, then a bullet caught Bob in the shoulder. Together, kid, we can work together, Nick's white teeth were still flashing in that unbeatable grin. And so, while Bob's good legs held the Thirty-seven machine gun steady, Nick aimed and fired with his good arms. When the reinforcements came charging up, two bloody but battling boys were still holding off the attack on the narrow trail. The demoralized Japs were completely defeated, and in the days that followed, the island was taken and held by the Marines, one more step in the line of all-out victory. Bob and Nick had proved, not only to their comrades but to themselves, that they were an honorable part of the greatest team in the World, American fighting men. Out on the Pacific, at hospital ship is ploughing through dark watersg hundreds of wounded men are going back, back from the inferno of the Pacific, tried and not found wanting in the real thing. From the rocky coasts of Maine to the Golden Gate, from Wyoming plains to Florida sunshine, medals and citations and Purple Hearts are gathering to reinforce those service flags in windows. In a narrow, tall brick house in Boston a mother smiles proudly as she receives the news of her son. In a little, greasy restaurant in Salt Lake City another mother wipes her streaming eyes with her apron as she looks at the Purple Heart before her. It is the prelude to victory. MY IDEAL - By CLAIRE HARRISON I wish I were a butterfly of gold To catch the golden sunlight in by wing, To skillfully glide upon the breeze so bold, To feed on nectar and to blossoms cling. The first night I would spend within a rose Who blushes with embarrassment and pride, Or in some lily or bluebell repose, All happy that I chose with her to bide. My golden sheen would take a silver hue As in the silvery moonlight I did play, And like a fairy bathe in morning dew, And laz'ly, dream'ly pass the night and day. I'd know no war, no death, no grief nor strife- My only task to live and love my life. fAccepted for publication by the National High School Poetry Association.j NATURE By ANNA JEAN TROST The open air is a place for all- The bubbling brook, the robin's call, The rocks and rills of hill and dale, Each meadow, stream, and flowery vale.

This very phrase itself causes a tingling sensation in the lower regions of the vertebrae and is usually applied to some hapless unfortunate for whom all hope has been long since abandoned-poor, condemned wretches such as Flat-top or Herr Shicklegruber. The term has been used a countless number of times to denote helplessness and terror. It carries with it an intense feeling of utter defenselessness. In general, it signifies doom-dark, unescapable doom. And why not? It was, naturally, first applied to the rat, a lowly rodent hated and despised by all save his own species. What chance has one of these poor creatures when held firmly in the relentless grasp of the two cruel, grinning jaws of a rat trap? Few cats, a smaller number of dogs, and very few human beings would unhesitantly attack a rat free from the confining fetters of a trap, his powerful incisors and surprising agility make him a formidable opponent. However, once the aforementioned rodent is encased in the cold maw of a trap, the prospect changes entirely. The cat may have trembled before, his eyes may have wavered slightly, but now his figure crouches close to the ground, and his eyes take on the cold, hard look of stone. The dog, perhaps, may have recalled what a similar rat did to the tough bulldog next door, but now this is forgotten, his fangs are bared wickedly. The man may have dubiously regarded the gleaming yellow incisors and the powerful claws, but now he grimly renews his grasp on his instrument of decapitation. These three, then, advance with one desire-to kill. The rat trembles, his screams grow louder, he is afraid and helpless. Held fast by the leg, unable to move, he must wait-for death, in one of its most horrible forms. With these unfair handicaps hanging about his neck like a chain of millstones, a foul, cowardly rat, it seems, would surely succumb to fate. His cause is hopeless, indeed, already lost! Does he meekly lay aside his chance for existence? On your life, he does not! No matter how severe the pain, how agonizing the torture, the trapped creature will fight, fierce as a demon incarnate, until the controlling nerves cease to function, until the tough sinews fail to move the powerful claws, until the last spark of life is gone from the huddled bodyj Yet a rat is the symbol of cowardice. The expression cowardly rat is in frequent use. Can this-the act of fighting bravely to the very end against overwhelming odds-be defined as cowardly? Nay, it would be more appropriate to call our heroes of Bataan and Wake cowards, it would be more justifiable to mark Leonidas and his Spartans as mollycoddles. Such is the injustice done to the lowly rat. During the all too short span of his life, he is cursed and blasphemed by many, that is partly unfair. But to ridicule and deny the heroic manner in which the lowliest of these rodents goes unflinchingly to his death-that is the lowest of foul insults. I do not profess to hold any love for the rat, I have no wish to see him multiply or even live. Yet it strikes me as wondrously strange when those who have for so long made sport of the rat, go forth to meet their end cringing and trembling, yes, as cowardly as seems intended in the badly misused adage: like a cowardly rat caught in a trap. Thirty-nine NO GREATER LOVE By CHARLES MOULDON The obscuring blanket of night had passed. The fast rising sun uncov- ered the evidence of devastation hurled by the Imperial Japanese Air Force upon this island, part of a supposedly civilized world. Many of the pic- turesque palm trees which had made this island a scene of beauty were no longer standing. The golf course which had occupied much of the island now had more holes in it than its original eighteen. During peacetime this resort had attracted many people from the adjacent port of Manila. The island was now a tiny outpost guarding one of the approaches to Manila from enemy air raiders who were coming over at ever increasing intervals. One of the six anti-aircraft guns placed on the island was situated on a small hill overlooking the now leveled and battered landscape. As the sun rose higher in the sky, the figures of a man and a dog could be seen near this gun. John Blake and his dog. They had been through much together, these two. John had found the little fellow at their last post on the main- land, left behind by some careless owner, perhaps, left ownerless by death, more likely. John fed him from his own rations, named him Jimmy after his own dog far away at home, and smuggled him along in the boat. Some of the men scoffed at his care of the quivering little cur. No pedi- greed dog, this. Just plain dog, not much to look atg but to John Blake he was a tie with far-away things at home: things like football in crisp autumn weather and baseball in the early spring sun: things like cokes with the school crowd and dances in the school gymg things like long hikes through the woods with Jimmy at his heels, and skating on the pond in January with Jimmy frantically barking and racing along the banks. Yes, this poor little half-starved creature brought him a strange comfort as he snuggled Jimmie down in his foxhole at night. Besides, he had ,always preached the theory that a man's best friend is his dog. Cliff Adams, his gun-mate, would laugh when John expressed this theory. That darned dog is just a nuisance, John. You're his best friend, all right, but I can't see what he does for you. There was the dog, though, keeping right at John's heels as John gath- ered up the empty shell cases and prepared the gun for its next use. Every now and then Jimmy would look up at the heavens as though searching for the craft which brought so much terror down upon them. After finish- ing his preparations, John climbed over the sand bags circling the gun and sat down. Jimmy crawled close to his side. That was pretty bad last night, wasn't it, old fellow? Almost as tough as taking a bath ! John laughed a little, but his momentary gaiety slipped from him as he noticed the look on the little dog's face. Come on, old boy, buck up! Nothing can happen to us while He is on our side. Jimmy licked John's hand gratefully, but his eyes continued to search the skies for the airplanes which had so terrorized him. Just then a jeep speedily approached them, and as it stopped at the bottom of the hill, out from behind the steering wheel jumped Cliff Adams. Spying Blake, he called to him loudly. Hey, Blake, come down and help me carry these shells up. John jumped up at once and ran down to the jeep, Jimmy at his heels as always. Viewing the contents of the jeep, John asked, Where are the rest of them ? That's all, replied Cliff. What's the idea? All we could do with this many is to bluff them. Yeah, that's exactly the idea, Adams replied. Are supplies that low ? John asked. The supplies no longer exist, answered Adams. So that's how we stand, eh? Well, come on, let's carry the shells up to the gun. We might as well make that pea shooter as helpful as possible. Forty ll Cl The two men silently carried the few heavy shells up the hill and placed them next to the gun. Mopping their brows, they sat down to rest, but almost at once they saw a group of specks coming toward them. The specks rapidly increased in size, and soon a low drone became audible. I surely hope they pass over, said Cliff hopefully, and Jimmy shiv- ered as he drew closer to John. Their hope vanished when the formation banked and came in for the first run. Well, let's start firing, said Cliff. Yeah, try to break up the formation coming in on the run, replied John. Suddenly a dive bomber came in from the other side. Cliff shouted a warning and dropped to the ground. John was not fast enough, and the explosion of the bomb, a 350-pounder, blew him from the hilltop down to a- bomb crater made the night before. The little dog was hit by a piece of shrapnel, and a trail of blood followed him as he climbed out of the pit. He dragged himself down the slope, inch by inch. His whole body was quivering with terror. Cliff forgot his own danger as he exposed his head to watch him. Jimmy kept his eyes up, fixed on the dive bombers already peeling off in their downward rush. On crawled the dog, dragging him- self toward John. When he reached him, he tried to push John farther into the crater. His half-exhausted strength, further reduced by terror, failed him. He could not push J ohn's head and shoulders into the compara- tive safety of the crater. Only seconds remained until the next bomb would strike. Jimmy could sense this with the innate cunning of his little animal soul. Hurriedly he laid his own body over his master's shoulders while bombs exploded all around. The spot was alive with shrapnel and shook like jelly from concussion. Cliff, still watching, saw Jimmy's body con- vulse and then relax. After the last planes flew off, apparently satisfied with the destruction they had dealt out, Cliff left the gun and ran to the two figures on the ground. He found John only stunned by the concussions, but Jimmy was dead, his body punctured by many bits of shrapnel. They buried Jimmy a small distance from the bottom of the hill. John had a hard lump in his throat, and his eyes were dim. Cliff looked at him thoughtfully as he said: I guess I was wrong, John, and you were right. It looks as if a dog is a man's best friend. I remember reading once some- thing that said 'No greater love hath a man than this-that he lay down his life for his friend,' and I think Jimmy proved it.

Every student at Southwest realizes his 10 or 25-cent stamp is a small but important part of War Bondspfor Victory. At the beginning of the new semester, war stamp salesmen are elected in the advisory groups. The advisories are divided into four teams. The Forty'-six salesmen elect a captain and co-captain for each team. The duty of the captains and co-captains is to keep all groups on their team up to the 90 per cent mark in the buying of stamps and bonds. Since October 1943, 3505,000 worth of stamps and bonds have been accredited to Southwest. A P-51 Mustang pursuit plane has been pur- chased in the name of Southwest. Our present goal, soon to be realized, is a B-17 Flying Fortress. WAR STAMP SALESMEN Row One: Peggy Placht, Jeanne Dickman, Marie Middleton, Rae Minton.

Let us see what these girls have accomplished during the year. They have been busy knitting and sewing on materials sent to. them by the local Red Cross. The finished products are then returned to the Red Cross headquarters where they are, in turn, distributed to the army and navy hospitals and other places where they are needed. During the first semester, this group has completed nine knitted afghansg 210 pairs of con- valescent slippersg 200 utility bags, 167 of which were filled with Christ- mas gifts for service men, and a variety of garments for infants, including knitted caps and mittens. Besides the work done on Tuesday afternoons, art students under the direction of Miss Kimber and Miss Lodwick have made dozens of holiday menu covers and Christmas cards. They have also completed a set of large posters depicting the months of the year. Two other groups have worked at Wade School: one, of girls under the guidance of Miss Trotter, has sewed utility bags and baby layettes g the other, of boys under Mr. Gillilan's leadership, has made 100 ash trays.

Many colleges offer excellent courses in various fields. Every student who is going to college should join the College Club and learn which College best fits his interest. He may gain accurate information as to expenses, dormitory facilities, distance from home, scholarship opportunities, entrance requirements, and the specialization of any college from the club's up-to- date files. He may share with others the information which he gains. In fact, a College Club member knows what to expect when he enters the college of his choice.

The people of the United States have, during the past few years, begun to realize that they havean up and coming group of people living to the south of their border. For the students who are interested in these newly discovered neighbors, Southwest has a very fine club, the Pan-American. To become a member of this organization, a knowledge of Spanish is not necessary, although such knowledge adds to one's enjoyment of the talks which the guest speakers from South and Central America give. The program this year was quite a pretentious one: Studying the cli- mate, geography, and history of several countriesg keeping abreast of the times by reading current events in Latin America, attending lectures, and gathering travel information. Besides these activities, the members have produced several plays which have added greatly to the interest in and understanding of our fellow Americans from South America. Fifty-one O MATH CLUB Sponsor MR. SMITH The Mathematics Club is one from which the members gain many benefits. Probably the great- est of these is increased ability to ' i I S concentrate. In his essay Of Studies Sir Francis Bacon says if a man's wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics. The group which meets every Monday at 3 o'clock with Mr. Smith has proved that this statement is as true today as it was when it was written in 1597. Row One: Irene Ruppert, Jackie Gilmore.

GEORGE Each spring, station KSD spon- sors and broadcasts a series of old fashioned spelling matches among the schools of the St. Louis area, the primary purpose of which is to make the public spelling con- scious. The Southwest Spelling Club takes part in these contests and practices daily to master many polysyllabic tongue-twisters of the English language. Not only do members of this club uphold the standard of Southwest in these matches, but they also receive valuable training which helps them in their school work and will help them later in their life work. This year, because of war conditions, the spelling match was omitted. Row One: Pat Brayfield, Virginia Miner, Grace Simmons, Patsy Terrell. Row Two: Jules Kernen, Gerry Fite, Loisel Orchard.

JUNIOR ACADEMY OF SCIENCE Sponsor MISS NUEBLING For those students who are interested in studying any phase of the vast field of biological science, Southwest High School is fortunate enough to have a club which specializes in furnishing to them opportunities for carrying out their individual projects and studies. The members of the Anderson Chapter of the Junior Academy of Science have for several years been engaged in performing various experiments relating to the study of botany, Zoology, and other related fields. Among the projects of the past year have been the study and care of snakes and various other rep- tiles, and the preparation of micro- scopic slides for use in the biology laboratories.

Row Four: Harry Frye During four Sunday mornings in spring, the members of the Southwest High School Bird Club serve as leaders in long walks through various parts of Forest Park. These trips, which are sponsored by the St. Louis Bird Club and are open to the general public, are conducted for the purpose of observing the activities and habits of the birds native to the St. Louis area. In these Walks, the members of the club direct the public to the places where birds are most likely to be found, and keep a record of all species which are spotted. By arousing public interest in birds and by directing the attention of many students to the study of bird life, this club attempts to fulfill its primary purpose, the protection of our native bird life. Consequently, each member attempts to do his part in the protection of these beautiful feath- ered inhabitants of our city.

Jw..J:T A new language club has been added tot the list of Southwest's organi- zations. It is the Freude, Freundschaft Klub, or to those who are not familiar with the German language, the Joy, Friendship Club. Last Feb- ruary this group met for the first time. Since then it has been meeting every Friday at 3 o'clock in Room 413. There, the members play games, sing ballads, folk songs, and popular songs in German. They also give plays in German. Picnics and other outings add to the fellowship. Members of this organization have come together for the purpose of having a. good time, making new friends, and furthering their study of the German language. Any Southwest student who is interested in these activities, whether he is studying German or not, is invited to join this club.

Not only is it a new club, but it is a diEerent club, a club for girls who are interested in business! Yes, the good news is true. Are you interested? Last semester, a few girls asked Miss Ray to be the sponsor of a busi- ness club. A week later the first meeting was held, and shortly thereafter a get-acquainted picnic was planned. A goodly number turned out for this, and everyone had a grand and glorious time. While this group is always ready to have some fun, its primary con- cern is business. To this end, several leading business women have spoken to the club, and trips have been taken to various firms in order to acquaint the members with the procedures of the business world. If it is your ambition to become a successful business woman, join the Business Forum.

Fifty-eight BOYS BOWLING CLUB Sponsor MR. BUTCHER One of the most interesting and exciting of Southwest's extra-curricula activities is bowling. Every semester this sport attracts a large and zeal- ous following. Bowling is a sport which combines friendly rivalry, health- ful exercise, good sportsmanship, and plenty of enjoyment. Every Thurs- day at 3:10 p. m. the boys who are members of the club meet at the bowl- ing alleys. Here they spend several pleasure-packed hours and then adjourn for another week. Eight teams compete in the school league. They are the Raiders, the Bucaneers, the Hawks, the Four Aces, the Hellcats, the Demons, the Splits, and the Lucky Five. During the first semester, the Raiders took first place and won the fall trophy. Row One: Clay Bording, Russell Schmidt, Carl Moritz.

F ifty-nine GIRLS ATHLETIC CLUBS All work and no play makes Jill a dull girl. Thus may be paraphrased the old saying. Such an aphorism can never apply to our Southwest girls, however, as there are many clubs which offer them relaxation and pleas- ure. Bowling, volley ball, swimming, badminton, golf, and tennis make a variety from which any girl may make a choice that will please her. Many join the Bowling Club, which is sponsored by Miss Williams. It meets weekly at the Arway alleys on Monday. This club, which numbers some 120 girls, who are divided into twenty-four teams, is one of our larg- est. Anyone who listens will hear devotees speak knowingly of spares and strikes. They speak sadly, too, of pinboys, who, we understand, passed from view with new automobiles, thick juicy steaks, butter, and chewing- gum. However, no one minds. The game goes on and so does the fun. Another large number of girls, who are shepherded by Miss Williams and Miss Sullivan, belong to the Volley Ball Club. This club, like the robin, comes with the spring. During the season, it meets every Wednesday, in rain or sunshine. It numbers more than 100 members. This, in itself, proves that volley ball is tops at Southwest. ' Other girls hie themselves to the Y. W. C. A. on Tuesdays to splash and glide through the water. From these come discussions relative to diving, floating, and life-saving. Miss Sullivan sponsors these mermaids, who tell us that swimming brings health as well as relaxation. The Swim- ming Club is proud to list Doris Bindbeutel, Rosemary Hyer, Ellen Kitts, and Patricia Lawler as being not only life-savers but assistant teachers as well. Ruth Decker and Lois Lauenstein have passed the life-saving test, and Lois Carl, Nancy Frobase, Charlotte Harbor, Carol Hyer, Dorothy Kimmel, Martha Pickering, Pat Terrell, Jean Wasmann, and Aurella Weber are candidates for this honor. Still other enthusiasts will tell us that no game equals the good old Scotch game of golf. Our linksterettes, under the tutelage of Miss Zook, practice faithfully at school and at Tower Grove Park. Later, when the trees put on their spring gowns and the grass becomes a green velvet car- pet, they form foursomes and play on the Forest Park golf course. Gene- vieve Glauser, the club president, won last year's tournament with a 52. Frances Hard, who plays consistently in the 50s, was the runner-up. But Miss Zook tells us that whether the score is good or bad makes no differ- ence. Any girl can enjoy the pleasure and fellowship which comes with golf. 5 'l'll.ll.'. ,- 1a.m1 'hi K i if , ll - ln.. ,fl iv. .

This year Southwesterners again returned to school with a good healthy suntan and al few Victory Garden backaches. Some of the students vacationed on the shores of Lake Michigan and others worked in camps, on the farms, and on the playgrounds. At the Corral, station KMOX broadcast a program of Southwest's junior night-club as one of a series on teen-age activities. Everyone got off to an enthusiastic start at the first Student Council meeting with Ted Pepple as president. Ted an- nounced that one of our goals during the term was to buy enough War Bonds and Stamps to buy a Flying Fortress in the name of Southwest. October. For the second straight year the National Scholastic Press Association gave its highest rating to the Pioneer. The Pumpkin Hop and the Spider Web Spin came through with flying colors, with the South- west Swing Band furnishing the music. The social studies department sponsored a mock presidential election, and the slogan As Southwest goes, so goes the nation again held true. November. Open house was once more welcomed by students UD and parents. A Hello Day aud session was one of the liveliest we have ever seen. The evening was topped off by a dance that brought the day to a friendly close. After a long, hard month of work, Thanksgiving brought four glorious holidays to rest many weary bones. December. While the Eights were showing their class rings to every- one they met, the music groups were rehearsing for the gala Musical Revue. The A Cappella choir sang at Amertorp, Union Station, Mason School, the U. S. O., through the halls, and at the Christmas aud. As a grand finale one mathematician figured that the holidays would be exactly 951,500 seconds long. January. The January class struggled through their final examinations. Harold Hollmann was elected President of the Student Council and immedi- ately set t6 work on such knotty problems as the lunchroom and auditorium situation, the framing of a revised constitution, and the maintenance of the service memorial. February. The poems of thirteen students were selected to be published in the Junior Anthology of Poetry. For the first time in the history of Southwest there was a fashion show, sponsored by Simplicity Patterns. March. Enter to learng go forth to serve was chosen to be the offi- cial motto of Southwest. The band and the choir practiced their various numbers in preparation for the Easter sunrise service. There was also an organ recital in memory of Mr. Wilcox, Who gave Southwest its organ. April. Easter Monday was a memorable day, with Dr. Walter Judd, medical missionary to China and Congressman from Minnesota, who gave one of the most interesting lectures Southwest has ever known. Another interesting aud session was a talk by Dr. Mylonas, who is an archaeologist now teaching at Washington University. Dr. Mylonas spoke on Ancient Civilization of Greece. Southwest also had the privilege of attending the Sectional Oration Contest of the American Legion. Mrs. Irma H. Friede and Mr. Philip J. Hickey spoke to the seniors about Harris Teachers' and Junior College. The Roundup salesmen reported the campaign would go far above its goal. Rehearsals for the senior play were under way, and at any time one might have run into a harassed senior muttering his lines. May. Spring came at last and the baseball diamonds and the track were dry once more. The Senior Play, Quality Street, was a grand suc- cess and the actors and actresses were again normal high school students. June. Another graduation brought more students to a new way of life. The girls will go into various fields of work and colleges. Most of the boys will enter the service to do their share in bringing our country Vic- tory and Peace. Sixty-eight SOUTHWEST INSTRUMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS Sponsor MR. MONACHESI From high Olym- pus, Orpheus, whose music, according to Greek legend, caused stones and trees and beasts to follow him,must look down upon Southwest High School with a smile of satisfac- tion. He must listen with an appreciative ear to the martial music of the South- west Band and the sweet strains of a Viennese waltz, played by the Or- chestrag or he may wonder a bit at the close harmony of the modern Swing Band. The students SWING BAND and faculty of the school, too, listen appreciatively to the playing of these excellent organizations and feel justly proud of them. Members of these groups gain much pleasure from their growing abil- ity to p-lay. They also gain much satisfaction from the fact that they are very helpful to their school and community. This year the Band played at all of Southwest's football games. It played also for the Founders' Day program at the De Soto Hotel and for the Red Cross program at the Buder School. The Orchestra played at many aud sessions this year and, as usual, was on hand for both graduations. The Swing band, the school's newest musical group, has been ever ready to play for the school dances and at the Corral. Truly, these Instrumental Organizations, under their tireless and gifted leader, Mr. Libero Monachesi, are a vital part of Southwest's school life.

Music was given to brighten the gay, and kindle the loving. So says Thomas Moore, the poet, and so say the hundreds of boys and girls who have enjoyed singing at Southwest. Here We have clubs to lit any student's desire-the Advanced Chorus, the Girls Glee, the Boys Glee, and last but by no means least, the Choir. It is no easy task for one to decide Which organization to join, after he has served his apprenticeship in the Advanced Chorus. Should he join one of the Glee Clubs, or should he plunge immediately into that select body of singers-the Choir? One thing is certain: Whatever choice he makes can't be Wrong. The Glee Clubs offer lighter selections, perhaps, than the Choir. Their repertoire includes popular songs such as Night and Day and many light opera selections too numerous to mention. The Choir, which numbers the more advanced students among its members, special- izes in classical and sacred music. Seventy-Iwo v Besides the joy which comes with singing, the members of our singing groups have many opportunities for service both to the school and to the community. This year the school owes them thanks for their splendid work in the Southwest Review of 1944, their beautiful carolling at the Christmas season, and their help in enriching various aud sessions. The community is grateful to them for singing at Amertorp, Union Station, Mason School, and for the Easter sunrise service.

Color! Action! Talented singers, graceful dancers, and excellent direction were just a few of the factors that helped make the Southwest Revue of 1944 a great success! The Revue was the second of its kind to be given by Southwest and was received with unanimous approval. The program followed the same general plan as the first one. Songs and dances were presented in Act I. In Act H a ballroom scene formed the background for featuring our night- ingales, our swing band, a marimba solo, and a bit of magic. Act IH con- sisted of musical selections by the Southwest band. These were acclaimed as worthy of special mention. Supplementing the colorful songs and dances were lovely and appro- priate costumes. The expert and well-planned lighting effects were greeted with ohs,' and ahs of pleasure by the capacity audiences. All scenes and slections are to be commended for excellent taste and expert direction. The Revue, which will long be remembered as one of the most success- ful entertainments presented at Southwest, was under the efficient direc- tion of Miss Hachtman, Mr. Monachesi, and Miss Thym. They were ably assisted by Mr. Erskine, Miss Gibbons, Miss Skinner, and Mr. Smith. The program was as follows: Star-Spangled Banner' Overture- Old Timers' Waltzes Southwest High School Orchestra ' In the Good Old Summertime Emma Jean Kraemer, John Donnelly, Delores Rascher, Howard McCreary, Helen Cataldi, Jim Brown, Jeanne Burke, Herbert Biederman.

It is often mistakenly thought that Dramatics is only for those inter- ested solely in acting. This is- not so! Dramatics is also for those interested in all phases of the theatre, including the Writing, casting, directing, stage setting, and producing of plays, for both the stage and the radio. The classes, which are under the direction of Miss Meenach, participate in many diierent types of activities. The term usually begins with the enacting of pantomimes. The pantomimes, which last semester were pre- sented for an audience of students of various study halls, give the dra- matists much practical experience in the art of acting. During the first semester both classes gave historical plays for the Freshmen Orientation Group. These plays taught a history lesson in a thoroughly enjoyable man- Eighty s' t , 1 ner. Students, selected from both classes, participated in an aud sessibn last fall when the procedure of the electoral college was illustrated. The climax of the study for both classes, however, came with Christmas plays? Both were one-act plays and were given for audiences. These Were the principal activities of the fall semester. This spring the advanced classes are doing radio Work. They are work- ing with the Audio-Visual Department in connection with a series of broad- casts for the Board of Education. The students participating in these broadcasts have been given directions from Miss Elaine Deubs, script Writer of the Audio Visual Department, and Mr. Gordon Carter, production direc- tor of KMOX. Even if Dramatics doesn't produce all Bernhardts and Barrymores, it is bound to do certain very important things for the members of the classes. It Will help every member to gain poise, grace, and good posture. It will also help each one to overcome shyness and self-consciousness. Last, but not least, all members will be given help in developing more pleasing voices and more attractive personalities.

Eighty-one CLASS PLAY Director MISS REILLY The rehearsals are over, the stage is set, the lights go out, and the curtain rises on the quaint little blue and white room in the home of the Misses Throssel of Quality Street, a play written by James M.Barrie and presented by the senior classes of South- west High School on Thurs- day afternoon, May 3, and Friday evening, May 4. The play is the story of a pleasantly broad and grass-grown street in a quiet little English country town, and of two dear, charming ladies who reside in the street. The character of Miss Phoebe Throssel, the leading feminine role in the play, was excellently portrayed by Betty Ann Gertz. Her prim man- ner and her little airs and graces reminded one of the lines spoken by Captain Brown in the play when he said, You have been to me, Miss Phoebe, like a quiet old-fashioned garden full of the flowers that English- men like best because they have known them longest. Dorismae Thompson's interpretation of the character of Miss Susan Throssel showed rare acting ability on her part. The part of the dashing Captain Brown was so cleverly enacted by Don Nichols that he captivated the hearts of the entire feminine audience. Much credit should be given to the rest of the members of the cast for their uniformly fine acting which contributed in a large measure to the success of the play.

PIONEER .- yivnss MURPHY ' Sponsors iivuss DQLINIERE If a medal formservice above and beyond the call of duty were offered at Southwest, a deserving prominent candidate would be the Pioneer. In fact, each member of the hard-working staff should be decorated, for these are the students who observe and report the people and activities that make Southwest tick. Under the editorial sponsorship of Miss Murphy and the business spon- sorship of Miss deLiniere, the staff publishes the Pioneer every two weeks. To assure a group of students adept at writing and able to meet this bi- weekly deadline, two consecutive classes in journalism are now offered. r While the initial class learns to write for publication, the second actually plans and puts out the Pioneer. Ever since the war began, each issue has been sent to many former Southwesterners now in the service. A huge majority of students sub- scribe to the paper each semester, and to top it all, for the past two years the Pioneer has won All-American honor rating from the National Scho- lastic Press Association.

The Public High School League opponents of Southwest piled up a total of 151 points as compared with the 18 points of the Steers. The first of Southwest's two victories of the season came when the team defeated Collinsville of Illinois to the tune of 2-0. The victory is attributed to Tackle Welsh's cap- ture of the ball in Collinsville pay-dirt terri- tory after Collinsville had fumbled while at- tempting a wide right end run. The other victory went to Southwest over North Side Catholic of St. Louis by the score of 18-0, by far the largest score to be gathered in one contest by the gridiron eleven this season. The predictions of many of Southwest's sports fans and prophets were upset by the unexpected turn of events in the Steers' three toughest games of the year. The Longhorns, playing heads-up football, came through beautifully in the games with Beaumont, District and City Champions, McKinley, City Championship title contenders, and St. Louis U. High, Dis- trict title runners-up. Eighty-seven VARSITY FOOTBALL ' Coach MR. ASHLEY Row One: Bob Stogsdill, Willie Zuppas, Gale King, Bill Farrell, Arnold Winsett, Bill Welsh, Jack Varble.

MCKINLEY DOWNS SOUTHWEST The Longhorns went down to the Black and Gold wave of McKinley in the first game of the Public High League on October 5, by the score of 33-6. The Goldbugs' forward wall of offense ripped through the Southwest line to score once in the first quarter, once in the third, and three times in a crushing, bruising last period. Southwest scored in the third period when Gene Bauer passed to Varble at left end. Varble, who was in the end zone, caught the ball and went untouched. The Steers, however, failed to convert. REDWINGS ROPE STEERS For the first time in many, many long years the Redwings of Central High defeated Southwest, 14-0. Southwest's defense again showed itself to be sadly lacking in that quality which makes for good football: the Redwings scored in the first and last minutes of the game. ROUGHRIDERS ROUGH LONGHORNS On October 20, the Roughriders of Roosevelt High rode rough-shod over the luckless eleven of Southwest by the score of 25-0. The Green and Gold repulsed Roosevelt in the first period, but slipped for two tallies in both the second and third periods. The Longhorns began functioning again in the last quarter and held the Red and Whites for a scoreless quarter. BROWN AND GOLD DEFEAT SOUTHWEST The Brown and Gold tide of Soldan High tallied five times during the course of the contest on October 27. The final score remained at 30-0. During this game the fans saw two fairly matched teams come together, but one had the deciding factor of experience weighing in its favor. Eighty-eight i Coach MR.

CLEVELAND BEATS LONGHORNS On November 3, the much-vaunted aerial attack of the Fenengamen proved to little or no avail in the wettest game of the season, bar none. In a game in which only three passes were attempted by both sides, none of which were completed, straight running, hard-hitting ground plays made up the majority of play. Uniform obscured by mud, Len Behrendt turned in his usual' dependable, driving performance, which fans were coming to recognize as tops in Southwest football playing. The Southside Dutchmen scored once in the first quarter and once in the third for a total of 13 points. Southwest failed to score. BLUE JACKETS ROUT STEERS The championship Beaumont team, sparked by hard-hitting Bob Gorke, all-star end, downed the Longhorns on November 18, in the last league game of the season, by the score of 33-6. The Blue Jackets scored in all periods, tallying twice in the second, once in all the others. Gorke, with his usual precision booting, converted three times out of the five chances. The Green and Gold of Southwest had a bad season this year. There is no denying that fact. But to the football players of Southwest, the fans say thanks and thanks a lot for giving their best. The breaks were down on the Steers, but they kept on, fighting for every chance that offered itself. So again, the fans say thanks for a fine football season. Eighty-nine VARSITY BASKETBALL Coach MR.

During the 1944-45 basketball season, Lady Luck turned away from the Southwest basketball team. Our team played twelve non-league .games and seven league games. The best the boys could do was to win two non- league games. However, live of the games were lost by fewer than four points. The breaks just weren't with Southwest. The first non-league game of the season was played in Wood River. We lost that game, 51-24.4 The team also lost to nine other high schools in the non-league play. Two games which Southwest came close to win- ning were the games with Fairview and Kirkwood. The contest with Fair- view was decided by one pointy the one with Kirkwood by three points. In the Normandy Tournament, Southwest lost first to Webster, and then, in a very hard-fought game, to Roosevelt. Northside Catholic and Christian Brothers High were the only two teams that fell before the Green and Gold tide. In the Northside Catholic game, Southwest came from behind to win, 31-28. The game with Chris- tian Brothers had a surprise ending. Most observers favored Christian Brothers, but the Steers swamped them to the tune of 40-17. Ninety The league games with Central and McKinley were heartbreakers. ln both gamnes Southxvest had a substantkn lead at the end of the second quarter, only to lose the lead and the game by one point. The other five games were lost by larger margins. There is no doubt that the boys on the team did their best, but the fact that quite a number of the boys had not played on the team before, and the departure of Ducheck and Farrand in mid-season was a hard blow to the team. Most of the student body expect to find Southwest in a totally different position next season. B TEAM Row One: John Pleasants, Lanoice Harrell, Vernon Koester, Gene Overbeck, Richard Pleasants.

Ninety- one BOYS' TENNIS Coach MR. GERBER Although fighting with all the grit, determination, and skill of former years, the members of the Southwest High School Tennis Team lost their two-year standing as champions of the Public High School Tennis League with Soldan in first place and Beaumont in second. The Green and Gold slipped to third place, even though they were backed by the formidable playing of Bob Ziervogel, first singles and captain of the team 5 Dick Herr, second singles, Ted Wood and Herman Ottenad, third singlesg and Paul Davis and Isaac Young, doubles. These boys concluded the season with the laudable record of having won twenty-three of their twenty-eight matches. The Longhorns completely routed McKinley on the first day of the season, 4-0. On the succeeding days, they defeated Cleveland, Roosevelt, and Blewett. They tied Soldan, Central, and Beaumont. Bobby Ziervogel, the indomitable veteran, exhibited his usual brilliant playing by Winning all of his matches. The rest of the team played unusu- ally well, making a number of rather startling upsets. Ted Wood, third singles, fought under a great handicap in the last match, for his foot had been injured in a previous game. The entire team received a great deal of inspiration from his fighting spirit. Due to the graduation of Bob Ziervogel and Isaac Young, only four members of the team will remain next year: Dick Herr, Ted Wood, Paul Davis, and Herman Ottenad. Under the leadership of Coach Gerber, these boys will form the nucleus of the 1945 team, a team which will have excel- lent possibilities for recapturing the championship for Southwest. Ninety-two BASEBALL D By DON MURRAY Coach MR. WILLIAMS Row One: Marvin Hacay, Ronald McCarthy, Harold Miller, Gene Bauer, Frank Dan- iels, Dale Craig, Gene Watson. Row Two: Phil Alotta, Bill Wagner, Bob Stogsdill, David Wiber, Don Murray, Charles Haley. ' Row Three: Lee Holdman, John Winterton, Donald Shults, Mr. Williams fCoachJ, Merrill Turner, Bill Jones, George Lindsey. The prophets saw very little chance for our 1944 Southwest Longhorns. Of the preceding year's championship team, there were but three seasoned veterans and two reserves returning. Harold Miller, ace moundsman: Cap- tain Gene Bauer, portside chucker and also a capable outfielderg and Frank Daniels, speedy centerfielder,-were the old timers. Gene Watson and Dale Craig, returning keystone-sack guardians, were up for a berth with the regulars. Donning their uniforms fresh from the mothballs, our defending cham- pions dropped their first contest to St. Louis University High, 9-2. Harold Miller, Gene Bauer, and Ken George did the mound chores for the Long- horns, while Ken Wild, St. Louis' ace moundsman, puzzled the Southwest nine for the Junior Bills. In other practice games, the Southwesterners tied the Black and Gold of McKinley, 8-85 the team breezed through two Ninety-three encounters with Affton, Harold Miller capturing the first, 6-3. Aiton got only five hits and three unearned runs off the slants of Miller. Don Murray chucked the second, holding Affton hitless for four innings, while his team- mates piled up nine runs and glided to a 12-4 victory. Webster bulldozed the Longhorns twice g Don Murray, rookie right-hander, was the victim in the first game, 10-4, while Gene Bauer was beaten in the second, 4-1. St. Johns found Milleris chucking very puzzling, as he turned them back 4-2, allowing them but seven hits. Murray and Miller lost to the Beaumont squad on our home grounds, 6-4. In the league scuffles, Miller downed Blewett, 6-1, in the inaugural league game of the year, during which Blewett did little with Miller's slants as they scored only one run on six hits. Gene Bauer also gave his opponents plenty of trouble while on the mound for Southwest. He turned back Roosevelt, 6-0, for the only shut-out of the year by the Longhorns. Our mound aces had a bit of trouble with Beaumont. Bauer dropped a league decision to the Bluejackets at Fairgrounds Park, 3-2, in a game which went into extra innings. Miller also ran over the Cleveland Dutch- men when they came up Sublette way, the Longhorns having their best day at the expense of the Orange and Blue, stampeding them 11-4. They collected fourteen hits, including five two-baggers and a home run by Frank Daniels. Miller held the Dutchmen to four runs on six hits and struck out four. Miller lost an extra-inning scuHle to Soldan when the ball was lost in the weeds at the Stadium, and thus enabled Ridinger, the Tiger third- sacker, to collect a four-bagger and win the game for Soldan, 4-3. The boys from Central went home shaking their heads after bowing to Bauer's superior fast ball and were undoubtedly glad that they would not have to face him again. Our blond captain turned them back, 6-2, giving them only seven hits, while striking out eleven. In the final league game of the year, Miller subdued McKinley in extra innings, 5-2. - The two defeats at the hands of Soldan and Beaumont eliminated the Longhorns' chance for the championship and clinched the title for Beau- mont. Nevertheless, our fighting team ended the season with the enviable record of five wins and two losses. We hope that next year's team will bring the trophy to Southwest. TRACK Coach MR. GERBER Although the Southwest Cindermen scored only 435 points and took only fifth place in the annual Field Day Classic of 1944, it was not due to lack of enthusiasm nor spirit on the part of the team nor the fans. Every man on the track squad went all out in his efforts to pull in points for his school. The squad was coached by Mr. Gerber, who did a fine job of coaching. Our Senior Division deserves a great deal of credit. They scored twenty- five points by taking two first places, three third places, and two fifth places. Ken Novack took first in the 100-yard dash and first in the broad jump. While winning first place in the broad jump, Novack set a new record. He jumped 22' 954 It can easily be seen that Novack was the man of' the hour for Southwest High. The credit for the three 'third places belongs to King, McCreary, and Behrendt. King took third in the shot- put, McCreary tied for third in the high jump, and Behrendt took third in the pole vault. Behrendt probably would have taken first or second, but his pole broke, and he was forced to use one to which he was not accustomed. Ninety-four ' TRACK Row One: Bill Bevan, Gale King, Howard McCreary, Len Behrendt, Curtis Brostron, Rodney Luhn, Ken Novack, Bob Simon, Gerald Winterton. Row Two: Bob Hudson, Jack Overturf, John Drolshagen, Lowell Braasch, Don Spack- ler, Ted Pepple, Nathan Martin,,Glenn Siefert, Eugene F. Franz. Row Three: Arnold Winsett, Vince ,Cunetto, John Donnelly, Jack Schulte, Arnold Erutti, Tom Mort, Tom Franz, Lyle Heap, Frank Gilk, Bob Minor, George Kautz. Row Four: Bill Hallett, Louis Kuehner, Earl Grothman, Ernest Giudici, Don Eckles, Eugene Gross, Robert Bowe, Melville Mitschrich, Kenneth Hauck, Don Cameron. Row Five: Mr. Gerber fCoachJ, Reinhardt Bergmann, Mark Jaeger, Marlin Craig, Jack Guth, Richard Mehringer, Richard Huber. Our Junior Division also showed that fight which characterized the entire Southwest squad. The Juniors took one first p-lace, one third place, and one fifth place. Don Spackler tied for first place in the pole vault, and Lowell Braasch took third in the 50-yard dash. In the relay, Drolshagen, Braasch, Overturf, and Guth took fifth place. The division which has the youngest boys is the Novice Division. The boys in it are always prospects for future years. The midgets took one second place, three fourth places, and two fifth places. Nathan Martin, the tallest of the midgets, took second in the 50-yard dash, fourth in the 75- yard dash, and fourth in the broad jump. Grothman took fourth in the the relay, Franz, Hudson, Martin, and Mehringer took sixth place. The squad, while not very successful as a whole, worked hard. All Southwest may Well be proud of the fighting spirit and good sportsmanship which the track team of 1944 showed.

GERBER Although for several years Southwest High School has maintained a cross-country running team, a district Cross-Country League was organized for the first time this year, and a really efficient set-up came into being. Previously, the members of the team had run at the Public School Stadium between the quarters of the football games. This did not prove satisfac- tory, and the meet last fall was held on the campus of Washington Uni- versity. Southwest did not take first place in this contest. The team, however, came in a close third, having secured 155 points, as against the 210 of Normandy and the 175 of Beaumont. Of the sixty-eight boys from the St. Louis area who competed in the meets, Southwest had two who ranked in the upper third, Tom Mort and John Donnelly. The other members of the team were Bowe, Dowell, Sheets, Schulte, and Heap, all of whom are eli- gible to receive letters. Southwest is hopeful that next year, with several experienced runners, the team will secure first-place honors. Ninety-six GOLF Coach MR. BREW Row One: Charles Mouldon, Paul Byrne, Ray McAnnar, Dale Moslander. Row Two: Jim Downey, Gordon Thompson, John McEvoy, Bernard Dell. 1 Last spring Southwest started with what promised to be a champion- ship golf team. The boys won their first three practice matches by deci- sive margins. In fact, they won five of every six games they played. When the time for the tournament play came, however, Mr. Brew discov- ered, much to his sorrow, that two of his best players were ineligible. This left the team two men short of the six which the tournament rules state must enter. This meant that Southwest was out of the competition. In spite of last season's disappointment the school is looking forward to the coming season with anticipation. The golf fans are sure that Mr. Brew and his golf team will give a good account of themselves and, per- haps, bring home a trophy. Ninety-seven SOUTHWEST CI-IEER LEADERS Sponsor MISS MURRAY Rain or shine, win or lose, the Steers can always rely on at least five loyal rooters to spur them on. They are Miss Murray's faithful cheer lead- ers, Charles Deters, Betty Lou Berra, Katie Schimmer, John Winterton, and Donald CRedJ Wendt. Winterton and Wendt are Southwest's head cheerers, while Deters, having led the yells for the past three years, is the stand-by of the quintet. Joy Lewis, who participated for the first half of the 1944-1945 sport season, also served faithfully for three years. The cheer leaders do their stuff at football and basketball games and at the field meets. They are always on the job and lend essential support to our teams. We couldn't get along without themg and so let's get behind them and give a big cheer for the cheer leaders. Ninety-eight SOUTHWEST COACHES No matter how proficient its members may be, a team can't be success- ful without the support of a competent, hard-working coach. Southwest is fortunate to have a staff of such coaches at the heads of the various inter- scholastic sports. Mr. Williams skillfully handles Southwest's baseball team as well as coaching the B basketball squad and assisting Mr. Gerber with track. Mr. Ashley, who is a newcomer to Southwest this year, coaches our football team and also helps with basketball and track. Mr. Gerber is the head man where track and other field sports are concerned. He also coaches tennis, which has been one of the brightest stars in our sports activities. Mr. Polster is the coach of varsity basketball, and Mr. Brew is the power behind the golf team. In writing of our coaches, we must remember our business manager, Mr. Chervenka. Although the coaches choose their opponents and arrange the schedules, it is Mr. Chervenka's job to handle contracts and correspondence between the schools, in addition to the selling of the tickets. Let us all give a hearty cheer for our coaches: Yea, Southwest! Yea, coaches! Yea, Yea, Southwest coaches! ' Ninety-nine if fix. I 1 K.. I 'Q gf 1 ,A pi. .f jf .ng sp' ffl!
