Cfhe Remmiscence of a Life'r j THE DAY dawned cool and rainy. Fortyffour boys and six faculty made the single 'lspecialw at Kingshighway and Maryland. It went so far into the country that the passengers got discouraged and wanted to take it right back to town. On learning that it would not return until five o'clock, disgust knew no bounds. Most of the sofcalled student body had been left stranded by the decease of Smith Academy. That was the best reason they had for coming to so strange and newf fangled an affair as a Country Day School. The discovery that the whole day was to be spent in the country came as a distinct shock, and an afternoon study hour CWhat to do?j was a crowning outrage. By dint of force and persuasion the group was collected in what is now the Lower School study hall, where Mr. Hoffman outlined the 'laims and ideals of this new enterprise in which the parents Knot boysj had taken such an interest. The writer distinctly recalls looking over the group and understanding fully the yearning of the parents for an all day school in the country. Later in the morning some classes were held. It fell to the writers' lot to inaugurate the Latin courses with Class V, at that time the oldest class. Ford and Hemingway occupied rear seats and started at once a lively and audible comparison of 'lthis dump with the late Smith Academy. When a request for the floor was made by the professor, a most surprised expression appeared on their rubicund countenances and they never quite forgave the inf terruption, which however proved not to be serious. Alterations on the building were, as in most succeeding Septembers, incomplete. The noise of the carpenter was heard in the land. Minnie and her minions served a delicious luncheon, which was eaten in rapt silence. Mrs. johnan started her rule in the office, which still continues. As it rained most of the day and the playing field was a sea of mud, and also, as there were no play clothes about and no one who knew anything to do, HOT' ganized sportv was suspended for the day. Because he looked, and was, easy, the author of this article was delegated to escort the boys on a walk, on which they were to 611 their lungs with rich country air and possibly pick up some knowledge of farming and botany. The route lay down the hill to the car track, north toward Florissant to Kinloch Station, and back by Brown road. The expedition was lacking somehow in the idyllic quality which Thoreau would have predicted for it. Lack of cohesion necessitated frequent round ups. The present cross countrysv were popular by comparison. Predatory attacks were made on cattle and poultry. A hayf stack provided fine sliding, but damage to his hay incurred the wrath of the owner and brought a formal complaint to the headfmaster next day. Everyone returned safe and sound and in the worst of spirits embarked on the afternoon study hour. Study in any form was a new experience for most of them and a whole hour of it seemed just too much. Both faculty and students survived, however, and with the departure of the special, the curtain dropped on the extraordinary first day of the St. Louis Country Day School. 1929 Semzimzs VF , ,, 7. , 15, ww 'ii 1 ev. -sh gf vw: lx 5 V -f:'EBa3Q.

Class of IQZQ HENRY MCINTYRE, President OR THE past seven years it has been the policy of the graduating class to eulof gize upon its activities. Far be it from us to deviate from this practise of our predecessors, but, lest this seem a wanton display of egotism, be it said that this is merely an attempt On our part to show the place the Class of 1929 has held in the school life. Four members, including the Chairman, of the Student Council were Seniors. The President, VicefPresident, and one other member of the Executive Committee of the Athletic Association were members Of Class One. The President, the Vicef President, the Secretary, and the Treasurer of the Tfoubadours, as Well as the Presif dent of the Masque, were all Seniors. In the realm of athletics our class has amassed the astounding total of 61 major sport letters during its participation in varsity competition, not to mention our part in minor sports. This past year the captains Of all four major sports were Seniors, as were the managers of three. In addition from our number came six lettermen in football, four in basketball, one in track, and five in baseball. We were represented in minor sports by seven members On the soccer team, the captain of the fencing team, and one member on the tennis team. The EditOrfinfChief of the News and four members of the staff, as well as the Chairman and ten members of the staff of the Codasco, were from Class One.

Dolph enjoys one conf tinuous meal from morning till night,-and yet not an inch does he add to his athletic waistfline, not an ounce does he add to his constant weight. With about ro Hershey bars, 4 or 5 Oh Henrys, a few Babe Ruths, Malty Milkies, Lady Betties, and several packages of gum, Dolph arrives at school prepared to do a day's work. Yet far be it from Dolph to forego the morning supply of milk and crackers. On the contrary, this affords Dolph a chance to replenish his stock of eatables which has sadly diminished during the ride on the special. However this youth seems to thrive on this diet, for he is always in trim to fire a fusilade of questions at Mr. Young in class after such a session at the dining room. Besides being a star on the gridiron, Dolph is a valuable member of the soccer team, and as captain of the track team has made an excellent record. He also proved himself an actor in the Troubador showg and when it comes to passing exams, we all have to hand it to him-Dolph certainly does know his Michigan exams. L'Wait, F11 get a Hershey.

Aside from versatile ability in athletics, which gained him the honor of being the only three letter man last year, he has distinguished himself in all forms of school activities. He played a leading role in the Troubadour play this year, and has also been President of his class. His services have been faithfully rendered to the Student Council for three ears. Y Despite his usual dignified attitude, Ottfboy is playfulness itself Whenever his inseparable companion, McIntyre, is concerned and especially whenever Disbrow and Hammett desire to attempt studying in the second period.

He ended his football career at Country Day by heading his team to victory over St. Louis U. High, which gave us the championship of the Prep League. This, inf cidentally, is the first football championship the school has ever won. Besides being a star in football, he has won letters in basketball and baseballMand has thereby become one of the few threeflettermen. As one might suppose, John is a hard worker and what he makes up his mind to do, he does! However, he looks upon his achieve' ments lightly, and dislikes the mention of them. John and Frank Hammett, the high point men in the game of squashffender, take great delight in terrifying the motorists whom they happen to meet en route to school, another game they amuse themselves by, Chasit, is a game in which there may be as many participants as desired, and as many baseballs as may be obtained from Manager Roth. The object of the game is to throw the ball out of reach of one's opponent, the opponents task is to retrieve the ball without physical exertion. John is going to Princeton and is expected to win as many honors there as he has won at C. D. S. Pretty Dog, Eh, Chase?

Although Bill often gives vent to such childishness, he is one of the most prominent members of the Senior Class. For two years Bill has held down the important berth of end on the football team, and has also been valuable to the baseball team as an utility man. Aside from his athletic prowess, Bill has also played a prom' inent part in other activities, being the representative of his class on the Athletic Association and President of the Troubadours, in whose productions for the past two years he has assumed a leading role. Bennie is one of the best looking and best dressed members of his class and when he glides down the boulevard in that slick, blue Chrysler, no fair damsel can be blamed for looking twice. All these traits help to make up one of the most popular and best liked fellows of the school. 'LAw, go jump in the lakefl I 1929 Seven years at Country Day.

Frank is one of the many literary aspirants on the campus, and the morning before a game he seldom fails to have his fluent articles ready in the globe to let the city know how Codasco is faring in the realm of sport. Although he has difficulty in getting his written work in before the class is over, Frank always comes through with grades that astonish himself more than anyone else. Long after the sad news has been proclaimed Frank can be heard moaning, Gee, I think that's a gyp, Gosh. One of the deep mysteries as yet unsolved, is what for whoml Franklin is thinking about when he is caught napping off second after one of his historyfmaking doubles, Although Frank saw service in only a few games in football this year, his excellent spirit was in evidence throughout the season in practice.

Although Nat worked under Mr. Young in Physics this year, he still thinks that Science is a worthy calling, and is determined to enter Boston Tech next fall.

But it is for a few hours only, because Jim will not deign to stay after one o'clock, but must wend his way back to town with all speed to do anything but what his excuse for leaving calls for. Junior has the knack of making excuses not only for going in early, but also for going to Michigan. Everytime he is seen, he is either going to or coming from his future Alma Mater. He takes these trips os' tensibly for studies, but those on the inside know that that is just a blind to get him to another housefparty. When Jim was in his sophomore year and just one of the hard working hoifpolloi, he showed he was built along athletic lines by earning his letter in three sports. Since then he has become lazy, as befits a senior, and only comes out occasionally. This year he departed from his retirement only to captain the basket ball team for the second time.

When started on a pet topic, such as the Federal Reserve, trains, or the League of Nations, Mal is as loquacious as the day is long. His chief delight is trains. He can recite the time tables of about fifteen different railroad companies without batting an eye, and would rather spend a day watching trains switching back and forth down at Union Station than doing anything else in the world. Under his management the News has maintained the standards of excellence set by the former editors and has appeared as regularly as the Honor roll on Friday mornings. The work Mal has put in on the News cannot be estimated-certainly it is more than he gave to his studies, and has anyone ever heard of Mal coming to a class without his lesson done?

His real delight in life was his new Ford coupe which held its place in front of the Lower School almost every day. In spite of all of his devotion to duty, Mac had his playful moments, and while in such a mood, one could almost always find him in the company of Frank Hammett. He and Frank took great joy in engaging in a puzzling sort of lingo which none but Mac and Frank could understand. Great things are expected of Mac while in Princeton, and we all believe that he will more than live up to these expectations.

At times his interest in lab seems perhaps a little superficial and it is hard to be sure that it isn't merely a means to loaf away the timeg but appearances are too often deceiving to allow us to believe that it isn't truly the unquenchable spirit of science burning in Mac's bones. Mac is besides a true lover of music. In the byfgone days of the school orchestra, he devoted his musical talents to mastering the cornet, but now it is as a pianist that he is giving free run to his artistic temf perament.

It was his one ambition to beat Mr. Hughes in this pastime, but Scott would usually walk away disappointed to seek an easier adversary. L'Greasy , as he was so affectionately termed by some of his acquaintances, took the part of the Mikado in the Troubador play.

Yale is a college in New England. In his address to the alumni, Mr. Singleton stressed the value of constant reading of good literature, especially fiction. He said, in part: I began reading Scaramouche in 1928, and I expect to finish it soon. The same with Huckleberry Firm. I got a lot out of looking at the pictures in the Rover Boy Series, too, and my advice to young men is: Select a few good books and stay with them, even if you don't finish them, you can always sell them for something. From the New York Times: Thomas McPheeters writes from Tahiti that he is greatly gratihed by the success of his latest volume of poems, Foam ofthe Tropic Brine. He is planning another play, dealing with prehistoric man, the scene will be laid in Princeton, which offers so much material for the study of primitive types. Mr. Mcf Pheeters has been awarded the Larkin Prize for Poetry for his exquisite gem entitled Aloha, Papeeze. Readers will recall the haunting lines: A wispy length of cloud Floats languorously Across the sun Like a bar. A bar. . . Let me think. . . Memories. . . The Larkin Prize for Poetry is one of the many public benefactions established by the wellfknown manufacturer, James Larkin. Mr. Larkin said, in this connection: From my boyhood days I loved poetry, especially the grand verse of Shakespeare, Milton, and Browning. While other boys frittered away their time at the movies, I studied spondulix and iambuses and suchflike. It is to encourage poets that I offer three annual prizes of one thousand dollars each. I am very glad to learn that Tom McPheeters won a prize this year. I was a classmate of his'n. Associated Press dispatch: Arthur Calfee, ambassador at the court of St. James, has just released for publication his book on Glimpses of Royalty. Mr. Oalfee's inf timacy with royalty of all kinds dates from his student days, when he hobnobbed with the king of Denmark. The present monarch of Denmark was so pleased with Mr. Oalfee's account of his late father that he decorated the author with the Order of Tidje Winx. Among other potentates of whom Mr. Calfee writes entertainingly are the Queen of Roumania, the Shah of Persia, and A1 Capone, the czar of Chicago. Mr. Calfee hopes that his experiences with royalties from books will be equally successful. FROM the Detroit News' Bishop Hammett addressed the members of the National Education Association here today. He attacked the younger generation for its negligence of study and mad pursuit of frivolities. When I was in preparatory school, he said, my classmates and I never thought of questioning the wisdom of our elders. Our time was employed in mastering our studies, for recreation, we had athletics and an occasional afternoon at the museum or perhaps one of Shake' I 1929 I THE tiunuauscxx Q20 speare's plays. The condition of modern youth is deplorable. Only yesterday I found a highfschool student reading a magazine called College Humor. Upon perusing six or seven copies, I saw that the material was quite unfit for one of tender age, and I have ordered the volumes of the last ten years to see if the rest were as bad. I also detected several Seniors smoking cigarettes, of a brand that no advertising agency has asked me to endorse. We must return to the old discipline, if this nation is to survive. From the Reno Bugle: Adolph Boettler, prominent lunchfstand proprietor, was robbed this morning in a daring daylight holdfup. Boettler was knocked unconscious by his assailant, thought to be the notorious gangster, Chippy Robinson. The motive for the crime was attributed to a misunderstanding which found its origin at the St. Louis Country Day School where the foundation for these two were pref pared for their careers. Samuel Futzur Mitchell, famous detective, is on the trail of the gunman.

HUGHES THE 1928 Codasco football team was one of the best teams in the history of the school. The team hnished the season with a victory over St. Louis U. High School which placed Codasco tied with Western Military Academy for the chamf pionship of the St. Louis Preparatory League. Including nonfleague games Country Day won five, lost two, and scored 128 points to their opponents 38. There were many things which contributed to the development of the team and made the above record possible. First, the ten days prefseason football camp was a big factor in conditioning the team and developing a team spirit. Its value can not be correctly estimated but I believe the following facts are significant. Of the eleven boys who were regularly on the team, ten had attended camp. Of the fifteen players who were awarded letters, eleven attended camp. During the season four boys suffered injuries which prevented them from participating in one or more games and not one of these boys had the pref season training. Second, the faithful observance of training rules was in a large measure responsible for the stamina, endurance and morale of the team. A clean cut example of training and sportmanship was set for the team by its captain John Disbrow, and the members responded wholeheartedly. Finally the team owes much of its success to the competent coaching of Mr. J. Strong and to the efficient work contributed by Mr. R. Baldwin and Mr. R. Murphy. ic V+-ff-ng 1 1929 I QE? Country Day 75 McBride 6 IN THE first game of the season, the Codasco eleven succeeded in avenging last year's defeat at the hands of the McBride High by downing the Colonnaders, 7f6. The contest was witnessed by our entire student body and McBride students who came out in six buses. The game proved to be one of the rnost exciting tilts ever played on the Codasco field. During the Hrst half, the Red and White gridders held the advantage, but as the game progressed, the Colonnaders grew stronger and finally in the last session scored their touchdown. The most effective play which Coach Hughes' charges used was a right end run with Husch, left halfback, who ran again and again for consistently large gains, carrying the ball. Quarterback Tupper repeatedly made line plunges with excellent interference and often broke through for open field runs. The game was marred, as many first games are, by frequent fumbles and penalties. A blocked punt behind Codasco's goal line was the cause of McBride's only score. Captain Disbrow's playing on the line was very good. McBride's star was Reynolds, their veteran quarterback. 1929 CODKSCO XXXCSEEL, l Western 75 Country Day O CODASCO lost its second Preparatory School League game to Western by a score of 7fo in a hard fought game. However, the game was loosely played on both sides, and had it not been for many fumbles the score would have been quite different. The loss of this game gave Western first place in the Preparatory School League race. During most of the first half the Red and White gridders and Western played on even terms. However, just before the half ended, a costly fumble by Codasco gave the ball to Western on the former's three yard line, Smiley called the old Uquarterf back sneak and went over for a touchdown. Hesley's kick hit the crossbar and bounced over, and the half ended 7fo in favor of Western. Codasco started off the third quarter by fumbling again, giving the ball to Western on Codasco's thirtyf five yard line. By line plunges and one end run Western was able to get the ball over, but the Red and White gridders got a break when Western was penalized fifteen yards for holding. Western remained in scoring position during the rest of the quarter, but could do nothing against the Codasco team, which seemed to have found itself. In the last stanza Country Day came back with a great deal of light, Husch thrilled the spectators with a thirtyffive yard run, and a Western penalty for offside put the ball in scoring position, but Codasco's interference failed, and Country Day lost her one chance to score. For Western,Smiley and Davenport in the backfield and Brash, Derris,and Hansen starred. For Country Day, Husch and Tupper in the backfield and Calfee and Carpenter in the line starred. + 1929 I THE CODASCO ' QYO , Country Day 315 C. B. C. 7 COUNTRY DAY in her third Preparatory School League game crushed C. B. C. by a score of 51f7. The Brothers were unable to cope with the Red and White eleven's excellent interference and driving offensive. This was Country Day's second league victory against one defeat and it kept them in the race for the championship. Early in the first half Tupper crashed through center for a touchdown. Kliefoth's kick was wild. January received the kickoff, and he passed to McDonald, C. B. Cfs small but fast right halfback, who raced around left end for seventy yards before he was overtaken by Boettler on the three yard line. Cn the next play january went over for the Brother's lone touchdown. Lamb's kick was good. On the first play of the second quarter Tupper went over for Codasco's second touchdown. The try for the extra point failed. Neither team was able to gain anymore, and the half ended 12f7 in Country Day's favor. In the second half, end runs for Codasco brought the ball within scoring distance, and Husch broke through for the third Country Day touchdown on an end run. Trask blocked the kick. Near the close of the game Tupper plunged over for Codasco's fourth score. The try for the extra point was good. A few moments later Morgan intercepted a pass and ran thirty yards for another touchdown. The whistle came as the final kick failed, For the Brothers, january played a good game, while, although the whole Country Day team played an excellent game, Tupper and Disbrow were outstanding. I 1929 THE CODASCO QYO I 1 The Kansas City Came Country Day 45, Kansas City O GUTCLASSING their opponents in every department of the game, Codasco's eleven swamped the Kansas City Country Day School, 4S'O, in the Red and White's Hrst interfcity game of the season staged on the home field. The Kansas City team was handicapped by repeated fumbles, often muffing kicks and putting Codasco on the offensive with but 30 or 35 yards to go for a touchdown. Country Day kicked off to the Kansas Cityansg but they were soon forced to punt. Two plays, a thirtyfhve run by Husch, and a thirty yard run by Boettler, gave Codasco her first touchdown. Kliefoth's kick for the extra point was good. In the same quarter Boettler again raced forty yards for another touchdown. The kick was good again. In the second quarter Lehman scored from the three yard line after runs by Husch and Tupper had placed the ball in scoring position. The extra was again added. The second team was then put in by Coach Hughes, but Codasco was not to be stopped. Another touchdown was put across by Robertson as the half ended with the score 27fo. In the next period Robertson again scored after a beautiful run by A. Shields. O'Fallon plunged over the line from the one yard marker for another score as the quarter ended, but he fumbled the ball and Drew recovered for Country Day. Both kicks for the extra point failed. In the hnal quarter the Kansas City eleven put up their best fight of the game, but Robertson got away for another touchdown making the 'rinal score 45fo. Every member of the St. Louis squad got into the game, but Boettler, Husch, and Robertson stood out for the Red and White. For Kansas City, Captain Newman played an excellent game as did Wittman in the backfield. On the line Wolferman was the outstanding player. Country Day's interference and Kansas City's fumbling proved the decisive factors in the game. 1929 80 THE CODASCO Q30 Country Day 275 Burroughs O COACH HUGHES' eleven continued the Red and White football supremacy over the Blue and Gold by defeating them, 27'O, in the annual game. Coach Hughes started his entire second team, and for a while it looked as if it might last. Morgan and Robertson gained consistently as long as they had any kind of interference, and the team brought the ball within scoring position twice, when costly fumbles gave the ball to Burroughs. Along about the middle of the second quarter Coach Hughes withdrew the second string men in favor of the regulars. The first team could not be stopped, but just as a touchdown seemed certain, Codasco fumbled. The half ended with no score for either side. In the third period Country Day scored only one touchdown. As the last quarter opened, Codasco came to life, scoring everytime they got the ball. Tupper scored all four touchdowns with line plunges, and Kliefoth kicked three goals out of a possible four, adding three points. All through the game Burroughs found it impossible to gain on anything but passes. Country Day found it easy to go through, around, or over the Blue and Gold. I 1929 THE CODASCO Q30 The Milwaukee Game GN SATURDAY, November 3, a lighting Codasco team went down to defeat at the hands of Milwaukee Country Day by a score of i2f6. The game was played at the Brew City. Several times the Red and White team advanced the ball deep into its opponent's territory, but the kicking of V. Moe always placed the ball out of danger. In the first quarter Tupper and Husch made long gains behind a beautifully charging Codasco line, but St. Louis lost the ball near Milwaukee's goal line. A short punting duel ended the quarter. Milwaukee scored early in the second quarter as the result of a long reverse pass. However, Codasco retaliated when Tupper plunged through the center for a touch' down after long runs by Husch and Boettler had placed the ball in scoring position. Neither team added the extra point after touchdown. St. Louis opened the third quarter by kicking to Milwaukee. After Milwaukee had failed to gain, Codasco recovered a punt on her opponent's forty yard line. Neither team gained consistently until St. Louis took possession of the ball on Milwaukeels one yard line as a result of two blocked kicks. But Milwaukee held and V. Moe ended Codasco's last threat by punting out of danger. Milwaukee completed two long passes and scored from the twenty yard line when V. Moe crissfcrossed through the whole St. Louis team. The kick was blocked. Codasco tried a vain aerial attack as the game ended. Tupper starred for St. Louis, while V. Moe stood out for the Brew City. 1929 I C0 Country Day 125 St. Louis 6 DISPLAYING a driving offensive that proved irresistible, Codasco's eleven def feated St. Louis U. High, 126 on the Codasco gridiron. As a result of this victory Country Day divided the Prep League title with Westem Military Academy for this year's football season. St. Louis Ufs stubborn defense, which had hitherto proved virtually impenetrable whenever the team was seriously threatened, weakened under the charge of the Red and White line, and to her line Codasco owes her victory primarily.Captain Disbrow and Calfee, both tackles, played beautifully for Country Day, while Tupper, Husch and A. Shields did well in the back field. Codasco's first touchdown was scored by S. Mitchell, left guard, on a trick play off right tackle from the 1 yard line. Husch, Red and White halfback, broke loose on a beautiful run of 65 yards to score Codasco's second touch down. The half ended without St. Louis scoring. Codasco undoubtedly outplayed their opponents the first half, but the Junior Bills came back in the third quarter determined to score. They opened up an aerial attack which proved deadly for the Country Day defence. Five passes, three of which were complete, a favorable exchange of punts and a few line bucks gave St. Louis their only and first touchdown. St. Louis' passing attack was checked in the last quarter by Husch, A. Shields, and H. Carpenter who intercepted passes at crucial moments. The ball was on St. Louis' 3,5 yard line in the visiting team's possession when the final whistle blew. H. Walther, S. Mitchell, A, Calfee, and Captain J. Disbrow, who played their last game for Codasco, played well and will certainly leave a hole in next year's line that will be hard to till. 1929 I CODKSC .

This is especially true if one takes into conf . sideration the cases of hard Iuck we ran into at frequent intervals this year. During the early part of the season we lost the services of McIntyre and Husch. McIntyre was a letterman from last year's team, and Husch ,, although not a regular, had ability and undoubtedly would have been ' a great help to the team. Calfee was also missing from the lineup in the last five games of the season. Art was always an offensive threat, being certain of at least three or four baskets a game. His abilitv to get the tip at center was also a great offensive and defensive help to the team. Our record for the season shows an even break. We won eight games out of sixteen played. In the sixteen games we scored 364 points. Our opponents scored 365 points leaving a difference of only one point. This, I feel, is a very good showing in consideration of the fact that our Preparatory School League was exceptionally strong this year. Our Preparatory League record was the most disappointing. We won but one game in the eight scheduled, and as a result we went into a tie with Western for last place. Only four of the eight games, however, were played with our full strength. If we could have had our full team against St. Louis and Western, I am certain we could have won one or two more games. McBride and C. B. C., however, had superior teams and deserved to win. Although we did not land a place on the All League first team, we were given several honors. Captain Larkin was given a guard position on the MAH League second team and Calfee was rated as one of the three best centers in the Preparatory School League. In games outside of league competition we won from Wellston High School and John Hancock High School. Both teams are members of the County League. John Hancock, however, defeated us in a return game by a 1948 score. Inabilitv to sink more than two out of eleven free throws lost this game for Country Day. In the newly formed Four School League , we fared much better. We divided games with Western but won all our encounters against Principia and Burroughs. By winning live out of six games in this League we won the WA team Championship. Western and Principia tied with a 5oo average. Burroughs lost all ' ' of her league games and occupied last place. In our last game with Burroughs we set an all time record at Country Day for points scored in a single contest. We ran up a score of S7 points to IQ for Burroughs. Of the 57 points scored by the Red and White, 56 were scored by goals from the Held. Our tournament experience this year was highly satisfactory, even though we lost our first game. We were unfortunate in drawing Beaumont High School, second place team in the City League, as our first opponent. The game was hard fought throughout and at the end of the regular playing period was tied at zo all. In the overtime period, Beaumont scored two field goals to win by a score of 24fzo. Our inability to sink more than six of sixteen free throws was the chief cause of our defeat. The team played a great floor game, however, and all are to be commended. This year's squad was composed of a group of hard working fellows who showed a gradual improvement in all departments of the game. I certainly want to commend them for their diligent work and interest displayed this past season. Mr. Shinkel, Coach ...T,. . 1929 I 1 X f , ,WX 7-. ,gf X, , 1.

I 1929 I THE CODASCO fbi? IQ2 8f29 Basketball Season Country Day 16g Wellston 10 IN THE initial tilt of the season Codasco's quintet defeated Wellston High I6'IO on the former's court. The game was marred by ragged passing and inaccurate shooting accompanied by a great many fouls. Calfee and Captain Larkin played very creditable games. Both fives displayed a stronger defense than offense, only eight field goals being scored during the whole contest. Country Day 28g john Hancock 19 THE COUNTRY DAY quintet broke loose in the final quarter of an otherwise close game to win 2819. The tilt was staged on the home floor. Both teams maintained an air tight defense during the first half of the game. Calfee, Huntington, and Thompson were the three that were chiefly responsible for the last minute rally, each of whom netted two of the six goals scored. McBride 19g Country Day 10 COUNTRY DAY lost its first Prep League game when McBride defeated the Red and White live by a score of 19fIo. Codasco's inability to sink long shots, the same weakness which has been in evidence in previous encounters, again appeared very noticeable. The Red and White quintet simply could not amass any points. Larkin made two Held baskets and the remaining points were gotten by foul shots. Country Day had good pass work and her defense was many times successful in breaking up her enemy's offense. Country Day 21g Principia 18 THE COUNTRY DAY five defeated the Principia High School five 2118 in the second game of the year on the home gymn. Codasco had a decided edge on her opponents in the Hrst half, but in the second half the Blue and Gold came back scoring six field goals. Calfee was high point man for C. D. S., while Larkin guarded with midfseason form. This victory placed Country Day at the top of the new A, B. C. leagle. 1929 THE CODASCO Gite? Christian Brothers College 35 g Country Day 12 COUNTRY DAY lost a onefsided game to Christian Brothers College on the latter team's court by the score of 3542. Country Day's defense was good through' out the game, the playing of Shields and Larkin being noteworthy in this respect. Because of their uncanny accuracy in shooting, C. B. C., led by their captain, Corcoran, ran up a big lead early in the game, and easily maintained it to the finish. Country Day 29g Western Military Academy 20 COUNTRY DAYS basketball team won its first Prep League victory by def feating Western Military Academy, 29f2o. The Cadet five proved weak on the defense, and although they showed a spirited offensive, their shooting was inf accurate. In contrast the Codsaco defense was of a very stubborn nature which was led by Captain Larkin. The Red and White forwards also played capably, while Calfee at center again proved himself highfpoint man for Country Day. Hancock 19g Country Day 18 IN A return game with Hancock on the latter's court, Country Day was nosed out in a tight and exciting tilt with Hancock High School by the score of 1918. The game was played very sloppily and marred by frequent scrambles. Country Day's inability to sink free throws cost her the game. Ing and Zimmerman were high point men for Hancock, while Captain Larkin and Calfee played well for Codasco. Country Day 32, Burroughs ll THE COUNTRY DAY basketball team journeyed to john Burroughs on Friday Feb. r where it put to shame the Price Road Basketeers by the humiliating score of '52'II. From the very start the play was onesided and except for a relapse suffered at the opening of the second half, the Codascoites clearly outplayed their opponents in every phase of the game, displaying a brilliant offense and a very effective defense. Calfee, who scored 16 points, and Larkin starred for Country Day, while johnson and Lischer stood out for the vanquished. 1929 I THE I CODASCQ Country Day 395 Principia 31 DISPLAYING much more accuracy in shooting both field and foul goals, the Country Day quintet won a game from Principia by a 3,931 score, thus forging into the lead in the Academy League. The game was very fast and the scoring was not slow in starting, for Larkin scored on a setfup soon after the whistle had blown. Calfee. Shields, and Larkin played well for Codasco, as did Seymour for Principia. St. Louis U. High 21, Country Day 10 THE LOSS of the game to St. Louis U. High put Codasco in fourth place in the Prep League. Codasco was greatly handicapped by the absence of Captain Larkin, Calfee, and Huntington. The score would have probably been much different if they had been in the game. In the first half both teams played slow. The score was IO'8 to favor of St. Louis at the end of the half. In the last half, however, C. D. S. could only garner two points to their opponents 1 1. Shields and acting Captain Singleton played well for Codasco, while Minette and Cullen shone well for St. Louis. McBride 275 Country Day 17 THE CODASCO team lost to McBride, the Prep League leaders, in a well played game. McBride seemed to have the edge on her opponents as the game opened, scoring six points in succession. Singleton opened the scoring for Codasco with a long shot. The quarter ended I2 to 4 in favor of McBride. Weil chalked up four more points to Calfee's lone setfup, making the score 16 to 6 at the half. The Red and White team though fighting hard could not make good its offense. Country Day did its last scoring at the last part of the final period. Weil of McBride was by far the outstanding man scoring I3 points. Calfee and Captain Larkin did well for Codasco. Christian Brothers College 395 Country Day 15 THE CHRISTIAN Brothers five downed Country Day on the latter's court in a onefsided game. The first quarter was the closest period of the game. Soon after the second period opened, the Brothers' team started breaking through the Red and White defense with little opposition. The half ended with the score 18f4 in favor of Christian Brothers. In the second half the Codasco quintet did not put up any better opposition. The final score was 3915. Singleton was high point man with 5 points. Corcoran scored I4 points for the Brothers. 1929 THE CODASCO QYGP Country Day 57g john Burroughs 19 THE CODASCO basketball team completely disgraced, humbled, and beat the weak Burroughs five by the highest score of the year, 57fr9. Codasco outplayed their opponents throughout the entire game. The Red and White players continually broke through for setfups with little trouble, while nine points of the Blue and Gold score were made on foul shots. Shields and Singleton between them netted fortyfone points for Country Day, each scoring more than the entire Price road team together. Burroughs sank nine out of thirteen possible foul shots. Western Military Academy 36, Country Day 22 COUNTRY DAY met an unexpected defeat at the hands of Western Military Academy by a score of 360.1 This game put Codasco into a tie with Western for the cellar in the Prep League, but nevertheless Country Day continues to hold the lead in the A. B. C. League. Western starting an entirely different team from the one she started against Codasco in their last encounter. The Western quintet played a hard, fast and flashing game. Country Day was greatly weakened by the loss of Calfee. Meier and Bruno played well for Western, while Singleton and Shields stood out for Codasco. Beaumont 245 Country Day ZO IN THE most exciting and best game the team has played this season, Codasco lost its opening game in the District Basketball Tournament to Beaumont in an extra period game 24f2o. Again Country Day's inability to sink free throws was mainly responsible for the defeat. Shields and Larkin played well for Codasco, while Peterson and Weidner were outstanding for Beaumont. The game throughout was very hard and fast. St. Louis U. High 285 Country Day 13 THE CODASCO team lost its final outside contest of the 1929 season to St. Louis U. High in a poorly played game. Codasco dropped to a tie with Western for cellar position in the Prep League. The victors got the big lead in the first quarter. During the whole of the first quarter, the St. Louis defense was so tight that Codasco was held scoreless. In the middle of the second quarter Singleton scored the Brst point for Codasco. The half ended with the score 183, favor the Billiken Juniors. It was in the final quarter that the Red and White team showed some real basketball. Shields, at left forward, starred for the home team, making nine points and playing a good floor game. Captain Cullen and Madden were the outstanding players for St. Louis. 1929 KQDKSCQ gwfbilfi I 1929 , Q-4 THE CODA-gCO fbi? Baseball The opening of the 1929 baseball season found a squad of fifteen players, four of whom were pitchers, trying out for the varsity team. The problem of building a team conf sequently, resolved itself, not in selecting the best player for each position, but to attempt to put together a team to compete, in two different leagues, against schools where baseball enthusiasm ran the list of baseball candidates well over the century mark. This is supposed to be a resume of the baseball season. It can and will be stated briefly. The players representing the varsity squad deserve and are given much praise and admiration l or the fine spirit which has characterized both their practice periods and games. They have erred, but given their best and, to expect or demand more is un' ,i-ll., reasonable. The most vital point to be considered is this: we are obliged to compete in a league where the number of can' didates trying out for the team outnumbers the total enrollment of our senior school from which varsity can' didates can be expected to come. In view of the fact that every player must be found and developed in the lower classes, it appears out of proportion for this school to attempt to carry out, with as a fair degree of success, a schedule such as was handed the baseball team of 1929.

Chaminade won the game by a score of zofg, mostly due to her superior pitch' ing. The overwhelming outcome of the conflict was not considered too seriously however, since the squad was handicapped by lack of practice. The contest was marked by heavy hitting by both sides, Chaminade getting IQ hits to Codasco's rr. Jacobs, by smashing out three singles and a double, led the Red and White batsmen, while Singler with two singles, a triple, and a home run was outstanding for Chaminade. The Denny road team had two big innings, the third and the seventh, during which they put across eleven runs and easily cinched the contest. The game was particularly marred by Codasco's errors. They made 5 to Chaminade's 3. The line up in this opening game of the season was rather familiar to those who had followed the fortunes of the Codasco nine in 1928. The letter men who ref turned were: Disbrow at first, Jacobs at second, Captain Hammett at third, Green at center field, Ferriss at left field, Morgan at right field, C. Messick at pitch and Calfee at pitch. McIntyre played short while M. Messick protected homefplate. Robinson substituted at center field. 1929 101 THE ODASCO Q20 St. Louis U. High 45 Country Day 2 COUNTRY DAY lost its first Preparatory League game of the season to St. Louis U. High in a game played in Forest Park. Although the Codasco nine outhit the Junior Bills, 6f1, they were unable to take advantage of many opporf tunities to score. The game was a pitching duel throughout, C. Messick, the Codasco moundsman, holding the advantage over S. Krygiel, whose teammates took ad' vantage of errors and walks to score. Disbrow was the hitting star of the contest, getting three singles out of as many attempts, while C. Messick, the losing pitcher, managed to get two safe blows. Codasco made six errors in all, and these miscues were quite enough to nullify Messick's good pitching. St. Louis had seven stolen bases to its credit, and several of these played a prominent part in scoring. The Billiken juniors started scoring in the first frame when Schultenhenrich scored on their only hit of the game. Codasco followed in the second when Hammett walked and Disbrow hit. The third inning was quiet, but the Bills took advantage of the walkferror combination in the fourth to count two tallies. In the fifth the Brown Road nine let two hits go begging, while the victors again scored, Codasco counted for her second run in the sixth. St. Louis was retired in order. The seventh offered excitement when the bases were loaded, but here the Red and White failed. 1929 QYC7 i I , .1 ' 1 1 X- , Q if f, .kj V, , - ., .W y ga ' . ,f , f f f, - 4 s ' ,yy V ,sl f ,, it ,, . 4 f Q V .1 ,.

The game was played at Alton. Had it not been for the disastrous fifth inning, Codasco might have come home with the much desired victory instead of a defeat. C. Messick up to the Bfth inning had allowed but two hits while Codasco was getting a 40. lead over Western. However, when the fifth inning was over, Western had clinched the game by scoring six runs. Western started the scoring after Codasco had failed to score in the first half of the inning. Andros walked, was sacrificed to second, stole third, and came home on a long sacrifice fly to left field. In the second Country Day scored twice on two singles, a walk and an error. Western, however, tied the game up by Miller's home run to left field. Neither team was able to score in the fourth. Codasco in the first of the fifth again scored two runs, this time by singles from Ferriss and Messick, an error and two walks. In the last of the fifth Western scored six runs on an error, five singles and by Miller being hit by a pitched ball. Neither team scored in the last two innings. Each nine collected seven hits, Eve of Western's coming in their big fifth inning rally. Green, center fielder of Codasco, was the outstanding fielder of the day. He made several beautiful catches. 1929 103 THE CODASCO 'BYO Country Day 145 Principia 6 CODASCO gained its first victory by trouncing Principia on the latter's field by a score of 14f6. The game was loosely played throughout. Calfee, pitching his first game, allowed but five hits. In the first inning both teams scored one run due to errors. In the second Hammett cracked out a home run and McIntyre walked, stole second, and came home on Green's timely single, giving Codasco two more runs. Principia garnered a run in this inning. Principia took the lead in the third inning when they held Codasco scoreless and scored three for themselves by a homer and two more runs caused by a walk and two errors. Codasco came back in the fourth with eight runs. Two singles, four walks, and three errors did the work. Principia scored a run in the fourth and in the fifth Country Day came through with three more runs. Jacobs, Country Day star second sacker was injured in the fifth inning and Durham took his place. 1929 I THE Comssco ' 0361 john Burroughs 35 Country Day l f'R'ED AIKEN, star hurler of Burroughs, twirling a splendid brand of ball, humbled Country Day on the home field by the close score of 31. C. Messick pitched an excellent game for Codasco, and had it not been for six ghastly errors, another story might have been told. Both teams scored one run in the first inning. Lane singled after two were out and came home on Aiken's timely double to left field. Green, after a walk, was sacrificed to second and then went to third on a 6elder's choice. He came home on a wild pitch. After that not a run was scored until the sixth inning. From the second frame to the sixth each pitcher allowed but two hits, all being singles. Burroughs in the sixth scored two runs due to three singles and an error. It looked as if Codasco might score in the last of the sixth when Ferriss, batting for F. Robinson, singled to right, but his teammates left him stranded on the paths. Both teams failed to score in the seventh. C. Messick struck out nine men while Aiken struck out eight. I l 1929 THE CODASCO QSO' Christian Brothers College 8, Country Day 2 IN THE face of the one hit pitching of Murphy, Codasco suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Christian Brothers College. C. Messick fanned seven men and allowed but six hits, but the six errors behind him contributed not a little to the eight runs that C. B, C. scored. Murphy struck out fourteen men or twofthirds of thetwentyfone outs made. In the first four innings the Brown Roaders did not advance beyond first base. In these same four innings C. B. C. scored their eight runs. They scored two runs in the first frame, four in the second, and two in the fourth. Devine contributed most of this scoring by his three hits in as many trips to the plate. He cracked out two singles and a double. Very poor fielding also aided the C. B. C. scoring along. Codasco scored her first run in the fifth when C. Messick came home after his single. It was the only hit Codasco made. Neither team scored in the sixth, but in the seventh Codasco pushed across her last marker when Green walked, stole second and third, and came home on a wild pitch. After the fourth inning C. B. C. did not score a run, although Devine got his fourth straight hit, a clean single to center field. 1929 106 THE CODASCQ f5?0 McBride vs Country Day COUNTRY DAY'S baseball team fell before the McBride nine, ofa., in a game played on the home diamond. The inability to hit and costly errors were again the cause of the defeat. C. Messick pitched a good game for Codasco up to the fatal Hfth inning, when, due for the most part to errors of his teammates, five runs and two hits were allowed. The Kingshighwaymen, although gathering nine runs, collected only seven hits off C. Messick, while the Red and White outfit got four hits off V. Durbin. Four of McBride's hits, however, were doubles, while the other three were scattered singles. Morgan made Codasco's only long hit when he poled a triple out to right field. Mueller starred at bat for McBride, collecting two of the four doubles, while Stein and Lammert each got one. V. Durbin, the Collonnaders rnoundsman, pitched a good game of ball for the first three innings, but weakened in the fourth, letting in two runs and giving three hits. He was replaced by Marshall, who struck out six of the nine men who faced him and allowed no hits or runs. The Collonnaders got off to a one run lead which lasted until the fourth, when they scored again, but Codasco immediately tied the score. In the next inning, howf ever, McBride chalked up five runs and added two more in the sixth. 1929 I THE CODASCO XafiQ,.., l l Country Day 35 St. Louis U. High 6 ST. LOUIS U. High defeated Country Day in the second round of the Prep League, on the Brown Road diamond 6f3. Vollmer, Ed McCartys star pitcher, allowed only three hits, while Calfee for Country Day, gave five. The Billiken Juniors jumped into the lead with a one run margin in the first inning, but the score was promptly tied by Codasco in the second. The fifth inning again proved fatal for Coach McAllisters men, when St. Louis piled up three more runs. They added one more in each of the following innings. In the seventh frame C.D.S. made a desperate attempt to overcome the Billiken Juniors lead by scoring two runs due to the hits of Captain Hammett and pinch hitter Smith. Manahan, the Bills snappy short stop, collected two hits, while Vollmer poled out a double. S. Smith, hitting for Durham, hit a timely double in the seventh, scorf ing Hammett. The only double play of the game came in the third inning, when Durham, Country Day's third baseman, caught Manettes liner and whipped it to Hammett on first, catching S. Krygiel napping. In Codasco's half of the seventh, C. Messick, batting for M. Messiclgflied to right. Captain Hammett then singled, and was followed by Smith who doubled. Both Smith and Hammett scored on errors by Manahan and S. Krygiel, Calfee reaching third. Vollmer tightened down then, and Green flied to right, unable to score Calfee. This was Country Day's second defeat at the hands of the Billiken Juniors, having lost four to two in the last tilt. 1929 108 THE CODASCO P fbi? - Review of the 1929 Track Season IN THE final meet of the season, the important Prep League meet, the team took third place, placing in a majority ofthe events entered. Boettler was the outf standing star, placing in three events as well as runf ning on the championship relay team. At the indoor meet held at Boonville, the relay team again scored the only first place won by the team, al' though several men qualified for the finals in the face of very stiff competition. In the Quadrangular meet between U. City, Clayton, Principia, and Country Day, the team took second place with 31 points to U. City's 81. Boettler was again the individual star, taking three ftirsts. However, the whole team showed up well in this meet. Boettler also took second in the broad jump in the state meet at Columbia. In the second annual A. B. C. track meet, the Country Day team was nosed out of second place by only two points. Boettler again scored fifteen points. The team also collected fourteen points in the Missf -1-l-.-. issippi Valley meet at Washington U. Husch won the high jump for the only Country Day first place. Throughout the season Price has displayed excellent capability as manager, and the whole team merits credit for their conscientious work. llil- 1929 xk1'3i'g . , 1 1 1 2 I ANAGERD LAPP, BLASI1, PRIMM, SKINNER, PRICE CM Uscl-I, ROBERTSON, SCH E., H IIoMPsoN, Row, OSWALIJ, RENARD, T OP T 1 1 F 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 s, W, LD SI-IIE BOETTLEIL, MORTON, BELL, RICHARDS, s, A., WIN, SHIELD Row, SINGLE1-oN, LEI-I ER Low 1 THE CODASCQ BOETTLER fE?67 Conscientious captain and star on the team.

Due to the very stiff competition, Codasco failed to place. However, the relay team composed of W. Shields, Morton, Bell and Boettler did come through by Winning from the teams of Butler and Jefferson City. In the preliminaries held in the afternoon Boettler and W. Shields qualified only to be eliminated in the quarter finals. Boettler, who had also qualified in the low hurdles, stumbled in his second race and was eliminated. Richards was nosed out of third place in the 440 at the finish line. .Quadfrangulafr Meet IN a quadrangular meet with Principia, Clayton, and University City, Codasco placed second. The U. C. track team walked off with the meet by sheer majority of numbers, scoring 81M to C0dasc0's 31. Boettler was individual star of the meet winning the 100 yard dash, the 220, and the broad jump by leaping 20 feet SM inches. Richards Won the 440 in handy style. Husch jumped 5 feet 6 inches to take first in the high jump. Schlapp took third in the high hurdles while Bell and Thompson took third and fourth in the 220 yard low hurdles. Shields and Singleton both tied for fourth in the high jump and Shields tied for fourth in the pole vault. 1929 I THE CODASCO Q80 The A B Ci' Meet COUNTRY DAY came third in the Quadrangular meet with Western, Principia and Burroughs, scoring 3Q points. Boettler was high point man of the meet winning the 100 yard dash in 10.4 seconds, the 220 in 23.1 seconds and the broad jump by a leap of 21 ft. 4M inches. Richards came 2nd in the 440 and 3rd in the 880. As Shields won the high jump hyrclearing the har at 5 ft. 6 in. and tied for 2nd in the pole vault. Lehman came 3rd in the javelin with a throw of 142 feet. Morton got a 3rd in the low hurdles followed by Bell who took fourth. Husch came 2nd in the broad jump and tied for third with Singleton in the high jump. 089 In the district track and field meet which occurred the same day as the ABC meet Boettler won the broad jump by a jump of 21 feet 8 inches. 1929 I THE CODASCO fb?-O Mississippi Valley Track Meet IN THE fifth Annual Mississippi Valley Interscholastic Track and Field Meet staged at Francis Field the Country Day Track Team took fifth place in division two by scoring I4 points. Fulton vvon with 40 points and Clayton was runner up with 22M points. The Meet was held in the face of adverse weather conditions. Boettler leaped IQ feet, 3 inches to take the broad jump and also placed third in the loo yard dash and Richards took second in the 44o, running a splendid race. A. Shields and Thompson tied for third in the pole vault. Bill placed third in the no yards dash to make up Codasco's I4 points. Soldan High won first place in division one this Meet but the marks in division two fschools under 350 enrollmentj were as good and in some cases better than those in the larger class 1929 l THE CODASCO raver The Preparatory League Meet IN THE fifth annual Preparatory League track and field meet held at Taylor field, Country Day came in third by scoring 22M points. Western Military Academy won first place with UZ points, While St. Louis U. High placed second with 23M points. Dolph Boettler was high point man for Codasco, scoring 9 points by virtue of second places in the roo and 220 yard dashes and the broad jump. Richards also took second in the 440, while Shields, A. and Singleton placed in the high jump, as did Thompson in the pole vault. The only hrst place won by the Red and White track men was taken by the relay team, composed of W. Shields, Husch, Richards, and Boettler. This quartet ran the 880 yard relay in 1:3712 only twoftenths of a second over the record. The team thus made a very creditable showing against schools with much larger enrollments, due no doubt, in a large part to the efforts of the coach and the strict adherence to training rules kept by the whole squad. 1929 THE CODASCO V367 I I B Team Football THE 1928 season of the B team can scarcely be termed a successful one. The squad was not large and was frequently reduced by illness and injuries. The team lost two games to Western by I2'O scores, and although at a disadvantage in height and weight, the team displayed a fighting spirit in these games. Principia also won two games from the B team, one by a 6fo score, and one zofo. In the former game the team put up a good fight, but in the latter they suffered a complete ref verse of form and were outplayed in every department of the game. However, it was against Burroughs that the team really showed winning form. Two games were won from this school by scores of 7fo and 2of6. Blase and L. Smith stood out on the line, while Ed. Thompson was the star of the backfield. C Team Football THE 1928 football season for the C team was most successful. Although only three of last year's team were back, the eleven won four games and tied two. Two games were won from Principia by the scores of rgfo and I2'O. The two other victories were over Burroughs, by the score 12f6 and Western by a 7f6 count. The two tied games were with Western and with Burroughs, the latter being a scoreless tie. That the team had the old fighting spirit was decisively proved in the final game with Western, when the Codasco eleven nosed the Altonites out, 7f6, having been on the short end of the score for the greater part of the game. The team is to be congratulated upon their showing, and it is an assured fact that the Varsity team will not be lacking in material during the next few years with such an aggref gation in the ofling. Middle and Lower School Football In the Middle School football consisted of a league composed of four teams, Brown, Yale, Harvard, and Columbia. Brown, under the excellent coaching of Mr. Driscoll, nosed out Yale near the close of the season to win the championship. - In the Lower School football is made up of three squads, each having a Red and a White team. The Whites won the majority of the ofhcial games on all three squads. 1929 119 Lcopifisco B Team Basketball THE B team had what might be termed a fairly successful season in basketball. The squad was small and inexperienced but practising with the Hrst team at times helped the squad to gain some confidence in itself. The team won two games while losing four. Western took two games by fairly close scores considering the fact that the Cadets squad was almost on a par with their A team. Renard showed to advantage in these games. In two very close games Burroughs was defeated twice, 22118 and 2118. Principia won their first game in a walkfafway, 2817, but the next game was much closer, being lost by the score of 1918. Morgan and Kercher developed into a pair of good guards during the season, while Renard and Logan, on the forward end, made up the main scoring punch of the team, scoring 45 points between them. Leonard, Payne and Primm also perf formed satisfactorily when called upon. C Team Basketball IN BASKETBALL the C team had a rather successful season. Four of the six games played were victories. Burroughs and Principia were both turned back, the former by the scores of 2419 and 3514, the latter by 2714 and 1of7 counts. The two defeats were suffered at the hands of Western, the first 2519, and the second 353. Although the team was unable to sink a fair percentage of their shots, their floorwork made up for this deficiency. The team was handicapped by the fact that the more efficient players were smaller than some of the others on the squad and than most of their opponents. King was the highfpoint man of the team, with Thurston and Captain Robinson closely following. Peckham and Paul Morgan also showed up well. Middle and Lower School Basketball In the Middle School a league was made up of four teams, Columbia, Yale, Brown and Harvard. Yale, under the captaincy of N. Ewing and the coaching of Mr., Babcock, was the champion. Earl Thompson, N. Ewing, Morrison, and B. Ewing played well for their respective teams. In the Lower School four teams were chosen from Squad I to form a league. These teams were the Bulldogs, Yale, Cornell, and Country Day. The Bulldogs led by Lord, finished in the lead. Squad II played Red and White games. I 1929 I THE CODASCO ' f5?67 B Team Baseball The B baseball team faced a hard schedule this year. As the Codasco goes to press only one game has been played, that with Chaminade which the Red and White nine dropped by the score of 2'I. The team was held hitless by Singler while Kliefoth also pitched a good game, holding the slugging Chaminaders to two hits. Middle and Lower School Baseball In the Middle School baseball league Harvard was leading, under Morgan's captainship. In the Lower School, Squad I was divided into four teams, Team Four was ahead as this book was printed. In Squad II two teams had been chosen, but no games had been played. The teams were Amherst, led by Cherbonnier and Princeton, under the leadership of Whitelaw. Squad III played Red and White games. I 1929 I THE CODASCO JSE? Boxing MR. BICKMORB, Coach THE BOXING season opened in January with about fifteen candidates reporting. Cf this number M. Messick, C. Messick, J. Jacobs, and J. Hager were veterans, having been members of the team for the last two seasons. The men chosen to repref sent the school were E. Galloway, 175 pounds, J. Hager, 147 pounds, S. Langsdorf, 134 pounds, J. Jacobs, 125 pounds, and M. Messick, Qcaptainj, 118 pounds. Because the schools with which we formerly boxed have abolished boxing, the team had no match until March 5 when it met Missouri Military Academy. This lack of competition was reflected in the rather poor physical condition of the Country Day team which tied with the Military Academy although superior in ring generalship and experience. Next year, with better quarters and apparatus for training, and a number of experienced men, the team should be better than ever. E. Galloway, G. Langdorf, J. Lesser, and R. Becker are new men who show much future promise. 1929 122 Fencing MR. SOLOMON, Coach N THE second year of fencing at Country Day a good sized squad turned out for this new winter sport. In the course of the season both foil and sabre were studied and intrafmural contests in both weapons held. A team representing the school was selected on the basis of these contests and two outside team meets were held, one with the Washington University Freshmen and one for the championship of the city. Beside team contests much individual competitive fencing was done by members of the squad under the auspices of the Mississippi Valley Fencers' Assof ciation, the official fencing association of St. Louis. In these divers individual meets, held for a different class of fencer each time, Country Day representatives showed up very well. Cn the whole, great progress over last year was shown, and everything points to the hope that in the future fencing will be one of Country Day's most popular and successful sports. 1929 I THE CQDASCO Soccer THE soccer team, under the captaincy of Tupper and the energetic coaching of Mr. Young, had a very successful season this year. The team Won five, lost three, and tied one out of a total of nine games. The high point man of the season was Morton, who scored tive goalsg Pierce was second with three points to his credit. For the Hrst time at Country Day a second soccer team was formed which played outside games. It played three games with john Burroughs, winning one and tying two. The varsity soccer team consisted of Green, Walther, Pierce, Morton, H. Carf penter or Drew Cforwardsb, F. Morrill, S. Mitchell, Tupper Chalf backsl, Price, Lehmann Qfull backsD, and Boettler Cgoal guardj. A summary of the games is as follows: Principia . Country Day Country Day Country Day McBride .

Burroughs 9 124 THE CODASCO fats? . g 1? ,, .M Vkry I J I- Il Tennis A LARGE number of candidates showed up this year for tennis, but only one, Langsdorf, had had any previous experience in prep league competition. Huntington and Langsdorf alternate as number one men, while Morrill and Mcf Pheeters are numbers three and four. Langsdorf and Huntington make up one doubles team, McPheeters and Morrill composing the other. Thompson, F. and Goldman are reserve men for the first team. Due to the large number of aspirants this year, a second team in tennis has been undertaken for the second time. Matches are to be arranged for this team with other schools. Charles W., May, DuBois, Valier, Robinson, W., and Gelzer appear as the choices for this second team. Practice was slow getting under way, due to adverse weather conditions and the team has had but one tilt up to date. A match with St. Loius U. High on Friday, May 10. This match was lost to the Billiken Juniors by a 3, to 2 score, Codasco winning one doubles and one singles match. Morrill won his match in the singles, and Huntington and Langsdorf won their doubles match in three sets. The team made a good showing considering the lack of experience, and it is apparent that with more practice this year's team should be able to rank up among the leaders at the end of the season. 1929 THE CODASC if c f..'f ' ar H7 1' M2321 Q-tw '94 av' lv, '-Xi .64 H 1929 V , - 'T' Ma E if , 4954 42 A , 'wa' 51- 21? , 7 - Q' J W X571- A ' Q' .f 4 f ff f f ffyf' f V- -f f W. f ',,' ,.A. 5 Q44 jf E , 'f f , , f,,',g3, 5 fQTQXZ1 1 ,ff f,,' , Elf 3' Q , ' ,,'ffifz?i1fff1Z7fIf 5 , . 1 ,m'A I 'wk - - , , , y W f ff' , , mf, 1 .,,, Uvrgmnzizcutzioms r 4...

The awarding of letters, the arf ranging of varsity team trips, and the voting of money to pay for new equipment are all under the jurisdiction of the Executive Committee. This Committee is com' posed of a president, vicefpresident, and a secretary, who are elected by the student body, a treasurer, appointed by the Headmaster from among the faculty, the coaches of the four major sports, the Headmaster, the Director of Physical Education, and one representative from each class. Its meetings are held frequently during the year but at no regular intervals. 1929 128 THE CODASCO Q30 Rifle C lub THROUGHOUT the winter term the Rifle Club played an important part among the school minor activities. The membership was quite large this year due to the addition of many boys from the lower classes, and the club has had a very successful season. Mr. Kent supervised the meetings, which were held in the fifty foot range in the basement of the Upper School. The meetings were usually held on Thursdays or Fridays, but varied in accordance with the schedule of the soccer and basketball squads. No outside matches were held, because of the un' certainty of the schedule, but the members, as in former years, shot for medals, offered by the Government as a stimulus to better shooting and as a reward for faithful work. Many good targets were sent in. Each member was required to pay dues of one dollar which was used to buy ammunition and targets, and to furnish other necessary supplies. At the annual election Roth was again elected President of the organization. Each year the members shoot for the O'Reilly cup, which is presented annually at Commencement. This cup was won by Ferriss for the second time. The meetings next year will be held in the rifle range in the new Upper School buildings, and another successful season is predicted. The members of the club for the past year were Roth, Green, Ferriss, Morgan, and Morrill. OFFICERS ROTH . .,.. President FERRISS . .... . Secretary GREEN . . . Treasurer MR. KENT . . Director 1929 129 THE CODASCO GY? l Troop 186 - Boy Scouts of America THE SCOUT troop started off the school year last Septembsr with a fairly small enrollment. This was due to the fact that a number of the older boys dropped out of the troop after several years of faithful service. This exodus is a yearly oc' currence. The troop soon Hlled up with younger boys and is now its usual size. Under the capable leadership of Louis Renard, the Senior Patrol Leader, a strong patrol spirit has been built up and the rivalry among the various patrols has been very keen. Renard has taken full charge of the various interfpatrol contests, doing all the planning and most of the judging. He has exhibited rare qualities of initiative. In February Brooks Morgan completed four years of perfect attendance, not having missed a single Scout meeting between his twelfth and sixteenth birthdays. In spite of his many other activities, Mr. Elliott has been able to attend most of the meetings this year. His help has been invaluable and I hope we may have him with us for many more years. During the year the troop has made great progress in the much discussed matter of 'Lrespect of property. Most of the boys now feel responsibility for conserving and improving the school property. The boys all feel grateful to Minnie and her staff for ordering food for the troop each week and for preparing it for them on rainy days. Although the troop has done nothing spectacular during the year, I feel that it has been an important factor in the lives of many of the Scouts. Some have acquired knowledge through passing testsg some have developed the spirit of cofoperation through working for their patrolsg some, doubtless, have striven to mould their lives in accordance with the Scout Oath and Lawsg and so we find that in the breadth of the Scout program each boy may find an opportunity to develop and grow. FREDERICK D. BLANCHARD, Scoutmaster 1929 I 130 THE CGDASCO QYO Lodge 2 32 Boy Rangers of America THIS school year has been one of growth and progress for the Ranger lodge. We have a larger number of boys than ever before and an increased amount of interest in lodge activities. The Rangers meet one evening each month, on a Friday when there is no Scout meeting. If the Weather is pleasant, the boys cook their meals outdoors. After dinner a meeting is held in the gymnasium. Generally there are a few boys to initiate, and occasionally some one has passed enough tests to be adopted into a tribe and given his Indian name. After a game period, some of the boys go home, while the more hardy ones spend the night at school, sleeping outdoors in vvarm weather and in the gymnasium when it is too cold outside. One feature of the Rangers which sprang up unawares is the enrollment of younger brothers of members of the school. We now have a number of boys who expect to attend Country Day next year who attend Ranger meetings. I feel that this gives them a little advance experience of school life and will tend to make them feel more at home when they enter Class Eight. , FREDERICK D.

One, The Country Day News, is edited weekly, while the other, The Codasco is an annual published each year. There is no faculty supervision over either of these publications, the Students procuring all of the advertisements and arranging the publications themselves. During the current year, the News won third place in a national contest and second place in the Missouri state competition for High School papers.

The first Codasco came out in 1919, and since then it has appeared annually at Commencement. The staff is organized by the Chairman, who has complete charge of the pubf lication. This staff is composed of Literary Editors, who are responsible for most of the reading matter in the book, an Art Editor, who draws the sketches, two Photographic Editors, whose duty it is to take all the pictures except those taken by the professional photographer. There are also Sport Editors, who write up the games of the major teams, and a Business Manager, who, with his assistants, solicits the advertisements, which materially aid in making the publication of the Codasco possible. The Chairman for the following year is chosen from the group of Juniors on the Literary Staff. This selection is made by the present Chairman. 1929 .ff X, ' xx C X ,iii-if REX?-ax g - :sf-aff?

It has been published weekly by the students of the Country Day School every year since then with the exception of a single school season, 1920f1921. In its early days the paper consisted of a single typefwritten sheet, which appeared more or less irregularly, but since its revival in the fall of 1921, the paper has contained at least four pages and has appeared almost every week. There have been 30 issues of the paper annually, and this figure includes many large special numbers, containing five columns to the page, and sometimes a pictorial supplement. In 1926 the custom was started of printing a Senior pictorial issue with a pictorial supplement, at the time that the Senior staff of the News turned the paper over to its successors. This was continued last year and has now become a permanent annual feature. On April 18, the News staff published its annual comical number, Ye Countrie Daye Neusancef' For the past seven years the News has offered the News trophy, a cup which is presented at Commencement to the student who submits the best essay on one of a group of specified subjects. The time is limited for this contest, which is judged by a committee of masters. The News was for the four years prior to the present year, a member of the School Newspaper Federation, but has recently terminated its relation with this organization. It has entered in two contests, the Missouri Interscholastic Press Association, and the Columbia organization of the same name. It placed tied for third in the latter. The News has been printed throughout this time by the Model Printing Co., of Wellston, which has given consistently good service in the arduous task of pubf lishing a school paper. 1 1929 I THE CODASC 11.

The Masque, a dramatic club, presented Old Englishl' in a very creditable styleg but there was no Lower School Play this year on account of the illness of the director, Mr. Reeve. The new Lower School Dramatic Club gave numerous historical plays of colonial life before the Lower and Middle schools, as well as a play called Station YYYY, which was put on before the parents of the three lower classes. 1929 I 139 Xwlkhx 'X Km jk H140 TPIoMPsoN, E.

Manager HE TROUBADOURS fourth year has been very successful in every way. The accomplishments of the club have been for the most part due to the long and tiring labor on the part of the members and director. These, however, were well rewarded in the annual presentation. This was a rollicking and vivacious musical comedy, entitled All at Sea, which was enthusiastically received by a capacity audience on February Ist. Fine acting was displayed in the show, despite the lastf minute illness of one of the leading characters. The play was immediately preceeded by a dance in the gymnasium, which was decorated as a nightfclub, and the entire evening was a great success. During the year much new talent was discovered in the two schools, and an even better season is predicted for next year although many members of the club will graduate this spring, who have done exceptionally well during the past and other recent seasons. The club wishes to extend its profound gratitude and appreciation to those who have rendered its success possible-to the parents and faculty of the school, to Mr. Reeve, without whose direction such a performance could not have been pref sented, to Junior Boehmer for his assistance in the production, and especially to Mrs. Lou O. Hocker for her generosity in providing the club with a meeting place. 1929 141 T5 xr f-X , -YV 335,-' f 1 ' X 142 UDDER, BLAsE.

Director THE MASQUE, which was formed two years ago, has proven its worth by its two successful performances, The Bells, presented last year, and Old English, given at the beginning of April. The club is not very large, but it has some remarkable actors among its members. The last presentation was marked by excellent scenery and makefup. All the members rendered their parts well and, under Mr. Bickmore's patient and energetic tutelage, they gave a successful and well received play. Walther had the chief role as Old English, which he played excellently. The story deals with the last days of the octogenarian, Sylvanus Heythorpe, Old English, who is chairman of a company which is rapidly going into bankf ruptcy. He buys some ships for a sum, which he represents to his stockholders as being greater than it really is, and gives the surplus to a needy relation, Mrs. Larne. Charles Ventnor, a lawyer bent on Heythorpe's ruin, threatens to expose this fraud, after which Old English dies from overfexcess in drinking. Mr. Bickmore should be congratulated on his magnificient performance. l 1929 THE CODASCO QYO The Lower School Dramatic Club PAUL JAM1BsoN , ....,. . President JACK TAYLOR . . VicefP1esident HOWAREJ STEVENS ...... , , Secretary This year a new plan was adopted wherein the Lower School was at home to parents of Lower School boys on May 16 from twofthirty until five. Several baseball games were played at twofthirty, followed by an exibition of woodfcraft in the gymnasium. However the chief feature of the afternoon was a one act play, Booth Tarkingtonls YYYY which the Lower School Dramatic Club, coached, by Mr. McAllister, put on at four o'clock in the auditorium. The plot centers about the home of a radio fan, Mr. Winthrop who is possessed of two daughters, Anita and Caroline, and a young son, Herbert, who is eager to attend a boys' camp an idea highly displeasing to his father. Herbert disattaches the radio and by connecting the speaker under the table and gives a talk from station YYYY on the advantages to be gained from a boys' camp. In the end Herbert is successful. The performance was splendidly done without a slip. William Reaves as Anita and Arthur Lieber as Herbert, were particularly deserving of praise. The whole cast was admirably chosen. 1929 144 THE CODASCO T367 In Appreciation THE CODASCO BCARD wish to express their gratitude and appreciation to the firms Whose advertisements have made the publication of this book possible. We realize that a great many of these insertions were made Without much hope for material recom' pense and were only prompted by a desire to help the students make the book a success. We know that Without their generous financial aid, the publication of the 1929 CGDASCG would have been almost impossible. We, theref fore, ask its readers to bear this in mind and patronize these firms at every opportunity.
