But this year, to the New High School Building. The new school seemed so big, and there were so many classrooms that everyone was lost. Maps to the students feven to the sen- iorsll were distributed. Locker trouble persisted. 11 In spite of all the extra space, the halls were jammed and no one seemed to know where he was going. The seniors found it hard to believe that it was the last time round' . THE THUNDERING HERD The softball team. played its first game of the season on Monday night, September 10 , at Sullivan. Because of many walks, the Sullivan teamtwas victorious , 17 to 13. On Friday, Septem.ber 14, the team traveled to St. Clair High School to play the Bulldogs . Two home runs with the bases loaded gave the St. Clair boys a very good start, and they went on to win 18 to 9. Pacific was the opposing team. for the first game of the County Softball Tournament at St. Clair. The team. played very well by defeating Pacific 8 to 5. Even though twelve walks were issued, Washington came out the victor over New Haven High in the second game of the tournam.ent. The final score was 9 to 6. By winning this game the team. earned a chance to play for first against St. Francis . The final game of the County Softball Tournament on September 22, was a joyous One for the boys of W. H. S. , as they came out victorious over St. Francis Borgia. Three runs were scored on two hits in the first inning, and the Iays ended the game with their first and only double play of the year. There was fine defensive play throughout. The trophy was accepted for the team. by the hustling catcher, Bill Cowan and of course, we were all very proud of it. Band Day at Colum.bia was also held on the twenty-second of September. The W. H. S. band played several selections, in- cluding Iohn Phillip Sousa's Sem.per Fidelis . About thirty-six hundred students formed a huge colorful square on the football field and later watched a football game between Oregon State and University of Missouri.

The new blades of grass and the shrubs already planted brought hope of a velvety green campus shaded with trees dedicated by future classes. By October activities were in full swing and every interested student found his place in an extra-curricular activity. The month started off with the student body selection of ten cheer- leaders. This was on October 2. Those chosen by the juniors and seniors for the A team were Laverne Schuetz, Ieanette Iohnson, Marybelle Drewel, Betty Frankenfeld, and Carolyn Shotwell. Annette Johnson, Judy Tiley, Marilyn Shotwell, Nancy Ritter, and Dixie Buescher were chosen to represent the freshman and sophomore classes . Cheerleader practices were immediately underway for the approaching volleyball season. Go, Washington , Go. The girls started the volleyball season with games held at Union on the fifth of this month. Unfortunately the Union team lived up to its name of Wildcats. Scores! B 13-377 A 13-19. ONE FOR The first dance to be held in the new gymnasium, was given by the Epsilon Beta on Saturday, October 6. The members and their guests at- tended to celebrate the organ- ization's 25th anniversary. The whole day was spent de- corating, but everyone felt his efforts were rewarded as all viewed a ten foot cardboard cake in the center of the gym- nasium with colored streamers radiating to card tables. We were honored by the guest ap- pearances of Elvis Presley Klvlickey Landersl and Liberace fEddie Maupinl. Unfortunate- ly, Brother George was unable to play his fiddle as his wife had forgotten to bring his cigar and cough drops. 14 Washington Wins Cross Country Run A triangular cross country meet was held here on Friday, October 5. The other schools participating were Sullivan and New Haven. Although the two mile race was won by Skippy Wolfe of New Haven, with a time of 11:40. 3, Washington, as a team, took first place with flying colors. Larry Stoops placed second and Earl Apprill placed third in the meet for Washington. TABLE TALK E. B. 'S BIRTHDAY CAKE We continued the season with another sport event, a volleyball game, held in the new gymnasium on October 9. The Pacific Indians were on the warpath and we lost. The Crucial Moment October 11 , and WaShington's.F. H. A. chose its delegate, Carolyn Shotwell, to represent the group at Warrenton. She was accompanied by President, Betty Frankenfeld and Sponsor, Miss Roberta Osborn. A supper was served and plans were made for the sub-district meeting at Clopton. October 12 , a great day for our volleyball teams! We won our first games by the scores of 25-16 and 26-20. The New Haven Shamrocks were not in luck tonight. On the thirteenth of October the A Volleyball Team played in the Hermann Tournament. In the first game we were again scalped by the Pacific Indians , but we quickly recuperated and beat the Bulldogs of St. Clair. That same night We met the home town, St. Francis Knights in a rough and tumble game with the Blue Iays coming out at the top end of the score 18-17. All are very proud of the shiny gold trophy on display in the trophy case in the front hall. The F. F. A. initiation was held on October 16, at eight o'c1ock, Seven Green Hand candi- dates were taken in to the organization. The initiates were Otto Buesking , Herman Bockhorst , Robert Gist, Marvin Kassebaum, Leroy Vickers , Lloyd Vitt, and Iames Strubberg. The usual initiation cerem.ony was held and then new members participated in various stunts as an added feature. r , H The County Cross Country Meet, held October 17 , was won by Washington, the host team. Skip Wolfe of New Haven had the Winning time of 1O:46.4. The first seven runners for Washington to cross the line were Earl Apprill, 3: Larry Stoops, 47 Clifford Aitch, 67 James Coons , 97 Bill Warren , 127 Bill Ritter, 147 and Iim Rennick , 19. THE RoAD-RUNNERS I 15 Two days later, October 19 , we played the Herm.ann girls at volleyball on our home court. After the game we gave a party for the victors , the Hermann team., with entertainment by Ruth Gassner, who gave her famous rooster crow. Next year Washington will be the guest of Hermann . Miss Zim.mer was surprised on Friday, October 19 , by the English IV Class. The merrbers brought lemonade and cake to help her celebrate her birthday which was to be on Oc- tober 21 . Of course, everyone sang Happy Birthday and most of the period was spent having fun. ENGLISH IV, ANYONE HUNGRY? Two activities took place on Saturday, October 20. A group of F. H. A. members traveled to Clayton for the sub-district meeting, in which Washington, Winfield, Clayton, Warrenton, Troy, Elsberry, Francis Howell, and Wright City each added to the program. The theme was What's New In Clothing? A fashion show climaxed by a tea made the meeting very enjoyable . CUT THAT RUGI CINDERELLI The first all school dance was held by the seniors that night in the old high school gym- nasium., because the drive way to the new school had been oiled. Who can forget Cinderella as dramatized by Eddie Maupin, and her lshould we say?D lovely sisters? We never knew Ierry Wehmueller and David Buescher could look so stunning in high heels and wigs . We will never forget the jitterbug done by Betty Frankenfeld and Mickey Landers. 'Twas mid-October and time for first term grade cards to be issued. Many doting parents were crushed as they glanced at the poor results their offspring had shown. Twenty-six seniors , twenty-three juniors , twenty-nine sophomores , and thirty-seven freshmen were happy to be listed on the first Honor Roll of the year. On the twenty-third we again played Hermann, this time on their home grounds . This was a game that will help us remember that we play for the fun of the game rather than to win or lose. The twenty-fourth was the first day for our guest of the month program to acquaint the public with our school and the work being done by the students and teachers. Mrs. Raymond Prankenfeld, who was our guest, made a complete tour of the building, visited classes and lunched in the cafeteria to make a full and interesting day. FORMER QUEEN CROWNS KING The F. H. A. and F. F. A. held their annual Barnwarming on October 27. The evening was spent square dancing in the vocational agriculture shop. The officers of the Union F. F. A. and their dates were guests. Refreshments consisting of sloppy-joes , potato chips , pickles, mints, cider, and soda were served in the cafeteria. - The highlight of the evening came as the new king and queen, Otto Buesking and Sondra Brott, mounted the beautiful straw throne and were crowned by the retiring king and queen, Winston Brunjes and Audrey Scheer. Attendants to the king and queen were Bill Warren, Eugene Stettes, Glen Sprick, Paul Giebler, Annette Johnson, Virginia Byrd, Betty Frankenfeld, Alice Tilton, and Nancy Ritter. SWING YOUR PARTNER 17 WRINGING THE DISHRAG The Blue Jays' cross country team finished fifth in the State Cross Country Meet held in Forest Park on October 27. Vashon was the winning school with 68 points. Washington rumners placed as follows: Earl Apprill, l57 Larry Stoops, 285 Clifford Aitch, 447 Bill Ritter, 577 Iames Rennick, 635 Jimmy Coons , 667 and Bill Warren , ll0 . HERE'S ACTION FOR YOU WHERE ARE THE BOYS? HE'LL MAIGI IT YET October 30 came and we welcomed the Bulldogs, St. C1alr's volleyball team, to our home court. The game was very exciting, a tight clinch to the very end resulting in a tie of 17-17. Aga- ,f f if' ' wif in xl fe, l .. N -' K - , Q i ' - ii ' J C N --Q lt K ll r X .'

November was given a 'riotous start with some new fashions displayed on Sophomore Sloppy Day. The big question of the evening party was who would be the king and queen. At last the committee's decision was announced and Queen Carolyn Drewel and King Gerry l-'rankenfeld were the honored couple. The evening was spent dancing and playing games. W. H. S. held itstfirst volleyball tournament on the eighth, ninth, and tenth of November. Our team bowed out in the first round to the Pacific Squaws. The B team played its best gam.e of the season, keeping close to the Squaws to the very end. It was' all very heartbreaking to end the season with a loss, as we had so much fun through it all. The Student Council held a Sadie Hawkins' Square Dance, and the Grannem.ann's added much to the zest of dancing by their fine calling. After Do-Si-Do and much strenuous exercise , the box lunches brought by the girls were thoroughly enjoyed. Johnny Parsons, winner of the 5O0 Mile Auto Race at Indianapolis in 1950 , was our first guest speaker at an assembly. He gave a very interesting talk and showed some racing film.s. Cars of several' students were checked for their safety and all were found in satisfactory condition. Of course , Buz Wieman's and Jerry Wehmueller's cars were not checked. During a student assembly, the installation of the Student Council officers and members was held. Those installed were: Danny Buescher, president: R a m o n'Schultz, Marybelle Drewel, Carl Aulenbacher, Ronnie Walters , Clifford Aitch, Eddie McMul1in, Leroy Aitch, and James Rennick, representatives of the classes. STUDENT COUNCIL INSTALLED Leroy Aitch, Clifford Aitch , Carl Aulenbacher, Ramon Schultz, Daniel Buescher, John Lodenkamper, Marybelle Drewel, Ronald Walters, Edward McMullin, James Rennick, Mrs. Vesta Krafft, Sponsor, Mr. Russell Nix, Principal. J The guest of the month on November 14, was Mrs. George Buescher. She, too, made a tour of the building and classes and observed the students fand teachers in action. The basketball season of the Blue Iays was opened at the Owensville gymnasium. There was an especially good turnout of Pep Club members. This game was certainly one of the thrillers of the season. Chances looked bleak during the first half, as the score read 33-19 , but the thrilling finish m.ade the Iays the victor with a score of 57-56. 1 , The Junior Iays had a big setback at the hands of the tall Owensville Dutchmen, who racked up 72 points to our 4l . The second game of the sea- son proved to be a heartbreaker to the varsity team . The team. played the Warrenton Indians in one of the most disappointing gam.es of the season. The final score read 56 to 54. The Junior Iays made a come- back after their defeat at Owens- ville to triumph over Warrenton 48 to 35. A BEAT ME DADDY WITH A BOOGIE BEAT The F. H. A. initiation was held on November 21 . Did someone say these are tomorrow's homemakers? ? ? One would wonder after looking at the thirty -three initiates as they were garbed in men's trousers, six pigtails , dishcloths around their necks, dainty blouses , over- shoes , and no make-up! V THE FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA? A SOLEMN MOMENT Everyone had been looking forward to the Thanksgiving vacation and a break from the daily grind. At last it came, and even though we had just two days vacation, it was a welcome relief from the routine of school. The first basketball game to be played in our new gymnasium on November 29 , was a disap- pointm.ent to Washingtonians , for the game was lost to the New Ha- ven Shamrocks by a score of 51 to 63. A new feature was added to the excitem.ent of the game when spotlights were played upon the players as they were introduced. A flag ceremony added to the in- teresting evening. IUMP BALL! UP IN THE AIR The first basketball game to be played in our new gymnasium. on November 29 , was a disappointment to the A team, losing to the New Haven Shamrocks by a score of 48 to 58. The B team, however, was victorious with a score of 42 to 31 . wi , Mgr? gil. fc .... R '- ' i' : gi ' D' in . ,: , - --?,. .

The girls assembled in the cafeteria for the hour long test and left with very much to talk about. Did you finish? , Golly, that was hard! , What does a Chippendale chair look like? . Everyone was amazed at all that was connected with homemaking. A t Worried looks on the faces of the students, December 6 , was evidence that the fatal day had once again arrived at W. H. S. Ckade cards were issued! As the day wore on , some were fortunate enough to change from worried to jubilant: but others , well ...... 1 l BEWILDERE D if The German Band is an active part of the Pep Club and the whole student body thoroughly enjoyed the German and Jazz m.usic of the band under the supervision of Mr. Land. The cheerleaders also en- joyed dancing to such songs as Sweet Georgia Brown And When The Saints Go Marching In. The band from the left, Jerry Joerling, Steve Otto, David Buescher, Harold Whitworth , Jerry Runge , Charles Sincox, and Mickey Landers . The cheerleaders worked very hard this year and one would often see them practicing before and after school. Co-ordination and timing were the main goals of the squads and, as everyone will agree, their efforts were reward- ed. The cheerleaders from the left, Jeanette Johnson, Dixie Buescher, Carolyn Shotwell, Marilyn Shotwell, Marybelle Drewel, Judy Tiley, LaVerne Schuetz, Annette Johnson, Betty Frankenfeld, and Johnny Faris. The Jays won first place in the Warrenton tourney, December 4-8 , by defeating Vandalia 56 to 39, Bowling Green 66 to 54, and finally Warrenton 68 to 55. The Junior Jays also took first place in the B division. Will we ever learn our lines? was the cry of the Junior Play cast, December 7. Dress rehearsal was upon them , and everyone was positive that no one else would know his lines in time and the play would be a total flop. The Perfect Idiot BACK ROW: Bonnie Kissinger, Madeline Crump, Ronnie Walter, Therissa Dickinson, Frank Mays , Sondra Brott, Eddie Smith, Rudy Gardner, LaVerne Schuetz.

Con- fusion was everywhere. Then, before anyone realized it, the play began. It was over all too soon. Everyone did a fine job of acting the story of a brilliant unsocial boy who tried to teach the school athlete how to study and became a social success in the process. The Blue Jays were hosts to Pacific December 14. It proved to be an exciting game with WaShi1'1Qton. the victor in an overtime 66 to 60. The Iunior lays Won 42 to 28. They held the lead all the Way through the entire game. On the afternoon of December 15 , the junior class with its usual eagerness and extrava- gance set to the task of decorating the gymnasium for the Christmas Dance to be held there that night. The seniors on the entertainment committee were going over their parts , While the sophomores m.ade ready to sell refreshments. At 7:30 P. M. couples, as well as stags , began arriving and took tables arranged around the gymnasium decorated with brightly lit Christmas trees--nine of them.. The Star-Lighters provided the music for dancing, which everyone enjoyed. During the dance, soda was being sold in the cafeteria. At the intermission the seniors took over with fine entertainm.ent, featuring Christmas m.usic sung by a choral group and a solo sung by Annabelle Walker. Everyone left the dance in high spirits, even the freshmen who had the job of cleaning up the next day. Washington High had its annual Christmas Concert on December 16.

This time it's Judy Tiley and Cheryl Kell with Mr. Ioerling overseeing them while they feed wee baby mice, the raising of which is their project. Interesting isn't it?

The Yearbook Staff for 1956-57 was selected in September by faculty members who chose Kenneth Taylor as Editor, Gilbert Hoppe as Assistant Editor, Luther Bierbaum as Business Mana- ger, Charles Lohmeyer as Assistant Business Manager, and Lulu Roloff as Secretary. Other members of the staff were chosen from each class so that the annual would be representative of the school. Three committees were organized from this latter group. The Art Committee made all drawings and art work while the Circulation Committee , and the Advertising Committee had the jobs of selling annuals and advertising. Much work was required and many hours were spent by the Staff and sponsors who met several nights a week and on Sunday afternoon in order to have the annual ready for the printer on the deadline of February 15, 1957. After a brief rest.from this schedule, the group must begin its work on the Supplement, which must go to the printer before school closes in May. g 1 MR.

EVELYN SALOF Transferred Pro Hardy High School Hardy , Arkansa J M Y-J f NWN mWxX X 5 Q I ,- Y u f-Q ' It Happened Then The freshmen of 1953-54 entered Washington High School with an enrollment of 95. The freshmen were given an orientation course in their social studies class to acquaint them with the high school routine and procedures. After the first six weeks' period, the following officers were elected: President, Jerry Wehmuellerp Vice-President, Doris Wood: Secretary, Carol Lohmeyery and Treasurer, Iean Gurtler. Later in the year an election was held to choose the most popular and most versatile students of the class. Ierry Wehmueller and Doris Wood were chosen to be the most popular and Wayne Wilke and Ruth Gassner were chosen as the most versatile. In the spring, jerry Wehmueller, Iim Froning, jean Gurtler and Mary Althage were selected as attendants for the May Festival. The year was climaxed with a trip to St. Louis where we saw Cinerama, then a very new thing in movies. After seeing the show we Went to the Forest Park Highlands where everybody rode everything and had a very wonderful time. 1, i The sophomore year was started with most of the members of the class returning. This year the class was under the leadership of President, Danny Buescherp Vice-President, Iim Froningp Secretary, Marybelle Drewely and Treasurer , Ruth Gassner. The highlight of this year was the Sophomore Sloppy Day Party and the crovming of King Keigh Branson and Queen Betsy Ungerer. In the court of the May Festival were Kenny Taylor, Danny Buescher, Betty Frankenfeld and Marybelle Drewel, members of our class. Boating, tennis , badminton, Wading, dancing, and ping-pong were enjoyed by the class members who went to Fox Springs for the class outing. In the fall of '55 the class re-entered W. H. S. as Iuniors. Undertaking the responsible duties of class officers were Kenneth Taylor, Betty Frankenfeld, Mary Althage, and Harlan Begemann. Work was soon begun on chosing and preparing the class play, A Message From, Mars , which was presented on December l . By January, the largest project of the year, the Iunior-Senior Prom, was in the stage of planning. Disneyland was chosen as the theme for af fantasy of Cinderella's Pumpkin, Prince Charming's Castle and murals depicting Disneyland characters. Royal Attendants to the King and Queen were David Buescher, Wayne Wilke, Iean Oberhaus and Doris Wood. 2 . W VW! , .XX pl'k 17 iw v W -y S1 2, 'X X.

On September 28, a sock and handkerchief shower was given for Mr. Webb, our sponsor at that time. We were very happy to welcome Mr. Nelson Hall as our new sponsor. The junior play The Per- fect ldiot was a big project for the class, but a very successful and en- joyable one. The Christmas dance decorations were executed by the juniors and were quite beautiful, though traditional Christmas trees were used. A junior class party in- cluded an old fashioned box supper which was an unusual entertainment for the class. MRS.

' After the first six weeks of hustle and bustle everyone was well on the way to knowing most of his fellow classmen and it was time to select our leaders for the year. At a special meeting, the following class officers were elected: Leroy Aitch, President, Iim Rennick, Vice-President: Iudy Iett, Secretary, Diane Wilson, Treasurer: johnny Faris , Reporter. At an assembly in October, Nancy Ritter and Dixie Buescher were selected as the freshman representatives in the cheerleading squad. Nancy moved to Blue Springs , Missouri just before mid-term and Johnny Faris was chosen to take her place. At a special class meeting in Ianuary we elected Dixie Buescher and Bob Schuetz the most popular girl and boy. Iudy Iett and lim Rennickl were elected the most versatile boy and girl. As freshmen, we of course , had the dubious pleasure and honor of cleaning up after the Christmas dance.
