Each committee was composed of one representative from each senior conference room. The Social Committee made arrangements for several dances, and the first one was held in the early fall. An afternoon dance was given on St. Patricks Day, and the Senior Prom was planned for Iune 3rd, the date of which was determined by a vote of the senior class. The Ring Committee took orders for and distributed the senior jewelry and graduation announcements. The Senior Class Day was written and planned by the Senior Day Committee. In order for an idea to be brought before any of the committees, it had to be given to one of the conference room representatives and then brought before a com- bined meeting ol the three committees which compiled all the necessary information concerning the idea. The idea was then presented to the senior class for their ap- proval or rejection. The success of the senior class can be attributed greatly to the excellent Work of the Senior Governing Body.

In the early fall they gave a candy sale in which all the students participated by making the candy and wrapping or selling it. Enough money was raised to enable them to give a Hallowe'en dance, the Big Pumpkin.

Soon, in every phase of school life there was found a representative number of juniors. One of the main social events of the year was the junior Icicle, held on january 21st in the senior girls' gym. The success of the affair was due largely to the following committees: Bud Van Tas- sell, decorations, Bill Hinson and Charles Grisham, advertisingg Harry Hilleary, tickets, and Bob Gates, orchestra. Since the basket ball team won its game that night, the members of the team were admitted free to dance among the blue and white decorations and to the music of Art Kruth's orchestra. Later in the year an afternoon dance was held. As in past years the Echo selected members from this class to serve as ushers at Coronation of the Echo Queen on April lst. In May the juniors presented a very lovely prom in honor of the senior class. On the athletic field there were a great number of participants. Next year's co-captains, joe Eillo and Bill Hinson, along with Iim Sears, Harry Hilleary, and Hugo Goerner played an enthusiastic game this year. Bill Hinson and Harry Hilleary were outstanding regulars on the basket ball varsity squad as well.

Twelve members of the class were picked for the junior basket ball team. The forwards were Audrey Anderson, lean Blough, Au- drey Doerle, Iean Langley, Mary Trefts, and Doris Wolf, guards: Dorothy Busch, Ieanburl Dorsey, Sarah Kaufman, Virginia Mattox, Eleanor Miller, and Gloria Wessel. Audrey Anderson also earned a position on the Varsity. ln the music department members of this class displayed their talents, Several members were chosen for the advanced A Cap- pella choir, and the beginning choir draws most of its members from this class. Debating and public speaking also held an interest for lames Iennings and Robert McKelvey. Although the class has taken great interest in social affairs, music, and sports, still it has maintained its scholastic standing as is shown by the fact that nine students were inducted into the Torch.

Take, iirst, the regular curriculum. The only required subject is English. As far as the rest oi the program is concerned the stu- dent is expected to plan his course oi study according to his own desires and the requirements oi the college or professional school he has chosen. As a general rule, either algebra or plane geometry and one of the four languages, Latin, French, Spanish, and Ger- man, are included in the year's study. Training in commercial courses is open to future secretaries. Those interested in music may enroll in the boys' and girls' glee clubs or in the orchestra and band.

Then in basket ball we again found both Iohn Brien and Charles Forsythe. The girls, too, showed a keen interest and enthusiasm in hockey and basket ball. The sophomore hockey team was comprised of twenty members. Perhaps the most outstanding player for the team was Virginia Parker, the goalie.

Many girls who wished to lend their support to the school be- came members of the pep club, while a large number of the boys joined the Soph-Y, a branch of the Hi-Y. One ambitious member of this class succeeded in gaining mem- bership in the National Forensic League, an honorary organiza- tion for outstanding debaters and public speakers. Students are usually not admitted until their junior or senior year because so many public appearances are required for membership, Taylor Boggs, however, gained this honor by his work both in original oratory and debate.

No event in their school careers has been quite so important, for entering the senior school means the beginning of a new life. The time to which they have looked forward for so long, the time when they would be able to share in the activities of the senior school and be considered a part of the upper school life, had finally come. Their three new home-room sponsors were Miss Bailey, Miss Goldman, and Miss Vossbrink. Many of the mid-sophomore boys played on the B and C football teams and on the freshman basketball team. Don Katowsky played right field on the baseball nine, and Tom Mullen and lack Overman filled the third base position. The 10-B student must become accustomed to new studies which are offered in the high school,-subjects such as biology, plane geometry, American history, and modern history. English is a required subject. The tenth grade pupils may continue with their language studies for two or three years, After taking algebra l and ll, the students who wished to learn more about the subject took sophomore algebra. Other subjects which they chose were foods, clothing, the com- mercial subjects, art, instrumental and vocal music, industrial arts, and physical education.

The seventh and eighth graders look up to him as an example and leader. Upon entering the ninth grade each student, with the aid ot his parents and Mr. Aldrich, plans a general course ot study tor his high school years. For the iirst time he is given a rather wide choice ot what he wants to study and do. The electives from which he may make a choice are: Orchestra, band, glee club, French, Latin, Spanish, German, foods, clothing, business prac- tice, ancient history, social science, and manual training. The only required subjects are English and algebra. A number ot freshman boys were Lower School Monitors, whose duty it was to check any disorder in the hall. Twenty-nine mem- bers of the class were taken into the membership ot the Iunior Honor Society, a national organization,-the student being judged on the basis of his character, leadership, scholarship, and service to the school betore he was admitted into the organization.

Their interest in school attairs was very evident One of the members ot this class, Iohn Gable, was elected president of the lower school. The monitor staff, which contains more than one hundred members, was composed largely of boys from the 9B class. Their service was instrumental in making the junior school a better place for the students. These boys took their athletics seriously, also, for Miss Hamakers conference room carried off top honors in the ninth-grade basket ball tournament after defeating all of their opponents. The 9B students were allowed to choose all their subjects ex- cept English for the first time at the beginning of the second sem- ester this year, when they ventured into the real beginning ot their high school careers. The solid subjects from which ninth grade students may choose are Spanish, French, German, Latin, algebra, general mathematics, social science, and ancient history. The wide range of electives includes art, music, foods, clothing, business practice, and manual training.

There was a friendly spirit of rivalry among them for each desired to win the exciting basket ball tournament. The girls took part in various athletic activities, including basket ball, volley ball, and baseball. Both boys and girls lent their loyal support to the varsity teams by attending the games and cheering enthusiastically. When a student reaches his second year in junior high, he is given a choice of two electives. To those who enjoy foreign lan- guages a course is offered for a semester in which time a student becomes acquainted with Latin, French, Spanish, and German. For a pupil who desires to study Latin, there is a preparatory course which he is required to have if he continues the subject. Band, orchestra, glee club, dramatics, manual training, and general busi- ness science are others from which a choice may be made. Each student was required to take mathematics, English, general science and social science. One member of this class had spent a year abroad and attended school in Germany for a short time.

Officers were elected in each of the three conference rooms, Mr. Hicks's, Mrs. Latowsky's and Mr. Case's. Although there were no meetings of the class as a whole, the individual conference rooms often had programs or business meet- ings, which were usually held on Friday or whenever any matter of importance came up. On the other tour days of the school week the conference periods were reserved for studying lessons or for reading. Mr. Case's conference room basket ball team shared first place with Mr. Hicks's five in the eighth-grade basket ball tournament. Each team won six oi their games, but both quintets dropped one decision. All these 8B students were required to take the English, mathe- matics, general science, and social science courses. They also took gym and reading, alternate courses. Each was allowed to choose one ot the following electives: general language, a busi- ness course, dramatics, vocal or instrumental music, manual train- ing, and mechanical drawing.

To the seventh grader the jump from grade school to junior high is quite an important, yet strange, experience. The student has to acquaint himself with new teachers, associates, building, studies, and grading system. Then, too,f he finds that he is the smallest member in a very large group where before he was the important one. But these boys and girls, though a little bewildered at first, readily adjusted themselves, and now they are first-class Websterites. The class had six conference room sections which competed against one another in a basket ball tournament, The girls played in inter-mural basket ball and volley ball tournaments throughout the year. In the last few years the seventh grader has been allowed to take part in a number of clubs, and several dramatic produc- tions were presented by the group. As in all junior high school classes certain studies were required: mathematics, English, social science, reading, and gymnasium. In addition they were allowed one elective-a choice of speech, citi- zenship, sewing, cooking, art, and manual training.

The mem- bers of this organization are the leaders of the stu- dent body and serve as an example to the rest of the school. At the beginning of the year the business of the society was carried on by the six remaining mem- bers-Bill Allen, Willard Brien, Nancy McKaig, Alice Paschen, Helen Reader, and Nancy Winfrey. On November 8th a beautiful induction ceremony in the Little Theatre brought in twenty-nine new mem- bers. Afterwards refreshments were served for parents and friends. Later there was a party of these new members. The society carried out many useful projects, one of these was serving as tutors for backward students. Students were grateful for the noon-period study under the supervision of society members in the junior school library. During the second semester, a party was given for the newly inducted members. Then plans were made for a lower school dance, the proceeds of which went to some service for the school.

Along with this change has come an improvement in the disposition of the teachers. The reason for this is the organization by Miss Brantley and Mr. Lotta of the Lower School Monitors, who have eagerly and capably taken over the job of policing the junior school. In the years before the monitor system was estab- lished, the chaos in the halls between classes and at noon was such that it was not humanly possible for the teachers to cope with the situation. This group of one hundred and fifteen boys do their best to keep the halls clear, to prevent accidents, and to keep the lunch room orderly. This year the boys have become more organized than ever before by the adoption of a code and identifying armbands. In addition to the monitors themselves, there were half a dozen girls who assisted with the clerical work. Rec- ords were kept of all reports turned in and were given weekly to homeroom teachers. Altogether, the monitor system served its purpose adequately, and in addition helped to build character, NINETEENTHIHTY-NINE Student Gounci Rennels, Braun, T., Pritchard, Oster, Kendall, Peterson, McKee, Lothman, Peters, Dassler, Smith dGblB'd L B H.Hlk W'ht,BlldMCth,Talor Greenwoo, a e, ie erman, ee, raun, , oe amp, rig a ar, c ar y y Hart, Pronko, Allen, Quevereux, Mattox, Lane, Schregardus, Sass, Krebs, Bushman Erickson, Allen, Teach, Herzog, Wenzlick, Reichard, Young, Combs, lones, Archard Blair, Selbert, McKaig, Koenig, Broeder, Wessel, Ellison, Schatz, Nachtman The Student Council expresses the wishes and desires ot the students. Its purpose, as the constitution states, is to give the students an opportunity for participation in the government of the school and to promote co- operation between the pupils and faculty. As is cus- tomary, the president ol both schools and president ot the upper school automatically become the two main otticers in the council. The body of the Student Council is made up of representatives elected by the students from each conference group. They began their activities by sponsoring the student activity ticket, and through posters, several assemblies, and a special edition of The Echo, their campaign proved successful. During the year, special committees worked on the student handbook in an attempt to perfect it for publication. During February, the Council gave an eve- ning dance to cover the cost of the printing ot the book. The constitution of the organization was printed in sev- eral issues of The Echo in order to acquaint everyone with the purpose ol the organization. Once again the Student Council proved to be one ot the more active organizations in the school. ROBERT TAYLOR President WILLIAM LOTHMAN Vice-President THOMAS GREENWOOD Secretary-Treasurer MR.

There are three basic qualifications for election into the Thespians and any one of them is sufficient for mem- bership, first, a lead or two minor parts in a play: second, being a member of the stage crew, and finally those holding major positions on the busi- ness staff. This year the club initiated many new members. They held two separate initiations in order to give participants in later plays a chance to join. Each initiate gave a dramatic reading or recitation before the club. Membership entitled one to a subscription to the National Thespian Magazine which prints news of general interest. In the Magazine appeared sev- eral pictures of current Little Theatre Productions. The organization held no regular meetings since the presentation of plays was their main activity and it met only to elect officers and to initiate new mem- bers. This year the club is to be especially compli- mented for, with the aid of Mr. Wood, it has given Webster a number of notable plays.

At the first of the year there was only one member in the organization, but in March 16 new members were elected. At that time the new members were informed that the purpose of the Quill and Scroll is to instill in students the ideal of scholarship, to advance the stand- ards of the profession of journalism by developing bet- ter journalists and by inculcating a higher code of ethicsp to promote exact and dispassionate thinking, clear and forceful Writing. One of the main accomplishments of the organization was the editing of the Challenge which was published in May.

Few people realize the amount of Work that must be done before a play is ready to be shown, for the actors are merely one phase of it. The management of all business affairs was carried on by the students. It was the duty of the business man- ager and his assistants to see that the door receipts tallied, and that the selling of tickets was managed effi- ciently. The house manager had charge of the printing and distribution of tickets and programs and was respon- sible-to the business manager for reports. The property manager had one of the most difficult jobs, that of creat- ing or collecting props and to see that they were re- turned. The stage crew was one of the most important divisions of the production staff. Under the direction of Mr. Zemitsch, an alumnus, the crew constructed sets two evenings a Week. Over all these workers was the stage manager whose duty it was to see that the various peo- ple on the staff had completed their assignments.

This year the question for debate was Resolved: that the United States should establish an alliance with Great Britain. ln debating this question, Webster representatives have travelled all over Mis- souri and several other states. Webster won all its district debates, defeating the following high schools: Iennings, Eureka, Brentwood, and Hancock. On February 3 and 4, the Webster Groves Chapter spon- sored a National Forensic League tournament attended by teams from all over Missouri and Illinois.

TONER Advisers Page Seventy-six The Echo is truly what its name connotes. It echoes the spirit of the school in each of its aspects thus striving to promote high ideals among the students. On the average of once every two weeks the school- wide bustling and excitement may be attributed to the appearance of the paper. There are sixteen regular editions with intermittent special editions. Many innovations have been introduced by this year's staff, the chief one being the streamline char- acteristic. Although the conservative make-up has been abandoned, the equivalent of one column has been added in width and two and one-half inches in length. The promotion of three special features, the interview, the human interest story, and the let- ters to the editor section, have been added, and the system of developing writers in the news writing class has been developed. The Echo staff confines itself not to newspaper work alone but participates in several outside activities.

As the year went on, they began to ac- complish the more specific tasks, such as securing and filing of contracts, the arrangement of features, senior pic- tures, clubs and other group pictures. ln order to add uniformity and consistency to the pictures of the senior girls it was decided that all the girls wear white sweaters when their pictures were taken, and the majority of senior girls complied with this wish. Their first money-making project was an after school dance and a pie-eating contest. Next, staff members sold candy at all the home football and basket ball games. The sale of Turkey Day buttons was greatly stimulated by offering a prize to the student selling the most buttons within a required length of time. Next, a magic show, with Hendricks the magician as chief per- former, was given, Then, late in the spring, the yearly amateur show was presented. The Annual gave several parties during the year, one a Christmas buffet supper at Kathryn Graf's, and another on Valentine's Day.

Members of the junior and mid-junior classes acted as ushers. Following traditional cus- tom the members of the senior class selected eighteen girls as members of the court. Next they selected the six special maids, and, finally, the Whole upper school elected the queen from these six girls. All court members must rank in the upper two-thirds of their class and participate in several extra-curricular activities. The eighteen girls selected for the court Were: Iune Brocksmith, Sue Broeder, Mary Clark, Mary lane Crump, Doreen Dunwoody, Grace Egen, Enid Ellison, Kathryn Graf, loy Hackmann, Eunice Haddaway, Betty Higgins, Harriett Lloyd, Betty Nye strom, Alyce Oliver, Iean Richardson, Mary Tillay, lean Wenzlick, and Barbara Wright.

As the editor called upon the crownbearer to lead the queen-elect to the throne, the retiring queen relinquished her crown to the new queen. The audience burst into applause to'greet the 1939 Echo Oueen, Miss Har- riett Lloyd. The queen's dress was of pink despris and she carried a bouquet ol corresponding pink roses. The retiring queen wore white mussoliene de soi and carried American Beauty roses. The remainder of the court, as well as the girl ushers, wore pastel formals. The arrangement of colors was such that it made the Coronation a beautiful spectacle. SPECIAL MAIDS DOREEN DUNWOODY ENID ELLISON KATHRYN ORA?

All business meetings and social functions were carried on in French as much as possible. Games, spelling bees, and plays also helped to increase interest in spoken French. Meetings were held on alternate Tuesday afternoons, and the min- utes were written in French. The first meeting was devoted to the making of plans for the year. Officers were elected, the initiation was planned, and entrance requirements were decided. The next activity of the club was the formal initiation of new members, who numbered about fifty. The initiates were divided into groups to perform stunts, and then their initiation was ended by the presentation of a small paper French flag to each. At a later meeting held in Forest Park, all present en- joyed a treasure hunt and Wiener roast. Alfred Fingulin spoke about his trip to France last summer, and Margaret Neale told the club about schools in Canada. Three unexcused absences excluded a person from membership, and small annual dues were charged to cover the cost of business, parties, and incidental ex- penses.

The staff was headed this year by Mary Catherine Guild as editor. The fluttering leaves of La Feuille Volante, written en- tirely in French, appeared once a month. The headings represented a scene typical of the month of publication. The first and second pages were given over to articles on current events or to important anniversaries of that season. The last page was made into a feature section and was found to be very popular with the readers. Another added feature this year was a continued story. The month between publications may have seemed long to Waiting subscribers, but not so to the staff. First, appropriate articles for the issue were planned in a huddle of editor and sponsor, Miss Woods. Then the articles were assigned to the reporters to prepare, The typists arranged the material for a neat appearance and typed each article. Mimeographing and assembling of the sheets completed the process. Then La Feuille Volante was ready tor distribution to eager French students.

Its activities do not pertain solely to Latin, since in the last year the club held several joint meetings with other clubs for programs of mutual interest. Because of the large enrollment, which passed 90 this year, the club was divided into three groups. The Sena- tors have taken or were taking Vergilg the Knights were taking or have completed a year of Cicero, the Plebeians were either fighting Caesar's Gallic Wars or had won them all. Latin Club meetings were held alter school on every other Tuesday, alternating with the Spanish, French, and German clubs because of mutual membership. At this time many varied and interesting programs were given. The first meeting on October 4 was devoted to the election of otticers. On October 14 a joint meeting with the French Club was held in the auditorium. At this time, Francis Schaedler, 4-H Club member of Eureka, Missouri, talked about the club, and Pat Woodward, also a 4-H Club member, told about her week's stay in Columbia at the State 4-H Club Round-up this summer.

The Christmas party, held in the lunch room, was highly successful, there were refreshments, entertain- ment, and group singing. Another party was held on Valentine's Day in Room 117. As the president drew the valentines from the decorated box, Margaret Alder- son and Betty Ann Kaiser gave them out. Refreshments were suckers in the shape of hearts. Another interesting program was given on Ianuary 17 by Tom Curtis, a former Latin Club member. He spoke about the advantages of Latin in education, pointing out the fact that Latin is an excellent background for the study of modern languages, law, and science. Other activities were a debate, parties, a day of cha- rades, and entries in the Latin contests at Washington University. At Christmas time the club collected over forty dollars, which amount was given to the Farmington orphanage.

After many conferences with Miss Farmer, the sponsor, the articles were Written by Elisabeth Irish, editor, and Iudith Lee and Harriet Lishen, associate editors. These articles gave interesting facts concerning the Romans. On the back page were other articles and also the con- tributions of the humor editors. After all articles had been turned in, they were read and corrected by Iean Wenzlick, copy editor. Then each article was blocked to fit the column width, and the stencil was made by Marcella Reinhardt, typist. This year a vote of thanks was due to the typing classes for their help in getting the paper printed. The final step-the subscribers received their long-awaited copy of Latinus Rumor.

One was a talk by Carlos Piaget, who showed the group some interesting pictures ot his country and people, and various Mexican articles. In addition, the members made a trip to the Art Museum to see a display of Mexican art which dated back to the time of the Aztec Indians. In the fall the annual Wiener roast and scavenger hunt was given in Forest Park. This year, however, E1 Circulo Espanol and Le Cercle Francais joined forces and had a combined picnic.

Sponsored by Mr. Eberwein, the group held its meet- ings on the first and third Tuesdays of each school month. For these meetings, very interesting programs were planned. Early in the fall, the club sponsored a picnic at Forest Park. Speeches were given at various meetings by students who traveled in Germany during the past year. These speakers gave their impressions and observations on general conditions and customs in Germany. George Kahle, another student, showed some excellent moving pictures on Germany. Ellen Schoene also gave a very interesting talk on Goethe, a German author. One of the main activities of the club was the pub- lication of their paper, Die Deutsche Post. The paper, Written entirely in German, printed news of interest and importance to the students. It was published once every three Weeks. All in all, the German Club has had a most eventful year and hopes that the interest of students in the German language will continue in coming years.

The club was organized, governed, and conducted entirely by students, Mr. Schulz acting only as a listener and as a safeguard against possible explosions resulting irom faulty experiments. The meetings were held every other Tuesday after school. The majority ot the meetings consisted of ex- periments and illustrated talks on some chemical process that is not included in the usual science course, hence the club members had an opportunity to learn more practical chemistry, for example, Bob Newman gave an interesting experiment on the characteristics and corn- position oi thermite. George Owen conducted a reveal- ing experiment on the analysis ol exactly how much silver is contained in a dime. Occasionally, an outside speaker was asked to attend the club meeting to give a talk on a particular topic of interest. The club members usually asked questions at the end of the program, and an animated discussion, to which all contributed, fol- lowed.

A small entry fee covers incidental expenses and is also used to replace old equipment. The members pay for their own ammunition, but the majority use rifles belonging to the club. The activities of the club are carried on between October and April. The club is one of eight teams in a league of high school teams of this district, the teams engage in matches with each other throughout the shooting season. To attain the qualifying score for membership, five teams were formed for competition. Their captains Were Paul Strippgen, Langdon Woods, Blaine Ulmer, Bill Peters, and Gene Christmann. The latter three, respectively, were also high men for the year. Since the team was not elected for the year but was constantly changed, everyone had an equal chance. Because of this and the many benefits derived, the Rifle Club had very enthusiastic and hard-working members on its roster.

One was the establish- ment of a Social Welfare Committee to carry on all their charity work. This committee contributed to various local charities, their chief donation being a monthly contribution to Miss Tarpley, the visiting teacher, for her social welfare work in the schools of this com- munity. The boys also contributed old clothes to the underprivileged children of the city.

Interest and Willingness to comply with the rules ol the club are all that is required ol a member, although the majority show promising talent. Materials are supplied by the school without charge. The students work with diligence and cheertulness. The walls of the room are covered with sketches and paint- ings, results ot long hours of Work. Meetings were held every Thursday and lasted as long as one Wanted to remain. Frequent trips to the Art Museum were made, impromptu parties were given on meeting days, and sometimes models were brought in. Many interesting projects were carried out during the meetings. Some of these were metal baggage tags, notebooks, chalk sketches, and posters for contests. The Art Club was of great service to the Red Cross, the members rejuvenated Christmas cards, made books of pictures, painted' menu covers for the sailors on our country's battleships, and made puppet shows. The membership and interest of the club increased to such an extent that it was one ot the most enthusiastic groups in the school.

Their meetings were held regularly every Monday and Thursday evening. Allan Beck, a former student at Webster, acted as instructor and ad- visor to the members. The club has as two of its mem- bers, the youngest fencers in St. Louis, Ieanne Dekker and Barbara Ellison. The club is affiliated with the Amateur Fencing League of America which schedules meets periodically. The first meet was the beginning boys' tournament on December the twelfth in which Burk Stout, Al Gruer, and Iam e s Dinsmoor came in first, second, and third, respectively. The beginning girls also had a tournament, Ianuary the twelfth, in which Evon Dooley came in firstg Ieanne Dekker, secondg and Barbara Ellison, third. During the year, several club members gave an exhibition at Avery School. ln the St. Louis Champion- ship Meet, the novice foil team was awarded second place. Toward the end of each school year the club sponsors a Championship tournament, in which only Webster students participate. Following this meet, the Fencing Club gave their final party.

This year the students rode at Westwood Stables on Thursday afternoons and Saturday mornings. Cantering through the wooded trails was especially enjoyed by the mem- bers, however, serious riding was practiced too. Any- one could stay in the ring and receive pointers on riding from the Misses Toner or Otis Brown. lt was at Westwood that the purpose of the club, to promote good sportsmanship and horsemanship, was ful- filled. Aside from the actual riding, the club had regular meetings on the first Wednesday of every month. At the first meeting officers were chosen and plans for the year were made. The initiation of the new mem- bers was held in one of the first meetings which offered a lot of fun and laughs for everyone, even for the new members. The enrollment was so large this year that only fifty students were allowed to become active members. Aside from these, were twenty-five students who became inactive or associate members.

Anyone who missed two meetings in a row or failed to ride once a month was forced to become inactive. The first person on the inactive list then became an active member. All of the privileges, except voting and holding office, were ex- tended to the associate member. In addition to the regular meetings, the club partici- pated in many social events. The most outstanding one was the annual Christmas breakfast or Riding Club Round-up as it was called. The alumni were invited to join the members in the ride before break- fast and then come to the Round-up at the Deane Sisters. It was most exciting seeing so many of the old members and hearing of their experiences with the horses during the year, Six members of the club entered the Maryville Horse Show this year and received top honors. The real highlight of the year was the spring horse show which was given by the club on the athletic field at school. There were thirty-three entries in the show and many of the students in school helped make it a great success.

The officers had been chosen the year before so the club was ready to function at once. The members gathered together every Monday night to skate at the Winter Garden. There was a require- ment that everyone must skate at least once a month. It was also possible for the girls to gain fifty points to- ward a in the Girls' Athletic Association if she skated twice a month during the year. The purpose of the club was to create and maintain an interest in this sport of ice skating, The club was not only for the girls who could already skate, but also for those who desired to learn. Whenever there was an opportunity the members would skate on the pond at Algonquin or on the lagoon in Forest Park. ln the spring near the closing of the Winter Garden the club went to Garavellis for dinner. After this they all went skating together at the rink, This dinner and skate was the climax to another successful year of a most popular club.

The first meeting was held in the fall under the sponsorship of Miss Sutherland. The officers were chosen and arrangements were made for the members to skate in the Maplewood rink. This rink was found to be too small so they changed to the Arena which was much better and met with the approval of all the members. The club skated on the second and fourth Wednesday of every month, and it was a requirement that every member skate once a month. Girls who desired to gain points for the Girls' Athletic Association had to skate twice a month. In spite of the fact that the Roller Skating Club was a beginner this year, it had the support of all its members and therefore was a great success. The purpose of the club was to give the girls an opportunity to skate to- gether on a regular rink, This purpose was fulfilled to the utmost, and even some of the lower school pupils joined the members in order to get in their bit of skating.

The purpose ot the club, which is to promote school spirit and good sportsmanship, is practically the only thing that remains the same in both organizations. At the first meeting in the fall, the idea of reorganiza- tion was brought forth. Everyone agreed that the name Yellow jacket was not appropriate for the club. The argument was brought up that this had been the name for the past sixteen years and should not be changed, but this idea was overruled. The colors of the school do not contain yellow so the advisability of keeping such a name was considered negative by the members. The name Pep Club was the one most favored and was adopted. The next adjustment to be made was the change in the yellow jackets worn as the emblem of membership. Probably the strongest objection to the club was the tact that a member was compelled to wear one of those unattractive jackets. This seemed quite a drastic thing to do since everyone in the club owned a jacket.

There was a great deal of discussion, but finally the members voted for it to be the official jacket. A plan was devised so that a cer- tain amount was deducted from price of the new jackets if the old ones were turned in to Miss Vossbrink. ln this way the members felt that they were not at a corn- plete loss over the exchange of jackets. lt was then necessary to plan a new system of ad- mitting members to the club. In the past years many members would drop out because of their lack of co- operation in fulfilling the club regulations. A new method was established which enabled only the faith- ful girls to become members. Any sophomore girl could enter the club as a pledge. It was necessary for her to be on probation for one semester and during that time wear an orange emblem on a White shirt on the days that the Pep Club members Wore their jackets. lf at the end of this time, the pledge was still in good stand- ing with the club, she was then entitled to become a Cheer Leaders IEAN BROCKSMITH IUNE BROCKSMITH MARIE DUMONT Page Ninety-nine he 656110 Iarvis, Meyers, Langley, Kremer, Knupp, Kronig, Lishen, Mattox Hobertson, Kloepper, McKee, A., Miller, McKee, R.g Iones, Kaiser, Press, Lutz Natchmann, Richardson, Hurdel, Lionberger, Garth, McGee, Graf, Eschenberg Napier, Iones, O'Dell, Rozier, Pold, Margaret, Pold, Martha, Alcott, Moellman, Reinhart member and wear a Pep Club jacket. This system proved to be the most successful way of having as mem- bers only those girls Who were interested in athletics and would co-operate with the club. The members of the Pep Club wore their black jackets on the days before each football, basket ball and base- ball game. The girls were required to attend all of the home football games, one-third of the home basketball games, and one-half of the home baseball games. In the spring when the weather was too warm it was not compulsory to wear the jackets. In failing to fulfill one of these things, a demerit was given a member, and if she had three demerits, she was automatically dropped from the club. The girls who were on probation were also required to do the above things. These were the regulations on which they were pledged for membership. The same method of checking the girls was continued from last year as that plan proved to be very success- ful. The girls were divided into groups with one girl Page One Hundred Checkers EMILY BLAIR IUNE BROCKSMITH PEGGY COEEMAN MARIE DUMONT NlNLlEEN'l'HlPiTY-NINE Schoene, Wessel, Schultz, Zwillinq, Sheldon, Young, Smith, Sanford SlldSth St bS WlhTh Wtt C019 , TUC OH, Yflll , UTHYTIG, Spenser, GS , elSS, YG Thomas, Wolf, Wood, Zlngree, Sutter, Smith, Weaver, Twombly, Steinmeyer Checkers ELSA EVANS IRMA GRIFFITI-IS IDA SCHOENE HAZEL Sl-IELDON in charge of each group. lt was her duty to see that the girls wore thair jackets on the required days before the game, At school the girls reported to their checker and at the games they signed a slip of paper as they entered. In the fall the organization sold orange and black pen- nants. These pennants had a rubber suction cap at- tached to the end, which enabled the pennant to be held on any flat surface. These helped very much toward promoting school spirit, The members of the Pep Club were well satisfied with their new club. Too, there was much more contentment among them, since the jackets were so much more at- tractive, They felt as if their efforts were well rewarded as they saw their plans take shape and carried out with so much success. With the election of new officers in the spring the Pep Club hoped their efforts would prove successful through the coming year and that their members would continue to be the chief enthusiasts at all sport games.

The various tasks of the staff are: checking out and stamping books, collecting fines, taking study hall at- tendance, repairing damaged booksg keeping the books and periodicals in order on the shelves, seeing that the card catalog is kept up to date, and filing all orders from teachers for new reference and textbooks to use in their classes. These varied duties offer invaluable aid and experience to those who are willing to take advantage of Working in the library and to the students who benefit by their efforts. During National Book Week, the staff sponsored an assembly with Mr. Koenig who spoke on the value of reading and consulting books before taking a trip, and he illustrated his advice with a brief but interesting talk on his travels in Palestine and Egypt. At the regular monthly meetings, different programs were presented, usually book reviews, literary games and all sorts of interesting things that pertained to work in the library.

The girls are an important link in the smooth running of such a large school of eighteen hundred students. Two girls are on duty in the office during each hour. Their first duty is to collect absent slips from the dif- ferent classrooms, The rest of their time is well taken up with various tasks. Telephone messages from home must be delivered to the students, and announcements are distributed to the classrooms. The lost and found articles are taken care of by the girls. All of the books that are turned in to the office are delivered to the stu- dents if they can be identified. Everyone is familiar with the uncertain feeling on entering a new school. When a new student enters Webster, he does not encounter much difficulty, as the girls in the office readily assist them, The office assistants not only devoted their time and service to the school but were at the same time benefited by their work. They received knowledge and practical experience in the details of office work.

Even aside from this need it was felt that great pleasure could be obtained by learning through travel, radio, and discussion of the Wonderful yet unpublicized civilizations of South America. With the aid of Mr. Ogle a number of enthusiastic students organized this year the Webster Groves Chap- ter. These students were Taylor Boggs, Iohn Bier, lack Daniel, Marybelle Bramhall, Harold Braun, Virginia Anger, and lim Gentles. The meetings ot the whole chap- ter were held monthly, but the main activity centered around a group ot fifteen members, the Pan-American Council, which met weekly to plan the meetings, to carry on activities, and to learn Pan-Americanism, The meme bers ot the Pan-American Council were Iohn Bier, lack Daniel, Harold Braun, Taylor Boggs, Marybelle Bram- hall, Don Miller, Ann Gamble, Fred Berthold, Bob New- man, Virginia Anger, lim Dinsmoor, Bob McKelvey, Dot Culling, Mary Katherine Kremer, and Bill Chapman.

They had contests of a literary nature among themselves at the meetings. Many of their poems were published in the Oak Leaf, a maga- zine published by the Sebago Club. The Scribblers' also had the greatest number of poems read at the poetry festival ot the St. Louis College Club. However, all their activities were not business pur- poses.

Mrs. Chapman, chairman of the Iunior Red Cross in Webster Groves, and Mrs. C. E. Roop, a very active Worker, told this chapter about various activities of the National Red Cross. On November 21, the Red Cross sponsored an assembly, which included moving pictures and a very interesting talk by Mr. Robert Evans, emer- gency director of the American Red Cross. A Thanksgiving project was voted down by the rep- resentatives in order to concentrate all efforts on the Christmas baskets. In this work the school was most generous and cooperative, and many heart-rending let- ters of thanks have been received from benefiting families.

This inspired the rest of the club to climb as quickly as possible to a team position.- The entire club showed remarkable interest and zeal, With the turn ot good weather the squad was whipped into shape by a preliminary match with Principia, which was won by Webster by a top- heavy score. With confidence and form mounting, Coach Cooper's boys on May lst blasted Maplewood out ol the scene without losing a match. After a short rest, another practice match was played with Country Day, whose squad, being already in mid-season form, proved too much tor Webster. However, the club and squad looked forward to an exceedingly successful climax to the year. With the help of such talent as Fred Berthold, lack Landon, Bob Pearson, Bill Hinson, Frank Van Luick, Charles Forsythe, George Dorsett, the tennis organization promised great hopes tor the future.

The great defensive play of the heavily outweighed line of the Statesmen highlighted the game. The McArtormen trounced Cleveland, l9-l3, in their second start. The Carondeleters were swamped by the Orange and Black's newly found offensive power. The Statesmen led at the half, 13-7. Co-captain Pacey passed twice to Devine to put the ball on Cleve- land's thirty-yard line, from where Pacey skirted his own left end for a touchdown. The other two touchdowns were also scored by Pacey on a reverse lateral pass play, Murphy to Goerner to Pacey, and a buck through the line. The following week the Statesmen tackled the Maplewood eleven. The Blue Devils won the tilt, l3-U. Webster came back strongly in the second half to take the meas- ure of U. City, 13-9. The McArtormen were losing, 7-U, at the end of the first half. Fuhrman went over for the first score.

City for the championship of the Big Four teams of the county by walloping Normandy, 20-13. The slow first half ended with the Statesmen on the Viking's three-yard line, first and goal. As the second half started the Mc- Artormen drove the length of the field and scored on a thirty-yard touchdown pass Pacey to Devine. Two more touchdowns were enough to win the exciting conflict. The Orange and Black eleven eked out a l4-13 Verdict over Clayton at the loser's field. ln each half Clayton was first to score with Webster matching the counters both times. Webster made both extra points, Pacey place kicking the first and passing to Winters for the second. Devine's eighty-yard touchdown jaunt was the highlight of the close contest.

Devine again sparked the team to victory, catching one pass for a touchdown and setting up the other score by pulling the mud-covered ball out of the air to put the ball on the Kirk- wood twenty-yard line, from where Pacey scored a play later. The reserve team played seven games, winning two, losing three, and tieing two. They beat Kirkwood, 33-O, lost to Kirkwood, 6-Og tied Kirkwood, 6-65 beat Normandy, 18-Og tied Maplewood, 0-O, lost to Maplewood, 6-U, and were swamped by U. City, 6-0. These boys served as practice dummies for the varsity and rarely worked together in practice which makes their poor record seem insig- nificant. The B team won six games in a row.

Besides these, one minor letter-man, six members of last year's sophomore team, and one newcomer reported after foot- ball. These twelve, along with four non-footballers, comprised the roster for the season. The boys worked hard to get in shape for the first game but two weeks away. After many hard practices and one practice game, the Cooper- men tangled with Soldan on the Webster court. Soldan, making use of their superior experience, trounced the Statesmen, 36-33. The second try proved much more successful. Losing badly at the end of the first half, the Statesmen came back strongly to take the measure of C. B. C., 17-14. The Coopermen advanced to the semi-finals of the Normandy Invitational Tournament during the Christmas Holidays. The first two games the Statesmen captured handily. Ben Blewett bowed, 27-24, and Ritenour was snowed under, 37-32. South Side Catholic took the Statesmen into camp and ousted them from the tourna- ment.

Maplewood, taking advantage of the inexperience of four junior boys, beat Webster by five points, the final score read l7-l2 with Pacey and Quevreaux making ten points between them. The new team revenged an early defeat by subduing U. City 29-19 at the Armory. Bill Hinson, starting his first game, had eight points, but Quevreaux led the scorers with eleven points. Clayton was again trampled by Webster at their own court. The score read 41-28 with Hinson and Pacey in the stellar roles. The next night the Coopermen jumped to an early lead and conquered Kirkwood 33-25. Pacey's twelve points was the standout of the evening. Webster easily took the measure of St. Charles 32-18. Wimp Armstrong led the scorers with nine points. The record for the season stood at fourteen wins and five losses as the Statesmen ended the season with a 32-30 loss to Normandy in the District Tournament. This is a very creditable record for Coach Cooper's first year at Webster.

He gave out uniforms to four major lettermen and six minor lettermen. Monday thirteen senior aspirants showed their wares, and Tuesday twenty-eight juniors were given a chance. Cold weather then interrupted practice until the following Monday when seventy-one sophomores and freshmen reported for tryouts. Last year's team set a last pace for the boys to follow-a record of thirteen wins with only five losses, two no-hit games being hurled, and the leading batters hit well above the coveted 400 mark. On April 13th the Statesmen, behind Sig Langsam's three hit pitching, took an eight inning, 2-l verdict from Chaminade.

Practice was really begun on Mon- day, March 6. Due to the loss of quite a few last year lettermen, Coach Roberts had to build his team around the three returning major-lettermen, Ed Elzemeyer, a hurdler, Iohn Lenzen, a hurdler, and Douglas Maus, a dashman. Besides fifteen minor lettermen the rest of the team was made up of inexperienced boys. Webster played host to Kirkwood with both the senior and junior teams competing. Webster easily came out on top in both classes. The seniors' score read 71-47 and the junior score was 70-39. ln the senior division Gerell, Maus, Brien, Smith, and Conner gathered firsts in the High lump, l00 yard dash, 440 yard dash, Mile run, and 880 yard run, respectively. Lothman won both the Discus and Shot Put, and Lenzen led the field in the 200 yard low hurdles and the 100 yard high. The marks set were fair for the early season, but Bill Conner's 880 yard run time, 2:0923 minutes was really good for the first meet. ln the junior division Kick managed to secure firsts in the 50 Ulmer, Cushing, Goerner, Lenzen, Gerell, Elzemeyer, Hinson, Smith, Short Mr, Roberts, Curry, Owen, Hanford, Pierson, Uthoft, Gustaiason, Fuhrman Kaus Tschannen, Pearson, Carvell, Sears, Lothman, Maus, Hart, Conner Page One Hum r Seventeen Ul'll.OI' Q gcfao 9.41164 and 100 yard dashes, as Hunseaker took the 220, Rodgers the shot put, Colmey, the pole vault.

Between twelve and fourteen players were chosen for each team. The girls practiced with each other to perfect their technique and to plan new plays. Their winning play was the set up. One girl would hit the ball into position for another to hit it over the net more effectively. Webster competed against Ritenour, U. City, Maplewood, and Kirkwood. The seniors won all their games by their excellent team work. The juniors followed their example with the exception of one game which they lost by a small margin. The Webster sophomores were the best team in comparison with other schools. They won all their games by quite a few points. During the games, necessary substitutions were made only at the half. Fifteen girls were chosen for the varsity team. The varsity teams from several schools met in one place for an elimination tourna- ment. The games continued until one team was the winner of the winning teams and another the winner of the consolation tour- nament.

A treasure hunt was given for the new sophomore girls on Saturday morning, October eighteenth. The boundary lines allowed a tive mile radius for the girls to hunt in. The treasure that they all sought was a small Cedar chest with two hundred and fifty brand new pennies in it. This allowed thirty- five cents to each member of the winning group and forty cents to the leader. The annual G. A. A.

At this dance the most popular boy was crowned king ot the campus, attended by the tour boys with the next highest number of votes. Their popularity was determined by a petition and two votings. Each of the boys was escorted to the platform by his escort. The Kampus King entered last and was crowned by the president ot G. A. A, At the end of the year a banquet was held in the lunch room. This was the last time many of the G. A. A. senior girls would be together and so the most important ot the club's events. Speeches were made and awards given to those who had earned them.

At Christmas time, this choir played a large part in the Christmas vesper program, a sacred service which depicted the lirst Christmas in music and pantomime. The service was presented in the soft glow ol candle- light on Sunday, December l8, for the public. Twice the following week the program was repeated for both the upper and lower school. The choir also made a half-hour recording ol their music for Station KXOK which was heard over the air Christmas Day. During the month ot December, the Rotary Club in- vited this group to entertain them with their singing. On Thursday, Ianuary 26, the music for the P. T.

During this same month, the Sunday Evening Club at the Centenary Church asked this choral group to sing at their service. The choir also sang at the St. Louis County Music Festival which was held at University City. On April l3th, the A Cappella members were excused from school to go to Hannibal and sing for the high school assembly there. The welcome received there was most cordial, and the audience was very apprecia- tive. The girls' quartet, composed of choir members, namely, Harriett Lloyd, Vivian Uyeda, Barbara Ramsey and Betty Teach, also rendered several numbers.

The club, which numbered about forty, met daily during the first hour in the band room under the direction of Mr. Biggar. The girls received training in music dictation, key sig- natures, and other principles of music. Also, each girl was required to sing a solo. The clubs activities the last year were varied. They gave a much-appreciated assembly for the lower school, sang at the Old Eolks' Home, and some of the members took part in the Christmas program. Before the end of the year the girls hoped to be able to broadcast over KXOK. At the University City music festival, held the first of April, this organization combined with the beginning glee club and received a very good rating. Some of the songs in the club's repertoire were Drum Major by Langs, 'lWhere'er You Walk by Handel, Music, When Soft Voices Die by Dickinson, and Sleepers, Awake!

The official dress for the girls was very simple. They wore pastel skirts and white shirts. Robin in the Rain and Lullaby by Noble Cain, Snow by Elgar, Song to Bohemia -a folk song, and Cossack Cradle Song were just a few of the numbers the girls worked on. The club sang at the Old Folks' Home in Kirkwood, the Parent-Teachers' Association of the Lockwood School, and caroled during the Christmas season. in cooperation with Mr. Biggar's first hour advanced glee club, this group entered the music festival at Uni- versity City High School the first of April. The two groups also planned a combined program given May 2 in the high school auditorium.

These much needed uniforms finally became a reality because of the hard work of both the mothers of band members and the Webster Chamber of Com- merce. On March 30 the band appeared for the first time before the public in their new uniforms, Besides giving numerous concerts, the band also attended the County and State Music Festivals, where it won the highest rating. lts repertoire comprised a wide and varied selection-from the modern Deep Purple and Donkey Serenade to the powerful Introduction to Act lll of Lohengrin, the William Tell Overture, the Un- finished Symphony, Rosamunde Overture, and the l8l2 Overture. There were a number of small ensembles which gave a program of chamber music at the Monday Club. These included flute, clarinet, baritone, trom- bone, French horn, cornet, and woodwind quartettes, a woodwind quintette, and a brass sextette. An- other significant accomplishment was the performance of the athletics band whose impressive showing will be remembered as a high-light of the football season. Altogether the band has been quite active and has proved itself worthy of the hearty praise it has re- ceived. NINETEENTHIHTY-NINE unior Quad The past year has been a very busy and successful one for the junior band. Besides playing on numerous occasions in Webster Groves and in the junior school assemblies, they participated in the Iunior Music Con- cert, which had a larger attendance than ever before, and gave an assembly program at Maplewood Iunior High. Part of the group was also chosen to take part in a music clinic which was held at Hunleth Music Com- pany. Among the pieces played by the band were Prince and Iester Overture, the lntermezzo Symphonique, and several Bach chorales. Some of the members played with the advanced band and the athletics band in order to fill in the necessary instrumentation. Also, many were given a chance to display their ability in the trumpet, flute, clarinet, brass, and woodwind quartets which were made up of lower school players. A few of the things which were empha- sized to make the students more conscious of the quality of their playing were sectional practices, technique, and solo playing. Along with this came their full band ex- perience in which they have proved themselves capable and industrious workers, Officers HARRY BIEDERMAN President IOHN VICKROY Vice-President DAVID COLMEY Secretary BETTY KOENIG Treasurer Page One Hundred Thirty-three lie gclio oncert Qrchestra Officers BILL ROTH President ENID ELLISON Vice-President TED BRAUN Secretary LYNN BECK Treasurer Page One Hundred Thirty-four The orchestra was handicapped to some extent this year because of its scarcity of violinists. On account of this shortage it did very little concert work-out- side of the annual music concert and the county and state festivals. The string sections took advantage of this fact though, and instead of spending all of their time preparing for some special program, they devoted part of their class time to studying other phases of orchestra Work. Each member was given a chance to practice conducting, learning how to hold the baton correctly and how to beat ZX4, 3f4, 4f4, 6f8 time With a reasonable amount of skill. The orchestra played Beethoven's First Symphony, The Unfinished Symphony, Egmont Overture, and Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral, besides many other light numbers. A selected group furnished the music for several school activities-the May Pete, Coronation, and the Ianuary and Iune graduations. The string quartette performed on the average of once or twice a month, their engagements ranging from weddings to political meetings. The orchestra does more for a student than to merely teach him to read notes, it instills in him the desire for a better understanding and appreciation of music it- Self. NINETEENTHIHTY-NINE unior Cqrclzestra The lower school orchestra has done much to stimulate turther interest in our music department by playing at assemblies in all the grade schools, and, as a result, enthusiasm is created among prospective members be- fore they enter high school. Besides this the orchestra took part in a lower school assembly program, the lun- ior Music Contest, and the Music Festival at University City. lts achievements can be judged by its extensive which included Echoes From Grand Opera, repertoire Tosselli's Serenade, Two Guitars, Petite Suite de Ballet, March Militaire, and the Andante from the Surprise Sym- phony. A few of the more advanced players were given an opportunity to play in the high school orchestra, and they did it remarkably well. There was also a violin quartet organized, which played at the Monday Club, The junior orchestra was composed of sixty pieces and has complete instrumentation, which is unusual in such a young group. According to Mr. Biggar, all the students have displayed very outstanding ability, plus a willingness to work-a desirable combination in any organization. We are looking forward to great things from them in the next few years.

Anyway the School Board said the idea wasn't practical-no provision for carrying all the books a student studies. Dear Editor: Congratulations on your stirring article, The Menace of Termites in W. P. A. Shovel Handles. It disgusted a very important problem of the day. Yours, U. R. A. Bore. Dear Editor: The fascinating series of pictures on Webster High girls in your April 12th issue was superb. Something was wrong with my copy though, the girls were all blurred. I wonder why? Little Alvie. Alvie, there is some fast action not even a camera can stop. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Sirs: Latt is a regular visitor at our house, Have just received your last copy-I hope.

We hope this will will iwell, welll be satisfactory. Yours truly, Brown, Tan, Sepia, and Brown. H-m-m-m-ml That signature looks cz bit shady to us-maybe it's a study in brown. Dear Editor: Enclosed please find my plans for the Stude-a- Pult. The Stude-a-Pult is an improved catapult and can be installed on the front walk of the W. G, H. S. for the convenience of Websters numerous 8:29 ar- rivals. Note its advantages: 1. Directional stabilizer which will throw you down the hall in a predetermined direction. 2.

Dear Editort In the last issue of LAFF Cunfortunately it wasn't the lastl you stated that old 1921 was a kind of winel Now, anybody knows that 1921 was the finest, squarest, toughest, little engine in the rail- road yards. Why, I've known that engine for years, loved it like a father. When I was a baby it gave me safety pins, when I was in school it helped me with my homework, and once when I sat on the fire-box it helped me get upl Naturally I feel hurt when you refuse to let a poor old engine keep up its sell-esteam. I demand a retraction. Don Miller. Dear Don: Sorry, but we're all out of retraction. We used it all up repairing the roadbed between here and Parkmoor. We have attraction, subtraction, cater- pillar tractions, and now that you have written us, we have lots of detraction. Take your choice. Dear Editor: I'm writing you as a last resort. I have tried to get results from everybody in school, and the only person who paid any attention to me was Miss Rep. She said to sit up straight and take the gum out of my mouth. Look, can you do something about the clocks in this school? About once an hour they explode and wake me up. Teachers have tried to explain it by saying that it's the end of the period, but I think that's a pretty poor excuse. Hope you can help me. Sam Oliver.
