K Jgtfmmmfmfzon In the profession of teoohing, there is C1 feeling of duty to others -to the students ond to the corn- inunity. Teoohers give to others knowledge obtoined from yeors of study ond experience, ond our students profit greotly from this tedohing. 's E quill luf, fo Umm WILLARD E. GOSLIN Superintendent of Schools Page Twelve FAQ fill, Democracy is not a commodity, Neither is it a subject to be taught. On the contrary it seems to be a pattern of lite which can be experienced. The school's chief concern lies with the growth and development of each child. The most complete growth can take place, we believe, only in a school atmosphere where significant degrees ot democratic living are available to all concerned. Democratic living in a school consists in providing for each person, pupil, and teacher alike, an oppor- tunity for expression of interests and participation in activities on a level compatible with the maturity oi the individual, This means then that the modern school seeking to contribute to the cause of democracy endeavors to have all individuals meet on a common ground and share an experience of democratic living through the school years. On such an experiential basis young people may establish the habits and gain the understandings necessary for continued participa- tion in a democratic society. inefeen, jorfy Democracy is having its most severe test at the present time. lt is being thrust aside in many parts oi the world and there are some who fear its foundation is weakening in America. Certain ones are demanding more of democracy than ever before and its seeming failure to satisfy these new demands may be the reason it is considered to be in danger. The highest type of government presupposes unsel- lishness on the part of the governed and the greatest good to the greatest number is its slogan. Freedom of thought and speech is essential and must be guarded carefully, but freedom must never become mere license and the elfect oi one's actions on others must be considered. The High School and the Annual are channels through which the principles of democracy may flow. May they ever exert a wholesome influence on the lives of the youth who come in Contact with them. I.

This year the group was composed of four committees--social, financial, ring and invita- tion, and senior day. Each senior conference group elected one representative to each ot these committees. The social committee gave its original Gossip Dance as the first class social event of the year. This com- mittee also made arrangements for the Senior Prom and planned a class picnic. It was the duty of the financial committee to collect the class dues and to make sure that there were suf- Page Forty-six Vice-President Secretary Treasurer ficient funds in the treasury to give the prom and for the parting gift to the school. The ring and invitation committee made arrange- ments for getting all the senior jewelry, had charge of the graduation robes, and picked out three types of invitations for the class to choose from. The final committee, the senior day committee, spent almost the whole year planning Senior Day and was entirely responsible for the Senior Day program. It was the combined action of these tour committees, together with the cooperation of the students of the class, that made this senior class what it was. Winefeen jorfy WHAT A LIFE - FOR BILL!

COMMENCEMENT Two hundred and forty-three seniors received their diplomas at commencement. The crowd was large, the heat terrific, and the talk impressive. Last but not least, diplomas were given to the deserving students. SENIOR PROM The annual farewell dance given by the seniors.

Not content with their high rank in scholarship and athletics they went on to new heights in entertain- ment tor themselves and the school. First came a very successful candy sale followed by their no-date roller skating party at the Arena for the class members only. Then came the sensational dance, the Bombshell Adopting the war theme, the senior girls' gym was decorated with a low trench ceiling, sandbags, a machine gun, and oil tanks placed on either 'de af the orchestra stand. The Canteen provide resh- ments and the high spots of the evening f red two strains of Art Kruth's music. In February the ' started a series of parties to be given monthly or thc blackouts, Between blackouts everyone d cedntf s class only. The first was given as a farewell part for one of the members. Because of its success several others followed to get the class together for a good time.

The officers chosen proved themselves capable in every way in their management of the class, This year's junior class was at the peak of the enroll- ment cycle and is the largest class in the history of the school. The management of such a large group is usually very difficult, but through the hearty coopera- tion of all the students the task was made a lot easier. In October each home room elected two representa- tives to form the social and financial committees. The job of the social committee, which had lim Wright as Page Fifty its chairman, was to choose the dates and the orches- tras for the dances throughout the year, distribute tickets, plan the decorations, and secure the chap- erones. The financial committee, with Taylor Boggs heading it, had the money problem which governed the activities of the social committee. This committee with the class treasurer, Taylor Boggs, decided how much money the class treasury could afford to spend for the social functions. Both these committees were put to work in Ianuary, in order to give the Iunior Blizzard on the thirteenth of that month. The dance was held in the senior girls' o 0 A 0 'U J 0 'ox 'U .'

The decorations, very appropriate with the weather outside, consisted of blue and white strips of crepe paper stretching to the walls and tied on the sides to two covered bicycle wheels, which hung from the ceil- ing. The orchestra was elevated on a platform sur- rounded all around by artificial icicles. The tickets were designed by Edith Cann. The profit of fifteen dollars which the juniors made on this dance was quite gratifying, considering the fact that most of the previous dances of the year had made almost nothing.

The lunior Prom, given annually, as- a farewell to the seniors, was, as in other years, a big success. Only the members of the junior and senior classes were invited to attend.

This was done voluntarily by the students of the various home rooms, as it rneant giving up their early study period The entertainment usually consisted of an orchestra made up of some students of the school. Sometimes it was more or less an amateur show. But in every case it was most enjoyable. These entertain- ments showed the true school spirit of the home room acting as host, in wanting their classmates to enjoy the talents of other students Then, too, these entertain- ments helped to bring the divisions of the large junior class together more intimately. Page Fifty-two One day in an assembly in early February, the seniors challenged the juniors to a game of basketball, to be held on the twenty-first of that month. The juniors accepted the challenge and worked hard in an effort to overthrow the seniors, who won, however, with a score of 26 to 12. Outstanding player was Don Maus. Only those who were not on either the varsity or the class teams were eligible to play The junior coach was Charlie Forsythe. The junior class had many prominent girl athletes.

Alice Paschen held an important position in the Student Council, serving on the assembly com- mittee and other special groups. Page Fifty-tour As the class was in their third year, they had many new subjects, English being the only one required. American history was taken by those who wished to go on in this department. German, Spanish, French, and Latin were continued as were the mathematical sub- jects, algebra III, solid geometry, and high school arithmetic. Other subjects that were open to the 1lB's included physics, dramatics, mechanical drawing, manual training, glee club, instrumental music, com- mercial law, typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, high school geography, clothing, art, foods and physical education. inefeqn cizrfy 3,9 omored Om...

This class has been con- tinually striding forward to show the rest of the school their interest and ability in both educational and social activities. As far as their curricular program goes the only subject required was English. The remainder of the students' program was formed according to the require- ments and of the college or profession he had chosen. In languages the student had the choice of Latin, French, German, or Spanish, in mathematics, the choice of algebra, geometry, or commercial arithmetic. There are also subjects such as biol0gYi modern history, clothing, art, dramatics, foods, glee club, typing, instru- mental music, and physical education. Both boys and girls from this class went in for sports. The boys have shown great interest in both football and basket ball. The president, Don Hilleary, was on the varsity basket ball team and Dan Hundley and Bill Hedges were outstanding players on the B team. When the freshmen challenged them to a basket ball game, they showed their fighting spirit by beating the ninth graders 16-13. The boys of this class also like track and baseball.

The hockey team lost only one of its games and their other teams did just as well. Some of the outstanding girls in athletics were: Pat Gallagher, Frances Kauff- man, Bonnie Lionberger, and Mary K. Richards. The tenth graders gave fine support to the school clubs for which their sophomore rating made them eligible. Many of the girls joined the Pep Club, G. A. A., the Ice Skating Club, the Roller Skating Club, and the Sub Deb Club, while the boys entered into activities such as the Stamp Club, the Rifle Club, and the Soph-Y. Both boys and girls showed interest Page Fifty-six in the Latin, German, French, and Spanish Clubs and also the Pan American League. Early in the year the class gave a successful candy sale and on Valentine's Day they gave an afternoon, no-date dance called Cupid's Birthday Ball. Due to the success of this dance and the candy sale they have not had to collect class dues this year. In order to give as many people as possible a chance to participate in helping put over their plans, each home room was put in charge of a certain project. This helped to bring the class together and is one reason for the success of their ideas. C..

Their new conference teachers were Mrs. Greeson, Mr. Crisp, and Mr. Gall. Many of the class were members of the Iunior Honor Society. The class gave two successful roller skating parties, a picnic at Windsor Springs, and two original plays accompanied by music. Clay Felker showed originality in leading a class swing band, Wilber Oueveraux was prominent in the student council and intra-mural basket ball, and was water boy for the football squad. The class also exhibited its literary ability by having several articles appear in The Challenge. Since English was the only required subject, the l0B's were confronted with a wide variety of elec- tives. Those who wished continued with mathematics, taking geometry or algebra Ill. As in years past, biology proved to be one of the popular electives ol these 10B students. In planning their courses, several mid-sophomores decided to complete high school and be graduated in three and a hall years.

Algebra and English were required while they could elect orchestra, band, glee club, French, Latin, Spanish, German, foods, clothing, business practice, ancient history, social science, and manual training. Patsy Balser was in charge of an afternoon dance sponsored by this class, They made 55.90 over expenses and donated this money to the Red Cross. The dance was a success and a high light in lower school social life. The 9A's decided not to elect officers and so were not organized as a group. They had the original idea of Page Fifty-eight LLOYD LEE DON TIECHMAN IOHN RUSSELL noon dances for the lower school. This suggestion was taken up by the Student Council and was practiced during the last half of the year. Many of these freshmen took active part in school life. Some of them were lower school monitors. These monitors watched for carelessness in the halls and took away much of the disorder. The boys seemed to go in for sports in a big way, even to the extent that they challenged the sophomore boys to a basket ball game. Although they were defeated, they played a good game.

Track also proved to be popular with this class. Home room teams participated in a basket ball tournament for all the lower school. The girls had basket ball, volley-ball, and baseball tournaments between teams selected by captains who are chosen by the girls themselves. Girls may receive their junior W's for outstanding work in junior school athletics, When a girl gets 1000 points she earns this recognition. These points are earned by playing in after school tournaments, taking hikes, going skating, and swimming. This class being unusually large, was divided into five good sized home rooms. At different times these groups had combined programs. Bob Woltering was responsible for one of these. He showed to the pupils some very old silent films in which interesting clothes and ideas of twenty-five years ago were shown. Some of the most outstanding freshmen students are chosen every year to join the National Iunior Honor Society. Membership in the society is based on four points: character, scholarship, leadership, and service. This organization has programs and activities similar to those of the Torch, the High School Honor Society. This is an up and coming class with promise of really helping our school.

Each student, while in the eighth grade, planned his four year course with the help of his parents and by an individual interview with Mr. Verby. In Ianuary this class started on that planned course. Miss Pratt, Mr. Hicks and Mr. Case were the spon- sors oi the three conference groups. Although the mid freshmen elected no class officers, each confer- ence group had active officials. The group showed real school spirit in participating in the lower school student council and the Red Cross. Page Sixty NOOTER RAY SHULTZ The boys did their share by giving the rest of the lower school quintets plenty of stiff competition. Their main activity as a group was a very entertain- ing and successful Christmas party in which all mem- bers took part. The only required subject for the 9B's was English. The two most popular subjects for the class as a whole were algebra and ancient history. Latin, German, Spanish, French, manual training, foods, clothing, busi- ness practice, art, and music presented the students with a wide selection to form the rest of their pro- gram. Those who hadn't already taken general science, took it as one of their elective subjects. inefeen jorfy gin 0 CdLnJaI' of aentd Spring Concert Christmas Parties December 22 Basket Ball Tournament - December 1 to March l Hartnett, Cole, Fisher, Willm, Winfrey, Schindler, Lawson, Yates Minor, Langley, Iohns, Lane, Bedell, Mclieague, Borman, Geidel Schnaedelbach, Kuhn, Beecher, Tillay, Baxter, Hart, Ames, Strudell, Akers Heutel, Wolf, Leonard, Boren, Puffer, Hughes, Moore, Ashcroft, Kriege, Widmer The 8A class consisted of five conference rooms which early began to take a part in scholastic activi- ties, The boys from each conference group battled bravely to secure top honors in the eighth-grade basket ball tournament. There were also several tours narnents among the girls, such as basket ball, ping pong, and volley-ball. In the eighth grade, the student begins to plan his program for senior high school, In the individual con- ference rooms, the teacher confers with the student about what courses he thinks he would like to take. Also each pupil, with the assistance of his parents and 8A Mr. Verby, the guidance adviser, plans a general out- line of the studies he will follow in high school. This type of conference has proved itself to be of great aid to the student in his senior years. All BA students are required to take the following four subjects: English, mathematics, social studies, and general science. There is, however, a choice of sev- eral electives for the students. For those pupils who wish to study Latin, there is a preparatory course which the student must take if he intends to continue Latin. The eighth-graders may also take elementary business, dramatics, orchestra, glee club, art, or manual training.

The class was divided into three conference sections this year in place ot the two former rooms. Officers were elected in each of the groups, Miss Brantley's, Miss Henneke's, and Mr. Leach's. The half-hour conference periods in the mornings were tor the most part used tor studying lessons or reading. Sometimes, however, there were business meetings, or some ot the class members presented a program. These programs usually took place on Page Sixty-two December 22 December 22 Tuesday or Friday, or whenever something ot impor- tance came up. Each conference room had a boys' basket ball team which contended with other conference rooms in an eighth-grade tournament. The girls too played in inter-mural basket ball and volley-ball tournaments. The SB student is given several electives from which he may select one. The boys and girls may take physi- cal training and reading, which are alternate courses. There is also a choice of instrumental music, vocal music, art, or drarnatics. Every student, however, is required to take these four courses: general science, mathematics, social science, and English. inefeen jorfy .SZll8l'LfA Qu 8 CLZLYLJLZI' of glen!!

Although this conference period was used mainly for study, around Christmas time a contest was held between the different rooms to determine the best poem, play, story, and stunt, either Written or acted. The two winning rooms, which proved to be Miss Patrick's and Mrs. Davis's, were entertained with a party by the three losinq rooms. All the conference rooms also had individual Christmas parties, This class was the first to follow the new block system of teaching. The pupils were divided into 7A study groups, having one teacher for library reading, spelling, writing, social science, art appreciation, and English. Mathematics, music, speech, manual training, and physical education, however, were studied under other teachers. One of the study groups, during its course, studied a unit on transportation, worked on and set up exhibits, and invited the parents of its members to a tea and exhibition of their work. Spelling matches were also carried on in and between these groups. The members of this class also took part in several school activities, such as inter-mural sports, Scribblers' Society, and other lower school organizations.

This organization has been in our school for five years. The purpose of the Torch is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimu' late a desire to render services, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of char' acter in students. The constitution recognizes scholar- ship, leadership, character, and service as the most useful qualities to society and therefore most worthy of encouragement. Upon the basis of these twice a year the Faculty selects for membership those students who are in the upper third of llA, IZB, and IZA classes. Page Sixty-six The organization is primarily an honorary one. At the first meeting in the fall it was decided to hold meetings every two weeks on Wednesday afternoons. Inasmuch as the group of the first semester consisted of only nine members, most of the meetings were devoted to informal discussionsg however, in December fifteen additional members were inducted and there- after the meetings were of a more formal nature such as book reviews and speakers. At the end of the first semester an election was held as designated in the constitution, and all new officers were installed. inefeen jorfy omior onor ociefy Owcem FIRST SEMESTER SECOND SEMESTER ALICE BAUMGARTNER - - President BILL GAUNT A - President ROBERT COPELAND - Vice-President BARBARA KELL - - - - Secretary MARIAN ERLANDSON - - Treasurer RUTH SMERCINA - - Vice-President SHIRLEY NATIONS - - Secretary HELEN WEPPLER - - Treasurer Koenig, Schnebelen, Cassidy, Splitstone, Doisy Beesley, Berger, Lee, Gaunt, Fitzgerald, McKelvey, Miller, Chapman, Lishen, Peterson K Rhd Sh Ct'Ald'hB k L'dhtW IS ' UTZ, O BS, C WCITZ, UT In, TIC , TOC Uleyef, In OTS , Epp GF, IHGFCIHG Beiderman, Scott, Sanford, Kraft, Kell, Baumgartner, Copeland, Erlandson, McGee, Dickson Any student who is in the ninth grade and has a B average, and who is voted on and accepted by the faculty as worthy ol membership is invited to join the lunior Honor Society near the beginning oi each semester. This society, established in Webster High in 1930, a year after its national organization, has done much to instill in its members a tendency toward higher scholar- ship, greater leadership, lottier character, and finer service. And, by setting an example, they instill these qualities into the rest of the school. In November the induction ceremony, consisting ot an original program of music and poems, was held in the Little Theater, alter which refreshments were served to the parents. Later, in December, a party was held tor the new initiates. Again in February was another induction. New officers were elected from those who had been initiated the tirst semester. During the year the members have taken complete charge oi the noon-hour study hall, two ot them taking the lirst halt of the period and two others the last half. Also early in the year the members acted as guides for the parents who attended the P. T. A. open house, and occasionally some ot them helped tutor absentees and grade papers.

SCHULZ - The Student Council has mounted in importance for the past several years until this year it has reached a new high in arousing the interest and enthusiasm of the students, This form of government directly expressing the desires and needs of the student body has proven itself very valuable to the entire school. Its purpose, as the constitution states, is to give the students an opportunity for participation in the gov- ernment of their school and to promote co-operation between the pupils and faculty. The activities of the council are many and varied. The year was started out with the successful spon- soring of the activity ticket. Then Student Handbooks were given to three hundred and fifty new students and six hundred more were sold. Following this was the revising of the Student Council Constitution. A much- appreciated and enjoyable project was the sponsoring Page Sixty-eight President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Sponsor of Orange and Black Day and the pep dance and parade before the traditional Kirkwood game. Next the council took on the job of providing entertainment during the halves at basket ball games. Also many of our assemblies were planned by the Student Coun- cil as well as the noon dances given twice a week during bad weather, ln a broader field, this organiza- tion planned and conducted an interesting Student Council convention at which thirteen schools were rep- resented. This constructive program, the form of membership by equal representation from each conference group, and the two main officers being selected by the student body as presidents of both schools and upper school has truly made this council of, by, and for the stu- dents.

Organized five years ago, the Monitors have continued to exert their stabilizing influence to keep order in the Lower School. The main purpose of this group is to prevent run- ning, pushing, and similar disorders in the halls before school, at noon, and after school and thus make it safe for the some nine hundred students of the Lower School. This year the system worked out very well. Two shifts of thirteen boys each kept order in the lunch l room on alternate weeks. During the latter part of the noon hour, a shift of thirty boys kept the corridors from becoming places of bedlam and coniusiong these shifts also changed every week. The final group, the line- men, were the only ones who never alternated. These twenty-six boys had the duty of making it both possible and sale to travel through the halls while going to lunch and after school. When an offender was reported by a Monitor, the clerks reported his name to his conference teacher and the violator received a seventh hour. Page Sixty-nine Ula LA me .ynfernafionczj Qui!! cm Sm!

This might be attributed to the fact that seven three-act plays were given this year by the advanced classes. At these initi- ations the initiates had to give some example of their ingenuity and ability by a recitation or piece oi acting. No regular meetings were held except to elect officers since the primary purpose of the organization is hon- orary, and is neither secret nor social.

Without the individual and whole-hearted co-operation of each member of this group, the reputation of which Web- ster's dramatic department is so proud could not be upheld. Under the supervision of Walter Zemitzch, the stage director and a Webster alumnus, the stage crew plans and builds all the attractive sets for which our school is noted. When built, these sets must be properly lighted by a complicated system to obtain the best effect. lt is the duty of the business manager to write all the necessary letters and keep track of all the money while the house managers must keep an accu- rate account of door receipts and check carefully on the number of tickets sold in order to distribute audi- ences evenly and avoid overcrowding. No show can be put over without publicity and by sending out post- cards and placing posters in various places around the town as Well as the fine support given by St. Louis newspapers this publicity is supplied. Properties too are important items, and the job of creating or collecting all the necessary props and seeing that they are re- turned is entirely in the hands of the property man- ager. Over the entire staff is the stage manager whose responsibility it is to check with each individual and see that all of the workers complete their assignments on time.

Eagerly devouring every word on the paper, most readers did not stop to consider the great amount of effort spent by the mem- bers of the staff to put out a weekly edition of the Echo. Three different kinds of articles had to be written- news, sports, and features. Upon receiving their assign- ments, the reporters covered the activities and com- posed their articles. These were read by the editors, typed and copyread. When all the articles were writ- Page Seventy-four ten, they were sent to the printer, who made them into galleys, from which the dummy of the paper was arranged. This final arrangement was once again checked by the proof readers before going back to the printer to be set up in this form. After being given its final proofing, the paper actually went to press. Two other departments, aside from the editorial staff, were essential for the paper's production-the advertising staff and the circulation department. The former was responsible for getting twenty-four inches of advertising for each edition, the latter had to see that every subscriber received his Echo promptly. inefeen Zvi?

Among other duties the editor and associate editor outlined the book and planned the di- visionsg wrote the dedication, foreword, and division headings, and had charge of the Administration sec- tion. The other editors took care of the copy in the separate divisions. The work of the business staff was the financing of the book, which they did through advertising, giving of benefits, and selling of candy at all home athletic games. By offering a prize to the student making the most sales, the sale of Turkey Day buttons was greatly increased. Later on there was a magic show with Hendricks, the magician, presenting a return engage- ment from last year. In the spring the Echo sponsored the crowning of the Echo Queen, and the annual ama- teur show. Last fall the circulation staff sold subscrip- tions to the book, and throughout the year collected payments on it. Besides the essential work on the Annual there is lots of fun, There were several surprise birthday parties and a Christmas party with presents for everyone.

The Rifle Club has its own rifles, but each member was assessed fifteen cents per week, for which he could shoot twenty-five rounds of ammunition. Membership in the club cost two dollarsg this covered the cost of new guns, shooting coats, scopes, targets, extra ammunition, and membership in the National Rifle Association and the Greater St. Louis Rifle League. From the fifty-three members, one six-man team was chosen to represent Webster in matches with other schools. This year the team had only a fair record. It finished in sixth place in a league of ten teams, winning three matches and losing six. They were recompensed for this, however, for at a banquet given by the Greater St. Louis Rifle Association, the Webster Groves Rifle Team was chosen as the group which showed the most improvement over last year. A plaque was presented to each boy on the team. Be- sides this Gene Christman and lim Gentles both received medals for their excellent shooting in the Greater St. Louis Rifle League tournament.

It had a surprising membership of about eighty-tive at the beginning of the year. The club was so large that it had to be divided into special groups, or councils, Leaders for each council were elected separately, and each one carried on its own programs by itself. At the head ol the club was a grand council of fifteen, which more or less guided the programs ol the rest of the club. Sometimes these programs consisted ol a talk by an Page Eighty outsider who had been to these countries or knew something of importance about them. Sometimes it was an informal educational discussion among the members themselves as they compared ideas, and sometimes it was a report given by one of the mem- bers who had made a special study ot some point of interest. Always at the conclusion of the business meeting was held a social, one at which refreshments were served. Although there was very little inter-council activity, several meetings were called in order that elections to the grand council, revisions in the constitution, etc., could be made. Since the club is still in its infanc trouble will be increased manyfold.

The study of Mexican, and Central and South Amer- ican countries proved more and more absorbing as the year progressed. It is hoped that through a study of their life and customs throughout the schools oi the United States, a better mutual understanding will be built up between the separate countries. There is a general belief that in any future times of war or world stress, it these countries can be united in thought, purpose, and understanding, their chances of evading activities of the club were enjoyably and successfully directed. April 14 is known all over the country as Pan-Amer- ican day. At Webster High, for a week attention was given over to the organization in order to stress upon the minds of the students the importance and signifi- cance of the movement. An assembly was held in which the members par- ticipated, giving several illustrations of the life and history of those lands to the south of us.

It was decided to limit the member- ship to forty people so that the club would not be unwieldy. Also two unexcused absences dropped a member from the roll, and he could join again only through initiation and repayment of dues. For initiation the prospective members formed groups and gave skits in French of well-known nursery rhymes. Then they learned the club song and received little paper French flags. Page Eighty-two Sponsor During the year the club took two trips to the Art Museum where they studied French architecture, fur- niture, and paintings. At other meetings there were speakers who talked of their trips to France. One showed moving pictures which she had taken while in Europe. Another speaker was Madame Roux, a Frenchwoman, who spoke in her native tongue to the club about her life in France when she was a girl. Plays, parties, and picnics fur- nished the programs for other meetings. All of the meetings were carried on in French as much as possible, and minutes were written in French. inefeen jorfy a .SQMML lfbfanfe OMCBFJ MARIAN MORRIS Editor BETTY IO CONZELMAN Assistant Editor GLORIA STEIN Business Manager MISS WOODS Sponsor Pierson, Grossenheider, Woodard, Hutton, Hansen, Tait Allen, Meyers, Langstaft, Chase, Borman, Ewen, Flood, Gautier, Smercina Davis, Chora, Richardson, Stein, Morris, Conzelman, Pold, Wood, Sanford The French paper, La Feuille Volante, has been in circulation for only five years, yet it has already progressed from a one-page issue to a three-page one. Written entirely in French, it is put out once a month by an able staff of twenty-two, headed by Marion Morris, and is sponsored by Miss Sadie lane Woods. An appropriate heading, representing a scene typical of the season, appears at the top of the first page of each issue. The remainder of the first page and the second page are devoted to articles concerning events of the month or important facts about French customs and ways of living, while the third page is given over to a French cross-word puzzle and several jokes. After translating and discussing the jokes, the students are never quite certain just how funny they were. The job of putting the paper out is handled by some of the French students. Miss Woods and the editor first choose suitable articles for the issue which are assigned to the reporters to prepare. After the mate- rial is corrected and typed, it is mimeographed.

The outstanding speakers of the year were Mr. Hixson, who told of his summer tour, and Tom Curtis, a former Latin Club member, who told many interesting facts about Latin and Greek. At the Halloween meeting, when charades were given by each class, fortissime, dramatized by the Caesar I class, brought many laughs and won the prize. However, the Cicero I class carried off both first and second awards in the vocabulary match. A Page Eighty-four Consul Secundus Aedile Quaestor Sponsor Professor Quiz program and an amateur hour dis- playing the club's talent also proved very amusing. Special Latin programs were presented by each section of the club. The Vergil students told stories of myths, the Cicero students debated life imprison- ment or the death penalty for the Catilinerian con- spiratorsg the Caesar students presented an original play. The Vergil class's parody, Very Tragical Mirth, climaxed the year's programs. Two parties were given during the year-the annual Christmas party and the final banquet in Iune. Following its customs of many years, the club col- lected a Christmas charity fund. This year forty dol- lars was collected and sent to the Farmington orphan- age. 77 inefeen .iffy Oflafinow amor 52, f IUDITI-I LEE ------ - Editor GLORIA BADER and ELEANOR STRAUB - Associate Editors WILLIAM CONNER - - Art Editor MARCELLA REINHARDT Typist MISS FARMER - Sponsor Sanford, B.

Meanwhile the art editor had drawn and copied on the top of the first page stencil a heading typical of Roman doings during the month of publication. When the cross-word puzzle editor had composed a super-special brain twister, this was copied in one corner of the back page. After all this had been completed, the editors laid out the plans for the pages, The typist, on whom everything depended in the end, pecked valiantly away on the stencils, and the commercial classes ran off the mimeographed sheets.

The German Club this year was completely re- organized by the nine olcl members from last year, who drew up a new constitution. They elected officers and then planned the initiation ot the new members. As part of the ceremony they all signed pledges. Later there were games and refreshments. The requirements to join the club were that a student had to have taken one year of German, and have a certain average. Later this requirement was modified somewhat so that first-year students could join. After he had become a member, he had to pay dues on time and could have no more than two unexcused absences. Meetings were held on alternating 'Tuesdays throughout the year. For some of the programs of the meetings there were speakers who talked on Germany and moving pictures of life in Germany. One oi the main activities of the club was the spon- soring ot their paper, Die Deutsche Post. The paper, published irregularly and written entirely in German, printed news ot interest and importance to the students. In February the club held another initiation, at which time tive reels of motion pictures on Germany were shown. Late in the spring there was a picnic for all members.

Any medium for which equipment is available may be selected. Art Club meetings are held every Wednes- day and last as long as the students wish to remain. The programs at these gatherings are often impromptu Page Eighty-eight and very varied. During the year several trips were made to the Art Museum for study. On various occa- sions models were brought in or the club turned to outdoor sketching. Dr. Colgate honored the members with an interesting talk on heraldry one Wednesday. The social activities for the year consisted of invita- tions extended to several clubs to attend one of the Art Club meetings and also a spring picnic where the club combined their work with good food and games.

The purpose ot these clubs was to improve the playing ability ot the members so that they might compete with other schools. In the mixed group the membership was limited to twenty-tive players, because there were only three courts on which to play. Meetings were held every Monday night, and each player had to bring his own racquet. After several practice sessions the sponsor and club president made out a list which rated the members according to the practice records. The players, in trying to work to the top, challenged the one above them on the list. It the challenger won, the players exchanged placesg it not, the positions re- mained the same, In the spring several matches were arranged with other schools.

In recent years, because of the large numbers seeking membership, the club was divided into two groups-the active and associate members. Since there could be only fifty active members it was decided that at the first meeting in the fall these would be selected by giving preference to previous members and seniors, and then by drawing names. The remaining names were put on the asso- ciate and waiting lists in the order in which they were drawn. To remain active the requirements were Page Ninety Treasurer that a member had to ride once every month, pay his dues, and not miss two meetings in succession. Failure to fulfill these obligations dropped him to the end of the associate list, and only by paying a small fee could he be reinstated to full membership.

Most of the trophies tor this show were donated by the parents of the members of the club who have always taken an active interest in the club and its activities. Of the social activities probably one of the most outstanding was the annual Christmas brealffast ride.

Meetings were held rather irregularly, because there was little need ot them since the girls went skating on Wednesday nights. To stay in the club it was required that a member should go skating once every month, to work for points toward a W in Girls' Athletic Association, she must go twice every month. At the beginning of the year there were about sev- enty-five girls in the club, but many were dropped out later on because of demerits. lt is the job of the secretary to check and see that each girl fulfills the requirements. After being dropped a girl was given the chance of being reinstated by going skating a certain number of times to make up her demerits. To end a successful year that had been fun for all, the club had a banquet. This organization plans to continue their activities next year under the able leadership ot the new officers elected this spring.

For- merly it was called the Yellow Iackets, but last year the name was changed to Pep Club. ln the last few years the membership has increased to one hundred and twenty girls. The requirements for membership in this organization are that the girl be at least a :sophomore and interested in athletics enough to attend all home games possible. When a girl Wanted to Join, she signed up and became a pledge. lt was then necessary lor her to be on probation lor one Page Ninety-tour semester, which meant that she had to attend meetings as a regular member did, and Wear a white shirt with an orange emblem on the days that the Pep Club members wore their jackets, li at the end of the semester the pledge was in good standing without any demerits against her, she was entitled to become a regular member and wear the official jacket. This system assured the club of having only those girls most interested in athletics and in co-operating with the club. A member of the Pep Club was required to attend all ot the home football games, two-thirds of the home inefeen jorfy 8,9 dew' QZLZJQM AUDREY ANDERSON IEANBURL DORSEY VIRGINIA MATTOX Broaddus, Conn, Campbell Coon, Anderson, Coffman, A.

Also the girls had to wear their black jackets on the days before and at each football and basket ball game, but they didnt have to wear them in the spring because of the warm Weather. lf a girl failed to fulfill one of these rules, a demerit was given, if she had three demerits, she was automatically dropped from the club. As a result of the large membership it was difficult to check every girl and see that she attended the games and Wore her jacket at all required times. To aid the secretary in doing this, the girls were divided into groups with one girl as the checker, Each girl then reported to her own checker to see that she got credit for Wearing her jacket. A different system of checking attendance at the games was used. ln- stead of reporting to a certain group checker at the game, each girl signed her name on a slip of paper which was collected at the gate. Although election of officers usually takes place in the spring, this was neglected this year. At the first meeting last fall the officers for the year were elected.

Last tall it was decided that new megaphones ought to be bought for the cheer leaders since the old ones Page Ninety-six VIRGINIA SUMMA GLORIA WESSEL PATRICIA WOLF not only looked very unattractive, but also weren't ot much use because ot their condition. To make money to buy these, members sold orange and black felt pennants and paper pennant stickers, These helped very much in promoting school spirit and in financing the new megaphones which were used for the first time at the Thanksgiving Day game at Kirkwood. During the basket ball season a large orange and black sign with Pep Club printed on it designated the section of the bleachers where the members sat for organized cheering.

It is with this in mind that the Hi-Y has carried out its numerous civil, educational, and social activities throughout its history in this school, This year the work ot the club was divided into several different committees. If not the most important, at least the most popular of these was the social com- mittee. This committee enlivened the social life of the school with a hay ride and two original dances. One of these dances was a Friendship Dance given in co- operation with the Hi-Y group ot Kirkwood High. The evenings festivities were climaxed by the crowning ot two queens, one from each school. This joint dance provided a splendid example of the tact that good- fellowship and sportsmanship are the basis ot the Hi-Y movement. The social activities ot the club never- theless served a definite purpose other than those ot making money and enlivening the social calendar ot the school. It is felt that one of the greatest benefits to be derived from these events is the feeling ot good- tellowship and fraternity created through them. The Program Committee secured many exceptionally good programs for the weekly meetings.

The Social Welfare Committee was the committee that carried on the work that is considered fundamental in the Hi-Y movement. The committee's functions of the past year were numerous. They raised and gave money to the school to aid those students who found themselves unable to meet the financial responsibilities that were demanded of them. Drives were carried on during the meetings to obtain money to purchase food and clothing for the needy in Webster. Each year this Page Ninety-eight committee selects a number of fellows to help the YMCA with their annual drive for funds. These boys go to different churches to ask that, when solicitors come to them, people give them a friendly hearing. Another committee was necessary for the direction and guidance of the I-Y and the Soph-Y, the junior branches of the Hi-Y. The purpose and activities of all these groups are essentially the same, the only difference being in the age of the members. Because of their inexperience, these younger members needed auidance and help in running their organizations.

A final committee, while seeming to be very in- significant, in reality was very vital to the success of the club's activities-the telephone committee. It was the duty of this committee to contact each mem- ber before every meeting and also when there was some special message to be given. - The club accomplished several things worthy of note during the past year. Foremost of these was the acquiring of an office, similar to those of the Echo and the Annual, to act as a headquarters for the execu- tives and a place to file records. This is a great advance for the club, for with an office right in the school, the officers can at any time lay their hands on any records or information that they might need. The correspondence of the club can also be carried on from this office. V A final event of importance was ,the Fiftieth Anni- versary Breakfast held on March 3 for all Hi-Y fellows in the St. Louis region. This breakfast launched a citizenship drive, in which the Webster High club was the outstanding group, 1 Page Ninety-nine O12 Pdf? ,Saw We ECA Hull, Iennmgs, Wentworth, Bardenheier, Busch, Akers, Strudell, Wilson, Ockrassa Trumbo, Lodewycks, Rogers, Driy, Van Hook, Miss Allen Langton, Menke, Smith, Wolverson, Ewen Omtiefzf MAC HULL MARY FRANCES DEAN MISS ALLEN - Through the hearty co-operation and sincere devo- tion of each member of this organization every student and member of the faculty in our school is benefited, It is formed by students who volunteer to help Miss Allen in the work carried on in our high school library with skill and efficiency. Checking books and periodicals in and out, keeping them in proper order on the shelves, repairing dam- aged books, collecting fines, keeping the card catalog up-to-date, and arranging the attractive exhibits in the study hall trophy case are among the invaluable services rendered so willingly by the Library Staff un- der the direction of their capable supervisor, Miss Allen. Page One Hundred President Secretary-Treasurer Sponsor Headed this year by Mac Hull as their president the staff has had regular meetings on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month. At these pleasant and interesting gatherings informal discussions are held concerning the plans and needs of the library. This is followed by a social period which is usually made up of library games. This part of the meeting proves to be not only amusing, but also rich with a literary knowledge not likely to be gained in other ways. Aside from their great service to the entire school, the staff members are offered much practical knowledge by their experience and instruction. 77 inefeen .iffy omior lg 6045 CeI'5 IACQUELINE BALSER - President IOHN WATTS Treasurer MISS PRIEUR AND MISS ALLEN - Sponsors Hunt, Trumbo, Campbell, Shindler, Gaston, Blanner, Stein, Wright, Garner Flint, Sanford, Lioberger, West, Winfrey, Maus, Christman, Cushing, Miss Allen Deitz, Gray, Darnal , Bush, Balser, Watts, Leinberger, Brown, Wolf, Herman As usual, the Red Cross started off this year with their membership drive by selling membership but- tons, approximately 5O0 oi them. Next their work was to till boxes of presents tor needy children of foreign lands. Many toys were sent, as well as other articles--necessary ones-such as soap, toothbrushes, pencils, matches, etc., which are always greatly appreciated by those in need. The greatest service of all, perhaps, is the Christ- mas work done each year by the Red Cross. Baskets oi food, clothing, and some luxuries, given by the students, are sent to needy families. This year the baskets were many in number and generous in size. As for those families who received them, their feelings toward all that the Red Cross symbolizes can best be told in this quotation from one of the letters of thanks: Yours is a truly magnanimous work, for you labor without thought of recompense other than the knowl- edge ot having contributed to the happiness of some- one who needed a helping hand. No one can do more. Later on a drive was held for the collection of tin- loil from candy and gum wrappers, toothpaste tubes, and food coverings, in order to raise money for other work.

In the early fall the Scribblers' had a hay ride which was a great success, A big Halloween party and an interesting St. Valentines party afforded fun for the organization. This writing club was organized in 1935 by five eighth grade girls, Virginia Mattox, Marcella Rein- hardt, Marianna Taussig, Pat Wolf, graduating seniors, and Doris Press, a graduate of last Iune.

This is one of the newer organizations of the school, being organized only last year. The chief objective is to help girls solve prolo- lems of everyday living which are not reached by academic courses, Membership is open to any girl in senior high school. Meetings are held every two weeks on Friday in the living room of the Home Economics Department under the sponsorship of Miss Prieur. The program which follows the short business meeting is always very interesting. lt hinges on some phase of personal improvement in which personalities are discussed, personality tests are taken, demonstrations on the care of skin and hair are given, and the use of cosmetics is discussed. Some programs are devoted to a discussion of social conduct. The Sub-Debs vary meetings by having a social meeting every now and then at which there is no business discussed, and refreshments are served during this kind of meeting. The Sub-Debs have given two candy sales to pay for the club's annual picture. Before the holidays the club had a successful Christmas party.

Although no students below the tenth grade can be regular members of the Echo Paper staff, the Press Club helps to prepare them for newspaper work, and gives them a chance to contribute articles to the paper. ln this way news which is of interest and which might be overlooked by upper school reporters is gathered and written by a Press Club member. It serves to give the lower school activities publicity and importance in the news. These young potential writers meet on every Tues- Page One Hundred Four day after the Echo comes out, discuss writing tech- nique, and occasionally invite a member of the Echo staff to speak to them. All told there were approximately forty participants in the club this year, but only twenty-one really active members who contributed articles to the Echo. Among those regular articles furnished by the club was the lower schools part of the Echo's feature page, written entirely by the club members. Toward the end ot the year they had an outdoor picnic as a climax to their year of hard work.

The jobs are voluntary and many girls apply every year to assist during their study hours. Only about four or five helpers are needed for each period so that the group has to be greatly narrowed down. From the applicants only the most capable and trustworthy girls are chosen, therefore it is con- sidered quite an honor to obtain one of these positions. The duties of the office assistants vary somewhat. They collect the attendance slips every hour, deliver any necessary personal messages, take care of much of the filing and alphabetizing that must be done in the office, and carry around daily and special an- nouncements to every room in the school. Not only is their efficient Work to be commended, but also their Willing and helpful attitude to be recognized and appreciated. The office assistants are selected, supervised, and instructed by Miss Marshall and Miss Ridgway, To these two is owed much of the credit and efficiency of this organization.

This program was given for the parents and was a good opportunity for them to meet one another. After the choral numbers, cider and doughnuts were served. The choir had several engagements during the year. They sang at the Masonic Home, a Boy Scout dinner, a Cub Scout dinner, and at the vesper services at Christmas time. The choir was a great contributing factor to the success of the services. ln March the choirs, both advanced and beginning, worked on the operetta, The Firefly, The leads were given for the most part to members of the advanced choir, and everyone worked hard and had lots of fun putting on the operetta, Although The Firefly was the most difficult operetta Webster ever attempted, it was quite successful.

Because of a shortage in the string section, advanced students in the lower school orchestra played in the concert orchestra. The first event this spring was the concert in April. This concert was given for two reasons-as a test of the ability of the students and as a means to raise money for their concert tour in May. For one or two years the members of the orchestra have dreamed of the day when they would be able to make such a trip. This year they were excused from school one day and played three programs. Among Page One Hundred Twelve President Secretary Treasurer their several numbers, the orchestra played a Wagner's Concerto in G minor, Mary Ellen Verheyden was soloist, This is the first piano concerto ever attempted by the orchestra. This year, as in previous years, the orchestra took part in the music festivals at University City and Columbia, Missouri. In May the orchestra gave their annual combined concert with the band. Besides these main events, selected members of the orchestra furnished music ior several school events- the Coronation, operetta, May-fete, and the gradua- tions.

It is during the years in the lower school that students get their fundamental training and practice. The big event of the year was the concert given by the band and orchestra on March 8. The orchestra played three numbers: A Festive Procession, by Darn- erestg S'laute D'Amour, by Elgar, and Grand Opera Selections. The latter had short selections from such operas as Lohengrin, Martha, Tannhaeuser, and Fauit. The other spring event was the music festival at University City. The orchestra took part in that, as they have lor several years. Some ot the more advanced students played with the senior concert orchestra. It is encouraging to know that there is so much talent coming up to take the place of the members who graduate. The lower school orchestra is composed of sixty pieces and is fully orchestrated. It isn't every school that can say that for such a young group. Mr. Biggar said the thing that pleased him most was that the students were always so willing and eager to work. This is essential in any organization, and everyone looks forward to greater things by this group. Page One Hundred Thirteen SAM! gan!

The team was well backed by the return of six of last year's lettermen. These boys were hard to beat last year, losing only one match, and this year they proved even harder. Al Richardson, who was an outstanding member of the Iunior team, also joined the squad. The Statesmen had a hard schedule. They met Country Day, Principia, Maplewood, Normandy, Kirk- wood, University City, and Clayton during the season. The tennis team was chosen from members of the boys' tennis club. Coach Cooper chose ten boys to make up a ladder. In order to advance on the ladder, one had to defeat the player in the position above him. Anybody who wanted to be placed in the lad- der had to defeat the number ten man and take his place. This system kept the team members working hard all the time to keep their position on the team.

Against Maplewood they weren't so lucky for the over- time ended in a tie. All in all the season was a very successful one. The sophomores won two and tied one of their games.

Some ot the names drew byes in the first round. In this way everybody played at least two matches in which the best two out of three sets deter- mined the winner. Because of unpredictable weather the tournament got oft to a rather slow startg but as it grew nicer, some progress was made. From the results of this tournament and some extra practices a team was chosen to represent Webster against some of the other schools. The desire for a place on the team inspired the members of the club to practice dili- gently for their tournament games. Remarkable inter- est and zeal was shown by the entire club. There were matches with Clayton, with University City on May 9th, with Maplewood on May 10th, and with Normandy on May l4th. Webster also partici- pated in the invitational tournament in both singles and doubles held on the Fontbonne College courts May 24th and 25th. Cups were awarded to the win- ning teams.

All after-school tournaments and all class teams were under the spon- sorship of the G, A. A. The first activity for the year 1939-40 was the sopho- more rush party. This year the party carried out the idea of a Show Boat party. Shuffleboard, lower the anchor, and captain's table were typical of the games played, Soon the G. A. A. engaged in a few money-making activities. There was the candy sale. Each girl was supposed to bring one batch of home-made candy or Page One Hundred Thirty-two pay twenty cents. And, also, hot dogs were sold at all home football games. In the latter part of November a rummage sale was given at the Negro Baptist church on Kirkham Avenue. The basket ball season did not escape the G. A. A. when it came to money-making. Orange and black pencils with the basket ball sched- ule on them were sold by all G. A. A, members. On Ianuary fourth a tea was given in the teachers' lunch room. The G. A. A. had as its guest one of the first presidents of G. A. A., Mrs. lames McMillan. She gave or talk on the G. A.

It was a tournament consisting ot shuffleboard, box hockey, and aerial darts. The idea ot having a club scrapbook was readily accepted and Betty Hiatt and Betty Lou Thomas were appointed to keep it tor this year. In April there were two important club activities. The annual benefit show at the Ozark Theatre was given April ninth and tenth. On April twentieth came the G. A. A. backward dance, This year, as in the past two years, the boy chosen by popular vote ot the girls was crowned Kampus King. The King had in his court tour other boys chosen by popular vote. May eighteenth was the date ot the annual May Pete, whose theme this year was an English Garden party. There were six or seven dances dedicated to Her Majesty, The May Queen. To end the year a banquet was held in the lunch room. Amid speeches and awards the graduating seniors said goodbye to the Webster chapter ot the Girls' Athletic Association.

Between Eighteenth and Nineteenth on Chestnut Street THE PROF'S NEW DISCOVERY Dr. H. Iackson Daniel recently discovered a very remarkable cure for the love-lorn in Webster Graves Sanitarium. Dr. Daniel, one of this generations most prominent doctors, has been working for months on his remark- able cure. Using the poor sufferers in the Webster Graves Sanitarium as subjects he found many out- standing reactions. For instance a young girl suf- ferer needed a double dose of his unconceivable serum. On the other hand for a suffering young lad Dr. Daniel used only one-half the amount to make up his serum. Therefore Dr. Daniel arrived at the conclusion that young girls linger longer than young boys when once in the grasp of this horrible disease. The girls needed the stronger dose in order to be torn away from old ties. The proportions of Dr. Daniel's serum are as follows: Three forward dates well heated and three backward dates brought to a boil. Stir well and add a pinch of sofas by the fire-side. After the use of this serum Dr. Daniel advanced the theory that it would be unnecessary and impossible to remain a love-lorned victim for any length of time. SPRING FANTASY ln the spring a young man's fancy turns to- a crew cut. No matter what year it is, what month, what week, what day, what hour, what minute, or what second, if the season is spring, then mothers and girls beware! The warm weather stimulates the desire for the brutes to show their independence causing an epidemic of hair cuts. Zip-barber chairs are filled immediately after school. Clip, clip, and snip, snip, little piles of once treasured curls f?l decorate the floor. Alas, the head is aeriated. Lambie pie Calias Torpedo at schooll skips merrily along his way and notices that he scares all the little brothers and sisters out of their ll might be so bold to say- half l wits. The fas- cination or whatever it is dies away when rnanny and pappy stop jumping at their unsightly child. Affairs at home return to a natural status. THE TYPICAL REVIEW Professor Dames Dennings review of Cobert Rawford's commercial art display: Blab-blab-blabl No, she has plenty ofg I mean. Well, you know. No, not that. Yes, that's right. Now, don't get the wrong idea. No-you'll never know. ln other words he didn't see the display. GRISH'S MYSTERY WOMAN Mr. Charles Grisham, producer and director of the famous Grisham Follies, starring Greasy Grish's Glamour Gals, has recently made a remarkable discovery in the entertainment world. Her identity has not been revealed as yet, but Mr, Grisham stated in a recent interview that she would be featured in his new show, Sorority Sousa. Grish and his star have been seen together at all the night spots lately, and it is rumored that their friendship had its beginning in a high school romance. The only clues to the name of this beau- tiful creature are the hints dropped by Grisham himself when he was heard calling her Frousy and Taus. A name is certainly the only thing lacking in this girl, and all theatre goers are anxiously awaiting the opening of the show at The Gay in the near future. LEISURE LUNCHES Oh, for the good old days when eyes were blackened and seventh hours given, stools snatched, and lunches dumped on the floor. Gulp, gulp, going down, fthat was lunchl and pangs of indi- gestion were suffered. When in a hurry, the student squeezed in line and then felt the strong arm of the law and heard either To the end of the 1ine or Take a seventh hour, please! All this is past, and peace and quiet reign. The students walk tranquilly along with long, gloomy faces. They are lonesome for the hussel and bussel of the old-not the quiet loneliness of the new. NOVEL CORONATION The Echo Annual plans to give a new type of coronation next year. The court will jitter-bug down the isle to the music of the most popular swing band in the country. tThe Annual staff sent for a Get Rich Quick plctn.l Then the special maids and escorts will do the Boomps-a-Daisy across the stage. The special maids will consist of the six girls in the senior class with the biggest feet. Escorts must absolutely wear orange and black checked trousers fpatriotic souls, anywayll and purple shirts. Green gabardine coats and red neck- ties will complete this Eskie attire. The girls who make up the court have a choice between red and black satin for their shorts and halters.

THE TATTLER THE KIDDIE'S KOLUMN Gather around now, my chubby cherubs, cmd l'll tell you about Wormy Squirmy, the piece of fuzz. Seel Once upon a yesterday there lived a little piece of fuzz in a teacher's pocket. Now this teacher's name was Mr. Settle. He taught the kids all differ- ent kinds of arithmetic and every sixth hour he had the screwiest class-I don't think they learned any- thing but nonsense. Now let's get back to Wormy Squirmyl lt was awfully dark in that big pocket, and this little piece of fuzz was ambitious: so after a long and trying campaign one day, Wormy Squirrny managed to get caught on a hang nail on Mr. Settle's middle finger as he reached into the dark depths for his keys. When Mr. Settle took his hand out of his pocket and saw Wormy Squirmy, he was horrified. A lot of those silly sixth hour students were standing by his desk though, and he couldn't belittle himself in front of that bunch of dimwits, so he decided to be brave in the face of the situation. Trying to seem nonchalant and still achieve his purpose, he shook his hand with great vigor. Wormy Squirmy clung to that hanq nail for dear life. The greedy students just stood and laughed fiendishly, waiting for him to tumble down, down, down to a terrible death on the cold, hard floor below. Note: What will be the fate of poor Wormy Squirmy? Read this column tomorrow feven tho' it'1l be the same as it is todayt. IN THE LIMELIGHT Flash! Shady Beach, Florida. Poe Ieterson wore his bathing suit to a night club last night. Poe Ieterson is visiting Shady-beach from Door Springs, Missouri. Last night he escorted Miss Cally Sonrad to the Save Your Money night club garbed in plaid satin trunks. Severe shock was suffered by all the men, women, and children who were enjoying the quietude of the club, even forcing several parties to leave. It seems that Mr. Ieterson acquired the habit of dressing unfitly for the occasion back in his high school days. When he was a Senior in Webster Groves High School several of his friends paid him 553.50 to wear his Tuxedo to school. tHe had one then, you know.t NEW SEVENTH HOUR PLAN A new arrangement has been made for the seventh hour, that delightful social gathering after school, to make it more enjoyable for the participants. In the first place, students participating in this indoor sport will be excused from part of sixth hour-to give them ample time for trips to lockers and meeting friends. At three the door will open and weeds will be assed out to members as they enter. Lon termers are allotted two oi these and given other special privileges, such as an egg in their beer. Swing music, naturally disliked by the popu- lus, will be torced upon them, Ot course, no one can talk to the inmates except friends, relatives, disinterested by- standers, etc. NO TEACHERSII The plan is still in the formulative stage and has not been presented to the office.
