Scholarship may be acquired in the class, but many traits, equally as valuable, must be ac- quired outside the schoolrcom. From teachers and extra-curricular activities, we form habits of Leadership and good Citizenship. Such traits may be obtained, in theory, from books: but it takes practical application to make a real leader or citizen. There is no better place io learn good Sportsmanship, an essential for successful life, than on the playing field. At the different social functions, as well as in classrooms and extra-curricular activities, We develop Friendships which will last long after We bid high school goodbye. lt is to the per- fectly balanced combination of theseel,cadvr- xlzif, .S.t'lIUlfII'.Yl1I.f', Cll'fiS't'IIS!Iifi, .S'fim'1'.v111t1nsllif, and lfrim1a'.v!zififWhich, as a Whole, we call Srlzfml Lifv, that this Echo is dedicated, as a permanent record of one of the best years of our lives.

Roberts Gymnasium Jn Memoziam CHA RLES A. RGBE Students and alumni of Webster High were saddened last summer by the passing of their beloved coach, teacher, and friend-Charles A. Roberts. Coach, as he was called by everyone, was the personification of the ideals to which this Echo is dedicated. He was an excellent teacher and coach, and a staunch friend to all with Whom he came in contact. He never boasted of a winning team nor com- plained of a losing one. He Will always be remembered by his students, his athletes, and his many other friends for his combined abili- ties of producing fine teams and of developing fine scholars. His calm temper and deliberate judgment made him one of the most popular teachers, and these qualities influenced many students in the building of their lives. - . hz X HN L, .

These qualities are acquired as students accept rnore and rnore the responsibilities in the lite ot the school. School Life is full of numerous activities which emphasize democratic living. For the individual student it poses a challenge which is best stated in the question-What can l do that l like to do that is worth doing? When he answers that question he must think not only of himself, but also of the welfare of the group. School Life in all of its aspects not only develops the person individually, but it enables him to grow in stature through his association with other people. School spirit is an important part of a life- living school. What is school spirit? lt is devotion to high ideals: to the loest standards of personal conduct: to loyalty for those in- stitutions and friends which deserve loyalty: to good sportsmanship at all times: to moral as well as physical courage in every crisis: to joy in the accomplishment of worth-while tasks: and to reverence for the finer values of life. Language, mathematics, science, and the social studies: music, art, and literature: games and dances and parties-these are all a part of the panorama of School days. Likewise, fall landscapes, the snows of winter, and early spring days stamp their pictures into the album of school life. Thus it is-a continuous stream of work and play and growth: the development of the character into something finer and more worth-while and wholesome: and then finally, a fond recollection of memories. That is School Life! eonarcf cglteger Superintendent, Webster Groves Schools Quittin' Time! owarof ofatta Principal, Webster Groves High School Take a Letter! School Life is what We make it, individually and collectively. It is the sum of our experi- ences in any one year, or in our four or six year stay at Webster Groves High School. For the student and for the group, the class of any one year, it may be a rich, well rounded and satisfying experience. However, the depth, genuineness and permanence of these qual- ities depend upon the general Well being, teamwork and collective achievement. We sometimes choose to think of School Life in the terms of tive phases which probably should have no priority of order for they usually should be inseparable. Leadership is that plus that We give to any collective activity, large or small. Scholarship. how we learn, is basic to every Worth-while activity. Citizenship is the individual and collective responsibility for the Well being of the school. Sportsmanship is the essence of fair play- the democratic process of give and take. Friendship is that personal satisfaction of belonging to and being accepted by the group. These five elements harmoniously and pro- portionately blended in the life of the student or the class determine the richness of our School Life. Qoard of gcfucatlon Frank L. Wright, Ph. D.

It arranged and, in some cases, presented the assemblies for both schools. At the beginning of the second semester the Student Control Plan was put into effect. This placed responsibility for control of the students in their own hands. The meeting will please come to order, said Oliver Biederman to the junior Student Council on each Wednesday during the year. The junior Student Council is the governing body of the junior school. lts members are elected from the various homerooms by the OUI'lCl. S students. This year, a representative and an alternate were elected in order to assure representation for each homeroom at all the meetings. The total membership was forty- eight. lt was the duty of the homeroom rep- resentative to report the business and the projects of the council to his group. Aside from governing, the council had con- trol of the Monitors. Various committees were chosen by the president. They were as fol- lows: a telephoning committee, an assembly committee, and a publicity committee. Several of the boys attended to the bicycle racks and made certain that the bicycles were locked. This year set a precedent in that the council had several joint meetings with the Senior Student Council. The meetings proved to be very beneficial in that they increased the co-operation between the two schools. Other officers for '46-'47 were: Bob Gremp, vice-president, and Buck Weaver, secretary- treasurer. The organization was sponsored by Miss Brantley, and the meetings were held in her room. Madame Secretary Miss Brant - IQ g ley and the Cabinet Hold that line! Guard Duty! Student ontrol The object of Student Control, the newest organization at Webster Groves High School, was to put the student body under the control of a group of students instead of under the faculty. Assemblies were conducted by the officers of the different grades to explain Student Control and to ask for the students' full co-operation. The students were also told how Student Control worked at Cleveland High School in St. Louis from where the idea Was taken. Following these assemblies, the idea Was put into action for a trial period. Volunteers called Student Guides were on duty for a week at a time to see that the students did not get out of hand. Next year the student body will elect the student guides. Finally on February 21, the student body voted in favor of keeping Student Control. Although no officers were elected to Student Control, much of the credit for the success of the organization goes to Herb Nolan and lean Weaver, who Worked long and hard to put the idea over. Cglze onitors The Monitors was a well known organiza- tion in the junior school. lt Was under the supervision of the lunior School Student Council and sponsored by Miss Brantley. The main duty of the Monitors was to see that law and order were kept in the junior school. The members controlled the lunch and check lines and blocked certain areas of the halls. They also made sure that the students went to and from lunch quietly. An undesired duty of the Monitors was that of reporting repeated offenders to the Student Council. An effort was then made to reform the offender. This group of boys was chosen by recom- mendation of the eighth and ninth grade counselors and homeroom teachers and by the Iunior School Student Council. After a discussion on each candidate, the desired number was finally chosen. ln order that their fellow students might recognize them, the Monitors Wore on their arms orange bands with black M's in the centers. These bands were checked out in the mornings and returned at the close of school.

This year's mid-seniors were divided into two homerooms, one under the direction of Miss Campbell and the other under Miss l'laclcett's guidance. There were, in all, forty- one members in the class. Although they were a small group, they were well represented in many activities throughout the school and supported all school projects. Some of the boys' special interests were baseball, football, track, Hi-Y, and Y council, while the girls' favorite after-school sport seemed to be basket ball. The class was also active in choir, public speaking and dramatics. Many were Working McKelvey, Vickroy, Schoen, Owen, Paschen, Eldridge, Eyler, Burton, Amend Kraich, Ritzen, Hayman, Stahlhut, Smith, Coggeshall, Ackers Mueller, Twente, Gnaeqy.

The class enthusiastically supported the Red Cross and March of Dimes drives and filled several boxes with toys for children in Europe. This is the last mid-year class that will graduate from Webster, since all other stu- dents who would have been mid-years have been transferred into the class ahead or the class behind. Many members of this group will stay on and graduate with the Iune class of 1948. ragg- Groetsch, Griaegy, I. Becker, R.

They looked with envy upon the seniors, who were at the head of most of the school's activities. Soon they will step into that supreme position and assume many new responsibilities. This energetic and enthusiastic class of 256 students organized early in the fall and chose their officers. For the second consecutive year they elected lohn Noonan president. They chose lean Weaver vice-president and Susy Sturges secretary-treasurer. These officers, along with the homeroom presidents, made up the junior cabinet. This cabinet met pe- ,.q-, -. U fl l'O TS riodically with their counselor, Mr. Ogle, and made many important decisions for the class. Soon after the cabinet organized, they out- lined their plans for the year and found they had three main objectives. ln past years the seniors have chosen their class rings in the fall and received them in the spring of their graduating year. These industrious juniors were not to be hampered by former customs and decided to choose their rings earlier, so that they would be able to wear them during their entire senior year. Still the cabinet was not content and proceeded to inaugurate a new method of electing cheerleaders. The third project of the juniors was their prom. This was given in the spring and the junior boys elected a queen, whose name was kept secret until she was crowned at the prom.

During the year each sophomore had an individual conference with Miss Vesta McClain, the tenth grade counselor, and with his own homeroom teacher. The purpose of these con- ferences was to check credits for graduation 56- and to have the student begin thinking about his life Work. To help the student choose his life Work, the California Occupation Interest Inventory Test was given. The conferences also helped the student settle any problem brought on by the change to senior school life. As English was the only required course, the student was free to choose the rest of his pro- gram. The most popular subjects besides QS3Op!lOITlrOI'QS English were: a foreign language, a math course, biology, and modern history. Electives such as art, foods, and clothing were also C-ffered. Sophomores took a lively interest in extra curricular activities and were duly represented in the different clubs and teams.

The responsibility of counseling was that of Miss Epps. At the beginning of the year the class or- ganized and elected the following: Iohn Semmelmeyer, presidentg' Lee Bland, vice- presidentg and Mary Wyrick, secretary-treas- urer. These officers and the presidents of the homerooms made up the cabinet which handled the business of the class. The homeroom presidents were: Mary Ruth Schlotterbeck, foe Vaughn, Iohn Semmelmeyer, Gerald Lee, Ioyce Warzeniak, lean Pruesser, Frank Durkee, lack Whitworth, and Monty May.

Movies on different occupations were shown. An assembly on outside activities was held with a speaker from each organization in school. ln another assembly a well-known speaker gave a talk against cigarettes and alcohol. A Talent Show assembly was given in which representatives from each homeroom participated. Also each homeroom had a party before the Christmas vacation. A car- nival-dance was given in the fall, and then again in the spring. Although these dances were managed and chaperoned by parents and Miss Epps, the activities were planned by the students.

A cabinet was formed, which was made up of the homeroom presi- dents and class officers. The homeroom presi- dents were: Ervin Dunkel, jim Reuter, Mark Youngdahl, lerry Nations, Steve Salveter, Russell Simons, and George lackson. The class officers, a new idea also, were: Frank Erier, president: Don Meffert, vice-presidentg and Russell Simons, secretary-treasurer. The cab- inet planned assemblies and projects for the class.

This year the eighth grade continued its Arthur Murray Dancing Classes. They were held every Tuesday night and were sponsored by some of the parents. These same parents chaperoned the eighth grade Christmas Party in December. As the eighth grade is the stepping off place for entering upon the last four important years cf high school, program conferences were held in March. Each student had a conference with Mr. Verby or Miss jackson, the grade coun- selor, and his parents, at which his program for the next four years of school was planned as closely as possible. Instead of allowing the eighth grader to choose a subject as an elective, certain sub- jects were required. The girls took home eco- nomics, the boys took shop, and both took crafts for one semester. jedliska, Frier, Metfert, Green, jackson, lanes, Gunlock, Holloway, Keiser, MCG Harrison, Lowen, Hicks, Haley. s, Mound, Held, Kremer, Dean, lrick, Left, Gwynn, Kreb McFarland, Gavenman.

Those who did not want to take library reading could take chorus. English and social science were held together in a two-hour period called a block. The block was split at the end of an hour and a half for lunch. Then the student returned for the remaining half hour. Each block was held under one teacher. The boys entered intramural basketball in which each homeroom had a team. The girls played volleyball, ping pong, basketball, soft- ball, and dodgeball. 61 es -D O cwentfz Qra Q Where is the library? Where is the coun- selor's office? Where is the clinic? Ahl lm lost! These remarks and similar ones were heard in the halls of the junior school in September this year. They were made by the youngest and newest of the citizens at Webster High-these being the seventh graders. The seventh graders were divided into eight homerooms supervised by: Miss Christe, Mr. Devine, Miss Bynum, Mrs. Ehrnman, Miss Larsen, Miss Wood, Miss Reader, and Miss W'aldemer. The counselor of the class was Miss Webster. The students were active in numerous school organizations.

Many of the boys were in the Boys' Choir. The girls took part in after-school ping pong, shuffleboard, volleyball, and bas- ketball if they so desired. This year the seventh grade offered a core curriculum. ln this curriculum, a student had one teacher for two periods. They studied English, social studies, and spelling. For the remainder of the periods, the student was offered mathematics, vocal music, physical education, library reading, one semester of speech, and one semester of science. This year set a precedent in that some students were permitted to begin either French or Spanish. 62 -e Lyon, Hanson, Morris, Asbuzg, Iohanson, Kaber, Harshbarger, Holekamp, Hutsel, McKenna, Alney Merkel, Hatfield, Phelps, Long, Hitt, Petersen, Herzez, Marti, Hicks, How, Heinzelman Parker, Koester, Hannah, Lacey, Liberty, Nelson, Manning, Reiter, Letchworth, Pieper, McCallister Iohnson, Lunclstrom, Hock, Moore, Renter, Parker, Patterson, Menke, Phennighausen, Lawther, Black Locke, Meffert, Rogers, Mathis, Roberts, Mack, Riehl, Harper, B.

So, to get the ball rolling, a joint meeting of the two groups was held in order that the members might get acquainted and that they could make plans for the coming year. The first big activity of the year was the membership drive, which was carried on in the homerooms. One could obtain member- ship in the Red Cross and receive a certificate of membership by contributing a dime or more. Approximately one hundred and sixty dollars was collected in both divisions of the school. This money was then turned over to the National Children's Fund to buy canned milk, clothing, medical supplies, and other needed articles, which were sent to underprivileged children in foreign countries. lust before Christmas the members were again hard at work packing some thirty-eight aift boxes. These gift boxes were sent over- seas to make Christmas a happier time for the children of the war-devastated countries. The articles that filled the boxes were bought by the homeroom representatives with the money that was collected in their respective homerooms. However, children in the United States were not forgotten at Christmas time. ln the Iunior School library students and teachers alike were hard at work making a circus of animals and blocks, which were sent to children's homes and hospitals. All in all, nearly fifty animals and blocks were made. UI'll.OI' mee! Gross Santa's Helpers And they made them, too! LM'Ll.O4' md I'OSS These drives were not the only activities that the members took part in, for every after- noon after school some of the members went to the Chapter House to work. Not only was the work interesting and entertaining, but from it the members learned about the inside workings of the Red Cross and how the Red Cross goes about doing its many Won- derful activities. All through the year the members of the two groups collected tin foil. Then when enough was collected, the tin foil was sold, and the money that was obtained from the sale was used to further the expenses of the Red Cross. In the lunior School pieces of cloth were collected in the same way and were sewed together to form afgans. The Senior Chapter, under the direction of Miss Sadie lane Woods, elected Ginny Heron, president, Wilma Moffat, vice-president, Ianet Lamb, secretary, and Ioan Kindt, treasurer. Wilma Moffat succeeded Ginny Heron, who graduated in fanuary, as president for the second semester. The funior Chapter, which met every other Thursday under the joint sponsorship of Miss Ruth Bynum and Miss Rosina Shepardson, chose as officers: Dan Mack, president, Shelia Handely, vice-presi- dent, Carol Von Hoffman, secretary, and lay Metcalfe, treasurer.

Their aim has been to give you a com- plete memory book of your high school days, and by formal and informal pic- tures to present a true cross-section of the activities of the school. Since the price of the book alone is not enough to cover all expenses of publishing, the staff completes the financing through other means. Adver- tising, the selling of candy at football games and after school, the sale of Turkey Day buttons, the sale of per- sonal label books, profit from the school book store, and individual pic- ture taxes are sources from which ad- ditional funds are obtained. The Echo sponsored the Coronation. The Court was composed of girls and boys who graduate in lune and who fulfill three requirements. These are: at least a C grade average for three and one-half years, participation in at least one extra-curricular activity, and attendance at Webster High for both junior and senior years. The girls were chosen by the senior class, and they, in turn, choose their own escorts. From the Court of twenty-eight girls the senior class elected eight as Special Maids of Honor. Constance Canavan, Loretta Darigo, loan Dorsett, Catherine Higgins, Betty lohnson, Kay Kirk, Ann Martindale, and Ann Williams were the Special Maids. From this group the senior high elected the Echo Queen. Saturday evening, April 19th, the auditorium was filled with guests who eagerly waited to see who the Echo Queen of 1947 would be. Martha Ruddy, the i946 Queen, was present to relinquish her crown. The scene was very colorful as the herald summoned the ladies of the court. The girls, dressed in gowns of lovely pastels and carrying armloads of flowers, marched, to the tune of Pomp and Circumstance, down the aisles with their escorts, who were also in formal attire. The secret of the queen's identity was well kept, and the first one to know, other than the sponsor and the editor, was the tiny crown bearer. lt was she who summoned the Special Maid before the throne. Bill Shewman, as editor, crowned the l947 Echo Queen amid a burst of applause. It was truly an im- pressive ceremony, that will not soon be forgotten by the spectators and will never leave the memory of those who took part in it. The Echo, sponsored by Mr. Settle, is a member of the Missouri Inter scholastic Press Association, the Na- tional Scholastic Press Association, and the Columbia Press Association. Late in the spring those members of the staff who fulfilled the necessary requirements were initiated into the International Quill and Scroll. YOQQ Dig deep, Son.

Over this long period of time, it has become a vital part of our school life. Few of us realize the effort and work that is put into each publication, but neither have we experienced the good times that accom- pany all the labor. During the past year the paper was distributed on approximately alternating Thursdays. Work began when the as- signments were made, usually ten days before the deadline. On Wednesday before the paper was circulated, the editors of the paper made the long trip to Wellston to read the proofs. These trips were recalled with much laughter. This year's staff was composed of forty students, seventeen of which were reporters. The remainder of the staff were editors or Worked on circulation, adver- tising, and business. In the spring of l946, applications for positions on the staff were distributed to volunteers, on the basis of their previous school record and recommendations. Members of the staff who did superior journalistic work and were in the upper third of their classes were eligible to membership in the Quill and Scroll, an international honorary society for high school journalists. The Webster Echo is a member of the National Scholastic Press Association, and the Missouri ln- terscholastic Press Association. ln order to gain profitable journalistic knowledge through comparison, the Webster Echo exchanged editions with over twenty schools throughout the United States. In November the Webster Echo co- operated with the Kirkwood Call to pro- duce the program for the Annual Turkey- Day Game. During the first part of the year members of the staff diligently ap- plied themselves to the task of selling auto-plates, representing the Webster Statesmen. On the afternoon of Ianuary 20 a staff party was given in 309, the home of the Webster Echo. The party was given in honor of the editor-in-chief, Kennerly Woody, who graduated in lanuary. The program for the party was in the form of a miniature newspaper, and included talks by Kennerly Woody, Polly Pierson, Dick Darley, and Mary Louise Howe. Near the close of the school year, a party was given for the students who had been chosen for the next year's staff. Editors of the Echo for the first se- mester were as follows: editor-in-chief, Kennerly Woody: managing editor, Mary Budding Iournalists mmap Censor Board Webster gclzo Louise Howe: news editor, Polly Pierson: feature editor, Dolores lohnson: sports editor, Tod Moore: copy editor, Dolores Heron: business manager, Ed Schu- macher: and advertising manager, Clay- ton Connelly. Upon the graduation of Kennerly Woody in Ianuary, Mary Louise Howe assumed duties as editor- in-chief, and Polly Pierson became man- aging editor in addition to her original position. The photographers for the staff were George Dalton and Bill Conway. The staff was supervised by Miss Mary Howard.

Miss Mildred Allen, the librarian, had two adult assistants helping her this year. Overdue? Fine two cents. Mrs. K. Holaday worked in the mornings, and Mrs. R. C. lones was there in the afternoons. These assistant helped students find reference material, suggested books for pleasure read- ing, and kept order in the library. At all times during the school hours there were two student assistants on duty. These students worked in the library during the hour in which they would otherwise have had study hall. One assistant was at the check- in desk where incoming and overdue books were received and fines were paid. The other assistant was at the check-out desk where outgoing books and periodicals were issued. The student assistants also did any typing that was necessary-such as fine slips and lists of books which were sent to the hospital for repairs. When an overdue book was out a certain length of time, the assistant looked up the guilty person's whereabouts and searched him out to demand the fee. The only pay that the student assistant received for his hour's work was the free tickets to the Travelogue Lecture Series. As schedules changed and mid-years grad- uated, some old assistants were replaced by new ones. -72- t Carter, l-laywood, Wolff, Knobloch, lablonslcy, DeLong, Kergo Davis, Peterson, Nero, Ellison, Nitzsche, Darigo, lohnson, Wilcox Henry, Hofstetter, Lindhorst, Cooley, Griggs, Benson, I-leidinger, Moffat lfieseler, Van l-look, Greene, Placke, Sturhahn, Wagner, Dernas, Whitehouse, Owen The Office Assistants not only gained a great deal of actual experience by assisting in the high school office, but were a valuable asset to the office staff. The purpose of this system is to take the students out of the train- ing situation into the experience situation, where they deal with adults and official school business. Any student in the clerical and secretarial classes is eligible to the position of an office assistant if her previous school record and conduct have been satisfactory. These girls were encouraged to bring problems which confronted them in the office into their class- rooms for the benefit of the entire group. The activities of the office assistants included such duties as answering the telephone, filing office records, accepting and delivering im- portant messages, cutting stencils for mime- ographing large quantities of material, and handling mailing lists. From this group of girls the outstanding assistants were selected for paid office ac- tivities after school. The duties of these girls mainly concerned office administrative work. The assistants also did special work for teachers. In the spring the office assistants were eli- gible for two types of employment. The girls were able to fill positions for permanent commercial work, and those interested in QMCQ ssistants further education were eligible for summer employment. Besides the asset of actual ex- perience, the commercial teachers and the office staff could recommend the students with full knowledge of their ability. Career Girls The club had two or three of its members on duty in the visual office every hour. This was especially important in case of sudden requests however most requests were made in advance so that the necessary prepara- tions for presenting the films could be made. After serving as an audio visual operator for a period of one year each member was awarded a letter of merit This letter consisted of a black proiector on an orange Approxlmately two thirds of the members of the organization were new this year, and, as it takes a good deal of time to train operators, membership was unattainable after the end The officers for the year were Bill Conway, president and Pete Sherwin vice-president. 3'3- K2 Wichrnan, Richmond, Muth, Harris, Abernathy, Seicler Barba, Thornton, Mr. Barnett, Smith, Weis, Lonergan Flint, Sherwin, Conway, Dalton, Woodard The Audio Visual operators is an organiza- tion which has been in existence at Webster High since September l94O The club has 'Z previously been under the sponsorship of Mr. U lo' lsua Ogle but Mr Barnett assumed that respon- The operators lend their asslstance to the perators teachers upon request Films on all subjects can be obtained and the results of actually seeing films on various subiects are extremely beneficial The public address system of the school which may also be used upon request, is under the control of the visual operators. the students were the originators of the noon movies which proved to be very enjoyable. Television Next H74- Shine 'em up unc room jTssistants During the past year, many of us Watched enviously as certain individuals left study halls long before the rest of us were allowed to dash madly to . . lunch These Certain individuals were the lunchroom assistants, who helped to give our lunches the finishing touches. The requirements for this job are rigid. Each assistant must maintain a C average, and have a fourth or fifth hour study hall which he can donate to work in the cafeteria. Be- sides all this, the assistant must be recom- mended by his homeroom teacher, study hall teacher, or the principal. One of the most rigid laws applied to lunchroom assistants was regular attendance, for dependability was a must. The assistants had many different duties. First of all came the boys who were swamped behind the candy counter on days when the more chosen bars were offered. A duty in the cafeteria itself was the distribution of milk and the desserts on the counter. Of course, we couldn't forget the student who collected our checks at the end of the counter. Another reliable assistant sold checks in the audito- rium throughout the noon hour. The final duty of the lunchroom assistants was to clean up the lunchroom and the cafeteria. For the past year, Miss Viola Conrad was in charge of the lunchroom and at the end of the year she reported that the assistants had been very efficient.

This previous exper ence is necessary to gain admission to thi group, because of the advanced music played. Webster is most fortunate in having a good library of orchestral arrangements. Although all the music could not be worked up for public presentation, nevertheless the numbers were read through so that the students could become acquainted with many kinds of music. Most of their study centered around music to be played for public performan ces. Atten- i- S tion was given to the study of the composer and of the history of the time and place in which the piece was first written and per- formed. From the literature study, programs were formed for public presentation in the annual All Saint Louis County Instrumental Music Festival, the Spring Concert, assembly pro- grams, P.T.A. meetings, and at elementary school assemblies. Also the music for the operetta given by the A Cappella choirs was provided by the orchestra. The officers of the group Were: Rene Wiegert, president: Don Henley, vice-presi- S Cqrcfaestras dent, lean Weaver, secretary, Katherine Longstreet, treasurer: Bill Randolph and Armin Elbring, librarians.

The ninety-five members gained a greater under- standing of band literature, as they rehearsed compositions of classical writers along with the more popular pieces. Most of the members belonged to the March- ing Band, which played at the football games during the first part of the season. At the Thanksgiving Day game the band combined with the Kirkwood High School Band, and for the first time they marched together on the .. 78 W- athletic field. As in past years, the Marching Band was under the direction of Mr. Edwin Myers. For the second consecutive year, the Web- ster Cfroves Concert Band acted as host to the groups who participated in the Saint Louis County District Music Festival. Twenty-two members of the concert band were chosen to take part in the All County High School Band. This band played at Kiel Auditorium, and also for the meeting of the Saint Louis County Teachers Association. The officers of the band were as follows: President, Bill Baug vice-president, Dave Hermany secretary-treasurer, William Loweng and librarians, Virginia Peterson and Rita Alexander. The drum-majorette was Barbara Parker. The Iunior School Band, under the direction of Mr. Hans Lemcke, had a membership of sixty-five students this year.

The year started with the election of officers. Ray Lewis was chosen president: Bruce Whitehead, vice-president, and Lucille Strippgen, recording secretary. A few days later a get acquainted picnic was held at the home of the Pennells. The choir was divided into ten different groups, each of which was responsible for a skit for the picnic. This proved to be very interesting and enter- taining. During October dues were collected, and robes were distributed. The choir then gave their first public appearance in an upper school assembly. ln November the choir sang at an Avery P. T. A. meeting. December was one of the busiest months for choir. They sang in an assembly and gave four Vesper Services. These services are un- doubtedly the most outstanding performances of the choir. They also sang for the Webster Rotarian Christmas meeting. Following the last vesper service an alumni party was held. so we KZ GGPQMCZ Ol.I'S ln Ianuary they sang at the mid-year grad- uation. Then they started to work on the operetta, taking time out from their practices to sing for the P. T. A. meeting at Bristol in February. In March the operetta, The Red Mill, was given. This was one of the main projects of the year. The choir sang in several more assemblies and concluded the year by singing at graduation.

The Herald Angels Sing o. , M' S OTUS The Girls Chorus was an organization which was open for membership to any girl in the tenth grade. lt was under the direction of Mrs. Waller, the new music teacher at Webster High. The majority of these students had had previous training in music, by belonging to the Mixed Chorus or by belonging to the sev- enth and eighth grade chorus. They all de- sired to gain more musical knowledge and singing ability. At the beginning of the year the funda- mentals of choral singing were stressed, and the elemental theory was carried out. The purpose of this was to help the students de- velop skill and technique. lt was during this time that most of the students began to appre- ciate and to realize how much their previous training in other musical organizations was worth. The majority ot these girls were in- terested in eventually becoming a member of Throm, Dye, Lonergan, Laurence, Wenzel, Roberts, Farnke, Harris, Pitts, Sawyer Geary, Fieseler, Seibert, Heath, Kramer, Hamilton, Nelson, Hagemarm, Vogelweid, Running Easton, Berket, Parks, Smith, Hausladen, Shattuck, Galenkamp, Schwiess, Phieffer, Blackburn French, Lambert, Sousley, Schnaedelback, Brondos, Cliff, Collins, Mallet, Echrich, Hagler, Hooker Did everybody get that? the Beginning A Cappella Choirp therefore, they were very eager to participate in group singing and to obtain a better knowledge of vocal interpretation and appreciation. The chorus studied a great variety of songs which included light opera, popular, sacred, and secular numbers. As in previous years a selected group was chosen from the chorus to take part in the Vesper services, which were given at Christmas time. They sang Glory to God from behind the stage. Though they were not seen, they proved themselves to be a Valuable addition to the services. Besides this activity, the chorus as a whole sang in several assemblies. The officers were: Frances Seibert, president, loan Sousley, vice-president: Nancy Hage- mann, secretary-treasurer: and Mrs. Waller, director. -82-. 3 wgiwy Roseborough, Metcalf, Lee Schlagter, Straub, Vaughan, Henley, Weaver, Whitney, Metcalfe.

When the Mixed Chorus was organized, the demand from the ninth grade alone Was so great that it was open only to Freshmen. The group was made up of approximately one hun- dred and ten eager boys and girls. It was an organization for students who de- sired to gain more musical knowledge and singing ability. Under the direction of Mrs. Vlfaller, they were given the necessary instruc- tions to enable them to develop skill and technique. The chorus tried to have as much variety as they possible could. They studied folk songs and Negro spirituals, as Well as popular numbers. The officers were: Lee Bland, president: Mary Wyrick, vice-president: Ierry Iohnson, secretary-treasurer. -33- Construction Crew As seen from the wings QSPQI' QTUIDCQ Among the most outstanding memories of Webster High students and graduates are the Christmas Vespers, which are under the direc- tion of Miss Beplogle. Vespers is the story of Christmas presented in carols and pageant by the advanced A Cappella Choir, the Beginning Choir, the Boys' Choir, and a cast of students. The cast was as follows: Mary, Kay Kirk: loseph, Bill Shew- man: Shepherds, lay Close, Clayton Connelly, Bob Cooper, Walt Hundley, Art Hutsell, Iimmy Iordan, Bob Stadelhofer, and Tom Young: Father, Milton Harvey: Mother, Nancy Owen: Daughter, Barbara Dorsey: Son, Iohn Shilling- ton: Lady of Ouality, Camille Smith: Queen, Catherine Leonard: White King, Ftay Ogle: Yellow King, Don Blair: Black King, Iohn Stein: Beggar, George Massengale: Peasant Woman, Betty lane Lovell: Peasant Girls, Marilyn Brand- horst, Nancy Diekroger, and Dolores Beard: Children, Gloria Flautt, Tim Moore, and Iudy Campbell: Angels, Helen Hewitt, Shirley Knight, Barbara Lippert, Frances Meier, Ieanne Placke, and Ianet Utrecht: Young Girl, Nancy Hughes.

The action takes place in a small town in Holland. Con Kidder and Kid Conner, two Americans, are broke and are attempting to pay their inn bill and return to America. The action gets hilarious when they contrive with Tina, the inn-keepers daughter, to help the burgomaster's daughter marry the man of her choice. To escape detection and get the re- ward the burgomaster has offered for the re- turn of his daughter, they disguise themselves, first as Italians and later as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.

The purpose of the club is to teach those who are interested how to take and how to develop pictures. The meetings were held on Friday after- noons in Room 302. They were called to order by president Patty Williams and the minutes were read by secretary lack Muth. The pro- grams consisted largely of posters connected with the taking and the developing of pictures. At one meeting, Miss Rowley, who is super- visor of art in the Webster schools, gave a lec- ture on how to focus a camera in order to create the desired effect. Some of the members brought pictures and Miss Rowley selected one of Bill ConWay's pictures as best in the group. At the beginning of the year, the club made a trip to the Art Museum in Forest Park to see a selon. This proved to be very interesting experience because the sponsor had one of his pictures being shown there. In March, the Camera Club presented its own selon. It was held in the Webster Groves Public Library and each member of the club was eligible to submit a picture for entrance. lf the picture was considered good by a select- ed group of judges, it was allowed to be hung. Many good pictures were presented and the selon was a great success. -35- Parker, Patterson, Haack, Henley, Biederman, Dietz Parke, Greene, Randels, Fisher, Lobdell, Mrs. Hamaker England, Bode, Killian, Wentworth, Shoemaker, Smith The object of the Scribblers' Club is to en- courage creative Writing and reading. lt is open to any seventh, eighth, or ninth grade student who is willing to do his share and take part in the programs. At their weekly meeting, the students read their original compositions, which could be of any type. At each meeting from six to twelve such compositions were read and voted on by the rest of the members. Small prizes were presented to the writers who received the great- est number of votes. At the end of the year the one who had the highest total of votes re- ceived a special prize. During the year some of the Scribblers pub- lished a small newspaper, Srribbling, which contained work written by themselves and their fellow members. lt was issued about every two weeks just to the Scribbler group. Don Henley was the editor of the paper and the members of his staff were: Willa Mae Fisher, David Haack, Marion Whitworth, and Oliver Biederman. As the Scribblers were quite active socially, they had several parties throughout the year. Included in these were a picnic in September, and a Valentine party. The officers who served very efficiently dur- ing the year were: Loretta England, presidentg Don Henley, vice-president: Iune Bode, secre- taryg and Ioyce Burnett, treasurer. As in other years, Mrs. Hamaker was spon- sor of the group. -871 cgjcribglersj Glad Bugs and Company Dead Eye Pencel It Won't be long now QJKH The purpose of the Girls' Athletic Association is to promote an interest in athletics and to arouse a feeling of good fellowship between our school and other schools in St. Louis Coun- ty. Any senior school girl is eligible for mem- bership in the organization, but she must earn 100 points in order to be initiated. After the initiation she is required to earn 50 points a semester or will be dropped from the club. Various opportunities were offered to earn these points, which eventually led to an award. Intra-mural tournaments were held in hockey, basketball, volleyball, and softball. In addi- tion to these, ping pong tournaments and a swimming course at Washington University were made possible by the association. The G. A. A. and Pep Club combined their annual rush parties into a single picnic. This picnic was held to acquaint the girls who were not members of the two clubs with the ideals of the organizations as well as the entrance requirements. As the G. A. A. sponsors all the inter-scholas- tic games, money-making projects are extreme- ly important. The members began early in the fall to earn funds by selling hot dogs and cokes at all of the home football games. Later on in the year, white head scarfs with Webster High printed on them were sold to students. A traditional backward dance, The Kampus King Koronation, was presented in the spring. At this dance the most popular senior boy, selected by ballot of the senior school girls, was crowned Kampus King of 1947. As the last event of the year, the members held their annual banquet in May. According to custom, only members, their mothers, and older sisters were permitted to attend. Awards were presented to girls earning the required number of points: a chenille for 1000 points, a G, A. A. for l500 points, and a silver trophy for 2000 points. New members were initiated, and the newly elected officers for 1947-48 were installed. Officers for the year were: Katherine Kirk, president: Loretta Darigo, vice-president: loan I-limebaugh, secretary: Bebe Phillips, treasur- ery and Carol lane Pence, sergeant-at-arms.

To them chemistry was still a jumbled mass of atoms, molecules, and unknown facts, but before the end of the school year, they had all witnessed and taken part in many demonstra- tions which increased their scientific knowl- edge. About twenty-five years ago Doc Schulz decided that some students might be interested in learning more about chemistry than the course provides, and in finding these things out for themselves through experiments. Con- sequently, he organized the Chemistry Club, which has been in existence from that day on. One of the most interesting experiments of the year concerned bakelite. Bakelite is a plastic which is made by treating formalde- hyde with carbolic acid. All went well until a disturbing odor filled the room. At this time the demonstrator explained to the gasping chemists that formaldehyde is frequently used by undertakers in making embalming fluid. Fortunately, Doc Schulz opened the windows and the members enjoyed the remainder of the experiment. Among other experiments per- formed was the testing for alkalies, a demon- stration concerning nitric acid, and one of the arts of photography. -- 921 enzistry Mr, Chemistry of l947 Qmfze fur Although the Webster Groves High School Rifle Range was torn down with the Armory, the Boys' Rifle Club went on reaching new heights of success.

At the organization meeting these officers were elected: Patty Williams, president: Betty lane Lovell, vice-presidentp Alby Horton, sec- retary: and Ieannine Davis, treasurer. The group was open to any senior school student who was interested in riding, whether she had won first prize in a show or whether they had barely petted the milkman's horse. The rides were held at Missouri Stables every week, but each member was not ex- pected to ride each time. Once a month was sufficient to retain membership in the club, al- though a rider could ride every week. This rule was made to bar inactive membership. Everyone escaped serious damage although there were a few spills. Several members par- ticipated in the horse shows held at Missouri Stables. Included in these was the St. Louis Iunior Horse Show, which was held in October. The club was under the sponsorship of Miss Sutherland. Cgklpk H M mltdllng Club Anyone who loves horses and horseback riding knows what fun it is to ride over the trails on a spirited horse with the wind blowing in his face. This pleasure was made possible for many junior school students by the Triple L Riding Club. The newly organized club named as its of- ficers: Helen Canada, president, Iune Schu- macher, secretary, and Martha Holekamp, treasurer. The parents took turns driving the members to the stables and calling for them. The club chose to have their rides at Hilltop Stables as that was the most convenient place for the majority of the members. They rode every other Tuesday, when it was at all pos- sible. After much debate the club was named Triple L Riding Club-Larsen's Lads and Lassieshin honor of the sponsor, Miss Larsen.

This year the Pan Am League was divided into two groups, the English speaking group and the Spanish speaking one. The main pur- pose of the club as a whole is to learn about Latin America and to become more interested in relations between America and her southern neighbors. The officers of the Spanish Speaking unit were: lean Von Hoffman, president, Marlene Gilliland, secretary: and Nancy Diekroeger, treasurer. This groups activities were very interesting. They began by having two Puerto Ricon girls, who were atetnding Webster College, as guest speakers. Much to the whole school's enjoy- ment, the group managed to have Tito Guizar, a noted Mexican cntertainer, for an assembly program. He was introduced by Gil Newsome, the popular radio performer. During this as- sembly Tito Guizar talked about good rela- tions, sang songs in Spanish as well as in English, and gave away albums of his records to several students.

Once a month the two groups held a joint meeting. The entire organization was managed by the main council, which consisted of the officers from each group. This committee de- cided the general plans and policies of the club. At these joint meetings such topics as inter- American defense, the Good Neighbor policy, democratic co-operation between the Amer- icas, Latin American music, art, and architec- ture, and Latin American liberators were dis- cussed by the students. The main project for this year was participa- tion in an essay contest between the United States and Mexico. The winner of the contest received a twenty-five dollar war bond. This contest furnished a considerable amount of work for the members. Miss Doud and Miss Fiehler, the club's spon- sors, along with Miss Woods and Miss Suther- land, the Spanish teachers, assisted the club in many ways and helped to make the year a real success. All their activities were by no means busi- ness affairs: they also had several parties. The year's program ended with the annual ban- quet at which time plans were made for an even more profitable and enjoyable club next year. -97- all I7'lQl'tCClfI, QCZQUQ Pan Am Senoritas .B . elatmus amor ln l927 Latinus Rumor was started by a staff chosen from the membership of the Latin Club and has continued successfully for many years. The eight issues of the paper that came out during the year were eagerly waited for and read by all subscribers. The publication was full of news of direct interest to all Latin students, and consisted of three mimeographed sheets, one of which was the cover appropriately illustrated for the sea- son. The issues contained many unusual facts about Latin mythology, customs, and holidays. Leonard, Braun, Brandhorst Page, E. Howe, Darigo, Heron, Slade Saxby, Pieper, Pence, Pierson, M. Howe, Phillips Latest in Rumors lt was truly amazing to note the number of customs we have today that came to us directly from the Romans. These and many other inter- esting facts show the importance of Latin in the modern world. The paper was under the sponsorship of Miss Hazel K. Farmer. The editor of this year's Latinus Rumor was Polly Pierson, and the associate editors were Carol Pence, Marilyn Brandhorst, and Bebe Phillips. The art editors, who drew the clever illustrations and covers, were PeQQY Pieper, Nancy Page, and Skippy Slade. The crossword puzzle which so many Latin students puzzled over was done by Helen Saxby, and Richard Braun was in charge of the famous Rumor Humor column. Other mem- bers of the staff included: Mary Louis Howe, copy editor: Catherine Leonard, copy assist- ant: Dolores Heron, business manager: Emily Howe, business assistant: and Loretta Darigo, typist. This paper was not only interesting and educational for the readers, but it also provided a fine opportunity for the staff members to ex- hibit their literary talents. -ggm Mr. Hixson and one by Mr. Paul Iohnsong a Saxby, Anthony, Richmond, Coggeshall, Lillard, Hahn, Morris, Dunbar, Cottam, Bode.

Conventus Latinus, better known as the Latin Club, is one of the oldest and largest clubs in the school. The club, under the sponsorship of Miss Hazel K. Farmer, was open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors who were interested in Latin. The monthly meetings proved both in- teresting and educational to the group. Among this year's programs were a talk by quiz program and a charade program. The club held a Christmas party, and, in Spring, a banquet in honor of Latin week, tol- lowing which the installation of next year's of- ficers was held. The group was also very active in charity work. ...gg- ,JWFV I-lundley, Youngdahl, Morgan, Berens, Davies, Clemons. Whitehead, MacVeagh, Denise, Graham, Vanderbilt, Weaver, Miss Woods.

On entering Room 108 on the first or third Monday of each month, one might have thought that he was actually in France for the French Club was in session. All business, pro grams, and minutes were presented in French. The president, Polly Pierson, opened each meeting with the phrase, La seance est ou- verte. Following the reading of the minutes, the secretary, Wilma Iones, called the roll and each member answered to his name with a jake, a maxim, a riddle, or a story in French. The program, under the direction of the vice- president, Kent Youngdahl, followed. At the beginning of the year the club decided to sell pop corn balls to help raise money for the treasury. Several club members made the balls, and everyone sold them after school. The treasurer, Walt I-lundley, reported that these sales were very profitable and the pro- ject was pronounced a great success. The club celebrated lour des Bois on the sixth of lanuary. This is the day that the three Wise men arrived in Bethlehem and is an im- portant holiday in France. The club followed all the traditions connected with the day. Not only did the members derive great pleasure from this club, but at the same time they achieved a better understanding of the French people and their culture by learning about their customs and traditions, and cele- brating their holidays in the traditional man- ner. -100- QTC Q C9I'ClllCCll'S Come tali vous? Board of Directors tgproductznon Staff The Production Staff was an organization for dramatic students who did not appear be- fore the audience. Yet it was one of the groups which insured the success of each pro- duction. This year the Production Staff was divided into seven committees, each having a different chairman. These chairmen, along with the set construction, business, and house managers, scene designer, and student director, made up the production board. A different director was chosen for each play. The three chosen for the job were Eleanor Koste, lane Stevenson, and Marilyn Brandhorst, Dick Carpentier was the set construction manager, and PGQCJY Pieper was the scene designer. Business manager Carol Pence took care of the financial end of the plays. lean Barnes was the house man- ager, the costumes were placed with lean Graubner, and Billie Moffat had the job of properties. Lighting and sound effects were under the direction of Fred Copeland and Helen Saxby, respectively. Bob Schroth was in charge of publicity, and he was aided by Gloria Lindsley, who was in charge of posters.

About sixty boys from Sophomore, Iunior, and Senior classes joined hands with other youths all over the world in the Hi-Y Fellowship. Several innova- tions over previous years were adopted by the club. Its meetings were held in the Senior Room of the Y. M. C. A., instead of at the high school: also up until this year a sponsor had been chosen from among the men of the facul- ty, but this year the members chose Mr. Woody Sterrett, a student at Eden Seminary. Under the leadership of Woody and the Hi-Y officers-Louis Whittemore, president: Tom Cole, vice-president: Stan Kraich, secretary: and Iohn Haack, treasurer, the club held many interesting and informative meetings, of which the always thrilling and inspiring candlelight induction of new members, speeches and dis- cussions on world affairs, business opportun- ities, and a talk by Mayor Appel on the city government were the most outstanding. On the agenda for the first semester were a social meeting with the Tri-Y, a discussion on dat- ing with the members of the Pep Club, and a most interesting hay ride. The boys especially enjoyed the last three mentioned for it is very pleasing to look at the bright, attractive faces of Webster's co-eds after a steady diet each week of the not so provocative faces of fellow members. The Friendship Dance, annually held the Saturday evening after Thanksgiving Day in conjunction with the Kirkwood Hi-Y, had to be postponed until Ianuary because of the na- tional coal strike-although it was felt that only stags would miss the coal. At the start of the second semester there was an election. Louis Whittemore was elected president for a second term, Stan Kraich was elected vice-president, and Bob Zeitler and Harry Lankford were made secretary and treasurer, respectively. Among the programs planned by the pro- gram committee were talks on sportsmanship by members of the high school coaching staff, o' talk on radio, a visit to the city hall for a city council meeting, and several sports events. On the whole the Hi-Y accomplished much this year as a club. The most important con- tributions of the club to school life were the spirit of friendship which it encouraged and its efforts to help the high school fellows become better citizens of their community and country. -102- Hayman, Fedder, Denise, Blendon, Sturhahn, Wolff, Schumacher, Baureis, Langford Reid, Kastner, Harper, Reynolds, Iames, Moore, F.

The club was organized in the fall of l943 by the sophomore girls. Upon their graduation in l946 the senior girls of l947 took office and proved to be very able and efficient officers. The Webster Groves chapter of Tri-Y is a member of the World-Wide Girl Reserves. The motto of the Tri-Y, To find and give the best, was adopted from the Girl Reserves. Early in the fall the candlelight initiation Was held, and about thirty-five girls were made members. After the ceremonies the girls en- joyed group singing and refreshments. The meetings Were held bi-monthly and many in- teresting discussions Were held. On December third, the club gave a benefit card party at Club Seventeen. True to the creed of Tri-Y, the club used the proceeds from the card party to give a Christmas party for twenty-seven underprivileged children. In the spring the girls made trips to various radio stations and witnessed programs in the mak- ing. Another activity in the spring was the annual Tri-Y picnic, which was eagerly await- ed and enjoyed by all. The girls who led the club through the very successful year were: Pat Griggs, president: Ann Ruhe, vice-president, Betty fochens, sec- retary: loanne Cooley, treasurerg and Pat Wagner, sergeant-at-arms. The club was spon- sored and advised by Miss Dorothy Ehrnman. ee H14- Lacey, Krause, Ely, Teachenor, Montgomery, Flint-Smith, Nero, Ellison Rundberg, Weinel, Parker, Bott, Longstreet, Garner, Eberhart, Thornton Huffman, Goodman, Spear, Miller, Rodenhaus, Connelly, Shaub, Grant M. Miller, Uplinger, Slade, Higgins, Gewinner, Voelker, Davis, Long The purposes of the junior Y Girls were to give service to others and to promote friend- ship. The group was made up of about thirty junior class girls, almost all of whom belonged to Bi-Y last year. The future and her choice of vocations are two of the most important things that a girl must consider, so vocations was chosen as the subject of the year. The programs that they had concerning this subject included a book review and piano selections of Schumann, a lesson in folk danc- ing, and a talk on art. Belonging to this club gives a girl member- ship in the Young Women's Christian Associa- tion. This entitles her to go swimming at the to go camping at the Y camp in Monti- bello, and to enjoy other privileges. Periodically Y council meetings were held, to which each school Y group sent repre- sentatives. At these meetings projects which had been undertaken were discussed and plans for other meetings were made. This gave the girls ideas of what other schools and Y clubs were doing. Officers elected for this year were: Marcia Uplinger, presidentg Skippy Slade, secretaryg Luanne Gewinner, treasurerg and Rosemary Higgins, sergeant-at-arms. New officers were chosen for the second semester so that a great- er number of girls could have an opportunity of being leaders. The club was sponsored by Miss Hackett.

Ojootoall ,A .yn N, tw., F5 lf I were in This year's football team had many obstacles to overcome. Several return- ing lettermen either moved away or were stricken with polio and there was an overabundance of injuries. The Statesmen under Coach Ray Moss and Captain lim Sprick quickly rounded into shape for their first game which was with Granite City. The game was very even during the first half, the score being l4-l2, Webster. The States- men scored once more and Won 2l-l2. ln their next game, at C. B. C., Web- ster lost a hard fought battle 6-O when the Cadets scored on a seventy yard run in the fourth quarter. The Statesmen next faced a strong Wellston eleven, which later played McKinley for the District Champion- ship. The Trojans defeated a fighting Webster team 36-6. The six points made by Webster were the only ones scored against Wellston during the regular season. Fumbles played an important role in the victory of the Normany Vikings over a stubborn group of Websterites. The final score was 20-O. On a fog-shrouded Ritenour field, Webster lost its fourth straight game. The Huskies, no doubt using radar, scored twice in the first half. Webster scored once in the second half of the game. The game ended in a Ritenour victory, 13-7. Undoubtedly the Statesmen played their best game against the Indians of U. City. U. City, celebrating its first Homecoming, went into the game un- defeated and was confident of con- quering the Webster squad. However, when the smoke of battle had cleared it was Webster 18, U. City 7, the upset of the year. Webster lost a heart breaker to Ma- plewood by the score of 14-12. After trailing 14-0 at the half time, the States- men pushed across two touchdowns but failed in the conversion attempts. Only the final gun saved Maplewood for at the finish Webster was threaten- ing again. Next on the schedule was the Ath- letic Injury Fund game with Hannibal. ln this game the Statesmen looked ex- ceedingly strong, completely over- whelming the Pirates 26-12. In the game just prior to the Kirkwood affair Web- ster triumphed over Clayton 13-U. The traditional Turkey Day game with Kirkwood was played on a beau- tiful springlike day before an excited crowd of 8,000. Webster threatened in 0 . Right between the posts!

Kirkwood scored first in the closing moments of the first half on a pass from Webster's forty-eight. Webster came back and scored in the third period on a series of plays start- ing on Kirkwood's forty yard line. Quarterback Bob Stahlhut scored for the Statesmen, and Iirn Sprick kicked the conversion, which was the winning point. During the remainder of the game the ball traveled up and down the field, both teams fighting for an opening. The final score was Webster 7, Kirkwood 6.

Since then it has become one of the most popular of girls' sports. lt is an out-of-door sport that develops quick-thinking and exact timing. To participate in the game a girl must have great physical endurance and a co-oper- ative spiritifor teamwork is essential. The hockey season began soon after school re-opened in the fall. Fourteen teams were formed from all the senior-school girls who signed up. Each team played three or four games with some turning out very favorably. From these teams the most outstanding players were selected to represent their classes. The class teams played games with other schools for two or three weeks. The sophomores, head- ed by lean Deutsch, suffered three losses, but played good games considering it was their first year of action. The juniors, captairied by Ioanne Ruddy, lost to Kirkwood, but defeated Maplewood in an exciting battle. The sen- iors, with Ruth Sullivan as captain, tied their first game with Kirkwood, lost to University City, and upset Maplewood. Varsity team members were chosen from the three class teams. The squad represented Webster in a hockey sports day, held annually at Washington University. Webster was sched- uled to play Clayton. Handicapped by a muddy field, the squad lost the game. Cap- tained by Ioan Himebaugh, the team went on to another loss to Clayton, a victory over Kirkwood, a loss to University City, and cr thrilling game ending in a tie with Maplewood. -118- O rake your turn, qtfis. irfs' ggasketbaff Two hundred and fifty enthusiastic girls turned out for basketball.

Those few democratically chose the remainder of the team on the basis of their ability. To start the inter-scholastic games in tra- ditional style, Webster presented a sports day on February 8. Webster Groves accommodated one-half of the county schools. These Were: Normandy, Brentwood, Maplewood, Bitenour, and Ward Iunior I-Iigh. The first events were the games between the different teams. Our freshmen ended their game in a tie with Maple- wood, the sophomores proved Victorious by winning from Maplewood, the iuniors lost a heart-breaking 4-3 game to Ritenour, and the seniors went down before Normandy. This sports day was very successful, because of the expert planning of Miss Daniel and Miss Crain, who were ably assisted by the Girls' Athletic Association. For the first time the freshment organized a team and played on a schedule similar to that of the other class teams. With Claire Steven- son as their leader, they finished their initial season of inter-scholastic basketball with one tie, one win, and two losses. The sophomores, captained by loan Serth. had a successful season, winning three games and losing only one. Captained by Bebe Phillips, the senior team fought hard against strong competition: but they ended their season with one victory and four defeats. Deutsch, M.

Leedham, l-limebaugh, Leonard, Martin, Parker Phillips, Cook, Davis, Peterson, Higgins Todd, Kirk, Darigo, Dorsett, Koehler Twenty teams were organized from the two hundred and thirteen zealous girls of the Sen- ior High who reported for the volleyball tourna- ment. The schedule covered a period of ap- proximately six weeks. Each team was assigned to play four games, usually not more than one game a week. On March 25 the class teams were chosen. These teams practiced after school for several days, playing each other in order to develop their teamwork. Most of the girls did not play together until they were on a class team: therefore, they had very little knowledge of the ability of the remainder of their team. The class teams this year had some very close and exciting contests with Maplewood, Kirk- wood, Clayton, and University City. After the completion of a very successful class team season, Miss Daniel chose a few members for the varsityg they, in turn, chose the rest of the squad. The team attended an annual volleyball playday and entered into a tournament with the other county schools. This year the girls decided on an official uniform to be worn at all class team and var- sity games. Navy blue or black shorts were required with any kind of a white shirt. White gym socks and white gym shoes were needed to complete the uniform. A11 of Websters teams looked very trim for all the girls com- plied with these rules of dress. -l2O-- Returning Lettermen from 1946 Squad Owen, 1-lirsch, McKelvey, Mr. Gaines Stahlhut, Rau, Tschannen Deuser, Wilson, Nolte, Sick aselmll A large turnout of prospective players greet- ed Coach Gaines as he took over the coaching reins after a four year lapse.

The girls saw many exciting games with Kirkwood, Maplewood, and Ritenour. With the completion of the class team sched- ules, the varsity squad was chosen from the sophomores, juniors, and seniors.

It is hoped that this news will have a cheerful effect on the students and the faculty. This act will result in less cramming by the students and less grading by the teachers. In a hearing given recently be- for the Bored of Education the student witnesses gave as ex- amples questions which had been asked -of them in exams. This re- porter has chosen a select few from the questions which the wit- nesses quoted. These are: What was the color of the feather in the Yeoman's hat in Chaucer's Can- terbury Tales'? Where did the fish come from? Who founded the Turkish 'Capital of Constanti- nople? I am sure you readers will agree that these questions have reached the lowest depths of stupidity and nonsense. By far the worst question of all was quoted by a sorrowful graduating senior who was barely able to walk to the witness chair. Through trembling lips he mum- bled out this question: Why, And give five reasons. TOOK! She took my candy: I held her books. She took my hand in sheltered nooks: She took coke I bought for her: She took my cat that liked to pnrr. She took my words of love and care: She took my heart I was aware. She took my kisses, oh so shy: She took, I must confess, my eye. She took whatever I would buy. And then she took another guy. WANTED: Speech correction- ist for Joan Graham and Mary Stinson. Great Crisis at Hand Much to the distress of the en- tire school body, Webster High is on the brink of losing five of its most up-to-date and recent ad- ditions to the faculty. A battle is now raging between the School Bored and the five teachers, as these rebellious men and women, with an eye to the future, are striking for lower wages. The five on the offensive side of this disastrous situation are Miss Mar- garet Showengert, Miss Laura Pickle, Miss Hazel K. Former. Mr. William Scooltz, and Miss Mary Howerd. Some of the complaints issued by the teachers are related here. Miss Showengert, whose yearly in- come is roughly S25,000 must be driven to and from school by her chauffeur, Julius. Because of this unfortunate situation she fears her driving ability is suffering considerably. Miss Former's chief complaint is that due to her gift of 35000 annually to the Forming- pound Orphanage, the Latin stu- dents are becoming lax in their contributions. Doc Shooltz pa- tiently explains that it is much too expensive to be continually de- molishing his S50,000 trailer by his experiments with his amazing secret discovery made possible through his cyclotron, which was bought after the last 55,000 raise. .Such is the problem at hand. and the student body is prayerful- ly hoping for an understanding decision on the part of the Bored.

Although the article appeared only in the Echo paper, both pub- lications were subject to the pro- visions contained in the banning o1'der. The case, legally titled The Echo vs. the State of Massa- chewisitsf' is now before the State Sup1'eme Court. The defense is being handled by Miss HoWe1'd and Mr. Settel, the sponsors of the accused publications. Any student who has ever had the pleasure of attending a class presided over by either of these two teachers knows that the State of Massachewsits will have little chance to get even a word in edgewise. Miss Mayflower Q. Standish president of the Massachewsits So- ciety of Women's Clubs said, Such articles should not be al- lowed to appear in publications which are read by the innocent students in our public school sys- tem .

We think we have ac- complished this aim very sec- cessfully. The Webster H oller's Ten Commandments 1. Thou shalt not fold the Webster Holler more than twice. 2. Thou shalt not allow the Holler to touch the floor at any time. 3. Thou shalt prepare a clean space in thy home worthy of the Holler. 4. Thou shalt wash thy messy hands before picking up the Holler. 5 Thou shalt hold the Holler at eye level while you are reading it. 6. Thou shalt wear thy finest apparel on Holler distribu- tion days. 7. In public thou shalt read the Holler with joyous laughter. 8. Thou shalt always humble thyself when the Holler is spoken of. 9. Thou shalt not contradict any of the material in the Holler. 10. Thou shalt treasure this issue of the Holler forever and ever. Webster Wins National Amateur Football Championship At last a Webster football team has won the National Amateur Football Championship. The team gained the title on the basis of its undefeated record. Playing strict- ly amateur teams the Statesmen defeated Washington University 72-0. The game was tied, 0-0, until the last six minutes when the Websterites lead by quarter-back Hal Colton, broke lose. Full-back Brossard accounted for thirty-six of the points while Don Roth and Tom Young split the remainder eighteen points. each. WEBSTER STUDENTS HllllEll AS MU After eminent McShew his life llElS UF BEHAVIUR a recent visit here the psychologist, Dr. Wilbur announced that in all he had never seen a quieter or more polite group of high school students as he saw at Webster High. As he entered the building, he took special note o the orderly way the s-tudents lined up and marched to their classes. In the trophy case were orange arm bands with black M's on them, relics of a by- gone day. In assembly the au- dience made not a sound during Dr. McShew's speech, and po- lietly applauded only at the pro- per times. fln respect to be- havior Mr. Settle's study hall had nothing on them.l As he ob- served a student council meeting, he was pleased to see perfect par- liamentary procedure in action. In the lunchroom he noticed stu- dent control was no longer needed. Since the job of teaching has become so tranquil, said Mr. McShew, I believe that teachers earn only half of the salary that they are now receiving.

An excellent plan for this diversion would be the installa- tion of pinball machines in the halls of the first floor. This would enable students to get rid of their excess change in a neat and order- ly manner. Since the students have so much spare time between classes, they could use these minutes in in- serting nickles in the pinball ma- chines. These nickles could be bought for a dime a piece at either of the lunch check counters. A scoreboard could be maintain- ed in the bookie style under the supervision of Mr. Winton. For each student who achieved the grand total of two million or more, a tenth of an unused wad of bubble gum would be blown his way. To those whose score reached fifty million, five hundred tickets -to the world series played by the Philadelphia Phillies and the Philadelphia Athletics would be given. In addition to these generous gifts , the money collected in the pinball machines could be used for starting a Zippy-Cola fund iSee article on Deuserj for the faculty at their weekly meet- ings. This fund would be turned over to Admiral Paul Johnson for safe keeping. ADVERTISEMENTS USE STICK-EM-TITE Do you have lower-plate wob- ble, upper-plate palsy? Use Stick- Em-Tite.

Cola Has Deuser Reeling With That Artistic Feeling, Webster High Paint-Slinger Denies Week-ends Lostg Claims That Sats., Sundays Are Merely M isplaced Everyone on the editorial staff of the Webster Holler agreed that it is quite a shame for such a notorious artist as Chester Deuser to be cursed with such a fanatical longing for drink. We learned only recently that Deuser is hope- lessly addicted to Zippy-Cola. He often goes on sprees for weeks on end, that is, one end or the other. VVhat's worse is he tries to paint and draw while under Zippy-Cola's influence, and the re- sults are what you see around the art l'00m. We sent a reporter around to interview Deuser, and he came back with quite an earful. VVe've taken the data and have written it up on the form of a little melo- drama that we'Ve entitled The Lost Weekend and Several Other Odd Days. Who knows, maybe Deuser's another Salvatore Dali. fThe setting is Deuser's studio. He is lying on the iloor uncon- scious, but he stirs, sits up, and peers around. He speaks groggily.J CHESTER: Where am I? What day is it? Is it Monday? ls the weekend over? Where's the Bottle? WHERE'S THE BOTTLE? I remember now. I was hanging a piece of framed canvas on the wall so I could begin painting a lovely still life of my sleeping cat when it fell on my head.

Communist leaders an- nounced today that the danger- ous American criminal, Billie the Opposite-Way, has at last been caught. He will be brought be- fore the Politburo tomorrow. Soviet police were given a long hard tight by this tough adult delinquent who hails from Web- ster Groves, Missouri, U. S. A. Many charges will be made against Billie. The main com- plaints of the Communist govern- ment are that he took pictures of government officials while off duty and that he spread radical ideas and principles which this government has long abandoned. During a brief interview with this ferocious man, who was be- hind bars, some of Billie the Op- posite-way's past history was brought to light. It seems that the radical ideas which he holds date back to his high school days when the then quiet little Billie was subject to vast amounts of propaganda and slander con- cerning our by-gone principles of the rule of the working class and the equal distribution of money. Even in those days Billie had tendencies to take unwanted pic- tures of people with his trouble- some camera. After graduation from high school Wild and Woolie Willie, as he was then called, drifted into bad company. Having been ousted from one job after another, he finally began work as a photographer and re- porter for an underground news- paper.

Startl- ing as this news may be, it is only a minor part of our astounding scoop. On board the first Rocket Ship to the moon will be the first edition of the Webster Groves '47 Buzz Book, which will linally be pulished on the day of the de- parture. This Earth Shocking An- nouncement was made by Profes- sor Sun Kort Buschman, Dean of Women at Stevens College, Co- lumbia, Missouri. When asked for a statement, he said, Gentlemen, it has been a hard, grueling race between my- self and the building contractor, who is constructing the new Web- ster Gym, and I can honestly say, if my calculations are correct, that the '47 Buzz Books will be on the market four days before the unions decide whose man will install the metal doors. Yes, l can say with all modesty that I have done a grand job. When we asked him what good the Buzz Books would be a hundred years from now, he shrugged his shoulders and said, Ask Lewis Whittemore, and he ran down the street after Joan, WEBSTER T0 PLAY IN GARDEN An invitation to play the Har- lem Globetrotters in Madison Square Garden has been an- nounced by Coach Yates, who ac- cepted in behalf of the basket- ball team.

Q. it will un- doubtedly be Webster's trial and tribulation, the associate editor of The Echo. This editor is noted throughout Webster for her lack of intelligent, disinterest in school affairs, and, to her further credit, her rank as two hundred seventy-eighth out of a class of two hundred seventy-eight. This student's lack of ambi- tion has been and will be a source of inspiration to others for many years. She wisely refused to allow any photographs to be used, for her beauty, like that of Halo Angel's, is more striking when viewed than when photographed. Above is a sketch by one of the staff artists attempting to catch her true beauty. The likeness is quite fantastic!!!! The Editor The position of editor, as ev- eryone knows. is one of the eas- iest on The Echo, The most im- portant requirement for an editor is to be able to look busy and get everyone else to work, while he, himself, does absolutely nothing. In this respect the 1947 editor was a past master. Besides guilding the downfall of the annual. this student re- ceived a great honor. Not only was he voted the student who has done most to put the teach- ing profession back twenty years, but he was also selected as most likely to succeed in getting other people to do his work. Whatever you read about him in years to come. remember. he got his start on the road to rack and ruin on the staff of The Echo.

When that ancient spinner of tales had Prince Charming find his princess by use of the glass slipper, he not only told the Cinderella story, but the first Glass Con- tainer Story. Prince Charming was a man of royal discernment. He Wanted to see to be sure . . . Thus ran the fairy story. Glass containers are no longer fairy stories - they are sales stories.

Here's hoping you have a happy and eventful school year. Members of the faculty enjoyed a very nice picnic at the home of Mr. Hixson today. Many riotous skits were put on by the A Cappella Choir at their annual get-acquainted picnic. lt seems that Miss Hep was a little reluctant about giving her skit, but she promised to do so when the choir least expected it. Webster's football team lost a heartbreaker tonight to a fast C. B. C. team. The crushing blow came in the form of a 72-yard run. The final score was: C. B. C. 6, Webster O. Webster won a place among the thirty schools on the Look Magazine Honor Roll of American Schools. Much credit to our long suffering teachers. There was joy for some and sorrow for others as the senior class averages were given out today. Three years' work C?l summarized in one cold brutal number! We came! We saw! We lost. Wellston, 325 Webster, 6. The first section of the Annual group pictures were taken. lf all the smiles were laid end to end, what a grin that would be. Celebrating the day on which Columbus was fortunate enough to discover America. Vlfebster was unfortunate enough to discover that we lost the game with Normandy, 20-O. Mr. Kenneth Reeves, the National Director of Young People's Work for the Presbyterian Churches, spoke at assembly. His talk concerned the young people's work in war devastated Europe. We hate to admit it BUT Webster lost another game: this time to Bitenour. Score l3-7. Pep Club and G. A. A. combined their annual picnics at Forty Acres. Much fun, merriment, and FOOD! The annual P. T. A. Open House was held tonight with parents meeting their children's teachers and getting the lowdown. Webster wcn from University City today by a score of l8 to 7. A VACATION because of the annual County Teachers' Convention. You KNOW how we hated to leave our studies! We beat Maplewood tonight l4 to l2 on their own home grounds. Rather a dirty trick after they let us use their field, but are we sorry? Tonight the Hannibal eleven went down to defeat, making Webster's third straight victory! Score: Webster 26, Hannibal l2. Because of a wildcat power strike, school was shortened one period today. Somebody tell meewhy don't those ol' wildcats strike for more power oftener? Doctor George Crane, noted psychologist, spoke at a senior school as- sembly today and tried to make us look silly by pulling a simple psychological trick on us. P. S. He succeeded. Our team is really rolling now. We just won our fourth straight game! Webster l3, Clayton U. We all enjoyed a very clever assembly today put on by the Dramatic and Public Speaking Classes. lt will be a long time before we forget Finley, Hirsch, Vigne, and their modes of travel. Performances of the lively comedy Snafu were presented by the Dramatics department on these dates. lt was a very enjoyable show. Webster was enlivened by the second annual pep rally. The speaker was Bob Byrnes, Sports Editor of the Globe Democrat. Student entertainment pro- vided much humor. After an exciting battle Webster won the Turkey Day Game. This leaves the Little Brown lug in Kirkwood's reluctant care. Keep it there, Webster!! The Friendship Dance, which was supposed to be held tonight, was post- poned indefinitely because of the coal strike. If fohn L. Lewis knew that the coal strike was disrupting our dance, he would no doubt send the miners back to work. -147- Dec. 6 Dec. 7 Dec. 13 Dec. 19-20 Dec. 20 Ian. 6 Ian. 8 Ian. ll Ian. 17 Ian. 20-23 Ian. 30 Feb. 11 Feb. 18-22 Feb. 21 Feb. 22 Feb. 27 Mar. 3-5 Mm. 6 Mar. 11 Mar. 19 Mar. 26-29 April 12 April 19 April 26 1.61 fy Our basketball team got off to a good start by winning from C. B. C. Score: Webster 32, C. B. C. 22. Moonlight Serenade dance was held in the Iunior Girls' Gym. Music was furnished by Bob Sherwin's band. Another victory for Webster's basketball team. This time Ritenour played the role of loser to the tune of a 48 to 44 score. Vespers were held for the Iunior and Senior school on these dates. As always it was very beautiful and inspiring. Webster won a hard fought battle against the Wellston five by a one point margin. Score: Webster 26, Wellston 25. In assembly today, W. L. Hutchins of the Missouri State Police spoke on the necessity for curtailment of the automobile accident rates. Two movies were shown which laid bare accident causes and effects. lt was announced by Mr. Latta that a Driving Course was to be included in the school curriculum next semester. At last-a break for pedestrians! Webster chalked up another victory tonight by beating Clayton 36 to 32. Ann Williams was crowned Football Queen at the long-awaited Friendship Dance. Happy memories of the football season! Webster suffered a defeat tonight at the hands of the Maplewood five. Final score: Maplewood 35, Webster 29. An assembly by the Beginning Public Speaking Class, the semester exams and the commencement of the Ianuary Class, all took place during this time. Exciting dazel Another victory by our team. This time it was a hard fought battle against University City. At the end of the game we were on top by a score of 48 to 45. Mr. Iohn F urbay, the Air Education Director of T. W. A., gave a very inter- esting talk on the necessity of cooperation among nations. She Stoops to Conquer was presented in matinee and evening perform- ances. The Dramatics Department did a very effective job in producing this difficult play. Today marked the beginning of a new system of government at Webster High. Its official name is Student Control. Here's hoping it achieves its goal. The Student Council dance, the Clover Clomp, was held in the Iunior Girls' Gym tonight. Music was furnished by Gene Kendall's orchestra. The Beginning Dramatics department presented a very good assembly today. The audience was exceptionally quiet-I wonder why? More six weeks exams. Life is a trap! The radio program, IUNIOR TOWN Meeting, was transcribed from the Little Theater today with Webster students participating. The topic for dis- cussion was Should the Wagner Act Be Amended. It was rebroadcast over Station KXOK this evening. The Iuniors and Seniors clashed in the annual basketball game. Was our Senior dignity upset! The IUNIOBS won 32 to 30. The Modern Language classes held an assembly today in observance of Modern Language Week. It was rather difficult to follow the Spanish, French, and German rattled off during the hour, especially if you are like me and only speak a little broken English. Performances of The Red Mill were presented. Congratulations to Miss Rey and the cast on outstanding performances. The Iuniors held their prom tonight and selected Susie Sturges for their queen. Congratulations, Iuniors, for a wonderful dance. The annual Echo Queen Coronation was held in the auditorium tonight. This very beautiful tradition was viewed by a large audience, and Ann Mar- tindale Was crowned queen amidst the applause of everyone. Corky Schlatter was crowned Kampus King at the G. A. A. Backward Dance. Long live the king! And so the year rolls on. At this moment we have the Senior Prom, Senior Day, Baccalaureate service, and finally graduation to look forward to, but they will soon be over and with them our high school days. I know that none of us will ever forget all the wonderful times we've had at Webster. -148-
