This yearbook is dedicated to five ships of school life, namely: Leadership, Scholarship, Citizenship, Sportsmanship, and Friendship. It also signifies the launching of yet another ship-the Class of 1949-which, cast loose from its moorings, rides the waves to distant ports. The journey demands vision, courage, and perseverance as opportunities and chal- lenges develop into the experiences of every- day living. School days are but a laboratory for the interesting world of tomorrow which is seek- ing persons of stature to give it direction and balance. The record of science indicates new discoveries in many areas of life will be LEONARD A. STEGER Superintendent of Schools made at an ever-accelerating pace.

W , i Q? . 0 s N fl ' HOWARD A. LATTA Principal of High School Caasmcx ' Mull. QAMQY-vNfws45v N- yan. ug ,, .0f.l9.Li.. 1 ation of The Echo 4 to the Ships of Life not only uniquely expresses points of emphasis in school experience but for all of life. If mankind's values of life could be as mature as the ideals expressed in fine Leadership, Scholarship, Citizenship, Sportsmanship, and Friendship at the high school age, how different our national and international life would be. Unselfish Leadership, whether it is that of a straight-forward follower or that of a cour- ageous front-line leader, points the direction to a richer, fuller experience for all. Earnest Scholarship seeks truth, spurns intolerance, prejudice and half-truths, and gives us the wiser course of action. Responsible Citizen- ship recognizes the basic rights of all in the small group or in the school as a wholeg it places an obligation upon our individual and collective action on behalf of the welfare of all. Good Sportsmanship challenges our best performance on a basis of fair play and acknowledges the Worthy qualities of an opponent. At Webster Groves High School sincere, fun-loving Friendship sustains us through points of difference and misunder- standings. These Ships, these qualities, earnestly pur- sued and well blended are the essence of a rich school life--the essence of all real life. HOWARD A. LATTA, Principal. Where's that bill ? .
