Come and join our happy chorus For Wellston let us sing, Oh, let the halls of Glory With our sacred anthem ring. II Lo, the banner high is floating, lts defenders we must stand, To guard the name of Wellston We must form a sturdy band. Then success will er' be with us ln basket ball or track To guard the name of Wellston May there be no strength to lack. III And when the years have vanished When time has passed away, With tears we'll all remember Things of a brighter day. And in our thoughts with sadness We'll quietly steal back To the day of dear old Wellston And the glorious Red and Black. -A. E Efhv Svrhnnl 'hr Baath nf 3 huratinn The majority of the members of the board of education have served more than a single term, which is three years. Mr. Driemeyer has served fourteen years, ,Mr. Williams eleven years, Mr. Eoff eight years, Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Percival each four years, and Mr. Hill three years. Many improvements that have betterecl the conditions of the Wellston Schools have been made by this board, the most outstanding ones being the building of the new high school, an addition to the Wellsmar Schoolg raising the front of the Ella Avenue School, thus giving it a beautiful lawng and, finally, adding two new rooms to the high school building. The entire record of this board is one of untiring and unselflsh service to the Wellston public schools.

Page Eleven Page Twelve Friends I meet as I grow older, But not better friends than these. Later years mean hearts grown colder, Lacking earlier memories. Later years mean hearts less faithful, Filled with thoughts of selfishnessg Here, from souls as frank as youthful, Comes the love my life shall bless. Here between us no concealment Lies within the outstretched hand, Here we give ourselves revealment Firmly, truly, do we stand: Here's no wrong that needs correction Classmates, every one a friend, In the bonds of firm affection Bound together to the end. 19 SENIOR S 27 Svminr 0112155 1927 Gulnra Old Rose and Silver lflilnxnrr Ophelia Rose Qllann Qbffirvrn Jerre S.

Qlnrnnatinn nf the Hivllginrn fLDnvvn On March 15, 1927, in the high school auditorium, occurred the crown- ing of the Welhisco Queen for the year 1927-28. Lucille Medina, a member of the Sophomore Class, was selected as queen by votes secured through the efforts of her classmates and friends-thus securing an honor which speaks well for her good citizenship and sportsmanship. Lucille had as her atten- dants four maids-of-honor, Minnie Hall, Eloise Smith, Gertrude Von Gruben, and Dorothy Hartman, who, like the queen, were chosen on the basis of conspicuous good citizenship and by the vote of the entire school. ln the presence of a courtly group consisting of her own maids-of-honor, the presidents of the various classes, the attendants of the new sovereign, and members of the Welhisco staff, to say nothing of the large audience of patrons and friends of Wellston High School, the retiring queen, Catherine Brill, of the 1926 Welhisco, placed on Lucille's head a crown, fashioned of daffodils and white sweet peas, transferring to her the sovereignty of the kingdom of love and beauty for the ensuing year. After the crowning a program was given in honor of the new queen, Lillie Burnett danced The Swan , and Roy Ulrich and Ray Oth sang. Following this program was an hour of social dancing for all who wished to take part. Page Tzvcnty-four E112 melhiarn Qburrn Page Twen ty-five 1 Page Twenty-six STAFF 93 J if S .

Ray Oth The club included in its program of activities the awarding of a hundred dollar scholarship. Weekly hot dog sales and a benefit dance restricted to former students and the present school population, were given to finance the project. A football ticket-selling contest with the Girl Reserves ended with the Hi-Y Club the losers. A dance and a social evening were given in honor of the victors. Tradition has it that boy's appetities cannot be satisfied. The mothers of the P. T. A. shattered that theory by serving to the club a most delicious, and at the same time, a very sufficient supper. The spirit of the club is service to others. The entire personnel of the club is actively engaged in promoting not only their own welfare, but the activities of other organizations as well. Page Thirty-one Ellis Bramatir Qllnh The Dramatic Club was organized on the twenty-fourth of September. Dorothy Lanford was elected presiclentg Virgil Koch, vice-president: Bernice Dietz, secretaryg Dorothy Hartman, treasurer. The first two plays were given December the third. They were The Florist Shop, and Two Crooks and a Lady. The Florist Shop is about Mr. Jackson fRay Griffinl and his fiancee, Miss Wells fDelthine Abell, who have been engaged for fifteen years, and whose wedding is hastened by Mr. Jackson's jealousy of a mysterious admirer of ,Miss Wells, who has been send- ing her orchids. Ray Oth, as Slovsky, the proprietor of the shop, and Virgil Koch, as Henry, the fresh office boy were quite good. Two Crooks and a Lady dealt with the way in which an old lady CVirginia Williamsl completely paralized, outwitted two crooks who were trying to steal the famous Thirty-three necklace. It was quite a dramatic play, crowded with tense moments. In March, The Dear Departed and The Ghost Story were presented. ln The Dear Departed, the eager appropriation of Grandpa's property was interrupted by the reappearance of Grandpa fKing Crawford, himself, very much alive. ln The Ghost Story , Sarah Whitley's helpful Yes, George, brought about the desired happy ending. The club sincerely appreciates the interest and efforts of its directors, Miss Ballman and Miss Butler, to whose coaching the success of the plays was largely due.

Harding As a result of interest aroused by a debate between the junior and Senior History Classes, a Debating Club was organized early in March. This was too late in the school year to allow participation in the debates of the interscholastic league, but a number of practice debates have been given within the club. A constitution drawn up by the charter members requires that a candi- date for membership have and maintain an ,M average in his studies, and that he make a satisfactory three-minute speech before the club.

It started out with only a few members, but the number steadily increased until it now has twelve active members. At a special meeting the girls chose Schubert as their name and elected Emily Wahlbrink as presi- dent, and jewel Tomlinson as secretary-treasurer. Wednesday was chosen as the day for meeting. The club has not yet chosen a pin, but is considering designs for one. This club is the first of its kind in the history of Wellston High School, and has already gained a name for itself by taking part in many of the school affairs. The first appearance of the club was at the recital given for the Parent-Teacher's Association. It helped with the Musical Comedy also, and sang at the Commencement exer- cises. Page 'l'hirty-five 1112 Gbrrhvnira Our High School orchestra is a new feature this year and has been quite a success. The orchestra made its initial appearance before the student body early in the second semester and has played for various activities since.

It is fiesta time in the romantic city of Barcelona. Margarita and her friends are in the Plaza, singing, dancing, and lauding the great toreador, Emilio, fCicardi Brucel. Lieutenant Wright and his friend, Patrick Malone, fRay Othl, go to Barcelona as customs inspectors. While walking in the Plaza, Lieutenant Wright Finds a mantilla to which a silver pin is attached. He recognizes the pin as one he has given .Margarita in Washington. Harold and Margarita meet, but he learns that she has become engaged by her parents to a scheming Spanish nobleman. Suspecting the nobleman of being responsible for certain alleged con- ditions at the custom house, Harold begins an investigation 'that leads to some surprising discoveries. Margarita, of course, is released from her engage- ment, and her parents give their consent to her marriage with Lieutenant Wright.

This is proved by the fact that at that time there gathered from all parts of the world youths and maidens to form an extraordinary class. They were destined to achieve great things. The members contrary to the usual belief, were not green. But after being ridiculed and humbled by the upper classmen, they came to realize that, after all, perhaps they were a trifle inferior. They were informed by means foul and fair that they should swallow the bitter pill of knowledge which was not even sugar-coated. There were fifty-four earnest, striving souls in this ambitious group. The usual procedure being followed, they elected Dorothy Oth president, Ray Oth vice-president, and August Zeltman secretary-treasurer. Even at this tender age, some of the frosh served their school by participating in athletics, plays, and various organizations. Ray Oth and John .lVlcCready made the teams in football and basketball. Ray Oth, Roy Ulrich, Virgil Koch, john .lVlcCready, Anice Hydar, August Zeltman, Lawrence Schuette all shone on the baseball team. We wonder what these teams would have done without these fine young men. There were only two girls, however, who dis- played their athletic abilities. Dorothy Lanford and Edna Birdnow made the girls' basketball team for that year. The class joined in with several social events. They gave the annual Halloween Party to the upper classmen. They attached themselves to various clubs, and Marie Oth was elected presi- dent of the Home Economics Club. Several girls assisted the Dramatic Club in the presentation of The Twelve Old Maids and Sophronia's Wedding. During the summer vacation, several students dropped by the wayside. Only thirty-three aspiring persons were left to make up a Sophomore Class. Ray Oth was elected presiclentg Harold Sigman, vice-president: and Marie Page Forty QL A.s sb.. AJLCSDAQ ttfQvG5RWX57QY?U3 Oth, secretary-treasurer. This year they proved their worth to a greater extent. Sophomores were on the Flashlight staff and took part in the musical comedy. Edna Birdnow was elected to the Athletic Board. The Dramatic Club was again aided by these generous Sophomores in The Hoodoo . Several of the boys became members of the Hi-Y Club. Jinks Gossom, John McCready, Ray Oth, Roy Ulrich, August Zeltman, and Virgil Koch took part in all of the sports and came to be the standbys of the teams. The girls showed their superiority over the rest of the feminine element of the school, as the Sophomore basketball team was the champion girls' team of the school. Dorothy Lanford, Lillie Burnett, Delthine Abell, and Edna Birdnow were on this team. 'Roy Ulrich distinguished himself by becoming state junior bicycle champion of Missouri and later second national champion. Sweaters in athletics were awarded to several of the boys and girls. They also proved the extent of their mind development by gaining honors in an intelligence test. As juniors, they became the outstanding feature of our dear old Alma Mater. The class was rapidly dwindling, but there remained twenty-four loyal survivors. Two new members were added to this class in the persons of Ernest Birge and Robert Jackson. Rebul England was elected president, Harold Sigman, vice-presidentg and Virgil Koch, secretary-treasurer. ln originality, genius, and invention, this class was unsurpassed. This year the class had the honor of editing the Welhisco, with Dorothy Oth as editor-in- chief. Ernest Birge was one of the cheerleaders and proved himself a peppy one. Rebul England and Dorothy Oth were maids of honor to the Welhisco Queen. Dorothy Oth was president of the Girl Reserve Club. When the Music Department had Love in a Dutch Garden the cast was made up of several of the Juniors. The Ukelele Club was headed by Delthine Abell. Herbert Cossom was elected captain of the football team: Ray Oth was captain of the basketball team. ln the greatest athletic achievement of the ' Page Forty-one Op C'-LN. QQQCXf.l.b 53,30 tssvastwlsfsn year, the capture of the county championship in baseball, many of the players were Juniors. Mr. Halter has admitted that no other class so enterprising has entered the stately portals of the chemistry room. The climax to their career was the Senior year. They entered school fully prepared to accomplish great deeds. Herbert Gossom was elected president: Victor Rutzke, vice-presidentg and Viola Gorden, secretary- treasurer. This Class of '27 worked at their studies with a vim for they had at last acquired seriousness and had the determined air of graduate or die in the attempt. lVlr. Halter and Miss Womack had become accustomed to depending on this class for athletic material. The football team was made up of many of the Seniors, and had Ray Oth as its captain. Seniors entered the basketball season with a bang. With links as captain, and Oth and Cookie also representing the class, the team won every game they played. Not satified with that they defeated the St. Louis teams and became St. Louis and St. Louis County Basketball Champions. The reader is asked to keep in mind that three of the five members of this team were Seniors. There were also three Seniors on the girls' basketball team. These were Lillie Burnett, Dorothy Lanford, and Edna Birdnow, who was elected captain for the second successive year. Herbert Gossom was elected president of the Hi-Y Club and Marie Oth president of the Girl Reserve. Dorothy Oth was editor-in-chief of the Flashlight. Dorothy Lanford was president of the Dramatic Club. Many of the Seniors assisted with the musical comedy. Harold Sigman received a scholarship W for three successive years. Rebul England was elected to the Athletic Board. This narrative of the Senior Class should not be closed without a men- tion of the particularly talented members. The most famed of these, perhaps, are the l-lotsy-Totsy Twins, Ray Oth and Virgil Koch. They entertained at several affairs and sang over the radio. We must not neglect to tell of Joseph Feigenbaum, gifted violinistg Lillie Burnett, aesthetic dancer: Delthine Abell, soprano singerg and Viola Gordon, a champion typist. As the class passes out into the grim, cruel world they appreciate the knowledge they have gained from their dear old W. H. S. and are grateful to the faculty for their interest in their welfare.

Senior Class, Weilston High School. 1 age Forty-six Ihr M Zganquvt For several years the greatest event of the school term to those not in 'the graduating class fand, perhaps to some in itl has been the W Banquet. Not because of the speeches, although these are often excellent and some- times entertainingg not even bcause of the food, although that is always deliciously satisfactory, nor because of the unwontedly ceremonious apparel worn by those fortunate enough to be within the note of expectation does this occasion hold its place of prestige. True, all these are contributing factors. But the real reason is that on this june evening there are placed in our hands the visible symbols of outstanding achievements accomplished during the school year-trophies, often, of many a hard-fought field, where victory was won over a difficult athletic opponent, or over a tedious course, or, more important still, over self. ln connection with this year's banquet there is one source of disappoint- ment and regret. No scholarship letter will be awarded. No student has an undisputable E average, although several approach it. No debating W's can be awarded, because our debating club was organized too late to participate in the league contests. Athletic awards will be made as follows: Girls' Basketball: letters to Edna Birdnow, captain, Lillie Burnett, Ber- nice Dietz, Minnie Hall, Dorothy Lanford and Virginia Williams. Numerals to Loretta Burnett, Lola Davis, Florence Evans, Pearl Hewitt, Ruth Richter, Viola Silvey, and .Mary Louise Morie.

Wellston then went clown before the Uni- versity City eleven, 7-0, on October 15. On October 21, the Wellston team journeyed to Washington, Missouri, only to Fight a nothing to nothing tie. The next game was a hard-fought one with Ranken on October 29, which Wellston lost, 3-0. On November 5, Clayton, too, defeated Wellston, 6-0. On account of ineligible players, Ferguson was forced to forfeit to Wellston on November 12. On Thanksgiving Day Wellston lost a mud battle to Normandy, 2--0.

Now, the students and patrons of Wellston High School are of the opinion that the baseball nine of '26 did a very good turn when they won seven consecutive victories to gain the St. Louis County Championship. The I927 aggregation of ball tossers is unanimous in the sentiment that the performance should be repeated, although this book goes to press too early in the season for us to record a final verdict. With Captain Koch at short, links Gossom catch- ing, Ray Oth, Shorty Laneman, and Roy Ulrich in the outfield, and Red Scott at third, the Coach had a very good nucleus for a winning combination. Kenny Houston and Tom Morris were the chief contenders for first base, which was so ably taken care of in other years by Lefty Wiseman. Vic Van Loon inherited his brother ,Iohn's place at second. Cicardi Bruce and Everett Werremeyer have sufficient stuff to take care of the pitching assignment, and thus become successors to Barney McGinnis, our star hurler of last year, who graduated from our ranks. Harold Sigman took over Ray Oth's outfield position in a very creditable manner when Ray's absence from the line-up was enforced by a knee injury during the basketball season. As we go to press, the prospects for a repetition of last year's performance are excellent. The team has the proper combination of ability, experience, and confidence to lead the parade for another season.

This was quite a surprise, as U. City has defeated Wellston for several years. Wellston then won three successive games from Jennings, Ferguson, and Hancock: winning from Jennings, 28-105 from Ferguson, 33-I4g and from Hancock, I9-3. The season was closed by Wellston playing Webster on Webster's Hoor, the score at the end being 23-I l, in Webster's favor.
