Board ol Eolucation The Board of Education is the guiding light of the Wellston schools. We feel that it is par- ticularly apropos to express on this, the board's page, our sincerest appreciation for its untiring effort and arduous work in the erection of the new high school. Completion of the new build- ing is only one instance of the many, many things the board accomplishes in behalf of the students and community. Each of the six members serves three years, but the terms of only two members expire each year and a popular vote fills these two vacan- cies. Secretary of the board is selected by the members. This person must HOI be an active member of the board. President MR. FRED Gossom Vice-President DR. IRL Hicits Treasurer MR, LEROY HousToN Secretary MRS. GEORGE PERCIVAL MR. G. SCOTT RICHMOND MR.

A friendly spirit of companionship was enjoyed from the humble freshman to the dignified senior because each sought to extend his own sphere of influ- ence a little further until it enveloped completely his fellow-companions. The classes were known for the variety displayed in each whether in athletic, social, or scholastic achievement. Because of this diversity in both word and action, each and everyone has been enabled to carry away with him in the years to come, treasured memories of hours of diligent application, sincere effort, and a constant striving in the sportsmanlike way so vitally close to the heart of every individual in the entire school.

To certain individuals the number of the activities may have seemed limited in some respects, but the students can truthfully say that enough was offered to fulfill very generously the needs of the average person. The proud Trojans of Wellston, as well as her equally famous daughters. never once faltered when duty beckoned, but marched fearlessly to combat whether it was in dramatics, music, or athletics. Each club was given the undivided support of its members and as a result, every undertaking met with constant success. The outcome in athletics was evenly distributed between the girls and boys. Recognition was given to the musical groups and considerable praise was extended to the actors and actresses for their display of dramatic ability. The activities aforesaid truly prove the ideals and sportsmanship valued so highly by Wellston students. Twenty three fi'-.-i . ' ' - .-,' ,,.lp,, r ,W . . l m K - 4 Wd' .3 - L ' K4 .

MISS JONES During the school year of 1940-41 the Girl Reserves were active in many projects. Among them were the knitting of sweaters. the making of baby dresses, booties and bonnets for the Red Cross. The work was enjoyed by everyone who participated. After eighteen hours of work, the girls received a Red Cross emblem which symbolizes their service work for the American Red Cross. These garments when finished were sent to England to help clothe the refugee children. Every year the girls hold a Candlelight Service and present the new officers and members. The Girl Reserves donated money, as well as fruit. vegetables and canned food. for the Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets. ' ln September. the officers attended a conference at Camp Friloha to aid them in planning for their club programs for the year and to exchange ideas with girls from other clubs. ln April the Wellston Girl Reserve Club was represented at the Tri-City Conference at the Y. W. C. A. This conference was made up of girls from Alton, East St, Louis. St. Louis and St. Louis County. The day was spent in attending discussion meetings and participating in various recreations. The Girl Reserves' sixtieth birthday party was held at the Y. XV. C. A. on April 26. Many of the girls attended and a contribution was given by the club to aid the Y. W. C. A. in support of the work being done with girls in China. Great Britain. the Continent, and for refugees. The contributions will also provide for camp scholarships. The most exciting event of the Girl Reserves program was the week-end trip to Camp Montebello. Over half of the members attended and everyone reported a grand time.

There were ninety members, which met twice a week as a regular school subject, receiving M of a point credit. The A Cappella Choir, a smaller group of twenty-eight members was quite active this year. They appeared before P.-T. A. meetings, auditorium sessions, and church affairs. The Girls' Choir composed of sixteen members sang at the Musical Festival held at University City High School. They received a high rating as did the soloists from this group, Elizabeth Stuart and Evelyn Lloyd. Two years ago a band was organized under the direction of Mr. Eugene Van Meter assisted by Mr. Donald Hackett. The members of this band come from high, junior, and elementary schools. They have made great progress. This year was their first appearance. They played for the P.-T. A. who has helped to sponsor it and before an auditorium session. We wish for them every success.

The staff, under the direction of its sponsor, Miss Achauer, proved President . . . . to be one of the most active organizations in WALTER SHILLINGER school. It purchased attractive charms, indica- tive of membership. A new idea adopted by the staff was that of electing honorary members, Secremry and students who aided the staff in various ways, Treasurer but who did not work regularly. The members were divided into committees who decorated EXIELYN BRAUCKSIEKER the bulletin boards in the library bi-Weekly according to their own ideas. Book Week was given much consideration and as a result several displays were made, and an auditorium session was given. Clyde Oberlin was given the task of reporting our activities to the Flash- light-a task he performed excellently. To pay for its picture in the Welhisco, the staff gave a Bake Sale and each member was assessed small dues for two weeks. Money was raised for a gift to the library by selling shorthand notebooks, refreshments at the Backward Dance, candy, and newspapers. The group enjoyed a spread in the fall, and several feasts before the fireplace. The library staff was host to the junior high librarians at a Christmas party given in the library. A bus trip was taken to several libraries where practical ideas were obtained for use in our own library. Another trip took the group to the Freund Bakery, The final social event of the year was a picnic. l-ronl row' Schubert, XVoIfu, Rosemuycr, Braucksickcr, Second row: Srlgnll, Powers.

On November 12 the Flashlight staff published its twentieth anniversary edition, celebrating the twentieth year of continuous publication. For the Hrst time in the history of the paper the staff edited one edition by itself without the aid of the journalism teacher. Space for paid political advertisements was provided for the Hrst time. A one-page extra, the first venture in extras, was printed, announcing the election of the Student President on April 23. Dorothy McMorris and Clyde Oberlin were accepted into Quill and Scroll.

Jaw- f ' Wellw The College Preparatory Class has looked upon the issuing of the Welhisco not as a difficult job, made up of many hours of tedious labor, but as a delightful undertaking, composed of numerous pleasant hours of original com- position and mechanical operation, with the sole idea of pleasing and enter- taining you, our fellow-students. Each student was allowed to choose his own type of work and carry it out in his own manner, either individually or with a group. As a result, then, the Hnished piece was a superior product of that student's own particular interest. The literary side of the Welhisco was supervised by Miss Whiteford, under whose capable and skillful direction the students were enabled to combine so much information within the limited confines of this book. Miss Summers aided immeasurably by assisting the students in collecting the necessary ads and all the other things imperative to the business portion of issuing the Welhisco. The entire staff of teachers, officers of the various clubs, and those vested with artistic ability lent their assistance with a decided spirit of cooperation through which permeated the enduring qualities of loyalty, generosity, and cheerfulness. Many hours were spent in diligent research and intense assembling of the various phases of effort that constitute this book but all of it was looked upon as a glorious adventure, the termination of which we were sorry to reach. We have endeavored to embody between the covers of this book, the standards and ideals of which we have every reason to be proud, and as a result. we present to you, fellow-students, the Hnished product, the annual Welhisco.

At an induction ceremony held on April ll, 1941. the following members were elected: Lillian Alberici, Charles Johnson, and Walter Shillinger. Club OFFICERS The Art Club was founded in 193-l and at present is sponsored by Miss Williams. ' President GEORGE BOSLER Vice- President DELORES TAYLOR Secretary VERNETTA EYSTER The club was formed with the intention of helping those students interested in art, but not necessarily those who take art. In previous years only art students were allowed to join but this year anyone who so desired could belong. This year, the group had a different member take charge of each meeting and appropriate programs were given. The members showed their talent by coloring Easter eggs which were hidden in Forest Park and later retrieved. Several hikes have been given. and many good times were had making candy and playing games. Visual Eciuca The Visual Education Club was formed shortly after the beginning of the second semester this year. All those who were interested in learning to operate the motion-picture machine and the slide projectors were eligible for membership. About fifteen boys were enrolled and have been used as operators for the class and auditorium showings of films mainly secured through the University of Missouri. Five or six reels of educational and entertaining Elms were available each week during April and May. These were shown to groups on two days: from six hundred to 1,250 students saw the pictures each week. .TV :'n' V ' ..

Through the years Wellston's football teams have acquired certain charac- teristics which seem to be found in every eleven, year after year. Most prominent of these earmarks, smallness in size, and greatness of spirit, were inherited by the 1940 aggregation as they had been by many Trojan gridders before them. lnvariably outweighed by other schools, fifteen and twenty pounds to the man, Wellston, in keeping with precedent, displayed a tremendous amount of courageous, determined fight. Seasons record for 1940 was one victory, one tie, in eight games. The team paid high tribute when one of its veteran players, Bob Moss, was chosen as guard on the All-District second team. A mid-season mishap in the form of Al Cassidy's broken thumb weighed heavily on the fortunes of the team as Al was one of our best backs. Loss of Claud Williams, Al Cassidy, Bob Moss, Bill Moss, Stanley Dodd, Mevlin Roche, Bernard Einspanier, and Rudy Reitz in June will leave many places to be filled next year: but it is felt that next year will be Wellston's year in football because of the unusually large supply of experienced sophomores and juniors that will be on hand. Also returning will be Wellston's brilliant tackle, and Captain of this year's team, Bob Corby. 'Q 5... ' .l H H Football Oft heard quotation 'and indeed a true one. is that one about how you played the game. This is even more appropriate when applied to a C team. Primarily a school in which the younger boys learn to play the game clean and hard, the C team receives great benefits from losses and victories alike. The 1940 C team, under the direction of Mr. Keller, newcomer to the junior high faculty, was constituted by hard-working boys who played the game for all they were worth. Valuable instruction and experience was received by them. That's all that can be asked of any UC team or its coach, Thus the Wellston UC team accomplished its purpose in 1940.

Mary Passananiti and Ellrietta Durrwachter, sopho- mores, showed unusual ability by making the varsity team so early in their careers.

The team did not win many games, but we feel that they won moral victories, Each game that was played, win or lose, the fellows emerged with some knowledge of what they should do or should not do. The team went through a tough schedule of sixteen games winning one and well, you can guess the rest. The team was entered in the Normandy Invitational Tournament where they reached the finals in the Consolation Bracket of the Green Tournament. The boys were also entered in the regional tournament at University City, their opponent being Webster Groves: however, they were eliminated after a hard game. The B Team managed to do a little better than the varsity. They came through with four victories out of fourteen scheduled games. They also man- aged to give the varsity some tough tussles in practice. Richard Stopke and Wm. Straughn were usually on top in the scoring column for the B squad.

The schedule called for four dual meets during the regular season. The initial meet was with Principia at their Held and the Trojans were heavily outmatched. Principia won the meet by a 89 to 24 score. In a junior meet with the St. Charles Pirates, Wellston again came off second best. The final score this time was 79 to 34. Participating entirely out of their class, the Trojans were swamped by Fairview's superior team by a score of lOl to l2. Wellston showed a little better form in its last meet of the season with Clayton. The Trojans lost a hotly contested meet by a score of 65 to 39. Although the team had very little success this year, everyone was doing his best and deserves no little credit for that. Letters were awarded to six boys this year. They were Co-captains Art Kossman and Elmer Knapp who registered 2691 and 2514 points respectively, Herbert Wyatt who gained l5, Don MacGill with 7 points, Edwin Krueger who had 5, and 'Art Trulaske who also had 5 points.

The bowlers managed to get a special rate with the Wellston Bowling Alleys on the price per game. They were allowed to bowl for ten cents per game instead of the usual twenty. Although most of the bowlers were boys. some of the girls were interested. The boys divided themselves into teams with four on each team and had an intramural tournament, During the course of the season the ten boys with the highest averages were chosen to bowl different schools. The averages were computed by Al Haefner, who was secretary of the club for two years. The five with the highest averages constituted the Hrst team and 'the remaining five formed the second. Both teams won from Normandy High two times and also out-scored Ben Blewett High. The members were Bernard Einspanier, Rudy Reitz, Richard Stopke, William Straughn, Fred Moll. Billy Fine, and Jack Spieler. Six players participated in a match while the total seven alternated. The team started the season by losing its first match to Webster Groves by a narrow margin. In the next match the team lost to Kirkwood by a very few strokes which put confidence into the team City. The team had the excellent guidance of Mr. Fisher, who has coached it for the last few years.

Today, things are slightly changed: the parents are just as proud and dote just as much, but they've developed a tendency to be proud and to dote only when it is justihed by the performance. The senior play of 1940, What a Life , by Clifford Goldsmith was presented in such a way as to literally declare, loud and long, an open season for cloting. The play, which is the origin of the ludicrous but lovable character, Henry Aldrich, was generously received by the audience, some of Whom arrived after the standing room only sign had been hung on the box oflice. As may be expected, the Henry of the cast, Sturdy Sharp, came close to terrinc in his characterization. But Mary Coates, Dorothy McMorris, Lloyd Semon, Vernetta Eyster, Walter Robertson, and Melba Smith, who had the choice supporting roles, kept him on his toes with their enactments. Wallace Tinsley, Vernon Verity, Herbert Wyatt, Dorothy Harmon, Elizabeth Stuart, Donald Mitchell, and Clyde Oberlin also gave able support. The charm of this three course comedy, which easily measured up to the high caliber of recent Wellston productions, was enhanced by the beauty and efficiency of the new lighting and stage equipment. lt was under the usual good direction of Miss Niles.

The play. moving at a high rate of speed. had many thrilling climaxes that were executed most deftly with the aid of clever lighting and sound effects. The cast of necessity had to be carefully chosen since all the parts called for adult and ultra sophisticated roles. For high school students several of the characterizations deserve superior rating. Mary Le Matty. who had the best written role. perhaps gave the most spectacular perform- ance. Bernard Einspanier and Dorothy McMorris were both convincing as the Irish politician and the leader of the New Orleans society respectively, Mary Jane Houston was easy on the eyes as the rising young Hollywood actress. However, for consistent playing and an intelligent understanding of his roll, Sturdy Sharp should have the palm. Several newcomers. Robert Schwenck. Richard XVilliams. Donald Brockman. and Sam Bonney show promise of swelling our thespian ranks for the next year. The handsome set representing a beautifully furnished penthouse apartment was the work of Miss Niles and her speech students. Miss Niles again acted in the dual capacity of director and scene designer. Back row: Mary Jane Houston, Bernard Einspanicr, Margie LaMatry. Lloyd Semon. Herbert XYyatr, Richard NVilliams.

In the crew were: Charles Treece, Eunice Chaudoin, Florence Gehlert, and Rudolph Reitz, with Rosemary Kase, Jack Noble, and Herbert Wyatt, who, under the administration of Miss Griswold and Mr. Christian, were helping to keep the wheels rolling. The passengers had many varied interests on the first lap of the journey beside the search for greater learning.
