Gerry as he is known to most of us will be long heralded as one who brought cleaner and better athletics to our beloved school. He teaches the Physi- cal Education Classes and coaches the football and baseball teams. We not only think of Gerry as a coach, but also a swell sport with a personality and sense of humor hard to beat. I-le will always remain an A'All American to the stu- dents of Wellston. foul' .l.?1 ,Y ,,,, flllr I nl. Nu' II 1 E 4 F I Wzfsdom sits alone Topmost in Heaven. 'ir 5' 1 F MR. lVllLLARD I-IALTLR R.

During that time he ' has done his utmost to ad- vance the interests of the school. Although princi- r pal, Neb is still as close to the students as he was when he taught industrial arts and coached football MR, DONALD NIB-ECK and basketball teams. Since the government has asked our school to make four hundred model airplanes, we have fully co-operated. These planes are used by the Army, Navy, and O. C. D. for illustrations in their study of aeronautics, in range estimation. recognition of types of planes, and the cone of Hre. Under the supervision of Mr. Charles W. Foraker, head of the Industrial Arts Department, this was able to function without difficulties.

Their entire program has been affected to meet the changing needs of the nation. The shop department teaches students how to make model airplanes to be used by the men in the aircraft service. In the Various other classes, discussions are being centered around the problems that confront us and responsibili- ties each American citizen must bear. Also, much cooperation is being shown in the conserving of paper and supplies. The school newspaper has decreased in size in order to save paper.

History of the Class of 1942 ITI-I the hustle and bustle of freight cars, porters, trunk carriages, and many passengers, we buy our tickets to board the train bound to the past history of ,the Senior Class of 1942. While rushing to our seats we see, through the passenger car windows, familiar faces bobbing up and down. Everyone was waving to some of his friends, and wishing them good luck for the coming events of the future. We find our seats and are comfortably waiting to hear the whistle and the throbbing of the engines ahead. A long, low, vibrating voice yells. All aboard, and off we start on our trip of history. We make our Hrst stop in a little town called Freshman with a population of one hundred and thirty-three. We stop for a few hours and learn that this town had officers, whom we thought very important to list. The president was Vernon Stopke, the vice-president was Imogene Carroll, the secretary was Martha Moll, and the treasurer was Richard Stopke. The elders of the church that sponsored the town were lVliss Griswold and Miss Kruse, The rninutes grew short, so we again boarded our train and continued on our way. We began to talk about the towns that were listed on our map of the state of Wellston. Looking at the timetable, we could see that we were within a few minutes' ride of the next town, Sophomore. The time schedule for this stop was 19:40. We gathered our belongings together and again waited for the train to stop. Stepping down to the platform, we eagerly awaited an opportunity to meet the ofhcers of this town and the elders of the church. We asked a passerby these questions. He replied that the officers were as follows: president, Bob Corby: vice-president, Richard Williams: secretary, Lillian Alberici: and treas- urer, Richard Stopke. He told us the elders that sponsored this town were Miss Drury and Mr. Warner. He said that Lillian Alberici was chosen as the outstanding citizen of the town, Sophomore. We learned the town was made up of clubs, organized to support the town in its activities. Numerous towns! people belonged to these clubs. Some of the clubs were the Library Club. the Art Club, the Camera Club, and the A Cappella Choir. There were three townspeople, of this town who participated in the bookkeeping contest finals for the state of Wellston. They were Doyle Hawkins, Elvira Conrad, and Charles Johnson. We began to notice how quickly the time was passing, so we made our way toward the train. Traveling along at moderate speed, we again consulted our maps in search of the next town. Our next stop would be, according to the timetable, at 19:41, the following day. Having eaten our dinner earlier we went to our berths and fell asleep. The next day we came into the terminal of the town. Junior. This town was well planned and organized. Stepping from the train to the platform, we were handed circulars by a young man making his way in and out amongst the passengers. We began to read, VOTE FOR BOB CORBY FOR STU- DENT BODY PRESIDENT. Walking a little farther down the platform we were handed another circular by another young gentleman. This we also read: VOTE EOR RICHARD STOPKE FOR STUDENT BODY PRESI- DENT. Reading these over again we reached the conclusion that these two were candidates for the presidency of Junior. We learned the names of the officers of this town, who were: president, Earl Kemp: vice-president, Albert Haefner: secretary, Darline Tucker: treasurer, James Eoley, and Prom Chair- man, Robert Schwenck. The elders of the town, Junior. were Miss Whiteford and Mr. Magill. Taking a stroll through the outskirts of the town, we find that the townspeople are engaged in athletics as well as scholastic achievements, Sports played a dominant part in the activities of these townspeople. We learned the names of some of the women who made varsity hockey or basketball. They were: Dot Hoyt, Shirley Carpenter, Vivian Sneed, Margie Wilkenloh, Pearl Howell, Doris Cook,C1retha Paulsen, Mary Houston, Martha Moll, Lil Alberici. Joy Smith, and Darline Tucker.

The participation of the students in the various extra-curricular activities of the school helps to give a Well rounded edu- cation to all who take part. Aside from the usual work of the organiza- tions, clubs. and sports occupying much of the students time, activities which aided our govern- mental agencies in the program of national defense were accepted wholeheartedly by the students. Knitting for the Red Cross, the col- lection of books, newspapers, and magazines, and the conservation of materials and money were a few of the jobs undertaken by some of the clubs. The civilian physical fitness program encour- aged by our government played an important part in the extra-curricular activities of the school. A variety of sports was offered to the students to build strong, healthy bodies. We feel that the educational values derived from after school activities this year have been greater than in past years. and that our nation has been strengthened through these activities. fix III II II XX N ,- - i -133' f i if X, err kf'W?tQf , '7'1,vfe'mg,f'rv'Ti?n'?, ttyl, Y L, 'T5Z ., ' ' 1 ' ' uM 1 1 K ,Q--' Qu 'll' II IH :' : A 1 1 Hack row I'-roeltnun, Abrams, Skngg Klux XVillinms lrronl row Taylor, Bonney, J XX'idnm Ryan, A llmxler, Tucker Art Club First Semester DELORES TAYLOR .

Each student was allowed to choose the write-up that appealed to him most. Then he was held responsible for getting it in on time. Sometimes if the assignment was a little too diflicult for one person, several students put their heads together with the result of a masterpiece. Under the capable guidance of Miss Whiteford the literary details of the book were excellently managed. Miss Summers was in charge of the business end of the book. Anyone Who had the gift of salesmanship and who was interested sold ads. There were times when it seemed impossible to sell certain individuals a space in the book. but in the end the students were usually the victor. Although the publishing of the Welhisco would seem a difficult task, in reality it was a pleasant under- taking of each and every student's co-operating to the fullest to make this yearbook one to be long remembered. If the pages of this book have brought you hours of joy and happiness, we shall feel that it has indeed served its purpose.

Varsity HE Trojan eleven under the excellent coaching of Mr. Stigall and assistant coach Reid displayed a brilliant knowledge of football tactics. The team was successful in five of its nine attempts to overwhelm its opponents. The first game of the season, with Crystal City, ended with Wellston a 6-O victor. Kirkwood visited us next. They went home victorious, Score I3-6. Clayton followed Kirkwood, and after a hard fought battle Clayton came out on top 7-6. The following opponent was St. Charles. and the Trojans took the Pirates for an 8-O loss. The next week the Wellston eleven were defeated by Ritenour. Score lZ-6. Then Dupo visited us, and guess what? 4440 victory for us. Next our team ventured to De Soto. Missouri, and our fighting gridiron heroes were again victorious by a score of 25-O. The follow- ing week was our annual homecoming game with John Burroughs at our field. We again were on top. Score 13-6. The last game of the year was played with Normandy at Normandy. Although Normandys team was con- sidered the best in the county, the Trojans gave them a terrific battle and lost by only seven points. Score again I3-6. Wellston not only had a good season for '41, but also placed Bob Corby at a tackle position on the All County Team . This is the first time in many years that Vwfellston has had the pleasure of witnessing one of its players on the first team. Jim Foley and Eric Pellarinn each received honorable mention. The varsity squad elected two senior boys, Harold Koob and Allen Moore as its co-captains of the '41 season. 4 ,Varsity players that won't be with us next year, due to graduation or inehgibility are: Ends, Allen Moore, Harold Koob. Tackle, Bob Corby. Guard, Earl Kemp. Center, Godfrey Paullinn. Quarterback, Jim Foley. Thirl gy -six S B Football I-IIS year the B team's showing on the gridiron turf was far better than anyone expected. It not only succeeded in winning three of its seven games, but also succeeded in keeping a fighting spirit and good sportsman- ship throughout all games. The experience gained seasoned the players for the varsity squad next year. The squad consisted of sixteen players. ranging from freshmen to seniors. Coach Reid appointed the captains before each game. George Bosler and Don Caudle were the outstanding players of the team. C Football N inexperienced and very much outweighed C team of Wellston battled its way through much heavier opponents to try to bring for itself and its school a very good record. But its hard and consistent playing came to no avail, as the boys from Clayton, Webster, and Kirkwood, proved too much weight and experience. As a result the team lost three games and tied one. Football honors of the year go to Roy Hoskins who played hard, and heads up football throughout the year. Special mention went to K. Kline, W. Verseman, J. NVoodson, B. Greshem. C. Moss, D. Abrams, G. Green, W. Major, W. Barfield. These boys, despite their poor record for the '41 season, deserve a lot of credit for, as they were outweighed in every game, came up with the true Trojan spirit. in that they were in there fighting every minute of the game.

Q a HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF l942 tConIinued from page 193 were: Allen Moore, Bob Corby, Jim Foley, John Flanagan, Harold Wiley, Richard Stopke, Harold Koob, Bill Straughn, and Earl Kemp. We also learned this town had an A Cappella choir. Some of the members were Betty Murphy. Dot Spry, Margie LeMatty, Darline Tucker, Austin Barnett, Sam Bonney, Jack Husted, Charles Johnson, and Earl Kemp. We watched the townspeople engaged in their sports until it grew near our train time. Taking ourselves back to the platform we awaited for the election returns of the two candidates for Student Body President. Before leaving we were told Bob Corby was elected Student Body President for the entire state of Wellston. Stepping into the train the conductor handed us pamphlets stating some of the previous activities of the town. Juniors. When in our seats, we began to read the list of things. First we read about the Junior-Senior Prom which was presented on May 23. The townspeople gave a formal dance for the town Seniors. Many of the Junior townspeople worked like Trojans to obtain the new gymnasium for this occasion.The prom was presented and was a great success.We read how some of the Junior townspeople helped with the Welhisco Dance.There were two young ladies, Margie LeMatty and Darline Tucker, who were chosen Welhisco maids. A murmur of voices attracted our attention. The passengers were asking many questions about the next town we were to visit. This town, Senior, was located on the map as being an hour's ride from this point. According to the timetable we would reach the town at 19:42. All were anxious to arrive because so much had been said about the achievements of the townspeople. The football team, the Senior Play, the basketball team, the spring production, and the baseball team were all talked about with great interest. A well known critic, one of the passengers, said he had the opportunity of visiting this fair city which was a metropolis in itself. He stated that the things seen there would be remembered by all. The train, drawing near the station, slowed down and came to a stop. Before we left, the conductor told us we were only stopping for an hour to take on mail and water. He said to be back by then. Stepping down to the platform we saw the great metropolis. The townsf people looked so young and happy, Their buildings were all white and many had gardens in their back yards. There were several buildings that were very large and puzzling to us. . We asked a young lad what these were and he replied, These are the gymnasium and the auditorium. We asked him who the officers were. He told us they were: president, Charles Johnson: vice-president, James Foley: secretary, Darline Tucker: treasurer, Harold Koob. He said the elders were: Mr. Reid and Miss Whiteford. He told us if we wanted any literature about the town we could go to the home of the president and he would be glad to give it to us. We hurried off and soon arrived at the home of Charles Johnson, the presi- dent. We were cordially invited in, and he gave us all the literature we wanted, After making our way back to the train we made ourselves comfortable. We commenced reading some of the things handed us. We read about the Football Team, the Senior Play, the Spring Production, and the Senior Picnic. The Senior townspeople who acted in the Senior Play were: Vivian Sneed, Sam Bonney, Eva Bergesch, Carmen Denney, Stan Ausbrooks, Jack Husted, Charles Johnson, Walter Shillinger, Billie Brightwell, Bardell Spurgeon, Austin Barnett, Darline Tucker, Helen Phillips, and Betty Murphy. The football team had a very successful season. The outstanding players from the town. Senior, were Harold Koob, Earl Kemp, Allen Moore, Bob Corby, and James Foley. The people from the town who played in the Spring Production were: Stan Ausbrooks, Carmen Denney, Darline Tucker, Sam Bonney, Allen Moore. Bardell Spurgeon, Lorraine Graeler, and Roy Birkmann. The Senior Picnic was an event the townspeople would always remember. So much fun was had at the time. Everyone was happily engaged in reading about these people and did not notice that the train was moving. Slowly we rode away toward the long wide future, leaving the town in our stack of memories.

Our Town XX UR TOWN, Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize Winning play, pre- sented by the senior class on December l2, l942, provided Wellston playgoers with the most novel entertainment ever produced on our local boards. The story of what happens in the lives of a boy and girl who grow up together, marry, have children, and then are parted by the death of the girl was enacted without the aid of any scenery and only a few stage props. Special lighting and off-stage sound effects, however, in addition to the splendid acting on the part of the cast created the illusion of a stage being amply set and the scenery being changed many times. Vivian Sneed in the leading role deserved the many plaudits that were heaped upon her for her sincere and convincing performance as Emily. Sam Bonney, who played opposite her, merits a feather in his cap for the carefully studied portrayal of George he was able to give. ln the supporting cast Carmon Denney and Charles Johnson fairly scintillated with performances that showed a remarkable understanding of their parts. Others deserving men- tion for convincing performances were Eva Bergesch, Helen Philips, Austin Barnett. George Loutkow, Billie Brightwell, and Jack Husted. Miss Niles, in directing the play, made the most of a beautifully written script, staging the production with countless pictorial effects and insisting upon a sincere and realistic reading of the lines at all times. l-iorly-.u1.v Ever Since Eve HE speech department chose Ever Since Eve , a rollicking three-act comedy, for its spring production. The play was presented Friday eve- ning, March 20th, to an almost capacity house. Ever since Eve it has always been a woman that has gotten man into trouble. The turn of events in this play proved no exception, for Johnny Clover, editor of the Preston High School paper, and his assistant, Spud Erwin. run into trouble with a capital T when Susan Blake and Betsy Erwin. Spud's sister, decide the Penquin needs a feminine touch. Although the girls are responsible for the boys taking down with the measles right before the big Christmas edition of the paper comes out and almost bankrupting the school, everything finally Works out for a happy ending. Ever Since Eve is particularly suited to high school students as the characters to be portrayed are all within the grasp of teen-age people. The lines are clever and the action moves fast: a perfect combination for audience response. Gene Muskella, Stanley Ausbrooks, Don Brockman, and Carmen Denny in the leading roles gave outstanding performances. They were ably supported by Darlene Tucker, Lorraine Graeler, Sam Bonney, Krimhilde Wolf, Bardell Spurgeon, John Hulahan, and Bob Lumley. Others in the cast included Donald Codemo, Roy Birkman, Eric Pellarin, and Allen Moore. Gene Husted and Ralph Streicher were initiated into the ranks of the stage crew serving as stage manager and light technician respectively. The staging and directing of the show were in the competent hands of Miss Niles, who also designed the set. . 3,-1--1 Forty-seven Homecoming Dance ur MARGY LE MATTY Quem 1 XJIVIAN SN l orIy-eight ISI-D DORIS Cooli NIARY JANE HOUSTON 5 , Welbisco Dance MARTHA MOLL Queen VIVIAN SNEED MARX' JANE HOUSTON SHIRLEY CARPENTER LII.I.IAN AIBIER For! y - m ru' ICI Fi ' .
