There were, as I remember, exactly a hundred of us in that class of 63. Bayless High was located in Affton, MO. a suburb to the South of St. Louis. Merle was the high school physics teacher. Helen and Jim were remarkable actors, appearing in the school plays. Helen was also an extraordinary poet. And Pat is a great friend, poet in his own way, who has seen the world and finds solace out at sea.

Thanks Pat!
The Oracle 63 is here and I'll feed it to my scanner for http://www.baylesshigh.com It was awesome of you to send it! We need more pictures, movies?, sound clips, etc. because I'm big on multimedia web sites.

99 or 100? We going to need some folks here. I've put out a request to Bayless High for Kay Mallards contact information, her being a sort of keeper of the flame.

Gail Egendoerfer
I opened the Oracle at random tonight and picked the first person I would try to contact. It was Gail Egendoerfer who is now Gail Agnew. She still lives in St. Louis after a couple of trips to Florida. Her son lives in Rome, Italy and they communicate via email. He ducks in to a cybercafe to stay in touch. Remember Gail? She was a cheerleader, a pert blonde, and went with an older guy (not from our school). She's on page 16 of the Oracle, along with Carol Endermuhle, Patricia Emery, Richard Fava, and Sandra Finigian. How did Fava slip in to this page full o' babes? She was also in the choir an

De Hylla
I just got off the phone with De Hylla. She's still in St. Louis. I got her number from her cousin. She's a widow, her husband died 9 years ago of cancer and her son is a police officer in St. Louis. She's got 34 years as a computer designer for a division of Emerson Electric. Wow, a geek! "What do you mean a geek!" she said with astonishment. She got married when she was 27. She had been married 17 years. She knows Windows! Teaches it to the girls at her job. She still sees Kathy Seemiller, who is a secretary in Melville HS. De wants to retire in 7 years on Social Security and her pension and

Merle Busch
I talked to Merle Busch a little while ago, and I've already mentioned him several times in connection with the poetry that we got of Helen Huths. (see the Spring's poetry conference). Merle is happily married and still living in the South County St. Louis area. He's retired from teaching now. Merle is the hippest teacher I ever had. Someone who cares about people. And he was more that that, he was, and still is, a very good friend. And he's found his way on the net, and surfs around a couple of hours most days. I've sort of tried to talk him in to posting some things here. We had some great t

The page is really growing. This is a great thing you're doing for us all. Thanks. I hope we can get a lot more of the 63's involved.

Wow! First time check in. Hello Pat! Looking back to '63 what are your standout memories?

Remembering Luppens
I remember Pat pretty well because we were good friends and Pat was a "nerd" back before anyone ever heard of them. It feels like Pat has stuck his toe in the water here and tested it out. And Gail and De haven't found the swimming hole yet. Merle I know has read the topic. And most of the other guests haven't even received their cyber-reunion notices yet (but I'm working on it!) Tell us about your life now Pat, I know you're really into boating and boat building (we've swapped a few emails at this stage).

Sandy Vogt in Illinois
Well guess who I talked to tonight? Sandy Vogt! Sandy had to have been one of the greatest athletes of all time at our school. Sandy is now married and living in Oneida, Illinois. She's been married and a schoolteacher nearly her whole life (28 years). I had a great talk with Sandy, she's so warm and friendly! And she was very helpful about getting in touch with some other folks. I was feeling kind of disappointed after getting the skimpy list from Merle but I felt much better after talking to Sandy. She was one of the few folks on the schools computer database. She has email and web access so

Hi everybody!! WOW, Terry! You were sure quick to get my senior picture on the net! I am a completely different looking person today. If I ever get a scanner I'll surprise you with an updated version. I think your idea of this web page is great. I haven't had time to look up any addresses or names for you since we spoke on the phone tonight (3-24-98) but I promise to do it soon. I enjoyed your comments about Gail, De, Pat, Helen, and Jim. All of them stand out in my mind. I saw De at a Bayless High Alumni picnic about 6 or 7 years ago. She went to lunch with my brother, Al, and I. We had a won

questions for Sandy
I look very different now also, as you can see from this picture which shows how much I've matured. That's neat Sandy, I like to play golf out at our little Bastrop course. And how did you and your husband meet? What grades have you been teaching? Do you have any stories about your life at Bayless High? What was your greatest moment in sports, Sandy?

Hi Paul (or would you like to be called "Terry" now?) I know who the new picture is. It's Edith (Jung) Graff. She and Gail Egendorf and I are the only three classmates in our class to have gone to school together from K-12 grades at Bayless. I met my husband in a "History and Principals of PE " class at MU. The only chair in the room was next to him. I walked into a room full of some very husky girl PE majors and a balance of the University of MO football players. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Anyway Bill and I both have a similar sense of humor...gross..and we hit it off great. We've

I think the great tragedy of your life, Sandy, is that you were born just too soon for the Women's NBA. Whaddaya mean "sissy"! You don't happen to remember how many points you scored in that game do you? I just got off the line with Rick Froelich, we had a good talk. Rick is the "Lollipop King" of St. Louis. No joke. He's selling a whole line of designer "gourmet" lollipops, it's his own business and it's doing real well. He sells to Walmart and mom and pop stores in St. Louis and he's trying to expand to the rest of the state. Before that Rick was in the footwear business and traveled all ove

Well there you all are. When I checked on to the site I didn't see any thing but now lots of people are showing up. This is very cool . Seems like everyone is playing golf. If you have dirt and grass you golf. If you have the Chesapeake Bay you sail/ fish/boat. Moved to Virginia in 77and discovered this marvelous inland sea nearby. Both my sons and I work in the shipping industry. Susan and I have 3 grandchildren (all boys) between us and two more on the way. Hoping (Susan's hoping) for girls. Can't tell yet. We'll know by the end of June. Would be glad to hear from anyone out there

Hi everybody!! It was great to hear about Rick Froelich and some of the "Friday Night Boys". Pat Luppens will have to give us all a travelog about his area. I'm not a sea person, but where he lives there are some nice golf courses. My husband and I are looking to do lots of golfing this summer and new courses are something we like to try. I think we should all send Paul a picture of us now and see if we can guess who it is. Edith's picture was too easy. Just look at your yearbook. I'll look forward to seeing you. Sandy

Both are real active in sports, just like she was at Bayless. Sandy, I bet you have some anecdotes about Sharon? She met her husband Dennis at the Aerospace Lounge just after her high school days and is now living up in Chesterfield, Missouri (we moved up that area for a while after I graduated). Sharon is plugging real hard for a reunion of the nonvirtual kind (remember when we all met face to face). A 4

Cathy Musket just called and she just got back from China. She's getting hitched up with Richard Rieman (Bayless 62), who she did the China trip with. She's lived in about 14 or 15 homes. She mentioned Miss Charles, and when she gets a computer she's going to hook her sewing machine to it. No net access right now but they'll get it when Richard retires. She has three kids, ages 21, 24 and 30. They're off at college and one of them is applying for a job at the CIA. She put me in touch with Sandy Finigian and Kay Mallard Stark, who I will call soon.

The Starks have had a huge rags to riches success story with their business, the US Display Company. They have 150 employees with branches all over the place. The last time you went and rented a movie you probably saw one of their full size, life size displays. Kay had twins , and they're 28 now and both married. She has a 20 month old grandaughter.

I'm hoping to start another contest soon, but it will be tougher! Keep checking in as the first one who guesses will get the prize. Everyone's eligible now except Sandy who's a former prizewinner.

What's a little ol' 23 years. Sandy, should we take a vote on making wolf our Bayless High mascot? I'm watching the "The Big Chill"; talk about nostalgia. It makes me imagine what a "Big Chill" experience would be with some members of our class. Do you know what I mean? Gathered around the living room after the formalities have subsided, experincing each other like Jeff Goldblum, William Hurt, Glen Close, Kevin Klien et al did in this movie . . . interesting fuel for the reminiscing mind.

Hi again!! I don't think a reunion of Bayless Class of '63 would be anything like the "Big Chill" . I remember a rekindled romance in that movie. If I remember correctly my relationship with the boys in my class was friendly more that romantic. I do remember a few kisses, but we never really were "going together". The class reunion was great though. Everybody seemed really glad to see each other. We were all past impressing each other with our successes and were genuinely glad to be together and see one anoth r. I had an absolute ball!!

Judy Aurin, Kitty Petri, Phyllis Hanna and other folks will be there. Everyone welcome. I posted a note on the main page and made the title to reflect that this conference is not just for '63 grads.

I'd like to toss out something that Riette Walton wrote in another conference (philosophy) for discussion, maybe it will spark something: I used to look up people alot too, but I was almost almost dissappointed upon meeting with someone from the past again - not good old friends, because with them things will always remain the same - but the few boyfriends I had. It was like they expected the feeling to be the same as before, but how could that be? A few years and a big distance don't leave anything unchanged. I think if people can meet people from their past without longing for the person the

This is a story from our times from Bill Bradley's website: "But basketball became more than that for Bill. He attended summer basketball camps sponsored by the St. Louis Hawks' "Easy" Ed Macauley, where he learned the importance of practicing: "When you're not practicing, someone somewhere is. And when the two of you meet, given roughly equal ability, he will win." Bill took that advice to heart. He would practice his shooting by moving from one place to another around the basket. He would have to make twenty-five shots in a row from each position before allowing himself to move on, and if he

Paul, Thanks for the quick response. My life turned out just fine. I married my childhood sweetheart from Bayless (Martha Martin - also class of '64) in 1968. We live in San Jose and I'm the VP of Sales for a high-tech silicon valley company. Marty is administrator of our church. We have two boys, Scott and Adam, and just became grandparents in May of Travis, Scott's son. My sister Judie (class of 61) still lives in St. Louis. Marty and I have stayed up with a few classmates of '64: Dennis Scheske, Steve Casanover, Kitty Jacobs (Petry), Andrea Ficklin, Kay Benz (Federspiel), etc. but that's ab

What a great discovery, to find this site. It is like finding something wonderful that you thought you had lost forever. My youngest son's wife is very interested in our family tree, and she called me one morning to tell me that she had found this site, and was sure it must be my school, since I had grown up in south county St. Louis and had only gone to one school from K-12. She had my attenion and she was right. I couldn't thank her enough for giving me the web address's. Paul you have really started truly great service and kindness to your classmates. Thank you so much, Harold Naegele

Hey, I remember you Harold! Spread the word Harold. You were a blond guy, you could have had a role in Grease. Pretty tough. Yeah, I remember.

Paul,if you prefer to called Terry, please let me know in your reply. There are some very fine people who still live in the st. louis area, who I would love to hear from as I'm sure almost everyone would if they could be found. James Daniels, Rick Gestring, Ben Smith?,Scott Roeder. Ben may not still live there. There are also so many nice girls we went to school with; I can't even think of any that weren't nice. I look at the graduating classes of my daughters and sons and see how blessed we were. Well I have to go for now, but the Lord willing I will be back. HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK, Harold

Paul is ok. I've heard from Jim Daniels. Yeah, come back and get others to come back. Check out the directory of Bayless Class of 63 and send me any additions corrections. etc. I remember you. Blond hair. Kind of a cool haircut with a little bit of grease? Rick Gestring, sure, I remember him. Scott Roeder a remember a little less. Ben Smith had a cool car didn't he? Yes, all the girls in our class were exceptional. What a crop!

Paul You are right; there seems to be quite a problem getting responses from our classmates,but I don't think they are insurmountable. Mainly because we seem have some people very astute minds in the IP arena. You, Paul, Jack Newsom, and others. Just look at the possibilities, you all are at the top of your game; you can't help but come up with a winng idea, you didn't get where you are by accident or by serendepity. I'll bet that within 6 months you gentlemen will have over one half located and conversing. IN A YEAR or so, that you will have the majority of class located. Look at the great re

Very well said Harold. I like your vision on this. We'll be having virtual basketball games and prom dances with holograms of ourselves next. The way instant messenging is evolving, this may not be too far off. Paul, I heard, is a pilot. In Florida or something. De Hylla is a kick to talk to on the phone, still as peppy as ever. Her son is a policeman in St. Louis. And she educated me that it is "De" and not "Dee". Sandy Vogt was quite the basketball player and all around athlete. Gail actually came to Austin and I visited with her a bit at her son's place up in Round Rock. Pat Luppen's is in

Paul, We seem to be having a dialogue.Where is everyone? If there is one certain truth about our class, it is this; we were not the silent type. Even the young ladies like De,Edith Gail,Carol,Judy A,Nancy B,Carla Mezines {Larwell}, Barbara Story, and so many more are ever so silent,why? I am not bragging on myself,but we had one GREAT CLASS! It is a shame to not hear from one another. I know there can be times when one of us may grow silent because grief, or other circumstances,but after living through some of my own, only later did I realize how much we could help each other.

Paul, I truly apologize for the length of my last correspondence, I seem to have allowed myself to become morose. But those last few sentences are an absolute truth, we can make a difference! I really hope we can reach most of our class, somehow,someway. We would all be the better for it. By the way. Do you remember showing Kim and I your telescope and astronomy books and charts. I don't think Kim was really into it, but I was and I was impressed with your scope and charts. I was also into radio astronomy, which I really enjoyed studying. Kim really ragged me for about a week over the astronom

paul, I was just wondering how the searh for our missing classmates was going? I hope that you and the other have found agood method for finding them. I think it would really be great to get together again somehow, someway even if it has to be over over the internet, although nothing compares with the real thing. I truly believe the adage that you are as old as you believe you are. There are enough studies that prove you can keep both your mind and body in excellent condition. Maybe our body's may not look exactly 17 or 18, but they don't have to terribe either. well, so much for that. I would

Man Harold I'm sorry to hear about your son. No need to apologize for lengthy posts. I wish more folks would chime in with detailed remembrances and accounts of what they're up to now. I do remember Mrs. Elmore. She sure tried to stereotype you. If you haven' t heard the news, Merle died. He was a great teacher with a wonderful spirit. He took us caving on weekends in his Austin Healey 3000. I had been meaning to call him but the opportunity has slipped by. Sorry to hear about Norman Hermann's tragic end. I'm going to invest in some jack stands next time I go to Walmart. I wonder if I should b
