Swing are, from

Quartet of talented
musicians perform
gigs all over town
by Jennifer Grotpeter
Swing music saw its heyday in the
1930s, through the end of World War
II. As the 20th century rolled into
the 21st, swing enjoyed a revival as
fleeting as it was energetic.
Whether dancers did the Lindy
Hop at a USO show in 1942, or at
the now-shuttered Velvet nightclub
in the 1990s, the syncopated rhythm
of swing has kept generations of toes
tapping.
Today a quartet of local women,
the Queens of Swing, tour the St.
Louis area mixing their talent and
lifelong love of music with a dash of
well-researched history.

Sally Lefler
Varied Career Leads To Active Retirement
Ageless Remarkable
Saint Louisan credits
mother, grandfather
for inspiring her
versatile career path
by Linda Briggs Harty
In an era stressing youth, one
Kirkwood High graduate, Class of
1953, can’t help but gain notice.
A 2015 recipient of the St. Andrew’s
Resources for Seniors AgelessRemarkable Saint Louisan award,
Glendale resident Sally Lefler has the
verve of a young woman, mixed with
the confidence of an experienced adult.
The combination makes for one
impressive, older, individual.
Known as a leader in several fields
over the course of her career, Lefler
lit the way especially for women, old
and young, while serving in executive
positions, locally and nationally, at the
YWCA and the Girl Scouts USA.
Most notably, Lefler helped lower
racial divides in segregated St. Louis,
first by setting up outreach programs
as executive director of the Carondelet
YWCA and then, when serving
nationally, by stressing the arts in
community as a Rockefeller/Ford
Foundations selectee.
The Lindenwood College pre-law
graduate also trained to be a foreign
diplomat at the State Department in
Washington, D.C., taught college prep
courses at prestigious Fairfax Hall in

“Looking back, I was privileged to be part of
organizations helping people achieve their potential.
I wanted to shatter the glass ceiling in place for
women, which still is there in many ways today.”
– Sally Lefler
Virginia, earned distinction as a top
sales/merchandising/buyer’s associate
in women’s fashion at the old FamousBarr Company, sold real estate on St.
Simon’s Island, acted as an executive
search professional and management
consultant, having pursued graduate
studies in systems analysis, to name
some key roles Lefler played during
her long career.
“Looking back, I was privileged to
be part of organizations helping people
achieve their potential,” Lefler said in
an interview over coffee. “I wanted to
shatter the glass ceiling in place for
women, which still is there in many
ways today.”
Coming into her own in the days just
before Martin Luther King Jr., made
his mark, Lefler used a love of the arts
and music, as well as government,
history and social sciences to make
her own mark as a non-profit and
corporate leader.
Interestingly, Lefler shares the
remarkable senior stage with her
“sister” and Glendale roommate
Jane Towater, whom St. Andrew’s
Resources honored in 2014. Towater
also worked in national leadership
at the YWCA, with a similar bent
for racial justice. The old friend that
Lefler calls sister earned a top award,
in fact, for her work along those lines.
Lefler credits her mother, who
lived in Richmond Heights, her San
Francisco-based grandmother and her
grandfather, also based in Richmond
Heights, for inspiring her versatile
path.
“My mother was avant garde: a real
fashionista and mentor of youth. She
valued education above all. She didn’t
finish college but later in life blazed
trails by working on early computer
systems for Southwestern Bell,” Lefler
said.
Lefler’s grandfather embarked upon
varied careers like his granddaughter
would come to do. Over the years,
he was a reporter at the old St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, an inventor,
toymaker and a commercial real estate
developer.
Lefler adopted an international air
early on, aided by membership in the
World Affairs Council as a Kirkwood
High student and introduction

SIGNS & SIGNALS
IS IT TIME TO TALK ABOUT
ASSISTED LIVING?
Many signals can indicate you may need to discuss senior
living choices with your loved one.
Lapses in
personal
hygeine
Weight gain could be from inactivity—weight loss may indicate a poor diet.
Withdrawal from lifelong activities: skipping
church or not keeping up with regular
social engagements
If your family is coping with any of these issues, consider
making a call to an assisted living community. The vast
majority of seniors who are happily enjoying Assisted
Living had a loved one make the first call for them.

Lefler’s Career
from page 2B
to world-renowned figures like
Nuremburg Trial Judge Jacob Lashley.
Lashley acted as Lefler’s mentor, upon
her request.
In college, she set sights on foreign
service after finishing a six-month
program called the Washington
Seminar. Given a rare chance, she met
with ambassadors, sat in on committee
hearings led by then-Senator John
F. Kennedy and engaged with key
government officials.
When her second fiance died a tragic
death like the first, Lefler returned to
St. Louis, specifically Glendale. She’s
lived there most of her life, though in
the course of her work traveled often
throughout the U.S. and the world.
Trips to Europe, Asia, the Mid-East,
South America and elsewhere fueled
wanderlust in the ever-ambitious
Lefler.
Retired from the Girl Scouts USA
since 1999, Lefler stays active through
service to non-profit groups like CASA,
the Junior League, the GermanHeritage Society, the Morning Etude
Club, the National Music Federation,
Opera Theatre of St. Louis, the music
section of the Wednesday Club and
others.
She serves on the board of
adjustment for the city of Glendale,
was a two-term vice president of the
Kirkwood Area Arts Council and is
part of the advisory board of Love Our
Children USA, which sponsors the
“Stomp Out Bullying” campaign.
Her memberships in other area
organizations are too many to mention.
Lefler said she knew she would go
far, ever since she was 10 or 11 years
old and she earned an award from a
greeting card company for most sales
in her region. The company thought
her mother had done the work.
“I’m blessed to have seen so much
change in my lifespan,” she said.
“It’s inspiring also to part of such
an amazing group, honored by St.
Andrew’s Resources for remarkable
aging.”

Local Quartet Performs Songs Of Yesteryear
from page 1B
tickles the ivories, South County resident Mary
Ann Schulte keeps the rhythm on bass guitar, while
Sydell Pollack and Mary Weber, both of University
City, play drums and trumpet, respectively. This
all-woman band reminds their audiences of a time
when all the men went off to war.
During World War II, women stepped into many
roles previously filled by men, filling voids left in
the workforce and entertainment world.
“The women were working in the factories,
playing professional baseball and making music,”
said Schulte. “There were all-girl bands that toured
the whole country.”
The Queens of Swing do more than keep the
musical integrity of the 1940s-era girl groups.
They include a narrative that highlights the
history of the genre and the stories of female swing
musicians, including famed drummer Viola Smith.
Smith played drums professionally during the
swing era and beyond; at 103 years old she is still
an endorser for Zildjian cymbals.
While music pioneer Smith started her career as
a young woman in a band made up of her sisters
that was together by her father, The Queens of
Swing had lengthy individual musical careers
before they came together.
Trumpeter Mary Weber has played with several
symphonies, including the St. Louis Symphony, and
performed with diverse musicians from Luciano
Pavarotti to The Temptations. In addition to her
Queens of Swing schedule, she plays and records
with The Clarion Brass.
She also uses her talent and experience to
benefit young musicians in the Kirkwood and
Webster Groves school districts, where she teaches
private trumpet lessons.
“Mary, who plays trumpet, plays with Clarion
Brass; I went to the Sheldon and heard her play
there,” said Treacy. “I talked to her after the
concert, and she has been playing with us for a
year-and-a-half now. She plays everything and does
everything!”
Sydell Pollack has been a drummer since
childhood, but her college degree is in painting.
She sees a connection between the two art forms.
“When we play, we are communicating with the
audience,” Pollack said. “A painting can take years
to create in a studio, but music is immediate.
“A drum beat can affect others, and when
you perform, you want them to dance. I see the
audience singing, dancing, clapping and I know we
have succeeded; that’s what it’s all about.”
“People love watching Sydell,” added Schulte.
“She’s so colorful!”
Mary Ann Schulte has been a musician for much
of her life, and even met her husband when they
played together with The St. Louis Stompers.
“He plays tuba,” Schulte said. “My main
instrument is piano, which is how Pat and I knew
each other. She called me about the Queens of
Swing, but the last time I played bass guitar was in
high school!”
“Mary Ann is well-known locally, so when I had
the idea for an all-girl band, I called her,” explained
Treacy. “We do piano duets, too, and she also plays
the accordion.”
Treacy started playing classical piano when she
was 5 years old, and took up jazz in high school.
After marriage and motherhood, she temporarily
bowed out of public performances, but continued to
play at home. She enjoys playing with the Queens,
but the history also appeals to her.
“I’m a history buff, and this is an extension of
that – researching the history and fitting it into the
music,” she said.
The Queens of Swing are keeping busy with gigs
all around the area.
“We had 32 gigs last year – so we celebrate a
successful season,” said Treacy. “We have great fun
and that is transmitted to our audience.”
Their gigs include Orchard House in Webster
Groves, Aberdeen Heights in Kirkwood; church
groups, historical societies, Cape Albeon in Valley
Park, and even the Sisters at Mother of Perpetual
Help on Watson.
“What’s good about the Queens of Swing is that
we all have areas we are good in. Between us, we
combine and get a good product,” explained Pollack.
“We are a sisterhood,” said Treacy. “We enjoy
each other’s company and enjoy playing together.
We have never had a bomb; a year-and-a-half
together and never bombed!”

The Queens of
Swing are, from

Quartet of talented
musicians perform
gigs all over town
by Jennifer Grotpeter
Swing music saw its heyday in the
1930s, through the end of World War
II. As the 20th century rolled into
the 21st, swing enjoyed a revival as
fleeting as it was energetic.
Whether dancers did the Lindy
Hop at a USO show in 1942, or at
the now-shuttered Velvet nightclub
in the 1990s, the syncopated rhythm
of swing has kept generations of toes
tapping.
Today a quartet of local women,
the Queens of Swing, tour the St.
Louis area mixing their talent and
lifelong love of music with a dash of
well-researched history.

Sally Lefler
Varied Career Leads To Active Retirement
Ageless Remarkable
Saint Louisan credits
mother, grandfather
for inspiring her
versatile career path
by Linda Briggs Harty
In an era stressing youth, one
Kirkwood High graduate, Class of
1953, can’t help but gain notice.
A 2015 recipient of the St. Andrew’s
Resources for Seniors AgelessRemarkable Saint Louisan award,
Glendale resident Sally Lefler has the
verve of a young woman, mixed with
the confidence of an experienced adult.
The combination makes for one
impressive, older, individual.
Known as a leader in several fields
over the course of her career, Lefler
lit the way especially for women, old
and young, while serving in executive
positions, locally and nationally, at the
YWCA and the Girl Scouts USA.
Most notably, Lefler helped lower
racial divides in segregated St. Louis,
first by setting up outreach programs
as executive director of the Carondelet
YWCA and then, when serving
nationally, by stressing the arts in
community as a Rockefeller/Ford
Foundations selectee.
The Lindenwood College pre-law
graduate also trained to be a foreign
diplomat at the State Department in
Washington, D.C., taught college prep
courses at prestigious Fairfax Hall in
photo by Jerry Nauheim Photography
“Looking back, I was privileged to be part of
organizations helping people achieve their potential.
I wanted to shatter the glass ceiling in place for
women, which still is there in many ways today.”
– Sally Lefler
Virginia, earned distinction as a top
sales/merchandising/buyer’s associate
in women’s fashion at the old FamousBarr Company, sold real estate on St.
Simon’s Island, acted as an executive
search professional and management
consultant, having pursued graduate
studies in systems analysis, to name
some key roles Lefler played during
her long career.
“Looking back, I was privileged to
be part of organizations helping people
achieve their potential,” Lefler said in
an interview over coffee. “I wanted to
shatter the glass ceiling in place for
women, which still is there in many
ways today.”
Coming into her own in the days just
before Martin Luther King Jr., made
his mark, Lefler used a love of the arts
and music, as well as government,
history and social sciences to make
her own mark as a non-profit and
corporate leader.
Interestingly, Lefler shares the
remarkable senior stage with her
“sister” and Glendale roommate
Jane Towater, whom St. Andrew’s
Resources honored in 2014. Towater
also worked in national leadership
at the YWCA, with a similar bent
for racial justice. The old friend that
Lefler calls sister earned a top award,
in fact, for her work along those lines.
Lefler credits her mother, who
lived in Richmond Heights, her San
Francisco-based grandmother and her
grandfather, also based in Richmond
Heights, for inspiring her versatile
path.
“My mother was avant garde: a real
fashionista and mentor of youth. She
valued education above all. She didn’t
finish college but later in life blazed
trails by working on early computer
systems for Southwestern Bell,” Lefler
said.
Lefler’s grandfather embarked upon
varied careers like his granddaughter
would come to do. Over the years,
he was a reporter at the old St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, an inventor,
toymaker and a commercial real estate
developer.
Lefler adopted an international air
early on, aided by membership in the
World Affairs Council as a Kirkwood
High student and introduction

SIGNS & SIGNALS
IS IT TIME TO TALK ABOUT
ASSISTED LIVING?
Many signals can indicate you may need to discuss senior
living choices with your loved one.
Lapses in

hygeine
Weight gain could be from inactivity—weight loss may indicate a poor diet.
Withdrawal from lifelong activities: skipping
church or not keeping up with regular
social engagements
If your family is coping with any of these issues, consider
making a call to an assisted living community. The vast
majority of seniors who are happily enjoying Assisted
Living had a loved one make the first call for them.

Lefler’s Career
from page 2B
to world-renowned figures like
Nuremburg Trial Judge Jacob Lashley.
Lashley acted as Lefler’s mentor, upon
her request.
In college, she set sights on foreign
service after finishing a six-month
program called the Washington
Seminar. Given a rare chance, she met
with ambassadors, sat in on committee
hearings led by then-Senator John
F. Kennedy and engaged with key
government officials.
When her second fiance died a tragic
death like the first, Lefler returned to
St. Louis, specifically Glendale. She’s
lived there most of her life, though in
the course of her work traveled often
throughout the U.S. and the world.
Trips to Europe, Asia, the Mid-East,
South America and elsewhere fueled
wanderlust in the ever-ambitious
Lefler.
Retired from the Girl Scouts USA
since 1999, Lefler stays active through
service to non-profit groups like CASA,
the Junior League, the GermanHeritage Society, the Morning Etude
Club, the National Music Federation,
Opera Theatre of St. Louis, the music
section of the Wednesday Club and
others.
She serves on the board of
adjustment for the city of Glendale,
was a two-term vice president of the
Kirkwood Area Arts Council and is
part of the advisory board of Love Our
Children USA, which sponsors the
“Stomp Out Bullying” campaign.
Her memberships in other area
organizations are too many to mention.
Lefler said she knew she would go
far, ever since she was 10 or 11 years
old and she earned an award from a
greeting card company for most sales
in her region. The company thought
her mother had done the work.
“I’m blessed to have seen so much
change in my lifespan,” she said.
“It’s inspiring also to part of such
an amazing group, honored by St.
Andrew’s Resources for remarkable
aging.”

Local Quartet Performs Songs Of Yesteryear
from page 1B
tickles the ivories, South County resident Mary
Ann Schulte keeps the rhythm on bass guitar, while
Sydell Pollack and Mary Weber, both of University
City, play drums and trumpet, respectively. This
all-woman band reminds their audiences of a time
when all the men went off to war.
During World War II, women stepped into many
roles previously filled by men, filling voids left in
the workforce and entertainment world.
“The women were working in the factories,
playing professional baseball and making music,”
said Schulte. “There were all-girl bands that toured
the whole country.”
The Queens of Swing do more than keep the
musical integrity of the 1940s-era girl groups.
They include a narrative that highlights the
history of the genre and the stories of female swing
musicians, including famed drummer Viola Smith.
Smith played drums professionally during the
swing era and beyond; at 103 years old she is still
an endorser for Zildjian cymbals.
While music pioneer Smith started her career as
a young woman in a band made up of her sisters
that was together by her father, The Queens of
Swing had lengthy individual musical careers
before they came together.
Trumpeter Mary Weber has played with several
symphonies, including the St. Louis Symphony, and
performed with diverse musicians from Luciano
Pavarotti to The Temptations. In addition to her
Queens of Swing schedule, she plays and records
with The Clarion Brass.
She also uses her talent and experience to
benefit young musicians in the Kirkwood and
Webster Groves school districts, where she teaches
private trumpet lessons.
“Mary, who plays trumpet, plays with Clarion
Brass; I went to the Sheldon and heard her play
there,” said Treacy. “I talked to her after the
concert, and she has been playing with us for a
year-and-a-half now. She plays everything and does
everything!”
Sydell Pollack has been a drummer since
childhood, but her college degree is in painting.
She sees a connection between the two art forms.
“When we play, we are communicating with the
audience,” Pollack said. “A painting can take years
to create in a studio, but music is immediate.
“A drum beat can affect others, and when
you perform, you want them to dance. I see the
audience singing, dancing, clapping and I know we
have succeeded; that’s what it’s all about.”
“People love watching Sydell,” added Schulte.
“She’s so colorful!”
Mary Ann Schulte has been a musician for much
of her life, and even met her husband when they
played together with The St. Louis Stompers.
“He plays tuba,” Schulte said. “My main
instrument is piano, which is how Pat and I knew
each other. She called me about the Queens of
Swing, but the last time I played bass guitar was in
high school!”
“Mary Ann is well-known locally, so when I had
the idea for an all-girl band, I called her,” explained
Treacy. “We do piano duets, too, and she also plays
the accordion.”
Treacy started playing classical piano when she
was 5 years old, and took up jazz in high school.
After marriage and motherhood, she temporarily
bowed out of public performances, but continued to
play at home. She enjoys playing with the Queens,
but the history also appeals to her.
“I’m a history buff, and this is an extension of
that – researching the history and fitting it into the
music,” she said.
The Queens of Swing are keeping busy with gigs
all around the area.
“We had 32 gigs last year – so we celebrate a
successful season,” said Treacy. “We have great fun
and that is transmitted to our audience.”
Their gigs include Orchard House in Webster
Groves, Aberdeen Heights in Kirkwood; church
groups, historical societies, Cape Albeon in Valley
Park, and even the Sisters at Mother of Perpetual
Help on Watson.
“What’s good about the Queens of Swing is that
we all have areas we are good in. Between us, we
combine and get a good product,” explained Pollack.
“We are a sisterhood,” said Treacy. “We enjoy
each other’s company and enjoy playing together.
We have never had a bomb; a year-and-a-half
together and never bombed!”

Coloring Craze Hits Webster
Residents at Pacific Place Senior Living Community in Webster Groves are

and decrease stress levels. During an adult coloring class on a chilly January
evening at Pacific Place, residents enjoyed conversation and hot cocoa. Pictured,
