The Mehlville School District had about 18 buses in its fleet in the 1958-59 school year. Mr. Vince Stuckmeyer was the transportation supervisor. The buses in the 1950s read "SCHOOL DISTRICT R-9" with no mention of "Mehlville." This was in accordance with consolidation in 1951 that brought together many small communities.
