Raymond M. Keller, who taught for 35 years at Bayless High School, died Monday (Feb. 2, 1998) at St. Anthony's Medical Center in south St. Louis County of complications from pneumonia. He was 72 and lived in St. Louis.
Mr. Keller taught social studies and drama at Bayless High from 1952 until 1987, when he retired. In the mid-1970s, the school's auditorium was named for him. When he retired, a scholarship was set up in his name at the school for a student in performing arts or speech.

Mr. Keller was my favorite teacher. My one regret was that I didn't have him for a class my senior year. He made history come alive. It was the one class that I really looked forward to every day--even his dreaded essay questions. I loved the debates we had in class and that he treated his students with respect. I have thought of him often over the years and the profound impact that he had on my life.
