Text from Pages 1 - 184 of the 1956 volume:

GETTING ALONG As high school days draw lo a close, you will realize a cherished goal and reward—your diploma. This reward you should accept with pride, for it has been hard-won by the constant vigilance and effort of a dozen years or more, and it represents one of your greatest achievements thus far in life. • •• n WS6 But what were the ingredients necessary for this achievement? Enthusiasm, honest effort, promptness, attention lo detail—all of these in no small way have contributed. Other qualities, acquired along the way, have added their full measure, as you learned the importance of cheerfulness. of service to others, helpfulness, friendship, and staunch loyalty to your school, family, and friends. In brief, you learned the art of "getting along" with others. This ability to "get along" was not gained from a textbook. The extent to which you acquired this quality is the result of experiences with people and the degree to which you have tried to make these associations pleasant and helpful. You are now equipped with an education. But. how well you can apply what you have learned, how successful you will be. how you will be able to contribute to the success of your family, your community, or your place of employment, will also depend on how well you have learned the art of "getting along" with your fellow man. To be successful a business must learn to live with other businesses in a business world, in a community, and with people. The Alton area is prosperpous partly because many good businesses have been able to accomplish this purpose, and you, in the future, will need similar qualities lo be equally successful. This ability to "get along." coupled with frankness of purpose, sincere earnestness of endeavor, and a humble and grateful altitude, adds untold strength to your formal education and will help establish your individual future success in this, the world's greatest nation—America.

There are subjects to fit the needs of every student. A good background for college can be had by anyone willing to take the courses and study. Science, math,social sciences, language, and English are all necessary for college. The individuals not planning on a college education can take the business, vocational, and homemaking courses, to prepare them for what they are planning to do after graduation.Pep Band The pep band is composed of members of the concert band. Their lively songs raise enthusiasm at all the pep assemblies and the home basketball games.

In their second encounter, Alton crushed McKinley 21-0. The Redbirds then lost the next seven games giving a season mark of two wins and seven defeats.

At the end of the season, the players selected Don Sandidge as captain, and Bob Diaz and Danny Weeks as the Lineman of the Year and Back of the Year candidates in the annual Player of the Year Banquet. Bob Diaz and Danny Weeks were named to first string All-District Team and Kenny Williams to the second team. Diaz was also on the first string All-Conference Team; Don Sandidge received honorable mention.Up with that jump shot, Dick The 1955-56 Basketball season was one of the Redbirds’ finest. They compiled a regular season work of 23-6. The Red-birds took second place in the newly organized Southwestern Conference, also second in the Pontiac Holiday Tournament and Hillsboro Tournament. In Regional Tourney play, the Alton cagers were downed by Edwardsville thus severing their hope of a return trip to the state finals at Champaign.

The Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes are all represented so that suggestions and ideas may be presented by majority representation rather than by a select few. Each year the Council handles our talent show and Homecoming. This year they also published a “Buzz Book” and selected the school assemblies. The Councils’ chief source of income is derived from handling the concessions at the football games. Every Spring there is a colorful campaign and election of officers. The 1955-1956 officers as elected last spring were: Tom Monical, President and Bob Diaz, Vice President. At the beginning of this school year the Council selected Barbara Lindsay as Secretary.Girls’ Council The Girls’ Council, sponsored by Miss Teter, is a service organization composed of Junior and Senior Girls. Some of their projects have been selling Alton High beanies and stationery, candy sales, entertaining new girls from out of town, and checking coats during the tournament. In the past, among many other projects, the Council has presented bulletin boards, and helped buy the audiometer for the Clinic. The council meets the second and fourth Mondays of every month. Boys’ Cabinet The Boys’ Cabinet is an organization with a membership of about 25 boys which serves the school in many ways. Mr. Jureziz, the club sponsor, assisted by Jack Rhoades, who is club president, set up plans to be used in selling concessions at basketball games. The boys pass out programs at football games, maintain a large school bulletin board, and take tickets at school functions. This year the Cabinet purchased some spotlights to be used for school plays and assemblies.

A VOICE Dramatic Club— Tryouts are held once or twice a year for Dramatic Club. Candidates who are chosen for membership are selected for interpretations of roles, enunciation and diction. One play is presented each semester by the Dramatic Club. Members help with lighting, props, make-up, and prompting in addition to acting in plays. This club was founded in 1923 for the purpose of creating and expressing the interests in drama and its function. Miss Mildred Rutledge is sponsor of the Dramatic Club.

An induction ceremony is held twice a year when new members are then taken into the society. A banquet is held at that time and the Best Thes- Best Thespians of the year pian is announced.

Because of increased costs of yearbook production, as in the case of everything else, we have been obliged to count more heavily upon their financial assistance. Without this advertising the subscription price of the Tatler would be almost prohibitive for the average student. Because of Alton’s citizens’ interest in you and your welfare, and our school in general, they have been generous in taking ads. They have also proved kind and considerate to our solicitors. Therefore, it behooves us to show these firms and friends the value of their advertising in reciprocal good will. Mention their ad in the Tatler when you patronize them; favor them with your cooperation in every way you can. i AND TO ALTON HIGH FRIENDS: The 1956 Tatler has served you again in presenting your valuable message to Alton students, alumni of the school, and citizens of the community. Because each Tatler lives and relives from year to year in one thousand homes in Alton, is seen this year and for many years to come, as a thoughtful reminder of your good will to the school, or a reminder to come in and buy your merchandise, or to employ your services.

This reward you should accept with pride, for it has been hard-won by the constant vigilance and effort of a dozen years or more, and it represents one of your greatest achievements thus far in life. But what were the ingredients necessary for this achievement? Enthusiasm, honest effort, promptness, attention to detail—all of these in no small way have contributed. Other qualities, acquired along the way, have added their full measure, as you learned the importance of cheerful ness, of service to others, helpfulness, friendship, and staunch loyalty to your school, family, and friends. In brief, you learned the art of "getting along" with others. This ability to "get along" was not gained from a textbook. The extent to which you acquired this quality is the result of experiences with people and the degree to which you have tried to make these associations pleasant and helpful. You are now equipped with an education. But. how well you can apply what you have learned, how successful you will be, how you will be able to contribute to the success of your family, your community, or your place of employment. will also depend on how well you have learned the art of "getting along" with your fellow man. To be successful a business must learn to live with other businesses in a business world, in a community, and with people. The Alton area is prosperpous partly because many good businesses have been able to accomplish this purpose, and you, in the future, will need similar qualities to be equally successful. This ability to "get along." coupled with frankness of purpose, sincere earnestness of endeavor, and a humble and grateful attitude, adds untold strength to your formal education and will help establish your individual future success in this, the world's greatest nation—America.
