Qui' School
Our Alma Mater! We say "our" because we, the class of '27, feel that
during our stay, however brief, we have acquired a certain degree of posses-
sion which nothing can remove!
We leave behind us the school actual, the school of brick, stone, and
mortar: but we carry with us the real school, the school made up of school
spirit, reminisoenee and fond memories, memories of triumphs and disasters,
of school fellows and teachers, and all who have won their way into our hearts.
So we feel that these two schools, that of mind and that of matter, are so
inseparable, that as we keep alive the likeness of one we honor that of
the other. 'l'o do this, we the class of '27, have attempted to represent the
best of our beautiful school by the gleaming portals by which we first entered,
and by which we last leave. 'l'hus it happens that their image lies engraved
on the shanks of our rings, on the covers of our Annual, and last. and more
lastingly in the depths of our emotions.

In fostering the publication of an Annual worthy to be called lhe Figer,
thc staff has met with 111any and various obstacles. Foremost among these
has been the matter of finances-the t'jinx" of many Tiger Editors.
In order to draw as closely as possible thc daily drama of our pulsing
High School and yet keep within the dread limit, we have been forced to omit
many gaudy and expensive features and to resort to utter simplicity in many
respects. If you, our critics, our faculty, and our friends, feel after perusing
the following pages, that this simplicity has not been utilized in vain, we shall
know that wc have succeeded in accomplishing our duty. '
For our duty we saw it, lay in the necessity in giving this annual our
time, attention and the best of our talents, in adapting our viewpoints to suit
yours and in interpreting and setting down in so many lines the truest and
the best of Edwardsville High School.
This has taken much work but if you believe that this book can, in later
years, open to you a vista of half-forgotten bright spots of your High School
career, then we shall feel satisfied and amply repaid.

i Acknowledgments
To the various teachers, students, and friends who have aided the Staff
to Write, compile, and assemble the enormous amount of copy necessary to the
publication of any Annual, We desire to express our thanks and appreciation.
Primarily, we wish to express our gratitude and appreciation to the Cen-
tral Engraving Company for their excellent engraving and especially to M1'.
Randall, who supervised and aided us in many Ways in the planning of our
Annual.
lt is not every Annual Staff that has the co-operation of the faculty. We
were especially fortunate in this, having Mr. Krumsiek for the faculty advisor,
who always rendered us so much valuable assistance. Other members of the
faculty also aided us in correcting, revising and making of copy. Prominent
among these were Miss Gewe and Miss Martin.
In order to transcribe the necessary copy into legible form, Emily Berner,
Marian Wotier and Frieda Schneider volunteered to do the typing. This was
a very painstaking and tedious occupation and much credit is due them because
of the splendid Way in which they handled the Work. '
Then the members of the various classes who Wrote the class histories and
other articles in this issue, deserve much credit for their extremely interesting
accounts. Withoixt their aid we should have failed in our ultimate effort.
To Mr. Strebler, our official class photographer, who has submitted a first-
class grade of photography and has willingly and cheerfully aided us when-
ever We required assistance, We wish to make a special note of gratitude.

Foreword
We, the Tiger Staff of '27, wish to make known
in these few words our steadfast and sincere inten-
tion to set forth and preserve in this, the 14th
volume of the Tiger, a true picture of our school life,
as well as to provide a record that will materially
aid the class of '27 to remember in later years, the
triumphs, the disasters, and the attachments formed
during this basic cycle of their lives.

Dedication
To MR. HARVEY B. GUNN:
In appreciation of his deep interest and per-
sonal participation in our various school activities
and athletics, and his cheerful willingness to aid us
individually at all times, We, the class of 1927,
dedicate this Tiger.

Mr. Ford
Mr. Ford has been the head of the Edwardsville
Public Schools for a number of years. His work
has been thorough and progressive. He raised the
standards of the High School in 1913 to make it a
member of the North Central Association of Second-
ary Schools and Colleges of which Organization we
have been a continuous member since. He is well
liked and is considerate of all.
Mr. Krumsiek
Through the untiring efforts of our principal
the Edwardsville High School has made steady
strides of advancement 'along every line, his work
being accredited by the state inspectors as among
the most efficient in the state. The students have
learned to appreciate his methods of straight for-
ward dealings and his spirit of fair play has always
been evident.

SCENE-Mount Olympus
TIME-June 15, 1927
CHARACTERS-King Jupiter, Queen Juno, Minerva,
Goddess of War, Venus, Goddess of Beauty, Cupid, and also
dear old Caesar.
As the curtain is raised they are chatting idly together.
Jupiter Cwho, strange to say, has a slightly English aceentjz "I say,
y'know, I've just been noticing a bally queer thing down below, donit you
know!"
Juno lgleefully-she is a trifle too plump to be playful any morej : "Oh,
I'll bet I know! It's that unusual Senior Class. They're unusual because
they're really remarkable, not only in their own esteem, but in others!"
Minerva: t'Yes, they're special proteges of mine, I have given them the
determination to fight on against any odds."
Venus: 'tAnd so many of the girls-well, they should be favorites of
mine. There's a high percentage of beauties in THAT class."
Cupid: "Yes, and they all adore me-'Um-Hum'."
Caesar: 'tlzlut what class is this? How is it Ilve never heard of it? Tell
me all the details, do!"
Jupiter: "Righto, we'll call in the Historian Olympion. Here, you!"
Cto a servantb 'tcall Scribilis and tell him to bring his record book."
fEnter Scribilis, his halo hanging heavy over his head.J
Jupiter: "I say, read the record of that class I was speaking of the other
day-the ,27 Class of E. H. S., or rather, just tell us about it."
Scribilisz '4Well, they entered E. H. S. in the fall of ,23. It was also
the fall of one of the oldest High School traditions, that all Freshmen are
green. They tried hazing them, razzing them, and then decided that after all,
greenuess, like beauty, is only skin deep. Or maybe it was only the refiection
from the walls. The Class spent their first year in getting used to the High
School and all the new teachers, and in learning the unwritten law of the
classes.

"In their Sophomore year, they were a great deal more brilliant, and
already adepts at the art of saying 'prepared' in a class and bearing out the
assertion with only five minutes' preparation. They made the orchestra a
howling success, and furnished some good raw material for the basketball
and football teams. They dug up two good basketball players, each with the
peculiar talent of seeming to be in two places at once, because, you see, they
were twins."
Jupiter Csottovocej: "Bally good of the old chap to explain it, doncha
know! Rathah a clevah way of putting it-'peculiar talent'-ttwins'. Quite
simple, when you understand it, what-what?"
Scribilis Ccontinuing, with a half-pitying glance at Jupiterba "ln their
Junior year, the High School teams won the football and basketball champion-
ships. The '27 boys on the teams did a lot of it, and they were duly appre-
ciated. Then the Class gave their play, 'A Pair of Sixesf lt was a super-
excellent-A-number-GM-plus play, according to the Junior Class. ln other
people 's opinions, it really was a good play.
"The Junior-Senior Banquet was held at the Country Club, and everyone
tried to act like country gentlemen-and ladies. The dinner was good, the
speeches better Cshort and sweetj, and the dancing best of all.
"The Senior pictures were goodlooking, and as usual caused quite a lot
of excitement around the school. Unfortunately, Miss Martin was unable to
confiscate any as contraband in the English 4-1 class.
"The Senior rings looked twice their price, and at a short distance, or any
kind of distance you want, the girls' rings looked like huge solitaires.
"The Tiger Staff chosen by the class was sure to give the time-honored
Bengal a 'run for its money'. The Class officers were good ones too, including
one of the Favored Five with un-bobbed hair.
"Altogether, they had a 'keen' Class in their Senior year, because most
of those unable to-keep up had lost out by the well-known eliminations tests!
"Toward the end of their Senior year, the Class of '27--" CBut the
butler had Hown in to announce dinner, and the circle of gods on Mount
Olympus broke up and went inside to the usual fare of ambrosia Ellld nectarj

Class Will
We, the class of 1927 of the Edwardsville High School, situated in the
county of Madison, the state of Illinois, in realization of the fact that we are
about to walk through the valley of the shadow of life, declare this to be our
last will and testament. We take occasion, here, to say that no wills hereto-
fore effected by us are valid. We believe we are, in all respects, whatever, much
more brilliant than foregoing classes and declare ourselves absolutely sane and
of positively charged mental powers.
Here we are, and leaving behind us our most valuable and cherished pos-
sessions, we hope to remain in the memories of our younger more unfortunate
brothers and sisters, and we will die in peace since we have the assurance
that they will carefully guard the things justly falling to them by succession.
We testify to the following bequeathals:
1. Rebecca Allen leaves the ripple of her mirth for the outside drinking
fountain to express.
2. Rex Monroe leaves his wise cracks tif they may be so calledj to the
nut cracker, i.e., the principal.
3. Henry Armstrong leaves his heart breaking ca1'eer to be carried on by
his lovely little sister, Suzanne.
4. Beulah Bold leaves her flute-like warble to the E. H. S. Hall of Fame.
5. Emily Berner leaves her broad smile and giggle to Frank Perkaus.
6. Elsie Berman reluctantly allows Mildred Balke to continue the gossip.
7, Clem and Clyde, the Senior's Pride, bequeath their hard earned
trophies to the trophy cabinet.
8. Monsieur Gordon Burroughs leaves his Ritzy manners to Gottlieb
Schumacker.
9. Lauretta Gerne bequeaths her novel "High School Romances" to the
E. H. magnificent library.
10. Mary Eaton leaves her shallow coquetry and vamping to Ruth
Whiteside.
11. Roy Fruit leaves Georgetta W0l'Ll6H to the tender mercies of Jack
Darr and his Ford.
12. Charles Erspamer leaves his heart with Miss Martin, or at least
she keeps it.
13. Hedwig Fahrig bequeaths her surplus weight to Alice Bast, the
nymph.
14. Paul Hess leaves his altitude at Emmett Kane ls disposal, and returns
his hypotenuse to the Trig Book.
15. Bernard Scalan leaves the extremity of his former name to the stu-
dent body as a tongue twister.
16. Charles Wentz leaves that unearthly Qperhaps celestialj chuckle for
gurglej to Marian Mead.
17. Earle Rant leaves many broken hearts and takes much love with
him, and that's veritable.

eFwm.. The
unior Class History
It was a gray, cloudy day. The threatening weather had kept me indoors.
I had been wandering aimlessly seeking some sort of diversion when the ring
of the bell brought me to the front door. There stood my favorite aunt. I do
not know whether her red hair or her jovial, fun-seeking nature influenced me
in this decision, but she had always been my favorite aunt.
I knew by the twinkle in her eyes she had something planned.
"Guess what Ilve come over here for! We're going rummaging in the
attic."
"OhI" I said, and started on a run for the attic stairs.
When we came to the dusty, cobwebby old attic we stood panting breath-
lessly before vigorously attacking the trunks and chests. I thrust my hand
into a peculiar looking box and felt a book. Drawing it out, I asked my aunt
what it was.
She gave it a look and exclaimed, "Why my dear, that is my 1927 Tiger!
The Tiger was our High School Annual."
She seated herself on the edge of a trunk, a dirt smudge on the end of her
nose and an atrocious-looking hat at a rakish angle on her head. Seeming
to forget me she gazed wistfully out of the window and began to speak.
'4We came up in 1924, scared little green Freshies, running around trying
to find the elevator to the tenth floor or bothering Mr. Krumsiek to change our
Algebra from the second to the ninth period. We were laughable! We all
attended the school parties, invariably arriving too early. When the party
began we would not join in any of the games but stood around looking on.
We passed the year safely and even tried to mock the Seniors the last few
months of school.
"Our Sophomore year was quite different. We were a little surer of our-
selves. At parties our pep could not be beaten. Beside being such social lions,
we were progressing in other ways. Under the supervision of Miss Gewe we
published a paper called the 'Tattle Talei. It meant work, but we stuck to it.
In athletics our boys always excelled. They always tried to keep in training,
the star athlete keeping in trim by his nightly walks on a certain street!
"Our Junior year was a glorious year. We considered ourselves far
above the Sophomores and Freshmen and even began to assume the dignity
and infallibility of the Seniors. Our Junior party was one of the best given.
Nevertheless these va1'ious activities did not keep our names from the honor
roll. We belonged to all sorts of clubs and associations. We were a very
happy bunch.
"In regard to our Senior year--.H Just then my mother called us
down for tea. My aunt walked slowly down, reluctant to leave old memories.

At last we're out of Freshmanville. Won't someone please tell our e11-
gineer Mr. Dahm to hurry? There-that's better! We're full fiedged Soph-
omores now. Well, let 's get settled. It 's a long journey to Juniorville.
Please quit yelling, Bob McCormick. This is an intellectual train and all
infants are barred. Hold on to Marie and Lucille. Theyire trying to get out
and join the Junior and Senior trains. We wonder why? And don it stop at
Collinsville. We might lose someone!
Aren't some people funny? Why everybody in school except the Seniors,
Juniors, and Freshmen, know that the Sophomores have the best class. We
simply can 't understand them.
Let's give fifteen for our class olficers-Ralph, Muriel, and Dale. Come
on everybody-Yell! Oh yes, of course the E. H. S. cheer leaders are Soph-
omores-Bgbbie and Buddie.
Quit pushing, Ben. You know you haven 't conquered Caesar yet so you
neednlt try to get up to the front coach even if Muriel is there.
If you get right down to it I guess the Sophomores do take the lead in
everything. Just look at that Honor Roll. My, we didn lt know there were
so many Sophomores in school.
What! Hazel fell out while we were crossing the river of matrimony?
This is so sudden!
Oh! Here is the long black tunnel of mid-year exams. Why didn't we
get in training sooner? These bouts with.Caesar and History are simply floor-
ing us. Well, it isn't so long as it might be. The light begins to appear again.
Some of us are rather dazed. Guess the smoke was too dense.
And speaking of prominence. Well, the Mayoris son is in our class. And
sheiks! One look at Roscoe and you Hoat around in the clouds all the rest
of the day.
How did that clown get on this train? He certainly is silly. Oh, pardon
us, it 's only Henry Eaton.
What is this little hamlet? Oh Yes! "Prep Station." lt sounds familiar
to some of us. No, Bob Spillman, you don 't get off here.
Why are we stopping? Why, for the Freshman-Sophomore Party.
There'1l be no need to go into detail about that. lt's always a snap. Just
couldn't be otherwise.
Don't cry about it, Artrude. You can't help it because they don't give
more than 100.
We have twins, too. Jerome-Hubert, and Ralph-Ruth. Look pleasant,
children. '
Well, here we are at our destination. Juniorvillel We do hate to end
this journey but l suppose all good things must end sometime. So, everyone
out for Juniorville. Uon't get left anyone. 4

The Class 0161930
Our ambitious and self-asserting class entered E. H. S. on September 1,
1926. We were neither, timid nor brazen but we tried Cand we think we suc-
ceededj in striking the happy medium. Perhaps Latin and Algebra suffered
the first few days, but then 110 one is perfect. After those few days, however,
we settled down to work and showed our teachers what we could do.
We were all just waiting for a chance to show everyone what we could
do Cthough only Freshiesj, when the four one-act class plays were announced.
Thanks to Miss Martin is coaching, and her choice of a splendid, hard-working
cast, we took the prize, a picture, "A Distinguished Member of the Humane
Society," which hangs on the wall of the third floor corridor near 301. This
was the first mile stone on our journey along the road to Knowledge and Fame.
We did not emerge from the "War of Semester Exams" without some
scars of battle and several casualties. However, we withstood that attack
very well in comparison with the complete routes meted out to some of the
other fighting u11its which make up the great army of E. H. S.
In February the 'fPreps" came to swell our ranks. We must admit that
our attitude towards them was somewhat patronizing, since to us veterans HD
they seemed quite green Csince this is the new H. S. they could not say it was
merely the reflection from the wallsj. But that feeling soon Wore off and we
accepted them as fellow members of the glorious old Hthirtiethn.
Our loyalty to the basketball and football teams was unquestioned and
we tried to be good sports Cneedless to say our support of the tennis and track
teams will be equalj. We came to fight for recognition and to give the best
we have and so far, we have succeeded.
The class as a whole is a fine one and we expect big things of it. So when
you are listing organizations which do big things don 't forget the class of 1930.

Reminiscence
Tapestry-that's what our school years are like-rare, old tapestry, shot
through with colors-gleaming with silver and gold-against a background
of black.
Four years of colorful existence-the scarlet, symbolistic of the ardor,
eagerness, and ambition truly representative of our athletic events, the jade
and saffron of pleasant friendships and happy hours-like the green and yel-
low of a laughing plot of marigolds, the blue, clear and dazzling, clean-cut,
as it were, the blueness of honest eyes, and honest fair lives, and the black, the
black of little disappointments and failures, which serves only to intensify and
emphasize the sheen and ripple of the reds, greens, and yellows. And the
gold, the gold and silver of lofty aspiration, of hopes-yet to be fulfilled-
like the full golden moon and silver stars out of reach. Our tapestry-our
high school years.
A fanciful thought-extravagant idea-a tapestry existing only in our
imagination and in our memories-but isn't it glorious, nevertheless, to pore
over them as an artist over a dusty masterpiece or a poet over a shabby, rare,
edition of Omar Khayyam?

Clyde was ehosen to head the Edwardsville Eleven during the season of
'26, Never failing to live up to our highest expectations, he led his teams in
sueh a manner to leave no doubt in the minds of the fans, in regard to the
victors. His fighting spirit, in spite of injuries during the Collinsville game,
is a shining example yet to be imitated.

Football Review
STAUNTON ,..........,,.,..,,. HERE ..........,..,...... OCTOBER 2 ......V............. 8-0
Our initial game with the Staunton huskies, played in our own back yard, did not
add much to the credit of either team. On the muddy field, both teams played a slow
defensive game, marked with many fumbles. Although on several occasions we suc-
ceeded in approaching within scoring distance, an Edwardsville safety was the only
score until a Stauntonite intercepted a last minute pass and crossed our goal unopposed,
for the only touchdown of the day, leaving the score 8-0.
LITCHFIELD ....,...,......... THERE ............,.,... OCTOBER 9 .,.,...........,.. 9-0
Following a week of diligent practice the High School Football team travelled to
Litchfield for their first victory. Showing considerable improvement the team out-fought
and out-played their heavier opponents.
In the first quarter, Young crossed the opposing goal, with the aid of good inter-
ference on the part of Bothman and Heidinger. A place kick completed the score 9-0.
WOOD RIVER ..,..,.,..,..... THERE ..,............. OCTOBER A15 ...,,........... 28-0
After the non-conference victory at Litchiield we opened our Conference season with
the Wood River game at Wood River where our team easily outplayed their heavier
opponents, Touchdowns were scored by Young and Captain Bothrnan.
The playing of the men was exceptional, especially that of Clem Bothman and
Fiegenbaum. In the second half Coach used 26 different players who gained experience.
The game ended with the score 28-0 in our favor.

BELLEVILLE .......,,....,.A HERE ..........,.....,. OCTOBER 22 .,................ 21-9
Mindful of the defeat suffered last year at the hands of Belleville, the local warriors
entered this game in a revengeful mood. Scored on and outplayed during the first quar-
ter, the team redeemed themselves by a last minute rally in the second, which left the
score 9-7, still our opponent's favor.
In the second half an overwhelming fighting spirit generated by Young and Clem
brought us touchdown after touchdown, so that when the team emerged from the mud
and water the score remained 21-9 in our favor.
ALTON ..............,....... HERE ,...........,,,,.,.. OCTOBER 30 ,,..,......,,,....., ..13-0'
One day during the rainy season we met the fast Alton team on our own field.
Young retained the upper hand in the punting duel the first half.
The second half started with a blocked Alton punt with which Fiegenbaum secured
a touchdown. Our team soon pounded its way over for another touchdown and left the
score 13-0. Erspamer, our left end, was the outstanding player in this game.
JERSEYVILLE ..........,...,. HERE ....,.........,, NOVEMBER 6 ................ 33-6
Edwardsville beat the overgrown "Orange and Blacks" from Jersey County in an
easy game in which Heidinger and Cassens showed at their best. At the half the
"seconds" were sent in who immediately aided Berleman feature a 60 yard for a touch-
down. In the final moments the opposing gridmen scored a touchdown leaving the
score 32-6. Hats off to our understudies!

All previous games and victories paled into insignificance when on Armistice Day
the Blodget men went to Collinsville to represent the school in its most important game.
Early in the first quarter the great crowd of supporters saw our determined spirit
coupled with thorough football go crashing for tl1e one and only touchdown of the day.
Fiegenbaum's brilliant tackling and Captain Hothman's injuries were typical of the
dcggedness with which our "Tigers" fought. One of the hardest contests of theirlives
was fought by those twenty-two players on that memorable field.
GRANITE ........,,.,.... THERE .,,.....,..,...... NOVEMBER 18 .,,,.,,,,,........ 19-0
The lligh School team defended their conference standing on Granite's Wind-swept
snow-strewn field. Trick plays had no effect on our "Bengals" who rapidly scored
several touchdowns. Youngfs fine runs and Heidinger's line plunges featured the game,
which was generally dull a11d uninteresting, due to the bad condition of the field.
The second team soon replaced the first and when the game ended the score was 19-0.
EAST ST. LOUIS .............. HERE .............. NOVEMBER 25 ,............. 12-O
The football teams of Edwardsville and East St. Louis clashed on the local field to
decide conference supremacy. Players on both teams playing their last game for their
Alma Maters expended their best in a heart-breaking contest. On the worst of muddiest
fields the game became a struggle in which the luckiest team wo11. East Side gained
a touchdown on a cleverly masked pass in the first, quarter. Facing this and other
disadvantages our team slowly crumpled until a bad pass from center gave our op-
ponents the deciding touchdown.

Summary
We have endeavored to do justice to all in the previous Writeups. We
have mentioned several players who at various times featured or stood out
conspicuously. Nevertheless these could never have won any games alone
without the consistent co-operation of the remaining men. Among these Hre-
liables" Lamkin, Snadjr and Fink stand out foremost, but Gerhardt and Wiley
should not be forgotten.
Much credit is due to the entire "scrub" squad who helped whip the team
in shape. Among the Senior members of the Scrub, Duffy, Tittle and Fruit
narrowly missed gaining their letters. Of the underclassmen, Baird, William-
son, Reilly, and Sager are promising prospects. These are merely a few of the
group that toiled daily to train our team into fighting order.
Afterworci
Departing from custom this year we have omitted individual write-ups
in the sport section. The reason for this is obvious. To the ability of some,
fine phrases and colorful adjectives could not do justice, and to that of others
they would be exaggerated. So in order to avoid incongruities of this sort We
merely wish to say that the men of the teams of i26-'27 deserve an equal por-
tion of credit. Each man attained his standing only because of the co-opera-
tion of the rest of the team. Each knows his true value, whether high or other-
wise-that should be sufficient. On the team taken as a whole, there were
no individual stars, all worked for the common good and were equally good.
A Word from the Captain
The football team of Edwardsville High School has gone through another season
adding more laurels to its credit.
From the outset, the team had been handicapped by the loss of much varsity ma-
terial of last year. The training of raw material to fill the vacant positions was a diffi-
cult problem indeed.
The weather man went against. us and created another problem. He managed to
keep the iield in such condition that only one game of nine was played on a thoroughly
dry field.
These conditions affected certain games to the extent of even changing the tide of
battle from the best team to the luckiest. Taking all these points into consideration,
who can dispute that the team of '26 had not been successful?
Out of its total of nine games the team won seven and lost two, one of which was
a non-Conference match. It tied for first place with Collinsville after having beaten
them in a battle royal. And what's more and best it won or lost all of its games while
playing straight clean football!
-Captain Bothman.

'A Word from the Captain
Although the team of '26-'27 has not jumped into prominence by winning a cham-
pionship or tournament it has proved that it was of championship material.
Working under several disadvantages the team did not get a good start until it was
too late. Our gym, which is inadequate and poorly equipped was the greatest of our
drawbacks. The loss of our veteran guards was another severe blow to our champion-
ship hopes. But the greatest of our handicaps this year was non-support of the fans.
Only a small percentage of the school turned out to see the team win or lose.
This indifference affected the morale of the team and contributed to several of our
defeats.
So while we are building next year's championship team, let's see if you fans cannot
decide to give it your presence and unlimited support.
-Captain Young.

Basketball Review
DECEMBER 10 .,...,...........,...,........ MT. OLIVE ....,,.........,....,,,,...... HERE'
Our first game with Mt. Olive sadly showed our lack of experience. The team
played its best, nevertheless the opposing quintet easily gained and held the advantage.
At the end of the game the score stood 20-5 in favor of our more versatile opponents.
DECEMBER 14 .,,...........,............... STAUNTON ,,..l...,.,..,................ HERE
The week following the Mt. Olive defeat was spent in intensive training for the
team. Its passing, dribbling and shooting showed considerable mprovement since the
fray with Mt. Olive. This game was uneventful and slow but valuable for practice
purposes. Although the score was close, we won 10-9.
DECEMBER 17 ........................ EAST ST. LOUIS ........... 1 ............ HERE
On December 17 we met our Nemesis of the football season on our own basketball
floor. The East Side team showed its ability to extend its conquests in all fields by out-
playing and out-scoring the locals in a hard-fought contest. Although eager and willing,
our men were nervous and missed many passes. In spite of this, their defense was
unusually good and succeeded in holding East Side to a 12-8 score. Kane was our high
point man.
DECEMBER 30 ................................ ALUMNI ................................ HERE
The "gym" was filled with eager supporters to see the battle between the "old timers"
and the regulars. The fast, interesting game provided plenty of thrills. Although "the
stars of another day" led consistently, the team kept their pace and with Kane's fine
shots constantly tied the score. In the last lapse of the game, the score being tied, Clyde
Bothman and Ahrens both scored completing the score and winning the game, 16-20.
JANUARY 7 .................................... ALTON .................................... HERE
The basketball fans of the vicinity were given a generous treat when the Alton
quintet clashed with the Edwardsville five on the local floor. Although we led the first
quarter, the Altonites gained the lead at the half. This they held throughout the game,
which was fast and exciting. The final moment saw Alton in a scant lead until it was
broken up by the invincible combination of Berleman, Bert and Kane. The score was
15-14 in our favor when the shot sounded.
JANUARY 11 ............................ BELLEVILLE ............................ THERE
The team traveled to Belleville for its first out-of-town game, where an easy victory
awaited them. The game dragged along slowly to the end when Belleville almost tied
the score. At the last minute Kane slipped in a difficult one making the score 10-13
and our victory.

Young having 10 points to his credit.
JANUARY 21 ..,.................,.,... COLLINSVILLE .......................... THERE
After our Wood River victory, hopes ran high for our chances in the Collinsville
contest. The Kahoks started off brilliantly, but the "Bengals" gradually crept up. Col-
linsville led in the scoring which remained constant until the fourth quarter. Here the
E. H. S. defense cracked and Collinsville was able to raise the score to 21-11 ltheir
favorl before the final whistle.
JANUARY 22 .....,,..................... JERSEYVILLE ............,............... HERE
In a game similar to that at Wood River the High School boys gained the advantage
from the onset and were able to keep it. The opposing "Orange and Blacks" could not
break through our strong defense and were kept down to a 20-6 score. Young's scoring
featured the game.
JANUARY 28 ..,..................,.... GRANITE CITY .......................... THERE A
In an exciting whirl-wind game our Tigers fell prey to the Granite City "Wild Cats."
The game was a thorough see-saw from the first quarter to the last gun. Young led in
points but Kane and Ahrens amply demonstrated their ability. With the score tied
Granite made their winning basket in an over-time period, making the score 22-20.
JANUARY 29 ......,..................... GREENVILLE ............................ HERE
With the Bothman Twins playing their last game in High School, Edwardsville
played Greenville in a slow but interesting game. The strain of the Granite City game
contributed to our defeat. In spite of the odds, Young and Ahrens were able to score
a number of points. We lost 20-8.
FEBRUARY 1 ..,..................... EAST ST. LOUIS .............,......,.,. THERE
Meeting the East Side team in their second game, E. H. S. had hopes of a victory.
In spite of our delayed offense East Side secured and kept a strong lead. The game

Alton met our warriors in grand style, scoring six points over their heads. Young

FEBRUARY 11 ...l......,,,,...,..,...., WOOD RIVER ,,,,.....,.....,,,...... ..THERE
Although picked to win, Edwardsville's scoring the first three quarters did not bear
out the "dope". Young and Ahrens succeeded in tying the score until the end of the
game. In the over-time period Ahrens scored the winning basket for us. The score
was 18-16.
FEBRUARY 25 .....,.................... COLLINSVILLE .......................,.. HERE
In a hard-fought but losing fight the locals dropped their second game to Collinsville.
Bert and Kane played their usual game but were not able to prevail against the Kahoks'
strong defense. Collinsville played a fine game and won with a score of 23-7.
FEBRUARY 26 ........................ JERSEYVILLE ............ ............ T HERE
The Blodget men encountered Jerseyville for the second time this year. Unfortun-
ately our team could not get together and many lucky breaks fell to the opposing team
who played a faster and more brilliant game. In spite of our defeat, Young and Ahrens
played their usual game and contributed their share to the 26-19 score.
MARCH 1 ................................ GRANITE CITY ................................ HERE
In a smooth but easy game the "Bengals" met and defeated the Granite quintet by
a score of 12-21. Young, Ahrens and Berleman contributed greatly to our score with
some fine shots.
MADISON COUNTY TOURNAMENT
Drawing for the Madison County Tournament E. H. S. onlv succeeded in drawing
Collinsville, twice our victor previously, for their opponents. Picked as possible winners
the Kahoks justified the choice. The team held their larger and more adept opponents
for almost a quarter until Collinsville suddenly forged ahead. Because of the unbalanced
score of 32-9 the game was slow and uninteresting.
DISTRICT TOURNAM ENT
Jerseyville found us for the Iirst game of the District Tournament. Our boys got
an excellent start and were able to keep it without much difficulty. The game was fast
and our Tigers increased their score continuously until Young went out on fouls. Jersey-
ville crept up but our victory was soon assured by the gun. The final score was 26-19.
In spite of our previous victory Alton eliminated us in the afternoon session. We
lost the slow dragging game with the score of 13-9.

Summary
How little we are capable of applauding the virtues of our basketball men
after seeing the fans do so. But we do hope that the mention of a few inci-
dents will aid the followers of the team of'26-'27 remember the rest. Who
could forget Captain Young's versatile playing who truly led his team into
action. His numerous field-goals are his credentials. Then Kane the high
point star of many games. The seeming grace and ease of his shots is yet to
be excelled. This brings us to Ahrens who brought the team out of many
a hole. Then to Berleman whose numerous wonder-shots hold us dazed yet.
The Bothman twins need no mention, past that of name, for their playing
of three years is that of a pair of perfectly trained veterans who did not forget
the basket. Gerhardt and Cassens who took the place vacated by the Both-
mans certainly raised themselves high in our estimation by their super-guard-
ing in many a game.
Finally Lamkin and Tittle, our Senior lettermen who ably demonstrated
more than passing ability on more than one occasion, could be counted on
whenever a sure and steady man was required.
Qther Sports
Tennis
In the development of the new grounds the Board of Education took care
that a fine set of tennis courts should be included. This fact fit in very nicely
when the Conference accepted Tennis as a Major Sport and authorized inter-
scholastic competition.
Although Edwardsville High School has previously had Tennis meets
with other schools, the real foundation may be said to have started last spring.
The doubles team played 7 matches but was too new and inexperienced to
overcome any of their opponents. ln singles we succeeded in taking a match
but this affected our standing but little. The fact of importance is that with
the material now in school E. H. S. can hope to develop Championship Tennis
teams in the near future. .

This meet was scheduled to be a triangular meet, but Jerseyville dropped

Sulnmary
The Track Season of 1926 was the most successful one we have ever had in
the Edwardsville High School. This is unusual because of the cramped facil-
ities and lack of equipment. Nevertheless Track is 11ow rated equally with
Football and Basketball as a major sport and is gradually gaining in its
amount of supporters.
Young, the best and most versatile runner that E. H. S. ever had certainly
has contributed much towards the success of our school on the cinder path.
Gerhardt, another star of the past year, is no laggard on the distance runs by
any means and shows even greater promise for the future. Buckley, Macha,
and Ax were other men who were instrumental in the acquiring of trophies.
And above all, the relay team, the best we've ever had deserves very much
credit. Heidingcr, Erspamer, and Ochs were all hard working runners who
at all times gave their best.
The number of lettermen with Bert Young at their head and the develop-
ment of the new Track promises well for the season 1927.

Activities
HALLOWE'EN PARTY
Our traditional Hallowe'en party was held at the Ju11ior High gymnasium
on Friday, October 30. Most of the attendants were in costume and the prizes
that were given were certainly merited. We had no idea our teachers and
school-fellows could deceive us so thoroughly. The refreshments served, fitted
the occasion and what's more they were ample. But who could eat in such
an environment-for the decorating committee surely had done their work
splendidly. After the awarding of prizes a few males and the majority of
females indulged in the art of terpisehore with music by a "home-made"
orchestra, who certainly deserved much credit for their splendid rendition.
CLASS PLAYS
Each of the four classes in Iligh School presented a one-act play at the
Junior High School auditorium on the evening of November 2, for the dual
benefit of tl1e Athletic Association and the Band. A very good performance-
"The Obstinate Family"-was given by the Juniors. This was followed by
"This Way Outf' by the Sophomores. Needless to say it did not deserve the
name at all. The Seniors in all their dignity and talent next presented "The
Trysting Place," in an excellent and captivating manner. hast, but not least,
the Freshmen carried off the honor with "The Heart of Pierette" in a very
clever a11d successful bit of acting.
FOOTBALL BANQU ET
The Annual Football Banquet was held December 22 at the New Iligh
School under the supervision of Miss Helfron and the Cooking Class. Several
members of the Faculty and the lioard of Education made interesting talks,
on various subjects concerning Athletics. The repast was excellent and served
in a very becoming manner. All those present professed to have had a very
enjoyable time and extended a vote of thanks to the hostesses. After the
dinner, there was a short ceremony during which the letters were awarded by
Mr. Blodget. A short complimentary talk was made with each award.
"TH E GYPSY ROVER"
The Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Bridges gave a splendid oper-
etta entitled "The Gypsy Rover" on lleeember 9, at the Junior Iligh School
Auditorium.
1927' . var
' Eighty-One
The well-chosen cast of characters, supported by the good work of several
choruses, succeeded in achieving a real triumph. Their interpretation and
reproduction of the theme of the plot made the operetta thoroughly interesting
and amusing. Henry Armstrong as the leading characterand Adeline Kriege
as heroine certainly justified their choice.
SENIOR PARTY
Acting on the request of many of its members, the Senior Class treated
itself to a party all its own, late in the month of November. The feature for
the evening was an automobile carnival in which the group designating them-
selves as "Buicks', won.
A chosen few from each' group engaged in a chewing gum "pull" while
the rest of us stood around and waited for our mouths to stop watering. After
appropriate refreshments Hcompulsoryn dancing was adopted. The boys hope
the girls enjoycd it as well as they did!
JUNIOR PARTY
The Junior class yielded to the general agitation and gave itself a treat
in form of a party at the gym on the night of January 17. All present agreed
in saying that the party was the best given by the Juniors for a long time in
spite of its unusually small attendance. After the very appetizing refresh-
ments, dancing took its place as the main feature of the evening.
SOPHOMORE-FRESH MAN PARTY
On the special invitation of the Sophomores, the Freshmen became their
guests at a Washingtoii party on the evening of February 23.
Amusing games and contests of various sorts took place i11 which the
faculty were prominent among the winners. Following these amusements
came the Virginia Reel-the feature of the evening. Everyone participated
and enjoyed himself to the greatest extent. After the refreshments, there was
dancing in which many took part until the time set for leaving.
SENIOR PARTY
After the huge success of their previous party, the Seniors resolved to
invite themselves to another evening of fun and amusement. The committee
provided for the feature of the evening a game called "Senior" which was
equally absorbing and appropriate. Forgetting their dignity and demeanor
the faculty joined the truant Seniors in what appeared to be a whooping con-
test, but was o11ly the common method of procedure.

The CI'
Following the completion of the game innovating and yet substantial re-
freshments appeared. The class soon resolved itself into a multitude of trip-
pers of the fantastic toe Cbeginners exceptedj in a manner to prove that in
spite of all its draw-backs the last year in high school is the best. The party
was held on the evening of March 19.
ART EXHIBIT
Following the precedent established in other years, an Art Exhibit was
held at the High School during the evenings of March 2-3-4.
The Student Body co-operated with the Faculty in selling tickets and
backing the venture. To this, more than anything else, is due the success of
the Exhibit.
The benefits will be used to secure the badly needed pictures for our High
School Walls. -
The success was greatly enhanced by the fact that certain prominent
citizens, firms and High School organizations purchased and donated to the
School a multitude of pictures. The School wishes to extend its appreciation
to all of these and assure them of its gratitude.
TEACH ERS' PARTY
The E. H. S. teachers entertained all the Junior High teachers on St.
Patrick's eve at the New High School.
There were many novelties during the program consisting of guessing
contests, lock step races and other interesting features. Bridge, Buneo and
Five Hundred furnished amusement for a greater part of the evening.
The refreshments were extraordinarily delicious and were enjoyed by all.
The losers of the lockstep, adorned in green, served the winners also appropri-
ately gowned.
The teachers all united in saying that the party was the greatest success
of the kind ever attempted in the history of our High School.
ALL GIRLS' PARTY
The annual Girls' Party was given at the Junior High School gym the
evening of March 25.
Various games and contests entertained those present throughout the
evening. "The Virginia Reel" occupied the position of prominence until the
presentation of "The Gathering of the Nuts." This play was staged under
the direction of Mary Eaton, and was intensely enjoyed by all.

1927
Dancing furnished amusement for the remainder of the evening. Suffi-
cient to say, the refreshments were excellent and contributed much toward
the party 's success. All present were unanimous in accrediting the party as
the Hbest ever."
BASKETBALL PARTY
Instead of the usual banquet given this year exclusively for the lettermen,
the school decided to have a whole school affair. The party was held on
Thursday evening, March 31. In spite of the downpour of rain, a very large
number attended and enjoyed themselves to the greatest extent. A miniature
basketball tournament was carried out to the immense amusement of all
entered. The basketball letters were awarded to the lettermen while the cook-
i11g class made a special award of a large slice of cake.
Dancing featured the rest of the evening which .was confessed to be one
of the best ever.
HOCKEY
Girls' athletics have again resumed their former position among school
activities with the adoption of hockey. Under the supervision of Miss Fruit
the girls have trained to develop a team which may in the future take its place
among the varsity teams of E. H. S. In spite of the time and effort spent the
girls enjoyed themselves very much and received the benefit of the excellent
training. For practice, three teams were organized.
VOLLEY BALL
This year for the first time the High School has had a Girls' Volley Ball
Team. Under the able direction of Miss Swanson the girls have taken a great
interest in the sport and devoted much of their time to it. The team which is
composed mostly of Freshmen and Sophomores practiced hard last fall and
they have again resumed their practice this spring. As a result a very promis-
ing team for the next year is anticipated.
The Hustlers and The Stars were teams organized.
TATTLE TALE
The Tattle Tale has completed its second successful year of publication
under the guidance of the members of the Junior Class. The paper has filled
a need long apparent, in regard to a publication that would record the activ-
ities in school as they occurred. There is no doubt as to its practical value as
a school paper, for it tends to bridge the long gaps between the issues of the
Tiger. The permanency of the Journal is practically assured and we hope
that it may be able to extend its circulation and frequency, in the near future.

The Tlqef
The success of the monthly is due to the efforts of the editors, Miss Gewe,
the Faculty Advisor, and the entire Junior Class who contributed and devoted
themselves to its publication. '
DEBATING CLUB
The Debating Club is an altogether new activity among High School or-
ganizations. lt was formed under the direction of Miss Macnair who has
assumed the responsibilities as coach. The Club has several outside meets
under consideration, as the Tiger goes to press. ln spite of its inexperience
the team proved its mettle in the first meet against the Granite City team by
winning the negative side and losing the affirmative by a small margin.
"STOP 'ri-HEP" '
The Junior Play was given March 28, at the Wildey Theater. lt was a
success both financially and dramatically. All the players acted their parts
splendidly, but George Meyer, Helen Morgan, Robert Williaiiisoll and Georg-
etta Worden were the most outstanding.
Needless to say, Miss Stevens and the entire cast deserved all the credit
they received.

The end has come. This is true of many things.
This quiet ideal month of May is passing with all its
customary tranquility. With it passes our school
year-especially for the Seniors. Perhaps scores of
their friendships-regarded as everlasting, pass with
it. Perhaps some of their almost romantic romances
will end also. And here must end this book for
which We cannot claim to be sorry.
