The great schools of all 'nations Have their colors and their signs And heart thrills are awakened As their banners fall in line. S0 the Belleville Township High School Has its colors true and brightg And loyal hearts sing praises Of the dear Maroon and White II. Four years we serve our colors, Get our lessons hard and long. Four years we cheer our labors With a gay and cheerful song. Back our athletes in their struggles, As they strive with all their might For the honor and the glory Of the dear Maroon and White. III. These years will soon be over, And in life we'll take our wayg There prove the truths here taught us, Strength imparts for every day. Though heads may tint with silver, ' Hearts will always thrill at sight Of a banner, ribbon, pennant, Bearing old Maroon and White. lr-1'-I-1-Z-I-fs- - - - - - .-.-.ii-.

MQQWQ certain subtle, spiritual qual- ities which makes him calm in adversity, happy when alone, just in his dealings, rational and sane in the fullest meaning of that word in all the affairs of his life. Such a person must have been humble in the presence of great minds and great souls, must have been simple in contacts with his fel- lows and must have been indefatig- able in his desire to cultivate and maintain the power of his mind and to accumulate that knowledge which makes up the data of accu- rate reasoning. -H G- 9- UTA. -A ,A+ 4,-,fifwg-gf A--1,1-,-1+ -:A ,W H , H Page Ten X.. 5.5.2. 5.5. 5. 11 V.

The old man crossed in the twilight dim, The sullen stream had no fear for himg But he turned, when safe on the other side, And built a bridge to span the tide. Old man, said a fellow pilgrim near, You are wasting your strength with building here You never again will pass this way, You've crossed the chasm deep and wide, Why build you this bridge at evening tide? The builder lifted his old gray head, Good friend, in the path I have come, he said, There followeth after me to-day A youth whose feet must pass this way. This chasm that has been as naught to me To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall beg He, too, must cross in the twilight dim, Good friend, I am building this bridge for him.

Crass ' In keeping with the scientific age in which we live, our school is equip-- ped with excellent facilities for the teaching of science. All the science courses are one year in length in order that the students may gain more than a superficial acquaintance with the branches studied. All first year pupils are required to study biology. The equipping of another laboratory for this subject at the beginning of the year has made it impossible for a student to do the work of the freshman year without learning the essential laws of life and growth. In the second year, students may select physiography or botany. In the junior year, strong courses are given in Zoology and chemistry. Both of these courses were deservedly popular during the past year. The science of the senior year is physics. This course has been strengthened by the adoption of an up-to-date text book which makes it :L Htting conclusion for the science courses of the B. T. H. S. Modern Language Department Marguerite Skaar L. L. Carl The modern language department oiers two years of French to freshmen and sophomoresg two years of Spanish to juniors and seniors, and this year German has now been added to the curriculum. In the first year the work comprises a careful study of the fundament- tals of grammar, and the reading of a simple text. In the second year, more stress is laid on reading with composition and conversation as core- lated work. Although, generally speaking, the aim of modern language instruc- tion in high schools is to give a reading knowledge, the' practicability of a speaking knowledge is gradually becoming recognized and stressed more and more. After satisfactorily completing this two-year course in a language, students are well prepared to enter second year courses in college. Q 'Q 's 5 Q slsfs 's 'sfsAsAxAsA I Isfs:slS:SISI5. 5.

Hexter John Karch The department of mathematics offers the following courses: alge- bra I and II, geometry III and IV, algebra Vg geometry VI and trigonom- etry VII. College algebra VIII is offered upon demand. There is no subject, except the use of the mother tongue, which is so intimately connected with every day life and so necessary to the successful conduct of affairs, as is mathematics. Were the backbone of mathematics removed our material civilization would inevitably collapse. It is customary to distinguish three classes of aims that the teaching of mathematics should serve: C13 practical or utilitarian, Q21 discipline, Q85 cultural. - Practical or utilitarian aims means the immediate or direct usefulness in life of a fact, method or process in mathematics. Disciplinary aims include those aims which relate to mental training as distinguished from the acquisition of certain specific skills. Such train- ing involves the development of certain more or less general characteristics and the formation of certain mental habits which, besides being directly applicable in the setting in which they are developed or formed, are expect- ed to operate also in more or less closely related fields. Cultural aims include those somewhat less tangible, but none the less real and important intellectual, ethical and spiritual aims that are in- volved in the development of appreciation and insight and the formation of ideals of perfection. More specifically mention may be made of the de- velopment or acquisition of- CD appreciation of beauty in the geometrical forms of nature, art and industry, C25 ideals of perfection as to logical structure, precision of statement and of thought and logical reasoning, C35 appreciation of the power of mathematics-of what Byron expressive- ly called the power of thought, the' magic of the mind -and the role that mathematics and abstract thinking, in general, have played in the development of civilization, in particular in science, in industry, and in philosophy. Music Department L. L. Carl R. E. Rapp Music education has assured the properties of Big Business. Our school in its music department endeavors to contribute its share to the development of this business Our aim is to increase the interest of good music, to render the young people more intelligent, when listening to good rendition of standard music. The department takes care of at least two-thirds of the student body. The orchestra of forty pieces and the band of twenty members under the supervision of Mr. L. L. Carl do very good work. Members of the orches- tra and band receive one-fifth of a credit per semester. The piano students are instructed by Mr. R. E. Rapp. They receive a lesson once a week and one-fifth of a credit per semester. The music department belongs to the Southwestern High School Music Association, which was founded in 1904. -v -v.-vv--v- v-iv'-v-Q-Yavvw 'RA sA sAsA gsp sAsA A Asn sgsgsg sg 9. 5. S.

With this in mind, the English department of this school aims through the rhetoric work to teach each student to use and understand correct formsg through the public speaking work, to train him to face an audi- ence and speak distinctlyg through the study of literature to help him to appreciate the best. Students are required to take four years of English to graduate. ENGLISH FACULTY Mr. J. H.

Gunderson The value of having a sound body is being realized more and more all the time. No schools of any standing exclude physical education from their curricula, for all educators know and understand the importance of having a sound mind in a sound body. Physical training enables the muscles to act quickly and to be in instant obedience to the workings of the mind. It serves as an hour of recreation, and rests and refreshes the mind. ln this school physical training is compulsory because of the unlimit- ed good it is known to perform. -jsjsjqjgsgsj A' I gsjsgsgsjsA ' I ZsIsISZSISISfSIsZSZSISI P 1., Ffty-eight '-52161-f-i-fs:-1-ig . if Q'lw'jBELLEv1N01S al 'iiiiiriieiiisi 'U lb Q, F K History Department Jennie McElwain Florence Miller Dorothy Gower As the curriculum is now arranged three years of history are offered beginning with the sophomore year. Students may elect courses from any of the first four semesters, but in the senior year two subjects are re- quired of all students who wish to graduate. The study of European history begins with a course in the ancient period to about 500'A. D. This is followed in the second semester by a presentation of the history of the middle ages and the early modern period to 1648. In the junior year the entire course is in the field of modern European history with the semester division around 1848. The required courses are American history, which extends through the senior year and civics, which has been placed in the second semester of the same year. In the American history course a new text book written by W. B. Guitteau, under the title, The History of the United States, was intro- duced last September. This book which was just published in 1925 is meeting the approval of both the teachers and the students. It empha- sizes the progressive nature of American development and at the same time provides adequate material for a full year's course. The texts in the other courses are all of recent date and were written by some of the best American authors. To supplement the texts our school library has over three hundred volumes of history besides the books of general reference. The depart- ment also makes use of the Belleville Public Library. In connection with the courses much emphasis is placed on the writing of historical themes, the study of current topics, the collecting of illustrative material, and the making of outlines and maps in an effort to vitalize the social problems of the past and of the present. - v-vvv,- -v - Q-3 ni -v-'vJ v'I sfsf' :KA 3 QA xA sp sg sAsfsg sfszsg Iififin 5. sis.

A subject called vocations has recently been added to the course. It outlines the various -vocations and gives the requirements of each, and the purpose of it is to stabilize the several ambitions into one concentrated one, insuring a greater success.

Our grandmothers' problem was largely a problem of time and labor. Today the problem is different. The successful housewife should now be equipped with a general education and some knowledge of economic condi- tions so that she may purchase successfully the food and clothing for the family. The clothing department, consisting of laboratory, fitting and pres- sing rooms, offers training in the selection and construction of clothing and millinery. ' The model apartment providing living room, dining room, bed room, bath and kitchen, Where the girls learn to use efficient methods in house- keeping and the adjoining foods laboratory and laundry room, offers that training which makes a graduate of this department the queen of her home.

The object of all vocational training is to fit the student for useful employment. The aim of vocational agriculture is to prepare boys for the work on the farm. The vocational law sets up certain requirements for the local schools, which in agriculture are sane and practical. Each boy enrolled must carry on six months of farm practice under the supervision and instruction of the teacher of agriculture. This farm Work usually becomes a project in which the boy has a financial interest. Work is done, records are kept, studies are made and instruction is given, both in school and out, based upon the project. Last year 16 pupils of agriculture carried on projects which netted them 557,918.95 In addition to this the boys paid themselves, at the rate of 20 cents per hour, 3563.80 for labor. They proved their ability to handle such projects successfully with the help of their parents and agriculture instructor. This department has a room equipped primarily for instruction in agriculture. It is sufficiently equipped to demonstrate the ordinary improv- ed scientific methods of testing milk, incubating eggs, brooding chicks, grafting trees, pruning, testing soils, propagating plants, etc. A good col- lection of reference books and bulletins relating to the courses offered, and several good farm papers and periodicals are available for the use of the agriculture pupils. The school offers four years of agriculture. One of general agricul- ture and three of vocational agriculture to which a 90-minutes period is devoted daily. The department of vocational agriculture in this school stands ready to help, not only the boys who enroll in the classes, but all the agricultural interest of the community. ,Z Is 1 slysf sfsgsfsQsfs: sls 151 js js is js js 351535 jg jgj. gggsjszszgjl Page Sixty-three 545-A rf s,is5fA'sAsAsA A A AsAsAsA!AsA 5 5 S 5 1 5.5... vf f:v,53.X,,,f.1,1.1.1qy.Ml fU'lwEf3ELLEv1No1S M .g.g.:.1.g.1.f-1. Art Department Dorothy McClain 1 Art is a quality, resulting from the conscious or sub-conscious appli- cation of principles to man-created things.

QU'hCEBELLEVlN0IS 'i .ii'sg.gg,js Q. gl Commercial Department Realizing that a large number of high school pupils enter commercial pursuits, a thorough and well organized commercial department has been developed. . The department aims to train those who Will enter business and clerical occupations either at the end, or before the completion, of their high school period and to give a basic training for those Who Wish to con- tinue their commercial studies at higher institutions of learning. There are six instructors in the department. Two Well equipped rooms are devoted to the teaching of bookkeeping, one to typewriting and one to sho1'thand. Other rooms are used for the instruction in business arithmetic, economics, commercial law, commercial geography, salesman- ship and advertising. Three courses are offered-a complete four-year commercial course, a two-year business course and a two-year stenographic course. Social Sciences The purpose of the Social Science Department is to develop in the individual a sense of responsibility as a member of the various social groups to which he belongs and to develop in him the intelligence and the will to take an active part in the promotion of the social well-being.

Throughout this time the course aims to make the study of the language practical as well as cultural. The co- relation between the Latin and the English is stressed and emphasized. In the first year the student spends as much time on the study of English grammar as he does on Latin grammar. In connection with thetranslation of Caesar's Commentaries and Cicero's Orations he studies the customs and history of the Romans in detail. 'Vergil is read the fourth year. The Cafeteria The Cafeteria is serving a larger number of students than ever before and is keeping up its high standard of qual- ity and efficiency. Mrs. Jones and her efficient helpers de- serve praise for their good work and uniformly courteous treatment of all patrons. They do not mind going to the trouble to prepare sandwiches for the hungry youngsters after school hours at considerable inconvenience to the cafe force itself. r Special effort is given to keep the food wholesome and appetizing at the lowest cost possible, for the cafeteria is run to cover cost only. A few units of equipment have been added this year to meet the larger demands made upon this institution. v Y v v 'W i v v -r-fv n1AsAsAsAs1:AsAs+xAsA L 1' -S.5.5.S.5, 5. 5. 9 5 s s's's's's's's's's' . , OUTLINE OF COURSES.

The first game of the best football season in the history of the B. T. H. S. ended in defeat for the Maroon and White warriors. East Side's heavy line and fast backfield were too much for Coach Gunderson's inex- perienced team. p The ball was in Belleville territory most of the time. East Side began their scoring three minutes after the game had started and When the final Whistle blew, held the large end of a 42-0 score. Although our team was defeated, this was a game in which Coach Gunderson saw the defects of his team and it enabled him to turn out a near championship eleven. ' Belleville vs. Collinsville, October 9. Our old rival, Collinsville, succeeded in taming our boys 20-2. But they did not leave the impression that they had the better team. We are still unable to account for their victory unless it is the old jinx that We thought was broken last year in the tournament. Belleville had a better line and a better backfield, but for some unaccountable reason the Madison county lads copped the honors.

It was in this game that our best ground gainer, Louis Schweitzer made his initial appearance. The gang did their stuff and brought back a 19-0 victory. Schweitzer and Lumbattis made the tallies. Belleville vs. Edwardsville, October 22. This was the most exciting game played on the B. T. H. S. gridiron during the 1925 season. Edwardsville came to Belleville boasting of a victory over Alton and a tie for first place in the conference. But they did not return with the same boast. Edwardsville crossed our line in the second quarter, but failed to add the extra point. In the fourth quarter, Kloess broke through the line, re- covered a fumble, and ran fifty yards for a touchdown. The eyes of the breathless crowd were on Lumbattis as he went about to drop kick. Lum- my kicked the ball squarely between the posts, winning a conference game for B. T. H. S. by a 7-6 score.

On October 31, the Maroon and White warriors journeyed to Alton and trounced the conference champions 7-0. Although Coach Gunder- son's crew did not run up a large score, it outplayed Alton at every angle of the game. The ball was in Belleville's possession most of the time, Alton getting no further than the 50-yard line. Schweitzer scored the touchdown and Lumbattis added the extra point. A Belleville vs. Granite City, November 6. A large crowd followed the heroes to Granite City and watched them pound out a 20-13 victory. Granite scored first and aroused the fighting spirit of the Maroon and White. Schumacher, Braun, Schweitzer and Lumbattis, plunged sixty yards for a touchdown, Lumbattis carrying the ball over the line adding the extra point. Koch recovered the ball on a fumble and made a touchdown. Schumacher ran, plunged, and stiff-armed his way for another six points. Granite scored again on a blocked punt after the second team had been run in. Belleville vs. Wood River, November 14. Eleven determined men wearing Maroon jerseys crushed a mightly Wood River team and gained a tie for first place in the conference. Schweit- zer and Lumbattis ripped through Wood River's defense and piled up a total of 26 points against the heaviest team of the conference. An out- standing feature of the game was Belleville's stellar defense. S Belleville vs. Sparta, November 20. It was the last game of the season and it was to be played on the B. T. H. S. gridiron. Every rooter and fan who witnessed the game was given thrill after thrill. Schweitzer repeatedly tore around end. Braun always found a hole. Again and again Schumacher hit the line for big gains and Lumbattis was continually running, twisting, and ripping through the line for gains that disheartened the Spartans. Four times Schweitzer crossed the line after running through the whole team of be- wildered blue-shirts. Lumbattis carried the ball over on a trick play. Schumacher crossed the line carrying the ball and four Spartans who tried in vain to down him. Lumbattis added three points on drop kicks. The game ended with Belleville in possession of 41 points to Sparta's 0. t S:S:SI5 SIsf S. '. S- S. 39. 1.5. - -S. S. 1.1.5. S. S. s. Q. 5. - s. 1.

T. H. S. vs. Lebanon, November 25, 1925 A large crowd of enthusiastic rooters turned out to see the opening game of the season. As usual, this first game ended in defeat for Belle- ville. Three Belleville men entered the game with only one night of prac- tice, but what they lacked in practice they made up in fight. The honors of this game went to Captain Church of Lebanon, who scored eleven of his team's fifteen points. Belleville scored thirteen points. . B. T. H. S. vs. Marissa, December 4, 1925. It looked like another defeat for the local quintet at the end of the first half. But living up to their reputation they came back in the last half and played a brand of basket-ball that made the Marissa lads dizzy. Lummy sank three from center while Dolly and Gus caged them from under the basket. The game ended in a 15-9 victory for Belleville. B. T. H. S. vs. Collinsville, December 11, 1925 Belleville's first conference game of the season was with our old jinx Collinsville. But it would have taken more than a jimi to rob our basketeers of that victory. Ransom, Kelling and Daumueller piled up twelve points while the air-tight guarding of Diehl and Lummy held Col- linsville to eight. B. T. H. S. vs. Marissa, December 12, 1925 Once again Coach Friedli's gang trounced the Marissa lads and this time on their own floor. Marissavplayed a good game, but they could not keep pace with the fast B. T. H. S. squad, which brought home the bacon in the form of a 17-10 victory. B. T. H. S. vs. Mascoutah, December 18, 1925 An army of rooters went with their team to Mascoutah and cheered them to a 30-19 victory over the Purple and White. Captain Diehl did his stuff at guarding, besides continually dribbling down the floor to drop the ball in from the fifteen-foot line. Belleville scored 22 points in the first half. Coach Friedli sent in his second team and they made an excellent showing. B. T. H. S. vs. Mascoutah, December 22, 1925 Not satisfied with the drubbing received the week before, Mascoutah came back for more. It seemed as though this game would be close, but the game was not very old when Mascoutah's score began to lag, while Belleville's steadily grew. This 23-13 victory made our third conference victory and no defeat. f B. T. H. S. vs. Cathedral, January 2, 1926 Cathedral presented a scrappy, snappy little team, but Coach Friedli's basketeers easily defeated them in a one-sided affray. Diehl and Lummy lived up to their reputation. Dolly, Gus, and Ransom kept the ball flying through the air toward Belleville's basket until they had scored 21 points to Cathedral's 6. B. T. H. S. vs. Wood River, January 8, 1926 The Friedli-coached cagers won their seventh consecutive victory and fourth conference victory by defeating Wood River here by a 15-9 score. Lummy played his usual whirlwind game. Hooper, of Wood River, played Q fast game, but he couldn't get by Diehl and Dolly. Kelling, Ransom and Hank all did their share.

T. H. S. vs. 0,Fallon, January 15, 1926 This was more like a football game than a basket-ball game. Both teams were unnecessarily rough, much to the horror of O'Fallon's principal. But the fighting five from Belleville proved to be the better fighters as well as cagers and won a 22-11 decision. B. T. H. S. vs. Centralia, January 16, 1926 Rumors had it that the Belleville quintet would be worn out after the fight at O'Fallon the night before, but the truth is, they were only warmed up. They defeated the tall, fast Centralia team by one point, 19-18. This was a red-hot game from start to finish with Belleville always a few points behind, until the last quarter. Then, thanks to the superior coaching of Coach Friedli and the determination of the team. Belleville came from be- hind and defeated a team that, is respected and feared throughout the State. . B. T. H. S. vs. Alton, January 22, 1926 Before the game Coach Friedli gave a little talk on sportsmanship and urged the fans to respect the referee's decisions. Then the game was call- ed and the fighting five annexed their sixth conference victory. The re- sult of this game could be seen from the outset. Ted and Lummy were in- vincible, while Schumacher, Dolly, and Ransom went through Alton's defense in cyclone style, to pile up 22 points to Alton's 8. Lummy ran wild in this game and made three field goals and a foul shot. B. T. H. S. vs. 0'Fallon, January 27, 1926 Another easy conference victory for Coach's cagers. Kloess started in the game' and made six field goals. Dolly and Hank each scored six points and Lummy three. Belleville took it easy and in the last quarter the second and third teams were given a chance to do their stuff. The final score was 30-20. , B. T. H. S. vs. Granite City, January 30, 1926 The battling basketeers of Belleville invaded Granite City to win their twelfth consecutive victory and their eighth conference victory at the ex- pense of the Red and Black. Again Diehl and Lummy smothered their opponents' offense and again Dolly, Hank, Kelling and Ransom showed a great punch by scoring 29 points. Dolly was high point man with a total of fifteen. Granite City scored 19 points. The Maroon and White second team won from Granite City's second team. On the way to Granite City the bus driver was arrested for speeding, but due to Coach Friedli's personality, inHuence, and popularity, the team was allowed to continue and the bus driver was exonerated. B. T. H. S. vs. Edwardsville, February 5, 1926 Bang! Down went our hopes for the Conference Championship, as we lost our first conference game to Edwardsville, on the midget floor of their cigar-box gymnasium. Friedli's Hfighting five did their best, but they were handicapped by a low ceiling. Our forwards failed to score a point. The doors were closed at seven olclock and many Belleville rooters, as well as reporters and cheer leaders were forced to stand outside and watch the game through six inches of an open window. Score: Edwards- ville, 17 3 Belleville, 6. I -Bi-1-:sig -J-:sr -I-1-. -1-.-A. ' 1-I-it-:s:s:s:s:Q:s:s: Q51 Page Eight y- 14 -.L5 AAsA5A s3gsAsAsgsAsA- N it I Cyhc E sA'sf's2'sIsfslsIS1sZ B. T. H. S. vs. Centralia, February 6, 1926 The night after the disaster at Edwardsville, the B. T. H. S. cage squad journeyed to Centralia and received the worst beating ever administered to a B. T. H. S. team. Cox, star center of Centralia, scored 31 of his team's 48 points, while their close guarding held Belleville to 15. But this only evens up our account with Centralia for this season. B. T. H. S. vs. Granite City, February 12, 1926 The team, still in a slump, lost to Granite City, 19 to 29. The loss of this game means the loss of the Conference Championship. The Madison county lads had unusual luck at shooting longishots, but even then they should not have won this game. The Maroon and White squad lacked its usual punch and the defense was not as good as in other games. B. T. H. S. vs. Collinsville, February 16, 1926 Twenty-two hundred people were packed into the Collinsville gym- nasium, to see Belleville lose its fourth consecutive game. During the first half it looked as though the B. T. H. S. cagers had returned to early season form. The half ended 11-9, Collinsville leading. Then in the third quarter Belleville weakened and Collinsville pulled ahead, until at the end of the game the score stood: Collinsville 29, Belleville 18. This was another game in which our forwards failed to score a field goal. Dolly was high point man with eleven to his credit. Ted played a good offensive game as well as a good defensive game. B. T. H. S. vs. Jerseyville, February 19, 1926 Same old story. Local squad defeated. But this time the fighting five put up a hard fight. The dope said the game would be a walk away for J erseyville, but two extra periods were necessary before J erseyville won its 15-14 victory. Hank did some splendid passing in addition to making two field goals. Dolly was in old time form and scored six. Diehl and Lummy fought furiously and Lummy, as usual dropped in some of his long ones. B. T. H. S. vs. Cathedral, February 23, 1926 Rah, rah, rah. We win a game. It was a poor demonstration of basket-ball. Cathedral players preferred holding the ball to playing the game. The close score of 13-11 does not do justice to the B. T. H. S. cagers, for they outclassed and outplayed the Cathedral boys at every angle of the game. B. T. H. S. vs. Madison, February 26, 1926 Owing to the absence of Coach Friedli, the B. T. H. S. second team lost to Madison's first team, 16-12. The second team fought gamely and was a match for the Madison lads until the last quarter. Then Madison scored six points while the Maroon and White seconds went scoreless.- IZ ' Jx'Sf-Z-,Cf.'wZi.'w.' ,1sZs.w.s.s.

With the exception of Ted Diehl the whole team will be back next year and a strong cup-win- ning team may be expected. These youths played good ball this year and another year under Coach Friedli's supervision should make all of them stars. '- The first game, which was played with O'Fallon on the B. T. H. S. dia- mond, was won by O'Fallon. Southers pitched effectively in pinches While Schumacher lacked control and was finally replaced by Gotch. Passes and errors allowed O'Fallon to score eleven runs on ten hits while the Belleville nine was held to seven hits and five runs. The B. T. H. S. sluggers bunched their hits for six runs While the ef- fective twirling of Gotch held Mascoutah to four hits and one run. Herman contributed a three-bagger at a most unfortunate time for Mascoutah. Granite City proved to be as easy as Mascoutah. Henry Zaber, pitching his first game for the B. T. H. S. allowed Granite only one hit, a single in the third inning. This hit and an error, gave Granite City their only run, while the Belleville sluggers scored seven. Lumbattis got his usual two hits and captain Koderhandt got three out of five. The 14th, instead of the 13th of May, is surely Belleville's unlucky day. At least it seems that way to Coach Friedli. The team was absolutely off. Zaber was ineligible, Gotch lasted only two innings and Andrews was se- verely punished the rest of the game. Seven innings was all that was nec- essary to give East Side its 10-2 victory. ' Belleville defeated their ancient rival in an exciting contest featured by a pitchers' duel between Welle of Collinsville and Zaber. Welle weaken- ed in the last inning and forced in enough runs to give Belleville the victory. Wood River was taken into camp by Belleville in a slug-fest marred by errors by both teams. But B. T. H. S. came through with the greater punch and annexed another conference victory. The last game of the season was with Edwardsville and was undoubt- edly the poorest exhibition of the diamond sport ever given by the B. T. H. S. nine. It was another slugging affair 'marred With numerous errors by both teams. Sisk knocked a homer and did splendid work behind the bat. Zaber started the pitching, but was replaced by Gotch, who in turn was replaced by captain Koderhandt. This 14-15 victory gives B. T. H. S. a standing of five conference victories and two defeats.

Jones, Thebus, Cole and Blank ran in the mile relay, and Lindsay, Deditius, Pharis and Emmerich ran in the Conference Medley. The annual field and track meet was held at McKendree College on May 1. Coach Gunderson's underwear squad was unable to score. Coach Gunderson entered his athletes in the Washington U. meet on May 15 and Pharis made two points by winning third place in the mile run. This meet was won by Webster Groves. The last meet of the season was the Conference Meet at Wood River on May 22. Ehret won first place in the high jump, clearing the bar at 66 inches.

The programrof the ideal school, therefore, must contain recreation facilities, and in the case of our school the student clubs have been a successful means toward this end. . These clubs are varied in scope and activity with the view of meeting the varied tastes and inclinations of the large group of students. At present there are about sixteen active clubs holding regular monthly meetings and ably caring for the social activities of the school. These clubs are also of inestimable value in forming bonds of ,friendship between the students, and a bond of sympathy and understanding between the faculty and the students. 5,0 H d'ed four ' il .l3'?s-age-xx-vs-cs-x K1jhQZBELLEVlN01S V -321'.Is:s:-If:-:s,I?....J'1q:'I GENERAL LITERARY SOCIETY President ........................ .............................

Their objects are: to cultivate a love for the open country, farm life, and the country home, to train active and efficient leaders among young men and women for rural life progress, to promote contests in plant and animal growing. To furnish opportunity through organization for social activities, such as literary programs, social gatherings, out-door picnics, play festivities, etc. This year the club had its third annual poultry show of about 300 birds. Competing ribbons and cash were awarded. The Ag Club has also entered the field of dramatics by giving a play on the night of December 15. The play was a three-act farce entitled, Prof, Pepp, in which mem- bers of the club and several girls from the student body took part. Mrs. Lentz directed the play. The club was very fortunate in securing Mrs. Lentz for she has had a great deal of experience in dramatics, and also in securing girls of dramatic talent. The play was a huge success. The club held its fourth annual father and son banquet in February. Several social functions have been enjoyed by the boys during the year. In September they had a peanut banquet. In April a wiener roast was held. Two projects were completed during the year. A poultry project car- ried on in a 10x12 brooder house built by members of the club. About 900 chicks were raised and sold as breeders. And a swine project consisting of 14 hogs which were fattened and sold. Individual projects were carried on by the members of the club, there- by applying the theoretical to the practical. 4 Il::gA 5A xA s Page One Hundred lhnt ei 1-I-L-,bgszsgszszstsiszsz-:gi ij 11913 E LLEVINOIS . +4 wx 'Q -Q fffffifl'ISISISfSISISf'ISZSI ' 1 SI SI if SZSZ if if 513151 GIS. , , R I s5 A sA5A xAsAsAsAsAsAsA- N sf A who E L I slsAvsfsfsfsZsIsIS1SgjSQ SE' B.

Mr. Denney and Mr. Brill The Craftsman's Club was organized in 1917 and has been one of the active clubs of the school ever since. At present the club has an enroll- ment of 28 members. All members of this club are of the vocational shop courses. The pur- pose of this club is to give its members an insight into the Work of the in- dustrial field. The monthly programs during the past school year consist of papers and talks which were given by the different members of the club. The subject of these talks dealt with current happenings of the industrial World. ,vsJ tg QAQ s kgksA sAsAgsAsA xA sl.-:A xA N Page One Hundred Nineteen 5 THE TUMBLING CLUB Greer Yarbrough .......... .....,......

Sponsor This year's Tumbling Team consists of thirty-five members, five of Whom were members of a previous team. It is expected that the experi- ence of these former members will be a great aid to the club, as the other members are Freshmen, and are also small in stature. While the boys are small and in their Freshman year, is considered the best time to learn the tricks. Since the completion of the Auditorium, the club is assured of the Gym for a place to practice every first Wednesday of the month, the regu- lar club day. The spirit manifested by the boys is fine, and it is the ambition of every member to make this the best team that the school has ever had. 5 5 s s 'is -5 's as 'Q s's 's's's 's's 's 's 'S ' ' :sZs:QfgSfS:Sg:5IQ:Sff:s: T'n,,-ze One Hundred Twenty ELLEVINQIS .gsgsfszslslsl-Is.

Viola Dahm The Commercial Club, the second largest club in the Belleville Town- ship High School, is composed of students who are enrolled in two or more commercial subjects. The purpose of the club is two-foldg to inculcate the desire to become efficient business men and women and to encourage the feeling of good fel- lowship among the students. Topics discussed by influential business men and by members of the club give the students a broader View of the business world. Sectional and State contests held in typing, shorthand and book- keeping instill a desire for supremacy and leadership. The entrance fees for these contests are paid by the club. p The spirit of good fellowship is stimulated in their work and in the various social gatherings. The most successful social function of the year Was a party and dance held in the gymnasium on April 16. Our membership has increased over 200 per cent within the last year. Let us boost for a bigger and better club next year. The sponsors are: Miss Emunds, Miss Seibert, Miss Eubanks, Mr. Allen and Mr. Beck. -vw-vi w vv-www vvv-- 'v ' ' ' ' ' ' ' v ' 5 5.5f5.5.9.5.5.5.9:5.5.5,.5.5.'.'.5 Page One Hundred Twenty-one 1 l - JI v v v Q v + + ' v v v s's's's C s's's's s s Ly S S s s's s s's Lp--..4.4.L.a..4.4...q.

Hexter The Mathematics Club was organized in February, 1926. It is open to all students interested in the study of mathematics. The purpose of the club is not merely to teach more formulas, equa- tions and theorems than can be crowded into the class periods. It is to allow the pupil to explore and to discover for himself the many interesting and worth-while pleasures that are to be found there. Through the club the pupil comes to know that the queer looking portraits which he may have seen in his texts, represent human beings not greatly unlike himself. His admiration for these ancient mathematicians grows as he realizes how much we owe to them for their Valuable discoveries. He learns of the struggles the science of mathematics has passed through as it has come down through the ages. His enthusiasm is perhaps at its highest when he is skillfully playing a mathematical trick to the amazement of his club members, or when he suddenly sees the fallacy of certain proofs.
