Nln� Tw lv ARTHUR JONES Pre . T. C. WRIGHT CHARLES LENZ ARTHUR BUESCII FlfUan F. E. MERRILLS Secy.-TreaK F. S. FLEI8CHBEIN R. H. WIECHERT DIL W. A. DEW Modern education looks primarily to the adjustment of the individual to his environment. Hence the progress in the sciences, in technologies, and the arts. To understand the significant development of all forms of activity of mankind in the world at this time calls for a knowledge of the past, its art, its industries, its sciences, its philosophies. But as the pres¬ ent age urges us on into the unknown through our researches in almost every field of human endeavor, therefore it becomes the duty of the schools to keep the learning mind wide awake and open to receive, to associate and to organize the discoveries as made from time to time and to evaluate them in terms of life itself, in order that all our education may lead to the fullest and most complete life of which each individual is capable of at¬ tainment. —H.

Central College, Missouri University of Cali¬ fornia ENGLISH DEPARTMENT The English Department of Belleville Township High School has a two-fold pur¬ pose; first, to teach the ready command and use of the English language; second, to stimulate interest in and create a love and understanding of the literary masters of yesterday and today. The English course of study allows ten weeks of each semester to be devoted to the study of rhetoric and the writing of composition. Here, in the first two years, special attention is paid to the underlying basic rhetorical laws. In the last two years the development of the composition is stressed. During the last ten weeks of each semester the course is designed to teach and instill into the minds of the students, “The love of the beautiful,” as is reflected in the masterpieces of the literary artists. The Senior English course is somewhat broadened, at which time the more tech¬ nical branches of English are taught, namely Public Speaking and Journalism. Eighteen Herman L. Wortman B. S.

That general training cannot .be had in the highly specialized process of the routine work of the office. The practical school of experience is too wasteful as a teacher of general principles. There will, of course, be the exceptional man who will come up through the routine training and dominate his held by the force of his intellect, but in the main the new conditions of affairs demand a superior training such as only the schools can give.” —Frank A. Vanderlip. lliis High School Commercial Department is endeavoring to meet the demand of the modern business through a well organized curriculum, consisting of a two-year stenographic course, a two-year business course and it four-year commercial course. There are approximately seven hundred enrollments in the various subjects of¬ fered in this curriculum, under the supervision of six full-time instructors. Nineteen L. H. Riley, B. S.

Denny University of Indi¬ ana Indiana State Nor¬ mal Bradley Polytechnic Institute INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT The chief idea lying back of a course in Industrial Arts is the need of provision for individual differences and for guidance, educational, moral, avocational, and voca¬ tional of boys who are passing through the critical years of their early teens. For many boys, the first two years of high school will be their last school. To provide these needs, therefore, many types of activities must be offered and if they have any guid¬ ance values they must be rich in interesting, though challenging material. Industry touches the life at some point, of every individual. Therefore the school must offer work which will serve to interpret modern industry to them. This department has made rapid growth since it was organized in 1917. At that time it had only one instructor and a small equipment. Today the department has four instructors. One for each of its major departments. The equipment has been enlarged until it now adequately serves between two and three hundred students daily besides many in the night school classes. Our shops aie as well equipped as will be found in Southern Illinois. All courses offered in this department are recognized as entrance credits of any university or college. The instructions in drawing cover two and a half year work—one full year on ele¬ mentary drawing, one-half year machine design, and one year of architectuial drawing. The Wood Shops offer two full years of cabinet work including one-half year bench work, one-half year wood turning (lathe work), and one year mi 1 work. When the classes are not too large, a fifth term is offered to students having had two yeais work. The Machine Shops offer two full years with possibility of more advanced work to students desiring it. The first year’s work includes elementary bench work in metal. Elementary lathe work, work on drill press and hack saw. During the second year the students are given advanced work on the lathe, shaper, milling machine and planer. Acetylene welding is offered to advanced students. The Auto Mechanics’ course for the first year includes instruction in the purpose, materials of instruction, types of maintenance of the various units of the automobile. The second year is devoted entire¬ ly to the location and repair of the various troubles occurring in the operation of an automobile. As a whole, the Vocational Department tries to give sound, practical training along lines that will benefit the students when they go out to earn a livelihood. Twenty Martha Schmeisseur A. B.

University of Wis¬ consin University of Cali¬ fornia THE LATIN DEPARTMENT A graduate of the Belleville Township High School may offer four units of Latin among the entrance requirements of a university or college. The first year consists of a study of the principles of grammar, combined with translation into English of fables and events in Homan history. In the second year the course begins with the translation of a description of Homan life and customs, continues with the history of Homan government, and then takes up in detail the history of Julius Caesar and the wars of which this great sol¬ dier was the leader. Composition based on the Latin occupies the required time. During the third year Cicero’s works and life furnish the basis of study, or as is being done this year a course in Vergil is being alternated with the one in Cicero. In this course the translation of the Aeneid is the primary function. Here the stu¬ dent becomes acquainted with the story of this beautiful epic, its immortal heroes ami characters. MODERN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT The aim of the Modern Language Department is to impart a genera! knowledge of the French, Spanish and German languages, and of the manners and customs of the European peoples. Two years of these languages are offered. The greater part of the fir st year is spent in masteiing the principles of grammar and in learning to read and to write the language. Simple stories and poems are also read. In the second year, much time is devoted to the study of literature. As many classics as possible are read, and some modern stories, considerable time is also given to advanced composition and to the study of grammar. Requests for a third year of German and French have been made, and may be realized. Twenty-one W. H. Campbell, A. B., A. M.

Central Weslyan College McKemlree College Universitv of Illinois SCIENCE DEPARTMENT One of the best indications of the condition of an institution is the manner of its steady, almost imperceptible, yet gradual growth points toward a healthy condition. The Belleville lo n- ship H gh School has had such a development; and in keeping with tin increase in the enrollment or tne school, the science department has had a similar growth. In ten years, the science faculty from three instructors to six instructors; and the students enrolled have increased proportionately. I Airing that time an additional lalmratory has been equipped and many pieces of apparatus, both for demonstra¬ tions] purposes and for student use, have been purchased. . Kr t student may complete a full four year science course by studying biology In the Freshman year, not any or physiography in the Sophomore year, chemistry or zoology in the Junior year and phys cs in the Senior year. Much credit is due Mr. Schmidt for the arrangement of the work No laboratory stands Idle, the rooms, equipment and teachers are scheduled for use in such a way that the greatest possible retuin is obtained from the money expended on this work. And while this has been done the standard of tin ik has not been impaired. Every course meets the requirements of the North Central Association. Twenty-two Florence Miller, A. B.

State Teachers College Nebraska State Uni¬ versity HISTORY DEPARTMENT The branch of knowledge that records and explains past events in steps of human progress is called history. A true appreciation of our present human progress can Ik had through the study of history and civics. Our history department offers to all students ancient, medieval, modern European and American history as well as civics. As our American institutions are distinctly English in origin, we have added a new course. English history, that should he an excellent preparation for early American history. Thus our present history course is a con¬ secutively arranged four year course. To meet this new growth in the department we have four full time instructors. In September 1 D2!� , Miss To Winkle, a graduate of the I’niversity of Pittsburgh, was added to the history faculty which then included Miss Miller. Miss Kriege, and Mr. Nebelsick. So essential is history to every individual that two semesters of American history and one semester of civics are required from every student for graduation. Kstelle Kamm, Ph. B. Illinois State Nor¬ mal U. University of Chica¬ go HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT The Home Economics Department is divided into the Domestic Science Department and the Domestic Art Department. The Domestic Science courses include two semesters of food study and one of home-making. The food courses include planning, marketing, and preparing, and serving meals as well as their nutritive values. The Home-Making course includes house¬ keeping and the art of home-making Members of this class have complete charge of the care and improvement of the model apartment. Through the co-operation of the shop’s department, mirror windows have been installed in the bedroom of the apartment. The curtaining of these windows completed this project. The Domestic Art courses include two semesters of clothing, and one of textiles and millin¬ ery. These courses include construct ion of garments and the study of textile qualities. The Home Economics departments strive to make girls home-makers as well as housekeepers Phyllis Alexander B. 8. Eastern Illinois State Normal U. Bradley Polytechnic Institute Twenty-three MUSIC DEPARTMENT Growth and progress have been our ideals in our school of music for the past years, and each year we have accomplished both over the proceeding years. As in the years before our courses in theory include harmony, history of music, and music appreciation. In applied music we instruct in wood and string instruments and piano. . Public performances of both the vocal and instrumental departments include ap¬ pearances before the Southwestern Division of the Teachers’ Institute held in East St. Louis, as well as our usual concerts, May festival, and the band contest. Our band this year has a membership of over 70 and the orchestra has over 00 members. We are quite happy to announce that the Southwest Sectional Band Contest beginning this year will be held here in the future. Doris McCauley, � . S. University of Illinois Chicago School of Art Education E. G. Hexter, A. B. McKendree College Washington Univer¬ sity University of Illinois ART DEPARTMENT To teach students to appreciate beauty and to cieate beauty is the real aim of art education. Before we can boast of artistic America we must develop a people who appreciate beautiful things. Therefore the Art course is organized to meet the needs of the majority of students rather than the few talented ones. The Art course includes four years of arts and crafts. Such crafts as linoleum block printing, batik and copper and silver etching are offered, as well as charcoal and pastel diawings of life and still life, design, composition, modeling and casting. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT The study of mathematics aids the individual to reason logically, and to think -traight. Mathematics is a great body of truth which has played an important part in the development of civilization. From the crude attempts of the ancients to survey their lands to the comp’etion of the great engineering undertakings of today, mathe¬ matics has been an important factor in the advancement of society. And just as a knowledge of history and literature is essential to culture, as they give us a clearer idea of social conditions, so is mathematics. The department of Mathematics offers courses in Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry 3 and 4, Algebra 5, Geometry 6, and Trigonometry 7.

Insure normal growth and development. It cultivates and developes strength, vigor and endurance, promotes quick mss and skill, and strives for heaut.v of form. Physical Education also promotes obedience, exactness, order, alertness, self- control, self-denial, co-operation, good sportsmanship, morality and loyalty to leaders. The gymnasium of IP T. H. S. is completely equipped with all modern apparatus. Tin work given consists of apparatus, calisthenics, rhythmic work, games, tumbling and restling. Helen Phillips, A. K. University of Illinois L. F. Lentz, B. S. University of Illinois AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT The object of all vocational training is to fit the student for useful employment. The aim of vocational agriculture is to prepare 1k .vs for the work on the farm. The agriculture de¬ partment has a room equipped primarily for instruction in agriculture. It is sufficiently equip¬ ped to demonstrate the improved scientific methods of testing milk, incubation of eggs, brood¬ ing chickens, grafting and pruning trees, testing soils, etc. A good collectoin of reference hooks, and several good farm papers, periodicals, and bulletins relating to the course offered are available for the use of the students of agriculture. The department of the Belleville Township High School stands ready to help not only the hoys enrolled in the (‘lasses, hut all agricultural interests of the community. LI BRA R Y DEPA RTM ENT The library, which is located in a large airy room on the third floor f the main building, is also used as the central study hall. It seats one hundred sixteen students, and houses the four thousand two hundred hooks which tin school owns. At the present rate of growth. Inith In the number of pupils and of hooks, it will he necessary to rearrange the library to make tin best use of the space available. During the past year more use has been made of the books than has been done previously. Because of the help given by the pupils who are registered in Library Science course, the librarian is free for more personal work with .he students who do not understand the library and its various tools. These library students will also he able to render assistance to others as they become better acquainted with the library. The Library Science course is offered every day and gives one-half credit, the same amount as the ofliee training course does. The course is divided into two parts, one for acquiring fundamental and the other for practice work which not only helps impress the fundamental hut also relieves the librarian of much of the routine work which formerly occupied a large share of her time. The course is especially valuable to those who plan to attend college and to any¬ one who hopes to work in a small library.

Letterman’s 4 Forty Class of ’30 A fresh young tree could be the classification for our class when they started their high school career as Freshmen. A timid step here and a little knowledge there was all that was accomplished that first year, but each added year heaped glory upon our Class of ’30. Our second year, like a tree starting to grow obtaining pride and dig¬ nity which sprouted forth in its last stand, was just a stepping stone to higher things. A clearer mind and better consideration could be the factors estab¬ lished in this second year. At last the year which means much to each class, the Junior one, and what a class, no rivals of the past or present seem to establish themselves as our class of ’30 did in their Junior year. The Junior Jam, which because of its originality, was without a doubt an outstanding feature of this year. Why, at the Prom, the class of ’30 treated the graduating class so highly that the guests really thought they were kings and queens rather than graduating Seniors. In studies as well as in play, the class embarks on a new epoch in school history. The last year of the class’s survival, with sport honors, programs and a play that will stay with the class throughout its life, a Senior tree was planted and so will mark the life of such a throbbing body of students. All these four years of eventful triumphs combined with the wonder¬ ful education makes and establishes the Class of 1930, as a forerunner to the future classes that follow. Forty-one History of the Class of ’31 In the year nineteen hundred and twenty-seven, a class of adventurous youngsters were released from the grammar schools to seek fields of higher education. After a period of much travel and hardship and fear of what was ahead they came to the campus of the B. T. H. S. The field looked green and fertile from the distance giving the youngsters a feeling of security that their fears were at an end. At closer range the adventurers found the field to be occupied by hun¬ dreds of other adventurers toiling for a higher education. They were afraid at first to enter, but after much deliberation they gathered enough courage to enter. To their surprise they received very little competition. In fact only a small group offered resistance, the rest were eager to take the new¬ comers into their midst, to have them enter into the fellowship. The re¬ sisters were called the Class of ’30. The newcomers given the name of Class of ' 31, kept their courage and eventually conquered the hostile group. The Class of ’31 remained courage¬ ously struggling toward the top and now that they are in their third year feel that their labors, hardships and griefs have been rewarded. Up to this time the Class of ’31 had labored so hard gaining promi¬ nence that the social end of their life in the new field had not been consid¬ ered so, to climax their first year, they gave a Jamboree, a riot of laughs and fun. Also they gave a Prom in honor of their former antagonists— the Class of ’30.

In this Limited, called “Success,” came the hopes of the class of ’32 under the guidance of Elmer Randle. Their new flag of bright blue and silver snapped vigorously from its mast. As the Limited approached its destination it was stopped by the President with the aid of Peter Bonito, Vice President, and Doris Keiser, Secretary-Treasurer. All descended and eagerly started upon their new experience as Fresh¬ men. Having now ' successfully finished their first year of learning they entered their Sophomore year with the following officers: Herbert Kauf¬ man, president; Leslie Cole, vice president; and Aubrey Green, secretary- trasurer. During these two years many events have happened to make our school life more interesting. The greatest of these w r as undoubtedly the winning of the football championship. Many students have taken up ath¬ letics with great enthusiasm w ' hile others have devoted their time to clubs and to various other activities w ' hich are presented by our school. At this time all are planning for two more years as Juniors and Sen¬ iors, and then graduation. After this most of us will be on our way to various universities situated in every section of the United States. In these we will try to uphold Belleville’s reputation as the home of one of the best preparatory schools in the United States.

They came with the same determination but with a different ambition. This ambition was to have the name of the class of ’33 in the hall of fame. Unlike other classes they did not lose their courage but started at the very beginning to grasp the school spirit and take part in school activities. The election of class officers was held in the auditorium at the very start of the semester, llarvey Oelrich was chosen to guide the class through the many hardships, Elsie Marie Baldus was elected Vice Presi¬ dent, and Lenore Stephenson, Secretary-Treasurer. The school spirit mentioned before, was shown in the turning out of the freshmen at school games. “Hobo Day” also proved this. So, students, you see that the freshmen class of ’33 are different and will likely bring honors to the dear old B. T. H. S. PRESTON K. JOHNSON.

Raymond Knoebel First Vice-President ... Carl Lenz Second Vice-President . Elmer Hirth Secretary ..... Alberta Loerding Treasurer Otto Kej The school year of 1929-1930 marked the second year of activity for the Alumni Association. During the school year previous to this one, a real spirit of activity was aroused in the ranks of the Alumni Association when a plan was founded to give a scholarship to the most worthy and deserving graduate. Money is raised by the proceeds from the “Alumni Frolics,” an annual presentation of dancing and fun-making, which was given this year on March 21, 1930. Charles Beck, Jr., of the class of ' 21 is the director of the Frolics. The winner of last year’s scholarship was Miss Elma Trieb, now at¬ tending Southern Illinois Normal at Carbondale. The scholarship which amounts to $250.00 is placed in a trust fund at a local bank and is given to Miss Trieb in equal shares over a period of two years. The Alumni Association is composed of graduates of B. T. H. S. since its organization in 1917. One graduating from high school automatically belongs to the Association. There are no dues or obligations. A member can show loyalty by his efforts during the year. The annual meeting will be held during the last week of the school year in connection with the Parents-Faculty Night, when officers for the next year will be elected.

This was Coach Gunderson’s most success¬ ful year. Although things looked bad at the start, he pulled through, by his untiring ef¬ forts, with a championship team. Top row—Dr. Heiligenstein, Rauth, J., Guenther, Hemmer, Bullington, Riegger, Rucker, Rogers, Ehret, Cole, L., Orr, Voelkel, Spies, Coach Gunderson. Third row—Irwin, Rauth, W., Kane, Runyon, Glossop, Meyer, Coburn, Stiehl, Aufdenspring, Cole, B., Patterson. Second row—Taylor, Rezny, Holt, Merck, Lutz, Zaber, Biggs, R., Randal. First row—Oelrich, Sprague, Bauers, Kaufman, Lindow, Wangelin, Wiechert, Schmidt, Johnson. Sixty-two Eddy James Rogers—Right Tackle “Captain Eddy” held that line! A remark¬ able captain was he, with his encouragement and knowledge of rules. Cool-headed, he blocked many a kick, occasionally dropping over to the other side of the line with his mighty aid and often opening up a hole with Runyon. Because he was one of B. T. H. S.’s best tackles, he attained the All-conference Team and was acclaimed third on All-State. LESLIE COLE (Captain elect) “Les” was a good fighter. He never gave up until the final whistle had blown. No man was too big for him. Coolly and steadily he would smash interference. lie was a good runner and had plenty of nerve. “Les” is a leader and we expect him to bring the team through to another Confer¬ ence Championship. Sixty-three Ernest (ilossop—Right End “Ernie” was a good all-round man. lie played half-back and tackle, but was best at end, especi¬ ally when he substituted for Meyer. lie was cap¬ able of getting right under punts and often spilled the opponent’s interference. His passes were well planned. Bernard (’ole—Quarterback Could that boy squirm, sidestep and speed! Barney used his head in picking his holes and making those long runs. A “Safety Man” was he called, always able to do away with any man in his way. His merits of three years’ labor reward¬ ed by the All-conference Team and his receiving State Honorable mention. Carl Kane—Right Halfback The only Junior on the team who was a good enough player to represent the entire class. Kane was a good interfere!’, and hard tackier. Although his first year in Belleville, he showed his “scrap” and made big gains for the team in his consistent ability to carry the ball. Big things are expected of him next year. Sixty-four Ellis Patterson—Left Halfback “Pat” was the best punter in the Conference coming here with a high reputation, he certainly lived up to it. lie was one great kicker, and a passer too, but with his injured shoulder he could carry the ball but little. Robert Aufdenspring—Fullback “P ob” the fearless, as well as putting up a de¬ fense, had offensive power which would have been a credit to any team. His strong points were cool¬ ness and ability to place-kick and diagnose other teams. He made the all-conference second team. 3 1 z _ Harley Stiehl—Left End This boy was one of the best ends ever devel¬ oped in a conference. Harley was steady and consistent, the receiver of many a successful pass. His sure and deadly tackling was one of the fac¬ tors to save the East Side game. Another All¬ conference star. i - Sixty-five Ralph Cobum—Left Guard “Jack” changed from the team’s wat¬ er-boy to a regular football hero. Al¬ though he was not quick as a flash, he was always there stopping up holes and plugging away. Ram interference was his chief characteristic. Walter Kauth—Right Halfback Happy-go-lucky “Wally” was a handy man. Although he didn’t start all the games, he showed power. Determined, after being on the squad three years, to make the team, he did so and won his letter. V Charles Riegger—Center In every play was our Charlie. His passing was remarkably accurate, but his Southern blood was brought out in his easy-going manner, lie too rated the All-conference team. Sixty-six Winston Hullington—Quarterback “Winsy” didn’t start at the beginning of the season, but got in, in time to show his skill of playing any place in the backfield. He scored two touchdowns against the weight and size of Madi¬ son and Alton. Relfe Eh ret—Left Tackle Relfe was very fast, and got places with his nerve and bronze. Especially useful was he in blocking kicks. He was, how¬ ever, greatly handicapped by injury. Merlyn Kunyon—Right Guard Here was a small but gritty and fighting bit of determination. Runyon was always talking—babbling and rambling, but it visibly rattled the opponents. Once he played against a 170 pound player and did he show this heavy man up! Merlyn’s run¬ ning interference under punts helped him make the second All-conference team. Sixty-seven THE 1929 FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS. For the first time since the Southwestern Conference was established, Belleville won the football championship. The total points scored by the team in its nine games amounted to 171, while the opponents total was 12. Only one touchdown was made against the team in a confer¬ ence game, and that by East St. Louis in the final struggle. No other score was made by an opposing conference team. Were we to select the mythical All-Conference team, we would unhesitatingly pick each individual of the B. T. H. S. eleven. This privilege is not ours, however, and we must be content with recording the selections made by others. In the team selected by all the coaches of conference teams, the following Belleville players are named: Harley Stiehl, right end Charles Ricggcr, center Capt. Eddy Rogers, left guard Barney Cole, left half hack. In the second team: Merlyn Runyon, right guard Robert A uf den spring, full back Honorable mention: Ernest Glossup, end Carl Kane, half hack Ellis Patterson, full back. BELLEVILLE—13; KIRKWOOD—6. The season opened with the game against Kirkwood on September 28th. Speaking literally, this was the hottest game of the season. The day was altogether too sultry for football, but despite the handicap, the Maroons displayed alertness and punch, and started the march that was to continue unbroken during the season. The first touch¬ down resulted from a forward pass to Stiehl, who ran twelve yards to the goal. Aufdenspring kicked for the extra point . Shortly after the next kick-off, Aufden- spring intercepted an attempted Kirkwood pass, and ran fifty-three yards for the sec¬ ond touchdown. BELLEVILLE—43; MARISSA—0. On October, Belleville ran rough shod over Marissa, completely swamping the opponents in a shower of touchdowns. Two of the regulars, Aufdenspring and Stiehl, were out of the game on account of injuries, but their places were ably filled by Bulling- ton, Rauth and Glossop. BELLEVILLE—6; EDWARDSVILLE—0. What a contest the first conference game was! Edwardsville was about as deter¬ mined to win as Belleville was, and the result was that both teams fought it out most of the time in the middle of the field. Finally, in the second quarter, Barney Cole slipped around left end for the lone score, making a run of forty yards. BELLEVILLE—27; ALTON—0. The Maroons scored in every quarter of the game against Alton on October 20th. Our backfield worked to perfection, Cole and Kane being particularly effective in carry¬ ing the ball. Their broken field running was sensational, producing thrill after thrill to the rooters. Barney Cole led in the scoring with two touchdowns, the two others being accounted for by Kane and Captain Rogers. Patterson ' s punting was most effec¬ tive, the feature being a kick of seventy yards that fell over the Alton goal line. Sixty-eight BE LLE VIL LE—33; M A I) I S() N—0. Madison, playing its first season of football, fell before the onward march of the Maroon Devils to the tune of 33 to 0. This was not a conference game, but it gave the team an urge for touchdowns that was helpful at the finish of the season. In the language of the “Hy News”: “The whole Maroon team was rarin ' to go. Cole and Kane bit off great hunks around either end. Aufdenspring never failed to gain on a line plunge, while Patterson ' s passing and punting was brilliant. Coach Gunderson used the whole first and second teams in the game.” BELLEVILLE—8; COLLINSVILLE—0. Collinsville, heretofore unconquerable in football and sometimes in basketball, came to Belleville on November 14th, with the firm intention to stop the Maroons. But in the words of Bobby Burns: “The best laid plans of mice and men Gang aft a gla.” and the game ended Belleville 8, Collinsville 0. In the second quarter, Barney Cole received a punt on Belleville ' s fortyfive yard line, started for the Collinsville goal, shook off three tacklers in midfield, and sprinted away from his opponents to goal and victory. A safety by Collinsville added two points in the third quarter and completed the scoring. Throughout the game, the Gunderson line worked like a perfect machine, holding time after time against first downs. Coburn took out three opponents when Barney made the run for touchdown, and every line man was there in blocking and tackling. Patterson’s kicking was again a factor, and the defense work of Aufdenspring featured. Captain Rogers ' great fight¬ ing was evident throughout the whole game, and with such playing as every man on the team showed, the only result could be—victory. BELLEVILLE—26; WOODRIVKR—0. Woodriver, former home of “Pat,” star kicker and passer of the champs, put up a spirited fight in the fourth conference game, which was played at the home of the opponents, but could not score on Belleville. Cole made three touchdowns and went into the lead in the conference for scoring, with a total to this date of forty-two points. Kane made some fine runs in this game, and Patterson showed his old friends and asso¬ ciates some real running and blocking. BELLEVILLE—7; GRANITE CITY—0. Granite City, champions of 1928, put up about the hardest battle we had during the entire season. Only through the grim, determined holding power of the Maroon line, and the undaunted fighting spirit of the team was Granite kept from scoring. Thrice did Granite City reach the Belleville five-yard line, and thrice did Belleville hold. Finally, when the enemy abandoned charging and tried a drop kick, Runyon, right guard, pushed through and blocked the kick. With three minutes left in the game, Aufdenspring snatched a pass from Granite, and in the language of Graham McNamee, “There he goes, five, ten, fifteen yards. Oh, Boy, some runner and some run, twenty, twenty-ffive yards before he is brought down.” Two plunges by Bob and Barney brought us three yards, then Bob went over for t he lone touchdown. He added the extra point with a splendid kick. BELLEVILLE—9; EAST ST. LOUIS— 6. On December 7th, the coldest day of the year (temperature about zero) Belleville history was made in East St. Louis. The game started with odds against us. East St. Louis had not been beaten, it had Cassady and Kirchoff, and it had the reputation of being unbeatable. Two thousand Belleville rooters, more or less accompanied the team, but about eight thousand East Siders were on hand to root for the home boys. Sixty-nine The kick-ofT! Punting! Line plunging! KirchofTs attempt at field goal! These short and simple annals tell the story of the first quarter. Second quarter. Glossup grabbed an East St. Louis fumble on the latter’s 31-yard line. Patterson threw a forward pass to Glossup, eighteen wards, and Ernie held that ball like a Scotchman would hang on to a dollar. Kane made four yards to the enemy’s nine-yard line, but two yards were lost on the next play. Aufdenspring dropped back for a place kick. AND MADE IT. Three points for Belleville. Up to this time, East St. Louis claimed to have its second team in the line-up. If this is correct, Belleville got even for the slight by making a touchdown as soon as the East Side regulars got in. Barney Cole, fastest and best runner in the conference, took the ball on East Side’s 38-yard line, and without interference dashed through the whole opposing FIRST TEAM. Thq remainder of the quarter was a punting duel between Patterson and Brasky of East St. Louis, with Pat getting the better of the argument by a wide margin. One of his tantalizers traveled seventy-five yards. No score was made in the third quarter. In the final period, after Martin and Cassady had made two first downs, Eddy Rogers .broke through and stopped Cassady for a five-yard loss. An East St .Louis punt was partially blocked and Belleville took the ball, only to lose it on an intercept¬ ed pass. Cassady, the East St. Louis star, then showed that he was not over-rated, by making a seventy-five yard run for a touchdown. The extra point wafll not made. After a Belleville punt shortly following the kick-off, East St. Louis started a march toward the Belleville goal line. On they came with the force of a hurricane. When only seven short yards stretched between them and the championship of 1929, they faltered, not because of their lack of punch and power, but because of the determina¬ tion and courage and grit of the Belleville team. Belleville held and the game was won . When the fourth down ended, Cassady was on the ground two yards from the coveted goal line and the whole Belleville team was on the ball. Only a little while remained for play, and during it the line held as usual, the game ending with Belleville having the ball on the opponent’s 35-yard line. This annual would be crowded with too many pages if we were to sound fully the merits of the men in this game. Space forbids but a mention of each. Harley Stiehl, left end, was all over the field, and made more tackles than any other man. Ernie Glossup, right end, handled his post nobly and contributed to the victory. Cap¬ tain Eddy Rogers, right tackle, repeatedly broke through the line to stop Cassady and the other runners. Relfe Ehret, left tackle, played a wonderful game, and refused to leave his post after being knocked out in the second quarter. Ralph Coburn and Merlyn Runyon, guards, refused to yield an inch to their respective opponents, and on occasion Runyon went clear through to get his man. Charles Riegger, the center, also broke through to drop runners, and made his passes accurately and unerringly. Barney Cole, quarter, Kane and Patterson, half backs, and Aufdenspring, full back, did their parts individually and collectively and brought home the bacon with brilliant running, splendid defense work and all-round efficiency. Patterson’s punting aided materially in winning the game. No team wealing the colors of B. T. H. S. in any athletic contest ever worked harder or achieved more than the football team in the East St. Louis game. The team’s record in that game, and in the 1929 season, will stand out in the annals of our athletic history. The Bellevinois extends congratulations to Coach Gunderson for his splendid w T ork in directing and leading his squad to a clean-cut championship of the Conference. We asked Barney Cole, athletic editor of the Bellevinois, to submit an account of the season for the annual, but his usual modesty w f as evident and the data prepared by him was so devoid of the facts in respect to his own brilliant w’ork as quarter-back that we w r ere required to take over the job. The foregoing account of the season’s game is summarized from the Hy News, and we acknowledge our debt to that faithful chronicler of school news for the material of this article. Seventy This was Coach Friedli’s thirteenth year and it seemed to be unlucky for him. He worked hard, but was unable to get his men through to the very top, although they made an excellent showing.

Seventy-one REVIEW OF THE 1929-1930 BASKETBALL SEASON 30-16 Belleville defeated her old rival, Mascoutah, in the first home game of the vear. The game was marred by many fumbles due to over-anxiousness. Several of the star players of last year were still on the football squad. 25- 16 Belleville played her first game away from home on the MeKendree College floor The game was hard fought throughout, but Belleville’s great experience made itself evident as the game progressed. Mr. Thomas Allen was coach, due to the ab¬ sence of coach F. J. Friedli, who was at the University of Illinois. 21-14. Belleville defeated Dupo in a hard fought game played at Dupo. Belle¬ ville was completely off form and a last quarter rally was all that saved her from defeat. This game still marked the absence of last year’s stars who were on the football squad. 37-20 Belleville defeated her ancient rival, Lebanon, with little effort. This game marked the first appearance of the football men. Coach Friedli substituted fre¬ quently throughout the game trying to find a winning combination. 24- 14. Central High of St. Louis journeyed to Belleville with bright hopes, but they were soon dulled bv a 24-14 defeat administered by the Maroon cagers. Belle¬ ville outplayed the St. Louis quintet throughout. Coach Friedli’s brother was coach of the St. Louis team. 28-26. Belleville defeated Dupo for the second time this year. Dupo staged a brilliant last quarter rally which fell shy two points of tying the score. This marked the sixth consecutive victory for the Maroon and White cagers. 26- 13. Belleville met Woodriver in the first conference game of the season and walked off the floor victorious. A large crowd saw the Maroon cagers chalk up their initial conference triumph and seventh consecutive victory. Belleville outplayed her opponent from beginning to end. This was the last game before the Christmas holi¬ days. 15-16. The former students of the B. T. H. S. proved to be too strong for their younger opponents. The Christmas holidays showed their effect upon the boys as the game wore on. The Maroon quintet led throughout until the final few minutes when the Alumni staged a desperate rally. This was the first defeat of the year. 17-18. Belleville lost her second game of the year by one point. Carlyle led throughout the first half, but Belleville staged a great rally in the third quarter to pass up Carlyle. With but thirty seconds to play a Carlyle man was fouled while in the act of shooting. He made both of the tries which spelled defeat for Belleville. 25- 28. Belleville journeyed to Granite City for her second conference game. The winner of this game was picked to win the conference. The score see-sawed through¬ out the game with Belleville on the short end when the final whistle blew. This was the fourth consecutive defeat for the Maroons. 24-16. Edwardsville, conference leaders, journeyed to Belleville with a record of three victories and no defeats. This game was witnessed by one of the largest crowds of the year. The game was hard fought throughout, but Belleville ' s superiority was never in doubt. This game was the downfall of Edwardsville and Granite City as¬ sumed leadership of the conference which she never relinquished. 19-9. Belleville journeyed to Alton to play the cellar occupants of the conference. The Maroons were frozen out from the long trip in zero weather. They never really opened up, playing a defensive game throughout. Seventy-two 13- 7. Belleville defeated the Collinsville Kahoks 13-7, in a great defensive game. Collinsville made but a single field goal. This was the first time in five years that a Maroon team was able to defeat Collinsville. Belleville led throughout the game. This also was the lowest score Collinsville was ever held to. 12-24. The Maroon cagers journeyed to the A inaid Temple to meet the Packers. East Side led throughout the game which was marred by poor officiating and many fouls. Several of Belleville’s star players were thrown out on fouls. Belleville had many shots, but she was unable to hit the basket. 28-20. The Maroon Devils journeyed to Woodriver to open the second half of the conference. Woodriver was out for blood, but she was unable to cope with the Maroon’s offensive power. Belleville led throughout the game, but never by a large margin until the last quarter. 22-10. Granite City came to Belleville with a perfect record, but the Maroon cagers soon changed the situation. Belleville led throughout the game, but always by a slim margin. In the last quarter she staged a desperate rally to force ahead by a large margin. Belleville was now one-half game out of first place. 14- 11. The Maroon Devils feeling very peppy after their victory over Granite, journeyed to Carlyle to play a return game. The Maroons were out to revenge the one point defeat handed them earlier in the season. The game was hard fought through¬ out with Belleville having much trouble penetrating Carlyle’s zone defense. Carlyle led throughout the game until the last quarter when the Maroons staged a wonderful rally to change defeat into victory. 24-26. Belleville journeyed to Edwardsville where they were defeated by the score of 24-26. This was the biggest up-set of the conference. Belleville got a quick lead on Edwardsville, but then they seemed to lie down. They were much too confident. Ed¬ wardsville soon jumped into the lead which they never relinquished, although Belle¬ ville tied the score 20-20 in the last quarter. This was one of the bitterest defeats of the season, as this spelled our doom in the conference. The same night Collinsville defeated Granite 40-27, thus enabling Belleville to tie for the leadership of the confer¬ ence, but she failed to take advantage of the break when she lost to the Edwardsville Tigers. 24-12. Alton journeyed to Belleville to meet the downhearted Maroons. The game was fought on even terms for three quarters, but then the Maroons forged ahead to win by a comfortable margin. The game was marred by many fouls, several Alton men being forced from the game by this route. 16-13. Belleville journeyed to Collinsville to meet the Kahoks in a return game. The Kahoks were favored, but the Maroons came through with one of their several splendid exhibitions of the season to take the Collinsville crew r into camp 16-13. Belle¬ ville clinched second place with this victory. The game was hard fought throughout. The Maroon quintet jumped to the lead which they never relinquished. 19-15. The largest crowd of the year witnessed the Belleville-East Side clash. The game was hard fought throughout. Belleville, after a slow ' start, jumped into the lead, never to be headed. The East Side quintet staged a desperate rally in the last quarter, but they were unable to forge ahead of the Maroons. 28-20. Belleville traveled to the Legion Hail at Mascoutah to play their last game of the year before the district tournament. The Maroons led throughout the game although Mascoutah tied the score in the last quarter. The game w f as exceedingly rough due to the small floor. Several men on both sides were forced to leave the game on fouls. Seventy-three 1929-1930 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Nov. 19 ..

TOURNAMENT The district tournament was held in the B. T. H. S. gymnasium March 5, 6, 7, and 8. The Maroons won the tournament last year and were favor¬ ites to repeat, but due to over anxiousness and over confidence were forced to be satisfied with third place. The Maroons were eliminated in the semifinals by Lebanon, a team they had defeated twice during the season. 49-15. Belleville met O’Fallon in her first game of the tournament. The whole squad saw action and all looked like championship material. 23-19. The Maroon cagers met the Dupo Tigers Friday afternoon, March 7. Dupo led until the third quarter. At this stage of the game the Maroons staged a great rally to change defeat into victory. The Belleville quintet entered the semifinals by virtue of this victory. 21-22. Belleville met Lebanon in the semifinals. The Maroons were heavy favorites, but fate seemed against them. The Maroon and White quintet led throughout the game until the last thirty-seven seconds. The Belleville team was much too confident. 38-11. The Maroon Devils met the Freeburg quintet in the consola¬ tion game. The Maroons led throughout the game. This game closed a successful season for the Maroons despite several bitter defeats at the crucial moment. Seventy-four Basketball Team Personnel Harley Stiehl (Guard) Honorary Captain This was Harley ' s third year on the squad and his second year on the team. Harley is a senior and will not be back next year. He was an aggressive player and a good leader. Harley, like Braun, was chosen on the All-conference team as a guard. He also was chosen on the tournament team. After a slow start he worked himself up until he was by far the best back guard in the conference. Craig Hull (Center-Forward) Craig finished his fourth year on the squad and his third year on the team. Al¬ though Hull did not play up to expectations he was one of the best men in the con¬ ference. He was second in scoring for the Maroons. Craig was one of the most aggressive players on the team. Hull was chosen on the second All-conference team. As he is a senior he will be missed by next year ' s team. Wilbur Khret (Guard-Forward) “Brick completed his third year on the squad and his second year on the team. As he is a Junior he will be back next year and with Braun will form the nucleus for next year’s team. “Brick is somewhat of a versatile man as he shared his playing between forward and guard. He was one of the best shots on the team being noted for his long shots and his accurate foul shooting. Wilbur stood third in team scoring and was among the leaders in conference. He was given honorable mention in the All-conference selections. Howard Braun (Forward) How aid led the Maroon team in scoring for the year. He was one of the fastest forwards in the conference. This was his second year on the squad and as he is a Junior he will be eligible to play next year. He was chosen on the All-conference team as a forward. He was also chosen on the tournament team. Braun should make one of the best forwards in the conference next year. Merlyn Runyon (Forward) Merlyn was a newcomer, coming from Pana at the beginning of the fall term. Although a small and light man “Frenchy showed up bigger men with his aggres¬ siveness and fight. Runyon did not make the team at the beginning of the year, but he was inserted into the starting lineup when Young was forced to the sidelines with an injured back. As Runyon is a senior he will be missed by next year’s team. Leroy Schauffler (Guard) This was Leroy’s third year on the squad and his second year on the team. Lee was forced to the sidelines last year at mid-season with a broken leg. He had a hard time getting started this year, but he was coming along strong at the season’s end. As this is Leroy’s last year he will be sadly missed by next year’s team. Philip Young (Center) Philip w ' as on the squad for the third time during this last season. He was a very consistent player and an exceedingly valuable man until he sprained his back which forced him out of the game for several weeks. As Phil is a four-year man he has defended the Maroon and White for the last time. Seventy-five Baseball Team Standing—Ehret, W., Klotz, Stiehl, Kardinsky, Frank, Taff, Butts, Glossop, E., Coach Friedli.

Belleville at Madison Seventy-six Personnel of the 1930 Baseball Team Ernie Glossop—First Baseman. Ernie, a regular from last year, plays like a veteran of many years. He never becomes worried when in a pinch, for Ernie was made to be a happy-go-lucky fellow. Victor Friedman—Shortstop. Vic, also a letterman from last year, displays great ability at bat and on the playing field. It will be remem¬ bered in the ninth inning of the Granite game “Benny” hit a home run to tie the score, although at the end Granite was on the top end. George Goodall—Second Baseman. George is one of those small but mighty men. On grounders George is a “whiz” and a great lead-off man. This is his second year as a regular, with one more year to play. Wilbur Ehret—Catcher. Brick as a catcher can’t be beaten. Always full of pep! Brick and the team may be down, but they are never out, for they know what that word “fight” means. Harley Stiehl—Third Baseman. This is the year Harley played as a regular for the Maroons. When this mighty man hits the ball it rides! W hen Harley graduates in June he will be greatly missed by Coach Friedli and the Maroon fans. Alban Glossop—Right Fielder. Al, although only a Freshman, is thor¬ oughly familiar with the meadow. He is not only a great fielder, but a hitter. Much is expected of Al in the next three years. Howard Pistor—Left Fielder. This is Pistor’s second year out in that field for the Maroons. W’hen a ball goes in his direction it means an out, for Pistor is a fast runner and flies are his weakness. His graduation will be keenly felt. William Hard insky—Center Fielder. This is the final year Bill will play for the Maroons. When he hits the ball it goes for a ride. Bill wand¬ ers around in the pasture like Douthit, and he is the Maroon and White Ballhawk. Joe Butts—Pitcher. Joe is the mainstay of the Maroon pitching staff. His weakness is to make the batter take three strikes and walk away try¬ ing to smile. His usual amount of “strike-outs” in one game is always be¬ tween six and ten. Edgar Luetzelschwab—Right Fielder. This is the first year that “Luetz” has been a regular. But due to his good showing he was given a regular berth. He showed his ability when he hit a home run in the ninth inning of the Madison game that put Belleville on the far end of the count of 9-5.

At this particular time they also sent a Dramatic team to the Show which con¬ sisted of five boys from the club. This team showed their ability and in¬ terest in the Show by placing third out of fifty-nine teams. The club also sent a Dairy Judging team to Hillsboro to a judging contest sponsored by the Illinois State Dairymen’s Association. There were fifteen different teams entered and our team placed fourth and received a large ribbon. The Agriculture Club has been very successful with their projects this year. The projects have been fattening hogs, a brood sow, and several hives of bees. Eighty-nine Boys’ Tumbling Club President Robert Meyer Vice President Norman ImbOF Secretary-Treasurer . Marshall Easton Sponsor......Mr. Gunderson Tumbling is one of the best body builders and mind developers. An alert, quick-thinking mind and a strong supple body is an asset in any phase of life. It teaches one to land on his feet, keep his balance, and be more graceful in his movements. Until this year the membership of the club has been rather over¬ cro wded. All applicants for membership must try out before the regular members. If they show any inclinations to tumbling they are immediately admitted to the club. Also if the members show any laziness during the term they are “fired out.” The Tumbling Club is always ready to help out in any of the events at school. Ninety Tri-Mu Club FIRST SEMESTER President........... G us Kriezek Vice-President.Richard Agne Secretary-Treasurer . Jack Linster Sponsor.....Mr. Morris SECOND SEMESTER President .. Charles Harszy Vice-President . Phillip Weber Secretary-Treasurer... Charles Merck Sponsor._._...Mr. Morris The Tri-Mu Club, formerly the Boys’ Honorary Club is one which shows its members the advisability of taking care of themselves physically as well as mentally. In fact the new members are given just two months time in which to show themselves worthy of such a club. These two months are a sort of test, or initiation in which each new r member is watched by the old members to see that he carries out the conditions of the initiation. As the club is only two semesters old its growth has been remarkable. The first semester there were only five members and the second semester eighteen. The club elects captains and chooses teams for different athletic games according to the season. It has varied programs including readings, comedy plays, speeches and recitations. N jnety-one Boys’ Science Club President _ Don Wnngelin Vice-President . Herbert Kaufman Secretary-Treasurer ...Henry Kircher Sponsor Mr. Cross The Science Club was organized in February 1923.

It originated among the Chemistry students of 1929 with Sam I’essin, Pres., Richard Ebel, V. Pres., and Carl Bridges, Sec. Treas. The purpose of the club is two-fold. Its main purpose is to supple¬ ment the student’s basic knowledge of chemistry with interesting side- facts so as to make the subject more interesting to him. Its secondary purpose is to entertain the club members. Only Senior and Junior boys are eligible who are taking or have taken Chemistry. The club now enjoys a membership of 23 boys. The club programs are made up of experiments, talks, and a few occa¬ sional jokes or games.

Carl Neuhoff Vice-President Pilar Daab Secretary-Treasurer _ Edith Heinzelman Sponsor Miss Oivna Farmer This year the Dramatic Club has carried on as extensive activities as last year. The sponsorship of the club has changed, for Miss Farmer has taken it over this year. Miss Kriege was in charge the previous two se¬ mesters. The energies of the club during the first semester were devoted to a production put on by school talent. The stunt show—for such the per¬ formance was called—was, we are assured, successfully presented. With the surplus funds from previous activities and from this show the club was able to present a spotlight to the school. The project for the second semester was the presentation of a play by a traveling theatrical company. The club sponsored such a play last year. “A Message from Mars” was the one presented this last semester. This organization is one of the most active as regards really worth while activities and helps to keep the spirit of the school moving. Ninety-six General Literary Society President.....

S. by singing at the Arena, the Teachers’ Divisional Meeting in East St. Louis, the Baccalaureate Services at our own B. T. H. S., as well as both Semester Recitals.

T. H. S. Ag. Club was given on Thursday, October 31 and Friday, November 1, 1929, super¬ vised by Mr. Lenz, instructor of the Ag. Department. A complete display of all kinds of farm products was held in the labor¬ atory to which any visitors were welcomed. Any person might enter grain, vegetables, fruits, honey and molasses. Awards of from one to five dollars were given. A separate exhibit was arranged by the club for the grade schools and the eighth grade was urged to attend. All this was done in an effort to interest them in agriculture. Contests combined with the exhibit, were the culinary one in the Home Economics Show, as well as the Dog Show. The evening of Friday, November 1, a program was given in the audi¬ torium sponsored by the club, consisting of selections by the band, a play, a vocal solo and readings. The effort to promote interest in agriculture drew the attention of the entire school.

Extract From a Wild West Book ’Twas a Saturday night in the tough, western mining settlement of Crazy Loon Gulch. A bunch of the boys were whooping it up in the Broken Dollar Saloon. Wine, women, and song were the passwords of the evening. All of a sudden the huge, massive sliding doors were swung wide. In stepped a stranger fresh from the gulch. “Drinks for the house,” he ordered in a thundering voice. “I’ll have a raspberry soda,” piped a shrill voice. BOOM! The remains were gathered up in pink Easter egg baskets fresh from the dime store. Suddenly the stranger bellowed, “Why doesn’t da tenderfoot in the corner swaller a shot?” All eyes were turned in the direction of the accusation. Ah, the hero at last, for it was none other than Young Wild West, the only man in that motley crew with his bristles shaved off. In a calm, cool voice he steadily replied, “I am an ardent Pro¬ hibitionist and do not allow liquor to pass my lips.” Crash! Out went the lights. Two six-shooters spat red death into the darkness. “A light, a light,” my kingdom for a light,” cried the old bartender. When the glim was finally turned on there was found on the floor a body stiff and cold. It was none other than our hero, Young Wild West. There was a Belle- villean in the crowd that night!

To draw—to raise. No more—and by a raise to say we spend The twenty-five red chips which you so lately won At that last big game—’tis a proposition Deftly to be pickled—to draw—to raise— To raise, perchance to lose—aye, there’s the rub! For in that chance of draw what cards may come After we have shuffled up that treacherous deck Must give us pause. There’s the respect That makes calamity of a full-house For who bear the raiser’s stare The urge to bet, the anxious wait that comes The pangs of misjudged hands, the dealer’s delay The insolence of pat hands and the stand That patient merit of the bluffer takes When he himself would be better off By simply passing. Who would twos retain But that the dread of something after call The unforseen royal flush, to whose bids All must yield; puzzles the will And makes us rather keep those chips we have Than be curious of hands we know not of. Thus bluffing does make cowards of us all And so the native hue of a spade flush Is barely beaten by a four-ace hand. One Hundred Thirty-one Ellen: 1 thought that sailor who just passed looked well, didn’t you? Elsa E.: Yes, and he’s still looking. Harley: Do you object to petting? Harriemay: That’s one thing 1 never did. Harley: What, petted? Harriemay: No, objected. Pistor: How much gas do we have? Klotz: It points to half, but I never know whether it means one-half empty or one-half full. She: And now I suppose you’ll tell everybody I let you kiss me. Barney: Don’t be alarmed. It’s nothing to brag about. Question: What are skis ? Answer: Norwegian rubbers. Accused: 1 don’t understand the question. Judge: He means, tell the court just what happened. Accused: Indeed I won’t—what do you think I pleaded not guilty for? The body was by Fischer, but there was no excuse for the face. Judge: Get the prisoner’s name, so we can tell his mother. Rookie: He says that his mother already knows his name. Miss Miller: The safe crackers union decided the use of safes is illegal. Nebby: How so? Miss M.: The combinations are in restraint of trade. Father: Do you know my daughter, May? Suitor: Thanks for the tip. Gent (to flapper who has just slipped on ice) Madame may I help you maintain your equilibrium ? Flap: Sir! How dare you. One Hundred Thirty-two Thc Boss One Hundred Thirty-three Class Prophecy “One hundred years old this year! Ah, me!” sighed old Mr. Campbell, signs of old age commencing to creep on his face. “How can I commemorate the occasion? Let’s see—perhaps the (luckiest thing would be to look up that old class at High School —the one that gave me an annual tree for letting them dedicate it to me. Believe it was in 1930! but how to look them up? Would that I had a formula! Anyway 1 can get the names from the B. T. H. S. office. I hope so, although 1 realize that place has gone to the dogs since H. G. and J. H. died ot overwork, and Bernard Cole and Harlan Bopp are taking their places. Why, check and double check, there ' s two mem¬ bers of the class right there!’ “A trip would be quite the thing! But I’d better make all the neighboring small towns first, ’ was the weighty decision, when Eddy Rogers popped up from nowhere, begging the professor to buy some “Dr. Carter ' s Liver Pills for people in poor health. “Why Eddy, you’re just the person 1 want. Now we’ll take a trip around the country, you selling pills and me keeping accounts. I want to see what the members of your class are doing now. Eh, wot?” “It’s a go!” countered Eddy James, “but let’s make this promise to each other through the notary public, Bob Aufdenspring.” “All right. By the way, I hear he’s turned gray since Catherine went insane last year.” “Yep, that’s right. They say reading College Humor since Elsa Eckhardt is joke editor sent her that way,” explained Eddy. So a tour was planned. First the city of bright light—Pinckneyville—where the cub reporter of the “Pinckneyville Herald,” Winston Bullington, interviewed them. Purchasing a copy of his paper the travelers read that Lillian Davidson, learned stud¬ ent of Chaucer and Beowulf, had recently been conferred a master’s degree by Robert Meyer, dean of Oxford. Another item was that “Six-gun Harriet” was acquitted in the trial of murder of the nun, Katherine Gould. Across the street they saw Evelyn Buser, Lois Stiegemeyer and Helen Nosbisch, entertaining the “Roaring Forties” poker club. At this moment a grave interruption took place. “Have you paid for your com¬ mencement invitation, pray tell, Eddy?” ’Twas Lillian Brown still trying to collect for those wretched things that were used by so few of the class. But there was Vic Friedman approaching on horseback already shouting the merits of “Easy Washer!” So Mr. Campbell grabbed Eddy by the ear and they left the town. The weary travelers suddenly came upon a stranded Side Show, the owner of which, to their surprise was William Simon, who was proudly wearing a salt and pepper suit for which he still owed ten payments to Sam Pessin, the tailor. He was willing to sell his side show of marvelous freaks for a very little consideration. “Let’s see your prize winners?” asked the cautious Mr. Campbell before invest¬ ing his money in any “guilt-edged” enterprise. “Sure,” said Simon. “First, the Human Skeleton, Dorothy Stefanoff; next, Harrie- may Wangelin, the fat body; next, Harley Stiehl, the human bloodhound still tracking her; next, Madame Amy Rucker, who will answer your questions of love. Here ' s the ' Suitcase Simpson’ of St. Clair County, Philip Young; and the very excellent barker Merlyn Runyon, then-” Terribly disgusted Mr. Campbell traveled to the nearest filling station to refuel his trusty model A and to his great consternation he found Alexander Mueller and Earl Lorenz conducting a gas station for the benefit and sustenance of down and out filling station bandits. Paducah next! The first object they saw was Carl Neuhoff, pensively sitting on the curbstone trying to make heads or tails out of that Paducah joke. They dared not interrupt him, but made a mental note to petition Rogers Hyde, president of the United States, to establish a home for people who could not see jokes. At “Miss Hartnagel’s School for Girls,” the weary travelers found Dorothy An¬ dres, instructor of Southern drawls and rogues, using Charlie Riegger’s textbook of them. Then an elegant book store was approached in order to get a map to get out of the “joint.” A revised edition of “Lamb’s Fairy Tales” by Marjorie and Bill Frank attracted their attention for a moment. Paging over some of the literature they One Hundred Thirty-four saw Arthur Nesbit’s picture. He was now the high-priced endorser of cigarettes in a blindfold test, while another advertisement was that of Edith Heinzelman, herself a walking picture for “Body by Fleischman.” Strange to say, the old prof, and Eddy picked up “Time” magazine by chance and read this article: “Clarence! Albert, the renowned, distinguished and famed President of Yale, is holding a reunion this week of all his old friends. Some of those who will attend are - Ellen Bleiker, Supervisor of the Carnegie Art Institute; Esther Cobb, owner of the world’s largest Orphan Home; the Pope, Arthur Eidman; Walter Rauth, chief prohi¬ bition agent; Senator William Kardinsky, chairman of the Finance Committee in the Senate and many others. Lillian Jossem will supervise the music of the gathering with her ‘Modernistic Jazz Orchestra’ (loving jazz as she does!), while Leona Jacobs, the Viennese playwright, will present her Stock Company.” “What a coincidence!” exclaimed W. G., “but this magazine is six months old, so ‘twill do us no good. But let’s hasten out of this burg.” The boys got a taxi to drive them to the station. On phoning for it no one but Ellar Daab answered, who was now eighth vice-president of the “Open Air Taxicab Company.” A handsome dirigible piloted by Shirley Schofield of the T. A. T. lines swooped down and bore the passengers to St. I-ouis. At Union Station the wayfarers were accosted by salesmen and women—all sizes and sorts; Relfe Ehret, the tie salesman, Leta Briesacher and Laura Bosch, sewing machine agents and Harvey Depper, Sin¬ clair’s only rival in oil stocks. And how difficult it was to evade them all! “How about visiting my old fraternity out at Washington U. ?” suggested Eddy. Of course the plan was agreeable, but their astonishment was profound on finding Shirley Fox, mother of the house. And the boys all seemed crazy about her! One was taking her to the baseball game of the Cardinals that afternoon, where she explained, Harold Absher would sell her peanuts and she would see Ralph Coburn, the water- boy. Another tidbit of news was that the St. Louis famed society matron, Dorothy Eggman Smythe, had been seen in company with a ditch digger, Craig Hull. “Perhaps the slickest way to find out about these people would be to consult some city records, Eddy,” volunteered Mr. Campbell one day as their business of finding classmates lagged along. And this is the record of the knowledge there gained: Article 1. Miss Marie Gummersheimer, Mr. Walter Glogesvek, and Mr. Edgar Luetzelschwab have come to the conclusion that short names are easier and have all three legally changed their last names to Jones. Registered Occupations Ernest Glossop—Tester of finished products in International Pillow Factory. Marshal, Easton, Clifford Cochran—South Pole Explorers. Adwir Kraemer—Hod-carrier. Salome Baer—District president of Ladies’ Aid Auxiliary. “Horseface” Klotz and Florence Kohl—Bold co-dancers at “Canton Tea Gardens.” Rosella Wittlich—Radio announcer. That was all there, but it was a day’s work to digest that news. A few days later, Mr. Campbell felt weak, so the two made a visit to some sani¬ tarium or other. And, believe it or not, there was Jo Butts and Doris Moore doing their best to gain a pound or two. Jean Snyder and Elsie Strothman had been there the day before, they explained, lecturing on “Woman’s Rights at Allen’s Cigar Store.” Earl Bridges, head clerk at Kaiser’s confectionery, wrote the invalids weekly. On their return from the sanitarium, the visitors passed Forest Park. Imagine their surprise to find Eleanor Neuhoff feeding tha seals! Howard Pistor and Ellis Patterson were hired to scrub the bear pits. For some reason or other Andrew Schwartz w T as in the monkey cage. “Well, is that all the class, Mr. Campbell?” queried Eddy, feeling the work of his lifeltime was being well done. “Nope, Eddy, but I can find them during my next hundred years.” “My only regret is that Mr. Schmidt should have retired before he fully realized what a grand, illustrious, and outstanding class was that one of 1930!” —MILDRED JOHNSON. One Hundred Thirty-five Prof.: When did the revival of learning come? Harvey O.: The week before Finals. Friedli: What does the amoeba walk with? Earl B.: Its shape. Algy saw a bear The bear saw Algy The bear was bulgy Bulgy was Algy. 1 bet my girl that she wouldn’t marry me, but she called my bet and raised me five. W. C. T. U.

They call it co-education because there’s just no party without co-op¬ eration. Karch: I couldn’t sleep a bit last night. Hexter: Why not? Karch: 1 dreamed 1 was pitching pennies and 1 tossed all the time. She was only an artist’s model, but she made a bare living. “That stumps me,” said the sailor, when the shark nipped his leg. God made the world and rested; God made man and rested; God made woman, but since then, neither God nor man has rested.

Why, I married one! “Ls dis a Feet” hriedli: You know in my travels through the w ' est I found a place where ladies wear only beads. Yarly: (very interested) And w ' here is that place? Friedli: Around the neck. On the Bus Braun: I saw you with a strong box yesterday. Ehret: Oh, yes, I had something in it. Braun: What do you carry in a strong box ? Ehret: Limburger. There was a flee and a fly in a flue They were together so what could they do? The flee said, “Let’s fly” The fly said, “Let’s flee” So they flew through a flaw in the flue. Yarly: What is your name? Stude: Hans. Yarly: I mean your full name. Hans: The same as when I’m sober. Craig H.: Is that wood I smell burning? Vic F.: No! That’s Mr. Karch smoking that cork-tipped cigarette Nebby gave him.
