The great schools of all nations Have their colors and their signs And heart thrills are awakened As their banners fall in line. So the Belleville Township High School Has its colors true and bright, 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 way, There to 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. 1932 Page If It e e N ufvc 11 111,501 lf-:fm , FIDITIIIWISTRATICD I':lg'1- Fil-lQ'l'll llffllfm The Board of Education THE BELLEVINOIS Credit is due these public-spirited men of Belleville, serving Without compensation, who, by their wise selection of our faculty and their con- servative management of finances, have 1932 done much to make this an insti- tution of which we are justly proud.

Without an education of the body to natural development and healthy without the education of the mind to think calmly into and through the new situations that are sure to arise perhaps even tomorrow, without the full development of personality into a sound charac- ter dedicated to a useful life, we in this era and perhaps in America are facing chaos. The edu- cation of the head, hand, and heart with a firmer sense of justice to one and all is the open sesame to a better future, a future more stable economi- cally, and more equitable socially. H.

Mathematics is presently destined to play a much larger part in our general scheme of education than it ever has in the past. One is forced to this conclusion not by the insistent demands of students, but by the consideration that the tools and the methods offered by this science have been so largely responsible for the extraordinary advances in other sciences which the past generation has witnessed. The more mathe- matics contributes to the development of other sciences the more dependent upon it they become. The world in which we live is incurable mathematical. Every human being is born into a physical universe in which quantity, shape and size play an important part. The geometric principles of equality, symmetry, congruence and similarity are im- planted in the very nature of things. It is apparent, for example, that we cannot make or manufacture the simplest article without giving constant attention to its form, its dimensions and the proper relation of its parts. The art of measurement permeates the fabric of modern civilization at every point. It underlies all applied work in engineering, technology and manufacturing. Without measurement and com- putation the world of science would cease. Algebra furnishes economical methods and formulas for many of these computations. Trigonometry, being essentially the art of indirect measurement, forms the necessary background for the making of maps and survey plans of all sorts. It underlies the art of navigation. Our entire civilization, our sciences, our modes of thinking, have a mathematical core. 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 are 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 architectural drawing. The Wood Shops offer two full years of cabinet work including one-half year bench work, one-half year wood turning Qlathe workj, and one year mill work. When the classes are not too large, a fifth term is offered to students having had two years 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. THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT The work confronting the History Department of the High School is to provide the student with a knowledge of present day problems, and an understanding of the politi- cal and cultural background of modern civilization. To accomplish this there are well organized courses which include a .study of the ancient civilization of Greece and Rome, the vicissitudes of establishing centralized governments in Europe, the opening of America to European civilization, and the political organization of the United States. Problems facing these nations at the present time are introduced into class discussions by the use of periodicals such as the Literary Digest, Review of Reviews and Current History. 1932 - Page Twenty-four THE BELLEVINOIS THE MODERN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT The Modern Language Department offers two years of French, Spanish, and Ger- man. In the first year, the fundamentals of the grammar of the language are em- phasized, while in the second year, more time is given to reading. The primary aim of the course is to impart a reading knowledge, while the ability to speak and write the language is taught as a secondary aim. In the French and Spanish classes, the new Language, Literature, and Life series of texts is being used, which contains grammar, reading, and essays in English con- cerning the foreign country and its people. Personal correspondence is carried on in the advanced classes, with foreign students. In these ways, a third aim is fostered, that of imparting a knowledge of the foreign country, past and present, and inspiring an interest in the life and characteristics of its people. THE M USIC 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 preceding years. As in the years before, our counses 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 divisions of the Teachers' Institute held in East St. Louis, as well as our usual concerts, the May festival, which was held here last year, and the band contest. DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION Physical Education is the regulated and supervised practice of muscular exercises under conditions that tend to promote health, insure normal growth and development. It cultivates and developes strength, vigor and endurance, promotes quickness and skill, and strives for beauty 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 B. T. H. S. is completely equipped with all modern apparatus. The work given consists of apparatus, calisthenics, rhythmic work, games, tumbling AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT The object of all vocational training ixs to fit the student for useful employment. The aim of vocational agriculture is to prepare boys for the work on the farm. The agriculture department has a room equipped primarily for instruction in agriculture. It is sufficiently equipped to demonstrate the improved scientific methods of testing milk, incubation of eggs, brooding chickens, grafting and pruning trees, testing soils, etc. A good collection of reference books, 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 boys enrolled in the classes, but all agricultural interests of the THE SCIENCE DEPARTMENT One of the best indications of the condition of an institution is the manner of its growth. A slow, steady, almost imperceptible, yet gradual growth points toward a healthy condition. The Belleville Township High School has had such developmentg and in keeping with the increase in the enrollment of the school, the science department has had a similar growth. In ten years, the science faculty has increased from three instructors to seven instructors, and the students enrolled have increased proportion- ately. During that time an additional laboratory has been equipped and many pieces of apparatus, both for demonstrational purposes and for student use, have been purchased. A student may complete a full four-year science course by studying biology in the Freshmen year, botany or physiography in the Sophomore year, chemistry or zool- ogy in the Junior year and physics 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 return is obtained from the money expended on this work. And while this has been done the standard of the work has not been impaired. Every course meets the requirements of the North Central Association. THE HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT The Home Economics Department includes courses in Foods, Clothing, Textiles and Home Making. In the Foods courses the student learns to plan meals, market, prepare, serve, eat and calculate costs and food values for them. Home Making teaches the art of housekeeping and home-living. A model four- room apartment is their workshop. Each year the class earns enough money to buy ' 1932 and Wrestling. community. Page Twenty-five THEBELLEV something for this apartment. This year they are purchasing a set of silver to be used for meal service. The courses in clothing are planned to teach girls the selection of costumes appro- priate for various occasions and designs suitable and becoming to different types of individualsg to teach them to make clothing budgets in order to buy more wisely and also teach them to become independent in the planning and construction of garments for themselves and other members of the family. THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT The English Department keeps stride with the times. Two new series of books have been introduced in composition and literature. Diverse theme subjects are up-to- the-minuteg principles of composition are enlivened with new material, the discussion of' social and economic problems is encouraged in public speaking. The reading courses are no longer confined to the classics, but include the selec- tions of contemporary American and English literature. Every effort is being made to make the English work not only a vital element during the school life of the student, but a satisfaction and instrument in later life. THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT The economic and social conditions of the present day necessitates more than ever before, an understanding of good sound business principles and a better comprehension of the economiciorganization of society. The commercial department has a well rounded and an unusually complete course to offer its students. The schedule not only includes the usual courses in typing, stenography and bookkeeping, but offers commercial law, banking, economics, ad- vertising, and salesmanship as well. Very modern office equipment is used in connection with the courses given. The department has recently purchased a new mimeograph, a bookkeeping machine, and a contometer. Every eHort is put forth to equip the student with practical business knowledge. THE ART DEPARTMENT Art education aims to develop in the average student a greater ability to express himself graphically, to present to the talented student an avenue for artistic develop- ment and an opportunity to become familiar with the various media that he will meet vocationally, and by helping both to create beauty, to give to them a finer sense of appreciation for beauty wherever it may exist. To teach students to appreciate beauty and to create 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 at the same time. The Art course covers four years of Arts and Crafts. During that time the stu- dent is given an opportunity to become familiar with such media as water color, tem- pera and oil paint, pencil, pen and ink, and charcoal. Problems in, pure design as well as commercial design are presented. Jewelry and metal design casting, linoleum block printing, modeling, batik, and other types of applied design are practiced. 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 tranlation into English of fables and events in Roman history. In, the second year the course begins with the translation of a description of Roman life and customs, continues with the history of Roman government, and then takes up in detail the history, of Julius Ceasar and the wars of which this great soldier was the leader. Composition based on the Latin occupies the req-uired time. During the third year Cicero's works and life furnish the basis of study. In the fourth year the translation of the Aeneid is the primary function. Here the student becomes acquainted with the story of this beautiful epic, its immortal heroes and THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT The library, which is located in a large, airy room on the third floor of the main building, is also used as the central study hall. It seats one hundred sixteen students, and houses the five thousand books which the school owns. Because of the help given by the pupils who are registered in Library Science Course, the librarian is free for more personal work with the students, who do not -understand the library and its various tools. These library students will also be 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 course is divided into two parts, one for acquiring fundamental and the other for practice work, which not only helps impress the fundamental, but 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 anyone who hopes to work in a small library. 1932 characters.

Four years we of the graduating class have spent within the walls of this institution. Now we are ready to make our final bow garbed in cap and gown. Those years were short ones. Too short, but they have made an im- pression on our minds and have left lasting memories. These have been years at which we may look with pride and perhaps a little sorrow, re- gretting that we couldn't have been lordly Seniors for our entire High School life. Besides having a lot of fun and happiness we learned something- quite a lot of Something We had our rough corners knocked off, we were taught manners, we were enlightened as to the many things which go to make up the backbone of the graduating class. So in our grand finals and last appearance in the commencement exer- cises we shall say to the rest of the students and faculty So long.

T. H. S.-very green, but willing to learn. Thirty- three immediately showed its art-soul by electing as Freshman President, Harvey Oelrichg with Elsie Marie Baldus and Lenore Stephenson to help him with his onerous duties. By and by the babies grew up to be jolly Sophomores. And no class in B. T. H. S. had ever displayed more pep than they. Like all good classes should, for the glory of T. H., they went out for all the athletics there were. They found some new officers in Don Wangelin, Jane Lee Jones and Zane Jaben As Juniors, the class of '33 was thoroughly launched upon its now fam- ous career. Each class is certain to be noted for one thing above all others, it is our lot to be noted for the rings-oh, the rings! The time and care and pains spent in choosing our class rings puts '33 forever in Township's Hall of Fame. , But why take time to tell of the Jamboree-with unique stunts that only Thirty-Three could have put over. And then there was the Prom., that everyone loved. Our Junior officers were: President, Phillip Weber, Vice President, Henry Smallwoodg Secretary-Treasurer, Jean Boyd. The Senior year looms, what would Township High have done with- out '33? ' -JEAN BOYD. 1 9 3 2 .

We've attained the Sophomore classification and, in rem- iniscing, the first year of our Hi career has been a happy, eventful one, as it is to all Freshmen. ' Franklin Bowers piloted us, as a class organization, through our in- fancy, with Joseph Ottenschneider and Blaine Schmidt as co-pilots. We take just pride in having contributed, as Freshmen, to the collec- tion of laurels in sportdom already attained by the B. T. H. S. One of our members secured the medal for scholastic attainment awarded in June, 1931. We've elected James Beers, Presidentg Doris Schwarz, Vice President, and Bernice Bien, Secretary-Treasurer, to manage our affairs this year. Miss Pearl Johnson has been appointed Class Sponsor. As a class we aspire to great things, ever mindful of the traditions handed down to us by our predecessors, whose records We will endeavor to emulate and strive to surpass!

This was a new experience for all of us. It found us asking the upper- classmen about our new tasks and responsibilities. Our first meeting in the auditorium was sponsored by Miss Fischer. The Class chose for its officers: Justine Johnson, Presidentg Arthur Sex- ton, 'Vice Presidentg and Arthur Londe, Secretary Treasurer. The officers did their best to guide their class in the right way. Q The class flower chosen was the pink tea rose. The cololi pink and silver were selected and for its motto, the class adopted A nian's reach should exceed his grasp.

Y Coach Gunderson 1931 was another successful season for the most capable and youthful coach in the conference. Weather unsuited to his team's ability in the last few games was the only factor that kept Gun- dy from perfecting another championship combination. 1932 , Page S'ixty THE BELLEVINOIS H Football Squad Personnel LESLIE COLE-Guard This was the fourth year of football for the Maroon captain. His per- formance this season led to his unanimous choice as guard on the all-con- ference team. A hard tackler, a sure blocker, and a fighting, leading spirit combined to make him the foremost linesman in the conference. He will be greatly missed next season. EDWARD SAINT EVE-Quarterback Another unanimous all-conference selection, Eddy gained his honors by being the most dependable ball carrier in the Maroon backfield although handicapped by his light weight. But Eddy will not be back next season to flash around the ends and hurl forward passes for Coach Gundy. BERNARD WALKER-End Bumps came to High School from Cathedral high just two seasons ago, and this year marked his first appearance as a regular. His outstanding work was turned in during the East Side game. He was the only Maroon on the second all-star team. RAYMOND SCHMISSEUR-Guard Ray, the fighting farmer, made his second and last season of football his best. Paired with Cole, the two made the greatest guard combination of the conference, and the plays that went through either guard post were few and far between. ELMER RANDLE-Tackle Chub turned in a good enough all-around performance during the seas- on to rate him honorable mention on the coaches all-star eleven. What he lacked in size he made up in speed, there being few punts that outdistanced Chub. He will not be back next season. HAROLD ERVIN-Center Another honorable mention player. Ervin outplayed every center he went up against, but was not selected on any star team. A good passer and blocker, he showed his grit by .sticking through the East Side game although badly injured. NORMAN STONEWATER-End Norm earned his second football letter this past season, and will not be back next fall. A dependable end, he specialized in breaking up oppon- ent's off-tackle and end runs. AUBREY GREEN-End Salty seemed to be the only end who could catch passes in crucial mom- ents this season, and he put several games on ice by performing this one particular stunt. Another senior who will be lost to next year's squad. HERBERT BECKER-Fullback Belleville's outstanding line plunger. Herb will always be remembered for his performance in the Woodriver game when he outdid his usual quiet performance and carried the ball almost seventy yards single handed to win the game. Herb has another year ahead of him. HOWARD BIGGS-Halfback A flashy player. Biggs earned the title of Blonde Blizzard before many games had gone by. He could always be counted on for a few extra yards. He will be back next year. 1932 Page Sixty-one THE BELLEV QUINCY BUXTON-Halfback The smallest man on the team, Buck outdid himself by becoming the hardest tackler on the squad. He would drive in from his halfback post to smear enemy runs behind the scrimmage line. Buck will be back next year. LEROY HOLT-Halfback Lee was handicapped the greater part of the season with a badly wrenched .shoulder, but that only made him make the most of his oppor- tunities in the game. Holt deserves a lot of credit for playing games in which he had to throw blocks instead of tackling opposing runners. He returns next season. FREDERICK LUTZ--Fullback Peppy had the most driving power of any backfield man on the squad, and this was emphasized by his outstanding performance in the Carlyle game. He was always good for yardage when it was needed. Lutz will be with us next fall. JOHN RAUTH--Halfback John's fourth year on the squad was rewarded by his earning of a letter. Rauth had all the fight and pep in him that was needed for an entire eleven men, and he kept many a regular working for his post. GILBERT HAMBLETON--Halfback Another fourth year man earning his first gridiron letter. He played with spirit and enthusiasm and always turned in a good blocking game with not a few flashy runs. ' THEODORE SMITH-Tackle This was Ted's second year on the squad and his first letter season. He will be back to strengthen the left side of the line next season. HERBERT KAUFMAN-Center The tallest man on the squad, he was greatly handicapped by spending the greater part of the games with his arm in a cast. A regular center until the injury, he came back just as strong after his arm had heeled. A valuable man to the squad, Herb will be missed next year. ZANE ZABER-Tackle: A dependable reserve, Zane made his presence felt by stopping thrusts at his side of the line. Another year for this man. DON WANGELIN-Guard Don was a quiet, easy-going chap, who plugged up many a hole at guard with his light weight. His first year as a letterman he will be serving next fall under Maroon colors. 1931 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE INOIS Sept. 19 ........... .............. B elleville -Sparta 6 ....................

In spite of the hot weather, both elevens showed a great deal of aggressiveness and fighting spirit. The Maroons' first score came within two minutes of the opening kickoff. Cap- tain Leslie Cole blocked a punt and several Maroon-jerseyed linesmen fell on the ball for the score. A, passing attack in the second quarter gave Sparta their only touchdown. In the last quarter, with the score tied, Eddy Saint Eve ran back a Sparta punt from midfield, behind perfect interference, to score the eventual winning touchdown. After the kickoff, Sparta started a drive that carried them to the very goal line, where the Maroons held and took over the ball for the few remaining seconds. KIRKWOOD 12-BELLEVILLE 0. The Maroon and White team lost their first game on September 26th, when they dropped a practice encounter to the well-trained Kirkwood High eleven on the Mis- sourian's field. The victors combined a passing game with a splendid blocking offensive that resulted in long gains and had the Maroons almost constantly in their own ter- ritory. After a scoreless half, in which the Maroons outplayed their host, the Scarlet eleven made up for lost time immediately after the second half kickoff. They blocked Saint Eve's punt on the ten-yard stripe, recovered the ball, and in two plays, had smashed through for a score. Their last touchdown came in the fourth quarter. Line plunges and end runs were alternated to annex this second score. Belleville's guards, Les Cole and Ray Schmisseur, stood out in the forward wall. Johnny Rauth and Herb Becker were the most consistent ground gainers in the back- field, while Eddy Saint Eve got off some neat en-d runs. BELLEVILLE 25-CARLYLE 0. The Gundersonites had no difficulty in pounding out a quartet of touchdowns to win over the Carlyle Indians on the local field on October 2nd, in the last practice game before the Conference opener with Granite City. At no time during the tussle did the Maroons have their full strength in the lineup. The Devils piled up three touchdowns in the first half and one in the second half. Salty Green scored on a long pass in the opening minutes of play, and Cole fell on a fumble in the end zone for another first quarter score. Lutz plunged over in the second quarter to make the score 18 to 0. Saint Eve circled the wings to score in the last quarter, and then passed to Green for the only extra point. BELLEVILLE 13-GRANITE CITY 12. Belleville opened their Southwestern Conference season on October 10th, at Gran- ite City by throwing a wrench into the championship machinery of the defending champions. A stirring last quarter rally enabled the Maroons to take victory out of seemingly certain defeat. Maroon fans who saw the game had all but given up hope in the last quarter, with the Maroons losing by a 12 to 7 score and with less than five minutes to play. Lutz had plunged over in the second quarter for the first score of the games and Becker had annexed the extra point. Then Granite had recovered, and scoring in the second and third quarters, had things much their own way, keeping the ball in Maroon territory, and when checked by the Devils, would punt, assume the defensive, and stop the Belleville attack. With but a short- time to play, Belleville rallied. From deep in Granite territory, two long passes and a few running plays put them within the opposing fifteen yard marker with first down to go. Plunges gave them another first down on the two-yard stripe, from where it took Herb Becker three plunges to put it across. Captain Cole, Schmisseur, and Walker were outstanding in the line, while Becker and Lutz played good offensive games in the backfield. Lee Holt threw the passes that paved the way for the winning score. 1932 Page Sixty-three BELLEVILLE 14--MADISON 0. The Maroons annexed their second league .victory on October 17th, when they defeated the Hubtowners on the losers' field. Belleville played anything but the type of football they had displayed against the Steelworkers on the preceding Saturday. The Devils were seemingly unable to keep from fumbling. The game was necessarily ragged and despite several thrilling situations, made a dull and discouraging contest to view. Belleville showed a weak defense against the overhead game of Madison, who with a last half serial attack threatened for a while to turn the game in the Hub- t-owners' favor, 'until bad judgment on the part of Madison caused the loss of scoring opportunities. Becker plunged in the second quarter for a touchdown, and Randle scooped up a fumble for the extra point. Walker caught a long pass in the last quarter to step across the line, and Bumps also snagged a pass from Saint Eve for the extra point. BELLEVILLE 12-COLLINSVILLE 0. The Gundersonites capped the Alumni Homecoming celebration with a well-played victory over the Kahoks on Friday, October 30th, on the local field. The victory made it three in a row for the Maroon outfit, and the 800 fans who saw this league triumph witnessed a neat brand of football. A blocked kick in the early part of the second quarter by Leslie Cole started the Maroon eleven on an offensive drive that kept the game well in hand at all times. Although the Maroon attack failed to come through when the leather was on the goal line on two occasions, the fact that a substitute backfield played the major part of the game contains the explanation. Saint Eve and Biggs scored the Maroon touchdowns, Eddy going over for the first score just before the half closed on a run of twenty yards. A pass from Saint Eve to Biggs in the third quarter concluded the scoring. BELLEVILLE 6l-ALTON 0. It was Ed-dy Saint Eve's ninety-Hve yard runback of the opening kickoff at the Redbird field on the night of Novembebr 6th, for the game's only score that kept the Belleville Maroons in the league lead with four victories and no defeats. With the exception of the first quarter, Belleville was outplayed by the fighting Alton eleven, who gave the many Belleville fans a thrill in the third quarter when they advanced as far as the four-yard line with four downs to make the distance. But Belleville's line dug in and held the Red and Gray backs for four successive attempts to cross the last white line. Be1leville's center trio, Ervin, Cole and Schmisseur, were the outstanding mem- bers of the line, with Salty Green at end coming in for some honors. Saint Eve was the outstanding back. Several times Eddy came through on defensive play, when Alton ball-carriers had broken clear and were off on a touchdown sprint, only to be chopped down by the Maroon and White safety. BELLEVILLE 7-WOODRIVER 0. Once more, the Maroons were hard Dressed to win another conference game, this time the threats being the Woodriver Oilers. who gave the Maroons all they had for a full four quarters on a muddy field at Belleville on November 13th. It remained for Herb Becker to capture individual honors when the plunging Maroon fullback lived up to his conference reputation in the closing minutes of the last ouarter, advancing the ball almost single-handed from deep Belleville territory until it was across the goal line for the winning score. Herb also annexed the extra point. Toi the 800 fans who saw the game, the teams appeared evenly matched. but such was not the case, for Belleville far outclassed the visitors. They made eleven first downs to three, held Woodriver from crossing the middle of the field, and out- passed the visitorsp The Maroons had several scoring opportunities, but could not drive hard enough to take advantage of them. 1932 Page Sixty-four THE BELLEVINOIS THE BELLEVINOIS BELLEVILLE 0-EDWARDSVILLE 0. y The Edwardsville Tigers took advantage of a slippery, muddy field on the after- noon of November 21st, to display their best football of the season and hold the pennant-headed Maroons to a scoreless tie on the Devil's giidiron. This was the third successive conference game in which the Belleville contingent had a close call, and although the result of this'game did not materially lessen the chances of the Gundersonites, it took the edge off their confidence. ' Edwardsville had many chances to score in the second and third quarters with the wind at their backs. Belleville's punts, tossed by the miniature gale, never traveled over twenty yards, and in a few plays, the Bengals would again be knocking at the goal line. Belleville had their chance in the final quarter when Saint Eve made a thrilling end run to place the leather within the twenty-yard line, but two passes went awry, and the Tigers took over the ball, thus killing the Maroons' last opportunity to con- tinue their winning streak in the league. EAST ST. LOUIS 20-BELLEVILLE 0. The Maroons and the Flyers clashed at Parson's Field in East Side on Turkey Day morning with the championship of the loop depending on the result of the game. The first snow of the year fell on that morning, and it turned the field into a quagmire that absolutely killed the chances of the lighter Belleville eleven against the heavy Flyer machine. Frank Kavalier, East Side captain, and captain and fullback of the mythical all- State eleven, was at his best against the Maroons. The 8000 spectators who shivered through the one-sided contest saw the men of Coach Gunderson put up a game scrap against the overwhelming combination of weight, weather, and playing field. The gridiron was adapted to the heavy Flyers, who outweighed the Maroons by a twelve-pound margin per man. East Side's gains were made almost entirely through the line, the backs following in the wake of' the Orange and Blue linesmen who had but to push in and shove the lighter Maroon forwards back over the slippery surface. Belleville held the score to 7 to 0 for the first half and the greater part of the third quarter, but weakened before the attack of the new champions. Eddy Saint Eve was the Maroons' outstanding backfield man. Eddy was greatly handicapped by the poorly conditioned field. but made several nice runs for considerable yardage. Les Cole at guard had no trouble in breaking through the East Side line, but the Flyer backs had enough start to slide from his grasp. ALUMNI 9-BELLEVILLE 0. The Maroons brought the gridiron sport to a close on Wednesday, December 2nd, whenl they took a sound trouncing from the graduates of the high school on the schoo field. Brick Ehret was the graduate who was responsible for all of the victors' points. Ehret place-kicked a neat thirty yard field goal in the second quarter and plunged over the goal line in the last quarter for a touchdown. The field was not in very good condition, and with the week lay-off from practice taking the edge off the students teamwork, the heavier alumni team had things much their own way. The Maroons started clicking toward the end of the game, starting on a touchdovsm drive that was stopped only by the final whistle. 1 9 3 2 Page Sixty-five THE BELLEVINOIS BASKETBALL SQUAD First Row-Biggs, Lowery, Cole, Stonewater, Schwartz, Second Row-Manager Mertz, Saint Eve, Stegmeyer, Ruhman, Third Row-Manager Knefelkamp, Holt, Smith, Kaufman, Zaber, Green, Coach Friedli. COACH FRIEDLI This was Coach F1'iedli's fifteenth year of coaching the Maroon and White cage teams. His efforts were not as successful this year as in previous seasons due to the lack of mater- ial. However, he created a team that was able to give other schools a run for their money, and at times, defeat superior teams, as is evidenced by the time that his charges defeated the East St. Louis Flyers, depriv- ing them of an individual championship. 1932 Page Sixty-six THE BELLEVINOIS L TRACK SQUAD First Row-Knefelkamp, Brown, Hardt, Heely, Harper, Schifferdecker, Dunck, Smallwood, Randle, Storck.

Edwardsville Although Belleville won but one of their four dual meets, the Dupo contest, they possessed a well-balanced squad, one which gave the other conference schools a good deal of competition in the league meet. The most frequent point scorers on this year's team were Brown, Ha1'dt, Merck, Hambleton, Randle, Saint Eve, and Cole. 1932 Page Sixty-seven Basketball Team Personnel LESLIE COLE-Guard This was Cole's third and last year on a Maroon and White squad. Les was acting captain in all of the games, and he was the mainstay of the team on both offense and defense. He led the Maroon scorers from his guard post with ninety-eight points. RAYMOND LOWERY-Forward Boots was the smallest regular in the Southwestern Conference, and in spite of his size, was a thorn in the side of all formidable opponents. East Side rembers him well, for his scoring efforts cost them an undis- puted league title. This was Boots' first and last year on the team, for he graduates in June. THEODORE SMITH-Forward Ted was Belleville's second highest scoring man, being only a few points behind Cole. Ted was a regular forward all season for the Devils and his left-handed push shots made many opposing guards wish he was on the bench. This was Smith's second year on the team, but his first cage letter. He will be back next year. NORMAN STONEWATER-Center Stoney put up many a good scrap at the pivot post for the Belle- ville quintet during the past season. He has played his last game for the Maroons. This was his first year on the squad and his first letter in the hardwood sport. CHARLES STEGMEYER-Guard Another first year man who graduates after earning his letter. Steg- meyer always fought hard and gave his utmost in Belleville games. Al- though he had but little experience prior to this year, he held his oppon- ents to very few baskets. HOWARD BIGGS-Guard The Blonde Blizzard is the fifth senior on this year's lettermen ros- ter. Although this was his first year on the squad, he played a good defensive game at guard, and had an uncanny eye for the basket on long shots. GORDON SMYTH-Forward Another small man, Blackie held his own with the biggest and best in the Southwestern Conference. Smyth will be back next year to pair up with Ted Smith and form the nucleus for another one of Coach Friedli's quintets. 1932 1 g S ty-eight THE BELLEVINOIS THE BELLEVINOIS Tournament For the first time in the history of the school, the Belleville Maroons were eliminated in the first round of the district tournament held at this school from March 8th to March 12th, inclusive. O'Fallon was the team that dropped the Maroon and White from the running, defeating the men of Coach Friedli on the second night of the tourney by a 37-22 score. O'Fallon fell before East St. Louis in the next round, and the Flyers then continued on to the finals, where they met Dupo, who had advanced to the last round by virtue of three victories in their earlier games. Dupo upset the Orange and Blue in the last night's game by a score of 22-21. This victory gave the Oilers the right to represent this section in the Johnson City tournament, and at the same time, a lucky draw also allowed East St. Louis to enter the sectional. 1931-1932 Basketball Schedule Nov. 3 ...,,....,.,..,.....................,......,....

District Tournament-March 9, 10, 11, 12. 1 9 3 2 Page Sxty ne Review of the 1931-1932 Basketball Season 20-37. The Maroons opened the cage season at Mascoutah, losing to thc Indians by a safe score. It was anybody's game until the third quar- ter, when the Purple pulled ahead from the Maroons, who were without the services of regulars playing football. 13-12. The Friedlites captured their first victory of the season, defeat- ing the Lebanon Greyhounds in a close game on the losers' floor. Charley Stegmeyer put the game on ice in the final minute of play with an under basket shot. 14-20. The first home game with O'Fallon resulted in the .season's second defeat. Football men played for the first time in the second quar- ter, and showed quite a few rough spots. 19-15. A last half rally enabled the Maroons to defeat the Centralia Scarlet team in an away from home tussle. Losing 12 to 8 at the midway mark, the Maroons came back strong, holding their host scoreless until the last two minutes of play and at the same time, collecting a safe major- ity themselves. 9-25. Belleville was hampered by O'Fallon's small floor, and suffered a decisive defeat at the hands of the smaller school. This was the seas- on's third defeat and the second at the hands of O'Fallon. 20-13 Belleville pulled a close game out of the fire of Lebanon in the final quarter for their third victory of the year when Boots Lowery slipped a pair of much needed field goals through the loop in the closing minutes of play. 8-20. The first game in the conference was dropped to the Alton Red Birds. Alton got off to a nice lead, and were never headed, holding the Maroons to two field goals in the entire game. 13-16. On the following night, Belleville traveled to Freeburg, where they were defeated by a fast-breating Blue and White quintet. The vic- tors' style of play was too fast for the Maroon men's defense after the slow game at Alton the preceding night. 22-18. Once more the Maroons handed the Centralia Reds al second defeat in a rough game played on the local floor. Les Cole and Boots Lowery came through in the final quarter to put the game on ice with a barrage of field goals. 15-31. The Maroons were dropped into the cellar when Granite City handed them their second league defeat and their sixth seasonal defeat in ten starts. The Steelworkers were never in danger after the first quarter. 23-13. The Maroons won their first league victory when they tripped Woodriver on the Oilers' floor. Ted Smith led the Maroon scorers with nine points. 8-20. Bellevilleis traditional rivals, East Side, had a hard time beating the Maroons until a third quarter rally caved in the Maroons' defense. 1932 Page Seve ty THE BELLEVINOIS THE B ELLEVINOIS 17-19. The Collinsville Kahoks administered a sound defeat to the Devils on the local fioor, dropping the Maroons to the cellar level for the second time during the season. 19-26. The Madison Hubtowners handed the Maroons their fifth defeat in six starts in league play. The loss kept the Maroons in a tie with Edwardsville for last place. 31-17. The Edwardsville Tigers and Maroons met on the home fioor to decide the occupant of the cellar post at the close of the half season mark, with the result that the Maroons piled up a one-sided score and elevated themselves to .sixth place. 13-17. Alton seemed to have a jinx on the Maroons this season, for with a team that was not a bit better than the Belleville club, they handed the Devils another decisive defeat, although the score indicates a close game. 26-32. Granite City was hard pressed to win from the Maroons in the second encounter of the season between the two schools. Belleville led the majority of the game, butt Granite bombarded the hoop in the closing moments of play to insure a victory. 32-16. Belleville went back into a tie for fifth place when they inflict- ed a severe defeat on the Woodriver Oilers on the home floor. The Ma- roons possessed the same deadly shooting eye as in the previous game. 27-26. The Maroons rose to the heights on the night of February 5th, defeating the league leading East St. Louis Flyers in a nip and tuck battle that had the large crowd on edge for the entire game. Lowery and Biggs were high-point men. The defeat for the Flyers ultimately cost them the individual championship. 10-26. In the next game with the Kahoks, the Maroons displayed a type of basketball entirely different from their three previous games. They lacked an eye for the basket, and were unable to stop the accurate Collins- ville Purple cagers from hitting the hoop for points. 16-26. Madison pushed the Maroons into seventh place with a hard- fought victory on the Belleville fioor. The Maroons went into seventh place as a result of the defeat. 27-23. Edwardsville almost succeeded in defeating the Maroons with a last quarter rally, but the Maroons tightened up and insured a tie for fifth place in the final conference standing. This game with the Tigers finished the conference season. East St. Louis and Collinsville tied for first, while Granite City was third. Madison finished fourth, while Belleville and Alton tied for fifth. Woodriver was seventh and Edwardsville last. 29-20. The Maroons secured revenge for an early-season defeat at the hands of the Freeburg quintet when they pounded out a decisive victory over the Cahokia Conference entry. Les Cole played forward for the first time during the season and made sixteen points. 51-23. The Mt. Vernon Flames inflicted the severest defeat of the season upon the Belleville quintet when the Maroons visited their school. The Maroons never had a chance before their formidable opponents, who experienced little difficulty in scoring and keeping the Maroons scoreless. - 1932 Inga- S v tv 1 THE BELLEVINOIS BASEBALL SQUAD Standing-Manager Knefelkamp, Wangelin, Green, Cole, Kaufman, Schwartz, Pelz, Kulessa, Merkel, Coach Friedli.

The most dependable player on the team, Manny is but a Sophomore, and with two more years of competition ahead of him, Coach Friedli's worries for a catcher are at an end. Leslie Cole-First Baseman. Les, playing his second and last year on the team, fitted nicely into the strange position at first base. A good hitter and fielder, he was one of the mainstays of the team. Aubrey Green-Third Baseman. Another returning letterman, Salty was easily the best infielder on the squad. He will be missed next season when the time comes to fill the hot corner. Malcolm Wild-Left Fielder. Another Sophomore who shows signs of developing into a splendid player. Mal was a good hitter, being elevated to cleanup at the end of the season. Roy Weisenborn-Pitcher. The Maroon's regular pitcher is only a Jun- ior. Roy has still another season to bend the leather across the plate. Kenneth Schifferdlecker-Pitcher. Kenny earned his only letter as the reserve pitcher for the Maroons in his senior year. He was a great favor- ite with the onlookers. Harry Merkel-Catcher. Harry had the toughest job on the team, that of sub catcher. Harry is but a Junior, and will probably be playing a regular position next year. Walter Kulessa-Second Basemen. A good infielder and a steady hit- ter, Sleepy has still another year in which to cover the keystone sack for the Maroon and White. Edward Knaefelkamp-Shortstop. This was Ed's first year on the team, and as he is but a .second year man, he has two years to improve under Coach Friedli. Herbert Kaufman-Center Fielder. Herb played his first and last year on the team in the outfield, and there was not a ball that was able to get by the long-legged fielder. Herb was a good man at the plate in a pinch. Marion Capone-Right Fielder. Mary earned his first letter this sea- son in baseball, and as he is the only Freshman on the team, Belleville fans will see him perform for three more years. 1 9 3 2 Page Seventy-three April 11 .......,..., .,.........,,..,,.,..,..,...,,..,.....,..,.,,,,.

H ere Girls' Tennis Team For the third straight conference season, Belleville won a Southwestern championship in both the gills' singles and doubles. The girls were not extended to win any of their matches. Bernice Bien played singles and walked right through the opposition afforded by the other .schools. In the doubles, Mary Helen Andel and Dorothy Hoover also had things their way. Bernice will be back for the next two years as she is but a Sophomore. However, Mary Helen Andel graduates, and Coach Minnie Dill will have to find another player to carry on with Dorothy, who is a Junior. Boys' Tennis Team Coach W. H. Campbell's netmen made another good showing in the Southwestern Conference for the past season, achieving a tie for first place in the singles and a third place in the doubles. Robert Berg, Cyril Braun and Elmer Ruehl alternated in sharing the singles crown with Alton and Madison. In the doubles, Berg and Braun alternated with Arthur Schmisseur to annex five victories in seven league matches. Schmisseur and Berg were the returning lettermen and will be lost to the squad through graduation. However, Braun is but a Sophomore and Ruehl a Junior. 1932 lgs tvf ORGANIZATIONS THE BELLEVINOIS Bellevinois Staff Editor ...........,.......,....,.. -.. ...............,....................,...,,.,,,,A,.....,..,,,......,,,...,...,......,,,..,,....,..

The club meets regularly every month and its purpose is to foster bet- ter sportsmanship among the players. The club tries to set an example so that students will work harder to earn their letter and join this club. The club sponsors dances, sells tickets to all important school activi- ties and buys sweaters for the members of the club with the profits gained.

This year there are twenty-two members in the club. Each year the club as a whole works out some projects. This year they are making some linoleum block prints of the most picturesque spots in Belleville. These prints will be bound in booklet form and sold to the students as a memory book.

Dey Old H. T. H. S. has long felt a need for a boys' pep club. To meet this need about thirty of the outstanding boys in school, who were not partici- pating in athletics, organized just such a club at the beginning of this school year. ln collaboration with the Snappy Snappers, the girls' pep club, they made their first public appearance at the pep meeting of the first annual homecoming, which was held in the auditorium. The two pep squads certainly put the life into this meeting. What a sight it was to see those thirty boys dressed in their white trousers, maroon sweaters with white megaphone emblems, and small maroon caps parading with the Snappy Snappers, equally attractively dressed. What a th1'ill to hear the cheer- ing and singing led by the cheer leaders, Marie White, Cyril Vernier, Helen Cloud, Vincent Meinkoth, Melba Rogers and Chas. Fitzgerald! ln the years to come we hope to see this club continue to keep up their standards, back up the teams, and prosper. 1932 lkige Ninety-six X- - qg Q W A 411711113 lvl' IW, ,I 1 HW l':lgn- Nilnvty-an-vm-11 E BELLEVINO 3 VIVIENNE TI IEISS Queen K I IN 1 3.ll E BELLEVIN 0 I S EEEEEE LEEL L LESLIE COLE Popular Boy I 'N l 1932 BERNICE BIEN Sophomore Maid THE BELLEVINOIS GENE KIRCHER Junior Maid ix km x 5 Q i We , SALLY HEELY Freshman Maid Page One Hundred THE BELLEVINOIS VIVIENNE THEISS-QUEEN Vivienne's disposition won her many friends during her High School career.

The leading role was played by Howard Braun, a young director, who having endeavored to steer his brother-in-law away from promoter .sharks in Hollywood who offer to star his wife for the small sum of 2E30,000, decided when his warnings fell on deaf ears, to grab the di1'ect0rial reins himself and so salvage at least a part of his brother-in-law's money.

Justin Schoenenberger Mingle 1932 Page One Hundred Three THE BELLEVINOIS Rain I like to lie and listen to the rain That beats so fiercely on my window paneg I like to listen to the thunder roar, And think how quiet it was just before! I also like to see the lightning flash Across the heavens, with a mighty crash! Hearing the wind a-whisp'ring through the trees, Reminds we vaguely of a swarm of bees. A gentle dripping down the waterspout, Another crash! And all the lights are out! I close my eyes in simple ecstacy, And breathe the air just washed so fragrantly. I sleep! Lulled by the never ceasing drip, And sail through dreams upon my pillow slip. I dream my bed's a boat and I'm at sea, Of all the crew there's only left but me. I'm all alone! I cannot see the land! But lo! What is that yonder golden strand? I quickly guide my ship up to that shore, And find that I have seen this place before. But now I hear a voice thats' calling me, And hear a bird chirp yonder in my tree. The sun is streaming through my window wide, It's hot bright rays the rainwashed earth has dried. How sweet the day that greets me with a smile! I feel it holds something for me worth while!

Page One Hundred Ten THE BELLEVINOIS Foreword: Mindful of the unusual ability of the members of the Senior Class to write nonsense, we decided to publish the following limericks, their masterpieces. There was a young fellow named Issy, Who went for a ride in his lizzie, His view of the train, Was obscured by some rain. Alas for poor Issy, where is he? There once was a copper named Billy On his beat he acted quite silly Then one day a mob, Took him from his job Now he holds in his hand a sweet lily. When Les Cole went out for a spin His car raised a deafening din. So he raised up the hood And at once understood The reason for saving old tin. There was a dumb fellow named Butts Who was not necessarily nuts But one day he did try To pass a car by He found you can't argue with trucks. There was a young man called Witty Who stopped to play with a kitty The kitty was black, With a stripe down its back, Well-this is the end 0-f my ditty. There was a young fellow named Rod Who married a woman named Todd. They got in a fight, When he came home one night, And now he lies under the sod. There once was a school Belleville High The thought of it made students sigh The sighs turned to groans And then changed to moans As the time for the finals drew nigh. There was a young teacher named Dey Over whom all the teachers did cry He has a career But this is leap year And he'd better not say, Aye, Aye. Page One Hundred Eleven 1932 Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1932 SECTION I.

' 1932 Page One Hundred Fifteen THE BELLEVINOIS Class Prophecy I had been traveling in Europe for the past two years and consequently was uninformed concerning the political turmoil in America. When I did have an opportunity to glance at a newspaper I was so uninterested at the stress placed upon murders and suicides that I gradually read less and less. But one morning the following headline greeted my eyes, First Woman Elected President off United States! Imagine my surprise when I read farther and found that the newly-elected presidest was none other than Miss Florence Miller, a former member of the faculty at the Belleville Township High School! Immediately I wired my congratulations and received a reply in the form of an invitation. Amid all her popularity she had not forgotten her former students, and insisted that I visit her at the White House as soon as possible. I needed no second invitation so packed my baggage quickly and left for America. I When my boat docked in New York harbor I was greeted by my old pal Louise Mollman, fwe had not quarelled in 20 yearsl society matron of Mill- stadt. She was accompanied by her husband, Virgil Roebling, who had made a fortune selling peanuts in the Sunken Garden. CHis best customer was Mr. Yarbroughj. The rest of the party included Mr. Gaylen Ni en: fuglgg and his wife, the former Ruth Frank, and the spins er, e en dr-' gan, who was living on a palatial estate in Okawville. We proceeded to the 'car where I recognized the chauffeur, Leon Bischoff, who drove us to the largest hotel in New York, owned by Lester Deffenbaugh. The head porter, Longley Butts was ably assisted by Harry Ackerman, Frank Day, Adolph Auer, and Melvin Diehl. We were escorted to our rooms where four dainty maids awaited us. Although I had not recognized them they overcame their timidness and introduced themselves as, Corinne Zerban, Mignon Glueck, Helen Hausmann, and Edith Lee Parks. Since we had agreed to leave for Washington the next morning, we re- tired early. I had just gone to sleep and was in the midst of a pleasant dream when I was awakened by a terrible commotion in the room across the corridor. I crept to the door and listened through the key-hole. Although before this time, I did not know who the occupants of the room were, as the noise grew louder, I recognized the voices as those of Howard Biggs, Elmer Randle, Norman Stonewater, and Boots Lowery. Not until then did I realize that no murder was being committed, as I had thought, but that four members of the class of '32 were in the midst of a game of crap. Greatly disappoint- ed, because I had expected to have some excitement, I went back to bed and slumbered the rest of the night amid occasional outbursts from the room across the hall. y I arose early and met the rest of the party in the lobby. We had break- fa.st in the adjoining coffee shop where we were served by Josephine Bridges. Luckily we did not stay for lunch for we were told that the cook, Katherine Andel carried out the same menu used by Mrs. Jones. 1 9 3 2 Page One Hundred Sixteen THE BELLEVINOIS After a few minor delays I was driven to the train. I purchased my ticket from Howard Albert and a few minutes later bade my friends fare- well, and boarded the train to Washington. At first I had been in a rather sorrowful mood for I knew I would be lonesome riding all alone to Washington, but my fears vanished completely when I recognized the porter as Louis Jewett, because I knew he could furnish me with enough gossip for the whole trip. And in that I was not wrong, for immediately he informed me that the personnel of the train included Warren West-engineer, Earl Guthrie-fireman, Warren Duffield, Harold Ervin, Wilbur Florreich, Olin Gerdes, 'Arthur Fohr and John Grieves-assistant porters. The waitresses were Doris Gebhardt, Aurelia Auer, Mary Francis Begole, Bertha Gore, and Frances Hiltrop. The maids were Melba Kuhn, Joan Leber, Alice Mahr, and Estelle McCullough. After hearing these familiar names I knew I would enjoy the remainder of my trip. After gossiping with all of my friends I learned quite a few things of interest. Kenny Schuessler had been kicked out of Yale because of poor sportsmanship. Aliceann Godfrey was hostess of a night club in New York, operated by Robert Berg, where the main feature was an adagio by Mary Helen Andel and Temple Marsh. The cigarette girls in- cluded Ruth Fontana, Nita Gaubatz, Martha Gutherz, and Eileen Rice. Edna Mae Berger was the center of attraction in a hair-raising trapeze act in a circus. The fat lady was Kathryn Rapp, the bearded lady was Dorothy Palmer, and the living skeleton was Helen Eidman. This certainly was an interesting bit of news but the best was yet to come. Kenneth Taylor was principal of B. T. H. S. lMr. Schmidt had been taken to the insane asylumj and Charles Fitzgerald was assistant principal. The head of the History Department was Kathleen Duey, and Raymond Grimmer headed the English Department. By this time I had arrived at my destination and although sorry to leave good company, I was forced to get off the train for it had come to a sudden stop. Imagine my surprise when I was greeted by Miss Miller's private secre- tary, Dorothy Louis, who had brought with her a copy of Miss Miller's original Condensed American Government. We were whizzed to the White House, by Miss Miller's private chauffeur, Eddie Burckhardt. We hurried into the reception room and were immedi- ately escorted into the private office of the President, who was contem- plating the signing of a bill for the repeal of the 18th Amendment. After an exchange of greetings we settled down to discuss the past election. I learned that Miss Miller's phenomenal victory over her opponent Kenneth Schifferdecker, was partly due to the efforts of her campaign manager, Franklin Reiss. The Vice President who was elected with Miss Miller, was Arthur Buesch. Newly appointed members of the cabinet QMiss Miller was an ardent supporter of the spoils system J were Secretary of State- Martha Allen, Secretary of Treasury-Leslie Coleg Secretary of War- 1 9 3 2 Page One Hundred Sevent en Tony Christmang Secretary of Navy-Marcella Depperg Secretary of Agri- culture-Howard Fincke, Secretary of Commerce-Margaret Gore, Secre- tary of Labor-Dorothy Hasemang Secretary of Interior-Helen Hasler,g Attorney General-Norman Hartwellg'Postmaster General-Eugene Heid- inger. When I inquired of Miss Miller why she thought those particular persons would be capable of serving in the Cabinet, she replied that she offered them those positions because she had always remembered them as outstanding students of Civics, and who had never made a grade below 97. I agreed with her that they should deserve some recognition. Concluding her discussion of politics, Miss Miller, naturally being inter- ested in the welfare of her students, asked if I knew of the fortune or fate of any other members of that memorable class of '32. I told her about those whom I had heard of on my trip and those whom I knew personally. She was surprised to hear that Leah Hary played the mouth-harp at the Ritz Theatre, that Doris Horn had the leading part in a play, The Sleeping Beauty fshe slept through the whole playl , Margaret Hueckel had risen to sudden popularity at the publishing of her new book, The Advantages of a Depression. Wayne Hoover, Glibert Hambleton, Charles Miller, Adam Mauer, and Billy Otwell were airmail pilots who had recently been indicted for forming a monopoly of the trade between Swansea and Shiloh. They were tried by a jury consisting of Dolores Nebgen, Stanley Miller, Clarence Mueller, Will- mar Peters, Henrietta Kniepkamp, Florence Keim, Roberta Nivin, Evelyn Poser, Ruth Mueller, Loraine Sapp, Loraine Storner, and Wilbert Randle. Their lawyer was John Sprague, which accounted for their losing the case. Charles Stegmeyer was still going to high school, but was to receive a pension in 1953. , As our lengthy conversation drew to a close, Miss Miller suggested she escort us through the White House and other places of interest in Wash- ington. We considered this an honor for, although we had visited the sights of Washington before, we had never been escorted by the President. As we were taken from the Blue Room to the Gold Room, I noticed some- one scrubbing the floor. Upon closer observation I recognized the person to be Maria Altmansberger, who wrote poetry during her spare moments. She, like all other great poets, had to work to make a living and to receive inspirations. Three janitors of unusual ability were Homer Rheinhardt, John Rauth and Frederick Moehle. On our way to the capital I was attracted by the friendly nod of the street-cleaner, Walter Merz, who had been progressing rapidly in the world until he was found guilty of robbing the Bellevinois strong box. He had just been parolled from prison and his dejected mood was due to the fact that after his arrest he had been deserted by Theiss his one and only, who eloped with Robert Wiechert, the mayor of Swansea. In a few minutes we arrived at the Capitol anqd were shown through the building by a very efficient guide, Ovid Ruhman. Suddenly we heard some talking and laughing and several men came 1 9 3 2 Page One Hundred Eightee THE BELLEVINOIS THE B ELLEVINOIS around the corner, deep in a discussion of world news. Imagine my surprise when I recognized them as Lee Rockwell, Ambassador from England, Jacob Tennebaum, Ambassador from Italy and Tony Rutz, Ambassador from France. I stopped them and we began to talk of old times. They said that the last they heard of Robert Berg, he had won a tennis championship at Wimbledon. He seemed to be getting along pretty well as a bachelor and often entertained with large parties at the hangar at Scott Field. Arthur Schmisseur was sports writer for the Freeburg Herald, edited by Ione Ruhman. Other members of the editorial staff were Henry Smith, Donald Randle, Frank Rezny and Edward St. Eve. Jennie Nevener, so they related, was following the example of Jane Addams, and had founded a large settlement house in New York. Her assitants were Marjorie Reeder, Maryan Middlecoff, Irene Rodenmayer, and Audrey Robertson. Some of the most interesting inmates were Ralph Schlesinger, Lyman Mertz, Helen Keil, and Ellen Knobeloch. In the midst of our conversation we heard the clamor and banging of drums. We rushed to the window just in time to see a gala procession wending its way down Pennsylvania avenue. We were all the more interested when we recognized Earl Zwetsche as drum major. Following the drum corps was an open, car displaying Herbert Kaufman, the person honored. He had just received a patent for his voilet-scented flea powder, the marvel of the age. Accompanying him were his wife, Ethel Mutto, who had contributed many rare specimens toward the success of the inven- tion, Charles White, Ruth Wagner and Dorothy Titze. When Herbert rec- ognized us among his crowd of admirers he stopped the parade and insisted that we ride with him. This great honor overcame our modesty, so amid shouts and cheers we crowded into his Austin. You can imagine that con- versation was not lacking! He was overjoyed to see us, especially his for- mer Civics teacher, Miss Miller. He inquired about his classmates Che had not been affected by all his popularityj and after we told him all the infor- mation we had gathered, he related all he knew. A few nights ago he had heard a sermon by Magdalene Spitz, the Woman Evangelist. Genevieve Storck, Ruth Smith, Doris Wodley, Bernard Walker, Ellian Waigand and Mildred Storck fit ran in the familyj were inmates of an insane asylum at Alton. Pearl Vogel was broadcasting over radio station B. V. D. every Tuesday and Thursday. Russel Werle, James Vincent, Edward Ziehnert were station announcers. Virginia Schnaare, with her silvery voice was the most popular broadcaster. Ozello Schisseur gave daily talks on The Merits of Hair-Pins. Suddenly I realized that I had heard of all the members of the Class of '32, When I mentioned that fact to Miss Miller she replied, But you haven't told me about Sarah Mary Farthing. What is she doing now? Oh! I answered, Sarah Mary? This is her busy year. You know it's leap year again.

I saw a ladder .shining bright And on the top a few. The strange thing was that I could see Upon the lower rungs, Climbers not unknown to me, Friends of my own tongue. Who were they, you would like to know? These climbers who passed up the fool, Who kept a steady pace, not slowg Why-they're from my High School. And as I watched the true ones climb The ladder to the peak, I thought and then made up my mind For such a place I'd seek. Now at the bottom we've begun to build To plan our future lives- We'll climb the ladder rung by rung Until we gain our prize. -MARGARET HUECKEL, '32.
