The Bellevinois 19 3 3 VOLUME 17 V r Published by Senior Class Belleville Township High School Belleville, Illinois Dedication We, the class of 1933 dedicate this volume to Mr.E.G Hexter with the appreciation of his fine service as the sponsor of the Junior class and patient understanding as a teacher. Foreword V V. . We, the members of the staff, and Seniors of l!Wd, desire to here present a perpetuator of our and your careers in a .Memorial to life’s young ambi¬ tions, hopes and happiness. Moreover, herein lies the indelible expressions and irradicable impression of a year of trial and conquest! Furthermore, in thought strengthened by a patient faculty, in loyal¬ ty upheld by an earnest student body, in spirit en¬ couraged by past achievements, we offer you this panegyric, believing sincerely that its inspiration will be both great and constructive and hoping its pages in years to come will offer the most pleasant of recollections. —io— fCCEWCKC 1933 T HE Adler-Planetarium ami Astronomical Mu¬ seum. northernmost structure on Northerly Island, is an imposing edifice of rainbow gran¬ ite, dodecagonal in shape, with copper dome. Inset at the exterior corners are bronze plaques of the twelve Signs of the Zodiac. Tnside, a heavenful of drama as old as the Earth itself will unfold itself to the Exposition visitors. The firmament passes in review. Visitors sit be¬ neath an artificial sky and see the stars and planets, the Sun and Moon, move across the dome. It is perfection of detail such as this that has caused famous astronomers to pay tribute to the country’s only planetarium as “the most remarkable way of teaching astronomy.” r — 14 — CCNTENTS Carillon Hall Hall of Science Contents Administration Classes Activities Campus Leaders Athletics Organizations Humor 1933 In Memory of ERNA THOMAS A member of the class of 1933 MME mM W E EXTEND to the Board of Education our most sincere appreciation of their untir¬ ing effort and forethought in maintain¬ ing the highest standards of education during one of the most trying periods of history. The loyalty of the personnel of this Board, of which we are so proud, is the culmination of Civic pride. 1953 Mr. Arthur Jones, President Mr. Arthur Buesch • Mr. F. E.

Dew D EPENDABILITY more than brilliancy; re¬ sponsibility more than learning; character more than mere knowledge; are qualities es¬ sential to good citizenship. No matter how brilliant an individual may he, if he is not reliable, if he will not assume responsibilities, if h.is character is not such that he contributes to the general well-fare of his community, such an individual is essentia’ly anti¬ social. Such an individual is not essentially edu¬ cated. Mere learning, mere theory, mere speculation, and mere belief are of very little value unless they can be put into being. This proves we need not education alone so much as training in the matter of reliability, assuming responsibility, and living a wholesome life. Education in that sense will con¬ tribute to the re-establishment of a firmer, finer citizenry and people—and it should do that—more than it has in the past. Let us resolve to enlarge our views, let us liberal¬ ize our views, to become more just and more benev¬ olent, more sincere and careful in our personal conduct, all to the end’ that we may contribute to human good. And to these ends let us educate. H. G. SCHMIDT, Principal A.B.. B.S., M.A., I). Litt. H. G. SCHMIDT, A.B., B.S., M.A., D. LITT.

Sciences, symbolized by the wheel of the zodiac at its base, and Industry, by machine wheels and gears, were modelled in plaster by Alvin Meyer and covered with aluminum leaf. This west facade is a striking example of simple de¬ sign. It is done in white and gray, with stripes of cobalt blue on the window sashes and triangles of red under the cornice and above each pylon. The main entrance hall of the Administration building is a vast room, housing miniature models of Exhibition buildings and model of the complete World’s Fair plan. —28— A D U I N I $ T E A T I € N R.

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 th s science have bc;n so largely respons.ble for the extraordinary advances in other sciences which the past generation has witnessed. The more mathe¬ matics contributes to the development of oth r sc er.ces the more dependent upon ' t they become. The world in which we live is incurable mathematical. Every human be.tig is born into a physical univefse in which quantity, shape and s ; ze 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 ccnnot make or manufacture tie simplest article without giving constant attention to its form, is 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 c mi putation the world of science would cease. Algebra furnishes economical methods and formulas for many of these computations. Trigonometry, being essent allv 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 civihzati n, 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 lirst 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 he 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 ha 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, fhc 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 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 occuring 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 arc 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. THE MODERN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT The Modern Language Department offers two years of French, and German. In the first year, the fundamentals of the grammar of the language are emphasized, while in the second yar, mor 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 classes, the new Language, Literature, and Life scries of texts is being used, which contains grammar, reading, and essays in English concerning 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 impart¬ ing a knowledge of the foreign country, past and present, and inspiring an interest in the life and characteristics of its people. THE 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 preceding years. As in the years before, our courses in theory include harmony, history of mus e 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. T he work given consists of apparatus, calisthenics, rhythmic work, games, tumbling and wrestling. AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT The object of all vocational training is to fit the student for useful employment. The aim of vocational agriculture is to prepare boys for the work on the farm. The agriculture department has 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 community. 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 development: and in keeping with the increase in the enrollment of the school, the science depart¬ ment has had a similar growth. In ten years, the science faculty has increased pro¬ portionately. During that time an additional laboratory has been epuipped and many pieces of apparatus, both for dcmonstrational 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, chemist ry or zool¬ ogy in the Junior year and physics in the Senior year. Much credit is due Mr. Schmidt f or 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 1935 —37“ 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 individuals: 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 minute; principles of composition are enlivened with new material; the discussion of social and economic problems is encouraged n public speaking. The reading courses are no longer confined to the classics, but include the selections 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 asatisfaction 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 economic organization 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 contometcr. Every effort 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 aristic 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 types of applied design are practic ' d. 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 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 Caesar and the wars of which this great soldier 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. 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 characters. 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 im¬ press the fundamental, but also relieves the librarian of much of the routine w rk 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. -38- 1935 Outline of Courses English Algegra Biology Latin German French Ancient History x 2 Arts and Crafts English Geometry Medieval History Physiography Botany Latin German French Arts and Crafts FRESHMEN Shop Practice Home Economics Domestic Art Design General Agriculture Bookkeeping Vocational Agriculture Business Arithmctc 2 SOPHOMORE Mechanical Drawing Shop Practice Home Economics Agriculture Bookkeeping Stenography Typing Shop Mathematics General Business Stenography Typing Music Appreciation Piano Chorus Orchestra Gym Transcript, Business Prac. l 2 Commercial Geography x 2 Commercial Law x k Commercial Arithmetic x 2 Piano Theory and Harmony Chorus Orchestra Gym English Advanced Algebra Solid Geometry x 2 Zoology Chemistry Vocational Agriculture Stenography Latin JUNIOR German English History V 2 Modern History Va American History l 2 Home Making Arts and Crafts Mechanical Drawing History of Music Shop Practice Accountancy Salesmanship l 2 Advertising l 2 Piano Chorus Gym English x 2 Journalism V 2 Public Speaking x z American History Vi Civics x 2 I atin SENIOR Economics x 2 Physics Sociology x 2 Trigonometry x k College Algebra l 2 Mechanical Drawing Shop Practice Home Economics Arts and Crafts Piano Orchestra Chorus Gym I —39— CURRICULA FINE ARTS VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE GENERAL INDUSTRIAL HOME ECONOMICS COMM ERCIAL STENO¬ GRAPHIC BUSINESS INDUSTRIAL DIVISION English Arts and Crafts Algebra Biology English Arts and Crafts Geometry Elective English Hist, of Music Am.

Recreational Games ESIGNED to contain and display the woml ers of science and the industries related to it, and to disseminate through lectures and exhibitions knowledge of the marvels accomplished by the scientific professions, this Temple of Science is itself something of a marvel in construction and design. The progress the world has experienced in the century during which Chicago has grown from a village of 350 inhabitants to a metropolis of 3,500,000 people has been due to man’s increasing mastery over natural forces—to scientific discover¬ ies of science, explain the manner in which they have been applied to industry and give the specta¬ tors an idea of humanitiy’s conditions of living be¬ fore and after their advent. Science and industry form the nucleus of this ex¬ hibits scheme. CLASSES History of Class of 33 Our four year’s are over. Gee! but they were short and happy ones. We of the graduating class have certainly enjoyed our four year ' s within the walls and about the campus of this institution. Now the day has come for rrs to make our final appear¬ ance garbed in cap and gown. We entered the school as green and silly Fresh¬ men. As we passed through the first three years our silly and childish ideas seemed to have vanished. At the end ' of the Senior year we are ready to leave the school with culture and refinement. Securing happiness wasn’t our only success, hut we have also acquired a great amount of knowledge. We entered as raw material, and after four years of study and training we are leaving as finished pro¬ ducts. As we part, remember these are the four happiest years of your life so make the most of them. PHIL E. WEBER The Senior Class President. (Tiarles Merck Secretary-Treasurer .

The last two years have been the easiest years of our high career but we are now ready for harder work. We have selected our rings and are already preparing material for our Jamboree. We have always had efficient class officers. This year we have chosen Doris Schwarz president; Blanche Eggman, vice-president; Malcolm Wild, secretary-treasurer. Under their leadership and help of the class we hope to have a very successful year. As a class we strive to bring honors to our school, always trying to do better year after year.

History of Class of ’35 We have now reached that stage in development termed Sophomore; a stage to whicli all Freshman aspire, and one which our predecessors, the Juniors, view with chin tilted scorn. It won’t be long now until we too will have passed this Sophomore stage to the Junior stage of develop¬ ment, and we will then be aspirants to that exalted stage, termed Senior. At times the progress of this development seems so long, and yet, so short. Just yesterday we were Freshman, today Sophomores, tomorrow Juniors, and the day after Seniors, always remembering, and never forgetting. “A Man’s Reach Should Exceed Ilis 0rasp”.

Melchior Zollner, Myrtle History of Class of ’36 September Seventh, Nineteen-Thirty-Two, marked a thrilling experience for the members of the Class of 36. It was our first day at high school. To us tin surroundings looked strange and ' we all felt uncomfortable for the first few days. The upper classmen were constantly playing tricks on ns, but we found out that they didn’t mean any harm and were really trying to help us. The first thing we Preshies did was to elect our class officers. The class chose the following officers to guide us through our first year: Ruth Jane Hexter, President; Arthur Davis, Vice-President: Virginia “Pussy” Merrills, Secretary-Treasurer; and Miss Christine Fischer, Class Sponsor. There isn’t much more to be said because babies can’t talk very well. However, the upper classmen think that we are up and coming youngsters and it won’t be long for us to outgrow our baby davs. Tn another year we’ll be gav sophomores, but that’s a different story, ami we’ll let our next Secretary- Treasurer tell about our second year.

Looking across the lagoon one sees on the north end of the island a peculiar resemblance to machinery. To be sure, it’s many times magnified, for the building is 628 feet long and rises some 40 feet above the ground. The arched roof on the north section, ex¬ tending to the ground, corrugated in plan and the long horizontal fin above the roof, running the full length, suggest moving machinery belts or cater¬ pillar chains. Like the other buildings, this one is of steel frame covered with specially treated gypsum board. Across the avenue from the building will be the Florida gardens, brilliant with the fragrant bloom of buginvillaea, poinsettia, palm trees and hibiscus, against the background of the lagoon. An unusual shaped corridor 40 feet high, running full length of the building, forms the central feature from which branch exhibits on both sides. The west half of the roof, lower than the arched corridor, will he a terrace, connected with the avenue by three stairs. This terrace will be a gathering place to view the lagoon and 1 the many events to take place therein.

I j .! I —8i— ROM the earliest dawn of history until about a century ago, man moved on the surface of the earth only as fast as his own feet, the feet of animals, or the winds would carry him. During the past century, power, generated by the combustion of fuels applied through mechanical equipment to wheels and propellors, has revolutionized travel on the surface of the earth and made it possible for man to invade the realm of the air and the depths of the sea. The manner in which this transformation has been brought about and its effects on our mode of living will, it is expected, be shown in the Travel and Transport show of A Century of Progress Exposi¬ tion— Chicago’s lOTl WorkV’s Fair. 82- SALLY HEELY Basketball Queen —84— Front row, left to right: Harper, Green. Wild, Braun, Hammel, I)unck, Schleuter, Zaber. Second row, left to right: Manager Knefelkamp, Baer, Goodall, Smith, Coach Friedli, Captain McMillan, Mueller, Desbergcr, Holt, and labeling This was Coach Friedli s sixteenth year and it seemed to be unlucky for him. Fritz worked hard, but was unable to get his men through to the top. His hopes for next year are fairly high. Coach Friedli Paul Ebcling Center Paul was regular center for the sec¬ ond half of the sea¬ son and played bes in defensive though he did sonic scoring. He topped off two successful year at Okawville High with a good season here. Clinton Goodall Guard Clint was the regu¬ lar guard and show¬ ed outstanding work most of the season despite a mid-year slump. Goodall was accurate on 30 foot shots, but stood out brilliantly in his de¬ fensive work. Aubrey Green Center “Salty” earned a let¬ ter though he only played until Febru¬ ary. Though not up with the leaders in scoring. Green played well on the defensive. Tom Baer Guard Tom was the other regular guard and though s m a 11 he s tuck with some mighty tall men Toward the ’ast of the season Tom be¬ gan to sink long field goals, totaling six of these in about 8 games. Wilbur Hohlt Forward and Center Wil. like Ebeling came from Okaw¬ ville and although he was not a regular he played good bask¬ etball and a’ternat- ed with the regulars at either forward or center. Norman Schlueter Forward “Nigger” had a good season with another bright one in view. Playing the first half of the season at guard, Manny was shifted to a regular forward berth in the last half and worked mighty well with McMillan. Captain Robert McMillan Forward “Red” was the main¬ stay of the Maroon team this year, rank¬ ing fourth in con¬ ference scoring. His snappy offensive and defensive work earn¬ ed him much praise. Red played at Mt. Vernon in 31. Thecdore Smith Forward “Israel” was the left handed baskettosser who scored man points for the Ma¬ roons, though he, like Green, gradua¬ ted in February. Ted scored 96 points up to February, which isn ' t bad at all. —86— 1932-33 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Nov. 11 . .Belleville Nov. 15 . Nov. 23 . Nov. 2o . Nov. 29 . Dec. 3 . Dec. 6 . Dec. 10 . Dec. 13 .

Munden, Manager Geolat Julius Katz—Tackle ••Bulldog ' s” work this season won his constant praise from the student body. He is small but mighty as all of Belle¬ ville’s opponents found out. He will also graduate in June. Aubrey Green—End “Salty ’ was the only Ma¬ roon member of the all-con¬ ference team. Sa’ty seemed to be the only end able to catch passes. He was one of BollevilVs “iron men” who played every quarter in every game. Roumens Hansen—Tackle This was Hansen’s first sea¬ son with the regulars and he. as well as Katz, is small but mighty. Hansen turned in his best performances against Edwardsville and Wood river. He rated the second all-conference e’even. Richard Schwarz—Center “Moby” and Green, were the outstanding Maroon players. Schwarz was on the second all-conference team and due to his brilliant playing he shared the captaincy with Harper. Schwarz was the other member of the “Iron Men having played every quarter of every game. LEE HOLT—Halfback Frederick Lutz—Fullback Lutz was one of the best line nlungers and fair on end runs His excellent backing up of the line stopped many a play that was headed toward the goal. Lee was kept out the first half of the season due to his injured knee, pass¬ ing and punting paved the way for several Maroon touchdowns. He played his best in the Alton and Collinsville games. MALCOLM WILD—Halfback “Bennie,’’ will be one of the two men to return next year. He was Belle- x ille’s best pass receiver and is also (piite fast on his feet. Although left handed he can pass well. lie probably will he moved to quarterback next year. —91— ; ft 8 | ' i. Nile Harper—Quarterback “Harpo,” the diminutive sig¬ nal-caller was the fastest hackfield man for the Devils. He shared the capacity with Schwarz. Harpo turned in his best performances in the Alton and Woodriver games. His punting in the earlier part of the season kept the Maroons out of danger. Don Wangelin—Guard This was Don’s second sea¬ son on the first squad and his excellent defensive work kept the Maroons from be¬ ing scored on more frequent¬ ly. Don will also graduate. Herbert Becker—Halfback “I’opeye,” the fighting back- field star of the Maroons was the heavy scorer of the team. His best game was th° Edwardsville game in which he scored three touch¬ downs in one quarter. Her!) would probably have scored manv points except for an in¬ jured shoulder which kept him out for two weeks. Herb also rated the second all¬ conference team. Elden Mantle—End “Mag’s wonderful offensive and defensive play broke up many a play and his work was greatly appreciated by hi teammates who elected him captain of the 1933 team. Robert McMillan—Guard “Red topped off a successful season at Mount Vernon, with an excellent showing in all the 1932 Maroon games. The stellar playing of both Red and Don Wangelin with Dick Schwarz made the cent¬ er of tlie line impregnable. Harold Vcelkel—Guard “Fatso,” the furious farmer, fought valiantly last season and though short, he played better than most of his taller and heavier opponents. An¬ other senior who will be lost to the 1933 squad. PRESTON JOHNSON—End This was I’. K.’s first year on the regulars and he played well during the time he was in. 1 . K. was the “Hard Luck Man” of the squad, starting three games and being injured in all three. Mis knee was wrenched during the Kd- wardsville game, which kept him out for the rest of the season. ZANE ZABER—Tackle Zaber was one of the lettermen from 19:11 and played his best in the (Iranite City and ' East Side games. Another senior who will be lost by gra¬ duation. —92— BELLEVILLE, 19 — Edwardsville, 6 Rallying in the second half the Maroon Devils in the person of Herb Decker seored 19 points, to win the first conference game. Becker scored eighteen of these. Harper place-kicked after touchdown for the other point. Edwardsville’s touchdown came in the first puarter after Ingels blocked and recovered Harper’s punt, Zirges scored. Early in the second half Belleville made an SO yard drive for the first touchdown. The second one came in the third quarter also. It happened when Baird, Tiger halfback, fumbled Belleville recovering. Becker scored. Harper place-kicked for the extra point. A few minutes later on a 4 yard punt by Baird, Belleville had the hall on the Tiger’s 10 yard stripe. On 2 plays Becker again scored. This completed the scoring. For the Maroons Becker was outstanding. Harper, Lutz,Katz, McMillan, and Green, also played well. For Edwardsville, Baird, Vanso, Lanham, Zirges, and Birger, all played well. BELLEVILLE, 12 — GRANITE CITY, 6 On October 15, the Maroons won out over the Steel Workers in a hard fought battle. Gundy’s team started off well, scoring all their points in the second quarter. Belleville’s first score came in the opening minutes of the second quarter. Mantle blocked a Granite kick and recovered on the Granite 37 yard line. Harper and Neu made four and eight yards respectively. On the next play Becker scored from the 25 yard line. Harper failed to add the ex¬ tra point.

Lutz passed to Neu for 23 yards to put the ball on Granite’s six yard line. On four downs Belleville could get no further than the 1 foot line. On a poor kick which landed back of the goal line gave Belleville their second ' touchdown, Harper failed in the try for the extra point. In the third quarter Granite got the ball on their 10 yard line and Han¬ sen, Frey and McCormick alternated with the ball driving down the field un¬ til Frey went over the goal. This ended the scoring. The only danger after that came in the last minutes play. Granite advanced to Belleville’s 6 yard line but the Maroons held. The outstanding players for Maroons were Becker, Neu, Lutz, Green, Schwarz, Mantle and Katz. BELLEVILLE, 6 — MADISON, O On October 22. the Maroons nosed out Madison in a raggedly played contest. Madison team was weaker then when they were defeated by East Side but the Maroons were crippled by the loss of Harpr and Neu. In the first quarter each team tested the others strength. In the second quarter, Belleville had the hall on Madison’s 42 yard line. In two plays Harper made 23 yards. Wild tossed to Mantle to put the hall on Madison ' s 9 yard line. I11 two more plays Lutz scored. Harper’s place kick for extra point went wide.

BELLEVILLE, O — COLLINSVILLE, O Playing their own on a muddy field, the Kahoks held the penant-headed Devils to a scoreless tie in 60 minutes of spectacular football. The Maroons were kept on their toes by the aerial attack led by “Nig” Haisler. Although the Kahoks were never inside Belleville ' s 40 yard line they threatened continually. The first half was mostly an exchange of punts except for a Maroon pass from Lutz to Green for 16 yards, which brought the ball to the Kahoks 6 yard marker. The Kahoks line held and Haisler punted out of danger. In the second half, Stephens, of Collinsville, intercepted Lutz’s pass and race to the ten yard line. Belleville held and punted. Haisler returned the punt 46 yards be¬ fore Don Wangelin downed him. Belleville tried a desperate passing attack which gained several yards hut the gun ended before they could score. On the last play Holt passed to Harper for 32 yards. Harper was in the clear hut slipped and fell on the Kahok’s 10 yard line. On the offense, Becker, Harper and Neu starred while Don Wangelin and Salty” Green shone brilliantly on defense. 1933 —93— ALTON, 7 — BELLEVILLE, 0 The Maroons lost their first game of the season to the Alton Ililltoppers. This game dropped the Devils to second place, Granite holding first. Lee Holt was the outstanding Maroon man, excelling in punts which averaged 35 yards and passed a total of 57 yards. Green and Captain Schwarz were brilliant in the line. The Maroons outplayed the Red Birds but Alton just took advantage of a chance while the Maroons muffed two chaVices. The Maroons best scoring chance came in the second ' period. Receiving the ball on Belleville’s 34 yard line, Ilarper made 9 yards and Becker 4. Holt passed to Geolat for 20 yards, putting the hall on Alton’s 33 yard line. Harper made 6 yards and Geolat 5, to end the half with the ball on Alton’s 22. Tn the third period Tischer.

He was always in the thick of the game when he wasn’t sitting on the bench or at club meeting with his wife. Gundy’s favorite dish is asparagus, but be was a good passer. Gundy started all the plays and later I’ll tell you who ended them. He will be back next year. FRITZ FRIEDLI—britz was the veteran of the team. His unerring logic brought the faculty five out of many an oratorial squabble. His discriptive phrases left the ieferee without a comeback. They called him “eagle eye” because he had such a hooked nose (no offense, coach). His ability to play football was the main reason for his playing the team through. JOHN STEUERNAGEL—“Sweatpants” Steuernagcl was one of the crowds favorites. One wouldn t think that one so huskily built could be so graceful, but when “Sweat¬ pants” fell on the floor he rose again with such a light and lithe step—well, it was remarkable. Maybe he practiced that at home. Rang! Crash! John had a pair of sweatpants (from which lie derived his nickname) that he loved as only a mother can love her child. John took his sweatpants with him wherever he went when he played —He didn’t go very many places. He found a spot he liked on each floor and sorta’ stayed there. “HERBY’ DEY—“Dauntless ’ I)ey de dribbling dart dat dumped de dopes dat dot do deachers doat. “Herby played center with a spill that only a veteran of the hard¬ wood (like Herby) could display. His dashing work on the bench was the delight of all the teachers—in the stands. Herby was one of the mainstays of the faculty of¬ fense he could always be counted upon for a free throw which sometimes won the game. Granite City for instance, 17-16. Herby always liked his dish of Spinach, whipped cream and onions before a game, though—yes, Herby had to have his nourishment. CAPTAIN TRABUE—( aptain Trabue ended most of the faculty’s plays—by falling on the floor. He was so cute when he did that. Captain Jimmy’s wife was one of the hearty rooters for the team, and when she would cry, “Jimmy, make a basket” Jimmy made a basket and only then. I don’t remember her ever hollering that! Scrappy Jimmy from Seventy First Street—or some place out there—could shake hands better than the ordinary man and he sure did it well when he met the opposing Cap¬ tain. He’d cripple the poor guy and then we’d have a better chance. ALVIN NEBELSICK—Alvin showed his worth by his superb floor work at Madison. His wife went home to mother the day before so Alvin got to go to Madison. The school should thank his wife for that (I understand, though, that they are back to¬ gether again). Alvin put on a demonstration during the half which delighted the fans enormously (or sumpin’). Such dexterity—tsk! tsk! first with one hand—then the other; then with one foot—then the other and so on. Alvin will be back next year to form the nucleus of the faculty team with Gunderson, Friedli, Steuernagcl, Dev and Trabue. —128— k FUN FOR FOUR MINUTES!

PROPHECY In tlie year 1950 “we,” of course we were still palling together, (Decided to go the Universal Pair which was being held at Mars. Since the last few years we had been tied down with material duties, we lecided to go to the 1 ' air as a much-needed tling. The routes to Mars had been greatly developed by the renowned Professor E. G. Ilexter, who proved the world’was a triangle, not a sphere, by using the Law of Sines. We hoped to meet again some of our old classmates of 1933, a few of whom had become quite famous such as: Roy Wcissenborn being our equilibrius and preponlerous lictatorial—what-ja-ma- call-it; Alan Perry, who became, as was prophesised by our esteemed Scotch Professor, “The future farmer of America” (indeed 1 , his spinach is quite the raspberries; you should try it); Preachifi Rabbi Spiriti still expostdating on the early years of his esteemed people; and not to forget since Paderwiski had gone to his eternal rest, our most renowned Robert Klinglioso had become the famous violinioso. After seeing our baggage plane off we abscondel at 12 o’clock from our palatial estate in Australia to Paris in our private plane, “The Bellevinois.” Becoming confidential we told our pilot, who was none other than Jean’s first flame, Warren Sexton, of our desire to meet some classmates from the old sanitarium, the B. T. II. S., and to our surprise he told us that Don Wangelin. which brought fond memories to Jane Ijee, had established’an air port known as Mill-Karch being named after his beloved teachers, located in the southern part of the state of Nebel-Thorne. Of course we were determined to stop and see him and within five minutes we were there. As we betook ourselves from our “Bellevinois,” we saw ambling toward us several greasy, grimy, filthy things supposedly humans. We found them to be none other than Charles Merck, our illustrous Senior president, with his triumvirates, Ralph Hippard, Jerome Abendroth and’ Lawrence Lougeay. Although they appeared to be some unknown specie of worm, when we dis¬ covered who they were we all but fell on their necks. After hilarious saluta¬ tions they propelled us to the office of the High Muck-a-Muck. Don Wangelin. After reminiscing for a few minutes, Don suggested showing us through his edifices which we hailed with enthusiasm. Introducing us to his employees we found out his secretary was none other than Jeanette Proffer and her three assistants, Dorothy Berning, Marian Deppe and Bernice Derisia and the flashy little runt Joe Rhein as vice-president (of course, one would’ expect that) and Archibald Eggersman as a Comptroller of Currency. Since we were in a hurry, for we had to reach Paris by one o’clock, Don told us that Kenneth Neu, P. K. Johnson, Yernon Heafner, Elmer Ruehl, Charles Rockwell, Milton Ehret, Billy Williams, Zane Zaber, Melvin Metzler, Adrian Peterson, Wilber Zellmer, Lester Whittlich were all B. T. II. S. classmates under his supervision. After fond farewells and after we were ensconced in our aerial taxi we started upon our fifteen minute lap to Paris. Flying over such a low country we began to notice the towns and signs beneath us. We caught a fleeting glimpse of the picture of Kathryn Marsh and her sunny smile advertising Will¬ ard Kunze’s new tooth paste. Likewise we saw Helen Marie Hagan advertised as the next champion of women boxers, her manager being Armin Emig; also Helen Cloud, Julia Kohl. Olga Fincke (she has grown), advertising the Follies with the greatest attraction being the husband and wife team, Gene Kircher and Henry Smallwood. LaFayette, we are here! We landed on top of the Eifel Tower at 1:05 o’clock and we were met by the Eifel Tower Hotel Manager, who turned out to be Clifford Hammel, and what a reception! There in this sumptuous hotel we signed on the (Dotted line and noticed right above our names appeared a Mr. and Mrs. F. Lutz and’we asked Cliff if they were Pep and Mel that we knew in high school. He said they w’ere and he would take us up to their rcom on the eighty-fifth floor. On entering the elevator, we were whisked up by none other than Charles Ilarszy. As we went flying up in space, we caught a glimpse of a few familiar faces, and’some of them were: Goldie Oberman, Myldred Nieholoson, Mary Jo Merrils, Roumens Hansen (Romance Handsome), —i3S— 1933 Edith Gerber, Clinton Goodall, Helen Graiulcolas, Harold Cross, Richard Agile, all of whom we discovered on inquiring were going to the Universal Pair. We rang a bell and because of television we saw Pep. He let us in and began to yell for “Mimi.” Mel came in as small as ever. We talked about the fun we had had ' in high school. During our visit we heard a waa- vaaa-! In the adjoining room we found twins, duplicates of Pep and Mel, sitting on the floor yelling like Pep and Mel used to. After getting washed up, Clifford said he would take us through his huge hotel, for he reminded us we would meet some folks we used to know and sure enough there was Charlotte Auerbach, Gladys Davidson, Doris Marie Etling, Rose Margaret Freudenberg scrubbing the floors, and Walter Gray, Sylvester Krehr, Vernon Meyer, Melvin Weith, Melvin Seibel, Norman Schragg, George Stolberg and Theodore Smith, all having illustrious jobs as janitors; the tele¬ phone girls were also friends of ours: Flora owers, Virginia Taylor, Jessie Sapp, Jane Tiedeinann, Bessie Schneider, Lorena Schmidt, Thelma Wilson and Violet Villharcf. (Remember the good old days at B. T. II. S., girls?) Led on by the enticing fumes that reached us in tin dining room we hur¬ ried to the kitchen and there we found Harold Voelkel as the chef, with his usual fat pink cheeks and red nose. In the kitchen we also found Dorothy Hoover, Sarah Katz, Mary Louise Hyde, Georgia Beuehel and Lorraine Fisher washing dishes. We asked if we might help to dVy them (big-hearted us), but they declined, saying they’d rather hear all the news and scandal we knew. (From then on there was enough hot air from us to dry the dishes). The head waiter was Emil IlaudVich and on seeing Beatrice Briesacher as a waitress we almost knocked her heavily lad ' en tray out of her hands trying to give the old schoolmate a hand shake. With her were gobs of other friends who had applied for this job as waitress, as a mere excuse of a thrill. Some of them were: Opal McClane, Lorraine Morrison, Dorothy Lepper, Viola Lobsinger, Alice Klemrne, Henrietta Raetz, Bessie Rosenthal Ruth Rothgangel, Ruth Schipke, Lydia Tennehaum, Anita Veile, Ilortense Lonsdale. Remembering the depression of 1933, we asked Cliff how much these girls and boys were making during these prosperous times; he said they had just begun and their wages weren’t as high as they would be in the future, being $20.00 a day then. The next afternoon about 3 o’clock the group from Belleville gathered in the spacious hotel lobby so we could all start to Mars together; just as we were all preparing to leave who should holler “Wait for us’’ but Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz (the former Elsie Marie Baldus) and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Simon (the former Lenore Stephenson) and of course as one would expect they were late as usual. After we were all carried up to the roof of the Eifel Tower, there we saw the huge cannon that was to shoot us up to Mars (the only way possible to getthere). As it was a usual thing for us to be trans¬ ported this way to Mars, we were just a least bit excited. We, of course, wanted to go first and ' so we got our wish. We put on a device called a Llegara Mar, something like a parachute that was used in 1933, but it was especially constructed to convey people to Mars. The cannon shot us to the radius of Mars and then our LlegaraMars opened and the magnitude of Mars drew us swiftly there. As we drew near Mars everything was red, but what stood out was a cylinderieal device which reminded us of the Neon signs that we had in old Belleville in 1933. This of course was the Llegara-Mar landing field and the vacuum of this cylinder-shaped thing drew us down it gaping entrance, but as we descended our speed was decelrated and we landed on the blazing Mars standing up. We were met by a host of people who seemed so queer to us because each one was a different shade of pink, even to their clothing. Hastily we pulled out our compacts (we still used them) and discovered, to our disgust, that we, too, seemed to he blushing quite deeply (nothing unusual for us). Leroy Holt led the reception committee and Ruth Hartleb and Ruth Schifferdecker (still together), Nile Harper, Lorain Knefelkamp, Lavetne Lorenz, Harry Merkel, Paul Killing, Alex Morgan, Robot Bailey, Hubert Brie- —136— sacher, Laverne Adams and Vlir rinia Fellner all greeted iis with a typical Marical Sol ut a ter. We were greatly surprised to find so many of our Belle¬ ville schoolmates living at Mars. As we started toward the hotel, you don’t take taxies and so forth on Mars because on Mars one step willtake you two blocks, we noticed that all tlie buildings were some Geometric figures in honor of Professor K. G. Ilexter, the world’s greatest Mathematician, who was visiting the Universal Fair. Our hotel, Oampblight, being named after our great Chemist of B. T. If. S., was an octagon. The hotel manager was Fredrick Ileinzelman, who had grown a beard (it was red as was everything else at Mars) that touched the floor and indeed he was very dignified, much to our surprise. As we were expounding on all the classmates we had seen, Fritz told us that Philip Weber, who was now married to Audrey Robertson and had established a cunning home, was the Business Manager of the Universal Fair (“and ' indeed,’’ said Fritz, “lie now remembers to put a stamp on letters before mailing them”); Dorothy Gordon was the Secretary and Treasurer; and Marian Weidman, who bad done such magnificent work on the 1933 Bellevinois, had been the architect for all the buildings at the Universal Fair. Coming into the hotel lobby whom should we meet but Adell Kaufhold, Mildred Florrcich, Lillian Zerban, Ethel Tiemann. Mildred Schmitz, Lenos Haentzler, all who had reached Mars the day before. After a good rest, the next morning the Belleville group met in the lobby and decided ' to register for the Universal Fair and who do you think was in charge of the registration? —Mr. and Mrs. Hough. Ruth Schmidt was the same old hilarious Ruth and she and Bill were still enamored. As we bounced from one building to ;irti- other of the Fair, we finally came to the building of Fine Arts and there we discovered a book published by E. G. Ilexter (it was quite the Xerts). Oh— and there at the head of the list we found a copy of the 1933 Bellevinois as the best book ever published (where we proud?) and also we saw the World’s largest Newspaper edited by Margaret Ileinecke, who had proven herselt efficient at B. T. II. S., and Hose Mary Karr, the Managing Editor, who was capable of managing everyone and everything. About 5 o’clock we returned to the ( ' arnpblight and received a television call from Jane Ellen Rogers. She looked as sweet as ever and her golden voice really was music to our ears. She told us that sin was giving a banquet in her palacial pentogon in our honor and was having all our classmates and the King of Mars. “Who is the King,” we asked. “Just wait.” The next evening as we entered Jane Ellen’s salon, we were met by Mr. Schmidt. You see, since he was always so high-minded, lie finally reached his ambition and was King of the most elevated people in the World and) besides, all the people we have mentioned before, there was also Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Lindow, former Virginia Muendlein; Mr. and Mrs. Jack Linster, former Ellen Sterling; Mr. and Mrs. William Otto Krause, the former Alice Sehanot. and her twin brother, Allen. We noticel Ann L ' ese wearing a creation of black rubber with inserts here and there of red shingles (you know Ann was always the best dressed girl at B. T. II. S.) We asked where she had gotten it and she told us it was the latest model of Thelma Millet, who had become Mars’ preconceiver of what to wear. We were also introduced to the World ' ’s Champion Ping Pongers, Robert McMillan and his cousin, Marjorie Wardrope. Toward the end of the hilarious evening we entered Jane Ellen’s cocktail room where we were served huge glasses of Malted Milks because curves were introduced by Thelma Millet (again). As we were leaving, we saw sitting in the corner, venerable Mr. Ilexter, who by this time had grown a long bob since hair grew marvelously well at Mars. Several days later, tired and weary, we were again shot through the can¬ non back to our maternal duties. Signed, Jane Lee Jones and Jean Boyd. We have progressed, haven’t we, Mr. Thorne? —137— 1935 Distinction Distinctive ideas in annuals are a prime factor in a successful book- of course service and quality can not be overlooked fhe sign of the trade mark means - Engraving Service Plus Close Co-operation between Staffand Annual Department.
