JAMES TRABUE, as an expression of our appreciation for his helpful work in all school activities and his inspiring service as the head of the Commercial Department and the Department of Social Science, we, the graduating class of 5, affec¬ tionately dedicate the Nineteenth Volume of the Bellevinois. CONTENTS CLASSES II ADMINISTRATION ATHLETICS ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVITIES HUMOR _ HISTORY of the CLASS of 35 |T is over. Our high school days arc behind us and it is with genuine pleasure that we look back upon the four years spent within this institution. Those years were short ones. Too short, but they have made an impression on our minds and have left lasting memories. We entered as green and silly freshmen, but as we pro¬ gressed. our childish ideas vanished and in their place came cul¬ ture and refinement. Our only regret is that it was impossible to be lordly Seniors for our entire high school career. So in our grand finals and last appearance in the commence¬ ment exercises, we shall say to the student body and to the faculty “So Long.” RICHARD DUNCK.

Woodrow Baltz HISTORY of the CLASS of ' 36 We, the Class of ' 36 are appearing before you once more, this time bearing the name of Refined Juniors. ' ' The inexperienced fields of progress of our Freshmen and Sophomore days are far beyond us. The higher we climb, the more we realize what our teachers and our school are trying to do for us. They are trying to equip us to earn our living and show us the way to a success. In our day. knowledge is within the reach of every one who has the spirit and determination to reach the top. We should find our place and aim to stand at the head of our occupations. With a firm resolution, let us aim at the sky” as our class motto suggests. Our Junior year is climaxed by the Junior Jamboree and the Junior-Senior Prom. MARGUERITE KUEHN ' 36 Page Twenty-six Alberter. Fred Fernau, Eugene Klotz, Lcnore Placek. Jerome Stein. Delmar Allison.

They helped us when our hours seemed darkest. With the foundation they help us build as Sophomores, we could go forward into our next succeeding years of study with new determination. They helped us lay the corner stone of our high school foundation toward graduation, so that in years to come we may build on that foundation that they so untiringly helped us to lay.

Charles Grant. Louis Payne. Annamae Ruhman HISTORY of the CLASS of ' 38 We Freshmen began at the bottom of the ladder hoping to reach the top. The first thing we did was to go to Headquarters, and get a card with a line of head-busting jolts that we were supposed to learn. On our first meeting, we were told of those funny little slips of paper called admits.” Soon after this we learned of the four classes. Freshman. Sophomore. Junior and Senior. We also found out that the Freshmen and Sophomores were not on very good terms. Our first day at school was a mixed up affair—everything was so different from the grade schools. After a few days of these trying trials, came the jolt of the month— monthly exams. Many of our parents were presented with small white cards which were sent through the mail. Thus go the dizzying months for Freshmen. One of the highlights of our career was t he Freshman program which was given on Hobo Day. A short play was presented which was written by able- bodied Freshies. Ruth Heely and Jean Loehrding. Here is some sage advice for the new recruits. If you want to get along, don ' t act like Sophomores and don ' t sass the teachers. Thus we travel on ever hoping to reach that goal of superiority—to be Seniors.

There is so much of hysteria and gush as a result of flightly conclusions that it be¬ hoves all schools to teach thinking based on facts, ample and in logical patterns, divested of cant and supported by candor. We must adopt the scientific method of thought which seeks for facts, ample or complete and therefrom hope to find probable projections for our future actions rather than to depend on dog¬ matic statements, platforms, or the traditional opinions of the p ast. The welfare of all citizens of our beloved country, irrespective of creed, party, or economic level, unwavering loyalty to our form of government and the constitution that supports it. must be the goal of our education and the thinking of the on-coming generation now in the schools of the land.

THE ART DEPARTMENT Comparatively few of us could produce great creative art: many of us could not even become successful commercial artists or designers. Yet every normal person, consciously or unconsciously is a consumer of art and therefore should at least be given the background necessary for intelligent appreciation and the selection of appropriate everyday articles. The four year art course at B. T. H. S. is designed to meet the needs of the average student who is and will continue to be a consumer of art. as well as to provide a basis on which the talented few may specialize. In order to accomplish these aims, a background of design is built up and applied to a wide variety of media, such as water color, tempera, char¬ coal, pen and ink, metals, clay, plaster, leather, and papier machc. Among home decoration, jewelry, and commercial art with minor additional problems in such crafts as block print¬ ing, carving, modeling and weaving. THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT The aim of the Music Department is to develop an ap¬ preciation for the aesthetic and to give as many students as desire an understanding of rhe basic elements that make up good music. The courses that are offered in this department are theory, harmony, history of music and music appreciation. In ap¬ plied music, instruction is given in the woodwind, brass, string and piano. Edwin H. Peters directs the band, orchestra, clarinet and saxophone quartettes. Besides playing at all of the home football games, the band took part in many parades and civic functions. The band played several assembly programs and also presented a successful concert on the night of March 15. featuring four of its members as soloists and also the clarinet and saxo¬ phone quartettes. At the Southwestern Illinois Solo Contest held in Ed wardsville. March 30. the band soloists made a fine showing, thirteen placing first, fifteen placing second and four winning third place honors. The Belleville Township High School Band tied Centralia for first place in the Southwestern Illi¬ nois Band Contest, held at Edwardsville. April 11 and 12. Thirty-four bands competed in the contest. The orchestra has given several programs during the year, including the Operetta Score ' An Old Spanish Custom Page Thirty-six THE BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT The Biology Department offers courses in biology, botany and zoology. The course in biology is required of all Freshmen, while botany is an elective to Sophomores and zoology to Juniors and Seniors. Each course extends through¬ out the year. These biological subjects arc of great cultural value as well as of wide practical application. There is no person who does not come in contact with them daily in some of their phases.

Our furniture, our food, our clothing are largely of a biological nature. Our gardens, our lawns, our orchards, our field crops, our industries and our health are indispensable adjuncts of everyday life. Not only do they possess cultural and aesthetic values, but at the same time they represent much wealth. So significant and universal are the applications of biology in education and life that a study of these great branches of science has unusual educational importance. F. J. FRIEDLI, B. S.. M. S.

First, to give the students a fundamental vocational training that will enable them to enter the commercial pursuits to support themselves accord ing to a good standard of living. Secondly, to give the students the social and economic background to develop a knowledge of social conditions and needs, a consciousness of belonging to a cooperative society, and a sense of responsi¬ bility to that society.

The vocational work is as follows: two semesters of General Business training: eight semesters of secretarial studies, including Office Practice and Advanced Transcript; five semesters of bookkeeping including Cost Accounting and Bank Accounting; two semesters of fundamental business arithmetic; one semester each of Salesmanship and Advertising. The social sciences offered include one semester s work in each of the following subjects. Commercial Geography. Com¬ mercial Law. Economics and Sociology. Page Thirty-eight THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT The importance of speaking one s native tongue is so evi¬ dent that the number of English credits necessary for gradua¬ tion is greater than for any other subject. Not only local agencies but the state law and boards for college entrance have set the requirement at four units. The English courses have three aspects: reading, writing, and speaking. The aim in reading is to teach comprehension and appreciation of literature. Special reports are made, both H. W. DEY. A. B.

THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT To understand the present and to be able to predict the future, we must know something about the past. Then only is true appreciation of human progress made a reality. To this end the state department has recently increased the requirements for graduation to two full years. This department has made every attempt to keep up-to- date. To accomplish this, several sets of fine wall maps arc now to be found in every room, as well as much supple¬ mentary reading material. Every effort is being made to make the work interesting to the students and helpful to them in later life. Increased enrollment in this department has been as rapid as the growth of our school. At present the classes are all large, and an enlarged department to take care of its ever increasing enrollment has become a necessity. Page Forty THE MODERN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT The department offers at present comprehensive courses in the principal modern languages having definite values as purely High School courses as well as foundation work to the study of languages in University work. German and French are offered as two-year courses each in Freshman year. These languages have a very direct value in scientific studies and are recommended for students who desire to enter broader scien¬ tific fields, such as medicine and engineering. The German and French must be followed for two consecutive years and no credit can be given for any semesters less than four. Spanish is offered as a two year course in the Junior year and has the same credit requirements. As a commercial value, Spanish is outstanding and with our trade expansion will prove a valuable asset. The subject matter of all the modern languages is pleasing and interesting, affording the student an opportunity not only to learn to read, write, and speak the language chosen, but also to receive a better understanding of the people whose languages is being studied. The historical background, as well as the customs are valuable material for the student. I he teaching staff of the Modern Language Department is well qualified to give this background as all have either lived in those countries or have visited them. A speaking knowledge is thus able to be taught. Correspondence with natives are secured and clubs in any one of the languages will gladly be formed. THE LATIN DEPARTMENT Latin is the one language in the curriculum of the Belle¬ ville Township High School in which a student can offer a major as a University entrance requirement. Four years of Latin arc taught in our school. In the first year the student lays the foundation for the future study of the language by learning forms and fundamental principles of grammar. Also in the first year some time is devoted to the translation into English of short lessons based on events of Roman history. Julius Caesar s life and his commentaries on the Gallic war form the basis of study in the second year. Roman cus¬ toms. religion, history up to 44 B. C. are studied in detail. The third year is spent in translating Cicero s works and in studying this great orator ' s life. Translation of sentences into Latin forms an important part of this year ' s work. The fourth year finds the student prepared to follow Aeneas on his seven-year voyage prepared to read in the original the immortal epic which has been the source and model for so many writers since Virgil’s time. In the Latin Club, which meets once a month, vocabulary, customs, forms are studied more informally than in the class room. In the club these essentials are studied by means of card games, cross-word puzzles, informal discussion, and short plays. MARGUERITE SKAAR. A. B.

THE DEPARTMENT Mathematics as it should be taught in High Schools is both useful and necessary as a preparation for acquiring other use ful knowledge and as a helpful daily tool in most life situa tions. Arithmetic problems need but brief explanations or comment. They are conspiciously social: they are industrial, economic, governmental and scientific. In today’s language, mathematics is a core-subject. Though its field may be condensed to the electron or ex¬ panded to the cosmos, mathematics humbles itself to clarify, systematize and perhaps measure nearly all human affairs. Its problem material contains budgets, balance sheets, and manifold percentage applications, such as interest, stocks. OF MATHEMATICS bonds, taxes, insurance and annuities. Graphs depict vividly all types of statistics. These curves even share with the theory of probability the role of prophesy. How can chemis¬ try or physics be studied without formulas, equations or graphs? How any educated person in this age of science can possibly overlook the role mathematics has played, and is playing in the progress of our civilization is beyond compre hension. The Department of Mathematics offers an eight semester course as follows: Elementary Algebra I and II; Plane Geometry III and IV: Advanced Algebra V: Solid Geometry VI; Trigonometry VII; and College Algebra VIII. THE PHYSICAL SCIENCES One-year courses in physiography, chemistry and physics are offered to the students of the High School. Physiography is open to students of the second year. Prac lical questions in meteorology together with the study of the minerals of the vicinity are taken up and discussed. This course has proven very popular and has been limited to second-year students. Students in their third year may take chemistry. One year of algebra is a minimum requirement for those who would study this subject. The work consists of recitation and laboratory work dealing with the principal elements and their compounds. Not only arc the underlying principles and laws studied, but frequent references are made to their practical every-day applications. The course is not only college pre¬ paratory. but also cultural. Physics is open to students of the fourth year. A credit in algebra and geometry is a prerequisite. The aim of the course is to give the student an understanding of the under¬ lying principles of physics, and their application to life in modern times. The laboratories for all three of the physical sciences are well-equipped and make for an unusually high grade of work. Page Forty-two HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics Department is composed of three courses: Food. Clothing and Homemaking. Miss Phyllis Alexander has charge of the Foods and Homemaking classes and Miss Clara B. Neubauer of the Clothing classes. Two semesters of Foods, two semesters of Homemaking and four semesters of Clothing are now offered in these courses. The two semesters of Foods consist of a study of break¬ fasts. luncheons and dinners. The main topics taught in homemaking are childcare and training, interior decoration, home nursing and wise spending. THE AGRICULTURE The aim of vocational agriculture is to prepare boys for the work on the farm. The vocational law sets up certain requirements for the local schools, which in agriculture are sane and practical. Each boy enrolled must carry on six months of farm practice under the supervision and instruction of the teacher of agriculture. Work is done, records are kept, studies are made and instruction is given, both in school and out. based upon the project. THE INDUSTRIAL The Industrial Arts Department offers two and one-half years of mechanical and architectural drawing, two and one- half years of wood work, including pattern making, two years of machine (metal) shops, and two years of auto mechanics. Students majoring in Industrial Arts courses will be re- DEPARTMENT The first two semesters of Clothing are planned to give the girls the fundamentals of sewing. In the third semester, more difficult garments are made and the selection of garments studied more carefully. In Clothing IV. each girl makes a foundation pattern in muslin from which she is taught to construct and fit various patterns and make one garment from one of these patterns. A study of historic costumes in rela¬ tion to modern costumes is also included in this course. The above courses are planned as a foundation for future problems. DEPARTMENT This department has a room equipped primarily for in struction in agriculture.

Physical training in the High School gives the pupil the opportunity to indulge in self-satisfying, interesting activities, which will develop organic vigor and motor control. It plays a large part in the development of the pupil as a social being and gives ample opportunity for the development of leadership, cooperation and sportsmanship. An adequate knowledge of body structure is necessary to a complete under¬ standing of exercise, its reasons and effects, and for the for¬ mation of good health habits. The desire to indulge in some kind of physical stunts is inherent in most people, but this desire must be directed into the proper channels. In some cases, however, it is necessary to overcome a certain amount of physical lassitude and timidness to create an interest in play and physical activities DEPARTMENT student who has the consent of the Principal and the Librar¬ ian may enroll. These students become library assistants who attend to the circulation of books and magazines, check at¬ tendance. and help students less familiar with the library. They learn to use the card catalog. World Almanac, diction¬ aries. and other ready reference books.

In securing this interest, such pupils are given every opportunity to achieve a certain degree of success in physical activity. Yearly physical and medical examinations are given to every pupil, and he is shown the value of such periodic examina¬ tions so that he will willingly continue the practice. These examinations are placed at the beginning of the Sophomore. Junior and Senior years. Classes are organized into sections and section leaders are appointed. Leadership is developed not only in the section leaders, but within the sections by giving the pupils op¬ portunities to handle groups in activities and games and perform such duties as may fall within their abilities and capacities.

Al¬ though the Devils won only three tilts throughout the campaign and tied on two other occasions, their only margin of defeat was by a single touchdown. His team, which was one of the heaviest in years, has enough men returning to form the nucleus of a strong 19 5 eleven. Page Forty-six FOOTBALL SQUAD PERSONNEL RUSSELL HOEHN—Tackle Age. 17; Height. 5 Ft. 11 In.; Weight. 185 Chick loved his hamburgers, but that did not affect his playing. His weight will be a big asset to next year ' s team. SYLVESTER GEOLAT—Halfback Age, 18; Height, 5 Ft. 10 In.; Weight. 167 Fat was one of the best ball carriers Gundy had. He could squirm and twist for many an added yard, a trait that will be greatly accepted next year. He was elected co-captain for 1955. FRED ALBERTER—End Age, 19; Height. 6 Ft. 1 In.; Weight. 165 Betz ' s height was a great asset to the team. It aided him in snarring those shovel passes over the line. He is another returning letterman JOSEPH BECKER—Guard Age. 17; Height. 5 Ft. 10 In.; Weight, 163 Bud played both guard and center in 19 34 and was efficient in both. His position for next year will most likely be limited to center. IRVIN BRIESACHER—Guard Age. 18; Height. 5 Ft. 11 In.; Weight. 144 Although he didn ' t start the season as a regular, when he did break in he landed a steady job through his hard fighting. He was the only Maroon who could get as high a place on the second all star team. FOOTBALL Page Forty-seven FOOTBALL RALPH HEISLER—Halfback Age. 18: Height. 5 Ft. 10 In.: Weight. 155 “Scoop” will be remembered for that intercepted pass and dash of 82 yards which put the pigskin in a scoring position and enabled the Maroons to tie the Happy Warriors of Granite City. FARREL PATTERSON—Center Age. 18: Height. 5 Ft. 9 In.: Weight. 164 Pat was the snapper-back of Gundy’s 19 4 eleven. Since he has graduated, his name will be missing from next year’s lineup. RALPH McKELVEY- -Fullback Age. 17; Height. 5 Ft. 10 In.: Weight. 180 Mac. who was shifted from a tackle berth to a fullback when the Maroons backfield be¬ came crippled, was one of the hardest line buckers of the conference. I or this reason he received honorable mention in the all-star selections. His deadly tackling was another cause of his being elected co-captain for the 19 5 Team. TED BAER—End Age. 17: Height. 5 Ft. 10 In.: Weight. 140 “Snozzola Red ' was one of the Maroon wingmen. He was light, but that did not lessen his spirit, which will be lost by graduation. WOODROW BALTZ—Tackle Age. 17; Height. 5 Ft. 11 In.: Weight. 144 “Woody’’ came through a little quicker than did his brother Wilson and so got into more games. He played the same steady brand of ball all through the season. Both will be back next year.

ARTHUR LONDE—Halfback Age. 18; Height. 5 Ft. 10 4 In.; Weight, 151 Art was only a reserve halfback but his pass catching ability more than once helped the Maroons to advance. He has finished his high school career. WILSON BALTZ—End Age. 17; Height, 5 Ft. 10 In.; Weight. 140 Wilson showed of what he was made in the Collinsville game. While the rest of the team seemed to be in a trance, the scrappy twin was playing the game of his life. WARREN BIEN—End Age. 18: Height. 5 Ft.. 9 In.; Weight. 140 Bien earned his letter in his fourth year through his play as reserve wingman. Although he lacked weight he was a capable man to fill in for Knefelkamp or Alberter. FOOTBALL 160569 Page Forty-nine FOOTBALL COLLINSVILLE 7—BELLEVILLE 0 Coach Edgar Gunderson s Maroons made a pitiful showing against Mentor Strucks Kahoks at Collinsville when they were defeated. 7 to 0. The Kahoks counted the lone touchdown early in the fourth quarter after a pass by Captain Ralph McKelvey was intercepted on Collinsville’s own 26-yard line The Maroons never made a serious scoring threat and Collinsville never had the ball close to Belleville’s zero stripe before the touchdown was scored. Belleville’s line could not make many holes for McKelvey and Geolat. and the ball carrying and blocking of the absent Capone was missed. However. Wilson Baltz. tackle and Ed Knefel- kamp. end. played good football for the Maroons. BELLEVILLE 6—GRANITE CITY 6 An intercepted pass late in the second quarter gave the Maroons a 6 to 6 tie with the Granite City Steelworkers in their third league game. Both scores came in the first half with Granite City taking the lead in the first quarter. The Steelworkers took the lead after marching 46 yards to a touchdown, but the Maroons knotted the count late in the second quarter. With the ball on the Maroon’s 20-vard stripe. Granite tried a pass to Beeler, but Heisler. with a dash and a leap into the air. intercepted it on the ten and ran to the Warriors’ 8-yard line before being downed by the long-legged Beeler. Geolat picked up three yards and then two short passes were incomplete. On the next play Schlosser laid out on the sideline and took a pass in the end zone from Capone without interference. Capone s place kick for the extra point fell short of the mark and left the score knotted at 6-6. Granite threatened twice in the second half but the Maroon line stiffened on each occasion and stopped the drives on the two and nine yard lines. McKelvey. who was injured in the first quarter, played a good brand of ball during his stay in the game. Capone. Geolat. Schlosser. and Heisler also played well in the ball-toting depart¬ ment. Baer. Hoehn. Knefelkamp. Woodrow Baltz. Patterson, and Briesacher stood out on the forward wall. BELLEVILLE 6—MADISON 0 Marion Capone, chunky quarterback, led the Maroon gridders to a 6 to 0 victory over Madison and their first triumph in four starts in the newly formed Madison-St. Clair conference race. It was a thriller, climaxed by a Madison threat, which ended on the one-yard line in the final minutes of the contest. Charles Skinner, flashy halfback of the Hubtowners. featured in this great threat in which he alone carried the ball 60 of the 69-yard march. Skinner was injured and had to be taken from the game when they reached the 5-yard line. Capone starred throughout the game and proved to be the hero of the battle when he carried the pigskin for 70 yards in repeated thrusts at the line in the 80-yard touchdown drive in the second quarter. After taking the ball on their own 20-yard line and after Geolat had gained but a yard on an attempted end run. Capone then carried the ball seven times in succession, going mostly through Hoehn and Briesacher s side of the line. In these seven cracks at the line, the little senior gained a total of 60 yards for the greatest performance ever shown by a Maroon player this season. After Schlosser had made nine yards. Capone went over for the score. Outstanding players in the game included Capone. McKelvey and Geolat in the backfield. and Hoehn. Briesacher. Saeger. Woodrow Baltz. and Patterson on the line. WOOD RIVER 6—BELLEVILLE 0 Belleville’s third game of the season, and their second league tilt, was another heart-break¬ ing defeat suffered in the late stages of the game. A forward lateral pass in the last 90 seconds of play spelled doom for the local gridmen. Page Fifty Wood River took a Belleville punt in mid-field, and with the aid of a 20-yard pass, marched the ball down to the two-yard stripe. Knefelkamp was rushed in to take an end position, and on the next play Eddie broke through and spilled the ball carrier for a four-yard loss. Wood River tried a pass which was completed on the six -yard line, but the receiver was downed in his tracks and Belleville took possession of the ball. Geolat dropped back in the end zone and kicked to his own 40-yard line. It did not take the Oilers long to work the ball back to the 20-yard stripe where they tried the aforementioned forward-lateral pass play that resulted in victory, I he Maroon line looked good in spite of the fact that Patterson went out with a twisted ankle on the opening kick-off and McKelvey w ' as forced to retire in the fourth quarter. Capone stood out among the Maroon ball carriers with Geolat starring in the secondary defense. BELLEVILLE 14—EDWARDSVILLE 13 The fourth game on the schedule resulted in the first victory for the Maroons. The winning came at the expense of Edwardsville which had caused the dissolution of the South¬ western conference on charges of subsidizing athletes. Marion Capone s unerring toe gave his mates the all-important points after touchdown that spelled victory instead of defeat. Minus the services of four regulars, who were out with injuries, the team showed its fighting spirit by going out and playing its highly touted rival off its feet. Farrell Patterson. Ralph Heisler. John Schlosser and Howard Schwind were the regulars on the sidelines. T he Maroons’ ball-carriers displayed a hard running attack, and. when stopped, resorted to passes to continue their matches. Ralph McKelvey. who was shifted from tackle to the backfield to take the injured Schlosser’s place, hit the center of the Edwardsville line like a battering ram. ripping off gain after gain. Geolat and Capone also carried the ball for large gains to share the attacking spotlight. The line. too. was in there fighting all the time, making holes for the ball-carriers. Everyone starred in his partiduar position, with Eddie Knefelkamp and Bud Becker breaking up the passing attack staged by the Tigers in the final minutes of the game. Chick Hoehn was in there making his teeth-jarring tackles, while Harper, starting his first game as a Maroon guard, helped the line in holding down the opposition. Both Gunderson and Steve Kole placed iron men teams on the field. The only substitu¬ tion of the game was made in the last minute when an Edwardsville guard was replaced. BELLEVILLE 19—CATHEDRAL 0 Showing a great rushing attack with Captain McKelvey and Geolat starring behind good interference, the Maroons defeated the Blue and Gold of Cathedral. 19 to 0. before an estimated crowd of 3000 fans. The score was identical to the outcome of the city prep title game last year. The tilt, which took place on the afternoon of Saturday. November 10. was a great game to watch and was played under ideal weather conditions. Hard fought all the way, both teams showed plenty of fight and the tackling was vicious, but it was a clean game. It was about the hardest playing Belleville did all year. The Maroons, no doubt, were irked by the loss of the services of Marion Capone, who was declared ineligible the day before the game because he was past the age limit. The action against Capone was taken after an investigation following a complaint by the Cathedral school. Coach Gunderson’s eleven scored a touchdown in each the second, third and fourth quarters and converted the extra point on the final six-pointer to account for the 19 points. The Devils outclassed Cathedral in every phase of the game except in passing. However, it was Heisler who tossed and Londe who completed the longest pass of the game, a heave of 40 yards for a gain of 30. In rushing, the Maroons led 136 to 51 yards and in kicking Geolat outbooted Hasenstab. their respective averages being 35 and 29 yards. Besides Geolat and McKelvey. Heisler also starred in the backfield. The linemen who stood out were Briesacher. Becker. Knefelkamp and Wilson Baltz. FOOTBALL Page Fifty-one FOOTBALL EAST ST. LOUIS 6—BELLEVILLE 0 Scoring the lone touchdown in the first quarter, the favored Hast St. Louis High School eleven defeated Belleville Township High 6 to 0 before an enthusiastic Thanksgiving Day crowd of 3000. Rushing the ball 59 yards back up the field, after receiving a quick kick, it was third down and six yards to go for the Flyers on the 24-yard line. Then the Flyers caught the Maroons ' secondary off guard, completing a long 30-yard pass in the end zone which proved to be all that was needed to win the game. East St. Louis deserved its victory. The Flyers outgained the Maroons, making nine first downs to Belleville ' s six. while the teams were totaling 188 and 62 yards, respectively, on rushing. But despite all the ground gaining advantage of the Flyers, despite all their great manpower and their marked superiority in the ball carrying departme nt, they needed a break in the Maroon s defense to gain a decision over Edgar Gunderson’s courageous band of warriors. With the fourth and final canto opening, the Maroons essayed to resort to the forward pass in an effort to pull the game out of the fire, and in this respect nearly succeeded when a long pass by Heisler was too far for Londe. who would have been loose to a touchdown. Only twice in the entire game did the Maroons invade enemy territory, getting only to the 46 and 44-yard lines on passes in the fourth period. The game, played on a slow and slightly muddy field, was a thrilling contest with victory gained by the narrowest of margins and the Maroons, in defeat, can find consolation in having held the Flyers to one touchdown. BELLEVILLE 6—KIRKWOOD 6 Sylvester (Fat) Geolat. slipping and sliding over the water-soaked turf, gave the Belleville Maroons a 6-6 tie with Kirkwood of the St. Louis County League in the season’s inaugural. The game was played amid a downpour which lasted the final three quarters. The Belleville eleven started its successful touch down march about the middle of the third quarter. The Maroons took the ball on their own 20-yard line on a kick over the zero stripe by Peeples. From then on Geolat and Capone alternated in making big gains, taking the ball to Kirkwood ' s 20-yard line in eight plays. Here the Maroon line opened a big hole on the left side and Geolat went through, evading two backs, for a touchdown. Midway in the first quarter. Peeples, star of the Kirkwood team and one of the best backs in the St. Louis County League, went through the line weaving and side-stepping from the 35-yard stripe for a touchdown to put the visitors in t he lead. Penalties were the cause of many anxious moments and a big sigh of relief for the local fans. With the ball back on their own 10-yard line, partly due to penalties. Geolat s punt was blocked and recovered by Kirkwood on the 15-yard line. Peeples tried an off-tackle play, but when hit hard by Hoehn. Patterson and Baer, he started swinging and was ejected from the game, receiving a 45-yard penalty which was increased to 60 when the coach walked out on the field. Geolat and Capone starred on the offense while McKelvey. Schwind. Hoehn and Patterson were the outstanding linemen. ALTON 7—BELLEVILLE 0 The Maroons got off to a bad start in the Southwestern Conference football race when they were overpowered by the Alton Redbirds, 7 to 0. Alton scored its touchdown late in the fourth quarter on somewhat of a break. With the ball on Belleville’s 1 2-yard line. Ashlock dropped back and tossed a pass over toward the east sideline. Ralph Heisler jumped up and tipped the ball into the waiting hands of Hippard as he came by and continued to run across the zero stripe. A line plunge was successful in adding the extra point. The only serious threat made by Belleville was in the last few minutes of the game. Un¬ leashing a passing attack, they took the ball from the center of the field to the Alton 20-yard line when the game ended. In this threat two passes were completed, each for 15 yards, the first was from Syl. Geolat to Eddie Knefelkamp. and the second was from Marion Capone to John Schlosser. Before another play could be made the game ended. Capone and Geolat again stood out in the backfield. while Hoehn. Patterson and McKelvey were the defensive stars.

J. Friedli was well satisfied with the 21 to 14 victory of his inexperienced Maroon and Whites over New Athens High in their season’s inaugural. Dan Duncan, appointed captain before the game, led in the Belleville scoring with three buckets from the field, while Art Schmidt and Ken Luke closely followed with five counters each. NOV. 17—BELLEVILLE 8. MAR1SSA 21 Showing a great improvement over their work in the season opener, the Red Devils out¬ classed the Marissa High quintet at Marissa by a score of 3 8 to 21. Friedli started the same combination he did at New Athens except that this time Dick Dunck was acting as captain, and he came through with 1 1 points to lead in the attack. Luke was next high with ten tallies registered on five field goals. NOV. 23—BELLEVILLE 14. ALUMNI 9 In their first appearance before a Belleville crowd, the Maroon Devils, under the direction of Edgar Gunderson, who was taking the place of the absent Friedli. defeated the Alumni. 14 to 9. in an impressive manner. Minus the services of Dick Dunck. who accompanied Friedli on the trip to Champaign, and Art Schmidt, the Maroons threw up a strong defense to hold their rivals down. NOV. 24—BELLEVILLE 20. NEW BADEN 15 The Maroon hoopsters captured their fourth straight victory by trimming the giant Zebras of New r Baden High at the mining town by a score of 20 to 15. Jerry Geolat was again the outstanding defense man. holding his man scoreless through¬ out the game. DEC. 8—BELLEVILLE 21. NEW ATHENS 17 MASCOUTAH 19. BELLEVILLE 14 The Maroons made their first appearance of the season on the hardwood of the school gym with the regular cagers beating the New Athens quintet. 21 to 17. and the football men being shaded by the Mascoutah Redskins. 14 to 19. in a twin bill. DEC. 21—COLLINSVILLE 34. BELLEVILLE 8 The Maroon regulars lost their first game of the season after winning five in a row when they were soundly trounced by the strong Collinsville Kahoks. 8 to 34. at the local gym. The Devils were sadly off form, but had they been at their best, they would not have been good enough to beat the Kahoks. who seem to be headed toward another conference championship. DEC 28—CATHEDRAL 27. BELLEVILLE 18 In the first game of a series to decide the city prep championship, the Crusaders of Cathedral High defeated the Maroons on the latter’s court by a score of 28 to 17. A letup on the part of the Devils, coupled with the finding of their shooting eyes by the Blue and Gold. w’as largely responsible for the Maroon’s downfall in the second half. The Maroons w ' ere unable to penetrate the strong zone defense of the Cathedralites. Pag? Fifty-six DEC. 31— O ' FALLON 33. BELLEVILLE 27 Playing their worst game of the season to date, the Maroons rang out the old year by dropping a decision to the Panthers. 3 3 to 27. at O ' Fallon. The locals’ passing was poor and when they did get their hands on the ball they fumbled. O’Fallon. playing its fifth game in six days, showed the effects of their hard grind. JAN. 4—MADISON 30. BELLEVILLE 26 Belleville ' s fighting quintet suffered its second straight Madison-St. Clair Conference set¬ back and its fourth loss in a row when it weakened in the late stages of the game with the Trojans at Madison to lose. 26 to 30. Coach F. J. Friedli’s revamped battlefront played one of the Maroons ' best games of this still young season, their main fault being that they worked too fast. JAN. 5—BELLEVILLE 31, FREEBURG 15 Led by Dick Dunck. stellar Maroon forward, the Red Devils snapped out of their lethargy and ended their four-game losing streak with an overwhelming 31 to 15 triumph over the Frecburg Midgets at the B. T. H. S. gym. JAN. 12—BELLEVILLE 18. NEW BADEN 16 In a fast and furious last two minutes of a game on the local floor, the Maroons nosed out New Baden of the Cahokia Conference by a score of 1 8 to 16. Greatly missing the services of Dunck. who suffered a broken thumb in practice last week. Friedli’s men played a very loose game, and although they never trailed until the final minute of play, the score on several occasions was knotted. JAN. 18—BELLEVILLE 20. ALTON 13 Belleville scored its first conference victory Jan. 18 by defeating Alton on the Maroons ' hardwood. 20 to 13. Playing a slow game, neither team showed a very fast breaking offense. The game was close all the way up to the final quarter when the Maroons staged a scoring spurt to win handily. JAN. 19—GRANITE CITY 42. BELLEVILLE 21 Belleville ' s string of three straight victories was broken by Granite City when the Warriors trounced the Maroons at the steel center. 42 to 21. JAN. 25—WOOD RIVER 23. BELLEVILLE 16 The Devils lost their fourth conference game to the Wood River Oilers at Belleville by a score of 16 to 2 3 in anything but an auspicious cage demonstration. Ken Luke did most of the scoring for Belleville, counting 12 of his team’s 16 markers on six field buckets. JAN. 26—BELLEVILLE 20. MASCOUTAH 9 With Luke getting hot for the second straight night, the Maroons romped off with an easily gotten 20 to 9 victory over the Mascoutah Redskins at Mascoutah. The win was their ninth in 1 5 starts. Luke counted all but three of his team’s tallies BASKETBALL Pag Fifty-seven BASKETBALL FEB. 1—EAST ST. LOUIS 29. BELLEVILLE 15 Starting like a whirlwind, the Orange and Blue of East St. Louis ran up a total of twelve markers on six field goals during the first six minutes of play to give them a lead that enabled them to coast to an easy 29 to 15 victory. FEB. 2—COLLINSVILLE 48. BELLEVILLE 6 I he Maroons returned home from Collinsville mauled and battered after receiving probably the worst trouncing ever administered a Friedli coached team. Four of the six Belleville points were scored by reserves. Martin Duncan looping a bucket from the field and Werle and Lippert each counting a free throw. FEB. 8—MADISON 54. BELLEVILLE 22 The local basketeers dropped their fifth consecutive league game to the Madison Trojans on their own court by a score of 54 to 22. Martin Duncan, a new starting forward, stole the show for the Maroons by counting a trio of field goals and a quartet of free throws for ten points to lead in the Belleville attack. FEB. 9—BELLEVILLE 38. FREEBURG 37 The Maroons gained their tenth win in 19 games by shading the Midgets at Freeburg in one of the roughest and hardest fought games of the season. Four players were banished in the final quarter bringing the total for the game to four for Freeburg and two for Belleville. FEB. 15—ALTON 2 0. BELLEVILLE 16 It was the same old story as the Maroons went up to Alton and took the lead at the start only to lose it a few seconds later. The defeat dropped Belleville to undisputed possession of the cellar. FEB. 16—GRANITE CITY 35. BELLEVILLE 20 Belleville fought the league-leading Granite City Warriors on even terms for the first half, but the odds were too great, and after having knotted the score at 16-all in the first few minutes of the third quarter, their strength failed. FEB. 21—BELLEVILLE 23. CATHEDRAL 16 Township High defeated Cathedral in 32 minutes of rough and poor basketball on the Maroons court to tie up the city prep championship series at one victory each. The Tow ' nship High defense featured as the Cathedral cagers counted only four field goals which were shot by as many players. FEB. 22—WOODRIVER 17. BELLEVILLE 11 Thi s tilt at Woodrivcr was probably the slowest moving and the most lifeless game in which the Maroons participated all season. Both teams looked bad in all departments of the game; the passing was erratic, fumbles were frequent, and both quints were suffering from bad cases of missbasketitis. Page Fifty-eight MARCH 1—EAST ST. LOUIS 37. BELLEVILLE 25 The Maroons lost to the East Side Flyers in the final game of the Madison-St. Clair Conference cage race to end the season in the cellar. The diminutive Harold Werle snared the spotlight for the Devils through his hard fighting and all around play. He was tendered a great ovation by the large East Side crowd that packed the Lansdowne gymnasium as he left the fray in the final minutes. MARCH 2—O’FALLON 24. BELLEVILLE 22 When the game started it looked like the Maroons were in for a sound trouncing as Million and Warma collaborated in giving the Panthers a 9 to 2 lead for the first quarter. But then the Devils began hitting the basket and actually outplayed the Panthers during the rest of the tilt as they came within two points of knotting the count. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT The Maroons entered the tournament at Belleville with little expectations on the part of the fans that they would make any kind of a showing. They were expected to encounter trouble with Trenton in the first round but the Maroons won easily. 27 to 15. East St. Louis, one of the favorites, fell before New Baden in a 31 to 29 upset. Belleville romped over Red Bud. 39 to 12. in the quarter-finals and then surprised every¬ one by completely outclassing O’Fallon. 40 to 21. to earn the right to go to the sectional meet. Nothing could stop the sharp-eyed Maroons in this game but in the finals with Lebanon they went back to their old style of playing and were defeated by a score of 32 to 13. SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT Belleville was doomed by the experts to fall before the onslaught of Granite City in the Gillespie sectional opener, but the Maroons again pulled a surprise by beating the Warriors. 27 to 26. This result was all the more spectacular because Granite had won the conference championship and had twice before beaten Belleville by decisive scores, while the Maroons had ended the league race in the cellar. The semi-final game with Gillespie was the Maroons’ most nerve-racking and thrilling tilt ever played by a Township High team. Trailing 17 to 11 with but a few seconds more than a minute of play remaining. Jerry Geolat staged a one-man show that would equal almost any that have been recorded in the realm of sports. The big guard looped a pair of field buckets and a brace of charity shots in that short space of a minute, and then with the aid of Daley, he let go of a one-handed overhead side shot from the corner of the playing court that fell through the net and won the overtime game. 19 to 17. But that was the end. for in the finals against Hillsboro, the Maroons could not get going until the last half and so lost their chances to go to the state tourney. The final score was 33 to 25. Had the Devils started the game with the same pep with which they ended they would have beaten the Hillsboro quint. MARCH 19—BELLEVILLE 30. CATHEDRAL 18 The Maroons continued their dominance over Cathedral high school in the realm of sports when they captured the city prep championship by defeating the Crusaders. 30 to 18. in the third and deciding game of the series. Cathedral got the jump on the Maroons, but a few minutes before the half ended Town¬ ship High began locating the hoop and soon outdistanced the Crusaders.

Decker. Mgr. Taff. Hervatin. Oughton. Heisler. Schlosser. Old Jup Pluvius played havoc with Coach Friedli ' s baseball team. When time came around for the season s schedule to get under way, rain and cold weather still prevailed, and at press time, with the campaign well over the ha lf¬ way mark, the team had played only four games and three of these were registered as defeats. That is quite a contrast to the 17 victories and one reverse recorded by the 1934 nine in winning the right to claim the State Championship outside of Cook County. That team s lone setback was administered by Bloomington in the three-game championship series. Page Sixty BELLEVINOIS STAFF Husky. Luther. Miller. Ruhman. Dunck. Friedli. Shive. Weidmann. Blair.

The purpose of the club is to further interest in the dramatic arts. This is done by reading and studying plays and producing them. Such a procedure brings the students into contact with all phases of theater arts. To young people, of course, the most lasting benefits come from actual experience on the stage—so it is here that our club centers most of its efforts. This year The Senior Dramatic Club produced two plays. The first was the one-act play. “The Exchange.” which was given in General Assembly on February 6. The other was the three-act comedy. Skidding. ' ’ which was given to a somewhat small but very appreci¬ ative audience on Saturday night. April 27. The talent displayed in this play far excelled that found in the usual high school play. High praise for the acting and direction came from those who saw it. Fortunate indeed is the student who gets an opportunity to act on the stage, for in so doing he has a chance to give expression to his personality, to overcome his shyness, and to learn correct body rhythm, as well as to meet intellectually some of the great characters of the stage.

The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it—so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it. How many a man has thrown up his hands at a time when a little more effort, a little more patience, would have achieved success. As the tide goes clear out. so it comes clear in. In business, sometimes, prospects may seem darkest when really they are on the turn. A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure, may turn to a glorious success. There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no really unsurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose.
