She not only plans every meal that is served in the cafeteria, but faithfully works with the Prom Committee for the annual Prom dinner. She has won a place in the heart of every student be- cause of her genial disposition. Despite her long service she never fails to have a bright word and a cheery smile for everyone she meets. We present this as token of our appreciation for the work she has done to make our school a success. MAIN ENTRANCE OF THE AUDITCRIUM IN EARLY SPRING .av SE.- . A 1.4906-M x -. K., ff- .

Page QQ M Af' 'QCWZ7 DEPARTMENTS Page Q3 THE ENGLISH CURRICULUM ORENA FARMER lDepartment Headl The use of language is man's greatest distinction. The greater his ability to use it, the greater is his power of thought, his power to achieve, and his enjoyment of life. English is taught with these objectives. The curriculum is organized on the basic principle that experience is the best of all schools. As far as possible actual situations are pre'ented and studied in the classroom. Written work and speech are planned to parallel life situations. In general, composition aims first at finding something to say. This may be through observation, experience, or the use of magazines, newspapers, books, and other printed matter. Second, the need for saying or writing it should arise, and third, the ability to say it in clear, correct, and forceful English should be developed. The last should stimulate judg- ment, interpretation, and thinking. Composition should have personal and social implications. Grammar is taught as an aid to correct expression. ln general the aims of literature are concerned with the personality of the individual and with his relation to others. The first includes the ability to read, enjoy, and appraise literature both in the restricted and broad sense of the term, a habit of reading that will persist after the school years, and an ethical standard. The second includes the individual in his privqte and personal relationship, his responsibility to the state and the world at large, and his success in his occupation. Reading materials are given with a view to extensive reading and a consideration of individual differences. The English curriculum, besides the regular courses, has several that are specialized: English Vll, public speaking, English Vll, journalism, English Vlll, college preparatory composition. BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT F. J. FRlEDLl A lDepartment Headl The Biology department offers courses in biology, botany, and zoology. The course in biology is required of all freshmen and botany elective to sophomores and zoology to junionrs and seniors. Each course extends throughout the year. These biological subjects are 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. The home, the farm, the wayside, the wood, the lake, the stream, and even the air contain living materials which are both interesting and instructive. Our furniture, our food, 'our clothing are largely of a biological nature. Our gardens, our lawns, our field crops, our industries, and our health are indispenable adjuncts of every-day 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 applica- tions of biology in education and life that a study of these glreat branches of science has unusual importance. 76a B INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT H. R. BRILL lDepartment Headl The Industrial Arts Department offers three years' work in mechanical drawing, two years' work in machine shlops, three years' work in wood shops, one and one-half years' work in auto mechanics. The department as a whole has the following aims: to teach the work on a problem solving basis, to promote industry, cooperation and the worthy use of leisure time outside of school hours, recognition of value in buying and insight into allied trades and knowledge of trade products. The mechanical drawing section offers work in the fundamentals of draw- ing, lettering and sheet metal development in the first year. The third semester consists of machine design. Architectural fundamentals and design are taught during the fourth semester. The fifth semester consists of archi- tectural drawing, house plans, elevcition, and perspectives. The sixth semes- ter 'of drawing deals with planning and estimating. The wood shops offers beginning bench work the first semester, advanced bench work, turning, band saw, mortiser, tenoner and belt sander work the second semester. Beginning the spring semester of 1940, shop students will be required during the sophomore year to take machine shops of auto me- chanics ,which includes bent metal work, use of the drill press, power hack saw, lathe and -shaper work. During the junior year, shop students may choose between Wood Shops 5 and 6 and Machine Shops 5 and 6. Wlood Shops 5 consists of beginning mill work, Wood Shops 6, advanced mill work, Wood Shops 7, pattern mak- ing, and Wood Shops 8, shop foremanship. Machine shops 5 and 6 consists of advanced work on lathe, shaper, miller and planer. The difficulty of the work advances from one piece tools the first semester to small machines the fourth semester. One and one-half years' work is offered in auto mechanics, which includes a saudy of the construction, care, operation, and repair of the modern auto- mo ile. ART DEPARTMENT JEAN SNYDER The study of art is intended primarily to raise the standard of taste in the average pupil and to discover and develop talent in the gifted student. Design--the basis of any art-is taught through a variety of media: metals, wood, watercolor, pencil, charcoal, clay, plaster, leather, tempera. The art department now 'offers four courses: Introduction to Art, Draw- ing, Painting and Illustration, and Crafts. Introduction to Art is a prere- quisite to any of the other three. A student wishing to major in art may take a third year of advanced work in any course he chooses. Besides the regular class work the art classes design and paint scenery for some of the plays, design cuts for the sch'ool paper, and make posters and program covers for school functions. O O Page 24 -'sm WI- -ew, Page Q5 HOME ECONOMICS CLARA B. NEUBAUER lDepartment Headl The Home Economic courses offered in B. T. H. S. are planned to provide training in the various activities of home life needed as a foundation to good homemaking and an introduction to courses a student may be inter- ested in studying in college. Home Economics in our high schools and col- leges no longer consists of just cooking and sewing. lt provides courses needed to meet the growing demand in professional and commercial fields for Home Economics trained women as well as for the Home-making pro- fession. Foods I includes a study of the composition, selection and preparation of foods, planning and serving breakfasts and luncheons. Foods ll includes a study of food preservation, planning and serving din- ners, marketing and special diets in relation to health. Foods lll is a course in meal planning, table service, and etiquette. Foods IV is a course in dietetics and experimentation. Clothing I includes the study of the selection and care of sewing equip- ment, fundamental processes for all sewing, personal grooming, a study of fibers and qualities of materials, planning, selection and construction of simple undergarments and dresses, and care and repair of garments. Clothing II includes the study of design and color in relation to planning and selection of garments, simple tailoring, remodeling and construction of children's garments. Clothing III includes a study of principles of design in relation to dress, hygienic principles underlying dress, and the economic aspects of dress. Also included are: making of a handsiome garment or article for the home, selection of household tetxile articles, make over garments, afternoon and tailored garments. Clothing IV includes the study of pattern making and fitting, simple cos- tume designing, dyeing of materials, study of selection of furs, textile fab- rics and laces, study of problems in consumer and 'other current clothing and textile topics according to needs and interests of the class. The Homemaking V includes study of the home and family, home man- agement, study of wise expenditure of the income, relation of home to com- munity, child care and development. Homemaking VI includes planning and furnishing the home, care of the home, planning the wise use of time, health and care of sick in the home, education and training of little children, our responsibilties to all children. SOCIAL SCIENCE ALVIN NEBELSICK lDepartment Headi The social studies include those courses whose subject matter relates di- rectly to the organization and development of human society, and to man as a member of social groups. Their purpose is to enable us to realize what it means to live in society, and to appreciate how people have and do live together, and to understand the conditions so necessary to living together well, and that in the end we may all become better citizens. Web? MUSIC DEPARTMENT E. H. PETERS C. FRITZ Edwin H. Peters directs the band, orchestra, and instrumental quartets. The various quartets have brought State and National honors to our school by winning contests in their respective groups. Fifteen band and orchestra members took first place in the District Solo Contest held at Belleville, March 6. The band plays at all of the home football games, parades, picnics, and various civic functions. In addition to this the band competes in the Class A division of the Illinois School Band Contest, plays in assembly programs, and presents concerts. The band also sponsors a Military Ball each year. The orchestra presents several programs during the year. Several mem- bers are selected each year to play in the Illinois All-State Orchestra. Musical courses taught by Mr. Peters are: Music Appreciation, Harmony, Theory, and History of Music. The department presented a Musicale, December 15, which was a tre- mendous success. Miss Fritz teaches Vloice and Piano, directs the A Cappella Choir and the glee clubs, and trains the girls' sextet and boys' quartet. The A Cappella Choir, organized last year in our school, has sung in vari- ous churches, and for numerous clubs throughout the city, and gave a con- cert in the high school auditorium. This year's program included a radio broadcast and a program for the State D. A. R. Convention. The glee clubs have been very active this year. They participated in the Musicale which was given on December 1. Last November, ten members of the glee clubs were selected to sing in the All-State Chorus which met at the University of Illinois. On April 12, ninety-five of the glee club mem- bers sang in the Southwestern Illinois Choral Festival which was directed by Noble Cain, and held in Edwardsville. The sextet and quartet have filled many singing engagements throughout Belleville during the entire school year, having sung for churches, clubs, and civic affairs. This department presented 'on April 25 and 26, the operetta Hulda of HoIIand. The combined glee clubs and choir formed the singing chorus for this production. LIBRARY DEPARTMENT JESSELYN GRIEVE For a fundamental knowledge of the arts and sciences all of us depend largely upon books. The High School Library has over six thousand books and subscribes for forty-three periodicals. A course in Library Practice is offered each hour of the day. Any student who has the consent of the principal and, librarian may become a library assistant who attends to the circulation of books and magazines and assists those who are less familiar with the library. Pane Q6 1 in ni' -ew, Page 27 PHYSICAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT JOHN A. KARCH lDepartment Headl The purpose of this department is to introduce the students to the work- ings of the natural forces so that they may better appreciate the world in which they live. Physiography is offered during the second year. A well equipped labora- tory makes it possible to study the materials of the earth's crust, and the changes wrought by the forces of nature in forming the natural features of the surface of the earth. A study is also made of weather conditions, records being kept of temperature, barometric pressures, etc., including the condi- tions that lead to rainfall and even those that favor hurricanes. Chemistry may be taken during the Junior year. One year of algebra is a prerequisite. The science is taught so as to give a knowledge of the tech- nical language, the formulas, and the laboratory techniques 'of chemistry, thus giving a thorough preparation for those who may continue the study of chemistry in college. But for those who may not continue the study of chemistry, frequent reference is made to the services of chemistry to society through its contribution to health, agriculture and industry. s Physics is given during the Senior year. Algebra and plane geometry are required. A thorough and practical knowledge of the principles of simple machines, of optics, and of electricity is taught. The application of these principles so c'ommonly used in the homes today is stressed. With so much electrical apparatus in use, it would be quite an advantage for the home- maker to have a better understanding of the machines she is using. The laboratory is well equipped for this purpose. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT JAMES E. TRABUE lDepartment Headl The commercial Department is faced with a twofold responsibility in edu- cation, first, to offer the students a fundamental vocational training that will enable them to support themselves according 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 responsibility to that society. To fulfill these obligations a four year curriculum is planned in which vocational courses and social sciences are offered. The vocational work is as follows: two semesters of g-eneral business training, nine semesters of secretarial studies including office practice and advanced transcript, five semesters of bookkeeping including cost accounting and fundamental prin- ciples of auditing, two semesters of fundamental business arithmetic, one semester each of salesmanship, advertising, and business correspondence. The social sciences offered include one semester's work in each of the following subjects: Social Problems, Commercial Geography, Commercial Law, and Economics. 7238 MODERN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT H. A. KANZLER lDepartment Headl The Modern Language Department offers three years of French, two years of Spanish, and three years of German. In the first year, the fundamentals of the grammar of the language are emphasized, while in the second year, more time is given to reading. The primary aim of the course is to impart a reading knowledge, while the ability to speak and write the language is taught as a secondary aim. ln the French and Spanish classes, the new language, Literature, and Life series of texts is being used, which contains grammar, reading, and essays in English concerning the foreign country and its people. Personal corres- pondence is carried on in the advanced classes, with foreign students. In these ways, a third aim is fostered, that of imparting knowledge of the foreign country, past and present, and inspiring an interest in the life and characteristics of its people. ' AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT L. F. LENTZ 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 instructions 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. This department has a room equipped primarily for instruction in agricul- ture. It has a farm shop for teaching of farm mechanics. Farm Me- chanics work includes all of the unspecialized mechanical activities that should be done on the average farm such as farm woodwork, home conveni- ences, forge work, soldering, harness repair, rope work, and farm machinery. The school offers three years of agriculture-Jane of soils, crops and hor- ticulture, one in animal husbandry and a year in farm shops. PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT ALICE KIRCHER EDGAR GUNDERSON Physical education is the systematic development of bodily health. Par- ticularly significant to the success of the B. T. H. S. physical education pro- gram is the departmental division into boys' and girls' activities. This program is achieved by scientific supervision of exercises, sports, and rhythmic activities, all of which breeds a healthy mind and body, develops muscular coordination, physical grace, and tenders leadership and fair play. Yearly physical and medical examinations are given to every pupil, and he is shown the value of such periodic examinations so that he will willingly continue the practice. These examinations are placed at the beginning of the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years. Page 28 WW' -QW Page 29 LATIN DEPARTMENT PEARL JOHNSON lDepartment Headl The Latin Department of the Belleville Township High School offers a four-year course. ln the first year the fundamental and basic forms of the language are studied and practiced by means of sentences and short read- ing lessons which are based on events of Roman history. These readings lead up to Caesar's Commentaries in the second year. The third year is spent in translating Cicero's Orations and studying the history of therperiod of this orator's life. The fourth year is devoted to the reading of Virgil's Aeneid. Throughout the course one-fifth of the time is devoted to composition work. ln the Latin Club, which meets once a month, vocabulary, Roman customs, and grammatical forms are studied, but in the more informal manner by means of the cross-word puzzles, informal discussion, games, and short plays. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT E. G. HEXTER lDepartment Headi The place which mathematics should have in the educational program is to be determined by appraising the ways it assists in attaining the following objectives: the ability to think clearly, the ability to use information, con- cepts, and general principles, the ability to use fundamental skills, the development of desirable attitudes, and the development of interests and appreciation. lt is very essential to consider how mathematics has assisted in the development of our civilization and the extent to which we now depend upon it. So old are some of its uses and so deeply are they imbedded in our culture, that they are in danger of being taken for granted and forgotten. On the other hand, the subject is at present finding employment in new ways which may not have come to the attention 'of people not directly con- cerned with mathematics. The department of Mathematics offers a full four-year course as follows: Elementary Algebra l and ll, Plane Geometry lll and IV, Advanced Alge- bra V, Solid Geometry VI, Trigonometry Vll and College Algebra Vlll. 'KW' f W W ff N! j . 1 A M' ,If ! 1 AND NOW TURN WITH US TO FOLLOW THE STUDENTS THAT FILL OUR CLASSES. SENIORS, JUNIORS, SOPHOMORES, AND FRESHMEN ALL PUT TOGETHER TO MAKE UP OUR WONDERFUL SCHOOL. THE SENIORS WHO ARE NOW SAYING GOODBYE, TO FIND THEIR PLACE IN THE WORLD, WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE PLEASANT MEM- ORIES AND FRIENDSHIPS THEY MADE IN THEIR CLASSES. THOSE WHO REMAIN ARE ALREADY STORING UP THEIR DELIGHTFUL MEMORIES THAT THEY WILL CARRY WITH THEM FOR THE REST OF THEIR DAYS. ' x 72a gdleamcw HISTUIRY UF THE CLASS UF '4ll As we look back through these last four years, we recall memories that will perhaps make us smile and perhaps make us proud that we as individuals were a part of the class of 1940. We came here, Freshmen en masse, and year by year grew wiser, more helpful, and more appreciative of the opportunities were were enjoying by attending this school. The class, with the aid of a few of its outstanding members, has been successful in introducing the Student Council, hoping that it will live to aid the school and promote greater support for all school activities. This was a dream realized and one job well done. Our high school ambitions realized, we are now ready' to leave the counsel and encouragement of the faculty to start on greater work. To the school, the faculty, and the student body we say good-bye, but to ourselves it is just farewell.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY We Sophomores who are now finishing our second year of high school are much wiser that we were when we entered high school as Fresh- men. We elected Jimmy Harrison, presidentg Dan l-leely, vice-presidentg and Doris Jean Vernier, Secretary-treasurer. We have experienced and benefitted a great deal from these two years and know that we will always remember them. We feel honored to have had several mem- bers of our class nominated for the Citizenship Award. Several others have become prominent as good musicians and athletes.

'MDI'-A sa 1- Although the team did not make top honors this year, they won a place in the heart of every student for their courageous try. Tabe again proved himself to be one 'of the most able football coaches B.T.H.S. has ever had. f '-in . A meg BELLEVILLE, 19, SPARTA, o. The Maroon devils gained their first victory of the season by defeating Sparta 19 to O. Although Belleville won over Sparta there will have to be a great deal of changes before the next game. The Maroons' next game will be with Cleveland High School of St. Louis. Belleville scored in the first few minutes of play, Elmer Stonewall Jackson going through the right side of the line for the touchdown. Johnny Keck and Dick McKelvey were outstanding figures in the game. Keck ran 49 yards, then threw a touchdown pass to Jackson, who went over for the second tally. Keck then took the ball through the line for the extra point, but it was disallowed because Belleville was off-side. Dick McKelvey, freshman brother of Bob and Ralph, made his debut with a 15-yard run through the whole Sparta line. Seibel then added the extra point on a line plunge. BELLEVILLE, 7, CLEVELAND HIGH OF ST. LOUIS, O. The local eleven elevated their number of wins to twelve by defeating the Cleveland High School of St. Louis. Belleville was playing strictly a de- fensive game for the first two quarters and part of the third. They were waiting for a break, and finally got it. It looked as if the game would go down in the records as a O-O tie, but in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter Belleville was battling hard against defeat with the ball in their territory most of the time. Coach Tabor decided to send Groh into the game at right halfback. This is the point of the game where there was a noted change. Groln's long punts of the slippery ball drove the St. Louisans back from the Belleville goal and a few minutes later he sneaked out around Cleveland's right end and took a bullet pass from Johnny Keck. The right halfback spun through a couple of tacklers and crossed the goal line for the first, last, and only score of the game. The extra p'oint was added by McCord on a quarterback sneak. Little Stewy managed the team well and waited till he got a break before he took any chances. - BELLEVILLE, 12, EDWARDSVILLE, O. lt was due mostly to Jackson's alertness that the Belleville Maroons gained their twelve to nothing victory over Edwardsville. lt was the Maroon's thirteenth straight conference victory. There were some two thousand fans that turned 'out in spite of the weather to see the Maroons gain the com- manding position in the conference. Stonewall Jackson held the spotlight throughout the game. lt was he who started the game by kicking off and then racing down the field to re- cover a fumble that led to their first touchdown. Then, a little later, it was the same lad that leaped high into the air to intercept a pass that led to the second touchdown. After Jackson recovered the fumble on Edwardsville's 10-yard line, Belle- ville failed to gain the necessary yardage and the ball went to Edwardsville. An Edwardsville boy, then kicked to Groh, who carried the ball to the oppon- ent's 33-yard line. McCord gained a couple yards on a quarterback sneak and Johnny Keck passed to McCord, who went to the 18-yard line for a first down. Groh gained about five yards over right tackle. Keck also gained about four yards off right tackle. McCord circled around for a touchdown, receiving excellent blocking from Ogle., The second touchdown was brought about by the interception of a pass by Jackson on Edwardsville's Q0-yard line. Miller received a pass from McCord and crossed the goal line standing up. Page 62 M Page 63 BELLEVILLE, 20, GRANITE CITY, 7. The old tradition that Friday the 13th is unlucky did not hold good for the Maroons. After their thirteenth victory they came back and beat Gran- ite City by 13 points on Friday the 13th. . The Maroons' goal was crossed for the first time of the season only because Coach Tabor had mercy on a team that had already been beaten thrice and decided to use his second team, and part of his third. The Maroons scored all their points in the first half. After the kickoff, Granite punted to Groh on Belleville's 40. Groh returned the ball Q5 yards, but Belleville was then penalized 15 yards for clipping. McCord then tore off 16 yards through the middle of the line on a quarterback sneak. Follow- ijng this, the Maroons tacked up four first downs and 64 yards to a touch- own. The Maroons then made four straight first' downs totaling 54 yards for another touchdown. This time Groh went over left tackle for the score. Late in the second quarter, Welch reeled off a 12-yard gain, and Granite took the ball on its own 25-yard line. McCord then took the ball over from the two-yard line, and Ogle again plunged over for the extra point. At the beginning of the second half Granite backed Belleville into its own territory for the first time of the game. A fumble gave Granite the ball on Belleville's 14-yard line. After losing five yards on an end run, two passes by Granite put the ball over for a touchdown. Belleville made 16 first downs to six for Granite City with three of the latter being gained on penalties. In all, Belleville gained 234 yards to 57 BELLEVILLE, 14, MADISON, 0. Impression on critics was slight when Belleville beat Madison 14-O, a team that fell before East Side 43-O. Belleville made sixteen first downs to one for Madison. The Maroons scored with the game only a few minutes old. Ralph Groh slipped off left tackle to cross the line standing up. In the beginning 'of the second period Dick McKelvey got off to two nice runs but fumbled. Darel Welch had two dashes to his credit, one for 20 yards in the first period and another for 54 yards for a touchdown in the final frame. He was assisted in making the touchdown by the blocking provided for by Groh and McCord. A few minutes later Groh picked his way through a broken field to cross the Madison line only to be called back with a penalty of fif- teen yards against Belleville for clipping. Place kicks by Co-Captain Elmer Jackson accounted for both of Belle- ville's extra points. BELLEVILLE, 19, COLLINSVILLE, O. Coach Tabor's Township High Maroons stood all alone atop the South-- western Illinois Conference today after their 16th straight victory with Q4 wins in 26 starts. During the initial half the game could have been claimed by either one of the two teams. Each team had piled up two first downs. Belleville advanced to Collinsville's 18-yard line in the opening quarter and Collinsville had got- ten as far as Belleville's11-yard line. lt will probably never be known what miracle Coach Tabor worked during the half because when the Maroons came back in they started to click. Left halfback Keck took Collinsville's kickoff and ran it back 25 yards to Belle- ville's 41. Seven short plays later the Maroons got their first touchdown and the extra point. Following, came several outstanding plays in which Wild, Ogle, Sterling, McKelvey, and McCord starred. Belleville received 11 first downs to Col- linsville's 4, they also gained 186 yards from scrimmage to 28 gained by the Kahoks. for the visitors. .J xy. .X 1 .

It was a tough game for the Ma- roons to lose, in as much as it practically eliminated Belleville from the chance at the championship. At the close of the half the score read 7 to 7. Everyone expected Belle- ville to come back and hammer the Alton team to the ground with its 183- pound line, but instead the hill was too steep and Belleville crumbled under the force of the 161-p'ound line of the Hilltoppers. Both teams made an equal number of first downs. Belleville piled up 149 yards to Alton's 130 for scrimmage, also out-distancing Alton in the weapon that won the game for them, Belleville made 127 yards in the air to 94 yards for Alton. Alton, failing to gain following the kickoff, punted to midfield and Belle- ville was penalized 15 yards for clipping. On the third down Schwartz broke through and blocked a Belleville punt, the Hilltoppers recovering on Belle- ville's 32. A pass and lateral put the ball on Belleville's four-yard line. Alton's man went over for the touchdown and the extra point was also made. Early in the second quarter the Maroons got possession of the ball on their own 40-yard line. Plunges by Ogle and Keck netted a first down on Alton's 44-yard line. An incomplete pass lost six yards 'on an end run, but a pass from Ogle to Sterling, then a lateral to Keck was good for 29 yards. Ogle got through at right tackle, but McCord lost two at left end. McKelvey shot a pass to Keck which was good for a touchdown. Ogle hit right tackle for the extra point. Alton, in the second half, came through with two touchdowns and an extra point. They made both scores on aerials. After the first half Belle- ville failed to advance past midfieldj The touchdown and extra point in the second half brought the score to read, Belleville, 7, Alton 20. BELLEVILLE, 20, CATHEDRAL, O. The Maroons gained the city title due a great deal to the sparkling play- ing of Les Miller. Of the 8 passes intended for him, he gathered in 5 for a total of 42 yards. Miller and Creighton Cory played the whole game, inter- cepting two Cathedral passes and making many tackles. The initial Maroon score was made on the last play of the first quarter by fullback Ogle, to climax a steady 54-yard march which included three successive first and tens. Extra point being scored, the score read 7 to O at the end of the quarter. The second quarter was launched with four straight first and tens and a 53-yard drive to put the ball on Cathedral's six. Wild picked up two yards and Sanders followed with a gain of two and one-half yards. Sanders faked a pass to Ogle, turned, and tossed a flat pass to Miller for the score. Jack- s'on's place kick was good to make the score read 14 to O at the end of the half. Soon after the fourth quarter began, Dave Ogle accounted for the final six points as he plunged over center from the 4-yard line to end the quick return drive. Try for the extra point was wide. Page 69 BELLEVILLE, 21, WOODRIVER, O. The Maroons showed great advance in their aerial plays. lt may be said that Belleville beat the Oilers at their own game. They stood out in their aerial plays in which the Oilers were expected to be quite outstanding. Belle- ville completely outplayed Wo'odriver. The Maroons threw 22 passes and completed 11 for 183 yards, whereas, Woodriver tried 29 and completed only eight for a gain of 100 yards. Belleville chalked up nine first downs to seven for the Oilers. Miller and Ogle were most oustanding figures in the aerial game, although Johnny Keck and Jackson also made a good showing. Early in the first quarter Stew McCord broke through and blocked a Woodriver punt, the ball going to Belleville on the Woodriver 19. Belleville then lost the ball on downs to Woodriver. A bad pass from center sailing into the end zone gave Belleville a safety. ln the second quarter a pass from Ogle to Miller, who took it on the 10- yard line, counted for the second score of the game. Ogle failed to gain the extra point. ln the third quarter,Belleville'again scored on a pass from Ogle to Miller, who made the most spectacular catch of the season. The try for the extra point was not successful. In the final period Keck brought the ball back 38 yards in three attempts to the Woodriver 12. A lateral pass and several plunges by Ogle, carried the ball across for the third touchdown of the game. The extra point was made by Ogle. Belleville, 21, Woodriver, 0. i BELLEVILLE, O, EAST ST. LOUIS, 24. lt was a long, sad trip back to Belleville for the Maroon followers after the shut-out handed them by East St. Louis. lt was the first shut-out since the scoreless tie with Alton during the 1937 Conference. lt was the Maroons second setback of the season which resulted in their finishing third instead of second in the Conference. Stonewall Jackson played a grand game along with McCord who unfortunately was hurt during the game. lt was McCord who took the opening kickoff and ran the ball back from the 17 to his own 27. Wild then ran a total of 13 yards to give Belleville a first and ten, the only one for the Maroons in the opening quarter. As the first quarter drew to a close, East Side got off another good kick. Keck took the ball but slipped on the 8-yard line. Keck kicked to his own 34 and the ball was returned to the 18. A double reverse and lateral advanced East Side to the eight just as the first quarter ended. The second tally occurred in the second quarter. The Maroons made their deepest invasion in the third quarter. Jackson intercepted a pass and it was Belleville's ball on East Side's 38. Ogle went through the middle for five and then one. Ogle passed to Miller who later- aled to Keck for a total gain of 20 yards, putting the ball on the Flyer's 35. After being held to no gain on a plunge, Ogle attempted to pass, but was smothered by a twelve-yard loss which put on end to the lone Maroon threat. The last two touchdowns were scored during the last half of the fourth quarter. East Side's third touchdown was made by a 15-yard run around Belleville's left end. The fourth and final touchdown came right before the close of the game. . The four tries for the extra points were all bad. The Flyers well deserved their victory over the Maroons. They outplayed the Maroons all around on 'the slippery field. 7he B Runnin' Wild!! Hofd Everything! Here I comef I Your guess is as good cis mine. Catch him!!

The loss was said to be due to a pain in the side which proved to be a pain in the neck to Coach Tabor. Starman was holding Votrain, Lebanon's ace center, to a minimum when he got a pain in his side and was removed from the game. Votrain came through with several field goals and the Maroons met their first defeat. BELLEVILLE, 15, O'FALLON, 35. Belleville met its second defeat, this time at the hands of Coach Curtis Smith's powerful O'Fallon quintet. The Panthers held the lead throughout the game, Belleville came within two points of the Panthers at one point in the game. This was the closest point of the entire game. BELLEVILLE, 10, EDWARDSVILLE, 22. Edwardsville handed Belleville their third defeat only after a hard fight put up by the Maroons. The Maroons lost the third game but they showed great improvement over the preceding games. Tabor played only his regular five during the entire game. BELLEVILLE, 20, MARISSA, 37. Belleville stayed right on the heels 'of the visitors for the first half and part of the second half, but the Maroons took a beating in the last quarter. Belleville was considered lucky at holding the score under 50 points. Coach Frank Scotty Scott's strong Marissa quintet has lost one game and won seven. BELLEVILLE, 9, COLLINSVILLE, 55. The Maroons made only one field goal during the wh'ole contest with Collinsville. Dallape was in good form for the Kahoks. He is their ace shot who scores most of the points. There will probably be a shakeup in the lineup next week after a defeat like this. U BELLEVILLE, 16, WOODRIVER, 44. Belleville went down under the hard blows of the Woodriver Oilers for their third straight conference loss. , Tabor used ten players in attempting to find a winning combination. When the game was all totaled up, little Billy Sanders, veteran guard of the Maroons, had made all but two of the team's six field goals and three of their four successful free throws. Page 76 ba flfmeileen-Qcwfy Page 77 BELLEVILLE, 27, -EAST ST. LOUIS, 30. The Maroons met their ancient rivals last night, but were not quite lucky enough to cover a three-point lead in the final score. Madill Gartiser put new h'ope into the Maroon quintet by scoring six field goals and one free throw. Bill Sanders also played a spotless game by scor- ing five field goals and bringing his total to 24 in the last two games. This was the first game in which Belleville held the lead and a'so the most points scored in any game this season. These facts may show some signs that Belleville is on the up-grade. BELLEVILLE, 30, ALTON, 15. Belleville broke their losing streak by downing Alton 30-15. lt was their first victory 'of the season. They scored more points than in any previous game, holding their opponents to the smallest score of the season. They played good ball although they missed a few set-ups. Sanders scored 13 of the points made by the Maroons and raised his total to 37 in the last three games. This victory also raised Belleville out of the cellar and made Madison the undisputed champion of the downstairs region. BELLEVILLE, 22, GRANITE CITY, 27. The Maroons, who were showing steady improvement, nevertheless lost to Granite by a close score. At the end of the third quarter, Belleville was leading 19-17. Parsaghin sank three field goals from outside the foul line to send the Warriors to vic- tory and a tie for the conference lead. Tabor used seven men in the whole game. Sanders made most of the points for the Maroons. BELLEVILLE, 21, CATHEDRAL, 18. The Maroons nosed out Cathedral to gain the city title by a score of 21-18. Sanders was the center of interest as he led the Maroons in scoring and was all over the floor during the entire game. He pulled the game out of the fire and kept it there. The Maroons were ahead at the end of each quarter in spite of the close battle put up by the Crusaders. Tabor said that if it hadn't been for Sanders we would have lost by ten points. Tabor used seven men, with Sanders being high man with a total of ten points scored. BELLEVILLE, 37, MADISON, 25. Belleville won their second cage victory of the season by a 37-25 score. Billy Sanders again gave the fans a great exhibition as he scored 19 points. Sanders'wasn't the only star of the game. Ralph Groh, Madill Gartiser, Lawrence Starman and Junie Miller also played improved basketball. This was the second Conference win and Tabor was well pleased with the show- ing of the team. Wag BELLEVILLE, 16, EDWARDSVILLE, 29. Belleville lost another good player in Madill Gartiser, and also another conference game as they bowed to Edwardsville by a score of 29-16. The Maroons tried hard to raise their total wins to three, but could not Suite make it. The spirit and effort of the team stood out in 'spite of the e eat. Sanders again scored most of the points of the eight men usedlby Tabor. Herschel Wild will join the team for the next game which is with Woodriver. K BELLEVILLE, 20, WOODRIVER, 38. Belleville took a 38-20 beating last night under the power of the leading conference team, the Woodriver Oilers. Herschel Wild played his first game last night as he stepped into the shoes of Modill Gartiser who moved to Maplewood, Mo. Sanders scored 11 points, and there is a posssibility that he might set an all-time scoring mark for all Maroon cagers if he continues his pace. He has 83 points so far. BELLEVILLE, 19, COLLINSVILLE, 35. Belleville took it on the chin for the second defeat of the season from the Collinsville quintet. This was no shock to the fans, but the sudden drop of points made by Bill Sanders was a tragedy. Herschel Wild took the scoring spotlight for the Maroons as he scored eight points. This topped all other scoring of the evening for the Maroons. BELLEVILLE, 20, EAST ST. LOUIS, 22. The Maroons lost their cage game last night to the Flyers on free throws. The Maroons led the Flyers on field goals but fell behind, and consequently lost the game due to lack of points made by free throws. The two teams played clean basketball and made a very exciting game out of the tilt. Tabor used his regular five and two substitutes, while East St. Louis used only their regular five. BELLEVILLE, 24, ALTON, 21. The Maroons marked up another win for the 1939-1940 season by a score of 24-21. Sanders scored eleven of the twenty-four points piled up by the Maroons. Belleville had a total of ten field goals and four foul shot points, while Alton accumulated only seven field goals and seven foul shot points. Belleville still has one more conference game to play at home on its own floor in the 1939-1940 Southwestern Illinois Conference. Page -78 i L 5' M flfweiem-40457 Page 79 BELLEVILLE, 21, GRANITE CITY, 42. Belleville took a hard beating under the hand of the Granite City quintet. lt was the final league game which the Maroons played at home. The Gran- ite five came through finishing very fast with a 42-21 victory. There was a slight hope of victory for Belleville until Len Phillips, Granite's great guard swung into action and started sinking field goals from all parts of the court. Sanders again scored ten points, while Herzog and Wild were close behind with six and five points respectively. Tabor used nine men throughout the game to compare with a total of ten used by Granite City. BELLEVILLE, 30, O'FALLON, 42. The Maroons were defeated 42-30 at O'Fallon. Billy Sanders once more set the pace with Herschel Wild close behind. Tabor played seven men who scored a total of ten field goals and ten free throws. O'Fallon used eight men and scored 17 field goals and eight free throws. BELLEVILLE, 19, CATHEDRAL 13. Maroons defeated Cathedral to capture city basketball crown. lt was the second defeat of the season for the Crusaders. The game was a close affair although Belleville led at the end of each quarter. The whole Township team took an equal part in the scoring of their seven field goals and five free throws. There was an even number of men being used by each team, seven each. lt was the last game of the season for Cathedral. BELLEVILLE, 36, MADISON, 18. Maroons wound up the conference tied with our old foe, East St. Louis. Herschel Wild came through with eight field goals and a foul shot to score a total of 17 points for the Maroons. lt was an easy victory for the Ma- roons, and the -outlook is pretty bright for the tournament which starts next week. All of the nine men used by Tabor played a clean game. Madison failed to win a league game for the second year in a row. Town- ship triumphed over Madison while East St. Louis was defeated by Wood- river 20 to 10. Granite City and Woodriver tied for Conference Clrrampion- ship with 12 wins and 2 defeats each. Belleville and East St. Louis tied for fifth place with 4 wins and 10 defeats each. T Pi A C I4 3 , T UMC Lfhslus ll'l'-A' W ' M ,',,-V1.1 il by 4, . .
