PETERS—HOPE BAER (Heads of Department) Edwin H. Peters directs the band, orchestra, and instrumental quartets. The various quar¬ tets have brought State and National honors to our school by winning contests in their re¬ spective groups. The band plays at all of the home football games, parades, picnics, and various civic functions. In addition to this the band com¬ petes in the class A division of Illinois School Band Contest, in assembly programs, and presents concerts; the concert this year being on January 28. The band also spon¬ sored a Military Ball on April 24. The orchestra presents several programs during the year including the operetta score. Several members 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. Miss Baer teaches Voice and Piano, directs the A Capella Choir and the Glee Clubs, and trains the girls ' sextet and boys ' quartet. The A Cappela Choir has sung in various churches, and for numerous clubs throughout the city. This year ' s engagements included a program at the U. S. O. and for the Easter Sunrise Services at Valhalla Cemetery. The glee clubs have been very active this year. Eight members of the glee clubs and A Cappella Choir were selected to sing in the All-State Chorus which met at the University of Illinois. 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 December 5 the operetta, Hollywood Bound. The com¬ bined glee clubs and choir formed the singing chorus for this production. ART DEPARTMENT MARJORIE MURRAY (Head of Department) The study of art is intended primarily to raise the standard of taste in the average pu¬ pil and to discover and develop talent in the gifted student. Design—the basis of any art —is taught through a variety of media: met¬ als, wood, watercolor, pencil, charcoal, clay, plaster, leather, tempera. The art department offers courses as fol¬ lows: Introduction to Art I, Commercial De¬ sign II, Art in Everyday Life III, Crafts IV, Advanced Art V and VI. Introduction to Art is a prerequisite to the other courses. A stu¬ dent should follow courses in sequence if possible. Besides the regular class work, students design and paint scenery for some of the plays, make cuts for the school paper, and posters and program covers for school functions. Cld Man Winter covers the Main Building with a blanket of snow. Page 13 I P A HI M t N IS PHYSICAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT JOHN A. KARCH (Head of Department) The purpose of this department is to intro¬ duce the students to the workings of the natural forces so that they may better appre¬ ciate the world in which they live. Physiography is offered during the second year. A well equipped laboratory 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., in¬ cluding the conditions 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 knowl¬ edge of the teachnical 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. Physics is given during the Senior year. Algebra and plane geometry are required. A thorough and practical knowledge of the prin¬ ciples of simple machines, of optics, and of electricity is taught. The application of these principles so commonly used in the homes to¬ day is stressed. With so much electrical apparatus in use, it would be quite an ad¬ vantage for the home-maker to have a better understanding of the machines she is using. SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT ALVIN NEBELSICK (Head of Department) The Social Studies, involving Economic, Social and Political relationships, are so alive and growing, that it is hard to see how any¬ one can think of them as dead and dry. They are, in reality, a little more than a study of the present, explained in the terms of the past. They look forward, not backward; they are dynamic, not static. Out of the world of yesterday the world of today has grown; out of the world of today will come the world of tomorrow. It is impossible to understand our times without a knowledge of the conditions which brought them about; it is equally im¬ possible to make intelligent decisions for the future if we have only a meager understand¬ ing of the age in which we live. At least for a democracy, they are the most practical of all subjects, for in them the students learn the need for loyalty to the ideal that govern¬ ment of the people, for the people, and by the people shall not perish from the earth. One overstates but little to say that any democracy will function smoothly only in proportion as these subjects are well-taught and well-under¬ stood.

NEUBAUER (Head of Department) The Home Economics courses offered in B. T. H. S. are planned to provide training in the various activities of home life needed as a foundation in good homemaking. Home economics provides courses needed to meet the growing demand in commercial fields for trained women. Foods I includes a study of the composition, selection and preparation of foods, planning and serving breakfasts and luncheons. Foods II includes a study of food preserva- vation, planning and serving dinners, market¬ ing and special diets in relation to health. Foods III is a course in meal planning, table service, and etiquette. Foods IV is a study of foods in relation to health and well-being. Clothing I includes the selection and care of sewing equipment, processes for all sewing, personal grooming, a study of qualities of materials, construction and care of simple garments. Clothing II is a study of design and color in relation to the selection of gar¬ ments, tailoring, remodeling and construction of children ' s garments, and sports clothes. Clothing III is a review of principles of de¬ sign and color, hygienic principles, and the economic aspects of dress, and the study of historic costumes and their relation to modern dress. Clothing IV includes the practice of pattern making and fitting, costume design¬ ing, dyeing of materials, study of selection of furs and laces, consumer problems in selection of clothing, and textile fabrics. Current tex¬ tile topics and projects are chosen according to needs and ability of students in the class. Clothing V teaches students the qualities to look for in selection of household textile articles, such as rugs, curtains, draperies, table linens, etc. Homemaking V includes study of the home and family, home management, study of wise expenditure of the income. Homemaking VI includes planning and fur¬ nishing 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 responsibilities to all children. LIBRARY DEPARTMENT JESSELYN GRIEVE (Head of Department) For a fundamental knowledge of the arts and sciences all of us depend largely upon books. The High School Library has over seven thousand books and subscribes for fifty 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 be¬ come a library assistant who attends to the circulation of books and magazines and assists those who are less familiar with the library. No other trees on the campus know as many of the students ' secrets. Page 17 II [ P I II T M f  I AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT L. F. LENTZ (Head of Department) The aim of vocational agriculture is to pre¬ pare 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 pro¬ ject. This department has a room equipped pri¬ marily for instruction in agriculture. It has a farm shop for teaching of farm mechan¬ ics. Farm Mechanics work includes all of the unspecialized mechanical activities that should be done on the average farm such as farm woodwork, home conveniences, forge work, soldering, harness repair, rope work, and farm machinery. The school offers four years of agriculture —Soils, Crops, and Horticulture; Animal Hus¬ bandry, Farm Merchanics and Farm Manage¬ ment. The F. F. A. was and is designed to supple¬ ment training opportunities for boys who are progressing toward the goal of establishment in a farming business. Through the F. F. A. activities the cooperative spirit is fostered and individual talent is discovered and developed. LATIN DEPARTMENT PEARL JOHNSON (Head of Department) The Latin Department offers a four-year course. In the first year the fundamental and basic forms of the language are studied and practiced by means of sentences and short reading lessons which are based on events of Roman history. These readings led up to Caesar ' s Com¬ mentaries in the second year. The third year is spent in translating Cicero ' s Orations and studying the history of the period of this ora¬ tor ' 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 com¬ position work. MODERN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT H. A. KANZLER (Head of Department) 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 lan¬ guage are emphasized; while in the second year, more time is given to reading. The pri¬ mary 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. French is offered in the Freshman year, Ger¬ man in the Sophomore year, and Spanish in the Junior year. The Stars and Stripes keep vigilant watch over us throughout the year.

Personal corres¬ pondence is carried on with foreign students. PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT FRANCIS PHILLIPS—EDGAR GUNDERSON (Heads of Departments) Physical Education not only teaches the pupil to live now—but in the future, by giving to us a social value needed at all times. By being in group games physical education builds for that pupil a good social attitude; a respect for the opinion of others. Physical Education prompts the pupil to lead a fuller and more valuable life—by giv¬ ing an appreciation of art—that of creation found in the various types of rhythmic acti¬ vities and the modern dance. We, as teachers ' of physical education ac¬ cept this not only as an aim but as a definition of our subject and base our program on activi¬ ties that are physically wholesome, mentally stimulating, and socially sound. This program is achieved by the wise super¬ vision and teaching of various sports, rhyth¬ mic exercises and rhythmic activities, games and skills—all of which gives to the child a social value, develops muscle coordination, courage, endurance, strength, bodily grace, leadership and fellowship, development of per¬ sonality, and a healthy mind and look. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT JAMES E. TRABUE (Head of Department) The Commercial Department is faced with a two-fold responsibilty in education: 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 so¬ cial and economic background to develop a knowledge of social conditions and needs. To fulfill these obligations a four year cur¬ riculum is planned in which vocational courses and social sciences are offered. The vocational work is as follows: two semesters of general business training, nine semesters of secretarial studies including office practice and advanced transcript, five semesters of bookkeeping in¬ cluding cost accounting and fundamental principles of auditing; two semesters of fun¬ damental business arithmetic; one semester each of salesmanship, advertising, and busi¬ ness correspondence. The social sciences offered include Social Problems, Commercial Geography, Commer¬ cial Law and Economics. The Departments place a great deal of em¬ phasis on job placement work for the gradu¬ ates and endeavors to maintain a job-follow¬ up system for the benefit of the employers, employees, and the school. How proud we will be in the future to have passed through these doors. Page 21 uni i ENGLISH DEPARTMENT ORENA FARMER (Head of Department) The first aim of education must be to train man in the use of language. His power of speech controls his thought, his pleasures, his work, his personality, and his place in society. By and large a democracy depends on the in¬ telligent understanding and expression by its citizens of facts and ideas. The English curriculum is adjusted to the individual student as far as group teaching permits. Reading tests are given to all fresh¬ men so that materials may be used suitable to the varying abilities. All work in the Eng¬ lish course is planned to start with present needs of the pupils. The reading is arranged in units; such as, Glorious Aduenture, Kinship With Nature, In Step With The Scientist, Early American Life, Choosing A Career, Learning More About Others, Feelings Expressed Through Toetry, In The Realm Of Fancy. The composition has units in letter-writing, the study of magazines, grammar, story-tell¬ ing and writing, courtesy, and the like. Panel discussions, parliamentary drill, and conver¬ sation have superseded formal debate. The senior students may elect special courses in public speaking, journalism, or Eng¬ lish preparatory for college in place of the regular English courses. The aim of the English department is to make the work functional so that what is learned will have immediate as well as future value. BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT F. J. FRIEDLI (Head of Department) 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 juniors and seniors. Each course extends throughout the year. These biological subjects are of great cul¬ tural value as well as of wide practical appli¬ cation. 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 inter¬ esting 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 indispensable 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 great branches of science has unusual importance. The beauty of our Campus blanketed in snow will always be a cherished memory. Pagn 22 FACULTY H. WORTMANN, B. S. University of Illinois (Commercial) JEANNE BAER, A. B.

BRILL (Head of Department) The Industrial Arts Department offers three years ' work in mechanical drawing, machine shops, and wood shops; and one and one-half years 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, recogni¬ tion of value in buying and insight into allied trades and knowledge of trade products. The mechanical drawing section offers work in the fundamentals of drawing, lettering and sheet metal development in the first year, machine drawing the second year; and archi¬ tectural drawing the third year. The architec¬ tural drawing consists of fundamentals, house plans, elevations, perspectives, planning and estimating. The wood shop offers beginning bench work the first semester: advanced bench work, turning, band saw, mortiser, tenoner and belt sander work the second semester. Students taking shop work are required during the sophomore year to take machine shops or auto mechanics, 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. Wood Shops 5 con¬ sists of beginning mill work; Wood Shops 6, advanced mill work; Wood Shops 7, pattern making; and Wood Shops 8, shop foreman- ship. Machine shops 5 and 6 consists of ad¬ vanced work on lathe, shaper, miller and plan¬ er. The difficulty of the work advances from one-piece tools the first semester to small ma¬ chines the fourth semester. One and one-half years ' work is offered during Sophomore and Junior 1, in auto mechanics, which includes a study of the con¬ struction, care, operation, and repair of the modern automobile. All students majoring in the field of In¬ dustrial Arts are required to take at least two years of Mechanical Drawing. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT E. G. HEXTER (Head of Department) The place which mathematics should have in the educational program is to be determined by appraising the ways it assists in attains the following objectives: the ability to think clear¬ ly; the ability to use information, concepts, and general principles; the ability to use fun¬ damental skills; the development of desirable attitudes, and the development of interests and appreciation. The department of Mathematics offers a full four-year 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.

Page 33 Mill IIIA 11 BELLEVILLE, 26; SPARTA, 20 Coach Tabor ' s Maroons won their first game of the season, 26-20, over an inspired Sparta eleven. It was a close game all the way through. The Streaks gained an early 7-0 lead but McKelvey intercepted a pass and ran 95 yards for a touchdown. He then converted the extra point to even things up. Belleville ' s second score came in the third quarter when McKelvey gathered in a Sparta punt and travelled 47 yards for the score, putting the Devils in front, 13-6. Sparta took the subsequent kickoff on the 48-yard line and passed their way to a touch¬ down to even the score again. After some fine ball carrying by Bechtold and Hinton, Co-Captain Heely went over for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. But Paul entered the game and passed to Wangelin for the extra point, putting Belleville in front, 20-13. The lead didn ' t last long. Right after the kickoff Penny of Sparta made a 65-yard run for his third touchdown. Hutton converted on a kick. Bechtold intercepted a pass on the Belleville 35 to set the stage for the touch¬ down drive that decided the game. Passes from Heely to Wangelin and gains by McKel¬ vey put the ball on the 18-yard line, and Bechtold took it over for the winning touch¬ down. BELLEVILLE, 7; CLEVELAND, 18 The Maroons suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of a strong Cleveland squad. Poor blocking and a few slips were behind the defeat. Alertness on defense by fullback Buffa gave Cleveland its first two touchdowns. He inter¬ cepted a pass midway in the first period, raced from midfield to Belleville ' s 19-yard line and Buffa took it over. Several plays later Buffa galloped 45 yards for another touchdown. Cleveland ' s final touchdown was the result of a 56-yard march. Belleville ' s lone touchdown came in the last quarter following an intercepted pass by Steh- lick. Short gains by Stehlick and passes from Heely to Paul and Wangelin brought the ball to the 2 yard stripe. Paul sneaked through the line for the score. Bill Van Osdale calmly drop-kicked the extra point. Page 34 BELLEVILLE, 6; ALTON, 0 The Maroons outplayed Alton in every de¬ partment. They gained more yardage in ground plays and in passes. The 47 yard line was the closest Alton got to the Maroon ' s goal. Belleville immediately got possession of the ball on a fumbled punt. The first three quar¬ ters consisted mainly of a punting duel be¬ tween McKelvey and Buck, Alton ' s left tackle, with Alton being slowly pushed back. The Maroon ' s reached Alton ' s 1 yard line near the end of the third quarter when the of¬ ficials ruled interference on a Belleville pass. On the next play Paul plunged over for a touchdown, but the play was called back be¬ cause Alton was offsides. The quarter ended before another play could be started, but on the first play of the fourth quarter Heely plunged over for the score. Van Osdale ' s drop-kick for the extra potint was wide. BELLEVILLE, 27; WOODRIVER, 0 Belleville overwhelmed the Woodriver Oilers for their second conference victory. Led by Dick McKelvey, who counted three touchdowns, the Maroons scored once in each period. The Maroon Devils secured their first score on a plunge by McKelvey from the 5-yard line. A pass from Paul to Wangelin was good for the extra point. McKelvey scored the second touchdown on a 53 yard run. Van Osdale ' s kick for the extra point was good. In the third quarter after Niven and Taylor had blocked an Oiler punt Paul passed to Mc¬ Kelvey for the third score. The kick for the extra point was low. Paul scored the final marker on a quarter¬ back sneak and then kicked the extra point. BELLEVILLE, 37; CATHEDRAL, 0 The stronger Township team easily defeated the Cathedral Crusaders. The Maroon second team played the entire second half. Immediately upon gaining possession of the ball Belleville started a march toward the goal line. Paul plunged over from the 6-yard line for the first score. A few plays later Heely ran 45 yards through the entire Cathedral eleven for the second touchdown. Paul con¬ verted the extra point by a line plunge. The score at the end of the first quarter was 13-0 in Belleville ' s favor.

Heely crossed the goal line from the 1-yard line for the fourth score. Soon after the second half began Mc- Gaughey ran 15 yards for the fifth touchdown. The fourth quarter consisted of an exchange of intercepted passes with Belleville finally gaining possession of the ball on the Crusad¬ er ' s 22-yard line. Bechtold then ran around end for the final score. BELLEVILLE, 20; EDWARDSVILLE, 0 Belleville gained its third conference victory by defeating the Tigers, 20-0. Belleville started a march toward the goal line as soon as they got possession of the ball but they were halted on Edwardsvilie ' s 19 be¬ cause of a fumble. Several plays later Mc- Kelvey broke over tackle for 36 yards and a pass from Paul to Anna was good for the touchdown. McKelvey ' s place-kick for the extra point was good. Passes from Heely to Anna and a lateral from Anna to Paul, who raced 14 yards for a touchdown, accounted for the second score. McKelvey again kicked the extra point. When Edwardsville started a passing attack Vince Boden intercepted a short pass and car¬ ried the ball to the Tiger 14. On the next play McKelvey broke through the line and raced for a touchdown. The kick for the extra point was wide. BELLEVILLE, 13; GRANITE CITY, 0 The Tabormen took over the lead in the South-West Illinois Conference when they skidded and splashed to a 13-0 victory over the Granite eleven on a very muddy field. It was the Maroon ' s fourth straight conference win. The Maroons scored their first touchdown in the initial quarter after they gained pos¬ session of the ball on their own 37-yard line. Gains by McKelvey, Heely, and Paul advanced the ball to the Warrior ' s 21, and a Heely to Anna pass put the ball on the 11 from which McKelvey cut through left tackle for the score. In the third quarter Wangelin blocked a punt with Vince Boden recovering on the Granite 28. Two plays later a pass from Heely to Stan Sprague was good for eighteen yards, putting the ball on the 5-yard line. The ball was then advanced to the two-foot line from which point McKelvey took it over the goal line. McKelvey also added the extra tally thus accounting for all of the points. Page 38 BELLEVILLE, 19; MADISON, 0 In this game Madison was hetld scoreless for the first time this season. McKelvey accounted for three touchdowns in the first half. The first of these was taken over the goal line from the 8 yard line. The next one was from the 1 -yard line where Anna had recovered a Trojan fumble. A short time later two line plays and two successful passes along with a penalty on Madison for off-sides put the ball on the 1-yard line. Mac then went over for the score and a Paul to Wan- gelin pass was good for the extra point. Madison ' s only threat came in the third quarter as the Trojans drove to the Maroon ' s three-yard line, only to fall short of a touch¬ down. BELLEVILLE, 0; COLLINSVILLE, 13 The Collinsvil le squad outfought and out- chargetd a lighter Belleville team to upset the favored Maroons, 13 to 0. Belleville, undefeated and unscored upon in six straight games, yielded the first touch¬ down to the Kahoks in the second period after the Collinsville team had made three unsuc¬ cessful marches into Maroon territory. They held the upper hand throughout most of the game, pushing over another touchdown in the final quarter. A It was a hard fought battle with injuries prevalent all the way through. Dick McKel- vety, Lloyd Anna, Wally Taylor, and Bud Paul had to be removed from the game. BELLEVILLE, 0; EAST ST. LOUIS, 7 A very badly crippled Belleville eleven went forth against a strong East Side team in the annual Turkey Day tilt. Only three Seniors were in the starting linetup for Belleville but the team played an inspired game and the fans were elated with their performance. Co-captain Heely, Bud Paul, and Dick Mc- Kelvy were unable to participate, and Juniors Jim Hinton, Bill Wolters, and Warren Stehlick started for their first time. East Side staged one drive in the first quar- terter. Abromovich, Hartman, and Mannle carried the ball to the Belleville 10, where the Maroons took the ball on downs. I Belleville threatenetd to score several times, but on the whole the Maroons were kept on the defensive most of the game. They de¬ fended their goal successfully until the third quarter when the heavier and more exper¬ ienced Flyers finally score the lone touchdown of the game, as Hartman went over from the 1 foot line. Although the Maroons lost the game, they gained a moral victory by holding the Flyers to one touchdown, when their team was com¬ posed of second string men. mg mir imi Page 39 BAND John Allison Marjorie Gemin Harvey Smith Jean Abshier Jack Gaubatz Elwood Smith Rose Marie Buchmann Donald Hauck Kenneth Schmidt Emmy Lee Buchmann Tom Harrison Donald Schmidt Allen Bott Emerson Hough Webster Schott Francis Brestal August Hoeflinger Commacore Schuckman Jerome Berger Jean Hartel Elizabeth Storck Bob Bertram Kenneth Haris Fern Schorr Ralph Brown Jean Iberg Virgil Stock Doris Bedwell Albert Johnson Donald Siegel Donald Blanchard Jane Kurrus Bill Tarr James Brill John Kneurtz Jack Voland Jean Cheatham Dale Krehmeyer Opal Walthes Carol Christman Melvin Lindauer Robert Wright Marion Childers Edward Loehr Howard Zink Shirley Conington Doss Murphy Mr. Peters (Sponsor) Bob Coon Harold Mulligan Davis Wesley James Marsh Eugene Dill Walter Malzahn Drum Majors and Majorettes Fred Depper, Jr. Cordell Meyer Rosemary Edwards Arnold Mueller Wayne Kissel Wayne Fickinger Marion Nold George Thurgate William Grommet Doris Northcut Mary Beth Baujan Helen Mae Grossart Betty Qualls Judy Mueller Georgia Grossart Charles Rauschkalb Doris McKean Robert Guest Allen Richards Shirley Jean Peters Louis Gansmann Harold Rutter Arlene Ward 1 1 I Page 40 I timmiiii Our cheerleaders — their unfailing enthusiasm has been a real inspiration to our team and to our school.

The Belleville Township High School Basket¬ ball squad had a reasonably successful season this year. Out of 22 starts the team man¬ aged to win 1 5 while dropping only seven. The team played good basketball, at times up¬ setting some of the higher ranking conference clubs. The team maintained its fighting spirit throughout the season and showed the admir¬ able characteristics of fair play and good sportsmanship.

BASKETBALL BELLEVILLE, 20; LEBANON, 13 The Maroons turned in a 20-13 victory to open the 1941-42 basketball season. The Lebanon Greyhounds had won three straight games before losing to Belleville. Clem Freeh, center, and Ward Kreitner, guard were top scorers of the evening with seven points apiece. Kreitner scored a basket and a free throw in the first quarter which ended in a 3-3 tie. In the second quarter Kreitner scored again and Bill Adrian accounted for two free throws and Belleville held the edge, 7-5, at the end of the first half. In the second half Freeh scored seven points and Browy, Oneal and Kreitner each scored a two pointer to bring the Maroon total to 20. BELLEVILLE, 24; UNIVERSITY CITY, 20 Bob O ' Neal led the Maroon scorers with nine points and he was followed by Ward Kreitner who rang up six points. University City took an early lead which lasted until the middle of the third quarter. The Maroons then took over and held their lead until the end of the game. BELLEVILLE, 36; SPARTA, 32 The Tabormen turned in their third win in three starts when they defeated the Sparta Streaks. It was their first defeat in five starts. Clem Freeh was top scorer of the evening with 1 3 points. 1 0 of these were scored in the first quarter. When the buzzer ended the ini¬ tial quarter the score was 14-4 with the Ma¬ roons on top. Belleville held the lead throughout the game, Sparta finally pulling up within four points of the Maroons. Kreitner was ejected from the game on fouls late in the third quarter. Joe Browry also went out on fouls just as the game ended. BELLEVILLE, 33; GRANITE, 19 Coach Tabor ' s boys were really clicking as they won their fourth game in as many starts. They not only showed a good offense but a strong man-for-man defense, hardly giving the Happy Warriors a chance to get set. Granite City held a lead of 4-1 for a short while in the first quarter but Oneal sunk two field goals in rapid succession and the Ma¬ roons held the lead the rest of the game. Bob Oneal and Clem Fretch were top scorers of the evetning. Oneal with 13 points and Freeh with 9. This was the first game of the season for Lloyd Anna who has been recovering from a football injury. He accounted for 5 points. BELLEVILLE, 33; O ' FALLON, 19 The Maroons scored their fifth straight vic¬ tory when they took O ' Fallon, 33-19. But it was a really busy evening for the whistle blow¬ ers in the striped shirts. O ' Fallon was charged with 22 personal fouls and Belleville with 19. Nine players were removed from the game, four Tabor men and five O ' Fallon boys. Kreit¬ ner, O ' Neal and Anna went out on fouls and Russ Sprague was ejected because of rough¬ ness seconds before the game ended. O ' Neal and Sprague paced the Maroon scores with eleven and eight points respect¬ fully. BELLEVILLE, 16; MADISON, 17 Using the new fan shaped back boards for the first time the favored Maroons dropped a close one for their first defeat in six games. The game was nip and tuck all the way through with the Trojans finally coming out on top. The score was 4-4 at the end of the first quarter. At the half Madison led 7-6. The Maroons went ahead at the opening of the third quarter but Madison managed to tie it up, 11-11, as the third quarter ended. In the fourth quarter Belleville led, 16 to 12, with less than 4 minutes to play. The game began to get a little rough then. Freeh went out on fouls and the Trojans ' 5 points which were needed to win came as a result of a field goal and 3 successful foul shots. BELLEVILLE, 50; CATHEDRAL, 16 The Maroons piled up a great total when they trounced one of the least experienced teams in the history of the Cathedral school. Coach Tabor played the first five in only the first and the third quarter. The Town- shippers scored 16 points in the first six min¬ utes of play while Cathedral went scoreless from the field until two minutes of the third quarter had passed. Russ Sprague and his brother Stan led the Maroon scorers with ten and seven points res¬ pectively. Eleven of the thirteen Township players scored at least one field goal. The Maroons piled up a greater total in this game than any Township team in recent years. Page 56 BELLEVILLE, 25; EDWARDSVILLE, 28 It was an off night for Coach Tabor ' s Ma¬ roons. Even though they led Edwardsville at the half and were still in front, 20-18, going into the final quarter. In the fourth quarter the Tigers outscored the Maroons, 10-5, to win by 3 points. Clem Freeh was top scorer with 9 points. There were 26 fouls called but the game was not particularly rough. It was just a case of close officiating. BELLEVILLE, 38; COLLINSVILLE, 42 It was a good game all the way through— plenty of points, close score and just enough rough stuff. Both teams seemed nearly equal, the Kahoks shading the Maroons in the first half with the Townshippers outplaying them in the second and third quarters. The Maroons played a good offensive game but the Kahoks seemed to be red hot in their shooting. O ' Neal and Kreitner tied for scoring honors with eleven points each. Russ Sprague and Clem Freeh had six points each. Bob Richter, Collinsville center, was the standout of the evening, piling up 19 points. The Maroons were weakened late in the last quarter when Freeh and Kreitner fouled out but they had no excuse for this loss and will surely give the Kahoks a hot time of it the next time they meet. BELLEVILLE, 26; WOODRIVER, 38 The Maroons suffered their first real defeat of the season at the hands of a strong Wood- river team. The boys were really in the ball game until near the end of the first half when the Oilers suddenly pulled ahead to lead, 1 9-11, as the half ended. They kept this lead and led, 30-20, going into the final period. John Thompson, who started at guard in¬ stead of Lloyd Anna, led the Maroon scorers with 12 points, accounted by 5 field goals and two charity shots. BELLEVILLE, 35; EAST SIDE, 29 Tabe ' s Maroons turned in a spirit victory over the East Sides. East Side, the Maroon ' s traditional rivals, gained a 11-7 lead for the first quarter and was still in front, 19-12, at the half. The third quarter was a bitter struggle but the Belleville boys were in front, 2523, going into the final period. East St. Louis tied the score 3 times but couldn ' t go ahead and the Maroons put on a great finish to win by 6 points. Clem Freeh and Russ Sprague were the top scorers with 14 and 11 points respectively. BELLEVILLE, 53; ALTON, 32 It was really a hot scoring evening for the Maroons, the boys looping virtually every shot they tried. Tabe ' s boys pulled out an early lead with the first quarter ending 18-3. The boys went on another spree the next quarter and the half ended 36-14. The Maroons settled for 13 points in the third quarter making the score 49-21. The second team took over the fourth quar¬ ter but added only 4 points making the score 53-32. Bob O ' Neal and Clem Freeh shared scoring honors with 17 points each. ALTON, 31; BELLEVILLE, 25 The Hilltoppers avenged the Maroons for their crushing defeat in the first game. Alton took the lead immediately and led at the end of the first quarter, 12-5. The Tabormen came back the next quarter and owned a 15-14 advantage at the half. The third quar¬ ter was all Alton ' s and they led, 25-18, going into the last frame. Better free throwing might have won for Belleville who converted only 9 out of 22 tries while Alton looped 11 out of 17. Russ Sprague, who fouled out, led the Ma¬ roons with 8 points. BELLEVILLE, 33; O ' FALLON, 29 The Maroons led the O ' Fallon Panthers all the way. The first quarter ended 13-5. The boys held this lead and the score was 16-10 going into the third quarter. O ' Fallon put on a spurt in the third quarter, pulling up within 3 points of the Maroons— 23-20. The fourth quarter was a touch and go af¬ fair, the Maroons coming out on top, 33-29. Freeh, O ' Neal, and Kreitner were top scorers with 11,8, and 7 points respectively. A SCRAPPY OUTFIT Page 57 imirnii BELLEVILLE, 19; GRANITE CITY, 22 It was a lowly Granite City team which stop¬ ped the come-back efforts of the Maroons. The fans all expected the Belleville boys to beat the Granite City Hoopsters but the visit¬ ors did a lot of close guarding and allowed only five field goals when they upset Tabe ' s boys. It was a close struggle all the way with the score tied at five all at the end of the first quarter and Belleville leading 9-7 at the half. Granite City had a 17-15 edge going into the last quarter and held that lead until the final buzzer. Bob O ' Neal was top scorer for the evening with 7 points. BELLEVILLE, 62; CATHEDRAL, 18 The Township boys set a new season high of 62 points—the previous high score being 53 against Alton. The first five played only the initial quar¬ ter. Coach Tabor played the entire squad of 14 boys—eleven of them breaking into the scoring column. Fritz Gutherz, playing in his first game, led in the Maroon tally production with 13 points. This was the seventh win in as many non¬ league tilts for the Townshippers. BELLEVILLE, 40; MADISON, 23 A closer battle was anticipated because the Tabormen were defeated by a one point mar¬ gin in their first tilt with Madison. A dozen players saw action in the game but only six broke into the scoring column as Clem Freeh and Bob O ' Neal shared scoring honors with 11 tallies each. The game was rough and a technical foul was called against the Madison fans for boo¬ ing the referee. The Maroons jumped off to an early lead and outscored the Trojans in three quarters and played on even terms in one. BELLEVILLE, 37; MARISSA, 16 The outcome of the game was never doubt¬ ed from the opening buzzer. The Township Varsity piled up a 22-4 halftime lead before surrendering the floor to the reserves. Coach Tabor used the entire squad of 14 with 11 of the boys scoring. Marissa had a better team than the score might indicate. They passed the ball well and showed good team-work but were not good enough in their shooting to make the score any closer. BELLEVILLE, 34; EDWARDSVILLE, 35 The Maroon cagers were trying for their 13th triumph on Friday 13 but lost by the heartbreaking score of 35-34. The Belleville boys, going down to defeat, missed 58 out of 71 tries for field goals but converted 8 out of 11 free throws. The Maroons took a first quarter lead but the Tigers were in front at the close of the subsequent periods. Clem Freeh hit the rim for a total of 17 p oints for the second time this season. In the fourth quarter little Don Siegel made three baskets in a row, giving the Maroon followers a flurry of hope but Edwardsville just would not be beaten. BELLEVILLE, 31; COLLINSVILLE, 28 In one of the fastes games of the season the Maroons defeated the Collinsville Kahoks for the first time in many seasons. The Tabormen were in front all the way avenging their defeat of the first game. Fritz Gutherz switched positions with Russ Sprague and he accounted for 11 points to come out high man for the evening. BELLEVILLE, 26; WOODRIVER, 51 The Maroon cagers suffered their first real defeat of the season when the Woodriver Oil¬ ers coasted to a 51 -26 victory as they clinched the conference title. The Oilers held an 18-3 advantage at the end of the first half. The Maroon points were well divided. Kreitner and Schmidt were the leaders with 4 points each. Woodriver is the only team which has been able to outscore the Maroons by more than 4 points. BELLEVILLE, 16; EAST ST. LOUIS, 14 The Belleville cagers beat East Side for the second time this season in a great defensive battle. Neither team led by more than 2 points at any time. The first quarter ended 5-4 in favor of the Maroons. It was nine all at the half. The third quarter was also tied 14-14. In the fourth quarter the East Siders held the ball for 4! 2 minutes but neither team was able to score. Belleville gained possession of the ball in the tip off startoing the first extra period. After a little manuevering O ' Neal sank his lone field goal which decided the game. Freeh and Sprague were top scorers with 8 and 5 p oints respectively. Page 58 Come on, Rus Shoot A Basket!

Second Row: Heine- man, Groh, Rauth, Coach; Jordan, Newton, Manager; Dan Heely, Wolters. The 1941-42 wrestling squad had only a fair season. Out of eight matches the team was able to win four. Belleville won all of their non-conference meets but were not quite so successful when in conference competition. Although the team had its setbacks it proved its mettle and bulldog determination by win¬ ning third place in the Conference and also third in the Sectional meet. This year ' s wrestling team should be praised Page 60 for their persistent and relentless efforts and for their keen sense of good sportsmanship. WRESTLING Darwin Heely, the only B. T. H. S. wrestler to place in the state meet, won third in the 125 pound division for his second consecutive year. Dan Heely received the sec¬ ond place award at the Sec¬ tional meet. He wrestled in the 165 pound division. Bob Padan also gained sec¬ ond at the Sectional meet while wrestling in the 105 pound class. Huga Heinsmann placed second in the same meet while representing the 175 pound class.

Four years of study, play, and training together. Four years in which many lifelong friendships have been formed. Four years which have done a great deal forming our opinions, our judgment and our character. We came to Belleville Township High bewildered and perplexed. We were strangers in a new and different world. Immediately the faculty took us under their parental wing. We were no longer bewildered but quickly learned to appreciate our school and the opportunities it offered. Through all our trials and tribulations we were blessed by having the competent advice of a very capable and understanding faculty. The student body owes a debt of gratitude to the faculty for their tireless efforts in working with us. Soon the members of the class of ' 42 will be divided as each seeks the job he is best fitted to pursue. All that will remain is the high school memories. These priceless memories we will carry with us throughout our life. The class of ' 42 extends the hand of friendship to the faculty and the student body as we bid them adieu. The class offers its best wishes for an eventful and plenteous future. VIRGINIA VOLK Snappy Snappers VIVIAN STINKY STOECKEL Champ.

In this time he has not only been competent and capable director of ath¬ letics but he has instilled into his teams the principle of good sportsmanship. Along with this job Mr. Friedli retains his position as baseball coach. This season has been unusually difficult for him. Our entrance into the war made trans¬ portation a serious problem which threatened our athletic program. It is largely through the efforts of Mr. Friedli that our athletic schedules are still intact.

This year ' s baseball squad had only a fair season. With only two of the members of the 1940 State Championship squad returning the boys were able to win the city series and make a good showing in conference play. Although the team did not win any conference honors they proved to be good sportsmen in play, which is an admirable characteristic for any athletic squad. f Page 93 TRACK 1 1 A I First Row: James Newton, Jim Hinton, Eddie Wright, Jim Nivin, George Warren, Russel Sprague, Ward Kreitner, Charles Schifferdecker, Adolph Kneflekamp, Tony Kroupa.

They were second in the Conference Track and Field Meet and the Junior track squad placed first in the same event. RELAY TEAM The Relay team of Hinton, Kreitner, Sprague, and Knebelkamp set a new Confer¬ ence record for the shuttle relay. 2nd RELAY TEAM The Relay team of Hinton, Kreitner, Rey¬ nolds, and Knebelkamp set a new Conference record in the 880 yard run.

At the opening of the 1942 season there were four returning lettermen to spark the team on to victory. The doubles team of Davis and Bub went to the State meet for the second straight year.

He richly deserved this honor, for he has not only proved himself an excellent student, but he has also devoted a great deal of time and energy to various activities. Jack was co-captain of the football team; he also was active in wrestling and baseball and was a valuable member of the Student Council. The student body and the faculty chose eighty-five nominees for this award and the faculty made the final decision.

Oh What a night. Page 105 A CANDY ANKLE Joe Blow was box office at the cage. When he contacted a local Guinea for a candy ankle it was time for feather heeling. It was all because Joe was an oolie droolie and sported a sputterbus with a pretty good set of dough¬ nuts. Or maybe it was because he was always good for a sidestick. Any way—he was the topic of the chinchinning at all the henfests. One night he Don Ameche ' d Suzie for a cookie push that P. M. Suzie was jollified and answered Super Duper! See you at eight bells. She ank- led up to her flop room, put on her stilts and fancy rags and rushed a mural. When Joe fingered the chimes she was really something to bounce an eyeball on. But when she got out into the murk there was no junkman ' s delight. Instead there was a double iron horse. Joe saw the sad apple look in her peepers and quickly came to the rescue with, Cheer up honey, even on aid serge suit has its bright side. So they peddled off to the town pump—one of the local pork-and-beaneries to put on the feed bag. Joe celebrated the occasion with a cow between the sheets and Suzie spent her time on wimpy burger. Joe really blew the kale by buying some tonsil baths and feeding the platter box. He was different with her—he didn ' t huzzlecoo or pour on the perfumed sopa and by the time they were ready to take a powder they were as close as Yours and Truly. The evening was a success— Joe didn ' t waste any push water and he didn ' t let his doughnuts become baldheads. ENGLISH TRANSLATION Joe Blow was popular at school. When he asked a local girl for a date it was time for rejoicing. It was all because Joe was nice fellow and had a car with a set of tires in fair condition. Or maybe it was because he was always good for a laugh. Any way he was the topic of conversation at all the girls ' parties. One night he telephoned Suzie for a date for that evening. Suzie was happy as a clam at high tide and answered, That ' s swell—I ' ll be ready at eight o ' clock. She hurried up to her room, put on her high heels, good clothes, and makeup. When Joe rang the door bell she was something pleas¬ ing to see. But when she got outside there was no car! Instead there was a bicycle built for two. Joe saw the dissapointment in her eyes and quickly came to the rescue with, Cheer up honey, this isn ' t as bad as it seems. So they rode off to the compus hangout—one of the local restaurants to get something to eat. Joe celebrated the occasion with a beef sandwich and Suzie had a hamburger. Joe really spent money by buying some cool drinks and putting nickels in the music box. He was different with her—he didn ' t flirt with her or flatter her and by the time they were ready to leave they were getting along like old friends. The evening was a success—Joe didn ' t waste any gasoline and he didn ' t let his tires lose their tread. SAYINGS OF THE TIME Even an old serge suit has its bright side. As close as ' y ours, and ' truly ' . He ' s an awful bore—he means everything he says. The one word that describes her is poise—short for poison. He ' s just a drip left over from an April Shower. Many a flower is born to blush unseen and waste its sweetness on the desert air—boy am I wastin ' time here. May I borrow your frame for this struggle? -- May I have this dance? THE WORM TURNS Once there was a gal who was strictly a worm. All her harpies tried to get her to axe the worming, lift the veil and give some of the supermen the down-and-up. But she didn ' t care to become a man trap in the local cage —she didn ' t want any Biology 1. But finally her sparky harpies got her to go out with a big time operator with a meat-grinder—they fixed her up with a Joe Corn for a jollification where they were going to knife a bonfire, give out with the groceries, and do a little bustle-rustling. She put on the country air and was the essence of peppermint in Joe ' s eyes. That night at the blow- off she was potent stuff and she has now learned to tell the difference be¬ tween the sad apples and the sugarpusses. Now she ' s hittin ' on eight. B. T. H. S.

Why is your car painted red on one side and blue on the other? Oh, that s a fine idea. You should hear all the witnesses contradicting each other. Bus Driver: Don ' t you see the sign ' No Smoking ' ? Krebs: Sure, but there are so many silly signs around here. One even says, ' Wear Brown ' s Corsets ' —so I ain ' t payin ' any attention to any of them. Yes, I ' m a good singer. Where did you learn to sing like that? I graduated from a correspondence school. Boy, you must have lost lots of your mail. Mrs. Cantrell: Cree! Wake up! There ' s someone creeping up the stairs. Cree: What time is it? Mrs. C.: Two A. M. Cree: Well, it isn ' t me this time. And this I suppose is one of those hidious caricatures you call modern art? Nope, that ' s just a mirror. Boy: But judge I ' m a high school student.
