G. scHMioT, Principal Of all the causes that lead to human misery, the greatest is human selfishness in all its degrees of molisciousness. No one can treat his neighbors as himself who harbors the greed and the selfishness that is now bathing the world in blood. Self respect keeps us balanced mentally and physically, Selfishness leads to strife, pain and sorrowg self respect leads to uprightness in self and regard for fellow man. v B. '16-lf..-g. ROGILJ and Allman! flaincipal America, to win this war and the peace which follows, must have the stamina in its men and women so that they can stand the gaff, with enough energy left at the end of the day to enjoy relaxation and cul- ture of properly used leisure time, Physical fitness is an individual re- sponsibility and a patriotic neces- -e sity of good citizenship, F' JA FRED'-l Assistant Principal We, the graduating class of 1944, wish to express our appreciation to the Board of Education for their sincere interest in the welfare of the students. Through their untiring efforts theyli have helped to maintain the high standards our school has today. First row: Paul Moeller, President, lrvin Klamm, Dr. Ed.

Coach Tabor was faced with a problem, for he had only 5 returning lettermen and none of these had ever started a game before. The coach's fears were soon done away with for the team gave an impressive showing of run- ning, passing and kicking. Sparta had a difficult time piercing the green but solid forward wall of the Maroons. Davis and McEvers scored the two Belleville touchdowns, both driving hard through the line to cross the goal. Sparta scored its lone touchdown by blocking a punt by Mauser and then falling upon the ball in the end zone. A very impressive game was played by Bill Bug and Frankie Brestal. Bug, filling the vacancy left by Co-Captain Bob Coon, who was sitting on the bench because of a recent toncil operation, caught a 26-yard pass from Olsen setting up a touchdown. Brestal im- pressed the crowd with his broken field run- ning and punting. Tabor substituted freely in the remaining minutes of the game so as to give all the boys some experience. BELLEVILLE, Q4 - CLEVELAND, 6 To the great surprise of a hopeful but pes- simistic home crowd the Maroons soundly trounced a heavier and more experienced team from Cleveland High School in St. Louis Q4 to 6.
