You ' re not going to weor shoes to the PROM, ore you? ' ' TEACHER I moy hove lots of faults, but being wrong is not one of them. SPORT Sis - boom - boh BELLEVILLE TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL Belleville, Illinois Volume XLIV Published by the Bellevinois Stall Success in life and victory in the game of chess are comparable in many respects. Both achievements require extensive planning and careful thinking on the part of the partici¬ pants. One of the first steps in planning is to select a goal for which to strive. It is neces¬ sary to choose a goal that is challenging and not entirely impossible and then work toward its fulfillment. Without definite goals, we flounder in indecision and accomplish noth¬ ing. In chess there is really onlv one goal that we can select — to win. In both the game of living and the game of chess there are obstacles that keep us from immediately attaining the goal, some arising from our own shortcomings and others that we meet in the environment. In chess the obstacles to overcome are the limitations of our own knowledge and the ability of the person sitting across the board. Once we have picked a goal we must con¬ centrate our efforts upon it. We need to realize our abilities and limitations and to recognize the influences which the environ¬ ment brings to hear upon us. Then we can plan our course accordingly and he confident of success. This also holds true in playing chess. We must first have a plan of action and then lx able to put ourselves in our opponent’s situation so that we can try to imagine his moves. This is not a fool-proof formula for victor)’, hut without planning and thinking through one’s moves it would he virtually impossible to win. This is the analgv between life and chess. All great men, in their individual ways, have followed the rules of playing the game. Such a one was a tall lanky farm bov on the Illinois prairie. He planned his moves carefully to become the man that he was. To read a book he would walk miles. On a tree stump he practiced public speaking. I le had in mind one purpose — to better himself. He was Abraham Lincoln — to become, through his own efforts and in spite of obstacles, the sixteenth president of the United States. Mrs. Mary Jean Leunig “A teacher affects eternity. He can never iell where his influence stops —Henry Brooks Adams The friendly glow of lights stream¬ ing from the Main Building guides night school students to this light¬ house of learning and brings back pleasant memories to many passers- by. Mrs. Leunig leads her class in a discussion on problems of government. Ihank You.. .for being a real teacher. As you teach courses in English, Ameri¬ can history, and American government you do an excellent job in trying to create in your students the desire to learn, which is the basis of all wisdom. The friendly attitude which prevails in your classes stems from the harmony you share with vour pupils. You teach from the textbooks, but, more important, you teach from the heart. f hank You. . .lor being a good citizen. The ideals of democracy and freedom that you impart daily in your classes enable us to become aware of our responsibility as citizens in a free state. You believe in the students ol this sch x l and treat us accordingly as young adults. You arc our example of a mature citizen. I hank You. . .for being a kind friend. You are willing to give your time and talent to pupils who need your help. As a senior class sponsor you have given vour active support to all class projects. Your warm smile, complete sincerity, and charming personality has left a lasting impression upon those who have known you. In grateful appreciation of your achievements as a teacher, we proudly dedicate the 1960 Bellevinois to you. Mrs. Mary Jean Leunig.

He received his degrees from Peru State Teachers College and from Colorado College of Education. I le is quick to praise and appreciate the abilities and achievements of the faculty and students. Dr. Matthews earned his bachelor and masters degrees from the University of Mis¬ souri and a doctor in education degree from Columbia University. On a typical school day he can be seen walking to all parts of the campus in perform¬ ance of his many duties as head of the school. 1 le is never too busy to stop and give a friend ly word and a warm smile to students, fac¬ ulty, and visitors.

Robert In JWcmoriam Lorna Jean Albert Class of 1963 Passed away on March 18, 1960 ‘Life is perfected by death — Browning To play chess well requires a knowl¬ edge of strategic positions. Classwork develops our ability to take our place in the world. Reading maketh a full man . . . writing an exact one. —Bacon 1 wenty-thrce teachers of English make up the largest department on campus. They have the great task of teaching every student in school, for without a knowledge of language all communication would he limited. In addition to regular classes in English, they teach classes in speech, dramatics, journalism, debate, and developmental reading. English teachers teach much more than the mere mechanics of the language, for they attempt to give students a back ground in literature and training in reading. They give an extensive study of literature, from Great Expectations and Silas Warner to Julius Caesar, Macbeth , and Chaucer. Grammar gives us the words and structure, hut reading of literature gives us ideas to use the words creatively. G ' etchen Ganschinietz does reference work for an assignment in English literature class. Language is as much an art ... as painting or music or literature. —Harrison Three years of Latin, German, French, and Spanish are offered at BTI IS, and a fourth year will he provided upon sufficient demand. Instructors follow’ the latest methods of language instruction, and make use of such devices as record players and tape recorders to enhance in struction. At present a new ' language laboratory ' is being planned, to be used by advanced classes as an aid in pronunciation and in the correc¬ tion of oral problems. The study of the language of a country contributes knowledge about the geography, customs, ideals, and ways of living of the people who speak the language, thus opening up new ' horizons of understanding be¬ tween the peoples of the wwld. Eins, zwei, dreil Students of the German language also learn about the terrain of the country. 92 ' The proper study of mankind is man. All subjects taught by the social stu¬ dies department are designed to help the student obtain a better under¬ standing of himself and of others. The American history course traces the development of our coun¬ try and its ideals, while world his- torv gives a background of the growth of civilizations. World geog¬ raphy deals with the study of cli¬ mates and terrain. Classes in govern¬ ment chart the development of our republic and study the ideals and ideas behind the structure of gov¬ ernment. The study of society, sociology, analyzes mans human re¬ lationships, while the course in econ¬ omics studies mans ways of earn¬ ing a living and the advantages of free enterprise. Discussions of cur¬ rent problems existing between the nations of the world take place in the class on international relations. ’Math is the language of science. —Metcalfe The math department, headed by Mr. Pyatt, is doing a fine job of preparing students for careers in math and science. BTHS offers the student two years of algebra, a year and a hall of plane and solid geomet¬ ry, and trigonometry, plus courses in practical mathematics. In addi tion, college courses in analytic ge¬ ometry and calculus are offered to students who participate in the ac¬ celerated program. Many students mistakenly have thought of mathematics as merely the knowledge of addition and sub¬ traction and do not consider the greater advantages which do not concern numbers. Courses in math prepare students for new kinds of problems and introduce them to new concepts of study. More imp rtant, math teaches them how to use logi¬ cal reasoning in solving problems in life. 93 Art is man’s nature; nature is God ' s art. Sue Muehlhauser, Bonnie Goodall, Linda Roberts, and Carole Blust, art students, were kept busy before the holidays, making Christmas decorations for the cafeteria. A perfect mind in a perfect body. The physical education depart¬ ment offers varied activities to suit each individual. Facilities for bas¬ ketball, softball, tennis, archery, volley hall, soccer, badminton, and recreational games are available to girls. The girls receive instruction in modern dance and square dancing. A physical fitness program was in¬ troduced last year and has been ex¬ panded this year to include exer¬ cising to music and work on balance boards. Since the boys’ gym is being re modeled this year, hoys’ activities have been limited. However, during warm weather, they can play foot¬ ball, softball, and tennis. During the winter, activities are confined to basketball and calisthenics. Of course, the track is always waiting for anyone who has an urge to jog j . These girls have fun learning the concepts around it. losing a few unwanted inches. Last year, the art department, un¬ der the supervision of Miss Murray and Mr. Jakobi, underwent big changes — those of moving into a new building and of adding to the curriculum offered to students. This department now ' has one of the most up-to-date courses of study on cam¬ pus. Two years of art are offered, starting with beginning art and go¬ ing on to specialized courses such as ceramics, interior decorating, and commercial drawing. Beginning art students enjoy going outdoors in the spring and fall and sketching nature firsthand. Many of the finished art works are displayed in the show ' case and on the w ' alls of the low ' er lobby of the Cafeteria and Fine Arts Building. At the end of the school vear, art classes usually take a field trip to the St. Louis Art Museum to study the works of the masters. The department brings traveling ex¬ hibits of childrens and university art for display on campus. of interpretive dancing and maybe even 94 A great library contains the diary of the human race ' —Dawson The new and modern library is efficiently run by Miss Ruth Glass, librarian, and Mrs. Vera Bunting, assistant librarian. Twenty-nine stu¬ dents aid the librarians daily in checking out and shelving books. Each year the library is increased by approximately one thousand books. During the past year many new books in the fields of art and drama has been added. The library provides a quiet environment for browsing, using reference books, con centrating on study, or reading b x ks. current periodicals, and newspapers. This year art displays have been used to represent the tvpes of lxx ks we have in the library. Art classes provided sketches of scenes from various books and modem art paint¬ ings to brighten the reading room. A well-equipped and well-managed library aids students to find knowledge that they need. Music is the universal language of mankind. —Longfellow A music theory class studies the sharps and flats of music. Students who are interested in music, vocal or instrumental, are of¬ fered a variety of courses at BT1 IS. Musically inclined freshmen may participate in the freshmen band, mixed chorus, or girls’ chorus. As their knowledge of music increases they progress to other groups. The most advanced groups are the march¬ ing band, the choir, and the orches¬ tra. For the more talented choral students there arc two girls’ sex¬ tettes and a boys’ ensemble. Th is year BTI IS students were fortunate to be able to take a new course, music theory and harmony. This is the study of musical compo¬ sition, including the study of scales, construction of chords, and writing four-part harmony. Work in ear training is also given. 95 Training in industrial fields is of great importance in this age of rapid material progress. From schools come the technicians and specialists to plan the projects, but there must also be skilled craftsmen to put these calculations into working form. Classes in industrial fields open up new ideas and provide training for future jobs. Machine shops teach the function and usage of varied machines. Mechanical drawing and machine detail produce draftsmen who design the machines which oth¬ ers use. Auto shop teaches mechanics who keep our country on the move with good transportation. Welders are needed on industrial production. Electric and wood shops provide us with carpenters and electricians. Future homes and buildings will be worked out on the drawing boards of students of architectural design¬ ing. ’When tillage begins, other arts follow. Farmers, therefore, are the founders of human civilization ' —D. Webster The Vocational Agriculture class is designed to give boys actual ex¬ periences in farming. They learn to feed and handle livestock and keep farm records. 1 hey also studv farm machines and shop work. The students in the Suburban Agriculture class live within the city or its suburbs. The course is designed to acquaint students with agriculture in their county, their country, and other countries. They also learn about landscaping, agri¬ cultural policies, livestock, crops, and agricultural industry. This year these future farmers have built as a community project a portable cattle squeeze to help com bat brucellosis, a serious disease of cattle, sheep, and goats which is spread to humans in infected milk. By the work, one knows the workman. —De La Fontaine Roger Schmitz learns the mechanics of an automobile by working on model parts. The cow catcher being built by ag students is one of the many community projects to which they devote their talent. ' Keep your shop, and your shop will keep you.” —Turner Varied courses to give training in modern business practices are offer¬ ed on our campus. Freshmen can take general business and business arithmetic courses. In the sophomore year the student begins his actual business training with shorthand and bookkeeping. Juniors are offered advanced typing, advanced book keeping, and transcript. Seniors may take clerical practice, secretarial practice, or office occupations. Cleri¬ cal practice teaches the use of all tvpes of office machines, while sec¬ retarial practice combines a review of all business practices with a study of office machines. For half the day, the student enrolled in office occu¬ pations works at one of the local firms which cooperates with the school in this training program. Dur¬ ing the two-hour class period on campus, the office occupations class studies office practices, business English, and secretarial practices. Carol Boucher operates a letter-o graph machine in an office occupations class. This is the true nature of home — it is the place of peace.” —Ruskin Mary Kay Elliott and Marilyn East enjoy conversation while working in sewing class. The field of home economics of¬ fers courses in clothing, foods, homemaking, and hom e nursing. Clothing classes study the selection and care of sewing equipment and the design and color of garments. They also learn to crochet, w r eave, knit, and make patterns. Foods classes plan and prepare nutritional meals. They learn to sene meals and use correct table senice. Homemaking students study about how the child develops, how to use family income efficiently, and how ? to select home furnishings wisely. I lome nursing class acquaints high school girls w’ith the first aid of caring for the sick and injured in the home, and teaches them to recognize abnormal signs and symp¬ toms. 97 Students examine the plant collection in Miss Morgan ' s biology lab. ’’Science carries us into zones of speculation ' —Stevenson forces, but men and their ways ' —Huxley Biological science endeavors not only to teach the fundamentals of its various branches, hut to develop in the mind of each student a desire to further his knowledge. While being initiated into the fascinating and intricate world of biology, students travel new path¬ ways that lead them to a new aware¬ ness of scientific phenomena. Sci¬ ence, once boring for some, is trans formed into an extremely interesting study. With the aid of powerful micro¬ scopes, inspiring teachers, and vigor¬ ous curiosities, biology students probe the gamut of life from algae to man. Throughout the year stu¬ dents keep notebooks in which they record their observations. The stu¬ dents eagerly await laboratory peri ods when they put aside textbooks and study firsthand plants and ani mals. Physical science teaches that buoyant force, friction, and gravita tional attraction are but three of many physical phenomena that af¬ fect everyone’s daily life. Formerly taking such laws as these for grant¬ ed, the students became aw are of the laws of nature as forces in our lives. More advanced students study the composition of the wwld from 1120 through C6M1206 to much more complicated compounds. Weighing and combining chemicals and ob¬ serving their interreactions are the tasks set for the laboratory period. After studying the tiny, powerful atom, they see logical reasons for the formerly incomprehensible reactions of chemicals. Chemistry sometimes proved to be hard, but students cul¬ minated their year’s study with the satisfaction of having learned the ' Iramework of an intensely interest¬ ing subject. John Walker, senior chemistry student, uses laboratory facilities to prove a theory stated in the text book. 98 Sharon Kay Balough Jerome Frank Beekman Richard Edward Bell Barbara Jean Bergman Gordon Lee Bergman William Alden Blank Allen Fred Bollmeier Lewis Alba Bosworth James N.

YV 7 hen one passes the door leading to the base ment quarters of the Bellevinois Staff, he is liable to hear strange noises emanating from the depths. These noises indicate the presence of staff mem¬ bers, who, for the past year, have been planning and working so that yearbooks could be distrib¬ uted in June to those who had ordered them. Planning and publishing a yearbook, contrary to popular opinion, is not all fun. Manv long hours are spent on writing copy, planning pictures, in creasing circulation, obtaining advertising, and learning other facets of journalism. The staff has worked since September, making money on many projects to lower the cost of the book for the students. Among these projects were the selling of school calendars at the beginning of the year, the peddling of popcorn at football games, the handling of many thousands of pic¬ tures taken and delivered under the supervision of the Staff, the contracting for advertising and patrons, and selling the 1960 edition. Every morning during second hour, the staf¬ fers are ready and willing to spend their time writing, preparing, and looking forward to the day in June when the book will be finished. The editor circulates from one corner of the class¬ room to the other and then to the staff room, supervising all the many committees and groups that are busily at work. 1 he advertising manager is checking each staff member to see that he lias solicited his assigned number of ads and patrons. The business manager is going about the diffi¬ cult chore of “balancing the budget and allotting money for the various supplies that are needed. Seated Carol Schmidt, Barb Bergman, Babs Carroway.

Reporters race to put paper to bed. Down the hall from the Bellevinois staff room lies the Hy News office. During the day Miss Jossem can be seen coming out of the office, shaking her head in a dazed man ner. If one listens carefully as he passes the door, he can hear terrible groans or sighs escaping those four walls. They usually issue from an exasperated staff member w ' ho has lost an excellent article or “boobed” a feature story. Un der the direction of Susie 1 lermann, editor-in-chief, the staff puts their minds, if not their hearts, to work so they w ' on ' t dis appoint the waiting readers. Miss Jossem, Susan Hermann. Miss Jossem calls her group together dur ing the 4B peritxl. She tells them to get down to w ' ork, adding a few threatening words to make the idea penetrate. There is a lot more to putting out a school paper than just waiting a second rate story about the first thing that pops into one’s mind. First an interesting topic must be found to write upon, and then a story must be written to explain that topic. It is proofread, typed on a dummy sheet, and proofread again before it is rushed to the printer, in hopes that an other deadline has not been missed. Each month during the year the staff en joyed a pot luck supper. After some hearty eating they got down to the business of dis cussing layouts, features, and articles that were to go into the next issue. Ideas were John Schroede. , Peer Davidson, Lynne Lockwood, Caroie Hefele. pooled, jokes and gossip related, assignments made, and then aprons w ' ere passed out for the job of doing the dishes. Annually the Hy News gives the Citizen ship Award. Candidates are nominated by their classmates in English classes, each class being allowed one nominee for every ten students. Teachers filled out cards, nominat¬ ing students they felt w ' ere worthy of the award. 1 o be eligible nominees had to have Hank Muhlhauser, Mary Ann Phipps, Marilyn Strode, Pam Morrow. a C” or better average and were selected as candidates on qualities of leadership, depend ability, service, and citizenship.

The Council Voices Student Opinion. An essential part of student life at BI NS is the Student Council, composed of the officers and repre¬ sentatives elected by the four classes. Elections for class officers and class representatives are conducted by the council members, who set up the polls, supervise the voters, and tally the votes. Each year, the council shows freshmen around campus, conducts the magazine drive to augment class treasuries; organizes dances to cl ' max nights that w:t ness exciting home football games; charters busses for out of town sports events; sparkplugs the jubilant fcs tivities of I lobo Day; collects clothing donations dur¬ ing Bundle Week; highlights the students ' social life with the Christmas Dance; treats students to the free and fun-packed All School Partv each January; aids the school nurse with administering tuberculosis skin tests to the seniors; co-functions with the Bellevinois stab to produce the annual Donkey Basketball Game; and carries out the school ' s safety program of fire and storm drills. Initiated by the council this year was College Night, an important event for upperclassmen. T hrough panel discussion and conversation, college students gave their opinions on how to succeed in college. Since 1951 the council has conducted each semester a financial drive to support the student body’s adopted son, a fifteen-year-old Greek boy named Kostakis. I leartwarming letters from Kostakis inform the student body of his family, education, hobbies, and gratitude for our support. Initiated by the council this year was the adoption of Y(x Kyui Sook, a five-year-old South Korean girl. Kostakis and Yoo Kyui Sook are informed of Township Nigh School with annual copies of the Bellevinois. The student council not only plans many activities for the students, but it teaches the value and necessity of democratic living, imp rtant in adolescent years as in adult life. Mr. Kunze discusses Council activities with Jerry Beekman, president, Jim McKelvey, chaplain, Barbara Bollmeier, recording secretary, Stephanie Brunner, treasurer, and Dev Murphy, par¬ liamentarian. Senior council member, Susie Widman, waits to lend a helping hand to freshies who are voting for class officers for the first time. An excited Hobo Day crowd gat.

One of the most active groups on campus, Little I heater produces seven plays each school year. In addition, it conducts a Thespian initiation ceremony, gives parties, sees plays in St. I ouis, and has a ban cjuet for members at the end of the year. The work of the theater members is sometimes long and tiring, but always rewarding. Each person is re¬ quired to work on one production for entrance into the group and on one other production besides the Little Theater play to retain his membership. Even though the group has a membership of w ' ell over a hundred, each one is kept busv in the production of the plays. The various facets of theater on which the mem¬ bers work are sets, props, costumes, publicity, pro¬ grams, tickets, and ushers. Members choose the com¬ mittee they enjoy the most and work on it for each production. Mrj. Bryant, faculty sponsor of Little Theater, applies make up to Ann Bosworth before a Freshman Class ploy, while Lee Ann Kuehn observes. 109 Praised be thou, Oh Lord, our God, chants Mr. Frank during the Hannakuh ceremony. ‘My name is Tom, Tom Cat, mimics Anne Frank, as Peter furiously tries to control his temper.

Miep, and Jim Fischer as Mr. Kraler, was under the direction of Mrs. Bryant and Mr. Pleasant. The Diary of Anne Frank is the story adopted from the actual diary of a Jewish girl during World War II. Forced to go into hiding in Amsterdam, the Franks suffered and met hardships for three years. Then the Green Police found them and they were carried off to concentration camps. In February, a forty-minute cutting of ‘‘The Diary” was taken to district speech competition at Staunton, and won first place in drama. 110 ’Act well your part. There all To become a Thespian is the goal of Little Theater members. As a 1 hespian, one learns about advanced theories of make-up, lighting, and stagecraft, as well as costumes, properties and sound. He also helps to teach Little Theater members the “ropes.” Troupe No. 369 is chartered by the National Thespian Society and is sponsored by Mr. Pleasant. 1 his year 1 hespians organized and sponsored the first Thespian Variety Show, which w ' as held before the All School party on January 22. Given to raise money for the District Thespian Conference, the show ' consisted of a series of acts using the theme “Lullaby ol Broadway.’ Numbers were dene from Broadway the honor lies. —Pope shows such as South Pacific, Oklahoma, and Annie Get Your Gun. I hespians from the area converged on Belleville on May 7 for the district conference. The day s events included discussion groups on aspects of theater, such as publicity, staging, make-up, and lighting, as well as a cutting from the senior play. The members of Thespian Troupe No. 369 are Lewis Bosworth, president, Brenda Spies, vice-presi¬ dent, Faye Kessler, secretary-treasurer, Sarajo Dunck, Susan I lermann, Dev Murphy, Steve Peeck, and Joe Ganschinietz.

This year for the first time the Sophomore class presented a chil¬ dren’s play, The Steadfast Tin Sol¬ dier. It was directed by Mrs. Quack enbos and the staging was done by Mrs. Milligan. The play was pre¬ sented in two matinees for grade school children and one evening performance for the public. The play is the story of a little boy who receives a new ' set of tin soldiers and decides to abandon his old toys. Finally, when the life of one of the tin soldiers is threatened by the jack-in-the-box, Garoo, the toys become friends.

On the third of October, three one-act plays were presented to the public by the Freshman Class. The first play, directed by Mrs. Bryant, was en¬ titled Pretty Girl Wanted,” and featured John Irwin, Roger Krick, Terry Yocks, Lee Ann Kuehn, Ann Bos- worth, Susan Streck, and JoAnn Griesmeyer. The story dealt with the attempts of a film company to find the perfect girl for a starring role in a new movie. It was so difficult to pick one girl from the many who tried for the part that the director drew a name out of a hat. He chose the ugliest girl of the lot! The climax added a sparkling touch to the play. Mrs. Bryant was assisted by Steve Peeck, the stu¬ dent director. JoAnn Griesmeyer, Roger Krick, Ann Bosworth, John Irwin, lee Ann Kuehn, Susan Streck. Men Don ' t Change. Men Don’t Change was directed by Mrs. Quack- enbos, with Sarajo Dunck student director. When a young man, plaved by Clyde Brasher, came hack from a stay in the Argentine he found that an old and dear friend, Ross Munroe, had married and had a child. The friend and his wife, Tanna Siler, were crazy about the baby and the fuss that the couple made over their precious child was too much for him. To escape the agony of listening to fond parents he left, and took with him his former sweetheart, Sally Golden- ! erg. Clyde Brasher, Sally Goldenberg, Tanna Siler, Ross Munroe. The Monkey ' s Paw. The Monkeys Paw, under the direction of Mrs. Milligan, included in the cast Robert Schlueter, Diane Chapman, Ebon Sommers, Harry Sterling, and Jerry Watham. The play was about a monkey s paw which had the power to grant three wishes. The paw ? came into the possession of the White family. They wish for money to pay off the mortgage. The wish is ful¬ filled, but at the expense of the life of their only son. As a second boon, the mother wishes for the return of their son from the grave. The dramatic climax brings a knocking at the door. The mother uses the third wish to return the son to the grave and the knocking stops. Susan Hermann was the student director of this mystery.

For their final drama presentation the senior class staged “First Lady ’ by Ka therine Dayton and George S. Kaufman. The play, a sophisticated comedy in three acts, was presented on May 6. This timely play takes place in our nation’s capital and takes us into the world of senators and ambassadors and their wives. The plot of this delightful story concerns two women, each of whom tries to get her husband into the White I louse so that she might become First Lady. Their plans for success backfire and make for a happy, but unexpected, ending. The play was directed by Mrs. Milligan and produced and staged by Mrs. Bryant. Lewis Bosworth served as student director. Seniors say au revoir with “First Lady” 114 David Bingheim, David Tell, Bill Blank, Bren¬ da Spies, Henry Muhlhauser, Bruce Hart.

Girls’ Intramurals Include Sports from Darts to Soccer. Team spirit, cooperation, and physical fitness are the goals of the girls sp rts program. P.E. classes are planned so that each student is given the opportunity to develop skill in a variety ' of sports. Ciirls start the year with softball, tennis, soccer, or archery. As the weather gets colder, the girls move inside to participate in group games, such as volley- ball and basketball. To supplement this active pro¬ gram, there is a thorough course in body mechanics. Upperclassmen are given a chance to take modem dance, in which they learn basic steps for interpretive dancing. For a period of time girls are introduced to square dancing and play recreational games of darts, shuffle board, and ping pong. Near the end of the long win¬ ter months they look forward to warm weather and the invigorating outdoor sports. 115 Row 1: David Ringle, Sandra Hambleton, Donna Gent, Sarah Bishop, Joel West.

A deserted stadium provides the setting for a Marching Band rehearsal. Standing at attention, the majorettes and the band wait for the signal from Mr. Kirsch. Marching music makers win applause. The clash of cymbals and a flash of red and here comes the BTI IS marching band. The band adds color and spirit to many school and off-campus events. It is made up of ninety-two band members, one drum major, seven majorettes, and a nine-man color guard. Mr. Kirsch, the director, who has been with the band for two years, works with the hand first hour each school day. To he prepared for all football games and parades, the band members often don boots and overcoats and go into the stadium to practice in rain or cold weather. Freshmen entering the band must realize that there is more to being a band member than just playing an instrument. They have to be willing to help the other members make money for such things as new uniforms, new instruments, band trips, and parties, and also to attend the many extra events at which the band performs.

There were two colorful additions to the band this year; the drum major, Steve Peeck, and the color guard. Mel¬ vin Underwood and Wilbur Nold are co-captains of the color guard. Seven majorettes follow the color guard and add pep and spirit with their snappy routines and colorful uniforms. Making up the rules and devising money-making projects is the job of the band council. The following officers head the council: Jim Burnham, presi¬ dent, Gene Kroupa, vice-president, and John McCullough, secretary. The peo¬ ple who represent the marching band on the council are: seniors, Steve Peeck and Carol Schwend; juniors, Ann Roe- ver and Steve Crook; sophomores, Charlotte Prater and Rochelle Ruja- w ' itz; and freshm en, Christine Baitz and 1 larry Sterling. Majorettes in uniform display one of the techniques that won them a first place rating in competition.

In addition to the large music groups, the music department sponsors the ensemble and sextettes for small groups of voices. Tryouts are held each year and appointments are based on individual merit as well as on the way in which the voice blends with the group as a whole. If you happen to be in the cafeteria during the 6A period you will most likely find yourself listening to the harmonies of the Girls Sextette, rehearsing with Miss Baer in the music r x m. In their smart blue sheaths they are a welcome sight at assemblies and civic appearances. The echo of eight male voices from the choir room 3rd hour on Wednesday indicates the Boys’ Ensemble is prac¬ ticing a rousing spiritual, a folk song, or a con¬ temporary number under the direction of Miss Baer. In their blue crew neck sweaters they have appeared before many civic organizations in and around Belleville. This year, because 1 of the popularity of the en¬ semble and sextette, a second sextette has been formed. These six girls and their accompanist meet with Miss Baer during the 6B period to rehearse for contests and public appearances.

This year, sixty-two of approximately two hundred chorus members were chosen by Miss Baer to participate in choir. 1 he choir rehearsed daily during third hour. Each section had a special time during the week to perfect its voice part before the songs were sung in unison on Mondays and Fridays. 1 he Christmas Vesper Service was presented to the public on December 6. I he members ol the choir had decorated the auditorium that afternoon and in the evening were greeted by a large audience. 1 he annual Christmas assem¬ bly was presented to the faculty and students the week before Christmas. At the choral festi¬ val, held this year in Cahokia, the choir joined choral group from schools in the area to put on a program for the public. The Spring Con¬ cert, a formal affair held in May, was one of the musical highlights of the year. Special music was provided by Miss Baer and the choir for the annual baccalaureate service on June 5.

Another trip sent them to Illinoi s State Normal University in Normal, Illinois. Representatives of the group attended the state convention in Chicago. Miss McCann and Mr. Eller, their faculty advisers, accompany them on their trips and guide them in their weekly discussions and projects. One of their social events during the year was the Christmas Tea, given to honor the BTI IS faculty. Over one hundred members of the faculty enjoyed the hospitality of Future Teachers at the afternoon social hour. Guests at meetings of the club included speakers from various fields of teaching. Mr. E. M. Pritchett spoke to the group on the teaching of the handicap ped and Mr. Clarence Blair, St. Clair County Super¬ intendent of Schools, discussed the profession of teaching. The annual banquet w f as held in the spring as a climax to the activities of a busy year. Miss Morgan seems to be selling Mr. Allyon on the idea of a cup of tea at the Future Teachers ' party for the faculty. 121 Team touches the top. The first debate teams in the history of the school have won honors in tournaments and in the sectional and state contests, bringing home several trophies and other rewards. Each year debate classes in schools throughout the nation pick a debate topic for the year. Debaters then go to work, reading up on the subject and debating on it in class. This new course, open to juniors, teaches fundamentals of speaking and debat ing, and helps students to gain confidence and to learn how to back up arguments with facts. Row I?

A relatively new group on the campus is the Future Nurses Club, organized last year. Early this year the club obtained a national charter. Membership is open to all students above the freshman level. The purpose of the club is to acquaint girls interested in nursing with the scholastic program necessary to enter training either as a professional or a practical nurse. At the meetings held regularly after school, various types of specialities in the field of nursing are discussed bv the club sponsors, Miss Morgan and Mrs. Garcia, both of whom are registered nurses. During the year field trips are taken to area hos¬ pitals. This year the group attended an Open House at Deaconess Hospital in St. Louis. Officers this year were Pam Patterson, president, Joyce Miller, vice-president, Judy Vollmer, secretary, and Lynne Hirz, treasurer. 122 ' Doing to learn - learning to live - living to serve ’ “Learning to do — Doing to learn — Earning to live — Living to serve” — this, the motto of the Future Farmers, represents the characteristics which the club tries to develop in its members. They accomplish this bv working together in varied activities. On Decernher 5, Danny Lemen, Jack Browne, Steve Albert, Mel Zielinski, and Larry Eckert attended a sectional parliamentary procedure contest in Sparta. The club members also attended public speaking contests, land judging contests, and poultry and grain shows. In order to increase their treasury this year, mem¬ bers of the club worked hard, picking corn and selling pecans and garden seed. Since a girl cannot become a member of the FFA, the group has given Mary Haynes, who has taken courses in agriculture for two years, the title of Chap¬ ter Sweetheart.

Budding numismatists compare collections. The Coin Club, sponsored by Mr. Miller, is a rela¬ tively new organization on the BTI IS campus. During its two years the club gained a membership of over thirty students. A feature of many of the bi-weekly meetings were attendance prizes. If a member had paid his dues and could answer a difficult question concerning coins, he would receive a rare coin as a prize. Sometimes auctions were held with members bidding for coins they w f anted or needed to help com¬ plete their own collections. By trading coins with each other and studying a coin’s history ' , members learned much about America’s history and economic system. Enthusiastic students in the stadium watch the cheerleaders and learn new cheers at the first football pep assembly. 125 Pepper-uppers fire Maroon spirit. It is easy for us to sit in the bleachers and simply open our mouths and yell with the cheerleaders, but it takes ten times more effort to actually step out of the stands and on to the floor to lead the entire student body in a cheer. Each girl gives up much of her time and even more of her energy if she is chosen as a cheerleader. She must give up many extra activi¬ ties and attend practice each week to stay in con¬ dition. She must also give up that special date on Friday and Saturday nights, at least until the game is over. only took to cheering, but to kicking field goals, danc ing, and singing. Yes sir! And the best part of it is that they are good at all three. At pep assemblies they have given us extra surprise acts in addition to the regular cheers. We also acquired a mascot during basketball season. She made her debut in the pep assembly on Januarv 30. She had on her cheerleading outfit and after each cheer she sat and applauded with the rest of the audi ence.

Girls, girls, girls, — sixty-four to be exact — all jump to attention when the drill leader yells, “Group — fall in.” For one solid hour every Monday evening this group is in full swing, practicing left and right faces, fancy dance steps, wagon wheel turns, and a variety of other steps which add up to precision marching. After three years of being called the Girl ' s Drill Team, the group this year adopted the name, “Bellc- videars,” suggested by freshman Roger Hervatin. The Bellevidears earned money to buy new uni¬ forms of red kilts and tarns, white sweaters, knee socks, tennis shoes, and gloves. Besides providing public entertainment at football and basketball games, the girls gave an all school dance in April. Later in the season they performed the traditional May Pole Dance.

Juniors jam the Mississip Miss. “Mississippi Mischief,” the story of a turn-of the centurv showboat’s journey from St. Louis to New Orleans, was the title of the Junior Jam play, present¬ ed on November 20. Written by a committee of jun iors, who spent long weeks of slave labor on the work, the “spectacular” filled the auditorium with a capacity audience. After the play, directed by Mrs. Guthrie and Mr. Pleasant, the crowd attending the Jam moved to the corridor of the Science-Library Building. Shoving and pushing in the narrow space, they bought hot dogs, competed in the cake walk, threw darts at balloons, and participated in all of the other stands of a carnival. Then they found their way to the Boys’ Fieldhousc for the dance and the coronation. After a ceremony of presentation of numerous candidates.

J4zr I With cheerleaders in the convertible, the football team, the floats, and the student body line up for the Hobo Day parade to the square. Peppy BTHS prepares to meet East Side. Hobo Day, the day before the Thanksgiving Day football game with East St. Louis, is the annual fes¬ tivity in which all B THS students join voices and hearts to shoot school spirit to the exploding point. After the first four hours of the day, students assembled in the gym for a pep assembly. The team was given encouragement from the excited group in the bleachers. Senior girls presented a traditional skit. This year it was a take-off on The Night Before Christmas , followed by the burial of Old East Side. Everyone agreed that it was the best weVe had for a long time. At the square, on the steps of the court house, an¬ other pep assembly was held. The name of the win¬ ning float was revealed after the secret judges had made their decision. Seniors won with ' Tip the Canoe and East Side Too.” Second came the Junior class with So Ends the Bloody Business of the Day.” As East Side heads roll figuratively on the Junior Class float, juniors scream enthusiasti¬ cally for victory in the Thanksgiving classic. Black-clad pallbearers and mourners of the senior girls’ assembly skit bear ill-fated East Side players to their last resting place.

Lettermen honor Football Queen and court. These are the guys who represent RTHS in the extra-curricular sports program offered by the school. They’re the boys who take the spills, make the bas¬ kets, hit home-runs, break track records, and keep the tennis balls going back and forth across the net. To honor the feminine on campus, the Lettermen each year crown a football queen at the Letterman Dance held on Thanksgiving evening. The boys nom¬ inated five senior girls, and the entire student body was given a chance to vote for one of these five girls. The winner was secret until the coronation. The lights were dimmed and a hush filled the entire cafeteria. The four maids walked down the aisle and, as the last maid came forward, we all knew that the 1959 Football Queen was Miss Barbara “Susie” Wid- man. She was crowned by retiring queen, Jan Muser, and presented with a football which had her title written on it. The only thing the entire evening lacked was the ringing of that Victory Bell which we “forgot” to bring back from East St. Louis with us.

Our Maroons battled all the way. New ideas were injected into some of the major sports this year. The football boys found this to be true when they met the first of August to start train¬ ing under the leadership of their captains, Ed Con¬ stance, center and Bill Newbold, quarterback. There were occasional gripes, but on the whole everybody w ' orked harder than ever before to get in shape for the season which would be over much too soon. When the season officially began they met their new coach, Mr. Frala. Coach Frala instituted a type of training program that was new to BTHS. He took football into the classroom, and drilled and tested the players until they became familiar w-ith the new ' offenses and de¬ fenses. Then on September 18 they started with a bang and dealt Roxana their only loss of the season, 21-7. After being edged out in a home game by Cleve¬ land with a 13-19 score, they bounced back and whip¬ ped the Staunton powerhouse, 32-0. The next week they beat Wood River in the first conference game of the season, 12-7. Then the Maroons went into a losing streak, which unfortunately lasted the rest of the season and which was helped along by some bad breaks and injuries at the most decisive times. Even though they finally got Brestal (22), he got away from this guy. Schott (51) and Felvey (25) get set to smear this Flyer. Even though the scores don’t show it, the huge crowd that followed the Maroons all season will admit that the team plaved a lot of real good football. One example was the East Side game, when our team held East Side, who had just beaten Wood River, 60-0, to 6 points in the first half, and almost scored once. James “Red” Kennedy, halfback, was chosen for a position cn the all-state team this year. Other mem¬ bers of the team who were honored for this season’s work were Paul “Babe” Rousseau, fullback, who was named on the all-conference team, and Terry Dill and Bill Newbold who were nominated for the all¬ conference team. The last event of the season was the election by the team of next years captains and the selection of the most valuable player of this year. The captains chosen were Jerry Lacy, tackle, and Dale Kuhn, end. Terrv Dill, a hard-hitting guard on offense and a Stahl (35) and Schlueter (85) are going to help Sowman (34) ground him.

The boys, began working out on their own in July for this season, because they knew that they would have to run hard this year as a team to win their meets. Then, following a vigorous training period, the harriers, coached by Mr. Harpstreit, ran a record to be proud of, despite the fact that there w f ere only two returning lettermen, Kent Ratay and Gary Orr. They started off with a win over Dupo. Then they were edged out by Cahokia, but outran East St. Louis for a victory. Placing sixth in eighteen schools com¬ peting in the Belleville invitational, the harriers show¬ ed they were going strong. After losing to Alton the boys bounced back to finish sixth in a field of thirty- five at the Beaumont invitational. Following that fine showing came a victorious effort over Granite City. After losing to Collinsville and placing second among Edwardsville, East S t. Louis, and Belleville, we ended the season on a victorious note by winning a triangular meet with Granite City, Wood River, and BT1 IS. The junior varsity squad had a fairly good season this year. They defeated both East St. Louis and Dupo and gained valuable experience to help insure a win¬ ning varsity season next year.

Basketball was another major sport that saw a new face this year. Late in October the basketball team met and started training under their new mentor, Coach Turner. The boys responded to the new ideas and methods introduced in practice by soundly de¬ feating their first opponent, McKinley, on December 4. This opening game victory was followed, however, by four games in which we were defeated by very slim margins, including an overtime loss in the Wood River contest. Following a victory at Freeburg we entered the Centralia Holiday Tournament, where we copped the consolation championship. To do this we had to avenge the earlier loss to Wood River and defeat the traditional powerhouse, Herrin, a team never before beaten by a Belleville squad. In the ensuing games the close decisions continued. We outshot East St. Louis for a victory, but in turn were edged out by Edwardsville and Alton. On Janu ary 13 we began play in the Dupo Invitational Tour¬ nament where we enjoyed another highlight of the season. Although losing the first encounter, the boys began to jell and swept through the remaining tw’o games with victories over Jerseyville and Cathedral to take the consolation championship, their second of the year. The winning ways continued as w ' e met the fine squad from Maplewood, Missouri, on January 20, and squeaked by with a five point victory, but came to an end with a defeat at the hands of the team that went on to win the sectional championship, Granite City. Following this came another victory over Wood River and losses to Collinsville and East Side. On February 12 w ' e again avenged an early season loss by soundly defeating Edwardsville. After a defeat by Alton, the team suffered a crushing blow when four- 140 Coach Jerry Turner glances at the camera while giving Richard Koch and Chuck Risser some pre-game instructions. year letterman, Mel Patton severely sprained his ankle. T he effects of this injury were felt for the remainder of the season. With our big gun out of action, we lost games to Eisenhower of Decatur and Griffin of Springfield. Mel returned to the line-up lor the Madison contest, and his presence helped to win a hard-fought Maroon victory. However, with Mel not at top strength, we were unable to cope with the hot-shooting Cathedral Crusaders in the city cham¬ pionship game. This contest was followed by a loss in our opening game of the regional tournament. Although disappointing in the won-lost column, the Row 1. Mr. Lauder, Les Mueller, Dave Crain, Randy Hinkle.

Another highlight in the year was the good showing of the Maroons ' freshman and sophomore teams. The freshman squad lost only one game all season, a defeat by Collinsville, that was avenged with a decisive victory later in the year. With such young talent coming up and with only two of the top eight varsity men graduating, the BTI IS bas¬ ketball squad bids fair to follow’ the mediocre season th s vear with a verv fine season next year.

Early in March the track and field was dotted with our boys stretching their limbs in preparation for the coming track season. Practicing outdoors in clear weather and in the gymnasium during rainy weather, the boys soon were whipped into fighting shape by the competent instruction of Mr. Ted Harpstreit, head coach. In the track opener, April 5, the boys’ hours of g uelling practice resulted in a victory over Wood River by a 65-53 score. Township also won in the junior division, 54% to 49%. The varsity took firsts in eight events. In the 100-vard dash, Pat Aaron and Cliff Bullock sprinted over the cinders to take first and second respectively. In the 220-vard dash, Aaron and Dennis Forsythe chalked up a first and a third. A third was taken in the 440-yard dash by Kennv Randle. Bill Woods, in the 880-yard run, took a third.

Bill Our Slugging Varsity, Because of adverse weather conditions the baseball squad was forced to play their first game with onlv one outside practice under their belts. However, this con¬ test against Freeburg began the season on a high note as we pounded out a resounding 11 to 0 victory. Backed by three hits from Randy Hinkle and two each by Mel Patton and Bill Hurst, Tom Tippett, Les Mueller, Jerry Dill, and led Harvey pitched well, allowing the Midgets only two hits. On April 5, the Maroons went down to defeat at the hands of Webster Groves of St. Louis. Overcome by a seventh inning Webster rally, the Maroons had only one bright spot in this game, a tremendous home run by Patton. We bounced back against Waterloo, however, to score a 7 to 1 victory behind the five-hit pitching of Mueller. Continuing the gcxxJ hitting the Maroons were victorious in a slugfest with Cahokia. Patton Tippett Wittlich Sowmon Baum short stop pitcher third base outfield pitcher Some are leaving. Many are staying. Everyone showed his muscles as the boys powered eighteen hits, including homers by Art Baum and Ilinkle, two triples from Mike Wittlich, and a four for four day from Mel Patton. Against Madison we had another good day at the plate, getting twelve hits in a 13-3 romp over the Trojans. After two losses we defeated Edwardsvillc with the 5 to 0 shut-out hurling of Jem ' Dill. Against Dupo on April 22 we needed a sixth inning rally to salvage a close 6-5 contest. To climax a full week of baseball which included one game on each of the three previ¬ ous days, we won a double header on April 23, by scores of 6 to 2 against Griffin of Springfield and Row 1: Mike Corcoran, Mike Polites, Charles Budde, Joe Oplt, Terry Harvey, Gary Fritzinger, Ken Kaeser, Row 2: Don Brewer, Jim Geary, John Cook, Gary Hascall, Tom Fritzinger, Gary Mueth, Ken Agne. Mr. Lauder watches his sophomores practice. 5 to 1 against Murphysboro. Pitching against Griffin was Tom Butts, who made his first starting effort of the season, while against Murphysboro Baum and Tippett shared the mound assignment. The big hitter for us that day was again Mel Patton, our top hitter of the season, as he pounded four hits in seven at¬ tempts at bat. Following the great season last year with our state tournament team, we faced a good deal of rebuilding this year since many of our regulars graduated. Head¬ ing this years team was a well rounded pitching staff and a powerful hitting department that more than compensated for sometimes weak, however usually sound, fielding. This year, with over seventy candidates reporting for the freshman-sophomore squad, this team split into two groups, with Coach Jerry 1 timer taking the fresh¬ men and Coach Fred Lauder supervising the sopho¬ mores. In the first three games played by the sopho¬ more squad, they were defeated once and were vic¬ torious twice, one of the victories occurring in a con¬ test with the Cathedral junior varsity.

Five returning lettermen, Bud Hollman, Joe Rousseau. Phil Kam mann, Ed Bour, and Willie Wimmer, plus some new¬ comers, shaped up a winning combination. This spring sport, because of its easy-todearn rules, the limited amount of equipment needed to play, and the stimulating exercise gained, is increasing in popu¬ larity and attracts more netmen and supporters.

Although it has not yet attracted a large spectator following, the enjoyment and relaxation gained in golf drew more competitors to the links this year than ever before. Beginning on April 5, practice sessions, under the supervision of Coach Heinz, were held two or three days a week at Westhaven Golf Course. At 3:30 on practice afternoons, the golf course air was thick with golf balls, and on non-practice days most of the boys went to the course on their own. to try ' to improve their technique. This years squad was headed by three returning lettermen, Bob Limbach, Bob Maurer, and Nicky Buesch.

Yeatts Bill Blank Is Your School Getting Its Dollars Worth? There is a very practical method for getting more for your dollar in yearbook printing. This practical method rests on the obvious fact that the success of any yearbook depends far more on the care it receives than on the price paid. By giving you careful guidance in planning your entire book — format, layout, photography, and typography — we can help you to improve your book’s editorial and photographic value. Care¬ ful guidance can save vou many dollars sometimes wasted on unnecessary pages, p x rly chosen photographs, or undesir¬ able frills.

A non-partisan organization, the People-to-People program was suggested by President Eisenhower in September 1956. The late John Foster Dulles summarized the purpose of P.T.P.: You have got the job, and others like you, of making it clear throughout the world that freedom is the preferable form of society.

Mr. Norman Semmelroth, Record Printing Com¬ pany. for advice in printing the book. Mr. Harry Swain, Central Engraving Company, for help with photography and engraving.
