Belleville Township High School East - Yearbook (Belleville, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 296 of the 1976 volume:

This section has been designed to highlight the memories of the first ten years of Belleville East. When Belleville Township High School East opened its doors to 1600 students and 80 faculty members on August 30,1966, the ad¬ ministration became responsible for the creation of unique procedures and tradit¬ ions. Sportsmanship, co-operation, enthusi¬ asm, and pride were encouraged in the Lan¬ cer name and in BTHS East. The seven and a third million dollar por- ject reflects the long hours of work put into it by dedicated in¬ dividuals. The 1966-67 student body consisted only of the freshman, sophomore, and junior classes. Since the ma¬ jority of these students transferred directly from the Belleville West campus, it was con¬ sidered only fair that the senior class be allowed to graduate from West. The three under¬ classes, however, made the adjustment re¬ markably well. They im¬ mediately became in¬ volved in school activi¬ ties as they initiated what we still know as the traditional LANCER SPIRIT. Mr. H. J. Haberaecker, Superintendent of District § 201, speaks at the Belleville East Dedication Ceremony on March 12, 1967.

It wasn’t ten years of study that made East the school it is. And it wasn’t really the system. It is student involvement which supports the life of the school today. That loyalty to East can still be found on campus through bike-a-thons or clean¬ up days, club meetings and concerts, sports to fine arts. Each student who contributes his own individual time, effort, and ideas helps to build a strong student body. EAST’S STUDENTS by Susie Brierly After four months of research, editing, and writing, the scrapbook” section emerged; I had compiled the photographs and facts which were particularly Interesting to me. As I read through back Issues of school newspapers and yearbooks, I couldn ' t help wondering what students were like when Belleville East first opened. I felt that the best way to answer that question was to get first hand Information from a series of Interviews with former East students as well as faculty members who have been here since 1966. Through this article, I hope to make you, the yearbook reader, aware of changes which have occurred over the past ten years. Today East students have a different appearance than students of ten years ago. Their clothing, manner of speech, and length of hair surely prove It. The physical aspects of today’s students have certainly come a long way in the past decade. What about the mental aspects of student life? Has a similar change oc¬ curred In students over the past ten years? Have personalities and opinions changed along with the dress code? If so, has It changed for the better or the worse? Terry Blaies, psychology teacher, believes: “Students have changed like society has—maybe a little slower. I don’t think we can put a blame on anyone. Today’s students are more open and realistic.” Principal Charles G. McCoy feels that students have changed In regard to respect. “There’s been a change in the total attitude of people and lack of respect for public buildings and public officials. A dis¬ respectful attitude throughout the country has come Into being since 1966.” Billie Chaney, French teacher, replied: “They’re different! They have different goals. Grades used to be more im¬ portant. You used to ask for harder things . . . and you got them.” She believes that many students attend school merely to be with their friends. “They want to be here because this is where everyone else is.” On the other hand, Michael Asbury, English department, disagrees, “I believe students are working harder.” Accor¬ ding to art teacher Ronald Isom, “Students are more creative and more sophisticated. I’ve never had trouble with discipline, even though students are more Independent and you have to justify everything . . .” Many changes have taken place since Belleville East opened in 1966. A student issue of earlier days was the dress code, which required female students to wear knee length dresses. Male students were not encouraged to wear blue jeans and a belt was required. Long hair and beards were not permitted for students and even frowned upon for faculty members. A former East student, Mike Sullivan, now student teaching in the art department, says “Yes, Belleville East has changed. I attended school here during 1967 and 1968. You could wear levis—but they didn ' t have holes in them. No beards. No long hair.” These rules gave way in 1971 to what we know as our current dress code. Bea Godwin, a school librarian for the past decade, has come in contact with the majority of East’s students—past and present—at one time or another. “The students looked better when the dress code was in effect. They liked it. They wanted it,” she commented. “They’re different. They have different goale. Qradee used to be more Important •i In 1966 Belleville East was a hectic place to say the least. “Everybody was new to the school. They came together pretty fast—especially by the second year, said Mr. Blaies. Assistant Prin¬ cipal O. C. Thomas was Dean of boys as well as Student Council sponsor in those early years. “The first day was very hot,” he reminisced, “There was no air conditioning. At that time there were 1600 students on campus. During the lunch hour they all went up to the cafeteria—books In arms. We could not serve the students with only two lunch lines. We were backed up 30-45 minutes. It was turmoil and confusion. That day was one of the most atrocious experiences of my life.” The school’s furniture and supplies were im- complete for some time. Lockers didn ' t arrive until mid-year. Other equipment was also late in arriving. Elnor Gabel, foreign language depart¬ ment, recalls a few of the bad memories. “I would never want to open another school in respect to our department. Our textbook material had been changed, so we had to im¬ provise for three weeks. It was January before students had lockers. There were no wastebaskets for some time. The student body was relatively dissatisfied. Many of the staff who transferred from West, were too.” 20 Terry Blaies Psychology Billie Chansy French Bea Godwin Librarian SHOW BIG CHANGE During our trip down memory lane, the subject of vandalism was brought up by quite a few of those faculty members interviewed. Mrs. Chaney explained, “When school first opened, rooms never had to be locked. Nothing was ever taken or destroyed. There’s so much destruc¬ tion now. I think it’s because everything is ‘cheap’. Kids think it’s all paid for, so it’s their right . . . Before lockers arrived, kids had to stack their books underneath the stairs in the cafeteria. No one touched them. There was no theft, really, and not so much smoking. Drugs were non-existant for the first five years.” Assis¬ tant Principal Thomas stated, “Vandalism is not as great as it was a few years back. Kids have more leisure time, and they sometimes have nothing better to do than break a window.” Mr. McCoy ended his comments by saying, “I enjoy my work very much. A high school prin¬ cipal who doesn’t enjoy his work should probably not be a high school principal. It is rare in a person’s lifetime to start a new school from scratch. I’m sure there have been many mis¬ takes, but there is a certain satisfaction that goes along with it all.” “The students looked better when the dress code was In effect. They liked It. They wanted It.” Exactly what does education mean in today’s society? When asked his definition of education, Mr. Asbury replied, “Learning in all its various forms, Learning is important—much more so than grades.” Mrs. Gabel defined education as “a program whereby students learn how to get along in society.” “School is just a tool,” ad¬ mitted Mr. Blaies, “Education is a learning process that continues throughout life. School will hopefully enhance it.” O. C. Thomas stated, “Education is the ability to make decisions and to better prepare for life.” What is education? Mrs. Chaney answered in one word, “Inquiry.” “The development of an individual so that he ' s able to function In society”, said Mr. Isom. At the present time, student participation in extra-curricular activities is a somewhat con¬ troversial subject. Kenneth Schoenebeck, Ger¬ man Club sponsor, believes that “student apathy” is a problem, as does Fred Hott, year¬ book advisor. When it comes to school publications (the yearbook and the newspaper) student participation is at an all-time low,” Mr. Hott commented. On the other hand, according to Assistant Principal Douglas Bush, “A very significant portion of the student body con¬ tribute to and in turn benefit from our well- rounded student activities program.” Has the number of students who go out for sports increased or decreased in recent years? Do more or less students support the sports ac¬ tivities? Coach Mike McGinnis, a faculty member for ten years, replied, “The situation is pretty stable. As for athletic participation, the answer is the same as always—sometimes more, sometimes less. It operates like hills and valleys—fans always show up when you’re hav¬ ing a good season. The number of kids who try out for sports is about the same, but there are less kids who stick with it in the final analysis.” Zam®h Logan Leaner Long felloe H r Frothlngham ickens Pickens a Hewlitt cwlitt g«e Morris Under studi Autumn not only brings colorful leaves to the East campus, but the beginning of another school year with the chance to make new friends, start new classes, and enjoy another Loyalty Week . . .

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again because there is no ef¬ fort without error and short-comings; who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions, spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knpws in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who have never tasted neither victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt ’75 GOLF VARSITY GOLF TEAM Back row (l-r): Mike Gurkin, John Wagner, Guy Philips (captain), Ken Ludwig.

Six players of East’s 1975 foot¬ ball team were chosen as All-City Team members. They were Mark Mueller, Mike Schlosser, Rick Mauch, Jim Sobleralskl, Jeff McCar¬ ty and Doug McCrary. All- Conference honorable mention went to Ron Koch, Jim Schaeffer, Mike Schlosser, Rick Mauch, Mark Mueller and Mike Mercurlo. Mark Mueller and Rick Mauch were also named as All-Metro players while Jim Sobleralskl and Doug McCrary were selected as All-Conference. One player was honored as second team All-State, that was Rich Mauch .... Mark Mueller was named honorable mention. Mark Mueller and Rick Mauch were head-coach Dean Renn ' s co- captalns for the ’75-’76 season. This season’s record Is the result of the talent and dedication that each team member brought to the sport. It seems that If the team hadn ' t stubbed Its toe In the middle of the season by losing to Belleville West and Alton, It probably would have made a fine showing In the State competition. Coach Renn an¬ ticipates another good season, If not better. In 1976.

' 75 - ' 76 BASKETBALL “Basketball is a game of run-and-shoot; jump-and-grab, per¬ petual motion and sur rounding hysteria.” Leonard Koppett “The 1975-76 Lancer basketball team was one of the finest in the 10 year history of Belleville East. It was a team that featured great balance, depth, and good scoring ability up and down the line-up.” HEAD COACH DON OTNESS jville East basketball team for 1975-76 closed its y winning three-fourths of their games. With three starters, the Lancers had a lot of varsity ex- this year. During the season, East defeated the ims in the conference such as Collinsville, Alton, d Edwardsville. Don Otness, in his tenth year as II head coach, attributed the team’s success to tors, such as, team effort, individual practice year- dication to the team, and an aggressive defense. ’s varsity squad included seniors Kyle Fink (5 10 ) Alan Hursey (6 3 ) at forward, Evan Jones (6 3 ) at id forward, and Joe Slimack (6 1 ) at forward, were Gary Haverman (6 ' 6 ) at center, Andy im (5 8 ) at guard, and Doug McCrary (61) at The Lancers’ assistant coach in Dennis Bechtold. _ Jr- ut the season, the East Lancers had spirited lers and fans cheering them on to some spec- ctories.

The Belleville East Wrestling team for ’ 75-76 was considered among the top teams in Southern Illinois. With only a few returning varsity wrestlers (including co-captains Boyd Breeding and Daniel Murphy), Head-coach Urban Baum was faced with a problem of balance and depth on the varsity squad. Wrestling varsity this season for East were: Brad Miles (Jr.) at 98 lbs., Boyd Breeding (Sr.) at 105 lbs., Steve Koch (Jr.) at 112 lbs., Mitch Perlich (Jr.) at 126 lbs., Daniel Murphy (Sr.) at 132 lbs., John Cange (Sr.) at 138 lbs., Mike Mecurio (Sr.) at 167 lbs., Ron Koch (Sr.) at 185 lbs., and Steve Miller (Sr.) at heavy-weight. Even with an over-half rookie varsity squad, this year’s record was great. The team also took First place in the Mascoutah Tourney and Fourth in the Granite City South Holiday Tourney. Belleville East would have liked to send at least as many wrestlers to State this year as last year, six . . . the most in the state of Illinois. Coach Baum, however, ended the season hoping the wrestlers will continue to do well and represent their school at State.

This year there are 60 members ot the Spanish Club. The Spanish Club sponsors many extra curricular ac¬ tivities In addition to the Mexlcan-Amerlcan folk-dancers who hsve performed around the Metropolitan St. Louis area for three years. Through the folk-dance group, the club hopes to show the contribution made by the Latin American ethnic group to the cultural history of the United States. The motto of the Spanish Club Is “Service to school and community,” and through the folk dancers the club has been able to achieve this goal. The Spanish Club was formed In 1966 when the school opened. Mr. Roy Carpenter became the club’s sponsor three years ago and formed the folk-dances In the fall of ’73. Already this year the dancers have performed at St. Clair Square, St. Elizabeth’s hospital, First Presbyterian Church, Washington University, the Spanish Club plnata party, and the third annual fiesta at Scott Air Force Base. The 150 students and parents who attended this year’s fiesta enjoyed a complete Mexican meal, strolling guitarists and an hour performance by the folk dancers.

Therefore ninety percent of our work should be aimed at achiev¬ ing control — that is, knowl¬ edgeable racket work.” John M. Barnaby COACH MIKE THOMPSON “Tennis—The game of the ’70’s. A very demanding sport requiring the ability to stroke a ball from many different places on the court. A player must be able to handle low balls, high balls, wide balls, fast balls, slow balls, top spin, under spin, etc.” ’76 BASEBALL “The mound is ruled by the law of the jungle. Beat or be beaten. The pitcher’s weapons are cunning, finesse, intense concentration, and confidence. His tools are his pitches, be it a fast ball, curve ball, or the jet age “slip pitch.” He has to get one man, the batter. He has the help of eight other players, but the pitcher has the ball.” Joe Garagiola “Baseball Is a great sport for emphasizing Individual AND team effort. Whether at the plate, or on the base, or in the field, there are Individual battles that must be waged; and when Its’ pitcher vs. batter, It’s truly a one on one situation.

As part of an annual tour of Illinois high schools the group, under the direction of Mr. Alan L. Horney, played an hour assembly featuring Belleville’s Tom Blrkner on trumpet and vocals. This was the first opportunity many students had to hear live Jazz, and they found It quite different from the rock they’re so used to. “Hey, they’re pretty good . .

That’s exactly what 52 freshmen physical science students did. As a class project to prove Newton’s law of motion, the class, under the direction of Mr. Lauren Hollinberger, first calculated the height of the firing before the event, and then compared the figures to those of the actual height. On the average the rockets flew 60 meters or 180 feet off the ground. They were graded for sturdiness and good looks.

Approximately half of the student body are involved in some type of extra-curricular activity, with over half that number participating in more than one organization. “Friends”, “Experience” and “Just plain good times” are the most frequent reasons given for joining a club.

Red, white, and blue. Flags waving. Eagles flying. Soldiers saluting. The American bicentennial. Right: Well, not quite. Before the official bicentennial celebra¬ tion started, the staff was throwing around ideas about how to relate the 200th celebration to Belleville East. Several questions came up: Were students already “bored” with the bicentennial? More than likely. Would historical facts and figures turn away the student reader? Probably so. There had to be some way to relate the bicentennial to a school year without playing up or put¬ ting down the event too much. But, then again, why the bicentennial at all? Haven’t students had enough of it? Why not focus on the school’s history? Afterall, this is East’s 10th birthday. So, instead of one theme, there were two: our country’s 200th birthday, and our school’s 10th. With both themes having the same subject, the solution was simple. Combine them both into one book under one main theme, and title it “Almanac of ’76.” The flip-flop idea was used to easily separate the two sub¬ jects into a bicentennial side and a school side. Through “Almanac of ’76” I hope we’ve brought a new facet of the bicentennial and 1975-76 school year into focus.

In order to avert a possible two-day blackout, the mayor scheduled an emer¬ gency meeting t his morning with Lewis Witherspoon, spokes¬ man for the lamp lighters. Emotions flared at the negotiations. There was a glimmer of hope when the mayor’s face lit up with a bright idea.
