We sat for another hourg we listenedg we discussedg we ready we wroteg and we drew. Yes, the bell in the hall had no beautiful tone, but it led us to some of those pleasant experiences of school - the classroom. sawaffwa . sp tfllsl' xml I Aaron Brien William Malinsky Robert Cutlell Eugene Rodemich Robert Cuvitl Edward Ruddy administration and staff hear endless chatter VVill you sign my absence slip? Con- stantly rings in the ears of Mr. Malinsky, Principal, as he begins his busy day at eight o'clock in the morning. The top chiefs, Mr. Catlett, Mr. Rodemich and Mr. Brien, can always be found moving about the building and their offices organizing the Comanches in their performance of tribal duties. What scholarship do yo-u think I should try for?y' is an endless phrase that reaches the ears of Mr. Ruddy, guidance director. Ile does, however, try to please everyone and usually does. Good morning, Cahokia Commonfields lligh School, vibrates through the office from the telephones juggled hy Mrs. Bess, Mrs. Vogt or Miss House. These efficient office ladies perform endless taslxs each day, and each day would not seem complete with- out Mrs. Vogt announcing the latest bulletin over the P.A. system. As the Comanches gain wisdom, the school supplies dwindle until the clutter of coins prompts lVlrs. McConnell to again fill our arms with equipment for thc new hunt.

Through their gui- dance our school has gained a reputation of producing students who can become good citizens of the future. ,lust as a broken machine is taken to the repairman, so do we take our troubles and difficulties to the administrators and Board of Education. A nine-member Board, although their 'names are not too often mentioned separately, has displayed high educational ideals and capable leadership. A record would he sound- less without a phonographg so would we without the Board to which we can voice our complaints and grievances, if necessary. Perhaps the Comanches do not often realize the important part the administrators and Board play in our school lives and activi- ties.

We, the seniors of 1957, found that with the honor of being a senior went the requirements of a senior. Our previous three years had been one of following-following the seniors before us-but now we were the big warriors. Knowing that our actions would leave an indelible mark upon the underclass- men, we strived to do well. As freshmen we knew it was the responsibility of seniors to run the clubs and direct the activities. We looked up to them for almost everything, and it was through them we learned. Our sophomore year will hold a special place in our book of memories. As freshmen we had given the semblance of courage but this faded during initiation. We were not really frightened but instead I'ea'ized how wonderful it was to belong and be part of this vast Comanche heritage. We truly acquired adult study habits and be- haviors as juniors. This was important because we were given the responsibility of giving the junior and senior prom. Most of the money for this was acquired from our newly-established concession stand, our trading post. Here people traded their money for Whatever wares we had available. Now we are seniors. It seems like only yes- terday, but it was many moons ago that we first set foot on these friendly grounds and today we are leaving. Happily We look at what lies ahead, and sadly we remember what we must leave behind -four wonderful years well worth remembering. Bill Bualte, John Levin. Ronnie McEnlire, Gary McBride, Cecil Comte, Bob Sims. we juniors polished the rough spots - smooth sailing ahead Our generation of hard-working Juniors were re- warded with a successful prom and the satisfaction that comes with a job well done. As juniors we were active and were the back- bone of many clubs and sports. We remember selling magazine subscriptions and working at athletic games which were among the many things We did to raise money for our class. We remember our Homecoming float, a model of a little red school house, a flustered school teacher and her class of unruly students. Cahokia held its second mock residential election P that year. Here, too, we Juniors were busy making osters or re arin olitical s eeches for our favorite P P P 8 P P presidential candidates. Aside from the activities we will remember our junior subjects and teachers. Mr. Froman will be remembered for his experiments with explosives and the various concoctions he produced. Miss Huffman had a gem of a quotation which she related as belonging to a college student: If I'da know'd I coulda rode, I woulda went. Parlez-vous-francais. If you were in the French class conducted by Mr. Mayer, you should be able to. And American History was made a pleasure by Mr. Wirth's friendly method of teaching. We liked his favorite word, twict. Does this sound familiar? The jug did greet the jury. Typing students may recall having made such a mistake. And did you know as -l- ba : Ca -l- bl C212 - ab -l- b2D. Neither did advanced algebra students until Mr. Sachs saturated our minds with algebraic designs. just one penny became a popular phrase in general business class and juggling the books be- came a fad. That was our junior year. Next year, as Seniors, our duty will be to inform and guide the new Juniors in performing their duties as Seniors before us have done. as Comanche braues we beat the wardrums Milton Mayfield, Floyd Massena, George Korte, Roberl Clifford Greer, Richard Goodwin, Arfhur Gardner, Jack Heil, Don Karvinen, Janel Gilmore, Janef Jerome, Judy Hileman, Coclls, Nedilh Griffin, Mary Roelhemeier, Harry Economou, Sharon Barbara Gray, Doris Grass.

The department stresses the teaching of typesetting and printing while they produce handbills, programs, tickets, etcetera. Th' IS year the department added to its equipment fi new l' . inotype machine and a large press. Kenny Edmondson, Mr. B. H. Franklin, Larry Pirtle, Henry Rial. Students are encouraged to express themselves through creation of artistic designs. The art department gives them a chance to do a bit of this in paint- ing, sculpturing, drawing and working with the crafts. It is rather obvious to the passerby that students enjoy this type of activity. Bob Brees, Jerry Groves, Bob Karvinen, Carole Becker. ll0lI1ClH21lilIlg is a popular subject lor the Comanche girls. llere is a de- partment enclosing the type of activity and art that the girls expect to put to use in their future homes. ln this de- p irtment are displayed the talents of needlework and the preparation of food, the aroma of which filters through the building and creates Comanche hun- vcr pangs between meals, Rosemary Wright P , al Monlerusso, Sharry Belt Barbara Green. a variety bf subjects Cahokia's senior high girls may en- roll in an office clerical or a secretarial class in which class they are expected to become proficient in the operations of various business machines, in the use of office procedure, in the use of shorthand, and in their ability to type. During the second semester many of them are rewarded for their work by getting an opportunity to be among the employed group during the after- noon of each day. Norma Gisher, Helen Weiss, Peggy Kuyken- dahl. The science department this year can take credit for providing a few bits of excitement in their experiments and developments of scientific formu- lae. For those interested in the sciences the Comanches can expand their sci- entific knowledge through the study of physics and chemistry. Experiments are carried on at frequent intervals making this not only an educational class but an interesting one as well. Bill Huhhs, Dove Borwig, Ozella Cobb. The typewriting room could well use a stop-and-go light. We stop and go, go and stopg and when in a dif- ficult position we are given a caution signal. Students hope to master typing well enough to do some of their high school homework and that homework that may come later in college. Others enroll for the purpose of using the typewriter on the job. Most of us ad- mit it is a worthwhile achievement to know how to use the machine. Christine Sloebel, Jackie Zorzeck, Ronald Dingo, Andy Bobinsky, Joyce Sanderson. -.v-v--v--...- .

The gym was enclosed in blue paper on which was painted trees, rainbows, rabbits, and flowers. Dorothy Schwegler, escorted by Bob Verbeck, was crowned queen at 11:15 p.m., May 12, by Doris Bushing, retiring queen. Occupying a throne was hardly new to Dorothy since she was a Prom attendant last year. The Prom attendants this year were Sandra Thurwalker, escorted by Frank Kofrong Betty Tay- lor, exorted by -lim Wallace, Pat Burns, escorted by Gary McBride, and -ludy DeB0urge, escorted by Larry Tolbird. Prom guests were entertained by Kathleen Carlisle, flower girl, by her attempts to get her escort, Mickey Franklin, to dance with her.

Tradition - a blue-and-white cover on the schools yearbook - was adhered to once again. The publishing of the Colzoclzron was rendered difficult because of an uninitiated staff and two new advisers. There were many confusing moments, but the staff - mainly underclassmen - and the advisers, Art Mills and Ed Wirth, struggled through. Tuesday afternoons from three to four found the staff mem- bers hard at work. The professional advice of lVlr. llarry Swain, engraver, and Mr. Norman Semmelroth, printer, was greatly appreciated by the staff. lVliss lona Masten, former adviser to the staff, spent several hours helping steer the yearbook toward completion. Since the spoken word is not long remembered, it is the function of a yearbook to translate the spoken words and actions into a written history. The 1957 Calzoelzron staff tried to record impartially all the happenings of this school year. Standing: Mike McDaniel, Mr. Wirth, Sponsor. Seated: Sharon Duckworth, Mary Simmons, Verlin Pendergruss. l you hear from us bi-weekly Publishing a high school newspaper was no easy job. Ask Mary Simmons, editor, and Sharon Shaffer, co-editor.

Sports are a very common source of sound around Cahokia. In football many groans are heard as the results of calisthenics at the start of the season. Cross Country is characterized by the huffing and puffing of a winded team. The continuous thump of ball meeting floor makes basketball unique among our sports while track becomes pronounced by the shuffle of cinders as toes dig for the push. Last, but not least, is the resounding crack of ball meeting bat in baseball. These sports, we believe, compensate us for our time spent by giving us experiences and challenges that are not present in each day's activities. Students are encouraged to win, but an even tougher experience is that which comes from having to accept a loss. On the following pages we have recorded Caholcia Common- field's sports highlights. Q?fKliQ . A42 XS Ti .t comanches shout signals After hours of mental toil in the classrooms, most of us are in 'haste to get home to a new kind of activity or to our special method of relaxation. But there are other students at Cahokia Commonfields who are a bit more eager for exercise and demonstrate that eagerness by participating in Cahokials most en- tertaining fall sports - football. Although most boys who attend the practice ses- sions and play in the contest yield to the fun and sport of football in their own behalf, many commen- dations should be delivered to them for their effort and willingness to build a team that represents Ca- hokia. We are pleased to be represented by those boys who add a bit of flavor to the routine of school life. Western Military Academy vs Comanches Victory started the season for the Comanches when they defeated the Red Raiders of Western Military Academy with a I3-7 score.

Mcleansboro vs Comanches The Comanches were edged out of their Home- coming win by the Mclseansboro Foxes who promoted a score in their own favor of 20-7.
