At that time the present Senior Class was enrolled at the C. T. H. S. and was promptly put through the preliminary exercises that go to make up a full-fledged student: namely, a few setbacks and a few experiences, with the city water system as operated by the upper classmen. A class meeting was held, at which Henry Gillaspy was elected president, Julius Meier, vice-president. Thelma Drenkhan. secretary, and Leola Simpson, treasurer. Mr. Sherretz and Miss McKnight were chosen to be the directors of this mass of mental ability and pep and to guide it through this step of life. The social activities for the year may be summed up as a trip to Deterding’s Park, a Christmas Party and a hike to Miller's Farm. The erstwhile freshies on their return to school in the Fall strutted about in their new role— that of being Sophomores. At the election of officers the following were honored, Charles Walters, president: Helen Birch, vice-president; Gladys Bertram, secretary and treasurer. Miss Wells took the place of Mr. Sherretz as one of the sponsors. The social activities were taken in hand by the group of young ladies that made up the Cherokee Campfire. They gave a series of parties and banquets. They also caused much consternation in the school by the introduction of a vocabulary entirely home-made which baffled even the English teachers. As Juniors the class returned to school and a meeting was immediately called so as not to lose any time. Officers elected were as follows: Orville Gaskill, president: Irwin Oberneufermann. vice-president: and Lillian Dervalis. secretary and treasurer. Jadda” Gillaspy again took his place in the spot-light and was elected as the most popular boy of the school. The social season opened with a Hallowe’en Party at which all attendants enjoyed themselves immensely, despite the many thrills and scares that usually accompany such parties. In due time May arrived and with it the crowning event of the year at which the Juniors entertained the Seniors at a reception and banquet. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated to appear as a Spanish Garden in which the Seniors were given a suitable send off with which to proceed on their journey through life. This event closed the year of ’26-’27. As ambitious and industrious people we returned to our classes in September. 1927. We knew that as Seniors we must set the example for the under class-men and also knew that it was our last chance to make a mark for ourselves which could be used as a goal by all subsequent classes. Miss Carolyn Clayton was elected president with Fred Steck as vice-president and Gladys Bertram secretary and treasurer. Miss Renfro was chosen as sponsor of the class to succeed Miss McKnight. At Christmas the annual Homecoming took place and a happy evening was spent in entertaining the old acquaintances of the C. T. H. S. Thus ends the History of the Class of 1924-1928 which is to be graduated soon and separated never more to meet as a complete body again. It is with sad thoughts that we are reminded of the inevitable: but the memories of our high school days, their joys and sorrows will be with us forever.

Thirty-one History of the Junior Class I here are certain forms of vegetation that spring up in the Autumn, wheat, various grasses, and other green things. The Junior Class was a crop of that kind. It sprang up at the high school, mushroom-like, almost over night. But its members differed much from mushrooms in color. They were all very green-more like the new sprung wheat and grass. This new crop came to notice early in September of 1925. It was consoling to remember that it is the green things that grow, and we have been literally filled with growing pains through the intervening months. There is promise now that with another year's training and pruning at the hands of a kind and indulgent Faculty, we shall be permitted to blossom forth in full luxurience. Entrance day found one hundred twenty-four pupils enrolled as Freshmen. Early in the year, we felt the need of class leadership and the following officers were elected and served efficiently and faithfully during that year. The officers were. Walter Clare. President: William Guse. Vice-President, and Josephine Gauen, Secretary-Treasurer. Our sponsors were Miss Querinheim and Miss Horner. Our only indulgence in the social world this first year was a Hallowe’en party in October. Still strong in numbers and ambitious, we entered our Sophomore year. This year we chose the following officers: Elmer Casperson. President: Violet Gillaspy, Vice-President, and George Krite. Secretary-Treasurer. Up to this time our class had not grown as strong socially as it had grown mentally and physically. Many of us were mentioned in the Chanticleer during the year because of high scholastic standing. This our Junior year, finds us decidedly more developed. We are surely becoming a most important part of this good old school. Promising offers, chose to run in 1928. They were John Monroe. President: Walter McWhirter. Vice-President: Lois Wood. Secretary and Ruth Eckart, Treasurer. At the first of this year. Miss Horner, one of our sponsors left the school and in her place the Juniors placed Miss Gladys Williams by their unanimous vote. Early in the term, stress was laid upon the fact that much money was needed to meet the year's expenses and accordingly our chief class aim was to plan ways and means of raising sufficient funds. The first month, a picture show, The Better Ole”, furnished amusement for the public as well as a substantial amount for our treasury. In October a rummage sale was given which netted us as much money as the picture show. Plans are well under way for a Junior Class Play, to be given sometime in the spring. Many Juniors have distinguished themselves as members of the staffs of the two school publications, the Chanticleer and the Kahokian. This spring two of our members, one our president, John Monroe, and William Guse. were honored by being presented with the school honor pins. We are very proud of them indeed. We are leaders in school athletics, having three of our members on the first basketball squad and many letter men in other branches of athletics. One more year of growth will bring that reaping time—our graduation from this our beloved school and it is with much regret that we must now look forward to the beginning of the end.

Thirty-five Sophomore Class History September 7th in the year of 1926 was a red letter day in the lives of some hundred and thirty-five boys and girls. It was upon this day that they began their careers as students of the C. T. H. S. The logical procedure was to organize the class, so a meeting was called. The meeting commenced amid much hilarity, but out of the chaos arose order and Misses Eckart and Kyle, two new teachers were chosen as sponsors of the class. After much spirited voting, Gus Ponelcit emerged victorious as President. The other honorary offices of Vice-President, Secretary and 1 reasurer were bestowed upon Tony Klobuchar, Everett Beckman, and Bernice Followill. respectively. The first meeting was such a ' howling'' success that a second was called soon after and a party was decided upon. The party came off in due time and everyone, cooks and dishwashers excepted, enjoyed himself immensely. The girls of this class were very ambitious young ladies and organized two Campfires. The Tawanka group was under the auspices of Miss Kyle and the Apclachi group was under Miss Williams' leadership. These groups were very active and during the course of the year contrived to take many hikes to such remote points as Caseyville. Maryville and the like. Although they are possessors of the name of Campfire girls it is a much discussed question as to whether any one of them could really build a campfire. The class of '26 does not lack athletic ability, having Red Poneleit who won letters in football, basketball, track and baseball, in addition to being chosen as all-Conference forward in basketball and who was the star twirler of the baseball team. Ed Bailey. Henry Dervalis. and Owen Kitchen also added to the athletic laurels of this class by winning letters in football. Bailey has developed into a wonderful basketball player and has aided Collinsville much in the winning of the basketball championship of the Conference of 1928. The fall of 1927 found the erstwhile timid Frosh of '26 back in school again as the sophisticated Sophs of '27. At their first meeting they elected Bill Look, president of the class. Evelyn Krause was elected vice-president: Nona Hughes, secretary and Jim Gray, treasurer. Another meeting was held and a party planned, which later took place. Everyone present managed to enjoy himself. On February 16 the ambitious Sophs gave a benefit picture show at the Miner’s Theatre. The Legionaires in Paris” did their bit for the Junior banquet of 1929. This concludes the history of the present Sophomores, to date.

Thirty-nine Freshman Class Flistory Reader: 1927-1928 This is a compendious account of, and a somewhat descriptive narration of the events, distinguished characters, crises, and like momentous occasions given in their chronological order, and which transpired A. D. 1927-28. This is, in short, a history of the Freshman class of that date. The opening of school on September, ’27, witnessed the largest agglomeration of Freshies. (Note: a vulgar term applied to Freshmen by upper-classmen.) in the history of our institution. iMethinks these lines from The Walrus and the Carpenter'' are very applicable: ' And thick and fast they came at last, And more, and more and more— The principal. Mr. Arendt. oft' designated as A. E. A. and the ' iron man (Note: Probably derived from Oliver Cromwell, The Man of Iron .) instructed them as to the rules, regulations, customs, routine, and kindred inconveniences. and bade them make themselves homely (at home) as they were now due for an education and its attendant miseries. 1 he first meeting of the Freshmen took place in October. Mr. Summit and Miss Weber were chosen sponsors, and the election of officers took place. Arthur Borsch was elected president of the ensemble and did so badly as his extemporaneous harangue that 1 deem it detrimental and derogatory to this history to include it. T he other officers were Leo Shimkus. Nell Gamble, and Virginia GaskiM. 7 bey were applauded and mid huzzahs were vested the responsibilities of their different offices. STIRRING EVENTS Some few weeks after the aforementioned meeting Hallowe'en arrived as per schedule and the Freshmen had a party at the school, an evening party: we learneds would call it a soiree. And how, the pedagogues cast aside their austerity and tripped about the floor with the Freshmen, and there was a general good time. It so happened that midst the merry-makings and revelry refreshments were served. This was not bad in itself, but it seems that the pumpkin pie was. 7 his is a quotation from the Chanticleer: '7Ve wonder how many Freshmen ate their pumpkin pie. This alludes, I think, to the quality of the pie. After consulting the Freshmen on the subject it appears the majority of those epicures cast their portions into remote corners, etc. After the most strenuous and exhaustive research, analytic and synthetic, it is concluded that the most plausible explanation is that the subject must have been baked at a temperature of 274)4 degrees F. instead of 275 degrees F. NOTED PERSONAGES I he Freshmen receive the recognition of having had two men on the football team who received letters. These two are Anthony Jud Judikinas and Leo Shimkus. Jud hails from Maryville, that thriving metropolis situated between Edwardsville and Collinsville. Shimkus. on the other hand is a local prodigy, one of us corn-feds . Having glossed over the most momentous details, characters, naming the noted and omitting the notorious as it were, and digressing in a somewhat desultory manner, I think this history is nigh compiled, for the rest refer to the doomsday book and compare notes.

Mrs. Larson. Sarah Sargent. Evelyn Patek. The Campfires A good many years ago a few girls in High School formed an organization, and adopted as their constitution the Creed of the Camp Fire. In so doing they established a precedent that has been carried out by all succeeding classes. Each class has one or two groups of Camp Fire Girls. At the present time there are seven groups in school; each class having two groups except the Seniors, who have only one. Camp Fire was planned to take care of the out-of-door time of girls and each year it has been a custom for the particular groups in this school to go on a camping trip during the vacation months. These trips, besides affording an excellent opportunity for Nature study, and the development of skill in the arts of camping, are real pleasure jaunts. All the girls who have gone on these camping expeditions will always remember the many good times had. and the humorous incidents that occurred. The money to defray the expenses of these trips is earned by the girls during the school year. It is earned in various ways. Selling candy at athletic games, by bakery sales, and rummage sales. By skating parties, etc. The Camp Fire Girls have proven themselves helpful to the needy at Christmas and Thanksgiving by distributing baskets of food and other articles. A Stunt Show was given by all the Camp Fire Girls in January to defray the expenses of their section in the Kahokian. Each group gave a short stunt, and as an incentive, a prize was offered for the best one. The Cherokee, the Senior group, who entertained with a stunt entitled the Brilliant Bandanna-Ballet, carried off the honors. The Freshman Class has two Camp Fire Groups—the Adahi. whose guardian is Miss Weber: and the Wetomachick. whose guardian is Miss Shattgen.

Its purpose is to stimulate interest and develop ability in the broader fields of the subjects introduced in the general science course. It further introduces the study of modern developments in the scientific field, and promotes research work in problems which are a constant source of wonder to the students. A grade of 85 or above in General Science class work is required for membership. According to the plans, a member may remain in the organization until he graduates. This will result in an accumulative membership. Monthly meetings are held. The programs consist of talks by representatives of local manufacturing industries, or short discussions by members of the club on current topics. A talk given by Mr. Bartells of the Lead Plant on the reduction of lead from its ores, was typical of the outside interests presented. This was given at an evening meeting, and was supplemented by a social Christmas party with an exchange of gifts which all enjoyed very much. The club hopes to equip a room to be used for meetings and recreation, with some of the best scientific magazines available on file. The officers of the organization are: Paul Roper, president: Raymond Jennings, vice-president: Leo Shimkus, secretary-treasurer. The charter members are: Mildred Altman. Ralph Klenke. Rosie Rostello.

The Royal Razzers The order of Royal Razzers is a boys organization that was created at C. T. H. S. for the purpose of supporting the various athletic teams of the school. This support is mainly in the form of organized cheering. The organization has made itself most conspicuous in its en masse attendance of the basketball games in the school gymnasium. It sometimes furnishes some form of entertainment between the halves, but the order was not organized to furnish entertainment. Its main purpose is to give moral support to the teams. This year the Razzers. in their purple and white uniforms, attended every basketball game held at C. T. H. S. They did their best when it came to cheering the team on to victory. The Royal Razzers came into existence in 1923 when a group of peppy students, with the aid of Miss Cullen, a former teacher, got together and formed the organization. A charter was drawn up. and certain restrictions and qualifications were set down for those who wished to become members. The order is composed mostly of Juniors and Seniors. There is also a number of Sophomores admitted, but no Freshmen. The candidate for admission must have a clean record, and his grades must be good. When Miss Cullen left the school in 1924. D. R. Sherretz became the sponsor of the organization. He put new life and pep into it and has done much to make what it is today. Each year the Razzers give a banquet honoring the letter men of the school. There are speakers and other forms of entertainments at this affair. The banquet given this year was quite a success. Next to the Junior-Senior reception, it was the most important social event of the school year. Forty-eight Forty nine . rttutttrs pultlcrnlicuto The Kahokian Staff 1928 Back Row: John Monroe.

The Kahokian “The Kahokian is entering its second year as a feature of the C. T. H. S. Last year The Kahokian won first place in the Southwestern High School Press Association, so the staff has worked very hard this year to maintain the standard set for them. At a Senior meeting held early in October. Mike Armon. a member of the art staff of last year’s annual, was elected Editor-in-Chief and Walter Witte was chosen Business Manager. These boys were the most efficient that the Senior Class could supply and we feel that they have proved themselves worthy of the trust which was placed in them. The remainder of the staff was to be chosen by the two electives, aided by Mr. Sherretz, sponsor. Students from all four classes were chosen, the largest number coming from the Senior Class. Work on the Annual was begun early in the year. Individual pictures of the upper classmen were taken first and then the various group pictures. Miss Williams. Art Instructor, whose diligent work last year was a large factor in placing The Kahokian of '27 in the lead, was again put in charge of the art work for the annual. Last year it was announced by Mr. Sherretz that the continuation of the Annual as a feature of the school, would depend upon its reception by the student body. In the spring, when the Annuals were issued, any doubts that had been in the minds of the subscribers as to whether or not an Annual was a good investment were cleared away. The students, realizing that the Annual was a big success, showed their desire for a '28 edition by a large increase in subscriptions. The wish that was expressed by the class of '27 that the classes following would continue to publish The Kahokian has been fulfilled by the class of '28. lifty-two The Chanticleer Staff 1928 Third Row: John Monroe.

A few weeks after school opened the staff was chosen and soon the paper made its appearance. Its appearance was eagerly expected since everyone was anxious to see if it were to be the same good old Chanticleer. As a publication, the Chanticleer has improved over last year. There are more students on the staff, and the Chanticleer Box has been overworked with contributions by students not on the staff. It is no easy task to get a lot of real” news each week from the happenings at school. For that reason nearly all schools publish their paper semi-monthly, but the Chanticleer is published every week. We are sure no one would prefer to have the paper become a semimonthly. If our conclusion be true, C. T. H. S. students should continue the good work of contributing something worth-while to the paper each week. The school paper is a bond between the students and the school. A fuller realization of this fact will come when the student has left school. Now fondly he will then read over his old school paper! In an atmosphere reminiscent of his good old school days.” basketball games will be replayed, humorous incidents lived again, etc. The school paper is necessary from an educational standpoint. It affords budding journalists an opportunity to develop their skill, and educates the student body to the idea of laughing with people, not at them. School spirit is also developed by a school paper. We feel that the Chanticleer is eagerly read and appreciated by the teachers as well as the students. Let us hope for the continuance of the school paper in the years to come. It is one of the outstanding needs of any progressive high school. Fifty three Kahokian Michael Armon, ’27. 28.

Fifty-four § ar4al Fifty-five Fifty-seven JOSEPHINE GAUEN MARY MENI Dorothy Willoughby Maids or Honor Fifty eight Social Events of '27 and 28 At the head of the social events is placed the Junior-Senior Reception of twenty-seven which was a decided success. The Gymnasium was beautifully decorated to represent the deck of one of those ever romantic Spanish Galleons. The upper classmen were well entertained by an orchestra and a trio of singers and dancers. The event came up to all the expectations and has formed an important leaf in the book of our treasured memories. Next, the Cherokee Camp Fire proved they were old hands at the art of giving successful parties when they dated up the social calendar with a radio party at the Simpson twins' home. The purpose was to receive the returns from the big Dempsey-Tunney bout; the result, to open the way for a long series of social activities. On October tenth following, the Faculty was entertained at the home of Miss Renfro at a wiener roast, at which each present contributed his part to the entertainment. The next week was an outstanding one for its offering toward interesting social affairs. The first was a skating party under the auspices of the Cherokee Camp Fire. A picture show presented by the Junior Class featuring Syd Chaplin followed closely. It was a humorous sketch that was entertaining to all who saw it. Then came the Freshman party. Of course, everyone wasn't invited, but what if they weren't? You don't always need an invitation. And anyway the doings of the Freshies have always, and will forever prove of interest to those who profess to be higher up. T he Dramatic Club not to be outdone by the Green Ones'' sponsored a party that proved to be quite different from any other ever held. It was a cabin party held at Cuba Pond. I he fact of its oddity alone was enough to insure its success. After the football season, Coach and Mrs. Larson entertained the lettermen on the football squad at their home. Card-playing and a sport intelligence contest were the feature games of entertainment for the evening. The Senior Camp Fire Girls always come in for their share of a good time, and they surely got it in the form of a party where they were so delightfully entertained at the home of Coach and Mrs. Larson. J he annual Home Coming of twenty-seven proved to be the most successful of years. 1 he program was especially well planned and conducted. It consisted of interesting speeches by the former teachers and students of the school, a one-act play, and was concluded with a number by the Senior Camp Fire. I he president of the class of twenty-seven presented the school with a bronze tablet bearing the inscription of our aim and motto. Lunch was served and for the next few hours the guests were socially entertained. Fifty-nine The newly organized Science Club made the most of a Christmas party which the members gave at the school before Christmas vacation. The features of the affair were a gift exchange and a talk by Mr. Bartells. January Nineteenth the organized Camp Fires of the School presented a vaudeville. There was much competition between the groups, as a prize was offered for the best act. It was difficult for the judges to come to a decision because each Camp Fire presented a remarkably good stunt. The Seniors carried off the prize with a well trained ballet stunt, the dancers being garbed as tin soldiers. Their originality and initiative proved to be their chief asset. On Monday. February 11. the members of Tawanka Camp Fire were hostesses at a Valentine party given at the high school. Games, ending with a treasure hunt, caused the evening to pass rapidly. The table decorations and refreshments were in keeping with Valentine day. The class of thirty offered A1 Cooke and Kit Guard in a side splitting comedy Legionares in Paris as another social get-to-gether of the school. The picture was a scream from the opening scene to the fade out. Stating their reason for another party as a chance for an imitation, the Dramatic Club sponsored a social function at the High School. After the new members were made to toe the mark, ride the rails and put over the rods the whole club enjoyed a delicious luncheon served in the cafeteria. The evening remaining was spent in a very pleasant manner. On Thursday evening, February 23. the Wawanaissa Camp Fire enjoyed a kid party at the home of Marion Salel. None of the students in the C. T. H. S. can offer any kind of a complaint for lack of entertainment during the years twenty-seven and twenty-eight. Throughout the year on alternate Thursdays a program was offered by the students. Each class and organization proffered its part and not to be outdone the teachers rendered a splendid program also. The programs have been so arranged as to vary greatly and offer as entertainment forms of debates, plays, musicals and readings. During the teachers' program much talent that had hitherto been concealed was disclosed. In addition to these programs of entertainment, at regular intervals the student body has been entertained by the members of the Lyceum Circuit Course. The students continue to look forward to these courses which throughout the year have formed a part of the interesting social life of the pupils. And now the event that is being looked forward to is the annual Junior-Senior Reception of twenty-eight. The class of twenty-nine are an active group and hopes are high for a howling success to cork up the bottle that is already filled to overflowing with the social entertainments and activities of twenty-seven and twenty-eight.

The Thalian Guild, an organization of those who are interested in dramatics, revealed its talent by giving several plays. Among them was a one-act play, The Travelers. which was given shortly before Christmas, and a one-act play called Oh! Doctor.” This club is under the sponsorship of Miss Cuthbertson and Miss Sites. This is the first year that the Glee Club has been divided into the Girls' Glee Club and the Boys' Glee Club. They are under new sponsorship this year. The girls, in charge of Miss Schattgen. have exhibited their talents by appearing before the school, local clubs, and also at the Baptist Church. The boys, under Mr. Summit, who is assisted by Mr. Rommel at the piano, have also been popular. They sang before the school, before local clubs, at the Miners Theater, and at the Presbyterian Church. Mr. Summit has two special groups of boys in his club. One is called the Big Four. consisting of Norman Wittenfeld. Irwin Oberneufemann. George Blanquart, and Herbert Shelton. The other group is called the Little Four. consisting of Melvin Merrill, Louis Teichgraeber, John Monroe, and Lawrence Kncedler. In April the joint Glee Clubs of C. T. H. S. combined their efforts in the production of an operetta, William Tell. It was a huge success. Besides directing the Girls' Glee Club. Miss Schattgen has charge of the Violin Quartette composed of Lillian Brazis, Josephine Gauen. Norman Wittenfeld. and William Guse. These people are accompanied by Virginia Fulenwider at the piano. This group has made itself conspicuous by playing before the school, before local clubs, and over Station K.MOX.

Out of a total of nine games, the Kahoks won only two. tied two, and lost five, in a season filled with injuries and other mishaps. The greater part of the year was spent in building a team of young material around the nucleus of lettermen. A weak line hindered a speedy backfield which the year before could not be stopped. And as was said before, the year was disastrous in the way of injuries. The season started with a game at Litchfield, where under a hot sun. both teams played very poorly to a 0-0 tie. The second pre-season game, played here with Gillespie, resulted in a sound defeat for the Indians, 18-6. The Conference schedule opened with the East St. Louis game. The game, played in East Side, was hard fought and the Kahoks took a defeat from the destined to be Conference champions. The game with Alton played here also ended disastrously, 19-9. Collins of Alton made three touchdowns to win the game almost single handed. Jadda” Gillaspy scored the Indians’ 9 points on an eighty-three yard run and a field goal. The next game saw Wood River easily defeated in the first victory of the season for the Kahoks. Jadda” Gillaspy again ran wild, scoring three touchdowns and a field goal, or—all of the Kahok points. The next game, played in Belleville, found the team playing their best ball of the season. Merrill and Gillaspy each scored two touchdowns and Adomaitis tore off long gains. The following game, played at Granite City to celebrate their Homecoming, was lost 20-7. The annual game with Edwardsville ended disastrously, when, at the time when the Kahoks were set for one touchdown and perhaps several, a sea of rain poured down. The rest of the game was played in the blinding rain and mud. The score was 8-0. The final game of the season was played at Jerseyville and a disheartened team let the up-staters hold them to a 6-6 tie. After this game the Kahoks put up their suits thoroughly disgusted, but resolved to do better next year. There were seventeen lettermen, namely: backfield. Gillaspy. Merrill. Bailey, Adomaitas. Walters. McWhirter: linemen. Musso, Ullman. Dieu, Klobuchar, Dalton, Clare, Dervalis, Shimkus, Eckart and Judikinas. Next year's captain is George Musso, giant tackle and also basketball star. With Musso, Bailey, Klobuchar. Dieu McWhirter. Dervalis, Eckart, Clare. Shimkus and Judikinas to form next year’s team remains. This year marks the loss of some of the greatest players ever seen in Collinsville. Jadda Gillaspy. a great punter, open field runner and defensive man will be graduated. Merrill and Adomaitis, fast, knifing backs are gone. Dalton and Ullman, linemen who usually got their man are gone. Charles Walters, substitute back will also be graduated.

Seventy-six Henry Gillaspy Kermit Eckart Edward Bailey Walter McWhirter Stillwell Merrill William Byrkit Paul Klobuchar Robert Boken Seventy-sec: n REVIEW OF THE SEASON Basketball, the banner sport of C. T. H. S., enjoyed a banner year. The 1927-28 squad was the best turned out in many years. For the second successive year the team captained by George Musso. giant stationary guard, romped through the Conference schedules, losing only one game, that to Alton. The Madison County tournament was also easy until the finish, when Alton again proved Kahok conquerors. The District Tournament was easily won in four games of dull basketball. The Sectional Tourney, goals of Kahoks since 1926 was the end of the basketball season. The Kahoks lost to Witt, in the finals, who placed third in the State Tourney at Champaign, in a disastrous game, after trouncing the strong Carlyle team 41-18. The season opened disastrously. Greenville came to town and walloped the injured band of Kahoks in a disappointing game 31-16. The Kahoks came back with a 32-14 win over Mascoutah. which meant nothing except that the Kahoks had regained their old-time confidence. The two pre-season games aroused interest, and made things look as if they were going to be tough to go against. The Kahoks opened the Conference season with a 48-18 walk away over Jerseyville, weak sister of the Conference. All that was necessary to win this game was to walk down and toss the ball in the basket. After this game the confident Indians suffered a supershock. Alton, at the hilltop town, nosed out the Kahoks. 27-22. with a bombardment of long shots. The Kahoks. still suffering from injuries suffered during the football season, were unable to defy the long shots of Captain Nicolet and his Alton squad. During the Christmas holidays, the Kahoks kept in shape by losing to Marion, former Southern Illinois Champions. The Kahoks led 12-10 at the half, but Marion opened up in the last quarter, holding the Kahoks scoreless in the last half, to win 23-12. The Granite City team came to C. T. H. S., and a hard game was expected. But the Kahoks ran wild. It was before Granite's two team system was developed. and the Kahoks had no trouble making a 33-1 2 win. Then followed in rapid succession four hard games with conference foes, in which in every battle the Kahoks came off on top. Wood River was the first victim. A last half rally, although they had held the lead during the first half, really gave the Kahoks the game. The next game was with the most dangerous of Conference rivals. Belleville. The superb team work of the team and the way in which they stalled won this most important game 19-17. after Belleville's last half rally was cut short by the gun. East Side gave the Kahoks a real scare. Trailing at the end of the third quarter, the Kahoks suddenly sank a round of baskets in Schiele, of East Side, style to disappoint the Orange and Blue, 36-26. Edwardsville threw another scare into the Kahok camp. This game was almost an exact duplicate of the East Side game, a last half rally turning back Captain Young and his bunch. 32-22. Jerseyville afforded the Kahoks a sound rest, in which the Kahoks played listlessly. The score of this fracas was 40-13. Sweet revenge'' was gained when Alton came to try to win a second victory over the Indians. With a home crowd backing them, the Kahoks left Alton (minus their scalp-lock) far behind on the path of Conference standings. Seventy-eight Next the Kahoks journeyed to Granite City, where the thriller of the Conference season was played. The Granite City two-team system worked perfectly and an early Kahok lead was cut down to one point, with Granite coming closer to the basket all the time. The gun saved the game. The score of this battle was 37-36. The Madison County Tournament brought the Kahoks against Wood River, who was defeated in a hard battle. Granite City was easily trounced, and the second team walloped Bethalto. This brought the Kahoks up against Alton and Alton proved the winner. Again Alton with a barrage of long shots over the Kahok's defense pulled home the trophy, which the Kahoks had won the year before. The score of the final game was 25-22. Following the Madison County Tourney the Kahoks resumed Conference play. Wood River was trounced soundly for the third time during the season. The second team played the last half of the game. The Kahoks then went to Belleville to win the game, which would clinch the Conference title. Belleville showed plenty of spirit and fight, but a wonderful Kahok team swept through to the second consecutive Conference title in rather easy fashion 29-1 8. East St. Louis was played next and went home gloomily with the short end of a 27-12 score. The game was easy, the Seconds again playing much of the last half. Edwardsville finished up the Conference season with a thriller. Playing in the Edwardsville “cheese box gym, the Kahoks were forced to play their best to nose out Bert Young and Company, 21-17. Greenville was the next opponent before the District Tourney. The Blue and White won in an overtime game 33-3 1. in a thrilling, long shot affair. The Kahoks were beaten fairly, and this was the fifth defeat tasted during the season. The District Tournament held in the C. T. H. S. gym was literally walked away with by the Indians. Livingston. Wood River. Shipman all fell under the onslaught of the Indian tomahawks. These games were easy for the Kahoks. In the finals the Kahoks met Madison, who had won their way with an upset over Granite City. The Kahoks took their time with this game, stalling at every chance possible. Consequently, the light score of 17-8 was turned in to the scorers. But the Kahoks were proud. They had again reached the Sectional Tourney, the stepping stone to Champaign and State championship fame. The Kahoks played Carlyle in their first game and soundly established their right to a place in the finals, giving Carlyle a 41-18 drubbing. Every man on the team played his best and it looked as if the morrow night would see the Kahoks as Sectional champions. But. Witt, the other finalist, gave the Kahoks the worst beating they had suffered in years. 40-18. The first half of this game was tight, Witt leading 16-10. In the last half the Witt “lightning and dynamite broke loose, and played havoc with the Kahok defense to pile up a 40-18 score. The team of 27-28 played 28 games, of which it won 22 and lost 6. In a total of these 28 games they scored an average of 28 points a game, as compared to their opponents average of 1 5. It was a very powerful team, only two regulars who graduate, leaving four stars, about which to build up next year's “State Champions. For years to come this will be the goal of Kahok basketball teams, “State Champions.” Seventy-nine Eighty Eightu-one 1'rack Squad Top Row Coach Cornwell. Gus Martishuv Arthur Roc.

Every year that he has been in this school he has been connected in some way with its sport life. Last year he was given control of track and had a successful season with the first active year of track. In the first year of his coaching he had the satisfaction of seeing a large number of boys come out for the cinder sport and although inexperienced, try hard. Two of his men won their way to the State Track Meet and one of these won third in the Javelin throw. Every man on the squad worked willingly and hard for Mr. Cornwell and though it was hard work building a track team with no track to work on. Mr. Cornwell did his best and willingness and industry combined made a good start for the track of the future. Eighty-two GUS PONELEIT George Musso Ridgeway Fletcher Stillwell Merrill Track Track did not attract as much attention at C. T. H. S. as it might have due probably to the fact that we were not overly successful in this line of sport. It was practically necessary to build a complete new track team using of course such of the old members as were available. Only four letters were issued, one to George Musso, Muc”, for throwing away a perfectly good javelin. By the way. Musso placed fourth at the State meet held at Urbana. the latter part of the term. Stillwell Boots Merrill also received a letter, he earning his in the first meet of the year at Edwardsville. This was a dual meet between the two schools. Edwardsville winning the meet though we gave them some pretty close competition. Merrill placed in the 220 yard dash. Fletcher, another letter man. won the high jump and pole vault. He certainly seemed to have wings that day. Gus Red Poneleit also received a letter coming in on the broad jump and discus throw. There were many who did not receive letters who showed promise. Joe Marco, then a Sophomore, trained along with other coming runners for our school. Roe, also a Sophomore, showed some pretty good form as a middle distance runner. Herbert Shelton, a Freshman at the time, showed up well in the same distances. A Freshman, Leo Shimkus. should give each of these fellows a fight for his place, this season, however, judging by his work on the Junior High School squad. There are also some pretty good hurdlers for the coming season, among these Don Andrews. This boy is speed itself, but during the earlier part of the year tore up a perfectly good hurdle in spraining his ankle. Roe was pretty good when it came to the hurdles as was Betton-ville, who put some nice practice in this work. In the dashes Boots Merrill, Andrews. Phil Mann. Owen Kitchen. Joe Marco, and Bettonville came to the front as promising. Boots Merrill did some commendable work at several track meets which were attended. In the weights (shot and discus) Gaucn. Musso, and Poneleit were in the limelight though Poneleit was the only one to receive a letter in this event. In the javelin Musso, and Boots Merrill certainly showed where they came from by placing in every meet they were entered. Both went to the State meet at Urbana. although Musso was the only one to place in this meet. Merrill, however. gave a good account of himself.

In fact, the result was another triple tie between Collinsville, Belleville and East St. Louis. It was the second consecutive year that these teams had tied for the championship. The team was captained by Tony Malinosky, at shortstop, who played his position well throughout the season. On the mound worked Gus Red” Poneleit, probably the best pitcher in the Conference and certainly the best that ever pitched for the Indians. Gus Martishus. another pitcher, who worked in almost as many games as Poneleit is another to be remembered as a member of this banner team. The infield was composed of Jester and Judikinas, who alternated at first base, each holding his position well: Bob Boken. lanky third baseman, scooped them up from anywhere on the ground and with his swift arm threw many a man out at first base. Dominick Spagna. second baseman, was quick as a flash, and for his size, carried a mighty wallop behind the bat as demonstrated by a home run against Cleveland High. Ed Boeker held up the work behind the bat and was a hard hitter. He was assisted by Kermit Eckart who showed good form. In the outfield were Henry 'Jadda'' Gillaspy. at center and who with a great throwing arm held many a man on first base. Stillwell Merrill. John Klobuchar. and Roy Schultz made up the remainder of the outfield and usually alternated in the games. Each was a hard hitter and a good outfielder. The season opened with a defeat from the hands of Cleveland High School in St. Louis. In this game Spagna walloped a home run. but the game was lost through fumbles and poor base running. When the Conference schedule started the Kahoks easily looked the best. In the Granite game, they had things easy and breezed away to a 9-3 score. Wood River was trounced 13-0. in a game of base hits. O'Fallon was the victim of an 18-8 scoring spree. When East Side came to town it was thought a good game would be had at last. The East Siders were easier than the rest and went down to a 15-0 drubbing before the shots of Collinsville pitchers. It so happened, however, that luck would not last. Belleville, for the second year in succession, knocked the Kahoks out of first place. The game was tight, and with Belleville getting the breaks, the Dutch Town boys won. 2-1. East St. Louis evened matters up by defeating Belleville to make the triple tie for the championship. To win this title the Kahoks in Conference games scored sixty-one runs to opponent's fourteen, to say nothing of the runs scored in two games against Highland and other non-conference teams. The prospects for this year are good since out of thirteen lettermen, six are back. These are ‘‘Jadda” Gillaspy and Stillwell Merrill in the outfield. Martishus and Eckart to form the battery, and Boken and Spagna in the infield. Bob Boken the long, lanky third baseman who threw many a man at first, as we have said before, has been selected as this year's captain and if Bob continues to play this year as he did last season he will set his teammates a good example. Perhaps the success of the team was due a great deal to the increased interest taken in the game. A large number of boys went out for the sport and as most were underclassmen, teams are promised for following years. The student body backed the team fairly well. This was the first year in which much interest was shown in baseball. Eightu-nine Coach Larson Arriving in the fall of 1924. W. O. Larson was quite unknown in this vicinity. Just graduated from Augustana College he was making his first bid for a permanent position as Coach of a high school team. He had coached an Academy team during his Senior year at Augustana and this led him to take up coaching as an occupation. From the start. Larson had success with his teams. Mixing with his men. his good but commanding nature made him popular with both fans and players. All athletics became highly successful and especially basketball, which has always been the leading C. T. H. S. sport. Every year an efficient, in fact, a star team has been turned out. No matter how tough the opposition, his men always came through with the goods. Every Collinsville team is feared, good or bad: for a reputation has been established, that of finishing lower than second place in Conference competition only once in any sport. For the past two years his basketball teams have run away from all opposi-through misfortune did they lose out in W. O. 1. ARSON tion in Conference play and only tournaments. Besides being able to tell his men what to do. Larson is quite efficient in showing them how to do it himself. He was a good athlete at Augustana, making six varsity letters, three in football and three in baseball. The combination of Larson and Kahoks means defeat for some unlucky team in almost every case. Besides being Director of Athletics at C. T. H. S.. and coaching three sports, football, basketball and baseball. Larson instituted the Girls' Athletic Association. feeling that girls should not be omitted from athletics. Ninel i, o Ninety-one Coach Sherretz No member of the faculty sponsors so many projects of the school as Mr. Sherretz. Besides teaching science and history, and coaching tennis, he sponsors the Royal Razzers. the school’s yell club, the school paper, The Chanticleer and the annual The Kahokian. Mr. Sherretz came to the school in the fall of 1924 when tennis was comparatively new to the fellows of Collinsville. Taking a group of tennis pioneers , he built up a team, which, in Conference play, succeeded in winning half their games and finishing in third place in the Conference standings. The next year, with tennis in full swing and more boys willing to play the sport, the team succeeded in finishing first in both singles and doubles. This team was the best tennis team ever seen in Collinsville and will always be remembered. The following year the sport, popularized by the new tennis courts, drew many more boys to the game and had Mr. Sherretz guessing as to the best. The team finished second and third in singles and doubles respectively. It was probably due to the efforts of Mr. Sherretz that tennis was made popular and thereby giving the school the tennis courts. Certainly it was Mr. Sherretz who took hold of the game, took the responsibility and made the game a success. D. R.

For, with an inexperienced doubles team, which finished third in the Conference, and a former doubles player, who finished second in the Conference singles, the team deserves a good deal of praise. There were four letter men on the squad. These were Captain Henry Gillaspy. star of every other sport in the school. Walter McWhirter. Leo Hiken. and Francis Gauen. Jadda Gillaspy. crack singles player, suffered only one Conference defeat, this to Sauer of Belleville and only after a hard three set match; East St. Louis, Edwardsville. Alton. Granite City, and Jerseyville all going down before his racquet. Jadda was possessed of a very powerful stroke and a smashing service which made him hard to beat. He won the school tournament without much opposition, except from McWhirter. The doubles team was composed of Walter McWhirter and Leo Hiken. Francis Gauen alternated with these two and played several singles matches with non-Conference schools. The doubles lost only two Conference matches. They went down to Alton after a gruelling three set match, and then lost to Edwardsville, being disheartened over their defeat by Alton. McWhirter is fast, with a wonderful change of pace. Leo Hiken. lost by graduation, was a steady but not spectacular player. Francis Gauen. also a Senior, was remarkably fast for his weight and played a smashing game. Several non-Conference tilts were engaged in. The team went to Sparta where they won two single matches but lost the doubles. Greenville was played near the end of the term and the doubles team and Gauen in singles came out victorious. Gillaspy suffered one of his few defeats from Greenville. Mascoutah was played twice and four singles and two doubles matches were won. The prospects for this year are very good. Coach Sherretz has two letter-men back in Gillaspy and McWhirter and there is a large amount of younger material fast developing into fine players. The school tennis tournament was not finished but the Sherretz Singles Trophy was awarded to Jadda Gillaspy as he was the only player to reach the finals. The Class of 1925 Doubles Trophy was awarded to Orville Gaskill and Victor Adomaitis under the same rule. Ninety-four (5JVA. Ninety-five Girls Athletic Association Third Row: F.. Yonkers. J. Mardus.

It was formed for the purpose of having girls win their C’s by merit, instead of by charm. The members could not wear the letters won by the boys and given to them. The constitution of the Girls' Athletic Association of the University of Illinois was adopted by the association. There are sixty-five members in the organization. The girls of this organization have to work and win their letters by participating in the various athletic games, such as hockey, basketball, baseball, tennis, track, hiking, and swimming. Numerous points are awarded for attendance at athletic games, various offices of the organization, for scholastic ability, and for being chosen on the all-star teams. A member must have at least fifty points before being allowed to vote. A large number of letters were granted last year for the first award. Five hundred points are necessary for the first award, one thousand for the second award and fifteen hundred for the third award. Many girls will receive the second award this year, also a great number will receive the first award. Class tournaments are held to decide what class is the champion in the various sports. In the hockey tournament the final game was never played off on account of the weather conditions. The championship rested between the Juniors and Seniors. The Juniors won the basketball tournament by a close margin over the Sophomores. Last spring the Freshmen beat the present Seniors in the baseball tournament. The Juniors won the track meet, and the Sophomore tennis team won the double tennis tournament last spring. The sponsors arc: Miss Brede, Miss Kyle and Miss Schattgen. Ninety seven Champion Juniors F. Mardus, M. Fortr. I. Mottcrshead. P. Peila. E. Nichols. J. Gaucn. G. A. A. Tournament The first game was between the Junior heavies and the Sophomore lightweights. This game was one-sided in weight and likewise in the score—18-5 in favor of the Juniors. The second contest was between the Junior lightweights and the Freshman lightweights. This game resembled football but the plucky little Freshmen fought a losing game. The score was 8-0 in favor of the Juniors. The third was the Senior-Freshmen bout, both the heavyweight teams. This game was one of the most interesting games played. The teams were about evenly matched but the Seniors were older and more experienced. The game was played nine minutes over time. At the end. the score was 4-4. Each time the whistle was blown after a three minute interval, the score was still tied. The game was about to be postponed if it still remained a tie after nine minutes. However, just as the whistle was to be blown for the last time, a Senior made a foul, and the Freshmen were victorious as the ball went through the basket, defeating the Senior team by a score of 5-4. The Freshmen then played the Sophomore heavies. This was a hard fought battle from the start to the finish. T he game was fast and furious, the Sophomores being determined to beat the Freshmen at any cost. The game was a tie and was played six minutes over time and was won on a foul shot. The Sophomores won by a score of 6-4. The final contest was between the Junior heavies and the Sophomore heavies. The game for the first half was very close and no one could tell who would be the winner. It was still that way until just a few minutes before the close. At this juncture one Junior broke through the defense of the Sophomore’s and made the winning goal. There was much noise and whistling among the enthusiastic crowd. The Juniors won by a close margin of two points. The score was 4-2. Ninety-eight Ifcatntt Ninety-nine The Chanticleer vA= � «“ jsjy -7n. � . . A� urr,vw”_- J i - — Hinsville, Illinois, January 24.
