J. F. SNODGRAS, who is completing his eleventh year as principal of the Collinsville Township High School, has an educational record that is seldom equaled by high school principals. In the eleven years Mr. Snodgras has directed the school activities he has made many improvements. One of his innovations is an introduction of clubs and organizations which give the students experience in self government, parliamentary procedure, and group cooperation. A program in applied music has brought amusement and musical perfection to the students. Through changes in methods and the program the number of failures has been reduced from fifteen per cent to less than five per cent, the per capita cost decreased from $146 in 1929-30 to $93.03 in 1938-39. Mr. Snodgras is not only an adviser of boys and girls in the educational field but in their personal problems as well. When a boy returns after an absence from school on a particularly inviting day, Mr. Snodgras, being a sportsman himself, seems to understand when the lad says, I have been fishing.

WE are now aboard the Class of 1940, which is about ready to start its maiden voyage. This inspection tour, under the guidance of Mrs. Pinkel and Miss Jones, will start on deck D. On that deck we find the Class of 1940 in its first year. The leaders are: Jimmy Hicks, Wilma Chandler, Marjorie Starr, and Rosemary Schmacker. There is a bit of entertainment going on here. In one of the staterooms the guests are being entertained with a Halloween party. There is, however, a sad undercurrent to be noticed. One of the rooms is hung in black crepe. This is because two passengers, Katherine Mashek and Gino Delladotti, have died. On deck C the Class of 1940 enters its second year. In one stateroom a Valentine party is in session. In another room a most interesting performance is taking place. Miss Kathleen McCarroll is first maid of honor to the football queen. This year's accomplishments are led by Margie Bitzer, Nancy Kalbfleisch, Kathleen McCarroll, Claire Davis, and Bette Benson. On deck B the leaders are: James Taggart, Harry McFarlane and Ralph Folkerts. Mr. Wright joins Mrs. Pinkel and Miss Jones to help guide this inspection. In one of the staterooms on deck B we find a display of athletic ability. Athletics play an important part in the history of the Class of 1940. Guests are being entertained in various other staterooms with a St. Patrick's Day party, the class play, Spring Fever, and the crowning of the football queen. Nancy Kalbfleisch is the Class of 1940's candidate for the title. She is serving as first maid of honor to the football queen. Leo Dallape is elected next year's basketball captain. We come at last to deck A. We are sorry to say that Mr. Wright is no longer here to help guide us on this, our last, deck. The leaders on this deck are: Harry McFarlane, Irl Edwards, and Martha Jane McCormick. In a gayly decorated stateroom Miss Margie Bitzer is being crowned football queen. Her escort is the honorary football captain, James Taggart. In another stateroom the senior girls are giving a tea party for their little sisters. In the ballroom again, we have the junior-senior prom, looked forward to by every junior and senior. On this deck, too, the class play, Smilin' Through,” is being skillfully presented. There goes the call, All ashore that's going ashore! but before we go, we would like to thank Mrs. Pinkel and Miss Jones for their very able guidance, and also to compliment the leaders on the various decks. We'll leave now and let the Class of 1940 start its great adventure, and we hope that she will meet with no mishaps. Before we cast off we should like to say one thing more. Perhaps we have given the impression that all has been fun. Well, it hasn't. The Class of 1940 has shown that it can put its shoulder to the wheel and push as hard as anyone.

Ah! The stars tell me you have attended the Collinsville Township High School for three years. Yes, and I see worthy accomplishments behind and before you. You elected Ruth Spalding, George Gillespie, and Pearle Lochmann to manage the class business during your first year, while Mary Jane Flenniken was your candidate for football queen. I see others, especially in athletics, but they do not seem to be so prominent yet. What's this I see? Spooks! Witches! Why, it's the Halloween party. Now, let us take a glance at your second year. Surely you remember your class officers. Bill Giant, Ted Hoerch-ler, Ruth Spalding, and your football queen candidate, Catherine Benson. But wait-—there are others becoming more distinct: Elmer Oberto, Bob McLanahan, Norman Whitchurch, and Bill Giant. No doubt you remember these boys and the activities in which they excelled. Your main social event of the year was the Valentine party. The stars say this is your most eventful year thus far. The class business has been deftly handled by Bob Bitzer, Harold Ray, Margaret Haig, and the sponsors, Miss Holben and Mr. Ehlert. Shirley Bieser represented the class in the royal court of 1939. I see your class has been well represented in athletics this year. McLanahan, Nunning, Oberto, Thomas, Votik, and Whitchurch received letters for their services on the football squad and Bitzer, Thomas, Votik, and Whitchurch played on the varsity basketball team. Footlights are coming into view and I see the play Skidding'' being produced on the school stage. Again the famous Hardy family was characterized. As usual, Andy contributed his share of humor and the plot was advanced by a rising family and political problems. All in all, it was undoubtedly one of the best dramatized comedies a C. T. H. S. junior class has ever produced. Your class party was exclusively for you and all who attended spent a most enjoyable evening. Music was provided by your own school orchestra. The Prom, the brightest of all social events of the year, really showed what your class could do. Decorated with a musical theme, the Prom was a most dignified event with summer pastels gliding gracefully and rhythmically in the dim glow of soft lights. This occasion marked the high spot in your social career and will long be remembered by everyone. You must‘admit that I have read the past correctly, but perhaps you are wondering what the future in this school holds for you. I can see a year filled with good times and—. Well, come back next year and see for yourselves! thirty-eight CLAYTON. J. BUGGER. B. BATES. BEST. R. BUCKLES. BARTH. R. BITZER. E. CHRISTOPHER. BLAHA. A. ARTIMISI M. CLINE. BEVILACQUA. B. ARTH.

Yes, Diary, it marked the beginning of a new era, for today we became sophomores. Just about all of the old students were back with the class which made such a good start last year. I only hope that we can keep it up. September 16, 1939 Dear Diary: We elected class officers today! Paul Zirges and Eileen Fedder are on the executive committee. Our sponsors this year are Miss Pettiti and Miss Quernheim. November 3, 1939 Dear Diary: Brr! It was cold tonight! We went to the football game and saw some of our fellow class members fighting for the glory of the school. John Cobetto, Bob Sheffield, and several others participated in the game. November 21, 1939 Dear Diary: Football Coronation tonight. It was all very lovely. Our class was represented by Dorothy Kramer, a winsome brunette. Dorothy was third maid of honor. January 22, 1940 Dear Diary: Now that the semester exams are over the majority of the class are looking at their report cards and wishing that they had studied a little bit the night before exams. However, Mary Louise Wolfe and Vernon Frost have kept up the scholastic morale of the class by making straight A's from the beginning of their freshman year! January 28, 1940 Dear Diary: Just got home from the basketball game. We saw Vernon Frost, Lester Keller, Larry Beard, Dick Ambrosius, and others playing to uphold the standard of the class in this sport. February 8, 1940 Dear Diary: Hold your hat and get set because here comes an account of the rip-snortingest party that ever took place in the good old high school gym. You guessed it! It's the sophomore Valentine party which took place tonight. Practically the entire class turned out for it. Everyone had a grand time dancing and playing games. An interesting program was furnished by class members who rendered various musical and dance numbers. A brand new custom was established by the election of a Valentine king and queen who ruled over the party. Refreshments consisting of hamburgers, cupcakes, and cold drinks were served. May 28, 1940 Dear Diary: Half of our school days are over. So far it has been a wonderful experience. We only hope that the remaining half of our high school career will prove as eventful, profitable, and interesting. Ck::; : 'hiapelli Vf:hn ji: Frost Meta • rvalis FORTY-THREE AUD. BERNHARDT, BOSTER.

WELLE FORTY-SEVEN tyteMuncut cMiAtasiu THERE was practically a small explosion in Professor Snodgras's laboratory when he discovered the new freshman class. He came running out of the laboratory and said that he had just discovered a new freshman class, the largest that has ever enrolled at C. T. H. S. There were 270 freshmen in the new class and Professor Snod-gras knew that these strange new pupils would make quite a mixup if they wandered around the school. So he assigned two of his associates, Professors Kinsey and Norton, to see what they could do with this new material. Professor Kinsey and Professor Norton saw that there would be disruptions within the class if it was not organized, so they appointed a committee to see what could be done about a plan for organization. The committee appointed the most likely candidates and the freshmen class chose its officers. The two professors instilled a bit of joyousness, gaiety, and perhaps a little mischievousness into the class. They prepared for the annual freshman Halloween party which was held in the gymnasium. The entertainment consisted of games and dancing. Everyone reported an evening well spent. The next job for Professor Kinsey and Professor Norton was to supervise the election of a freshman candidate for football queen. The freshman class elected Margaret Richter who, they are proud to say, served as first maid of honor. She was escorted to the throne by Wallace Feig. The next part of the year's program was turned over to Professor Mettemich, freshman football coach. He instilled some school spirit, training, willingness, and eagerness to win into a few freshmen and they turned into a fairly good freshman squad. The call was well represented by these gridiron gladiators. Among the best were Joe Shelton, Sotearous Hartman, Pete Perucca, Jake Simon and Bob Richter. Then they turned the program over to Professor Fletcher, freshman basketball coach, and his basketball battlers. After a long period of gruelling training Professor Fletcher welded what had been, at the beginning of the year, a bunch of raw recruits into a well-knit, cooperative, and successful organization. The corps d'elite of the freshman team consisted of Joe Shelton, Pete Perucca, Emil Gendro-lius, Bob Richter, and Jake Simon. The freshman class would like to express its gratitude to the faculty, its sponsors, and the school organization for their aid to the class as a whole and to individual members in their moments of distress. As yet the class has not amazed the school but they still have years to show the scoffers. So watch out! Until next year shall we say, not goodby, but au revoir!

TIEMANN FIFTY-THREE FIFTY-FIVE cH-anasi Society THE summer meeting of the Collinsville chapter of the National Honor Society was held August 28, 1939, at the Collinsville Memorial Library, to which the alumni of the society were invited. The program held was in remembrance of Miss Emma Harris, a former sponsor of the society, who passed away last July. Under the direction of Miss Brede and Mr. Chandler the society sponsored its annual jamboree on November 30, 1939. Each home room sponsored a concession or float. The main show was in the form of a radio program. At the beginning of the program there was a miniature parade of floats depicting songs. After this the program went on the air to the theme song of the C. T. H. S. orchestra. The program was then turned over to a station in Oklahoma where they were holding an Indian festival. The chorus, dressed as Indians and seated around a campfire, sang an Indian song; George Burggraf and Ann Root sang The Indian Love Call; and Indian dances were given by Bob Bitzer and Bill Stanton. Initiation of new members into the society took place at the beginning of the second semester. The members are chosen on the basis of the four qualities—scholarship, leadership, service, and character, and are elected by the teachers. They represent ten per cent of the senior class and five per cent of the juniors. During the last week of school the society had charge of an honor day when the boys and girls outstanding in athletics, music, clubs, journalism and other activities were honored.

In that year there were nineteen members in the organization as compared with the present membership of thirty-five. The council has always been made up of one representative from each home room and two mem-bers-at-large from each class. This year it is under the sponsorship of Miss Renfro and Mr. Heinecke. This year for the second time, our Student Council was given an opportunity to extend hospitality to other student government bodies of this area. The most outstanding projects of this organization are the hall patrol, assembly programs, and the coronation of the football queen. This year Betty Jean Savage directed one of the most impressive football queen coronations ever held at Collinsville High School. A group of varied and entertaining assembly programs were given including moving pictures, choral groups, amateur pro-grame, and pep meetings. The highlight of the year's assemblies was the Christmas program. The supervision of student study halls, a student handbook, and the monthly student dances are among some of the activities of the council inaugurated this year. The annual manufacturers' dinner is the only money-making project sponsored by the council. The money is used to send representatives to the state convention. JACK LENTZ, G. CHIAPELLI, G.

DERVALIS FIFTY-SEVEN K.cuhoJzian IT IS through the cooperation of the students of this high school that the year book is published each year. The tremendous amount of work that is necessary for the publication of the book is done by the students on the Kahokian Staff, under the supervision of three of the faculty members, Mrs. Swank, Miss Linder, and Mr. Hale. The different departments do the various types of work. For instance, the typing staff does the typing, the editorial staff, the class histories and other write-ups. The dedication and the cover design, however, are the common interest of the whole group. Last year a point system was devised by the editor and the assistant editor whereby the student may earn points and, upon earning a sufficient number of points, obtain a pin. The Kahokian records all the activities of the year, social gatherings and extra-curricular projects. Most of the members are held over from the year before, but where it is necessary to add new members, it is done by means of a try-out. The tryout consists of a theme which is written by the candidate and judged by the faculty sponsors and editor. Even if the student never uses the training and experience he receives while on the staff, he will appreciate in the future the work that is necessary to publish a book of this type, and also realize how necessary it is for everyone to cooperate by doing the work that is assigned to him.

It is what one might call a miniature newspaper, for its purpose is to relate the news and school activities for the students. It was issued bi-weekly throughout the school year, and contained a number of various articles submitted and written by the students on the staff. The paper contained all the latest gossip heard about the school by staff members whose duty it was to publish the gossip sheet for a certain issue of the paper. There was also a page devoted entirely to sports. Then there were articles on the assembly programs which were given on various occasions, reports on the different fashions popular during the year, and numerous other articles. The remaining pages contained news of the classes, exchanges with other schools, and various activities going on around the school. The Chanticleer was published entirely by the efforts of the staff, approximately thirty-seven students, under the capable leadership of Martha Jane McCormick as editor and her associates, Ted Hoerchler and George Millice, Mary Jane Sutton and Jeanette Rissi as business managers, and Dorothy Burstadt and Frances Waichekauckas as head typists. Credit should also be given to the other staff members for their work. The Chanticleer was printed by the typing and mimeograph staffs and was sponsored by Miss Petitti and Mr. Monroe. RUSSELL, D.

This club is very popular among its members because of the informality it enjoys at all times. Short meetings are held during home-room periods, when dues are collected, new books counted, and topics of interest discussed. Any girl wishing to become a member must submit her name to the sponsor. If her scholastic record meets the required standard, a B average, and she is approved as satisfactory by the teachers, her name is turned over to the present members to be voted upon. During the school year the members learn the decimal and filing system, to check circulation, and to replace returned books on the shelves. They also help prepare new books and mend old ones for the shelves. Each member is required to work at the desk once a week either before or after school. The members also assist the librarian in giving library lessons to freshmen and sophomores on the use of the library and reference books. Due to the excellent guidance of Miss Eckart, the girls are capable of handling the circulation in her absence. This responsibility is beneficial to the members. The Library Club comes in for its share of fun. It holds an annual Christmas party to which all members and ex-members are invited. It also has an informal initiation party.

The club is made up entirely of Latin students. The purpose of Phi Epsilon is to give the students a better understanding of the Latin language and to help them become better acquainted with the customs and life of the Romans in ancient times. Miss Brede, head of the Latin Department, sponsors the club. Phi Epsilon meets the first and third Wednesday of every month. At the meetings members give talks, read articles about famous Romans of the past and how the Latin people lived, and have Latin quizzes.” For this year the club chose as its officers for the first semester: Marguerite Vermetti, consul; Kathleen McCarroll, vice consul; and Margaret Giacoletto, quaestor. During Latin week, which was held April 15 through April 19, Phi Epsilon placed colorful posters throughout the school. The club sponsored two motion pictures. One was The Pied Piper of Homlin, and the other was about life in Rome. This year twenty girls were elected to the club. A party was held in their honor. Phi Epsilon has thirty-four members. The Club is a member of the Junior Classical League. Phi Epsilon had charge of the Dog House at the honor society jamboree. On April 17 the club had a pot-luck supper in the cafeteria. McCARROI.L.

The organization is limited to managers and varsity letter winners in the competitive sports of the school. The main purposes of the club are to place all of the athletes in one distinct group and to assist any organization whenever possible. This year the boys helped the Lions Club make the Annual Easter Egg Hunt a huge success by keeping the children in their own divisions until the hunt started. The C Club helped the Lions Club sponsor a picture show which was presented for the students of the high school and the grade schools on Halloween. This was done so that the boys and girls would have an outlet for their energy which ordinarily would have taken a mischievous course. The boys of the C Club entered into the spirit of the Christmas parade by donning outlandish-looking costumes that caused a great deal of laughter among the townspeople. They also distributed gifts at the Community Christmas Party. The local merchants were very grateful to the organization for their splendid cooperation in these affairs. Under the efficient leadership of their sponsor, Mr. Fletcher, they have assisted the local business men in the worthwhile enterprises of offering entertainment for the children of this community.

T. H. S. The Collinsville chapter is the first organization of its type in this locality. Under the direction of the sponsors, Miss Walker and Mr. Logan, a constitution was drawn up immediately. The council is made up of one member elected from each home room and organization. The meetings are held the last half of the fourth period on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The council consists of five committees. The bicycle committee is headed by John Jordon. The accident committee, headed by Melvin Neubauer, reports all accidents in this vicinity. The publicity chairman is George Millice. The program committee, headed by Harold Ulkus, arranges the programs for the council. The chairmen for the inspection committees are Arthur Delbartes for the boys and Lucille Rocanelli for the girls. Arrangements are being made to have signs put in front of the school and to have the crossing patrolled. Mr. Snodgras has tried to convince the city that a subway is of vital importance where there are about 400 students crossing a main highway every day, but until funds are provided the utmost precautions must be taken. It is the duty of the Safety Court of the council to see that the safety measures are enforced. The object of the council is to make the students at C. T. H. S. safety conscious. TAGGART, ULKUS, G.

THE Collinsville chapter of the Future Farmers of America was organized in the fall of 1939 with the introduction of vocational agriculture into the high school curriculum. It is a national organization of high school boys numbering more than 85,000, who band together to put enthusiasm and pleasure into work and recreation. The local chapter is composed of twenty-three boys enrolled in the agricultural classes. The main feature in the annual program of this chapter is the father and son banquet, which was held on Tuesday, April 9. All boys enrolled in the agricultural classes invited their fathers to an evening of entertainment and feasting. About fifty-five attended. The principal speaker for the evening was T. W. May of Edwardsville, farm adviser of Madison County. He gave an illuminating talk on The Importance of Good Projects. The F. F. A. plans to make the banquet an annual affair when the boys may entertain their dads. Every boy must have a project of his own on which he makes reports. The purpose of the F. F.

Heretofore too many of them were inclined to store their cameras with their flannels and take them out only when spring approached. But with the organization of the club they were made conscious of photographic material the year around. This club was sponsored by Mr. Logan. This year the Camera Club added a new attraction to the jamboree by having a booth which made it possible to have one's likeness snapped for a small sum. The camera and settings which were used were made by the members. This was only one of the projects undertaken during the year. Another interesting project was the making of a printer. Contrary to parliamentary procedure the meetings of the club were informal. The members all worked together and each gave forth his little knowledge about the art of photography to enlighten and improve the group. It was impossible to hold the meetings at night, so a dark room was made in order that the meetings might be held during the day. The dark room was used for developing pictures which had been taken by the members. It has been gratifying to see the number of students interested in camera work, and there is every evidence of an increasing interest in photography. CLAYTON. WESEMANN. E. FOWLER, K.

BIRKE SIXTY-FIVE XIS-AJ.XIS SIXTY-SEVEN UNUL IKS Hand LAST Spring the band traveled southward en route to the Regional Contest at Little Rock, Arkansas, and came home with first-place national honors. The summer was devoted to preparation for the weekly concerts, but autumn found the members practicing and drilling for school activities. The National Championship Band has taken more steps this year to achieve honor and recognition. The greatest sensation was created during the football season. Enthusiastic applause was received for the spectacular formations which were enhanced by the individual lights on each member's cap. The most memorable formation was the War Dance. The lighted band marched onto the darkened field and formed a circle inside of which was a blazing campfire and an Indian wigwam. Chief Kahok danced in the firelight to the rhythmic strains of our own Indian Trail, while the band members in the circle danced around as they played. This formation, which created such favorable comment, was the one used at the Walsh Stadium in St. Louis. One of the reports was that the demonstration exceeded one similar to it presented in the Rose Bowl. Graduation will take some of the members away, but Mr. Kreider has foreseen this and has a trained group coming in to take their places. We know he will train them so that we will always have occasion to say the words our band with ■ • f BELOBRAYDIC, WOODWORTH. B. BATES. H. WAICHEKAUCKAS. R. BATES. J. I BLANC. SPERINO. HAUPTMANN.

NOWLING SIXTY-NINE Qluvuti DURING the past few years vocal music in the high school has been rapidly gaining in popularity. This year's chorus, under the direction of Mr. Albert Friedli, has achieved even greater success than choruses of former years. Early in September about 120 students, in search of musical education and pleasure, signed up for the chorus classes. On September 28 this group held a meeting and elected Margie Bitzer as president, Melvin Woodworth as vice president and Bob Best as secretary-treasurer. Having elected their leaders for the season, the organization settled down to work on the annual cantata, The Shepherd's Christmas, by Martin Luvaas. On December 23 the finished product was presented to an enthusiastic audience at St. John's Hall. After enjoying a brief Christmas vacation, the chorus members returned to school and started work on the songs which were to be sung at the district chorus contest. In this competition, which was held at Granite City on March 24, the organization won first rating. At the state contest which was held at West Frankfort on April 11, the chorus came through with flying colors. The chorus members also worked on certain numbers which were to be sung at the annual music festival at Highland on April 12. For the second consecutive year Noble Cain, the eminent choral director, had charge of the group. One of the most successful projects of the year was the operetta, Love Goes South, composed by Williams and Hadley. This production was presented in the high school auditorium during the latter part of May. ✓ H. WAICHEK AUCK AS, J. COX. BONN. PELGUS, NEPUTE. MEN I. LANCE. A. TIPPETT. SCHOEN. BETTY WORK. S. SIMON.

He flies into a rage when, shortly after his granddaughter's return from college, he learns that she, June, has fallen in love with a young man from New York. His rage increases when June tells him that the young man is planning to pay her a visit and that he is expected at any moment. Bill Fuller, the young man in question, is a young composer who has been commissioned by a New York producer, Lawrence Ravensway, to write a musical comedy about the old South. Bill has planned a trip to Georgia to get local color. He sends his friend and advance agent, Dick Grant, to Georgia to locate a cottage near the Jackson estate. Dick, accompanied by Bill's sister Nancy and Bill's aunt, Mrs. Wordsworth Fuller, arrives during the course of June's homecoming party and is mistaken by Col. Jackson for Bill. The colonel bluntly informs Dick that he is not welcome. A little later Bill arrives with producer Ravensway. After the colonel discovers who Bill is, he creates another scene, and June, finally has to tell her grandfather that she is going away with Bill. June realizes that she must tell her old friend and admirer, Bill Preston, that their love affair has come to an end. She writes him a note which is delivered to Bill Fuller instead of Bill Preston. Thinking it was intended for him. Fuller prepares for an immediate return to New York. His departure leaves June in a state of complete bewilderment and disappointment. After a week has passed and there has been no word from Bill, June to the great surprise of everyone, announces her engagement to Bill Preston. Bill Fuller returns as suddenly as he departed with the view of finishing the show Magnolia for Ravensway. Dick and Nancy, together with George Porter and Mary Lee Whiston, have tried the'.r best to learn what caused the break between June and Bill. Dick stumbles onto information which leads to a solution of the love problem. Dick convinces Bill that the letter had been intended for Preston, and Bill is reunited with June in time to substitute for Preston as the groom. Equally as fast, Dick arranges to get himself married to Nancy. As the story ends Ravensway is made radiant by the assurance of the completion of Magnolia by the reinspired Fuller, and when Col. Jackson is told that the play shows the old South in a most favorable light, he adds to the general atmosphere of good will by consenting to his granddaughter's marriage to that Yankee. SEVENTY-ONE IteA uatt Society THE local troupe of the National Thespian Dramatic Honor Society is a small part of a great organization founded for the purpose of creating a more active and intelligent interest in dramatics among the boys and girls of our secondary schools. A Thespian troupe is always an educational club. It consists of a group of students who form an inner circle among those who participate in the high school dramatic program. Because these students have met certain qualifications, are deserving and dependable, and have shown genuine interest in dramatics, they have been privileged to become members of the national society. They are under oath to assist the director of dramatics in every way possible with the production of plays, with the management of the regular dramatic clubs, and with all other activities of a dramatic nature in which their cooperation and services are needed. The society has the following objectives for its membership: 1. To give adequate recognition to students who attain excellence in high school dramatics. 2. To encourage and assist teachers and students with the study, production, and direction of educationally worthwhile plays. 3. To provide teachers and students with helpful and reliable information relative to rehearsal schedules, scenery construction, lighting techniques, make-up, stage work, casting, acting and directing. 4. To secure for its membership reduced royalty rates on the better plays suitable for production on the high school level. 5. To secure, whenever possible, reduced prices for its members on stage equipment and supplies such as curtains, lights, scenery, make-up materials and costumes. MR. BLAZER, RAY. ULKUS, TAGGART.

HOGA, BURGGRAK SEVENTY-TWO JLvttle EVERY year the Little Theatre enthusiasts smear grease paint on their faces, don fancy costumes, and escape into the make-believe world. The aim of this group is not only to display and to develop dramatic skill, but also to give the students recreation and some knowledge of stage work. The group meetings were informal and educational. They were opened by a short business session and followed by an informative talk by one well versed on a subject pertaining to dramatics. Our first speaker was Mrs. Francis Gauen whose subject was make-up. This is one of the most interesting phases of theatre work for amateur groups. Other interesting talks were given by Miss Hohn, a former instructor at C .T. H. S., now of Wood River High School, and Mrs. Cliffton Wallace who has been on the C. T. H. S. teaching staff. Though little praise is given it, the stage crew should be given much credit for its fine work. It was the duty of this group to make scenery for all plays given during the school term. Just as every play must have its director to instruct and guide the actors, so every play should have its crew. They are the designers and have complete charge of producing the background and furnishings of all scenes. Small objects required by the script, anything from a tea service to a stuffed lion, food and drink, come under the heading of properties and are produced by the crew. Sound effects— horns and whistles; elements of weather—rain, snow, and howling wind; all are created by this group. If the enthusiasm is continued, it is the plan to carry the Little Theatre over during the summer. Little Theatre, under the sponsorship of Mr. Blazek, is a grand hobby and pastime, and certainly lots of fun. . L . STANTON. KAY. BURGGRAF. ULKUS, TAGGART, R. BITZER. JOBUSCH, D. MARCHETTI. J.

Into this tomb, breaking a silence of 5000 years, come four men. Professor Harding, leader of the four men, has come here unknown to the leader of the expedition of which he is a part to search for the mummy of Khufu, tyrant of old. Of the three men who followed the professor, Butch is the strongest character, Herman stands by Butch, and Ben, the weak one of the trio, is continually in a state of fear. To prevent his three helpers from stealing the huge emerald found in Khufu's sarcophagus. Professor Harding threatens to reveal to the authorities that the trio are deserters from the Foreign Legion. Butch overcomes this difficulty by murdering Professor Harding. However, when they try to remove the emerald, the massive stone door of the tomb swings shut. Butch goes crazy with anger and shakes the mummy, which releases a poisonous vapor that kills him. Herman with a great show of bravado also defies Khufu and dies. Ben, sick with fear, replaces the emerald which mysteriously opens the door. Ben rushes out to life and freedom as the door swings shut. The cast first presented this play as an assembly program. Although the presentation at this time was not quite perfect, it was because the cast could not concentrate at the sight of Khufu choking from poisonous vapor (face powder). The play was entered at the Sub-District Dramatic Tournament and although it did not place, the members of the cast received many compliments. Jobusch was commended for his portrayal of the rascally professor and Stanton, Savage, and Oberto for their excellent performances of the three deserters. JOBUSH, J. SAVAGE.

Walte HSflg 'T ’” Mary Jane Flenniken ON December 7, 1939, the junior class presented its annual play entitled Skidding. The cast should be congratulated for its fine work, as it presented a play that will long be remembered. The setting is a small town in Idaho. The Hardy home has become a bedlam, as two of the daughters have left their husbands and returned home while the third has arrived from college. Through the corruption of a great political machine. Judge Hardy becomes the target of modem politics. Andy adds to the turmoil by his mischievous deeds. Aggravated by the family's discourse Mrs. Hardy leaves home and to thicken the plot, Marion and her fiance quarrel. However, the play ends as all good plays do with the difficulties settled and the town again peaceful. Skidding, by Aurenia Rouveral, is a typical high school play patterned after the Mickey Rooney Hardy Family series, exhibiting the average high school boy in his true light. The play is a comedy throughout with very few tear-jerking scenes. The entire cast gave an excellent performance. The two most outstanding individual performers were Harold Ray as the young, adolescent Andy Hardy and Annabelle Tippet as the old maid. Aunt Milly. Probably one of the most remembered humorous scenes was the one where Andy is getting ready to go to a party. Wallace Jobusch's deep voice added greatly to the characterization of Judge Hardy. Jeanne Kuncl and Mary Hoga did their long parts well. ot judge {iX SEVENTY-SIX ''CLa -SIX 0 Smilin' Iwo-ucjU John Carteret...................James Taggart Dr. Owen Harding.......................Harold Ulkus Ellen......................Margaret Sherman Kathleen Dungannon.....................Margie Bitzer Willie Ainley..........................Robert Bates Kenneth Wayne..............Melvin Woodworth Moonyeen Clare.........Martha Jane McCormick Jeremiah Wayne...........................Bill Stanton Sarah Wayne..............Wilma Jean Chandler Mary Clare..............................Bette Benson Wedding Guests J Nancy Kalbfleisch, Robert Weir Jeanette Rissi, Roy Kunnemann ON March 28, the senior class presented Smilin' Through. John Carteret, uncle of Kathleen Dungannon, hates the Waynes, as it was Jeremiah Wayne who, fifty years previous to the time of the story, accidentally but fatally wounded John's bride-to-be, Moonyeen Clare. Matters complicate themselves when Kathleen falls in love with Ken Wayne, who leaves for war immediately on being forbidden to see her. Moonyeen is unable through the years to aid in keeping this hate from John's heart, but at last the relation of the group reaches the clear intimacies of the earlier period. As the curtain falls we are assured of Kathleen's marriage to Ken and a life of happiness. Smilin' Through had been presented by the class of 1931 at the Miner's Theatre The present senior class was dubious about the chance for success of a play that had already been given. This doubt was entirely dispelled by words of approbation received from the audience. Harold Ulkus as Dr. Owen Harding and James Taggart as John Carteret made the play more interesting through their character roles. Both boys gave age to the characters not only through their movements but also in their voice work. They had a number of quick changes that had to be made, so wigs were used. SEVENTY-SEVEN SEVENTY-EIGHT EIGHTY EIGHTY-ONE tyoatkail Gosuuuitiott Tv I OVEMBER 21, 1939, marked the first football coronation ceremony held at night. - ■ A welcoming address by Harry McFarlane, master of ceremonies, a flare of trumpets— and the retiring queen, gracious Irene Jokerst, was escorted to the throne by Ray Costello, president of the class of 1939. Miss Jokerst wore a royal blue satin gown and carried yellow chrysanthemums. Another announcement—another fanfare—the sophomore class queen and third maid of honor, Miss Dorothy Kramer, and her escort, Fred Meurer, made their way toward the throne. She wore a gown of pink satin and carried a bouquet of white chrysanthemums. Petite Miss Shirley Bieser and her escort, James Hicks, were summoned to pay homage to the retiring queen. Miss Bieser wore white satin and carried orange chrysanthemums. The freshman queen and first maid of honor, Margaret Richter, was escorted to the throne by Wallace Feig. Miss Richter was attractively garbed in a blue moire taffeta gown of the modern bustle-back style and her bouquet was of white chrysanthemums. The trumpeters sounded a super-fanfare—the senior class candidate and the newly-elected queen of love and beauty. Miss Margie Bitzer, escorted by Captain James Taggart, approached the throne on a flower-strewn path. A charming gown of silver net adorned with small silver bands, accompanied by the traditional royal purple train, was worn by her majesty. Her bouquet consisted of pink chrysanthemums. After Coach Lawson Fletcher presented gifts to the queen and maids of honor, the balance of the evening was spent in dancing led by Captain Taggart and the new queen. Misses Ruth Willet, Joan and Gail Landwehr, Noreen Lauth, and Johnny Metternich and Donald Norton were also members of the royal court. EIGHTY-TWO EIGHTY-THREE Dorothy Kramer Third Maid of Honor ffustoUM-BeMAJO'i Pnxunetudle IN a certain week in May, 1939, the juniors could be seen running madly about the school carrying hammers, nails, starch, wire, paint, and what have you in prepartion for the big event of the year. The following Friday night the girls and boys arrived at the high school looking very festive, the girls wearing lovely gay gowns, and the boys handsomely dressed. The reason for all this festivity was the junior-senior reception being held in the school gymnasium. Upon entering the school the boys and girls roamed the halls waiting for the grand march. The refrains of Deep Purple informed them that the grand march had begun. James Taggart, the junior president, and Margie Bitzer led the procession. The gymnasium was regally decorated. The theme of the decoration was the Palace of Versailles or the Hall of Mirrors. The juniors and seniors, bubbling with excitement, entered through the French doors. The walls were covered with purple drapes, with two large circular mirrors on either wall. Above the purple drapes were bands of silver that sparkled under the mercury vapor lights. In the center of the ceiling hung a large revolving crystal ball. Colored spot lights from each of the four comers shone on this ball which was reflected in the mirrors. Along the side-lines were chairs for those who wished to sit this one out. Punch was served in each of the two booths erected at the comers opposite the French doors. The booths, which were decorated with silver, glittered colorfully under the red lights. Everyone enjoyed the time of his life dancing to the music of Eddie Ehret and his Notables. The orchestra put on a little skit about The Three Little Fishes, which delighted the onlookers. EIGHTY-FOUR bcwtoe Otebaitsia THIS year for the first time the school was permitted to have a dance orchestra of its own. Soon after school started a group of musicians came together, more for the enjoyment of playing than with any definite purpose in mind. After rehearsing together a few times under the direction of Melvin Woodworth, the group recognized the possibility of organizing a school dance orchestra. Try-outs were held and the additional members brought the number of players to eleven. Since the orchestra was not being sponsored by any organization, the problem arose of raising funds for the purchase of music and other expenses. The school board consented to give its aid if the orchestra's playing was well received by the student body. It made its first appearance before the school in the form of an assembly program. After this excellent performance, funds were forthcoming from the school board. Complying with the custom of modem dance orchestras, our school orchestra chose to have a theme song. The one selected was Does Your Heart Beat for Me? One of the orchestra's first important appearances before the public was at the dance following the coronation of the football queen. It has played for all the monthly evening dances sponsored by the student council, for the matinee dances held after school, and for some of the class parties. The members of the orchestra are: Robert Bates, first alto saxophone; Jack Hazzard, second alto saxophone; Rosemary Root, tenor saxophone; Burton Bates, baritone saxophone; Dale Nicol, first trumpet; Robert Juda, second trumpet; Dominick Marchetti, first trombone; Jane McFarlane, second trombone; Jeanne Kuncl, piano; Lester Bickel, bass fiddle; Wallace Jo-busch, drums; and Bob Best, vocqUsi—.

Jim played football under Lawson Fletcher's coaching for four years, three of these years as a varsity man. Not only was he a spark plug on the offensive, but he also called the defensive plays for the the team. He was one of the best centers in the conference and missed being all-conference center by one point. Jim's big moment of the season came when he ran 35 yards on an intercepted pass against Madison. He was not only a good football player but he was active as well in dramatics and other school activities. Lawson Fletcher, Fletch to all of us, is a grand fellow and a mighty good coach. Although he has not produced championship teams, he has had some mighty fine representatives on the gridiron. As he has often said, ''If the game had finished at the half we would have been victorious.'' Our team did not have the weight to force that final punch. 7lie 1 UgwUosiA. McLANAHAN:—He was a great defensive player. COBETTO:—His weight caused an opposing player to grunt when he hit him. OBERTO:—He was spearhead for the Kahok offensive. TAGGART:—Jim was in on every play and was a fine offensive player. He was selected as center on the Second All-Conference team. SCHILLER:—When they said to Schiller, Open up a hole, he always obliged. VERHARST:—With his heavy weight in the line, he kept his opponent worrying about what was coming next. WHITCHURCH:—When they tossed a pass, Pesty was usually the boy who hooked it out of the sky. THOMAS:—His fine quarterbacking kept the opposing team in a quandry as to where the next play was coming. BROWN:—When their ground attack bogged down. Brown was there to toss a pass. WARD:—His fine blocking always gave our runner a few more yards. MEURER:—He was the man who bucked the line and when he hit, the opposing team felt him. HICKS:—He always received the nod when the backfield needed a new sparkplug. DOCTER:—He was injured early in the season. His fine kicking was needed. SHEA:—He was a lineman and could keep the opposing backs where they belonged. VOTIK:—He was an end and will be back next year.

BROWN, ASSISTANT COACH METTERNICH WITH a wild whoop of joy and a cry for some scalps the wild charging Kahoks came stamping onto the gridiron. The boys progressed well under the coaching of Lawson Fletcher. Although not exhibiting perfect football, they did play well considering the short time they had to season the newer men. The defense of the Kahoks was outstanding. Many times with their backs to the goal posts, they held off the advancing forces. They used chiefly a 6-2-2-1 defense but changed to a 7-2-2 and 5-3-2-1 defense. Jim Taggart called the defensive signals. The Kahok line was a fast charging unit and in many games broke through and spilled opponents for long losses. The offense men did not match the defense but they did their best. They worked on improving the offense and by the end of the season the attack was fairly well balanced. The Kahoks on offense used chiefly off-tackle plays and end runs with an occasional pass to keep their opponents guessing. The outstanding game of the year was the Edwardsville contest. The first score came near the end of the first quarter and this was made after a march of eighty yards. The Kahoks failed to make the extra point, so they led 6-0. In the second quarter Edwardsville scored on a group of line plays. With the ball on the eight-yard line, faked pass netted them a touchdown. The Tigers missed their try for the extra point and the score remained at 6-6 until the fourth quarter. The Kahoks pushed over two more scores by the aerial route to win 18-6. Edwardsville left the gridiron a bewildered team. All three Kahok scores were the result of passes. The other Kahok win was over Madison with a score of 26-0. In this game the Indians practically tore up the field with their running, passing and kicking. The Kahoks have proved that they have the grit and, with experienced reserves coming out next year, the boys in purple should give their other conference opponents a run for their money. NINETY-ONE an LEO DALLAPE was captain, forward, center, all-conference, and general genius at playing basketball for the fighting Kahoks. Leo was the most versatile player we saw this year. With that one-handed shot from underneath the goal, he broke the conference individual scoring record by making 215 points in one season. Leo has been in this country about a dozen years but he played as if he had been reared with the basketball in his hands. He was just the perfect basketball player. He was also good at throwing the javelin, discus, and shot put. These are not all of his achievements in athletics, for Leo Dallape could play shortstop on most anyone's team. Allen Mettemich, but a three-year-old in the Camp of the Kahoks, has had three mighty good seasons. He has taken some inexperienced basketball players and made ball players that enjoy the respect and honor of all coaches and players. On to state both Mettemich and Dallape, Mettemich with the team and Dallape as a student at Illinois! ACTION SHOTS TAKEN BY BUD POINTER NINETY-TWO COACH METTERNICH, MANAGER BUSIERE.

The season started out rather successfully with the Kahoks winning three out of five warm-up games. The Indians were hot as they won their .first three conference games by huge scores but soon cooled off when Granite City stopped them cold. The Kahoks finally got started again by defeating Madison and winning four straight games which included a win over Granite City. But Wood River threw a monkey wrench into the works by defeating the Indians in what was probably the hardest fought contest of the year. Conference play ended when the Kahoks got revenge on their rival, Edwardsville, who had defeated them earlier in the season. The Kahoks finished third in the conference with ten wins and four losses. Leo Dallape broke the conference scoring record with 215 points in fourteen games. Norman Whitchurch was placed on the second all-conference team and was elected captain of next year's squad. Collinsville entered the Regional Tournament held at Belleville. They defeated Mascoutah 35-22 and went to the finals after defeating East St. Louis by the close score of 36-30. The Indians lost the final to a fine O'Fallon quintet, thus becoming Regional runnersup. In the Sectional Tournament, the Kahoks were eliminated from further competition in the first game by Livingston. Hopes of seeing the ‘39-'40 basketball team in the State Tournament had to be abandoned. The Kahokian Staff and the school wish to congratulate Mr. Mettemich on his fine coaching and the team for their fine play and sportsmanship. Incidentally, the Southwestern Conference can indeed be proud that it has a state champion in its midst, namely, Granite City which received its worst beating of the year at the hands of our Kahoks by the score of 41-28. NINETY-THREE 7-4420 COACH METTERNICH issued the call for track enthusiasts on March 18 and about thirty-eight boys came out. The track was reported to be in fine condition, so training began at once. A few of the boys were already in condition as they had been training throughout the winter. This year there were more experienced boys on the squad than last so the track team was counted on to win quite a number of its meets. Their first meet was with two of the strongest track teams in the conference and they really had a chance to show their stuff. The returning lettermen were Kenneth Nichols, high hurdles; Lloyd Cairns, mile; Irl Edwards, quarter mile; and Norman Whitchurch, weights. These boys formed the nucleus about which the team was built. This year the javelin event was removed from the list of track events due to its danger, so Leo Dallape, who was district and conference champ in this event, shifted his efforts to the discus. Some of the boys from whom much was expected were Rodger Buckles, middle distance; Norman Wrigley, sprints and broad jump; Geno Chiapelli, pole vault; and Melvin Neubauer in the high hurdles.

PAPPROTH NINETY-FOUR esutii, WITH clay courts finally available below the hill, and the largest squad reporting since depression hit the sport in the early thirties, tennis seemed in the spring of '40 to be on the upswing. An ambitious schedule of dual meets and larger tournaments was arranged. Despite the fact that April rains sent the Kahoks into early matches without practice, prospects were good for a well-balanced team in the all-important conference meet early in June. George Millice was the only returning letterman. Most of the squad members were underclassmen. Lewis Weible, Leroy Barton, Harry McFarlane, Robert Hicks, and Robert Bates were seniors to be lost through graduation.

BARTON, WIEBLE, NICOL NINETY-FIVE feaA ball LAST YEAR the WPA changed the old softball diamond into a baseball field. Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Koelling were appointed coaches, and the call for baseball aspirants was placed. A goodly number of boys reported and a team was formed. The venture proved to be quite successful so this year Coaches Fletcher and Koelling have vowed they will give the school a real ball team. The call was placed again this year and about twenty-four boys reported. From this number about eighteen boys will be kept on the team. To those who do make the team, congratulations on being on Collinsville's first conference baseball team since 1930. This year the national pastime is again being made a conference sport and so the boys will really have some tough games and also something at which to shoot. At the time of this writing the results of the season cannot be stated, but the school wishes the team the best of luck in all their games and she will back them to the very last man. The 1939-1940 schedule: April 12—Valmeyer here April 23—Granite City there April 30—East St. Louis here May 3—Waterloo there May 6—Valmeyer there May 10—Belleville there May 15—Granite City here May 17—Waterloo here May 21—East St. Louis here May 28—Belleville here S.
