Darling Mr. Darling received the appointment to the superintendency upon the untimely death of Mr. Burroughs just shortly prior to the opening of school last foil. And, being thrust into even this difficult assignment unexpectedly, he has handled the job masterfully. Mr. Darling had come well recommended by o fine record of managing the local grade schools. We feel his administrative talents are a definite asset to our school, and consider ourselves very fortunate to have him. 6 WILLIAM P. HALE, in addition to teaching classes in mechanical drawing, is our able assistant to the principal, and also is the temporary dean of boys. EVA RENFRO handles a full teaching assignment, actively executes the duties of dean of girls, and, all the while, remains a perennial student favorite. MARY RUTH CUNNINGHAM is unopposed contender for the title, Nicest National Efficiency Expert. We insist our gal outshines all comers! ! ! ALBENA UBAUDI has the too often thankless job of doing the multitude of essential little things that make the school function. She's tops, too. William P.

Though being a comparatively small class, they have made a fine showing so far, and are headed toward much success in their remaining years of high school. The class, under the guidance of Miss Bare and Miss Quernheim, sponsors, chose the following for their class officers: Chuck Bugger, president, Bert Weber for vice president, Shirley Reed, secretary, with Barbara Cargnino treasurer.

Too, we look to this class as the one hope of the future of C. T. H. S. to build a better student attitude for the improvement of this school. We look to you, class of 1948, to recognize the needs for a renewed student cooperation, a will to do the right so as to make for the betterment of your class and those to follow. The order is a large one, but can be realized by the properly aimed efforts of a group that has in it the ability to make improvement. Shirley, Bert, Barbara Charles Rack Row—Wright, Stephenson, W.

The first fotball game of the season—almost. It was postponed on of account rain. Southwest High licks us in the first football game of the season. Score was 2 to 0. OCTOBER Another football game, this time with Wood River, and we smeared them for a change. We had a liquid air demonstration, so now we have decided we want to be chemists! Football again—to Edwardsville's credit. It proved that we can score more than once. Teachers' Institute, and we have two days vacation. We believe in more meetin's! ! ! Belleville trampled the Kahoks, our team crippled by loss of players in the previous game. The Happy Warriors of Granite City crush the sad Kahoks of Collinsville. Score 34 to 6. Oh, moan, it's time for the first report cards. I guess I should have begun worrying sooner The Lions Club sponsored a Hallowe'en dance — with some swell prizes for costumes. 44 OUR p The Student Council's purpose is to assist with the administration of our school. A noteworthy fact is that any assignment given this group is handled with the utmost efficiency and success. A couple of illustrations in proof of this point are its successful Coronation, Student Council its Memorial Committee's capable planning for a worthy symbol of Mr. Burroughs' memory, and many lesser assignments quietly and successfully executed.

Chanticleex With hard-working Rose Kirchner heading the staff, plus Earl Gent assisting in the mechanical departments, the Chanticleer was dressed up this year with various features. The present staff was efficient and capable. Special praise is given to the trio of sports reciters, Brad Farnworth, Bob Adamitis and Larry Daly, and those faithful typists. Miss Kinsey joined Mrs. Swank as the additional sponsor of the paper and changed some of the operating policies. Apparently the staff was a success. Rosie and Karl 50 mm Kahokian Staff We consider this volume the saga of C.T.H.S. Under our capable advisors, Miss Linder and Mr. Hale, we have striven to present to the students a book befitting the school year of '45. Outstanding were the class writeups of Leland Pinkel and Emily Musso, plus the business management of Noreen Lauth and Eleanor Adcock. Our co-editors were DeLores Williams and Scoot'1 Schild-knecht. This is the result of the hard work of a few staff members. We know everyone will appreciate our efforts. Scoot” ami “Willi Hack Row—Adcock, lllaha, Richichl, Musso, Maddalino. Dieu. Gibson. Lauth.

As providers of pep at the many sports events, they are beyond reproach. Even when the scoring is against us, the spirit of the cheering group continues to show the fellows they are not forsaken, regardless of bad breaks. For a school with championship records from a way back, our cheer club just has to act effectively. This year's scalpers are made to order.

A fine corps of officers make the organization function efficiently; these include Irene Bolandis as president; Sera Caia, vice president; Vivian Weseman as secretary: and Rose Caia, treasurer. During the year they sponsor many sports seasons including archery, basketball, soft ball, and soccer. They also feature the Sadie Hawkins Dance; really they are about the most active gals here.

J ibtaty, Club The Library Club is a group of girls, consisting of seniors, juniors, and sophomores. They are elected by the old members. After they have been initiated, the girls order, take Miss Eckart's place if she is away, and file work at the desk, shelve the books, keep the shelves in cards and do lots of other interesting and educational things in the Library Club. This year, just as in the past years, the Club undertook to teach the freshmen how to find the books they want and to use the card catalogue. 54 � Science Club The Science Explorers, with the sponsorship of Mr. Wade, Miss Bare, Mrs. Howard and Mr. Chandler, was organized at the beginning of the school year. The club sponsored a special assembly program presented by Mr. J. H. Harwell of the Audobon Society of America. At its first formal meeting the members elected Dorothy Stephens president with Jane Critser for vice-president, Doris Burge, treasurer, and Eleanor Adcock, secretary. Membership is for all who are interested in furthering scientific studies. Dykes, Burge, Musso, Adcock, Williams Standing—Mr. Wade. Blaha, Evans. Schoeck. Giknis. Schiller. Birki, Craniner, Loyet.

It is a DAILY pleasure with this group which sings in designated class periods, and additional practices in preparation for the operetta. As usual the operetta was a climax of the year's activity, and was a very pleasing gypsy theme patterned on some of the music of Franz Liszt. A well-chosen cast handled the singing and acting with very near professional quality and accuracy. 56 For yeors the high school bond hos stayed one of the proudest possessions of our community. Each year, through the tireless efforts of Mr. Kreider, that pride is justifiably increased. Starting from scratch, Mr. Kreider built a national championship band in record time. But it hasn't been allowed Z)he J3and to rest on past laurels; each year for the past three yeors, an interesting program of concerts has been presented, and each attracts a greater crowd than the one before—growing proof of the popularity of our band. We ore duly proud of an aggregation of such fine musicians and its maestro. 57 National J4onot The National Honor Society has its representation in our school with a local chapter consisting of qualifying juniors and seniors. Its standards are necessarily high, and to merit membership is a coveted honor of high type students. The first requirement for selection is a good scholastic rating; following that the eligible students are evaluated by faculty vote on personality traits. An elimination ballot is followed by a second form so that the chosen few are honored in being assured that theirs is no haphazard choice, but a really discriminating vote. 1944-1945 MEMBERSHIP Claude Schildknecht Bradley Farnworth Vice Rosemary Lawson Ruth Long Robert Dellamano John Radosevich August Lohmon Rose Marie Kirchner Joyce Scaggs President President Secretary T reasurer SPONSORS Miss Elfrieda Brede Mr. Jesse Chandler 58 ZJke Calendar NOVEMBER We burn Madison in effigy.

And, as usual, we have a brand new set of resolutions. ! ! We defeat the Flyers in a thriller. Score tied until the very last minute of the game. Two injuries resulted from a fire which started in the north end of the basement. Loring Campbell, a California magician, mystified us all in an assembly this week. The second band concert of the season featured local talent, a United Nations Rhapsody. Gosh, kids, it's time for semester examinations — I think they ought to be abolished! FEBRUARY Colly, wasn't it swell that Lincoln lived in Illinois? He made a holiday for all of us! We play Wood River on their own floor —during the first half it was neck- n -neck. The third band concert measured up to their usual standard—worth anybody s money. The sophomores show what they can do by sponsoring a dance. Everybody was there. Kahoks slap down the Madison five on their own floor in the last out-of-town game. The regionals were played at Wood River. We emerge victorious! On to the sectionals! 72 ZJhe Calendar MARCH We smash Belleville in the sectional, played here in our own gym. On to the State! We had the dubious honor of being beaten by Decatur, the champs, in state contest! The fourth band concert was, as usual, marvelous. We should have them more often. The juniors sponsor an all school dance, and was it a success! Nobody missed it. APRIL Another teachers' meeting! But we figure, the more the merrier. For us, of course. Student Council sponsors another dance! Have they a corner on school activities? The last band concert of the season. Too bad all good things must come to an end. The fifth six-weeks is over and report cards are out. Well — just one more to go ! ! MAY Amen, the finals are over. One good thing about them, they come only once a year! The last dance of the year, gosh hasn't it been fun? Yes, we'll certainly miss it all! The prom was definitely the best one ever. They did a lot of good work to put it over! Don't the seniors look proud in their caps and gowns—going to build a better world! 77 Mill Votil Huttje.
