NORMA MADDALINO, Editor-in-Chief DeLORES THOMAS, Associate Editor 2 VOLUME 21 presented by the KAHOKIAN staff Norma Maddalino DeLores Thomas Glen Schuermann Carol Bitzer Jim Bieser Harold Chamberlain David Moore Wanda Wilkinson Lillian Haluch Shirley Knoebel Doris Fedder Edythe Walker Anne Wall Gerry Lewis Edith Anne Windsor Harold Stephenson Jan Holzer Genevieve Loyet Thilerna Haddick Mary Bruns Joan Fredrickson Mary Wood Joyce McCann Juanita Harris Wanda Harris Janet Doran 3 FOREWORD The theme of this yeor's Kahokian is world friendship. This thought is in everyone's mind during these post-wor days and the big job of the time is the establishment of friendship among all the nations of the world. We must not consider our task to be finished just because the fighting is over. It will be an even greater undertaking to establish permanent peace than it was to emerge as the victor in the fighting. We, the future voters of this country will be charged with the success or failure of preventing another world war. We hope to awaken all CTHS students to the importance of establishing lasting world friendship and permanent peace among all the nations. With this important theme, the Staff presents the Kahokian of 1947.

He is a friend, advisor, and leader to all who know him. The high standards that are maintained by the school can be credited to him. He has brought about the splendid teacher-student relationship that now exists.

We hope our generation will take an active part in establishing permanent friendship among all nations. This would mean the beginning of lasting peace and young people could go out into this friendly world without being handicapped.

THE BAND An outstanding and a familiar feature of school life is the high school band. Under the inspiring leadership of F. C. Kreider the band furnishes entertainment at the games as well as exceptional season concerts, which are dedicated to different civic organizations. The success of the trip to Texas proves to us that our band is something of which to be proud. Prof. Kreider 50 GLEE CLUB The hard-working Glee Club, whose officers are Patsy Gower (President), Mike Haig (Vice President), Edith Ann Windsor (Secretary-Treasurer), Dolores Brianti (Librarian), has practiced many hours to prepare for the coming events of the year. They will present an operetta sometime in March. In May they will attend the District Contest, and give a concert in the gym. 51 CHEER CLUB The Triple C . The gals behind the guys, especially if the going gets tough! These chicks give out with a chorus of yells that spur the Kahoks on to glory! They can't be surpassed for school spirit, and their loyalty is contagious as well as inspiring to all . . . Congrats to their able sponsor Albena , also to our cheer leaders who have put these gals on the beam! Joan, Pat, Delores, Bonnie 52 CHANTICLEER The gals' and guys have done a swell job this year dishing out the current events. Edith Ann Windsor has proven herself a capable editor assisted by; Phyllis Betts of the Business Staff; Dorris Bonham, Society Editor; and Frost Theiss, Sports Editor. They have shown how a first class school paper can be produced on time. The Chanticleer's sponsor is Miss Kinsey, who, we think deserves a hand of applause for her outstanding work.

Not only is their effort beneficial to Miss Eckart and to us, but gives the members a working knowledge of the training a career in library science would require. LATIN CLUB This club was revived this year by popular demand and had functioned effectively since its first meeting. Two highlights of the year's work are the Fall Open House and Latin Week program it sponsors in April. KAHOKIAN STAFF If this volume doesn't automatically explain the job of the Kahokian staff we may well consider our time wasted. The planning and producing of a year-book demands more hours of downright labor than most casual observers can imagine. An annual's success depends, as do most things, on constant cooperation This year's staff can boast an abundance of that. Norma Maddalino—a good editor—a good staff.

Sponsors are Miss Kinsey and our coach. Gr. A. A. In our active G.A.A. the very efficient officers are Byrle James (President), Donna Roedger (Vice. Pres.), Ruby Henrickson (Sec'y, Treas.). Due to the illness of Mrs. Wade, Miss Nelson has taken over as sponsor. 58 TRI-Y The Tri Hi Y Club of Collinsville! This club, sponsored by Mrs. Skaggs, is one of the organizations at C.T.H.S. which will go far in its work. Its work is to create Christian character in all young people.

VISUAL AIDERS These cooperative fellows sacrifice free periods each day to operate the school's motion picture machinery showing films that are used for instruction purposes in all classes of the school; they earn our gratitude. ORCHESTRA These full-fledged musicians have a fine background of talent through their years of work with our famed high school band. They reflect favorably on their band instruction by supplying the rhythm at dances. 60 CHEER LEADERS Admittedly, C.T.H.S. has had some talented members in the cheering department, but this year's foursome of cheer leaders has struck an all-time high as far as unision and accuracy of timing are concerned. Above all, they make an attractive appearance and execute their job with a precision and good taste second to none in the conference. We regard these girls as a definite asset to our school and cannot forget the person behind their success . . . Albena. Congratulations! A. Bilzer, (7. Jenkins, G. Blaylock, S. Hough 61 An important part of our school's program is its four branches of seasonal sports—football, basketball, baseball, and track. These sports are open to all interested boys and are enthusiastically supported by the non-participating students whose interest is needed. ZU 2 2. t Coach Virgil Fletcher accomplished a fine job in his first year of coaching after being discharged from the Army. He moved some former linemen to the backfield and did a lot of experimenting to get the best players possible to fill the places vacated by last year's seven varsity grads. Coach received some valuable aid from Assistant Coach Glen Deason and Cus Soelke. Much of their time was spent teaching fundamentals to the squad. Head Back Roic—Vox, Brown, Canull.

First Row - Adams, Keene. Malone, Doyle, Bulcroft, Theiss. Schmidt, Ungerott. 64 COACHES manager, Joe Albertina, along with the other managers, Clay Wyatt and Fritz Barker, did a swell job. The hard work they put in on their important jobs as student managers was appreciated by the team and players alike. They earned their letters as much as did anyone else on the squad. Clay and Fritz will return next year to try and give as much help then as they did this year. Coaches Solke, Fletcher, Deason 65 Bocks—Swoby and Ungerott DON UNGEROTT — All-Conference fullback and Most Valuable Player on team. Was both passer and powerman. KRAUT SCHMIDT—A glue-fingered pass receiver. Always pepped it up and kept the team fighting. Co-Captain. BIG ED CORCORAN-—A mainstay of the line. This fine tackle broke through on many tough plays. A Co-Captain. FRANK PITOL— PI-TOL made second team All-Conference. Was a valuable asset at tackle and also a kicker. DON BULCROFT—Shifted from center to guard. A steady player who could always be expected to do his very best. FROST THEIS—This small guard held his own against much bigger competition. A good man on downfield blocking. 66 SEASON SCORES Collinsville 6 Collinsville 6 Collinsville 47 Collinsville 6 Collinsville 27 Collinsville 12 Collinsville 0 Collinsville 7 Collinsville 19 KAHOK LINEMEN Mary, Corcoran, Pitol, Woods, Crocker Sparta 0 Benld 8 Madison 6 East St. Louis 27 Wood River 13 Edwardsville 0 Belleville 14 Granite City 20 Alton 12 1946 GUARDS W.

The Kahoks record of 29-5 is the best in recent years. Taking over as new basketball mentor, Coach V. Fletcher had to experiment a bit but soon came up with a winning combination which was composed of two seniors and three juniors. The rest of the first ten played an important part in developing the regulars and were valuable subs. 68 CAGERS There are Grimm, Ray, Rossio, Weber, and Schaulat. The Purple and White were head and shoulders above the rest of the conference. They were acclaimed as one of the greatest teams ever seen in the Southwestern Circuit. Superb team play and scoring ability of all the players was outstanding, and many games were pulled out of the fire by their strong last half. The perfect home record and many thrillers were viewed with satisfaction by all and will be remembered by the multitude of Kahok fans. Rack Row—Thompson. Adams, Sonnenberg, Schaulat, Grimm, Canull. Front Row—Anderson, Weber, Pitol, Ungerott, Ray, Miranda. 69 FIRST FIVE Coach Fletcher ANDERSON—Best defensive man in the Conference. A ball-hawk and set-shot artist who sank 'em but good.

Helped form one of the most aggressive rebound routines SONNENBERG—The most improved player on the team. Noted for his fine team play, fighting spirit and skill. UNGEROTT—All Conference and All District player by majority choice.

Their final record was 8 and 6. Tight pitching by Petchulat and Weber was predominant. With six returning regulars, one of them the team's leading batter, Schmidt, the outlook for '47 is excellent.

Doris Fedder At the end of seven semesters in high school, Doris is the possessor of the highest grade average among the senior girls HIGHEST SENIOR Leads the senior boys in grade rating at the end of seven semesters, also. His average was acquired over the 3 2 years. Bernard Evers 77 Bill Needle After five semesters attendance, Gerry's record at the midway stop in her junior year places her at the very head of the junior girls. Also a junior, Bill's average of grades was compiled over the same length of time and defintely shows his leadership of the boys. Gerry Lewis 78 Has an enviable record at the end of three semesters as is proved by her accumulation of A's in the office permanent record system. Frank is the pace setter in the grade department as far as the boys of the sophomore class are concerned. Rotes high in general. Dorothy Keck Frank Pavlisin GOOD CITIZENSHIP GIRL Marilyn Haig From omong the senior girls, Marilyn Haig was chosen by faculty vote as best representative of the honored title Good Citizenship Girl.' Each year a senior girl is so recognized by the D. A. R. and it is indeed an honor to the girl chosen. We are happy to acknowledge Mike as our student who possesses the qualities of a good citizen 80 The football season closed with the usual coronation ceremony. Usual in that it is an annual event, but unusual this year in its beauty and dignity. The retiring queen appeared first escorted by the football captain, Don Ungerott. She was followed by the last maid of honor and her escort, proceeding through the given order of maids and escorts until she relinquished the coveted throne to the 1946-47 queen,Wanda Wilkinson. The following pictures will testify os to the beauty and splendor of the court. All hail to the Queen!
