His versatile management of a school's complex routine does not go unappreciated. Due to his earnest efforts our scholastic standards have been enhanced. Absenteeism is his pet peeve, and the fact that it has shown a reduction is not due to an attendance prize. Mr. D. K. Darling 9 SECRETARIES Mary Ruth Cunningham On official dispatches requesting you to report to the office you may have noticed the letters M. R. C.

THE PEOPEE OF IEEIMOIS As I gaze from the window, I can see the gently sloping hills and rolling plains, two of the many attributes of Illinois. I say many, in that they are too numerous to mention here. Among these, and heading them, is the people. They are a proud but commonplace people, not unlike the people of the other 47 states, but yet different in their own way. They are all alike in that they are Americans. And as Americans, they go about their jobs, each performing their duties faithfully, and to the better- ment of their country, and of his state; yet they are different in their color, their language, and their religions. But whether Negro or white, Chinese or English, Protestant or Catholic, they are a people proud with one pride: pride for their country, with its mountains, hills and plains; proud of the men who fought, shed their blood, and died for it. Proud not least, for our great state of Illinois. —CAROL NICOL, Freshman Class IEEINOIS Illinois takes its name from the Indian word Illini, meaning man, and was the name by which the tribes originally inhabiting the present state were known. Illinois has long been known as the Prairie State. It is also called the Sucker State, a nickname usually traced back to the Galena miners of the 1820s. Commenting on the large number of men who came up to work in the mines, then left in a short time, the miners said they were like suckers which came up the river in the spring, spawned, and returned down again in the fall. Because of the central geographical location, and because Chicago—the second largest city in the western hemisphere—is within its borders, Illinois has become the hub of the continent. From its fertile fields come enormous quantities of farm produce, and from Illinois pastures and feed lots come livestock for feeding millions of people. From our factories, mills, and forests pours a flow of manufactured goods ranging from glass to railroad cars. Illinois is the greatest slaughtering and meat packing center of the world, and it leads the states in the manufacturing of agricultural machinery, candy, and com products. Chicago has long been one of the world's greatest grain markets. Rich in minerals, Illinois mines more silica sand than any other state, and is a leader in the production of coal and oil. Illinois is an outstanding cultural center noted for its museums, libraries, colleges and universities. Its historic shrines and science places also attract visitors in large numbers. 18 —LOIS BROWN, Freshman Class .

The novel is enjoyable in some chapters, but on the whole, there isn't enough good material to suffice for the imperfections of the book. The novel lists in reality the development into manhood of a sensitive, trusting boy beset from every side by crushing difficulties. Doctor Cronin's novel is the story of Robert Shannon, a boy who has but one object in life and that is to achieve the salvage of his own soul. The story is based on family home life. It deals with the home, the family, school, friends, church, love, and ambition. All these things may recall comparable trials and crises in the life of the reader. In all of Doctor Cronin's stories you will find evidence of the sympathetic understanding of human weakness and emotions. This may be plainly seen in the characterization of Father Francis, the youthful Catholic priest, in The Keys of the Kingdom, who tried to make lives worth living, and it is shown in The Green Years. Robert Shannon fighting against staggering odds to salvage his own soul. The tender-hearted step-mother of Robert Shannon who seeks to aid Robby, but is only held back by the penny pinching stepfather who contends that a morsel of bread in the stomach will soon disappear, but a shilling in the bank may always be at hand. The novel has many other characters to deal with also, but primarily it is the story of Robert Shannon and Cadger Gow, who is the irresponsible, boasting, penniless grandfather who rises to glorious heights at the climax of the story. Characteristic scenes may always be found in Cronin novels, and the outstanding one is the marshal incident which is given full meaning by the author. Day after day, week after week, the day of the exam is drawing near. As Robert Shannon sits at his desk, history, math., English, science, and mechanics keep ringing through his ears. Coffee cups are seen set to one side. Textbooks are piled high, the professor and Robert keep pounding the facts into that tired, weary brain. The night draws to a close and the dawn of another day breaks through, but still little rest. What price Education? the people say, but day after day the learning process continues and the rain begins to fall. The first day of the exams has arrived. A short hop to London and then to the college buildings. The day has come, it is time to remember and not to forget, and yet the rain falls. Robbie has developed a slight cold. Having passed the second day, he can pass the final day. The final exam day has arrived and the tests are passed out, Robert Shannon's is set aside with diphtheria under the caption, Disqualification. The rest of the book is given to sketches of Scottish home life. The marshal incident is played up splendidly by the author, but it loses weight due to the lack of other interesting material which I believe should have been placed in the book. However, the book drew public attention and therefore, The Green Years will have to remain with the other novels of our time. The Green Years may be a good novel for some people, but for me, I would be rather hesitant to present it as a gift to my best friend. —GLENN SCHUERMANN, Senior Class. 35 BACK row: walker, b. woods, a. woods, woodruff, williams, WEEKLEY, WELLS, WARFIELD, WOODRING.

They have given very effective programs on education. This club is bound to make a good name for itself. 55 Mrs. Walter Holtgreve, Director THE GEEE6EUE The Glee Club got ofi to a good start this year with the operetta, Are You Listenin'? The Messiah was given on December 11, 1947. Other activities of the year were: Gay Nineties Revue, Music Festival, the contest, and they also gave two concerts. Ruth Lowe was elected president. Bob Jennings, vice-president; JoAnn Welle, secretary-treasurer; Raymond Peradot-ti, librarian. Directed this year by Mrs. W. Holtgreve. 56 JfoAND The band, under the capable direction of Mr. F. C. Kreider, had its usual concerts and spring tour this year. They started the year with a big D-E-E-R feed, held in the gym, for band students and their parents. Their routines and playing at all the games were outstanding. The band can well be proud of their record of achievement, both in local events and New Orleans. •Prof Dorothy, Norma, Jessie, Barbara HI TR1 The Hi-Tri organization of C. T. H. S. with their always proficient president Barbara Cargnino, and accurate secretary, Norma Jean Bluemner, have indeed finished an outstanding year of service.

They have all put forth a great deal of unselfish time and effort toward making this one of the school's finest dance bands. They are what helps to set a higher standard among school dances.

The C is highly prized, and the competition afforded by sports a much more valuable reward by molding good character and sportsmanship. Cross-country running and tennis are additions to a well planned field. 63 Gail and Bill FCOTBxAXX) Captain Weber Bert Weber needs no introduction! He's considered an all-round regular fellow by both the guys and the gals. He proved to be very efficient as the captain of our swell football team. Not only is he good as quarterback, but he participates in basketball and baseball too. Besides all that — he's an accomplished artist! 64 FOOTE)AId]L J. D. ANDERSON—Real sport. Best ball carrier on team. WARREN CANULL—Shifty ball carrier—captain next year. BILL SWABY—Hard driving fullback and a sure blocker. JIM RAY—Hard pacing runner, played well in backfield. TOM BROWN—Best defensive halfback in the conference. ED GUDELAUSKI—Good defensive end, able pass catcher. RAY SONNENBERG—Outstanding lineman in conference. REESE HOSKINS—Relied-on sub. Promising for next year. BOBBY BUHL—Always relied on for yardage. Real fella. RICH FEDDER—Guard or tackle. Played with much skill. DEWEY SMITH—Heaviest man on squad. Always tough. HOMER MALONE—The best downfield blocker on team. HENRY KEEN—Can be relied on. Good substitute tackle. RAY ADAMS—One of the best tacklers in the conference. EUGENE SWAIN Really tough. Injured most of the year. BERT MESTEL—All conference center and fine blocker BOBBY WOOD—Guard. Always in opponents' backfield. FOOTRAIdIo Coach Deason and Coach Fletcher Coach Fletcher has done a remarkable job this year, not only out on the gridiron, but also by developing sportsmanship among all the boys. The 1947 football season got off to a good start with the Mount Olive game. The score was tied. In all, nine games were played; the other eight being five won and three lost. During the season a few players were injured, but showed very good sportsmanship. Each player with a specific position helped bring the team through to their victories. Throughout the season the weather was mostly rainy and cold. In spite of this discomfort, the squad and coach can boast a good year. 66 SCORES WE THEY Mount Olive 13 13 21 0 Madison 38 0 Alton 26 6 East St. Louis 6 13 Edwardsville 24 7 Wood River 12 13 Belleville 13 12 Granite City 13 19 67 Rated as No. 1 in the state for most of the season, the powerful Kahoks chalked up a record of 28-2, the best ever at CTHS. Under Coach V. Fletcher's expert guidance they won the East St. Louis Holiday Tournament, breezed through to the Conference Championship, and advanced through Regional and Sectional to the sweet sixteen. A state tournament favorite, the Kahoks were knocked off by a hot Marion five, 65-60, in their first game at Champaign.

The junior varsity, led by Thompson, Leskera, Canull, D. Fedder and Adams, had to pull some games out of the fire in the last bit of playing time; but as the future varsity, they should travel far in basketball circles. The second quintet— Benvenuto, Renfro, Harrison, Kraak, and Lee, made a very fine showing in frequent exhibitions of know-how. TRACK Fielding the best C. T. H.S. track team in the last five years. Coach V. Fletcher's 1947 cinder-men turned in some sparkling performances. They were crowned the Madison County champs, placed third in both Conference Relays (setting records in the sprint and distance medley relays) and the Senior Conference.

Besides that he also had the honor of being chosen an All-State Football Star. Ray's tall, dark, 'n we do mean handsome. His friendly manner has gained him a multitude of friends. 82 ALLSTATE CAGRR Sammy Miranda—the smallest but mightiest player in the cage. He was chosen Prep Player of the Year last year by popular votes of both students and citizens of Collinsville. He does something spactacular in every game — and those long sinkers of his will always be a wonder. 83 V. I. P.’S (very important people) Bill's presence in the art class and Honor Society will be missed. His ability and fine character are assets in any school's life. Joan has consistently made herself available for all behind scenes details of successful events. Never out for glory, she'll be missed. Glenn has worked hard to accomplish school projects through the Student Council. As president he served the students in a way to make us proud. 64 Football captain par excellence— fine scholastic record — superb artist—manly virtue—these make Bert unanimous choice in any poll. Bob took care of the Public Address System. Without him, it would have been impossible to give successful assembly programs. We'll miss him. Maxine captured all honors from the G.A.A. She was a regular committee” girl. Whenever anything needed to be done. Max was ready and willing. Charlene made a very capable editor of the Chanticleer this year. She not only kept it up to par, but also made a vast number of improvements. 85 Anne has played in the band for four years. She plays flute, and she is also quite accomplished as pianist. She has always willingly served us. Dot has given twelve hours a week working in the library. As president of the club, she has proved to be an efficient assistant to Miss Eckart. Theresa is one of the best helpers that an office girl could ever have—■ Albena will verify this! Her quiet cooperation will be greatly missed. Ruth served as president of the Glee Club this year. She also had a lead in the operetta. Without doubt she has been a real asset to the chorus. 66 V. I. P.’S (very important people) Dorothy was a charter member of the Hi-Tri. She was the hardest worker, and most faithful member in the club. Her presence will surely be missed. Bette is the gal who is always on hand when she's needed. She can be depended on to turn up whenever she can be of service. A friend to all. Norman's the boy who knows all there is to know about the motion picture projector. He has been invaluable in helping to present visual education. Joan has given many hours of unselfish service in the ticket booth of the cafeteria and has been a willing worker on various school enterprises. 87 1. Forced grin? 2. Whatsa rush? 3.

Darling, governor of Illinois, is taking a trip throughout the United States to see what has happened to the students of the class of '48. (At that time he was still principal of dear old C. T. H. S.) So—D. K. takes his gilt-edged crutches, and hobbles to a plane—then starts on his sight-seeing journey. He begins in New York. There he finds Juanita Harris established on Park Avenue writing a sequel to her best selling novel, Who Came First—The Apple or the Worm? While in New York, he decides to take in a show. And what should he see! There in the third row from the front sat Glenn Schuermann throwing rotten tomatoes at Rose Ann Kilna, the burlesque queen 1 (Mr. Darling, the kind of shows you attend! tsk!) Upon leaving the show he bumps into the street cleaner. The street cleaner turns around and—lo and behold—it's Bill Needle! After a short talk with Bill, he catches a ferry to Manhattan Island. On the ferry he meets Joyce Fischer who is taking her four sets of twins for a boat-ride. Returning from Manhattan, D. K. takes a train and leaves for Brooklyn. He goes to see the Dodgers play.

When he arrives, bands are playing, speeches are being poured forth, and there on the platform is Bette Rosenthal. Upon getting a closer view, D. K. sees posters all around—- Rosenthal—the best cow-milker in the state of Wisconsin. My, what heights our students have risen tol . . . A hush falls over the crowd . . . then a blast of bugles . . . the applause is deafening, as Mayor John Rossio rises to speak. As he finishes, Joe Giglotto, the president of the Ladies Auxiliary, rises to give his opinion! Don Robinson picks up his billyclub, beans Joe on the head, and drags him off to the city jail. Don thinks his opinion might have Communistic influence on the mayor. Once again Jim Ostle's band blares forth, with Hit 'em on the head—Drag 'em through the street. D. K. wanders from the gathering and mingles with other crowds. Suddenly—he feels something in his rib—terrified he turns around—and he is face to face with Gil Capone Bollinger—the world's No. 1 tooth pick thief! D. K. gives him all he has, and is then allowed to go on his way. Leaving Wisconsin, D. K. journeys to Minnesota. Upon arrival, he meets Alvin Osborn who is well established in the .(Wash Your Own—Or You'll Be Sorry Laundry! Employed in the laundry are Christine Origliasso, the official clothes-pin holder, and Udell Meyer, the sewer of the buttons. Deciding to take in a few sights, he goes to a water show being held at Lake Superior. The main feat of the evening is Martha Fletcher and her deep-sea diving act. In the evening he goes to the carnival. Gee . . . the Collinsville students that have taken up show work! Ray Peradotti, the barker, is announcing a sideshow featuring Norman Holzweg as the two-headed man from Borneo. Evelyn Quagliotti is featured as Muscle-bound Matilda—the woman who developed Charles Atlas. As D. K. goes along he meets Don Newgent who has just been awarded the blue ribbon for making the best homemade preserves! That Don—what a wonderful wife he makes!

Frank tried to invent a way to get the kernel from a walnut without cracking the shell. Time goes by ,and as much as he hates to, D. K. must be on his way. His next stop is Los Angeles. He visits the Whew Studio and finds Bert Mestel producing his new picture, Lights on Broadway—or— Candles Are Cheaper. Starred in the picture are— Marilyn Kunnemann as Mag—the Hag; and Jim Mell as Poochie—the Hound. As he leaves the studio he encounters Jack Adams who is selling apples on the comer of Hollywood and Vine. The apple cart is partly owned by Joe Albertina, whose job is to stand on the comer and shout Apples for sale. Orville Ahring accompanies Joe with music. Ah! What teamwork! While D.

Although he is enjoying himself, he realizes he must leave. He has a ticket for a Rodeo in Denver, Col. The star of the Rodeo is Wanda Agles. (She took Roy Rodgers' place as King of the Cowboys). When he arrives, he hunts Wanda up. Outside her dressing room he finds Bill Thomas guarding her door—with a pistol in each hand. In the audience he sees Shirley Wood and Carol Bluemner enjoying themselves knitting. D. K. relaxes as the rodeo begins. First on the agenda is Bill Swaby. (He has to sweep the arena before the show can start). Next is Mary Lou Stroup—running with all her might—after her is a large overgrown (?) man (?)—namely Bob Sova .The question of the minute is Will she make it—Or will he too escape?

After seeing this, D. K. decides it's time for him to leave. He finally arrives in St. Louis. He goes to Famous-Barr Co. especially to see Joyce McCann, the skilled elevator operator. After riding up and down a few times, he meanders down to the bargain basement. He finds Zelma Pearson and Mary Eberhart in a hairpulling fight over a $1.98 dress which is on sale for 75 cents. Don Hefferly, the poor, confused clerk, doesn't quite know how to settle the dispute. Next he leaves the business district and visits the St. Louis University. There he finds J. D. Anderson, Sam Miranda, and Ray Sonnenberg, who after 25 years have finally succeeded in acquiring their diplomas. Ah—at last—College Graduates! Jim Ray, their favorite professor, has done much to help them. D. K. ambles out to the airport. There he finds Bob Buhl and Gerry Lewis boarding a plane bound for Russia. After 25 years, that Economics Class had some influence! Harold Stephenson is there, seeing them off. Good old faithful Harold! Deep in his heart he's still a capitalist.

K. returns to the city and visits Barnes Hospital. His purpose is to visit Dorothy Kill 'em Quick Smola, the noted surgeon. He also meets Byrle James, who is still a nurses's aide. Poor Byrle, she just doesn't advance very fast. He is much surprised to find Gaild Jenkins, The Metropolitan Opera Star, laid up with a hang-nail. Sharing Gaila's room is Darlene On, who is lying between life and death from eating onions on her hamburgers. As he leaves their room, he sees John Robbins, who is scrubbing the floors. John tells him Lillian Halluck is lying on the second floor. She was typing, and her finger slipped off the key. At the rate of speed at which it was going—it almost proved fatal. Leaving the hospital he bumps into Dale Feather-stone and Ronald Bode, who are competing for the title, Who's the Least Important,” Shirley Jaeger and Arthur Gray are coaching them. Next he goes to the residence of Eddie Goo-Goo Gudelauski, the famous poet. A party is in session, celebrating his latest success, Glub, Glub, Glub.

When D. K. gets there, Paul Crocker, the butler, takes his coat. He is served tea by Frances Cordera and Norma Petchulat, those two glamorous maids. (No wonder Eddie has turned into such a homebody 1) In the ensuing conversation, he hears about Norma Baca, Mary Ann Bauer, Phyllis Betts. Ida Bickel, and Norma Jean Bluemner, better known as the Five B's, a successful basketball team. They have already won 3 buttons and 1 safety pin for their outstanding ability. Leaving the the party, D. K. drives over to Belleville. He comes across Maxine Keller and Maureen Bonham who are now co-directors of Scott Field. They tell him about Joan Kneedler, who has just been sent to Alcatraz for attempting to siphon gas from Ruth Lowe's new Tucker 73. Don Launhardt put up a good fight for her defense, but he was no match for the relentless prosecuting attorney, Anne Wall. As he drives through the country, he meets Bert Weber, the accomplished artist, who is busily painting a bam. Bert's assistant, Louis Bickel (the brush cleaner) spots D. K. and invites him over for a chat. Mary Bruns (owner of the bam) comes over to join them. With her is Barbara Cargnino (owner of Potts Potts Inc.) and Paul Ryan, the ultra-rich water-pistol manufacturer. D. K. finally manages to get away. When he arrives at the square in Belleville, he sees a crowd around the fountain. He moves closer, and there finds Delores Harrison washing her dog. Vernon Hallows (Chief of Police) trying to clear away the crowd. D. K. sees Dorothy Goetz and Marie Pei la, who are partners in a booming Tobacco Firm. Next to them is Audrey Whittington (one of the most successful jockeys at Fairmount Park). Gene Swain and Clay Wyatt, the two fastest ditchdiggers from Illinois, are also there. Soon D.

(Roy Hanser and Harry Gerste-necker are their best customers). Lawrence Dickerson has taken over Fred's Bargain Store. It's now known as Dickerson’s Gyp Joint. Catherine Gorwoda owns the Miner's Theatre. It guarantees Class F pictures at all times. (Charles Gerstenecker is the ticket taker. You should see the pocket money he makes!) Finally D. K. returns to dear old C. T. H. S. My—how things have changed! They now have escalators leading up to the third floor; Classes are 20 minutes long with 30 minute passing periods; refreshments are served in every class: U-m-m even the faculty has been changed! Robert Call has taken Mr. Hale's classes. (He never gives demerits either. That is, except to Walter Calvin, who hasn't graduated yet). Calvin gets demerits for making atom-sprayed spit-wads. Gene Dalton has replaced Mr. Barnes in Woodshop. (Now all the class makes are standard size bean-shooters). Bill Evans and Elmer Fedder are the teachers of metal shop. They make the best handcuffs you ever saw. Louis Farenzena replaced Miss Bare and now teaches General Science. Bill Daly has taken over the Bookkeeping Classes while Mr. Lampertz is vacationing. Anna Austin has succeeded Miss Renfro as Dean of Girls. Fred Kaveny is the principal. Joan Jokerst makes a perfectly adorable tiuant officer.

With her is Rosalie Ramatowski, who is still making up gym periods. As he is about to leave Collinsville, he meets Chuck Harris and Clyde Hellmich who have a thriving business in fixing broken milk bottles. They enlighten him to what some more of the kids of the class of '48 are doing. Lois Ulkus is employed in the Cow-Bell factory. Because of her remarkable skill in testing bells, she has acquired the nickname of Tessie the Tuner. Carl Walker, the new Mayor of Maryville, has just finished arresting Clara Vanek and Theresa Vallino for saying a slurry remark about Maryville. Ken Oberkfell is the president of the State Bank Richard Querry is the chief teller, (and he does tell 'em). Bob Scaggs is the safe cracker. Clarence Ovelgoenner, Fire Chief, just returned from dousing Lucille Riley's house, which was on fire. (It's hard to tell whether the house or Lucille was doused the most). Dale Rupprecht, Robert Nichols, Joe Murphy, and Roy Milam, the best fire fighters you ever saw, went to the fire house to receive medals for bravery. Leaving Collinsville, D. K. stops at Dixie Kohler's Service Station. Eugene Keller is the station attendant. Driving, he sights a roadside stand with watermelons for sale. Imagine his surprise when he finds it is owned by Evelyn Landwehrmeier. Eugene Meyer is the clerk. While his car is parked along the roadside, Leo Maack sideswipes him. They are brought to court. Mike Pavlisin hears the story and calls Dick Thompson to lead them both to private cells. Alvin Tiemann hears about their plight and comes to bail them out. After he's released, D. K. decides he's had enough, and departs for home. Without the use of his car, he is forced to take a train.

There is also a write-up about Evelyn Stark and Orville Spelver for inventing non-breakable tooth picks.
