EL TIGRE 1937 Published by the Senior Class of Dupo Community High School Editor.............................Peggy Arnold Business Manager...................Jack Fogarty Faculty Advisor...................Lottie E. Gascho Engraving..................Indianapolis Engraving Co. Printing........Williamson Printing and Publishing Co. Photography....................................Van Miller VOCATIONAL BUILDING DEDICATION The Senior Class of 1937 believes that this page should be reserved for one whose contribution to the Class has been of outstanding merit. The Class has had no difficulty in making the choice os to who should have this distinct honor. Miss Lottie Gascho has proved by her unselfish devotion, her untiring efforts, and her congeniality that to her belongs this rare privilege. Whatever success we attain in reaching our goal for a meaningful, worthwhile yearbook will be a direct result of the helpful, solicitous guidance of Miss Gascho, who has been our councellor throughout our four years in high school. It is to her, with genuine gratitude, that we, the Senior Class of 1937, dedicate this yearbook, the 1937 El Tigre. E L T I G R E 19 3 7 FAC PRINCIPAL MR. ALLEN U L T Y We feel, by this time that our principal, Mr. Charles Allen, needs no introduction, either to the student body, or to the community. Since his arrival in July, he has proved, by his affability and good sportsmanship, to be a sincere friend and advisor to all who come to him for advice. The Senior Class of 1937 is happy that their year book is the first to be issued with Mr. Allen as principal, and the first year book to carry his picture as principal.

Our hopes, we believe, are somewhat the brighter, because, in the world into which we have come, every advantage must be seized and made the best of, and we like to think that we are, to put it succinctly, one up on some of our fellow students, for we shall have had several months of being out of high school to our credit before the May class has graduated. Nevertheless, even with our high hopes and plans, we have our moments of regret at leaving school, because we realize that we are leaving an old friend, one whom we can always trust, and one on whom we can always rely. MAY 1937 To the Class of May, 1937, the heading of this article would be more appropriately titled, AFTER FOUR SHORT VEARS, because, even though some of us would not admit it to anyone except ourselves, there is a certain regret as the time comes for us to leave D.C.H.S. We have begun to realize that, even with all our upsets and a certain amount of hardship, these four short years in high school will, in after years, be looked upon as among the happiest years of our life. And so it is, with a tinge of reluctance that we say adieu to our teachers, our friends and our high school career, to begin the business of life in earnest. JANUARY 1938 Throughout our four years in school, we have always looked with longing anticipation to the time when we too should be graduated. At first, when we were freshmen, that time seemed far away, and four years did seem such an age, but as we progressed, that time became remarkably shorter and shorter, and now we come to the full realization that within less than a year we too shall be receiving our eagerly awaited diplomas. We have made the most of our high school career, and we have no regrets, nor shall we have any, only pleasant and happy memories. We regretfully take leave of our classmates each year as they go away from us, but nevertheless we still have that eager look when we think that in just one more semester we shall be the graduating class of January, 1938.

UNDERCLASSES We shall miss the members of the class of 1937 in all the branches of our school activity and yet we should not feel too down hearted for there are always underclassmen to step in and take their places. Perhaps some will not approach the performances and achievements of these our graduates and then again perhaps (and while there is life there is hope) these same underclassmen may surpass these performances and achievements. As we prognosticate in the paragraphs to follow, we may have overlooked many individuals who as yet have hidden their lights under a bushel. If such be the case, we humbly apologize. Of course, we must find replacements for the three great campus loves: to-wit and namely—J. V. Loless vs. Anna Marie Sweany, Clinton Schmidt vs. Frances Cunningham, Jack Gilbert vs. Emma Wagner. To this we nominate Thomas O Donnell vs. Elsie Walbert, Clinton Beadle vs. Anna Jackson (until Clyde Sinclair cuts him out) and Mink Griffith vs. Ardana McCorkle. In o more serious vein, we may expect stellar performances from Fletcher Sauls in debate and from Hazel Zweig, Evelyn Shedenhelm, and Marilyn Cunningham. In the vocal music department we seem to be well blessed with oromising material in Tom O'Donnell and Louis McClenahan among the boys and Elsie Walbert, Rita Lepere, Betty Jo Reed, and Laura Belle Sielert in the girls. Staying with music for the moment, we have some five performers among the instrumentalists in Francis Greer on Oompah (sousaphone to you, Bobby Hulsey) Clifford Latta, trumpeter, and Althea Arvin. who plays a smooth French horn. In the speech group, we have some promising elocutionists in Jacqueline Stanhope. Marguerite Rose, Laura Belle Sielert, Doris Schmidt, Wanda Downing, and Jack Arnold. There are quite a number of boys who bid fair to spread the name of our beloved institution over the annals of sports in this section of the state. Football will have Tom O’Donnell, Leroy La Rose, Arnold Sauget, Clinton Beadle and Walter Crowder. Of course there are others who should develop into fine players. In basketball we apparently have more prospective talent among George Kimbrell, G. C. Riddle, Albert Zebos, Donald Womack, Herbert Schwartz, Clifford Latta, Walter Krack and Leroy La Rose. Baseball has the least number of aspirants among the underclassmen. We have cudgeled our brain and can think of but three, namely—Albert Zebos. G. C. Riddle, and George Kimbrell. Prospects for the future track and field teams are a little rosier. Leroy La Rose. Lawrence Girard, Charles White, Eugene Pierce, George Lane, G. C. Riddle ore outstanding at this writing. Well, underclassmen, are you prepared to carry on the D.C.H.S. tradition, or will you be content to sit back and glory in the reflected light of your predecessors' glamour? May I answer this question for you? I may? hanks. No! A thousand times No!! We shall carry on where the class of 1937 left off, and with perseverance, cooperation ond loyalty shall strive with all our might to uphold, maintain, and if possible, surpass the standards set for us by our gracious classmates of 1937. E L T I G R E 19 3 7 GROWING PAINS JUNIOR CLASS In the fall of 1934 a group of pupils entered the portals of D.C.H.S. The class was divided into three sections, the different groups having as their advisors, Mr. Smoot, Miss Jones, and Miss Picken. We had home room officers elected in each group. In January, 1935, several more students were added to our group, with Mr. Barker at the helm. As Freshmen, we enjoyed several parties. At the end of the first year we found that a few had fallen by the wayside, leaving the remaining group more determined to carry on. Our second year was entered with a new determination, greater than any experienced before. Our advisors were the same as we had when we were Freshmen with the exception of the substitution of Mr. Faulkner for Miss Picken. The members of the incoming class of September 1932 represented, we believe, a particularly promising group as is shown by the fact that a large number had won honors and made interesting records in their student careers. The following were elected to the Junior Honor Society in October, 1935: Marilyn Cunningham, Marie Kottkamp, Mary Leverich, Hazel Thomason, and Hazel Zweig. In February, 1936, Gwendolyn Fredrick was elected to the Society. We believe we are safe in asserting that all of the rest of this class would be worthy of special mention of some kind, if time permitted us to make a note of their special qualities of sturdy character, genius and personality. In October, following a custom of long standing, we selected our class ring. Now that we are Juniors we have a prominent position among our fellow students. Even the Seniors, as the time is growing near for the Junior-Senior Banquet, look up to us. During the period this class history covers, Catherine Dashney of our group chose to wed. On December 15, 1936, our first public presentation was given, the proceeds of which go toward our spring entertainment. The cast, a splendid one, was comprised of Jack Arnold, Virginia Hawkins, George Lane, Wando Downing, James Lynch, Eugene Pierce and Marilyn Cunningham. In order to help further toward the success of our banquet, we sold popcorn and ice cream at the basketball games. On March 2, 1937, we elected as our closs officers for the second semester, James Lynch, president; Tom Fogarty, vice president; Hazel Zweig, secretary; and Geraldine Kempf, treasurer. There has been only one thing to hinder our happiness, and that was the loss of Mr. Smoot, one of our advisors, who accepted a position in Joliet Township High School. Our gain for this loss was Mr. Baldwin, a well-liked faculty member. During our first year we were considered insignificant, but since then have gained a recognized place in our school, which we hope to hold throughout the remainder of our school career.

Page 21 SOPHOMORE CLASS It was the fall of 1935. A timid and shy group of knowledge-hungry Freshmen knocked for admittance at old D.C.H.S. The hue surrounding us rivaled that of the Emerald Isle and our conduct and achievements for that year were as could be expected from such a rare accumulation. We were ninety-eight strong. We did show up well, though, (after some of our rough edges disappeared) in intra-mural sports. We won the baseball championship, even if two teams did forfeit. A few of us took courage enough, after sufficient persuasion, to enter speech, dramatics, debate, music, and yes, even athletics. This year, as Sophomores, we grew stronger in body and ambition as well as in number. We are now 106 of the 365! We have a good representation in all fields of activity. Some of us helped our basketball team go as far as the sectional semi-finals. These boys were aided by our Sophomore cheer leader. Others of us are on the varsity debate and speech teams. We make up a great portion of our fine band and orchestra too. Of course, folks, we are only Sophomores, but we are learning fast. We'll be Juniors next year—that is, most of us will, (we hope) so watch for us in the headlines—Old D.C.H.S. will never regret the day she opened her doors to that rugged group that knocked and knocked.

We were immediately divided into three groups with Miss Richmond, Miss Helm, and Mr. Minier as our advisors. At an early class meeting we elected our officers as follows: president, Roy Koch; vice president, Anna Jackson; secretary, Eunice Le Pere; and treasurer, Edward Kempf. Student Council representatives were Rosemary Mayer and Robert May. Our first party on November tenth was a great social success. On April third, we invited the first semester freshmen to join us in another gala occasion. The second semester roll was increased by fourteen—four girls and ten boys. At an early class meeting we elected Rosemary Mayer, president, Eunice Le Pere, vice president, Ruth Tilton, secretary, and Roy Koch, treasurer. Anna Jackson and Robert May were our Student Council representatives. The first semester freshmen elected Fred Bostian as their president, William Jacobi, vice president and Geneva Bone, secretary-treasurer. They are now planning a hay ride in the late spring. In spite of the fact that we were so new and green , we all took part in activities and have made quite a creditable showing in speech, music and athletics. The boys have taken particular interest in football and basketball so next year we look forward to having some of them on every team in athletic competition. Next year, when we have someone to look down on, we won't be green at all and will feel well able to dish out advice as it was dished out to us.

ACTIVITIES It is not necessary to state that academic subjects play the most important part in the curriculum of a high school, but quite apart from, and serving a highly useful function, are the various extra-curricular activities in which a student may grow, both intellectually and emotionally. The activity program at Dupo Community High School is one of the most varied that is possible for a school with the present enrollment. Altogether, there are twenty-four activities for the student to choose from. A student may of course, participate in more than one, and, in fact, is urged to do so. One can readily see that if this is done a broader viewpoint and a more rounded personality will result. There is no more certain method of developing qualities of good character than to engage in competition with students of other high schools. Each year contests are held in the various activity fields, in which students who have shown themselves capable are permitted to compete. DRUM AND BUGLE One of the first signs of spring is our Drum and Bugle Corps out in full regalia. The winter months are not conducive to outdoor practice so inside drilling prevails. In the fall and spring our corps performs in various community events, and is asked to represent our school and city in parades, homecomings, and other events at neighboring towns. FIRST GIRLS' CHORUS About fifty girls appeared for try-outs for girls' chorus at the beginning of the year. Twenty-three from this number were admitted to the first girls' chorus. This group has done consistently fine work throughout the year. They have been especially popular at assembly programs. During the first semester they met once a week, and during the last semester, have met twice weekly. Many songs have been worked on during the year. Their contest selections were A Violin Singing in the Street , and The Snow. BACK ROW: Reed. Hawkins. Winterhotf. Lepere, Cunningham, Buschmann, Geppert, Shedenhelm, Arvin, Kent. Warbritton.

SECOND GIRLS' CHORUS The second girls' chorus was organized for the first time this year for girls who are anxious to sing together but need extra training before joining the first chorus. We have worked most of the year on principles of sight-singing and on the blending of parts. We feel we have had a successful year and hope next year to accomplish even more in the way of successful group singing. BOYS’ CHORUS The Boys Chorus is composed of twenty members. During the first semester they met twice weekly, and during the last semester, hove met once o week. The chorus participated in the Music Festival held on Wednesday, December 9th. Under the direction of Donald Stott, the chorus entertained the assembly, singing Stout Hearted Men . Their contest selections, used for both the Washington University Contest and the County Contest at Lebanon were: The Drum and Where My Caravan Has Rested . BACK ROW: Shipp Fogorty. Goley, OH«f.

MIXED CHORUS The Mixed Chorus has thirty-six members who meet for rehearsal every Monday. Accompanied by the high school band they sang The Bells of St. Mary's as the final number at the Music Festival on December 9th. Selections used for both the Washington University Contest and the county contest ot Lebanon were Listen to the Lambs , and Echo Song . A picked group of sixteen represented our chorus in the All-County Chorus which sang at the County Contest. This group song Send Out Thy Light , and Dear Land of Home . Page 29 GIRLS' QUARTETTE The Girls' Quartette has furnished entertainment at many occasions, including several church services, the Music Festival, between acts for plays, assembly programs, the annual Easter Sunrise Service, and the Preliminary Contest. Their contest selections were My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice and God's Treasures . The members of the quartette feel they have experienced an enjoyable and profitable year. Sutter, Tipton, Melton, Walbert. Cunningham, McClanahon, Smothers, O'Donnell. BOYS' QUARTETTE The Boys' Quartette was selected from a double quartette which practiced for the first semester. The quartette chosen to represent the school has sung for assembly programs, at the Music Festival, at Dad's Day dinner, and at the Preliminary Contest. Their contest selections were Forgotten and The Changing of the Guard . DRAMATICS This year has marked the birth of a very active speech organization, the Dramatics Club. Two major enterprises successfully undertaken by the Club, have been a one-act Drama Festival and a major play production. Five organizations entered the festival and presented an evening's program of unusual value. The major play production, Big Hearted Herbert , was acclaimed one of the finest dramas to have been presented in Dupo. Dorothy Dashner and Margaret Francis have served as presidents of the club. The activities of the club have been directed by Miss Smith. BACK ROW: Kunmaul, I. Jo«hu, Dashner, M. Francis, Adkins, Smothers, Lotto. FRONT ROW: Shipp, Worbritton, Firestone, Sims. F.

HY-SCHOOL ECHO The Hy-School Echo has entered its third year of existence as a part of the Herald Tribune. Pupils who have at least a C average in English and who are interested in journalism are allowed to become members of the staff. The news which is published, is of such a nature that it will interest not only D.C.H.S. pupils, but also the patrons of the school who subscribe for the Herald Tribune. Dorothy Dashner acted as editor during the first semester, while Emily Lepere took over the editorship at the beginning of the second semester. Miss Smith sponsors the activities of the staff.

The Notional Forensic League is a national honorary organization for those who win distinction for themselves and their school in speech activities. A contestant receives one point for each contestant of another school he surpasses, and fifteen such points are required for membership. A degree of distinction is awarded to those who acquire 100 N.F.L. points. The five persons in our school who have attained this distinction are: June Adkins, Dorothy Dashner, Ruth Sielert, Frances Cunningham, and Henrietta Smith. Pago 32 FIRST ORCHESTRA This instrumental organization is composed of thirty-five of the more advanced music students and it is this organization that represents our school in the county contest. During the course of the school year, the students, through their playing, become acquainted with much of the standard and classical orchestra music. The orchestra furnishes some assembly programs as well as short concerts at our dramatic plays. FUST ROW—Seated: Girard, Sauget, Upchurch. Rose, Adkins. Sielcrt.

The students must fulfill a certain playing standard before being admitted. This large interested organization furnishes the foundation for our future orchestra members. This orchestra, as does the first orchestra, covers standard materials and aims always toward improvement of musicianship. The orchestra plays for assembly and furnishes entertainment for dramatic productions. Pogc 33 BAND Our D.C.H.S. Band, composed of forty members, has been active in many school affairs. It has added pep to all home basketball games, has played for many school and community entertainments, has given its annual fall concert and has rendered its services at the gala Music Festival. The band is a member of the Illinois State Band Association, and is entering the State District Band contest at Alton, Illinois. May first and second. The band makes its final appearance of the school year at Commencement. BACK ROW: Hoffman. Walbert, Upchurch. Sussman, Griffith, Hummel. Mr. Murfin, Greer. Crouch, Schmeder.

It is affiliated with the State and National organizations and carries out the work outlined by these organizations. In order to become a member, the girls must have had two years of work in the Home Economics Department. Their major project is selling candy during noon hour. The proceeds of this sale are spent to send delegates to the state meetings and to buy equipment for the Home Economics Department. Annually the club sponsors a Mother and Daughter Banquet and an outdoor luncheon with an invited speaker. Page 34 SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club meets once a week and includes a group of students who grow chemical crystals. These students must attend to their solutions and crystals two and three times per week. The easiest crystals to grow are copper sulphate, the alums, potassium dichromate and citric acid. About half of the club members read science magazines and report upon articles to make interesting current science programs. Both rooms, numbers 18 and I I, ore used by the members. BACK ROW: Arvin.

RADIO CLUB The rapidly growing Radio Club has about thirty radio enthusiasts. The only requirement for admission is to be interested in radio. Mr. Laurent, the capable director, is acquainted with the electric circuit, and, for a broader knowledge of the radio theory, he constantly reads radio books and magazines. Most of the club members' time has been spent in learning the theory of radio and practicing the radio code. The students with the highest average in the tests given on the work were given a chance to make a simple radio circuit. Some of the students have advanced enough to apply for amateur radio.licenses. Page 35 NATIONAL JUNIOR AND SENIOR HONOR SOCIETIES The Senior Honor Society, under the direction of Mr. Minier, and the Notional Junior Honor Society, supervised by Mr. Maas, hold meetings twice every si weeks. The purposes of these organizations are to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in pupils of the Dupo Community High School. During the first semester they held a joint initiation in January. In this ceremony, Cordene Meyer, Irene Nagel, and Richard Sauget were made members of the National Junior Honor Society, and Dorothy Dashner, Violet White, Margaret Wells, June Adkins, Ruth Sielert and June Onstott were made members of the National Senior Honor Society. On March 13, they sponsored a fruit sale, which proved a huge success. They also held a candy sole during the first semester which proved quite profitable. At this time, initiation is being delayed because of a change that is to be made in the constitution of the Honor Society. BACK ROW: Onstott, Lcperr Doshner. Well . Loless, Schlichter.

SPEECH Interest in speech activities reached a high peak this year and made it necessary to organize two groups, each meeting once a week. In adaition to preparing members for contest work, programs were planned and executed by members of the club. Early in the spring, a contest was held in which 250 contestants, representing thirteen schools, were entered. The contest was acclaimed a success in spite of the snow . G. A. A. The G.A.A. of D.C.H.S. was organized in 1933 and became a member of the Illinois League of Girls' Athletic Associations. The aims of the Girls’ Athletic Association are to promote interest in athletics, in the out-of-doors, in health, and in good sportsmanship. Letters ore earned by participating in activities, which are grouped into organized activities and unorganized activities. A certain number of points must be earned in the Hygiene group before a letter can be awarded. This year the members of G.A.A. have earned letters by playing soccer, basketball. volley boll, soft ball, doing stunts, riding bicycles, wearing hygienic shoes, and keeping health rules.

Miss Helm was a member of the W.A.A. at Southern Illinois Teachers' College thus making her a very able director for G.A.A. STUDENT COUNCIL It has been our goal this year to carry on to even greater heights the splendid work accomplished by the Student Councils of previous years. In regard to our various accomplishments during trie year, we have established free dances after the basketball games, assisted the selection of cheer leaders, and appointed a committee to arrange the materials for the bulletin boards. Six of our members attended the District Meeting at Collinsville, where we met other student council representatives, with whom we exchanged ideas, which proved very helpful. We are strongly convinced, basing our opinion on past experience, that student government is a thing which Dupo High School can not do without. BACK ROW: Mr. Allen, O'Donnell, Lynch. Fogarty, May.

POLLYANNA CLUB The Pollyanna Club is composed of girls Who are truly Pollyannos. Perhaps you have sometimes wondered who kept the rest rooms in order, who mended the stage curtains, made slip covers for the stage furniture, and did many other things, too numerous to mention, but just as worth while. Membership is limited to those girls who show spirit in their work. Miss Richmond is director of the activities of this club. Page 38 E L T I G R E 19 3 7 ART CLUB Leother tooling seems to be the specialty in the Art Club, although much interest is shown in Christmas cards, re-decoration of main corridor, froming pictures, wall hongings from linoleum blockings, and other numerous projects of worthy value.

PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB The Photography Club, which is something new in the line of activities, was originated in September, 1936 under the supervision of Mr. Faulkner. Membership has been rather limited owing to the length of time requisite for carrying out work. No officers were elected since there is very little business to be transacted and meetings are made by arrangement. The program consists of studying technique of picture taking, developing, and making prints. Actual work is the only requirement with pupils paying for their own equipment. Page 39 DEBATE There are five members of the club who actually took part in the debates, namely Dorothy Dashner, June Adkins, Naomi Schlichter, Fletcher Sauls, and Margaret Francis. All of these, with the exception of Dorothy Dashner, participated in debating this year for the first time. Each year a topic of notional interest is selected as a debatable subject by the National Forensic League for high schools all over the United States. The current year's topic is Resolved: That all electric utilities should be governmentolly owned and operated. During the seoson, the team entered tournaments at Webster Groves. Eldorado, Waverly, Dupo and the N.F.L. meet at Lincoln, Illinois. BACK ROW: Glotfelty, Hopewell, Lone. Lone. Hallock, McAuliff, Waterson, Maurer. Hoock. FRONT ROW: Souls, South. Hellwig, Francis.

The members of this club select a project that they carry out during the semester and every Tuesday they have forty-five minutes in which to work. Some of the projects that they work on are the study of birds and animals, collections of leaves and insects, insect mounting, study of microscopic animals, study of mosses and fungus, making of aquaria and terraria and feeding and caring for aquarium animals. This activity has been very popular with most of the students and is very interesting to all who have participated. Pag« 40 CRAFTSMEN’S CLUB The Craftmen's Club is a newly formed organization under the direction of Mr. Loudon. The hour once a week is spent in drafting mechanical drawings in wood turning and in reproducing sailing vessels in miniature. The ship models used are American Clipper and Sovereign of the Sea . This organization affords an acquaintance with various parts and methods of movement of sailing ships. SECOND ROW: Kronlt, Girard, LoRose, Mercer. Schmidt. Mr. Louden.

PRINTING Printing, one of the few chartered activities of the school, has done a great deal in correlating the academic subjects with the Industrial Arts field. Tardy permits and office cards, are port of the duties of this worthy group. Printing could be used as a money saving activity but the educational aims are far more important. Printing will soon become a regular subject in the secondary schools of the state, os it has grown so rapidly in the last five years. Page 41 ATHLETICS Coach Keys needs no introduction to this community. He has gained the respect of both players and followers. To him we owe the fact that our basketball team reached the semi-finals in the Sectional Tournament the past season. The versatility of Mr. Keys is a well recognized fact. He has excelled as an athletic director, he has stolen the show in a number of faculty plays, he has made an admirable master of ceremonies on several occasions and is recognized as an expert poster maker.

Page 44 BASKETBALL The basketball season of 1937 was opened at Highland with a thrilling twoovertime-period game. Dupo emerged victorious and it looked as if we were again to regain our hold on the Cahokia Conference title. We followed Highland with conference victories over New Athens and Lebanon. New Baden, however, took the wind out of our sails in a roughly played game at New Baden. Nevertheless our boys came back with an eight game winning streak that took us well into the second semester. Then in another rough game at Lebanon we lost a tough ball game by two points. This seemed to set us off in the opposite direction for we lost four games in a row, New Baden, Hurst-Busch, and O'Fallon contributing to our downfall. These losses were offset somewhat by three victories by high scores and it looked as if we had again hit our stride and would end the season well prepared for tournament play. But alas and alack! Hurst-Busch came to Dupo and again showed us how the game of basketball should and could be played. We then journeyed to Mascoutah for a real lesson in fast break basketball. Although we had defeated this same team earlier in the season to the tune of 28-17, Mascoutah reversed the song and handed us the short end of a 34-17 score. Still undaunted. Coach Keys arranged for two practices on large basketball courts to prepare us for tournament play. We practiced on tho immense court of Belleville Township High School and on the court of Lansdowne Jr. High School of East St. Louis. Being rated one of the stronger teams in this region, we drew a bye in the district tournament and played Belleville our first game in the regional tourney. Ploying an improved game of ball we defeated Belleville handily and earned the right to meet Granite City in the semi-finals. Granite City appeared to be the strongest team in the tourney and were doped to advance to the sectional tourney with flying colors. They disregarded, however, the stubborn opposition of Loless and Company. Dupo took an early lead and although they were tied three times in the course of the game were never out scored. Scoring the biggest upset in this sectiQn of the State by virtue of this victory over Granite City apparently was too much for us. for we were unable to cope with the fast and aggressive East St. Louis offensive and their tenacious man-to-man defense. In this game we indeed looked tired and lacked endurance. However, on to the sectional which was again played in the beautiful new Belleville gymnasium. Another burst of brilliant and spectacular possing and shooting attack that nearly equalled our efforts in the Granite City game so dazzled the team from Virden that we again emerged victorious and had again equalled our work of 1932 when we advanced to the sectional semi-finols at Johnston City. Our opponent in the semi-finals turned out to be Wood River, runner up to Collinsville in the Southwestern Conference. And a worthy opponent they turned out to be, for they uncorked an air-tight defense that kept us away from short shots, at the same time began to hit from all over and at all angles completely out-classing us from the field. In this game as in others, with the exception of the Granite City game, when pressure was applied we appeared to lack that fine peak of physical stamina that is so necessary in cruciol contests. Consequently, we were defeoted. All Conference selections sow J. V. Loless chosen as first team center and Elmer Berghoefer os first team forward. Harlan Ferry was given a forward berth on the second team and George Kimbrell was given honorable mention. Pago 45 E L T I G R E 19 3 7 TOP ROW: W. Crowder, C. Lotto, W. Krock. E. Horvey, A.

Our season opened at Carlyle, and we surprised the Indians by holding them to a lone touchdown and threatening their goal line on several occasions. However since we are a comparatively small school in football, our schedule must of a necessity be heavy. Ritenour defeated us 32-0 and St. Charles, a strong Missouri team, won 19-0. In this game our players showed what fight can do in football. Chester followed with a 20-0 setback in a game that presented very poor football by both teams. Our only night game this year was played at Venice, and after a game in which many penalties cost us hard earned territory, we lost 14-12. In a return game played at Dupo, we turned the tables with a 14-0 victory. The quality of football being played by our boys is steadily improving. We seem, at last, to be grasping the fundamentals of this exciting fall past time, and should be showing more victories as the football tradition is engendered into the history of our school. Poge 47 TRACK Prospects for o successful seoson in frock seems the brightest since the spring of 1934.

BASEBALL Probably the poorest seoson that Dupo High School has ever had. was our lot this fall. As yet. our school does not have the man-power to foster both baseball and football in the fall. It is too much to expect of high school students to participate in both sports in the same season. Another bug-bear that certainly affected football and baseball alike was the ineligibility of three promising athletes—Elmer Berghoefer. Captain of Baseball for 1936. G. C. Riddle, and Virgil Ballard. Our new baseball outfits were christened at New Baden under a shower of eight runs while we were garnering o big goose-egg. Then in a comedy of errors we handed New Athens a 11-10 trimming and in a well ployed boll game, defeated Freebura 3-1. This ended our wins for the season, as O Fallon come to town and went to town to the tune of 14-0. We closed our season at Mascoutoh by losing 5-4. In this game we went into the last inning with a 4-2 lead with two outs and then came the balloon ascension and we hit a new high for that season. The Lebanon game was cancelled as the standing of both teams would hove been unchanged either by a win or a loss. Page 48 JANUARY CLASS OF '38 On January 19, 1934, twenty-two students began their freshman year in Dupo Community High School. We had looked forward to this time for the past year or two. Twenty-two students do not make up a very large class, but under the splendid supervision of the home room advisor, Mr. Maos, it progressed quite rapidly. This group has proved quite outstanding in various activities, particularly speech and music, and on the whole, quite a help to the school. Eight of the group are in orchestra, six in band, and five have parficipated at one time or another in speech work. An outstanding percentage of the class, four of twenty-two, are active members of the National Honor Societies. During our four years of happiness of this high school, we have had several very interesting parties. The outstanding one was a kid party, given by both Sophomore classes. All those attending were asked to come dressed as juveniles or pay a fine of 25c. Everyone enjoyed an evening of fun and entertainment os if we were indeed kids once more. The majority of the students in this class have enjoyed their brief stay in the Dupo Community High School very much and do not like to look forward to the time of leaving. Page 9 JANARY 1937 CLASS WILL We, the senior class of January 1937, of the Dupo Community High School, of the village of Dupo, County of Saint Cloir, State of Illinois, being of sound mind and memory, knowing the uncertainty of life, hereby declare this to be our LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, in manner following, viz: In order to cut down our funeral expenses, we request that our bodies be cremated and our ashes thrown to the four winds. If the wind is only blowing in one direction, don't bother to wait. To the Freshmen who still look green, we bequeath our good looks and hope they will partake lavishly. I, Buddy Abel, will and bequeath my peg leg and false teeth to none other than Arnold Sauget. I, Charles Crouch, will my position as band manager to John Mifflin. I, Dottie Dashner, will my oration, What Price War? to some peaceful soul. I, Catherine Devers, will my everyday attendance to Martha Jane Doolin. We, Billy Adkins and George Hulbert, will our instruments plus the discords to Evelyn Shedenhelm and Wanda Downing. I, Maxine Elliott, will my beautiful technique of making love to handsome Park’s boys to Alice Viner. I, Trevor Kirksey, will my good looks and my Ford, Nina , to George Kimbrell so he can rate with a certain girl. I, Tom Gavin, will and bequeath my liking for peanuts and brunettes who croon, to Tommy O'Donnell. I, Doris Muelhauser, will all my letters from a certain boy in St. Louis, to Frankie Lane so she might catch on to the technique. I, Ralph Kimbrell, will my blankety-blank typewriter and wavy hair to Tom Fogarty. I, Charles Lee Brewster, will my love for English to G. C. Riddle. I, Marie Schmidt, will and bequeath my motto, Never argue with a man, especially a crooner to Elsie Watbert. I, Thelma Robinson, will my reputation as a movie star to Lorine Foster. I, Violet White, will my ability to dance to Laura Belle Sielert. I, Willie Joe Wecker, will my ability to keep quiet in study hall and to keep the teachers in hot water to Harry Francis. I, Martha Jean Wheelis, will my ability to blush and my old furless fur coot to Mary Warbritton. I, Dorothy Welch, will my dimples to Margaret Francis. We hereby appoint Miss Irene Liebig of Dupo, Illinois, Executrix of this our LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have hereunto set our hand and seal this twenty-seventh day of January in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-seven. On this twenty-seventh day of January, A. D. 1937, the Senior Class of the Dupo Community High School in the county of Saint Cloir. and State of Illinois, signed the foregoing statements in our presence, and declare it to be its LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, and as WITNESSES THEREOF, we do now, as its request, in its presence, and in the presence of each other, hereunto subscribe our names. Louis Riechert (SIGNED) William Nolte Jonathan Ackerman Pag 50 JOKES Armieda Sutter had just finished singing and was talking to a girl friend. Armieda Sutter: Did you notice how my voice filled the Gym? Marjorie Baum: Yes, and I saw several people walking out to give it room. Mr. Allen: Here, you mustn't smoke in the class room. Merle Reed: I'm not smoking.” Mr. Allen: Well, you have your pipe in your mouth. Merle Reed: Yes, and I've got my feet in my shoes, but I'm not walking. Mr. Maas: Clarke, what's a worm? Clarke Cunningham: A caterpillar coming home from a strip poker game. Clinton Schmidt: Where'd you come from? Richard Bernard Hoock: Why, the stork brought me. Clinton: O, yes, I remember, that's the time he got arrested for smuggling dope. A visitor was being shown around the osylum. A large room with twenty beds was reached, but the place was empty. This is where the patients who were once chauffeurs are kept, said the attendant. But where are the patients? asked the visitor. They're all under the beds examining the springs. Mr. Barton: There's no difficulty in the world that cannot be overcome, if you try hard enough. Virginia Peters: Did you ever try squeezing toothpaste back into the tube? Barber: Mr. Minier, you are just about bald-headed. Do you know what is causing it? Mr. Minier: I suspect my hair falling out had something to do with it. Miss Helm: Did you drink that glass of hot water one hour before breakfast, as I told you? Carol Arnold: Well, Miss Helm, I tried to, but I couldn't hold out any longer than the first ten minutes. Miss Smith: You can’t go on after that monkey act. Dot Dashner: Why not? Miss Smith: Because they might think it was an encore. Juanita Sims: I think Alice Levin is the meanest creature I ever met. I showed her my engagement ring and she said it was always too tight for her. Dorothy Steppig: Yes, she soid exactly the same to me last year when I had it. Harry Francis: I have never seen such dreamy eyes. Mary Jane Swaboda: You've never stayed so late before. Miss Liebig: If I give you a piece of pie, you won't come around here bothering me again, will you? Lloyd Stott: You know your pies better than I do, Miss Liebig. The Biology teacher has just finished talking about animals in general and finishes with the following conclusion: Miss Picken: Three thousand four hundred and twenty-six elephants were needed last year, to make billiard balls. Now are there any questions? Ed Boker: How did they train the beasts to do such delicate work? Miss Gascho: What's a bookkeeper? Jack Gilbert: A person who borrows books and forgets to return them. The Foods class was studying new dishes, one of which was Welch rabbit. Marjorie Baum: How can you have Welch rabbit when rabbits aren't in season? Page 51 PROPHECY OF CLASS OF JANUARY 1938 Last night as I sat alone in my study enjoying the twilight and my own most wonderful thoughts, I heard a soft rustling behind me and turning I saw near my chair a queer little creature which I could not classify. It wasn't strictly human and yet I had never before in all my study of natural history seen any creature, even distantly, resembling it. Before I had time to ask questions, the strange visitor asked in a mighty voice, the first notes of which made me leap out of my chair, Are you the student who has been selected as the prophet of the class of Dupo High? If you are, the creature went on quickly, before I had time to utter a word, I see by your looks that it is indeed necessary that I help you. It was a wise act when I was sent to you. Sent to me?” I ejaculated, my curiosity overcoming my fear. By whom? Ah, said the shape, I perceive that you have not heard of the new movement among the curricula. The curricula? I repeated stupidly. Yes, was the quick reply, the curricula of all the schools in the United States. Then, I exclaimed, I suppose you are a curriculum? Of course. I see you know a little Latin, was the angry reply, and the creature continued: We have united together to help the poor overworked teachers and superintendents at commencement time. So I was detailed to assist you in a prophecy for the Dupo High's graduating class of Jonuary, 1938. So here goes. First and foremost, Louise Shannon is to be the President of the United States. Hold on, I exclaimed, don’t you know that is a girl’s name? What of it? was the retort, now that women have the ballot, they’ll soon relieve the men of the few duties which have been left them, and women presidents will be as common as queens. But I have no time to argue about this now. I'm due at another school in a few minutes, so here goes. There is Luella Bushmann who will be the most famous typist in the world. He continued quickly, And as for Don Stott, he will be a cook. O, hold on, I exclaimed, you don't seem to have any idea of the significance of names. Where have you lived all your life not to know that Don Stott is a boy's name? Of course, but if the girls are oil presidents and other officials, the men will have to do the cooking, I reckon, unless you think we ll live without eating in those wonderful days. And now please don't interrupt me again. Elvin Harvey is to become a famous biologist and will discover some of Nature's deepest secrets—for example, why on oyster isn't a tadpole, and similar never-before solved problems. Harold Connely is to be an artistic milliner. Now don't tell me there are no man milliners. Perhaps there are none at present, but since the cubists and their ink, realists and impressionists will have destroyed art, the only outlet for a man's artistic Page 52 nature must be in bonnets at one hundred dollars per, and there will be money in it at that, for the smaller the bonnet and the bigger the price the more crazy women there will be to buy them. Lucille Melton will become an architect, and will design a tabernacle for Aimee McPherson that will be the eighth wonder of the modern world. O, come now. I said, all out of patience, you are getting crazy again—a woman architect? Certainly, the creature answered sharply, no man could do it. Men's visions are too narrow. It will need a woman’s breadth of thought, her airy visions, etc. I will concede the point, I answered gruffly. Go on: who next? Enid Kurtz will run a large steam laundry in Chicago. A washerwoman with all of her talents. I groaned. This is too much. It needs talents to run a laundry, and this will be a model one, nothing will ever be lost there, not even the string to a night-cap, and nothing will ever be torn, not even the finest lace lingerie, and nothing will ever be starched that shouldn't be starched, and everything will be starched that ought to be. Leona Koch will run a large soap factory in Philadelphia. Why Philadelphia? I asked gruffly. Because, was the quick reply, it is said to be the cleonest city in the world and they must need a lot of soap. I looked at him a moment as I said, It used to be so considered, but I think you have not been there lately. He did not stop to argue the question with me, but, doubtless, thinking of that other engagement, he went on rapidly. Necia Bowers will be a railroad president. She will hunt up a truly domestic mon for her mate and they will live in everlasting bliss. Ruth Sielert will be a math teacher in the State College of Nevada, and, as he continued on rapidly, Oh, yes, Harry Francis will die before he gets through college although he does go until he is about sixty-five years old. He paused for o breath and then said, Well, I must hurry. Now about Dorothy Harper—she will marry a missionary and live in South Africa. Margaret Francis will be a trombone player in Ina Mae Hutton's grand-daughter's famous swing band. June Adkins will be a Latin teacher in that dear old Dupo High of yours. Leroy May will be a man of adventure. He will bejvery famous for his exploration of wild lands. Oh, you mix me up so dreadfully: I think I could have done better myself. But, now how about my good fortune? Alas, that is too sad to relate, the creature said with a wink and a grimace, and in another moment I was alone in the twilight. Page S3 —Virginia Lee Bowers.

Loless, discus thrower, brought home a strange story. In his own words he said: “Well, I TWO MODEST MAIDENS FRIGHTENED Two prominent members of the Senior (Mass of ’37 were frightened by an April Fool’s joke played on them after an evening of hard work. It seems the girls were getting pretty tired of working so they decided to take a few moments relaxation and enjoy a smoke before continuing. After ambling down the steps rather inconspicuously, they lit up a cigarette out near the old car tracks. They were carrying on a very intelligent (?) conversation when suddenly two girls stepped up from behind and said, the teachers said if you have to smoke please wait until after the staff meeting is over. Both girls started trembling in their shoes and tried to think up excuses for indulging in such an unwomanly practice and not working upstairs, when much to their relief the two words April Fool were shouted in their ears. SCIENCE TEACHER’S PAST UNCOVERED One of our ace reporters uncovered the greatest scandal of all years, namely, Mr. Charles D. Faulkner, member of the D.C.H.S., was charged several years ago with bigamy. No, we couldn’t believe it either but after reading the charge in an old issue of the Tiger Tales and after inquiring around we found it to be true. Faulkner, apparently, had been leading a quiet life here in Dupo with the well known banker's daughter, Esther (Dyroff) Barrett, as his wife. It had been noticed that weekends were spent outside of Dupo. but little had been thought of it. It is definitely known now that they were spent with Mrs. Charles D. Faulkner (Miss Delancey) of Eldorado. guess the team was a little outclassed. At least one of the fellows from Lebanon threw the javelin farther than I threw the discus. Harold Klotz is slated to run the 220 at the Olympic games this year. Klotz is the man for this position. He is in fine condition, and when interviewed yesterday sat in an easy chair and said he would walk off with all the honors. Klotz has had much experience in Mr. Key’s gym class. — Any excess of El Tigre money over and above all expenses will be used to build a stadium for our dear old football team of D.C.H.S. By way of the high seas we learn that there is a football team in England that hasn’t won a game in fifteen years. How about Dupo taking them on just to break our jinx? DIVORCE PLEA SHOCKS DUPO SOCIETY A case which has attracted much public attention was brought before the court this morning. Mrs. Erwin Dyroff is suing her husband for divorce on the grounds of mental cruelty. The first witness was Miss Irene Lie- big. who heard Mr. Dyroff threaten to ; throw out the garbage if Mrs. Dyroff did not quit laughing at his efforts to eat tough steak and retain his false teeth. Miss Liebig said the situation must have been most embarrassing to j Mrs. Dyroff. as her husband made the j statement at the Junior-Senior Banquet. and did not subdue his voice thus causing Mrs. Dyroff to upset her coffee on a new gown and to blush furiously. “GAMBLER SHIPP WINS AGAIN Cadmus Shipp, the gambler, lived up to his reputation one fine day in 37 when he wagered with Francis Lane a candy bar against a kiss that he would excel her numerical grade in economics. (Incidentally he won.) No doubt Cad found out the fact that his grades exceeded Frankie's by 10% before making this bet. Again proving his gambling ability. The terrible crime was uncovered when Miss Delancey came to Dupo on a surprise visit, and found her husband in the act of embracing Miss Dyroff. The report is, however, that Miss Esther suffered most—she became flat-footed because of the severe hit on the head given her by her jealous visitor. The students were just as shocked when this was uncovered as we know you will be when you learn the truth to the statement that wolves hide in sheep’s clothing. Think of Mr. Faulkner’s outside character; gentle, kind, and peaceful, while underneath is a despicable, inhuman fiend. The trial has been set at an early date. In the meantime Mr. Faulkner will be kept behind bars so that he will not add another woman to his list of conquests. NOTICE TO ALL JUNIORS Unless you learn to sit with your spinal columns in a perfect line, yawn with your mouth shut, and sleep with your eyes open, you have not a chance in a thousand to exist in American Literature class. Page S8 THE TERRIBLE TIMES out 8 LOG AN: The Faculty Gets the Breaks but Heaven Help the Poor Students. ATTENTION, TEACHERS! If your name does not appear on this pane It is because: 1. You say your prayers. 2. We have nothing on you. 3. You are lucky. 4. We did not have time. Whatever the reason, thank your lucky stars. MR. BARKER We do not know how tall Mr. Barker is; but we have an idea he is about that tall, nothing definite, of course. He is so young that he has to be fed his milk on a three hour schedule daily. He is known to be pleasant and jolly, and always has the students’ interest at heart. Aided by the rest of the faculty Mr. Barker has established a hush money fund, which is really a scholarship offered to anyone who has never said anything against the faculty. No person has received this honor yet. Mr. Barker has brown eyes, black hair, (after debate season we are afraid it will be gray) and five fingers and five toes on each hand and foot. MISS LIEBIG When you wish something done quickly, efficiently, and neatly then the person to see is Miss Liebig. She is about five feet tall and has a slight (?) German accent. One day she was giving a recipe to her seventh hour foods class and said, add two egs’ and then put it in a ‘yelley yar’ to set until tomorrow.” After much hesitation Virginia Hawkins finally started her work. Near the end of the hour Miss Liebig came around to see how Virginia was getting along and found her painting a jar yellow. When asked what she was doing Virginia replied. Well after hunting through two boxes of alphabet soup I finally found the ‘x’s’ and now I’m painting the jar yellow for them to set in overnight. MR. BALDWIN Mr. Baldwin can teach manual training and can talk with his eyes closed. He Is somewhere between 20 and 34 years of age. He is an American and in spite of this is in good health. Mr. Baldwin has not grown any in height in the last four years, although he has expanded in breadth. He plays volley ball on a volley ball court with a ball if it is handy. He has never been known to walk to school on a pair of roller skates or to carry a cane. MR. ALLEN Mr. Allen attended college at the University of Illinois. He is married. Before he got married he asked Mrs. Allen. Before that he met Mrs. Allen. That is the idea in a chicken’s tooth. He is six feet tall (he has only two feet of actual feet) and weighed 145 pounds before coming to I)upo. He is knowm for his ability to talk and we warn you do not try to argue with him on the subject: How to eat taffy without due embarrassment when you have false teeth. Tis a matter of sticking to the PRINCIPAL. WILLIAMS AND HELM Although Misses Williams and Helm have only been here for a year they are well known and liked by all. When- SPEECH COACH SHOCKS STUDENTS AT BANQUET Several members of the D.C.H.S. Speech Squad have been ruined socially due to the unmannerly conduct of their Coach, Miss Henrietta Smith. The story goes thusly: It was at the banquet of the state National Forensic league tournament held annually at Lincoln, Illinois, when suddenly a great splash was heard by all in the hall. The speaker stopped and looked around, the waitresses stared, and much to the surprise of every one, they saw Miss Smith fishing for her false teeth which had fallen out wfhile she was zupping her zoup. Although this was not made public at the time and was quite embarrassing to Miss Smith we feel it our duty to warn you: Never set across the table from her because there is always a second time for everything. MR. BARTON ever you see one you’re bound to see the other. Miss Helm hails from down in southern Illinois and is about five feet two inches tall. She teaches French and does a very nice job of it. but her main interest is physical education. After spending an entire period telling her students what they should do if the building caught on fire she turned to Mary Warbritton and asked the simple question. ,rNow Mary, just what would you do if this happened this very minute. Mary turned and replied. Well. Miss Helm. I’d stick my head out the window and watch the fire escape. Mr. Barton was born in Murphys-boro. Illinois, at quite an early age. He is about five feet 10 inches tall and weighs himself on a scale with no springs that tells your fortune. Mr. Barton is not married YET, and he does not chew gum in the class rooms. His personality is like the chin you love to touch. (It just can’t be beat.) He has never been known to fall downstairs on his honor, so he says. The editor has never fallen downstairs on her honor either, but she w'as hit on the head at three different times and places. 'Tis said he had high grades in school. That ain’t nuthen’. sez I, fer he gits high grades when he plays golf, too?????” Yes! Yes! Indeed! It seems Miss Williams has a terrible time trying to get her vocal music pupils all in the same key. As they sang the last note of a beautiful song one day she heard an awful discord; turning to Armieda Sutter she inquired. What is the matter with your singing; you are simply screeching.” Armieda explained, I’m only hittin’ on one tonsil. Like Miss Helm in more ways than one. Miss Williams is about five feet two inches tall and is also interested in Physical Education. Most of her time, however, is spent in training students for vocal contests. MISS HARTMAN Miss Mary Sue Hartman is more than 10 years old and less than 100. and weighs just about what she should. We have just received a bulletin from the Associated Press, which hints in a round-about wfay that Miss Hartman wfent in for aesthetic dancing when she was in college. We have never heard her even so much as mention this, so to avoid any embarrassed or ashamed feeling, please do not mention this article within 100 paces of ter. She teaches Latin, but she truthfully admits that she never says her prayers in Latin, because she is afraid she i might not be understood.

You see there are a great many girls from every section of town, and from every class in school, who are crazy about me. The Sophomore and Junior girls are my greatest worries. Every time I go to see one of them the rest get angry. My father thinks that my studies are poor enough without paying attention to the girls. I have an inkling that one of my Junior gals is two-timing me. Please advise. ‘Minneyville’ Jack. out of Mr. Laurents' Algebra class and dropped a paper.

Then, too. you might take your father’s advice and drop your studies altogether. The two won’t mix very well. Yours, Nellie. Dear Nellie: Please tell me how I can win Dorothy’s heart. She seems to be interested in me at times, but when we go on band contests she always has other interests. I have tried every method 1 know but they all have failed. Little R. B. Dear R. B.: Why not try the recent method of winning a girl's heart as suggested by George Kimbrell. He says the only sure way is to purchase the book, “The Art of Crooning.” by Gong Brosby and after ten days you will be a master of the art. Here’s wishing you luck. Nellie. Dear Nellie: I am greatly in love with Beulah, a speech coach from another city, and we would like to get married in the near future, but there is one point on which we disagree. She argues that two can live as cheaply as one, and as I am only a debate coach I can’t convince her that she is wrong. Would you please give me a logical way to present this situation to her and make her understand that 1 can’t afford to get married at the present time. Perplexed L. Edw'ard B. Dear Edward: Why not propose that question for the National debate question next season. I’m sure you would get several ideas. Perhaps Beulah's team and your team could w’ork out a practical solution for you to follow. Nellie. ters. Butter—A billy goat. SOME RULES TO BE OBSERVED Make it a point to hang around the lower halls, while waiting for classes. It helps in jamming traffic and shortens recitations. Also, it is a date-making center. Be sure to break your beads or drop your compact occasionally in class as it wakes up your fellow classmates. Never sharpen your pencil before you go to class. Always bring chewing gum to typing, it aids the rhythm. If you drop paper on the floor never pick it up. it breaks the monotony of the uncarpeted floors.

Perhaps you already have a fairly good education. That's fine! Our relations with the public schools are most cordial, and we ore STRONG FOR GENERAL EDUCATION—the more you can get the better. But why attend a business college when you can get commercial training at high school without charge? Well, let's see. There must be some very good reasons, because the BUSINESS COLLEGE is entirely self-supporting, and to succeed in competition it must offer advantages that are fully worth the tuition charged. Here are some of the reasons for its phenomenal success: FIRST: It is the outgrowth of actual business experience. Its managers are business men who know exactly what young people need. They keep in close touch with the business world. Employers call us when in need of office help, knowing that they will secure efficient help. Our employment service is free to our students. SECOND: Students attend business colleges because they WANT to. not because they are compelled to. or are attracted by athletics or social diversions. All have the same serious purpose of preparing for business, and they work under actual business conditions. THIRD: The business college is a SPECIALIZED INSTITUTION. It devotes all of its efforts to one thing—giving students the best possible training for business life. In high school, commercial work is only one of many subjects; in a business college it is everything. FOURTH: A high school teacher has large classes and students get little personal attention; a business college teacher either gives individual instruction or drills students in very small groups, and each receives constant personal attention. FIFTH: The instruction is intensive. A student is either engaged in recitation or studying under the personal guidance of an expert teacher every moment. There is no waste motion or lost time. Everything is planned to save time and still develop the highest efficiency. SIXTH: The civil service examinations in this district for the State of Illinois are held in cur school and have been for about the last ten years. We must be well equipped or they would hold their examinations elsewhere. BROWN'S BUSINESS COLLEGE OF EAST ST.
