Dupo Community High School - El Tigre Yearbook (Dupo, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 92 of the 1942 volume:

EL TIGRE 1942 Published By The Senior Class of the Dupo Community High School FORWARD Ours was the graduating class which witnessed the entrance of the United States into the second World War. We live in a world at war. The price of this great catastrophe is a destruction of our rnaterial accomplishments and life itself. We hope that our lives and intelligence may be used to create a new system of world progress and to protect civilization from social disturbance and the horrors of war. This year at D C. H. S. has been a pleasant one filled with achievements. The FL TIGRE staff has attempted to select the groups and events which you will wish to remember. We have striven to make our annual a possession dear to our fellow students who face the reminiscent years to come. May they look back with pleasure on this record of their last year at D. C. H. S. DEDICATION This yearbook could not have been achieved without someone to guide our work and inspire our efforts above the ordinary and commonplace. Therefore the FL TIGRE is dedicated to Mr. Faulkner by the staff who wish to show their appreciation. His patience, unselfishness and untiring efforts have helped us not only during the preparation of the annual, but also during his four years as our class advisor.

Twelve OUR NEW BUILDING Dupo Community High School is to have a new gymnasium. The school has grown until the crowded condition required a new building. The district voted favorably on the building and bond issue in the spring of 1941. The Board of Education employed the architects, Kennedy, Spencer and Goedde, to draw the plans and the contract was let to Ganschinietz Construction Company. The school and community celebrated the ground breaking. The ceremony was performed by Mr. William Brubaker, president of the Board of Education, and George Carmack, president of Student Council. The real excavation started. The students and faculty were interested and thrilled as the machinery of our modern building age was put to work. Materials were delivered, and the laborers were always busy. Slowly the building took shape and the vision of the new school started to become a reality. The new building will house the 70’ by 105’ gymnasium. The bleachers will have a permanent seating capacity of 1,100 and space for removable bleachers to care for an additional thousand. A new corridor will enable the students to travel throughout the three buildings without exposing themselves to the weather. The new cafeteria will be in the basement of the west wing; it will accommodate 250 students. The visual education room will house the projection machine and other visual aid equipment. An important innovation is a well equipped first aid room. New class rooms will be provided for Biology, English, Mathematics, Industrial Arts, Vocal Music and Piano. A large central heating plant is included. The new plant will heat the three buildings. An important change in the vocational building will return the modern home to the Home Economics Department. The music room will occupy the space which formerly housed the cafeteria and kitchen. Changes in the main building will replace the rooms now occupied by Miss Smith and Mr. Robinson with corridors which lead past the new class rooms and to the new gym. The old gymnasium will be retained as a gymnasium and will provide space for a recreational program at noon. It will still be used for parties and as the auditorium for the presentation of plays and other programs. Fourteen SHOUT! WHEREVER YOU MAY BE, I AM AN AMERICAN On the street, in the home, in a crowd or alone, Shout! Wherever you may be, I am an American! I am, from the heart of me. Rich or poor, young and old, let this message be told, Shout! Wherever you may be, I am an American. I’m proud of my liberty In the fact’ry, in the mill, thru each valley, from each hill, Raise your voice and give America a thrill!! On the farms, in the schools, let’s have one set of rules, Shout! Wherever you may be, I am an American. I am, every part of me. REMEMBER “Remember the Alamo” “Remember the Maine” These are our battle cries of past conflicts. Now a new remembrance has forced us into a bitter conflict with men whose supreme desire is to knock the word, democracy, out of the dictionary. But before we enter upon the subject of our latest remembrance, let us recall the deed which started our first battle cry. The Mexicans swarmed the Texan Fort Alamo on March 6, 1836. The Texans showed their courage when they fought to the last man. Only two Americans lived through that battle. In the fighting which followed this tragedy “Remember the Alamo” was on the tongue of every man of the victorious Texan army. On February 15, 1898, the United States battleship, Maine, was anchored in the harbor at Havana. Suddenly a terrific explosion was heard and the Maine sank to the bottom of the harbor. An immediate investigation revealed that the Spanish had laid a mine for the American vessel. In the war which followed, it was the phrase “Remember the Maine” which rocketed across the nation. It was continually repeated throughout the war which followed as a victory for America. On December seventh, nineteen hundred and forty-one just after sunrise, a squadron of Japanese airplanes attacked the airfield and the bay at Pearl Harbor. Every American knows the rest of that tragedy in which two thousand nine hundred and eighty-seven Americans lost their lives. Every American will continue to “Remember Pearl Harbor” until death or an allied victory is registered. CHARLES SWOBODA Class of 1944.

We were the largest class to enter D. C. H. S. At our first class meeting we met for the first time our class sponsor, Mr. Faulkner. During this meeting we elected the following as class officers: Clara Bivens, President; Harold Cruse, Vice President; Venita Holley, Secretary, and Richard Vallowe, Treasurer. Since we were rather shy, as Freshmen usually are, we did not take part in many activities. The next year we were better acquainted and so participated in more activities. We looked upon the Freshmen as being green, forgetting that we had perhaps looked the same way only a year before. At last we were upper classmen. This meant that we could participate in more activities, have more parties, and that we could present a class play. After much consideration, we chose the play, The Tin Hero.” Carl Moskop, later replaced by Bill McAndrew, Thelma Sutter, whose place was taken by Nadine Riebeling, Marian Breuer, and Richard Vallowe were chosen as officers. As attendants to the prom queen, we selected Marian Breuer, Venita Holley, Helen Jerome, and Marjorie Sanders. Finally the great day arrived. We were seniors. The honor of the school rested upon our shoulders. This final school year saw the United States’ entrance into the war. The boys in our class who joined the navy immediately were: Lester Iglehart, Robert Wheatley and Norman Parrin. This year we presented the play, “The Youngest.” Ernest Holmes, Robert Schneeberger, Marian Breuer, and Richard Vallowe were designated to guide us through this final year. We thought the name El Tigre was appropriate for this year book because our class rings and invitations exemplified this motif. Row 1. Upchurch. Reeves. Barnhart. A. Hertel, Stemler. M. Smith.

Probably the first major activity was the selection of their class rings. Many minor activities followed such as the selling of candy at the school basketball games. In addition they held a Homecoming Dance which proved to be very successful. Later with the aid of the Freshmen class they sponsored a dance for the Sophomores and Seniors. Without a doubt, their most successful enterprise was the presentation of the play entitled “The Seven Sisters.” The last and most enjoyable event of the year was the Junior Senior affair at which the Juniors entertained the Seniors and Faculty. SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY President—Carl Upchurch Vice President—Charles Swaboda Secretary—Mary Lou Jerome Treasurer—Marie Miskell The Sophomore class has become fully acquainted with high school customs and manners. The members took active parts in several activities. A party was planned in the fall but it was called off due to the tire shortage. The Sophomores and Seniors were hosts to the Freshmen and Juniors at an all-school party in the spring. In our Junior and Senior years we look forward to carrying on the traditions of our school. FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY President—K. McCracken Vice President—Dorothy Schlemmer Secretary—Opal Palmer Treasurer—Gilbert Lee On September 2, 1941. this group of students started their high school life. Throughout the year, they have been making many new friends and participating in the many activities in D. C. H. S. Miss Crain and Mr. Murfin are the sponsors. They held a Halloween Party which was very successful and with the aid of the Junior Class, gave an all-school party for the Sophomore and Senior classes. This year they have laid the foundation for their future high school days and we hope they will be happy, successful ones.

Thirty'nine ANNUAL STAFF I have made for you a song And it may be right or wrong, But only you can tell me if its true, I have tried for to explain Both your pleasure and your pain And here’s my best respects to you! Kipling The annual staff was selected from the seniors who volunteered to produce the book. We offer this publicaticn with the hope that the seniors of 1942 will find pleasure in the years to come by reviewing their high school days. The staff has been assisted by many persons who were not on the staff. We wish to express our thanks to: Mr. Wesley and the Printing Club for printing the book without charge, Miss Anthony who served as literary critic, and the English Department for conducting the patriotic theme contest. STUDENT COUNCIL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Student Council Executive Committee was reorg nized this year and the members were elected by popular vote. The same procedure was used that is carried out in the naticna' election. The student had to have petitions signed by fifty students in order to be a candidate. Because the representatives could not get back a report to their constituents, group meetings of students and representatives were organized the second semester. Now students are able to get their problems to the executive group. The Student Council also installed Coca Cola dispencers upon the popular demand by the students. In November members of the Executive Committee attended a district meeting of student councils at Alton, Illinois. At this meeting Vera Turner was elected secretary of the district. Another meeting which was attended by council members was the state meeting in Chicago. Student Council had charge of general assemblies this year and also sponsored a magazine sale to help pay for the new stage curtain. Coach Keys is sponsor of the council. The officers are: George Carmack, President; Harold Cruse, Vice-President; and Vera Turner, Secretary-Treasurer. HONOR SOCIETIES It is a privilege to be elected to either the National or National Junior Honor Society. Only students who have completed one semester’s work with a “B” average are eligible for nomination. The nominees are voted upon by the faculty who place equal emphasis upon the objectives of this organization: Scholarship, Character, Leadership, and Service. Juniors and Seniors are admitted to the Cahokia Chapter under Mr. Minier’s sponsorship, while Sophomores are eligible for the National Junior F.oncr Society, Prairie Du Pont Chapter sponsored by Mr. Maas. DRAMATICS CLUB The Dramatics Club, numbering 33 members, meets every Friday. The affairs of the club during the first semester were under the leadership of Warren Fischer, President; Margie Latta, Vice President; Ellyn Weinel, Secretary and Treasurer; and Mary Beth Snyder, Program Chairman. During the first semester Goldsmith’s famous Henry Aldrich play “What a Life” was presented. The officers for the second semester are: Lenard Girard, President; Mary Beth Snyder, Vice President; Ellyn Weinel, Secretary and Treasurer; and Mary Ann Hardesty, Program Chairman. This semester the club sponsored the organization of a junior dramatics club and presented a second major production “Button, Button.” SCIENCE CLUBS The Science Clubs meet with Mr. Maas and Mr. Faulkner. Their weekly program consists of reviewing current scientific magazines, performing experiments and observing demonstrations. Members of the Club are encouraged to do individual projects. The Clubs offer the underclassmen an opportunity to handle equipment and to feel more at ease in a science laboratory. THE HOME ECONOMICS CLUB Presidents: Mary Evelyn Allen, Alice Dickey, Betty Rachell. Vice Presidents: Nadine Riebeling, Delores Diehl. Secretaries: Adeline Boyer, Anna Lois Goodwin, Mildred Schack. Treasurers: Jane Badgley, Joy Levin. The Home Economics Club consists of girls interested in Home Economics work. The club is affiliated with the State and National Home Economics Associations. Close contact with the National office offers the club members many educational and social benefits. The objectives of the club are: (1) to provide opportunities and experience for carrying responsibilities; (2) to promote healthy, happy girlhood; (3) to gain a broader conception of the field of home. There are two clubs, one consisting of freshman girls and the other, upper class girls. The two presidents of the upper classes, Mary Evelyn Allen and Alice Dickey, went to the First State Camp Meeting held at East Bay Camp, Bloomington, Illinois, August 28-31, 1941. Drum and Bugle Corps 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 is asked to perform in local and community parades and events. Band Our D. C. H. S. Band, composed of sixty members is active in many school affairs. It has added “pep” and entertainment at all home football and basketball games. Besides playing for each game, the Band has put on many outstanding floor shows between halves. The Band also plays for other school and community affairs during the school year. Second Orchestra The second orchestra has a membership of forty-nine boys and girls with less than a year of playing experience. The students must fulfill a certain playing standard before being admitted. This large 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 the factors necessary for good musicianship. The orchestra plays for one or two assembly programs and probably will perform at our commencement exercises this May. First Orchestra This instrumental organization is composed of forty of the more advanced music students. During the course of the school year, the students, through their playing, become acquainted with much of the standard and light-classical orchestra music. The Orchestra plays for some school and community programs. They also perform ior the Sunday Music Hour, which is presented by the Music Departments of D. C. H. S. F orty-fivr SURVEYING CLUB The Surveying Club consists of those students who have the mathematical training required for the solution of surveying problems. The club offers the students the opportunity to work out surveying problems with the proper instruments. Mr. Willis is the sponsor of this club. DISCUSSION CLUB The Discussion Club, sponsored by Miss Crain, was organized this year. As the name implies, the purpose of the club is to discuss the various problems concerning school life, current events, or any topic of interest to the group. Membership in this club is open to anyone who is interested in this type of activity. The club took charge of the advertising for the Christmas play. STAGE CRAFT The stage craft gang is composed of eight boys and three girls, who under the direction of Miss Smith construct the sets for the stage productions. Their work consists of setting the stage, making of scenery, painting walls, hanging wall paper and the production of lighting effects. This group performs invaluable service behind the scenes. PRINTING CLUB Printing club is composed of several boys who, under the direction of Mr. Wesley, learn the fundamentals of printing. This includes the distinction of type, accuracy of work, composition, beauty, and appearance of the printed page. Their work consists of printing the various types of forms that are used around the school. This year they have performed invaluable service in the printing of the 1942 yearbook and the Senior calling cards. This activity is to be highly commended for the able and willing work it accomplishes. READERS’ CLUB To provide an opportunity for students to enjoy reading and to discuss the books they read, the Readers Club was organized in September. There were almost twenty members who met with Miss Stutzman. Reading books and magazines from the library, reading book reviews in the New York Times well - known weekly book section, and writing book reviews busied the members. They took a trip to the St. Louis public library and were accompanied by Miss Anthony’s student librarians. POLLYANNA CLUB The club membership is selected from those girls in Home Economics classes who make outstanding grades. The club is sponsored by Miss Liebig. The Pollyannas share responsibility, show initiative and are willing to do all types of tasks for t ochers and for the good of the school. Even though this work is not always pleasant, the girls do it willingly asd cheerfully. Some of the tasks which they perform are: making curtains, mending typewriter covers, dusting, and other home-keeping activities. CRYSTAL CLUB The Crystal Club devotes its time to the growing of real crystals. The student’s struggle with the problems of crystallization, solution, evaporation, saturation and dehydration. Prize crystals are displayed locally and exhibited at the various State and Junior Academy of Science meets. MAINTENANCE CLUB The maintenance club is a group of boys under the sponsorship of Mr. Baldwin. They see that the appearance of the school is kept up, whenever and wherever it is needed. During the year they have performed such jobs as keeping the shop in working order, repairing broken instruments and sharpening tools. Forty-«cven THE KNITTING CLUB The Knitting Club is an activity which was organized to assist the Adult Knitting Club in Red Cross and British War Relief work. This club consists of about sixty members, including Miss Richmond, the sponsor. The advanced members of this class are knitting sweaters for themselves and the Red Cross. They are also knitting squares for the British War Relief. VOCAL MUSIC The activities of the vocal department include the Girls’ Chorus, of twenty-seven members; the Boys’ Chorus, of seventeen members; the Mixed Chorus, of twenty-eight members; and the Girls’ Quartette. The choruses meet twice a week for rehearsal. The Girls’ Quartette meets the fourth hour on Friday only. Each of these groups have taken part in programs at the local churches and entertained for assembly programs at our own and neighboring schools. Members of these organizations are looking forward to participating in Music Festival, which was held at Collinsville on April 9, The Festival was conducted by Olaf Christiansen. Miss Virginia Linn conducts all the vocal music. G. A. A. The Girls’ Athletic Association stimulates interest and participation in girls’ athletics. It standardizes and promotes ideals of health and sportsmanship. The Dupo G. A. A. is an active member of the Illinois League of High School Girls Athletic Associations. Our association selected Bernice Holland, President; Carlene Portell, Vice President; and Venita Holley, Treasurer. As a member we enjoy the privilege of attending Play Days at different schools through this district, where hundreds of girls enter into active games and sports. This spring the Dupo G. A. A. sponsored a Play Day for this district. The theme of this Play Day was a National Music Camp with Guy Lombardo and other visiting band leaders. The high schools attending the Play Day were East St. Louis, Belleville, O’Fallon, Trenton, Lebanon, New Athens and New Baden. The competitive events of the Play Day were soft ball, volley ball, deck tennis, and table tennis. Each year approximately 60 of the 100 girls in G. A. A. earn awards. The first two awards are local awards with “D” for Dupo. The second two awards are state awards, one being the “I” for Illinois, the other, the state map. The Leaders’ Club, a vital part of the Girls’ Athletic Association, has helped much in promoting spirit, interest, and enthusiasm. SPEECH CLUB The Speech Club has attended district and state meets in the past. This year, due to the tire rationing program, the club decided to discontinue any form of program which would entail the use of the buses. During the fourth and fifth hours, when the club meets, this group has sponsored inner-school programs for the entertainment of students. Miss Smith is the sponsor of this club. THE HIGH SCHOOL ECHO In a democratic country, freedom of the press is a great responsibility. The power to report and to interpret the news is a power that must not be abused. High school jounalists must realize the importance of protecting and of deserving “freedom of the press.” The High School Echo enjoys this freedom. Responsibility and good judgment are developed by the ten members of the staff, headed by Editor, Carl Moskop. All the work of assigning stories, gathering the news, and making up the paper is done by the students, under the supervision of Miss Stutzman, the sponsor. Fifty-one PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB The photography club meets with Mr. Lovell. The school has an excellently equipped dark room and teaches the proper techniques of developing and printing. The school owns enlarging equipment, a moving picture camera, a telescopic lens, an exposure meter and proper lighting equipment. Members study current photography magazines. The club discusses the problems of composition, contrast and emphasis. Many enthusiastic members produced good work and exhibited it in the trophy case this year. JUNIOR PLAY •‘Seven Sisters” by Edith Ellis was presented by the Junior Class. The play was a comedy of an ambitious mother who faced the problem of disposing of her seven daughters. The cast included Mary Snyder, Margie Latta. Betty Boules, Arleen Densmore. Flh n Weinel, Harry Phelps, Betty Jones, Lenard Girard, Douglas Greer, Benny Dixon, Bill Reynolds, Vernell La Rose, Garda Jean Bride and Evelyn Baldwin. SENIOR PLAY The Senior Class presented ‘‘The Youngest,” a three—act comedy, by Philip Barry which concluded the Seniors’ high school dramatical career. The cast included Colleen Hayes, John Barnett, Carl Moskop, Edith Osborne, Bobby Phelps, Venita Holley, Lenard Girard, Bernice Holland, and Alice Dickey. DRAMATICS •‘V'hat a Life” by Clifford Goldsmith was presented by the Dramatics Club. The play was adapted for the radio show and the movie antics of Henry Aldrich. The story revolved around the happenings in a high school office. The cast included Harry Phelps, Frances Kannady, Ellyn Weinel, Warren Fischer, Carl Upchurch, Jo Ann Hill, Howard Grider, Jimmy Crosser, Edith Osborne. Margie Latta, Rosemary Krack, Donald Osborne, Betty Jones, Bobby Phelps, Mary Ann Hardesty, Lenard Girard, Mary Snyder, Jack Riddle, Mary Lou Jerome, Dorothy Edwards, Paul Renick, Marcella Phelps and Bette Woods. VAR'ETY BAND This small group is made up of guitar, accordian and French harp players who meet once a week for the enjoyment of playing together. They play occasional special numbers for school and community affairs. BASEBALL Baseball replaced basketball as the major sport when spring rolled around. A1 Johnston, a senior, was elected captain of a squad of 24 players. Rain and cold weather hampered the first few games that were to be played but later in the spring our team played Valmeyer, Columbia and Waterloo. TRACK In the spring a young man’s fancy turns to the sports of the great outdoors. Track and field is probably one of the best loved of these sports. Coach Keys’ squad for this season appears to have the ability to win many meets. After the first meet with Belleville the boys realized the importance of training rules and have buckled down to hard work. Farrol McPheeters and Richard Vallowe were elected co-captains of the tracksters and have led their team very effectively. Both men are lettermen from last year’s squad. FOOTBALL In everyone is born a feeling of physical competition, and football is a sport which best promotes this feeling. This year’s team, coached by Mr. Willis, and captained by Carroll Johnson had some very outstanding stars, but if we were to single out any one individual for praise we would do an injustice to all those who contributed to the game. Without the complete cooperation and workmanship of the entire group, no one individual would stand forth. Many fine performances as a team and as individuals were responsible for a record of 4 games won and 4 games lost. Keith Goacher and Woodrow Berry are the co-captains for next year’s squad. BASKETBALL Riley Dean Aud and Babe Cunningham were elected co-captains to lead this year’s most popular sport, Basketball. The absence of Farrol McPheeters at the beginning of this year as a result of a leg injury led the team off to a bad start. However, they wound up the season by winning 16 games and losing 15. Although the graduating class of 1942 will badly cripple Coach Keys’ team for 1943, he is expected to bring in some new blood from the Freshman and Sophomore classes. The lettermen graduating this year are Albert Diehl, Harold Diehl, Carroll Johnson, Billy Gregory, Billy MacAndrews, and Riley Dean Aud. We sincerely hope that the newcomers will continue to make Basketball a fine, clean sport. Fifty-four WHAT OUR FLAG MEANS TO ME “Resolved, that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the Union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field representing a new constellation.” Thus the flag of the United States was established. I doubt that few people even dreamed what that flag was later going to represent. From this moment on the “Flag of the United States” was destined to be what it is today; an emblem of freedom and justice for all. When I think of the history and background of this nation I see something which is entirely too big to imagine or describe. I feel a spirit which will go down in the annals of the world. As I stand watching a flag in a parade I see more than just the actual outline and features of the Stars and Stripes; I see the United States for what it is. I see people living freely and happily in cities and in the country; I see the faces of men fighting and dying at Saratoga and Yorktown, during the Revolutionary War fighting for our Independence. I see men fighting in the Argonne, St. Mihiel, Chateau Thierry and the Marne. These faces are the mirrors of Democracy and the principles for which it stands. In these mirrors you can see this immortal spirit which will never die. As I face the Stars and Stripes and see rows and rows of crosses in Flander’s fields, over men who gave their lives, I am awed by the strange powers it holds for every true American. —WILLIAM McANDREW Class of 1942.
