Page 3 El Tigre — I9U3 DEDICATION On Friday evening, November 13, 1943, the new addition to the Dupo Community High School was formally opened. The dedication committee composed of members of the High School Faculty arranged an interesting and entertaining program for the occasion. After appropriate remarks by the architect, the President of the Board of Education and our principal, all visitors and students were taken on a tour of inspection throughout the whole new system. We of this year's Senior Class who are the first to be graduated from our school with this fine new addition, wish to express our sincere hope that it may always stand as a symbol wherein the principles of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of press and freedom of free enterprise may be taught and nurtured for future generations. El Tigre — ?43 Page U FOREWORD As we, who are about to depart from the Dupo Community High School, pause in retrospection, we realize that we have received much for which we can be grateful and appreciative. This, our yearbook, is our last effort and contribution towards leaving something here to be remembered and for those who follow, to emulate. We hope that in a small way we have herein recorded the major happenings of this year. May these pages help to kaep alive, always, the spirit and tradition of our school. May our having been here, been of help in perpetuating all that our school stands for, and for which we the students, are supposed to represent. With best wishes to all who follow us and with an expression of gratitude to those who have gone before, we hereby leave this, our volume of El Tigre.

We extend to him our best regards, our best wishes for successful future years and our most sincere thanks forever. Ji ' I i Page 7 — El Tigre — ?43 — (ADMINISTRATION) Charles M.

S. the class of '43 will soon be on its way in a bigger world. In the near future, all the fun, good times, and work they had in the Dupo Community High School will be pleasant memories. In the fall of 1939, a group of green and shy Freshmen entered into a life leading to the next rung on the ladder of success. At our first class meeting we met our sponsor, Mr. Baldwin, and elected Woodrow Berry, President: Edgar Sauls, Vice-President, and Mary Katherine Growe, Secretary-Treasurer. Two class parties culminated our social activities for that year. The next year a lot of our shyness had worn off and we participated in more school activities. We elected Edgar Sauls, President, La Verne Schlemmer, Vice-President: and Alice Otten, Secretary-Treasurer. The next year as Juniors, almost as important as the Seniors, we sold candy and soda at basketball games and prior to the holiday season we sold Christmas cards. That year we elected Vernel La Rose to guide us as President: Benny Dixon as Vice-President: and Alice Otten was again elected as Secretary-Treasurer. We presented the play Seven Sisters which was acclaimed as a great success. Lois Lawson, Mary Jane Gardyne, Alice Otten, Faye Sams, Betty Lou Boules, and Bette Woods were chosen as attendants to the Prom Queen. Beautiful and original decorations made all who attended agree that our prom was one of the most outstanding in the history of D. C. H. S. At last we became Seniors, the sweetest memory of all! For our senior officers we elected Woodrow Berry, President; Betty Jones, Vice-President: and Alice Otten, Secretary-Treasurer. Everything was set for a year full of the usual Senior activities, but the rationing program curtailed and limited definitely all of the usual functions. All limitations and restrictions were accepted by everyone without complaint. During the year, Mr. Baldwin, our advisor, left our high school to assume like duties at the Jol:et High School. Our Fourth year in school! Before long all will be over and we will have graduated to take our place in society. Though our high school years will only be memories—they will be pleasant ones and will never be taken from us. ARMED SERVICE We of the Class of 1943, want to devote this space to those of our classmates who were unable to fulfill their four years with us. We realize in part, what the boys in the armed services are doing for us, and we thank them for it in as full a measure as possible; we are appreciative, also of the other causes—accidents, illness, etc. —which prevented former classmates from graduating with this class of June, 1943, and we here express our sincere regret that they have had to be absent on the o ccasion of our graduation and from our group. Page 20 ---- El Tig re — IQU3 Senior Social Events The Social Calendar of Senior events was much restricted this year due to gasoline restrictions. Even though this be true, a great number of pleasant hours of happy associations together was enjoyed by the entire group. The major social event of the year as far as parties go, occurred in the all school party. All Seniors entered this with enthusiastic good will, helping to make it one of the best ever to be given. The planned Junior-Senior Prom, yet to be given, promises to be the high light of the years social events. viT JUNIORS . Top row: Dormer, Edwards, Holmes, Dickey, Adele Brauc'i.

During our Freshman year, we like most classes were new and unsettled. In our Sophomore year, we spent our time getting acquainted with school customs and manners, took part in several activities and gave two school parties. In our Junior year we accomplished a great deal selling candy at basketball and football games, also giving an outstanding play called Happy-Go-Lucky. There also was formed an executive committee consisting of 15 members, under the direction of Mr. Wesley. This committee has charge of the selection of class rings to be voted on by the Juniors. Last, but not least they also have the tremendous job of planning the Junior-Senior Prom given each year in honor of the Seniors. Our officers this year are: President—Charles Swoboda, Vice-President—Alvin Holmes, Secretary—Vrene Behen, Treasurer—Buren Price.

S. this year in accordance with a Nation wide high school program. It is a Pre-flight Aeronautics course, and offers good preliminary training for any one who plans to enter the aviation branch of our armed forces or do any work in aviation. Mr. Alaas was chosen to teach the class, and the course was found to be most interesting. The material covers all phases of aeronautics, from commercial flying to war flying, and includes navigation, meteorology, communication, and air mechanics, allot which are excellent preliminaries for a military course in aeronautics. El Tigre — IQU3 ACTIVITIES Activities play an important part in D. C. H. S. school life. There are 29 organizations of various sorts and more than eighty per cent of the students are enrolled in one or more of them. The clubs to which one may belong range from the Printing Club, which does printing for the school, to the Pollyanna Club, which works quietly and almost unknown in preparing costumes, etc., for plays, operettas, etc. On the following pages are pictures most of the activities, at work or at play. The mere fact that the paragraph under the picture is long or short is no particular indication of the importance of the activity. It can honestly be said that all are equally important, for every organization has a particular meaning to each person in it which perhaps cannot be adequately expressed in the rigid amount of space allotted each photograph; and the benefit the individual derives from participation in any of our organizations cannot be crowded into any set space either. JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM The major social event of the year—one looked forward to by every Junior and Senior, as well as all others who go as guests, is the annual Junior-Senior Prom. This event, given on May 15th of this year was enjoyed by everyone. For queen, the Senior class elected Betty Lou Boules. Her attendants from the Junior class were Vrene Behen, Vera Turner, Blue-belle Brauch, Wanda Damman, Geraldine Dickey and Virginia Cash. The crown bearer, Doris June Dixon and the flower girl, Phyllis Ann Swartz. The music was provided for by George Carr and his seven piece orchestra and singer.

Directed by Mr Murfin. the ensemble played popular songs during the lunch hours in the cafctcr.a. In this way, this group gained recognition and acclaim. Pauline Brauch Mr. Murfin Bluebelle Brauch BAND The band plays at all the home football and basketball games. There are approximately 60 persons in the entire band personnel. They are ably and colorfully lead by our two drum majorettes, Pauline and Bluebelle Brauch. FIRST ORCHESTRA First Orchestra under the direction of Mr. Murfin is composed mostly of upper class men who have had a year of outside training in some field of music. This orchestra plays at different school functions such as, assemblies, plays, and graduations. Their uniform corresponds to our school colors. SECOND ORCHESTRA Second Orchestra also under the direction of Mr. Murfin, is composed of people who have participated in a half year of musical training under him. They also play at school functions together with the first orchestra. Page 41 ■-—— ■■ ■ El Tlgre — IQU3 SPEECH CLUB The Speech group. as well as the Dramatics Club, were delighted with th-: increared facilit'es furnished bv the new speech room. In the absence of contest work, two different phases of speech work were carried out. The group gave several successful public performances of Stephen V.ncent Be net's poem. LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE Later, panel discussions on Youth's attitudes towjrd current problems were, literally, given an airing. over tation WTMV under the title. Youth Speaks. STAGE CREW The Stage Crew is another orpanirat n which work almost imperceptibly—to the students—but it doe. a great deal. All the sets for our plays are crcateJ by Mi«s Smith and the stage crew, ; nd the m-ch. .ncs of the final production a'e engineered by members of this group. DRAMATICS CLUB The Dramatics Club officers this year were Marce'la Phelps. President; John Allen and Carl Upchurch. Vice-Pre idcnt; Ell n Wcinel. Secretary; and Mary Snyder. Betty Jones. Margie Latta. and Jo Ann Markcc. Program Chairmen in pa� rs. Two plays were produced this year EVER SINCE EVE AND MRS. MINIVER - 5 Tigre - 1943 Page 42 ECHO STAFF Our weekly paper— our own ECHO- i; a rasjlt of the combined efforts of this group. As the waek approaches the Deadline for the paper, the groans — and other words - which emanate fro n this room, echo— (must be where the name came from—) all over the building. ANNUAL STAFF The annual staff of 1943 gave their 4th hours on Tuasdi s aid Thursdays for the development of this annual. The staff had no outside help besides the sponser on the financing, publication, and author-ship of our bdok.

Final score Belleville B 7, Dupo O. Dupo 14 Cathedral 12 The Dupo Tigers gained their first victory of the 1942 season when they came from behind to beat Cathedal of Belleville in a tough, hard-fought game which wasn't decided until the final whistle was blown. The opening kick-off by Reed was brought back to the Tigers' 45 yard line. Cathedral began with a drive which finally resulted in a touchdown for them and so went the first quarter.

St. Genevieve 20 Dupo 6 On October 16 the Dupo Tigers suffered their second defeat when they played St. Genavieve in a night game at St Genevieve. The defeat came as a surprise to the players and the spectators following the victory over a stronger Marquette team the preceding week. Passes demoralized Dupo, allowing St. Genevieve to win. Dupo's season was cut short, with the the schedule as seen here. This was due to gas and tire restrictions eliminating the chances for practice and to go to away from home games. The squad dwindled to less than a team and was dismissed, causing the cancellation of the Wellston and Roxana games Pane 53 El Tiare — IQU3 BASKETBALL SQUAD Coach Keys and the Basketball Squad of - IQ43 Action Shot Our boys in our new gym.

Entering the tournament, decidedly the underdog, Dupo got off to a good start by trouncing Central Catholic UO to 28, while Livingston, the team picked by experts to win, was taking the measure of Madison, the host school. In their next game the Dupo team gained the right to enter in the finals by defeating Venice 32 to 29.

The unexpected, dope upsetting event had occured, Dupo returning home the champion.
