Text from Pages 1 - 100 of the 1944 volume:

3L (Senior Class of fPresen ts SI cJicjre — '9-4-4 Page Three ... C7oreword ... The public school has been called the school for all the children of all the people. As such, it is a great leveling agent and one of the chief instruments for the fostering and developing of Democratic ideals. Built upon the firm foundation of the Elementary School is the Senior High School. The growth of this institution has been nothing short of phenomenal, with the enrollment doubling with each decade since 1880. The present enrollment in the high schools of the United States is over six million. We, the seniors of 1944, feel we have been fortunate in being able to attend the Community High School. We have had splendid equipment, a fine building, and excellent teachers. Above all we have lived in an environment of friendliness and co-operation. Our sincere hope is that we have contributed in some small way to the betterment of the school. In sponsoring this annual it is our wish that it will help all who have it to remember and to keep alive the ideals of the school. IJage Four GALE WESLEY (Dedication To Gale Wesley, our sponsor, friend, and advisor, the Senior Class sincerely dedicates this 1944 edition of El Tigre.

His cheerful friendliness will be among our memories of our Freshman year in Dupo Community High School. I age Sixteen (Senior (3 lass CTlistory We the Senior Class of 1944 entered D. C. H. S. September, 1940, with an enrollment of one hundred twenty-eight. At that time we were the largest class to enter this high school. After initiations of various forms we settled down to learn the routine of high school and the subjects we had selected. The first and only social event of the year was a class party that was well attended and enjoyed. In 1941 as Sophomores of D. C. H. S. we made an attempt to have a class party but was called off because of tire and gas rationing. Later in the second semester the Sophomores and Seniors combined to give an all-school party that was successful in spite of rationing. We realize that our social activities here have been cut short, but we accept this as only necessary for the saving of material to carry on the war, and we are only too glad to help do this. Our Junior year, as upper classmen, was a very important one to us. Again our activities were few. Our goal was the annual Junior-Senior Prom. To help do this we presented Happy-Go-Lucky. Our Junior-Senior Prom was the last big event of the year. The Seniors selected Betty Lou Boules as Queen and the Juniors selected the following attendants: Vrene Behen, Blue-belle Brauch, Geraldine Dickey, Virginia Cash, Wanda Damman, and Vera Turner. September, 1943, we enrolled in cur last year — a year that will be outstanding in our thoughts and memories. Carl Upchurch was elected president; Ruth Dodson, vice-president; Vrene Behen, secretary; and Robert Carter, treasurer. Our goal this year was the annual. The annual staff was selected and work began. For circumstances beyond our control our yearbook was not published on time and we are indeed sorry. Our Class Play, Brother Goose, was presented in May of 1944 and was a successful production. The most outstanding social event of the year was probably the Junior-Senior Prom. The Seniors elected Eva Price to be Queen, and her attendants from the Junior Class were: Jo Ann Markee, Joy Levin, Betty Donner, Betty Rachel, Dolores Holmes, and Betty Bums. We have filtered into every phase of school life and now are ready to take our place in the years to come. May cur memories live and burn.

Page Eighteen (jan tor Gla ss 3 listortj The Class of 1945, co-sponsored by Miss Crain and Mr. Murfin, now has approximately ninety members. Their first yeai was spent in getting orientated to school life and activities. Their class officers were: president, Kenneth McCracken; vice-president, Dorothy Schlemmer; secretary, Opal Palmer; and treasurer, Gilbert Lee. That year they had a class party. . Their second year they started off by electing new class officers. Those elected were: president, John O'Donnell; vice-president, Gilbert Lee; secretary-treasurer, Betty Burns. The impact of the war restricted their social activities this year. At the beginning of the Junior year, Mr. Murfin's other activities forced him to resign as co-sponsor. This year has been a very busy year. The Juniors have had charge of all candy sales at the basketball and football games. They also sold Christmas cards during the months of October and November. A very important point taken up during the course of the year was the selection and ordering of class rings. Instead of the customary class play given each year by the Juniors and Seniors, the Juniors decided to give a Minstrel. Out of that idea developed the MO-PAC MINSTREL which was a huge success. The Junior Class won the War Bond Pledge drive and was presented with a prize of an $18.75 war bond by the faculty. The present class officers are: president, Joe Frey; vice-president, JoAnn Markee; secretary-treasurer, Rebecca Williams. The highlight for the Juniors in this year was the Junior-Senior Prom which was held on May 19 with Tommie Harrison's orchestra supplying the music. The Prom was held for the first time in the new gym which was colorfully decorated. I’aye Xinctea SOPHOMORE CLASS First Row—Bruno, Edwards. Biedcrman, Devers, Hoffstetter, Boyer, Baneter, Hellwig.

During their Freshman year not much was done by the Class of 1946. In the past year the Sophomores had a party on Friday, April 21. The activities of the class were somewhat hindered the past two years because of the war but they hope to accomplish more in the two years to come.

JrcJ, man Clast On September 7, 1943, this group of students started high school life. Robert Joshu was elected class president, Jeanette Jerome, vice-president; Arleen Hofstetter, girls' Student Council Representative; and Ronald Eugene Sheets, boys' Student Council Representative. The allotted time elapsed before the office of secretary-treasurer was filled. They have made many new friends and participated in many activities in D. C. H. S. Their sponsor is Mr. Smotherman. This year they have laid the foundation for their future high school days and we all hope they will be happy, successful ones. This is a very promising class and we expect great things from them. I'age Twenty-three Sf ie (i ork Experience CP, ogrcim The Work Experience Program is one of the new opportunities offered to students at Community High School. The program makes it possible for the students to work part time and attend school part time. They earn school credit for this work experience. The purpose of the program is to provide a practical part of the student's education by giving him the opportunity of getting actual experience on the job. This program plays an important part in the War Emergency Program. Many students are working in essential industries. Eighteen boys are carrying a full work load of forty-eight hours and going to school. Lawrence Smotherman, a new member of the faculty, is work coordinator. He is here to help the working students in adjusting themselves to the job and also to the school program. He works with the student, the school, and the employer. This contact helps to develop a closer relationship between the home, the school, and industry. Since a large portion of a person's life is spent working, the students of Community High School are fortunate in having such an opportunity to adjust themselves to life at work while they are still under the guidance of the school. These students are on the W.E.P. for credit. There are about seventy-five more who are working outside of their school time. There have been approximately thirty other students who have been on the Work Experience Program for a period less than one semester. Barnett, Russell Bazzell, Dickie Brouse.

Top Picture A sincere and siudied attempt is being made this semester to provide for the students a course which will be basic, practical, and interesting. Everything possible is being done to adjust individual activities to individual needs, abilities, and interests. The major fields of activity will center around (1) the problem of understanding yourself and getting along with people, (2) the study of current affairs and the problems facing you as citizens now and later, and (3) the study of vocational problems, including pre-induction plans for boys. jLibrurij Lower Picture In four years the library book collection has increased to over 5,000 volumes in addition to the pamphlets, magazines, and records. These are used by students and teachers as a laboratory to augment text book material. Library service has been extended to the school district by means of three branch collections in various parts of the district, as well as adult use of the high school book collection. The addition of Venetian blinds and new flooring this year have increased the attractiveness of the library workshop. Page Twenty-fire Chemistry Top Tii lure With unwavering faith in the importance of Chemistry in daily living and the emergencies of wartime the objectives of the course have been organized to contribute to the actual needs and problems of the students. Besides basic facts and concepts as exemplified by the atomic structure, valence, ionization, and catalysis, the properties of elements and their compounds as family activities are studied. For modern tempo, synthetic rubber and high octane aviation gasoline are investigated. In keeping with the times, the horrid aspects of the war’s destructive forces, as explosives, incendiaries, and poison gases are reviewed. Some training will be given to aid graduates to be prepared to work in laboratories of the community. High school students are being readily accepted for such jobs as routine control and analytical procedures. fPhijsics Lower Picture Physics is a third-year science course and a student can complete a major in science by taking Physics. The course consists of a study of mechanics, forces, heat, magnetism, electricity, light, and sound. The principles of science are taught with emphasis being placed upon their application to problems of life. Many illustrations are drawn from the airplane, the automobile, the submarine, the radio, and television. The opportunities for visual education in the course are plentiful with about forty films being used each year. Page Twenty-six BOOKKEEPING First Row — Green, B.

(Sookkeepincj Records and their proper interpretation are essential in all types of business. Commerce and industry as we have it today would be impossible without adequate records for control purposes, and they are equally important for the smaller business, which frequently fail for lack of them. Records held bring about greater business efficiency and decreased operating costs, with the result that the consumer can buy merchandise at a lower price. Records are also essential in the management of personal and home affairs if incomes are to be used to the best advantage. The course as taught begins with simple personal and group record keeping, then to the proprietorship, partnership and wholesale forms of business. Three practice sets are completed during the year: (DA retail furniture business, (2) a wholesale radio and refrigerator business, and (3) a wholesale auto accessories business. Page Tlecnty-sevcn Top Picture The Shorthand course is offered to both Juniors and Seniors. The requirement for the year is the ability to take five minutes of dictation at sixty words per minute. Many of the students are able to take dictation at eighty words per minute. A part of the year is spent in transcribing shorthand notes on the typewriter. Some of the time is devoted to a study of personality development. ,Ack ■aneed cJyping Lower Picture The advanced typists have a speed requirement of forty-five words a minute to meet. However, this is considered the minimum speed for which to strive. All of the students spend part of their second year working with and for teachers. The students do a great deal of stenciling and work on the Ditto Machine. The second year is definitely functional typing. The typing of intricate tabulations, legal documents, and invoices form a part of the Advanced Typing course. Talcing dictation at the typewriter and composing at the typewriter are additional skills given in this class. The instructor is Miss Crain.

The fundamental skills remain about the same but the type of drawing has shifted. The shift has been toward working drawings of machine parts. Working drawings are represented by orthographic projection which means that the exact shape is shown by views. Under working drawings we have two types, detail and assembly. Mechanical drawing is recommended the third year. Each student is expected to complete about thirty-five plates in this course. The first semester all drawings are in pencil, but the second semester all drawings must be in pencil, then inked. 3 . inting Lowcr Picture Printing is offered to Seniors and Juniors with Seniors having first choice. The first thing to be taken up is the California Job Case. This must be mastered by the student so he can locate instantly any letter or combination of letters in the alphabet. The student works on job exercises that are laid out in progressive learning steps. The student also gets to work on live jobs, that is jobs to be used at school such as class play programs, tickets, posters, announcements, office cards, grade cards, admittance slips and library slips. Linoleum block cutting and printing, also silk screen printing are among the students jobs. The Senior calling cards were printed by the class as in previous years. Page Twenty-nine (ftornemaking To Picture The Homemaking Program of the Community High School operates under Program III of the George-Deen Vocational Act. This program requires that the teachers visit the homes of the students in their classes in order to better plan the courses to meet the needs of the students. Each semester the students carry on home practices and home projects to further develop skills and managerial ability in the work carried on in the classroom. The aim of homemaking education is to provide experiences which will increase knowledge, develop skills, and establish techniques, attitudes, and ideals necessary for successful democratic family living. J ldvcincec l ill athematics Lower Picture This year the Advanced Math Class had one semester of advanced algebra and one of trigonometry. There are nineteen students enrolled. They represent the whole department of about two hundred students and the two instructors, Mrs. Williamson and Miss Glascock. Four freshmen, LeRoy Darnell, Jeanne Mund, Bill Watkins, and Arlene Hofstetter, distinguished themselves in an algebra test sent to various high schools from Carbondale, Illinois. The freshmen now taking math anticipate three or four years of math. Pat c Thirty iTlncient S'hstory Tof Picture Ancient history represents a short survey of Western civilization from its earliest beginnings to the founding of our country. A study is made of various social topics which are vital to an understanding of the relation of the past to the present. In Ancient History we find the foundations of our culture. Great social moves that have come down to affect our present lives have their origin with the Ancient peoples of Europe. In Ancient History we are able to become acquainted with many of the governments and social movements of the past and apply that which is good and eliminate that which is undesirable in our social and political thinking of today. Mr. Dyroff is the instructor. United States d(istorij Lower Picture United States History, the history of our country, offered in the Senior year is a course required by the laws of the State of Illinois, and which, by special permission may be taken by Juniors. It is a course devoted to the study of our country from the date of its discovery to the present day. During the present turmoil of the world it has a special meaning to all who take it. Mr. Minier is the instructor. Page Thirty-one Top lJii l urc Miss Duez s beginning French class for the most part has been working on vocabulary. With a good foundation they have been advancing quite well in the use of the language by various methods. They have been listening to records of correct French. Then, they make discs of their own speech. When they play these back they can determine what they are doing wrong and how to improve their mistakes. All in all it is proving to be a very interesting and active class.

Its members have had charge of all bond and stamp sales. A Bond Drive was sponsored in February. The total sales for the year were $4,500.00. The Sadie Hawkins' party drew the biggest crowd of the year and, incidentally, brought the Student Council out of the red. The annual District Meeting of Student Councils was held here on March 15, with approximately 10 schools attending. Panel discussions were held on pertinent problems relating to Student Council activities. This spring seven delegates were sent to the meeting of Illinois Association of Student Councils in Chicago, Illinois. The co-sponsors of the Student Council are Miss Liebig, Miss Crain and Mr. Barker.

The Band was composed of 66 members. It played for football games, pep assemblies, and has worked very hard this year. It also put on floor shows at the halves of the basketball games. Some of the outstanding floor shows put on by the Band were patriotic numbers, honoring the armed forces by playing The Marines Hymn, Anchors Aweigh, and many others. Twirling acts were also put on by the Majorettes and other specialty numbers. The Band has also given a number of band concerts this year in assemblies and on the campus.

It consists of 25 members under the direction of Mr. Lovell. Due to the fact that the supplies used in this club are vital to the war effort, the work of the students has been limited. In February a student contest was held. The pictures were submitted and judged by the entire group, and prizes were awarded.

These girls each have a project of their own choosing upon which to work. Then' can make tables, lamps, what-not shelves, magazine racks or anything they are interested in. In working with leather they can also make costume jewelry such as pins, clips, earrings, or beads. This is one of the major activities for girls as it offers them a chance to become acquainted with shop work and at the same time make many useful articles. This gives girls mechanically inclined an opportunity of proving their ability in achieving something in this particular field. Readers Club extends to students an opportunity to better appreciate the many good books available to them. It is a drive to start the development of good reading habits and at the same time furnishes a lot of pleasure for them, under the direction of Mr. Painter. From the large selection in our library they read various books and publications, and also listen to recording of better books. When possible they have movies of some books. This is one of the newer activities for the benefit of students. Lower Picture Page Forty-six TTiinstrel cShow The Junior Class voted to present a minstrel instead of a play this year.

The attendants were from the Junior class as follows: Vrene Behen, Vera Turner, Bluebelle Brauch, Wanda Damman, Geraldine Dickey and Virginia Cash. The crown bearer, Doris June Dixon, and the flower girl, Phyllis Ann Swartz, wore formals. George Carr and his seven-piece orchestra and singer provided the music. Page Forty-eight Senior LPlay The Senior Class Play seemed to be the jinx! First, it was the man shortage and then it was the flood which caused it to be postponed. Brother Goose was finally given on the afternoon of May 16 and the evening of May 17 to the most appreciative audiences. Clinton Proffer, a junior, was drafted to play the title role of Brother Goose ; Walter Stein, a sophomore, was selected to play the younger brother, Wes. Others in the cast were Dot Edwards, Peggy, played lead opposite Clinton, who is supposed to sell hosiery; Rosemary Mitchell, Hy, the younger sister who likes football; Jerry Dickey, Lenore, the wealthy friend of Jeff's; Vrene Behen, Carol, another sister; Helen Kock, Eve, the southern charmer; Mary Lou Jerome, Mrs. Trimmer, a woman of force; and Enid Krack, Gene Chaplain, and Mary Zebos.

All were cheerleaders last year except Joy Levin. They were elected by the student body. CTootball Loner Picture This year has not been as successful as it might have been from the standpoint of a winning team. One strong feature of it was that even though we lost game after game the players did not desert us. They completed the schedule. It seems as though the best football material either had to work after school or could not get their parent s or doctor s permission, therefore we used lightweights and were outclassed practically in all the game of the season. Since there were only three senior lettermen, most of the team will be back next fall. Ralph Hotto was elected captain to pilot the 1944 squad. The schedule was as follows: D.C.H.S., 6 Sparta, 27 D.C.H.S., 6—Marquette, 46 D.C.H.S., 0—Valley High, 25 D.H.C.S., 0—Cathedral, 31 D.C.H.S., 6—Sparta, 41 D.C.H.S., 6—Marquette, 32 D.C.H.S., 7—Roxanna, 33 Page Fifty-one £Basketball When basketball came around, about forty candidates for the basketball team reported to Coach Willis. The task of selecting the best was not an easy one, but Mr. Willis succeeded admirably. Having only one of last year's team to start the season with, meant a great handicap to the school as practically each of our neighboring high schools had an experienced team with which to start. We have not won any championships this year, but we have played clean, hard games and need not be ashamed of our record. Clinton Proffer was elected captain for the 1943-44 squad.
