Upon reflection, we realize that everything we do each day is made possible by the sacrifices of these millions. It seems only just that we should dedicate this volume to the members of the armed services of the Class of 1945 who have made it possible for us to edit our year book. May they be blessed and returned safely to their homes. Pane Four MISS SUE CRAIN We, the Senior Class of 1945, feel that this Annual would not be complete without an acknowledgment by us of the part which Miss Crain, our Class Sponsor, has played in its success. Without her judgment, foresight, enthusiasm, and patience we could not present this Reflections of 1945 with such great pride to our friends, parents, and fellow students.

They decide the teachers' fate— Keep our school right up-to-date. Engage the principal; only the best. Select our books, and all the rest. They see that things are running smooth. Keep our students in the groove. So take a bow, you men of the Board, You've earned the thanks of all the Horde!

We plan and scheme and think we are smart, but his insight and understanding of what makes us tick makes him outwit us every time! Faculty and students agree that as an administrator, he is tops.

That is correct, the door to the right for tardy passes—and your reason had better be plenty good. Let's see, credits, telephone, stencils, ditto carbon. Anything else?

C. H. S. The teachers and principal took one look at them, and the result was two sponsors, Mr. Murfin and Miss Crain. These freshmen got initiated to the social whirl at their Hallowe'en party. During their sophomore year, their social activities were limited due to the war, but not their ideas! At the beginning of their junior year, Mr. Murfin's other activities overwhelmed him and he resigned as co-sponsor. They were now among the chosen few—upper classmen. They circled a very important date on their calendar—the Junior-Senior Prom. They devised many ways of financing their prom and did a bang-up good job of itl Then came the Mo-Pac Minstrel which hit a new high in popularity. They had as much or more fun in giving it than the audience did in seeing it. May 19, 1944, was the big nite—the Junior-Senior Prom. They enjoyed the swing and sway Tommy Harrison way. The dance was held in the new gym for the first time. They carried out a nautical theme with anchors, life buoys, signal flags, and white-capped waves. Their senior year found them flitting around frantically — selling ads, taking pictures, selling annuals, haunting teachers for write-ups—yes, the Annual staff was at work. They gave the Hickville Wiggle in December. A combination of cakewalks, an auction, square dancing, and social dancing made this a rare occasion. The class agreed that a mellerdramer was their choice for their production of the year. Never a dull moment. Graduation came too soon to such an enthusiastic and ingenious class.

Last week we were Freshmen, scared and shy. But people were swell, so that passed by. Into the Sophomore stage—smart and debonaire, Always in the teachers' hair. Then we were Juniors, working hard every day, With the prom and rehearsals for our play. But now it's today, and our time grows short. We seniors have tried to tell, in part Of how we felt and what went on— So, good-bye, now, our time is gone. —Becky Williams. l}agc Twenty-one Juniors Now- CLASS OFFICERS President - -- -- -- -- - Keith Stroupe Vice-President - -- -- -- - Eugene Joshu Secretary-Treasurer ------ Ardelle Buschman JJun tor Gla ss JKistory In the fall of 1943, a new group invaded Dupo. They quickly established a beachhead by acquiring a sponsor, Miss Sielert, and electing class officers. During the year, Miss Sielert left and Mrs. Davy took over. They really got under way their junior year. Every athletic event fourtd the Juniors there selling candy and soda pop. They also sold Christmas cards in November and December. Nothing slow about these Juniors! They knew the Junior-Senior Prom was coming up, and they were going to be prepared. On November 27, 1944, they gave a Football Dance, an innovation for D. C. H. S. Joy Levin was elected Football Queen. Her attendants were Betty Donner, Virginia Ripplinger, Marie Jerome, and Jo Ann Markee. In February they gave a play, Midnight,” that took the school by storm. This mystery kept us all on the edge of our seats. Unheard of talent suddenly turned up in this play, and the Juniors scored another success. Vaqc Twenty-two Next Year - Wow I First Row — D.

Page Twenty-three CLASS OFFICERS President - -- -- -- -- - Robert Joshu Vice-President - -- -- -- - Robert Swoboda Secretary-Treasurer ------ Clarence Langwith This group of Stooges (we are only kidding) started on their high school career in September, 1943. Mr. Smotherman, their class sponsor, started them out on the right foot. (Any foot would be the right foot with him as sponsor.) Following the semester exams (to cheer us up, no doubt), they gave an all-school party. This was a unique affair. The girls did the askin', payin', and cutting in. Turn about is fair play—the sophomores figured. It was all in fun, so everyone got into the spirit of the thing and had fun! It really was something to see the boys being wallflowers. They took the song Don't Fence Me In and carried out that theme in their decorations and program. Page Twenty-four Qood Enough! First Row — J. Casey, A. Mathews, C. Capps. V. Comstock. B. Lopinot.

They may be referred to as the Green Crop, but just give them a couple of years. Everyone is expecting big things from this class sponsored by Mr. Murfin. The Freshman Class gave an all-school party in honor of good old St. Patrick. This party was enlivened by interesting games. Remember the mad scramble for potatoes. They gave a program that made everyone sit up and take notice. They are the largest class ever to enter D. C. H. S., and chances are a hundred to one that they will accomplish much in their four years. There is no question in our minds but what this class will live up to everyone's expectations and then some!

This enriches such units of work as flower arrangement, food preservation, preparation of breakfast and luncheon dishes and the preparation of food for special occasions; a familiarity with nutrition information is the basis for this course. In order to make the work more practical in the classroom and at home, the girls study about marketing and actually do class and home shopping. During the year the classes have numerous opportunities of serving meals to groups of people. Lower Picture In the Homemaking Classes under Mrs. Frazier's instruction, emphasis is placed on good grooming and the selection, construction, and conservation of clothing. Following a study of textiles this year, an exhibit was prepared of articles from many countries, including Mexico, Italy, France, Ireland, the Philippines, Morocco, Japan and Guatemala. A fall style show was presented by Miss Elizabeth Swordes, New York stylist. Progressively difficult projects are developed in the classroom and as home projects. Page Twenty-nine , Advanced cJyping Top Picture During the second year of typing, students are taught to type stencils and ditto copy. They also learn to use the mimeograph and ditto machine efficiently. Students take dictation at the typewriter. This can only be done after acquiring a mastery of grammar, punctuation, spelling, and typing skill. Vocational efficiency is the main objective in the advanced year of typing. Students spend a part of their class time typing for teachers. Students are encouraged to assume responsibility and to use initiative in all their typing work. Lower 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. Pni c Thirty (Bookkeeping Top I’iclurc The primary objective in the study of bookkeeping is to develop some degree of skill in keeping records of business transactions, making reports and interpreting results, however, there are other important objectives. Among these are the personal use that may be made of the subject; the development of correct business habits; the better understanding of business relationships and the opportunity for the student to explore the field of bookkeeping and accounting to test his aptitude and ability for that type of work. ffirc -oflight Aeronautics Glass Lower Picture The course includes the fundamentals of Aerodynamics, Aircraft Structure and Power Plant, Meteorology, Navigation, and Civil Air Regulations. Pre-Flight is recommended for Seniors. Both girls and boys are accepted. Our graduates of the past two years, who are in the military service, and especially those in the Army Air Corps, report that the course has been helpful to them. Pape Tliirty-onc llTechamcal (Drawing Tof1 Picture This course is trying to help meet the present day cry of industry for more draftsmen and blue print readers. The early part of the year is spent learning the proper use of drawing instrument and drawing technique. Over a period of a year a student will complete 40 or 50 plates depending on the speed of the student. Most of the plates are inked the last semester and this takes added skill. Shop (Hand [Vooc working Lower Picture This course is mainly the study and the use of hand woodworking tools. The first six weeks are spent in the classroom, getting acquainted with the different tools and the different skills that can be acquired by using them. The boys also learn the proper care of tools, board feet, finish a project properly, different kinds of wood, apply hardware, etc. After the boys have finished the text, they enter the shop and apply the various manipulative skills. Page Thirty-two wncec .TUcjeLra In these pictures you see representatives of the 230 students and 3 teachers who constitute the Math Department of this school. The teachers are Miss Glascock, Miss Munzenmaier, and Mr. Smotherman. Two freshman courses are offered—General Math as a practical course for all and Algebra I as a more abstract course. Plane Geometry, Advanced Algebra, Trigonometry, and Senior Math are taught to those who desire to specialize in the scientific field. Page Thirty-three Top Picture What do they do in Voice Class? Well, of course they sing, but that isn't all. First everyone has to learn how to breathe and from then on a lot of work is done trying to improve everyone's tone quality, enunciation, stage presence and so forth. During the second semester students work on individual solos and sing them for each other, exchanging helpful criticisms. Wo oc I wine I Class Lower Picture The Woodwind Class has 27 members and includes 4 alto saxophones, 1 tenor saxophone, 2 flutes, and 20 clarinets. The students are all beginners, most of them have not had any previous musical knowledge. These students get one year's daily training and are required to do 3 hours practice per week outside of daily work. These students form the backbone of our future band and orchestra of D. C. H. S. Page Thirty four fPh ysics Top 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. Chemistry Lower Picture 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 modem tempo, synthetic rubber and high octane aviation gasoline are investigated. Page Tliirty-fire CPhysical Education for Soys Tof Picture The physical education program is made up of a variety of activities through which it aims to satisfy: (1) physical needs, promoting physical growth, development, and conditioning of the individual by favorably affecting fundamental muscular, organic, and nerve structures; (2) intellectual needs, offering opportunity for mental development and the enlargement of the range of knowledge by stimulating mental activity on the part of the students; (3) social needs, contributing to the social development and adjustment of the individual by providing opportunities for valuable social reactions and relations. !Physical Education for Cfirls Lower Picture The Physical Education classes participated in seasonal sports—soccer, hockey, basketball, volley ball, and softball. Throughout the year many students participated in individual recreational sports such as: tennis, archery, golf, horseshoes, table tennis, and tumbling. During the winter months, marching, calisthenics, and rhythmic activities, such as: country dancing and social dancing are taught. Page Thirty-six fPnnting Top Picture The students first learn the California Job Case and are assigned regular learning exercises. A new interest this year was the printing of personalized stationery for those wanting to do so; also linoleum block work and silk screen printing. The usual school jobs of play programs, posters, tickets, announcements, office forms, and Senior calling cards were among the larger jobs completed this year. cJhe Work Experience CP, ogram Lcnver Picture 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 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. Mr. Lawrence Smotherman is work co-ordinator. His job is to help the work students adjust 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. Page Thirty-seven To ’ Picture Sophomores are required to take two semesters of English. One of which is a study of literature and rhetoric; the other semester is speech. Miss Smith and Mrs. McGuire teach the literature course; and Miss Smith teaches all of the speech classes. Lower Picture A good foundation is the first essential of all good buildings. That is why so much importance is placed on the first year of English in high school. It is only through the use of our Mother Tongue that we are able to convey ideas from one to the other. Good English is not like a coat that can be put on, or taken off, at will. Page Thirty-eight Hncient (History Top 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. United (States History 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. Bolerjack is the instructor. Page Thirty-nine rj, ench Class Tof Picture The first year French Class is rather unusual in that the pupils use French all year by speaking it in class from the beginning, reading French books and newspapers, telling short stories, and working French cross-word puzzles. Each student's speech (pronunciation and intonation) progress is being kept by making records at the end of each six weeks’ period, or as seems wise. Records are also made of French songs which are not now available. cS octal ffi, ob ferns Lower Picture Social Problems is an elective course for one year, and counts, with history, toward a major in social studies. The purpose of the course is to help the student to understand himself and the groups with which he has contact, directly and indirectly. As indicated by the title, the approach is from the standpoint of problems, for the individual and of the group. The methods of the course include: Informal explanations, informal class discussions by students, reading and analyzing newspapers and magazines, reading recent books, comments on movies, and listening to the radio. Page Forty Top Picture The Adventures in Appreciation is a semester course. The English course on the Sophomore level has as its aim an introduction of the students to the basic literary types of prose and poetry for the purpose of developing versatile readers whose reading tastes and habits of response are beyond the juvenile. (Biology Lower Picture Biology is a study of all living things, both plant and animal, which leads to an understanding of the important functions, activities, and adjustments of organism. The student develops a feeling of being a part of the great stream of life and a desire to contribute to the betterment of life in all its forms. Page Forty-one The central library serves as a work shop {or classes in addition to assisting students, faculty, and community to enjoy books. Cafeteria The cafeteria is managed very efficiently by Mrs. Grace Stickann, aided by Mrs. Lucy Hunter, Mrs. Esther Illert, Mrs. Lucille Talley, Mrs. Ruby Bell, and a group of students. The cafeteria is run on a non-profit basis and affords the students an attractive and inexpensive place in which to eat. Page Forty-two V. • ACTIVITIES Illiterate Litter The Annual Staff met regularly the fourth hour on Thursday, however, the staff spent many additional hours selling advertisements, laying out the Annual, and securing snapshots. Their objective was to edit a yearbook superior in every respect. The staff tried diligently to make this year's book a lasting tribute to their four years of study and fun at D. C. H. S. The High School Echo, which is published weekly, is edited by the following staff headed by Jo Ann Markee. Delores Diehl, Charles Fitts, Betty Lee Jerome, Marie Jerome, Lela Leonard, Nadine Loewe, John O'Donnell, Arlene Morris, Jean Mund, Helen Poe, Jo Ann Reichert, Betty Snow, and Marvin Revelle. Delores Diehl is associate editor and Nadine Loewe is in charge of exchanges and circulations. Originality, dependability, and efficiency are qualities required of this group who attempt to echo the ideas, opinions and life of the Community High School. Mrs. McGuire is the sponsor. Page Forty-three ramatics The popularity of Dramatics in D. C. H. S. is attested by the fact that seventy-eight pupils enrolled in the club this year. The major events of the year were the three-act comedy Best Foot Forward and the reception for parents, faculty, and cast members. The leadership of the club was in the hands of capable officers: Jo Ann Markee, president; John O'Donnell, vice-president; Clinton Proffer, secretary-treasurer; Hugh Howe, program chairman; and Miss Henrietta Smith, sponsor. cStage Crew The Stage Crew has had a busy time this year building sets for the three major productions and rehanging the cyclorama which was cleaned during the summer. The efficiency of the crew has increased considerably because of the new stage lighting equipment purchased by the Board of Education. Page Forty-four (Radio The weekly radio program sponsored by the Radio Club of D. C. H. S. over WTMV is continuing in its popularity. The winning of first place, in the national contest sponsored by Ohio State University last year, has been a constant challenge to this year's club members. They continued in their discussion of youth's attitudes on current problems. Readers' Club extends to students an opportunity to better appreciate the many good books available to them. This club starts the development of good reading habits and at the same time furnishes a lot of pleasure for its members. From the large selections in the library they read various books and publications, and also listen to recording of better books. When possible they have movies of some books. Page Forty-five The purpose of the Leaders’ Club is to stimulate interest in girls' athletics and sports. This group plans activities for both Leaders' Club and G. A. A. This group is composed mostly of older girls. Q. X. X. The purpose of the G. A. A. is to stimulate interest in girls' athletics and sports and to standardize and promote ideals of health and sportsmanship. Officers of the club are: President..........................Wanda Pluff Vice-President........................Marie Jerome Secretary.............................Mary Crouch Each year a number of girls spend two weeks at Talahi, a girls' camp which is located at Grafton, Illinois. The girls make new friends, play games, and have a chance to learn about school life in other communities. l‘a je Forty-six !.Printing Club This activity consists of students who are interested in printing and wish to advance themselves further by joining the club. They work on their assignments and also help with the school jobs. There are 14 students in the club. Their co-operative assistance contributes to the success of the school's plays and parties. Girls' Biome TYlechanics Girls' Home Mechanics, under the leadership of Mr. Baker, meets Monday and Wednesday the 5th hour in the shop room. This organization is one of the newest and is enjoyed by the girls who participate in the making of such things as: lamps, stools, book holders, belts, tables, pins, pocketbooks, and many other useful articles. Pane Forty-seven An enjoyable activity providing an opportunity for students interested in this field is the Photography Club. 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. iTCircraft Spotters' C Inl) Aircraft recognition has been so popular as to warrant two sections with meetings once a week. To keep informed about the new aircraft of the United States, our allies, and our enemies, keeps us busy. Even our younger boys and girls are very well informed about the identification of planes that have been in production for a year or longer, but the improvements of new models is a challenge with which to keep abreast. Scrapbooks of aircraft pictures are made by club members and presented to the American Junior Red Cross. Patje Forly-riphl Knitting (dlul) The Knitting Club is sponsored by Mrs. Frazier. Many of the girls are beginning knitters, learning the basic stitches. The advanced class are knitting Red Cross sweaters, Army and Navy scarfs, and trigger mitts. Several of the girls are knitting sweaters for themselves or friends. An Afghan is being completed for the Red Cross. c) irst JCJ The Standard Red Cross First Aid Course requires a minimum of 20 hours of instruction. The course combines lecture, discussion and demonstration, followed with practice work by each student. First Aid instruction is given in every day language. The use of technical terms is purposely avoided. Page Forty-nine (Junior JKonor Society For the Junior Honor Society, a scholarship of B average is required. Student Leadership, Service, Character, and School Citizenship are additional considerations in determining members. The purpose of the Society is to stimulate growth in these desirable achievements and as future citizens it is hoped that the society's members will exercise an influence that will uplift the secondary schools of our land. As a special war-time project the Honor Societies are maintaining a Military Service Record as accurate and up-to-date as possible. Five hundred thirty-four names are now listed on the Honor Roll. Mr. Maas has been sponsor since September, 1934. Senior JJJonor Society The purpose of this organization is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of American Secondary Schools. Students elected by the faculty become active members following their initiation. The Honor Society collected and rearranged the past records of the chapter, assisted with the Honor Roll, and sponsored a waste paper drive. I’aye Fifty (H.ome fbcononucs Glut There are two active Home Economics Clubs in the D. C. H. S. Both clubs are affiliated with the National Home Economics Association. Each club has its own officers, but the organizations carry on similar activities whereby the girls earn the Home Economics Club emblem, the gold or silver Betty Lamp on a maroon background. Polly , lmui dub Polly Anna Club meets Monday 4th hour and is just what the name signifies. The members are Polly Anna's who do all the odd jobs that need to be done in and about the Home Economics department. The group consists of girls who have had previous training in Home Economics Classes and have proven they are efficient and capable workers. Page Fifty-one a nee (Band This activity was organized last year and has become exceptionally popular. It played for several noon-hour dances and school parties. The band numbers 20 select musicians of ability. (Orchestra This group is made up of 38 students of considerable musical experience and background. Ever-favorite and light classical music is covered during the year’s work. This orchestra played for the Commencement Exercises in June. Page Fifty-txvo txe cl 0,0ir A small group of selected voices, this group enjoyed working on more serious music and emphasized building musicianship. Although they were able to meet only once a week, they prepared an assembly program and also went to the festival. ixec I Chorus This group is the largest of the vocal groups. Although some effort was made to improve singing ability and broaden appreciation in general, the emphasis was on enjoyment of music with popular appeal. This group contributed several members for assembly programs and participated in the spring festival. Pape Fifty-three (Banc! This organization includes 78 boys and girls who have no doubt enjoyed the pleasure and hard work it took to present musical entertainment, pep, and special shows at our football and basketball games. The band also played for the American Legion Honor Roll dedication, presented two assembly programs, and one outdoor campus concert. These two groups met separately once a week and worked on familiar favorites most of the time. The boys enjoyed such songs as the Riff Song and ”OT Man River. The girls presented a cantata at Christmas-time called The Childe Jesus. From all the choral clubs two groups of selected voices were chosen to form a girls' and boys' ensemble. These groups met once a week and furnished entertainment for assembly and out-of-school programs. Page Fifty-four I Stunt Club is an organization to teach stunts and tumbling activities beyond the ability of the average student. Through these activities a neuromuscular development takes place which results in skill in the use of the body. In addition, the performance of these activities aims to develop such desirable social traits as co-operation, leadership, fellowship, initiative, resourcefulness, dependableness, and the ability to adjust oneself to working with others. Page Fifty-fire cStudent Council The Student Council has been in the process of revision most of the school year. The representatives in this picture plus one person elected from each second hour class have been instrumental in changing the Student Council. The Student Council gives students practice in facing problems realistically and helping in their solution; it gives students the opportunity to govern themselves, thus developing self-control and initiative. D. Cookson, Delores Diehl, Jo Ann Markee. Joy Levin These are the cheerleaders who have put vim, vigor and vitality into our student body. These girls were elected by the entire student body.

Dupo began preparation for their 1944 football season on August 25. The coach was new, the boys were green, but the coach knew the game, and the boys were willing to learn. When you have that combination you're bound to get results, as was proven in the latter part of the season. The squad had had a few weeks of light workouts last spring under Coach Baker, but the real work was just beginning. There were three good weeks of practice before the first game, and in this time the coach had to get the boys in shape, and get across to them the fundamentals of the game. On September 23 we opened the season with Roxana. In this game Coach Baker was able to find out the weak spots in his inexperienced team. It was hard fought by every man, but the lack of experience showed up in the 6-0 defeat. With one game's experience, the team began to improve rapidly. On the following week-end we met Cathedral of Belleville. The game was very close with neither team being able to score until in the last five minutes of the final quarter, when Glenn (Maudine) Morineau plowed across from the six-yard line for the only touchdown of the afternoon. The team had looked good, but still needed plenty of work. Our next two games were defeats. They were dealt to us by Marquette, of Alton, and Sparta. The score in both games was 26-6. That gave us a record of three defeats to one victory. To say that we had a fair season we would have to win the remainder of our games. On October 21, we journeyed to St. Genevieve where we gained a victory. This gave us 2 wins and 3 losses. 'age Fifty-eight Are Sharp! The following week-end we played Marquette, the same team that defeated us 26-6 in the third game of the season. The boys had been working hard and were looking forward to it. Everybody was worked up and the night before we had a big bon-fire and pep rally. From the very first quarter everyone knew that it was going to be a tight ball game. This is the game the Coach as well as the boys had been waiting for. Marquette drew first blood and scored in the second quarter. The try for point failed. This one touchdown grew larger and larger; as the game drew to a close it looked as if it would end that way. Dupo was on their own 30-yard line with less than 3 minutes to play. John O'Donnell then threw a 30-yard pass to Don Creath who ran the remaining 40 yards for a touchdown. The game ended in a 6-6 deadlock. The last game of the season was against Roxana, the team that we played the first of the year. Here we showed just how much we had improved by defeating them 20-7. This ended a pretty fair season for the team, but, because of the many underclassmen and inexperienced boys, the true value will be seen in the teams of the next few years.

(Basket ball Coach Willis started in the 1944-45 basketball season with some truly grrr-grrr tigers very capable of producing a fine team. Dupo had a highly successful season this year with 22 victories and 6 defeats. Dupo was ranked with the best teams in this district. They lost a few hard-fought battles but had one of the best records in a long time for our school. Not only did our team have a fine record, but they captured the Cahokia Conference with 12 victories and 2 defeats. The Dupo team was noted for its teamwork, aggressiveness, and good sportsmanship. The students and faculty are proud of this year's team. Captain Clinton Proffer, Joe Portell, Everett Amos, Bob (Dyke) Schiemer, and Gene Joshu were the tough tigers this year and gave brilliant perform- • ances throughout the season. In the Regional Tournament, held at Belleville, our Dupo Tigers won their first game from the Waterloo Bulldogs by the score of 48-36. The team met the Belleville five in the semi-finals. The Tigers lost this game by the score of 27-25 after leading the Maroons more than half the game. This was by far the best game our team has exhibited all year. They gave the Belleville team a battle and played a game of which they may well be proud.

Proffer. iBaseball Baseball is somewhat of a question this year. We say this because the team is going to lack the strong pitching staff it has had in recent years. Fritz Young will not be around this year with his strong right arm when the going gets tough and this is the main reason for the unpredictable season. Looking on the brighter side we see veteran Reno on the mound and Proffer in the backstop position with a few lettermen in the infield and outfield backing them up. Creath, our stellar hitter, is back again to roam the center of our outfield and he will be a problem for every pitcher just as he was last year. Here's hoping Dupo comes up with a strong club just as it has in the past. Page Sixty-tzco EVA PRICE Queen of the Junior-Senior Prom The event of the year—the Junior-Senior prom. With their dazzling long dresses, high heels, and be-yoot-i-ful hair-dos, the gals sure looked super. One might say, they were slick chicks. The masculine element of our schools smoothed their hair, got that certain gleam in their eyes, and escorted their favorite girls to the prom. The new gym was transformed into the deck of a steamer. The S. S. Dupo sailed the high seas for one wonderful night. Eva Price was perfection personified as queen. The glamorous attendants made this occasion something we won't forget for a long, long time! The attendants were Dolores Holmes, Betty Bonner, Betty Bums, Joy Levin, Jo Ann Markee, and Bettie Rachel. Maybe you think they didn’t look smooth as the spot light followed them down the long, long path to the stage! Page Sixty-three Best Foot Forward given by the Dramatics Club was more than successful. Clarence Wurtz, who played the role of a newspaper reporter, practically stole the show. Especially when he told Gale Joy, played by Edna Mae Edward, the Hollywood movie actress, that her picture was good because it remained at the local theater two nights. Jo Ann Markee kinda got Don Reed into an awkward situation. As in all of Miss Smith's productions, this cast did put its best foot forward. On February 14th and 15th the Junior Class presented a play titled Midnight. This was a mystery, comedy play packed with excitement in every act. The cast of characters were as follows: Aunt Julia by Maxine Rowe, Claire Greenwood by Gloria Kannady, Bob Morris by Elmer Williams, Mrs. Wick by Peggy Houseman, Mr. Hardman by Charles Keith, Joe Howard by Keith Stroupe, Hugh Nicholas by Billy Stewart, Leonard by Clarence Wurtz, Mr. Smith by John Painter, Paula Ward by Agatha Michael, Ellen by Marilyn Otter, Eddie by Robert Upchurch, and Kate Bagly by Edna Mae Edwards. Page Sixty-four We Qet Surprises When the Senior class decided to present a play, they searched diligently for something that would be unusual, something novel and different from anything that they had ever done before. Finally their attention was called to a play that is a combination of all the old-fashioned melodramas rolled into one and they immediately secured the rights to produce Pure as the Driven Snow, or A Working Girl's Secret. No melodrama is complete without a long-suffering heroine (and how she suffered through three acts at the hands of the arch villain who always wore a black mustache!), a manly hero and all the other trappings of a thriller. Along toward the final curtain, on a given cue, everything was righted; the villain received his just deserts, virtue triumphed and the manly hero crushed the trembling heroine in his arms, much to the audible delight of all and sundry!

Does that date call anything to mind? But definitely! 'Twas the Hickville Wiggle. Bet you farmer gals and lads were surprised when you bid those cakes up to three bucks and found you'd really bought yourself something! The Cookson-O'Donnell auction was a riot. Weren't the tin can crowns for Donna Mae and Jesse classy? The Virginia Reel left us reeling. The little jaunt to the Caseyville cannery by Miss Liebig's Advanced Food class was fun galore. Weren't the girls proud of their canning when it was on display in the halls? It is trips like this one that will live in our memory. Our band is really composed of a swell group of kids. They keep our morale high. They drilled and came up with this grand show on the football field. We're proud of you all, Mr. Murfin. A typical game at the D. C. H. S. football field. This football season left us all breathless. Our boys played hard and squarely and fought against tough competition. Three cheers for a team we will long remember. I’ai e Sixty-six A three-star rating to the Football Dance which the Juniors gave. Joy Levin was our unanimous choice for Football Queen. Ralph Hotto didn't look so bad himself! The old gym looked like something out of this world with its gay decorations. We danced and danced and finally had to give up and go home with another memory to cherish. You bet we had Christmas parties. Each second hour class took it upon themselves to have a grand celebration. Oh—much too much food was consumed. It took nerve to walk down to the cafeteria after all that feast. Mr. Bolerjack's class looks particularly pleased with its party. We were glad of the opportunity to meet our new faculty members. There was Miss Stockard, Miss Munzenmaier, Mr. Bolerjack, and his wife. The Juniors and Seniors graciously went through the receiving line, sipped their tea and departed. A new experience for most of us, but we liked it! This is the real thing—a radio broadcast. Every week a group of our students have the privilege of broadcasting over WTMV. The program is known as Youth Speaks. The broadcasts bring out student opinions and ideas on every subect imaginable. Page Sixty-seven Honor Society Initiation The goal we all strive for—initiation into the Honor Society. That is something worth working for. At this ceremony fifty-nine members were invited to join. That is the largest group in many a vear. (We must be getting smarter. I Our hats are off to the members of the National Honor Society! Deep Sea Diver Everyone was interested in the experienced deep sea diver. He made his stories so interesting we found cold chills running up and down our spines. He also gave us some enlightening information on the war. Christmas Cantata The Christmas Cantata left us in a reverent and somewhat sad mood. This assembly brought the true spirit of Christmas—Love— closer to each of us than any other one thing could have. Page Sixty-eight Pep Assembly When it comes to pep—we have it plus. Those cheerleaders have done a wonderful job of making our school spirit exuberant and unified. It isn't every day a fellow gets awarded a letter for football. These fellows really earned their letters and our respect. Mr. Baker, we extend our congratulations to you and your team. Variety Show If, as they say, “Variety is the spice of life,” then this assembly program was really spicy! Bettie Rachel and Doris Price were perfect as yokels—they tell us Bettie came from Arkansas originally. Bonham really played that “St. Louis Blues” on his electric guitar. The ensembles and mixed chorus really accentuated the positive in pleasure in this program We liked it! Style Show These gals really looked ravishing at the Simplicity Style Show. It certainly started new fads at D. C. H. S. Knowing what to wear and when to wear it is important these days. We are glad the Home Economics Department is guiding us in the right direction.
