Foster, Harlan Chamberlain, Jim White, Bill The Tigers did very well in tournament play this season. The first tournament the Tigers engaged in was the E. St. Louis Holiday Tournament. The first game of this tournament found the Tigers in a cold stage, and as a result they lost to St. Theresa’s of Decatur but they went on to beat Highland and Assumption of E. St. Louis to gain a consolation trophy. In their own Invitational Tourney the Tigers played Granite City and easily defeated them. In the second game the Tigers played Cathedral of Belleville and won, and the championship game found the Tigers opposed by a strong Belleville Township team. They defeated Belleville to win their own Invitational Tournament. Ill the first game of the Regional Tourney held here at Dupo the Tigers took an easy victory from Assumption. The second game is one that Dupo Tiger fans don’t care to discuss, for this game the Tigers lost to the Lincoln Tigers by a score of 51-50. Graduating lettermen are Glenn Graff, Don Chaney, Bob Eads, Frank Dollins, Ernie Broyhill, and Jon Bell. Dollins, Tom Sukup, Larry Henson, David • i A 1

Graff, Glenn Broyhill, Ernie Bell, Jon The basketball season is the most important part of the year to most students. This year the Tigers had a very good team. They worked as any good team should work, making few mistakes and many baskets. The Tigers won the Cahokia Conference in their last year in the conference. Their conference record was 13-1. This lone defeat came at the hands of the O-Fallon Panthers in an upset victory. The team won 3rd place in the E. St. Louis Holiday Tournament, and won their own Invitational Tournament. Three records were broken by the Tigers 6’-3” center, Glenn Graff. Glenn rewrote the conference record of total points in one season and the highest number of points in one game with 75 points. Earlier this year Glenn set a new school record of 47 points and then broke it again at Waterloo with his astonishing 75 points. Chaney, Don Eads. Bob Dollins, Frank 20

JUNIOR PLAY Plays in which men are excluded from the casts are not so rewarding to an audience as plays with mixed casts. But we feel that “Family Tree” suffers as little from the absence of men as any play we’ve seen in a long time. Even the much-talked-of Ben-jie isn’t missed. Girls like to wear attractive clothes and they get their chance in “Family Tree.” This was the Junior Class choice for presentation on February 1 and 2, 1956. The play was directed by Miss Ardath Short. The following girls made up the cast: Bonnye McGinnis, Maureen Masters. Iva Griffin, Javine Witcher, Peggy Noles, Glenda Oakley, Delores Kohlenberger, Sue Boswell, Ethel Peterson. Glenna Claussen, Sarah Barnett, and Mary Lou Tucker. FRESHMAN TROPHY Under the guidance of their capable coach, Mr. Epperson, the freshman basketball team was able to bring home the first place trophy from the Cahokia Commonfields Freshman Invitational Tournament. In this picture Danny Dell, the team representative, presents the trophy to Mr. Daugherty. 22
