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

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

ASSEMBLIES CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY One of the most enjoyable assemblies of the year was the Christmas Assembly. It was an entirely musical program presented by the band and several members of the Girl's Chorus, under the direction of Mr. Young. Many of the songs depicted Christmas in foreign countries, while others were the traditional Christmas carols. SOPHOMORE PARTY The Sophomore Class gave their annual all school party carrying out the Valentine theme. The decorations were red and white. Entertainment was furnished by the students. 23
