What is more fitting, then, that the Freshmen, in the green time of their lives, should enter school. We felt as though we held a very humble position among the other classes of the school. However, it did not take us long to rid ourselves of the an- noying feeling that confronted us. Immediately the thoughts of school spirit began to inspire the minds of every Freshman. The Class chose Walter Winters as President, and Thomas Marshall as Vice-President. Later they became “stars” in basket-ball, and, also in track work. The Freshm en participated in the annual entertainment presented by the Glee Club. As a general rule, Freshmen haven ' t the time to organize and enter into school activities. It is incumbent upon them to pursue the lessons assigned from day to day. Somewhat set aback by fear of certain subjects, the timid Freshmen en- tered their respective class-rooms, their knees trembling and their teeth chattering. During the nine months of study, toil and struggle bravely we strove together, wrestling with the problems the teachers set before us. Always striving forward with the never failing spirit of a conqueror, the time came when we stepped from the lowly Freshman to the jealous Sophomore. By this time we began to think we were quite an important factor in the school. We held our heads high and our backs straight for we were not yet overburdened with too great a problem of school life. The effusions in our Fresh- man year had long since fled ; and we felt supremely wise. In our class-rooms we often tried to display some of this wis- dom; it was often on this account that we received many a reproof from our teachers. Our class was still well represented in athletics. Walter Winters, the President of our class during the Sophomore year, still held his position as one of the “stars” on the basket ball team. The principal characters in the operetta given by the Glee Club were chosen from our class. Now we were eligible to enroll as a member of one of the two literary or- ganizations or of the debating society. Although we were chided by the upper classmen, we accepted their taunts as a challenge. With our minds made up to finish the job we had undertaken we struggled on till our Junior year. When school opened in September, 1917. we took our seats in the Junior row. With the eye of envy we beheld the austere Seniors occupying the place of honor. After a short time the class was organized. Thomas Marshall was elected President; Walter Winters Vice-President; Minnie Champion, Secretary, and Edna Ruyle. Treasurer. We flung aside all our foolish “stunts” and frivolities of the past; for our object now, was to make the best of our ability in order to reach the goal. Page Eleven Even though we had to sacrifice many of our pleasures during this term, due to the great war, and exert more effort in order to accomplish our school work creditably, we have succeeded in mastering the task. There were difficulties to encounter especially in chemistry, geometry, and language. Worse and worse became the examinations; more rigid at every trial and tert. We enjoyed several social functions during our Junior year which might be of interest to note. The first event was the entertainment given in honor of the Class of ' 18. It was held in the gymnasium, on October 30, the eve of Hallowe ' en They well repaid us for our courtesy shown them, by inviting the Junior Class to attend a Kid Garden Party. Many “kid games” were played, afterward a delicious luncheon was served, we departed feeling sure that the friendship between the two Classes had been strengthened. The last and greatest event of all was the annual boat excursion. A delightful trip was taken to Piasa, Chautauqua, and at 10:30 the happy party started for home. This pleasant day ends the record ot our Junior year. Now. this, the fourth year in the history of the great class of 19 has been one of much hard labor, and but little resting by the wayside. We organized on September 11th electing William Holst as our President. The other officers of the spring semester were Harry Hughes. Vice-President. Kathleen Rader. Secretary and Luella Deterding. Treasurer As the pride of our class grew, we began to wish for badges befitting our station, and samples of jewelry were sent to our class, and at last, after much considering and reconsidering, the class professed to be satisfied with its choice. Ac- cordingly the pins and rings were purchased, with which we felt well content. Owing to the influenza ban we had few social events during our Senior year. The main event was the Senior party given by the Senior girls in honor of the Senior boys. The gymnasium was festively decorated with crimson and gold Music was one of the features of the evening, especially that rendered by Maude Mueller, the musician of the Class of ' 19 Games were played throughout the evening, and at 10:00 a dainty luncheon served. Our departure was taken at a late hour. Near the close of our Senior year two great problems confronted us, namely, that of giving a class play and also publishing an annual. Both of which met with great success. We have up to this moment upheld the honor of our school. Our victories have been won not without a struggle but we have succeeded in the spirit of our motto: “Difficulties conquered are stepping stones to success.” RUTH LAWIN, Class Historian.

Page Sixteen EDUCATION AND THE PROBLEMS OF GRANITE (TTY During my high school course, I have had an opportunity to become acquainted with the problems of our High School as well as of our city. , The great World War has brot out the need of Greater Education for all Democratic Peoples” and, now that the war is over our time can be centered on Education. When our great draft took place in 1918 it was found that a great per cent of the men were illiterate, in other words they were incapable of reading and writing their own narae3. Should this great country of ours be ignorant and illiterate? In our own town of Granite City there is a large percent of illiterate people also. Steps are being taken in our various plants toward the education of these foreigners by part-time study, a certain time being taken from their daily routine of work to teach them the English language. Illiteracy is always dangerous. Bolshevism with all its terrors is the offspring of illiteracy and menaces not only Europe but our country as well. It would be very easy for a person that could speak the language of the foreigners to get among the people who do not read the newspapers and lecture to them in a forceful way by enlarging on their wrongs and their rights to the wealth of the world and inciting them to revolution. Like an evil weed which grows where nothing else will, a revolt is likely to spread quickly and uprisings in which blood would be shed and lives be lost, is the probable out- come. It would be the innocent people that would suffer because of their ignorance, because of their inability to read the newspapers and get the straight” of the whole thing. In Russia Bolshevists have gotten the upper hand and are ruling the people in terror. The Russian peasants are just barely existing. There is no education at all. with the exception of the noble classes who have a fair education. Do we want such conditions in our old U. S. A.? If not we must take steps toward the education of the illiterate foreigners and prevent the possibility of such a plague as Russia has. Part time study is one way of preventing conditions such as exist in Russia. The children of these foreigners are at- tending our public schools and being educated fairly well. But it is the parents of these children that we must try to educate also. We have a night school in our city where classes in English are formed for the teaching of foreigners. But the aver- age foreigner, who goes to his work early in the morning and does a hard day ' s work does not feel like going to school at night after he is all tired out. So this part-time study in the various plants is the only way by which we can educate these men and this system is very effective and should be furthered in this community. As a whole, the people are investigating the matter and are rising to the occasion thruout the country, by appropriat- ing funds for education. In the recent election held here, the “Hicks Bill” was carried by a great majority whereby the per cent of taxe3 for educational purposes was increased from three to four per cent. Another bill which is being worked upon in this state is the Minimum Wage” Bill, which would make the minimum wage of a school teacher $80.00 per Page Seventeen month. As you all know the teachers of our city have formed a union and have been admitted into the American Fed- eration of Teachers. Now. if this bill passes it will be very easy to eliminate the poor teacher. A teacher who receives a very low wage cannot really be qualified for a position. With this new wage scale a teacher will have to fulfill all re- quirements before being given a position. The eliminating of the poor teacher will greatly increase the efficiency of the schools and raise the standard of education a great deal. Another bill that is before the national Senate at this time provides for the increasing from $4,000,000 the present amount of money for education to $10,000,000. which would make It possible for schools to better themselves in equip- ment of all kinds. In Illinois there is one great missing factor which makes it difficult to have unified education thruout the state, and that is the matter of text books. Thruout the state the parents of the children must buy all text books used by their children. There is the question of free text books coming up thruout the state. If free texts were furnished bv the state, in all probabilities there would be one standard thruout. which would make it possible for unified education. In Missouri free text books are furnished and it is a great advantage. h ree text books would make it possible for the poor people to educate their children to a higher degree. Many families in our city take their children out of school at an early age and start them to work In the factories, because they cannot afford to pay for the text books which are very high, altho now the price is regulated bv law. Now if free text books were furnished it is very probable that these same people would keep their children in school much longer rath- er than see them go to work. This brings up another problem and that is the keeping of children in school until they are sixteen. In this city the factories make it very easy for a child of thirteen or fourteen to get a job” at a fair wage and rather than go to school he takes this job and nine chances of ten he stays right there and his education goes no farther. Of course, there are ex- ceptions but this is generally the case. All children ought to at least finish the eight grades, in fact, go two years in High School or elsewhere. In this district there are quite a number of students attending our High School that live out in the rural districts and have to pay a certain fee annually. There is a plan being worked upon by which our schools would become a township high school. This would greatly increase our district and make it possible for students to come in from the country at a low cost, while also lowering the city tax. Everywhere one hears of our crowded condition but it is impossible to realize how crowded we really are unless you have seen all the students packed in this auditorium some morning before sessions begin. We have 300 students attending here and only 240seats in which to accommodate them. For the last three years a great majority of our students have had to sit two in a seat, and certainly such condit ions are not conducive to the best re- sults. Next term your students will be more crowded than ever before. A census of the eighth grade shows there will be approximately 400 students attending High School. Now. in order to admit all these students it will be necessary to run two shifts. The first will be from 7:45 until 12:30, composed of upper classmen and the next shift will be from 1 p. m. to 5:30 o clock in the afternoon. This will make it necessary to employ more teachers and the student will have to get Page Eighteen all his work outside of school hours. Now the big question is. “What can be done to relieve the situation? One way to relieve it would be to build a Junior High School, or to transform this building into a Junior High School and build a new High School. This, of cou rse, takes money but it is absolutely necessary. A Junior High School would aid the situation in several ways. First, it would accommodate all the students of the seventh and eighth grades and the first year of High School, relieving pressure on the grade buildings as well. Secondly, it would probably solve the problem of Freshmen failures. Now if we had a Junior High School the students would be- come acquainted with the system of study in that school so that by the time they reached High School they would be thoroughly familiar with its workings and so less apt to fail Junior High Schools have proven successful wherever they have been established. In St. Louis they have their Junior High and it is very successful and 1 believe if such a school were built here it could never be built too large, for a town of this size. Many people object to sending their children to High School on the ground that we are too crowded to ac- complish good work, so you see that the problems of education are becoming greater every day. There is one more factor which in my opinion is very great and that is the Kindergarten. In St. Louis it has proven greatly successful, for it gives the small child a year of preliminary training before starting out on actual school work. In this city a child starts school at six years of age. Why not lower the age limit and give him a year of preliminary training? In Kindergarten the child learns the first principle of order. In many of our schools the child receives only a half day of schooling. Now isn ' t this wasted time? With the Kindergarten we would gain in the long run. for after starting school the child could settle right down to school work without wasting time on these preliminaries. Now. people of Granite City, we have tried to put before you some of Granite City ' s educational problems as they ap- pear to the students in the schools. Do you feel that they need attention? Do you realize that these are your problems wheth- er you have children in your home or not? Your problems because Granite City is your city and a part of the great coun- try which depends on the education of the masses for its security and prosperity? 1 leave for you to consider. ERNEST VEIHL, Valedictorian. Russell Moore: “He doesn ' t let study interfere with his good time.’’ Page Nineteen KIH TATION ANI RECONSTRUCTION. (Condensed). Tonight we meet together for the last time as a class. This evening we have reached the crest of the foot-hills. We have encountered many obstacles in our upward climb and now at the top of these hills we again see confronting us diffi- culties far greater than before. The problems of today are difficult ones indeed. Right now we have the problems of reconstruction which are divided into two classes, foreign and domestic. France. Belgium and Armenia and all the war-stricken territories devastated by the Huns must be rebuilt. Rebuilding not only means the rebuilding of the beautiful palaces and buildings which were erected thru generations of unremitting toil but also the establishment of self-government and all that it stands for. We must show them the real meaning of self-government in order to develop their resources and raise their ideals and standards of living. This great task will depend largely upon the t ' nited States. boremost, among our domestic problems, we must consider the returning soldier. He has sacrificed everything just to save his country. Give him back his job. If he had no job when he left find him one now. He was ready to do anything, to give his time, his life, his all. Can we do less than find him employment? Another large problem at present, is the distribution of food, but underlying all these problems are the educational conditions. The actual necessity for a betterment of educational facilities in the Cnited States was not felt until the recent war A large per cent of the men were found to be illiterate when the great drafts took place and with the reconstruction work under way the value of education is becoming greater every day. We have reached the point where skilled labor and education are practically essential. Thus, vocational guidance demands its place in the educational system. It enables men and women to take as their life’s work that occupation for which they are best fitted. Lack of efficiency is another great problem in our educational institutions, highest efficiency but in order to obtain such trained men they must receive a in study and preparation. These institutions demand men of the salary in comparison to the years spent The basis of reconstruction, therefore, lies in the schools, for the demand of today is for college-trained men and wom- en. Thus the higher the efficiency of the schools the higher will be the standard of skilled labor and statesmanship. o secure efficiency in this matter of food-distribution, we must have managers of ability, intelligence and thoro pre- paration. Another question is that of reforestration. Ships, aeroplanes, and other war materials have made heavy demands upon our rapidly diminishing supply of timber and here again there is a call for experienced men of ability to take over the work in hand. Edward Moschell: “The world knows nothing of its greatest men.” Page Twenty Another vital point is the reclamation of desert lands which will supply not only food for thousands but also labor for the unemployed. We have wonderful opportunities for such projects but this work requires educated men of char- acter and clean politics. During this reconstruction period there will be unlimited opportunity for graft and we must edu- cate our voting population up to the point where they will be able to overcome this menace to society which leads directly on to Bolshevism. We the men and women of today, the citizens of tomorrow, must arise to the situation and defend ourselves with the armor of knowledge. We must have knowledge, for knowledge Is power; we must have honor, faith, truth and brotherly love, for they are the arms invincible, and with these, the spirit to go forth, whatever the cost, we must win for the world the battle of truth against error, of government against anarchy and of right against wrong.

The first thing I want to show you, is how a League of Nations would help the world. I will begin by drawing a picture of a battle field “over there.” The boys are standing knee deep in mud and water, their clothes, hands and faces are covered with blood and grime of the battle field, shrapnel is bursting overhead and spreading its death dealing havoc in the trenches, bullets shriek over- head, and now and then find their mark. Now and then can be heard the tattoo of a machine gun mingled with the groans of the wounded and dying, the smoke of battle clears away for a few seconds and the bodies of the dead and dying can be seen lying out there in that great no mans land. Maybe one of those poor fellows lying out there is your father or your brother, or your sweetheart. This is just what the League of Nations wants to prevent, instead of having to make the manhood of the country lay down their lives, for their country, as a sacrifice to the god of War, the league would have a board of arbitration settle all disputes and yet hold up the honor of the countries involved. This board would be appointed by the nations of the League, and all investigations made by them would be reported to the different nations by means of the press. Never before in the history of the world has there been a better co-operation between the great nations of the world than there is now, all the big nations are now bound together in that great brotherhood of mankind, for the purpose of free- ing the world from the clutches of that barbarian known as War. Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot, now is the time to weld together this great divided world into one of united peace and happiness. The Monroe Doctrine of the United States, which has been the foundation of the opposers of the League, is safe, England stands behind us as do most of the Allies, in saying that we shall have the Rights, set forth in the Monroe Doc- trine, safe and sound. The opposers of the League go still further, and say, there must be no entangling alliances, but that the U. S. must remain aloft as she hitherto has done. Those people desire for us to go on until the end of time, using butchery and throat cutting to settle all our disputes. Some of our radical senators proposed that the treaty and the League of Nations constitution should be drawn up at Paris and then brought to the United States for ratification by the Senate. This plan is objectionable, first, because a League of at least the Allies must be established in the treaty in order to effect its enforcement, and the preservation of peace established. It is objectionable, in the second place, because it is entirely certain that an academic conference such Phyllis Nicodemus: “A little lively miss.! ' __ Page Twenty-three as the second would be if peace were possible without a League, would result in no agreement at all. The League is possible, only because it is indispensible. No one of the opposers of the League has yet offered a substitute for it that can enforce peace. They never seem to think of that problem, all that opposers think of. is to let us go on in the same old rut. year in and year out. never getting the chance to better ourselves, for it is not possible to advance in civilization when the coun- tries of the w r orld are always in a turmoil. Furthermore Labor, one of the big features of any nation today, demands a League of Nations which will give us everlasting Peace. Deep down in the soul of the sturdy sons of toil, there is not alone the passionate longing for a lasting peace among men. but the stern determination that as they fought this war to make the world safe for democracy, they are determined to fight to make the future safe against war.

The Situation of the play is as follows: According to an old English custom, an unmarried elder sister must wear green stockings at the wedding of a younger sister. Celia, the eldest of four sisters, has already worn them twice and to prevent her having to wear them again when Phyllis, her youngest sister marries, her family and friends plan to marry her off to Admiral Grice, who is quite aged. Celia learning of the plans informs them of her engagement an imaginary one. to a fictitious army officer — a Colonel Smith to whom she writes a love letter which, unfortunately, is sent. Eight months later Celia, not wishing to play the game any longer sends a notice of the death of Col. Smith to the London Times. The family is quite alarmed by the news of the death but are relieved by the heroic way in which Celia seems to accept it. Both Steele and Raleigh, two acquaintances who heretofore had thot Celia unworthy of their atten- tions, now are all devotion and sympathy. The real Col. Smith, home on a furlough, sees his own death notice in the London Times. Having received Celia ' s love letter eight months previous, he suspects her of being the inventor of his death notice, and. in the guise of Colonel Vavasour and posing as an old friend of Col. Smith ' s he calls on Celia. The situation becomes very trying for her so she plans for him to leave on the midnight train, but her plans are disarranged by her father ' s insisting upon Vavasour’s staying until morning. Celia now suspects that Vavasour is Col. Smith and plans to leave on the midnight train herself. After a great deal of confusion, and preparation she misses the train. However, she learns that Vavasour has fal- len in love with her. as has also Raleigh, so she does not have to wear green stockings a third time.

Ralph Frohardt, Viola Luckert A very good program was prepared by the committee and given on Washington ' s birthday, no programs were given by any of the societies on account of the flu” vacation. The second meeting was held Tuesday, March fifth, and on April thirtieth a James Whitcomb The previous semester Riley program was given. THE 1LLIOLIANS. At the first meeting of the Illiolian Society it was decided to retain the officers elected the preceding semester filling with new officers the vacancies caused by the mid-year graduation. ’ 8 Glynn Hodge the president, was the only officer remaining.

Li brarian Soon after school opened in September, the Glee Club again organized with an enrollment of 125. Under the capable direction of Miss Morgan The Crowning of the Gypsy Queen was given last year and it certainly was a “crowning” success. This year the annual opera will be The Egyptian Princess, and as we still have Miss Morgan ' s faithful guidance and with the largest enrollment ever known we can reasonably expect and hope for another huge success. The Glee Club has grown from a few members to what it now is and it certainly has done some big things since its organization. Moreover it is growing larger every year. THE CLASS OF Mi . At the beginning of the spring term the Class of ' 19 met and organized. The following officers were elected: President William Holst Vice-President Harry Hughes Secretary Kathleen Rader Treasurer Luella Deterding Our Class consisted of 34 members and we are proud to say that all these were able to finish their High School career together. At an early meeting it was decided to publish an annual but as we were hard pressed for time it was only possible to publish a Granois Petite. Our Class was very enthusiastic and every member helped in some way to accomplish its publication. THE JCMOK CLASS. The Juniors taking our example organized early and chose for its officers: Richard Reese President Sidney West Vice-President Emily Graff Secretary Roland Mueller Treasurer George Short: “When joy and duty clash, Let duty go to smash.” Page Thirty-one This year ' s class, not wanting to be outdone by the former Juniors, again decided to give their annual boat ride, tho it is a far more expensive and difficult proposition for a class undertaking than it has been heretofore On May 28th this longed for excursion will occur. The Steamer St. Paul is the best boat on the river and everv one agrees that this should be the best of all boat excursions. tor reasons unknown, the Freshmen and Sophomores did not organize. Anyway that is expecting a little too much trom such young children. We hope that their minds and bodies will have developed enough by next year, so that thev will be able to carry on an organization. MM I A L OCCASIONS. The Senior Girls entertained the Senior Boys at a party which was given March 21st. at eight o ' clock in the High School Gym. The entire class was present and also the two deans, together with several other teachers of the school who assisted in chaperoning the party. The evening was spent in playing games, for which several prizes were awarded. Several selections were rendered on the piano by different members of the class. Light refreshments were served at a late hour after which the class departed, having spent an exceedingly delightful social evening together— and still tasting that salad prepared by Miss McLellan. Another event of the season was the party given by Wanda McLellan for the members of the annual staff The hour for the party was set for seven-thirty and as our class is noted for promptness we were assembled at the stated time. Every one seemed to be in good spirits, and very agreeable to everything suggested. Games were played, but music seemed to be one of the best features of the evening. However Miss Rauch seemed to be with us in spirit as every one indulged in artistic physical culture, as we the Sen- ior ( lass need plenty of exercise to increase our dainty appetites. Pineapple sherbet, with chocolate and white cake, was served. The party adjourned at an early hour (in the morn- ing) and the ne xt day every one caine to school yawning ATHLETICS. Our Athletic Association was organized in 1906. for the purpose of accomplishing as much as possible in athletics Athletics, this year, was seriously interfered with by the closing of Granite High due to the Influenza Epidemic ' Af- ter the opening of school the interest in Basket-Ball grew and the Class Tournament was held in December The Tournament ended with the Sophomores holding first place, the Seniors second, the Freshmen third, and the Juniors ourth. From the tournament teams the regular squad was picked. Several of our former players had enlisted and our team was practically a new one and very light in weight. However, this new team showed a great deal of -pep” and the school was with them. Genevieve Turley: Life is joy to a cheerful mind.” Page Thirty-two Out of a squad of twenty men the following were selected to uphold the basket-ball honors of Granite High: Miller, G.; Francis, G.; Short. C.; Moore, F.; Reese, F. Shortly before the District Tournament. Captain Miller found it necessary to drop basket-ball because of his health. Tho we had lost one of our best men we were fortunate in getting Dumont Whitford, who had just returned from over- seas to play. He received the captaincy where he played guard for the rest of the season. As the season advanced the other men who were developed were: Schlecte, Sub. G.; Winters, Sub. F.; Winkler, Sub. F.; and Prawl, Sub. G. The work of the second team was excellent, and it is largely due to their efforts that the team was as successful as it was. Just before the District Tournament there was a little change made in the team lineup as follows: Whitford. G.; Francis, G.; Short, C.; Moore, F.; West, F. AT THE TOE RX AM EXT. After a hearty “pep meeting and with the cheers of the school ringing in their ears the team left for Centralia. Our first game was played against Vandalia, on Friday morning. February 27th. Vandalia had lost only one man of her regular team, but our team went “over the top” with a score of 29-7 neither of the opposing forwards scoring a point. Our next attack was against Centralia High, Saturday afternoon, March first. In this game we found that the “en- emy outclassed us in size and weight, tho we repulsed them by our hard playing. Sad to relate, however, we were ser- iously wounded in the third quarter when Captain Whitford was eliminated because of personals. Schlecte now took Whitford’s place and we started in to regain lost ground, but the whistle blew with the score 28-22 in favor of Centralia and we retired from the field of battle — for another year. Although we had lost the tournament, yet we had lost none of our “pep” and the team showed its good sportsman- ship by giving nine big “rahs” for Centralia. Considering the difficulties we had to overcome, there was never more “pep shown by the school and we hope the good work will be kept up. Even tho we did not win the District Tournament, it was a very successful season, one to be proud of. Ernest Veihl: “Begone dull care; you and I can never agree.” Page Thirty-three PEP. The PeP” ' of the High School was exceedingly great this year. Of course. Granite High always was noted for an over- supply of PEP but this year above all years the rooters let it out” Every local game gave way to an unusual out- burst of cheering and as the season advanced the interest in basket ball increased The trip to East St. Louis was enjoyed by almost every loyal rooter of Basket-Ball in G. H. S. The East St. Louis rooters were overwhelmed by our oceans of pep” and we copped” the victory with the aid of the boys’ wonderful fight- ing spirit. The other trips and even the tournament were represented by Freshies as well as upper-classmen. 1 he cheering was led by the illustrious Senior president Bill Holst and we trust that the future cheerleaders will be able to exert as much influence over the rooters as Bill did, for whenever he came upon the scene in his white suit con- trasted by his brilliant ruby top, well— they simply couldn’t resist.

Hodge: “Howard Hennely reminds me of a kerosine lamp.” Bill Holst: “How is that?” Glynn Hodge: “Because he goes out nights, smokes a little and needs regulation.” If ignorance were bliss, many of us would be so happy we’d choke. Page Forty Wanda Me.: “I know what it means but I can’t explain it.” Gates: O. well just tell us what it means.” To keep your reputation take a back seat. How do you know you are near the Chemical Lab. “Your nose knows.” Luella Deterding: Mae, I think your class is the best in the school.” Mae: “Sorry I can’t return the compliment.” Luella: You could if you told as big a lie as I did.
