Since then its story has been one of steady progress in industry and culture. Today Highland has economic and educa- tional opportunities of which few communities its size can hoast. The 1937 Iris commemorates the centennial anni- versary of Highland and reviews the progress of education in this community during the -past hundred years. ,iqnlt DEDICATIO - T11 t1111sc 11z11'11x' Swiss who, with 11111111111css 1:11111 111 the 1.111111 111 LJITIH11-1111111y, 1:1111 1110 111111111z1t11111s 111 11115 c1111111111111tx' 211111 to 1111 1vt111'1' 111111111-1'i11g' s11111s 111111 111211011 trails 111 171'Og'1'CSS 11111'i11g' thc 1111111111111 yours 111' its 11ist111'y, this scx'c11tcc11t11 1111111110 111' 1110 Iris is 1'L'S11Ct'11.l111f' 111-11i1'z1tc11.

These two men played an important part in the early development of Highland. The Koepfiis bought four hundred fifty acres of land in 1831 from an agent named Haugh. Their first home was the Gruetli farm, later owned by Frank Lorenz. Joseph Suppiger built a house on the lot where Mrs. Martin Huber's house now stands. Several gains: families came to this vicinity during 1833, among them Jacob Eggen and John a ner. In 1837 General James Semple, a member of the Illinois House of Representatives, who was interested in a proposed railroad from Alton to Mt. Carmel, proposed that .Ioseph Suppiger, Dr. Koepfli. and James Reynolds join with him to found the town which be- came Highland. The agreement stated that one hundred acres were to be platted in forty- flve blocks, each three hundred feet square, with the central block reserved for public purposes. After a public sale of lots was held in September, 1837, Joseph Suppiger be- gan to build a steam mill. A saw mill was conducted adjacent to the mill so the same power could be used for both. These two enterprises drew many people to this vicinity. Many settlers arrived after 1838. A wagon-maker named Kruker from St. Gallen, Switzerland, was one of the most welcome. Elijah E1liSOI1, WGSICY Dllggef, and David Thorp, all native Americans, started stores, and later a fourth was built on the corner ef Main and Laurel by Garrit Crownover. Thorp WHS Hi8l112U1d'S first postmaster. Sylvan lltlger installed a wood turner's lathe in the mill and began to make furniture and other needed articles. Jacob Eggen started a brickyard near town and, with a Mr. Labhard, a pottery as well. Eggen also founded a distillery and a bakery. The Durrer family who came in 1839 took over The Eagle Hotel begun by Anthony Buchmann on the site of the present Columbla. It was soon imperative to erect a school and the site chosen was Methodist Hill. The school was built in the spring of 1839 and was used as a general meeting place as well. An election was held there in August. But few of the Swiss immigrants had as yet been naturalized so many could not vote. The political disturbances in Europe were responsible for a large number of immi- grants coming to Highland in 1840 and 1841. Among them we find the names of many present-day Highland families. They were chiefly from Switzerland and settled in or near Highland. Most of them had little worldly wealth. The problem of housing these peo- ple was a difficult one but partly solved when the Suppiger brothers erected a large barn and let the immigrants stay there temporarily. In the same year the German Kuenne lKinnel family and their relatives came from Kentucky. In 1840 in August, fifty-four immigrants from Highland secured their naturalization Dapers in Edwardsville. The DOD- ulatlon of Highland seems to have been fifty ill 1839 but 009 hundred lwellly in 1341- The effects of the panic of 1837 were not felt in Highland until about this time. While money had practically disappeared, our immigrants managed to get along and the community prospered. During all these early years Dr, Keepfli continued to care for the medical needs of the community. He was the only doctor here until the arrival of his son from Switzer- land in 1839, and a Dr. Ryhiner who moved here from St. Louis in 1840. In 1840 Dr. Koepfli decided to return to Switzerland to publish his voluminous writings. Neither he nor his family was satisfied there and later they all returned to Highland. Koepfli's sons in 1843 built a fine residence north of town where Hugo Schmidt now lives. That same year Peter Tuffll and John Laubin ger opened the first meat shop and J. R. Blattner began building the New Switzerland House which was used fifty years. The site was later used by the late John Wildi for his home, now the Masonic Temple. In 1843 the National Post Road was extended from Vandalia through Highland to St. Louis. This road played no small part in Highlands growth. Some of the enterprises established in the next few decades deserve mention. John Guggenbuehler founded a brewery which later developed into the Highland Brewing Company. A Mr. Smiley start- ed a woolen mill, later converted into a yarn factory. There were several general stores, Liehler's furniture store, Buchter's lumber yard, Speckharts stove and hardware store, a planing mill, a machine shop, a tannery, a corn and grist mill, a hydraulic wine and cider press. In 1846 John Boeschenstein built a store opposite Crownover's. A bank was founded in 1854 by A. E. Bandelier, Dr. F. Ryhiner and Mr. Huegy but it failed in 1885. Other prominent men associated with this early period and not mentioned before ln- clude Professor Baer, who served as school principal: B. E. Hoffman, who was clerk of Madison County and did newspaper and literary work: Julius Hammer, a German music teacher and philosopher: A. E. Bandelier, a language scholar who began archaeological explorations for the Smithsonian Institute: Heinrich Bosshard, author of Sempacher- lied, the national hymn of the Swiss: Charles Seybt, an artist and pianist: Heinrich Willimann, who developed Highland's first band: Alois Bruger, owner of the first marble THE STORY OF l-IIGHLA D and monument business: Samuel Krebs, photographer and musician: Thomas Korrlnk, founder of a carriage factory: Selmar Pabst from Saxony, a stockholder in Kinne and Company, director of the First National Bank, and President of the Board of Education: Dr. Gallus Rutz, physician, teacher, editor, and postmaster. Highland has always been interested in music. The first orchestra was formed by Charles and Frederick Kinne, Edward Hammer, and Joseph, Melchior, David and John Suppiger in 1840. The first singing s0Ciety was formed in 1850 under the direction of Julius Hammer. In 1855 the grand singers' festival of the Western Saengerbund was held on Koepfii's hill, and in the next year the Highland singers won first place when the festival was held in St. l10lllS- The present Harmonie dates back to 1867. Several other early Organize-il0nS Should be n1enll0hed- A Literary or Library Association was organized December 9, 1859. LeCt11I'eS were given by eminent scholars. When the society dissolved in 1369. it Save H valuable collection of books to the Turnvereln, and later the books were given to the public school. The Helvetia Sharpshooters' Society was organized in 1860. Lindendale Park was donated by Joseph and Solomon Koepfii to the group. Many festivals have been held there- Highland is the cradle of organized sharpshooters in the United States. The Highland Gymnastic was built in 1869. It was well equipped A regular teacher was employed by the has waned. There were no churches in Highland schools. In 1845 the German Protestant the school the stone building on the site Society was organized in 1866. A Turner Hall for its time and the center of many gatherings. organization. In recent years, this organization for some time. Services were held in the first Congregation was organized and took over from of the present Evangelical Church. Another hllilfllng WHS e1'eCied in l373- It WHS remodeled in 1921 and 1935. The longest pastorate in the history of the church WRS that of Rev. C. E. Miche from 1916 to 1931. The present pastor is Rev. O. C. Bassler. The German Catholic Church was organized in 1843 and in 1846 a frame Church WHS C0n1DleIed- After the erection of a brick church in 1856, the old building was used as a school and iS now part of St. Paul's Hall. Father Marogna was the first priest who held regular services. A convent building housing a young ladies' seminary as well as an elementary school, was completed in 1866. The church group now has remodeled its church, built a new rectory in recent years, and maintains a twelve year school. St. Joseph's Catholic Hospital was built in 1879 and enlarged three times, the last in 1927. A German Methodist Church was organized in 1847. It lasted about sixty-five years. The Congregational Church grew out of a French church started by a Rev. Francis vuuiet, a political exile from Switzerland in 1848. The French Evan- gelical Church was built on Methodist Hill. In 1876 the group joined the Southern As- scciation of C0ng!'egational Churches. Another building was constructed in 1887 at the corner of Eighth and Washington. It was remodeled in 1917. A parsonage was built south of the church. About 1930 it was replaced with a modern home. Now a new church is being constructed under the pastorate gf Rev, Wm, Steele, The fiI'St heWSD21De1'S in Highland were German. Der Highland Bote was published by Stradtinann and Karlen beginning 18 58. C. H. Seybt edited Die Union in 1863. Dr. Gallus Rutz later took over this paper and it became the Highland Union. John Hoerner edited the paper many years. The first English paper was the Highland Herald, estab- lished by business men in 1881. The Highland Leader was published after 1900 by Mr. Kurz at the Union office. The News was started by Drum and Hoffman. In 1913 A. P. Spencer bought the Leader and later the News. Today he and Edgar Hoffman edit the combined News Leader. The Highland Journal began in 1893. It has been edited by Weiss, Weiss and Utlger, John Stokes, and Vernon Ittner since 1933. Highland was incorporated as a village in 1865 and Jacob Eggen was first president of the village board. In 1867 the town voted a sum of money to get the railroad from Vandalia through Highland. The road was completed in 1868 and eight years later the debt was paid. Highland became a city in 1884 with Fred Suppiger as first mayor. The city has been economical but progressive. It was one of the first towns in the county t0 have electric lights. Since 1901 the plant has been owned by the city. A city hall was built in 1884. The town has its waterworks, its sewage disposal plant, In 1928-29 all the streets were paved. Many industries established in Highlands first fifty years have now disappeared, but others have taken their places, One of the most outstanding is the Helvetia Milk Con- densing Company established in 1885, Under the presidency of Louis Latzer this company expanded into a big organization, In 1921 the offices were moved to St. Louis. The small brewery started by John Guggenbuehler passed eventually into the hands of Martin Schott under whom it made remarkable development. It was incorporated HS lhe High' land Brewing Company in 1884, Mr, Schott's sons carried on the business after his death. Prohibition closed the plant, but in 1933 under the name of the Schott Brewing Company it was reopened. The Highland Embroidery Works was founded in 1881 by John Rush but it was soon taken over by J. J. Spindler Sr. and others. Its products ranked very high and were known all over the nation. About 1930 the plant closed but it has opened recent- ly on a small scale. The Wicks Pipe Organ Company started in 1908.

It is ot' interest to note tl1at our present Board is comp-osed of one banker. one doctor, one dentist, ,and four others engaged in business, This is fairly representative of many Boards of the past and accounts for the t'act that our school has always been run efficiently. Few communities are so 1'ortunate as to have a Board which is professional in its dealings with both faculty and community. Une task ol' the Board ill early times seems to have been to sell the idea ot' a public school education to the community. Many people were content to have their children taught privately in the early days, and tl1e .xinerican idea of a common school education for all was slow i11 taking root, Later. the Board n111st have had trouble in justifying the establish- ment ot' a high school, for the secondary branch was established late and git-w to a t'o11r-year school very slowly. As late ,as 1900 the Germanic lllfillt'llt't' was still strong and there was much emphasis on German in- struction. Une problem i11 the last two decades has been to Americanize the instruction Ellld provide a broader and 111ore modern ctirriculum. The HtHll'ti may take pride in the fact that o11r school now has an excellent t'lll'I'iC'llllllll t'or a town of this size. The seniors ot' 1937 wish to voice their appreciation to the Board for the excellent educatioizal opportunities provided for them during their years i11 the Highland Public Schools. SUPERI TE DE P. L. Ewing Highlands first public school principal was A. G. Doyle who served in 1837. Other early principals were John Baer, William Florin, Adolph Suppiger, Theodore Adelmann, W. A. Stille Ph. D., W. M. Valentin, and O. F. Weber. The name of C. L. Dietz, however, is the most closely assoclatcd with the early development of education in High- land. Mr. Dietz became principal and eighth grade teacher in 1886 after serving one year each in grades three and seven. He acted as superintendent and high school teacher from 1894 to 190-1 and from 1919 to 1927 .Though not college-bred, Mr. Dietz was an alert school man and a capable administra- tor. A strict disciplinarian, he inspired the best in his pupils. Three generations of Highland children grew up under the influence of this well-read, deep-thinking, cultured gentleman. Another name which will be written large in the story ot' Highlands educational development is that of our present superintendent, Parmer L. Ewing. Under his administration our curriculum has been lIl0d6l'lliZ9d, the standards of our teachers raised, our high school made a member of the North Central Association, our present junior high system organized, and our new school planned, built, and put in smooth running order. To Mr. Ewing and to Mr. White, our principal, the seniors of 1937 express gratitude t'or careful guidance during our four years in high school. J. J.

German, Jr, High English FACULTY 'l'he growth ot' the faculty of the Highland Public School is representative ot' the development ot' education in the community. Prior to 1850, hecause most children were taught privately, only one public school teacher was einployt--1. Miss icllllij' Thorpe held this position front 1817 to 1850. ln 1854 a second teacher was added, and as the nunihet' of pupils grew the faculty increased. Records show that in 1879 there were eight teach- ers, one for each grade ot' elementary work, the eighth grade teacher acting as principal. ln 1893! a high school was started and by 1999, when a three-year high school course was otfered, the teaching staff numbered twelve. ln 1999 a four year high school was formed, and fourteen teachers were employed, l'Olll' i11 high school work. At the time the high school inoved into its annex in 1913. teachers of music and physical education were hired for part-time work. Sin ce then the addition ot' instrumental music, agriculture. home economics, and industrial arts has added other teachers until 110w twenty-two nantes are on the roll. Our staff acts as one unit although for certain administrative functions the teachers are placed in grade and high school groups. Several teachers, as the list shows, serve both in the grade school and in the high school. Group meetings usually include all faculty niein- hers. Our faculty is very well-trained for a school of this size. Cooperation between the various departments of the school is excellent. After the faculty picture was taken, Mr. Simerl resigned and his place was taken hy Mr. Harold Hoinann, wh 1 came to us from Greenville in lfebinary, Mr. Charles llintehnann, a teacher in the junior high, also joined us in February.

Kenlpff SPONSORS-Miss Foster, Mr, White, Mr. Ewing MOTTO- To the Stars and Bars At the beginning of the school year in i933, the enthusiastic, ambitious senior class of today began its school lif'e as any fresh- men class would, with a feeling of awe and restriction at entering the highly sacred realms of high school. However, we soon became acquainted with the upper classmen, whom we had always looked upon as being the ideals and examples of our future school days, and, having been made to feel at home, we set out to make a name for ourselves. The forty-four members of that freshmen class elected as their class officers Dorothy Ellen Draper, Presidentg Clinton Rogier, Vice President: and Floyd Gall, Secretary- Treasurer. Our class sponsor was Mr. Gen- ther, then the agriculture teacher. With a determined vigor our class set out to do things. During our first year we sponsored three social events which were quite enthusi- astically promoted and received by the school. The first was a hike to Klaus's Lake and a wiener roast there which afforded us a chance to become better acquainted with one another. The second event was a Christ- mas party given for the entire school. As our first attempt at a school party, this one was fairly successful and gave promise of hetter ones to come. The third event pro- moted by our class in its freshmen year was ai party that included freshmen only. Our freshmen year as a whole proved very happy to us, but it was marred by one sad event, the death of our Secretary-Trea- surer, Floyd Gall. Floyd was a newcomer to our school, but he quickly gained many t'riends. His popularity made the shock of ASSOF I93 SEC R ETA ll Y-Clyde Isert TREASVIIE R-Blanche Paul COLORS-Blue and Gold FLOXVEH-Orcllid Through Bolts his death all the greater to his high school friends. .Iohn Zobrist filled his position as Secretary-Treasurer until the end of the school year. Entering into our sophomore year of school, we contributed an important share to the last year of school life in the old school building. This year there were thirty-nine members in the class, and the following, of- ficers were elected: Marion Alch, President: Clyde lsert, Vice President: and Dorothy Ellen Draper, Secretary-Treasurer. Our sponsors this year were Mins VVenger and Mr. Simerl, Our all-high school Hallowe'en party afforded an evening of great enjoyment for all. We also provided a very interesting featurde at the school carnival for the ben- efit of the Boys' Athletic Association. It was known as the Big Broadcast. Our class representative, Dorothy Ellen Draper, had the honor of being elected Queen of this car- nival. We regarded with pride our history as sophomores, but we looked forward with increased expectation to our life in the new, modern-equipped school we have today. Death struck again, however, and marred the pleasure of our class by taking from us an- other of our classmates, Wilbur LeDuc. Wil- bur was an active worker in the activities of the school. He was a member of the F. F. A. and the Glee Club, and always proved ready to assist in any way. l'pon entering into our junior year of school, we found ourselves with great advan- tages at our disposal, fine opportunities to advance further our work as a class. Every student upon starting school in our new building must have had a feeling of starting Tl-IE IDR .llRAI'I'IR liI.ElSl'H FUNRAII ROGIER ZI3IDlI'IRM.'INN IKEINII.-IR'l' FIA DI' Il 'I'.-IIIOII 'Il2lllll1' lligll Sm-houl 'ZH 'IIB '2lli, F.

But after settling down to the new surroundings we juniors again accomplished a great deal. Although only twenty-seven members 1'eturned, those who did come back to school were very ac- tive. Officers elected were Marion Alch, President: L. .I. Kempff, Vice President: Grace Zobrist, Secretary: and Clyde lsert, Treasurer, Our sponsor was Mr. Kiburz, who taught science that year in the absence of Mr. VVhite. As students grow up and progress through high school, they take more activi- ties upon their shoulders and assume more leadership. We juniors used the opportuni- ties of the new school building to great ad- vantage as is seen by our activities during this third year, The first thing that we did was to sponsor a Christmas candy sale. The girls of the foods class made the candy and members of our class sold it. We sponsored an assembly program which was a mock Major Bowes Amateur Hour. All the ambi- tious amateurs of the high school partici- pated, and much unusual talent was discov- ered. Too bad that the Major himself could not have been there! After all the basket- ball tournaments were over, we spons01'ed a Leap Year-St. Patrick's Day party. This proved to be quite a novelty, for the girls in- vited the boys to the party, asked for the dances, and also, incidentally, bought the refreshments! This party was a very suc- cessful innovation to the school in the line of parties. As Leap Year comes only once every four years, our class was lucky to have the opportunity to introduce this style of party. The next important event of our junior year was the class play. With the help of Mr. Yates, our class put on the first play in the huge gymnasium of our new school. The play was entitled The Millionaire, a Long- F I93 mans Green play in which George Arliss starred some years ago. The financial and productive success of the play were equally successful. The cast was ably handled by Mr. Yates and proved its worth in the per- formance. As a class we are proud to have had the opportunity to produce the first play in the new school. The last, biggest, and most important event of our junior year was the junior-senior banquet, We solved the big problem of decorating and equipping the large gymnasium efficiently. The theme of the banquet was an old southern mansion, and all that goes with the thought was found at our banquet, including the fried chicken, a southern moon, and good old southern hospitality. With the completion of our ban- quet and the end of the school year, we were reminded that we had only one more year to remain in the realms of high school, to enjoy our-selves, and at the same time to accom- plish good. This, our last year, closes the activities and history of the senior class of 1937. Our class was enlarged by five students from Marine: Leona Becker, Virginia Uonrad, Irma Grotefendt, Ardith Middleton, and Floyd Tabor, and four from Alhambra: Milburn Bishop, Lynn Dauderman, Virgil Klaus and Inez Wetzel. We chose Marion Alch, L. J. Kempff, Clyde 1-sert and Blanche Paul for our officers: and Miss Foster, Mr. White, and Mr. Ewing were our sponsors. A fair percentage of our class has par- ticipated this year in the numerous activities of the school. We did not take over the organization of the Student Council because not enough interest in it was shown by the -students as a whole. However, twelve of our members helped the Glee Clubs win honors in April, and Blanche Paul acted as their pianist. Three of our boys, Robert Kleiner, TI-IE SE IDR YURI z lslcvlilfzli 4:ll,ul':N s1'lll'lf:l'ls.-U' ISISIIOI' Al.xNu'.xklNu AIHFITH NlIlIlll,l1I'I'0N LEXYIS Y0lil'Z l4'mntlmll TH. l-'. lf, .X.

CLASS Clinton llogier. and Clyde Isert, helped till in the thin ranks of the football squad: and tour made the basketball squad. Of these Milburn Bishop and Clinton Rogier played with the first team. The G. A. A. next year will miss the presence of Mary Lou, June, llorothy Ellen, lone, and lluth Federer. Three of our lzoys played with the band to the end of the year: Glenn Hartlieb, Ken- neth Sicver, and Thomas Winter. Two of our boys are charter members of the new Hi-Y organization, They are Marion Alch and Clinton Rogier, Besides we have four 'Fhespian members, four German Club 1nen1- hers, seven in the F. F. A., two in the Home lilconomics Club, and tive on the Reflector Staff. As a whole, we believe this is a fair representation. if not an excellent one. As we look back upon our senior year, we do not feel that our efforts have been futile, but we wish we could have done much more and hope our successes and failures will guide other classes to come. However, we did sponsor another interesting party, perhaps the best of all our attempts. This was a Kid Party. It was quite a lot of fun to dress like a kid and act like a kid again for one evening, and everyone seemed to en- joy it. Also another line play was given in a satisfactory manner on November 20 by our class with the help of Mr. Yates. This play was lt Won't Be Long Now, a very suc- cessful comedy. With the talent in our class, the line coaching of Mr. Yates, and the use of a good, light comedy, we produced a play that was said by many people to be one of the best produced for some time. ln April a home-made doughnut .sale was pro- moted by our class. Through the culinary genius of Miss Drew and the members of the food class and also the help of other faculty members, dozens of doughnuts were made and delivered to people all over Highland. Perhaps our hardest task this year was the publication of our yearbook. All the duties connected with this undertaking we1'c F193 assumed by thc Staff, and to them the class is deeply grateful. We hope our annual will be well received by the community as a whole and that it will keep the name of our class alive long after we leave Highland High. One of our members, lnez Wetzel, par- ticipated in the vocal music contest held April 17 at Staunton, lnez's solo ranked in second group and we are very proud of her. The juniors entertained us on May 14 at the annual junior-senior banquet which was held in our gymnasium. Since we know from experience how much work the staging of this banquet takes, we feel deeply grateful lo the juniors who entertained ns in a most delightful manner. ln May we gave our Class Day exercises before the entire high school. For the first time we appeared as the graduating class of 15137 and realized that our high school days were almost over. We are deeply honored that our gradu- ation exercises may be a part of the school's l'-'lClJl'blll0Il ot the Highland Centennial and the formal dedication of our school. We hope to cantribute nobly to the enterprise. So now, wishing that there were more opportunities to do worth while things in our hlgh school days, we close the history of the senior class of 1937. Though we feel that we have accomplished something in our school days, we know the1'e is much to do after our school days are over. lt is up to us now to utilize our knowledge ami carry on from the beginning which has been given us through our schooling. Although we feel sadness ill parting from our school, we realize that this parting is only the beginning of an- other great adventure to come, greater even than the adventure of our high school life. Would that the future might bring as much to us as the richness of happy high school days has brought!

We selected Quentin Nungesser. President: Wilma Earn- hart, Vice President, and Betty Leutwiler, Secretary-Treasurer. Our spon- sors were Miss Foster and Mr. Yates. VVe gave an indoor class party and later an all-school party. Only forty-tive members of our class returned the next fall. Our officer-4 were liinily Messerli, President: llobert Koch, Vice President: and Edna lflssenpreis, Secretary-Treasurer. Our sponsor was Miss Suess. On May I, 11936, we presented an assembly program of nursery rhymes and songs. This year we numbered thirty-seven. but three of our members, Mil- ton His-ser. Bernice Hoerle, and Genevieve Snyder did not finish the year with us. On October 30, H336 we sponsored a l-Iallowe'en box social. The hoys bid for the boxes after seeing the silhouettes of the girls who brought them. After we had eaten, everyone went to the gym to dance or play card games. Later in the evening a ghost story was told by Mr. Yates. The singing of our school song ended the gay event. In February we pre- sented a play entitled Dusty Road for an assembly program. On April H, we presented our class play, entitled Campus Quaran? tiue. lt was a huge success in every way, thanks to Mr. Yates and the cast, Our most ambitious effort this year was the annual junior-senior banquet. held on the evening of May 1. The May Day theme proved to be very succ-esstul. and we feel that our tribute to the seniors equals any ot' recent years. We look forward to our senior year with high ambitions, but we begin to realize that our high school days are now numbered. SOPI-IOIVIORES l'RlCSlDENT 1 Richard Siegrist SECRETARY - Lillian Michael VIUE PRESIDENT - Marjorie Moser THEASFRER - Gene Schott SPONSORS - Miss Suess and Mr. Hohner Our class, the first to begin its high school life in the new building, numbered titty-four. Our officers were Gene Schott, President: Gerald Suppiger, Vice President: Orba Trolliet, Secretary, and .lohn Ammann, Treasurer. VVe were a serious class and engaged actively in all school affairs. We also had an excellent scholastic record. Only forty-two of our members returned in September, 1936. How- ever our class again engaged prominently in the school activities. Five members were on the first team in basketball, and we were very proud of the fine showing they made, Five boys went out for football. and six girls in the G. A. A. Fourteen sophomores were in the Glee Club, which also made us proud. The sophomores were largely represented in the Hi-Y, ltilie Club, Home tflconomics Club, and the F. F. A. On February 19, 1937, our class gave an assembly program. A girls' quartet sang Ail's Fair in Love and War, the sophomore girls in the Glee Club sang two songs, a playlet entitlerl Red Riding Hood was pre- sented, and Faith Bircher gave a reading. Robert Brockmeier played a clarinet solo in the district contest, and was entitled to go to the state contest. Rena Shimer sang a vocal solo at the district contest also, but did not receive a high enough rating to go to the state contest. On April 23, 1937, the sophomores gave a wiener roast out in the park for the high school. After everyone had plenty to eat, the remainder of the evening was enjoyed by playing games.

Six of our girls be- long to the G. A. A. Aleen Huth served as our representative on the Reflector Staff. Several of our class belong to the band, German Club, Home Economics Club, and Future Farmers of America. We feel that we are supporting all the school organizations, and our scholarship has been exceptionally good for a freshman class. On February 12, we gave a Valentine Party in the cafeteria after the basketball game with Lebanon. All kinds of games were played from flee to bingo, and refreshments were for sale. Many congratulated us for giving the most successful school party of the year. The freshmen edited the first class issue of the Reflector. .X elass hike in May brought the freshmen activities to a close for the year. Smith UNIOR I-IIGI-I The curriculum of the junior high school, comprising grades six, seven, and eight, centers around the four core subjects: namely, English, social studies, science, and mathematics. Miss Lillian Wenger, grade school principal, Miss Stocker, Miss Wildi, and Mr. Dintelman have home rooms in this department. In the home room groups drawing, penman- ship, music, and physical education are taught: but the core subjects are departmental. Miss 'Wenger teaches social studies to all junior high groups: Mr. Davis, science: Miss Wildi, English, and Miss Stocker, mathematics. As in the lower grades too, physical education for girls and boys is handled by Miss Welch and Mr. Davis, vocal music by Miss Peterson, and instrumental music by Mr. Hoover. This arrangement is especially helpful in preparing the student for the completely depart- mentalized work of high school while continuing the home room system of the lower grades. ln junior high, study for appreciation and pupil initiative are stressed.

In the kindergarten the child acquires varied experiences which are necessary as a foundation t'or all learning. The adjustment from home to school life must be made in the kindergarten and lirst grade. Here he acquires his tirst habits which influence all his later schooling. Most of the learning' in these three grades is built around experiences by which the child builds his foundation in reading, spelling, and number facts, the tool subjects he needs for all learning. Besides, language, nature study, penmanship, drawing, music, and physical training broaden his understanding and introduee him to the arts. RUAA' T: R. lim-Im, ll. lln-11.2, ll.

Only live ot' the boys had had any experience last year, and so it was necessary to make up over half of the iirst team with inexperienced boys. As the season got under way several boys dropped out, and this handi- capped the team very much. A coach trains his team with difficulty when there aren't enough boys to scrimmage in practice. The squad was composed ot three seniors, five juniors, four sopho- mores. and eight freshmen. The fact that a good number of freshmen were out shows the promise of a stronger team in the future. The usual starting lineup was Clayton, center: XVehrle and Kleiner, guards: Rogier ami Beichel. tackles: M. Siegrist and W. Steiner, ends. The backfield was composed of R, Siegrist, quarterback: Alldridge and Lebegue. halvesg and Kuhn, fullback. W. Steiner and M. Siegrist, ends, were both newcomers to the squad. Steiner. a freshman, is quite tall and should develop into a good end. M. Siegrist, although not so tall as Steiner, played a hard fought game. Heichel, a tackle, is a well-built player and should profit the team in his last two years in high school. The other tackle, Rogier, was also a newcomer to the team. He played a good game for an inexperienced player. Tl1e guards were played by Kleiner and Wehrle. Kleiner. a senior, has had more experience than any other player on the team: and, although he is not very large, he proved to be a valuable asset. Wehrle. a fresh- man, is a well built boy and should grow into a good player. Clayton, center, is a hard tighter and will be a greater help to the team in the future. The backiield, composed of lt. Siegrist, Lebegue, Alldridfle, and Kuhn. was also handicapped because of inexperience. Kuhn aint Lebegue had seen one year of playing before, but the others were newcomers to the squad. Most ot' the ball handling was done by Kuhn, who will develop into a very good backiieldman. Captain Kuhn can run. and is a good passer and punter. ' The boys played two games with the Granite City second team at Granite Uity. The first game, played October 3, we lost ti-ll, and the second, October 17, we lost 32-0. RUNV It: Km-li, M.

BASKETBALL At the opening of the season, thirty boys responded to Coach Davis' call for basketball players, but by the end of the season the squad had dwindled to eighteen. lneiigibility was the chief reason for the losses. Kuhn was captain of the varsity team this year. Kuhn, Bishop, Alldridge, Lory, and Earl Lebeaue usually started the games, ltogier and Thiems did most of the substituting, Alldridge, at center, was a sure shot under the basket.: but, since most centers were taller than he, he had a hard position to fill. Bishop and Lory, forwards, were both fa-at and they made an opponent work hard to stay with them. They were good shooters and t1'ied hard at all times. Captain Kuhn and Lebegue, guards, were both sophomores and have a good future ahead of them in liaskethall. They always did their best, to keep the opponents from scor- ing. Rogier, substitute forward, did not play much but he always did his bust to help the team. Thiems, substitute guard, is the tallest boy on the team, and with more practice he will hold a regular position on next year's squad. Since Bishop and Rogier are the only seniors on this year's team, Highland will have five experienced men back next year. ln the 19226-1937 season, the team won one-fourth of its games, while halt' of the others were lost by three points or less. These facts all point to a suc- cessful season next year. Highland took part in two tournaments this year. One was an in- vitation tonrnament held at Pocahontas. Panama, Mulberry Grove, Po- cahontas, and Highland participated. ln our first game we were beaten hy Panama 35-30, and in the second by Pocahontas 31-ll. VVe also played in the Regional Tournament at Greenville. Our opponent in our tirst game was Greenville, to whom we lost 30-13. XVIR: J.

Sll'lIll'l' BASKETB LL For several years our team has attended the state tournament, held at t'han1paign. The experience is both educational and inspirational in that it gives the boys an idea of what playing in the state tournament, the ambition of every high sehool team, is like. lnte-rest in basketball was greatly inereased this year by selling an an-tivlty tivket to members ot' the student body and faculty. 14221011 holder ot' an at-tivity ticket was entitled to come to all basketball games exeept tournaments, to eoncerts of the glee elubs and band, to the senior and junior plays, and to receive an lris. The tickets were purchased by pay- ing ten vents a week until the priee of 253.25 was paid, or the student might pay a lump sum. Over one hundred students purehased activity tickets, and undoubtedly the plan caused attendance at the basketball games to improve. The team likewise had the support of many loyal fans in the eommunity. The basketball se DATE Nor. 13 Nov. 25 Dee. 4 Dec. 11 Dec. 15 Dee. 13 Dee. 23 liec. 510 .Ian. S .lan.

AVIS Mr. llavis is one of the busiest members of the faculty. Besides serving as coach for all high school athletics, he teaches science to all junior high students and directs the physical education program for boys in both grades and high school. The last two years he has also taken an active in- terest in the visual education program of the school. These numerous duties Mr. Davis performs in a calm but capable manner. As coach. he is heartily admired by all the student body. In spite of the fact that his teams have not won a large percentage of their games in the last few years, much credit is due Mr. Davis for his ceaseless efforts to encourage interest in athletics in Highland High. RIFLE CLUB Shortly after Christmas a meeting of all boys interested in rifle shooting was held under the supervision of Mr. White. Later a constitution was framed for the Highland High School Junior Rifle Club, and the club became the junior division of the Highland Pistol and Rifle Club. Mr. White was made faculty instructorg and Mr. Malcolm Herbst, an ex- perienced member oi the Pistol Club, became the instructor and representative of the senior club. The boys are allowed to u-'se the rifle range and building of the senior club. A later meeting determined that the club should belong to the National Rifle Associa- tion, the largest association of shooters in the United States. John Ammann was elected President and Charles Haldi, Secretary-Treasurer, The aims of the club are to promote better marksmanship, encourage safety in the handling of guns, and promote better sportsmanship. The members receive excellent prac- tice in rifle shooting under Mr. Herbst, a former army man. The club hopes to promote matches between our club and clubs of other schools.

A. A. state telegraphic has- kcthall shooting contest which was held March 15, There were eight different positions marked off on the floor from which the girls had to shoot. Girls from all over the state entered this contest at their home schools. The emphasis in these contests is entirely individual accomplish- ments, lu order to make some money for the G. A. A. a taffy apple sale was given. These apples were sold for live cents: and a nice profit was made. Last fall we were invited to a play day at Edwardsville. Many tl. A. A's were represented from different neighboring schools. They carried out their play day in the form of the Olympics. There were teams with girls from every school. Each team had the name of a country. The scores were kept on cards. It so happened that the United States' team won. All the girls on this team were given wooden pins with the letters G. A. A. cut out on them. Two Highland girls, Pearl Tschannen and June Vaupel, were receivers of these pins. On the evening of March lil, some of our girls went to a G. A. A. party in East St. Louis. Different schools were represented so that ac- quaintances could be made. They carried out their party in Alice in Wonderland fashion. On May S Highland was host to G. A. A. girls from Greenville. Tren- ton, and New Baden. The theme of the Play Day was an Amateur Radio Day. The invitations sent to other schools represented wheels of fortune, and each school was requested to lzring at least one number for the amateur hour. When the girls registered in the morning, they were put on teams named for different radio stations, The girls dressed at nine, and the activities of the day---baseball, volley ball, quoitennis, relays and stunts-began. Games were played outdoors. Lunch was served in the cafeteria by the foods class. Radio script served as place cards. From there the group went to the auditorium to hear the amateurs from all the schools. Yes, some got the gong! Major Bowes presented the winning team with wooden G. A. A. pendants, made by the girls in our shop. The main idea of the G. A. A. Play Day is to give the girls an oppor- tunity to become acquainted with girls of other schools and to play with these girls instead of against them. We hope our Play Day was en- joyed by our girls and their guests. Miss VVelch, faculty leader of the G. A. A., is also in charge of all the physi- cal education classes for the girls in the Highland Public School. Her mornings are spent in the kindergarten, and her IB afternoons are given over to physical edu- cation work. The girls of each room in the grades receive one hour of physical training a week. High school girls are organized into four groups which receive two hours of training each week. Miss Welch handles this full schedule in a most capable manner and is very popular with the girls of the school.

Blakey, Division Secretary of the State Y. Xl. ti. A., were instrumental in starting the local Hi-Y organization. The school administration realized the need for such an organization and no time was lent, once the opportunity presented itself. The launching of the movement was stimulated by holding the Older Boys' Conference here on December 13, 19318. Two hund1'ed thirty-seven delegates from south- eastetn Illinois towns attended the very inspirational meeting. Dr. Wol- cutt was the main speaker. Air. John Hohner, who had had several years of experience as a Hi-Y leader, was appointed faculty sponsor of the local group. The Hi-Y movement is a fellowship of 160.000 high school boys, The Hi-Y tries to be influential in high school life. It is first of all a con- structive t'orce in the life of high school students both in their school and community experiences. As a by-product of this effort, the members gain a better understanding of what being a Christian means in the present day. The function of the Hi-Y Club is to bring together those boys who are interested in Christian standards for personal living: and for school lit'e and to mobilize their effort in behalf of whatever is needed to pttt the spirit of Christian fellowship into every school group and into every f-:hool situation.

All were placed in the first group and were therefore entitled to enter the state contest. Besides, Inez Welzel und Rena Shiluer entered the solo contest at Staunton and were placed in groups two and three respectively. Tile choruses entered the state contest at Bloomington on April 30 and May I and made a good showing. The mixed chorus was placed in group one and all the other groups in group two. The clubs presented two concerts during the year. The Christmas Yesper Service was held on Sunday afternoon, December 13, and the spring concert on Sunday afternoon, April 18.

Music affords one of the most enjoyable leisure time occupations both for the player and the listener, Participation in musical activity during leisure hours has a definite character forming influence: therefore. to attain our ultimate goal of developing well-rounded personalities, the study ot' music should be available to every child during his entire school life, The objective is to equip the student tor a richer life experience. ln the future music will play an important part in the building of community life: and, in .zo doing, it will become more and more an ex- pression ot' community aspiration and of home lite, Though the musical organizations in the community we shall make music an instrument of friendship and unity of purpose. Thus, we shall be more concerned with what music does for the student than what the student does to music. ln Highland High School, instrumental inursic is 110 lonfzer an extra- curricular activity but a vital necessity in the balanced education of every boy and girl. One halt' credit, is now given for each year of study. The land meets every day in its regular period in the band hall. located be- hind the rear entrance ot' the grade school. The course aims not at de- veloping profcssional musicians but at improving the cultural and artistic background ol' the student. Uur baud did not participate in the district or state contest this year because. as a winner in the national contest last year, it was not eligible to compete this year. This ruling gives the losers of one year an oppor- tnnity to win honors the next. ln the future, sectional contests are to replace the national. This scheme will eliminate costly transcontinental trips and encourage more bands to compete for higher hono1's than those of the state. The band presented a spring concert Thursday evening, May tl.

Bit-tzrist GRADE SCHOOL BAN D More than seventy grade school pupils, more than double the numher il9I'P10fUl't-', are now studying instrumental music. This fact speaks well for the prospects ot' the junior and the senior hands of the Highland Public School. These young people in the grades study fundanieutuls in the make-up ot' inmic along with their regular lessons ot' technique attainment in order that they may be well-rounded musicians, .X rotating schedule has been in use so tliut each student may receive instructions twice an week and miss only il minimum of his other school work. This year the policy has been to olTer instrumental instruction without charge to all who have at desire I0 study. The students range from grades three to eight.

The pledge ot' the members gives the club's aims and ideals: l believe as a girl ot' the Heime Nlachers Club l should be Joyous, courageous. and courteous, Truthful, considerate, and just. Loyal and sincere in friendship, Too nobie to speak ill ot' others. Willing to forgive and forget, Prompt and gracious in obedience, Ready to do all possible service, Qllif'K to appreciate what is done t'or me, liespectful ot' my elders, True to the best that is within me that l may become a tine and worthy woman. The club was not large this year but the members had some worth- while experiences. Irma Warning was sent at the expense ot' the club to the State Home ldconomics Association meeting in Quincy, The club mem- bers held candied apple and popcorn sales to finance her trip. All mem- bers proflted from her report of the trip. The club helped along the Christmas spirit in the school by doing some decorating in various parts ot' the high school. ln April the club sponsored the appearance of Rostand. the magician. and used the proceeds to entertain the high school and eighth grade girls and faculty at a tea. .tn attempt was made to sponsor a discussion group on problems ot' etiquette and conduct. A small but interested group attended these meet- ings which were held bet'ore school each morning, Th most successful meetings of the club were pot-luck luncheons held in the Home liconomics dining room. Several faculty members appeared as guest speakers. HUD' 2: Miss llrew, Knufmzm. XX'arning', Sautter, Duft, 'I's1-hzmnm-n.

Since this yenr marks the hundredth an- niversary of the plntting ot' Highland, we felt that the centennial theme was the only appropriate one. We realized, however, that inany other trihutes to the occasion would be paid by our school, our city, and its vnr- ious organizations: und we feared that in contrast to their achievements our etforts would seein comparatively insigniiicnnt. Likewise, we encoun- tered some difficulty in compiling information for certain sections of our book. We sincerely hope that our etforts to honor our native or adopted city may not go entirely unnoticed. The IllPll1b9I'S of the stntT wish to extend their thanks to all individu- nls who have assisted in the production ol' this book. The sponsors ot' classes and organizations have been very willing to give us illf0I'l1lHli0Il ubout their groups. We are especially grateful to our Superintendent, Mr. Ewing, for his help in the collection of information: to Mr. A. l'. Spencer for his cooperation und valuable ussistunce along many lines: and to Mr. Hurry Swain Jr., representative ol' our engruvers, for many helpful suggestions.

Puul, Yztupel, lilt-in IT WO 'T BE LONG NOW Un the evening ot' November 20, a large crowd witnessed the senior class play, Tompkins' lt Wont Ile Long Now, a royalty play published l.y Lonantans. The production proved a success as a result of a inonth's hard work hy the cast and their sponsor, Mr. Yates. The story t-enters around Bob Preston whose part Marion Alch very capably portrayed. An efficient. hard-hearted young business man, Bob dt-tt-rinines at the instance ol' Dobson, a crooked politician, to dispose of a piece ot' property to a business tirni for a handsome proiit. His fiancee, .inn Winston, had hoped to see this lot, situated near the Benevolent Hospital in which she is deeply interested, niade into a playground. In anuer she breaks her engageinrnt to Bob and has her friend Dr. Talley tell him he has but twenty-four hours to live. Bob undergoes a cotnplete change, gives away his fortune to charity, rights old wrongs, and shows his true character t'or the tirst time. He even marries Vivian Darrell, who has vainly been trying to snare hiin. The play reaches its climax when Preston lim down ready to die and doesnt. Then he discovers the whole thing is a farce, that he is not really married, but that he is a popular hero for his exposal ot' crooked politicians, Naturally he and Ann are reunited.

The lirst was the Hal- lowt-'en Box Social given by the juniors. The Christmas party was sponsored by the sen- iors. ln February the freshmen gave a Valentine party, and the sophomores had the only outdoor affair, a wiener roast at the park, in April. The feature social event of the year is always the junior-senior dinner-dance. This year the event occurred on the evening of Saturday, May 1, and used the May Day Fes- liV1ll2lSilS!l1Gll19. When U16 say young people, their teachers, class parents and the board members with their wives and husband entered the gymnasium, many expressions of pleasure were heard, and truly a lovely scene lay before them. The first object they saw was a huge May-pole with pastel colored streamers attached to the many tables set for four scattered about the room. From the ceiling hung myriads of brilliant birds and huttcrtiies. Around the walls were baskets of May i'lowers. As they approached the tables, the guests saw that each was decorated with a minia- ture May-pole. At each plate was a May-basket with mints and a flower favor. With the help ot the blue-bird place cards, each guest found his place and was seated. His pro- gram and menu booklet was in simple white and black. The banquet, which was prepared by the foods class, was served by tive sophomore girls, Pearl Duft, Lillian Michael, June Moser, Marjorie Moser, and Jane Spindler, assisted by tive sophomore boys, Norbert Kuhn, Earl Lebegue, Marvun Lory, Gene Schott, and ltichard Siegrist. The menu consisted of fruit cocktail, creamed chicken in pattie shells, buttered peas, French fried potatoes, hot rolls and butter, spring salad with cheese straws, May baskets of sponge cake, strawberries and cream, and ice tea. Between the courses of the banquet a table program was given. Beatrice Paul and lncz Wetzel sang solos, Dwight Lory welcomed the seniors, and Marion Alch responded for his class. Gladys Graff told the history of the May Festival. Between the courses also the gathering balloted for the Queen of the May and her Maids of Honor. Prior to the dinner-dance, voting was carried on by the junior and senior class members to choose three senior girls as candidates for the Queen and four junior Si,-15 as Candidates for the Maids of Honor. The winning candidates for Queen were Lynn Dauderman, Dorothy Ellen Draper, and Ione Klein. The winners for the Maids of Honor were Wilma Ea1'nhart, Edna Essenpreis, Lynette Gnaegy, and Betty Leutwile1'. Now the guests cast their votes for the linal choices for these positions of honor, alld the bal- lots were collected by the waitresses. When the dinner was over, the tables were cleared and all waited to see the Queen. First came Alberta Alexander, bearing the crown. Then Dorothy Ellen Draper, Queen of the May, entered on the arm of Marion Alch, senior president, preceded by her Maids, Edna Essenpreis and Lynette Gnaegy. She was met by Dwight Lory who proclaimed her Queen and placed the crown on her head as she sat on the throne. Then l'o1lowed an evening of dancing to the music of Eddie Everett's orchestra which had also played during the banquet. Just before eleven, the assembly wound the May- pole, an incident which met with more jubilance than successg and, shortly after, the happy evening came t0 a close. CCIVIMENCEIVIE T At the time this page goes to press, plans are being made for the activities which will close thc yca1 s work. Programs will be given on the evenings of June 1 and 2, and aftcr each there will be open house to display the work of all departments of the school. The Promotion Exercises of the Grade School will be held on the evening of .lune 1. The program will open with music by the junior high school. A series of ten latticcd arches will be set up on the stage. Jo Ann Hnehrup will appear in the kindergarten arch and welcome the audience. Following her, the kindergarten will pass out of this arch into thx first grade arch. ln succession, Carol Koch will speak on reading for the first grade, Dottie Mae McCormick on numbers for the second grade, Eileen Zbinden on spelling for the third grade, Ethel lberg on writing for the fourth grade, Charlotte Henseler on science for the fifth grade, Blanche Kuhner on English for the sixth grade, Kenneth Michael on mathematics for the seventh grade, and Jeanne Rinderer on social science for the eighth grade. Following each little talk, the pupils of that grade will proceed from their arch into the arch of the room to which they are being promoted. The eighth grade, however, will remain on the stage to receive their diplomas from Mr. Leo Ammann, President of the Board of Education, before they proceed into the high school arch. On the following evening a pageant entitled One Hundred Years of Education in Highland will be presented. A processional march, Pomp and Circumstancef' will be played by the band.

Act two will feature the story of Highland's school buildings on the screen, accompanied by the commentator. Act three will give the story of the life and influence of C. l.. Dietz. In this connection scenes will be given from three operettas which Mr. Dietz especially liked: the doll dance from The Gifts We Bring , the poppy dance from Princess of Poppyland, and the Dutch dance from Windmills of Holland . The first part of act four will be the formal dedication of the building. Short talks will be given by a Board member, Mr. Ewing, a member of the P. T. A., and representa- tives from the P. W.
