WE ORK AND PL Y From previous annuals you may have come to believe that we spend most of our time on what are frequently called extra-curricular activities. Such is not the case, for most of our time is really taken up with regular class room work. This year we wish you to see not only our clubs and organizations but groups of students 'engaged in actual class room activities.

1' 1 In September twenty-five boys answered Coach Davis's call for football. There were nine who were experienced, and it looked as though we would be able to play our regular schedule. But, as the season got under way, a few boys dropped out, and at the end of the season there were only twenty-one left. Due to the weight and size of our team we were handi- capped and had to play teams our size and weight. The squad was composed of four seniors, five juniors, three sophomores, and nine fresh- men. The fact that a larger number of fresh- men turns out every year not only promises a strong team in the future but that football is taking hold in our school and community. The usual starting line was Clayton, center, Grue- nenfelder and Beichel, guards: Malan and Von Rohr, tackles: Schott and Siegrist, ends. The backfleld was composed of Lory, quarterback, Lebegue and Wehrle, halves, and Alldridge, fullback. The reserves were L. Koch, Dubach, Knebel, Haldi, J. Bauman, Klaus, J. Steiner, Brockmeier, B. Baumann, and Schmiedeke. M. Siegrist, a senior, is a tall, lanky end. He can run and pull down passes. He proved to be a good tackler and blocker since he had one year's experience. The other end, Schott, had also been through one year of playing and proved to be a good blocker and tackler. Von Rohr, a newcomer to the team, played tackle. He is a hard fighter and will be a greater help to the team in the future. The other tackle, Malan, with a little more experience will be a good tackler and blocker. The guards were FOOTBALL Gruenenfelder and Beichel. Beichel has had three years' experience in football and is classed as the hardest hitting man on the line. Gruen- enfelder, the other guard, had two years' ex- perience and is a good blocker and will be a great help to the team in the future. Clayton, at center, and Alldridge, fullback, were the nucleus of the team since they were the only four-year men on the otherwise inexperienced team. The backfield, composed of Lebegue, Wehrle, Alldridge, and Lory, proved to be fast, but they were handicapped because of size and weight. Lory, a newcomer to the team, did most of the ball handling. Captain Alldridge could run and was a good passer and punter. We were sorry to lose him at the end of the first semester. Wehrle and Lebegue had seen one year of playing before and were excellent blockers and tacklers. Highland opened its seventh season of football by playing Collinsville's B team on October 2 in Collinsville's new football bowl. The teams were of equal weight and size, and we came out on top with a 13-0 victory. On October 23 we played a return game with the same team on our field, and we won again by a score of 33 to 13. We played our last game with Dupo on October 30. We played their first team, and they out-classed us in every way in weight and size. After a terrific battle the game ended in Dupo's favor, 19 to 31' The fact that we Won two games out of three shows that we can win games if we try.
