Graduates: For two years you have carried forward your eclucatfon in what is fast becoming the most modern as well as most forceful type of college institution. You have helped more than you realize in building here in Centralia, while you builclecl a better and richer life, this exceptional higher educational opportu- nity for the young men and women for future years. It is a source of great satisfaction to the members of the faculty to know that as junior college graduates you are so adequately prepared to continue your college work or to take your place in the business and civic life of today. In either pursuit you have our best wishes. Sincerely yours, Oscar M. Corbell 9 Fczcu fly? ! E gig H. C. AHRENS, M. A. German L. D. ATKINS, M. E. Machine Shop Laboratory ROBERT BARR. M. S.

CLOTHING First semester clothing, under Miss Bledsoe, is a constructive course. Garment construction, pattern-making, and handwork are features of the course. Magazine and book reports are required along with term papers to keep the girls up-to- date on modern fashions. PSYCHOLOGY The science of psychology seeks to describe, predict, and control human behavior. Psy- chology helps the student to solve his life problems by qgiving him a better under- standing of himself and others. 14 TYPING Typewriting is a popular train- ing course for both personal and vocational purposes. All students work for speed and accuracy in their worlc and get practice on various business forms and letters. CHEMISTRY The rusting of iron, the burn- ing of coal, the creation of all our modern conveniences make a knowledge of chemis- try essential for a general edu- cation. In this course students acquire information about why and how the world operates. ECONOMICS Under Mr. Rau, the economics class attempted to reason out the causes of human activity. In the field of commerce, eco- nomics and accounting are the core subjectsg economics is the more general course. 15 SPEECH The first-semester speech class dealt with platform speaking and correction of pronuncia- tion faults. During the second semester, the group studied radio speaking and broad- casting methods with invalu- able aid from a wire-recorder. THE LIBRARY The library, general laboratory of the college, supplies faculty and students with materials, attempts to cultivate the best reading habits, and teaches the student how to use the many facilities offered. RHETORIC I Without effective communica- tion an organized society could not exist. Through reading, writing, speaking, listening, and observing, students learn to use their language in a more meaningful way. 16 FREEHAND DRAWING The introduction of the stu- dent to drawing and composi- tion is the fundamental aim of the freehand drawing class. This course prepares him tech- nically, practically, and aes- thetically for continued study. STENOGRAPHY The Junior College secretaries of the future learn to take dictation at high speeds-up to 140 words per minute- and to transcribe their notes with speed and accuracy. PHYSICS Under the direction of Mr. Mansell, the physics class at- tempts to prove physical laws and theories by demonstrating them with laboratory equip- ment. Many interesting experi- ments are carried outL 17 TRIGON OM ETRY The trigonometry class, under Miss Luther, studied the solu- tion of triangles. This course is the basis of many college mathematics courses. Trigo- nometry is required of pre- engineering and pre-medical students. FRENCH This year's class of French students learned the basic fun- damentals of grammar and vocabulary. A good reading knowledge of the language was the primary aim of the course. AMERICAN HISTORY The American History course is a ' survey course in which students acquire the knowledge that will help them to have a richer life and to be better and more intelligent citizens. 18 Classes 1. MARYLO r'-S Secretary President . Sophomore CI USS This year, 1948, marked the graduation from CT-IC of a class distinguished for its size and scholarship. In both respects our class held top place among all the classes ever to go out from these halls. Composed of sixty members, fourteen of whom were girls and forty-six boys, we demonstrated that we in- tended to get the utmost from our college education. The grade point average for our entire class for the first semester of this year was 3.90 and for veterans, 3.95. These averages excel the previous high of 3.83 in the second semester of the 1946-47 school year. Two sophomores maintained straight A's for two years, while almost one-half of the mem- bers of our class held A and B averages. As leaders in the life of the college, we left behind the foundation of school activities which we hope will not perish. It was hard work to build extra-curricular activities such as this book, but we are thankful for the training in leadership and cooperation which we have received from them. The memory of pleasant associations with teachers and fellow students and the fine education which we obtained here, as well as the many lasting memories of our social events, will go forward with us as we face the world of tomorrow- happy to have belonged to a college equaled by few. Our class is a proud class- proud of our members, of our scholarship, of our cont 'b ' ri ution to our college.

MERLE President Secretary l Fresh man Class i We freshmen had a busy and eventful first year in college. We became accustomed to being treated more like adults and learned to take the added responsibility that adults must take. Our number was variableg but at the beginning of the second semester we had seventy-nine members, of whom sixteen were women and sixty-three were men. Eleven freshmen were veterans of service in the armed forces. Though most of us were graduates of Centralia Township High School, several came from neighboring towns and one each from faraway Michigan and California. Freshmen took part in many school activities. Several of us were members of the staff of the Scroll, our college newspaper, and others wrote an occasional article. Some of us worked on the Lens, the college yearbook, either on the editorial or on the business staff. As active members of the social committee, some of us helped plan college social events. Freshman boys contributed to the success of the athletic program by playing either with the Blue Devils or on the freshman basketball team. Having completed a successful year, many of us plan to return next September to take the lead in college affairs. We have served our apprenticeship and are ready to, go on to greater things.

Hardwood Echoes Ray Scores Two Points : ' 'ix L THE BLUE DEVILS Coach Tucker had Judy Onyett, Dale Ray, Jim Beaver, Denny Sapp, Jack Hartley, Frank Osborn, Tommy Atkins, and J. B. Clarida back this year from the 1946-47 Blue Devils. With these boys, he used three freshmen-Bob Tate. Tommy Bounds, and Jim Thrailkill-to round out his squad at the start of the season. The Devils opened the season with four straight victories. These were over Blackburn, Belleville J. C., Harris Teachers, and Scott Field. They defeated Belleville J. C. easily enough to allow Tucker to try out some of his reserve freshmen. whom he had playing in the B league at the community center for ex- perience. These men were Ellis McMillan, Dick Marcum, and John O'Dell. Onyett and Ray were 38 thc mainstays in these first games, with Tate starring against Blackburn with his free-throw accuracy. A rough-playing Lincoln team broke the Devils' streak at four games. Unable to bounce back, Tucker's men lost the next two games- 'I'irst to a good Springfield J. C. team and then to Blackburn. Onyett missed the latter game because of an infected foot, and Ray sprained his ankle in the same game. With Ray out of the lineup, and Onyett and Thrailkill playing with bad feet, the Devils were still able to defeat Harris Teachers and Belle- ville J. C., both for the second time. McMillan, Marcum, and Fred Gibson were brought up from the reserve freshman team and placed on the squad as Jack Hartley quit. .Tack felt he was unable to get himself in shape all year. Parks Air College was edged out by the Devils before Lincoln again stopped the win- ning streak. The boys lost this game only be- cause of their failure to hit from the free throw line that night. They made only 16 of the 42 free throws awarded them and lost by five points. Ray returned for limited service in this game. After losing to Lincoln, the Blue Devils fin- ished the season with three more defeats. These were administered by Scott Field, Springfield J. C., and Parks Air College. Tate gave the best individual performance of the year in the Springfield game by scoring 24 points. Spring- field was the best team the Devils played all year, however, Throughout the year, Tucker used Onyett, Ray, Tate, Bounds, Sapp, Thrailkill, and Beaver interchangeably in his starting lineups. Their seasonal record was seven victories and the same number of defeats. This is not a bad record considering that most of the opposition was from three and four-year colleges. This was the first year in which Centralia had played in the newly-formed Missouri-Illi- nois College Conference. The Devils' confer- ence record was five wins against five losses. This landed them in third place in the final standings, trailing behind Springfield J. C. and Lincoln. Other teams in the conference were Belleville J. C., Parks Air College, Harris Teachers, and Lincoln Bible. Bob Tate's fine showing in the Springfield game allowed him to edge out Judy Onyett for the individual scoring honors. He had 162 points for the season to Judy's 157. Other scoring for the Devils was as follows: Jim Thrailkill, 111: Dale Ray, 98: Tommy Bounds 921 Denny Sapp, 511 Jim Beaver, 433 Frank Osborn, 13: Jack Hartley, 103 J. B.

Class at the Bowling Alley fpfzysical Eclfuccztion PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES Under the competent supervision of Miss Dorothy Holston, the women's physical educa- tion class enjoyed a very successful year of fun and exercise. During the first semester, Junior College women learned some of the basic forms of modern dancing, an occupation designed to develop coordination and grace. Later in the term, the class made bi-weekly sojourns to the downtown bowling alley in order to im- prove skill in that game. Most of the second semester was spent in playing girls' basketball, the competitive sport which seemed to be the preference of many Junior College women. Men's classes in physical education were directed by Mr. Jimmie Evers. Among the most prominent of the activities in which the classes participated were the sports of soccer and bas- ketball. Tumbling was also an activity engaged in during the first semester. Most of the second semester the men's classes met at the bowling alley to try their hand at striking and sparing. The classes turned out a number of excellent bowlers. 42 A 1VIen's Class Practicing Calisthenics Cfcfiivities Faculty Council-Mr. Stevenson, Miss Berry, Mr. Tucker, Miss Jennings-and President of the Student Council, James Fetgatter. Student Council The second Student Council was installed at the beginning of the school year. The honor of serving on this council was limited to the grad- uating class of 19483 however, the members were elected by the entire student body. This governing body accepted the by-laws adopted by the council last year. These laws were used as a basis for regulating student complaints. The prime purpose of this governing body is to act as a liaison group between students and faculty members. To achieve this goal, the Student Council works cooperatively with the faculty council. The Student Council also functions as an organization to increase student activities. During the past school year, the council suc- cessfully sponsored thc first college Hallowe'en float.

LENS HEADS Charles Heyduck, Business Manager first semester, Marylene Cunningham, Editor-in-chief, Bill Wey, Business Manager second semester In this yearbook, the Lens of 1948, we have tried to give you the Biggest and the Best, just as we promised to do. We hope that our efforts will serve as an inspiration to classes in years to come, for it is our belief that the Lens should be made an indispensable part of the Centralia Township Junior Colege. The following people have devoted many hours and much hard work to produce this book: Jack Lenzini, assistant business managerg the business staff including James Bellamy, Mary Louise Copple, Helen Garrett, Eldon Webb, and Bernice Treloggeng the editorial staff consisting of Wanda Williamson, Delores McMath, Betty Pitt, and Mary Gotta: and the snapshots staff composed of Billy Cherry, Neil Hediger, Bob Redus, and Don Fearheiley. Charles Heyduck, business manager the :first semester of the year, resigned in January, and the position was reassigned. Special recognition should be paid to Marylene Cunningham, whose devoted effort is responsible for the assembly and arrangement of the materials within these pages, and to Bill Wey whose business ability made possible the financing of this year's Lens. We wish to extend our sincere appreciation to Miss Julia Phillips, our faculty adviser, for the assistance and guidance she rendered us, 46 Ch rzstmas Formal One of the largest and most enjoyable social events of the year was our colorful Christmas dance held on December 20. The music of Bud Roderick and his excellent twelve-piece orches- tra was chosen for the occasion. The dance, which was held from nine to twelve in the VFW Hall, was attended by over one hundred couples composed of Junior College students and their guests. These couples en- joyed an evening of smooth dancing and lively chats with their friends. Refreshments were served at small tables fringing the dance floor. Candlelight, Christmas bells, and holly sprigs gave the Hall an air of excitement and holiday festivity. Scattered throughout the room multi-colored formals added to the effectiveness of these decorations. Soft music. blending with the rustle of taffeta, the ripple of net, and the glimmer of colored lights painted an impressive picture of holiday gaiety. Students and guests alike left the Hall eagerly anticipating the Spring Formal, our next big dance. Greeted at the cloor by Lester Coe and Mary Louise Copple are Roy Gordon and Jimmie Joan Reed Dancing to the music of Bud Roderick's JC Students enjoying the party amid orchestra in the VFW Hall. beautiful decorations.

Our attendance there is as regular as our attendance at our ordinary classes, if not more so. If ever we crave good food, we can run over to Shorty's, and obtain the neces- sary uvittlesn for a successful clay at school. If we feel the urge to dance, it's off to Shorty's we go, for it's here that we are greeted with a julce box equipped with the latest records. But Shorty's cloes not supply food and entertainment alone. Oh, no! Believe it or not, we visit Shorty's more regularly to study than for anything else, for even if the juke box is going full blast in one corner and politics are being vehemently dis- cussed in another, the atmosphere is such that great accomplishments are made. 59 SPIETH STUDIO 222 North Poplar Street Centralia, Illinois Pictures for Annuals and Class Photographers For the Schools of Southern Illinois Where Most Schools of Southern Illinois Have Their Photographic Work Done PHONE 68 COMPLIMENTS OF BYRD-WATSON DRUG CC.
