THE MASCUUTAN 1 u5u ' 9 4 T, ' f-. 1 -v . . 1 X-.. x ' 1 01111 EW MA UUUTAH Although for some time there was a definite realization of the crying need for a new Mascoutah Community High School, the first tangible plans were miide in january, 1948, with the holding of an election for a bond issue for S550,000, followed in June by another for S75,000. Ballots were almost unanimously cast in favor of a new high school. Under the supervision of the architect, Mr. Albert Goeclde, and the general contractor, Mr. Ferdinand Ganschinietz, construction began during the autumn of 1948, The ceremony for the laying of the cornerstone took place on October 12, 1948, The building, 47,000 square feet of space-325 feet in length and 65 feet in width-consists of a central structure and two wings, one well equipped for indus- trial arts, and the other containing the gymnasium, which may also be used as an auditorium, The dimensions of the gymnasium, which has a combination stage and roll-away seats in addition to permanent bleachers, are 100 feet by 64 feet floor space, and the seating capa- city is 1600. At present there are 150 students in the school, which has facilities and space ample for a potential enrollment of 375 to 400 students, which will, no doubt, be reached in several years, judging from enrollments in the grade school. ln addition to the classical, academic branches, such as languages, English, mathematics, and social science, complete equipment has been provided for science, home economics, agriculture, industrial arts, and commercial subjects, There is also a well-stocked library of approximately 4500 volumes, a cafeteria with labor-saving UOMMlllllI'l'Y IIIGII UIIIIIIL devices, as a potato peeler and an electric dish-washer, a visual education room with dark shades for showing movies in day- light, and a public address system, one of the most modern features of thc school. The extra-curricular activities offered in Naseoutah Community lligh School include the publication of a yearbook, the Museoutang the monthly newspaper, the Ili-Litas: a student council, a band: choral groups: Future Farmers and Future llomcmakers of America, draniatics, Girls' Athletic Association: a photography club, and baseball and basketball teams, In the future the school grounds, covering HW acres, will be used to full advantage, since provision is to be made for a track, a baseball diamond, and tennis courts. In our high school the aim of all teaching, curricular as well as extra-curri- cular, is to fashion young adults into responsible, wellfinformed, and cultured citizens, who are able not only to apply their knowledge and skills in their daily oe- cupations or professions, but to use their leisure time to full advantage. Education is the process of preparing to live harmon- iously, happily, and successfully with one's fellowmen. To be a well-rounded individual one must be developed physic- ally, socially, mentally, and morally. The curriculum and clubs in the high school are all based on this philosophy of ed- ueation, The members of the Board of Educa- tion and Mr, Wiley B. Garvin are to be congratulated for their foresight, astutel ness, and self-sacrificing perseverance in planning an ultra-modern high school, in providing the best educational and recreational facilities and guidance for the youth of Mascoutah, ln short, for making all our dreams a reality. Q r DEDIUATIU. In token of our gratitude for her untiring efforts which have made our annual possible, for her patience and understanding when we needed them most, and lor the important part she has played by conscientiously instructing us in the classroom, we wish to dedicate this, the twentyffourth volume of the Maseoiitmz, to Miss Norma Steines. VVe can never be grateful or appreciative enough to repay her for her help in leading us upward from the pits ot ignorance and despair to the golden fields ol' knowledge and faith. Therefore we take this opportunity to express our heartfelt thanks to such an ad- mirable person-one who has achieved one of the greatest honors - that of being called friend Miss NORMA STEINES, BA., MA. FUREWURD The yearbook staff presents lor your approval the Mascrmtun, the annual publication of lVlascoutah Community High School. By means ol' pictures and articles we have tried to present to you a description ot our school life, curricular as well as extra- curricular. The minds ol' our students are trained by their scholastic pursuits. The characters of our students are greatly inllluenced by the various clubs and organizations existing in our school. Each scholastic, social, and athletic pursuit adds something vital to the development ol' boys and girls. Taken together, these activities train students for better home lives, more productive leisure time, and more successful vocations and careers. Bovs and girls also learn how to work together, cooperating with their fel- low students. May you always find great enjoy- ment in the recollection of fond me- mories that this book records. Alllll l. I'Ilil'l'lll Mr. XViley ll. Garvin, aliter a year's leave ol' ahsence from M his duties as superintendent, is hack with us performing the many tasks placed helore him. At all times he advises and cooperates with the liaculty and student hody for the henefit ol' the entire school, ln a capahle and understanding manner he is always ready and willing to give counsel to each individual in personal conferences. lt matters not whether the pi-olmlein is great or small: he is always standing hv to lend a helping hand as we meet the shoals on life's great sea. XYL' shall never he ahle to thank him enough lor the part he has played in developing us into sturdy, well4rounded citizens, capahle of occupying the place which now awaits us in tomorrow's world.

Signed: Senior Class, '50 Witnesses: Jean White Carol Stahl TIIE lllllll I llllill One bleak, rainy afternoon in 1960 I was sitting in my bamboo hut in the Belgian Congo, where I had been a nurse for the past six years. I was paging through my 1950 annual from M.C.H.S, and reminiscing about my high-school days, wondering what had become of all my classmates. Had each one reached his goal in life? Were some of them on the road to fame? To fortune? Since I was longing to see my homeland and my old friends, I decided to take a much-needed vacation, Boarding a plane for the States, whom should I find as stewardess but Bernice Kraemer! While making me comfortable, she told me that the pilot was none other than the famous Robert Crash Landingv Donner, who would be sure to take me safely to Mascoutah. Being rather dubious, I was greatly reassured by the presence of the new World's Heavyweight Champion, Norman You'd better ducku Weber, who was sitting across the aisle from me, His companion was Dwight Hoelscher, now a missionary in India, We had a very enjoyable trip talking over old times and landed safely at the new airport of the ever-thriving metropolis of Mascoutah. The airport was owned' and managed by Ronald Heyde, who frequently evaded business for his favorite pastime, fishing. Going into his office to call a cab, we talked with the receptionist, Shirley Bischoff, and Ronald's secretary, Marjorie Klingel. When the cab came, we found that our driver was Dick Cannon, owner of Cannonls Courteous Cab Com- pany. He told us that the mayor of Mascoutah was the dignified Allen Allie Albrecht, who blows bubbles to relieve his mind from vexing civic problems. His right-hand man, the Chief of Police, is the famed sleuth, Everett Deterding, better known as Deadeye,', who always gets his man-or mouse. Crime doesn't pay in Mascoutah, even field mice are afraid to steal grain anymore. Chief Deterding is also hot on the trail of people who throw beer bottles in tavern brawls, As a result of Deadeye's war on mice, Loraine Yarber and Gerald Rakers are the most prosperous farmers in the community. Our taxi ran out of gasoline in front of Glenn Pitt's Streamlined Standard Service Station, Jerome Mueller, his friendly and industrious attendant, filled the tank for us, Then, after leaving Norman and Dwight at the home of friends, I continued merrily on my way to Hotel Mascoutah, owned and operated by Robert Mueth. He guarantees that his guests may rest comfortably Cin spite of bed bugs and roachesl, or their money is cheer- fully CPD refunded. Here I was given a warm reception by the quiet and refined desk clerk, Danny Rasch. I could hardly believe my eyes. How ten years can change people! He rang a bell, and a nattily-dressed bell-hop, Daniel Wombachcr, came to take my bags. I really appreciated his service, and when I offered him a 75cts. tip, he politely refused it-for old times' sake. He 14 volunteered the information that Dorothy Harper and Alice Joellenbeck were well-known novelists, who had written two of the latest best-selling mysteries-Murder in the Malt Shop and The Strange Case of the Mas- coutah Maniac. He also told me that Helen Heimann had become an illustrator for the Ladies' Home Journal. After thanking Dan, the bell-hop dandy, I lay down to rest awhile. Later, when I attended a movie at the Bijou Theater, I met Sharol Dickhaut, the ticket-seller, who told me that the theater was owned by Jake Klopmeyer, and that the ticket-taker was his wife, the former June Linck. After chatting with June, I entered the theater and took a seat. The star of the main attraction was Charles Kieback, who had replaced Jimmy Durante in the movies. In the news reel I saw pictures of the mathe- matical genius, John Pittman, the present-day Einstein. One of his greatest accomplishments was the discovery of the Pittman Theorem, guaranteed to make geometry simple, even for high-school sophomores. After the movie I met Betty Rainwater, a curator of the local Art Museum and her dearest friend, Margie Schubert, who has developed a new method of preventing accidents on Slick streets. Her method? Stay off! I left these old friends and went to the 'iRats' Nest Cafe, which caters to only the best clientele, It is owned by Louie the Louse, known to some as Jack Roth, the ideal of all Mascoutah ladies. The pretty hat-check girl, Ruth Wombacher, was checking the derby of George M, Cohan Bizenberger, a song-writer well known in Tin Can Alley for such popular songs as Meet Me in Fort Leavenworth and The Bread-and-Water Bluesf' He pays the singing headwaiter, Harvey Scering, to plug his songs. I was escorted to my table to the tune of Meet me in Fort Leavenworthg meet me in my cell. Cheerful! The pert, little waitress, Lucille Werner, took my order, While I awaited my food, Sylvia Haas, the wife of the city's most prosperous undertaker, and Leona Anstedt, wife of the city's leading doctor, came over to chat. Sylvia is very fond of Leona -Leona's husband furnishes Sylvia's husband with most of his business. The girls told me that Carol Stahl was a very successful model in New York City forvboth the Robert John Towers and Hanover agencies. Our chit-chat was pleasantly interrupted by the music of Marilyn Beckmeyer's all-girl orchestra, the very talented vocalist being Doris Justus. The first number was the Mascoutah Loyalty Song, still the top number on our Hit Parade of Memories, After my pleasant, but all too short, visit I departed from dear old Mascoutah, flying toward the east and the rising sun, which gives promise of a still brighter tomorrow!

Finding in these simple folk such devotion and consideration as he had never before known, Mr. Shaw left his relatives practically nothing. Being appraised of the of the Play legacy, Oscar brings his mother and sister East to claim the inheritance. Mr, Shaw's relatives, together with an unscrupulous woman lawyer, make every effort to fleece the Springers of their legacy. But the simple tactics that won George Shaw's heart triumph over all evil, and Oscar even succeeds in winning the love of Pamela Shaw, the dead man's niece. The play has abundant humor, exciting situations, a sprinkling of pathos, and interesting characters.

Gee! She was beautiful there in the sunlight! If only she'd let me take her for a spin this afternoon, I'd be so happy! It had been a long time since she had last gone out with me, but we had such fun together! Then she refused to go with me again, If only I knew why, I'd fix things up and make her want to come along. I had dozens of friends when she was my steadyg now even they seem tired of me. If only she wouldn't be so stubborn, I know we could patch things up! Maybe I didn't spend enough time with her. Maybe it's that I left her standing out in the rain that night I went to see the gang. It couldn't be that I didn't spend enough money on her, for there were Clays when I went without those extra cokes and milk shakes just to take her out. Maybe if I went up to her and spoke of my sorrow, she would forgive me and respond, Having made up mv mind, I fairly flew down the stairs the following morning. At the sight of her, I walked up to her and started begging, pleading, and then with a silent prayer I turned the crank. The motor startedg the temperamental puddle-jumper, my dear, sweet Lizzie, was again purring contentedly. Telephone 148 WILMER EMMERICH Distributor for EMGE PACKING CO., INC. U. s. NO.
