In so doing we may be criticized very severely. We have tried to print a book without any calls for advertisements. The purpose of this book is to boost and assist the “Home Town.” Our printing was done at home, and the black and white etchings are the handiwork of the staff. We wish to thank the business men and their committee, who have worked so faithfully with the staff. We sincerely hope that this book will keep alive traditions of the school and will offer facts concerning the school that hitherto have not been presented to the public. The work must speak for itself. We have not tried to ape a col- lege annual. This is just a sincere effort to present a true picture of our school as an integral part of our town. With the hope that this book will bear to you a true picture of our school and our “Home Town”, we, the Senior Class, present this volume of the Memini. EVELYN WINTER. Editor JOE TAYLOR.

ILLINOIS Hoodbmbbehsmeebq'Monae Etraonn ESEBaEQQEQEQonnBfaQQaaaanQBnQflQQQaQMOOE jjj CORNER OF LINCOLN AVENUE AND MADISON STREET Our Home Town O’Fallon is a beautiful little city of about 2500 inhabitants. It is situated on the Midland Trail, 18 miles east of St. Louis, in one of the most desirable parts of St. Clair county. While much of the land east of St. Louis is low, the altitude of O’Fallon is 551 feet above sea level. This gives excellent drainage to the entire district and increases sanitation. Because of the rising ground and the excellent situation some of the most desirable residence locations of St. Clair county lie in the city. The city proper lies in the widst of a wonderful farming and dairying com- munity, in fact the famous Shiloh Valley District, which borders O’Fal- lon on the south, is known as “The Garden Spot of Illinois.” Splendid hard roads lead away from O’Fallon to the East, West, and South. By means of these, the residents of O’Fallon have easy access to the indus- trial centers of Belleville, East St. Louis, and St. Louis. It requires thir- ty-five minutes to reach the heart of St. Louis from O’Fallon. Bus lines are operated to St. Louis and Belleville, and because of this it is possible for many people who are employed in other cities to live in O’Fallon. O’Fallon is served by three railroads, the Baltimore and Ohio, Louisville and Nashville, and the Illinois Terminal. The Baltimore and Ohio and the Louisville and Nashville give access to the main trunk lines of these railroads. The Terminal, only recently completed, forms a perfect belt line for the town, entering East St. Louis and St. Louis and connects with the main trunk lines running from Chicago and points East. This splen- did railroad service promises wonderful facilities for new factories and other industries. Six The chief industries in and around O’Fallon, besides the farming and dairying previously mentioned, are mining and manufacturing. The largest industrial plant of the city is the Eureka Steel Range Company, makers of the Eureka steel ranges and stoves. This company is one of the largest manufacturers of steel ranges in the United States. It em- ploys approximately five-hundred people and manufactures both steel and enamel ranges and cook stoves for gas, electricity, and coal. There are five large coal mines close by. It is interesting to know that one of these mines, the Taylor Mine, is the oldest active coal mine in the State of Illinois. In addition to the industries mentioned above, our town also contains a flour and feed mill, tw'o bakeries, and a creamery, all of which are w'ell-equipped and whose products are known far beyond the boundaries of O’Fallon. Conveniences within the city are on a par with those of cities boast- ing a much larger population than ours. The city is supplied with “twen- ty-four hour” electric service by the Illinois Power and Light Corpora- tion. A sanitary sewer system, which abutts every lot in the city and offers possibilities for connection, makes the city a healthful place in which to live. An efficient motorized fire department, which owns two well-equipped motor trucks, has reduced fire loss to a very negligible amount. The city contains approximately three miles of paved streets. One of the well-known features of the tow-n is the large community building. This building is located on a twenty acre tract of ground which is to be landscaped and formed into a community park. Bonds have already been issued and the contract let for the laying of a water main from the limits of East St. Louis to O’Fallon. This work will be completed during the summer and then O’Fallon will enjoy the same kind of water service as that of East St. Louis and Belleville. One of the most pleasing features about our city is the fact that not less than eighty percent of the people of O’Fallon live in their own homes. This has made it a solid substantial town and not a “boom- tow'n”. At the beginning of 1930 the two banks of the city showed bank resources exceeding $1,636,000.00. Our city has four w'ell supported and well maintained churches, an active Business Men’s Association, and a Rotary Club, which ranks among the best in Rotary International. At the present time, this club holds second place in the world for perfect attendance. O’Fallon’s growth has not been of the mushroom type, but the city has had a healthy and steady increase in new modern homes each year. During the past five y°ars, no less than one hundred modern homes have been constructed within the city. In the light of all the above, is it any wonder that we, the class of 1930, are justified in boost- ing our home town? a Seven KS KM k‘BBBBBBSBBBSBBBBBSEBSEEBSBSBBBBBBSBBBBSBBSEBEBSSBBEBBBEBEEBBESEBBBEBaEri ks a s S h □ p b3 a S3 Items of Interest Concerning Our High School The members of the Class of 1930 are not only proud of our “Home Town” but we are also proud of our High School. We have good reasons to be proud of it. In preparation for the formation of these items, our editorial board have asked a number of representative citizens this question: “What items of interest regarding our High School that have- not been published before, would you like to see included in our an- nual?” The report that follows represents the sum-total of their answers. Again we have tried to depart from the ordinary and to tell you, the public, some things about our school that you may not know. HISTORY The High School was organized in 1901 as a two-year High School. It was located then, in the West School Building on St. Louis road. This building was built in 1901. In 1905. the course was changed to a three- year course. In 1911, the East Building on the St. Louis road was fin- ished, and the High School moved into it. In 1915, the three-year course was changed to a four-year course. The High School was organized as a Township High School in 1920, under the old state law that provided for township organization. Later on, the district was enlarged under the new Community High School law to include the Milburn district, lying just to the northwest of O’Fallon Township. This was by request of the voters of Milburn district. In 1925, the High School was moved into its present commodious building at the corner of Midland Trail and Cherry street. BUILDING AND EQUIPMENT The items for these statistics are taken from the yearly reports made for the last two years to the State Superintendent of High Schools. District 203 contains approximately forty-one square miles. The school district owns and operates its own plant. The present building and equipment cost approximately $100,000.00 and was erected in 1925. Several additions have been made since then, such as the land- scaping of the grounds at a cost of approximately $2,000.00. About one- third of the cost of this landscaping was paid for by public subscription. The school owns laboratory equipment worth approximately $7,000.00, which is distributed among the following departments: Physics, Biolo- gy, Home Economics, Commercial, and Geography. The library con- tains a splendid assortment of books numbering over 1350 volumes, and distributed among the following departments: English, History, Social Science, Natural Science, Vocational and Miscellaneous. The library is organized on the Dewey Decimal System and a student librarian is always in charge. The High School Board makes a liberal allowance every year for apparatus and library replacements and additions. An allotment of $330.00 was made for these purposes in 1929 and 1930. In sanitation and in safety requirements, the building conforms to the Re quired Standards for Recognized High Schools. FINANCIAL STATISTICS The equalized assessed value of all property in the High School district, including Milburn district, is $3,345,281.00. The amount of the present debt for bonds is $67,000.00. (The bonds are being retired at present at the rate of $5,000.00 per year). The per capita cost last year Ten MQBBBBEQBQECieSQQBQEEaQBBBQnQnDBGiyBnesaBBBBB EaaaQESBIBEQBBBeiBEESeaBBBBBQaBat?!

The High School receives approximately fifty tuition pupils per year from outlying districts, who prefer to attend school here. For this year, we have tuition pupils as follows: twelve gi from Shiloh; one from Cherry Grove; one from Bunkum; fourteen from § Carbon; fourteen from Pontiac; four from Caseyville; two from Union Hill; and three from Helwig. Last year the amount of tuition collected g was $5,300.00. The estimated per capita cost for this school year is about the same as last year. S COURSE OF STUDY § The course of study offered in the O'Fallon Township High School has been passed upon by the State High School Board and pronounced entirely satisfactory. A summary of the course of study follows: a All graduates are required to take four years of English, two years of Mathematics, and at least one year of Laboratory Science. In addi- tion all Seniors must take a year of American History and Civics, which includes a detailed study of the Constitution of the United States. A half year of Physiology and Hygiene is required of all Freshmen who do not a enroll in the Home Economic courses. In addition to the foregoing re- quired subjects, a student is allowed to make up the sixteen credits necessary for graduation from a wide variety of elective subjects. Addi- tional courses in Advanced Algebra and Solid Geometry are given to a students preparing for college courses demanding them. Two years of Latin are offered to students who wish to meet the Foreign Language g requirements for college entrance. There are excellent departments in Commercial Work and Home Economics where students may elect § Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Typewriting, Art and Design, Cooking. Sew- § ing, and Home Sanitation. General electives in the academic depart- g ment include Ancient and Modern History, Civics, Economics, Physical and Commercial Geography, Botany, Zoology, and Physics. An oppor- a tunity to take part in applied music is furnished by the orchestra. Gym- nasium classes are conducted twice a week for boys and girls, and al- though not compulsory, students whose programs permit it find it ad- vantageous to take some form of Physical Exercise. a ORGANIZATION § The school is organized on the thirty-six week basis, but the actual § number of days in which school is in session always exceeds one hun- g dred eighty days. Recitation periods are forty-five minutes long, and there are eight periods per day. Beginning pupils are limited to four g subjects for a daily schedule, but advanced pupils of good standing § may, with permission of the principal, be permitted to carry more than four subjects. No classes are allowed to contain more than thirty pu- pils, as the administration feels that more than this would be too many to receive individual attention. Most classes contain approximately a twenty-five pupils. § STANDING OF THE HIGH SCHOOL § The standing of the O’Fallon Township High School is the highest g given to accredited High Schools in the State of Illinois. Our credit card shows 100 7 credit for all subjects taught. The school ranks as a regular a four-year High School of long term standing, that is, it is visited only g every third year by the High School Inspectors. The last Certificate of g Visitation and Credit was issued in March, 1928, and does not expire g until June. 1931. At the time of his last visit, the High School Inspector a said some very complimentary things about our school in a short address § which he made before our student body. The enrollment in our High g § School at present is approximately one hundred and eighty. g □ D S Eleven g ir jlawrinrmrm7 nnw Ji.72nn7m72r2mrmnnnn?mnnrmnnn7mnnnnnTmr2n7mnnrm7ir rJnnrJir r, Mr. G. B.

Board of Education Mr. George Fischer, Member Board of Education THE BOARD’S MESSAGE TO THE STUDENTS MR. GIESER: “A school is known by its finished product. are you contributing to the reputation of school?” What your MR. SCHNEIDER: “School time is valuable; do not waste it.” MR. SCHAEFFER: “Education is something no one can take from you. The old saying is, ‘Opportunity knocks but once,’— so do not fail to make the most of this golden op- portunity, as it will never return.” MR. JOSEPH: MR. FISCHER: “I differ with the idea that, ’It is never too late to get all you can.’ While in the Grade and High School, it is an opportunity you have but once.” “In this our nation of high privilege and great op- portunity we have the free school, the open Bible, freedom of religious worship and conviction. We have the broadest opportunity for advancement with every door open. The humblest among us may aspire to the highest place in public favor and con- fidence.” Thirteen a 3 Cl a 3 a A a □ a a H a A Cl a H a a a a a a a a a H g a B a a a a a a g a □ a a a a a a a a a High School So Jig BLUE AND OLD GOLD Although Yale has always favored The violet’s dark blue, And the gentle sons of Harvard, To the crimson rose are true We will own the lily’s splendor, All honor shall they hold While the High School stands defender Of the Blue and the Old Gold. Thro’ the four long years of High School Midst the scenes we know so well As the mystic charms to knowledge We vainly seek to spell; Or we win athletic vict’ries On the football field or goal, Still we work for dear O’Fallon, And the Blue and the Old Gold. When the cares of life o’ertake us, Mingling fast our locks with gray, Should our dearest hopes betray us, False fortune fall away; Still we banish care and sadness As we think of days of old, And recall those days of gladness, ’Neath the Blue and the Old Gold.

Eight years ago our principal, Mr. J. E. Hinch- cliff instituted a local contest and soon we were imitated by other schools. Since then there has been a county meet instituted and O’Fallon has won the meet every year up to the present time, and we hope to do so this year. In the local contest held last year the winners were: girl's solo, first, Katherine Willard, second, Josephine Willard, third, Mildred Ayers, boy’s solo, first, Russell Joseph, second, Clarence Distler; violin solo, first, Vera Klein, second. Laverne Hemmer; piano solo, first, Russell Joseph, second, Katherine Budina, third, Lucille Billot; oration, first, Alice Behrens, second, Elmo Joseph, third, Florence Dist- ler; extemporaneous speaker, first, Bernetta Joseph, second, Elmo Joseph. The following were winners of the gold medals in the local meet and participated in the county meet held at Freeburg, May 5, 1929. At Freeburg, O'Fallon again proved the intellectual ability of her students by bringing home the laurels for the third year. The Boys’ Quartette, composed of Joseph Taylor, Russell Joseph, Clarence Distler, and Wil- liam Koch won first place. The Girls’ Quartette, consisting of Jean Griffiths, Katherine Willard, Flora Schneider, and Josephine Willard took second place. Leonard Hall was awarded first place in boy’s readings. In girl’s readings, Josephine Willard was given second place. First place in extemporaneous speaking and in oration went to Bernetta Joseph and Alice Behrens, respectively. Russell Joseph, the outstand- ing contestant of the day won gold medals in both boy’s solo and piano solo. Our debaters contributed five more points to our huge score by winding up the season as county champions. In typing Annice Willard won first place in individuals and Arline Morgan won third. A typing team consisting of Annice Willard, Arline Morgan, Flora Schneider, and Russell Joseph won first place. It might be well to mention that our commercial students also won distinction in the District Meet. In typing, Annice Willard was awarded second place. In shorthand, first place went to Annice Willard, second to Ar- line Morgan, and third to Flora Schneider. We were not quite so successful at McKendree, luck seemed to be against us, but nevertheless our Boys’ Quartette won second place and our boy’s soloist, Russell Joseph, won third place. Thirty-eight This year’s local contest was held March 28. The winners were as follows: boy’s readings, first Joseph Taylor, second, Wilmer Anheuser, third, William Hemmen; girl’s readings, first, Alice Schlinger, second, Faye Oechsle, third, Doris Joseph ; piano solo, first, Lorene Logan, second, Russell Lesher, third, Catherine Budina; girls’ solo, first, Katherine Willard, second, Hortense Joseph, third, Mabel Begole; boy’s solo, first, Roger Hemmer, second, Joseph Taylor, third, Gustave Budina; violin solo, first, Margaret Ritchie, second, Laverne Hemmer; extemporaneous speaking, first, Bernetta Joseph, second. Iris Thomp- son; oration, first, Elmo Joseph, second, Estel Smith, third, Leroy Brendel. It is needless to say that we are proud of our intellectual record. The school year of 1929-’30, has indeed been a credit to even such an intellectual record as O’Fallon already has. After ending a successful season of debate and the smoke had cleared away from our hard fought local contest, we wound up the year by winning first place in the county contest for the fourth consecutive time and first place in the McKendree invitational meet for the second time. The 1930 county contest was held at Lebanon on April 19th. At the beginning of the year Mr. Hinchcliff warned us on numerous occa- sions that the other schools of the conference were “out for our scalps”, and so it proved to be. The meet was more closely contested than ever before, O’Fallon winning by one point. The scores of the winning schools are as follows: O’Fallon 23; Lebanon 22; Mascoutah 21. The first five points were contributed by the debate team. In the East Wing of the conference we tied with Mascoutah in the first debate of the season, the affirmative of each school winning by a judges de- cision of 2-1. In the second debate our negative team won 2-1 over Lebanon, while the affirmative won 3-0. After Lebanon defeated Mas- coutah, O'Fallon had the greatest number of judges points and was eligible to meet Freeburg, the winners of the other wing, for first place in the conference. Of course the Blue and Old Gold won. The mem- bers of the negative team were: Leroy Brendel, Iris Thompson and Bernetta Joseph. On the affirmative were: Elmo Joseph, Alice Behr- ens, and Alice Hinchcliff. These were all awarded gold medals at the county meet. Other medal winners in the county contest (from O'Fallon) were: Roger Hemmer, third in boys’ solo; Joe Taylor, first in boys' reading: the boys’ quartette,c onsisting of Joe Taylor, William Koch. Grant Wil- lard, and Russell Lesher, won first place; Lorene Logan, second in piano solo; Margaret Ritchie, third in violin solo; Bernetta Joseph, second in extemporaneous speaking. It is quite a distinction that our school has twice won the grand intellectual trophy in the McKendree meet. There are always more than fifty schools represented in this meet and it is considered an honor to even place a single entry- O’Fallon had a total of twelve points while Granite City and Freeburg had ten points each. Our medal winners Thirty-nine i are: Boys’ quartette, composed of the same members as the county win- ners, first place; Roger Hemmer, second in boys’ solo; girls’ quartette, consisting of Katherine Willard, Alice Hinchcliff, Alice Clark, and Hor- tense Joseph, third place; Joe Taylor, second in boys’ reading. Included with the many other things that have gone to make up our successful school year is our typing record. In the county contest held at Belleville, March 29, Evelyn Winter was awarded second place for novice individual typing. On April 26 we were again represented in the district contest held at East St. Louis. A team, consisting of Evelyn Winter, Ruby Weil, Arnold Lurtz, and Margaret Schachner, won second place. First place in novice individuals went to Evelyn Winter, which entitled her to compete in the sectional contest at Staun- ton. At Staunton, May 10, our star typist, Evelyn Winter, again brought honor ,o her school by winning second place, which entitled her to rep- resent us In the state contest held at Normal, Illinoi, May 17. Evelyn is indeed a remarkable typist, considering that she has had but one year of typing, and we are looking forward to her winning the state championship in novice or first year typing. Any beginner who can type over sixty words per minute has great possibilities, as the record in that event last year was but 67.8 words per minute.

In the beginning athletics were established in the high school for the purpose of promoting better health and better physical training throughout the whole school. They were meant to be a benefit and an enjoyment to every student and not to a picked few who really do not need the training as badly as a lot of others. In the 1929 edition of the World Book the whole discourse on high school athletics is actually summed up by the following outline: (1) Discontent with facilities (2) Exalting the athlete (3) Lack of training for those who need it (4) Wrong use of gymnasium (5) Why girls need athletic exercise It is therefore quite obvious in the minds of those intelligent people that high school athletics for the most part are wrongly conducted and are of little mutual benefit to the students. It is indeed true that in late years most high school have been prone to specialize in interscholastic athletics and to neglect this branch of activity in regard to the whole student body. At the beginning of the year all pupils are urged to try out for the various teams. The best developed and physically strongest make the team. What happens to those who are not strong and who need physical training? They are mostly crowded to the sidelines as spectators and probably never see a basketball, a baseball, a football, or a pair of track shoes again. The gymnasiums are seldom used for anything except to train the small group that compose the standing squad. Even a taint of professionalism has entered high school athletics and very often young men enter high school with the sole purpose of “making the team”. These persons, if very efficient, seldom acquire much intellectual advantage and very often have their grades donated to them in order to keep them on the team. In fact inter-scholastic ath- letics have come to be held above inter-scholastic intellectuals and “making the team” has come to be the students only road to distinction. All this does not mean that inter-scholastic games are an evil. The lessons of sportsmanship, the spirit of contest, and the mental training that the player gains from the game will be invaluable to him in life. Any thing which cultivates a love for the alma mater or a spirit of pulling together cannot be an evil. What we must bear in mind is the idea of moderation in all things. The neglecting of girls’ athletics is the most apalling situation of all. Accurate statistics show that one-third of the girls w'ho graduate from high school have curvature of the spine, or uneven shoulders, or stand in a bad position, or have too much flesh, or too little. This same research also shows that a very large percentage of these defects are caused by lack of physical training rather than by high heeled shoes or other restriction of dress. We are proud to say that these evils exist in our school to a very small degree. Every student who desires physical education is amply Forty-four QEBnEBSiMQESsBEBEnQ MaaasEiM ESiMaannaaQsnBKiaQQQBGKiEaaEiiranQnnanQOB aEET; a H b provided for. Girls share alike with boys in this branch, with the ex- ception of maintaining an inter-scholastic squad, which is not consid- ered advisable. Competent instructors are hired and we always try to have a good team. Our school is remarkable in the fact that in no wise is prowess in athletics held above those of intellectuals by the student body. In fact the reverse seems to be true. Our intellectual record stands above our athletic record, which does not mean that our athletic record is poor, and the participants are as highly regarded. In short, we would like to have Mr. M. V. O’Shea, the editor in chief of the new World Book, visit O. T. H. S. and see that there is at least one high school in which there is no discontent with facilities, the athlete is not exalted above the winner of intellectual honors, where the wreak are given a chance at the game as well as the strong, where the gymnasium is not wrongly used, or the girls too fat or lean on ac- count of a lack of mutual athletics in the high school. —Estel Smith. Athletic Editor. B g “ALL AROUND BASKETBALL” g I g B Forty-five g B BASKETBALL Although the team won but eight out of sixteen games played, they put up some mighty good fights and won several contests over strong teams. Coach Morris, who is serving his second year with us was a con- scientious worker with the boys and developed some mighty good ma- terial for next season. One outstanding product of Mr. Morris’ coaching is the high type of sportsmanship the boys displayed at all times. Not once during the season was a player on our team ejected from a game on account of poor sportsmanship or deliberate fouling and visiting teams were always well received by both the team and the student body. Three players, Joe Taylor, Russell Lesher, and Bernard Taylor are wearing the Blue and Old Gold for their last season. All were first string men and dependable players whose loss will certainly be felt by next year’s squad. Those who received honorary letters this year are: Joe Taylor, Russell Lesher, Bernard Taylor, Edgar Niederecker, Eldon Harris, Clarence Llewellyn, Adolph Ambry, and Oscar Cox. Two of these men, Joe Taylor and Russell Lesher, have received their fourth letter in basketball. BATTLES OF THE SEASON O’Fallon 14—Alumni 13 A goodly number of ex-basketballers turned out for the game and practically every one of them played at one time or another, but they couldn’t seem to stand the pace. The score was significant in that it was a reversal of the previous season's Alumni game, in which the vet- erans triumphed by one point. O’Fallon 21—New Athens 5 The boys started off on the right foot and kept a safe margin on the score board throughout the game. Lesher was high point man with four field goals. The game was rather slow and uninteresting but O’Fallon was only preparing for bigger game. O’Fallon 32—Troy 13 At the end of the first half Troy was leading 9 to 8. In the second half little “Jimmie” got his eye on the hoop and sank six field goals while Joe came in with four. Troy tried their whole squad but the Blue and Old Gold was not to be stopped. Chester 23—O’Fallon 15 Without a doubt Chester came over purely for a pre-season prac- tice game, and with less doubt they received all the practice they de- sired for one evening. O’Fallon was never far in the rear and more than once threatened the opponents score. Coach Morris used his second string for the first quarter and finished with the regulars. O’Fallon 18—'Mascoutah 15 It was with great pleasure that we trounced one of our keenest conference rivals. Mascoutah was never in the lead except for a few seconds in the first quarter but they kept a few jumps behind for the rest of the game and the fans received plenty of thrills. It was the first conference game of the season and our hopes ran high, but alas-! O’Fallon 18—Red Bud 9 Still groaning with Thanksgiving turkey the boys journeyed to Red Bud on a zero night, accompanied by a small group of fans. The game was rather slow and uninteresting with few goals and many substitu- tions. Lesher was high point man, making but seven points. § Forty-six g BBaonnnnaaQaBanananQBBBBannnDnaisiyBBaBaaaEeaBBnnnaBBSEBQSiBiBaBBBEEsesEKanam ts S New Baden 31—O’Fallon 11 A large number of fans accompanied the boys to New Baden for their second conference game of the season. The opposing team was tall and large and though our boys had superior floor work the long New Badens had a better eye for the basket and piled up score after score. A curtain raiser between the second teams of each school result- ed as disastrously, the reserves losing 22 to 8. Probably one cause of our defeat was the absence of our old standby Joe Taylor, who was unable to play. Madison 35—O’Fallon 19 Madison, champions of the conference for both ’29 and ’30, inflict- ed the third loss of the season. However, the unbalanced score does not do justice to the fast game that resulted. Plenty of scoring was done by both teams and our boys worked some neat plays. Lebanon 20—O’Fallon 14 Many students and townspeople followed the team into the den on our habitual rivals, Lebanon. The game was hard fought throughout and a little rough, Lebanon having two men removed on personals and O’Fallon one. The score was constantly being tied and the outcome was in doubt until the final whistle blew. Our reserves lost in a pre- liminary 21 to 7. Dupo 31—O’Fallon 12 The fourth consecutive conference defeat came from Dupo, anoth- er strong conference team. Dupo finally ran in their second team but O’Fallon was too far behind to catch up. The game ended with the boys still showing the old fight and doing their best against the odds. O’Fallon 20—Aviston 15 Just when we were about to despair the team got back into its stride and defeated the fast Aviston team in an interesting game. After being out of several games on account of illness Joe Taylor accounted for himself with nine points. Lesher was high man with thirteen points. Mascoutah 41—O’Fallon 31 The game started with Mascoutah sinking several set-ups in a row. Mr. Morris then substituted Ambry for Neiderecker, who was unaccus- tomed to his new position as guard and things went smoother. When the Mascoutah crowd started “razzing” Lesher, the boy got mad and hung up eighteen points in very short order. O’Fallon 3C—Trov 5 For the second time in the season we triumphed over Troy by a de- cisive score. The reserves all got a chance and they continued to pile up the score. Lesher came through with another sixteen points. Carlyle 28—O’Fallon 16 The “Kaskaskians” had no easy game in spite of what the unbal- anced score might indicate. Llewellyn’s guarding prevented several otherwise easy scores while Joe sank three long ones that helped a lot. New Baden 18—O’Fallon 7 Our reserves avenged their crushing defeat received on New Baden’s floor by trouncing their second team 14 to 8. In a rough game that followed the regulars lost the one that really counted. All of our points except two were free throws. Nashville 26—O’Fallon 16 Still unable to shake the iinx the boys suffered another defeat on the home floor. Joe was out of the line-up again but his place was well filled by Harris. Nashville sank several long ones that made it bad for us.

Freeburg 27—O’Fallon 24 The outcome was constantly in doubt and it wras one of those kind that is hard to lose. It seems that all of our conference games have been jinxes. In a curtain raiser the seconds lost by another close score 3 11 to 4. A return game was lost 28 to 25. Lebanon 18 O’Fallon 16 After leading our rivals for practically the whole game and with victory just in sight Dame Fortune’s half sister, Miss Fortune smiled on us and Lebanon sank an accidental shot that tied the score just before the final gun. In an overtime period the newly inspired Lebanon players rushed our defense for another goal and then succeeded in stalling the rest of the time out. We also lost the preliminary 29 to 14. Carlyle 38—O’Fallon 16 In a return game the powerful Kaskaskians inflicted a second de- feat of the season by another overwhelming score. The game was a little rough, O’Fallon making eight of her points on foul shots. Dupo 48—O’Fallon 16 Another conference game gone to the dogs! The outstanding player of the game was Morris of Dupo wTio scored twenty-six points, while Neiderecker made a good showing for O’Fallon with twelve points. O’Fallon 23—Red Bud 20 In their return game the visitors lost in a closely contested battle which gave us two victories over them for the season. It was the last scheduled game before the district tournament at Belleville, in which O’Fallon drew Belleville for the first game of the tourney. DISTRICT TOURNEY Belleville 49—O’Fallon 15 Belleville, with high hopes of going to the finals, eliminated the smaller school with little difficulty. However, our old rivals, Lebanon, later eliminated Belleville but lost in the finals to Sparta by a decisive score. Since we did not win we would have liked to see Lebanon come out ahead. BASEBALL 1929 The season of ’29 was rather unsuccessful. The team lost every game played but some were by close scores. As the book goes to press the ’30 baseball team is going into stiff practice in preparation for what promises to be an unusually good sea- son. Most of the candidates are veteran players and are showing some good form and speed. A new and larger conference has been organized, of which Mr. Morris is secretary and treasurer. Following is the schedule for the coming ’30 season: Date School Where Played April 3 .......................New Athens...................Here April 18 ......................New Baden....................Here April 25 ......................Marissa......................Here May 9..........................Freeburg ....................Here May 16.........................Dupo ........................Here May 23.........................Lebanon ....................There May 29.........................Mascoutah....................Here Forty-nine g 0 i 1 § TRACK AND FIELD 1929 § The track boys gave a good account of themselves last season, win- ning second place in the county track and field meet. The meet was | won by Lebanon. The honors are as follows: g Wilford Eckert ran first in 440-yard dash, first in 220-yard low § hurdles, and won third in discus throw. A relay team consisting of § Leonard Hall, Wilford Eckert, Joe Taylor, and Adolph Ambry received § third place. g The school was represented in the McKendree meet but failed to g place in anything. | BASEBALL 1930 § Just as the Annual is going to press we are able to report (favor- § ably) on the first two games of the 1930 season. The team has won g two games and shown great possibilities for a successful season. Our b southpaw, Orville Zimmermann, is having some great success at the § mound while the infield is backing him wonderfully. Pop-flies have not been very numerous and on a few occasions the crowds have been g thrilled by some long swats. g At the present time the First Nine consists of the following players: b Adolph Ambry, short stop: Russell Lesher, center field; Paul Feder, § left field; Bernard Taylor, right field; Wilmer Anheuser, second base; Eldon Harris, third base; Oscar Cox, first base. The pitching staff con- g sists, for the most part, of Orville Zimmermann and Joe Taylor. The g catchers box is equally shared by Clarence Llewellyn and Russell Funk. Three dependable reserves are Russell Kuehn. Glenn Lawrence, and § Leslie Dickinson. § The first game of the season was won on the home diamond by a g rally in the last inning over a 3 to 1 lead held by New Athens. The g visitors also had a left handed pitcher who carried plenty of “stuff” but b the boys soon found him out. When the game ended the score card showed eight hits for O’Fallon against seven for New Athens. The day g was saved when Coach Morris sent in some pinch hitters. In revenge for the crushing basketball defeats inflicted on us dur- ing the last season by New Baden the Blue and Old Gold swept them B off their feet to the tune of 9 to 1. New Baden had an excellent pitcher § but he was poorly backed by the infield. However, our hitters netted g nine hits while “Zimmie” held the opponents to two. ¥ g Fifty I QBaBBQBBnOBBGBQEQeSBSMQGanOQBBBQQnOBBBQQQBBQZSinQQBBQEaBQEiSlQQQEBBaQBBMrj G. A. A. PARTY February 28, the Girls’ Athletic Association held a party in the gym. A very delightful evening was spent in various forms of amuse- ment. However, some of the girls were forced to come to school the following day with stiff necks due to the balloon race. After the games all retired to the foods laboratory which was decorated in a pink and white color scheme. There a delicious lunch- eon was served, after which all departed for home in order that they might not be dull in their classes the next morning. SENIOR SKETCH The great mystery that had enveloped the High School for a week was finally solved when the Seniors presented a Thanksgiving Sketch. The scenes were typical of the first Thanksgiving and the actors were as nearly like those of the Pilgrim days as possible. Of course, the whole affair was planned by Mr. Hinchcliff down to the chicken supper that was served afterward. Mr. Morris divulged his weakness for pumpkin pie by getting more than his share. JEANETTE’S KID PARTY The Senior girls were entertained at the home of Jeanette Young with a kid party. The dignified Seniors returned to their childhood days and arrived at the party attired in costumes befitting the occasion. The evening was spent in frolicking about as “kids” are wont to do. After eating their large suckers and breaking their balloons, the sleepy little Senior girls journeyed homeward where they were quietly tucked in bed by their fond mothers. JUNIOR BOX SOCIAL February 16, the Juniors held a box social in the gym in order that they might obtain money for the annual Senior “feed”. It was whis- pered afterward that the Junior boys were forced to play “Scotch” for the ensuing week. DUTCH’S SURPRISE PARTY Dutch Lesher was indeed surprised when the Senior Class broke in on his orchestra practice with a surprise party. Since it was St. Patrick’s Day the rooms were decorated in a green color scheme, and each member of the party was given a Shamrock. The evening was spent playing games after which we were favored by several selections from the orchestra. A tasty luncheon was served and at a favorable hour all departed reporting a good time. DOROTHEA’S PARTY The Senior boys proved their ability to keep secrets when they surprised the girls at their club meeting Monday night. Just as they were getting ready to start the card game, in paraded the Senior boys bedecked in their Sunday toggery. It was indeed a surprise to all, in- cluding the hostess, whose mother had planned the whole affair. After playing cards and partaking of a delightful luncheon, the Seniors motored home all reporting a most delightful evening.
