We realize that this Volume is not perfect, but the staff has worked hard to record truthfully the deeds of the past with the hopes of the present. If in years to come this vol- ume should stir pleasant mem- ories of high school days in the hearts and minds of the students, we feel that all our efforts will have been rewarded. lll r s -- fl A4 nnIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIII ontents 1 MU Il Ill Q hmm lui XlIlInULx H1 mm --lllll I 'Illin- Ilv Iiczlliwu ..,........,........ 4 If: I Ity ............,..........

HARDIN l 6 THE CHARLEMO ,AA AA AAAA THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING The dreams of a new High School Building have come true. A mucn needed necessity has been added to the beauty of the town and the elliiciency of the educational system. No longer are the students cramped in very small quarters-in fact too small to be called a high school-but are enjoying a nice, large, well-equipped building which the taxpayers of St. Charles have so graciously seen ht to give us. But it meant work to put this idea across-to fulfill this prophecy of 11 new High School. Two times the proposition was submitted to the people for vote, and two times it was miserably defeated. Still, however, the students, the School Board, and Dr. Hardin kept right on the job. and fought for the thing which was so much needed. So it was voted on again, and this time it carried. ' The students fully appreciate this luxury which has been bestowed upon them by the taxpayers of St. Charles, and particularly appreciative are they of the large auditorium which is a wonderful advantage not only for assemblies but other public occasions as well. This new building has not only made the students more comfortable, but it has increased their efficiency in both studies and activities to a noticeable degree. v-v v- v-v -v' v-v -v -vq -v -v ' -v v-v vv' ACULT f THE CHARLEMO M .A xA.A A-4 A-A -.A -- A.- -v- .A A .

It has resulted in the preparation of the Senior Class to graduate. On first thought, the motto may seem to some as merely a standard of living, rather than the synibolical meaning which it embodies. Everyone, by past experience, knows that success can be attained only through honest endeavor, and that the price of success is often failure. Failure is not always a calamity, or something to be ashamed of. Cf course therelare two kinds of failures. There is the one kind of failure that everyone avoids, namely, the never-do-anything, let-Georgevdo-it, I-can't-do-it kind. The other kind of failure is in reality not a failure, but a case of bad luck. This failure that T speak of is the kind where honest efforts have been employed and where there has been at least a fair trial, but Fate has been on the job. A real honest-to-goodness failure is better than an illvgotten success. Of course we welcome, most cordially, the successful man. The man who has really done something to make this world a better and more desirable place in which to live. lt would be well to remember, at this time, the old proverb: As ye have sown, so shall ye also reap . lf we do not make a fair trial to win life's battle can we expect to attain success? lt is not only the business man or the professional man who must light his battles against Fate, but right here in high school-St. Charles High School-fthe students have their own perplexities and troubles to battle with, no matter how small or trivial they may be. llut to get back to subjects-how can this motto help the students to do better work? The answer is simply this: lt instills in the hearts of the students the desire to work for what they get and teaches them that if they are unwilling to apply themselves, they will not get out of life what the more studious person will derive. Nothing can be done all at once. The tower of success cannot be climbed in one leap-it must be climbed by the steps-one at a time. Though it may seem a long and tiresome jour- ney, what feeling can be more comforting than that great feeling of success? So, fellow Seniors, let us remember this motto which we so willingly followed all through our high school career, and even though our tasks may be hard, tiresome, and subject to the opinion of the masses. let us be untiring in our work, and let us, one and all. remeinber- There is no elevator to the tower of success. TAKE THE STEPS V V vw vvl sv-v -v-iv viv1vvi vi vw -vv' 34 THE CHARLEMO ' I IAQ iAA .A.AiA. NAM - ,AA f-A N EDUCATION Education has existed and has been vitally necessary since time im- memorial. The people of Bible times knew its powerg the early ligyptian civilization used it: indeed all ages have been marked by education. The Egyptians, with their crude papyrus scrolls, their heiroglyphics,f- the Greeks and Romans with their transcriptions on stone-the Indians with their crude wood carvings,-all crude forms, it is true, but nevertheless a basic foundation of our present, modernized form of education. Hut. just who is the educated man? This question has long been an important one. We have the book-learned, the experience lover. the nature observer, the star-gazer, the Sun-worshiper, the business-man. All of these are educated persons representing different beliefs, different periods, different customs, and different traditions. llut too often education is ridiculed: is made light of. Too often the really educated man is spoken of as the white-collared man , or the college- fllijllflii. The type, however, that most generally speaks of the educated man in such a disrespectful way is the uneducated, ill-bred person. Tn by-gone days, the educated man was one who sat behind the desk or had the easy job. However, this fact is no longer true. The educated man of today is the man who fits in anywhereg who is capable of handling any positiong who gives to the world the most and asks for the least in return. The man who succeeds in einassing the largest fortune is not the edu- cated man. lf he were, education would be useless. The man who gives the man who gives the most and does the most to make this world a de- sirable place in which to live is the educated man. Edison completely revolutionized industry with his invention of the incandescent lamp and his various other applications of electricity. Did he do this for compensation? Most certainly not: he was endowed with and inspired by that feeling which all truly great men haveg the desire to give something for the cause of humanity. XYhat can be more inspiring than to see the late Charles Steinmetz, the celebrated electrical expert, working from morning until night in his labor- atory tsriving to perfect some new device which would help this world? Think of harnessing the great Niagara Falls and turning this heretofore wasted water into electrical energy through the medium of modern inven- tions. Yet, just such feats as this have been accomplished by educated men. Mr. Steinmetz received no salary save reimbursements to defray his personal expenses in conducting experiments in electricity in his laboratory. Yet he could have commanded a handsome salary: he would have been al- lowed. in fact he was even persuaded, to name his salary, but financial gains were not what he desired. Un the other hand, he possessed the desire to de- velop the world and to help his fellow-men. Such men as Steinmetz are the I vv vw v vsfl vv vv vvv-diva i l THE CHARLEMO 35 FQ! ,.... A A 5' A ones who have really helped humanity. The educated men who have done great things. Pldueation will never eeaseg it will go on and on through the ages, as the mill-wheel goes round and round. lt is something which, when once obtained. eannot be destroyed or taken away. People will keep it and will get more of it as time passes. Education will exist as long as humanity exists, and all the xvorld's progress will be regulated by it. All the lires of hate and destruction cannot conquer itg it is as immovable as the Roek of Gibraltar itself. The everlasting' tlame of Liberty shall guard this treasure and preserve it so that our posterity may be benefited by it as the past and present gen- erations haveg so that they may be able to make even greater progress than we haveg so that demoeraey and liberty may be made safe from future sav- agesg from less enlightened countries. n. . l ,,,,,, , I v'v v'v vAv W'v 'v vAv V 'kV Y N' XV'Y 'virA 'xii H? J w 36 THE CHARLEMO IT alas T A:M.saWv, 1 A A M ' ORGANIZATIONS liducation and amusement go hand-in-hand, neither is complete without the other. ln the olden days, education was looked upon in a ditlerent light from that in which it is viewed at the present time. The students were drilled constantly in reading, writing, and arithmetic, but the amusements or recreation of the common institution of learning were few. Science, however, has proved that there must be another factor in edu- cation. Amusements not only give to the student a diversion but they also help him to get better acquainted and to take more part in the activities of the school. ln the high school we have, in the way of amusement and recreation, organizations, such as the girl scouts, dramatic societies, home-economics clubs, glee clubs, and so on. Formerly the boys had a greater amount of recreation than the girls, but since the establishment of the various societies and organizations, the girls are now able to take part in affairs heretofore barred. The literary societies give the members a more extended view of art and classics in their various phases. Appearances before audiences is also en- couraged in the participants. The dramatic society gives to the boy and girl members an opportunity to appear in public and it also discovers and develops histrionic ability. The girl scouts, a comparatively new organization in St. Charles High School, is accomplishing much, and is making rapid strides in getting the girls together and affording them recreation. The home-economics clubs are equally as important as the rest. They give the girl an opportunity to learn more of the arts of housekeeping, and are a medium through which new ideas are constantly conveyed from per- son to person. These organizations are not established merely for the purpose of re- creation and amusement, but, on the other hand, they are training the stu- dents for later liie, not only physically but mentally as well. St. Charles High is growing with a magnitude which is not to go un- noticed. The number of our organizations will be steadily increased to such an extent that every boy and girl of every type and disposition will be given an opportunity to develop his talents along specific lines. Hut let us develop those organizations which we have, and then work for those which are to come in later years. Let us develop St. Charles High and help all our students to become better acquainted and to estab- lish more organizations with which to train both our minds and bodies. V or N We f -M 12 ff f' THE CHARLEMO 37 w 4 AA WA AA AA .4 'sins MTHE CAPTAIN OF THE DEVIL-FISIP' CA Sea Storyj How did I get to be Captain of the Devil-Fish ? repeated Big Bill, the skipper, as he stood against the bar, in a little New York Inn where I first made his acquaintance. Well , said he, in answer to my query, It's a long story, but if you want to hear it, all rightn. Along in 1875, when New York was nothing compared to what it is now, I used to live close to the harbor. My 'ole man was a eobbler by trade, and I never got much education because he was so poor and I often had to help him make a livin'. But, he was ever' inch a man Qproudlyj and I know that he done his best by us kids. They was five kids in the family: three boys and two girls. Most of us had to work at somethin'. The girls helped Ma do the house-work and the other two boys worked at odd jobs, whenever they turned up. XYe never had much of a house, but what we had was good enough for me and it was always good and clean, anyway. As I said, I helped the 'ole man in his shop, however, making shoes never did appeal to me. I went to school off and on-but mostly when I felt like it. I went long enough to get a smatterin, of readin', writin', and lrithmetic, and got enough educa- tion to read books that I liked. Seein' that I lived pretty near the harbor, I naturally was interested in boats. Qften I would sneak away from the shop and go down to the wharf and watch the boats go out to sea. I'd sit there and watch ever' move they'd make, and lld even go so far as to imagine I was Captain and barkin' orders at the men. There was one boat I had a perticular interest in, and that was the Devil- Fish. She was a big, black lookin' ship with riggin' and top-sails standin, out like they was ,most heavy enough to make her topple. She had a crew of some thirty or forty menf-and believe me they was hard guys. All big, raw-boned men as would rather fight than eat and the Captain was biggerin' all of them put together. I can remember just as well the Captain standin' up on the bridge a barkin' his orders, that sounded to me like a sea lion, or I should say, a bunch of 'em. Iyd sit there an' see 'em unload their cargoes with block and tackle a creakin, an' the men swearin' and goin' on something fierce. It was all music to my ears tho: how I wished that I was one of their number. Little did I expect that I was goin' to be, sooner than I even expected. I often read sea-stories too, an' believe me I didn't read 'em like most kids-just for pastime. I read 'em because I liked 'em. and I put myself right into the story. At this time I was nigh onto nineteen years old. I had never sailed any of the ships because I was afraid to leave the wharf. You see my 'ole man v We W -' iQ1tn'5'imr W smnrimm 38 THE CHARLEMO lil kept pretty good watch over me. Although he was good to us kids and all, he was also strict: and many's the time I got a good talkin' to because I was so shiftless and lazy. VX ell, one day when I came home towards evenin' after layin' about the wharf 'most all day, my 'ole man was powerful mad. He vowed that he'd tend to me if I didn't stay home and help him more. XVell, as I said before, shoes wasn't in my line, and I didn't 'tend to be bothered with 'em. So one thing brought on 'nother till I got sore--awful sore-and vowed I was goin' to leave home. I was tired of stayin' around all the time anyhow. I just naturally had to go to sea, somehow, so that night about ll o'clock, I packs up my grip and skips. It just happens that the DevilAFish was in harbor on this perticular night and I makes for it quick like. XVell, I meets the Captain staggerin' down the gang-plank about half drunk, and I walks right up to him and states my busniess, real brief like. The Captain he kinda laughs in a husky voice and says, XVanta go to sea, eh? XYhereupon I replies in an equally husky voice, Them's just about my feelins', sir. XYell, the Captain slaps me hard-like on the chest, feels my arms with his vise-like hands and then speaks up and says, you'll do. Report to the first mate and tell 'im to show you a bunk. The mate shows me my bunk and gives me the interestin' and official knowledge that I'm the new cabin-boy, until the Captain kills me like he done the other one. The next day finds me out swabbin' decks just as hard as I can. I looks around and am confronted with the pleasin' aspect of bein' far out at sea. I must a' slept so sound the nite before that she slipt outa the harbor before I knew it. But this didn't bother me none. I just says to myself: Ain't this just what you been waitin' for, tho ? XVell. l just sits down on the caboose for a spell and looks around me to see if land is still in sightg we musta' been travelin' for quite a while, tho, for I couldn't see land nowhere. I remains there gazin' out over the billowy waves and enjoyin' myself, when I get a creepy feelin' like somethin' big was real near me, just about to make a grab. I looks up and there stands the Captain a swayin' unsteady on his big, flat feet. Did I say Captain? XYell I shoulda said monster, for monster he was. Honest! To this day I ain't ever seen anything as ugly as that Captain. A big, burly, two-hsted thing, weighing about two hundred pounds, with a face which would scare a wild cat out of his hide-that was him. He just stands there a smirkin' with his ugly mouth and then, all of a sudden he shoots a great, hairy paw out to grab my shoulder. But, believe me, he grabbed where I had just been. I just steps aside and looks at him kinda questioninf He utters a roar and says, Avast there you lubber. Layin' down on the job are ye? I'll teach ye. And with that he socks me a wicked left just at the nose. Vtfell, that's one place that's soft on my map, YNVNMWVN A r6X1r6YlViYl A VNVSGVN o P01 a A A A VA1PfA1 K'm1VirI THE CHARLEMO 39 ... .... t... ....-,. ' and no foolini. I seen at a glance that I wasn't no match for the Cap'n, but as far's size, wellxl wasn't no baby. W'hat with my six feet of height and 170 pounds of bone and muscle, I wasn't goin, to stand there and let this big walrus use me for a punchin' bag. Besides I'm descended from Iightin' stock, so I just hauls oft before the Cap'n notices it and busts him a good 'un along the jaw. Hell, that hit ahiects him about as much as a little kitten cuffin' a big St. Ilernard. He just rushes at me with a roar and shoots a series of short jabs to different parts of my 'natomy. I tries to hold him off, but I seen I wasn't makin' it interestin, enough. All this time I keeps backin' up towards the ship's side. The Cap'n sees this and gets a fool no- tion that he's goin' to chuck me overboard and send me to Davy jones' Locker. But all of a sudden I reaches for a belayin' pin, and gives the Cap'n a crack over the head, and the next minute I got a bunch of the happiest guys you ever seen hangin' around me. lookin' down at the prostrate form of our skipper. XYeIl, to tell the truth I was some seairt, 'n still I was glad, toofglad that I'd stuck up for my rights. The way them loons danced aroun' there -well. you wouldn't think they cared much for their leader, and to tell the truth they didn't either. Four men grabbed hold of the Cap'n and carried him to his cabin. One of 'em poured some brandy down his throat, and then they all beat it. They wasn't going to commit suicide by stayin' there and watchin' him wake up. Xkell, I just goes along with my work as though nothin' had happened. I don't see the Cap'n for a coupla daysg guessed I musta done 'im up good while I was at it. I keeps on a doin' up the work and swabbin' the decks. I sure did make some friends, though, believe me. liven when I would pass the lirst mate, he'd always smile at me. I soon found out that the mate and the Cap'n didn't get along good together. and neither did any of the others, fir that matter. Ifinally, after about three days of convalescence. the Cap'n comes up on deck. I meets him right away-man to man- or should I say man to dog? XYell. I ain't throwin' bouquets to myself, but the Cap'n didn't get fresh with ine. Ile just screws his map up into an ugly scowl and bellers, I'Il get even with you, you---, and saunders on. Iiverythin' goes line after that and I gets to like the sea better and bet- ter. XYe made regular trips and I soon got to see my folks and I made it all right with them. In fact, after a while, my IIa says I done best by goin' to sea. Says I wouIdn't a made anything in New York, anyhow. XX'ell, time passes, and I makes history for myself and the Devil-Fish. In the course of a coupla' years the second mate dies, givin' me the chance to pace the deck and bark orders. The Cap'ns' grudge never gave 'way, but we had much in common. In fact, we drank grog outa the same jug sometimes: but I could see that he's waitin' his chance to get even.

NYell, more time passes. I made some more history, and blowed if the first mate dou't up an' die, so there ain't nothin' else for me to do but to fill this capacity. I gets pretty big feelin' now that I'm second in command and I notices that the Cap'n is gettin' sorta sullen and I can tell now that's only a matter of time till the deadly serpent strikes. VVell, now I'm getting to the main issueela glass of beer, INlatey.j ri: 21: :af rx: It was a powerful stormy night and the wind was blowin' a gale. The sky had a sort of a green look that ever' seaman fears. I could see that the Cap'n vvasn't feelin' at all gay. Ile was standin' up by the caboose a barkin' orders and actin like he didn't have his right mind. I goes down to the fo'c'sle and dons my sou'wester and when I comes up on deck again I hnds it just swimniin' with crested waves. I sees that somethin's got to be done real quick because the old Devil- lfish was rockin' and rollin' somethin' awful. I knew that she was carryin' too much sail, but blowed if there wasn't the Cap'n shoutin' to the men to 'lcarry on, so's to bring her around. lX'ell, I sees that wouldn't do, so I bellers, close-reef with all my strength. lt just looked like the men didn't know what to dog they just stepped around in each other's way. The Cap'n he gets furious and bellers over to me, X'v'ho's Cap'n of this ship ? I don't pay no attention to him whatsoever, but keeps on givin' orders. Hy this time the men was comin' to their senses, and beginnin' to haul in sail. I struggles over to help 'ein when I hears a hoarse cry over 'near the star-bid side. I looks just in time to see a big Wave Wash the Cap'n from his position on the rail, overboard and I knew that he was goin' to Davy jones' Locker, XX'ell, l knew that we couldn't of saved him had we a wanted to, so I goes around helpin' haul in sail. The storm was now gettin' near a crisis and the Devil-Fish was ridin' on a more even keel, since we had close-reefed her. 'lihen the mate comes over an' reports that the coxswain had her well in hand. XX'ell, at first I thought we was goin' to have to man the life boats, but after the Cap'n was washed overboard we got her pretty well in hand. After the gale had passed and she was ridin' an even keel, I goes down the companion-way into the cabin, sits down in the Cap'n's chair, nominates myself C'ap'n and very modestly accepts. li then very solmenly swears myself in, officially records it on the books and then caps the climax With a good round of brandy. And that's how I got to be Captain of the Devil-Fish, concludes Big Bill. tTurning to the bar-keeperj Another glass of beer, matey.

Byron Rector Roy Peyton First Alternative Second Alternative Margaret Dyer Thelma Finch Miss Chandler, Coach The 1923-1924 Debating team has participated in two debates, both away from St. Charles, on the state question: Resolved: That the commis- sion-manager plan of municipal government should be adopted in Missouri cities of less than 100,000 population. The Hirst debate was held with Montgomery City High School at Mont- gomery City. Byron Rector and Roy Peyton upheld the alfirmative side for St. Charles and the decision was unanimous in their favor. St. Charles debaters next went to Bowling Green, Missouri. This time, however, fate was against them. They were unfortunate in having to change to the negative side and Bowling Green won a unanimous decision from the judges. Although the defeat at Bowling Green eliminated St. Charles from further contest in the State series, much credit is due the team as it was practically new in the art of debating and made a very creditable showing, in the debates in which it participated. Although both of this year's teams are being graduated, we hope that the student body next year will see to it that St. Charles is again represented in the debating field. xEKd r X . ,.,, .. eh Q y if r W W gi... ,.,-4 -- - - THLETIC fi .li ..R g' V ,,i! - -1-Y Q- g 'Tri --' YW- ff, Y -- .W - V , 2 f f G29 --3,,..v THE CHARLEMQ ss MLM A -.-. -- -A -4 ATHLETICS -Xthletics includes the many sports that are played in high schools and colleges. Many young people compete in the various sports, and the traits that they develop in these various athletic events are most essential to be successful in later life. Doctor Charters has enumerated some of the characteristics by which to determine a strong persoiiality. 1 shall quote these qualities and give their relation to athletics in general. ln order to become a successful athlete a person must have AMBI- 'l'fOlX'. lf a person has not a sufficient amount of ambition, the qualities he has for doing things will never come to the surface. Successful people never become such over night. but as athletes, they develop it through pesistence and patience. Success in athletics as well as in any other undertaking is attained through industry. ln athletics you learn team work, and are assigned a dehnite task to pcrformg this develops dependability. Xlihen a task has been assigned it requires energy to execute it, here forcefulness is developed. Often, in athletic contests, keen competition is experienced. This phase of it builds up self-confidence. All coaches of athletics advocate friendliness to your contemporaries. This, however. is often difficult, but when it is once overcome it gives you the tendency to show friendliness to all your fellow men. ln various sports there are many positions to be filled, and many times one person must be able to take care of different ones. Experiences like this brings forth adaptability, to be successful in the various places tact is required. Athletes often meet difficultiesg in order to win they must use good judgment. Athletes perform before many spectators. These spectators see their faults and merits, they bring criticism to them and they learn how to profit by it and overcome sensitivencss. XYhen athletes meet their opponents they must look for their weak points, for a team is as strong as their greatest weakness. By doing this they develop ability to size up people. llealth habits are not endowed with your physical health. Therefore, it is of uttermost importance that the young Americans be taught how to develop a good physique and maintain such by living a clean, normal and moral life.

This remarkable ability often kept the team from meeting disas-A ter. ln calling signals as well as in action, unusual qualities of a foot-- ball warrior were displayed. George Schroer played guard or tackle on the right side of the line. George did not know how to take a step backward, for he constantly pushed toward the enemyls goal. Q Paul Feuerstein, our right half-back, was an excellent man to run with the ball. He would invariably make gains for the team. If he hit the line where there was no hole, he would make one. awlifiilxo vfrvvl, vvy-v vv THE CHARLEMO 55 .-.X .wax .va ,. .-A -A .vt A ,AA J., ' as Raymond Ritter, our tackle, was a good running mate for McKinley.

In all the games played the Blue and TNhite exhibited good sportsman- ship, and every game, whether lost or won, brought honor to the school and the team, for as a representative of the school, the team always did its best. ST. CHARLES 21-RITENOUR O The first game in the football season of l923 was against Ritenour. The boys showed a real fight in spite of the hot day. At the lirst half, St. Charles had seven points to its credit, gained through hard pursuits. Tn the second half, St. Charles came back with its same old snap, although the visiting team put forth its utmost resistance, the Blue and XYhite scored seven points in each of its remaining quarters. ST. CHARLES 10-NORMANDY O On Qctober Sth, the St. Charles warriors met their opponents at Nor- mandy on the latterls field. Our opponents outelassed us in weight but not in skill. They tried to conquer by using line plunges but our infallible line sadly disappointed them. Tn the last half Normandy tried to play an open game, but our fast and alert back-held broke up this procedure. Nor- mandy played a good defensvie game: but in spite of it we took the ball into the enemyis territory and made a held goal, counting three points. Thus stimulated, they played an open game which resulted in a touch down followed by a successful drop kick. The hnal score was ten to nothing in favor of St. Charles. ST. CHARLES 0-FERGUSON 3 A week after the spectacular defeat of Normandy, St. Charles tested its skill against Ferguson. The season's dope was in favor of St. Charles and an easy victory was expected: so our men grew over-confident. At the close of the first half, St. Charles was within a foot of the goal and four downs to make a touch down, but the refereels whistle blew too soon. The second half resulted in a field goal for Ferguson. The teams were evenly matched. ST. CHARLES O-MAPLEWOOD 31 On October 19th. St. Charles met its Maplewood opponents who had us out-weighed by twenty pounds per man. ln spite of the fact, however, they failed to gain much territory byline plunges. In a previous game one of our back field men was injured to the extent that he could not enter this MYIMYIVN A P01 o PfA1rfA1rr5X1rm1rfA1r6N1r01I'fDrlDiX1r01rfA1rm1 4 4 4 A A A A V581 A W THE CHARLEMO 59 ELEM .-.A ..A CA -.A -.. .- - ..A -- ..A encounter, so we were handicapped and had to substitute a very unexpe- rienced man. This enabled the Maplewood players to work suc- cessful passes on our men. The result of this handicap was an unusually high score against our eleven. ST. CHARLES 19-ALUMNI 0 After the unusual defeat at Maplewood our men went into a week of training by which they meant to conquer the undefeated alumni. The game made a disastrous start when the latters carried the ball into the dan- ger zone of our territory. Our men made several dashes and turned the tide. The second and third quarters exhibited some real tight by both sides. This, however. proved decisive for the Blue and XYhite, when a forward pass was completed by a touchdown. Through correct procedure of the game the struggling Alumni again received the kick, while attempting to execute a trick play, they were surprised by our swift and alert line that caused them to fumble and accredited us for a touchdown with the sea- son's most scptacular run of 70 yards for a touchdown. ST. CHARLES 28-FERGUSON 0 After the much unexepected defeat of St. Charles, our manager arranged another contest with our victorious opponents. ln this game a most bril- liant light was shown. Our men exhibited an invincible spirit at the very start of the game which seemed to become intense as the game progressed. liach quarter yielded a touchdown for St. Charles. V ST. CHARLES 0-COUNTRY DAY 25 On November 16th, the St. Charles boys for the first time lined up against Country Day's team. Country Day had a team not to be under- estimated, for they outweighed the St. Charles men about thirty pounds per man, and admitted that a team of St. Charles' size and fight had not battled on their lield before. The score is not indicative of the game, for our boys were within eighteen yards of Country Dayls goal line twice. The loss of the game was entirely due to being out-classed. ST. CHARLES 12-RANKEN TRADE 0 On November 6th, the St. Charles eleven again captured the honors for Alma Mater by crushing the grid representatives of the Ranken Trade School. The Blue and White was again out-classed in weight, but astonished the sympathising specta- tors by presenting skill with which weight cannot compete, even in football. As usual, our men were wide awake so as to be prepared when the opportune moment came. ST. CHARLES 6-CHAMINADE 14 The 1923 football season was closed by a hard foughft contest with Chaminade Many of our men were not able to do what had been done in previous games due t-0 the fact that many wore battle marks received during a long and peppy season. These minor conditions had some effect on their efficiency that day. Reviewing the scores as compared with other years 1923 was a great success. 0 I'fB1r6N1rfA1T6'flr01l'f8dr6N1I'fA1I6N1ffM1PrA1 A PfM1Pf5Gff3flffKl h'6dlYis1 A a a - 1 ' A 99 r WY, 7 A 2 K Y J THE CHARLEMO 61 5s2f EQ as i GIRLS? BASKET BALL The basketball season of l923-24 opened with very bright prospects for the girls. Since there were so many girls out for practice, we could ex- pect a Winning team. Six inter-high school games were played. Of these, we are proud to say, only one was lost. llesides these six inter-high school games there, were two other very exciting games played with the St. Charles Alumnae. llotli of these were lost to the latter. The following girls were awarded letters for this year: Kathryn Golden. Carrie llosehert, Olive Sehrieber. Ruth Spreekelnieyer, Monahelle Mcliinley, Dorothy Hahn, Alice Steimel, Florence Buthfer and :Nliee Bests. A very interesting event of the season was the inter-class tournament. A silver loving cup was offered to the class winning the most games played. Since the juniors did not lose a game, the cup was awarded to that class. They are to retain this cup until next year, when it will be awarded again to the class having the winning team. Prospects for one of the best teams in Missouri next year are even better than for this. Vvlith the squad of players that have had experience in basketball we feel that success will he assured for the girls in l924-1925. 0 ' ' 'A ' f Hlidii 62 THE CHARLEMO BOYS, BASKET BALL The game of basketball is a new sport for St. Charles High. lt is true we have played a few games before this year, but not as a high school sport. CD11 january 4th, we had our first practice in the gymnasium, and the following day the Horst game was played. As the scores indicate the team of 1924 improved each game, losing by only one point to one of the strongest teams our quintet ,met this season, in thelast game of the year. The team played lifteen games, winning but four of them. However. teams fhafwe played twice, either we beat or the score was an improvement for St. Charles. For instance, VVashington, Missouri, the winners of the Xlarrenton tournament, beat 'us 55 to 9 on our own floor, and only 41 to 13 two weeks later on their own gymnasium. Troy, Missouri, the winners of the same tournament, beat us 48 to 12 in the first game and only 23 to 14 in the return game. Two members of this team are lost by graduation-Lammers and Feuer- stein. This leaves McKinley, Ralph and Clarence 1-Boekemeier of the reg- ulars to build a stellar team around next year. Those who wish the best for athletics in St. Charles do not forget the members of the squad who, although not regulars, contributed much to the success of the team. Among those who deserve mention are McKee, Keithly, Masel, Alexander, Franken- feld and Schroer.

The business men of St. Charles responded readily to the call for advertisements and it is the duty of every 'High School stuclent and booster to patronize these merchants. The Charlemo Staff of '24 hopes that the students will remember this fact and it will mean a bigger and better year-book in the future. Yours truly, HY. F. LAM M ERS. Business Manager. V9 -9' .3 H.
