Since our classes, our dances, our associations are all carried on with the utmost informality, we, too, have attempted to write into the Charlemo a theme of informality. showing the organizations and teachers not in posed positions but in familiar characteristic attitudes. We have emphasized not the individual but rather the organization and the activity as well as their significance. We hope that in some distant future you will be able to use this yearbook to gain a clear picture of your school days, 7fze staff LYEROY SCHAEFER Editor MILTON MEYER Business Manager LARRY O'NEAL Literary Editor SHIRLEY BIZELLI Sports Editor MARX' ELIZABETH BLACKHURST Calendar Editor ELSA FINCK Advertising Manager TED LEISTNER Snaps Editor TED HUESEMANN Humor Editor LORAINE LEVERENZ Typist FRANCIS GIBBS Assistant Editor EDWIN BLASE Asst. Business Manager Miss ANALLQ HACKLEY, history teacher extraordinary, aside from giving us valuable classroom in- struction, has worked with and helped our class in many ways. While co-sponsor of our class as juniors, it was she who instigated many of the money making activi- ties, it was she who met with the budget committee, the prom com- mittees, the party committees, and helped them iron out their diflicul- ties, it was she who helped with the actual decorating for the prom. It was she who advised us, as seniors, upon the many problems facing graduating students. Though Miss l-lackley has been friend and adviser to many graduating classes in the past, we, the Class of 1940, claim her as our own. dedicate this, the twentieth edition of the Charlemo, to Miss Hackley. ft A A fxl'fxff 52. 2 Q s ,..

JONES' second year as principal of our school, he carried out and made more permanent the fine ideals he had established in his first year at this position. Duc to his able handling, this year's as- sembly programs were superior to any We have had in the past, and a more satisfy- ing feeling of harmony was found preva- lent between students and the administra- tive forces. ln spite of the importance and responsibility accompanying the office of principal, Mr. Jones has not allowed this to interfere with his friendly manner and ready sense of humor. Eiqht STEPHEN BLACKHURST Superintendent ASIDE from being a competent executive, our Superintendent of City Schools is also an accomplished singer, having a Hne, deep, bass voice! Too often we think of any- one connected with the school as an in- human pedagog, but we can look upon Mr. Blackhurst as a man with Wonder- fully human traits, a warm sympathy, a deep understanding, the ability to be a friend to his students, and a willingness to cooperate in the many ventures and activities of the school. We are very appre- ciative of the fact that we have in the superintendents office a man in whom we may have the utmost confidence. BQAIQD CDF EDUCATION THR Sciiiooi. BOARD is composed of six mem- bers who are elected for a term of three years. They are usually leaders in the community who have displayed an interest in school affairs. The position carries with it much responsibility, for the condition of any school system is a direct reflection upon the board in charge of it. Judg- ing, however, from the progressive, complete, and up-to-date school system that we have, our School Board is more than competent. We realize well the difficulties and problems which at times face the School Board and we are thankful for the sound judgment the mem- bers exercise in solving these problems. DR. T. L.

Within certain limits, the student may express an opinion upon and argue about any statement of his instructors or the Writers of his text books. He challenges a long established scientific law: and, because his curiosity is aroused, he reads and questions and learns more of the possibilities of the law than they who accept. He objects to free verse: and, by debating the issue, gains a fuller appreciation of modern poetry. Classrooms such as ours are sending a race of free thinking pro- gressive youths out to fill their niches in the World.

Thirty-one f'LU-LU- U-LVL Grganizations NEVER are better times to be had but when young people with a common interest band together. ln the high school clubs, it's not the doing of a thing, it's the fine fun and fellowship enjoyed in doing it together. Whether the interest is speech, dra- matics, science, or journalism: Whether a play is being practiced, a field trip planned, a dance antici- pated, or a hike organized, the same spirit of jovial comradeship is to be found, unaltered, in each of the many and varied clubs. But this is not to say that other interests are dimmed: some clubs give their members valuable knowledge, others make it possible for them to develop their skill along certain lines, some bring honor and recog- nition to the school: all serve the school in some way or other and make our organizations indis- pensable to our present day school program. Thirty-two Thirty-three DEBATE CLUB Thirl y -four Presidenz , TED HUEsEMANN Secrelary-Treasurer B11,L1E JEANNE FREELAND Sponsor MR, FREELAND At the end of a rather successful season, the Debate Club proudly dis- played a record of '57 victories to only I6 defeats in the major de- cisional debates. The club sponsored a debate tour- nament which was the first contest of the season in this part of the coun- try. Sixteen schools participated and DuQuoin, Illinois, went home with the trophy, while St. Charles tied for second. Next, at the Vandalia, Illi- nois, Tournament, the boys Won a second place trophy while, the same day, another group of St. Charles de- baters tied for second at the Clayton Tournament. Meeting, and defeat- ing, some of the top-notch schools in central Illinois at the Pinckney- ville Tournament, St. Charles carried off another trophy, a first. In the County Finals, the St. Charles de- baters were crowned county cham- pions, but had a stroke of ill luck in the District Finals and came through with a third place. The last debate of the season that St. Charles attended was the Wentworth Tour- nament, held by Wentworth Military Academy. Here, meeting state cham- pions and nationally prominent teams, the boys won only one of their four debates. The debating season closed, the club changed its name to the Forum Club, the purpose of which was to discuss problems of current impor- tance and interest in the school, the city, and the nation.

MCADAM One ol' the oldest organizations in school is the Analyzing Alchemists Club. known in former times as the Radio Club and later, as the Science Club. Throughout these many years, the purposes and ideals of the club have been practically the same: to further student interest in science and to de- velop the individual's scientific abilities. The ways in which these ideals are attained and upheld are through lab- oratory experimentation. field trips to various industries in which science plays an interesting and useful part, and the annual May Day exhibit and Science Assembly, where the boys learn and display the more spectacur lar phases of chemical and physical science.

M ISS REGAN Due probably to the increasing nation-wide popularity of archery as a sport, membership in the Archery Club reached a peak this year-al- most quadrupling the membership of two years ago. The girls, because of excellent equipment and because of the tute- lage and sponsorship of Miss Regan, displayed a keen interest in archery, and, as a result, met Weekly to de- velop their skill through target prac- tice. It can be safely said that this year archery made its real debut as a major girls' sport. FRESI-IMEN DRAMATIC Presfclen! HAZIEI.

Coivovieiz The Freshman Dramatic Club, while very similar to the Senior Dra- matic, has as its purpose not to de- velop talent, but rather to discover the abilities of those freshmen inter- ested in dramatics. Many of the members of this club go on into the senior club and. as a result of their training as freshmen, are better able to take part in major productions. The meetings, while calling to a certain extent upon the talents of those giving the readings and skits, are generally of a purely social nature and are held for the entertainment of the members. The club, this year, gave a public performance in the high school audi- torium at which it presented Anna- belle Steps In and The Ghost of the Roaring Pines .

The ideals are to cultivate an interest and appreciation for the liner types of art and to develop a certain amount of skill. Besides living up to these ideals, the Art Club performs a service to the school by helping publicize school activities through posters, stage scen- ery, and stage settings. Two of the activities and, inci- dently, two of the ways the girls made money for their treasury, were by painting Christmas cards and painting Easter eggs. AUTO MECHANICS l'res1'c1'en1,. ..,...,.

This more thorough knowledge has a tendency for better drivers and for better cared for cars. Aside from the meetings, which were taken up with explanations and observations of the different parts of the automobile and their workings. the boys took a field trip to the Chevrolet Plant and the Fisher Body Corporation in St. Louis.

This club does not place primary emphasis up- on German literature and German culture but rather upon the idea of developing in students of the Ger- man language a love for the favorite pastimes and recreations of the Ger- man folk, especially song singing, playing of games, and hiking. The major activities of the club. in its initial year, were its several hikes on which its members would, after hiking to a favorite spot, sit about a campfire, toast wieners and marshmallows, and sing old Rhein- land songs. aa - , Forty-three PHOTCD CLUB forty-four President ,....

The students of the SCRIBBLERS school and the people of the town have made a habit of reading this column regularly to gain an extraor- dinarily complete resume of student activities and interests, and the Scrib- bler's Club has performed a valuable service to the school by collecting and working over the material for their copy. Every member of the organization is an active member, for practically every week he is given an assign- ment. To fulfill his assignment he must get authentic interesting news and present it in such a way that the interest is not shadowed. The club is essentially a literary club and the quality of writing in the articles re- flects this purpose. Forty-fide next ur thletics THE sports program of S. C. H. S. no longer requires of its participants a strong back and a weak mind. Many of the cultural and scholastic leaders of the student body are found among those who take an active part in both the intra- mural and interscholastic sports. Then too, the program is so varied that every person, physically able, may ind an outlet for his abilities. A heavy or Wiry boy Willing to cooperate and able to take it Will go to football like a duck to Water. A lad quick of foot and accurate of aim Will enjoy and become proficient at basketball. Speed, en- durance, strong arms, or strong legs: any of these can ind its place on the track team. While the teams bring glory to the school and to the individuals, honor to themselves, athletics performs a more valuable service-that of keeping the students fit. Forty-six Q For! y -svven FCQTBALI.

We can say that every game this year was indeed a thriller. After a hard fought, exciting season, we found that we had won three, lost three, and tied two. The first game of the season, against Woodriver, was played to a well-won 6-0 victory for St. Charles. Matched in a game with Nlexico next, we were set back for our first defeat, 12-7. In the following week's battle, the Ritenour eleven were able to pile a 12-O defeat upon our shoulders. Then the undefeated Crystal City team came to St. Charles with the hope of adding another scalp to its well-filled belt. The St. Charles boys, when faced with the challenge of meeting a team with such a record, smashed through the Crystal City line three times for touchdowns, and sent Crystal City home bearing their 20-13 defeat. We again showed our strength when we met De Soto on the home gridiron. De Soto managed to struggle over the goal line for one touchdown, but we consequently came out on the long end of a 14-6 score. Clayton then handled us our third and last defeat of the season, 14-O. The Homecoming game was the one that kept us jumping up and down and yelling ourselves hoarse. The whole game the boys went up the field, down the field, even twice across the goal line. We didn't score, though, because both times the ball was called back for one reason or another, and the game ended with St. Charles tying O-0 with her traditional enemy, Kirkwood, who was supposedly the strongest team in the 'ALittle Five . We wound up the season with a 13-13 tie with Wellston. We note with regret that we will lose lettermen Dapron, Briegel, Lessman, Gillette, Schmidt, Schaefer, and Meyer by graduation. These men played a vital part in the success of the past season and there is small wonder that we would keep them if we could. There are, however, underclassmen lettermen who will fill their shoes and carry on the fine morale and fighting spirit which so characterizes St. Charles teams. BASKETBALL This basketball season we accomplished what we had attempted, and failed. to do last season: we won a game on our new home court. The season, as a result of a limited squad, was generally unsuccessful, as far as the scores go. The record which this year's team has hung up is fourteen defeats and six victories. However, it was often the case that the same five men would play an entire game. while the opponents would send in fresh replace- ments time after time. In spite of this, we may be proud of the fact that the boys displayed such a high quality of sportsmanship and love of the game for the game's sake. no matter what the score. The large attendance at home games. even after a series of defeats had been piled up, shows how our student body admires and appreciates a game, fighting team. It seemed many times that Lady Luck had stacked the cards against us. Often we would be tied with the opposing team or running neck and neck until the last few minutes, even seconds, of play, and, invariably, lose by a few points. Such were the cases of Principia, Maplewood, Vkfellston, and Eureka. We were victorious over such strong teams as Christian Brothers' High School, Kirkwood, Clayton lwhom we played twicel, Principia, and Normandy. l-et's give a salute to Mr. Owen, head basketball coach, who, in his first year at S. C. H. S., took an undermanned team, worked with it. and, in the end, turned out a group of boys excelling by far any team we have met in clean play, sportsmanship. and fighting spirit. lwrxl Row lrllls, liaerher, Sliegt-iiiewr, l5,1rltl,ugv. llnegel li .ipl.nnl, l.essm.m. llunler, Nl.

In the heavy weight class, there was a tie at the end of the series of games: each team, one captained by Pat Bryan the other by Paul May, won six games and lost but one. There were six other teams participating in this class. In the light weight division, Emmett Haake's team Won out over three other teams in their grouping. All in all. the boys had a lot of good clean fun and furnished a lot of entertainment for the student body during the noon hour. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Cl-IAMPS 'lihe girls on the Noon Hour Basketball team did not get the title 'AChamps . from merely taking it easy. They worked hard after school practicing whenever they possibly could. The girls easily upheld their title when they were matched with the women members of the Faculty, 'lihey were not satisned with just being Noon Hour Champs so they decided to become the Class Champions. Hooray for the Junior girls for again capturing the Class Championship.

S. this year was highly successful from all standpoints. Not only the lettermen have excelled in their events, but also the Freshmen and Sophomores. School records are constantly being broken. Briegel set a new school record when he hurled the discus 131 feet. Another outstanding performance was a 2 minute 11.4 second half mile by Jack Ward- low for a new Freshman record. Moses set a new pole vaulting record of ll feet 6 inches. All of the dual meets in which St. Charles competed were won by St. Charles by a very great margin. One of the most interesting meets, however, was the one in which our Junior team was matched against the Seniors of Wellston. We defeated them by a score of 76M to ZSM. The many brilliant performances of the track team were climaxed when Briegel broke three District Track records in the high and low hurdles and discus while the team took first place. Fritts set a new district record in pole vaulting. Four men, Briegel, Fritts, Moses, and Wardlow, plus an 880 relay team, qualified at the District Meet for the State Outdoor Meet to be held at Columbia, May 4, where the team made 9M points. Not only that, but shortly after, St. Charles convincingly defeated Principia, who won the State Cutdoor, in a dual meet. The outstanding performances of this year have given the team a great amount of prestige in this district. Presidenz , KEN SCHMIDT Vice-President .....

The club's outstanding activity this year was a basketball game be- tween the Juniors and the Seniors. The proceeds of this game went into the club treasury for club activities. This club has in the past done a few things which merit recognition of their worthiness. The club and the Senior Class of '39 together pur- chased an electric scoreboard and clock for the new gym.

He may take part in the choral groups or he may learn to play a musical instrument: in either, While developing his tal- ents, he contributes to the cultural life of the school. At the parties, he learns to mix socially with his fellow students. lt is at high school that most of the students learn the almost essential art of dancing. The queen festivals, the May Day exhibits, the operetta, all demand something of almost every student. He may or may not take an active part in the preparations and presenta- tions of these events, but if he does, he will remem- ber them as an important part of his school life.

FCDCDTBALI. QUEEN Each year a queen is elected to reign over a party given in honor of the boys who have upheld our school's fame on the football field. This year the fair Billie Jeanne Freeland was chosen as ruler of the hearts of the squad. Queen Billie's attendants were Margie Baum, Junior: Mary Kemper, Sopho- more: and Hazel Edelen, Freshman. Little Edgar Wolff, ol'Hcial crown bearer, bore the crown to the throne where Shirley Bizelli, representing Maxine Mahon, Queen of the Football Season of 1938 who was unable to be present, placed the crown upon Billie's head. me 1- A 'Z cf 'E Fifty-nine BEST CITIZENS Senior: KENNETH SCHMIDT SHIRLEY BIZELLI In an effort to foster better citizenship in the community, the St. Charles Rotary Club again sponsored the selection of a number of future citizens to go on a tour to the state capitol to learn, first-hand, of the history, great men, and ideals of our state. This undertaking with its potential civic improvement has always been received well by the various schools since its inception several years ago. Junior: JACK MAHON Sixty HELEN HORVATH BEST CITIZENS Sophomore: EARL STIEGEMEIER MABIQL WILKINS The Rotary Club suggested that the citizens be selected on the basis of attitude toward school regulations, courtesy, cooperation, trustworthiness, health, industry. and initiative. leaving the selection of the citizens up to the schools. At class assemblies, each class nominated three boys and three girls from which the faculty selected the persons to make the trip. Although other schools had their best citizens, we present here only those so honored by St. Charles High School. 'D Freshman: MELVIN MOUND HAZEL EDELEN Sixty-one FGGTBALI. PARTY Sixty-two December l was the evening set aside on the school calendar for the annual Football Party, and an important date it proved to bel The regular courtly ceremonies apropos to this event were carried on with the Freshman, Sopho- more, and Junior attendants preceding in the usual order the Winsome queen, Billie Jeanne Freeland, attractively attired in white taffeta with red accessories, carrying a beautiful bouquet of red roses which, during the course of the evening, she saw fit to distribute among her many ardent admirers. These proceedings plus-the dance which followed were quite willingly accepted by the football squad as ample reward for their lengthy toil upon the gridiron the past season. ' o l-IAl.I.CDWE'EN PARTY A'Wierd wicked witches whisking westward with the woeful wind was the password which admitted a mystic conglomeration of masked hoboes. pirates, gypsies, witches, and ghosts into an appropriate Halloween setting of rustic logs, corn shocks, and jack-o-lanterns, all of which was overhung by a canopy of autumnal oak. The usual prizes were given for originality, artistry, and oddity in costumes. This was followed by more or less potent punch and by dancing. Sixfy-three CDPERETTA Sixty-four On February l and 2 the operetta Carmelita was presented with pro- nounced success. This light opera by Bagg and Marcelli has its setting in the court of a Mexican hacienda of the early eighteen hundreds. A group of flmericanos, some peons, a few elegant dons, and a bevy of bewitching dark- eyed beauties evolve themselves into a plot of considerable romance and action. On a beautiful realistic setting, prepared with the cooperation of the art and manual training departments, the students selected displayed admirably their singing and acting talents.

Aside from its other duties. the Student Council this year rewrote and modernized its constitution. Srxltf - live BAND Sixty-six The band, attired in blue and white cloaks and caps of the same color, cut quite a ligure as it drilled at the football games and marched at the Home- coming parade. Aside from this it took part in several assembly programs and concerts given by the music department. The band was entered in the District Music Festival at University City on March 29-30 and was qualified to go to the state contest at Columbia, April 26. This they also entered and received a third rating. Mr. J. P. Skinner, the director, is responsible for having groomed and instructed the band and having made possible its splendid performances. ORCHESTRA The orchestra, also under the direction of Mr. Skinner, took part in several school and public concerts and a group from the orchestra furnished the music for the school operetta. At the District Music Festival the orchestra rated high and qualified to go to the state contest. At this contest they received a second rating. The students and friends are proud of the fine orchestra we have. Our pride is justifiable since some of the judges at the district festival complimented Mr. Skinner on the unusual size and ability of his groups, considering the relatively small school from which they came. This, of course, is explainable by the interest which all of our students take in music. Sixly-seven GIRLS' GLEE CLUB E Sixty-eight Under Miss Seiling's able tutelage, the Girls' Glee Club has made great strides this year. Aside from active participation in music assemblies and con- certs, the girls came through the various contests which they attended with flying colors. Qualifying for the state at the District Music Festival, this group drew from the judges compliments on its size, appearance, and ability. At the state contest the Glee Club carried off a first rating, which makes it one of the best in the state. With their pastel skirts and White blouses the girls were a very pretty group, and we have no doubt, having heard them sing, that any compliments from the judges or others is no more than deserving. MIXED Cl-ICDRUS The Mixed Chorus, composed of girls from the Ciirls' Cilee Club and boys interested in vocal work, was quite a successful organization this year. With the rest of the Music Department, it attended the District Music Festival, held at University City on March 30-31 and qualified for the state contest at Columbia on April 26. Here it received a first rating, which qualified it for the regional contest at Kansas City, Missouri. Miss Seiling deserves a vote of thanks for having devoted her time to this organization and for having developed it into a most excellent choral group.

The symbols, SCLS, are the cardinal principles for membership, namely: scholarship, character, leadership, and service. Members, who are elected by the high school faculty, must be in the upper 25 per cent of their class, must be of infallible character, must be recognized as outstanding leaders, and must be eager in their desire to be of service to the school and to the student body. The emblem of this national organi- zation is a gold pin with the figure of a flaming torch in the center, surrounded by the four-letter symbol. To Wear the pin as a full-fledged member means, not only great honor, but also great re- sponsibility. The ideal of the society is the betterment of the community through the development of the indi- vidual. To this ideal the members trust that they may aspire.

The day ended with the big dance. Gee, it was good to see all those familiar faces again. Nov. 15. Sophomore Party.
