Mr. Yagge started teaching at Belleville West High School in 1975 and he retired in 2007. He is one of the few teachers who was able to experience both the Old West campus as well as the new West Campus. He remembers the great traditions, students, teachers, plays, atheletics, everything about it. The one thing he will try not to remember is the lack of technology in the Old Belleville West school buildings.

Mr. Yagge was a student of Belleville West and remembers the Hobo Day vividly. He remembers the excitment that was at the high school when the classes lined up behind their floats and marched down Main Street. The entire school then met up at the old courthouse and had a pep rally for the football game later that evening or the next day. The football game was usually against East Saint Louis. School was then let out, and the student's then went home. || Read the Complete Interview: Listen to Mr. Yagge's Complete Interview: media type="file" key="yagge interview.mp3" Listen to Mr. Yagge's thoughts about the Math Department :media type="file" key="math changes.mp3" Listen to Mr. Yagge's thoughts about Sports:media type="file" key="sport clip.mp3"
