Vachel Lindsay ' s name was brought again into the public eye by the dedicatory ceremonies at the Vachel Lindsay Memorial Bridge and Memorial Statue at Lake Springfield last summer, in which many students participated. We hope further to increase the appreciation of his art by our treatment of his more important works in this Capitoline of 1936. — The Editors. CONTENTS ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ORGANIZATIONS ATHLETICS STUDENT ACTIVITIES SUSAN E. WILCOX DEDICATIO N Leaving out the members of my own family, Susan E. Wilcox is, without a doubt, both as a person and a teach- er, the noblest and most faithful friend of my life. She stood by me for years when I went through the usual Middle West crucifixion of the artist. Collected Poems — Vachel Lindsay. To her, of whom the poet, whose life and work are the theme of this book, spoke so highly as a noble friend and faithful adviser — to Miss Susan E. Wilcox, is dedicated this, the Vachel Lindsay Edition of the Capitoline of 1936. For us, too, she has ever been a constant guide in developing a desire for the better things in life. By her inspiring leadership, patience, and fore- sight, she has smoothed the path toward the future fulfillment of all our dreams. Like Mr. Lindsay, we owe her everlasting gratitude for the warm, sincere friendship she tendered us, coupled with the keen judgment and advice so graciously and willingly extended; so it is to her we inscribe with pride our tribute to Springfield ' s great poet, and the school ' s most distin- guished student, Nicholas Vachel Lindsay.

Wilcox, showing how high in his regard Miss Wilcox stood, and how important a part he felt she played in the shaping of his thought and the preserving of the poet ' s faith in his powers.   ■_ 8 wkwS j fa tavss tt.j A, rwoW masl.

The lyrical masters of the old days, perhaps, had these characteristics, but even then it was no doubt ex- aggerated. Absolute as- surance can be offered now, however, that the versifiers of our day are not such individuals. Vachel Lindsay, tow- headed, tall and thin, first came to the attention of Miss Susan E. Wilcox in his sophomore year, start- ing the basis for a friend- ship and influence that led Lindsay to assume an un- compromised place in po- etry ' s Hall of Fame. With Vachel ' s artistic composure, Biology, in one sense, was a snap for him, his talented illus- trations constantly win- ning him praise. English was a favorite subject, as we might expect it to be. He very often disagreed with an author ' s view- point, and vehemently and ably defended his own in- terpretation of the sub- ject. He submitted his poetry to Miss Wilcox during his senior year. Miss Wilcox was instantly aware of her pupil ' s ability to paint rare word-pictures, even at so immature an age. Vachel Lindsay was also of an athletic trend of mind, taking a prominent part on the Springfield High School track team. His versatility was ably displayed here. His relations with high school and high school st udents did not terminate with his own graduation and maturity. He loved nothing better than to lead students in his own poems and those of the masters, and inter- pret them with the groups. This eager desire is amply brought out in some of Lindsay ' s letters. Vachel Lindsay very often read with the English classes of the high school, deriving much enjoyment upon being with the young students. Withal, Vachel Lindsay was a real human being, convincing and humorous, leaving behind a heritage to enrich the mankind that he tried to help. ' Rooms rich in records of old deeds sublime, Books that hold garnered harvests of far lands, Pictures that tableau Man ' s triumphant climb. Doors I proclaim, for there are rooms Ripened through aeons by the good and wise. ' Come enter there, and meet Tomorrow ' s Man, Communing with him softly day by day. ' Dazzling the eye of faith, the hope-filled heart And the tired mind in Beauty ' s net be caught. ' Doors of great portent open unto me Carved with great eagles and with hawthornes rare. . . . ' Ah, the deep vistas it reveals, the dream Of angel-bands in infinite array ' The sages sat about us With their heads bowed in their beards, With proper meditation on the sight. From THE CHINESE NIGHTINGALE station and other selections from Vachel Lindsay ' s Collected Poe of The Macmillan Company, publishers. f X ADMINISTRATION Principal D. W. McCoy Dwight W. McCoy, as the responsible head of Springfield High School has many problems to solve, but the competence with which he sur- mounts each of them is evidence of his clear judg- ment and diplomatic skill which designates him as one of this city ' s leading citizens. From all with whom Mr. McCoy has association comes praise and admiration for his courtesy toward the parents and faculty, for his geniality, and for the ease with which he fills his position. To the students themselves our principal con- stantly endeavors to bring the choicest of oppor- tunities by planning improved courses, and secur- ing worth-while assembly programs. The Departments of Science, Modern Language, and Commercial courses are governed by this busy individual also, with the same proficiency that is displayed in the accomplishment of other matters. Thus Mr. McCoy is making his own ideal a realization by instructing the boys and girls of S. H. S. how to work and play happily, and in leading them to a realization of the value of high ambitions and good citizenship. Mr. McCoy dictates a letter to Miss Davis, Correspondence Secretary ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AT WORK As the principal ' s right hand man, he has frequently taken over the reins of government during the former ' s absence. To attend to the duties of another man, plus those already given him, proves the mettle of anyone. Our Assistant Princi- pal has always come through with the highest of honors for his distinctive and noteworthy service to our school, either when doing twofold duties or just his own. As Assistant Principal of Springfield High School, Mr. Davis is invested with authority second only to that of Mr. Mc- Coy. He exerts this influence in an endeavor to make this school a somewhat safer and saner es- tablishment. His tall form is ever watching to avoid traffic jams, in the front halls, and to prevent casualties that are possible in the cafeteria rush. All matters of discipline are referred to him, such as unexcused absences, tar- diness, and other misdemeanors of wayward students. MR. L. K. DAVIS The 1936 Capitoline Miss Dorothy Bundy, dean of girls, aids in the general work of the admin- istration, but advising the girls of S. H. S. gives her many special prob- lems. She helps them in choosing courses, planning curricula, and with college plans. As adviser to the Senior Girls ' Council, Miss Bundy leads that group to fulfill its part in school life. She is general adviser to all girls ' so- cieties, interviewing and assisting their presidents and advisers. In ad- dition to her duties as dean. Miss Bundy is an instructor in the English Department. MISS BUNDY Mr. Roy Wentz, the dean of boys, is another prominent administrative figure in school life. To him the boys come for counsel, and he in turn is a link between the faculty and the stu- dent body. His advisership of the Senior Boys ' Council is another im- portant duty. Contact with outside schools and other deans enables him to bring new ideas and methods to S. H. S. Mr. Wentz takes a part in school discipline, and he instructs a class in advanced arithmetic. MR.

Vachel Lindsay Edition Miss Graham, Instructor 10 1 English Class ENGLISH DEPARTMENT In our field of English we are recognized as having one of the finest departments possible. The courses have been so organized that a gradual development is made through each year. It is required that all students take three years of English, the required course being divided into two parts, composition and literature. All 9 1 , 10 and ll 1 s are instructed in composition while ll- ' s may choose between English 7, a two semester course covering works of English liter- ature from the first Anglo-Saxon tales to the works of modern authors, and English 5, which is a one semester condensed form of English 7. Students desiring a fourth year of English find many splendid electives. Drama, an extensive study of technique of the stage, is mainly responsible for our Senior Class play. Public Speaking is our excellent subject for those interested in debate. Contemporary literature is an interesting course which covers both Modern British and American writers. Mrs. Maxfield, Instructor 9 1 Spanish Class The 1936 Capitoline Twenty-eight Mr. Thompson, Instructor 10 ' History Class SOCIAL SCIENCE Another of our well-organized departments is the Social Science De- partment. We find that under the capable direction of Miss Welch, the courses are all skillfully planned. Two years of history are required of all students. College preparatory students are urged to begin with a study of Ancient and Medieval History in their sophomore year. These are each one-semester courses. The first course in Social Science offered to the student is Commercial Geography. This Freshman course includes a survey of all the countries of the world and furnishes the student with an excellent background for history in his Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years. The Junior year course is Modern European History, which deals with the events of Europe through the World War. All Seniors are required to take History. One semester of United States History and one semester of either Civics or Economics, or a whole year of United States History is offered. The alert and thinking student finds the weekly study of current events of great value in becoming aware of the present-day happenings. Thus, the students are also studying history in the making. Mr. Sanders, Instructor Industrial Art Vachei Lindsay Edition Mrs. Rein, Instructor 9 2 Algebra Class MATHEMATICS The Mathematics Department offers a splendid course for any ambitious student. A two-semester course of Algebra is required of all courses except General. It includes fundamentals and simple practice. Plane Geometry, which instructs in divisions of space or solids, is the course open to Sopho- mores. In Junior or Senior years, advanced Algebra, Solid Geometry, Col- lege Algebra, Trigonometry, and Arithmetic are optional in one-semester courses. The College Algebra and Trigonometry classes are instructed in the treatment of various relations of complex mathematical formulae and systems, while Senior Arithmetic is an important advanced course in speedy and accurate calculations. ART The Art Department has an interesting and helpful course, not only for those who are majoring in the esthetic field, but for those who are anxious to acquire a knowledge of art in its higher forms. There are two courses for students: the regular art course, and an art appreciation course. The 9 1 and 10 1 classes are instructed in pencil and color designing, painting, flowers, figures and posters. The advanced classes are instructed in charcoal, water colors, wood blocks, and drawings. For those interested in the appreciation of art, fundamentals of house furnishings, color harmony, architecture and master paintings are taught. The 1936 Capitoline Miss Ihlenfeldt, Instructor 10 ' Latin Class LATIN A four-year course in Latin may be taken in this high school. Simple Roman stories are first introduced in the Freshman and Sophomore course; then, during the third year, students translate Cicero ' s orations. During the fourth year, Vergil ' s Aeneid is studied and mastered. Each year the Eta Sigma Phi Fraternity of Greek and Latin professors presents a gold medal to those Seniors who make A in their fourth-year work. Latin, although termed a dead language, plays a vital part in most professions. We find that the laudable, well-known works of these great poets and orators are of great interest after one has become thoroughly acquainted with the language, and can really understand the essence that is hidden in them. HOUSEHOLD ARTS In this interesting and practical field, a background for teaching, dietetics, nursing, designing, and interior decorating is offered. A variety of fields: foods, home nursing, clothing, vocations, earning and spending, housing, and home furnishings are studied. A home-making course is offered Freshman girls, after which more detailed studies of foods are offered. In the advanced clothing course, silk and wool dresses are made, and the girls learn how to select the most becoming clothes. The course in house- hold management includes problems in decoration, furniture, budgeting, etc. Near the end of the year, the annual style show is given by the girls of the clothing classes. Vachel Lindsay Edition Mr. McCall, Instructor Mechanical Drawing Class INDUSTRIAL ARTS This course is a practical introduction to many variations. In the Fresh- man course. General Shop, there are six divisions : auto mechanics, blue-print reading, electricity, concrete work, sheet and bench metal work, and furni- ture repair. The student receives knowledge and experience in each field. A more advanced and detailed course is offered in machine shop, including printing, auto mechanics, drafting, and woodwork. The print shop does a great deal of the high school printing, the Bulletin, office and club work. The auto mechanics course presents a practical and theoretical understand- ing of the parts of automobiles. The knowledge of power and fundamentals of electricity is acquired in the electrical division. In woodwork, the stu- dents are taught the use of carpentry tools and the making of useful articles from wood. MUSIC Our Music Department is one of the largest and most outstanding departments in the school. All Freshmen and Sophomores are required to take chorus, band, or orchestra. Those being vocally talented may join the Junior or Senior Choirs, the latter of which presents the annual opera. Sixty carefully selected people compose the A Cappella Choir, which is the out- standing musical organization. A two-semester course in Harmony is offered. The orchestra and the band are composed of talented musicians, and give annual concerts; the quartets, sextets, etc., formed from them play for various occasions. Orchestra, Band, and A Cappella Choir have had many Big 12 honors. For the first time, Senior Choir participated in the contest this year. The 1936 Capitoline Miss Rodenburg, Instructor Junior Business Class COMMERCIAL The commercial courses may be taken by those wishing a business career, in order that they may be equipped to take their place in the world immediately after graduation. Sophomores and Juniors are offered book- keeping, a course in business mathematics. Fundamentals of operation of the typewriter are taught in the two-year typing course. Business forms are practiced. Stenography, the concise short-writing method, is mastered by practice in writing and dictation. Applied typewriting is an intensive one- semester course for Seniors who do not take shorthand. Commercial law is a course in which students become familiar with the basic laws governing social and commercial relationships. SCIENCE The Science Department is one of the most up-to-date departments in our school. Through experience in laboratory work as well as in textbook study, the courses are vitalized, made more clear, and more interesting. Freshmen may indulge in one-semester courses of General Science and Physical Geography. One semester of Physiology, and one year of Biology, Botany, or Zoology are open to Sophomores. Special one-semester courses in Botany and Zoology are offered Seniors. A course in Physics is the usual third-year subject, while Chemistry is the fourth-year course. These sciences are of great value in certain vocations and are necessary to continue the study in college.

JUNIOR CLASS DICK YOCOM HARRY COE BILL CAVANAUGH BOB SCHINEER Now we ' ve got to be careful what is said and how it is said. These precious Juniors are a bit touchy, and being in the next to the tip-top class in the school, they believe they should command due respect from their fellow students. Debate is where lots of them shine, and shine with a brilliance. Did you ever hear such resounding voices? No, you didn ' t. They excelled in football, basketball and orchestra, and, oh yes, choir. Believe it or not, they really went to town this last year. We left out drama. They had some choice parts in the pageant, even making the lofty seniors a bit envious of their positions. The Seniors toss you the ball, gentle Juniors, keep it going. Bounce it, roll it, or throw it, but keep it going. You ' ve got the stuff, so go to it. P. S. Don ' t get the idea these youngsters (they need to be put in their place) didn ' t join the night life, ' cause they really were the pep of the party — at times. So the social side of our fair school will not suffer when they take over the reins.

' The 1936 Capitoline SOPHOMORE CLASS Library — Habitat of the studious Sophomores — false reasoners. Well, don ' t blame us, that ' s what the dictionary says. The word comes from Sophist. The Sophists were a group of men who had seemingly plausible arguments, but were fundamentally false. Mmm — of course now, there ' s the word sophisticated. Perhaps we could have said that sophomore was derived from that. It is the same root — and so much more complimentary — worldly wise ! Joking aside, this class deserves a lot of credit for they ' re right at the top in most of the activities and in their midst are some really promising writers upon which one might remark, Wal good — (if they wanted to be original). These, the upperclassmen, referred to a few pages back, blended their voices with the Freshmen in the cantata, Rosamunde. Many of the members were seen flitting, or shall we say marching about, in Whither, O Youth, and athletics attracted a number of them. Thus the sophisticates are coming along, and already one rung farther up the ladder than their colleagues in the cantata; they ' re pushing ahead, and when they get there everybody will know it.

Of course fresh could have two meanings. Take your choice and let us get on. They are a promising group, nevertheless, particularly intellectually, though rumor has it they carry few books home. How do they do it? We ask you. Several of its members stepped directly into advanced music groups, which is a decidedly favorable point for them. Speaking of stepping, you ought to have seen the chillun at dances. They weren ' t a backward lot, no indeed ! How about athletics? Nothing notable, as yet — but that doesn ' t tell the whole story. With three more years to go, there should be something stirring with all these brawny tall lads. As usual, they had a part in the annual cantata with the upper class- men — the sophomores. So carry on, graduates of ' 39, we ' re counting on you. (Left to Right) Parker, W. ; Feltenstein, E. ; Fryhoff, A.; Klein, E. ; Knight, B.; Miller, J.; Myers, M. O ' Brien, P.; Waldemas, G.

JUNIOR CAPITOLINE ASSISTANTS OFFICERS Programme Chairman John Wolaver Secretary Evelyn Genewich Each year the regular Capitoline staff is supplemented by a group of select Juniors as assistants. They must be high scholastically and show qualities of leadership. The main purpose of this undergraduate organi- zation is to groom a new staff in the trials and tribulations of publishing the Capitoline. By close contact with the members of the staff and their work, they are better fitted to assume their next positions. Some of these industrious Juniors will be an important part of next year ' s staff, for they will get out the 1937 Capitoline. In their meetings the Junior Assistants have featured the study of the Capitoline from all angles. Miss Graham spoke at one meeting on gathering and selecting material. At another meeting Mr. Langston discussed adver- tising with the Juniors. Still another speaker was Miss Abigail, who gave the group some valuable information about photography. A visit to the printer ' s climaxed this very successful and educational year. Through the whole year Mr. Furry was ready and willing to answer any question that a Junior aspiring to the staff might have. His interesting talk, at one meeting, on the duties of the staff members gave them a very clear idea of the responsibilities which they are to shoulder next year. Besides attending their meetings and learning how to edit a Capitoline, the Juniors have proved invaluable to the regular staff — thus earning their name — Assistants. They have lent their aid in almost every phase of Capi- toline work. We are pinning our hopes on you, Juniors. The 1936 Capitoline Front Row (left to right): Miss K. Krebaum. S. Lawrence, C.

BULLETIN During the past two semesters the Bulletin has tried more than ever to make the paper a school product, both in news and publishing. In order to reach the great mass of students, the staff devised several methods of securing interviews and personality sketches of students nor participating in such prominent activities as writing, debate, drama, music, or athletics. A literary supplement, the third page, was published with literary or semi-literary productions from students aspiring to write. An entirely new feature added was candid, unposed snaps, taken by Charles DeSouza, a former student. Art students furnished linoleum blocks and drawings, and several of the student body contributed cartoons. Special interviews were had with speakers of note, such as Dr. Kagawa, Japanese social worker; Dr. William Harwood, African jungle explorer, and many others. The students on their own initiative made a thorough study of the building question, and wrote it up in a special Bond issue, giving transcribed interviews with every member of the Board. This paper won so much favor with the P. T. A. and the School Board, that the former bought copies and circulated them in grade schools, while the latter purchased 3500 copies and distributed them all over the city. The editorials, features, and advertisements have constantly won praise from competent Journalistic critics. Four times during the year compre- hensive questionnaires on world affairs were devised and published by the staff. Miss Margaret Ihlenfeldt, accountant. Miss Katherine Krebaum, sales- manageress, Mr. John Langston, advertising manager, Mr. James Jabusch, printing supervisor, and Miss Elizabeth Graham, general adviser, con- tributed to the huge success the school paper enjoyed this year.

The highest type of choral singing is attained. Advancements in interpretation, enunciation and tone color are the noticable improvements. The seventy minute period is eagerly looked forward to by the enthusiastic and capable members. The members must conform to a scholastic standard as well as a vocal standard. And, believing that a sound body makes a sound mind , rigid supervision is given to the physical condition of members of the choir. Throughout the year, the choir presented programs before many gather- ings including teachers institute, conference of Deans, assemblies, P. T. A., Lioness Club and Baccalaureate. The choir in conjunction with the orchestra presented an evening con- cert believed to have been the most beautiful ever presented in the school. This choir also sang before the Rotary Club in the K. of C. auditorium. Without the patient and skilled direction of Mr. Lundgren the choir could not carry on successfully. The respect and loyalty held for him in- cites their willing efforts in such a way that the choir must succeed. The choir appeared on two broadcasts over W.C.B.S., and not only was this a thrill for the members, but it brought unlimited praise upon the organization as a whole. After participating in the Big Twelve meet in Pekin the choir toured by bus to Macomb State Teachers College where they presented afternoon and evening concerts. So without a doubt this organization again brought honor to our school. The 1936 Capitoline Top Row (left to right): J. Magro, L. McClellan, T. Eng- land, V. McKinney, B. Daven- port, J. McDonald, G.

SENIOR CHOIR To this (shall we say vivicious ) musical group should go no small amount of credit for the great success which the lovely opera Briar Rose enjoyed. Senior Choir has ever had the reputation of doing and doing with a will, and when it came to singing, designing, and even selling tickets for Briar Rose — they did, and did with every ounce of energy they pos- sessed. This year an innovation concerning small group singing was introduced. Volunteers in the choir organized a girls quartet, girls trio, and three double quartets. They were student directed and they called and conducted their own rehearsals regularly. They even prepared their own programs, which were presented in Senior Choir. A little bit independent ? Because of the close relationship between this choir and A Cappella, the former being somewhat of a stepping stone to the latter, members of Senior Choir have always been offered every opportunity for individual accomplishments. Conseque ntly solos are many until even those who shiv- ered and shook upon rendering their first selection, very nonchalantly give the vocal chords free rein without the least hesitation! The selection of the adjective used in the first line was not without reason, for Senior Choir is one of the liveliest and gayest groups in the whole school, and despite their many accomplishments and the various sometimes-not-so-pleasant routines they have to go through with, there is no conceit because of success, and no frowns because of tasks. Their director, Mr. E. Carl Lundgren, is continually the choir ' s inspira- tion in all its activities, and with his cheery and patient guidance, combined with skillful aid, the Senior Choir really goes to town.

This organization, for the most part, is made up of underclassmen selected from the chorus classes by the music teachers. The choir is comprised of about ninety members selected from over four hundred chorus students. Since there has to be a limit to the number of members, many musically inclined and enthusiastic students are excluded, but the admittance of new members to fill the vacancies at the mid-semester gives the desirous ones a chance to step into the coveted posi- tion of the A Cappella or Senior Choir. Mr. Benedict, the choir ' s capable director, has developed a difficult vocal arrangement known as eight-part singing. Besides this, vocal tech- nique is practiced. Sight reading, tone color and interpretation are the accomplishments the choir unceasingly strive for. Their efforts are inspired by the desire to become a member of one of the advanced choirs. The requirements are musical inclinations, ability, scholarship, and a class room spirit above that of an ordinary chorus class. The Junior Choir, although a young organization, has appeared on sev- eral programs. With their goal in mind, the members enthusiastically support the performance of the two advanced choirs. We have no doubt that whatever height they attain, not only will the name of S. H. S. be enhanced, but also the members of the Junior Choir will benefit by the fundamental training tendered to them in the Junior Choir. The 1936 Capitoline One Hundred Left to Right: M. V. Grubb, L.

The question was, Resolved: that the several states should enact legis- lation providing complete medical service to all citizens at public expense. There was much material available, since this question is very vital, and has attracted much attention by important national interest. In the first round of debates the Philos defeated the Illini, the Delphics defeated the Thalians, and the Les Bas won a decision from the Cafeteria Council team, which engaged in debate for the first time this year. The Philos defeated the Delphics in the semi-finals, for which the Les Bas drew a bye. In the finals, the Les Bas affirmative team defeated the Philo negative team. The Les Bas team was composed of Eleanor Lloyd, Patricia Phillips, and Dorothy Wexler; the Philo, of Aurelia Laurenzana, Mary Virginia Grubb, and Alice Hester ; Delphics, Dwight Smith, John Trutter, and Robert Mitchell. The Thalians sent the team of Evelyn Starkey, Leonore Magill. and Judy Gallagher; the Cafeteria Council, Eugene Coyner, Ray Majors, and Bob Johnson; and the Illini, Rowland Gardner, Bill DeBoice, and Virgil Bateman. The debate season offers an opportunity for students who are interested in forensics or in research. Books and current magazines must be consulted to learn about the question. Many of the debaters this year were under-classmen, and the training and experience they have received this year will make for a good series of debates next year. The silver cup for which the teams compete is offered by the P. T. A. Vachel Lindsay Edition One Hundred On Street Scene of Pageant WHITHER, O YOUTH? The old order passes and gives way to the new. Thus the magnificent E. Rourke-written and M. Rourke-directed pageant, Whither, O Youth? replaced the traditional Senior Class Play. Reminding one of a De Mille production with its gigantic cast, massive settings, and tense dramatic situations, this masque-pageant-drama, so called because it was a combination of all three, proved to be a brilliant festival of widely-varied artistic achievement. Basically, Whither, O Youth? showed high school graduates with potentialities for wholesome development, lured to degradation by modern commercialized recreation. Then, in contrast, are presented the opportuni- ties for recreations of the increased leisure which is coming under the auspices of a cooperative commonwealth. Presented in a striking manner, the idea of the pageant was driven home, as well as the presentation being a marvelous coordination of prepa- ration and execution. To designate the leading roles is difficult, for each person taking part had decidedly a principal niche all his own. However, as the story revolved about the four graduates, Jack Brittin, Margaret Ellis, Joe Muldoon, and Mary Morris, they, with Dame Nature, Father Time, and the three God- desses of the Past, Present, and Future, would in all probability be termed the principal characters. The gorgeous parade of authors, statesmen, scientists, poets, military heroes, religious characters, mythological beings, and persons from famous books, of the past and present of every nation, will long be remembered as one of the most inspiring and exciting spectacles ever witnessed. Again contrary to custom of the past, the participants in the pageant were chosen from all over the city, and not confined merely to the Senior Class of the High School. Consequently, with such a wide range, perfectly adapted individuals were found for each role. A true masterpiece contrived and consummated by true masters. The 1936 Capitoline Hundred Two Colorful Prom ends Social Activities for Seniors at S. H. S. THE PROM OF 1935 One of the most brilliant dances of last year was the Junior-Senior Prom which will long be remembered by those that attended. The careful plan- ning, colorful decorations and unique lighting effects made the Prom of 1935 the most outstanding of the annual dances. Over one hundred and fifty couples attended the Prom, many of whom were attending their last dance in S. H. S., while many Juniors were having a joyful beginning. The gaiety and frivolity, the subdued laughter of beauti- ful girls and handsomely groomed escorts, mingled with some regret on the part of the graduating Seniors, gave an atmosphere that will leave its imprint on the memory of those who attended. This event, the last social occasion for the class as a whole, is one that is annually held and each year seems to be bigger and better. The decorations were cleverly devised and certainly gave the desired effect — that of a garden. The overhead streamers became a beautiful multi- colored sky instead of the high gym ceiling, while rose cover-trellis covered the bare walls. In the shadows of the overhanging branches rustic benches were partly hidden. At one end, enclosed by a low white fence, a terrace was located on which were comfortable and colorful lawn swings and chairs surrounded by gay flowers, palms and ferns. The brilliant spotlights gave the effect of a moon splashing its hazy glow over the picturesque garden. This setting, combined with the swaying of beautifully gowned figures to the enchanting music of Fred Slater and his eight-piece orchestra, created quite a glamorous spectacle.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The Honor Society is a National organization founded in 1919 with over 1800 chapters. The objectives of the Society are to create an enthus- iasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character. In order to be eligible scholastically, a student must have maintained a general average of B for his entire high school career and have made at least four A ' s and two B ' s in one or more major subjects. The members of the faculty who check and average the grades and prepare the lists of possible candidates for membership are Miss Clapper, chairman; Miss Bundy, Miss Dean, Mr. McCoy, and Miss Woods. Then these lists are sub- mitted to the faculty and administration for final decision. Each semester an assembly is held in recognition of the achievements of Honor students. For the past two years it has been possible for the pictures of January and May Honor Society members to appear in the Capitoline due to the fact that elections were held at the end of the second term of their last semester. It is rather interesting to note that in each of the last two January classes there were twenty members and in each of the last two May classes there were forty-six. The 1936 Capitoline One Hundred Fou Courtiers and Bubble Dancers of Briar Rose BRIAR ROSE As a delightful and distinctive deviation from the two previous years of Dramusiques, the Choral Department presented that charming fairy tale, Briar Rose, in operatic form as its annual musical production. The Legend of Sleeping Beauty is loved the world over because of the childhood memories that associate themselves with it. That time when such beings as the revengeful Renaulda and the dainty Fairy Queen truly existed, and so vivid was the imagination and vision of dashing princes such as Florizel, lovely princesses as Briar Rose, sly and taunting Drago, jolly jesters like Jorian, that all sorts of quaint and amusing creatures paraded before the mental eye. So convincing was the entire cast ' s portrayal of these characters, the story actually seemed to live once again. Imparting a grace and charm all her own to the characterization of Briar Rose, the unfortunate princess, who in her cradle has a curse of death placed upon her by Renaulda, the fairy who was not invited by the rulers of Loro- vaine to the christening feast of their daughter, Nona Joy Moor instantly captured the hearts of her audience. Farrell Fiedler was outstanding in the role of the gallant Florizel of Tuscany, the maiden ' s lover and rescuer, who, when the curse has been alleviated by the gracious Fairy Queen to one of long years of slumber, awakens her through his own daring and bravery. Mr. Lundgren, the combined choirs, and the orchestra, as well as all who had any part in the production, are to be congratulated on their mag- nificent accomplishment.

ADVANCED ORCHESTRA The Advanced Orchestra has added to its growing prestige in the city by the completion of a successful year. During this, his first year at Spring- field High School, the new director, Mr. Clarence Sauer has led the or- chestra in the mastery of some extremely difficult numbers. In their annual spring concert, presented this year jointly with the two choirs, the orchestra attained their goal of symphonic mastery, combined with ease and grace of execution. The year ' s work featured Grofe ' s On The Trail and the Danse Macabre by Saint-Saens. Both classical and semi-classical selections are practiced. The Theatre Orchestra played the orchestrations for the operetta Briar Rose and for the pageant Whither, O Youth? The Theatre Or- chestra contains only a small part of the membership of the orchestra and its preparation for public appearances is extra-curricular. Although the entire orchestra did not go to the Big Twelve meet at Pekin on May 1, instrumental music in S. H. S. was represented there by the boys ' string sextet. The orchestra played for graduation and appeared in concert before the North Central Teachers ' Association. The Prep Orchestra under the direction of Mr. Sauer prepares many members for the larger field of the Advanced Orchestra. It also participated in two concerts. The work of the orchestra is praised by students and faculty and the parents and others in the city interested in the orchestra follow its per- formances attentively and give it much just praise.

GLEE CLUE FRESHMAN GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB This newly organized group has made astounding progress during the year. For some time there has been a desire to devise some way of arousing the girls who are musically inclined during their Freshman year, so this year that ambition was reached by an enthusiastic group of Freshmen girls under the capable leadership of Miss Elizabeth Rule. The club was organized with the idea to do more finished choral work than that offered in the regular chorus classes. Not only will it reach that height, but will also prepare the members for further advanced choirs, Junior, Senior and A Cappella. Before this time there has been no thorough preparation of this sort, thus slowing down the possible progress the advanced choirs might make. So in the future the new choir members will be capable of carrying on their choral work without further introduction. The girls have appeared on several interesting programs, one of which was their initial radio broadcast on April 15. This is an honor for such a young group. Probably the biggest highlight of the year will be their trip to Pekin to take part in the Big Twelve Festival. Without a doubt the accomplishments made this year by the Glee Club are worthy of our praise, and next year in order to surpass this group an exceedingly high goal will have to be reached.

PHILOMACHIANS The Philos have taken their literary work quite seriously this year, as their program plainly reveals. Best sellers, a review by Miss Marie Dean of The River Runs Deep, drama, and a thrilling and fascinating travel talk by Miss Lucie Alexander about her summer trip to Europe, on which she was accompanied by Miss Miriam Steinmiller, were outstanding subjects of club meetings. Festive with Christmas hangings and abounding in holiday spirit, the annual Mothers ' Tea held this year on December 17 was the usual success. Drama played a leading part in this program also, in a light, gay, lilting comedy and a mere serious, thoughtful play. Several of the beloved old carols rounded out this meeting fittingly. One of the most valuable and beneficial gatherings was presided over by the woman physician, Dr. Whitman, who gave the girls countless health hints, and allowed them to ask all the questions they desired. The Kick-Off on November 9 was among the first dances of the season, and really started the ball rolling in true gala style. Contrary to the usual procedure, the Philos had no spring formal, but aided their active Alumnae chapter in the latter ' s dance, held in May. There must be a pecuniary substance in a treasury, so to enlarge upon that, the club held several candy sales at teachers ' institute in October and in the hall at school in March. The record which the Philos have had this year and past ones, and the stand they have taken in the school ' s activities, can be mainly attributed to Miss Burnett, whose title of adviser is fully carried out in the understand- ing and gracious manner in which she advises the organization.

The member- ship has grown rapidly since the first year, until the group now numbers about twenty members. Carefully chosen for literary and scholastic achieve- ments, all the members are prominent in school activities. The club, under the capable guidance of the Misses Elizabeth E. Graham and Susan E. Wilcox, presented the pageant for the dedication of the Lind- say memorial statue, and Lindsay Memorial Bridge spanning Lake Spring- field, in the Dedication celebration. The club members are required to furnish creative writing at specified periods, the best of which is chosen and bound in a record book. Many social functions have also been given by the members of the Vachel Lindsay Club. The Cake Walk Dance at the Illinois Business Col- lege, and the entertainment of Mrs. Olive Lindsay Wakefield, sister of the late Vachel Lindsay, are the highlights of the club ' s social year. One of the humorous highlights of the club ' s life was the presentation of Two Crooks and a Lady before the Buffalo Hart Community Club. The guns refused to fire and the makeup melted but a sumptuous dinner revived the fallen spirits of the disgruntled actors. The club will cease to be a High School club upon May 22, when its members graduate. From that time it is to be a civic organization, since the members feel that it would be an advantage to all to continue the firm friendships that almost constant contacts have made.

LOTUS CLUB The Lotus is no longer a bud, but has burst into full, rich bloom; or in somewhat less flowery language, and coming directly to the point, the Lotus Club of Springfield High School has steadily grown in all ways since its founding only a few years ago. The little sister among the other sister clubs, so called merely because of the comparative recentness of its organi- zation, has quickly taken its place as one of the school ' s leading groups. With that delightful Japanesey name, it is in every sense of the word a true literary society. The program for the past year included Pulitzer Prize novel reports by the various members. That alone is definite assurance of the girls ' earnest desire to carry out the aims of their organization, namely, that of enriching their lives through the discussion of books. However, all time wasn ' t spent on enrichment in that direction. There is another part to that code, which states that enrichment is also gained through particip ation in normal social activities of high school girls. Con- sequently, a Japanese Tea was held in the spring, and proved to be one of their most successful and enjoyable gatherings. Like the other clubs, the Lotus members also prepared and sent Thanks- giving and Christmas baskets to the needy, as their bit to create a little happiness and good cheer. To Miss Neblick, the club ' s adviser, should go much of the credit for the experiencing of such a successful year, on which the organization now retrospects. Without her helpful advice, efficient aid, and charming, gra- cious manner, such a year could never have been. ru s Vachel Lindsay Edition OFFICERS President Nova Nell Blankenship V .

T odd J Dill er LES BAS BLEUS The Champs! er excuse, perhaps we should have said the victorious ele- cutionary altercationists, a phrase more befitting to a literary society having its descent from French court ladies. Never-the-less this is the winning debate organization whatever phrase is used. To their grand team, Dorothy Wexler, Eleanor Lloyd, and Patricia Phillips, goes the honor of downing all the rest of the club ' s choice contestors by their own verbal superiority (what man can out-talk a woman anyway?). The present society of the Les Bas Bleus adheres yet to the standards and principals of its French predecessor in that its members continually strive for development of literary taste and cultural betterment. They endeavor at all times to have a pleasant sociality prevail at their meetings and under the expert guidance of Miss Elinor Crook a varied and thoroughly delightful program was carried out during the past year. The festive Christmas party and meetings, including the Mothers ' Tea, were gatherings long to be remembered, while here and there a bit o ' music and drama, with top billing given to an Alaskan Travelogue by Miss Hager, an honorary member of the society. Miss Hager visited the far North last summer, and her vivid descriptions interested the girls immensely. Both Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets were distributed by this group, and as to their Spring Formal Dance on May 9 — words fail us. Per- haps that alone will be enough to explain why it was considered one of the most successful of the season. In truth the court ladies have spent a highly profitable year, literally, socially, and shall we say — controversally. OFFICERS President Rosemary Irvine V.

JUNIOR ETUDE If, on a Tuesday afternoon after school, you chance to wander through the building, you may be instantly aware of the soft whine of violins, or the impassioned twang of the piano, and know that this must be the Junior Etude meeting. This group of future Mozarts and Beethovens are held together by a common love and appreciation for the musical masterpieces of the ages. The altruistic aims of this musical organization are to give talented students an opportunity to appear before a sympathetic audience, to listen intelli- gently to selections, to understand and appreciate good music. This year the club studied composers of the classical, romantic, and modernistic schools. Mr. Benedict entertained the Junior Etude club at his home with a Hallowe ' en party. This affair was the social highlight of the Junior Etude year. The Morning Etude presented an unusual program early in the year. At the last broadcast of the year, the program of the Junior Choir will be supplemented by the Junior Etude members. The success of the Junior Etude club is due to the subtle skill of the program chairman, and the adviser, Mr. Roger J. Benedict. The club draws its members from all over the school; anyone may join who is musical in any instrumental or vocal way. Most of the members are quite talented, many taking part in the Big Twelve Conference at Pekin. There seems to be a brilliant future for these seekers of Orpheus.

The literary programs have included a discussion by Miss McCambridge on etiquette problems based on her observations made while attending a Home Economics convention in Chicago. Miss Dorothy Bundy gave a travel talk on Alaska. Her descriptions were made especially interesting by pictures and maps. Doctor O ' Hara described Mexican villages, and gave a vivid picture of bull-fighting in this old atmosphere. He passed out cards to illustrate his talk. Mrs. Sandmeyer reviewed the current hit, Spring Comes On Forever. A talk, Women in Progress, was given by Mrs. Clara Bell Graves. The seniors who were to leave their society upon graduation were hon- ored at a luncheon at the University Club on January Eleventh. The graduating seniors were presented with compacts as a farewell gift. Helen Ayer gave the toast to the seniors and Ada Marie Combs gave the response. Gwendolyn Kitsch prepared the prophecies for the future of the members. Charlotte Weis sang a vocal solo, and Betty McNamara concluded the pro- gram with a dance. This luncheon will be long remembered by many who are now alumnae. In inter-society debate, the Thalian team was defeated, although they presented a very good case. The tea for the Mothers, held on May 14, was an outstanding program as was also the formal initiation. The officers and the adviser, Miss Nelch, have worked very successfully this year to maintain and broaden the literary contacts of the girls.

As they review the past year, it seems to have been very successful. The society holds its meetings in the evenings, and the programs are very attractive. The boys have been privileged this year to hear such dis- tinguished speakers as Judge Harlington Wood, Mr. Charles Dungan, Mr. Loud, Coach Nusspickle of Illinois College, and their own adviser, Mr. Lewis Brown. The social season was brightened by the annual Wrangler Dance, a gala affair held in December. A second dance, that is to surpass all other events, is planned as we go to press. The Wranglers have sent highly successful teams into inter-society athletics. The football team ended the season with a record unmarred by defeats. The basketball team held a one-win edge over other contestants at the end of the season. In the school baseball tournament the Wranglers held second place. Credit for these victories must go to boys who are not par- ticularly famed in school as athletic heroes, because the boys who are on the school teams are not eligible for inter-society play. Among othe r successes we must number politics, for the presidents, Paris and Wiley, were elected presidents of their respective classes. The club did not enter inter-society debate. Many of the Wranglers who have been active in these many phases of Wrangler interests are graduates this year. These boys, however, leave the club very confidently to the under-graduate members who will carry on. Vachel Lindsay Edition OFFICERS George Paris Pres James Wiley Bill Giffin V.

Beginning the year with some lively pledges working whole heartedly with the regular members gave the club an enthusiastic sendoff. The football team started the ball rolling by defeating several of their associate club teams. They also participated in the inter-society base- ball tournament. Besides being prominent in athletic activities, they entered, as custom- ary, in the inter-society debates and really displayed their forensic ability. On the twenty-third of November the Delphics gave their first dance of the year in a true Thanksgiving manner, for a real live turkey was given to the holder of the lucky chance. Unique decorations, including paper streamers, corn fodder, orange lights, balloons, and confetti added to its success. The Delphics, in conjunction with the Wranglers, completed their social activities by giving a Pre-Prom Prance, which was one of the most successful dances of the season, the tuxedoed lads of Frank Hodalski pro- viding the swing. The programs for the year were carefully planned and a variety of interesting ones were held, including informal speeches, vocal and instru- mental music, a speech by Mr. R. A. Drysdale, sports editor of the Illinois State Journal, and several debates. Letters were awarded this year to those that had participated in a cer- tain amount of club activities, thus giving the members something to work toward. The reliable guidance of their adviser certainly contributed to this year ' s attainment, as well as the capable administration of its enthusiastic officers.

Efficiency and like standards are now the keynotes of business. Each generation will bring forth its crop of new, exact stenographers. We have in our midst a group of girls who are interested in commercial activities, known as the Transcripts. This newly organized club has made vast progress, and with the aims they have in mind, we feel that they will continue to do so. Their purpose is to eliminate the incompetent stenographer, to assist the competent worker to find a better position, to be of assistance to em- ployers in securing an efficient emanuenses, to acquaint the members with books and periodicals of their chosen profession, and to promote social gatherings to give the organization the status of a professional club. Mr. L. O. Lindstrom of Gregg Publishing Company, Miss Annabel Crum of MacMurray College, and Miss LaVeda Rodenburg, club adviser, are among the speakers on the club ' s program. During the Christmas holidays, the club gave a tea at the University Club for its members, their mothers, and the commercial faculty. The club also represented the commercial department at a P. T. A. meeting by giving a typing demonstration. The club owes a great measure of its rapid growth and success to the efficient and steady leadership of Miss Rodenburg.

T omlin FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The Springfield Chapter of Future Farmers of America is a part of the national organization of high school boys studying vocational agriculture. The organization, which was launched in 1928, now has a membership of 100,000 in its 5,000 chapters all over the United States. The primary aim of the club is to develop agricultural leadership. It also endeavors to create an interest in a more intelligent choice of farming occupations, to create a liking for country life, to improve the farm home, to raise scholarship levels, and to show those boys now enrolled in voca- tional agriculture how to become the most progressive, thrifty, and educated farmers of the next generation. The club ' s milk-judging team, composed of Max Summers, Bob Sal- lenger, Alvin Mavis, and Charles Kloppenburg, won the State championship in 1934-35. The team also placed third at the National contest at Kansas City. At this contest, Bob Sallenger placed second in individual competition. In 1934-35 the State Farmer Degree was awarded to Max Summers. The club is entering 1935-36 competition, with Max Summers as candidate for the American Farmer Degree, and Howard Moore, Alvin Mavis, and Charles Kloppenburg as aspirants to the State Farmer degree. The activities which are initiated and directed by boys supplement the systematic class instruction received by all those enrolled in a vocational agriculture course. In addition to practical instruction the club encourages recreational activities among farmers. Mr. Tomlin, the adviser, takes a great personal interest in the boys and their projects, and works to develop the club. OFFICERS President Max Summers V.

These boys study manual arts and woodwork and many of them have hobbies in this field also. Since there are many problems coincident to excellence in this field, the boys organized together in order that they might profit by common discoveries in the various fields of manual training. Their program included a demonstration of the E. and F. Resuscitator by the Vancil Funeral home. A demonstration on welding proved very inter- esting in conjunction with other electrical discussions. The appliances used by the meter works were showed and discussed for the boys. An exhibi- tion of etching and its intricacies was given. A talk on swords interested the boys very much and was an incentive for accuracy in craftsmanship. The boys ' aims as an organization are to encourage industrial arts and craftsmanship and to create a closer relationship between home and school. These aims, coupled with their very instructive programs, make their career worthy of the position of the literary societies. Although not particularly social-minded, the club had an outing at Washington Park, at which the refreshments were a particularly enjoyable feature. Mr. Owens ' leadership and his own individually skilled craftsmanship is an invaluable asset to the club.

A. carried on most of the past year under the expert guid- ance of Miss Mather, gym instructor at Central. And when we say carry on we mean the organization kept right up to previous standards in both membership and activities. There are over two hundred active, enthusiastic girls belonging to this ever-growing organization just in Springfield High School alone. Only last year a branch was formed at Converse High School. Every type of ball sport is engaged in by these athletes: baseball, volleyball, basketball, and kickball. Archery in the spring and fall is fast becoming more popular with every bend of the bow. There isn ' t hockey, we presume, for the main and simple reason that there is no rink — as yet, but there ' ll come a time! Awards were given at the Recognition Assembly in the spring for the whole year ' s work. So many points are won in doing certain things every day in the way of forming healthful habits and others are earned by passing various tests of goal shooting, et cetera. For six hundred of these points a red and black S.H.S. is given. For twelve hundred points the big he-man S ; sixteen hundred points wins a letter I , and the great, grand total of two thousand points draws the most coveted emblem of all, cut in the shape of the State of Illinois and made of black and white felt.

GIRLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Glorious hikes and picnics stepped into the line of activities, too, and gala Hallowe ' en and Christmas parties provided fun and jollity for all. Again this year as last, the G. A. A. held an April Fool Carnival, cele- brating that tricky, impish day for one entire week. During the lunch hour skill games were played by students attending the carnival grounds (Senior Gym), and the one winning the most points received a two dollar prize. Byron, one of the Booth boys, carried off the always-welcome lucre this year. The year, as usual, was brought to a close with the picturesque and lovely May Day Banquet, at which the graduating members were the toasted guests. The girls belonging to this organization are not held by any restrictions from joining other clubs, as those who are members of a literary group are from joining any other major society. Consequently many of them belong to other organizations of the school, and are always found to be living up to the ideals of good sportsmanship and clean living in whatever they par- ticipate. Thus an athletic association readily demonstrates its skill in producing upstanding, healthy, cooperative citizenesses who will and have proved they are completely fitted for serving as every citizeness should. However, our own particular G. A. A., without the unfailing zeal, the friendliness, and skillful leadership of the faculty sponsors, Miss Lomelino and Miss Mather, who kept the ball rolling, could never have had the suc- cessful season as the last one has been. To both of these instructors should go much of the credit for the Girls ' Athletic Association ' s top-notch year. Vachel Lindsay Edition OFFICERS Second Semester President Mary Jane Otten V.

CAFETERIA COUNCIL This organization ' s fine service to the school, apparent to any observer of the Cafeteria Council at work, is complemented by the training the mem- bers themselves receive. The society maintains a record of over 90 per cent perfect attendance at every meeting, and the maintenance of perfect order is one of their goals. The Council is unique among school societies in having these qualities. The lunch-time meal of over eighteen hundred students and teachers is in the hands of the eighty or more students who comprise the Cafeteria Council, assisted by the women who are employed for full time work in the Cafeteria. It speaks well for the efficiency of the organization that this large crowd is handled in forty minutes with a minimum of confusion and disturbance. In the Cafeteria the service is quick, the food appetizing and clean, attracting the student. The novice begins at a humble position, such as scraper, and promotions are made according to ability and ambition. The coveted positions, those of checker and cashier, are the rewards of long and faithful service. Each position carries its weight of responsibility and every worker is on his mettle. The system of advancement by merit benefits the student body which patronizes the Cafeteria, and benefits the workers themselves, who are thus encouraged to high standards of industry and service. Effi- ciency and cooperation are promoted by having each member understand the problems and responsibilities of his fellows. Each worker is given a head-start in the business world by his experi- ence in the Cafeteria. FIRST SEMESTER OFFICERS President Owen Harney V. Pres Marvin Reynolds Junior V.

The programs are interesting, and include speeches, debates, recitations, plays, and music, much like the programs of the literary societies. The members usually present the programs, but guest entertainers are occasionally invited to lend variety. The meetings are intended not only for social purposes, but also to increase the efficiency of the Cafeteria. Ideas for bettering the Cafeteria service are discussed by the group. The ultimate purpose of the meetings is to get the members better acquainted, since they come from a wide variety of homes. The membership is very cosmopolitan, and must be welded together for better cooperation. For the first time, the Council sent a team into the inter-society debates. The team was defeated by the Les Bas, but gave a brilliant showing. Much interest was displayed in this new activity. At Christmas and in the spring, the group held breakfasts which were very much enjoyed. A candy sale was promoted to increase the treasury. The student body receives much benefit from this organization, as well as those students whose cooperation makes its operation possible, but each group has, in turn, a debt to Mrs. Jones, whose capable management is the directing force of the entire undertaking.

S. includes four very capable men. Mark Peterman, athletic director, and basketball coach; Bill Roellig, football coach; John Teuscher, football line coach, and track mentor; and Charles Petefish, the freshman football, track, and basketball trainer. Last year Peterman ' s boys copped the state, and for six years now Roellig ' s gridsters have been winning the Big 12. Teuscher ' s thinclads have broken no world ' s records as yet, but Uncle John will tell you it won ' t be long. Petefish ' s frosh are taught the fundamentals, and are trained by him for future work with the other coaches. However, they do turn in the city title now and then. The financial matters concerned with the Athletic Department are, and have been for about the last eight years, under the watchful eyes of Jesse Sanders. This year the captains of the football squad were elected equally by the votes of the squad. Bill Gingold and Dick Bennett were chosen, each being acclaimed equally. Gingold was line captain, and Bennett backfield captain.

Varsity Football Team FOOTBALL Starting out on the road to their sixth consecutive intra-city champion- ship, Roellig ' s 1935 Red and Black gridsters copped the first victory of the season from the Cathedral eleven, when they came out on the long end of a 20-12 score. Bennett and Fultz dually contributed most of the twenty points, Ben- nett making his on short line plunges, and Fultz scoring on a spectacular forty-seven yard sprint, the climax of which was a pulled ligament in his leg, necessitating his removal from the game. On the losers ' side, Reynolds, Frisch, and Seiz did a good offense job, and also played a head-up defensive game, Reynolds and Frisch contribut- ing the only scores for the visitors. The following week-end, Coach Nolan of East St. Louis brought his boys up north and had to bow to defeat before the hands of the Capital City gridsters, the final count being 6-0. The six point lead was sufficient to win the game, but it also showed Roellig ' s machine that heavy practice was needed before Big 12 competition began. Scotty McGaw and Harold McCarty turned out to be the stars in this game, as the ground gained by each was not only outstanding but also very unusual for so early in the season. Harold McCarty made the only touchdown, this as a result of a steady drive down the field by McGaw, McCarty, and Dedinas, McGaw adding twenty yards by snagging a beauti- ful pass from McCarty. The 1936 Capitoline One Hundred Thirty Playing beneath water-laden skies, and on a rain-soaked gridiron, the local squad was able to push only four markers across the end zone, to beat the Urbana eleven 26-0. One man again was responsible for carrying the pigskin across, but it took more than one man to get him there. He was, of course, Dick Bennett, but the men indirectly responsible for the goals were: Irwin, Gingold, Cooper, Paris, Paulek, Wilkinson, Roof, McCarty, McGaw, and Fultz. Coach Bill Roellig showed he had mercy in his heart when he eased up his warriors, because in all events the total score could have been way above the final recording. The batting average was still 1000, then came the annual Turkey Day Battle. People were worried. Would Roellig ' s chain of victories be broken? Well, Bill pulled through again, dropping the 1935 grid curtain on another perfect season by tramping Kinter ' s boys 34-7. The crown of the Big Twelve Conference was regally placed on Spring- field ' s worthy brow for the sixth consecutive time. The setting was as usual, a crowd of about 1,500 shivering humans, cold wintry day, broken by slight snow flurries, and the grudge battle of athletes taking place on the hard field. McCarty and Fultz put on a point-making campaign, and did a nice job of it. Fultz playing one of the most remarkable blocking and kicking games ever seen in the Thanksgiving combats, piled up about three hundred yards on his punts. The second half of the game Roellig spent in whipping next year ' s team into shape. Good luck, Bill. Second Football Team Top ; P. Ea: itman. Wolf, C. Gadert. Ov s, D. Elli ot, Mc Ca rthy.

Freshman Team Topping their weaker opponents by 14 points, the Red and Black Sen- ators maintained their post at the head of the Big 12 race by handing Bloom- ington a 34-20 trouncing. By starting early in the game to pile up a nice lead, the Springfield boys were able to take their time during the last periods, having a 34-0 lead at the end of the first three quarters, when the seconds allowed Bloom- ington to push over twenty points. Bennett shoved the pigskin over the two-yard stripe for the score of the game. The next scores were made by McCarty and Fultz, each on about seventy-five yard runs, McCarty in a brilliant exhibition of open field run- ning, and Fultz converting his on an intercepted pass. The Solons played an all-around good game, shining on offense by gain- ing 216 yards on line plays, and losing only seven; on defense they allowed the Saar-coached outfit to gain only 63 yards on line plays, and set them back for a loss of 28 yards. Knuckles Down— Tension High — Whst Next? The 1936 Capitoline One Hundred Thirty-two Subtleties and hike — the plunge Playing a point-a-minute game, the S. H. S. gridsters piled up a 54-8 win over the Railsplitters, to chalk up their third conference victory. From the opening kick-off, Bennett romped sixty-three yards to a touchdown, also adding another in the third quarter. Fultz, Roof, McCarty, Irwin, and Dedinas were the other contributors to the score column, each adding six points, excepting Fultz, who put in fourteen points. The Red and Black found little opposition, banging away at the goal zone on pass and lateral plays, and smooth line plays. The game statistics found S. H. S. with only eight first downs, to seven for Lincoln, but the Solons gained four times as much ground as the Railsplitters. The first few minutes of the game was a perfect aerial circus, the ball being flipped hither and yon by both sides on forward and lateral passes. The Lincolnites had better luck here than Springfield ' s boys however, as they completed six out of twelve, while the Senators were successful on only three out of eight. They ' re oS! Rhythn Football Vachel Lindsay Edition Hundred Thirty-thr Whither. O Ball ' Fearing a possible repetition of the defeat Carlinville handed them in 1933, the locals employed a diversified aerial and running attack to hand the Marshall coached outfit a 20-0 trouncing. The game, played beneath cloudy skies and on a slippery gridiron, was chuck-full of thrills, as the elusive pigskin was flipped in the air from man to man. McGaw, Irwin, and Bennett contributed the markers, one of these being the most spectacular plays of the season. It was in the third period when Bennett faded back, eluded several tacklers, and heaved a twenty-seven yard pass to McGaw, who broke loose and ran forty-three yards for a touchdown. This game, the last game before the five Big 12 games, was played with Feitshans, and the Solons not only coasted into the intra-city championship for the fourth time, but also showed that they were in fine shape for the stiff competition to come. The final gun sounded and the scoreboard read Springfield 25, Feitshans 0. The line power, aerial competition, and backfield running by the locals proved too much for the South-siders, as in each quarter the Roellig boys broke through for a marker. Having this championship under their belts, the Red and Black war- riors then went after new blood, taking on and defeating Peoria Central, their first Big 12 foe, to the tune of 26-12. Resuming their aerial game, Springfield completed ten passes, not in- cluding the seven laterals, for a gain of 171 yards, an average of 17 yards a pass plus about forty yards on the laterals.

BILL RIDGELY — Dead-Eye Ridge, they called him. No man was as deadly as Bill when it came to a crisis for needed points. QUENTIN ENGLE— Quint held down the forward post, and played good ball all year. If he can stay eligible next season, he ' s sure to be valuable. DUANE FULTZ — Purvis was one of the most popular players Pete has ever had. He is especially admired by autograph-seeking females. HAROLD McCARTY — One of the most consistent basketeers ever playing for S.H.S., Mac will also aid the next year ' s squad in their goal, the State Championship.

Bottom Row: MANAGER JAMES WILEY — Pete played with the team until illness got the best of him, but even then he became a trusty manager. DALE HINCKLE — Dale supplied plenty of scrappy competition for the first five during practice tilts, and was a clever ball handler. DICK BENNETT — Starting the season in poor form, Bennett didn ' t hit his stride until the end of the year, but he did plenty then. NICK WOLOSHYN — Handsome Nick, the White Hope, was another dead-eye who will be a mainstay next year. NEILE FERGUSON — Another scrappy fighter who didn ' t see much action before crowds, but who helped to whip the varsity into shape. PAGE STEPHENS — This Blond Adonis wooed — and won. Tad often could be heard humming a pretty ditty to his opponents. HENRY FRANZ — Hank is one of the best small boys to ever play for the locals. He was a diminutive stick of T. N. T., and persistent as Cerberus. MANAGER LEROY EVERHART— He was a tiny bit larger than small Hank, but probably a better manager for the extra height! Vachel Lindsay Edition One Hundred Thirty-five BASKETBALL Opening their season on December 6, the Red and Black cagers started in smooth form by hand- ing the Murrayville five a 32-26 beating. McCarty showed up as the best material in this game by turning in ten points. Bob Miller con- tributed eight, and Fultz scored five. Following this game, Pete took his boys on an extended vacation, playing Clinton there on De- cember 11, and beating them 17-13. Again Mc- Carty pulled through for the locals with ten points. Daily and Fultz were the only other con- tributors to the cause. Daily adding four and Fultz three. On the twenty-first, Galesburg knocked the Red DECATUR RETRIEVING and Black off to the tune of 20-18. Then the locals traveled to Vin- cennes, Indiana, to drop a game to the Indiana State Champs, 29-22. On the twenty-eighth, the boys played at Eldorado, Illinois, and topped them 36-14. Then on De- cember 20, the Solons trampled Rushville, 27-19, and came home to play Cathedral on the second day of the new year. When the smoke cleared from this game, Springfield ' s scalp was on the Cathedral pole, to the war whoop of 23-21. THE TIP OFF The 1936 Capitoline One Hundred Thirty-: FULTZ UP! to play another Big Twelve game, and to the great disappointment of Peterman, the team, and the school, were beaten by one point, the final score being 21-20. Then came the Alumni fray. The last-year State Champs trounced the locals 21-18. Scheffler, Sapp, Nunes, Feaman, and Kerin showed that their training under Pete was not soon forgotten, for they played a neat ball game.

Pete changed his tactics on the fourth, and at Carlin- ville the boys turned the tide for a 24-21 victory which was hard-earned and amply deserved. January tenth found Peterman ' s traveling bas- keteers in Bloomington, and there winning a 24-18 battle. On the seventeenth they came home to play Decatur, and in this melee the Decaturites came out ahead, 19-15. On the eighteenth the squad went to Quincy Athens Goes to Town Vachel Lindsay Edition One Hundred Thirty-seve K llUm B | |v ll Hp 2 fl  ' jB IS M ' ih, ' - ' -M ' wr T f | B SsI| ■ i li BSB 1 ;j.bSb1 III j B Mj M Wm ' J k m m p 1 p || K J B 1 H| |f B S 8 r ZbSbI bS B l] |bSJ bS b J Second row: R.

Freshman Basketball Team The other Big 12 games with Quincy, Peoria Central, Decatur, and Urbana, playing each team twice except Urbana, found the locals split even with Quincy, drop two to Central, take one from Urbana, and split with Decatur. Thus the final chart of Big 12 standings found Springfield about the middle with five victories and six defeats. The prospects for the next year ' s championship look very bright, as of a squad of seventeen reporting this year, only five are lost through grad- uation. Bennett, Booth, Daily, Miller, and Roof, are the boys either graduated in February, or in May. Daily and Bennett playing the entire year did nice work, and will in all events leave hard gaps to fill next year. However, Fultz, McCarty, Pree, Woloshyn, Stephens, Engle, and Cav- anaugh will be the mainstays of the next year ' s hope, with Franz, Gadert, Hincklg, Ridgely, Ferguson, Maher, Watt, and several other uprising youths to help Pete along. One factor that will be in the favor of the coming hardwood squad will be the fact that the championship crown is lifted from our brow, and we will no longer be on the top where all the underdogs can take pot shots at us. This eliminates some of the stiff rivalry which the 1935-36 squad had to undergo. The 1936 Capitoline Hundred Thirty-, Top row, left to right: J. Hodgkinson, B. McAlexander, R. Swain, J. Maher, B.

Pups Basketball Team All in all the local basketeers turned in a fairly successful year. Their defeat in the sectional at the hands of the Decatur Reds was by no means a thing to be ashamed of, as the Kintner crew was more than average this year. Also the defeat was not as hard to take as it ordinarily would be, as the Decatur outfit finished in front of the pack at the State Finals. The season schedule contained ten home games and thirteen away, Peterman ' s tribe winning eleven and losing twelve. The games at home were split even, the opponents taking five, and the Solons copping five. The out-of-town games were approximately the same, the Red and Black losing seven and winning six. With a fair squad from which to pick, it was evident early in the year that the expectations of another State Championship team were very slim, as the Alumni game, consisting of the State Champs, and the new-comers, saw the Alumni barge ahead to a 21 to 18 victory. The next game was with the scrappy Athens outfit, which displayed a superior team to the Capital City boys, topping them 20-16 in the first game, and later in the season 21-19. The Big 12 competition started on the third of January with the locals being visitors of the Lincoln Railsplitters, and taking a 26-17 trouncing at their hands. However, on the following week-end, Bloomington took a 24-18 beating from the Senators, making our Big 12 batting average 500. Vachel Lindsay Edition One Hundred Thirty-. TRACK Inaugurating their track season with a triumph over the Lincoln Rail- splitters, the Red and Black thinclads look as if a victorious season is ahead. The versatile Duane Fultz starred in almost every event, getting a total of twenty points. He copped first in the discus with a throw of 113 feet, first in the shotput by a 44 foot 5 inch toss, first in the high hurdles in 17 seconds, and first in high jump by a 5 foot 4 inch leap. Bennett took first in the javelin and low hurdles, throwing the javelin 157 feet 2 inches, and running the hurdles in 27 seconds. The Senators piled up 76 2 3 points in all, over the 46 1 3 points of the Lincolnites. The Solons had nine first places as compared with Lin- coln ' s six. Evans of Springfield took first in the 400 yard dash, with Goble and Franz of Lincoln tying for second. The time for this event was 58 seconds. The broad jump and 100 yard dash were taken by Lynn of Lincoln, and he also took second in the 220 yard low hurdles. Many other boys for the locals did well, namely: Daily, McCarty, Waldmire, Johnston, Sikking, Hewitt, and Myers. Daily took second in the high jump, and the broad jump, and took third in the 100 yard dash; he also was one of the relay men, along with Hewitt, Johnston, and Bennett. McCarty copped second in the shot put, and tied with Sikking for second in the pole vault. Sikking also took second in the javelin.

Evans, E. Daily, H. Mc- Carty, H. Feltenstein, C. Davis. In the second track gathering of the year, a three way meet with Con- verse and Feitshans thinclads, the S. H. S. tracksters came out on top, fifty-two points ahead of Feitshans, their nearest rival. The final scoring found the Red and Black with 96 1 4 points, Feitshans with 34 4, and Con- verse 26. This intra-city meet showed that the competition between the smaller schools is still way below that of the superior Solons. The Red and Black copped thirteen firsts out of fifteen, also taking five seconds and tying for another. Duane Fultz again starred for the locals, as out of the three events he was allowed to enter in, he copped three firsts; these being high hurdles, discus, and shot put. Bennett and Irwin turned in two firsts apiece and Bennett also copped a second in the 100 yard dash, which Irwin won first in. Both of these boys were also on the relay team along with Johnston and Hewitt. Bennett won the javelin with a toss of 158 feet four inches, and the two-hundred yard low hurdles which he ran in :24.5. Irwin ' s other first was in the 220, which he copped in :23.6. Myers, McCarty, Evans, Daily, and Sikking also placed first for the Teuscher tribe. Myers turning in a winning mile with St. James in second ; Myers also running second to McCarty in the half mile run, and George of Feitshans pulling in third. McCarty also took third in the shot, and fourth in the discus. Evans ran the 440 in :56.S, with Fields of Feitshans second and Oberman third. Em Daily spinned to victory in the broad jump, leaping 19 feet 3y 2 inches to a first. Daily also ran a close second to Hogan in the SO yard dash, and took second in the high jump. The future of our tracksters looks encouraging. Vachel Lindsay Edition One Hundred Forty-i Top TO Maslow son, M Richter Kalisze w: R. Foster, M. H. , D. Dragoo, M. Ander- Luehrs, M. Virden, D. A.

Basketball, volleyball, baseball, archery, dancing, deck tennis, hiking, tennis, and various gymnastics are all first learned and then enjoyed. The basketball teams organize for contests in which, when the tournament is done, the champion is acclaimed. Volleyball trains the girls in alertness, cooperation, and teamwork, and also aids in building healthy bodies, as does deck tennis and hiking. Archery and baseball are enjoyed during the warmer weather, the girls playing outside on the playground. Archery trains the coordination of the eye with the muscles, and baseball supplies plenty of needed exercise. The freshmen gym classes are under the supervision of Miss Katherine Mather. The girls are required to take two years of gym, and in their freshman year they learn the fundamentals of all the games, as well as good sportsmanship. Dancing is taught the girls in order that they may learn grace and poise; dancing including ballroom, ballet, and tap, as well as specialty dancing. The Sophomore gym classes are under Miss Lomelino, in which ad- vanced work is done in all the aforenamed sports, and the girls are pre- pared for qualifying for G. A. A. work, of which Miss Lomelino is the advisor. The other branch of girl activities under her supervision is the girls ' rhythm class, in which the appreciation of rhythm in music is con- nected with the grace of dancing. Original dances are worked out to different compositions, and in many of the plays and assemblies given around the school, the dances are orig- inated and enacted by girls from this class.

S. is probably the most graceful and poised group of people to be found during the fifth period. These thirty girls, under the tutorage of Miss Grace Lomelino, have for the last semester devoted their time, both spare and in school, to prac- ticing the original and creative dances which were in the pageant, Whither, O Youth? Many of these dances were born in the ingenious brain of both the teacher and the students, each being quite capable and adept at supply- ing the needed thought in its proper place. For the first four weeks of the semester, the girls are taught exercises which aid in building up the limbs of the body and which are indirectly responsible for the acquired grace. Then gradually they are taught the intricate steps used in Govotte, a French dance used in the pageant, and also the Virginia Reel. Other types of dancing are taught and practiced, namely: tap and acro- batic, but usually the barest fundamentals are taught in these as they do not display the poise, grace, and beauty witnessed in the esthetic ballet dances. Veils and flowing laces portray the beauty in the motions repre- senting fairies, winds, and elves. The girls in this class are more advanced than in the other classes under Miss Lomelino, as they are supposed to have had some instruction in dancing before enrolling, this requirement being necessary in order to get as much accomplished in the short time of one semester as possible. If the class were open to all girls, the work which is done would be cut almost in half; the first two terms requiring the instruction of the new- comers, which if they had had previous lessons could be dispensed with. Thus these girls are fairly advanced when signing up for the course, and unnecessary teaching is eliminated.

Registration. Spotless floors, repainted window casings, a registration line like the summer library fine, the longer it stands, the larger it gets. (That was merely an in- dulgence, it won ' t happen again!) SEPTEMBER 3. Miss Mansfield missing from executive ranks. Our loss, another ' s gain. Coach Roell- ig has roll-call of prospective football huskies. Nothing like starting early! Let loose at 11 :53. If this is school, not bad! 4. Crowds! Gobs of ' em! Instructors getting warmed up on the home work. Dismissed at exactly 3:10y 2 . If this is school, not so good! 5. A Test already. This world is too anxious for progress. The giver of the abhorred thing withheld! Headquarters order our respective nomina written on page 17 of texts. Why pick on 17? What ' s it done now? 6. A few late beginners still coming. Certainly hope we can tuck ' em in somewhere. There isn ' t a more beautiful phrase in the English language than Friday at 3:10 (which is now)! 9. The campaign is on ! Bulletin, not presiden- tial ! We ' re becoming discontented with our lot, which is a lot of homework (EX- CUSE!). 10. Blank and another Blank . 11. Senior Girls ' Council has first pow-pow. Hope the ladies will excuse our calling it by such an undignified name. Commercially enrolled girls are forming an organization.

In other words, a first Capitoline meeting. 13. Friday 13th! Need more be said? The jinx was sure on us. We said the Susquehanna River was in Virginia, flunked a couple of tests, and couldn ' t find C on the type- writer. Never liked that letter any too well anyhow. 14. Literary Clubs ' sign-up day. Now some people will be getting blue in the face hold- ing their breath waiting for a certain notice to come around. Found C today. Things are looking up ! 18. Book exchange still scouting for books. If there was such thing as a dollar tree we ' d have a season football ticket, but there isn ' t, so we haven ' t. 19. A history test, and on a hot afternoon — whew! Les Bas have initial meet. Wonder if they had ice cream for refreshments? Needed it, scorcher like today! 20. Quite different from Friday last. If pledge week wasn ' t hanging around we ' d be in- clined to think something had gone wrong with a few of our fellow students. 23. Looks like a coal strike on. Sort of a cold outlook! Brr! 23. Still a cold outlook, but for a different rea- son. We were reprimanded severely today in a certain class for not following instruc- tions. Oh, that typing! 25. Philo pledges spring into action, and plenty of it. (No, Abner, they don ' t work in the Cafeteria, even if they are wearing aprons!) 26. A twice-postponed Pep assembly event- ually materializes.

We sure agree with the fella who wrote Life Is a Song right now. 3. Vacation ' s all right — but the Cubs aren ' t!! Phooey on the Song Business! 4. Life is a dirge — except for one ray of light — SHS won their first football game with those tough East St. Louisers, but, woe, the Cubs lost theirs with those tough Detroiters. 7.

The Papa of our country born 204 years ago today — exactly! We cannot tell a lie, we wish it had come on Friday this year. Who knows what might not have been!?! 24. Whoopie, yippee, and zowie — and all the rest of the ee family. It was actually so warm today that ear-muffs were laid on the shelf. Oh, Sweet Spring! 25. Thunder Over Paradise, and that isn ' t meant to be funny. Yesterday was paradise and last night it did thunder, doggone it ! 26. Those Les Bas done it! Beat the Philo ' s at their own game! History in the making, and that closes the debating season. 27. Girls ' Council Leap Year Dance. Confetti, confetti, everywhere. Yes, we ' re quite safe in saying everywhere, we know — and so do the janitors! 28. Mrs. Olive Lindsay Wakefield, sister of Springfield ' s poet, Vachel Lindsay, ad- dressed a group of literary-minded students at the home of Miss Wilcox. Her resemb- lance to the poet was immediately noticed by all. MARCH 2. Well, March came in like a lamb, but grades tomorrow! (Gosh!) 3. Grades today! (Gosh a coupla times) Who, we ' d like to know, ever invented the type- writer anyway? 4. Grades yesterday (still gosh! !) The effects haven ' t worn off yet! 5. Philo ' s have that long-delayed candy sale, and were their wares good! If you ' d seen who we did buying a whole ten pennies ' worth, you ' d think it must have been extra- ordinary! The 1936 Capitoline Hundred Fitty-: Cast of Briar Rose 6. Ye Olde Staff cuts high jinx at Bergen Park, with a gala party, and was there fun ! ! ! Even Jean Beynon, now of Divernon, was there — we beat ' em, you know. Onward — to State? 8. The engagement of Miss Elinor Crook, S. H. S. Latin instructor, has just been an- nounced. For the lovely lady, we wish everything that ' s happy and good. 9. Yep, Spring ' s here. The mater scolded us good and proper for standing on one of her ole flower beds. Heck, how should we know? 10 We got Spring Fever — bad! 11. Mrs. Butler is just recovering from that nasty fall in which she hurt her ankle. Auntie didn ' t desert her post in the library, though, despite her injury. 12. Perhaps you saw it mentioned before that Spring was here, in all its glory. Being Leap Year, Old Man Winter took the oppor- tunity to cut in anyhow. Consequently, frost today! 13. The Ides of March. Friday the 13th, and what do ya know — the clocks go loco, chop- ping down minutes into half minutes! Yes, indeedy, — Time Marches On! 16. Capitoline Directory comes out in all its glory, and is it snitzy ? We rented that word special for this occasion from the Turner gal. 17. Shurre, and its a school full of Irishmen! Did ye ever see so many green ties and dresses? Honoring St. Patrick they were ! 18. Another choice bit of news concerning the forthcoming pageant. The part of our old friend Napoleon is to be taken by none other than the atom twister himself, Mr. Deffen- baugh. 19. Took a night off and Followed the Fleet. We just sorta let ourselves go and forgot there was sech a thing as typing. 20. Rain — ugh ! 23. Fire Drill, and a thunderstorm, but not to- gether. Thanks to old Odin with his thunder-bolts for postponing his gay party till the drill was over. 24. Why, why? shouted the French Revo- lutionists in Tale of Two Cities . Why, why? we beseech and add of our own ac- cord, doesn ' t something occur about these premises ? 25. Hoist Sails and heave ho my hearties! The Venture is embarking once again! Now we ' ll discover who are our Gertie Steins and Heaven help us when we do! 26. One of the few days we could have time out, but Johnny on the spot that ' s us in all kinds of weather. What the heck the weather has to do with this, we wouldn ' t know. What was really going to be said was — no educational opportunities today — yep you ' ve got it — no school — Teacher ' s Insti- tute. 30. The Seniors are suddenly realizing that time has been tramping along. They received slips today asking the exact way their names were wanted on diplomas — DIPLOMAS! Gosh! Looks like we ' re going to make it after all, Abner ! Vachel Lindsay Edition One Hundred Fifty-. Miss Van Deventer ' s Class Still Believes in Santa 31. Snow predicted for today. As yet it hasn ' t arrived (6:50 and one-half min.) Still plenty of time left. APRIL 1. April Fool! We ' re not going to write a thing today. Guess we can April Fool as well as the next one, and won ' t you be sur- prised when you don ' t find anything here. Heh! Heh! 2. Springfield was shocked and grieved today at the death of one of her leading citizens, Mr. Frank T. Vasey, Superintendent of City Schools. Mr. Vasey, by his splendid leadership and persuasive manner, did much to further education in this city. His death truly leaves a vacancy in the ranks of Springfield Educators. 3. Guess we do an awful lot of sqawking about the weather, but who wouldn ' t when ya gotta wear your galoshes to school — on the third of April! Sweet Spring. 6. Aw! 7. Heck! 8. How many get the point? In case you don ' t, the above still refers to the weather, and by the by you should have heard the skit, some of the bunch from 212 presented on the radio about Devil ' s Island, sound effects, screams and all. 9. Well the crepe hangers are predicting rain already for Easter. Have a shudder on us, ye folk with fine ra nment ! (No pun in- tended — yah !) 12. MM, we feel a verse comin ' on. Why shouldn ' t we, if the Senior Editor can. What this book needs is some real poetry. Behold— Ah, Easter time has come again With bunny eggs and everythin ' But alack, alas, we cannot sing ' Cause, yes, we have no Spring! 13. Sans Famille , in other words Without a Family . In still other words Nobody ' s Boy , a French movie showed in the audi- torium tonight. No, Abner, we can ' t exactly follow French. Now Latin — well — 14. Eureka, we have found it! to quote old Archimedes. A decent grade in typing. And now that ' s that. 15. Out at 2:30 today. Parent-Teachers have a real Parent-Teacher gathering. Dandy chance to see Mr. Deeds Goes to Town . More fun! 16. Scholarship Society Members learn that they are members. Special P. S. to Fourth Perioders In R. 212. Nothing like a nice ride ' round and ' round the Lake, on a lovely breezy day — eh, what? 17. No Bulletin, but a grand combined choir and orchestra concert makes up for the omission. Pretty swell program but we didn ' t hear Goody Goody . 20. Gosh it ' s hot! Some of the Mid-year grad- uates were back today for the Scholarship picture, and do they look lofty and sooooo intellectual! 21. Talk about pixilated — the whole Capitoline staff is the most perfectly pixilated bunch we ' ve seen since they was such a word. You see the deah, old thing goes to press tomor- row and we ' re just getting a good start on it! The 1936 Capitoline One Hundred Fifty-eight 22. The first assembly since — since — well since ages and ages. This one even had an ama- teur programeeee in it. 23. ' Course we really shouldn ' t tell this, but Governor Meyer and Ruthie Brauer are sorta that way ' bout each other. Yep — no kiddin ' . Oh, so you noticed it too, uh? 24. Bulletin packed full o ' Pageant this time. Which reminds us it won ' t be long now till the Pageant happens. 25. Why couldn ' t those old fogies who made the calendar have left out Monday? We have a good choice of adjectives doncha think? Neither does Miss Graham. 29. Saaay — just happened to think (all right, no bright remarks) whatever happened to the constitution our honorable predecessors concocted last year? 30. Speaking of that ways . Ye olde Editor has himself a new one. You ' re not foolin ' anybody Giddy. 14 MAY 1. May comes in on tripping toes. The last time we tripped, nearly brought down the house, but not in the usual way. 2. Wal good. Tomorrow ' s Saturday. 4. Someday we ' re going to ask Mr. Simpson if he ' s a Cub fan or otherwise. Course a His- tory teacher really shouldn ' t take sides, but if he ' s for the Cubs, well, that ' s sorta differ- ent. Get the point? 5. Happy Birthday — (bet you wish you knew whose it ' twas. No it ' tisn ' t ours; we don ' t have such things any more). 6. Suffering Seraphims, everybody ' s so busy that when you speak to ' em they practically squelch ya with a look of horror at your actually daring to disturb ' em by speaking. Whotta life! 7. A week from today — Whither O Youth? Gosh, we can ' t wait to see some of those fellows. 8. Oh, for a dip in the Lake. Nearest to it we could come was a double dip soda. 11. Sinking. 12. Rapidly sinking lower. 13. Sunk. Revived by the pageant. You know those two-bit adjectives don ' t you? Colossal, stu- pendous, etc. Well they sure fit this, don ' t they? 15. The time has come, the Walrus said , only we ' re sayin it in this case and the time is Baccalaureate, Sunday. 18. Did you have any morsel of literary fancy published in The Venture? I suppose that would be telling! Of all the modest people. 19. Come to think it over, sorta hate to leave old S. H. S. Guess we ' re just plain teched . One moment we hurl imprecations at it and the next we sob in our soup, cause we ' re leaving — Wal-nuts ! 20. Personally we think that was a dandy pun and if you don ' t like it, you can just not read it. Anyway who ' s writing this? 21. Mmmmmmm (7 ' m ' s) The Prom! Warn ' t it just too too divine? Why write more? We danced too much, or somethin — why else should the tootsies hurt? 22. The Assembly of Recognization. (might as well leave something to this school hence the coinage of a word.) Sorta solemn oc- casion wasn ' t it? Night. Now we know how they keeps those caps on! Whew! 25. And so it ends. Another school year, another Calendar. Been mighty nice knowin you folks. Good Luck. And always remember Life is a Song to those who can reach the high notes and that takes practice! Bye, Bye!
