X D Ill ATIO .WE of the Capitoline Staff of 1940, having witnessed and been a part of the March of Time, dedicate our diary of events to the future of high school youth, upon Whose shoulders will soon be thrust the task of adapting their generation to the troubled conditions of the World. Thus our diary, based on Time, Written in the present about the past, and dedi- cated to the future, portrays youth in the stage of learning and enjoying, before they undertake the road before them.

DAVIS Principal l-leading the administration of a large high school, With all its details and phases, was Mr. Davis' job, and he completed his third year in this capacity with efficiency and skill. Students, faculty, building employees, all came under his influence at one time or another, and all better appreciated the plan behind the opera- tion of our high school, because of these contacts. This year an important change was made in combining Central and Senior high schools in the newer building. Because of this fact, and the re- vision of the day into six periods, many new problems arose. That these problems were solved satisfactorily is attested by the fact that from the open- ing day of school a smooth Working schedule was put into operation. Separate study centers for boys and girls, introduced this year, operated with greater efficiency under teachers experienced in student guidance. Another innovation of the administration was a guarterly magazine which provided parents with information about the school system, its activities, and its policies. Students and faculty profited by a variety of excellent assem- blies, consisting of both school and outside talent. Mr. Davis was not sat- isfied with good enough, but insisted that every one contribute his best to improve the standards of the school. Nineteen Efficient Administrators Mr. Vtfentz, Miss Bundy, Mr. Hendricks Three people that help very much to preserve efficiency and order in Springfield High School are Mr. Roy W'entz, Miss Dorothy Bundy, and Mr. Floyd Hendricks. Mr. Wen'tz, Whose official title is dean of boys, confers with all classes hfrom the none-to-sure freshman to the senior-and aids them in main- taining an ideal school program. ln addition, he teaches a mathematics class and is adviser of the Student Boys' Council. Miss Bundy, the dean of girls, is another contributor to a smooth-run- ning aolministration. She teaches an English class, arranges student pro- grams, and serves as adviser of the Student Girls' Council. Mr. Hendricks maintains the bal- ance of order, in his capacity as as- sistant principal. He manages very capably the task of disciplining a stu- dent body, usually an arduous and unpleasant job.

This year the department added new features to the valued heritage as well as markedly increasing the available books and reference aids. Bookcases have been added in many of the rooms, and there are libraries in every English classroom as well as individual reference books. Facilities for radio and victrola connections make possible the use of these regu- larly. The department now possesses over two hundred victrola records and slides.

This helps him to determine the general nature of his interests, abil- ities, and aptitudes to the extent that he may be able to make a more intel- ligent choice of a vocation. lf the student develops an interest and gives evidence of ability in any one of the fields of Work in the depart- ment, he may to some extent special- ize in that subject and acquire a worthwhile special training. Many former Springfield l-ligh School grad- uates now in profitable vocations re- ceived the foundation for the Work in the high school shop, because of the stimulation received in the pursuit of shop Work hobbies.

CARL LUNDGREN CLARENCE Music INSTRUMENTAL Music The music department of Spring- field l-ligh School consists of three main divisions-instrumental mu- sic, choral music, and theoretical music. The instrumental branch is represented by two organizations, the orchestra, Whose renditions of classical and lighter selections un- der the baton of Mr. Sauer were always admirable, and the band, who played martial music and pop- ular melodies under Mr. Patrick. SAUER G. W. PATRICK The caniata at Christmas ROGER I- A ELIZ B BENEDICT A ETHRULE VOCAL MUSIC The choral division is headed by the A Cappella Choir, under Mr. Lundgren, whose beautiful songs were fully appreciated. The chorus classes give students a general mu- sic education, and build up for en- trance into other organizations. Theoretical music Charmony and music historyl introduces students to the fundamentals of Writing mu- sic or studying great music already Written.

High school meant pleasant associa- tions, social activities, and athletic cooperation, as well as the hard Work which they put forth. Four years oi that which waits for no man-Time-passed by in their stead. At tirst it seemed to creep slowly, but the pace became taster as their senior year drew to a close. The lanuary seniors acknowledged their advanced classifi- cation by supporting fully the ideals and activities of Springfield High School. X ,J f ly 'Q x s ggi! Q ,si t v A M Q if ' - 'fb iw I B : Thirtyes e EARL BAILS Earl's work in the Y. M. C. A. kept him too busy for many other activities. Like most of us, he wants a job after grad- uation, but unlike most of us, he has his prospective employ- er all picked. FRANCES LOU BENSCH We hate to learn that Fran- ces is going to give up danc- ing, but since she intends to do secretarial work, in no time at all she'll probably be just as efficient on a typewriter as she was on her toes. ALICE BOHLMEYER 4 Alice's future v o c a t i o n sounds like an interesting one. She hopes to be a dietician and we're sure she'd be CL'Suc- cess in this field. Outside of school the Voguette Club re- ceived most of her attention. BOB CHAPMAN i, Among his other accomplish- ments, Bob has the distinction of wearing tails with enviable finesse. You'll have to guess whom he admires most be- cause he wouidn't tell. He plans to attend medical school after graduation. Wranglers, Pres. and Treas.: Pill Rollers: Student Council. MARIETTE LEE DE PEW Mariette is perfectly honest. She admits that her biggest ambition is not to be an old maid. Her plans also include college, business school and a job before she settles down to home-making. Cafeteria Council: Philos: Jr. Bulletin: Quill and Scroll. ROSE ENDERS This coy little lady asks you to guess who is receiving all her admiration. She de- serves guite a little herself for her splendid ambition to be a nurse. DONELDA I-'INES Donelda was quiet and shy, but she could always be count- ed on to get things done. That probably accounts for her popularity in Philos and the Voguette club. Business col- lege is her next destination. Philo. Class of January, 1940 RUTH MARY BAKER Pete is famous for an envi- able collection of Indian brace- lets, loads of poise, and a tal- ent for wearing clothes with an air . VIRGINIA LEE BEST Can you imagine anything staid about the vamp of Grow- ing Pains and our popularity c o n t e s t winner? However, under her frivolous exterior, Virginia harbors a very seri- ous intent. She hopes to be- come a nurse. Bulletin Stott: Growing Pains: Philos: Senior Girls' Council: Rain- bow Girls. LEOTA BREWER Pep and personality distin- guished everything that Leota attempted in school and out- side. She was an active mem- ber of Rainbow Girls. We hope her pep carries over into her future job. VIRoinbow Girls: Cafeteria Coun- ci . JIM COX Everybody is familiar with lim's guitar playing in lohnny Mahoney's Band and his ren- dition of Rag Time Cowboy foe is really somethinf Football 2, 3, 4: Spanish Club, IEANE DOUGLAS We could never tell whether we were talking to leane or to her sister for these twins looked so much alike that we could almost believe we were seeing double . Business col- lege will claim her after grad- uation. EULA FAWCETT Eula spent her time here preparing herself for a career as a stenographer. Her many friends tell us she is compe- tent and efficient so we know she'll succeed. ALMA ELIZABETH FISCHER lust by gazing at Alma's delicate features you'd never believe that she's a whiz at playing basketball! A f t e r graduation she intends to be- come an Al secretary. G. A. A. l, 2, 3: Thalions: Tran- script Club. MIRIAM BARKER Pert and peppy, Miriam has ideas of her own on most every subject. Music and dancing take up a lot of her time and incidentally, she does right well at both. Philos. HERMAN BILYEU Herman has chosen a field with plenty of room for talent and energy. He hopes to be an engineer. NORBERT BRUNNER Norbert's interest in the Fu- ture Farmers and Lincoln 4-H club, plus his admiration of Henry Wallace, all point'to success in his chosen voca- tion-farming. Football l: F. F. A. CLYDE CUSHMAN Drum major Clyde could al- ways be seen out in front of the band with his flashy dis- play of baton twirling. After high school he'd like to carry on with his own dance band. Adv. Band I, 2, 3, 4: Drum Ma- ior: Solo Club: Delvlolcy. IUNE DOUGLAS iune is the other half of the Douglas' sister actf-? Like leane she had to spend a great deal of time explaining that she was herself and not her sister. MARY ELIZABETH FERREIRA S. H. S. seems to be turning out more than its share of nurses. After two years in Merryville College, Mary Eliz- abeth intends to enter Barnes Hospital. By the way, did you know that she is one of our most proficient horsewomen? Tha l ia ns. JIM FITZGERALD Suave, l. M.'s quiet drawl and subtle humor made him an idol of the fun loving. His art work is also something to admire. Thirty-eight HUGH BEECHLEY All the boys knew Hugh as assistant to Mr. Petefish. Help- ing in the study halls and on the playing field as he did, he will be missed a great deal. IOE BILYEU ls there anyone who hasn't known thwarted desperation when the motion p i c t u r e screen goes suddenly blank in the midst of an exciting movie? When loe achieves his ambi- tion to be a motion picture op- erator, we hope this never happens while he's on the job. ROGER BULLARD Roger earned the name of Stoic because of his cool com- posure on test days when everyone else was flustered. This isn't altogether correct for underneath his calm assur- ance lurks a surprising sense of humor. Football l: Wranglers: Inter- SSTCIGIY Debate: Senior Boys' Coun- Cl . WAYNE DAVENPORT We needn't say anything about 'Wayne's popularity, for the seniors liked him well enough to make him class president and that's proof enough. W'e attribute this to respect for his courtesy and admiration for his athletic abil- it . Slgootball l, 3, 4: Baseball: Soft- ball: Wrestling: Boxing: Future Farmers of America. ANITA DUNAS Anyone who has ever viewed a sample of Anita's talent needn't be told that art is her ambition as well as her favorite pastime. We hope she continues her work in college. ANNETTE FEUER As her activities show, An- nette's tastes inclined to writ- ing and she's very successful at it, too. She plans to be a stenographer but we wouidn't be surprised if she turned out a national best seller . Bulletin, l-lurnor and Feature Ed- itor: Quill and Scroll. DOROTHY FRIEDMAN You wouidn't have a chance in an argument with Dorothy. After her success in debate, she's able to convince you on any subject. When debate or music weren't taking her time, she was active in the Rainbow Girls. Advanced Orchestra: Theater Orchestra: Philos: Inter-Society De- bate: Rainbow Girls. January Seniors Thirty-nine RICHARD BENNETT Richard is another of the strong, silent type who re- fuses to divulge any knowl- edge of his past, present, or future. But We'll wager that his plans include a certain little lady, to whom has been very faithful. Advanced Orchestra. THOMAS BOEHNER After brushing up on the classics at college Torn intends to return home and follow in his dad's footsteps, by work- ing in his meat market. FRANK CAMPBELL Many girls have been known to admire Frank be- cause he looked so cute in his usher's uniform. The boys must have liked him pretty well, too, for they elected him to the student council. Jr. Cholrg Football I, 2g Track 33 HI-Yg Student Council. IIMMIE DELONG limmie's success in the or- chestra leads us to believe that music is one of his principal interests. After graduation he'll join many S. H.

BILL DUNN ln spite of many more digni- fied achievements, Bil1's chief claim to farne will be rememf bered as his rendition of l Am Mama's Little Lamb while he was a Wrangler pledge.

CHARLOTTE FIEDLING Charlotte is an excellent sailor and has won her Senior Life Saving emblem. She's known for one of the school's sweetest personalities and for her staunch devotion to Rosie . Jr. Capttoline Staff: Philos. ANN GALBREATH Ann was one of the schools rnost likeable persons. Mod- esty was a distinguishing characteristic. Her future plans aren't disclosed yet, but they're pretty sure to work out suc- cessfully.

Her future is a secret as yet. ilk BILL HUTTON Bill spent most of his time in school boosting our Band, and he did right well, too. He plans to attend college after graduation. HASKELL KELLNER Hack hopes to go to Harvard after leaving S. H. S., and we've no doubt that he'll go places. We won't mind if he broadens his A's and becomes a genius, but if he ever gives up chewing gum, we'll never forgive him.

Class of January, 1940 EDITH GORDON Edith hopes to take a course in music education and teach music in the public schools. When she achieves her ambi- tion, she'll probably find that the experience gained bv as- sisting Miss Rule will be a great help to her. BILL GULLETT Bill's success as leader of the lr. Bulletin and his con- vincing acting in Growing Pains might lead us to be- lieve that he has journalistic or dramatic aspirations. These appear to be just sidelines for he really intends to devote his life to chemistry. Jr, Bulletin, Pres.: Delphics. MARY HEALY Mary was kept pretty busy outside of school with her ac- tivities in Alpha Omega, but she found time to take an inte:- est in dramatics. CAL HUGY Calvin has a flair for dra- matics, as all who witnessed his agonies in Growing Pains or his flourishes in The Affected Young Ladies will admit. His band record shows that he's also musical and We've heard him des- cribed. as a man-about-town. i.With such a combination he should face the world without a worry. Delviolayg What a Life. HENRY INGRAHAM His quiet friendliness made Henry well liked by those who knew him. After school hours he was an invaluable aid to a local drug store. Detvtolay. DORIS KEYES Under a very quiet exterior, Doris had a delightful sense of humor. Her future plans in: clude business college and col- lege later. G. A. A.: Tholiansj Freshman Girls' Glee Club. IOHN KRUGH Iohn found plenty to keep him busy in the band and in his school clubs but that didn't prevent his being active in the Y. M. C. A. and DeMolays. If his after-school plans work out successfully the Federal Civil Service will have S. H. S. to thank for one of its most com- petent members. ALFRED GREENING Tut was nice to all the girls but he really prefers blondes. Look him up in the future if you ever need a good lawyer. Wranglers. ROBERT HANSON Practical Robert has a well- paying vocation all picked and waiting for him. He plans to enter the wholesale oil busi- IIGSS.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY When one becomes a member ol the National Honor Society, he has obtained the highest scholastic ac- colade given by Springfield High School to its students. The Springfield chapter received its charter in l934 with forty-two members. This year the number is sixty-seven. The committee in charge of the Springfield chapter is headed by Miss Sadie Clapper. The requirements demanded by this society are high 5 and the number must not be more than the highest l579 oi the graduating class. A gen- Eid eral average oi at least B must be maintained tor the lull tour years. An average oi at least 4.67 must be achieved in any major subject. A student may get on the roll oi the National l-lonor Society in more than one subject, so long as it is a major, or three-year course. May We congratulate those who joined the ranks ot the elite in schol- arship, and extend our heart-felt hope that many oi them will some day add a key to their scholarship ring on which now shines a torch.

WENTZ The Student Boys' Council, com- posed of twenty-four boys in junior and senior years, continued as one of the student governing bodies of Springfield High School. Their black shirts signified a link between students and administra- tion. Their aim was to give the stu- dents a voice in the government of the school, one very worthy of a dem- ocratic institution in a democratic country. This year a noticeable change was instituted. Twelve of the boys were elected by the faculty for scholastic ability and leadership, while twelve were chosen by the students for their general popularity. The council sponsored various worthy plans during the year. They furnished aid to several less fortunate boys in order that they could con- tinue school. They put on a Profes- sor Ouiz assembly for the enjoyment of the student body. They also spon- sored a weekly student opinion poll. Their dance held at the armory with Red lVlaxfield's music, was one of the most successful of the year, both financially and from an entertain- ment standpoint. Altogether the council put in a busy year. They contributed definitely to the happy realization of a better Springfield l-ligh School.

Those red blouses are the badges of the Student Girls' Council. Twelve of these girls were chosen by the faculty members for their lead- ership, scholarship, and ability. The other twelve were elected by the girls of the school in their study cen- ters. Their aim is a lofty one. They want to render constructive services to the school and to promote interest in school activities. However, they didn't confine their good deeds to the school, but extend- ................ELSlE IANE STALEY LOKEN BUNDY ed them rather far afield. They gave a Valentines Day party for the Day Nursery. At Christmas they gave a basket to a needy family. At school they have sponsored candy apple sales, taken a poll of opinion on current events and domes- tic problems, conducted a survey of all girl graduates of the year l939, and instigated a city-wide dance. They also, with the cooperation of the Student Boys' Council, sponsored a matinee dance. The proceeds were split between the two clubs. At the end of the year, the Council presented a scholarship award to the freshman girl with the highest mark.

This year the Les Bas had two gen- eral objectives: better and more interesting meetings and improve- ments in the club. Viewing the list of things that they accomplished, We may say, with reasonable grounds, that they gained their goal very Well. Some of their outstanding meet- ings for this season included Petti- coat Lane, the Mothers' Tea at the Leland Hotel, and Miss Margaret Piourke's discussion of her studies under Max Reinhardt. During the Christmas holidays the annual Alumnae dance was held, and was a great success. ln the ECKSTEIN ........ELSlE IANE STALEY ..

Also, they went to the Springfield Day Nursery and told stories to the children there. The Les Bas achieved another re- markable object this year. After much hard Work, they acquired a bulletin board in the front hall. A member of the club painted the name of the club in blue on the panel. The club also presented their young sister club, the lunior Les Bas, with a gavel.

Since they are only two years old, the iunior Les Bas haven't a long record oi which to boast. But their record, as it stands, is one to be proud oi. This year they contributed a sum to the Community Fund and gave a Christmas basket to a poor family. They also spent much time in attain- ing their literary and social objec- tives. in both they succeeded. They heard Mrs. Laura Hobie in a book re- view, Miss Marguerite ienkins on The Care oi Your Skin, and Miss Betty Barker on the fashions of the hour. Iunior Les Bas are not entirely sev- ered irom the mother-club, Les Bas Bleus, the two organizations giving their dances together. Both aiiairs this year were great successes. The connection was also illustrated by the party which was given for the Senior Les Bas. Another big party was given by the Iunior Les Bas ior their mothers. Thus they spent the year and at- tained their goal. Next year, those girls successful in selling tickets and in various other duties will become regular members oi the Senior Les Bas group.

Under Mr. Tomlin, the boys entered into many varied activities. Several members appeared on a radio broad- cast and before civic clubs, explain- ing the idea of their organization. Others competed in public speaking and judging contests with other llli- nois chapters. Each member attempted to work on some agricultural project at home in order to meet certain requirements Ninety-f FREEARK ........WALTER BOESDOERFER T. SAPP TOMLIN for a state farmer's degree. Several of the boys were awarded the degree last year. Socially, the Future Farmers were far from dead. They gave two dances and a Christmas party, as well as go- ing on a fishing trip. ln all of their activities, the club was aiming towards a definite and worth- while objective. That was to stimu- late interest in vocational agriculture and promote leadership in rural com- munities. ludging from the avid eag- erness with which the members took advantage of their opportunities to further this aim, we would say it has been accomplished. ive Study Language to Improve Pan-American Relations TOP ROW: Ralph Kilcendall, Bill Goss, Sidney Victor, Bob Bromschwig, Johnnie MacWlierterq Bill Dellert, .lim l-larrison, Evan Dierker Gene Cox, Kieth Sanders.

The Student Forum fills the above description admirably. lt extends membership to those history students who show ability and willingness to engage in discussions. The aim is to train potential leaders in clear think- ing and ability to get ideas across to others. One of the main activities of the Forum was the Lincoln Day assem- bly, sponsored by the Forum. Various notable speakers held the interest of the student body as they interpreted various phases of Lincoln's life. In mid-April, five of the members went to Iacksonyiile to the Interna- tional Relations Conference. There, they participated in discussions of politics and foreign news. Clifton Utley, famous commentator and au- thority on the world situation, im- pressed them with his speech. At each meeting the Student Forum debated on various questions.

The Tunior Etude, a member of the Federated Music Clubs of Illinois, bent their efforts toward raising the standards of music in Springfield l-ligh School, and promoting better feeling between its musical organiza- tions. Their one qualification for member- ship was that a person must have a decided interest in some field of mu- sic. Programs? They had many inter- esting ones from grand opera to mod- ern music. Bill Nelms gave a very interesting talk on swing , illustrat- ing at the piano. The club sent several representa- CARSON .........STELLA L. FERRETRA .............BETTY T. MOORE ............PEARL L.

Certainly a greater appreciation of music in all its phases was gained by members of the club by their actual participation in the programs. ln up- holding the traditions of high school youth and music, they have played a major part.

One Hundred Pour Vlembers With Fine Music of Many Types ADVANCED ORCHESTRA The Springfield l-ligh School ad- vanced orchestra completed another year of playing and enjoying fine music, under the direction of Mr. Clar- ence Sauer. They presented two programs in collaboration with the A Cappella Choir. ln these, the two organizations merged together in one selection! usually the final number. The orchestra played a variety of compositions from musical comedies such as Victor l-lerbert's Sweet- hearts and Homberg's Desert Song to symphonic works of Sibeli- us, Tschailcowslcy, and Borodin. Various members of the group par- ticipated in solo and group contests throughout the year. Several people were also sent to the all-state or- chestra at Champaign. For the second year, the orchestra gave a successful dance-the l-lit Parade Hop , patterned after the idea of the l-lit Parade on the radio. ln addition, the theatre orchestra, composed of members of the ad- vanced group, furnished music for many important occasions-the class play, graduation, assemblies, the Lincoln Day program, and others. The orchestra this year was an or- ganized body-that is, it elected its own officers, president, vice-presi- dent, secretary, treasurer, librarian, and stage managers, each to have a certain responsibility. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors all profited by their ac- quaintance with the music put in their hands, and the associations made during their stay in orchestra. Certainly Mr. Sauer, in presenting this musical opportunity to students, gained the admiration of the mem- bers of his group.

A CAPPELLA CHOIR The school year l939-40 may Well go down in the annals of music his- tory as one of the most important in the career of the Springfield l-ligh School A Cappella Choir. ' indeed, so many important events have been crowded into this year that it leaves us fairly breathless to think of them. First, the choir was enlarged to one hundred and thirty-three members. By the advent of freshmen especially picked in the grade schools it was made a permanent number. Then a double octet was sent to Champaign to sing in the Music Festival there. Next they acquired new platforms, so big that they are the only ones of their kind in the United States. They gave numerous outstanding concerts. And to top it all off, the choir was chosen to sing at the National Music Festival held here in Springfield. They were One Hundred Six Chosen to Sing at National Music Festival the only choir invited to give a per- tormance before this august body. Preceding this concert, they enter- tained several ot the visiting choirs with a dance on Friday night. The dance was sponsored and planned by the A Cappella. A committee ot eight, chosen by the dilterent sec- tions, one from each, designed the decorations and helped choose the orchestra. Then there was a general committee to see that all of the dec- orations were put up. The dance was to be dateless, since only choir mem- bers could come, and since the choir were to act as hosts and hostesses tor the evening. Even though the dance had to close shortly after ten o'clock, because the singers had to prepare for a hard day on Saturday, it was generally ac- claimed a huge success. The command performance on the next evening topped oft one ot the most successful seasons ever experi- enced by the A Cappella. They reached new heights this year, and added to their illustrious reputation. But last it is with deep regret that they leave this year behind. And to that best of all conductors, Teach , they extend their very best thanks tor a grand time. Practice made perfect One Hundred Seven Pride of S. H. S.

SANDERS Athletic Directors Capable Bill Roellig, head foot- ball mentor, coached his boys to another Big Twelve chompion- ship, his eighth victory in eleven years. Mr. Roellig trained Spring! field High's baseball nine this spring which was the first since l929. His success is attributed to his skill in gaining co-operation from the boys, and his insistence on true sportsmanship. It is the duty of the department head, competent Mark Peterman, to arrange team schedules and events. His skill in turning out winning basketball combinations is known in all corners of the state. Pete is also director of tennis activity. Mr. lesse Sanders, the un- heralded, unacclaimed business manager of the Springfield High School Athletic department, cap- ably continued in this capacity for his eleventh consecutive year. Mr. Sanders is in charge of the arrangements for all home games, as well as managing the finances of the department. MR ROYAL lohnny Teuscher's cindermen this year again walked away with the city crown and had many other outstanding victories. Versatile lohn is also in charge of Roellig's forward wall in the fall of the year. Tackling, block- ing, and charging are stressed for his linemen. Winning titles in freshmen foot- ball, basketball, and track has become a habit with Charles Pete- tish. Every year more and more of Mr. Petefish's youngsters, who have learned the basic funda- mentals while under his wing, are ably filling vacated varsity berths. Although the space for girls' sports was limited, Miss Kathryn Mather did wonders in creating interest in sports and good sports- manship. Working many hours to achieve her aims, satisfaction in the progress of the girls' play was her greatest reward. L its ,X it 352 if 1 MR. TEUSCHER ,st i fT . fiSz W ri xi tx. 45 ,Q r ,Q , . MR.

S. H. S. 19 - Cathedral 6 The Roellig crew got underway toward a successful season by vanquishing the ever- formidable Cyclone eleven. A murderous aerial attack led by Thrasher and brilliant open field running by halfback Dee Crabtree played havoc with Cathedral's hopes. Tordan does his duty. S. H. S. 6 - East St. Louis 6 Tn a continuous rainstorm the Solons bat- tled to an unending tie. Crabtree was the star of the fray, plunging across the goal from the four yard marker. East St. Louis came back in the third period to even up the score. S. H. S. 12 - Feitshans 0 Coach Roellig's boys took advantage of their opportunities to avenge the game of the year before. Crabtree, with great support from the team, crossed the goal line in the first few minutes of the game for the initial score. Patton accredited himself with the final tally of the game, crossing the goal line after several ground gains by Thrasher and Crab- tree. S. H. S. 14 - Lanphier 0 The Red and Black warriors regained the undisputed intra-city title by overpowering a speedy Lanphier outfit. The Thrasher to Crabtree passing combination, which netted both tallies, proved to be too much for the less able north-siders. S. H. S. 6 -- Peoria Central 0 Although a strong Central defense kept the heat of the battle in S. l-l. S. territory for fiftv- nine minutes, Captain Thrasher scored with thirty seconds to play when a Peoria sub fumbled and a Solon recovered the ball. One Hundred Eighteen S. H. S. 14 - Lincoln 0 Entering the game against a great Lincoln eleven who boasted seven victories in as many starts, the Springfield forward wall, led by lordan, Sarpolis, and O'Keefe, built an al- most invincible human wall. Best ground' gainer of the afternoon was Don Patton. S. H. S. 20 - Urbana 7 The hustling Senators added to their credit another victory by outclassing the Urbana Tigers. S. H. S.'s line was too much for their opponents. Thrasher, displaying his usual brilliance, accounted for thirteen points. A blocked punt was snatched by Sarpolis who nierely stepped across the goal-line for the third touchdown. S. H. S. 6 - Bloomington 0 A Bloomington fumble, recovered by Rich- ard Roberts, set up the only score of the after- noon. Vtfith Patton, McCarthy, and Thrasher taking smashes through the line, no one could stop them. Palash, Sarpolis, O'Keefe, and Gott were the standouts for the S. l'f. S. grid- men. Senators ambush opporrsiits S. H. S. 12 - Decatur O Springfield's Red and Black claimed the Big Twelve crown by downing Decatur with little difficulty. The first score was made early in the second quarter when Thrasher plunged over from the five yard stripe. Davenf port snagged a pass from Thrasher and scam! pered into the end zone for the final touchf down of the season. Captain Thrasher around right end. One Hundred Nineteen Owens-Senior Hallback Lewis-Iunior Tackle f..en's spectacular defensive work earned for him the Much will be expected from Co-Captain Dave next fall. coecaptainship of the l94U's team.

BIG TWELVE Gott-Senior Center lack was the spark-plug of the team. He had the ol' pepper which kept the team lively and full of spirit. His fine job as center earned much praise from the players as well as the student body. Kervln-Senior Halfback Dennis was a capable substitute that could be de- pended upon. His excellent blocking was a great sup- port to the team. Patton-Senior Halfback Don was one of Coach Roellig's fastest men carrying the pigskin. He was an important factor in winning many of our games, having several touchdowns to his credit. Peek-Senior End Bill was a defensive power. Whenever the team got in a tough spot, Bill was sent into relieve the pressure. Sarpolis-Senior Tackle Sarp held down his position without competition. Rarely substituted for, he proved a valuable player to Coach Roellig. Thrasher-Senior F ullback Bunny was captain of this year's team. His fine leadership and brilliant ability in running, passing, and tackling were some of the reasons for the team's success. Dick's position will be hard to fill next fall. TOP ROW: Owen, Lewis, Gott, Kervtn, Patton, Peek Sor polls. BOTTOM ROW: Thrasher, O'Keefe, L, Roberts R Roberts, Gasaway, Farris, Lamken. O'Keefe-Senior Tackle Ask any player who ever opposed Tony and they will tell you what a fine defensive as well as offensive player he was. Bob played three years and was certainly an asset to Coach Roellig. L. Roberts-Iunior Guard Injuries kept Louie out of action for a good part of the season but he finished the year alternating at different positions in the line. We'll be expecting plenty of action fiom him next fall. R. Roberts-Senior Guard Dick, being built low to the ground, was a hard boy to shove around. He had the ol' fight which is typical of a fine athlete. Gasaway-Senior Tackle Many a would-be touchdown play was stopped short by Earl's effective tackles behind the line of scrimmage. Farris-Senior End lf the other team wanted to make any gains around Superman they had a tough time doing it. George was a hefty lad and in spite of difficulties always came through for the team. Lamkin-Senior Halfback The bigger they come the harder they fall was Art's motto: small but mighty, he was a one man threat when carrying the pigskin or tackling. One Hundred Twenty TOP ROW: Leiniclce, Jordon, McLane, Hothorn, McCarthy, Davenport, Morgan. BOTTOM ROW: Cantrell, Crabtree, Whalen, Edwards, Pcnlosh, Dunn, Melvin. Leinike-Iunior Tackle Wayne displayed real football ability which promises to go far. We'll be expecting him to have a regular posi- tion on the team this coming season. Iordan-Senior Guard Big lo had one of the toughest jobs on the team, run- ning guard. His blocking, coupled with his ability to smash through the line, earned for him All-State honors. MCLANE-Senior Haliback Bill's fine running and pass snatching added many yards for the team. He well deserved his varsity letter. Hathorn-Senior Guard As hard a fighting a boy as any on the squad, Darrell proved to be a very capable reserve with the ol' spirit of the Red and Black warriors. McCarthy-Senior Quarterback As the blocking quarterback of the 1939 Big 12 champs, Eddie paved the way for many a touchdown. His superb defensive work was a great asset to the team. Davenport-Senior End Wayne's pass receiving and deiensive playing was not liked by opposing teams but we certainly approved of it. Here's another capable man giving up his berth at left end. ' I Morgan-Senior Center Because of an injured knee, Big Mort was out of the starting line-up, but was always ready for the call from Coach Hoellig to go into the thick of the fray and do his best for the team. CHAMPS Cantrall-Senior Tackle Holding a varsity berth for the first time, Loren proved to be a large obstacle for Solon opponents to keep out of action both offensively and defensively. Crabtree--Senior Haliback Due to a leg injury Fireball did not complete tho season as a player. Dee's skill in dodging tacklers and making touchdowns made his absence a loss to the team. Whalen-Senior Guard Bob was a dependable substitute. He played a bang-up game, offering stiff opposition to opposing teams and stiff competition against his teammates. Edwards-Senior End Hal's fine spirit and spunkiness earned for him the chance to show his ability in many a grid battle. Palash-Senior End If it hadn't been for Moose's superior punting the team would have had to work much harder to win. His unique way of stopping those plays around end gave valuable aid to his fellow gridmen. Dunn-Senior Guard Big Bill was the largest man on the squad. He gave everything he had in downing his opponent. For this fine participation, he earned his football letter. Melvin-Senior Center We all admire Bob's fighting heart and steady plug! ging for the team. Football claimed Bob for four years. His earnest efforts won for him a varsity letter.

The Springfield Senators seem to have had plenty ot good material for the l939-4U season, but lacked the scoring punch that is vital tor a Win- ning team. This season might be thought oi as a practice season.

He didn't let his short height hamper him but went through the season as a regular with a great many points to his credit. Louie showed himself to be a real threat to any hardwood opponent. MCCARTHY lf a Solon was seen dribbling straight for the basket and the ball swished through the hoop, 10 to l it would be Eddy. His heftyness was no disadvantage in getting around on the floor.

BROWN Lem took advantage of his height in many instances although he had the misfortune of playing the same position as Owen. Howards first year on the Varsity team showed great promise for the future. S.H.S. will have his services for another year. OWEN Lynn was an inspiration to every member of the squad as a result of his hard fighting and able playing ability. Due to this, he became the highest scorer of the season.

OTHER LETTER WINNERS The picture of the ten athletes above are those who completed the l94O season's games. However, these boys are not the only ones that played on the Red and Black team. Eight other players started the sea-- son, but dropped out soon aiter the season began. The reason for drop- ping out typities the Springfield High School spirit. These boys were all seniors and would not be back next year. ln order to give the sophomores and juniors a chance to gain experi- ence, they gave up their opportunities to play basketball, The seniors were Bob Palash, Dick Thrasher, Bill Mc- Lane, Ray DuHamel, Bob O'Keete, Don Patton, lack Sarpolis, and Fran- cis Smith. These fellows were given their let- ter S , not only tor their sportsman- like conduct, but for the games that they participated in before withdraw- ing irom basketball.

A dviser One Hundred Thirty-tive The Capitoline Staff--and Its Assistants CAPITOLINE STAFF Editing the school yearbook, with all its various duties, phases, and de- tails, fell to the lot of fifteen seniors- the Capitoline Staff. Theirs was to do or die as the poem states. About Ianuary, when pictures were not completed, Writeups strag- gling in, and subscriptions at an un- steady figure, prospects did not look so good. But after the book came to the students fresh from the printing press, with all the time and thought put into it, those fifteen people felt very proud of their achievement. This was always the way with every staff, and probably always will be. In addition to the big job of putting out the yearbook, the staff edited a directory, giving the names, ad- dresses and phone numbers of the entire student body. Iunior Staff trains for l94I I UN IOR CAPITOLIN E Although the Iunior Capitoline Staff has always been considered a group of helpers for the Senior staff, we have it confidentially that this year they enjoyed a busy time as a separate organization. Under Pro- gram Chairman Virginia I-lyler, these juniors, interested in the editing of the year book, held meetings every other Monday. During this year, they have been listening and watching and absorb- ing all of the things which help to make a good yearbook. One experi- ence particularly worth remember- ing is the trip which a selected dele- gation made to Champaign in March to attend the Illinois High School Press Conference. It is on the shoulders of these able members of the Iunior Capitoline that the responsibilities of next year's an- nual will fall. They are certainly well eguipped to take the jobs which pre- sent themselves. Officers First Semester IEAN NIELSON President FRANCIS BORN Vice President JEAN CASVVELI.

HIGH SCHOOL BULLETIN Working early and late, the Bulle- tin statt ot i939-l94O under its adviser, Miss Adelia C. Metzger, and its ed- itors, attempted to give its readers ot S. H. S. an accurate and interesting description ot school lite and events in the iorm of the High School Bulle- tin. Highlighting the weekly publica- tion was the Christmas issue printed in green ink, the April l:'ool's Day edi- tion, the two graduation issues and tour six page editions including a pic- ture page ot student activity. Dreary Friday afternoons were en- joyably brightened for subscribers by appearance ot the Bulletin, with its news, its editorials, its humor, its tea- tures, its personals, and its sports. Those ot the journalism and editing classes of both first and second semester were entertained by the lunior Bulletin members at a banquet in the high school cafeteria on April 28. The members ot the statt could ieel highly repaid for their time and ettort in the tact that their production was given excellent rating by the lllinois High School News Association. One Hundred Thirty-seven What A Life - School Laugh Fest Upper Left: Upper Right: Sidney Victor Beuy Reid Bob French Calvin Hugy L wer ell: Lower Right: Lee I Campbell Richard Roberts Shirley Nicholas Jack Good Kemiy Bob French Farris SENIOR CLASS PLAY What A Life, by Clifford Goldsmith, is one of the most popular plays of recent years. ft concerns the antics and predicaments of one Henry Ald- rich, who has a talent for drawing and trouble. The scene is laid in Central High School in the Principals office, for all three acts. Through this room pass the very human and like- able characters who make Gold- smith's play live. With such a central character as Henry, it was easy to see the possi- bilities of What A Lite. For three acts its living characters and situations and its clever dialogue keep the aud- ience highly entertained. The play was presented with the same high standard of quality always achieved by Miss Margaret Rourke in her work. There were two full casts, with the exception of two char- acters. Both the matinee and evening performances were well executed. The scenery, make-up, and direction were excellent and could be appreci- ated only by seeing them in their completed form. One Hundred Thirty-eight Champions of Oratory INTER-SOCIETY DEBATE This year the Philos again were victorious in the lnter-Society Debate. Because they had Won the trophy for many years, and lost it last year to the Les Bas, they went out this year with renewed vigor to bring it back. The question debated upon this season Was: Resolved: That the gov- ernment should own and control the railroads. All of the clubs put good teams into the field. Each team Worked hard preparing themselves for the day when they would have to face an- other club and lose, or go on to a higher bracket. The preparations were long, and oftentimes dull and wearisome. But the Philo team, com- posed of Stella Louise Ferreira, Doro- thy Friedman, and Dorothy Sneed valiantly defeated all of their op- ponents to win the cup. They were ably coached by Miss Vivian Nuess, co-adviser of the Philomachians. TOP ROW: Bill G ll tt Sd cy A. Goldman, Bob S hl THIRD ROW: Doro St lla Louise Ferreira, oro y F d am.

This l94O edition was published under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Graham, who supervised the first Venture and six ot the other ten is- sues. Such illustrious graduates as Kath- ryn Lewis, Hugh Graham, Freeman Butts, Hiram Sherman, and Bobert Fitzgerald first broke into print in the ln this S. H. S. publication, Scrib- blers and Writers from other English classes have an outlet as the maga- zine prints one hundred pages ot es- says, poems, stories, dramas, and illustrations. Gifted art students en- liven the pages of the book with their contributions. All in all the editors strive to make each edition ot the Venture a treasure chest ot literary Venture.
