What the Herald Means to Us THE High School Herald is oIIe of the most important student activities of the school. lt is a paper published not for those outside the school, but for you of the school, and by you it Sllall be praised, appreciated or censured. lt is a thing which can be made successful only by the hearty co-operation and support of the student body. Of what benefit is this periodical to the school? First. it keeps up a lively inter- est in school affairs. lt creates school spirit. a dynamic force embodying that which tends toward the high ideals nec- essary to the advancement of the school along its social and recreational as well as its educational lines. lt inspires and de- velops individual effort in literary attain- ment and preserves a historical record of all important features connected with the activities of the school. How delightful it will be in future days to read our old lfligh School Heralds Zlllfl thus to recall to memory the happy days spent at Springfield lligh! Recollec- tions of profitable meetings of the Star and Crescent, of interesting debates en- joyed in the Forum meetings, or of much- appreciated auditorium exercises will thus be brought to us. In what better way could the students express freely their opinions of school af- fairs than to publish them in the Her- aldu? lf a thing which happened in school deserves credit, let it he published. lf a student does not like some feature of the school curriculum, why not mention it in the l'lerald ? lf it is anything worthy of tlIe consideration of the faculty of the school, they would surely give some atten- tion to adjusting the matter in such a Way as to make the feature more acceptable. The cartoons and other art Work for tlIe 'lHerald present opportunities for in- dividual development along artistic lines. Glue who is talented as an artist is in- spired by the thought of having his cut accepted. to do the best work possible. The High School art work has been on the whole much better than some of that which appears in college annuals. XVith this issue of the Herald another interesting season comes to a close-the twelfth year in the history of the school paper. VX'e wish the Herald success during the coming year and hope that it may be greater and better than it has ever been before. HJ 40 Q! QQJQQJHJ SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD L!! H! !,fJE,f,!.! Maria Muses on Music Genevieve Morrison, '20 WAS sitting quietly at home, the other afternoon, rereading Scottish Chiefs. Let me explain right here that I have confined myself, as it were, to my own society, more or less, since my painful experience with the carbuncle. I have not even been over to see jack and Lucy, my newly married niece and her husband, since the afternoon they induced me to drink that horrid wine. In fact, I do not intend to go to see them until they come to me and make amends for forcing me, their maiden aunt, to drink intoxi- cants. Well, as I was saying, I was- sitting quietly reading Scottish Chiefs, when the telephone suddenly rang. I answered it and heard the voice of my old school chum, Mary Farnsworth. I was delighted to talk to her, for I have not seen Mary often since her children are grown up and home from school. She is very busy entertaining for them and preparing for social functions. Mary told me that the girls were plan- ning to have a few young folks in the fol- lowing evening and that as there was to be music and singing, which she knew I would enjoy immensely, she wanted me to come over. ' I gladly accepted. For I admit that I do enjoy well-chosen music. Then I thanked Mary and asked about the wel- fare of her family. Now I have always had what might be termed a good voice. VVhen only a girl I was the best soprano in our church choir. But do not think I am vain or boasting when I say this. For the Brad- fords have always been talented vocalists, and I, Maria, the last of the line, am no exception. I thought, since this affair was to be of a musical nature, that I might be called upon to sing a few beautiful airs, so -I spent the rest of the afternoon practising the lovely old songs which we sang in my youth. I did very well on Annie Laurie. VVe had a Scotch maid at home when I was a girl, and I am able to imitate pre- cisely the dialect of the Scots. After I had spent some little time upon that sweet old song, I tried In the Gloamingf' This piece has always been one of my favorites and I brought out its best notes very effectively. Mary had said during our conversation that there would be some soldiers in the assembly the next night, so during my pratice I reviewed a war song which I think is very touching. I know every one has heard Break the News to Mother. Then, since I thought the young people would naturally have some sentiment, I touchingly practised The Dying Girl's Message. It was a strenuous afternoon and I retired early that evening to rest up for the next night and refresh myself after the labors of the afternoon. The next evening I went over to IXIary's early. Her three daughters and her only son, Tom, were there. Tom looked very well in khaki and he told me of his ex- periences in the near-by cantonment. The time passed quickly, and before I knew it about fourteen young men and women had arrived. I settled myself inconspic- uously in a corner to listen to the music and be prepared when called upon to ren- der a few numbers. A young lady sat down at the piano and began to play. The result was like no music I had ever heard. It seemed to be a clashing of sounds so unharmonious that I could scarcely listen. Some one near me said something about Graveyard Blues, and I gathered that the young lady had visited a cemetery that afternoon and had what the young people called the blues so badly that it affected her play- mg. Then a young woman stood up and with many contortions of face sang Can You Tame VVild VV0l'llCI1?n I could not see, for the life of me. why she persisted in singing such an idiotic thing. She re- ceived much applause, though, and after much coaxing by the crowd, sang an In- dian piece, entitled Indianola. I had never heard one of this type before. It is QEQQQQ SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Q Q 41 Q rue that we sang Red Wing, a very Jretty Indian love song, several years Jack. Then the attention of all was fastened ipon a young man in uniform, who, after meing continuously coaxed, bashfully rose o his feet to sing. The young lady at the miano struck a chord, and, with what :eemed an effort, the poor soldier, with nuch stammering, sang a song about a girl named Kate It was a very un- 'omantic thing, as it even referred to a :ow shed. Ilut that poor boy! To think hat any one as heartless as those girls md boys would coax a young man with 'uch an aftiiction of speech, to sing. Dur- ng his song I sympathetically listened. ny face impassive. Ilut not so the rest of he crowd. They were simply convulsed ,vith laughter. Nrrw' will I be able to mderstand the heartlessness of Youth! There was quite a program of singing, nterspersed with periods of dancing. As ar as I could make out the method of lancing, the principals seemed to become lisjointed, held their partners in as awk- vard a position as possible, and then lragged each other back and forth across he Hoor. In fact, it was quite far re- noved from the sublime smoothness of our waltzes and the gentle roll of our two- steps. Meantime, there was talk. just the in- cessant chatter of young people. I could not follow exactly the conversation, but a few words such as h'jazz and pep made an impression on me. I have looked in all the unabridged dictionaries in the library and have not yet found the mean- ing of these expressions. The company dispersed at a late hour and the participants sang the only sen- sible song of the evening, It was entitled Till VVe Meet Again. And, I will ad- mit, it was more sentimental than our Good Night, Ladies. But, ever since my evening at Mary's, I have wondered about the choice of young people concerning music, All even- ing I sat in the corner and waited to be asked to sing my simple, old, sweet songs and I did not receive the invitation. The music was beyond me. I am beginning to wonder whether I have been right in censuring the popular music, So, now, as is my custom in giving every modern fashion a trial, I am practising faithfully every day a piece recommended by jack in his visit to me yesterday. It is called Little Eliza jane. Cherie Rachel Milligan, '21 Annie Lockett, '21 IS name was Cherie. Yes, it was a most ridiculous name for a dog, but it was the name bestowed upon him n his puppyhood-and it stuck. Then he had been king of the hearts of 'hildrenz now he was king of the hearts if soldiers, grim men of war. But Cherie lad always been a soldier. His duty was 'learly dehned: he had but to obey the 'ommand of his master. He had belonged to his master, Capi- aine Raoul I.ebaine, ever since he was a uuppy. Therefore, Raoul stood ever fore- nost in Cherie's heart. But now he was eparated from his master, because each vas doing his bit-Cherie as a Red Cross log searching for wounded, and Capitaine .ebaine serving in the trenches. One morning about four o'clock Cherie was awakened and the first-aid kit fast- ened on him. He knew well enough what he was to do-search for the wounded. and not be frightened by the guns, as he had been when he first went out. Now they did not frighten him: they only gave him a thrill of excitement. Picking l1is way through No lXIan's Land, he came upon a man calling loudly for water. The man, reviving at the sight of the dog, muttered a prayer of thanks as he unfastened the kit. And Cherie, like the intelligent dog he was, trotted back for a new kit. Again he was in No Man's Land, skirt- ing around shell holes and picking his way among dead men and a few wounded MJ 42 L!,!lL!.!J!!J!.!1 SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Q!!L!.!ll!!J!.!JL!!1!!1 who had already received succor. Stand- ing on the brink of a monstrous hole, he heard groans and then his name. He knew that voice and barked joyfully. But the Germans, who could not stand even the joy of a dog, sent a rain of bullets, one of which pierced the faithful dog's side. llis joyful bark turned to a shriek of pain, and in the darkness he fell into the shell hole. He felt his head taken into tender arms and looked up into the eyes of his master, Raoul. The two lives were fast fading away. Their last moments, however, were glad- ened by the comfort of each other's pres- ence. Thus died Capitaine Raoul Lebaine and his life companion, Cherie, the faith- ful. An Up-to-Date Young Man SOME OF HIS CHARACTERISTICS E DOES not pretend to be an old man in knowledge and experience. He saves a few things to be learned in the next forty years. He is not smart, liippant, nor self-asser- tive. He listens more than he talks and occasionally takes a little time to think. He does not confine his thought and in- terest to society, sport, or physical cul- ture. He sometimes notices the affairs of church and state, the interests of business and social betterment. He does not think it a sign of superior intelligence to blow in all his wages, nor old-fashioned to save a few dollars now and then: or if he does, he is willing to be a little old-fashioned. He does not buy dollar dinners on a lunch-counter salary-merely for the sake of tipping a Hunkey. The herring that pretends to be a whale deceives no one but himself, the other herrings all see through the sham and the whales are unconscious of his existence. He never parades any vices or pecadil- los, either real or imaginary, and even the toughs honor him for being a clean man. He does not neglect opportunities of culture merely because Lincoln and a few others succeeded without it. He doesn't want to be embarrassed in after years by the discovery that he is not a Lincoln. He does not limit his intellectual diet to the dailies, weeklies, and occasionalies. He sometimes mixes a few come-to-stays. He occasionally buys a book-not a mag- azine with a picture board cover, but a real book-and stays with it till he has mastered it. He omits most of the cur- rent slang for intellectual reasons and en- tirely avoids profanity and polished sug- gestiveness for moral reasons. He is strictly up to date and hence prac- tices the things that were always good and sensible, and leaves out the practices that were always bad, unprofitable, or silly. He does not use tobacco, but prefers to be a free man, and not a smokestack or a sewer-spout. He would rather be tied to an apron string than a tobacco string. He doesn't hastily reject the religion of his father, for he notices what it has done for them. He does not decide against the evidences of religion in profound ignor- ance of what those evidences are. He doesn't live a hand-to-mouth exis- tence, either physically or spiritually. He remembers that the hand may fail to reach the mouth, especially in the long after while. He is industrious because optimistic. The young man worth while looks out into the unknown years and says, with Browning's Parcelsus : I go to prove my soul, I see my way as birds their trackless way- I shall arrive! what time, what circuit first, l ask not: but unless God send his hail Or blinding fire-balls, sleet or stifling snow, ln some time-in His good time-I shall arrive, He guides me and the bird. In His good time. -Rev. Aaron S. XVatkins, LLD., in The Bayonet. K ff 4' Y .. f Inna, 1lV A fi g f . A ,A,. S5'foRGR . ,,,i , YA 5 S? E qv P swq , qv ' A! ig, RXU ' YJ ML N, .f .

HE silver lights of early dawn announce the coming day, While all about the silver clouds roll up and pave the wayg Aurora, with her milk-white steeds, drives close upon the night, And her approach dispells the gloom, transforming all to light: Her garments are of silver gauzes, those mists of early dawn, Entwined with rosy garlands still bright till day is gone. II. And thus we see, at break of day, our colors flung on high, Those emblems of ne'er-ending hope and strength to do or dieg Our band, tho' small, is valiant, our weapons still untried, Yet, anxious to begin the strife, we stand here side by side, Impatient for the call to arms, when each will take his part, Determined, at whatever cost, to win with all his heart. III. 'Tis thus we tread the path of life, our purpose ever clear, To use our talents for the best, no price we count too dear: Our colors, ever brought before us urge and spur us on, The blazing light of mid-day Finds us courageous as at dawn: So up ascending ever, life's zenith now attained, Devoted to the cause of right, we count the victory gained. IV. Then when Apollo sinks to rest and yields his throne to Mars, Diana ushers in the night and brings with her the stars: And as these gentle twilight shades the dying day enfold, Again the heavens bear our banner in hues of blue and gold- The blue for truth and steadfast purpose, the gold for work well done That time nor death can ever tarnish!

Raup, '19 l-lli records of the seismographs, or instruments that record earth- quakes, show that the earth experi- Iced a decided shock on a certain day in eptember, 1915. Authorities have inves- gated the matter, but they do not seem I have come to any definite conclusion Jncerning it. To those who know, how- rer, there can be only one cause for the isturbance. That was the day when the lass of 1919 first set foot on the espla- ade of the Springfield High School. There were other phenomena on that orning, too. This same esplanade femed fairly to sway back and forth nder our inexperienced and uncertain eps, and I have no doubt that there is lore than one member of this class who ould wager his last cent that he saw le metal meridian line move at least five agrees out of place. However, with all this mental excite- lent and brainstorm. we succeeded in rmly anchoring ourselves to a seat in a nom that we were told was the right one. ut whom could we believe. and how did e know that that was the right room? erhaps we would hardly be settled when e would be very impolitely informed lat that was Division H. G, and that our resence was wanted elsewhere immedi- zelv. Finally, after all the troubles that ever Ime to Freshmen had been experienced, 'e became settled in our proper places. We paid our twenty cents and obtained .Ir locker keys according to customg and, aving received all the necessary books, e were dismissed and told to return for asses on the following day. This following day was one of hardship id distress for all Freshies. XVe were iven a list of our various classrooms, id immediately started out in quest of 1 education. It was indeed quite a ughable sight, at least for an upper- assman, to behold some innocent Fresh- man, lost somewhere in the lower corri- Jr, confidently asking some one to direct im to Room 42. Then began the grind, the continual struggle with Algebra, Latin, etc. But there were some rare variations that light- ened the burden most gratifyingly. Many were the pranks we played. It was in this year that Mr. Taylor, our principal, established Senior Day. on which the Sen- iors displayed their colors. Whereiipon, one inspired Freshman decided that it was time to display his colors, also. So it was that the dome of our beautiful school shone forth in our hereditary class color, green. After a seemingly short vacation, we returned to school and again went through the regular formalities of getting our courses planned, paying our twenty cents, and getting started in general. It was this year that saw Mr. Tiffany or- dained as principal- Mr. Tiffany, the man-of-all-work. There is not much that we can say of this term. but that it was just a repetition of the regular yearly grind. In .Tune we settled up our fines and locker fees, and became juniors. Our Junior year was notable for a good many things. ln the first place, we began to actually blossom forth in athletics. Our class basket-ball team was undefeated, and we were well represented on the vari- ous school teams. An entirely new school regime was pursued that year. Our periods were shortened, and we were dismissed at one- thirty instead of three-fifteen. The School Board started a new grading system, with mid-term and mid-year examinations. Fortune smiled, however, and we really had only two of these exams, thanks to the kindly elements. We had wished many times for a vaca- tion in mid-winter, and in 1917 and 1918 we got all we wanted. School was dis- missed on the eleventh of December on account of the coal shortage. There fol- lowed six weeks of chilly vacation, after which, although we cannot say we did not enjoy it, we were glad to get back to school. Not many. speakers in our auditorium lf- 46 W E! Q5 SPRINGFLIQLD HIGH SQHOQL HERALD Q9 milky have been more freely applauded than was Mr. McCord when he announced that there would be no mid-year examinations. The thermometer showed a rise of five degrees when those words were spoken. Some bright Junior thought that the statues in the corridors needed nourish- ment. Thus we can account for the sand- wiches found upon their persons one morning. Such are the main points in our career as juniors. September, 1918, and we were Seniors. NVe were entered upon the final stretch of our course. Even though there has been more hard studying to do, we cannot deny that this has been the most enjoyable and the most profitable year we have experi- cnced. This last is the period of our High School life that will be remembered best. The infiuenza epidemic set us back a great deal in the early part of the year. Although we enjoyed the vacation, we were glad to be back to work and pushing ahead. This delay led to increased as- signments and more studying: but, in spite of all our troubles and grumblings, the work stands finished, and we are ready to graduate. The class was organized on December 20th. George Allen was elected president: Lena Eisnaugle, vice-president: Edwin Reddington. treasurer, and Miriam Titus, secretary. Various meetings have since been held to decide upon pins, announce- ments, pictures, colors, fiower, and class representatives. Old rose and silver gray are our class colors. The flower decided upon is the pink rose. The class poet is Frances Endley: the class prophet, Thel- ma Dunn Z the class testator, Esther Lan- nert, and the class historian, Hugh Raup. Owing to their high scholarships, Stanley Xanders, Pearl Athy and Scott Stack- house will represent the class at Coni- mencement. The Senior play was presented in the High School auditorium on May 23rd. Its title was The Man on the Box. Its suc- cess, and it was indeed wonderfully suc- cessful, is due, for the most part, to Miss Zimmerman, who coached it. The lead- ing parts were taken by Louis Allen and Lena Eisnaugle, who displayed fine talent. It is with the greatest regret that we leave old S. H. S. There are many things that we shall forget, but there are some that are indelibly impressed upon our minds. Although we have grumbled and complained, and laughed at Mr. Titi'any's urging us to work, yet we know that we must thank him for that very same thing. Nile shall never forget the sight, or, rather, the sound, of our beloved principal thun- dering about and stamping-his name to our grade cards. To Mr. Patterson we owe the thanks for an indestructible knowledge of all Latin syntax. We shall remember him as he goes swinging along through the halls-of time, and as he harks back to the great and all-wise Hark- ness. If Mr. VVeissbach,s threats should all have been carried out, we should un- doubtedly be lying dead on the ground under our study-room windows. No one knows what all happened in Mr. Eckert's classes while he slept. Is there any one of us who could not write a complete his- tory of France from.mental notes taken in Miss ZiITlI11CI'lll3.H,S classes? Perhaps there are some who even now are still feeling the sting of Miss Haeseler's sar- casm. And who could forget the Major's echoing commands? The future is open before us, and oppor- tunity is fairly pounding at our doors. Let us get into the spirit of our motto, Ever Ascendingfy and make our High School days count for something.

It is almost eleven o'clock, and I still have some cor- respondence to take care of tonight! ex- claimed Edith Garlough, with dismay. She advanced to the desk, where the night clerk, Albert Schaffhauser, was sitting, sound asleep. VVhen Edith asked, Do you keep stationery ? he, mindful of be- ing caught in the act, jumped up, and re- plied, No, not usually. You just caught me napping. On retiring for the night, Margaret Tif- fany reminded me that I had promised to explain my plan after dinner. I began, Well, first of all, do you re- member any of the Virgil we used to have back there in Room No. 27 with our friend 'Cummy'? They all pleaded Not guilty, so I pro- ceeded to jog up their memories a little. You certainly remember that Cumean Sibyl that in ages past Aeneas visited to find out the destiny of his race. I saw beams of intelligence, so I kept on, Well, don't you think it would be ever so much fun to fly over to Cumea to- morrow and find out what the other mem- bers of the Class of 1919 are now doing? Agreed That will be great, they all chorused. The following morning, instead of eat- ing at our hotel, we took a walk through town to the Chinese Restaurant A-La-De- Punk, conducted by Fred Brining. After being seated, we were annoyed by a bald- headed man, Robert Story, who was com- plaining to the waitress, Katherine Sin- gleton, because his cocoa was cold. She scornfully replied, I can't help that. If your head is cold, put your hat on. On the way back to the hotel, Edna Curtis turned around suddenly, and ex- claimed, Heavens on earth! Is it you P The two gentlemen in question, John Rannells and Meredith Owen, answered in a very matter-of-fact way that it was. They hastened to explain that they were now delegates to the Peace Conference. which was still in session, but they said they expected to get matters in 'hand shortly after, but as the government was footing the bills, they had to take the cus- tomary trip through Europe, before going to Paris. After leaving them, we decided that it was about time to set sail, and soon we had arrived at the abode of the Sibyl. On entering the portals of this abiding place, one is impressed with the resemblance of Hades, as Dante pictures it in his Inferno. Ghostly forms are seen in the distance. Iiats are Hitting from place to place. The mournful cry of the hoot owl is mingled with the hideous sound of escaping steam contaminated by the abominable odors of sulphur, apparently emerging from the depths of the earth. Horrors!

Even at our altitude of thirty-five hundred feet, we were aware of exceedingly lurid lan- guage rising on the breeze. With our field glasses we looked to the ground below and saw Edwin Wagstaff sitting on the sidewalk, enthusiastically talking to a banana peel. VVith this last sight we had either seen or heard from each meinber of the illustri- ous Class of 1919. Having this knowledge, our merry party returned to our hotel to talk over the events of the past two days. fi 1,-,1 QQQW Q SPRINGFIELD HIGH soHooL HERALD MQQM-QQSQ The Star and Crescent Literary Society THE time has come for the Seniors to bid good-bye to their locker keys for- ever and henceforth to be classed with the Alumni. To juniors and other foolish folk who are absurd enough to envy us, we address this advice: There are un- sounded pools of joy in just being a stud- ent, with no worries on your shoulders, and no sighs in your heart at having to leave the school to which, during four years, you have become greatly attached. During these last few days there constant- ly comes up before us memories which will bind our hearts to High School until we reach the seventh age of man-little occurrences that at the time seemed triv- ial, but now they cannot be eradicated. XYe, therefore, beg of you to look upon our shortcomings and protit from them. Get all you can from your school life. You have it only once. Take part in every- thing possible, and in this way build up a school full of life and spirit. The Star and Crescent Literary Society is one of the agencies through which the spirit of the school is materially helped and through which many curious species of literary talent have been unearthed. XX'ith knowledge of all things, both great and small, Meredith llaumgartner, president of the session, oiled the ma- chinery, regulated all affairs, and got everything in tiptop condition. The qual- ity of the programs given was above re- proach. The culmination of the half- year's work was the play, Martha by the Day, which was received with over- whelming applause. The performance was perfect in every detail: every participant was prepared, from lines to make-up. Everything had been done so thorough- ly and expeditiously by the president that there was no work for the second one. Therefore. work had to be found.

Never to refuse to take part, and al- ways to take part to the best of your abil- ityfthese are the fundamentals upon which Star and frescent is built. Taken from any point of view whatever. it has certainly been a most wonderful year and we Seniors have only thoughts of keenest regret at having to leave such a congenial class. May those who follow in our footsteps keep up the good work, being not self-seeking, but. to coin a word, self-giving. This, the keynote of Star and Crescent Literary Society, is also the key- note of a successful life.-l.ucy li, Nlen- denhall, 'ISL The Forum Debating Society T ll.'XS been six years since the liorum Ilebating Society was organized in the Springfield lligh School.

Talk? Why, you will say. every one. un- less afflicted with some impediment of speech, is able to talk. This is trite only as long as you consider talking in the nar- row sense of the word. Nlark how many people are able to get up and talk before a large audience of people or even a few of their friends without feeling and acting embarrassed and making hearers in gen- eral feel uncomfortable. Note the people who are able to speak with that ease and grace which one delights to hear. llow disappointing the number! You may say that only one who intends to be a public speaker needs this training. This is a false statement from the ground up. No one who has any influence or amounts to anything in the world is able to go through life without at some time or other finding it necessary to address a group of people. This is one of the purposes ofthe society, to tit its members for these occa- sions and help make them speakers of con- lidence. lleauty of speech is not all that is needed. ln addition to this. a good speak- er nmst present his views in a concise and Tllli l.IiC l'l'Rlf ROOM it Li Q! lil!!

To acquire these lualities the speaker in his preparation nust dig down to the depths of his sub- ect, admitting and rejecting material as ne thinks best. VVith this done, the work las only begun, for then the material nust be arranged in the most forceful nanner. Now it cannot be disputed that lebating is by far the best practice that an be gotten along this line. So this, nonorable High School, is the Foru1n's Surpose, to aid its members to be logical hinkers, and consequently logical and onvincing debaters. Une thing about this society which is specially emphasized and has caused nuch comment is the Forum spirit. New nembers, before they have ever heard of hese ideals of the society, have often poken and been deeply impressed by the oyalty to the Forum of its members. Since its organization these ideals have Seen part of the society, until now they ,re its tradition and something of which it can b'e justly proud. The tendency is, in such organizations, for a few to get their special friends into the society, thereby forming a clique. This is a detri- ment to any band of people, because it Ineans exclusion of many who wish to join, for the simple reason that they do not belong to that set. In the Forum this has never been true, for representa- tives of all classes have always been found. Through its sociability it makes every member feel at home and know that every other Forum member is his friend. Again, this society stands for democracy. We have heard a great deal about democ- racy in the last few years and know it is one of the vital principles on which our country works. If the best country in the world feels its need, what a necessary factor, indeed, in a public school society! Now, after showing you what it is, we think the reader will agree that the Forum spirit is commendable and deserves to be continued.-Thelma A. Dunn, '19. Club Espanol THE Spanish Club of the Springfield High School was organized last year, Ind has continued through this school fear witlI much success. The Wittenberg .nd the High School Spanish students 1ompose the club this year, the meetings meing held once a month at the High School. The main object of the club is to gain facility and fluency in the use of the Spanish language. During the year manv enjoyable meet- ngs have been held. The programs have Seen varied and have consisted of inter- esting book reviews, Victrola music of Spanish selections, vocal solos, quartet numbers in Spanish, short talks on Spain and her customs, games makingiuse of the Spanish vocabulary, and two short Span- ish plays which gave much entertainment to the members of the club. On the whole, the club has had a suc- cessful year, extending to the students what they desired, and they, in turn, prof- ited by its meetings. VVe hope, that the club will continue, in the coming years, to be one of the leading organizations of the Springfield High School.- Marian Crane, '19, Le Cercle Francais IN THE fall of 1917 Le Cercle Francais was added to the list of literary socie- ies in our school. Only students of ?rench are eligible to membership. The neetings, which are held bi-monthly, are Soth instructive and interesting. The purpose of the club primarily is to supplement the study of French carried on in the class room, by stimulating an in- terest in the study of French history and literature. To this end some of the es- says, particularly those dealing with the QEFQMMWM SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Q!!! !!l!.?..!,fm history- or customs of the lirench people, were given in linglish. llowever, many of the shorter talks or essays were given in lirench, as are all srecitalions, dialogues. plays and songs. .Xt the second meeting in january, a playlet, entitled Les Mar- tins au Restaurant. was given, in which four members took part, two of them be- ing' juniors. l.ast year's program covered the very early period inf lfrench'history, beginning with the conquest of Haul by Caesar, through the establishment of the lirank- ish empire, down to about the thirteenth century. This year's program began with the thirteenth century and continued down to the causes bringing about the lireuch Revolution. More time has been devoted to the study of the literature co- incident with the period of history studied than last year. The essays also have dealt with the lives of great characters in lfrance.

It is composed of eighteen oys and girls, in various stages of their iusical educations, under the capable iadership of Professor Arthur juergens. 'his year all the members were High chool students, all four classes being epresented. Rehearsals were held every Thursday fternoon throughout the school year and ie members are to be commended for ieir regular attendance and cheerful co- peration with their competent instructor. During tl1e year all kinds of music, rang- ig from the classical, such as the Ber- euse from Jocelyn, to selections of a ,ghter vein, such as the March of the rish Colors, were studied and played. A number of times during the year the rchestra appeared before the student ody in auditorium exercises. Each time the selections rendered were well received and heartily applauded. On one occasion the speaker of the morning, Dr. Ferris. mentioned the orchestra as one of the things that should be highly appreciated by the school. Another time, when Pro- fessor Carl Hennaman, of St. Louis, him- self a skilled musician and competent judge of good music, heard the orchestra play, he pronounced it the best of its kind that he had heard in the whole United States. Although the past year has been a rec- ord-breaker in the history of the orches- tra, the prospects for the coming year are as bright as ever before. since the organ- ization will suffer slight depletion from graduation. It will lose but two of its members at Commencement time, and the entries from junior High, already partly trained in orchestra work by Mr. juer- gens, will quite outnumber those lost in the class of '19.-Frances L.

Having attempted to Jlay a practical joke on his sister the iight of the ball at the embassy, by tak- ing the place of the family coachman, in the darkness and confusion he gets the wrong carriage and the wrong ladies. His motives were misunderstood, and he was promptly turned over to the police. The story which he tells the judge in the morning is discredited by the judge, but Miss Betty Annesley, who is somewhat of a joke herself, decides to turn the joke, and for revenge hires james Osborne to take the place of the family coachman. whom she has decided to discharge for neglect of duty.

The second ass consists of those who expect to iudy a vocation, while the third is com- osed of girls who wislI to become Do- Iestic Science teachers. The series of lessons which Miss Hul- nger has planned gives the girls a thor- r ugh understanding of household science nd tlIe management of the home. Each lIase of cookery is taken up and studied ntil the pupil is able to reason out the why and wherefore ofthe preparation nd can plaII similar dishes. The order- Science ing of food. the planning of menues and the serving of meals is also an important part of the Domestic Science course. The training of the girls is greatly sim- plihed by tlIe nne laboratory in which they work. It is one of the best and Inost adequately equipped in the state. lt has been the custom for a number of years for the Senior girls to entertain the Inembers of tlIe School lioard with a six- o'clock dinner to show their appreciation of this course. The INCAKTTOCT had proven so successful that the girls of this year's class decided to follow tlIe same plan, and served to the members of tlIe School liloard a dinner that proved to them the value of the course in Domestic Science. -Uarlie Stuckey, 'l9. !'IIilI .5' OF .lI.-I.Yl,',4I. .-lI?Y',S' Dl?l'.el1CT.llE.VT Qf SEBLlG.ELELD HIGH SCHOOLHHERALD wwww The Manual Arts Department Illi general purpose of the Manual .Xrts lbcpartmcnt is the same as that olllleotllcl'1lC1J1ll'tll1ClltSUl'tlle school, to develop the hrain.

The old 2-1 lighting spirit, predominant in our ath- letics, was still there, and with the able assistance of Coach Rupp, who will leave us in june- not by graduation, but by resignation-lligh was ably represented in way of athletics. Our football team, although not win- ning every game, was in there lighting every inch ol' the way, and that is what we want to see. The football team of next year ought to prove a whirlwind, as only live members graduate. and that leaves six for the nucleus of the team. they get out of the navy. Then there are several others that have signified their intention of returning to school, The same may be said of the basket-ball team, three of its members graduating, but several good players being available for their positions. Tennis has been revived and we hope it will be adopted as an inter-scholastic sport next year, as there is splendid play- ing material in school. Our courts have also been fixed into some of the best in the state. 1 J THE GYMNASIUM i QQYQQMMWC -sPR1NoF11:LD-HIGIL SCPLQQILIIERALD ,gy 191 Football Review Coach, Rupp. Captain, Compton.

'l'hey're tall and short and plump and lean, some dark and others fairg Some girls with hair in braids and straight, . while some have curly hair. The years to come will many a change in face and figure see, liut one among us, we are sure, will still a Loehman be. Of one of us, e'en whe1I his hair has turned from brown to gray, No matter what his years may be, he's always Young, they'll say. In heavy weights you must concede weire second now to none, For there is one, we are assured, who is a Singleton. We'll never starve, for we have Mills: a Miller, too, is ours, Besides a Baker and a Cooke for Rice and other Hours. Our Oates grow tall, and so our Mills will ever be supplied. VVe have a Dyer, too, by whom all fabrics may be dyed. Our Taylor then can take the cloth, and, tho' he is no shirk, He'd better get our Ehrle bird to help him in the work. The soaring prices of meat will never cause us any strifeg We'll live on fish, for one has been a Fish- er all her life. W'e have a little L'Argent with which to pay each bill, But even so I'n1 much afraid one will be Owen still. It may not sound exactly right, but yet admit we must, Were not a particle ashamed of our two spots of Rust. NVe own no gaudy jewels, but, belonging to the class, Vlfe have a fine big Lockett-without a bit of brass! VVe haven't any trumpet, but we have a great big Horn, Wlhose fame we understand to Delaware's been borne. VVe don't believe in lapdogsg in that we're very sane. No woolly dog for mascot-for we prefer a Crane. VVe have a Hill, but from a climb we're known to suffer: VVe never need to puff and pant, we have a practiced Puffer. Our Rhodes are good, tho' made of Clay, our Carter lets us ride, For when we walk, we must confess, a Payne will Pierce our side. We are not superstitious, and we don't believe in luck, VVe never use strong language, tho' some- times we say O, Shuck! We favor prohibition and push it all we can, VVe have no water wagon, but we have a Waterman. NVe've studied hard, we've learned to work, but yet we're fond of fun. But now we go our separate ways-and so my Story's Dunn. -C. -E SPRINGFIELD HIGH sCHooL HERALD QQQQQZQQ Familiar Sayings of Familiar People Not unless it's cooked in a tireless :ooker. -C. Miller.
