H. S. With fear and trembling and also a certain amount of rejoicing, they entered upon this long four-years voyage on the Seas of Learning. When they first boarded this great steamer, they were extremely excited and bewildered. Everything was in a state of confusion. This condition, however, was quickly righted by the officers and crew. The new passengers were directed to their respective cabins. They were scattered about, some on the first, some on the sec- ond, and some, even, on the third deck. All seemed to become acquainted easily and in a very short time good old S.H.S. was again back in her stately order and accustomed routine. These new passengers, being unknown to the crew, were always in readiness to show their passports at a moment's notice to prove th.ir rightful presence. Being unaccustomed to their strange surround- ings, they often became quite confused and lost their way about, much to the enjoyment of other passengers who had already made part of this wonderful trip. Many times these landlubbers would seem unable to find the correct cabin in which they belonged and the stumbling over cabin doorstops was greater than ever heard of before. The principal officer, a stern, forceful looking person, was known as Captain E. W. Tiffany. This august person, al- though patient and considerate, would have no foolishness nor misbehavior on his ship. He had a crew of fifty to assist him in this work. After becoming accustomed to the round of work and pleasure aboard ship and suc- cessfully recovering from Latin and Alge- bra sea sickness, some having one, and some the other, all things went smoothly and it was not long before one year of the voyage had passed swiftly and safely for almost all. About this time the great ship entered the port known as South Morrs. Here the passports of all were signed when they disembarked for a few days vacation. After this all too short sojourn, they again set sail. A little more sure of themselves and a little better liked, they were allowed to mingle with the more experienced voy- gers. They accompanied them to the great mass meetings called by Captain Tiffany in the salon, and also met with them at the lunch hour in the ship's dining room. At these meetings held in the salon, they were made to listen to speeches and lectures given both by their Captain and other important personages who came aboard at some of the small ports. Doctor Evans, one of these, was the favorite. So well liked was he that the passengers made him a present that he might remember them always. Through these mass meetings it became evident to everyone that the Captain's one motto for all aboard was, Work. It was well that they got used to this maxim at P ' ,xii 5:11-I-'N ,... ,F . THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 23 that early point of the trip, for it sounded and resounded through the entire ship in the course of the two years that followed. Although this second year seemed to go well with the greatest part, there were many who were not without the company of Dame Misfortune. Tardiness to lunch, neglect of duties, and undue familiarity with the crew were all rewarded with time in the irons in hold 31, the number of hours being regulated by one on the Cap- tain's helpers. All the unfortunates man- aged to suffer through these severe pun- ishments, however, and as they neared Port Junior, all were ready for their pass- ports to be signed and anxious to again set foot on land for a short vacation, free from the ship's strict government. Time passed all too quickly and good old S.H.S. again steamed away. By this time these once insignificant landlub- bers were becoming very sure of them- selves and even condescended to give advice and direction to the new passengers who were unlearned in the ways of life aboard ship. Even the Captain became a little more lenient with them and some were asked to join his counsel that they might advise him on important matters. Others were asked to join the exclusive literary societies while those who had good voices gained admittance to the Glee Clubs which had been formed under the direction of First Mate Humberger. Now, many exciting events took place, when once the ship was well at sea. The first of moment was the Bookkeeping hur- ricane, unexpectedly run into just off the coast of Shorthand Island. The effects were terrible, some being washed com- pletely off the deck, but luckily for them some of the crew were on hand to come to the rescue at the critical moment. This, an almost disastrous event, was followed by a triumphant struggle with Basketball Pirates, who, coming from all directions, tried to outwit the brave and clever heroes of the grand old S.H.S. At last in a final battle royal, all foes were conquered and on their return from the pirate ship, Columbus, they were heralded as the bravest of men, especially as they dared bring the treasured silver cup with them. For this brave and fearless deed they were honored with the title of Ohio Cham- pions. Such excitement the good ship had never known before and it was a long time before anyone could again settle down to hard work. A little later in the year, after the holiday season, a party was given for only the passengers who had been aboard three years. Great fun was had by all who could trip the light fantastic to the beau- tiful melodies furnished by the ship's orchestra. Time passed swiftly at sea, and when the Spring season came the passengers and crew planned to have visitors on the ship, someday when they should enter a large port. This day they had programs of various kinds and a large crowd gathered on board to witness the exhibition. The Captain was extremely pleased with the success of this venture and decided that there should be an Exhibition Day held every year. Thus passed the third year of the famous voyage. Now, entering Port Senior, they were warned that on this last lap of the voyage they, as the oldest on board, would be asked to take over a great deal of respon- sibility. They assumed the most import- ant and envied places and were looked up to by those less experienced. In order to be one separate unit they organized them- selves into one body, elected officers and proceeded to prepare for their final dis- embarkment in the month of January. They chose James Meranda as President, Mary Ayer as Vice-President, and Dor- othy Egger as Secretary. With these three Z4 THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCI-IUOI, HERALD able officers they very successfully carried on their work. As the time drew near for the ship to enter the home port many affairs were given in their honor and the passengers next in rank presented them with a beau- tiful pennant in their favorite colors of old rose and cascade blue. Then, as a Final recognition of their work and faithfulness during the voyage, a farewell party was I 5 Q given in their honor just three days before the disembarkment. This voyage had been one of the most important events in their lives and as they disembarkecl, each, someday to sail his own little ship on the great turbulent Sea of Life, they were urged to have before them always their chosen motto, Deeds, not words. 9 fl I -- W 'W X ff W I K 5: D ' ' - THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 25 Mid-Year Class Prophecy BY GERTRUDE E. SIMS FTER many years of work, I have found it possible to fulfill a desire which I have long had, a trip around the world, using all modern modes of travel. Arriving in New York, whom should I meet but Leon Hutsler New York's second Theodore Roosevelt. He still possessed his rosy cheeks. VVonders will never cease! Because of his oratorical ability a speech a day is required of Leon. Through his great influence, I obtained passage on the mammoth airliner Progress, the com- mander of which was none other than my classmate, Carl Horst. Upon finding out that Carl had built Progress, I was assured of a safe journey to England. Leon said that he knew I would have a pleasant trip because james Meranda, Am- erica's new ambassador to England, was to be another passenger on the ship. In London, james took me to see William Stackhouse's production of his latest book, When I Was Seventeen. I was very glad of the opportunity to see When I Was Seventeen because it was produced by the most prominent actor of the time. After a delightful time in England, I crossed the English Channel in the boat Sea Hawk which acted as an escort for Albert Herby, who was the first in a period of ten years to swim the Channel. I never knew Albert was such a wonderful swim- mer, but time will do wonders. He had received many medals and loving cups because of his clever water tricks. I had always wanted to buy some gowns in the City of Fashion. The chance had come! Of course, I decided to go to the most exclusive shop, and whom do you suppose I found the leading modiste to be? None other than Guelda Burden and Eva VVilliams. I purchased several exquisite gowns, one of which I wore in Berlin when Wallace Ryan, the leading limburger cheese manufacturer, entertained me in a most delightful manner, although I can't say that I enjoyed my visit to his factory. VVhile in Berlin, I met Marjorie Gaza- way. Marjorie said that she was avitrix of a helicopter and would take me to Rome. In the City of Classics, Lillian Landell's painting, l'Forward, was arousing much interest. The young American's name was on the lips of all. I always knew that Lillian would be a great artist but I never expected to find her in Rome. When glancing at a paper, I saw where Dorothy Stultz was to appear in the opera Me- phistophelesf' Here was a chance to wear another of my Parisian gowns. I called Lillian and we attended the opera to- gether. I was surprised to hear what a beautiful soprano voice Dorothy had. No one had ever known that she possessed such a wonderful gift as she had kept it a secret. g Finding no more of my friends in Rome, I journeyed to Egypt. While searching for antiques, I met Charlotte Martin and Annabelle Mclntire. Charlotte was pro- prietor of a very clever antique shop and Annabelle was translating ancient Egyps tian writings. I bought some relics of Charlotte but it was impossible for me to become inter- ested in Annabelle's translations. I was 26 THE SPRINGFIELD ' HIGH SCHOOL HERALD sorry to see that Annabelle had lost her Hpepf' Her shoulders were dropped and she was wearing glasses because of hard study. The necessity of helping the unfortunate ones in the Near East was shown to me by Emily Clippinger who was Secretary of the Near East Relief. She was located at Teheran, Persia. Emily still possessed the ability of convincing one that what she was talking about was right. After she had talked with me for several hours, giv- ing me a million reasons why the Near East should be helped, I determined to tell my friends in America of the awful situ- ation. I knew it muct be awful since Emily talked so long and vigorously Cal- though I didn't understand half that she said because I had forgotten my diction- aryl. I found Calcutta, India, a thriving agri- cultural center, made possible by Margaret Miller who had developed its natural resources. Margaret Rehm and Dorothy Egger were in China carrying out their longed-for desire of helping the Chinese to find the right path. I visited them but refused to be told that it was my duty to remain there and help them in their work. I journeyed on to Ceylon where the Adams spice, blended by Ethel Adams, had taken its place among the culinary necessities of the world. Ethel gave me 'some spices which I planned to use imme- diately when I arrived home. Ethel was a very good friend of jacob Norr and, through her infiuence, he took me by submarine from Ceylon to Honolulu. jacob told me that a surprise would be awaiting me in Honolulu. Well, it was a surprise! Robert Hatheld was a great statesman on the Island and when I heard him speak, I was very much astounded to find his voice was very deep. It sounded like the roar of a cannon ball. Everyone came at his bidding. My geratest surprise was to find that Mary Ayer was his wife. I felt very sorry for her and hoped that Robert had not acquired his voice by using it on Mary. My journey through the foreign coun- tries was ended by a quick trip by airplane from Honolulu to San Francisco. In the private car of Jessie Stucker, a celebrated educator, I was taken to Holly- wood, where I found that Anna Harwood, who had been sent there by the Springfield News as a winner of a beauty contest, was setting the movie-world on fire. Esther Fisher and Louise Davis were rivals there for filling Gloria Swanson's place in the hearts of the men. Arriving in Chicago on the Hollywood Flyer, I was met by Floyd Smack, a great stock broker. During my visit there, he gave a reception for me and Odella Gwinn entertained us with the latest dance, 'lThe Airplane Dip. At our Nation's Capitol, Ollie Myers, the head librarian of the Congressional Library, brought to my attention the fact that Lucille Hall was supervisor of the U. S. Mint. Although as yet she had not become a millionaire, I still have hopes that some gold dust will stick to her fingers. Ollie also told me that Daisy Gid- eon was in charge of the Smithsonian In- stitute and still possessed her long hair. Thus my trip around the world proved to me that my classmates of Mid-1926 were the foremost leaders in the develop- ment of civilization- not only in the United States but also in all parts of the world. ki nm-.. .M THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 1926 Mid-Year Class Poem ANNAHELLE INICINTIRE, IOZ6 Nlifl Our happy school days now are soon to end, And by ourselves we must begin lzfe's game,- The teachers who have coached us now proclaim I n ly'e's stern test you're ready to contend. But, puzzled, we demand, On what depend Success and victory in this glorious game? What are the rules and what the highest aim? Of all the prizes what will mostly tend To bring to us respect and happiness? Then, to our troubled minds there comes this thought Be square, in all your work and play, be fair. In this way only can you win success, And count as victories all the battles fought. To win respect and happiness, be square. 1 THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD .M - A :sk aa iz. 35 ' 1 dx? 5 1926 JUNE CLASS OFFICERS 1 f 1 EARL MORRIS WM.

Cjunej fWilh apologies In Flniurrrj WRITTEN BY DOROTHY WRIGHT ERE beginneth the History of the Class of 1926. On a day in that season as I was biding at Parnassus Inn, it befell that there came at night to that hostelry a company of full three hundred sundry folk, who by chance had fallen into the same fellowship. All were pilgrims, riding to the Great Adven- ture. The chambers were small and close, yet we were right well lodged. When the sun had gone to rest and I had spoken with some of them and was soon of their company, we gathered about the fire. Nevertheless, before this tale goes further, I think it reason to tell you the quality of some of them as they appeared to me. With the knight will I begin. There was a knight of the tribe of Mor- ris, full valiant in war and ever honored for his worth. He had been in many battles and he hadexceeding renown. Albeit he was valorous, he battled much with his wits. There was also a Nun, full quiet and simple in her smiling. She was named Madame Brannon. Her pleasure was all in courtesy. In truth she was full diverting, pleasant, amicable of bearing. Her nose was slender, her eyes blue as heavens, her mouth small and soft and red withal. There was a young Squire well versed in the art of writing and philosophy. For- sooth, he ever pored over books in the cloister and especially did he take great delight in the Herald. His locks were curled as if laid in a press, he was of won- drous height, and his eyes twinkled in his head as the stars on a frosty night. This worthy squire was named Wilcox. There was an Athlete, great in strength. It was a great pity, methought, that he had a crick in his knee, for he could make a sport with the best of them. Our host was a seemly man, bold in speech, wise and discreet with bright eyes whose piercing glance chilled to the very marrow. Discipline aside, he was a right merry fellow, and there was no faiiger in Beattytown. After supper, he began to jest and speak of mirth. Now, lordings, he said, verily, you are right heartily welcome to me. I would fain review what fortune has befallen you. Then he began to muse, and forthwell he spake: Forsooth, full shy you entered into the halls of learning. You encountered many a right sore task. You did sleep thru the weary periods and reckon lost the hours from eight till two. Alas! How great the number has fallen by that dread hand- Indigestion, incurred in the darksome dining room. Eke, after you had full vali- antly conquered Lessons in the first round, I proclaimed a stay for several fortnightsf' Then each fell to reckoning his own lot and the young athlete spake: Anon we gathered courage to ourselves and ven- tured forth to try our blades. We right valiantly bore our banners and reckoned with many a foe. Sundry rumors did spread abroad of the prowess of a tribe far to the south. Forthwith a company of chosen warriors journeyeth to the fabled city to try their skill. Behold with what . ...... .,,,.,. ,,,, -.,,u.,, . I.-an-vw -ww'-.-.,,-,. THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 61 great joy did they wear the crown of vic- tory. Full self-important they sported themselves on the battle field at Columbus and waged herce warfare with various foes. Right fiercely did the battle rage till our noble army emerged favored by the lot of Fortune. Forthwith the whole tribe did hold a great celebration and with its mirth and hilarity startled all the natives. When all the folk had heard this story, sundry folk said sundry things, but for the most part they laughed and made merry over the tale. Then the Squire spake: Anon, the affairs of the tribe became confused and we pledged our word and besought the Knight to direct the course smoothly. I essayed to assist the Knight in this goodly work. Fortune allotted Lady Richison to keep accounts and Lord Patton to hold money bag. Anon, the Knight came before a full numerous crowd SA Q-'19 s g: and accosted them with sundry philosophy. Several of the ladies tripped their way in dance, and gave to the light the turquoise and rose. Later the tribe came to gather with great mirth and much delight. Forsooth, all marked with regret the approach of the time when they should depart from the halls of learning and a silence fell among them. Now I pray all them that hearken to this little treatise, or read it, that if there be anything in it that please them, they grant me favor and if there be anything that displeases them, I pray them also that they ascribe it to the defect of my cunning and not to my will, which would fain have said better-if I had had the cunning. Here is ended the History of the Class of 1926, completed by: Dorothy jane VVright. THE SPRINCIFIEI D HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Class Poem '26 ljunel ELIZABETH BRUCE Deep in our souls a print is made Of the life we are living now And the things which we do and say today Will be measured tomorrow, somehow. As the boy, so the man, is an adage worth thought As we tread o'er our path of today, For the things which we do and say right now Will mean failure or fame someday. When we go out in the world of men Will we be found wanting in care For the things in lde which make a man And give him the power to dare? Then why not try in our present lives To work for, to do and to say The things that will help in our future lives And make us worth-while someday? THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 63 Class Prophecy For Commerrial Sludenls BY EDRA STEWART ET wisdom, the Prophet said. But he was not speaking of wisdom teeth. Of course it is peculiarly fitting that a wis- dom tooth should appear 'at the very end of a high school career, but I had not fore- seen itg nor did I enjoy it. On the contrary, I found it excruciatingly painful. And just before the class picnic, too! However, William Shakespeare's words brought comfort and promise of relief: If ye have teeth, prepare to shed them now! Now breathe deep, said the dentist. Buzz-br-r-er-r - - -a-OW-ow-A-OW-w-w- Why, that sounds like a Liberty motor, thought I, forgetting the agony in my jaw. And sure enough, it was a Liberty motor, rushing me through the air at a fearful rate of speed Cwith what accuracy you shall hearll But familiar faces were all about me, and I grasped the fact that the Class of 1926 was on its way by airplane to hold our class picnic on the balmy shores of Lake Erie. Though how I got into the airplane has always been more or less of a mystery to me. I saw that Charles Spencer and john Hickman were piloting our planes, and recalled that both had been declared motor-minded by the findings of an in- telligence test they took as freshmen. A glimpse of the surroundings as our plane swept toward earth showed us that we were lost, for the earth was covered with snow and the air was bitterly cold. This was not Lake Erie. After the terrible buzzing of the motor had stopped, we climbed out, stretching our weary limbs. VVhat a sorry sight we must have made, with fear and wonder so plainly visible on our countenances. Hoping to encourage us, Paul Whitting- ton, one of the Y's Cwisej, made us a brave speech, urging us not to disgrace old S.H.S., and to remember the golden precepts of the Class of 1926. Can you eat golden precepts? asked Mary Mcrt. As if in answer to her question the word wait, spoken in a strange voice, seemed to come frcm the air in our midst. Fright- ened, and with furtive glances in all direc- tions, we began to build a fire. When a cheery blaze leaped toward the gray sky, we timidly seated ourselves around it. Stand, spoke a voice in the center of our crowd: and we immediately scrambled to our feet. Serve, came a still ouder command: whereupon Bob Crist jerkefl from his pocket a package of peanuts intended for his own private consumption and hastily passed them to the frightened group around the fire. Sounds like a memory selection, said Esther Mahan: Le's see - 'He serves - They serve-They also serve who only stand and wait,. Um-hum, mumbled Nora jackson, I always did like Shakespeare. Someone threw a log on the fire and we immediately turned to the direction from which the word Read was uttered in a familiar voice. Something met our gaze 64 THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD which we had missed before --a sign-post with the name Nova Zembla printed on it. Act, in that same familiar voice, came from the air, whereupon Alfred Mandator seized a piece of wood and flung it on the fire. It must be the Angels guiding us poor wretches, remarked Bob Crist as he laid another offering on the blaze. Ink-ink' came from the air. What on earth? we wondered. But just then the Hames shot upward and words came more clearly - Think! Think! It's Mr. lNalsh, cried Ruth Thomas, He's stressed those three words to us all year. Only he always says them in differ- ent order: 'Read-Think-Act' was the way he put it. Why, if we're in Nova Zembla, it must be frozen words, Esther Mahan supplied. Don't you remember Sir john Mande- ville's yarn about the frozen words in Nova Zembla? It's so cold, you know, that people's words freeze as soon as they leave their mouths. They thaw out when it gets warm. Those words froze when they were spoken and they thawed out because of our fire - the easiest ones first. That's why 'Think' was last. It's so hard to think, you know. They must have been frozen up here since the Norman period. Think of it! You can say it's ancient stuff if you like, Don Stewart drawled, 'ibut I think Ruth's right. It's the voice of our faculty still directing us in this wild region. We will, dear faculty, we will Read-Think- Act. We all seemed to catch the spirit, but more words began to thaw., A phrase- soft like rain water- Yet to be 4-yet to be. It's the Voice of Prophect, someone whispered as the voice continued. What is to be, is now at hand. What you are to be, you are now becoming. There were over a hundred in our party' We were all young, strong, ambitious, and even noted for our speed and accuracy. In a very short time, we had started a town in this cold, forsaken country. Each citizen was allowed to choose his occupa- tion. I was asked to write a history of the town and its development, and here are some extracts from my work: Virginia Lloyd, Helen Walker, Thelma Chafiin, and Audrey Ulrich, who chose to be movie stars, illuminated the town until a lighting system could be established, and later Emil Bright built a lighthouse, hired Karl Kerstetter to extend the power by wireless, and since then Joe Blose them out every morning. Money was an important element, so Ruth Campbell and Clair Corwin started a mint, coining money from melted gold- fish, and employed Kenneth Hartman, Elden Hauck, and Sarah Headley to stamp on the coins all day. The chief hotel was named after the owner, Hannah Hall. It had twenty rooms and boasted a bath to every forty rooms. Anita Hiett was the manager, Byrl Cook the chef, and Hazel Hull and Mary Mort were the bell hops. Dorothy Lee, Gertrude Wild, and Erma Townsend chose to open a bakery, for they kneaded the dough. Helen Titus's grocery assured good service, as she had Honest Weight and Fish Scales. It was reported that Martha Shirley and Lucille McKaig had a plantation on which they grew pie plants. Their closest neighbor was Helen -Iobe, who had a turkey farm. Mary Heil opened a restaurant and specialized in Eskimo pies and chili con carne, which were skillfully cooked by Edith Freye. THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 65 Milk was a necessary food. It was taken from the Milky Way and delivered by Paul Ehrle every morning. Marion Wentz used canned heat to raise sugar cane as long as she was able. Richard Stahl, Carl Titus, and Alfred Templin formed a corporation for the pur- pose of domesticating the seals to be sent to the United States for use on Christmas parcels. Medrith Sowders gave herself over as a missionary to the Eskimos-to teach them shorthand. The town paper was commercially a dealer in cold facts. It was called The Mid-Nite Sun. Paul Whittington was its editor, Herbert Forsythe made the weather predictions, and Nellie Everhart edited the Love-Lorn Column. Erma Beck, Helen Burrell, and Maxine Rankin started a beauty shop and put permanent waves in the nearby lakes, thus beautifying the scenery. It was ordained that Dorothy Todd, Thelma Yeazell, and Alta Curry should start a ranch, where they raised white mice for the fur market. The greenhouse owned by Thelma Sroufe and Edith McNeil was quite successful. The best sellers were ice plants, snow balls, and freesias. Earl Hoerner followed his scientific bent and kept himself in seclusion, where he was forever trying to find a way to extract the odor from that bulbous rooted plant, the onion. Lucille Carson and Evelyn Burt taught a school of fish. Chester Brinsley sold haberdashery in a drugstore owned by Nora Jackson and Thelma Johnston. I Harry Lippincott was president of the Snow Bank: Charles Spencer was cashier: Edna Gregory, teller, and Arthur Bauer was draft clerk. Often you could see Louise Markin up prices in her millinery shop as you went to the confectionery owned by Ruth May- bruck and Esther Mahan. Donna Burn- worth, the fire insurance agent, frequented this place and she always ordered Arctic Ice. Clell Oberly gave a correspondence course on A steady flow of words-an asset! Several took advantage of this, among whom we find Laura Shank, Helen Shiery, Julia Simmons, and Catherine Spencer. Mabel Hickman and Dorothy Harris had a library with a special depart- ment fcr the reading of palms and ther- mometers. Violet Siegel had charge of the palm reading. Corinna Dagan was studying to be a Shakespearian actress, while a company of girls, Virginia Black, Florence Brannon, Minabelle Friermood, and Ruth Allison went in for the more modern type of en- tertainment, vaudeville skits, the success of which was partially due to the ability of their press agent, Naomi Becker. Elwood Jones rewrote the dictionary in verse so that it could be easily memorized. Jeanette Stapleton opened a 5 and 10 cent store. At one counter Dick LeFevre sold hot dogs. The meat for these was oh- tained through the Sea Dog Fisheries op- erated by Harold Maier, Leonard Hamil- ton. and Howard Goltzene. High school athletic records made by Bill Hegele and Bob Crist were sold at the music counter by Reve Goldberg. Gardeners swarmed around the hardware counter, taking ad- vantage of the special on ice-cycles, until it was almost impossible for Juanita Well- inger to wait on them. Margaret Netts a profit in her chosen profession of creating fans for the new movie, The Mystery of the Kitchen- 66 THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Who Swept the Floor, starring Elwood Bronne. William Weaver was a successful house painter. Geneve Morningstar and Wilma Ulrich set up a studio where they taught aesthetic dancing. William Armstrong, Albert Her- by, Walter Netts, and Clifford Claar in- vented an eight-day furnace which went like hot cakes, and made its inventors fabulously wealthy. Myron Reck caught, froze, and tran- scribed for the Regent in Springfield, Ohio, the wild melodies of the Arctic winds. Chester Met-a-calf and opened a butcher shop. Ruth Thomas organized An-arctic Circle, consisting of Lillian Tavenner, Thelma Bougher, Beatrice Smith, Eleanor Wragg, .Er .Q and Gertrude Stein. The purpose of the circle was to supply overshoes to the needy. Thelma Peiffer wrote a volume of poetry, the publishing of which Isabelle Allen financed. The volume is entitled The Charge of the Flight Brigade, and other bits of wisdom. Lloyd Corbin built up a flourishing busi- ness in mushroom culture, after a recipe obtained from Mr. Weisbach. Don Stewart, William Wilcox, Carl Blauvelt, and Alfred Mandator built up an efficient i-cab system Chaving reduced the tax to get political pullj and these went buzz-z-ing about at all ho-w-ow-er-r - 'fShe's coming out of it all right, re- marked the voice of the dentist. HA little more ice, Nurse! Hd! , 1'--r - 1 THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 67 Class Prophecy , For General Course and Manual Arts Sludenlx' BY FRANCES FLEMING The blare of trumpets-the parade is coming! The crowd presses forward into the street. Down the avenue rumble the bedecked circus wagons, banners flying, bespangled ladies smiling, sleek horses stepping gracefully. Circus Day. I stand alone- -thinking - apart from the throng. Someone persists in stepping on my heel -I turn. Pardon, I began coldly. But who - Edythe! I ex- claim, Edythe King! And it is she- my chum of my happy High School days. Then we grin sheepishly - after ten years of separation to meet on the curb - waiting for a circus parade! The humor of it strikes us and we laugh. After a while, Let's go to the circus, she suggests with all her old-time vivacity. Remember the time, when we were in High School, that we went to the circus together? High School days! Let's talk them over! Soon, the parade is gone, the crowd dis- persing. Together we make our way to the circus grounds. Bk ik SIG Pk That day was to be a most memorable one for us, for it was the beginning of three months' travel over the entire United States. Edythe explained that she had been engaged in Social Service work in Akron, and that she was taking a much needed vacation. Good times, and no worry, she quoted her doctor. As for me, I was also vacationing during those sum- mer months. We entered the dusty circus grounds and began to weave our way among the groups of people. This is such fun, Edythe said, Seeing you and remembering our carefree old times together. I wonder what has happened to all the High School seniors since they graduated. just as he finished speaking, she stum- bled over a guy rope peg in front of the Big Top. Careful, leddy, admonished a grutf voice, Don't go fallin' in this here saw- dust. Too much mud underneath. Startled, I looked at the face beneath the carelessly worn cap. Robert Wood! I exclaimed. He grinned. So's your old man, he assured me, clasping my hand, And you're coming to see the old crowd perform? What do you mean? we asked in sur- prise. HD' yuh mean to tell me you don't know who owns, runs, manages, and performs in this circus? No, we denied. Surely no one we know! Yep. Who do you suppose owns it if it's not Barber Brothers, Martin and Leonard Barber we used to know back in High School days. There's a gang of us workin' together in the whole show. Come around later and visit. Then he hurried away, evidently having duties to perform. The gathering crowd began to jostle us forward into the entrance to the Big Top. just than an ear-splitting voice began to shout: Buy baby a bal-loon! Take th' chil- dren home a nice red bal-loon. Ten cents- only ten cents for a nice red bal-loon. Carl Wellingerf' I gasped, and started toward him. But Edythe pulled me back as a raucous voice rasped forth: Hurry up there, ladies. Tickets for the Be-e-eg show! This-a-way to th' be-e-eg show! Per-formance starts in five min- utes! Hurry up! Don't stop! !'That's Richard Meiling selling tick- ets! exclaimed Edythe as we were handed two tickets and hurried into the Big Top. That discovery so shocked me that I did not think to look at the face of the re- served-seat ticket-seller until Edythe again whispered to me, That's Lester Harlan, she told me. Thankfully, our seats were not far away. We seated ourselves on the creaking boards and reviewed our discoveries. Edythe clutched my arm. There's Martin Barber coming now, she pointed out, Let's ask him whom else we know in this circus! With her customary assertiveness she called and waved to him, and he politely made his way to our seats. After one look, his careful smile broadened into his old- time grin. 68 THE SPRINGFIELD Hello! he boomed heartily, This is luck! We were all wondering if we'd see any of the old crowd in town here. Do you own this circus? demanded Edythe, fairly bubbling over with ques- tions. Sure - Leonard and I, answered Mar- tin. That's why we call it 'Barber Broth- ers' Circus.' Come on out and meet some of our old friends. We cautiously clambered to the ground and followed him. He led us to the mess tent, where we found Allen Petticrew, the chef, telling Donald Preston that he had ten buckets of potatoes to peel and slice before supper time. Then we entered the side show of the Bearded Lady. She was tall, broad-shoul- dered, and spoke in a winning falsetto. l recognized her smile. Is that George 'Bill' Speed? I asked Martin. Yes, he assented casually, proceeding thru the crowded tent. He led us into the dressing rooms. Seated in the doorway, adjusting his false nose and patting his red wig into place, was Wilfred Fledderjohn, whom we learned to be the leader of the clowns. Near him, Lloyd Fry, George Franz, Hymen Wilks and Donald Geron were daintily rouging their cheeks and re- arranging the folds of their varicolored fluffy skirts, and adjusting the straps on their silver ballet slippers -all in prepar- ation for their clown act. In a corner, reading The Youth's Companion, sat Dan Lutz, The Clown Who Never Smiledf' Edythe and I weakly seated ourselves upon a box. We were suddenly bounced up into the air as the lid was raised from the inside. Time for my act yet? queried the well- known accents of jane McKee. Two boxes opened simultaneously. Not yet, came the response from - Horrors! Could that be Ruth Slager garbed in that slinky greenish costume, and Elizabeth Snyder in that terrifying coral pink one? It WAS! With cries of recognition they climbed gracefully out of their satin-lined boxes and greeted us cordially. We stood exclaiming over our good fortune in meet- ing them when jane suddenly slapped me on the back. HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Say! she announced in the vernacular of the circus. Why don't you two come along with us for the rest of the season? Two of our elephant riders were killed last week and we need two new ones. That would be great! Martin startled us by saying. He had been quietly watch- ing us and enjoying our bewilderment at finding so many of our friends there. Why not finish the season with us? We only have three months now, and the work isn't do difficult. We'd like to have you. just then the announcer's whistle shrilled its summons, and Elizabeth and Ruth and jane scrambled into their gaily painted boxes to be carried into the arena for their magician act. As they left, a band of pant- ing equestriennes entered. We recognized john Cline, billed as The Blond Wonder, Ivan Ferneau, Marie Deam, Olga Chernek, Esther Winans and Carl Wipert. They also urged us to come with them, and finally we consented., As we hurried out, excitedly planning to return in the evening, a well-known call came to our ears: Hot dogs! Red hot dogs! Get 'em while they're hot! Edythe halted suddenly. Haven't I heard that voice somewhere? she asked. Eagerly we worked our way through the crowd to the Hot Dog stand. There, wearing a crisp white apron and starched cap, with his hands deftly inserting hot dogs in rolls and garnishing them with mustard, worked - Vincent Crist! His booming voice did not attract all the crowd, however, for many people were jostling each other about in front of a nearby stand. At intervals satisfied indi- viduals departed carrying prized acqui- sitions of fluffy cotton candy. We edged nearer. There, winding mound upon mound of cotton candy, was Rudolph Evjen. How he had changed from the rollicking youth of former times!-Now he seemed so quiet and industrious. It was astonishing to see what changes time had wrought. That night we bunked in the circus train. With what trepidations we set forth!-All we knew was that we were traveling with a circus, and that some of our old friends were included in the com- pany. Where we were going, or what tasks we were supposed to perform, we had yet to learn. THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 69 Our first stop was made at four A.M. in Beech Grove, Indiana. Edythe and I spent the time before dawn keeping away from the trumpeting elephants and the roaring tentmen, but we, badly frightened, rode our elephants-Frieda and Flapper- in the parade. Creola Arthur, Evelyn Thomas, Margaret Mitchell and Helen Davidson reassured us of our safety-they said that they had ridden for eight years and had never yet been injured. As we were jogglingalong, I noticed the sign j. Patton-Justice of the Peace. Another one of our old friends discovered! But I was too busy keeping upon my pon- derous Frieda to tell the news to Edythe. At noon we ate with the circus people and found to our astonishment still more of our former High School chums seated at the board with us. Margaret Webb and Josephine Cordes were famous for their trapeze act, billed as Webb-Cordes, and we found Ronald-Marvelous Sword- Swallower to be none other than the former Paul Schwartz. Mary MacDonald, Lillian Steele, Maxine Grindle and Mary Louise Hiet were famed bare-back riders. We soon became adapted to the hard, gruelling life of the circus and began to love the constant bustle and tear of our work. During our tour we met many of our old schoolmates who had moved far from their former homes in Springfield. In Fort Madison, Iowa, we found that Sara Montgomery owned a most fashion- able tea-room- Stoppe-Inn. We also learned that Esther Leitschuh and Helen Long were assisting her in her successful enterprise. In Chardon, Nebraska, we saw Harold Miller and his wife fformerly Helen Lind- sayj and congratulated Harold on his recent triumphs on the concert stage. During the second week of our tour, the show played in the town of Meeteetse, Wyoming, and there we found time to visit the cattle farm of Carrol Hayes. As the result of our visit Barber Brothers gained a new freak animal-a three-legged calf which john johnson and his wife Cformerly Helen Chapmanj were hired to train and exhibit. We found Lynn McLane to be the post- master in Miller, Utah, where ,Ada Cald- well owned a hat shop and was assisted by Frances Hargo and Beulah Alexander. Kathryn Paden was the superintendent of schools in Salt Lake City with Evelyn Breedlove the supervisor of the Kinder- garten Department. Grayce Peacock and her partner William Wood were feted dancers in Reno, Nevada. We found Namah Schafer in Riverside, California. She had become well known in scientific work and her picture and the story of her rise to fame had just recently been pub- lished in the W0rld's Work Magazine. All Los Angeles was proud of her gifted lawyer, Mary Timmons, who had never lost a case. Also in Los Angeles we found Louise Flynn and Sophie Salzer devoting their time to a thriving newspaper. They were busy gathering late news of the latest divorce case which gripped the interest of the entire nation. Constance and Mar- jory Zahm had married Larry and Harry Tyler, the duplicate twins made famous by the Winnie Winkle comic strips, and the couples could not agree. The jury was still deliberating when our circus left town at midnight. In Yuma, Arizona, Victor Adler, the driver of the dog team, was injured by a falling beam and taken to a sanitarium owned by the noted physicians, Rose jet- more and Martha Baughman. Omer Fultz then became our new driver of the dog team. Near the sanitarium we found Charles Hayes and Russell Hirtzinger to be the owners of a large ranch. Their most able cow punchers were Charles Gaylord, Eugenie Ridwell, Howard Williamson and Vernon Harley. If it had not been for two of our old friends the circus would have been ruined when we played in Phoenix, Arizona. At nine o'clock, just as the parade lines began to form, William Clarke, one of the tent men, came rushing up to Leonard Barber. They've made today a holiday in this burg, he gasped. There's not a loaf of bread in the town. Leonard and Martin left the parade in charge of Ralph Smith and hurried off in search of the necessary nine hundred loaves of fresh bread for the circus people and the two hundred loaves of stale bread for the polar bears. Every bakery in the country was closed-except one. We got it, shouted Martin as the re- turned to the circus lot, long after ,the parade. From 'Baker and Baker'- Say, 70 THE SPRINGFIELD H IGH SCHOOL HERALD did you know that Frances and Eloise Baker saved our lives today? Some of our old classmates have turned out to be real heroines! William Snyder proved himself of ster- ling worth when we stopped in his native town of Denver, Colorado. just before time for the afternoon performance, it be- gan to rain. Of course the Big Top and the sideshows protected the people from the deluge during ther performance, but when the crowd started homeward tragedy faced them. But William saved their clothes and lives. He stationed his able helpers, Clinton Suckon, Gorden Worthen, Eugene Triquet and Waneta Turner near the entrances with their arms full of his Finest brand of umbrellas. The townspeople bought and returned to their homes un- harmed-all due to William's businesslike enterprise. The honor of the circus had been saved. Barber Brothers nearly met a catas- trophe in Raleigh, Kansas, however. The afternoon's performance was fairly well attended but the evening's crowd was terribly poor, and as we pulled out Leonard told us that the circus had lost several hundred dollars by trying to play the town. But why didn't the crowd come? we queried. Oh, we should have known better, Martin answered. Remember our class president, Earl Morris? Well, he's been nominated for governor of Kansas and gave a political speech tonight. Of course the whole town turned out to hear him speak tonight, just as the whole state will turn out to vote for him. But we don't mind our loss. lt's worth it to know of his success. , In Emporia, Kansas, we were agreeably surprised to meet Robert Chappell, who offered his services to our circus as a pop vender. He had completed a new invention which consisted of special apparatus at- tached to the feet and which allowed the person wearing it td Hy. At a signal from a prospective pop drinker, Robert would flutter up to him and remain poised in mid air while serving .him and making change. The invention saved him from precarious climbing up and down the banks of seats, and as a result his sales often amounted to S100 an afternoon or night. I regret that I have not yet told of one of the feature trapeze acts of our circus- the eccentric Tin-Dins. They still pre- served precious memories of their high school days in the color scheme of their costumes. They wore blue tights with chains of tiny jingling gold-edged tin cups abouth their waists and wrists. Elizabeth Bruce was the leader of the Tin-Dins, while the other members of the famed troupe were Ruth Hullinger, Ruth Richison and Ruth Hollenbeck. The Tin-Dins were a very tempera- mental troupe, very fond of wandering about the towns in which the circus played. In Plattsburg, Missouri, they took a long jaunt on four of the speediest camels of the circus and returned just in time for their performance that night, very excited. We found out that Elizabeth Harner's going to be married tonight, they told us, and we pursuaded her to postpone the wedding until ten o'clock so we could be there. Grace Raup Cyou remember herj cancelled an engagement in Los Angeles to come to the wedding. She's a famous child impersonator there, and Nancy Louise Bauer is with her-she plays the drums for Grace's acts. So the Tin-Dins shortened their act: spent an hour putting a new coat of gilt on their tin-cup sashes and bracelets, and went to Elizabeth's delayed wedding. They reported that during the services the bridegroom Cjohn Neesej was very composed, and that the best man Cjohn Elliottj looked as immaculately handsome as ever, but both fainted during the Tin- Dins' daring trapeze stunts which they performed for the wedding guests. After the midnight supper the wedding couple were showered with roses 'delivered from the Cable Cab Co., operated by Virginia Seaman and Dorothy Bowlus, and sent from Hartshorn, Missouri's Rouge Rose florist shop of which 'Louise Staley and Dorothy Wright were proprietors. We were nearing Ohio at,last,, and Edythe and l were beginning to wish for our quiet homesagain. The glitter and glamour of the circus had been fun for a while, but we were as tired of trying to keep ourselves balanced on our elephants during parades as Frieda and Flapper were tired of trying to help us keep on them. THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 71 But we were destined yet to have further adventures. As we neared Kentucky, Frieda became very sick with the colic. One afternoon's collection of food had consisted of a con- glomeration of peanuts, candy, chewing gum, popcorn, gumdrops, hay, apples, lollypops, and bananas. We called Henry Smith and Eugene Somers, the elephant trainers, and they gave Frieda jamaica ginger and paregoric. But nothing could cure her, and she died at ten o'clock that night just as we were leaving Clay City. Reginald Rhodes preached a brief funeral sermon, while his wife, formerly Mary Bodine Busey, helped console us very much in our bereavement. By the time we had reached our next stop, at Ashland, Kentucky, Edythe's elephant had grieved herself to death, so Ethel Louise Bovey, the town magistrate, preached Flapper's burial service. In Covington, Kentucky, the lions got loose and nearly caused a stampede among the horses. The attendants, Ronald Straw- der and Roger Smith, and Harold Warren, had left the door of the cage unlocked and when the lion tamer, Henry Dunber, came to get the lions for his act, he found only the empty cage. Not daring to tell the audience of the escape of his pets, Henry began to search for them. Entering the Big Top, he found the clowns, john Wilson and Elmer Turner, playing hide-and-go-seek with the lions. The audience was howling with laughter, but when the lions saw their trainer ap- proach and heard his whip crack they went slinking back into their cages. Gretchen Hauck, Ruby Haley and Faith Young, the camel riders, then assisted john and Elmer down from the rafters, and Robert Cahp- pell Hew down into the tent again with his pop cases. At four o'clock the next morning the circus pulled into our home town-our beloved Springfield - and unloaded at South Side held. 'Glad we were to be back' and glad we were that the circus was to be disbanded for the season after that night's performance. The parade with all its folderol and glit- tering display greatly pleased our towns- people. But on the return to the circus grounds a calamity occurred to the calliope player, Alfreda Reams. Her jeweled head- dress fell from her head, striking the side- walk and breaking into minute particles. She was so mortified that she declared she would not play her calliope that afternoon, but she relented, and its piercing strains again smote our ears the remainder of the day and night. During the evening performance a terri- ble tragedy occurred. Wilfred Fledder- john, the clown leader, and his Fun and Farce Trio, Robert Tittle, Lester Younts and William Poland, were entertaining the vast audience with their bulioonery when into the Big Top walked a tall, stately lady. VVilfred, as usual, ran to greet her eifusively much to the amusement of the spectators. Suddenly, however, he fell Hat upon his face. The clown troupe and the Tin-Dins sorrowfully bore his cold form away. Miss Roberts' look had turned him to stone. lk lk Pk Sk I turn once more. Pardon, I coldly remind the individual behind me, But you are ruining my heel. The shrill echo of the screaming calliope deadens her retort. I turn and wend my weary way homeward. Dreaming.

The purpose of the club is to interest students in Art at home and abroad. The club opened its year with a party for old and new members. The meetings which followed were both instructive and interesting. The discussions which have been about foreign countries, were illus- trated by slides. One of the club's greatest accomplish- ments was the obtainment of the Professor Sandoz, a famous Swiss traveler, who pre- sented, in color, his wholly unique por- trayals of Visions of Art. These talks were: Bewitching France, Artistic Spain, f'Northern Africa, Visions of the Orient, and The Egypt of the Pharaoahsf' Social times were also enjoyed by the members of the League. One most unusual affair consisted of a game in which differ- ent objects, each one representing some famous painting, were placed about the room. This party was concluded with a social hour and refreshments. Although the Art League is one of the newest organizations in the school, it has become one of the most important. Miss McBeth deserves much credit because of her successful attempts to instill a love and an appreciation for art among the students of the school. THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HER.-Xl.D 75 Cabinet HIS Cabinet which was organized ten years ago by Principal Tiffany, is composed of boys and girls chosen from the Senior and junior divisions. The members of the Cabinet are appointed by Mr. Tiffany. At present about one hundred students are members. The purpose of the Cabinet is to advise Mr. Tiffany and to influence the rest of the school by setting a good example. Since the members of this organization mingle with the other students, it is possi- ble for them to voice to Mr. Tiffany the opinion of the school. Then, too, by doing the right sort of thing and dropping a word here and there it is possible for them to create a good influence among the other students. There is no definite schedule for the meetings but they are called whenever they are deemed necessary. At the meet- ings talks are generally given by some of the members and Mr. Tiffany. Sometimes outside speakers have addressed the club. Une of the main events during the past year was an auditorium meeting which was entirely under the direction of the Cabinet members. 76 THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Center Street Hi-Y Club OFFICERS Presidenf - - ---- HENRY SMITH Vice-Presizlenf - ---- JOHN ADAMS Secretary - - Treasurer - - HE Center Street Hi-Y was organized in 1919 for the purpose of creating, maintaining, and extending throughout the high school and community high stand- ards of Christian leadership. Under the leadership of Mr. J. R. Butler, Assistant Secretary of the Center Street Y. M. C. A., the club has steadily grown until now it has a membership of nineteen. At the beginning of the past school year, an extensive program was mapped out and was carried out during the year. The Club met each Tuesday night. At every other meeting the members were addressed by some noted man. A course in Bible study was completed under the guidance of Rev. - DOUGLAS PAYN E - LLOYD CORBIN H. S. Smith of the Y. M. C. A. The fifth annual state Hi-Y Basketball Tournament was held in Springfield March 19th and 20th, under the auspices of Center Street Hi-Y Club. Eight Center Street Hi-Y boys attended the State Older Boys' Conference, which convened at Middletown November 28th, 29th and 30th. A similar but smaller con- ference, known as Older Boys' Citywide Conference, was held in Springfield during the month of April. The Hi-Y Club of '25-'26 has completed a full program of live-wire activities and has at least built a safe foundation for future clubs.

The club has accom- plished this purpose and has proven to be a great success. The Commercial Club assisted the mem- bers in gaining self-confidence, in govern- ing themselves in speaking before others, and in obtaining a more practical idea of business organization and management. To give the members of the club a wider knowledge of the commercial world, many prominent and successful business men of Springfield have spoken at the meetings of the club. In order to give the members a practical knowledge of business estab- lishments, many trips were made to vari- ous manufacturing plants through the courtesy of the officials of the companies. A few of the plants visited were the Inskeep Manufacturing Co., Champion Chemical Co., American Seeding-Machine Co., and the Purity Ice Cream Co. The enrollment of the club is approxi- mately fifty. lf the future members take as keen interest in the club as the present members, it will be a leader among the clubs of the school. That the club has been a success has been largely due to the supervision of the faculty advisors, Mr. VValsh, Mr. Lacey, Miss Hunsaker, and Miss Bennett. 78 THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCIIDDI. HERALD Cotton Hi-Y OFFICE RS Presidenl - - - - - TED BEACH I ice-Presideni - - RALPH PRESTON Sefrelary - - - DON COLLIER Treasurer - HE Senior Hi-Y not being able to ac- commodate more than forty boys, the director of that club CML Millerj felt that more young men needed the assistance which the Hi-Y gives to the high-school boy. For this reason the Cotton Hi-Y was formed. The aim and object of this club is to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards - REI D MARTIN of Christian character. This club has organized several junior Hi-Y's in the junior High Schools, distributedliteratureg given talks in the churches for the purpose of aid to the Community Fund: aided in the Peace Week movementg carried on a Bible study during the school year, made the club a standardized Hi-Y. and also staged several social parties. THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 70 Forum OFFICERS Presirlenl - - - - - LOUISE STALEY Vice-Presidenl - - WILLIAM SNYDER Secretary - - - RUTH SLAGER Sergeanl-al-A rms - INCE 1908, when it was organized, the Forum Debating and Declamation So- ciety has been one of the best literary societies in the school. The first faculty advisor and founder of the club was Mr. Patterson. It was founded for the purpose of creating an interest in public speaking and making the student proficient in self expression. The programs for the year are outlined in advance by an appointed committee and consist mainly of debates and one or two declamations. One of the main events in the society's activities is the Mock Trial. Every year there is a contest between the Star and Crescent and Forum in the shape of either a debate or a declamation. - DICK LE FEVRE This year the Star and Crescent chal' lenged the Forum to a debate that was held May 7th and was won by the Star and Crescent. The debate as a whole was well given and both teams deserve praise. Contrary to past custom, two elections of officers were held this year. The first semester officers were: Elizabeth Harner, Elizabeth Bruce, William XVilcox, and William Snyder. The society is greatly indebted to Miss Haeseler, its faculty advisor. Throughout the year she gave time and skill to make the society a success and was a valuable asset as coach for the Forum debate team. To the future members the parting mem- bers wish successful years and better luck in the annual intersociety del'ate. 80 THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD French Club OFFICERS President - - ---- WILLIAM SNYDER Vice-President - - RUTH CRABILL Secretary - - - ELINOR DEATON Treasurer - - DOROTHY WRIGHT everal years ago the French classes of Springfield High School, with the aid of Miss Zimmerman, founded what is known as the French Club. The aim of this society, as stated in the constitution, is to enable the members to obtain a broader knowledge of French history and literature than can be obtained in the class room. In its semi-monthly meetings it presents programs consisting of talks, recitations, plays and dialogues dealing with French manners and life. The ex- perience the members have received from taking part in the programs was of inestim- able value. In its programs the French Club has observed French holidays such as the Poisson d'Auril. The French Club has prospered in the last few years and now contains a large number of French students. Altogether the members feel that this year has been very beneficial and hope that the future years will be as successful. THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 81 Friendship Club OFFICERS President - - - - - FRANCES FLEMING Viee-Presidenl - - LOUISE STALEY Secretary - - - MARTHA DEMAREST Treasurer - - - - ELIZABETH BRUCE HE Friendship Club is composed of one hundred and sixty girls. The Club is just a small part of the vast Girl Reserve Organization. The Club members hold exceedingly high ideals. Ruth Richison, Anna Harwood, and Frances Fleming re- cently won honor rings which are given only to those who live for a period of two years according to a strict program set forth by the organization. The meetings are held every two weeks and varied programs are given. There is usually a talk by some prominent citizen, several songs by the club, and a short playlet. The high spots in the club's past his- tory have been a Pirate Party, Christmas Party, Faculty Frolic, and Mothers' and Daughters' Banquet. Miss VVest is the secretary of the club and takes a great interest in the individual members as well as in the club as a whole. The honor creed of the club is as follows: I would be true, for there are those who trust me: I would be pure, for there are those who care: I would be strong, for there is much to sulferg I would be brave, for there is much to dare: I would be a friend to all, the foe, the friendlessg I would be giving, and forget the gift: I would be humble, for I know my weakness: I would look up and laugh, and love and lift 82 THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Girls' Council OFFICERS Presidenl - - ---- AMY LOUISE HAESELER Vice-Presiden! - - MARGARET MCGREGOR Secretary - - - RUTH CRABILL Treasurer - - MARY MONTGOMERY N 1923 the Girls' Council was first or- ganized. It was at that time composed of girls appointed by the Dean of Girls, Miss Knott. It is now made up of girls elected from their respective divisions. The purppse of the Council is to help keep up the Iporals and morale of the girls of the High School. The meetings are held every two weeks and have proved very interesting through- out the past year. The programs which are instructive as well as entertaining, consist of discussions on various subjects of in- terest to the girls. Several social events have been given during the past year. Prominent among them was the Mothers' Tea, which proved most enjoyable. A picnic was given which ended the club year. Great credit is due to Miss Knott, the Faculty Advisor, who has contributed much toward making the council a success. -Lx. t-'rc-.gxj 5- ,,. -I THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 83 Gold and Blue Magazine Club OFFICERS President - - ---- MARTHA SHIRLEY Vice-Presideffl - - MARTIN BARBER Secrelary - - - GRETCHEN HAUCKE Treasurer - - VIRGINIA BLACK HE Gold and Blue Magazine Club was organized in 1919, under the sponsor- ship of Mr. Conover. In 1921 Mr. Carey became the Faculty Advisor. This year there were three sponsors: Miss Neer, Miss Gaumer, and Mr. Carey. The Gold and Blue challenged the Star and Crescent for a declamation contest which was held May 21, 1925, in the audi- torium. The purpose of the club is to present programs of a high standard and to create a desire for the better magazines. The regular programs consist of readings, mag- azine reviews, current events, humorous clippings, and debates. Although theactiv- ities are along literary lines, yet the social side has not been neglected. A Hallowe'en party was given at Mr. Carey's home and a dancing party was given at the home of the president, Martha Shirley. This year the Gold and Blue has had a most enjoy- able time. Especial thanks is due to the guidance of the faculty advisors. 84 THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Historical Club OFFICERS Presidenf - - - - - DOROTHY BLATTNER Vice-President - - - JERRY WILLIAMS Secretary-Treasurer - - ALICE HINDS HE Historical Club was founded in November, 1922. During its early years the club had Mr. Karl Mollenberg as its faculty advisor. For the two years just past it has been directed by Mr. Thornburg. The purpose of the club, as stated in the constitution, is to create a greater in- terest in the subject of history and to de- rive greater benefits therefrom. The constitution limits the membership of the club, and places the scholarship at a very high standard, consecutive grades of 90 being required. This year the club had many enjoyable and instructive programs, among which might be mentioned Mr. Carey's report on his trip to the many historic spots in Virginia, Miss Paschall's and Miss Paden's accounts 'of their visits to California and the West,'.'and the description of the Na- tional Road in the early days as told to the club by Mr. Rizer, who was born near Cumberland, Md., more than eighty years ago. Visits to Crinnell's Mill to see exca- vated prehistoric remains, and to points of historic interest in counties of Southern Ohio, helped to stimulate enthusiasm for the club and its activities, and with the many new members who are entering its ranks, the club promises to attain to even greater success in the future.

H. S. Since its organization, it has endeavored to carry out a program that would benefit not only the members of the club but also every member of the student body. During the past year under the direction of Mr. VVills VV. Miller, Boys' Work Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and Reverend Paul E. Davies of the Oakland Presbyterian, the club has qualified as a registered and standardized club, something never before accomplished by any former club in Spring- field. This ranking is the highest which any club in the United States can obtain. During the past football season the members controlled the scoreboard, :md refreshment stand at the South Side Field. After each game the club was the host to the visiting teams at a banquet. At the end of the season the Hi-Y club enter- - RICHARD MEILING 1 ' . - NVILLIAM HEGELE gjervllfe tained the Springfield squad with an an- nual banquet at which the letters were awarded the players. On April 6th the club entertained with a banquet in honor of the basketball team. Letters were awarded at this time. The club was host to the members of the Fac- ulty on December Sth. At the end of the semester a Clean Scholarship Campaign was conducted throughout the school to eliminate un- fair methods in examinations. The senior group of the club conducted a vocational conference during the last semester. Prominent men in both profes- sional and business circles spoke before the group each week. The members feel that this year's club has been the best in the history of the school and has accomplished more than the club has ever done before. The program carried out by this year's club has helped to build a firm foundation for the future. 86 THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Latin I 2F1 ICE R S President - - - I'71.C6-Pf6Sid611f - - Secretary-Treasurer - Executive Board - E HE Latin Club was organized in 1923 from the members of the sophomore class, but its membership now includes juniors and seniors who have a grade of 80 or above in Latin.

It was sponsored by the instructors of the Manual Arts Department, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Seaman, and Mrl Camp- bell. This club was organized for the purpose of bringing Manual Arts students closer together and to instigate a better feeling toward each other and the school. Due to its late organization, its activities are few, although it sponsored exhibitions of the work turned out by the various de- partments in the past year. This club does not rely wholly upon the benefits reaped - ELDEN WALDRON through mutual friendship as student, but extends to the social side as well. Meetings are held every two weeks. After the regu- lar business of the society has been trans- acted, talks are given by different individ- uals on those subjects which are of the greatest interest along the Manual Arts line. This will be of great help in telling the members of the different kinds of in- dustries and kinds of work, some of which they would not otherwise know. Although the club is very young the members are looking forward to the time when it will be as large as any other society in the school. 88 THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Scouts Chief - - HE Scouts of the school organized in September, 1924, to take charge of the traffic condition in front of the school. They also wished to be prepared to help the school in the way of Public Service. In 1925-26, under the direction of Mr. Tiffany, they helped at the football and basketball games, took care of the traffic, and policed the halls. The Scouts put in an average of six hours a day besides the work of ushering at plays and other functions. - KEN NETH HARTM AN The boys who have been given their study periods and have helped in this work are: Robert Kohle, Douglas Payne, james VViant, james Thrasher, George Parsons, Abe Kearney, Weldon Baldwin, Robert Mowath, and Kenneth Hartmann.

' The club has been sponsored from the beginning by Miss Bartlett, and the credit for the success of the club is due to her. She has secured many of the speakers who were heard at meetings. Her home was - - - MARTIN BARBER - - CARL WIPERT - EDYTHE KING the scene of two parties during the year. A picnic at the Match Factory opened the series of meetings. This picnic created a spirit of fellowship among the students. Another picnic was given at the close of school. The club meets bi-weekly.

Miss Bartlett with her careful supervision, will continue' in the future as she has in the past in making the meetings enjoyable and the spirit of the club educational. 00 THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Star and Atom I IFFICE RS President - - - - - HENRY DUNBAR Vice-Presidenl A - MYRON RECK Secretary - - - LOUISE FLYNN Treasurer - - CARL MARRES HE Star and Atom Science Society has completed its third successful year. The club has been under the general supervision of the science teachers, espe- cially Mr. Eckert. Club membership has been limited to students of Chemistry and Physics who have obtained a grade of 90 in science and an average of 80 in other subjects. Few juniors are members of the club, for none were admitted after the first grading period. Besides the executive committee which consists of- the officers, there are several other committees in the club, the most important of which are the membership, program, and pin committees. Last year the club adopted blue and silver as its ofiicial colors. The colors were carried out on the club pin. The usual program consists of a paper on recent discoveries and inventions, a main paper, and individual discussion. Then the meeting is open to general dis- cussion. Much credit for the club's success is due to Messrs. Stevens, Corwin, Fox, and Eckert. The faculty and members who remain after graduation are intending to make the club bigger and better in the coming years. THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 01 Star and Crescent OFFICERS President - - ---- EARL MORRIS Vice-President - - FLORENCE BRANNON Srcretary - - - VERNA CHENEY Treasurer - - DOROTHY VVRIGHT I-IE Star and Crescent Literary Society has the distinction of being the oldest club in Springfield High School. Mr. Pat- terson, Mr. Tiffany, and Miss Ebersole have their names on the records of this club. This year the club advisors are Misses Anderson and Ebersole. Strict scholarship requirements are nec- essary for club membership, which is lim- ited to sixty members. Formerly only juniors and Seniors were admitted, but this year Sophomores have been granted membership. The programs of the club have con- sisted of debates, declamations, original stories, book and magazine reviews, and current events. For the last two years the Star and Crescent has been especially successful in the literary field, defeating the Forum in debating contests for two consecutive years. Usually the Star and Crescent challenged the other clubs to a declamation contest but contrary to custom challenged the Forum to a debate. The annual clash between the Gold and Blue and Star and Crescent was wcn by Star and Crescent. The members who will be left after graduation feel confident of a successful future and look forward to many more victories. 92 THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Band N organized band has been one of the many accomplishments of Mr. Hum- berger since he has come to Springfield. Throughout the year the band was a constant attender of the football and basketball games. The flashy gold and bluencapes and white trousers presented as pretty an eliect as did the music, a cheering ellect. The band acted not only as a stimulus to the team but was an im- portant factor in advertising the games and the school. Several times during the year the band was seen in parades. Early last winter it entered the amateur band contests con- ducted during Booster VVeek. It was given the third place prize for its work during this week. Next year, plans are being made for a larger and better trained band. There will be a junior and Senior band and both will receive much more attention and time than this year. Orders for regular band trousers have been made and plans for special marching arrangements are being consid- ered. EDITORS NOTE: Thanks are due the band for the fine support it has ,given the school throughout the year, and it is to be hoped that it will continue each year a bigger, better band. THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 93 The Girls' Glee Club OFFICERS President - - - - - REVA GOLDBERG Vice-Presidenl - - DOROTHY FRY Secretary - - - EDRA STEWART Treasurer - - FLORENCE BRANNON Pianisl - - GERTRUDE STEIN LTHOUGH the Girls' Glee Club was organized in the Springfield High School for several years, this is the first year that it has elected officers and carried on regular club meetings. The club, under the direction of Mr. Humberger, besides studying its own mu- sic furnished the chorus for the operetta and May Festival. During the year it has given several very delightful programs, including that one given by two student artists from the , Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. The reception given in honor of these per- formers was quite a success. 1 Other programs given during the year included instrumental, piano and vocal numbers, and musical readings. All the members of the club will agree that the year has been a huge success, both from the musical and social standpoint. All hope and believe that it will be as suc- cessful in the future. 94 THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Orchestra HEN Professor C. R. Humberger first came to Springfield, the high school orchestra contained only 15 stu- dents. Now it has a membership of 65 students, with a full orchestration except the English horn and bassoon. This orchestra has made a marvelous improve- ment in the last five years, as one can readily see from the growth of its mem- bership. Last year a member from the orchestra received a scholarship in the Cincinnati conservatory of music, and this year, dur- ing the week beginning April 12th, the orchestra sent two delegates CVeronica Frank and Eugene Edwardsj to the National High School orchestra in Detroit. Also for the last two years, several students have played at numerous banquets. We feel that all these wonderful accom- plishments have been due to the director, Professor G. R. Humberger. THE SPRINGI-'lEl.lJ HIGH SCHOOL HER.-Xl,lJ 05 Class Play FFURDINIQ to the annual custom the graduating class of S. H. S. has given a play. The title of the class of '26's play was The Hudsons Entertain.

For the first time in the school's history there was a boy's team and a girl's team. While one team debated at home the other team debated away. The subject for debate was Resolved: that the air forces of the United States should be unified with a secretary in the president's cabinet. The girls upheld the affirmative of this question and the boys debated the negative. The first debate was against Dayton Roosevelt on April 16th. The S. H. boys met a boys' team at Springfield while the girls debated a boys' team at Dayton. Both S. H. S. teams were successful. The second debate was against Lima Central cn April 30th. Again the boys' team remained at home with the girls going away. At this time the boys debated a boys' team and the girls debated a girls' team Springfield teams again won with a decision of 3 to 0. That the teams were so successful was due to the conscientious coaching of Mr. Kuenzli and Miss Hume. The girls' team in the order in which they spoke was Sophie Salzer, Bonnie Mumford, and Louise Flynn. The rebut- tal was given by Sophie Salzer. The boys' team was composed of Earl Morris, Rich- ard Weinland, and Rudolph Evjen. who spoke in that order. Earl Morris gave the rebuttal for the boys.

A Review of the Football Season 'WPRINGFIELD HIGH opened its football season on Friday, September 18th. The varsity squad was divided into two teams, the Gold and the Blue. The Gold was victorious when they defeated the Blue by a 20-6 score. Remsberg and Patterson starred in this contest. Pete accounted for 8 of the points by a touchdown and two points after the touchdown, while Patterson accounted for the other twelve points by two touchdowns. The first football game on the High School schedule was won on foreign field when Bob Dunton and his teammates defeated Miamisburg, there, on September 26th, by 33-7. Pete Remsberg was the star of the game. Through the wonderful interference of Bill Fry, he was able to make a fifty-yard run around end for a touchdown. The Spring- open a needed hole in the line so that the backs might secure the yards sufficient to make a Hrst down. In the second game of the schedule Springfield High's gridiron warriors bowed to defeat before Columbus West, 6-0, Friday afternoon, October 2d, at South Side Field. The only alibi that could be used by the local boys was a water-soaked field and a heavy downpour of rain. Displaying championship form, the high school eleven defeated Columbus South, 12-10, at South Side Field, Saturday, Oc- tober 10th, in their third game. For once in the history of high school sports the breaks of the game favored our boys when Pettibone of Columbus 104 THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERLAD South punted from behind his goal post and the ball hit the post and bounced back of his own goal. Bill Gram fell on the ball, thus putting High School in the lead. Springfield High again traveled into for- eign quarters and returned home with another victory when they defeated De- fiance High, there, 12-0, on Saturday, Oc- tober 17th. The game was delayed about two hours due to the late arrival of the Springfield team. But when theydid arrive-well, the score tells the rest. The fifth game of the season was fea- tured by a tie score, when Springfield war- riors journeyed to Hamilton, and battled to a 6-6 score on Saturday, October 24th. The work of Pete Remsberg and Ralph Turner was the shining light of the Spring- field team. Q The entire game featured a real punting duel between Turner and Grothwell. Remsberg did the only scoring of this game for high school on a fake play. Belew of Hamilton scored the only points for the opponents. They came-they saw-they were con- quered. On Saturday, October 21st, at South Side Field, the Springfield warriors defeated Cincinnati Hughes 20-0. The Cincinnati team was playing under a new element, mud, and were unable to get started. But our boys were at home in the sea of mud and gave a good account of themselves. The Middletown game, to have been played on Saturday, November 7th, was cancelled because of the poor condition of the field. The coaches of the two teams decided that the danger of injury to the players was too great on such a field. The cancelling of this game saved Mid- dletown from suffering defeat-don't you think? The greatest game of the greatest season, the greatest players of the greatest school, the greatest day of the greatest year oc- curred Saturday, November 14th, in 1925, at Dayton Stivers when Springfleld High School met the Stivers warriors, and after a most interesting and well played game ever witnessed by high school students, went down to defeat by a 3 to 0 score. Every player of the Springfield High squad gave to his school every ounce of energy available. They met the unmatchable, ran the un- runable, rackled the untackleable in this wonderful game. They lost the game by three points- but they proved to us that they had every- thing that any football team could have. Speed-strength-good sportmanship. The last game of the season was played on our home field. The gridiron warriors of Springfield High School defeated Piqua, 19 to 6, on Saturday afternoon, November 21st, at South Side Field. Pete Remsberg, playing his last game for the Gold and Blue, was the shining light of his team. Barber, Patterson and Turner also came through by contributing to the score with 6 points each. This football season ended with seven victories and two defeats. - 106 THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Review of Football--Lettermen Martin Barber, Mart. Mart played half- back and could be depended upon to gain yards whenever called on. This is Mart's second year and he will be lost by graduation this year. Emil Bright, Emil. Emil played guard and tackle. He is not very large, but Oh, Boy! when they came his way they went down. Emil is one of the dignified seniors who will receive a diploma. Elmer Crist, Elm. This was Elm's first year as a regular and he played the game as if he were a veteran. Very few halfbacks went around Elm. although he was one of the smallest men on the team. Robert Cripps, B0b. Bob subbed for guard and tackle and was a real defensive man. He was one who could be depended upon for doing his share of the work. Bob is one of the fortunate sophs to make his letter. Wilbur Davidson, Wib. This was Wib's first year out for football. He was somewhat handi- capped by an injured knee the latter part of the season but he was one who would never give up. Great things are expected of him next year. Robert Dunton, Bob. Bob was the captain this year and led the boys on in real style. This was Bob's third year at center and he was consid- ered one of the best ever turned out at high school. Bob is a 250-pounder. He will be lost by one of the ineligible rules. William Fry, Bill. Bill is captain-elect for next year. Bill played half and full and at his position has shown head work, and with his ability should make a real leader. With Bill at the head of things S.H.S. can look forward to a winner next year. William Gram, Bill. Bill was another one that played his first year. He played tackle and he sure made it hard for the opponents to get through his side of the line. On offence Bill was always there with the goods: he will be back next year. John Lucksinger, Lux. Lux was considered one of the fastest men on the squad. He played half and quarter and showed real skill in running the team. john will not be with us next year as he has withdrawn from school. John Murphy, Johnny. He was one of the dependable ends. He didn't get in many games but when he did he showed plenty of light. He will be back next year. Harland Montgomery, Monty. He was one of the other ends. holding this position in great form .when once given a chance. Monty will be ineligible next year with a few other unfortunate ones. Wilbur Nelson, Mike. Mike was one who practiced faithfully but did not get in many games. Mike did not see much action but he will be re- membered by his fighting spirit. He is another of the unlucky ineligibles for the coming season. John Patton, J0hnny. johnny was a suh at quarter and half. He was the smallest man on the team but he made up for this with his speed. johnny will be lost by graduation. Paul Patterson, Pud. This is Pud's First year. He was sub for half and showed some real ability when sent into the game. He is a sophomore and will be back two more years. Thomas Roberts, Tom. Tom played a tackle and was one of the big boys of the team. He hit the scales at over 200. He could always be depended upon for opening the holes on offence. Tom will be back next year. Jerome Remsberg, Pete. Pete played quar- terback and proved himself a real field general. Pete will be remembered by racing around the opponents' ends. Pete was the high point man of the season. We lose him by the ineligible rule. Ralph Turner, Mutt. Mutt played end and full. This is his second year at the game and he has given a good showing. Mutt is a junior and will be back next year. Elbert Wingert, Wingert. Wingert will be remembered as one of the hardest hitters on the team. He is a sophomore and will be hack two more years. FOOTBALL COACH Coach Taylor is a new member togour coaching staff this year. He was made head football coach. Three years previous to this, Coach Taylor coached football, basketball and track at Fremont, Ohio, coming to S.H.S. with a fine record. Coach Taylor took a lot of green material at the beginning of our football season and developed a real team, only losing two games out of our schedule. He has made a wide circle of friends since he has come to our school. Faculty Manager Cornwell.-By continual efforts and with the greatest of interest for the Springlield High Athletics, Mr. Oliver Cornwell has succeeded in scheduling games with the greatest grid and cage teams in the state. His insterest is now placed on clearing the heavy debt overhanging our Athletic Treasury.

Captain Phenegar, Max- ton, Bauer and Bob Crist came back to school and were declared ineligible by the 8 semester rule. At the mid-year, Mont- gomery, Patton and Remsberg were even declared ineligible by the same rule. A few weeks later Pitzer and N. Smith were declared ineligible on account of grades.

THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 111 Review of Basketball-Lettermen Paul Conn, Paulie. Paulie did not see much action this year, but he is ex- pected to develop into a real running guard. Paulie is a sophomore and will ' be back two more years. Roland Smith, Rolly. Rolly played a forward and had a good eye for the basket. He did not get in many games but great things are expected of him next year. W'ilbur Davidson, Wib. Wib played center. He was handicapped by a bad knee, but he showed real ability while in the game. Wib will be back two more years. William Fry, Bill, Bill was our Captain and led the boys through a hard season- He played center and guard and was the key man on the team. He showed fine generalship as a leader and in re- turn was re-elected Captain for the coming year. Bill was a member of the State Championship team. Forest Wiles, Pooch. This was Po0ch's first year on the team and he held down a forward birth. Pooch was high point man on the team and could be depended upon for his share of the scoring. Pooch will be back next year and will be expected to perform in great style. Ralph Turner, 'lMutt. Mutt played a center and there were very few that he could not out-jump. This was his first year on the team and he showed up well. Mutt will be back next year. Elmer Crist, Elm. Elm played forward and guard. He was a real man on de- fense and you could depend upon him holding his man down to the lowest possible score. He will not be with us next year. Good luck, Elmer. Patil Patterson, Pud. Pud was the pivot man of the team and filled the position in great style. He is a sophomore and has two more years. Pud should de- velop into one of the best pivot men ever turned out at H. S. Coach Matheny has been with us for five years. He came here from Ohio State, where he graduated in 1920. He was a three-letter man at Ohio State, par- ticipating in football, basketball and track. He has been successful in his coaching career at S. H. S. The first four years he coached both basketball and football but last year he coached only the basketball team. VVith the coming of Mr. Taylor he was made director of all athletics, but re- lieved from the field duty of football coaching and given the supervision of the Herald instead. Homer Stevens.-Many a young athlete with a bad shoulder, a sore hip or a dislocated nose has gone to Father Steve for care and sympathy. He can always be found in the locker rooms or at South Side Field, lending a help- ing hand and a kind word to the in- jured. He is another one of the un- lucky Faculty who is burdened with the athletic debt. CHARLES FOX Charley has taken a tenderfoot squad and dc- veloped it into a team which has no equal among the teams of their age. He also aids Coach Taylor with his gridiron activities and Coach Matheny with his basketball squad. Until this year he has always been a member of the Faculty Five. but because of ill health he was unable to participate in the last Faculty game. 7 l'HE SPRINlll Ilil.lD HIGH SCHOOI HPR Girl's Basketball Squad ? wIr' l lont Ro left to rightlf Nlar ld Brow n Bonnie lN1u1nford,Sur.1 Montgonu-ry.

During the first half Pete couldn't get her eye off the basket, ac- counting for 16 out of 18 points while our opponents scored 1. All the subs were given a chanceto show their wares during the next period, with the result that action was slowed up a bit, and the game ended 22-12 in our favor. The second game of the season, Decem- ber 18th, brought S. H. S. up against Plattsburg. This was a slow game, with the scoring machine evidently out of order, showing a final count of 10-2 to our credit. Encouraged by two victories, the girls next faced Enon on December 23d. Fans witnessed a snappier game than the one the previous week. Leaving a precarious 10-7 score at the end of the first half, our sextette came in strong with a 20-13 win, by the final whistle. Yes, those new suits did it! On january 9th we saw our first- real basketball, meeting the Y Buddies, a new team composed entirely of ex-stars of our own S. H. S. teams of the past two years. This game was played on the spacious court at Memorial Hall, and fur- nished the large crowd more than one thrill. Close guarding was the feature of the playing on both sides, showing a low count of 9-8 when the first half was called. The girls came back with grim determina- tion, and after 15 minutes more of activity came through with an 18-15 victory, their fourth straight. After a two-weeks rest while the boys travelled to Stivers, the team took on our old foe, Catawba. Uut to settle up a tie and a defeat handed them by these friends last season, the Springfield girls put up a hard fight. With no eye at all for the basket during the first half, the outcome was dubious, but when it was all over another win was recorded: this time 11-8. Next came Lawrenceville with a fast team centering around Mitchell who nearly won the game for them on fouls, dropping eight out of ten. In this game S. H. was greatly helped by Becker, from VVittenberg Academy, whose stay with us was short, but who accounted for 10 out of our 13 points in this contest, while the opponents found the basket for only one field goal, leaving the score 13-10 in favor of S. H. S. Lady Luck turned the tables when S. H. S. met their last outside team- Yellow Springs-on February 12th. The squad was crippled by five ineligibles, in- cluding Dot Harris, Captain, who was afiected by the nine-semester rule. Never- theless, the team went on the floor and held its opponents to a 6-all tie during the first period. The game remained a toss-up until the final minutes of play, when Hughes of Yellow Springs took a spurt dropping in three in quick succession, giv- ing them a lead which our girls were unable to surpass. Final score was 11-15 in favor of Yellow Springs. The interscholastic season of 7 games ended with 6 wins and 1 loss. Plans for next year give a fair nucleus of 3 lettergirls besides 5 other members of this year's squad to answer the call, with plenty of good material from the class teams. THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 115 Review of Letter Girls Sara Montgomery, Monty, guard. This was Sara's second year on the varsity, showing up very well at guard. You could always depend on Sara keeping the ball from the forwards and for her everlasting courage. We will miss her when she graduates this year. Dorothy Harris, Dot, guard. Our cap- tain was the only girl to receive her letter last year. She played a steady game at guard. The success of the sea- son was due in large measure to Dot' splendid leadership and spirit. We'l miss you next year. Good Luck. Ruth Richison, Rosalie, forward. This is Ruth's first year on the varsity Never before had she been given the chance to give an account of herself, but when she was given a chance, she showed up wonderful. We also lose her by graduation. Norma McCartney, Pete, forward. This was Pete's first year on the varsity. She was high scorer of the year and whenever the team was in danger, you could always call on Pete to help out. Pete will be with us next year and we expect great things from her. Let's go, Pete. Helen Ulen, Billie, forward. Helen is only a sophomore but always gave a good account of herself. She played forward and will be a valuable 'asset to next year's team. Keep up the fight, Helen! jane McKee.-Another veteran who leaves us by the diploma route. Playing a heady game at either center, her pass with the forwards kept the ball in the home territory much of the time. After two years on the squad, jane will be missed next year. Bonnie Mumford.-Bonnie had a difficult job, stepping into Dot Harris's place. the second semester, but she worked hard and truly, earned her letter bythe end of the season. Keep up the good work, Bonnie: we wish you didn't have to graduate. Anna Burgoyne.-Anna finished her second year as a regular and will be with us for another semester. Though she was the hard luck girl of the squad, jammed fingers and other injuries didn't keep Anna out of the game for long, and her height showed up well at either position of center. Miss Garland is a graduate of Oberlin Col- lege, Class of 1924. Coach came to Springfield two years ago after com- pleting her work in college. Miss Gar- land has completed her second success- ful year here, and much praise should be given her for her splendid work in developing our girls' basketball team. ffffrw . 116 THE SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HER-XLD sf.. ff W .. . .

That season not a game was lost and this year a record almost equally as good was made, for only three games were lost out of nineteen played. The squad is a member of the junior High School League and this year played thru the schedule without the loss of a game. Nine games were played outside the league and only three were lost and those by small scores. The second squad is distinct from the varsity, having different practice hours. This gives a larger number of boys a chance to play basketball under good coaching. Ability alone is not the requisite for being given a chance on this squad. But a de- sire to have fundamental basketball. passing, shoot- ing, dribbling and pivoting. without any direct compensation is what is wanted. The squad serves as a feeder for the varsity and several of the fellows moved up to the varsity squad during the season. Next year we hope for better results, not more games won but more basketball learned. Our diffi- culty this year was in finding the right sort of com- petition. The plan is to play better teams, either teams from small high schools or second teams from the high schools with which we have varsity games scheduled. All the members of the squad are to be highly commended for this work this year. No recogni- tion, no monograms, no cups were given-nothing except the chance to take the first step towards a varsity suit and the chance to represent Springfield High on the basketball court. 1 'iT5Y'fnf hl?Y't'l ' Tlili SPRINtiFlEl.lJ liltil-l SCHOOL llliR.-Xl.lJ 117 Above are the winners of the plaques of the 1026 Spring Football tournament: left to rightl VVi1liam Fry, winner of the plaque for lettermen: Harry Dawson, winner of plaque for non-lettermen: Bob Gnf-th, winner of second pl we plaque for non-lettermen.
