Russian armies were backing into the great ex- panse beyond the Kneiper. Moscow seemed doomed. Stalingrad was yet to be. Hitler was crushing the Red Army. Great armadas of Nazi bombers were pulverizing London night after night. In the East, Tojo was extending his sphere of influence with bomb and bayonet over helpless China. Christian civilization seemed doomed. Under a flat gray sky in the North Atlantic two men met and gave hope to an anxious and subjugated world. Proclaimed President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill . . . Our own objectives are clear, the objective of smashing the militarism imposed by war lords upon their enslaved peoples . . . the objective of liberating the sub- jugated nations . . . the objective of establishing and secur- ing freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want and freedom from fear anywhere in the world. This, the Atlantic Charter, electrified mankind with a resolute hope for a new world. fl, N f ' Q2 if i. Ivy : .qJ-hx.

The antics of a basket of pups, the anguish of a sixteen year old jilted lover, six year olds and their lemonade stand, the Easter parade and those things called hats, the anemic old postmaster in his rustic post office borrowing a Lovers' Magazine . . . all have labeled Norman Rockwell as the artist of and for the common man. When the Four Freedoms were flashed to the world, great editors realized the need for dramatic paintings to bring home these truths to all the people. Norman Rockwell was the artist who could most effectively dramatize this new political philosophy. Sponsored by the Saturday Evening Post, he gave the Four Freedoms visual interpretation. His models were his neighbors. His critics were his neigh- bors. In fact the plain, simple folk who lived around him did the four great paintings. Norman Rockwell merely mixed the colors, wielded the brush, worried and suffered. ff Democracy is on the march. No play or light moments for us after school. Seventy per cent of us rush to war plants, to stores at the close of the school day. Without fanfare our friends entel the armed services. Our class work, our thinking has been keyed to the new life and hope of the Four Freedoms. We, who edit and publish the yearbook, keep before us con- stantly the dramatization of the Four Freedoms. We live and express this philosophy here in our own little world at Springfield High School. To the world at large Norman Rockwell gave visual in- terpretation to this thought. This, the 1944 volume of the Wildcat, is our own expression of the Four Freedoms.

PUBLISHED BY THE YEARBOOK STAFF OF THE DEPARTMENT OF JOURNALISM, SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. We Wow 7aZLg4oZd7omafnoaa of 5 ' K Should Eighteen Year-olds Be Drafted? True it was just a routine high school debate. But the J aps were butchering Chinese over an incident. Nazi hordes had erased Poland, swept over France, had subjugated the Low Countries. A tall dark haired lad took the floor. Serious faced boys and girls fiercely argued the question. They looked into the past, they prophesied the future. They raved about Eng- land's imperialism, Germany's ruthless ambitions, America's lethargic foreign policy. It was the right of the American boy and girl to reason, to think, to express himself. But reality, necessity swept over America. Eighteen year olds were drafted. High school debators prepared to fight for Freedom of Speech. They're not boys any longer . . . these kids who used to invade the corner drug store after school. They're men in uniform now. These youngsters who not so long ago shouted in debate to their classmates, Youth must share the responsibility! are in fox holes, a hospital, a distant sky. They are fighting for Freedom of Speech. 7000602 The kid we used to yell for last football season is eighteen . . . remember him? Easy going, carefree, al- ways whistling off key. Of course you remember him. He used to bluff his way through English, laugh at a tough math problem, drive a rattle trap car through town with his noisy gang hanging all over it. Now, he remembers those football games, those chocolate sodas, home and Mom and Dad . . . the huge yellow brick high school building. Now it's mud, hunger, filth, wrecked bodies, the screams of the dying. He's always on the alert. To be carefree is to invite a bullet or a bayonet. And for what cause, what future? That boys and girls all over the world may live as carefree as he once did . . . safe, secure, free from the fear of future devastating war. . . , 7464. 7oa, We 'mm 704011 There was a big dinner party once. There were l a lot of dinner parties then. That was two years ago. After the dinner there was a big dance. That was im- portant too. After dinner some one picked up a newspaper. It carried a horrible picture of boys and girls who were starving to death. There was a war across the ocean. The dinner party went to the dance. It was a gay affair. ' There have been other dinner parties . . . Empty chairs . . . less laughter . . . more thoughtful conversation. Americans have tightened their belts, rationed themselves to bare necessities in order to feed a hungry world. And lusty young high school lads who once wore dinner jackets are now munching on army rations out of tin cans as they fight for the right of all human beings to be free from want. During the dark days that followed Pearl Har- bor, America learned to pray again . . . for her sons had gone to war. America's sons--our sons, brothers, and fathers, are on many shores. Separation-silence- the uncertainty of not knowing has caused us all some anxious hours. We have turned to Him in our time of need, for in Him we find strength to go on-on to the victory that will bring our loved ones home and peace to all nations. Our boys, too, remember the church back home and all that it stands for. He remembers Confirmation, his first Com- munion, choir practice, and how proud Mon and Dad were. Yes, America and all nations have turned to God to ask His help in bringing peace. Many freedom-loving nations have lost all they treasured and held dear, but still they go on believing in God and that right will again prevail bringing freedom of worship to all. ?'WWf0m Of - - - ff 7w!q filmeziccw Vdeaf zh if .44 .3 C'4 . fx gf-A T ' A ,if - f in W . was Q gig f 1' 4 I 1 X .

Teachers of SHS are teaching the students-the citizens of tomorrow-how to carry on and uphold the ideals which are being fought for today. They are paving the way to a new and better method of education which even now is being started in the governments G.I. training system. Realizing that what is now learned in an entire high school education may be learned in a period of months- or even weeks- the faculty is giving its tireless efforts to bring about this goal of better education.

Government assures Freedom from Fear, Freedom from Want, Freedom of Speech, and Freedom of Religion too its citizens, so the Board of Education assures the student body of the same freedoms. Through the Board of Education the executives, the teachers, and the students of Springfield High School are kept closely associated so that they can cooperate efficiently. The president of the Board of Education is Mr. Urban Hidy, the owner of a motor car business. M1-. Mark A. Snyder, a local music instructor, serves as vice president. Other members of the board are Mr. E. E. F orrer, an employee of the Crowell-Collier Publishing Company, Mr. Holmes Collins, a distributor of soft drinks, and Mrs. Pearl Wilkerson, a house wife, who was appointed to fill the vacancy left by the death of Mrs. Nettie Fay. Mrs. Fay died on January 19 after having served faithfully on the board for nine years. DL O O SPRlNGFlELD,OHlO . .1944 PRINCIPAL C. L. Fox Quite as the fighting forces themselves, the school executive must sort the contradictions, eliminate the unessential, work with his staff toward a greater effectiveness in the classroom and greater pointing toward the future demands. Regimentation must fall by the Way in order that the individual child may glean what will be most valuable to him in the confused pattern of life's present living. This has been the task of Prin. C. L. Fox and to it he has given invincible courage and untiring energy. Springfield High School today stands high among the schools of the United States which are being checked by the demands of the times and students. SUPERINTENDENT HOMER L. STEVENS The task of the superintendent of schools in these years of continued War strain becomes heavier. The constantly changing enrollment due to influx of War workers, the withdrawal of students for work and for the armed service, the lessening of parental supervision, the inevitable increase of school dis- cipline and control, the varying supply and demand in the teaching force, together with a multiple of calls for his own service upon boards and com- mittees of civic and federal Work, all combine to make exacting demands. Supterintendent Homer L. Stevens has proved himself equal to all the pro- blems that have arisen. 41644 ' Miss Christine Hume Mr. Boyd B.

Such sounds falling upon one's ears While strolling through the halls would make him believe that he is living in the days of the mighty Elizabeth. But such classical murmurs pervading the air are merely the utterings of some student exploring the cavernous depths of English literature. The English instructors believe that any great play should not be just read but should be acted to accomplish the supreme effect. Therefore, from the pens of the great masters of prose and verse, English students of Springfield High are able to move in the realms of imagination, and, at the same time, master the art of logic. ur...

Despite foul smelling mixtures produced in this laboratory, future scientists of America are learning the principles of chemistry. Amid batteries, ispectroscopes, and magnets are boys and girls of SHS learning physics facts and formulas. In the biology lab are students examining model ears and eyes, or studying bacteria with mic- roscopes. Congruent triangles, tangents, chords, and arcs-all these are seen on the blackboards in the rooms where geometry, the sophomore's nightmare, is taught. The Algebra student struggle to solve equations that stretch all around the blackboard. A maze of dots and dashes come from the rooms Where aeronautics stu- dents are attempting to gain proficiency in taking Morse Code. 'The teachers of the math department straighten out all these difficulties, so SHS girls and boys are able to take their place in mathe- matical positions. Z ff! ?za7Za!a 7oz 1-fem? ,461 SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCH4 The Air Service Command of Patterson Field sent their rep- resentative to Springfield High School in March 1943, to present the possibility of installing vari-typing in this school. The commercial department accepted the offer and Springfield High School became the first and only high school in the United States to have a course in vari-typing. Thirty-five students worked at SHS last summer for ten Weeks on a project for the Air Service Command. At the end of this time they were transferred as a unit to the Air Service Command at Patterson Field. In January 194-4, twenty students graduated from this class and at least seventeen were recommended for positions at the Field, Another class will graduate in June 1944 from this course. Students enjoy this activity and there is a promise of larger classes to come. This course teaches not only vari-typing, but also editing, proof-reading, page and paste up, layout, and art Work. Vari- typing will be a help in post-War days because many busi- nesses will find it advantageous to use this machine instead of typewriters for various kinds of work. SPRINGFIELD, OHIO . .1944 Click, clack, click, is the sound that has issued from the typing rooms since the begining of Springfield High. Today the pace is more furious because the teachers must turn out many typists of the highest quality for the war effort in a minimum space of time. In order to turn out these typists, both the teachers and the students are giving their utmost to their respective jobs. Because of the cooperation between these, the time is drawing nearer when the work of the Four Freedoms will be realized. Miss Rachel Stewart Mr. Harold Eglinger Miss Mildred Bennett Mr. R. E.

The music department offers a field of great variety in ex- pression through the choir, the orchestra, band, and special ensembles. The home econ- omics department plays an important part in teaching many girls the scientific art of housekeeping. Art classes give students the opportunity to express their own natural abilities. Although there are many students who do not know where the print shop is, the entire school system de- pends upon this most im- portant cog in the wheel of school life. he Y-N ' 3 U L Y 744 aeea in lie Zcmfewz' gaudy How about a ride down town?

When selected, outstanding traits of scholarship, leadership, and character are carefully considered by the elective body. Not just one, but a combination of the three is taken into View by the students, therefore assuring themselves of a multiple personality to lead them and to advise them in their school activities. No one person could ever hope to obtain any greater honor than that accorded these officers. In spite of a war torn year, full of multiple sorrows, worries, and the like, they have carried out their duties fully and efficiently. 1944 class officers: Willian Acton, January vice presidentg Herbert King, January presidentg Betty Lesher, January treasurer, James Ken- nedy, June presidentg Joan Grube, June treas- urerg Philip West, June vice presidentg Joanne Ball, January secretaryg Vivian Salisbury, June secretary. ..

Other phrases such as L'Play rehearsal tonighti' and Quartet practice in 312 show that extra activities in dramatics and music are under way. National Forensic League banquets, state music contests, and parties comprise extra-curricular good times, that make SHS a place of pleasant memories.

They go hand in hand. The greatest honor awarded to a student of SHS is being tapped for membership in the National Honor Society. To be a member, a candidate must be a senior, must be in the upper 15 per cent of his class, and be active in two or more extra-curricular activities. Candidates are rated by the faculty on character, scholarship, leadership, and service. Under the able leadership of a committe of Miss Anne Haeseler, Mrs. Nina Marie Ladd, Mr. Clarence Smith, and Mrs. Thelma Simendinger with Prin. C. L.

America-a nation where democracy is demonstrated in every Walk of life, in business, in society, and in the schools. America-a democracy where all have a voice in the government. Guiding the activities of SHS is a government made up of students, chosen by the students, from the students. These representatives are presidents and vice presidents of their respective home rooms and form three student councils: Sophomore Boys', Junior-Senior Boys', and Girls' Councils. From these councils are elected those who form the Executive Board of Student Council, and it is this board that meets with Prin. C. L. Fox and presents the different problems brought up in their respective councils. The officers of Executive Board are elected each year by the vote of the student body.

The treble of flutes, the growl of the bass viol, the tinkle of the piano, the mellow notes of the Violin, the blaring of the brass section, a general run of a scale, and the sounding of A announce to all those familiar with the orchestra of Springfield High School that music is forthcoming. The first annual concert of the orchestra was pre- sented on March 5, 1944, under the direction of Mr. Richard J. Stocker, the conductor. Several alumni took part, adding a new note to the annual theme. Last year's concert was under the direction of Mr. Harvey Freeman, who, because of ill health, is teaching only at Hayward Junior High School.

The orchestra is run on an organizational, but friendly basis. Barbara Bryant is the student conductor, having made her first appearance in the annual concert. The concert given for the student body was pre- sented in a double assembly. Besides giving their own concerts, the orchestra entered a competitive festival in May and has pro- vided the music for Civic Theater plays, assemblies, and various other civic clubs.

You bet they are. Those four sounds signify the choir. Yes, the choir of Springfield High School. It is this choir that helps in assemblies, does outside singing for clubs and churches, and, of course, gives concerts, which are familiar to all of us. Students of SHS found out what this choir could do at the Easter Assembly. It is the first time in the history of the choir that it has ever sung from the balcony. This just goes to show, that, no matter where they sing, under what circumstances, or in what sort of program, this choir can make people sit up and take notice.

In the past years the choir has made a splendid record in every contest it has entered. After this war it is the hope of the students and the faculty that they can go on making these splendid records. Students who participate in the choir are given a chance to take part in many productions of the school. A favorable example of this is the partici- pation of a selected group in the big spring musical show, TailWind Follies. The whole choir pre- sented to the public its annual fall concert, and also the annual spring concert in form of a musical festival. Semi-classics, hymns, and modern-classics are all sung by the SHS Choir. 3 5 if i Choir members are Dillahunt, Gib- ler, A. Hunter, Jenkins, J.

The Public School News Class has charge of this enterprise and the members of this group gather news from clubs, assemblies, teachers, etc. This column has been a great help in keeping the public informed of the activities at Springfield High School. Original writing is given vent through the Creative Writing class under the direction of Miss May Fay. Through this class the students learn the essential rules needed in writing and then apply them in original Writing. Plays, poetry, short stories, feature stories, and critical writing are the fruits of their work. A scheduled activity of this class is publishing and the editing of the Mentor, a student magazine published twice a year. The staff edits the work submitted by English students in the school, and their own material also may find its way into the Mentor. This publication, like all other publications in the school, is looked forward to with eagerness by the SHS students. p Whenever certain seniors are seen rushing through the halls of SHS looking for rare news or gossip, you will probably recognize them as members of Mr. Oliver Matheny's Journalism II class. This class publishes The Herald, the school paper that comes out fourteen times a year. This year, for the first time in the history of the paper, girls have been chosen editors of the sport page. Jeanne Perrine and Joyce Patterson are tops for this job. The Herald is a member of the National Scholastic and the Columbia Schol- astic Press Association.

Unlike most high school yearbooks, the Springfield High Wildcat is compiled by a group of students selected by a committee of faculty members. Rather than meet before or after school, a daily class period is set aside, when the staff, which is made up of seniors and a faculty supervisor, Mr. Oliver Matheny, meet to discuss and work on the school's yearbook. In addition to employing an experienced photographer, the staff engages a stu- dent camera Clicker to help decorate the pages of the Wildcat. The Wildcat yearbook is truly a stu- dent publication, Written by an organized group and from the students' point of view. 1943-4 Yearbook Class: Cforegroundb Nancy Twitchell, Sue Shafer, Jim Kennedy, Doris Van Oss, Jeanne Perrineg Cbackgroundj Miriam Lau- ver, Jack Keller, Zo-Anne Hayes, Patricia Allen, Clarice Merideth, Jo Anne Grube, Mary Lou Rein- heimer and Fleta Capper.

In Mr. Donovan Pearson's Dramatic Arts classes, the students have done such fascinating work as giving selections at various times on the tVVe Are Americans program on Springfield's station WIZE. Dottie Barbee gave an oration on delinquent children, while Vivian Salisbury presented a humorous de- clamation. On one occasion Ardyth Mitchell gave the dra- matic declamation 'Thirty Pieces of Silverf' and later Charles Kellogg delivered an oration on the subject of racial differ- ences. The well known speaker, Gus Keymas, acted the part of Abraham Lincoln in a selection given by a special group of Dramatic Arts students. In the skit, Keymas presented the famous L'Gettysburg Address and the supporting group gave Oh Captain! My Captain! SWSMDM ' Mr. Eugene Hoak, now Ensign in the U. S. Navy, is gone from Springfield High School's dramatics. He has gone to fight to preserve the Four Freedoms. The wonderful work which he has put out will again be possible when, at the close of the war, he returns. Before he left suddenly last June, he had set a pre- cedent that was hard to beat, however, Mr. Donovan Pearson stepped in and took over. Mr. Pearson has given it everything he has and has come out on top. Although two men's work was shifted to one man's shoulders, the plays have the high quality and show the superior acting that SHS plays are noted for.

Their Christmas Prom was a complete success, and many new friends were made at the Valentine Party. St. Patrick's Day was remembered with a party. The club has had many speakers, among which were Prin. C. L. Fox. Besides all these activities they have had time to organize a choir in collaboration with the Clark Street Friendship Club. Clark Street Friendship Club is a well-known organization among many of the students of Springfield High School. It is also an active club, having sung at many church meetings and having formed a choir with Center St. Hi-Y. The Club has given teas for the mothers of the members, and each meeting is different and interesting. Barbara Hahn was the captain of the girls' bowling league which had a membership of thirty girls this year.

It was nip and tuck in the third, but Leftguard Robert Schmidt broke through to block a punt by Gilmore of West, recovering the ball over the goal for a touchdown, chalking up a score of 13 to 0. Corbin snagged a pass from King in the third and departed down the field for a 27 yard line gain before being thwarted. A pass to Hiles by King ended on the Columbus eight from where Corbin dashed around left end for the tally, leaving King to score the extra point, making it a 20 to 2 victory for the Wildcats. Scoring in every period, the Gold and Blue turned on the pressure, trampling Dayton Roosevelt, 31 to 6, in the second tilt of the grid season at Evans Stadium on September 24.

I944 de Au!! 4,4 WWW Despite the fact that the Gold and Blue boys were in there driving, the Wildcats received their only trouncing of the season from Protsmouth, Oct. 1, 1943, on the Trojan's home field-beaten by a close margin of 7 to 6. Touchdowns were scored by both teams in the second quarter, with the Trojans place-kicking the extra point. Corbin of Springfield, starting from the Portsmouth 43-yard line, darted around right end and down the field for a gain of 21 yards to the Trojan 22-yard line. Corbin proceeded in the next play as far as the 16-yard line but fumbled, and Portsmouth recovered. Here the Trojans went into action. In the next three plays Monk covered territory and finally ploughed through for the touchdown, and place-kicked the extra point. Winkhouse, Corbin, and King combined to score Springfield's only touch- down, going over to climax a drive from the Wildcat 25-yard marker. As the contest ended Springfield had made ll first downs to Portsmouth's 10. Springfield High's football eleven defeated a previously un- beaten Lima Central team, 12 to 6, Oct. 8, 1943, at Evans Stadium for the Cats' third victory of the season. Striking back hard after Lima scored early in the second period, the Wildcats drove 63 yards for their first touchdown which came with one minute left to play in the first half. Shortly after the third quarter started, Springfield High marched 94 yards for its second and final touchdown. Spring- field's first six-pointer was scored on a beautiful 34-yard pass from Herbie King to Dick Corbin and the second also came on an aerial, a 32-yard toss from Clarence Yancey to Johnny Hiles. The Wildcats registered 12 first downs to three for Lima Central and outplayed the visitors in every department.

The contest was played Oct. 15 on the foe's home field. Battling under a steady downpour of rain, the Cats threatened in every quarter. The soggy field making playing difficult, the mudbespattered Gold and Blue outfit played a good aerial contest, advancing to the one foot line in the final quarter. However, after a wild pass and an attempted quarterback sneak, the Wildcat gridders were unable to score before the sounding of the final gun. This was Springfield's second and final game away from home. Turning in one of their best performances of the season, the Springfield High Wildcats rolled over a previously undefeated Hamilton High football eleven, 19 to 0 on Oct. 22 under the lights at Evans Stadium. Although Hamilton had a pervious record of four victories and no defeats, they were not in the same class with the Wildcats, who literally blasted the Big Blue off the field. In the one- sided contest, the Cat linesmen were fairly invincible. The SHS backfield turned in an outstanding performance. The Wildcats scored in each of the last three quarters, the touchdowns being made by Herbie King, Doug Rockhold, and George Winkhouse. In the closing minutes of the game, Coach Morgan Jones sub- stituted freely, but still Hamilton was unable to penetrate Springfield's strong forward wall. This was the Gold and Blue's fourth victory in six games, the SHS gridders having won three, lost one, and tied one in three tilts previous to the Hamilton clash. 3 5 V ' 4 U 3 T ra Q 1 If get F is -W Q 'X 2 2 EQ Versatile center, Jim Walsh, boots one down the field! i . , tw ' . ,.. . . SPRINGFIELD, OHIO . . I944 wwf 7fW4 W 'Www The Springfield High Wildcats racked up their fifth victory of the season on Oct. 29 at Evans Stadium. On four straight plays, fullback Herbie King ran the opening kick-off over for the first tally before the Middies could bolster their ranks. The second touchdown came just as suddenly as the first when speedy Doug Rockhold snared a Middletown aerial and raced sixty-five yards to score. During the next three quarters the Middies threatened the contest by taking a superior number of first downs, by ex- cellent passing, and by good tough fighting. But SHS Cats outbattled their foes to win. Springfield Highs' Wildcats were beaten by a tough Middletown team in every department but two-scoring and fight. Although they were topped in passing, rushing, and first downs, the Gold and Blue warriors struck with timely fury in the early stages of the game to win. The Wildcats climaxed a definitely successful season by de- feating Dayton Stivers, 27 to 0, on home territory on Nov. 12. They also set a new record by winning all six games played at Evans Stadium. The Cats had little trouble with the Dayton outfit, scoring almost at will. The Stivers team fought valiantly at the end of the first half as the score was only 6 to 0. The touchdown was scored on a Corbin-to-Wolverton pass. In the last half Springfield scored on a pass from King to Corbin in the third period. In the last quarter a King-to-Hiles pass was good for another touchdown. Hiles, a lineman, at this time made a forty-five yard jaunt which was impressive to watch. The final touchdown came when Captain George Winkhouse in- tercepted a pass and ran sixty yards for the score. This game ended a glorious season.

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO . . I944 Wide! Su cum Springfield High's basketball team had one of its most suc- cessful seasons in 1943-44. The faculty was proved again to be an easy mark and the VVildcat cagers, sparked by Rockhold and Chaney, romped to a decisive victory. In their first real competition on Dec. 3, the Gold and Blue was victorious in downing Columbus Central, 32-27. Roickhold kept fans roaring all through this nip and tuck game with his sensational shots from difficult angles. Columbus West proved an easy victim for the Wildcats as they defeated West, 35 to 18, on Dec. 10. With the combined high-scoring efforts of Doug Rockhold, Jack Archer, and Dick Chaney, the Wildcat hoop- sters defeated a flashy Dayton Roosevelt quintet Dec. 17 on the foe's home court by a score of 46-40. The first defeat of the season was suffered by the Cats at the hands of the accurate-shooting Monroe team. Although the SHS cagers fought valiantly, they came out on the short end of a 39-27 score. However, on Dec. 28 SHS again broke into the winning column as the cagers trounced Dayton Wilbur Wright, 39-30. Guard Rockhold again was high point man with center Archer close on his heels. In the second away game of the season, on Dec. 30, SHS Wildcats brought home the bacon in the form of a 44-39 victory over a stubborn Lima Central five. Although the Cats held a one-point advantage, they put on a final scoring blast to win decisively. In a traditional tilt SHS retained top place in the Greater Ohio Basketball League by defeating Middletown, 40-32. Doug Rockhold made 13 of the 40 points. Staging a story book finish, Springfield's basketeers pulled a thriller out of the fire and edged Dayton Stivers, 50-49, in an overtime contest at Tiffany Gym Jan. 15. However, this victory was overshadowed by the loss of a hard fought game to Mansfield Jan. 18. But the closely fought contest which ended with SHS on the under side of a 34-32 score was not a league tilt-thus leaving Springfield with unblemisheld possession of the top rung. This position was maintained by the cagers' defeat of Portsmouth, 41-31, on Jan. 21. Jack Archer led the scorers with Rockhold trailing close behind. Roaring into action in the second half, Springfield High blasted Lima South with a 42-21 victory on Jan. 28 in Tiffany Gymnasium. The following week Portsmouth again met defeat at the hands of the Cats, as the quintet downed them 39-23. This was the sixth straight triumph for SHS in league competition. However, one crucial game which was to decide the league championship was lost to Middletown by the score of 37-16. But the following week the Cats came back to wind up a suc- cessful season by defeating Dayton Parker Co-op, 35-32. Doug Rockhold was the sparkplug of the season and altogether garnered 165 points. Dick Chaney was runner-up in scoring honors with 122 points. Coach John Remsberg 1945-44 awww game., Springfield 32. Springfield 35 .......... Springfield 46 .........

Have you a picture planned for a funeral home? These are some of the endless questions that have haunted the yearbook student in charge of each advertisement--but that was only the beginning. After the idea became tangent the picture was taken and this entailed a study of students to select just the right one for the advertisment in question. Then SHS camerman, Jim Whitlow, was called in and a suitable picture was taken. Copy to fit the picture was written after much thought by the yearbook student in charge of the advertisement. If the advertiser did not approve of the picture and the copy, it was rearranged to suit him and then submitted again. In 98 per cent of the cases, the advertiser not only took the advertisement, but praised the class for its effort in advertising. In 1704 the Boston News Letter carried the first advertisement in the United States, the business card style--such as, John Jones, Staple and Fancy Groceries, with the address. Psychology was introduced to advertising in 1850 in patent medicine advertisements. The reader of the latter kind of advertisements was made to believe he had all manner of ills, but he also was led to believe through this psychology that his several ills could be cured or remedied with the use of certain medicine that he read about in the newspapers. Use of psychology, the power of suggestion, helped advertising grow into big business. Psychology has come into prominence for the first time in the 1944 Wildcat yearbook advertising. Advertisers in Springfield this year were not so interested in ,selling mer- chandise in their advertisements as they were to sell good will. All the advertisements in this section were possible because of cooperation received from Springfield merchants. The class was able to present to the readers the first of a series of new advertisements, new to the Wildcat readers as a result of their interest in Springfield High School. This is the first time the same care has been taken in the layout and writing of advertisements as in the remainder of the book. The Wildcat has grown from a small paper bound edition to a leather bound book of precious school memories. Along with the book, advertising has kept pace and has finally stepped into its own this year. Never again will Wildcat readers see the business card style of advertisement in the SHS annual. Dramatization has come and is here to stay. War! And with war a stepping-up of industry-hard work-earnest desire of all to back up the youngsters on the battle fields. All industry has backed up the fighting forces by keeping in line with ceiling prices and by buying War Bonds and Stamps regularly. Springfield merchants have gone all-out for 3victo1'y.
