ENGLISH CLUB ENIQYS PLAYS Students Study Foreign literature i The English Club is one of the larger clubs of Springfield High. With an enrollment of approxi- mately seventy, they have many interesting pro- grams. Some of these are declamations by mem- bers of the club and others are outside speakers such as Mr. Eugene Hoak, returning speech teacher, and Professor Engerrand, a professor of language at Wittenberg College. The officers are: president, Phil Keppleg Vice president, Justine Carlsong secre- tary, Barbara Eueringg treasurer, Jane Hopkins. The English Club also studies American and English litearture.

Travel, new friends, adventure, all these are found through English. LITERATURE CLUB LEARNS ABOUT GERMANY Music, Movies, and Guest Speakers Highlight Meeting of German Group Among the favorite serenades in the German lang- guage is Du, du liegst mir im Herzenf' which trans- lated means, You, You Lie in My Heart, This is one of many songs sung by the German Club when they present musical entertainment. Other meet- ings consist of movies on Germany and guest speakers. Both are very interesting and furnish excellent information on the German way of life. One of the most interesting accounts of Germany was given by Franz Benjamin, a student at SHS, who formerly had lived in Germany. He told the students about their school system and pointed out some of the disadvantages that a poor boy has in gaining an education. Other information about the geography of the country and his trip to America was very interesting also, and was followed by num- erous questions from the members of the club. On another occasion Mr. Elmer Leffel presented his magic art and succeeded in baffling the students, especially two boys who were securely bound to- gether when they tried to escape his rope trick. To end the year the German Club will have a big outdoor picnic party, probably at Snyder Park, where all sorts of games will be played. During the past year the club has offered an op- portunity for the students in the different classes to become acquainted and get a better understand- ing of the language they are studying. German Club Action: Gene Durmnt, Paul Aldrich, Minton Brees, Marguerite Elliot, Nancy - Lewis, Mary Ellen Ramsay, Curtis Gibson, and Donald Neff.

Do you know what it is like to adopt a child? Maybe you don't, but sixty- three Springfield High students do! These students are members of Le Cercle Francais, the French Club, who have made a Hpackage adoption of a seventeen year old French girl named Madeleine Abeille. Two packages, containing food, cloth- ing, and little nicknacks, go each month from the French Club to Madeleine. This intensely interesting project is not only educational to both parties but also immensely helpful to a girl in a country where food and clothing are pitifully scarce. The French Club offers to its members, enrichment and recreation in French. The large picture on this page is an excellent example of how the French Club makes the classroom studies live in vivid and exciting action. For in- stance, in class, students study about Paris and famous Parisian couturiers such as Lucien Lelong. With various scenes, such as the one pictured on this page, the French Club has enhanced the ordinary conception of French life. Under the capable direction of Mrs. -..sal 98 Eg..- Nina Ladd, the club has prospered and now is one of the foremost clubs in SHS. The active executive body for this year is as follows: Jeanne Thacker, president, Carolyn Edwards, vice-presi- dentg Judy Howell, secretary, Jane Hopkins, treasurer. The membership of the French Club is sixty-three and there is almost a one- hundred per cent attendance at all meetings. To start out the year, the club had a Wiener roast at Snyder Park. Other meetings featured games, singing, and original plays written in French by the students. At the annual Christmas meeting the initiation of new members takes place. Also, the French Club has each year one outside speaker and a French movie. French Club Group .wld if 4 1 l 1 ,l 1 tw l. r l li 4 J. I 1.

With Miss Ruth Fitz as advisor, and Miss Dorothy Kraut- water, and Mr. Clarence Smith as co- advisors, the club has had excellent direction. Elizabeth Raup presided as president and conducted the regular Latin Club Action: Robert Renner, Richard Shank, Gene Eakins, Damon Kaufman, Paul Peck, Randolph Deer, George Getz, Phillip Hanes, Ann Mellinger, Elizabeth Raup, Delores Sheets, Joanne Sallee, Virginia Phillips. monthly meetings of the club. This club carried out its purpose of giving background and entertainment to its members by a variety of inter- esting programs. At an early meeting slides relating to the life of Virgil and showing ancient buildings, Roman Latin Club Group dress, customs and furniture were pre- sented. Interesting and informative talks were given on the life of Virgil and a detailed account of the plot of The Aeneid, Virgil's great work. At another meeting stories about early Roman times dealing with the tales of the mythological Gods and their duties were told. At Christmas time, the club members witnessed the ceremony of the lighting of the Saturnial Candles. There was also a discussion of the Ro- man Christmas Customs and festive refreshments were served. In February, in keeping with the spirit of Saint Valentines Day, the members exchanged valentine cards which they had made and which contained verses written in Latin. The love stories of the mythological characters, Cupid and Psyche, Pyramus and Thisbe and Orph- eus and Eurydice were also related to the club members. Through programs of this type, the members were both amused and educated. 99 ie- TUDENT 'l'El.l. OF CULCMBIA Traveler Shows Spanish Club Movies of South America Many students at Springfield High School, seeing a bright future in South America, are studying Span- ish. The Spanish Club was formed because stu- dents wanted to know mo1'e about South America and Spain than the language. Frequently guest speakers address the club and relate the life and customs of a certain country. Included in the clubs various activities are the singing of Spanish songs and the playing of Spanish gamesg the members enjoyed particularly group singing led by Arthur Clarke. Barbara Barth and Natalie Clark enter- tained the club at Christmas time with several Spanish songs, and refreshments were served in the cafeteria. Afterwards, Thomas Fails was victorious in a Question and Answer program. By a process of elimination he defeated all Challengers and ran off with the prize of war stamps. Senror Bernardo Trujillo, a student at Wittenberg College, told about activities in his native country, Columbia. Mrs. A. C. Link showed the club motion pictures of her trip on the Columbus around South America. She described scenes pictured with great detail and told of the native people. The Spanish Club has succeeded in arousing in- terest in the as yet virtually undeveloped resources of South America. They have heard first hand about the experiences of travelers who have gone from end to end of the great continent to the south. Music of these nations has been enjoyed by all and reports have been read about the activities in vari- ous countries. Although some geography and his- tory are studied in class, this club is devoted almost entirely to that. Mr. Clarence Smith and Mr. M. M. Racer serve as very capable advisers to the club. In the past years they have made the Spanish Club one of the best in the school. Spanish Club Action: Thomas Fails, Phil Kepple, Phoebe Diehl, Justine Carlson, Jonni Smith, Allan Gould, Marilyn McKenzie, Arthur Clarke, Carl Forrester. RETAILERS STAGE BIG YEAR Many Proiects Planned for Enioyment of Club The t'Future Retailers of America are staging several large projects for the year. Besides adopting the use of a pin, symbolizing all cooperative sales classes of Ohio, the retailers are at- tending, as a group, a regional meeting on the campus of Ohio State. Also at- tending this meeting will be similiar groups from other Ohio schools. There, comparison of working conditions, ways, and ideas can be exchanged. A rummage sale to secure funds for a banquet for employers is planned for the end of the semester. Each retailer invites his employer to be his guest at the banquet. Another highlight event is the taking of kodachrome pictures of the retailers on the job in downtown stores. These pictures will serve as a memory to the prodigious days spent in school. Retailers' Club Roll: Peggy Boukhn, Norma Raines, Thelma Potter, Mary Kotsanos, Jessie Setty, Katherine Householder, Wava Bumgardner, Betty Conklid, Alleana Smith, Norma Miller, Patti Brooks, Muriel Frayer, Jo Wyne, Jean Gilbert, Clarice Hawk, Bill Tittle, Roberta Gossett, Virginia Cwid, Marjorie Erwin, Don Huffman, Richard Wilcox, Billie Yates, Lou Gatewood. Retailers Action: The Future Retailers of America show planned styles for 1946 season.

The Club That Does Things is an ap- propriate name for this organization. Schemes are planned through the year which fatten their treasury. At June they award S100 scholarship to a stu- dent. 102 BQUSTERS BACK ACTIVITIES Club Displays Great Enthusiasm by Supporting All Performances Boosters' Club Action: CSeatedJ Collen O'Dell, Elinor Armstrong, Joann Smith, Joann Lewis, Tom Walsh, John Moores, Jane Ritter, Cynthia Meredith, Winnie Gebhardt, Dean' Ross, Francis McKenzie, Richard Wysong: tStandingy Henry Diehl, James Story, Robert: Hawken, Fred Shape, Barbara Barth, Paul Snyder, Pat Dunn. Around Springfield High School a comparatively new club which has skyrocketed to prominence among the students is the Wildcat Boosters' Club. Headed by its active president Henry Diehl and its able adviser, Mr. C. M. Caldwell, this club has con- tributed much to raising school spirit by arousing the interest of the students in school activities or activities sponsored by the school. Its success was proved by having the largest at- tendance in school history at the basketball games last season. Not only did it increase the attendance and enthusiasm of the students at basketball games, but also showed the same attitude toward football games, school concerts, and numerous dramatic events. Although this organization was just one year old in November 1945, it had surpassed all other clubs in membership. Today there are over six hundred fifty active members. Other students who have aided in making this organization a success are: the vice-president, John Moores, secretaries Jean Thacker and Cynthia Meredithg and a program committee consisting of Barbara Rewey, Maralyn Anderson, Cynthia Mer- edith, Francis McKenzie, John Moores, Henry Diehl, and Jack Laughner. Some outstanding programs of this committee were parades, pep rallies, and dances. The plans for next year consist of streamlining the club by increasing the efficiency of the old ideas of running the club plus the addition of some new ones. One of these new ideas is to put a club rep- resentative in each homeroom, which are responsi- ble to their group leaders. This system will in- crease the ease with which the club may cantact its members and possibly interest others enough to join their flock. Other systems being worked out are the collecting of dues at the beginning of each year, instead of asking members every month for contributions for a danceg and the enlarging of the Boosters' Section in the football stadium and the gym. This sums up the main plans of this organiza- tion for next year. Such are the functions of the Wildcat Boosters' Club. This club is an excellent example of leader- ship in Springfield High School and has shown its influence in numerous ways. All in all, this active group looks forward to bigger and even more suc- cessful years in the future. .AA X . w . ff.. b , ,N-,. M- .. 1' ff jf -1. ' ' 1:4 Sf, 1 Q .. ., P- ' f -g g,5f:.jC +.

Sophomore History Forum tries to teach high school students more about the community and country. This forum is for any sophomores who are doing satisfactory work in World History. This organization, which was first organized in 1940, has risen to an enrollment of 80. Their regular meetings are held at least once a month, unless a special meeting is called. The elected officers are the same both semesters and are as follows: Presi- dent-John Bablesg Vice-president-Susan Krappg Secretary-treasurere-Jane Baldwing Chaplain- Richard Shankg Program Chairman-Allan Ranking and Sgt.-at-Arms Richard Miller. Clubs, such as the Sophomore History Forum, are made interesting by good programs. Knowing this, the forum tried to have entertainment that was in- teresting, yet something that might be of importance to the students. Some of Springfield High School's own talent contributed to some of the programs. When certain places of interest and importance are to be visited, committees are appointed to go. On October 17, a committee visited the jail, and then reports were made by John McKune, Marilyn Young, Pat Sikes, and Jeanne Wright. At their Christmas meeting, a Christmas story was given by Barbara Gaver and refreshments were served. Another committee, composed of Nancy Swanton, Joan Miller, and George Gianopulos, visited Bor- den's Dairy and made reports of the trip at the January meeting. This committee that visited the dairy were given a free treat. Trying to make members more interested in how the school is run and to take part in school affairs, the forum tends to contribute to the growth and wel- fare of the school. ln the same manner, the history forum teaches them how the community is run or managed and shows them the part they have in the community's affairs. Summarizing all of this im- formation, it is found that the Sophomore History Forum tends to make better citizens and students. TWO QUT QF SIX ISSUES WIN Four Measures Fail to Obtain Necessary Margin for Passage The question has been asked, Why don't the people of Springfield take more pride in keeping their city a nicer place to live in? The chance was given to them on November 6, 1945, when they were asked to vote for and to pass six bond issues. As a result two out of the six were approved by the voters. The grade crossing elimination and school bond issues went over the top with 67 per cent of the vote while the sewers, playgrounds, the highway measures came in close with over a 60 per cent vote. However, the issues all needed 65 per cent of the vote to pass. As was expected, the City Hospital brought up the rear with only 58 per cent, The issues totaling '.,57,842,000, were under the spon- sorship of the Greater Springfield and Clark County Association which carried on an extensive campaign for six weeks preceding the election. Failure of the passage of all six bond issues was attributed to the state law which requires not less than 65 per cent of the votes cast for passage of a municipal bond issue. The school bond issue for 53,582,000 will be used in acquiring the necessary land for new school build- ings, and in furnishing, and equipping school build- ings. The elementary schools have been sadly neglected. Eleven of the twenty buildings now in use range from fifty to ninety years old, and it is generally considered that a building more than fifty years old is no longer suitable for school purposes. In 1930 Dr. Holy made a survey of the school situation but none of his recommendations to the Board of Ed- ucation were carried out. Fifteen years later the need for these improvements is beyond the stage of being a need. It's a must! The SS836,000 for the grade crossing elimination is to be used to pay the cost to the city for eliminating the crossings on East Main Street and on North Limestone Stret. The bridge at No. Limestone Street has presented a constant hazard and has been the cause of numerous accidents. Elimination of this bridge has been contemplated in the Jobs and Progress civic improvement program. Also the bridges over the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks at South Lowry and South Wittenberg have presented traffic difficulties. These very high crowned and narrow bridges endanger human life as well as automobiles. The program proposes to eliminate these bridges and replace them with safe, modern ones. For many years the State Highway Depart- ment has contemplated a super highway on Route 40 from the east, but the bottleneck which exists in Springfield has made this temporarily impossible. Local citizens' committees have frequently consulted the State Highway Department for the pressing need of relief. Relief was promised but on the condition that the city do its own share. With the elimination of the crossing at East Main Street one of the objections will be removed. Also the east and west bound traffic can avoid grade crossing by using North and Columbia streets thus greatly reducing traffic congestion in downtown Springfield.

DEPARTMENT Knowledge and Understanding of Business Practice Springfield Senior High's Commercial Club is an organization made up of students particularly in- terested in the broadening of their knowledge of business, typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and office practice. These students gather together on the third Thursday of each month to discuss Commerce or to see movies on different types of business. The constitution of this live-wire club is to elevate the status of the commercial department, to advance their own interests, to make the most of their oppor- tunities, to establish high ideals of accomplishment, and to broaden their general knowledge in the use of machinery pertaining to business practice. The Commercial Club was originally called the Junior Chamber of Commerce before the turn of 1920. Soon afterward, this club was renamed after the department of the school in whose interests they gathered together. The present club has a mem- bership of approximately sixty members who gather together under the sponsorship of Mr. Elmer Leffel, commercial teacher, to further their interests in the commercial activtites of the present day world. The officers of the commercial club are elected to serve for the whole school year. The meetings of the Commercial Club are first called to order by the presidents, after which the new and old business is taken care of. The entertainment of the meetings consisted of a variety of programs. Under the competent direction of a very capable program chairman, many interesting programs were given by the members of the Commercial Club dur- ing the past year. The first meeting of the year was called to organize the club and elect officers for the ensuing year. The officers elected are as follows: Patty Gueth, president, Arlene Keller, vice-presi- dent, Doris Belcher, treasurerg and Pat McAlister, secretary. The other meetings held during the year consisted of a musical variety program, a discussion of business art, a Christmas program, a movie on shorthand, and a field trip through a commercial establishment. Through these monthly meetings this club helps to create in its members all the ob- jectives mentioned in the clubs constitution and prepares them for a business future. Commercial Club Group AERONAUTICS CLUB LEARN Principles of Techniculify of Aircraft With an average membership of 25, the Aeronautics Club under the sponsorship of Mr. Lewis W. Lewis meets every week for forty-five minutes to learn more about navigation. Bob Meade is the presi- dent of this group of future fliers while Ed Snyder carries out his duties of secretary-treasurer. At the meetings of this club which is comprised of students interested in flying, Mr. Lewis explains some of the principles of navigation. Although meteorology, wind velocity, and radius of action problems are studied, much more time is devoted to the study of wind triangles. After movies on map reading have been shown, the students are able to interpret maps. During the spring, field trips to nearby airports are an important feature of the club. Approximately seventy-five per cent of the mem- bers are Civil Air Patrol Cadets, These cadets study two hours every week almost the same prin- ciples taught by their sponsor and also discuss traf- fic patterns. During the summer, the meetings are held at the airport where practical experiences are gained.

Those students interested in scienti- fic developments find this club a means of learning more about the modern inventions and facts con- cerning them. Included in the program calendar for the first sem- ester was a trip, made by members of the club, to the Crowell-Collier Publishing Company in Spring- field. Also, such subjects as the study of sound, given in the form of movies, and reaction motors, given as a talk by Carl Braun, were used in pro- grams. Not to be forgotten are the lighter moments of this club which were found in the Christmas party given by the club for its members. A similar schedule was set up for the programs of the second semester. They also included movies, lectures, and interest trips. An example was the program of pictures from the General-Electric in Cleveland. Members of this club are those taking one of the three laboratory sciences: Biology, Chemistry, or Physics. Under the guidance of their sponsor Mr. A. B. Shafer, the club was lead through a very suc- cessful year by two semester cabinets composed of the following students: first semester-president, Richard Leslieg vice-president, Philip Keppleg sec- retary, Garrett Reevesg treasurer, Richard Binnigg second semesterfpresidenit Philip Keppleg vice- president, Rose Monettg secretary, Jack Lewis, treasurer, Marilyn Dugan.

AWARDS GIVEN T0 TUDENTS Star and Chevron Recognizes Those Who Gave Service To School Until several years ago Springfield High had no way of recognizing students who gave outstanding service to their school. That was the reason for the beginning of the Star and Chevron Club. This club has provided an incentive for many students who cannot contribute by having a high scholarship average to help their school in other ways. There are numerous ways in which this credit can be acquired. Some of these include: art projects, choir, band, and other music, gym monitors, hall monitors, library assistance, lunchroom help, office help for the principal and deans, crews for keeping records of Star and Chevron, schoolboy patrol, speakers for homeroom programs COutside activityj, stage crew, student tutors, ushers, grade school coaches, 100 per cent attendance of homeroom presidents or vice- presidents at council meetings, club officers and per- formers, and athletic squads. In an assembly the awards are given out by Principal Fox with a simple but impressive ceremony in which several students participate. After several short speeches, the students are called up on the stage according to the number of hours credit they have been given, and they are given the proper award. For the first 75 hours, one chevron is given. For 150 hours two chevrons are given. For 20 hours and over, a pin is awarded, consisting of a star and two chevrons. This is the highest award obtainable. This year there were several students who exceeded the 200 hours award so extremely that they were given special recognition, although they received no other award. These students were: Norma Brough- er, Norma Fosnaugh, Eloise Holaday, Delores Sheets, and Betty Seaman. 1 WW IW Norman Des Combs demonstrates one of the manu methods for receiv- ing Star and Chevron credit. -at 111 lie- I INDU TRY CLUB VISITS SHCP Boys See Movies of Modern Processes Used in Industry Today The Industrial Club began in 1920 as the Practical Arts Club, but in 1937 Vocational education began in the Springfield Schools and the Practical Arts Club served both groups. In 1941 the name of the Practical Arts course changed to Industrial Arts, so it was decided to call the Practical Arts Club the Industrial Club to correspond with the course that it represented. The Industrial Club is organized for the purpose of giving the boys who expect to enter industry a better idea of what to expect when they take up their life work. In order to give the boys of this club an idea of the work of large factories, Mr. Neil Lottridge. the sponsor of the club, arranges movies to be shown at the club meetings. These movies show industries not common to Springfield and the surrounding area. These movies not only give the members of the club an idea of industry, but they also help the boys to decide just what type of industry they would like to enter. If it weren't for these pictures, the boys would have a chance to study only a limited number of industries. To get first hand informa- tion, the members of the club visited such places as Crowell-Collier Publishing Company, Robins- Meyers, and National Supply Company this year. By visiting these plants, they are able to talk to the workers and learn about the processes used in that particular industry. This club is one of the most informative organiza- tions of Springfield High School, and it's helpful in preparing boys to enter industry with an idea of what is expected of them. This year there was a membership of forty-seven students who elected Carl Swift as their president. This large member- ship shows that the club is a true success with the boys of today who will be the workers of tomorrow. One phase of Industrial process.

Under the direc- tion of Mr. Wayne Slater this group of boys work to- gether to keep the rule of Safety First uppermost in the minds of Springfield High School students. these boys are on duty during the various lunch hours and after school both at 2:00 p.m. and at 2:45 p.m. There is a boy,taking care of a semaphore at North High School Place, and one with a semaphore at South High School Place. Certain boys also take care of the traffic light in front of the school. These boys leave class several minutes before the bell rings and remain on duty until the students are gone. This group does not hold regular business meetings, but on the average of about once a month a special meeting is called to inform the squad of any changes or particular business which has come up. JOINT MEETINGS ARE l'lEI.D Friendship and Hi-Y Combine for Proms ond Occasional Meetings '5 '+-Q. Center St. Hi-Y ftopj Clark St. Friendship tbotj This group of senior high boys forms part of the Center Street Hi-Y. Along with their customary activities they have joint-meetings with the Clark Street Friendship. But their pride and joy is in their basketball team, which has had a very suc- cessful season. They travel around, playing other Hi-Y's, as Well as having teams here to play. Oc- casionally, they have outside members of the club. The meetings every Friday afternoon provide some relaxation and entertainment for these young ladies of Springfield High. At these meetings they have had speakers, amateur shows, and musical programs. For novelty, one time they had a style show. In December and June, the Clark Street Friendship and the Center Street Hi-Y combine to have their proms at the YMCA. 4 N rvzs X' Mg N q gk 4 J g. A X-, ' - Q lx 'L-, 1 5 x A ' h. ' 5. LE f K. .

OPHOMORES SPON QR DAN E Sophomore Friendship Club Features Noted Concert Pianist Exciting, dynamic, educational, friendly and simply on the beamul What is it? you ask. Not many groups could boast such a variety of acclamations, but this is just the way members describe the Sopho- more Friendship Club. Radiant with life and vigor this is a club of prime importanct among sophomore girls. This is a vitally important condition to main- tain for it is during the sophomore year that students form many of their friendships and get impressions which are dominant factors in determining the attitude of the student all through high school. This club offers good social contacts to the one hundred twenty sophomore girls who claim member- ship. The club's activities bring enthusiastic com- ments from members. The first program was a lecture by Mrs. Harra on the styles and care of the hair, the first in a series of talks on charm was given by Mrs. Steinkemp from the Merle Norman Cosmetics Company. With a talk and demonstra- tion Mrs. Steinkemp gave several pointers on the care of the complexion. In another meeting World Fellowship Week was observed with a talk by Miss Dorothy Dale of the YWCA. Other meetings featured a pot-luck supper, folk dancing, guest entertainers, the singing of Christmas Carols and skits prepared by a few of the members. Probably the event which most members point to with greatest pride is the 'Sub-Deb Saunterf' an in- formal dance held January 26, under the sponsor- ship of the Sophomore Friendship Club. Extensive preparations were made for the dance including even publicity over WIZE. Johny Wright's orch- estra played for a capacity crowd in the gaily fes- tooned gym of the YWCA.

Included on this board are teachers and coaches of the high school. Recently augmented by returned coaches from the services, the athletic board will reach its peak. The faculty board, as it is also known, makes all schedules and arrangements for competitive sports, such as foot- ball, basketball, track, and baseball. Also the board sets up the standards for athletic awards. As the war is now won the job of the faculty board will be made easier, since war restrictions hampered the functioning of the board. The Athletic Board All. TEAM NEED ASSISTAN E Cheerleaders and Managers Build Morale and Keep Teams Intact Snappy cheerleaders are responsible for the spirit of the team and the fans. Before, these positions were open only for boys. This year Springfield High School introduced the duties to girls. Since the boys graduated in mid-year, the eight peppy misses now make up the entire squad, rotating be- tween reserve and varsity games. Springfield's new addition to their sports program seems to have been a pleasant success. So wake up the echo's lassies, cheering dear SHS's name. Looking over the 1945 football season, one finds that the things necessary for a successful football season are the multiple tasks of the managers. At the beginning of football season there is the job of getting everyone properly fitted with equipment. After this the managers tasks becomes limited to that of liming the football field, taking care of minor ailments of players, keeping the field house in orderly fashion, and packing gear for out-of-town games. These and many smaller items take up all of the managers time.

This will make up the tenth team on Springfield High's schedule. Also included in this schedule are the Big Three teams, consisting of Hamilton. Middle- town, and Portsmouth. These teams along with Mansfield are always the toughest to beat, con- sequently, they promise to be excellent games. Other schools on the schedule are Columbus West. Columbus South. Lima Central, Dayton Stivers. and to complete their schedule the Wildcats will play Marion Harding. Altogether the Cats have rough and rugged plans for the coming season. ln order to crack this tough schedule in the fall of 1946 the Wildcat squad will be working diligently under the able leadership of Coach James McDonald, who has returned from three years of service in the Navy.

' l l WILDCAT ELEVEN TIE BY Springfield High Plays Host to Columbus Southp Dayton Stirers and SHS Wildcats battle it out at a night game at Evans Stadium. After meeting Columbus South at Evans Stadium, September 2, the Wildcat eleven racked up a 32-12 victory. The Gold and Blue contingent, led by the brilliant drives of Sophomore Halfback Jim Powers, scored a touchdown each period, after tallying two in the opening frame. The Bulldogs received the kick-off, found them- selves unable to do business and punted to Len Harshaw, who scampered to Columbus' 40-yard mark. Then Harshaw faded back for a pass and shot a perfect aerial 'to Powers, who crossed the goal for a touchdown. South then pulled a rally after intercepting a Wild- cat pass. The Wildcats came out of their momen- tary lethargy by making another touchdown. An- other spectacular touchdown was made by Harshaw, after a 53-yard trek, which was highlighted by Snyder's 26-yard spurt, he carried the ball over the goal line. At Portsmouth Municipal Stadium September 28, the Trojans defeated the Wildcats 44-0. The game was opened by the Trojans sparring cau- tiously at the Wildcat forward wall and after being held for three downs, punted. When Springfield went offside, the ball was called back, giving the Trojans a first down. After this, the Wildcats never came back into the game. Although the Springfield eleven never got back into the game, Harshaw, Snyder, Ferree, Powers, and Downey took courage- ous stands against the Portsmouth Trojans. Four of Portsmouth's touchdowns were tallied by jogging Ray Pelfrey. The Portsmouth powerhouse, after finding itself with a first down, never stopped. To the Wildcat's five first downs, the fighting Ports- mouth Trojans registered eleven. WINNING 2 QUT CF 4 GAMES Winning 32-125 lima Central Defeated I2-7 by Gold and Blue Springfield High School racked up its third victory of the 1945 season at Evans Stadium on October 5. The victory, a 12-7 triumph over Lima Central, came mainly as a result of the alertness of Left Guard Frank McKenzie, who broke through the Dragons' defense to block a punt which Center Roger Downey recovered over the goal for the de- ciding tally. The other Wildcat score also came in the second quarter when the Springfielders marched 64 yards to the Lima 14-yard stripe. Here shifty Dick Sny- der blasted his way through tackle to notch the first Gold and Blue touchdown. Lima, exhibiting a very effective aerial offensive, combined a number of Statue of Libertyw plays with some accurate bullet passes to get within striking distance of the Vllildcat goal. After 'two vain sallies at the line, Halfback Bill Sharp planted the pigskin in the waiting arms of Left End Jim Hoff for Lima's lone journey to pay dirt. The Lima Band, clad in myrtle green trousers and cardinal coats presented a fine exhibition of march- ing and playing during the halftime interlude. Columbus Day. October 12, saw the Springfield Wildcats receive their second setback of the season at the hands of a superior Mansfield eleven at Mans- field. The Nemesis of the Wildcats was a Tyger fullback by the name of Paul Horvath. Paul ac- counted for five of his team's six touchdowns and was instrumental in setting up the sixth which a substitute, Schmidt, tallied. Dick Snyder, fleet halfback, broke loose for a 60- yard touchdown run midway in the third period to give Springfield their only score in a 41-6 game. Just two minutes after the opening kickoff, Horvath romped 24 yards for Mansfield's first touchdown after Springfield had fumbled. Gagach placekicked the first of his five extra points. In the second period, Horvath went over from the one and Schmidt followed a few minutes later from the 16-yard marker. Paul plunged over from the one-yard stripe again in the third quarter and after Springfield gathered its lone tally, Horvath jour- neyed 74 yards for another trip to pay dirt. Then to complete his evenings work, the flashy full- back traveled 72 yards to give the 'Tygers their final tally in the fourth quarter.

THE PLAN For the City of Tomorrow Springfield, like the rest of the world, is looking toward Tomorrow. The hopes, dreams, and wishes for a new and better world in the post-war era are in the making. In Springfield, the Greater Spring- field and Clark County Association is working at full speed. November 1945 saw two great bond issues passed, for the public schools and for the grade crossing improvements. The two former issues are now in the process of being carried out. The plans for the proposed rail- road crossing at Main Stret are drawn up and are awaiting fulfillment. This will be very welcome to the people of Springfield and to the many people who travel Route 40. The State Highway Depart- ment contemplates a super highway on from the east, and Springfield is the bottleneck. Included also in this program is the improvement of the South Lowry and the South Wittenberg Avenue bridges. The public school program is indeed the foremost issue to be fulfilled. The program, formulated by Dr. T. C. Holy, Director of the Bureau of Ed- ucational Research, Ohio State University, is con- sidered extensive enough to last for the next twenty- five years. The plan calls for the tearing down of nine school buildings and the erection of new and better institutions in their locations or for the com- bining of four schools into one, as is to be done to Emerson, Southern, Garfield, and Lincoln by locat- ing one twenty-four roomed building with a gym, cafeteria, and other facilities necessary to make a modern school, in the center of the area now served by the old buildings. The adding of more class- rooms, and the addition of a gymnasium and a cafe- teria is scheduled for Elmwood, Highland, Jefferson, and Washington schools along with Bushnell, Ful- ton, Grayhill, Lagonda, and McKinley schools which are getting new modern schoolhouses. Included in the program is the erection of a new unit of six rooms at the approximate location of Broadway and Bechtle Avenue to accommodate children now being served by the Broadway Portable. A new eight roomed building at the approximate location of Harding Road and St. Paris Pike, to relieve the badly congested condition in the Jefferson building and to care for the expansion of population in the northwest part of the city is also planned. After tearing down Southern grade school, an ad- dition to the Senior High School will be made. Into this new addition the Industrial Arts Department will be moved, leaving plenty of space for new classrooms, laboratory, and other necessary facili- ties. The ultimate abandonment of Western and Northern Schools is contemplated in the fulfillment of this program. The pupils in these schools will be moved to other nearby schools. Springfield has a beautiful recreational center, Snyder Park, and a few smaller ones in Cliff Park, the Fairgrounds, and Perrin Woods. However, the greater Springfield and Clark County Association has proposed a parkway to extend from Lagonda Qveiiue along Buck Creek where it will join Snyder ar .

The sixth game of the season turned out to be a very tough one for the Wildcats who were smothered 34-6. This was the first game which the Wildcats lost during this season on their own hstamping grounds. Hamilton played a strong T formation throughout the game and piled up 148 yards of scrimmage while the cats clawed out 75 yards against their stronger opponents. Hamilton's powerful line bowled over the Wildcats to open holes through which speedy backs tore off for long gains. Springfield recovered four out of five of Hamilton's fumbles: one of which turned into Springfield's love touchdown. Hamilton intercepted four out of eight passes attempted by the Cats and chased one back 70 yards to score. On the second play after the kickoff, Hamilton's halfback dodged Springfield tacklers to reel off 48 yards for the Big Blues first touchdown. In the second quarter Springfield's Len Harshaw recovered a Hamilton fumble on their 12-yard line and dodged his way into the 'Lpay dirt to tie the score up 6-6. This tie-up was short lived, however, for right after the following kickoff, Hamilton's other halfback took the ball over the goal on the first down for another touchdown. The extra point was made good and the score stood 13-6. After this an aerial by the Wildcats was intercepted and the Ham- - if ., :kwa , ,Hx-,'f ' A - A - , -spf 1 - -: -1, 1 . ...r--A -- - : .

In the third quarter the Big Blue gridiron machine plunged over the chalk stripe for another pair of touchdowns, one a pass from the quarterback to the left end and another on a tackler's recovery over the goal of a blocked punt off the foot of Len Har- shaw. Both the extra points were good and the scoring stopped at 34-6, since no points were made in the fourth quarter. Nearly 400 Hamiltonians came to boost their team, and the classy Blue and Wh.ite's band entertained by drilling at the half. Springfield High School was also well represented by the high school band and the Booster's Club. Middletown played the role of the spider as Spring- field, the unwary fly, was devoured in the spider's parlor, 19-0. This was the Cats fourth defeat out of seven games played. The Middies tromped over the Wildcats for their sixth straight victory of the season on October 25. The Middletown halfback galloped 20 yards for a touchdown in the early stages of the game, followed by a yard by yard advance by the Middies for a second tally. The last goal was made by the intercepting of a lateral by Middletown on the 12-yard line, and the scampering of the left halfback over the goal line with the ball safely in his grasp. The extra point was made this time to clinch the game for Middletown 19-0. t-'nit 126 iff-- z,a . ,, ,.. . .vi -' Lf':Z.-1-. - ' .W ' -,- -, -M Q - 40 43 in 'F X ..i1,f'1 mg I x A J 1 x If ive Action Shots Leonard Harshaw Don Wright Leonard Harshaw Paul Dunfee Dick Snyder Ed Roberts David Roberts Ralph Hale Jack Sanders Roger Downey X I ' EL ,ffm if R A ' .k 1 11,1 -, H5 TOUGH CHEDULE ,J , 'QL . 4 X Us CHALLENGES WILDCAT Team Wins Six Out of Ten Contests in Football Myland Trimmer Dick Valentine Norbert Fox Jim Powers Tom F erree Dick Hammerele Frank McKenzie Don Eaton Dick Wysong LW5'SKSi1?6' 1-QW? .uf .u ' I .W A WX' -- fx fu 4, M. ww 1-.3 .55 4 : fj' 'N 'Q -3 .'

The Cats' Parrill had made a field goal to give them the lead 28-27 in the first basketball game of the season at Tiffany gym, November 30, 1945. The second game wasn't quite so fortunate for the Cats, but it was thrill-packed. The first-half was slack, but in the second-half, suddenly, the Cats rejuvenated and moved fast, not fast enough to keep down the undefeated Columbus West five. Number three game found the Gold and Blue in Newark, December 8, 1945, again at the short end of the 57-34 score of Springfield vs. Newark. At Dayton on December 14, 1945, the Cats came through to win 41-33. Dayton Roosevelt tetered from the lead to the opposite end. Finally, after four quarters, the Cats spilled the Teddies to win. Coming from behind in the fifth game, the Gold and Blue toppled Wilbur Wright 41-39, December 18, 1945, at Tiffany gym. Their foul shots and expert and rapid pass work showed up to a great advantage in their third victory in five starts. Although, Lawrence hit five times from the field and once from the free line, and Clark led with six shots from the field and three from the free space, the Gold and Blue surrendered to Lima Central at Lima, December 21, 1945.

Playing forward instead of his usual guard position, Elwood Clark poured 13 points through the hoops setting the pace for the Cats. This win gave the SHS Wild- cats a record for the season of ten victories against nine losses. Springfield High was eliminated in the District tournament at Dayton on March 1. They had reached the second round after receiving a bye in the first. The Dayton Oakwood team, having one ot its hottest nights, led the Wildcats all the way and emerged the winner, 42-30. Oakwood led, 15-7, at the end of the first quarter and at halftime led, 26-13. At the end of third quarter the Gem City team held a 36 to 19 ad- vantage and coasted to victory in the remaining quarter. King and Munch poured 10 points each through the nets for Oakwood while Bill Englefield took scoring honors for Springfield with 8 points.

What of the future? That is the question all the boys coming home from overseas have been asking. That is the question which even the greatest of scholars have not been able to predict with accuracy. If man could understand the future and what it has in store for him, perhaps he would have a peaceful and more prosperous world in which to live. The students of Springfield Senior High School are not able to predict the future any better than any other person, but they are preparing themselves for a future by studying hard and advancing themselves in the vocational fields which they wish to enter when they graduate.This is one fairly reliable way of in- suring themselves a happy and prosperous future. The possession of a high school dip- loma means a lot when it comes to obtaining good jobs and keeping them. The courses in Springfield High School are varied to enable each person to find the type of work that he or she is best suited for and to prepare the person for his life's work. Many Springfield High students do not quit education with high school but go on to college so that they can advance themselves in the ever widening field of tomorrow. High School is a big place to the sophomore who first steps into the huge domed building. Guzrlanu and counseling play an important role with qracluatt s lzaring the required amount of credits. The sophomore boys and girls soon learn, however, that they can always depend on one of the counselors to help them out when they get in a jam g and that is quite often. The guidance classes in high school are designed not only to help the students in the selection of courses, but also to help them to learn and understand th rules and etiquette which are required of all high school students. The sophomores, strange as it may seem, are not the only students in high school who are helped by the counselors. There are guidance classes for juniors and seniors too. Many of the senior boys who became eighteen years of age before they were finished with high school and were being called into Uncle Sam's armed forces, found answers to their problems and questions by discussing the matter with Mr. Young or Mr. Sanders. In many cases seniors discover that they need a certain number of extra credits to graduate and have their sche- dules rearranged so that they can receive the extra credit needed. These and many other problems fall the lot of Miss Christine Hume tdean of girlsj, Mr. Lawrence Sanders, tdean of sophomore boysi, and Mr. Boyd Young Cdean of junior and senior boysi. If it were not for these experienced trouble shooters there would certainly be pandemonium among the students of Senior High. Selection of courses is an important step in pre paring a schedule for a semester of school work a , sf 1A-..l - RESERVES WIN TWELVE GAMES Kittens Score Victory Over Tough Mansfield Team This year Springfield High's Reserves hung up a slightly better winner's slate than their Varsity brothers with a total of twelve games won and six lost for a percentage of .B66. Some of these games were played against the toughest Reserve competition in the state, for the Kittens met such teams as Middletown, Hamilton, Mansfield, Newark, and many other outstanding junior quintets. One of the outstanding facts about the Reserves this year was that all but three members of the squad were sophomores. Notable among these youngsters were Ben Garrett, Ed. Rob- erts, Dick Norman, and Bill Englefield who all ended the season playing on the Varsity. Bob Hawken, stellar junior forward, started on the Reserves, but was on the Varsity by the fourth game. Leading the scoring on the Reserve team was Ben Garrett with a total of 95 points for the season. He also garnered a Reserve Basketball Squad CFirst rowl Thor Ronemas Ben Garrett Dick Phillips Dick Norman CSecond rowb Ed Roberts Bill Englefielcl Paul Campbell James Powers Bob Hawken Sophomore Basketball Squad CFirst rowl Eddie Toliver Fred 1VIcKaig Jack Shoaf Calvin Rucker Dave Hancher CSecov1d 'rowb Don Jones Bob Bell Martin Schlicher Ronald Compton John Wheeler good number of baskets after being moved up to the Varsity. Close on his heals in the scoring parade were Bill Englefield with 72 points, and Ed Roberts with 66. All year the Reserves were noted for their great amount of scrap. With most of the squad running under six feet, they had to depend on fight to win many of their ball games. The Kittens took games from some af the best Reserve aggregations in the State, beating such tough teams as Mans- field, Newark, Columbus Central, and Columbus West. However, Middletown, Hamilton, and Lima Central all took their measure Most exciting game of the season was against Speco in an exhibition match. Outscored the first quarter, the Wildcats tied up the score 19-19 at half-time, and went on to win 23-22. OPHOMORE SQUAD HOW Numerals were given to the following: Tolliver, Norman, Bell, Compston, Wheeler, Snyder, Rone- mus, Phillips, Jones, Rankin, Martin, and Grissom. Promising Quality for Varsity Team Reaching for a high one Establishing a record of thirteen wins and three losses, the sophomore basketball team, under the direction of Coach William Clauss, wound up a highly successful season. At the beginning of the year, a great many sopho- more boys had tried out for basketball. As the season progressed the better players were re- tained to make up the active squad. Coach Clauss believes that the team as a whole has great pos- sibilities to be put into use in future years. Out- standing ability was particularly shown by John Wheeler, Albert Jones, Dick Phillips, Thor Rone- mus, and Dick Snyder. The squad received ex- perience by playing the junior high schools and other groups connected with the YMCA. They were also substituted into the reserve basketball games to receive more training. 137 ga- HARRIERS RUN IN TWC MEETS Cots Drop Two to Osborn Both and Columbus West Columbus Westls cross-country team took :first honors in a quadrangular meet held in Snyder Park on October 10.

Stottle- myer, George Hennessey. Even though the 1945 turnout for track boasted only two returning lettermen, Dick Corbin and Matt Clay, Coach Remsberg diligently drilled the pros- pective cindermen into a winning squad. With an inexperienced team, Springfield won its first 1945 victory in a postal meet with Cincinnati Western Hills on April 13. Feeling a little more confident in the ability of his aggregation, Coach Remsberg made a successful trip to Columbus West, April 20. Here in a duel meet with Columbus West Cowboys, the Gold and Blue tracksters took the contest in a 64-54 de- cision. Dick Corbin led the scoring row with a 42 foot effort in the shot-put. Other events won by SHS were the high hurdles by Gene Stevenson, 880-yard relay, 440-yard dash by Jack Dibert, and discus throw by Dick Standley with a 111 foot UQ inch heave. ' The next week found Springfield harriers on the short end of a meet of Class A schools at Ohio Wesleyan on April 28. Here Springfield chalked up only four points against the top-flight competition. On May 5, the squad traveled to the annual Newark relays. Here four previous records were cracked and two were tied in spite of a soggy track. Al- though Springfield placed sixth, the team showed aggressiveness and spirit. As a grand climax to an eventful season, Springfield successfully defended their Southwestern District championship against eleven class A schools on May 12. SHS registered 46 points with Dayton Dunbar close behind with 40 points. Dick Corbin took the broad jump with 30 feet, 11 3X4 inches. Spring- field swamped the opponents with a 77-43 score. They proved weak in some eventsg but looked very encouraging on the whole. Coach Gladden Ronemus, returning from service with the U.S. Navy, announced that the 1946 track season would begin February 25. The boys are looking forward to an eventful and successful season. TRACK TOP HERE SIN E '38 Springfield Cops District Meets for last Eight Years Track activity was progressing rapidly in Springfield High School until the war. When the boys went into industry, track took a sudden decline. Every- one became war conscious instead of sports con- scious a condition which caused many prospective runners to be disinterested. These reasons along with others caused the decline of the track squad. Six years ago one hundred fifty boys were out for track, excluding basketball players, whereas last year barely one hundred boys, including basketball players, were interested. However, now that the boys are coming back, this sport, which has been tra- ditionally good for many years, is rapidly regain- ing its old prestige. Some examples of the excellent record made by SHS are taken from 1938 through 1945. These are: winner of the Wesleyan Relay once, and never placing below third, many times being awarded top honors in the Miami Relays, taking first place in the Newark Relays twice, never losing a Southwestern District Meet, receiving the highest honors at the DeVilbis Relays at Toledo, the only time Springfield competed, and receiving in three consecutive years at the Ohio State Track Meet two second places and one third place. In order to produce teams like this it took a lot of hard work and obedience to strict training rules . In the beginning boys do not believe that they will like track, but the more they put into it the more they will like it. In order to become an outstanding track man, a boy must put forth a conscientious effort, make a study of himself, take long hours of hard working as an individual, be willing to sacri- fice, and correct minute details. A conscientious track man will practice more all year round than any other Sportsman. Track and field is different from all other sports in that the fundamentals must be perfect so that when it's on your mark, get set, and go, you will produce to your best ability. The way winning teams have been produced in the past and may be used in the future is through the cooperation of the whole physical education de- partment. In the fall the Physical Education Board gave efficiency tests which tied directly into the track program of every boy. In January from this file anywhere from two hundred to two hundred fifty boys would be interviewed personally for track. Then, when the call was issued in February it was not unusual to have three-fourth of the number of boys interviewed out for track. Such is the system which has been used in the past and may again be used in the near future. 1945 Track Individual shots: Richard Wysong, disk: Ivan Reed, 440-clash: Richard Law- rence, half mile, Richard Corbin, broadjumpg Junior Anderson, relay, John Chilcote, pole vaultg Jack Dibert, hurdler, Nathan Beavers, high jumpg Jack House, rrelayg Fred Felclt, dashg Dick Standley, shot put, Eugene Burks, broad jumpg Mathew Clay, relay. WIN SEVEN QUT UF EIGHT GAMES Fearn, Pitcher, Credited with Four Wins With Cedarville unable to solve the offerings of hurler Dick Fern, the Wildcats grabbed the opener 3-0, April 13 at the Municipal Stadium. The bright spot of the afternoon was Charles Robert's brilliant defensive fielding play. Fern drove in the initial run with a single to center, plating Rinker who had stolen second. Yoder and Rinker scored the second and third runs in the fourth and sixth frames respectively. At Dayton on April 21, moundsmen Ferree and Har- shaw sparked the Wildcats 4-1 win over Dayton Kiser which marked up two victories in two starts. An error, a fielder's choice, and a single by Hawken gave the Wildcats their first run. In the third in- ning another error and two singles was good for the second tally. Two more runs were added in the seventh by Roberts, Pettigrew, and Wright. Kiser scored without a hit by a walk, passed ball, wild pitch and an error. A 7-3 decision over Columbus West, played at Columbus on April 13, chalked up the Wildcats third straight win of the season with southpaw Dick Fern holding the Cowboys to four bingles, two of which were on the puny side. The Wildcats drop- ped their only loser to Middletown in the first half of a twin bill at the Munipal Stadium on April 28. Harshaw and Ferree bowed to the Middies allowing a score of 7--1. But Fern came bustling back in the second half to grab a 5-1 triumph. The Spring- fielders outhit Middletown 9-5. Each team com- mitted a pair of errors in each game. Roosevelt at Dayton on the 30 was defeated by Springfield for its fifth victory by topping Dayton in a 3-1 score. Fern humbled Columbus West 5-2 with his out- standing one hit performance. On May 2 at the Stadium the Cowboys were handed another defeat by the Wildcats with Roberts, Pettigrew, and Haw- ken the stickwielders for the Wildcats. Williams gathered the lone bingle for the Cowboys. Errors led the Dayton Kiser Tornadoes to a 6-1 down- fall on May 4 at South Side field. Tommy Ferree had mastered his curve ball too well to suit the Kiserites and as a result of the short 415 inning game they had zero to the Wildcats ten. Spring- field collected 5 runs in the first inning and 5 in the second while F erree fanned four Tornado bats- men, walking none. Roberts, Pence, and Pettigrew set the batting pace while Clark banged out the longest hit of the day, a triple which accounted for two runs. The Wildcats wound up their successful season with a 4+1 victory over Dayton Roosevelt May 8, at the Municipal Stadium. The Wildcats scored in the first inning with a cheap run. Rinker was safe at first by first baseman Baker's error but was forced at second by Roberts. Wright walked, Dick Pence's fielder's choice sent Roberts to third. He scored on a wild pitch. Pettigrew's double and Yoder's hit into right field plated another marker for the Cats in the fourth. Hawken and Pence scored the final pair by another double of Petti- grew's. 1945 Baseball individuals: Charlie Roberts, cj: Dick Pence, 1.bg Carl Parrill, s.sg Tom Fer- ree, p: Dick Fearn, 17: Arthur Gueth, pg Bob Hawkins, l.fg Wayne Yoder, s.sg Bill Wright, cg Don Rinker, 2. b. --if 142,l5 a r .

Springfield High was erased from competition in the Southwestern District baseball tourney Friday through a 4-2 defeat by Dayton Parker at Kuhns Field. Although outhitting the Parker nine, 7 to 6, the Wildcats failed to display the head-up brand of ball that has characterized their play this season, and allowed Parker to tally a pair of unearned runs that really meant the ball game. A single by Dwyer and a pair of infield outs plated a Parker tally in the first. A hit batsman, an in- field error and Hawk's safety added another in the third. The Wildcats picked up one in their turn in the third on Fern's single and another by Don Rinker and a fly to the outfield. Dayton added another in the fifth on Rinkerls bob- ble, a sacrifice and a wild pitch to lead 3 to 1 and the Cats, still fighting, plated their last marker in the sixth on a single by Charles Roberts, a pair of in- field outs and Ralph PerricreW's safety. The Gem City nine tallied one it didn't need in the seventh on blows by Walters and Dwyer. Hurler Dick Fern rapped out two for two to pace the Wildcats while Lefthander Dwyer duplicated for the winners. , .ku as f fw-Nagy '?3i??ff2fEY f Q7 ,4 .,.. Q--N f ,g -,-'X yr-:, fl ..

Going to the game to-night. Jim? 'When that welcome bell rings at 2:45 and there's a mad scramble for books and coats. such queries as those above echo throughout the halls of SHS. VVhat's more. the answers most generally are. Sure you bet! The Club referred to is none other than the 2:45 Club which was established in March 1945 exclusively for the high-schoolers in the city of Springfield. The Co-Operative Club of the YMCA is the sponsor. but the affairs of the canteen are managed by a Board of Dir- ectors elected by the members for a term of one year. Mrs. Carl Schroeder, the club's charming and popular hostess. very capably keeps things running smoothly. The main attractions of the 2: 45 Club are the jitke box and the fine floor for dancing. Al- though attractive murals. done by some of the more artistic students, give an effective touch to the walls. the space on the end wall is crowded with names of the club members writ- ten in their own handwriting. In warm weather. a patio opening off the main room is a favorite spot. Another highlight is the fully equipped soda fountain where students may buy soft drinks. sundaes, and candy bars. Both basketball and football games are ar- dently supported at Springfield High School by the student body and also by many sports enthusiasts interested in the contests of the Gold and Blue. The morale of the team is very much raised by ear-splitting cheers, ably led by a fine group of cheerleaders, and the solid numbers played by the band. During half-time some sort of entertainment, such as band music or grade-school basketball games, is provided. At these athletic events, there is exceptional spirit because of whole-hearted in- terest shown in such activities. Friday nights find many high-school students going to the YWCA for dancing from eight- thirty to eleven-thirty. This club is called El Sombrero, but is popularly known as El Som. As the name implies, the club room is furnished in the Mexican style, using large sombreros as decorations. Essential to school life are dances either sport, informal, or formal. A tired gym becomes a new place when gayly decorated for a dance given by some organization or club. Although most of the dances are sport or informal, the formal dances in the Yuletide season and dur- ing the spring are eagerly anticipated and turn out to be gala occasions attended, just as the sport and informal dances are, by a majority of the students. One of the most beautiful traditions at Spring- field High School is the annual Convocation held in the fall at Evans Stadium. The whole student body and faculty gather in the stadium at eight o'clock in the morning for this im- pressive ceremony which is opened by the reading of the Scriptures. Following this, the choir sings a few selections. The highlight of the occasion is focused upon the outside speak- er who has his topic on some phase of youth and its importance to-day. Dances are an indispensable part of school life. Large lines form at lunch time in the school cafeteria. 1 Bi .-P -2 S, 5 i.-1-,...,,,,,. V ,-9-. - .e-,, X .1-X ,A-g - L,--. if -Y 1.

This page well ill- ustrates two successful and entertaining plays, and a beautiful and realistic Christmas play. The Christ- mas play was given at a student assembly, but the other two were staged for the public. Letters to Lucerne was an all-school play pre- sented in the spring of 1945. Its plot dealt with World War II. The June class of 1945 produced It's All in Your Headf' a comedy. The Christmas play of 1945 again depicited the beautiful and stirring Christmas story.

Anyone with the will and ability could try. Those who weren't lucky enough to be chosen, enjoyed the per- formance from the audience among t.he student body and their friends. JUNIORS HAVE SHOW Sunshine Twins, the 1945-46 junior class play, provided one more entertaining place for the high school population to go. OUT TO LUNCH Oh! Good!! Hurray!!! Hal- lelujah!!!!

Many teachers have returned from the wars and enough veterans have enrolled to make a good-size home room. In the picture at the bottom, Mr. Rone- mus, a returned teacher, presents a math lesson to a class of returned veterans. THE BAND IS IMPORTANT The Springfield High School Band is one of the most important features of SHS. A new feature of the band is the group of four majorettes. Prior to this year there were no majorettes. The band practices forty- five minutes every morning. They play at the football and basketball games and also ive cancers. The band is under the direction of Mr. Philo Botsford. This scene shows the band marching at a football game. ART IS ENJOYED BY ALL An activity engaged in by many Springfield High students is art. Under the direction of Miss Ullom with . 4 X. the students study art and many have their work hung in local art exhibits. xx 'I'QDAY'S YUUTH PREPARES To Make Friends Through Advertizing 4'It pays to advertisef, Everybody knows that. How else could manufacturers and merchants sell such great quantities of material at mod- erate prices? After all, there can be no demand for an unknown article, and only a limited de- mand for an article which is not widely recog- nized. But also, through advertising, the com- panies can extend their good will to the public. For that reason the Springfield advertisers have devoted their advertisements to good will and emphasize their wish to serve the public. Yearbook students at SHS design and write these good will advertisements for Springfield merchants. First the yearbook student must design a picture and have it taken. This in- volves assembling the special stage properties and students who are in the picture at a definit time and place so that the picture can be taken on schedule. Otherwise, the two hundred pic- tures taken during the first semester would be so delayed that the yearbook could not go to the publishers in time to meet the March deadline. After this has been accomplished the hardest job begins. This consists of gathering infor- mation about the company and writing the copy to fit the picture. Then the picture, the copy, and the contract for the advertisement are placed in a folder and presented to the yearbook teacher. If it is satisfactory, the advertisement is taken to the advertiser for approval. Only one or two are ever rejected, and they are rewritten to fit the advertiser's suggestions. It is because of this cooperation by the Springfield merchants that the advertising section in this yearbook was possible. The advertising in the Annual has changed in the last few years. Formerly the advertise- ments were all type, but now that system has been discarded. This new picture and copy system, just described, has already been given credit by the National Scholastic Press As- sociation and the Columbia Press Associa- tion. The advertising section alone is one of the chief reasons that the three preceding year- books have received All American awards. Dramatization in advertising has come and is here to stay. Due to the awards received by the yearbooks, many letters have arrived from all over the country to ask what we are doing and how it is being done. Now local advertisers seek us to portray their work and write copy for them. The advertising section could easily grow to one-hundred pages instead of the fifty we now have, if we so desired.

With the holdovers, lVIrs. Pearl Wilkerson, Mr, Urban Hidy, and Mr. Edward Forrer. this entire group will be faced with the problem of spending wisely the 553,582,000 bond issue voted for the purpose of improving the conditions of the city schools. Always listening to the wise counsel of interested citizens, the Board was more than willing to tell the Greater Springfield Association that their bond issues for improving the deplorable conditions that existed in the city schools, had their united support. Following the passing of the bond issue in November, the Board hired the best research experts available for a school survey. The Greater Spring- field representatives have been active in combined meetings with the Board and the research experts. New grade buildings are planned, repair work scheduled for other buildings, improvements in the high school listed, and better squipment to make old buildings more modern has been suggested. No new building or repair con- tracts have been let, up to press time of the 1945 Wildcat: but before the summer of 1946 is over, work on better and greater Springfield schools will have been started. It may take three years to obtain in reality all the plans tor school improvement that are now only in the embryo stage. Preudeny ,- lVIr. M. Kellerman Mrs. M. P. Sheridan Mr. R. L. Rewey Mr. E. L.

PROBLEMS' How many evenings have been spent slaving over horrible geometry problems, trying this way, then that way, all to no avail? Even the master minds were not able to solve them any faster. Gazing at geometric solids, drawing lines, constructing figures, and doodling helped some. After the problem had been read through about five times, the light finally began to dawn. It was solved in short order. The trouble was that there were four more problms to do. Oh, do them tomorrow. But what of the problems of the future? They cannot be worked out in one night or put off until tomorrow. Entrust these problems to Wallace and Company, the dependable insurance firm.

The Springfield High School Cafeteria serves many of the students with good, wholesome food every school day. Fresh, flavorful meat and vegetables in the hands of expert cooks make a combination that is hard to beat. All good food will spoil, and to prevent this, it is necessary to use ice and cold storage. Neither in the cafeteria nor in the home can food be served that is not altogether wholesome and fresh. The Home City Ice Company helps the people of Springfield preserve their food. The modern, convenient cold storage lockers at the Home City Ice Company are very de- pendable and sanitary. So remember, for ice and cold storage lockers, the Home City Ice Company is the place to go. The Home City Ice and Locker Company 1100 WEST MAIN STREET SPRINGFIELD OHIO What' Cooking?

That is definitely a great honor-to be set among the hard-won plaques' From these folks' expressions the Annual is considered just as highly among the school accom- plishments as the trophies. Please note the good-looking covers. This is the main reason for these two people's smiles. Much time and deliberation is spent in designing these year- book covers. Color quality and design must be very carefully considered in the planning of the cover. If it werenit for the David J.

As a result, a great deal of work has fallen to the already busy superintendent and to the principal. By the approval of the bond issue at the general election in November, additional and tremendous responsibility has been placed on the office of the superintendent of schools. This fund of over three million dollars will permit construction of new school buildings as well as repairs on and additions to the old ones. So that Springfield schools and their equipment may be planned to make possible the most desirable program of education, the Board of Education has employed the Bureau of Research of the Ohio State University as educational consultants. In addition to this, the superintendent of schools has appointed fifteen committees who were made up from the staff of the schools and representatives of the Greater Springfield and Clark County Association under whose direction the bond issue was proposed. Special arrangements have been made to accommo- date the veterans. English, mathematics, science, and history are the subjects in which the veterans are interested. Therefore, they have been enrolled in special classes for these subjects. Also, they have been placed in a special division. For the most part, one or two complete semesters in school will fill their requirements for graduation, since they have been allowed a minimum of two credits for service with the armed forces. With the end of the war, many of the teachers who left to serve in the armed forces also returned. In most cases. emergency substitutes have been em- ployed to fill in while regular teachers were in the service. Consquently, the change from war-time to peace- time routine was comparatively easy, since emer- gency substitutes were automatically released with the return of regular teachers. Up to this date, all except three of the teachers who went into the ser- vice have returned. Thus, it is easy to see that the work of the principal and his staff is a very difficult one. For in addition to duties which are largely the same from year to year, constantly, new problems present themselves to be dealt with. During the war, it was the de- parture of students and teachers which created the work by causing vacancies in the faculty and by requiring additional courses that would better pre- pare the boys for their military service. Now, with the return of peace, the Work is of a much more optimistic nature, but is still difficult. X ' A Xxxm 'K . ns-N Homer L. Stevens, A.B.--1Vl.A.

The boys and girls in the chemistry classes of today may shape the destiny of the world of tomorrow. In years past, chemistry has always played an essential part in our daily living. For all our modern conveniences and inventions we are greatly indebted to the work of the chemists. With the invention of the atomic bomb, the age of atomic power now will be a reality in the near future instead of being only a chemist's wild dream. Imagine an automobile so powerful that it can easily attain the speed of one hundred and twenty miles per hour, and so economical that it can run for a month on one cupful of atomic power! When this age comes, there will be a greater demand for faster transportation facilities than there has been in the past. The Silver Motor Freight Company has had an enormous task during the war, rendering efficient service to the nation. Even now they are working night and day to help speed up national reconversion. If and when the atomic age comes, the Silver Motor Freight Company will haul their loads in larger and faster trucks, along super highwaysg forever progressing and helping to build a better world in which to live.

That is one thing most high school boys and girls hate to do. Those cold wintry mornings when it is so warm in between those covers but oh, so cold when you get out from under them. Those are the morning most students like to sleep. From your own ex- periences you realize what it is like to get up when the house is cold or the furnace has gone out. This situation did not affect the two girls above, for they were able to get up and dress in peace and comfort. Their father had already been down in the basement to fire the furnace. Their room was so warm that they didn't even have to stand near the register or light the small gas heater in the room. Why not be like this happy American family and always have your house nice and warm? If you do this, every member of the family will want to get up in the mornings. Of course, to have a warm house, you must have good coal with which to fire your furnace. The place to get your coal is the Burt Street Coal Company. All you have to do is call them on the phone, and they will deliver your order right away. You will like the efficiency and economy that is offered by the Burt Street Coal Company.

That time seems a long way off to students now, but in reality it isn't so far away as some of us may think. For many, the future is only a few years awayg for others it may be longer. But even disregarding time, everyone knows that the future is near at hand. That's why so many people are planning today for the future, making those dreams come true. Many are taking specialized courses in school, making ready for a career after graduationg others are pre- paring for collegeg still others are looking farther ahead to the time when they'll have homes of their very own to care for. Even the young people of today realize that it is essential to plan today for what will come tomorrow. Those who are planning their future homes know, too, that best quality counts.

The stage crew, boys and girls, get to be experts with the hammer and saw. This group helps, not for the glory, but to make the plays turn out successfully. Lumber plays a big part in the activities of the stage crew. Flats, stairs, and many other things need to be built from wood.

Almost everyone has at some time or other started a stamp collection. Stamp collecting is a most enjoyable and profitable hobby. Stamps range in price from nothing to a king's ransom. Thus a stamp which can be had for practically nothing may, in a few years, be worth several hundred dollars. A good col- lector is always on the alert to find a stamp which would be worth a great deal. What avid collector does not know the joy of finding a particular stamp after a long search! He may spend many years searching for some valuable stamp such as the Newfoundland-De Pinedo 1927, overprinted airmail, and then run across it in some unsorted lot of stamps. How pleased he is when he finds it! But there is one stamp that's very valuable that isn't hard to find. That's the stamp of approval Springfield has placed on Holsum Bread. Yes, we of Springfield have done this because we have found the product of the Springfield Baking Company to be of the highest quality, always. Through the many years of serving Springfield, the ever-increasing popularity of the Springfield Baking Company testifies to the fact that Springfielders depend on Holsum for baked goods when they want the best that can be had. Homemakers say Holsum Bread has that smooth, even tex- ture that makes it just right even for those fancy party snacks. The men folk simply rave about Holsum's wonderful flavor, and junior goes for Holsum Bread with jelly. That's the way it is. It seems that everyone in Springfield goes for Holsum in a big way. Remember, every loaf of Holsum is fully enriched according to government standards. Next time you buy, think of the stamp of approval, and gong say bread say Holsum. There's a difference in rea .

There were many boys, however, that were either too young or for some reason unable to fight, who went into the different war industries all over the country. Now that the war is over, reconversion is taking place as rapidly as possible in most of the factories. There will be many returning vet- erans who will take jobs in the factories around their own home towns. These different factories will try to hire as many of them as they can, because they will want to tackle their reconversion pro- blems. Take for example the Allen Tool Division. They are trying to reconvert their plant as fast as they can. Many boys who are being discharged right now may work for such firms as the Allen Tool Manufacturing Division of Wolad Corporation.

There is always that book report on Ivanhoe or the big test in trig for them to be studying. Who could think of anything more exciting than sitting in detention because you forgot to go to guidance class? High school students are always on the go and need more relaxationg therefore, they go to basketball and football games every possible chance during the seasons. But bowling isn't limited to one season, it can be enjoyed the year round. Springfield High has recognized the importance of this sport by in- stituting the Bowling League. This sport has played an important part in school life at SHS and promises to add much more.

L. Fox. Not only is she one of the most important people, but she is also one of the busiest persons of the school. This is shown by the fact that quite often there is a long line of students wait- ing outside of the office to see her. Her duties consist not only of handling all general office routine and secretarial duties, but also of mak- ing the bulletin of announcements which is so nec- essary to keep students informed on club and school activities. If a teacher is absent, Miss Martin must see to it that there is someone to take over that teacher's classes during the absence. Every year she must furnish colleges with all credit transcripts required for graduates to enter college. Also, she must check credits for prospective grad- uates to see that they do notyfall short' of the re- . . , ,, , .flew quired credits. If she finds that a student is lack- ing in credits, it is her job to inform the student so he or she can make arrangements to make up the deficiency. Before the beginning of each new semester, sche- dules must be made out for both students and teachers. This also, is one of her duties. Not only does she make out the schedules, but she also helps to make necessary changes in them during the first weeks of the semester. Some of her other duties include making all required reports, such as the attendance report, checking ab- sence from classes and detention, obtaining person- ality ratings on all students, keeping the files of the students up to date, and cutting stencils for exam- inations and grading period tests. These and many other duties make Miss Martin an essential person in the operating of affairs in Spring- field High School. ff 'J f vs ss llgdsella Martin, secretary to Prin. C. L.

The 2: 45 Club, brought about by the students because of the need for a place to relax and enjoy themselves after school, was made possible by the sponsor- ship of the Springfield Cooperative Club. Located on the first floor of the YMCA building, the 2: 45 Club has had a fine start even though it hasn't seen its first birthday. The students of Senior High are all for it, heart and soul, for what better way can one think of to enjoy himself after school? And speaking of relaxing, there's another sure Way to ease those tense nerves and forget the books awhile . . . Have a Coke! There's nothing you can say that is more friendly than-Have a Coke!

Among the things that must be considered are the idea for the cover, the model to be painted, and the artist who is to paint the picture. Then, after the picture is first painted, it must be reproduced for the printing of the magazines themselves. However, Crowell-Collier has solved these problems and has consistently shown clever and interesting covers for its magazines: Collier's, Woman's Home Companionf' and The American -but the covers are not all that are clever and interesting about these magazines, as any reader will tell you. The articles, short stories, and the cartoons inside the magazines also draw the attention of thousands of readers. Many people would have a much narrower outlook on life and would be much less up-to-date if it were not for the magazines of the Crowell-Collier Publishing Company, available at all newstands.

Alice: Well, if you don't know now you'll have to wait and see! It will be a surprise then. Bob: Who else is going to this, this who-jigger you're having? Alice:9 Oh, Donna and Charles are coming.

The stage is set-party for four at seven o'clock. Look there! The clock is striking seven already, and the guests are arriving. Bob: How about telling me what this Tisdin' is, Alice? Charles: Yes, I want to know, too. Ailce: 'Tll tell you all now, and I'll let you eat it. Donna: Eat it? Alice: Yes, 'cause 'Fisdin' is short for Fish Dinner. Donna: That fish makes my mouth water just to look at it. Bob: '4Come on, Charles, let's take off our coats and pitch in' n Alice: You may all sit down, now. Bob: If I had known this was coming,I would have skipped lunch to save up for tonight. Alice: Will you please pass the fish, Charles? Charles: With pleasure. Steaming butter rolls, salad, relish, creamed lima beans, potato chips, and a delicious fish. What else could one want for a Fisdin besides four good appetites? Is the party a success? What do you think: just look at their faces. There is something else you ought to know about that makes success doubly sure. This is that Alice bought her fish from W. T. Smith Fish Company.

You see them daily on the streets as they pass by with their friends, but later you will see that they are not wearing their service uniforms. No, the boys are anxious to get into those good old civies again with only a discharge button in the lapel to show service experience. These boys have waited long for this moment and want to buy clothes of the best quality in which to reestablish themselves in civilian life.

This equipment, which is no longer needed by local plants, will enable vocational students to be trained with modern machinery, rather than the obsolete equipment with which they have been training for many years. These vocational students follow a two or three year course. During the last year of the course, they are placed in industry and work half of the time and attend school half of the time. The local Springfield firms have, in this manner, gone out of their way to help train these boys and fit them for life-paying them while they are receiving their training. The Patton Manufacturing Company is grateful for the opportunity, which will be given to these boys by the use of modern machinery, and in the future, will welcome many high school graduates into its firm.

Along the busiest throughfares, churches can always be found. What is more restful and comforting than the solitude of a church? On Sunday morning the prayers of the small village churches and those of the large city churches unite for one reason-to relieve the cares of the people for at least a while. The church, in cooperation with Richard's Funeral Home, has helped many people over a period of grief. Richard's Funeral Home has built up a service of trustworthy dependability which cannot be excelled. Richc1rcl's Funeral Home 838 EAST HIGH STREET SPRINGFIELD OHIO Nothing To Wear Oh! That big sport dance was to be on Friday, and at last Jim had asked Susie. She had waited for him to do so for the last week. All of Susie's friends were excited because they, too, were going. Each day brought the dance closer and closer. This dance meant a great deal to the girls, so they wanted everything to be perfect. On Thursday afternoon the girls met at Susie's to talk of what they would wear. But alas! Susie found herself in a predicament sim- iliar to Mother Hubbard's. Her closet was bare of the right thing to wear. After pondering over Susie's problem, one of the girls told her she could- n't miss on her date if she bought a new skirt and sweater. She also said that Phillip's was the place to go, because of their wide selections and reasonable prices. Now Susie's problem was solved, and she was a big success at the dance.

It was rather an old camera, but at least it took pictures. This very morning Johnny had been planning on taking pictures of some of his friends. While he was taking a picture of a school chum, someone called him from behind. Turning around swiftly, he dropped his camera. Everything ruined! Now he won't be able to get any snap- shots for his scrapbook because he has broken his one and only camera. When he went home that evening, he was rather doubtful about mentioning his tragedy to his parents. Knowing that he must sooner or later, Johnny told them at dinner. His father hardly seemed disturbed at all over the accident. He simply told Johnny that since his birthday was only a few days away, he could buy a new camera. This made Johnny very happy because just the other day, he had seen some wonderful cameras in Rapid Photo's window. He realized his tragedy had been in reality a fortunate tragedy. Visiting Rapid Photo, he was astonished to see the wide variety of equipment available, for they were ready to furnish him with Whatever type camera he might want. Big cameras, little cameras, moving picture camerasg almost everything you can imagine. Johnny is a smart boy for looking at Rapid Photo for his new camera, film, and other camera equipment.

Please do not get the idea that this is the type of nut usually worked on by Bauer Brothers. I'm afraid he would not provide very good or very appetizing products. tHe can be glad of that.j Among other things, Bauer Brothers, during peace-time, make mach- chines for pressing, grinding, and pulverizing all kinds of nuts and seeds. Some of the products from these machines include cotton-seed oil, cotton-seed meal, peanut oil, peanut butter, fillers for tooth paste, pulp for paper, card board boxes, wall board, and many other useful products. During the war, they made shells for the Army. At that time they won the Army-E award for excellent Work. So in both war and peace the Bauer Brothers Company is one of the most interesting of Springfield's industries. The Bauer Bros.

Perhaps he couldn't find a shirt to suit him, or, maybe, his tie had a spot on it. And he really shouldn't have stopped to look at the morn- ings headlines. Whatever the cause of the delay, you can see what the result it. Now what does he have for breakfast-a dish of cereal, scrambled eggs on toast, and a cup of hot coffee? No! He'll be lucky to get two bites of toast and half a cup of the now cold coffee. There he goes, streaking out the door like a regular Dagwood. Will he make that bus in time? What will his boss say if he's late again? Whew-got there just as the bus was going to pull away! Saved by the Springfield City Lines! Yes, an exciting life, but it's no fun! Ask Jim . . . he'll tell you that! Oh, but wait, it doesn't all stop there. The driver had to wait longer so that Jim could get on. If a few more people are late this morning, there's a good chance that they will make everyone else late too. All due apologies to the real Jim, he's just portraying a typical character. It's some of these characters, however, who need expos- ing. Sure, Jim Jones, is a good guy. He is us- ually on time. But this was just one of those morn- ingsn when things seem to go wrong, and as Jim says: A fellow can't be perfect. It's up to you, Springfielders, to cooperate and make these little imperfections come as seldom as possible. This way the Springfield City Lines can give you more efficient service. Our buses are one of the most vital parts of a Greater Springfield. Today there are more than three times as many Springfielders depending on the regular services of the buses than there were twelve years ago. Day in and day out, through good weather or bad, the Springfield City Lines maintain depend- able service.

He can play his position better than any- one else in the school. In other words, he must be strong, in good condition, and mentally alert at all times. He should be able to make quick decisions, and they must always be right. But he cannot attain these qualities in the few years that he is in high school. His training began when he was a small boy, and he has been developing through the years. One of the reasons for his alertness and his fine physique is the fact that Citizen's milk has always been in his diet. Citizen's is noted for its body-building strength and vitamins. Citizen's is the best for everyone. Citizen's Dairy Compu ny PENN AND SECTION STREET SPRINGFIELD, OHIO PRACTICING FOR THE REAL JOB!

With this new machinery, along with the old equipment, the boys get actual experience in handling these machines. When they go out into the world looking for jobs, they will have had very helpful experience and instruction in the use of machines.

To hear the clang of the shoes against the iron stake sends a warm feeling of satisfaction through a person. What a thrill a ringer brings to the successful thrower. Boasting of skill is also a lot of fun. Of course, every once in a while, the stake gets up and moves over when the shoe is pitched. It couldn't have been lack of ability. Now and then, two horseshoes land close to the stake, and the distance must be measured. When an instance of this sort arises, im- plements of accuracy are needed.

Would you have shot? When cruel Gessler was ruler of Austria, as the story goes, he forced William Tell to shoot an apple from his son's head to gain his and his son's freedom. What a hard choice to make. It was the chance of killing his son against being a prisoner. Of course William Tell depended on his skill, and, as you well know, the story had a happy ending.

In the black days of December 1941 and January 1942, the people of the world watched the progress of a handful of fighting Americans. Led by MacArthur, they gallantly held off the relentless attacks of the Japanese army on the peninsula of Bataan until utterly exhausted. Now, by the will of God and the leadership of MacArthur, the American flag again waves prouldly over that strip of land. Even in this community there is a famous name.

This proves that SHS students are interested in foreign languages. Since about one-half of the English language is derived from Latin, one should study Latin to have a good understanding of English. Latin is offered for eight semesters but the majority of students take only four semesters. Latin was once the most widely spoken language in the world, and it forms the basis for the Romance languages. Great works of literature have been writ- ten in Latin for almost all great scholars have been able to read and write Latin. This subject is taught by Miss Ruth Fitz, Miss Dorothy Krautwater, and Mr. C. M. Smith. About one-third of the modern foreign language stu- dents in Springfield High School take French. French students not only study French grammar and literature, but they study French geography also. The names of the provinces, their capitals, names and locations of mountain ranges and rivers, and boundaries are included in the curriculum. The courses also in- cludes highpoints in French history, both ancient and current-such things as the beginnings of France, the rulers, the French Revolution, both World Wars, and other points of history. An interesting method of study is used in Springfield High French classes. The students hear French re- cords in dialogue and music. The records aid them in pronunciation and the ability to speak. A Latin Class studying Roman, con- structions ancl weapons. Listening to French records. a method of instruction in Springfield High French classes. Miss Dorothy Krautwater B. A.

In this study, they not only learn the grammatical constructions of Span- ish, but also make a cultural study of all the Spanish speaking countries of Central and South America. This study includes their past history and present day political problems. To supplement. this survey, the students have sub- scribed almost one-hundred per cent to a four page publication entitled El Eco from which they get many interesting facts and stories of modern living in South America and Spain. Although the study of the German language was dis- continued in many schools during the first World War, fortunately such has not been the case in most of the schools today. Instead, a growing interest has been aroused in some of these schools and more students have become enrolled in the German classes. The German classes in Springfield High have pro- gressed quite well, Lately the students have been reading about some of the old legends and customs of Germany. In these stories references to many of the now war-torn areas are made, and students wonder if those places of scenic beauty so well described, will ever be restored. Spanish students study points f interest in Spain. Relics and reference maps are 91 amined by German class. Miss Ruth Fitz B. A.-M. A. Wittenberg Columbia Mrs. Nina Ladd B. A.-M. A.

Is it essential for the efficient operation of any busi- ness to have skilled and dependable office workers. In order to meet the demands of business in a Greater Springfield, Springfield High School has placed considerable emphasis on commercial training in school. At present there is a staff of ten competent instructors teaching commercial courses to some five hundred students in Springfield High. Included in the Commercial department are classes in typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, business arithmetic, commercial law, and office practice. The typing and the shorthand classes are divided into two general groups. The two year academic or regular course is for those who want general training in stenography, while the three year vocational course is for those who want specialized training in this line. This year the course in bookkeeping has been expanded to include income tax and social security tax. In the class studying office machines, students quickly learn to opperate efficiently, machines such as calculators, bookkeeping machines, mimeographs, and dictaphones, which may appear at first to be an unfathomable maze of complex machinery. Stencil cutting and the care of dictaphone cylinders before and after using are also taught. It will be of great importance for students contemplating a commercial course to note that almost all advanced typing and shorthand students are assured of a good job. Even while still in school, a great many hold part time jobs in Springfield businesses by going to school in the mornings and working in the afternoons. The head of the commercial department assists students in finding both part time and summer jobs while in school and full time jobs after graduation. Keeping up with the times and the demands of a better Springfield, the commercial department received this year a new dictaphone set and has on order new bookkeeing machines, dictaphones, and typewriters, with the latest improvements, Mr. Edmond Whites Typing Class at Work ' f MF? ,g...,..,.

Boys and girls alike are eager to study the wonders of nature in lab- oratory and in class. Fourteen classes are being held in bio- logy. These students are learn- ing the parts and functions of living matter. In laboratories the pupils are examining model eyes and ears or study- ing bacteria with microscopes. Have you ever noticed a peculiar odor in the third floor hall? That is a sure sign that the future chemists have invaded the laboratory and are busy mixing chemicals, and experi- menting with different processes. Under the watchful eye of the teacher they are delving into the deep secrets of the structure of the atom and the universe. The sounds of tuning forks and the ringing of bells are often heard in the physics lab- oratory. Trying to prove Newton's laws or working out problems is all in a day's work for those students. Since movies are used to better illustrate important points, the sciences are rapidly becoming very popular subjects due to the increase in class interest and the ability to understand more fully the subject in hand.

Courses such as geometry, trigonometry, and higher algebra are in reality junior college mathematics. If one is planning on following a course in college requiring mathematics, no better back- ground could be attained than in the classrooms of Spring- field High. The theory of mathematics, as one knows it today, was created by the Greeks about 600 B.C. Under Thales, the famous Greek math- ematician, the study of the plane figure, in reference to geometry, was inaugurated. From this modest beginning in 600 B.C. math- ematics has been developed so as today it is impractical to live in a progressive nation such as the U.S. without some knowledge of mathematics.

Wittenberg INDU TRY Pattern Making, Drafting, The Industrial Arts Education may be considered more or less an ex- perimental course for those boys who expect to go into the industrial field upon completion of their high school educationg but who do not wish to concentrate on any one line of in- dustrial work while they are in high school. The boys who choose this course take up many phases of in- dustrial work. This includes draft- ing, pattern making, foundry, mach- ine shop, and sheet metal work taught in class rooms or labora- tories equipped with the newest. most up-to-date machinery and tools. Handling, proper use, and care of all equipment are demonstrated and em- phasized at all times by competent and alert teachers. Upon graduation, Industrial Art stu- dents usually begin their appren- ticeship in some skilled trade if they are interested in industrial enter- prises. The education received in this course prior to graduation gives the student enough background to choose intelligently the field which he wishes to be his life's profession, Many College Preparatory students. who expect to enter the engineering field, find that time spent in the ln- dustrial Arts Department proves to be extremely valuable upon entering college. There the courses are found to be only more advanced than the ones received at Springfield High School. Springfield, being in the heart of the industrial region of the United States, offers unlimited opportunities for graduates of this particular course. The vocational pattern making course has one important aim in view. It prepares students for in- dustry by teaching them the art of making patterns from wood, metal, and plaster. The patterns are used in foundries in order to make cast- ings. Pattern making requires a large degree of manual skill and dexterity. The boys must also be able to read and translate blueprints into perfect patterns. Springfield Industry gladly welcomes boys grad- uating from this course. NEEDS SKILI. Machine and Foundry Work Industry of tomorrow depends much upon the youth of today. With this slogan in mind, the foresighted boys of the Department of Trade and In- dustrial Education are moulding their future to meet the ever increasing demand for skilled workers. Becoming a skilled mechanic, elect- ing drafting or aircraft engine work, choosing pattern making, selecting foundry, machine shop, or sheet metal work are many skills from which students might choose. Sel- ecting one of these they spend much time in intensive training, learning that particular skill. In addition to his trade training the student re- ceives a good general education which includes English, history, mathematics and science. The last year of his high school education is spent co-oping in in- dustry, alternating four weeks in school and four weeks in some local factory. For their work in the fac- tory they receive the standard wage while learning by actual experience. Generally, the boys continue to work with the same company with whom they co-oped after graduating from high school. 451 X sg: f, l vtj, Scene in the Wood Shop Mr. Alfred Voris Mr. Joe Kaufman Cincinnati University Cincinnati University Mr. Clarence Ober Mr. Herman Seamen Wittenberg Wittenberg, Ohio State ' .gk ' J Ay PJ' vi., ., 3 L? yi. :JW ' lyk' a V 'S Lids . gg, if--.

The girls also sew for the Red Cross and other worth-while organ- izations. In this, the first peace-time year in many. more and better materials are available for the girls to work with. In the sewing room are two looms, a large and a small one fCircleJ on which the stu- dents weave material for their use. The girls make suits, blouses, skirts, and dresses as well as learning how to knit their own sweaters. The cooking is done in room 112 in the southwest corner of the building. Here the students in Home Economics have the best equipment and materials that are available. Almost any desired dish can be prepared in this up-to-date classroom under the guidance of a good counselor, The girls also study the principles of good nutrition in the diet of the daily meals. . .s Girls find that strenuous exercise helps to fight classroom fatigue H ulth Represent W alth For Students Who Prepare for Greater Springfield Here in Springfield Senior High School. physical education is a MUST in the curriculum of all high school graduates. The physical education classes are designed not only to create healthier students, but to act as a form of recreation for the studious person who sits quietly in classes all day and needs some period of exercise. Gym classes are not all calisthenics as many people would imagine. Most of the gym class is spent by the students playing basketball or an organized game of volleyball or dodgeball. These games which they participate in help to produce teamwork and co-operation. Gym is required for only three years for the boys, yet many of them volun- tarily take gym during their senior year just for the recera- tion which they get from it. Healthy people. who have practiced health in the physical education classes of high school, will make better and stronger citizens for tomorrow's greater Springfield. The citizens best fit to fill the positions of competent leaders and organizers will be the healthy people who have a regu- lar schedule of recreational exercise which they follow iaithlully. The students of Springfield High School will not need to worry about a lack of health if they practice daily the tundamentals for healthy living which they re- ceived from their physical education classes in high school.

Wittenberg 'l'ODAY'S YOUTH PREPARES For Greater Responsibilities By Classroom Participation Never before in the history of education have students gone forth who are as well prepared for life as those who will graduate in 1946. In these days, when life is so complex, it is even more necessary than before for a pupil to learn to adapt himself to present-day conditions. Springfield High School offers various well- planned courses to suit the needs of each in- dividual, whether he intends to enroll in a college or take up some trade. Many subjects, such as current history, economics, and speech, included in the curriculum will make for better citizenship and will aid in the development of a greater community. Pupils taking current history, a course open to those who have had American History, study both national and international affairs. Closely related to this subject are the forum classes which broadcast weekly Junior Town Meetings about some current issue. Through both of these one becomes acquainted with the events taking place from day to day which affect his daily life. The distribution of wealth and busi- ness throughout the world as studied in econo- mics enables teen-agers to understand more clearly the problems confronting the world. Important in equipping students for great- er participation in affairs of the community is speech. By means of speech essential qualities are developed such as effective organization of ideas, self-assurance, and clear enunciation. Sports and other extra-curricular activities also promote good citizenship. Participation in activities increases good judgment, responsi- bility, poise, and self-assurance, ability to make quick decisions, and sportsmanship. Through these subjects and activities in Spring- field's well-organized and efficient school sys- tem, one can see how well youth is prepared to cope with the issues which will immediately face them after graduation. Although many know exactly what they will do, others, be- others, because of present conditions, are Won- dering vvhat the future holds for them. Even though the past few years have been the most difficult in which to go to school, students look forward to graduation. For three years students know exactly what they will do, they have taken required and elective sub- jects to fulfill their requirements. And now graduation, that long aimed-for goal, is very near. ' In many instances, graduates will have jobs waiting for them in offices, stores, and factor- ies, while others will go on to college. How- ever, still others will not know what to do. Perhaps, they had planned to go to college, but having failed to get their applications in before the colleges were filled, these people are compelled to wait until later. Yet, even though these situations seem almost impossible to solve at first, youth will work out solutions to suit their own individual needs, for they have learned to think for themselves and at the same time to co-operate with others. Classroom discussion tends to broaden the students' By means of thorough education and through careful lnowledge of the subject. preparation youth becomes better citizens. 14:-,X ,en ,- i YJ' N ., ' . fr? , i.:.g11::?w ? :ge 5 3, 1, 4 1 Iv ,sl K if K L. w ,if V' YW' . .. . 1'5j,1.-11 G+. ,. .

Time to recall old memories, hopes, old friends. It's a little sad. isn't it, when you think back over the years and remember old friends out of sight and sometimes, though unintentionally, a little out of mind for so long? Remember what a bang-up job Art Clarke used to do at cheer-leading? He was really tops, not only in cheer-leading, but in anything he did-playing the violin, presiding at club meetings, keeping up studies, not to mention being president of his class. tPlug-That was my class too, you know.J Oh, yes, let's see, who were t.he rest of the officers? Now I remember: Carl Forrester was the vice president. By the way, he certainly was a good one in that class play, was he not?-Red shirt and yellow tie plus a back-on-the-farm accent. Ah, now for the more alluring part of the official family- the. secretary and the treasurer. Eloise Holiday, the class scribe, doesn't require much painful thought to recall. Not to brag or anything, but it was quite an honor to have the Homecoming Queen a member of our class. If I remember rightly, she was active in dramatics, wasn't she? She also had a mighty worthy record in Star and Chevron credit. Come to think about it, we had a pretty swell treasurer, too. Cleo Hanes was certainly worthy of the honor, with her participation in so many school activities. It seems to me I used to see her working at the dean's office quite often, and she was vice president of Student Council for two years. Well, I've certainly been filling your ears with my memories, haven't I? I guess I deserve to hear an account of your illustrious class. Illustrious is right, you've set my mind at work and it seems to me we had a class not to be snickered at. Of course, I wouldn't think of bragging-it would be below a member of the class of '46. tSorry-I just had to say it.D Even though our original president, Jack Sanders, had to leave for the service, he left a wonderful record in sports, being a football letter-man as well as a participant in other activities. Fortunately this vacancy was able to be successfully filled by Dick Archer with Phil Kepple coming into the place of vice president. It was too bad Jack had to leave, but Dick stepped into place and made a super president. Not only was he class presi- dent, but he was end man in Under the Big Top. He was always active in the clubs he participated in and in t.he Choir. Remember how they used to crack jokes about Phil Kepple being president of just about everything? It wasn't just a joke, either, because he was president of three clubsg and that is quite a job for one person. Junior Town Meetings and debate took a lot of his time, too. Then I remember his being in at least one play and in the Big Top. Say now, I mustn't forget our other two officers in my remi- niscing. Carolyn Edwards, the secretary, was another worker in Town Meeting groups. Along with this, she belonged to quite a few school clubs in which she oftentimes served as an officer. When she was a senior, she became a member of the Executive Board. 'Barbara Rewey, treasurer, was another example of those who really worked hard for 'the school. Her yearbook work, work in dramatics and in. choir, and other school activities certainly proved that statement. All these high school recollections have made me wish those days were back again-a true. sign of age. Well, Illl see you again. I wonder if Art will still be good for a cheer, for old- at the reunion. It will be swell to see all our classmates time's sake. -' 34 The Senior Class of 1946 if ,- f- v ,zz 1 Q ,, . , . by ' 9 swf' l as 1 for 4 ul' 4 4 PAUL E.--lHenryJ College Prep: German 3. 4: ADDIS, ROY -Aircraft Engineering.

With cheers led by the new girl cheer leaders, the spectators boosted the morale of the team.

A ai' rf Ei N2 Q 'r 5 1 - 'l'0DAY'S YOUTH PREPARES By Organizing Clubs Which Are Character Building Phileirenean Todayf' English Club Mon- day, Latin Club 312, are but a few of the signs adorning the walls of SHS rooms. These cards announce the fact that there is a meeting of that club, and all members should come for a good time. These organizations are for the benefit of the entire student body. Language clubs and science clubs offer the willing student more knowledge and better understanding of the subject with plenty of fun in the process. These clubs and societies are under the direction of the teachers of the various departments. For instance, the Ger- man Club is under the capable direction of Mrs. Dolores Carlisle, who in cooperation with a student program chairman, plans and presents very interesting and educational programs. The same is true for the twenty or more such organizations that function in the afternoons after the regular school hours. Mr. Ralph Stickford, general club supervisor, stated, High school clubs serve as an outlet for students to exhibit their ability to organize and operate a club under capable supervision. Pupils ingenuity and originality are tested in their search for their presentation of programs. Their ability to show co-operation with others and to exercise self-expression is given more opportunity in the club room than in the class room. Football, basketball, track, baseball, all, are included in the extra-curricular activities that make a high school an enjoyable place to spend three years of oneis life. Springfield High School is indeed fortunate in having some very fine coaches and physical directors. ' Musical groups? Naturally, Springfield High School has some of the best. The various choirs and choruses under the direction of Miss Ella Gaver are among the top singing groups in the state. These organizations sing for many school assemblies and outside func- tions during the year besides the semi-annual vesper services presented in cooperation with the orchestra. The band, a magnificent ninety-four piece in- strumental group, is led by Mr. Philo Bots- ford. In their colorful gold and blue uni- forms, the band is present at all football and basket all games, parades, pep rallies, and other civic activities. Conducted by Mr. Richard J. Stocker, the High School Orchestra plays for all dramatic pro- ductic-ns and special shows. This group plays for graduation exercises, and many assemblies. One of the most interesting functions of a modern high school is the publications. The Herald, Mentor, and Yearbook are the big three. The Herald comes out every two weeks and is full of feature stories, gossip, bits of news and ads. The Mentor is a semi- annual publication of essays, short stories, and poems. The Yearbook, or annual, is put out at the end of the school year and contains pictures and articles of the life and activity about SHS. 4 a --fy,-51 4 -.A,,-.g.- ,.,-f-V. -r'f'zf---..-',.- .- .. .

CHOOSES 28 MEMBERS From All Candidates Who Moy Be Chosen The history of the National Honor Society is comparatively new in Springfield High School as the whole organization is only three de- cades old. With the growth of public high school education came the need of stress on development of scholarship in the schools. The first high school honor society originated in Chicago in 1903. and because of the suc- cess of this society, i.n 1919 a national meeting of principals voted for a national society such as this one. After plans were made. a nat- tional council was established as a guide for the society. The first name of the organiza- tion was The American Torch Society, but it was changed later to the National Honor Society, of Secondary Schools. Since its beginning in 1922 the organization has become increasingly larger. At present the membership of the National Honor Society is over 250,000 students. There are chapters in all the states, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippines. Most of the chapters of the society have membership as their only fun- ction, but in later years some chapters have taken part in activities of many kinds. To have more groups participate in society acti- vities of many kinds. To have more groups participate in society activities is desired in order to increase interest in the organization. The motto of the society is Noblesse Ob1ige which means freely that a person's obligation to society is based on his natural gifts. That is, if a man is endowed with great abilities, he is indebted deeply to society. The letter C on the emblem represents character. S- scholarship, L-leadership, and S-service One must have all four altributes to become a member of the organization. Knowledge and its importance in life are symbolized by the torch and keystone. The National Honor Society in Springfield High School began in 1939 when a faculty coucil composed of Miss Anne Haeseler. Miss Christine Hume, Mr. Clarence Smith. and Mr. Robert Rolfes met to draw up the con- stitution. The charter was granted by the National Council and is now hanging in the pricipal's office. To be chosen for membership is a great honor for a student. The membership of the society cannot exceed 15 per cent of the graduating class, therefore, a member must be in the upper 15 per cent of his class in character. scholarship, leadership, and service, and he must have an average of at least 85 per cent in academic subjects. He must also hold membership in two extra curricular activi- ties. Members are chosen then according to rank in these qualifications. The judging is done by eight members of the faculty-four teachers of academic subjects, two club spon- sors, and two homeroom teachers. During opening period of the morning before the initiation cermony a trumpet sounds, and a member of the society enters the homeroom and notifies each initiate who has been sel- ected for membership. Parents of t.he ini- tiates are invited to attend the initiation, which is held in the school auditorium. The ceremony is very impressive. The par- ticipants, principal, Regent of Honor, Torch- bearer, Herald, Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service are robed in bright colored satin gowns. These stations are filled by persons who excell in each field. After a brief address given by the principal, each participant indentifies and explains his sta- tion. Then the new members are taken into the club. Membership in the National Honor Society is the highest honor to be attained in Springfield High School. fr 1 to Q 1 Q b' t S l , I Y 1 C' Paul Aldrich Allen Ansevin Shirley Barnes Ruth Birch Henry Deihl I , ' N .t - .. - Q at , , , tx ti Zi.

L. Fox and the leadership of its president, John Henderson, the Executive Board makes up a very important part of school govermnent. This Executive Board stems from the student body itself. First, the president and the vice- president of each homeroom is a member of one of three councils: Sophomore Boys' Council, under Mr. Sanders, Junior-Senior Boys' Council, under Mr. Young, and Girls' Council, under Miss Hume. Then the officers of these Councils in turn are made members of the Executive Board. In this way, every part of the student body is represented. Problems brought up in the respective councils are presented at the meetings of this Board. These are discussed and solutions are Worked out. Also, they present recognized problems which are then taken by these members to the various Councils mentioned before. Through the Council members the facts are taken back to the original body. By a system of school government such as this, stu- dents are trained in the ways of democracy. When they advance to the community govermnent and the national government's regulations and laws, they will be acquainted with democratic procedure and will therefore be better fitted to serve as good citizens of the community and nation. EXECUTIVE BOARD: Seated: Marilyn McKenzie, John Henderson, Dick Wysongg Standing: Jack Laughner, Nancy Pendleton, Marilyn Anderson, Frank Davis, Carilyn Edwards, Principal Fox, Jack Hanna, Ruth Smith, Harry Schmidt, Marsha Moellering, Barbara Rewey, Merrill Freed, and Dick Phillips. TUDENT Better High Schools This year a new Constitution for the Student Council was studied and adopted by the vari- ous councils including Executive Council, Junior-Senior Boys' Council, Sophomore Boys' Council, and Girls Council. Accord- ing to this new Constitution, persons are eli- gible for membership in the councils if they are passing three major subjects if they have a high moral character show qualities of lead- ership and a willingness to serve the school. Each division has a representative in Boys' Council and Girls' Council or in the case of an all girl or all boy division, one member in that particular council. In homerooms consisting of both boys and grils, if the presi- dent is a boy, the vice-president must be a girls or vice-versa. The duties of members consist merely of tak- ing the will of students to the councils and also taking the will of the councils back to the students. In addition to the above mentioned things, the Constitution provides laws for: election of homeroom officers, function and regulation of Student Council, function and regulation of Student Executive Board, home- coming queen, Boosters' Club, Star and Chev- ron Club, and the Merit System. The Constitution was compiled last year by a committee composed of Norman Wissinger, John Moores, Frank McKenzie, and Beverly Barnes, who, with the approval of Mr. Fox, submitted the Constitution to the Student Council for adoption. Not until this year however was it studied by Executive Council and taken to the various other councils. The studying, revision, and adoption of this Constitution has been the main activity of the coucil groups this year. Junior-Senior Boys' Council, by listening to the undertone of students in school, find out what they like and what they do not like, then take it back to their council for dis- cussion and oftentimes action. The pur- poses and aims of this particular council are to formulate and establish school policies and provide a means for securing improve- ments in the school by student government. If they attend every meeting, Star and Chev- ron credit is given to them. At the first meeting this year the officers for the year were elected. All of the officers did a fine job this year leading the council, which made many recommendaitons and improvements around school. This year the Sophomore Boys' Council has been mainly concemed with the studying and adoption of the new Constitution. There was much discussion and some argument on various parts of it, but on the whole, con- sidering that the Constitution is amendable, the council approved and adopted it. Like the Junior-Senior Boys' Council, the Sopho- more Council discussed similar problems of school spirit, maintaining clean corridors, banishing snowballing around school, and conduct of students at games. The main activity of Girls' Council is the selling of lead pencils and gym clogs. This year the girls sold pencils with basketball and football schedules on them, and also at Christmas time they sold red pencils with Merry Christmas printed on them. These 'sales allow a small profit for Girls' Council work. The principal purpose for selling pencils anl clogs besides giving service to students is to add to the S300 Scholarship Loan Fund which the council sponsors.

ACTIVITIES Considerable Dramatic Ability in Making Play Season Successful Springfield High School is noted for its fine dramatic productions. This reputation is due to the diligent work of Mr. Donovan H. Pearson, the director, assisted by Mrs. Dolores Carlisle. For the past two years the dramatically inclined students have co- operated with them to bring the play productions out on top. This year Springfield High School is also glad to welcome back Mr. Eugene Q. Hoak who has been serving with the United States Navy for the past two years, He has made great plans for the Drama- tic department of Springfield High School. The first big production of which he was in charge of was Under the Big Top. In reviewing the stage productions of the past year, three plays are outstanding. In the school auditor- ium on Friday and Saturday, May 24 and 25, 1945, the senior class presented It's All in Your Head, a mystery comedy in three acts. This play was directed by Mr. D. H. Pearson, assisted by Mrs. Dolores Carisle. In the fall of 1945 the junior class was given a chance to show its talent. Their play, like all the others, proved to be an overwhelming success. They presented a comedy in three acts entitled The Sunshine Twins. This play was also under the direction of Mr. D. H. Pearson. The next class play was given by the senior class on Friday, January 18, 1946. It was a three act farce comedy called Stray Cats. This production was directed by Mr. D. H. Pearson The big spring musical of 1946 was Under the Big Top. This was one of the largest shows ever to be staged by Springfield High School. It ran four nights, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Monday in the high school auditorium. It was a new, streamlined variety show planned as the big event of the year. The costuming was elaborate. It re- quired 900 yards of material. Costumes were also ordered from New York, St. Louis, and Cincin- nati. The Springfield High School band was even complete with brand new circus band outfits. There were fifty clowns on the stage at once. There were also many song and dance novelties, and students dressed up as wild animals. The calliope consisted of boys ranging up to 17 feet in the air. The ring- master was James Smith. The production was directed by Mr. Hoak with Jeanne Wright assist- ing on the dance routines. A new and extensive lighting outfit was purchased for the show, and a revolving stage was used. The music throughout the two hour entertainment consisted of all-time favorites ranging from the music of Sigmund Rom- berg to the current hit-parade tunes. Miss Ella Gaver directed the singing, while Mr. Richard Stocker conducted the orchestra, and Mr. Philo Botsford led the band in the gala musical affair. The dramatic department also lends its talent in various school assemblies. At Christmas time every year the students present the Christmas story in stairring and beautiful scenes. Occasionally other holidays are commemorated by appropriate plays. - ' 1- ' -- 'fc' T' . f . .x . .. .-.pg ..- X . 1 X - .

It took place in a Swiss school for girls just before the be- ginning of World War II. The princi- pal characters were Lore Benjamin, Wilma Gibler, Barbara Smith, George- anne Floeckher, Sue Miller, Harriet Giffin, and Eloise Holaday. The girls represented five different countries. The play was based on the teacher's struggle to keep the hate in the world out of the girls' minds. Other charac- ters were Allan Gould, Frank McKen- zie, Phyllis Blythe, and Ronald Mezger. To bring their sister a lover and their father success was the plot of The Sunshine Twins. John Robinson and Nancy Pendleton played the parts of the twins. Barbara Barth played their sister. Other characters were Merrill Freed, Ronald Mezger, Frank McKen- zie, and Norma Powers. The Christmas play of 1945 was about the birth of Christ. The main char- acters were Elizabeth Raup, Bob Bar- ker, Ronald Mezger, John Robinson, Frances Furry, and Marilyn McKenzie. Three plays presented during the past school year were Letters to Lucerne, The Sunshine Twins, and the Christmas Play.

You might easily have asked that question if you had seen staff mem- bers rushing through the halls from room to room. The answer is-they work! Their first job was to conduct a sales campaign. Tramping from one room to another, the staff suc- cessfully reached its goal. Next the advertising section was taken into hand. Each of the ads re- quired an appropriate heading, picture and copy, which when finished, were sold by the members of the Yearbook Staff and the Journalism classes to the advertiser. Senior pictures were next on the schedule, then division pictures, club action, and group shots, along with the very important theme pictures. The dummy was organized and pictures were identified and sent to the engraving company. Copy for all pages required attention next. This brain teasing, hair pulling task, which drove every staff member slightly crazy, was finally accomplish- ed. All the material was then sent to the high school's own printshop for printing under Mr. Homer Le Fevre's direction. Then at Dayton, Ohio, the pages were folded and bound. The cover, which had previously been selected by the staff, was put on, completing the Yearbook. All that remained to be done was the checking of payments and the distribution of the prized piece of work. 1946 Yearbook Staff: CForegronnd7 Allen Ansevin, Allan Gould, Mr. Oliver Matheny, advisor, fMicldleJ Ruth Birch, Barbara Rewey, Johanne Harkins, Alyce Stone, Joanne Sch- neider, Marilyn Simonsg CBackgronnclD Bruce Tillinghast, Bob Lawrence, John Henderson, Judy Howell, Cindy Ire- lad, Ann Mellinger, Elizabeth Raup, Virginia Phillips.

PRINT QWN ANNUAL Well-Equipped Print Shop ls Key to Yearbook's Success Without the Springfield High School print shop it would be impossible for the Wildcat yearbook to be given the rating All-A.m- ericanf' Since SHS has its own printing plant, it is able to assemble and print the yearbook much more economically. The Herald, the bi-weekly newspaper, is pro- duced by the Journalism 2 class. This paper, containing four pages, pictures, and advertise- ments, is written by studentsg it approaches problems same as any newspaper would. The Mentor, the Springfield High School literary magazine, is printed twice a year by the boys in Mr. LeFevre's printing class. It is made up of contributions from many of the stu- dents and edited by Miss May Fay's class in Creative Writing. In addition, approximate- ly two hundred forms for the high school and superintendents offices are printed an- nually in the print shop. The boys taking the course offered in the print shop spend two periods a day learning to set type and to run the presses. Some years ago, the journalism students and the faculty advisers of journalism and print- ing purchased a flat bed cylinder press, large enough to print a daily newspaper. A lino- type machine was purchased at the same time. Now everything but folding and binding is done on the yearbook in the school's own print shop. li one were to walk through the print shop, he would see a linotype machine, a cylinder press, three job presses, a power paper cut- ter, a stitcher, and a power paperdrill. The linotype machine is operated by the capable hands of Mr. James Hawthorne, a veteran of many years on this complicated piece of machinery. The cylinder press on which the yearbook is printed is the center of attraction in the shop. Although it is not brand new, you can see the excelent job it does by leafing through your yearbook. The three job presses are for the smaller printing jobs such as schedule cards, corridor permits, and attendance sheets. The power paper cutter, the stitcher, and power paper drill are not as important as the presses and the linotype machine, but are very valuable aids. All things considered, the Springfield High print shop is a well- equiped shop and makes an excellent con- tribution to the record of Springfield High School. These are scenes of typesetting, folding, and print ing as they take place in the school print shop. CHDQI.

MUSIC PLAYS GREAT ROLL IN High School Orchestra Makes Hit as Guest The SHS orchestra under the direction of Mr. Richard Stocker plays a large part in student acti- vities. They entertained the student body with an assembly in the fall of 1945 and one in the spring of 1946. Their pieces were excellently played. In December they participated in a Vesper Concert given by the choir, and during this month the members of the string section played for the Ohio Music Education Association Convention in Col- umbus. They presented dinner music for the ban- quet and later participated in the show. The large musical '4Under the Big Topu in which the high school orchestra played a large part, was given February 28, March 1, 2, and 4, under the direction of Mr. Eugene Hoak. As a special at- traction twelve girls from the string section played a very lovely melody, Play Gypsies, Dance Gypsies. The orchestra is not allowed a minute's rest. On March 17, they presented their annual concert feat- uring selections such as Dance of the Comedians by Smetna, Czech Rhapsody by Weinburger, and Romberg's popular selection New Moon. Twelve string players went to Celveland on March 30 to play in the state-wide string orchestra for National Music Educators Conference. They parti- cipated with approximately 250 other string players under the direction of a symphony conductor from Rochester, New York. They played before 5000 music supervisors from all over the country. On April 12, the orchestra had the honor of being guest players in the Lima Concert. SHS enter- tained the audience for 40 minutes, after which both orchestras joined and played under the direction of the two conductors. On April 26, we returned the honor and were hosts to the Lima group. The band, orchestra, and choir participated in audi- tions held at Wittenberg on April 27, for the Western Ohio district. The solos and small ensembles went to the state finals in May. In June the Orchestra upheld old traditions and played for the Commencement exercises. Mr. Stocker, who came from Framingham, Pennsyl- vania, where his band won school honors, has organ- ized the SHS orchestra on a highly democratic basis.

Individual members of the orchestra have captured many honors. Carl Rubinoff, concert violinist who formerly played with the SHS orchestra, is becoming widely known for his musicg and Jean Gise, the girl with the magic fingers, has played before audi- ences in New York, Cincinnati, and Cleveland. In the past twenty-five years the orchestra has pro- gressed greatly. Formerly it was made up of fif- teen pieces and had very few activities other than playing for the school affairs. However, today the orchestra consists of fifty pieces and a great variety of instruments such as the oboe, bassoon, and the French horn. This year the orchestra is adding a harp to its fine collection of instruments. Then, too, they have taken on many more activities outside the school such as concerts, out-of-town guest appear- ances and auditions, which were mentioned before. Mr. Stocker and the orchestra are quite proud of their achievements.

Not only does the band play classical music but often they may be heard playing such pieces as Stardust, Hawaiian War Chant, and other novelity tunes. Many of these melodies are played at the basketball and football games. Adding new color to the band this year are the four new majorettes. In their attractive costumes and their twirling batons they perform with the band at the basketball and football games. Besides these new majorettes several more girls have joined the band during the past year. One of the bands biggest events of the year is the annual concert. Under the direction of Mr. Philo Botsford, who has been the director of the band for over sixteen years, the band practices long hours in preparation for the big event. The band also aids at certain dramatic productions, convocation exercises, and some assemblies.

This prac- tice, through the streets around the school, made the band a well functioning organization on the football field. For special formations the band went to the stadium on their own time after school and on Wednesday evening. On Friday, March 29 the band presented a concert in the auditorium. Included on the program were Morning, Noon, and Night, an overture by Von Suppe, another overture Castle Ruins by Yoder, and The Kid Grows Up, a novelty by Frangkiser. The Three Trumpteers by Bainum was given a beautiful rendition by Catherine Garrity, Bob Bates, and Jim Ford. Don Moehn presented a trombone solo, The Grenadin by Hardy The Annual Band Festival was held on Friday, May 10, at St. Marys, Ohio. The boys and girls looked forward to this trip with great expectation and were not disappointed. At this Festival marching drill was emphasized, followed by the playing of a mass band made up of all the bands present. A guest conductor led the large organization through the concert. A banquet followed at which everyone enjoyed himself. In the evening the boys and girls had a chance to listen instead of playing. A dance band played for them to dance to and enjoy them- selves after a hard day. The Springfield Boosters' Club sponsored the trip which was very welcome to the band as it gave them a chance to show what they could do and see what others are doing. Some of the band took part in the majestichit, 'tUnder the Big Topf' which was presented Feb- ruary 27, 28, and March 1, 4. In this show the boys were outfitted in various colored circus-band uni- forms. Tiger Rag was given a marvelous rendi- tion. as was a concert piece conducted by Professor Lamborn Jack Hanna.

The choir is made up of boys and girls who are deeply interested in singing and studying music. The choir performs at assemblies, Christmas plays, musical shows, and outside clubs and churches. Besides these, each year the choir also presents a Vesper Concert and a Spring Music Concert to which the public is invited. This year twenty representatives from the high school choir attended Ohio Day, a music festival which was held in Cleveland, and sang in a com- bined choir of 1,500 boys and girls selected from all over the state. The choir also helped support the Christmas play by singing carols which were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Under the Big Top, the mammouth musical circus held in February, presented among the members of the cast sixty people from the choir. Solos, duets, and quartettes were furnished by the choir. The songs in the performance were of the variety type -ranging all the way from Chopin's emotional Polinaise to the Ujivyl' rythme of Hubba-Hubba. Most of the music, however, was chosen from among And as an Extra-Curricular Activity Serve the semi-classical love songs of Sigmund Romberg. With the combined co-operative efforts of the choir, the band, and the orchestra, the musical went over with an unprecedented measure of success, running for four consecutive nights with a packed house each night. In December the choir presented a Vesper Concert in the high school auditorium. That concert proved to be one of the most successful that the choir has ever given. Both religious and classical songs were rendered to an attentive audience by a group of more than one hundred students. Attendance at the concert was of the best. Many people even had to stand in the aisles and at the rear of the auditor- ium to be able to hear the Annual Vesper Concert. This year's choir was the biggest Springfield High School has ever had in its history. The enrollment topped last year's record choir by about twenty persons. Nearly one hundred enjoy themselves by singing church music, classical, and semi-classical songs. The group had a very successful year, and the service which it offered to the school during 1946 has been unsurpassed by any previous choir. Springfield High's wonderful choir owes its success Choir Members: First Alto-Miriam Metz, Martha Tischer, Mary Dolbeer, Myrlene Hagle, Dawn Downs, Pat Duval, Glenna Taborn, Dorothy Burrows, Maryanna Berry, Deloris Flora: Second Alto-Barbara Barth, Janet Sparrow, Pearl Miller, Joanne Crabbe, Laura Christnzan, Jean Ann Miller, Ruth Miller, Magaret Stanforth, Caroline Nighg First Tenor- X .1 A, FOR MANY OCCASION S M To Promote Outside Interest in Music to its director, Miss Ella F. Gaver. Only through her untiring efforts has the choir achieved greatness. She has given unstintingly of her time that this choir may perform its very best for musicals and other appearances. Miss Gaver's early life was spent in the eastern part of Pennsylvania and in Maryland. After at- tending a junior college for girls in Hagerstown, Maryland, she studied music education at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, in which state she became licensed to teach. Since she wished to take up the further study of music, Miss Gaver studied at Wittenberg College. Here she received first the degree of Bachelor of Music and later the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education. In due course she received her Master of Arts degree from Ohio State University. Her first position as a teacher was in the high school at Chester, West Virginia, where she taught music and history. From Chester, she went to Fostoria, Ohio, teaching music through- out the school system. Next, Miss Gaver came to Springfield where she has established this fine choir which holds an excellent reputation in Springfield's musical circles.

'Wa- New CLUB 'rnAlNs MEMBERS MW' First Maiorettes Appear in Springfield High School viyl- rf M Twirler Club Action: First row: Winnie Gebhardtg Second row: Becky Richardson, Martha Glass, Joan Spencer: Third row: Betty Coggins, Marilyn Dawson, Opal Pettigrew, Pattry Kirlcum. Something new at Springfield High! For the first time in the history of the school, majorettes prance down the football field twirling their batons. The sight of the bright costumed girls adds to the splen- dor of the band and produces a gay effect. Not only on the football field have these new drum majorettes appeared, but even during the half at basketball games the girls exhibit their skill on the gym floor. For the purpose of teaching the art of twirling and training future majorettes, the Twirlers' Club was formed. Meetings are held from 8:00 to 8:45 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The girls give up opening period time, which the rest of us used for study, to better their twirling skill. Practice makes perfect is the old saying, and perfection is the aim of the members of the Twirlers' Club. Therefore, much time must be spent in practice. At present there are seven members enrolled in the club: Patty Kirkum, Joanne Jump, Becky Richard- son, Anita Goodfellow, Joyce Foster, Jeral Miller, and Winnie Gebhardt. So far, work in the club has been going according to plan. The girls practiced hard and long for their appearance in the spring musical, Under the Big Top. Beautiful costumes have been ordered for the majorettes and are on the way. In the meantime they have been wearing white shirts and white sweaters. Springfield High School is proud of this new ad- dition and the important part it has played in sports events, and thanks the members of this organization for their moral support. Their work is certainly appreciated by all who have enjoyed their perform- ances. S A N JR.TOWN MEETING 4, 3 4 ' Q 5 if V , f i ::,: r I 3 1 f is X fx X Q 9 5 Q W ' S JE if qi ui? lk ighfii af- !

Unlike many other clubs of the school, the Biology Club has gone outside of the school walls, yes, even outside the 'Lcity walls, to bring a little cheer and happiness to others. The hospitalized soldiers of Patterson Field have benefited greatly from this club. For in- stance, at Thanksgiving time the club sent live pot- ted plants to the hospitals at Patterson Field, giving a great deal of pleasure to the hospitalized soldiers. What would Christmas be without a Christmas tree? This question was posed in the minds of the members of the Biology Club during the Christmas season. So again they pooled their efforts and sent small Christmas trees to the Patterson Field hospitalites. Not wishing to neglect their Alma Mater, the stu- dents in the Club presented to the school a sycamore tree in memory of the former students of Springfield High who gave their lives for their country in World War Il. Their plans for the near future include the preparing of potted plants for hospitalized soldiers of Patterson and also the encouraging of the general public to plant flower and vegetable gardens for the coming summer. The Biology Club is to be congratulated and greatly admired for what they have accom- plished in the past and for what they will accom- plish in the future. T0 S's WCRLD WAR II DEAD Students Hear Talks, and Visit Points of Interest in Springfield In 1930, students interested in special projects con- cerned with Biology organized a club so that they could have access to the laboratory equipment and reference material outside of their regular class time. This year the club, sponsored by Miss Leather- man had a membership of forty-eight students. The aim of this prominent club is to observe more closely the health measures carried out by Spring- field and also to obtain a closer vision of plant and animal life. Being eager to learn new developments in the field of science, they had lVI.r. Eugene Hoak to show colored movies and to lecture on the plants and animals of Hawaii. This gave the members a better idea of plant and animal life of tropical is- lands. They also enjoyed a talk by Mr. J. F. Goebel who is closely connected with the conservation program. Not only does this club have speakers to come to talk to them, but they also visit interesting places in Springfield. This year the members took a trip to Catron's greenhouse to view plants and to learn about the culture and care of flowers. They also visited the Springfield Health Department, where the methods used in vaccination were explained to them. While at the Health Department, the club was also shown the methods of inspecting food, water, and eating places to guard the health of the citizens of Springfield. This group not only makes visits or hears lectures, but they also do much constructive work. This year, as in previous years, the members made ex- quisite little Christmas trees out of barberry and decorated them for the Patterson Field Hospitals. Needless to say, these projects were well worth the time that the members spent on them and did much to cheer the soldiers. The newly planted tree in the yard of SHS is a memorial to the boys of SHS who gave their lives in World War II. As this tree, which was dedicated by the Biology Club, grows, it will always remind the students of the boys who died that clubs like the Biology Club could be continued.
