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.

HISTORY FORUM VISITS IAII. Club Members learn How a Community ls Run and Managed Sophomore History Forum Action: QLeft to righth QSeated at tablet Richard Miller: Jane Baldwin, Allan Rankin, Richard Shank: LStanclingb John Bables.

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.
