T 0 L I N E FOREVVORD. HE PART SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL plays in the Illinois Centen- nial is comparatively insignificant. But to the school itself it is of great importance. For sixty years it has been turning out young men and Women who have been a credit to it and a factor in the building of the state. Today is not a gala day. We are at War. Springfield High School has realized this and has entered into nation Wide activities with a zest generally reserved for football. At this time fifty men who have attended school during the last two years have joined the colorsg more are going daily. Our record of the year in War Work of various other kinds is like that of the nationls at large- Over the Top. The History of Springfield High School when put to the test will stand comparison with that of Illinois. ' We are proud of Illinois, proud of her history during this hundred years. And our ideal is to continue to graduate men and women for the next hundred years, who will be true sons and daughters of Illinois. An Historian must of necessity forego originality in recording human events. The Capitoline is much like a history in that the facts of the year must be adhered to. But We do not believe that a book that is but a replica of the one published the year before is a credit to the class. VVe believe that the manner of telling the story may be changed from time to time and still be highly pleasing. So We have tried to be original. We have curtailed some departments and added to others. Where we have departed from precedent we have done so, believeing that it has been of some benefit to the Capitoline and that We have therefore been justified in so doing. lVe have tried to be artistic. The pleasing arrangement of articles and cuts is of no little importance in the production of a good book. And lastly, We have tried to instill the spirit into this book that is characteris- tically that of Springfield High School-the spirit of true sportsmanship and sincere devotion to a Worthy ideal-a thing to be found beyond the Written page, yet the compelling force that gives unity to an otherwise disconnected series of events. And so We present this volume to you not Without some trepidation it is true, but with the spirit that we have done our best. We hope that We have made it readable even to a disinterested person, end that you Whose last eventful year at S. H. S. is herein recorded will find in it the embodiment of all that this school has meant to you. THE EDITOR. Uv THE, C AP 1lIlIIF.E53lFu iiQ1!EE..i. T 0 L 1 NE CAPITOLINE STAFF. RAYMOND H.

T 0 L I N E IN WHICH VVE ADVERTISE OURSELVES. NUMBER 1. The biology greenhouse is but one view of a very busy place. The laboratories are equipped with Water and gas, and cabinets for specimcnts. In the greenhouse the care of plants under Winter conditions is taught. There too, are a tank of turtles and thingsg and an incubator going full blast. The de- partment has this year been carrying on a campaign of extermination against the barberry, a Weed destructive to grain crops. NUMBER 2. The Auditorium stage is the largest one in the state outside of Chicago. It is about seventy-five feet by thirty-five feet, as wide as the Audi- torium grand opera stage in Chicago and as deep as the Cort Theatre stage. NUMBER 3. This is a scene from the housekeeping suite in the basement. Here We have a model apartment complete, reception hall, living-room, kitchen, din- ing-room and bath. Modern domesticity is the Watch-Word of this department. NUMBER 4. The clatter of keys in the typewriting room seldom ceases. Here are accomodations and equipment valued at 33,500 In addition, the bookkeeping desks in this same department make one think of bank presidents and million- aires. NUMBER 5. The print shop is busi- ness from the word gof, The depart- ment is under a union printer and does the printing for the Board of Education. ,Y H '1 1918 NUNIBER 6. This is the lecture room of the public speaking department. Under the guidance of Miss Wright this department gives promise of great devel- opment in the future. NUMBER 7. The Auditorium balcony presents a long beautiful curve running unbroken from side to side of the room. The total seating capacity of the assembly room is over sixteen hundred. NUMBER 8. This is the lecture room of the Physics department. The capacity is thirty pupils. Each table in the two laboratories is equipped with direct and alternating current, high and low voltage. NUMBER 9. In the old building the chemistry laboratory was a place of evil odor. In the new laboratory which is modern in its equipment, there is a motor driven fan which carries the fumes in the hoods to the outside of the build- ing. In connection with the laboratory is a fine lecture room. NUMBER 10. This is not a Ford fac- tory but the machine shops. Here the students learn to be mighty smiths. Beside other branches of Work in metal, automobile repairing is taught. NUBIBER 11. These are the Wood- shops with an equipment Worth about ftlS5,000, including circular saw, band saw, a planer, belt sander, joiner and lathes all motor-driven. This department has been making this year packing boxes for the Red Cross and game tables for the various cantonments over the country.

ND SO IT CAME to pass that certain gray-clad figures in long procession, two by two, Hled in and took their places amid a mighty clap of hands that was like to the sound of waves. And round about them were the faces of their friends. And they were much moved to think upon the day, for lo! had they not come, as had been foretold, to that promised time, when in the presence of the multitude they should receive the magic parchment, wherein the cunning scribes have writ? One there was among them who sate him down to meditate. His garments shone with purple and fine linen, as befits the raiment of a rich man's son. But over all he had donned, perforce, a robe of coarsest serge, rough, and of the hue of death. A sweat stood upon his brow. And he meditated long upon the law of the scribes and Pharisees. Then he thought upon the history of tribe, and was comforted. Was he not one among many worthy ones? What tribe of all the tribes could boast of greater chronicles? Then he thought upon the time when the tribe was young, fresh and green, as are the meadows over against J ordang upon their goodly numbers, even as much as twelve score and ten, and mighty everyone, and upon the games held within the armory, where the strong men of his tribe did valiant contest with the men of other tribes, and gained more honors than had any of the youngest tribes before their time. And this was in the first year after their coming out of the graded land of darkness. And in the second year they took upon themselves much learning, and became exceeding wise. Again in the spring meeting for feats of strength, they strove more mightily than before, and were surpassed by none, save only the tribe of Senyorai. And when they in turn had reached rank of J unyorai, then were they a mighty tribe indeed. For in that year a famine came upon the land, and there was much crying in high places. And judges of all the tribes stood forth and spake thus: 'fBehold, ye children, there is no gold in the treasury . We must have shekels or the mighty games of skill and prowess which ye love must cease to be. And then spoke one, Peter, son of Swedah, a judge among the tribes, and said. It is not good the games should die. O, children, go forth and bring in the valued parchment where on ye write. ln foreign lands it is worth it's weight in much fine gold. Bring also, books and manuscripts no longer read by men, and we, thy judges, will award the tribe that showeth the greatest zeal ten several points upon the coming feats of strengthf, Page twenty-two THE, G AP lillIlDilli f,:l51!iH... T 0 L I N E 1.- llllllllll - Then all the tribes girt up their loins and labored mightily. And lol when all was gathered in, the Junyorai had labored best, and so they won the feats of strength. And this was in the third year of their coming out of the graded land of darkness. Then he who meditated thought upon the last year of their chronicles, and was glad g for in it was much strife and wagging of thc tongue, wherein he took delight. Because they were then Senyorai, they must have a chief to sit above their heads and rule their councils. Then was the tribe arrayed against itself, and strife and words flowed free. And certain ones wenth forth with parchment to get a list of those who favored such-a-one for office. And sons and daughters of the tribe put down their names upon the parchments, some favoring this one 5 others, that, until in dire bewilderment some signed they knew not where. Then were the votings cast. The count was made and one, Robert, was chosen chief of all their councils. And then the judge did make him swear a mighty oath to do his duty by the tribe, and, also, even he who kept the treasure chest was made to swear, a thing before unknown among the tribes. And diverse mighty things were done in this same year, a festival, where at the men and maidens of the tribe danced to music from the brass and tymbralsg a ghostly-walk, where spirts talked and bade the warriors of the nation go forth and win, a scribe and lesser scribes were chosen to chronicle in this great book the wanderings of the tribe, and in the month of Junai, the tribe, amid shouts and acclaimation, donned the ceremcnts of honor and so- The dreamer woke as at the blast of Judgment. A voice was calling forth his name. With lip and brow that burned as of a fever, he gathered his limbs beneath him, stumbled down the seeming endless way, took from a hand a roll of parch- ment and so with all his tribe passed into history. all i .1 - I A Page twenty-three mf,-- nveil- flu- u 'r'1-IB c AP iIlIIflil.EilfE iEEinl ., . .............

N THE SECOND YEAR of its exis- tence in Springfield High School the Athletic Board of Control has made itself Worthy of the confidence placed in it and is fulfilling its mission as a more eflicient body than the old Ath- letic Association. Throughout this year and last, the Board has had entire charge of the athletics of Springfield High School man- agers for varsity football, basketball, baseball, and track have been chosen. Letters as a reward of merit and achiev- ment, have been awarded to not only the varsity men in all branches of athletics but also to the managers and second team men. S'sl' have been awarded to the members of the school debating team. Under the supervision of the Board, season tickets for the football season were placed on sale, but in spite of the efforts of those selling them, not enough money was taken in to even make expenses. The sale of tickets for the Thanksgiving football game was more successful, though expenses were not entirely covered. il 1 I Wi T 1918 Because the financial condition in athletics was not encouraging, the Board decided that no season tickets would be sold for basketball, but that tickets would be placed on sale in the corridor a day or so before a game for twenty-five cents, and that admission on the night of the game would be thirty-five cents. This plan was especially successful, and as a result the financial condition of athletics improved greatly. The State Basketball Tournament, held in our school this year, was a splendid success from beginning to end. True We made no money from it, but we made something more valuable than money- scores of friends among the coaches and players of all over the state. Springfield is on the map indeed. In accordance with the suggestion of Mr. Buck some very necessary changes have been made in the Constitution of the Board. The officers elected for the year Were: President, Mr. White.

SUCCESSFUL FOOTBALL season! Not the kind old S. H. S. is used to bringing home it is true, but it was a successful season in that a balance of the games were in our favor, and that the zenith of sportsmanship was reached which S. H. S. has been striving for so long. For sometime Springfield has been endeavor- ing to reach a certain standard of sports- manship that is beyond reproach. This year the football team as well as the spectators conducted themselves in a manner that any city might well be proud of. The spectators treated the visiting teams with the utmost courtesy. Clean playing was very marked on the part of the defenders of the Red and Black honor. This is proved by the fact that every visiting team that came to Springfield reported a good time and a square deal. Also, our team away from home took things as they came and did not beef when luck was bad. A large amount of the credit for this aspect toward athletics is due entirely to our new coach, H. C. Buck. Coach Buck came to Springfield from Springfield, lVIass. with the best of records for his work in athletics. While in Springfield, he has certainly main- tained his un- reproachable record V and has made a host of friends with COACH H. C. BUCK his winning smile and his high ideals. S. H. S. will lose a good friend when Coach Buck takes up his new position in Galesburg next year. It is with the deepest sorrow and the best wishes for his success in his new position that we bid farewell to him. The football season opened rather late on account of failure of school to open sooner. VVith only three last years S men as a nucleus around which to build a winning team, Coach Buck faced a tough proposition. From the raw material that reported for practice Buck whipped into shape a fighty, speedy team. This team won five out of their nine games and by so doing established a successful football record. OCT. 6. Contrary to the custom of the football schedule our team played the first game at home against Jackson- ville. It was rumored that Jacksonville was one of the strongest teams in the state, but our team, just could not or would not, be beaten at home, and so when the final whistle blew, Springheld had 13 and Jacksonville 6. OCT. 13. The second game was also staged at home when Peoria Manual invaded our territory. Peoria had a light team and a fast team, but unfortunately for them, they were not fast enough, and consequently Springfield stacked up 21 points to Pcoria's 13. OCT. 20. Springfield journeyed to Normal with high hopes, but it seemed as tho some unlucky spirit went with them. They could not get back into their old shape, until it was too late and the count stood Normal 28, Springfield 3. ' ' 1918' 1' '-' '- - ' Page fifty-three ' fl' TTHE G AF lllllF.glH qQ1!5Q,, T o L 1 NE, OCT. 27. After a week's practice our team had recovered from the shock of the defeat at Normal, and they were entirely ready to give Champaign a good trouncing. The game was staged at home and at the end of the first half Springfield did not have a score. The team mustered up courage and went back fighting hard but they lacked team- work. The score was, Champaign 41, Springfield 0. - The scrubs also got their share of the defeat at the hands of the Champaign scrubs, 33 to 0. NOV. 3. Springfield went to Peoria flying colors. This was one of the fastest games of the season and Springfield showed great defensive work but luck was against us, and Peoria Central chalked up 17 points to Springfield's 6. On this day our second team marched gallantly to defeat before the Auburnites. The score was 51 to 0 in favor of the Auburn Warriors. Nov. 10. Springfield went to meet our old time rivals at Decatur. Every- body was enthusiastic and hopeful and the team had full confidence. In the last few minutes in one of the hardest fought games of the season, our team carried home the honors by a brilliant for- ward pass. Springfield 9 and Decatur 7. Our second team also played a fast game at Decatur but were defeated by ui lIl 1 Inf I W- 5 Page fifty-four 1918 the Decatur scrubs. The score was 28 to 6. Nov. 17. Springfield journeyed to Moline with seven men on the sick list. They had a wonderful time and they give Moline credit for it, but due to their partially crippled team they were over- whelmed. The score was 59 to 0. On this same day our second team men fought a gridiron battle with Illiopolis but were defeated by the score of 14 to 0. Nov. 24. Marked the defeat of Bloomington. The team was at home and the fellows were raving to go. It was an easy game and the team tried to make the score 34 to 0, for some secret reason, but Bloomington did not let them pass 24. Nevertheless, Springfield did not let Bloomington pass at all, conse- quently their score was 0. Nov. 29. Our famous Thanksgiving day game and incidentally, the last game of the season, was played at home against Jacksonville. At this point of the season we had won four and lost four games and the team especially wanted to beat Jacksonville and put Springfield on the winning side. And they did. Every man played a brilliant game because he had only one aim-to make the last contest a victory. The score was Jacksonville 7, Springfield 41. gTHE C AP Alll1FlifH E:lJ:auiE,.,.

HE SECOND TEAM in football this year had a disastrous year, as they lost practically all of their games by overwhelming scores. During the whole season the Scrubs did not succeed in scoring a point against their opponents. The first game of the season was fought with Girard's first team, which defeated them by a score of 56 to 0. aeheir next game was with Cham- paign Seconds, at home. The Cham- paign aggregation proved to be a fast team and won from the home team 61 to 0. The third game which was the best played by the Scrubs was with ROUCH, .issisani coach the Decatur Scrubs at Decatur. The score was 13 to 05 seven of the points scored by the Decatur team being on a dead play which was allowed to count. The last game was with the Illiopolis first squad. Our second team was defeated by the over- whelming score of 63 to 0. Mr. Rouch who coached the second team seemed to be well satisfiedwith the scason's out- come. LINE-UP OF SECONDS.

T O L I N E BASKETBALL SEASON. OUR HUNDRED and thirty points as against their oponents three hundred and eighteen is the enviable record attained by the Red and Black basketeers this year. Not a single game was lost on the home floor and only a very few on foreign territory. The Springfield team was well supported by the spectators that came to the games. At every game the new gymnasium was packed with enthusiastic crowds. Never before in the history of the school has there been so large a sum in the athletic treasury at the close of the basket ball season. No season tickets were sold either. That was the idea of Faculty Manager Wentz. The financial victories scored by Springfield were due entirely to Mr. Wentz. Springfield was simply basket ball crazy. They had good reason to be, too, because they were witnessing one of the best teams that ever represented S. H. S. Taking Poscover and Teasley, two last years USU men, as the foundation upon which a winning team was to be built, Coach Buck whipped into shape the fastest, scrapiest little team in the state. By little it is meant that there was only one large proportioned man on the team. All of the rest being of the little but mighty calibre. S. H. S. was decidedly at a loss for a center. . Teasley, the diminutive running guard had to be shifted to the center position and Little Dutch Sternaman had to be developed to fill the shoes of Teasley at floor guard. Besto Tate a new comer in Springfield easily held down one forward position while the other one was conceded to l '-1 I 1918 Poscover. To complete the quintette, Harry Hodde was drafted from the Sophomore class to play back guard. Two able utility men were found in Sam- mons and Gaa. Under the leadership of Captain 'fPug Poscover the team went out to bring in the laurels for S. H. S. It can safely be said that this Red and Black representation was filled with the old time fight and spirit of S. H. S. This fact is shown by perusing the following record of S. H. S.: S. H. S. Normal . 30 30 Clinton . 26 13 Pawnee . . 12 46 Decatur . 22 28 Clinton . . 15 21 Champaign . 22 29 Bloomington 17 26 Decatur . . 22 24 Jacksonville . 13 16 Champaign . 19 26 Bloomington 19 10 Normal . . 32 29 1Vaverly . 10 16 Farmer City . 16 42 Atlanta . . 13 30 Heyworth. . 10 28 Clinton . . . 20 16 318 430 Since five of the seven S winners will be eligible to play basketball next season, the prospects for another winning Red andiBlack basketball team are very good. Captain Poscover has been re- elected and predicts a State Champion- ship for Springfield rooters next season. Page fifty-nine Poscover. Teasley.

HE SECOND BASKETBALL team of Springfield High School was not as fortunate in winning their games as the varsity team. Only two games were scheduled this season and both of them were lost to Decatur's second string men. However a great deal of praise and credit is due the second team for its good work. Their object in existing is not primarily to win games but to develop the Red and Black 1'irst team. After all is said and done 3 and when the team that has won the laurels at home and away from home is being given high honors and praise, the second team must not be forgotten. These men are to be equally considered with the men on the first squad. They are the ones who take the knocks and their toil is unrequitted. They are the ones who are experimented on, yet they never complain. VVithout their unselfish work the first team could not be built. In recognition of their good work the members of the second team were awarded a modified HS emblem. Ken- neth Miller, Ira Johnson, and Julian Taylor were those who received these emblems this year. Others gave valuable aid to the team but did not stay out long enough to earn an S, INTER-CLASS BASKETBALL. NOLUDING THIS YEAR, the class of June '18 has won the inter-class basketball championship three times. By winning the championship again this year the class established the third claim on the Wrangler Trophy cup thereby gaining the cup as their own property. When the Wrangler Debating Society first presented the cup, it was with the understanding that should a class win the school championship for three successive years the cup would pass into their hands for keeps. By good consistent playing the Seniors nosed out the Sophomores by two games for the first place. Lee Maxcy the Senior captain played good heady basketball and kept the interest of the team at heart. Only one game was lost by Maxcy's men and that was to the lighting Sophomores. Interest in class basketball was very keen this year. Many men from each class tried out for their teams. Each game played between the classes was hard fought and the outcome was uncer- tain until the last gun had been fired. The men awarded numerals for the good work are: Seniors: Lee Maxcy, Paul Bollman, Julian Taylor, Samuel Sutton, Norman Bryce, Earl Hinman, Gustave Bretcher and Earl Tomlinson. Juniors: Lyman Coe, Donald Mc- Donald, Kenneth Miller, Wallace Whit- ney, William Davis, William Swift, Robert Hatfield, Joe Stuart and Albert Cohen. . Sophomores: Ralph German, Ira Johnson, Lyle Marland, Adrian Sim- mons, George Oampbell, Porter Butts, James Ronayne and Wesley Corson.

T 0 L I NE fl- DISTRICT TOURNAMENT. PRINGFIELD HAD WON the district tournament at Jackson- ville for so long a time and with such apparent ease that state authorities decided that she should be taken out of that particular district and placed in another one. Consequently Springfield was apportioned to the dis- trict tournament at Decatur. S. H. S. opened up her offensive on Thursday night of the tournament with Farmer City. Hindenburg's drive was a mere nothingness to that of Coach Buck's men. XVhen the game ended, the score stood 42 to 16 with Springfield on the heavy end of it. Poscover captured 32 points. The next day several hundred Red and Black rooters invaded Decatur. On each successive car more and more came until by Saturday night nearly six hundred Springfield supporters had ar- rived. Before S. H. S. was entitled to meet Clinton in the finals she had to trounce Atlanta on Friday night and Heyworth on Saturday afternoon. These two games Were exceedingly tight and proved to be fatal to our boys. Although they won them by large socres they were Worn out for the night's game which decided the championship. Clinton had defeated Decatur on Fri- day afternoon and was thus made eligible to meet S. H. S. in the finals. The game that took place on the Milliken Gym Hoor on that memorable Saturday night is one that a xwiter of fiction would do Well to choose for a thrilling story. The tide of battle ebbed and fiowed first for Clinton and then for Springfield. With but twenty-eight seconds to play and the score 14 to 13 in favor of Springfield Referee Benjamin called a technical foul on S. H. S. The five minutes overtime strain proved fatal to the Red and Black boys. The game ended 20 to 16 in favor of Clinton. -'U' 1918- --' - -R - Page sixty-two THE, C AP illIIlF.H35ll5 ii i!P.. . T 0 L 1 NE STATE TOURNAMENT. ACKED BY SPRINGFIELD students and teachers, Spring- field merchants and citizens, and by the unequaled Springfield cooperative spirit and enthusiasm, the Illinois State Tournament for the basket- ball championship opened Thursday af- ternoon, March 14, 1918. Preceding the first game between Rockford and Du Quoin, a massive parade of over fifty automobiles went through the city adver- tising the tournament. Claxons, fog horns, and large banners announced to the public that for the first in the history of Springfield the State Championship was to be decided on local grounds. Because S. H. S. had been defeated in the district tour- nament at Decatur the capitol city was a likely place for holding the state contest. The state meet had to be held on some neutral floor so that one team would not have any particular advantage over the other. Also because of the central loca- tion and the elegant new gymnasium the state authorities favored Springfield for the scene of the contest. R. A. WENTZ, Faculiy Manager. 1918 Elaborate plans were made for the entertainment of the thirteen visiting teams. More than ten cars were devoted all of the time entirely for the amusement of the visitors. Sight seeing trips were made all over the city and the Springfield management did everything in their power to create a good feeling between the teams and to show them all a good time. Coach Buck and Faculty Manager NVentz were ably assisted by student managers Skoog, Stevens and P. Butts in preparing the new gym for the tourney. The bleachers were all numbered and perfect order with regard to the seating of spectators was maintained throughout the entire tournament. Season tickets were put on sale by Wcxntz at 561.50 a piece. ,Over two hundred and fifty of these were sold before the opening game. When more than eleven hundred rooters packed the High School Gym at the championship game Saturday night it was a heralded fact that Springfield had put across the biggest and best State Tournament yet staged. Centralia, the championship team, was presented with a handsome loving cup donated by the Springfield News Record. Harmon Lushbaugh, publicity man for the tournament, was largely instrumental in securing this cup. In fact everyone who took part or contributed in any way toward the betterment of the tournament added greatly to the maintenance of the cooperative spirit of Springfield.

Several schools were negotiated with but all had received the same reply interscholastic meets, but the officers of the State Athletic Association decided that they would schedule no meets between schools this year. They. went so far as to write the colleges and universities that had here- tofore staged meets not to plan any events this year. This action is the only one of its nature that is known to have been taken by any similar board throughout the entire United States. When the question was broached to them concern- ing the meets they replied that individual schools could schedule track and field events if they desired but that they would be looked on with disfavor if they from the boardg and so S. H. S. was unable to schedule any contests with other schools. Believing that Springfield needed some track work, the inter-class track meets were planned. Student man- agers selected from each class, enlisted their services to mark off a quarter mile track on the S. H. S. Athletic field and later to skin it and get it in readiness for the first outdoor inter-class meet of the season. It is true the outdoor meet was not as inspiring as an inter-scholastic meet would have beeng but since the board had taken the steps it had ,S. H. S. had to be satisfied with the inter-class athletics. INDOOR TRACK MEET. TANDING IN THE High School Auditorium about 8:30 P. M., April 26th, one would have been led to believe that a prize fight between President VVilson and the Kaiser was being staged in the gymnasium. That is to say, judging by the amount of noise that issued from the gym, Wilson was getting the better of the fight and the Kaiser's tights were sadly ripped. Upon closer observation, however, one would find that this tremendous noise and clamoring was not over a prize fight but merely the rooters of the High School attending an annual indoor track meet. Rivalry between the three classes this year was exceptionally keen. For this reason the winner could not be picked until the last event was finished. The Seniors and Sophomores ran a neck and neck race from the time the first gun was fired until the last man had crossed the tape in the last event. The totals at the close of the meet announced that the Seniors had won first place by a margin of three points. They had gained a total of 54 5-6 points, while the Sophs had managed to aggregate 51 5-6 points thus winning second place. The Juniors were able to gain only 37 1-3 points there- by winning their inevitable third place.

One of the new departures in athletics inaugurated by Coach Buck this year Was the Individual Track Meet held May 21st on the Athletic Field before a fair crowd.

Perhaps some time in the future, we shall see this greatest of in- door sports added to the list of events in the annual Indoor Track Meet, but this addition to the program of events is not predicted for the near future.

NDER A blistering hot sun and witnessed by several hundred rooters, the Sophomores romped away with the first annual out- door track meet Saturday, May 4th. The meet was staged on the High School Athletic Field. Whether it was by reason of the outdoor air or because the Sopho- mores had sworn vengeance on the Seniors, the second year men scored 59 points. The Seniors came in a strong second with 425 points. The Juniors were granted their third place when they totaled 34M points. Members of the faculty acted as officials of the meet. Several individual stars were developed by the contests and Coach Buck feels confident that had any interscholastic meets been entered, S. H. S. would have made a creditable showing. BASEBALL. ECAUSE S. H. S. did not have a school team this year in base- ball, more interest and spirit was put into class baseball. Every class was represented by a reputable team and careful try-outs took place on each team before they were chosen. This is the first time in the history of the school that so much pep was put into the game. Along with this and the new athletic field everyone was pleased with the work of the season. Up to May 17, the Sophomores seemed to have the superior team having won 4 and lost 1. It was probably due to their eagerness to make themselves popu- lar in school and to the wonderful enthus- iasm they put into the game. The Freshmen, no doubt, got lost in the shufiie this year, having lost four and not having won any. They fought like Trojans but of no avail. The Seniors did a bit better than the Freshmen with two games against them -T ' J 1918 Page sixty-six and two to their credit. There is no doubt but that the Seniors could have 'fcoppedu the championship if they did not have so much other Work to do toward graduation, but they will not cry over spilt milk. The Juniors took their proper place as upper middle elassmen. They won three lost two. They played hard but were unable to keep up with the Sophs. The batteries of teams Were: Freshmen-Ruden. Sophomores-K. Richardson, I. John- son. J uniors-M. Poskover, O. Cheney. Seniors-J. Gay, B. Tate, T. Kunz. The standing of teams was as follows: Per- cent- Team. W'on. Lost. Tied. age.

The Horizant or Discussion Club was organized in May, l91'f, for the purpose of fostering and promoting a better spirit of cooperation between pupils and teachers, as Well as building up a better school spirit. Mr. Bracewell and Mr. Nevins and Mr. White were chiefly responsible for this organization. The qualifications Were a grade of 80, and an ability for leadership of the right sort in student activities. At first the club met every Week on Wednesday night at the Y. W. C. A. Where a 'fDutch treat supper was enjoyed. But oWin' to Hooverl' and the War We find once in every two Weeks still in Dutch is enough. This club is unique, in that it has no organization. There's a rather harmless membership committee and a program chairman off in the distance. But we have no pin, and until recently no name. There are from thirty to thirty-six members, six of which are faculty. Programs are round-table discussions of pupil problems in the school. The spirit of the club is- Say what you think, and try to understand the other fellowls point of view. 1918 Page sixty-nine Page seventy kie, Newell.

The society was organized in December of 1910 under the guidance of Miss Robinson and Miss Matheny, with a charter membership of fifteen students. It is said of the society in her infancy, She consumes and digests dictionaries and Robert's Rules for her daily diet. H As would be expected from such a wholesome diet, she has grown. Now the Philomachian Society includes forty student mem- bers, and nine faculty members. . With debate and dialogue, speeches and songs, a pose for every magazine cover, the dark mysteries of initiation, a playlet for our fellow students, and true to the adage of 'all work and no play,' one evening in January devoted to the light fantastic with all the variations, the Philomachians have passed another mile-stone. With experience to back us, and bright hopes for the future, we bid farewell to our seniors and disband for a much-needed vacation. I ' 11918 Page seventy one Page SG'U67ttfIl-PWD Lee.

THE LES BAS BLEUS SOCIETY. HE LES BAS BLEUS SOCIETY has been an active organization this year, and well deserves the name which it bears. Since the organization of this society in 1908, the members have always accomplished many things in literary activity, and have been very enthusiastic in their support of all the phases of school life. The members this year have in no way lowered their high standard. The time spent at the meetings has been profitably used in the study of famous authors and their writings, in the study of parliamentary training, and in other literary pursuits. Several original stories and essays were given by the members. But one must not get the impression that this society devotes all the time to study, for all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. The active members of the society gave a Christmas dance in the High School Gymnasium, and the Alumnae have given two dances at the Washington Park Pavilion. The active members gave a charity program and dance, Isadore Bennett, who is an alumna, furnishing many very interesting readings. A few changes have, of course, taken place since the organization of the society. In our new home, where we have a good place to hold our meetings, all meetings are held in school, which is more convenient, while in preceding years the meetings were held mostly in the homes of the members. The society owes much of its success to the faithful efforts of the faculty advisers, Miss Wright and Miss Lomelino. niuiiuil 1 ' '1918 Page seventy-tlwee j1:f1-IB G AP lfIlIl!g.H3lln :E11i ,,., T o L ILNE THE LATIN CLUB.

On account of the long school day, it has not seemed wise to hold many meetings after four o'clock, but the club did organize, and present one excellent program. A social meeting was held later in the year, and was the last to be held in its brief but very successful year. H I - - Page seventy-fam' T1-IE, c AP illlllFIill. li ., T o L 1 NE Xviuiflllls. Greer.

Two years ago a few high school fellows banded together for the purpose of meeting regularly and having open discussions of current events. The meetings were held in the club rooms of the Public Library. The membership of the society grew until the members thought it best to seek entrance into the high school. They were accepted by Principal Kingsbury and the Delphic Literary Society became a school organization. The first meeting in the new building took place when the Wrangler Inter- Society Debate challenge was accepted. The Philos were drafted to meet the Delphics in the preliminaries of the debate and the decision favored the girls. Not broken in spirit the Delphics are planning future greatness. As a school organization the Delphics have supported every project which was for the betterment of the school and the student body. Their future is unlimited and from the rate of advancement already established, the Delphics are scheduled to Go Over the Top. 1n1 I 1-1 'Q nl 1 -las 1 5 Page S6'U67lty-SG'UG'IL Page sevelzfy-eiglzl si 5 . , - A 5 5 L. .

The Wrangler Debating Society is a democratic organization dedicated to the best interests of the school and fostering debate and literature. It has had an eviable record Since its inception twelve years ago, and has succeeded in a singular manner in accomplishing its ideal-that of placing debaters on the school teams. In the last six years 60 per cent of the debating teams have been Wranglers, the records being available Since 1913 only. Socially the Wranglers are a leading factor in school. Besides the annual dinner dance in December, Cgiven by the active societyj and three dances given by the alumni, they held a highly successful minstrel-the Original Southern J iggeree and Hoe DoWn.'l This was one of the seasonts best attended entertain- ments. The Grand Final was the annual picnic held at Zoo Park. Box lunches were served to the hungry folks in the evening. A dance was held later. The Wranglers have 54 men in the service-a record to be truly proud of. Their service flag in the trophy room at the High School is one of the largest in the city. Meetings are held every Monday evening, and after a short business meeting a program consisting of a debate or speeches is given. Under the capable guidance of Mr. White the Wranglers have just finished one of the most Successful years of their history. . M ' '1918 Page seventy mme Page eighty BELLS. LLO. CE COND VIOLINS.

GARDINER, Musical Director of Springfield High School, has spent three years of untiring endeavor in producing her justly celebrated 'fGardiner's Orchestraf' Always ready to render excellent services whenever the occasion demanded, this group has won city-wide favor. In the High School itself they have been indispensable. They added pep to the assemblies with their Spirit of Independence and the Star Spangled Banner. December Twenty-third the orchestra assisted the Glee Clubs in their Christ- mas program. The orchestra acquitted themselves with great credit as accompan- ists of a chorus. I The Grieg Music for the Centennial Pageant the Sword of America was played by our school orchestra augmented by local talent. Their interpretation of the moving shadows was most artistic. The characteristic spirits of England, France and America were expressed vividly by the playing of the national anthems of those nations. The dance for the Stunt Ball, the class party dances and the assembly dances were inspired by the tingling fingers of the orchestra. All these were roaring successes, due in a great part to the capability with which the orchestra carriec out the programs. Indeed, the popularity of the orchestra was so widely spread that they were hired to play for the commencement exercises of the Bornw's Business College which were held in our auditorium December eighteenth. The orchestra is proud to say that it played for many patriotic meetings at the Arsenal, including the lecture of Pat O'Brien. The last program given by the orchestra was that given at the commencement exercises of the class of June '18, Collectively and individually the members of the orchestra did excellent work this year. uni ' 1918 Page eighty one Page eighty-two GIRLS' GLEE CLUB.

ECIDED IMPROVEMENT in musical ability and quite an increase in members has marked the most successful year that the Glee Clubs have ever had. They have participated in numerous programs, each of which resulted in general expression of approval from all who witnessed it. This is a record of which Springfield High School's Glee Clubs may well be proud. The first public appearance was made by the Girls' Glee Club before the Patrons' Club ofthe school. Soon after this successful performance both the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs sang at the McClenard School, assisted by Mrs. Gary Westenberger. The Christmas program was given on December 23rd, by the Combined Glee Clubs. The singers were seated in the balcony, giving a beautiful resemblance to a heavenly choir, when heard from the main floor of the auditorium. The audience was so greatly pleased with the music, that the program was given three times. On Lincoln's Birthday, the Combined Glee Clubs participated in the holiday program at the arsenal, with the immense childrens' choir, and also gave several individual numbers. At the Stunt Ball, which was one of the most successful affairs of the school year, several numbers were given by the Combined Glee Clubs, and the Girls' Glee Club gave some beautiful Hawaiian numbers, accompanied by a group of ukulele players. Commencement was the climax of the musical work of the year. At this time the Glee Clubs gave some very beautiful selections and were well received by the audience. The Glee Clubs have participated in other minor events of the year, including assemblies, always with the same success which has been prevalent throughout the entire season. Miss Gardiner has given a great deal of time and earnest effort to this musical organization and splendid results are the reward for this work. 11, ' ' Al I Page eighty-three BOYS' GLEE CLUB.

Until that hour of bliss, my sweet, Beware of channels muscular And all those gay young dogs you meet Especially corpuscular, On this canal in which we swim. And should you ever weakly doubt The might of Evolution's power, Remember, love, I've pointed out To you the ancient dinosaur, His eggs, and what became of him. Ah, yes, my own, the hour has struck For this machine on which we feed, He can't survive us, barring luck, I have no patience with the breed, He calls us plants, and says we're dregs. But think-some day in that dim time When last on earth he lies full low, That you and I in racial prime, Upon our honeymoon may go To speculate about his legs.

I entered the public service April first, the very day the Kaiser declared he would eat his dinner in Paris. A young Sophomore in the Springfield High School bought me and my spirit entered into the silver he gave in return for me. My external features were placed in a musty vault at the school but my spirit went forth. When the campaign was ended my face value along with hundreds of others of my kind was sent to Washington, D. C. Here Csince my spirit was flexible, I could be either guns, food or clothingl I was converted into a pair of black shoes. I was packed in a box with other clothing and placed in the dark hold of a ship. We had to wait in Dover until a few subs that were hovering near were chased away. Then we crossed the channel at Calais. Here the boxes were opened and some of us were taken out to be sent to the Belgian interior. I looked as down-at- the-heel and useless as I could, because I wanted to go into France and see Paris instead of the Germans in Belgium. My wish was fulfilled. In Paris a young lieutenant opened the box and took me out. At this I was rather crestfallen because that box had been a lovely home and I was a trifle dubious about leaving it when I knew not who might be my owner. Then I remembered that I should not be selfish. I was a W. S. S. V Soon we were taken out on a platform in the public square. Old men and women, their faces drawn and wrinkled, expressive of the tragedy that had befallen their country, crowded around, holding little children in their arms. I was discouraged. I couldn't fit any of these old people. Was I to be left alone wrapped in this old coat to get musty and to rot? Just then a young girl of about seventeen pushed forward through the crowd. She wore a red flannel tunic over a very ill-fitting ragged black shirt. The tunic was minus one sleeve and was patched in places with burlap. The shoes she wore were cracked and run-over so badly that they were tied on with strings. I forgot her rags when I saw her face.' The features were sharply outlined, the lips were strong and firm, and the eyes had the gleam of a fiery spirit in them. Her hair hung in uncombed curls, tossed about by the wind. She was the very spirit of loyalty and liberty. She had come merely to look on g but when the lieutenant who was distrib- uting the clothes saw her, he glanced at her feet and then snatched me out of the box without a minutes delay and held me out to her. The girl drew back- Oh no! I don't need them. I mean many others need them more than I do-and I'm afraid I'm really not worth them. I can't do anything except care for my grandfather -her boice broke as her eyes hungrily looked me over. The young lieutenant was a man of his own will. Take this, girl, he said, H It is young women like you who can do things. You need to be cared for, because '- ' 'ij' '1918 - ' 1' Page eighty-seven THE G AP 1llIIlP.i'lf ifE1!2E. .. T 0 L I NE n-.r it is your kind who will assist France when these older people are gone. He pushed me into her hands and told her to wear me for France. Lynette CI heard her grandfather call her thatj held me in her arms while she pulled a cart full of provisions behind her and trudged along the dusty road out of Paris beside the old man. We travelled about three days, stopping at farm houses for the night. At the end of the third day we came to the little cottage where Lynette and her grandfather. lived. It was not far from the battle front, for I could hear the thunder of the cannon even before we approached the house. Lynette took me into her room and held me in her arms while she stood before a picture of a man in uniform. Oh father, dear, she said excitedly, Maybe I can do something sometime to avenge your death. The lieutenant encouraged me and he must have meant it or he wouldn't have given me these new shoes. She wrapped me up and put me away in a box under the table. I stayed there a month. Everyday I heard the girl talk to her fatheris picture. One day she came in very excitedly and told him how the young lieutenant had taken command when his superior officer was shot and had saved the whole army by leading them out of the trench to a successful hand to hand attack with the enemy. So he was made a general and was in command of that section. The next morning Lynette ran into the room, took me out of my box and hur- riedly began to put me on. As she was lacing me up, she told the picture what had happened. f'Oh, daddy, my time has come, I know a secret of the enemy and I'm going to tell my General. The sun was just rising as she ran through the field. The Germans had been over this territory in their first advance on Paris and the land was full of shell holes. The ground was so broken up that Lynette was forced to stop running and continue in a fast walk. In a few hours the sun was very hot and her cheeks burned with the heat and excitement but she hurried on. About three o'clock in the afternoon she encountered a picket. f'Halt! he cried and held a bayonet directly in front of her. She hadn't thought of this! She was so frightened that words failed her and tears came to her eyes. Well, either give the password or go back the way you came, shouted the picket. 'fOh, I donft know it, cried Lynette, Hbut really I know something very important and you must let me pass. I'm sorry, Mademoisselle, but I can't be moved by tears, and unless you give the word you must go back. Lynette knew at that that it was no use to argue but could she let a picket stand between her and the safety of France? No! She would wait until evening and then slip past him in the dark. 1918 Page eighty-eight T1. rx-IE, c AP if4aa1g.EfllH f ies.... T O L 1 NE Very Well, said Lynette, I suppose I must go back.', And she turned back in the direction she had come. When she was out of sight of the picket, she circled roundto see if she might find some place unguarded but it was of no avail. She would have to wait till dark. Well, little shoes, I will give you a rest now and with that she sat down beside a pile of brushwood and pulled off her shoes. We waited about two hours and then Lynette put me on again and peeped around the bush. The sun had set and it was getting dusk. She knew that the guard would change after sundown and they might take a little recreation between times. We were not more than a block away from one of them and when his back was turned she ran to another bush closer up. By this time the stars were out and the world was dark. Lynette crouched down in the weeds and crept slowly up to the guard. He was smoking a cigarette so she could easily tell when he was facing her and when he was not. Inch by inch she crept closer sliding along as noiselessly as a cat. We were right close to the picket when she stopped to rest. He was walking back and forth over a space covering about six feet. As he came towards her I thought he would step on her but right in front of her he turned back. As soon as he turned Lynette pulled herself along in the grass as fast as she could. He stopped once and listened but he hear only the cry of an owl in the tree and went on. Inch by inch she crawled when his back was turned until she was safe enough distance away to rise. Then she cautiously picked her way among the trees towards a light which could be seen in the distance. As we came nearer we saw that it came from one of the tents. She slipped along side of the tent and listened. It was an ofiicer speaking-UTake the 135th and the 53rd Divisions away from section M and place them at A. The enemy are contemplating an attack over there according to our scouts. 'fVery well, Sir, said the orderly. HI will see that 1-.H Oh, don't do that interrupted Lynette as she burst in the tent door, They are planning to attack section M because they think it is your weakest point! Give the girl a chair, corporal, she is all out of breath, commanded the General. Lynette's eyes were blazing 5 a great red spot burned in both her cheeks and her hands trembled. The corporal gave her a chair and a drink of water and then she began to tell them the news. HThis morning just before dawn I was over by Lake Jaffer picking berries when I saw a hydroplane land on the beach. I knew that it was one of the Boche's and I drew nearer to listen. ' They were German air scouts who were taking pictures of the situation of our trenches and the surrounding country. The woods ran up close to the water and they never suspected that anyone would hear or see them. I crept up in the tall grass as close as I could and lay flat on the ground. I soon learned that the l918 1' Page eighty-nine ' GT' '1918' i i n-.ii TI-IE, c AP iinlllDEill5 5 .ainia.,.. '1' 0 L 1 N E enemy intended to make an attack at M, the weakest point so they said, in our line. As they were leaving one of them saw my red dress and started to climb out of the machine. The pilot told him it was only a red rag and besides they had no time to waste. 'Nevertheless' said the other, 'I'm going to fire at it to see if it moves. At the same time he aimed and a shot sizzed through my sleeve. I knew it would cost me my life if I movedg so I lay right still and the Boche was quite satisfied that I was only a rag. As soon as he had risen from the lake, I ran home through the woods and started to bring you the news. I had a hard time getting by your guards but I'm not too late, do you think? The General rose: No little girl you are not but the time is short. Corporal leave those two divisions at M and order the 136th and 56th brought up too. Hurry along. Then he turned to Lynette Where have I seen you before? Ah! in Paris? I gave you those shoes and you said something about not being worth them! Worth them! You are worth all the shoes in the world and more. You've saved my army and France perhaps! Oh, I'm so glad! Daddy would be proud of me. He said when he was dying he only wished he had more than one life to lay down for France. Here are guards, said the General soberly. They will escort you to Paris. Do not remain at home for in less than two days it may be the scene of a hard battle. Then his eyes softened. 'fGoodbye! and won't you give me the string out of your shoe to help me win the battle? Lynette bent down and pulled it out. 'fHere it is and if it would help more I'd give you both the shoes! Then the guard appeared and she went out, leaving the General smiling at one little shoe string which he held in his hand. I smiled to myself. I guess I wasn't worth 3415!

All told, there have been fourteen issues during the school year: ten of four pages, two of twelveg and two of eight and six pages each. The quality of the work has been excellent. But few items of interest have escaped the gum-shoed reporters. The cartoons work has been exceedingly good. Carl Somdal's pen can make even the cafeteria funny. The editorial work has been excellently done. The burning questions of the scholastic hour have been handled with force and conviction. As in the past the question of money has been a serious one. No paper, however well managed can exist on management alone. This year the problem of issuing a paper to seven hundred students free-gratis-for-nothing was a '4Stumper until some one had a bright idea of the Stunt Ball. A series of stunts by various organizations in school was arranged. The Wranglers gave a trial, like the Mock-turtle, a sad affair.

The age of Hrealisml' in play production has passed. Up to within the last few years the ideal way to mount a play was to crowd the stage with as many f'real properties and details as space, time, and money would permit. Real trees, real water running over real rocks, real soda fountains serving real sundaes, were thought to be the ideal settings for plays. The rise and development of the 'flittle theaters throughout the country have modified if not entirely changed all that. These organizations often working under the most trying circumstances, have sought to put into practice a few ideals. They try in their stage settings to be imaginative rather than realistic. It is not absolutely necessary that every room have a ceiling. Suggest the fire by a hidden light, that casts a red glow, and let the minds of the audience supply the other details. After all the play's the thing, and a stage setting that is heavy with French decoration and gilded cupids distracts the attention of the audience from the play itself, to non-essential details. In the matter of plays, the little theaters have made an advance. A program of one act plays can be every bit as interesting as a long play, and affords much greater variety. The little theaters have practically put the one act on the the- atrical map. The graduating class this year chose the typical little theater plays for their Hnal effort. 'fThe Lost Silk Hat by Lord Dunsany is an amusing comedy revolving around the efforts of a bashful young man to recover a lost hat 5 Between the Soup and the Savoury is a comedy of the kitchen, and The Maker of Dreams is a poetic fantasy of the love of Pierrot and Pierrette. 1 '1918 Page ninety-four THE, G AP llllllpiiig .EliE. .. T 0 L I N E me-ll THE LOST SILK HAT. - CAST OF CHARACTERS. The Caller ........ Joe Lynd. The Laborer . . Harold Chapman. The Clerk . .Harry Hussey. The Poet. . .Raymond Georg. The Policeman ...... Cayton Blair. The Lost Silk Hat, by Lord Dunsany, is typical of the best of the modern one- act plays, so popular at present among English light comedies. The plot is very slight, almost accidental, and yet the dramatist succeeds in creating with subtle skill a variety of well-drawn characters and humorous situations, thru the clever use of dialogue, of contrast, and the effective handling of climax and suspence. The ending, too, is modern, in that the scene does not close with the long-suspended climax, as in the older plays, but with thc casual and commonplace remarks of two rather minor characters, which lend a striking and effective note of realism. As the curtain rises, the Caller stands before his Sweetheart's doorstep, faultlessly dressed, but hatless, and evidently in great despair. One by one, the Laborer, the Clerk and the Poet pass by, and are accosted by the Caller, who implores of each, with increasing agitation and persuasiveness, the small service of procuring for him his hat, by finding some pretext to enter this house. The Laborer is plainly skeptical about the hat, and refuses to even bargain for his services. The Clerk is willing enough to do the Caller a good turn, so long as he himself does not become involved in anything, but the Caller's excuses seem unconvincing to his matter-of-fact mind, and so he hurries along without more delay. The Poet seems more hopeful, for not only is he sympathetic when he has drawn from the Caller his reason for the request, but he is eagerly interested. Has not the lover quarrelled with a lady in that house, and sworn to join the Bosniaus and die in Africa, by his own confession? Immediately the Poet is inspired by this beautiful theme of hapeless love and death in a far country, and offers his services upon any reasonable grounds. No grounds can be found, however, for the Caller is in no condition to think calmly upon reasons, the Poet cannot bring his thoughts down so low as to con- template the means of recovering such a trivial thing as a hat. And so, while the Poet muses on the Caller's beautiful doom, his bones neglected and forgotten on endless golden sands, the lady meanwhile weeping and calling herself cruel, in vain, a piano is heard inside. The Caller is touched with remorse at the thot that she might be unhappy over his death. He steps up to ring the bell, in vain the Poet pleading with him not to enter, appealing in the ancient, holy name of Romance. A servant of the house admits the Caller, as the Poet sits down abjectly to sorrow over Young Romance's untimely death. Soon the music within begins again- My God! It is a duet, says the Poet. He seems a bit wrong somehow, remarks the Policeman. You should 'a seen the other one, replies the Laborer. L' '1918' S-' 1' Page ninety five THE C AP llIllEQ.Elli .El5E.... T 0 L I N F- BETWEEN THE SOUP AND THE SAVOURY. CAST OF CHARACTERS. The Cook . . Josephine Brown. Ada . . . Lucy Ginnaven. Emily .... . . Gladys Binney. Between the Soup and the Savoury is a pleasing comedy, which succeeds in representing in one act, the humor and the pathos found in the lives of three ser- vants. The time chosen is the opportune one of the serving of a meal. In this way the author, Gertrude Jennings, succeeds in acquainting the audience not only with the thoughts and actions of the serving maids, but through their conservation she also portrays the personality of the family in the dining room, altho they are never on the stage. The plot centers around the forlorn little kitchen maid, Emily whose grief because of her own homeliness is real enough to create a sympathetic response. As she washes the dishes at the sink she remarks. 'AI can't 'elp thinkin' sometimes when Fm a-washing up what it 'ud be like ter be a young lady wot had a young man ter walk out with. She is driven to desperation by the taunts and ridicule of the other two maids, and finally announces that, she has a young man. This causes great merri- ment in the kitchen, until she produces and reads a most beautiful love letter. This convincing proof of a real lover, quiets the laughter of the Cook and Ada, and they become duly respectful. During the serving of the meal, however, Ada discovers that the daughter of the household has quarrelled with her lover. She also overhears that quarrel resulted from Miss Angela's loss of her fiances letters. The situation is clear that Emily has borrowed some of Miss Angela's letters. She sobs out her confession, and adds her explanation I know you ain't meant it Cook, but its cut me cruel to 'ave you and Ada always a-making fun of me. You don't know how us ugly ones feels over a little thing like that. And so the play ends. Emily remains just Emily. She neither inherits wealth nor gains beauty. She has no lover. And we know that in real life it must be Emily's fate. Pay mlucty-six H1918 TI-IE, G AP rlllllliillt iimnl .. T 0 L 1 N E l nnuur l THE MAKER OF DREAMS. CAST OF CHARACTERS. Pierette ....... Mary Parsons. Pierrotte . . . Harold hIcCarty. The Manufacturer ..... Albert Raynolds. The Blaker of Dreamsl' by Oliphant Down, is as fantastic a little play as a dream itself and like a dream, has only the slightest of stories. Pierette is in love with Pierrot who does not see how beautiful she is, until the Manufacturer of Dreams, who is really cupid in disguise, gives him the bill of lading of a dream he had made twenty years ago, and Pierrot Hnds that Pierrete is his dream. The charm of the play lies in its irresponsible and elusive youthfulness, in the delicate mixture of genuine pathos, delightful nonsense and wholesome philosophy. There is an unmistakable strain of human passion in this little story of Pierrot and Pierrette, which sometimes brings smiles and sometimes tears. 1?ierrette's happi- ness didn't have to be make-believe, when she said, Pierrot, let me try on your smile. Give it to me in a kiss, but no less genuine is the pathos of her answer to the Manufaeturer's question: 'fBut supposing one-of these fine ladies were to marry him? If Pierrot were to get married, I think I should just -lfade away, for here is the whole tragedy of unrequitted love. Pierrot is youth itself, one moment singing snatches of his own little foolish jingles, the next absorbed in the philosophy of dreams and tears. One moment, in the naive egotism of youth, he writes for a newspaper article, The audiences enthralled by Pierrot's magnificent singing and dancing, and soon exclaims with equal impulsive frankness. Pierrette, is it possible !-I believe you have lost your real face and have carved another out of a rosef' But the real hero is the Manufacturer, whose philosophy is the means of bringing about Pierrot's awakening and Pierette's happiness. Quaint little fancy he had, that of filling up babies with dreams and sending them into the world. The essence of dreams, he says, is tears, because they take away the one sweetness. But, he says to Pierrette, tears are not to be wasted, for when the tears have all been used, the heart dries up too. As the curtain whispers down to hide the happy pair sitting before the red glow of the fire, Pierrot is singing the prettiest variation of his favorite little song: Baby, donlt wait for the moon, The stairs of the sky are so steep, And mellow and musical June Is waiting to kiss you to sleep.

The Bulletin is certainly an important member of the high school's self 5 a very prop indeed. This particular part of our school was somewhat shaky and threatened to fall away. Since it was a charity patient, the doctors in charge concocted a curious life saver called a 'fStunt Ball. Knowing that dancing and laughter were both good cures, they mixed the two into an entertainment of healthful variety. The Les Bas Bleus gave three thrilling scenes from Ivanhoe in towering shadow pictures. The High School Glee Clubs sang their sweetest. The Wranglers burlesqued a burlesque mock trial. It was touching, most nearly. Those wonders the musical twins, William Nelms and Winfred Morton, shook the last tatters from the latest ragtime. The girls from the gymnasium department added grace with their dancing. The Senior class quartette raised not a squall but a whirlwind of applause. Lastly the Philos presented a series of living pictures representing well known advertisements. The audience paid 35130 to advertise and later danced the night away in the gymnasium. ODD BITS. HREE ENTERTAINMENTS of dramatic or near dramatic character beside the class plays have been given this year. The general assemblies have been delighted, once, by the Les Bas Bleus in 'tIn the Teeth of a Gift Horse, and again by the Philomachians in Joint Owners in Spain. The Wranglers caught the popular fancy by their Vminstrel show. In the Teeth of a Gift Horse told an amusing story of the efforts of a young wife to recover a hideous pair of hand-painted vases given by a fussy old aunt, who had money. . Joint Owners in Spain 'was the quarrel of two old women in an old ladies, home. By the aid of a chalk line and vivid imaginations, the reconciliation to life in the same room was effected. The wrangler's Southern Jiggeree and Hoe Down was filled with black stars that shone in face and figure. James lVIcAnulty as Li'l Liza Jane, true to Broadway tradition sprang to favor in a single night.

OMMENCEMENT WEEK began on Sunday June Sth, when a Vesper service was conducted by Reverened Lester Leake Riley, who delivered the Baccalaureate sermon. The service was held in the High School Auditorium. On the next night, the annual Class Play was given by the Senior Class. Instead of giving a single play, as has always been the custom, three one-act plays were very cleverly presented. . Class Day, was Tuesday, June 10th. Senior recognition assembly was held in the morning. The assembly was impressively opened when the Seniors marched in wearing their caps and gowns. Mr. Kingsbury spoke on the ideals of the class and Mr. White made a farewell speech to the Seniors. Robert Butts responded and took charge of the program. The history of the class for its four years in school, was given by Cayton Blair, Harmon Lushbaugh, Frances Barnes, Douglas McLain, Lucille Perkins and Martha Coe. John Conlin gave the class prophecy. The speeches of the Valedie- torian and Salutatorian, were then given, followed by some beautiful musical selections by Miss Agnes Lloyd. The program ended with a Hag salute by the class. On Wednesday evening. the Seniors were royally entertained at the Junior- Senior Prom, held in the gymnasium. Commencement was on Thursday evening, in the Auditorium. The commence- ment address was delivered by Mr. H. C. Lord, Mr. Friedmeyer presented the diplomas to the members of the class. - -1' ' T' '1918 Page ninety 11 110 THE c AP wllllliiiilli liillii. .. T 0 L 1 NF' ll QUIN CY-SPRIN GF IELD DEBATE. Upsetting all dope and reversing all precedent the Springfield High School defeated Quincy in the two debates held simultaneously in the two schools on the night of April 26. The negative team of Springfield and the affirmative of Quincy debated in the Quincy High School andthe aflirmative team of Springfield and negative of Quincy debated in the Springfield High School. Both debates were attended by large, and enthusiastic crowds and the best of sportsmanship was shown. THE NEGATIVE TEAM. The negative team of S. H. S. was enthusiastically greeted on the arrival in Quincy and were well entertained but were in no way distracted from their firm determination to win the debate. The question debated in both places which was one of unusual interest at the present time was, Resolved that the Japanese emigrants should be permitted to enter the United States and be granted the same rights of citizenship as are granted to other foreigners. The auditorium was well filled before Miss Wright sent our team to the platform. As Quincy was upholding the affirmative Miss Paul of Quincy had the first speech. She brought up the gentleman's agreement and showed the Japanese as a patriotic, progressive and intellectual race. Robert Butts the first Springfield speaker spoke with great force and declared in the most convincing manner that the Japanese were a menace to American labor and would add greatly to the ever growing labor problem in our country. He stated that the Japanese would work longer hours and for much smaller wages than a white man could possibly live on. Wheeler Brittain of Quincy followed this speech, demanding the same treat- ment for the Japanese as the other emigrants from southern Europe receive. He declared the V'fgent1eman's agreement a slap in the face of a proud nationf' and claimed that the goodwill of the Japanese was a commercial necessity to us. Page one lmmlred Photos by Georg THE c AP lIllllF.gllE i5,Ei1!5i.... T 012 1 NE llsii ' Cayton Blair, our second speaker asserted that profiting by the experience of other countries who had been forced to discriminate against the Japanese, and the experience of the U. S. with them in Hawaii was suflicient proof for restricting them. He said that if Japanese were not restricted hundreds of thousands of emigrants from Japan and China would flood our country after the war and they could not be assimilated and made American citizens. Carl Martindale of Quincy contended that Japanese emigrants were higher intellectually than many European emigrants and that Americans were prejudiced against them. Harmon Lushbaugh, who had the closing speech on our Springfield team, argued brilliantly that the Japanese were aliens, incapable of being assimilated and would create a race problem more dangerous than America has ever faced with the Indian or Negro. . The rebuttals were hot and spicy and were along the same line as the previous speeches. The judges rendered the verdict two to one in favor of Springfield. THE AFFIRMATIVE TEAM. The negative team which came to Springfield from Quincy consisted of Miss Ruth Pompelly, John Cunningham and Harry Schaburg who substituted for Franklin McCann the regular speaker who missed his train and did not arrive in Springfield until too late to take part in the anything of the debate but the decision. Dale Templeman was the first speaker on Springfield's team. He contended that race prejudice, which was one of the main objections to admitting the Japanese was not a sufficient reason for restricting them. Ruth Pumpelly of the negative was the first speaker for Quincy. She said that the Japanese were an economic menance to the country. Lynn Pollard followed this with the argument that it was not only unjust and un-American to exclude the Japanese but was also very impracticable for many economic reasons. He proved that the Japanese work for higher wages than the average emigrant from southern Europe. Harry Shaberg of Quincy, asserted that it was impossible for the Japanese to be assimilated. Here the negative lost a point because they were using as- similated in its narrow sense and the affirmative in the broad sense as they had defined it at the beginning of the debate. ' ' ' '1918 Photos by Georg Page one hundred and one '- THE G AP llllllW.i'lli iiQIilP. ., T 0 L I N B John Conlin, our last but certainly not least, speaker argued that it was impracticable to exclude the Japanese for commercial reasons. He also said that we should look at the question from an international rather than a national stand- point. John Cunningham summed up Quincyys case and based his speech on race prejudice. The rebuttals were certainly the best part of the debate. Springfield was able to tear down the most of Quincy's main issues while they could only refute minor points of the affirmative case. The decision was three to nothing in favor of Springfield. This is the first time that the affirmative side of that question ever won. It was also the Erst time in eleven years that both teams of Quincy have been defeated. Much credit is due Miss Wright, the coach, for the splendid success of S. H. S.'s debating teams this year, and also to the members of the team who have been untiring in their efforts to make debate a success. INTER-SOCIETY DEBATE. An entirely new idea in debating in the school has been originated by the inter-society debates which were held this year. It has added much more enthus- iasm to this side of school activity than ever before. Very early in the spring the Wranglers issued a challenge to the other literary societies of the school, to debate on any subject to be decided on. As a result the subject Resolved that all labor should be compelled to arbi- trate by the Federal Government, was chosen and it was decided that the Wranglers-Les Bas Bleus and the Philos and Delphics should debate. Accordingly on the morning of May 10th the Philo-Delphic debate was held before those societies in the public speaking room and the Wrangler-Les Bas debate before the assembly. In both eases the debate was awarded to the girls' societies. the Philos and the Les Bas Bleus. On Tuesday evening June 4, the final debate between these societies was to have been held.

T BRINGS just a touch of sadness when we think of those who have gone Hover there, but it soon changes to an inspiration for a more determined effort to better our record for work over here. Springfield High has fifty boys in the active service of our country. Five of these are from the faculty- the rest from the student body. Some are in Franceg others on their way and many more are in the several cantonements throughout the country. All are doing not their bit but their best for liberty and we at home have doubled our efforts because of their splendid example. Charles Bean. Orville Davis. Brainard Million. Horace Shake.

Never before in the history of Springfield High School has it been called upon to do any kind of war work or to participate so extensively in the affairs of our country. Almost at the close of the Second Liberty Loan drive, a strong plea was made to the High School students for their cooperation and help in selling Liberty bonds. In answer to this appeal, the students sold in the very short time left to them, 5.545.000 worth of bonds. Besides this the students themselves owned 355,000 in bonds from the first drive and 310,000 in bonds from the second campaign. During these campaigns the students contributed in cash in the session rooms enough to purchase I0 Liberty bonds for the school. Page one hundred and three THE, C AP lIIlIF.H3illB ,El2W.... T 0 L 1 NE mr ni Z For the Third Loan Drive started in April and in which Springfield High School was again asked to aid, ninety teams, consisting of two persons each, volunteered. These were divided into four groups, under a faculty leader. The four groups cap- tains Were Mr. Ford, Mr. Barnes, Mr. Markland and Mr. Rouch. The team selling the most bonds and getting the most money is to have the names of its members placed on a bronze tablet, to be presented to the school. Mr. Ford's team Won the distinction of this honor by selling 319,450 in bonds. In all, the Third Liberty Loan Campaign, Springfield High School sold over 370,000 in bonds. THRIFT AND WAR SAVINGS STAMPS. Not to be behind in other lines, Springfield High Within the short period of two Weeks beginning March 27, became 100 per cent in Thirft Stamps. The Junior Class has the honor of being the first 100 per cent class and this record Was attained six days after the contest started. The Seniors followed a close second, making their 100 per cent early on the morning of the seventh day. As soon as the school was 100 per cent in Thirft Stamps Mr. Kingsbury began the campaign to make the school the equivalent of 100 per cent in War Savings Stamps. Up to date the total in stamps is 32,880 and is steadily increasing. BOOK DRIVE. In March the High School took its part in the second nation-wide book drive. In this drive, class competition introduced no little excitement. The Junior Class won the drive with 11.5 per cent per capita, the Seniors, second with 10.9 per cent and Sophomores, although they collected more books than either one of the other classes, has 8.4 per cent per capita to their credit. In all 25,000 books Were collected by Springfield High School. 361.50 was collected in money in the first drive. The city of St. Louis only collected 21,000 books. BOYS' WORKING RESERVE. Those boys in the service in army and navy are not the only ones who are helping Uncle Sam. From this school almost fifty boys are now working on farms and are doing their best as members of the Boys, Working Reserve. Certainly this Work is fully as important and deserves as much credit as any other branch of service. RED CROSS IN S. H. S. Early in the spring it was decided that a Red Cross Shop would be installed in the High School probably, merely as an experiment. The first few days it was necessary to have only one instructor in charge. but now a corps of ive or six are kept busy all day long. Approximately one hundred and fifty students, some of whom are boys, to to the shop every day. Every period in the day the room is filled with busy Workers. r In April about 90,000 surgical dressings were sent from Sangamon County and over 20,000 were made that month in the High School Red Cross room, Besides dressings, bandages, hospital garments etc., are made. So the Springfield Red Cross has become an established institution and is doing its utmost to aid this great agent of love in its deeds of mercy to their soldiers and people, and to ours.

PRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL is in the midst of the evolution of many things, not the least among which is the Student Council. Gray-haired Seniors can remember how the idea. flared up last year in the old building and then winked out leaving student council in bad odor. This year Mr. Kingsbury fanned the flame to life again. Two members from each session room were elected to form a representative council for each of the classes. These groups have met periodically with the session head teachers to discuss and plan for things purely class interest. It was through these groups that the various class assemblies were planned and executed. Class parties were hatched in them. Through the effort of these representatives the war work of the class has been carried on. From these larger groups a kind of senate or upper house has been chosen: Two representatives from each class council 3 one appointed by the session head and one elected by the council. This select body of Hpatres conscriptin have con- ferred with Mr. Kingsbury on matters relating to the school as a whole. Through their leadership the matinee dances were managed successfully. Through them too the councils have taken up the matter of hall supervision which has reduced itself to almost the vanishing point as a problem. As last year, there has been some objection raised to the council. The com- plaint has been voiced that the organization does not give true student representa- tion, but serves merely as a tool for the powers that be. When this objection is raised, two things should be kept in mind. First: a perfect system of student government has never yet been evolved over night. The whole thing must and should take time. Then secondly, we as students are inclined to forget that self-government is liberty under restraint. Too many of us are like the Russian revolutionists. We think that liberty means license. The circles of our duties can only be enlarged as we show that our concepts of responsibility have enlarged. Any thinking student will say that the results so far are encouraging. SENIORS. JUNIORS.

The Hoor was fine the jazz sublime A grand success was it. Scene two, 'Tis true. Kingsbury came before the schoolg Declared that books were needed.

'T 0 L 1 NE mr'-ll 41 WAR ADVERTISING. N EVERY TOWN AND CITY advertising has made itself absolutely neces- sary. It is no more dispensable in the routine of daily life than the telephone or the street car. It has become a part of the machinery by which we accomplish things and it will remain so as long as man has intercourse with his fellowmen. Since America's entry into War, advertising has taken its place in the great army behind the lines. It has put over, over here, the three Liberty loans, the Thrift Stamp and Red Cross drives, the Y. M. C. A. drive and the appeal for 'I books for soldiers. Every moment has been made big with more and more insistent calls for service. None have responded more generously to these demands than the business men of Springfield, Yet despite these sacrifices, despite the just need for conser- vation and retrenchment, the men whose advertisements fill these pages are as loyal to Springfield as they are to the nation. They have not forgot that this High School is a part of Springfield. The Capitoline realizes that in the noise of world War its voice may not carry far, but it is sure that loyal High School students and teachers stand ready to patronize the merchants, professional men, and organizations whose ads appear here. The Capitoline Wishes to thank its advertisers and to urge the school to patronize them at every opportunity. HARMON LUSHBAUGH, Advertising Manager. Page one 7llL1ld7'6d and twelve EEHERS.

Thursday, 4-Ilve never kept a diary. But I'm going to keep one from today on, because my teacher told me that when he was a boy he always kept a book he called a diary in which to write his thoughts and other peoples'. My teacher looks like he could keep a good diary because he has such a strong character, and his ears are so large that he could easily hear other people's thoughts. He looks at you as if he was reading your thoughtseand he does. Once he said that if the f'Outlook was on the outlook, they would have him on their payroll. I started to school today and the new building is sure great. We had to stand up all day because there are no seats, and the drinking fountains fail to run. I retired an hour late tonight. I don't like to keep a diary very much, its too much work. No wonder my teache-r's head is getting bald. In looking over the above which I have wrote I find that there is lots there that I have never writ efore. Friday, 5-School ran in regular periods, or rather I would say irregular, because neither clocks nor bells have been put in yet, and the teachers went by their watches and if one was fast, his class got out early. I don't like to stand up but my book on manners says to let the ladies sit down and then if there are not enough chairs the fellows must stand up. Saturday, 6-I acted like a sport today and spent two bits to see our first foot- ball game. It was played on our new field and with our old rival, Jacksonville, but we beat them 14 to 6. YOU CAN BE A WISER BUYER BY READING THESE ADS. Sunday, 7-I'm not sure one records their doinls on Sunday. I went to church because she was going to be there and I walked home with her. She's the swellcst girl in town. Tuesday, 8-I had to go to the office the first time today and stand before the bar Qlack of brass rail notedj. They had me down for domestic science, the first period, and since she says she can cook and I know she can make good candy, I donlt want to learn how. They made me assistant bartender in the office. Saturday, 13.kGee, I skipped a couple of days. Well I can't tell all I didn't do since Tuesday, and I can't take the time or tell all I did do. I've got a season football ticket now and I went to the game today. We played Peoria Manual and seeinls today is the thirteenth, Peoria could only get 13 points and our team made 21 points. Saturday, 20.-Our team went to Normal today and got beat 3 to 20. Joe scored with a drop kick. Thursday, 25.-I am tired tonight because school lasten from 8:30 to 3:30.

It has finally settled the terrible dispute of the dollar deficit in the treasury, thus permitting the World Powers to continue with the war. Much credit is due our president who finally negotiated the settling of the dispute, even though he was hampered by the absence of the secretary. The Bunglers are also a very talented organization. Among the most noted of their musicians is Mr. Accordion Badly, our famous ballast swinger, who has charmed vast audiences at our celebrated H Bungler Lynching Bee and Slow Down. We have also, a pair of African Harpists who have established their place on the list of unmitigated pests by their horrible 'musical offerings 'I he less said about the terrible Bungler Quartette, the better. Somehow or other, they manage to survive each performance, probably through some gift of the Gods. As to our debaters, none excel them. We have in particular, a small dynamic gentleman with a shining mop of cranium vegetation, and an exceedingly lively tongue. The judges who see, as well as hear him debate, invariably mistake his cerebral foliage for the lamp of knowledge. He graduates this year, however.

The eminent virtuoso of the pen, Solomon Red Heifer bids fair to outdo even the famous Vachel Lindsay in his beautiful Word paintings. The mighty Jawn Bugstreteher is also an import- ant member of this great organization. As to their musical ability, We need but point out the eminent musician Raymond Badcornfield, the terrible 'cellist, who is said to have caused a general exodus of the feline population of his neighborhood, and is next expected to play the part of the Pied Piper of Hamlin. It is he who furnishes the sad, moaning we hear every time the orchestra plays for assembly. Also We cannot doubt their business ability, the f-uture owner of the Spring- field News-Record, is doubtful in their midst, While he who signs his name with a Jr on the end, will probably supply the school with regulation tablets in the future.

Its mystical significance is derived from the fact that it is a combination of four, the number of perfection, and three, the number of balls on a pawn shop sign.

S., those who are on duty at noon in the cafeteria. It is to these diligent sufferers, whom we are greatly indebted for the mistakes in our checks, change, etc., and for the worst of all mistakes, the chili. M t MAKE IT A POINT TO TELL THESE ADVERTISERS YOU SAW THEIR AD. In order that we may more fully appreciate the efforts of these workers, we have herein placed a cut of the beautiful new Hservants' flag, which we hope will adorn our cafeteria next year. Note the beautiful stars! The small ones represent Mr. Graham, Miss Brian, Mr. Gray, Mr. Tomlinson, Mr. Greer, Mr. Lushbaugh and Mr. Poskover. The large one in the center, is Al. Cohen, who gouges out the ice-cream. He is the most important member of the corps. Without his endless efforts we would go dessert-less as well as meatless, wheatless, and everything else-less on the Less days. The most unpopular of these servants, we regret to say, Cfor it is no fault of theirs,j are Mr. Graham and Mr. Tomlinson, who un- mercifully butcher our cheeks, and Mr. Greer, and Miss Brian, who gleefully rake in the shekels and dueats. Here's a tip though! Sh-h-h! One day our beloved editor went past there, and Miss Brian very kindly donated a dime to the cause, by giving him back too much change. However, the next day, Mr. Greer made it up by 'fJipping him eleven cents. This mere triiiing incident shows very plainly the remarkable team work with which this staff of workers operate. plainly the remarkable team work with which this staff of workers operate. Per- haps this is due to the careful coaching of Miss Baker, but we are inclined to think that it is the great initiative of the staff's members. We regret deeply the fact that a number of the staff leave us this year. Per- haps next year, however, we will be able to add more stars to our beautiful flag from the membership of the other classes so that the evniable record of this year may be maintained.

During the first few months of the school year, the walls of our beautiful building were decorated with little square dabs of scenery which lured the thirsty student to the spot, and left him stranded with a drinkless fountain. Then, too, so few of us were used to drinking from a saucer, that it became neces- sary to change them and place in their stead, the beautiful large ones which now adorn our massive building. They immediately became very popular, being so much like those in the court house square which we became so used to during our summer vacation, that now we find it impossible to resist them when we see them, and so we are often tardy to class. We feel that these fountains are a great asset to our school and admire the beautiful scenery which surrounds them, causing us to cultivate a sense of art, as well as satisfy our thirst. SERVICE IN THE CLASSROOM. During the past year, our classes have become so popular, that it has been necessary to secure the aid of laboratory assistants whose duty is to mark papers, conduct classes, and especially to receive the numerous boquets, presents, and letters of congratulation, that daily pour in to the teachers from appreciative students. Indeed it has become so popular, the instruction in our school, that Mr. Harri- man has found it necessary to secure the services of a staff of five assistants, While Mr. Barnes has a staff of which J. Wood is a member, and it his, no doubt, his particular duty to act as Mr. Barnes' private secretary, and read the numerous YOU CAN BE A WISER BUYER BY READING THESE ADS. letters of congratulation on his famous Math Books.

We can hardly term it a symphony orchestra, nor could we justly leave off the sym and call it a phony orchestra 5 however, we might compro- mise, and calle it a sympathy orchestra. It is the one organization of the school, posessing the happy faculty of rising to an occasion. For instance, when the Junior class were called upon to entertain in assembly, being short of material for an entertainment, they sent out a hurry call to the orchestra. This great aggregation responded nobly to the Call of the Wild, rose to the occasion, and saved the day. The orchestra has been laboring all year under difiieulties. It lacks instru- ments. There are no jew's harps, accordions, ukuleles, tambourines, or bones. Also there is a lack of bass instruments, says Doug McLain. He says there should be at least ten or fifteen bass drums. However, this lack of bass would be remedied, if only Douglas would eondeseend to sing bass. We cannot dispute the educational value of this orchestra. In the first place, it proves to us conclusively that all the horrors of war are not on the other side, and that therefore We should fight hard, here at home, to keep the wolf from THESE ADS ARE GUARANTEED-READ THEM. our door. Also, the deep feeling of sympathy for Ray Goodpasture, and his companion in misery, who struggles valiantly with the elephantine bass vile, is an incentive for us to do good work in school, and live up to the standard set by these brave men. Then too, after listening to the beautiful selections rendered by this stupendous organization, we feel rested, and more able to gouge into the arguments of Burke, or the works of Wordsworth, Byron, and the rest of our 12-2 Englis course. Indeed, this is a most fortunate school and is to be congratu- lated upon having such a number of faithful followers of Pan, and we hope for our orchestra, many more years of success in the future. THE GLEE CLUBS. Musical S. H. S. has a pair of wonderful musical organizations, purely vocal. These are the Girls' Cwlee Club and the Boys' Glee Club. At all hours of the day, due to the complicated practice system, may be heard the most terrible of sounds, the glee clubs in action. We now understand why it was that last February, when the workmen were trying to regulate the Ventilating system, that they were so long about it. They were hampered by the horrible sounds which shook the ventilators until it became almost impossible to make any headway. As for the prowess of these organizations, practice is all that they need. They certainly do not suffer from lack of material. Our High School abounds in material. In the Boys' Cflee Club, there is the notorious Squall Brothers' Quartette, which alone has sufficient members to furnish any kind of an entertainment that could be desired. The Squall Brothers' Quartette is composed of Bob Butts, the unbearable Page one lwmdrecl and fifty-four I C' '1918' T' ' ' -:tr , The I All boys and girls graduating from l High Schools should be urged to enter college, technical school or normal school.

Aside from these terrible four, we add to the list, Hoe Bert Lynn, Laugh-ham's team mate in agony. One consolation we have however, is the fact that Doug McLain does not sing bass. This Glec Club has sang in the State Arsenal so many times, that the floor has been condemned, in an effort to put an end to the agonizing musical efforts of this heartless bunch. As for the Girls, Glee Club, Words cannot express our feeling toward them. We should have to secure the efforts of a Jazz Band to truly represent to them, our feelings. - As a whole, the Glee Clubs have had a very successful year, and will doubtless continue to have as long as they stay organized as they now are. Much credit is due Miss Gardner, for her efforts in their behalf. We realize what a terrible strain she must be working under, when she has to keep Shand, Butts, Morton, Wood, and Lynn, from tearing up the music and thus destroying the harmony. As for getting any music out of them is concerned, this is indeed, a stupendous undertaking. Congratulations, Miss Gardner, and Glee Clubs, on your wonder- fully successful year!

The Editor-in-Chief will be back in a minute, and he certainly likes to sit on the window sill while listening to the Business Manager's daily line. Please manage to upset a bottle of ink on our latest cartoon. We just laugh, and laugh, and laugh. It tickles us to see you upset things. Be sure and use the telephone, and call up Anna, Helen, Maggie, and the rest. By all means, read all the books we have and be sure and forget to put them back in place. That's the Business Manager's job. Look over the Society Editor's shoulder, and read the copy, tell us how rotten it is, how good your sister did that work last year, and how the year book is going to the hounds. Bring your friends when you come, and stand around in our way so we can get a bawling out when we step on your feet. Stay awhile and talk about last year's football season, the Junior-Senior Prom, the Indoor Track Meet, the last snowstorm in Kansas, girls, the prospects for basketball next year, Mr. Dobbins' tortoise shell glasses, your vacation this summer, how good the Bulletin was this year, girls, how bum the Capitoline will be this year, girls, and girls. It gives us inspirations and everything. THESE ADS ARE A PART OF THE BOOK-READ THEM. As you leave, help yourself to one of the boxes of rubber bands. They are over in the far corner of the room, so that you'll have to climb over the table to get to them, and muss everything up. The Business Manager donated them to the staff. As you leave, also help yourself to anything else you sec in the oHLicc. We hope by the end of the year, everything will be carried off, so that we son't have to bother to move out. Be sure and come back and get your rubbers. You left them on that new proof we just received from the printers, because they were too dirty to leave on the floor, Cwhich hasn't been swept for a monthb.

THE BULLATON. The Bullaton has been a tremendous success this year. Being issued free, the student Who reads it hasn't the nerve to kick about it, and therefore no objec- tions have been raised concerning this great publication. There being no objections raised, we conclude from this fact, that the paper has been a tremendous success. The upkeep of this paper was provided for by a Stunted Ball, given on the evening of February lst., 1918, and on the Auditorium stage and the Gymnasium Hoor. Everyone came to the Ball, and almost everyone went away 25 cents poorer and much wiser. Since then, the Bullaton has contained numerous cuts drawn by the celebrated artist Karl Somebull, of Delf-hick fame, and one issue contained twelve pages, the twelfth being a wonderful page entitled The Funnyside, which was furnished at an enormous cost by the printers. Also, there were numer- ous items concerning Doug. McLain, and between these two wonderful additions, this issue became one of the most successful ever put out. As a whole, the Bullaton has been a remarkable success, and the student body as a Whole are indebted to the ever Working staff for great edifying and entertaining qualities which all if the issues have possessed during the past year. YOU CAN BE A WISER BUYER BY READING THESE ADS. THE KAPITOLINE. This publication of tl1e school is of great educational value to the high school student, as well as serving as a Hloosenern and loosening him up to the tune of one dollar. In this respect, it is also of value to the faculty. As to its educational value, let us examine carefully the effect it has upon the student. First, he learns that there is such a paper. Then he planks down his dollar, and finally, after patiently waiting for a long time, receives his book. After looking through its pages, he realizes what a fool he has been. He has learned one of the most valuable maxims of life: t'Don't bite at everything. He then goes to the library and takes down a copy of Kipling's 'KA Fool There Was,', hoping to find in it some words of consolation by some poor unfortunate soul who has already bitten, thereby gaining a knowledge of good literature. To this extent, is the Kapitoline a truly educational publication. If you donit like the book. tell your troubles to the Business Managerg he'll probably console you. If you do, don't hesitate to tell the whole staff. A friend in need, is a friend indeed, you know. We expect it, anyway. That's the resaon we are hanging around the halls so much of the time. Whether you like it or not, it has been a success, as much as the other publica- tions. Look at the recreation it has furnished the Staff! We have had a fine time, throwing things down the ventilators, and making trips to the cafeteria, after school. XVe may say then, that it has been a tremendous success, and still have a clear conscience. As a conclusion, we wish to thank you, one and all, for the sup- port you have given us. and wishing you a Merry Fhristmas and a Happy New Year, we remain yours truly, HTHE S'rAFr.

S. not only has a f'Bullaton and a Kapitoline, but also a number of miscellaneous publications, which are issued at frequent internvals throughout the school year, in order to break the monotony of school life. The Staff which publishes these publications, is composed of The Faculty, The Office Force, and The High School Print Shop. Probably the most noted of these publications is the Tardy Slip. This publi- cation is by no means an annual. It is issued at nine o'clock in the morning and four times a day after that. The price of this publication is 3 per cent deduction from your grades for the nine olclock' edition, and one per cent for the other four editions. It is a very popular edition, and has a wide circulation. Another of these publications having a Wide circulaion, is the Delinquent Scholarship Report. This one is issued to any one who indicates by his work in any class that he desires one, free of charge. The Report Card, issued every six Weeks, is certainly the most unique of all of the publications. It consists of a card, one side of which contains space for the Parent's Signature, and the other side being marked off into squares in which our teachers seem to love to play tit-tat-toe. H The most exclusive of all of these publications, is the Diploma. This is issued only to those who have endured the Whole four years of the trials and tribulations of school life. Whether it is intended to be a letter of congratulation, or one of condolence, we do not know. They come in three ounce packages only, and are tied with a ribbon. To open, turn to the left and jerk ribbon. The Miscellaneous Publication Bureau is to be congratulated upon their publications. They are very enlightening, especially to the parents, and We hope that theygwill be-continued during the next year. THESE ADS ARE GUARANTEEDQREAD THEM. I EXHIBIT FIFTEEN. At last, ladies and gents, we have passed through the Morgue, and have gazed upon the dead and dying jokes of the past centuries. At last we have come to Exhibit Fifteen. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the mummy of the oldest ofthe old, decrepit, and .ancient jokes. It is this joke, that the serpent used in order to get poor Eve in a good humor, before tempting her, in the Garden of Eden. This is the joke that she passed on to Adam, Adam passed on to Cain, Cain to Abel, and so on down to the present day. At last, ladies and gentlemen, it has found its final resting place in this Morgue: He-Did'ja ever hear the story of thel empty box? I THE She-No, what is it? I FIRST He-Nothin' init! Ha! Ha! 5 JOKE And now, in conclusion, my friends, I thank you for the kind attention you have given me, and for your approval, and hope that your journey through this Morgue has been cdifying as Well as entertaining. As you pass out, leave your boquets, crimson cabbages, and compliments with the Gate-keeper. He Will preserve them for me until I have conducted anouthcr party through my domain. My beloved patrons, I bid you an affectionate farewell! - NYE KEEPERE OF YE MoRGUE. slit? 1 I l 1- fff one 1121111111-rl and Sf.1'f1j-f01L7' Springfield's Largest Job Printing and Binding Establishment Ellie Elllinnia Stair Elnurnal Job Department The Composition in this publication was done on the Monotype-the only plant in Springfield using Monotypes Phone Main 2954.

The achievements of the Seniors in this last year have been due in a large measure to one, Calvin VV. White of Whom it may be said that there never has been a time when he has refused to Work for the good of the student body. Possessed of a winning personality and sympathetic character he has Won the esteem of the whole Senior Class whose good fortune it has been to have him as a faculty advisor. He has been a veritable light house, keeping us from the rocks and shoals in political controversies and in over enthusiastic class meetings. When Miss Wright took her team to Quincy she left the home team under the care of Mr. White, Who capably gave them their last encouragement and coaching. When the Seniors were to give a program in assembly and had only one day in which to prepare it Mr. White came to the rescue and the Seniors were able to give a creditable entertainment. It Was necessary to have scenery' for the class play. C. W. was on hand and the plays were not without the necessary Wings and Hats. And in countless other little ways Mr. White has worked for the betterment of Springfield spirit. The Capitoline takes this means of thanking Mr. White most heartily in behalf of the Senior Class for his interest and endeavor. We also wish to thank him for the invaluable Work he has done for the Capitoline itself. As faculty eritic he has not limited himself to destructive Work but he has offered valuable construc- tive criticisms. To Miss Laura Butler and Miss Libbie lVIeLean who have so generously typewritten our copy for us, we wish to extend our sincere appreciation. To count- less others who have in various Ways contributed to the betterment of this book We Wish to extend our thanks. Space does not permit of naming them but their services have been appreciated and the Capitoline takes pleasure in saying, f'Well donelu 1918 Page one lzfuizclrccl and sixty-scten L f
