'- '1918' 1' ' ' 'lv THE C AP 1lIllIP.5ili iiiB:lE.... 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.
