Motif UST as every piece of architecture must be built around some central motifg just as every -great score of music must be built around some basic theme, just as every master- piece of literature must have one central idea 3-just so this book, the record of the events of the year now closed, must have some theme on which to build-some general plan with which to bind the many parts into one unitary whole. We have chosen to present to you the drama of Student Life-the portrayal of everyday life as it really exists in Springfield High School with all of the humor, the pathos, the victory, and the defeat, each having its share in our existence, each becoming a vital part of our very lives, and each leaving us a pleasant memory of times that were and ZIYC 110 IHOYC. May it be that when time has stolen years and pleasures away, this record may contribute to your memories of Student Life and half your joys renew. Foreword 0 present the Springfield High School as an institution of learning, of character, and of cultureg To express the appreciation of the student hody for the willing co-operation and friendly ad- vice of the faculty and patrons of this schoolg To faithfully and accurately record the events of the year just closedg and To present the drama of Student Life with its humor, its pathos, and its achievement, culminating in that climax of climaxes, Commencement VVeek. This is the high goal to which we, the editorial staff of the 1927 Capitoline, have set for ourselves. If we achieve hut a portion of this task, our efforts will not have been in vain.

McCOY This year marked the fourth year of Principal D. YV. McCoy's work in Spring- field High School. During that time, he has constantly striven to maintain a high standard of achievement in both scholas- tic and extra-curricular activities. In this work he has held the hearty respect, ad- miration, and co-operation not only of the students, the faculty, and the school board, but also of the general public with whom he has come in contact. Himself a lover of good music, he has been untiring in his efforts to build up a strong musical organization in the high school, being responsible in a large meas- ure for the organization and Financing of the band and having much to do with the provision- of adequate facilities which have made the astounding progress of the orchestra possible. The creation of the office of Dean of Mr- MCCOY Boys came about largely through his efforts, two years ago. He was directly responsible for the organization of the Central Illinois High School Athletic Association, a conference of twelve of the largest high schools in central Illinois. In connection with this movement, he served as its President for the first two years of existence and assumed direct charge of the First and Second Annual Spring Meets of the conference, held in this city. His genial friendliness, keen sense of humor, and sympathetic under- standing of student problems have endeared him to the Student Body, and the Class of 1927, the first to spend their four years under his guidance, will always cherish a warm spot in their hearts for D, W.,' His educational pedigree is: DWIGHT' W.

DAVIS Although he holds perhaps the most unpleasant position on the Administrative staff, Mr. Davis, the disciplinary officer, has constantly held the respect of the student body and is far from being un- popular with the students, with whom he comes in almost daily contact. His capa- bility to adapt himself to new situations, his understanding of the psychology of adolescence, and his pleasing personality admirably ht him for his task. His interests lie more along oratorical and athletic lines, he being a member of the Athletic Board of Control and of the Debate Committee. He did not coach any of the Debate teams this year, as he has done in past years, but his thoughtful criticisms and helpful suggestions proved of practical beneht to our debaters. Mr. Davis has received his degrees of Bachelor and Master of Arts from the University of lllinois. NICHOLS Upon Mr. Nichols falls the task of lead- ing the Freshmen through the most try- ing days of their High School years, the semester immediately following their en- trance into High School. Coming from diderent schools, they must adapt them- selves to a new routine, stricter discipline, and a greater demand for leadership with more emphasis upon individual achieve- ment than they have been accustomed to. Reserved, self-contained, yet firm, Mr. Nichols successfully copes with these tasks and wins many friendships among the Freshmen with his quiet, yet warm friendliness and sympathetic understand- ing. He received his degree of Bachelor of Arts from VVabash College and has done graduate work at the University of Wisconsin. 19 2 7 IIIIIIIIII lllll I I IIIIIIII II IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IlllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII lllll The Capitoline MISS DAVIDSON Miss Davidson is our Dean of Girls and in that capacity she has done very much to raise the standard of the school along social lines and along those activities that pertain to girls. In this work, she has organized the Senior Girls Council, has directed the publication of a handbook of the school, and has paved the way for the refurnishing of the Housekeeping Suite, the scene of many of the student social functions. This Suite also houses her office and that of the School Nurse, Miss Boswell. These accomplishments alone are enough to indicate the initiative and spirit of progress that has characterized all of her work. She has the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and has attended ln- diana University, State Normal, and Franklin College. Miss Davidson MR. WENTZ Mr. XVentz does for the boys what Miss Davidson does for the girls, he is the Dean of Boys. His work brings him in intimate contact with all of the boys of the junior and Senior classes since he personally directs the arranging of their schedule cards. his wide experience in both the teaching profession and in the business profession aiding him in the wise choice of subjects for the particular indi- vidual with whom he is working. He will be remembered as a former coach of athletics in Springfield High School and next fall will find him back at the job, turning out teams that we trust will be as successful as some of his previous teams were. He has a degree of Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.

The other three are open to Seniors onlyg one to the girl making the highest aver- age in Household Artsg one to the boy doing the best work in Manual Artsg and one to the best all-round boy in the class.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIII Illllllllllllr 1 9 2 7 llllllllllll Thirty-Four The Capitoline'---'-'--N THE DEAN OF GIRLS According to the bulletin, The Vocation of Dean, there are forty-four most commonly mentioned duties of a dean-some days it may run forty-five, others forty-three, but never less than forty. Space will not permit a de- scription of each duty, but each works towards a specific objective of the Dean, Guidance of the Individual. The ultimate aim of this is to guide each individual towards her full and complete development. It is not enough to build bridges, the student must know what lies on the other side and be guided to make the right choice of routes for themselves. 'This process in- volves educational, vocational, social, health, and moral guidance. In educational guidance the dean, in co-operation with others, should begin with the eighth grade and continue through high school in regard to choosing courses, adapting curricula, and correlation of studies with outside activities. To be sure, enough time is saved to consider seriously the matter of dropping a subject and to persuade girls into believing that all required subjects are very, very easy. Also to remember that an average of eighty- five is required of those carrying five subjects. Then follows choosing a college fnot at all difficult for somej or a vocation. The latter is a field in itself and should be under the supervision of an expert, the dean doing emergency work in co-operation with the teachers. Social as well as educational guidance must be provided by the school. The dean's chief opportunity in this is through extra-curricular activities. The most important one is to guide, stimulate, promote, and limit pupil activities, to achieve the ideals set forth, and occasionally be a Ugloried chaperone Qwhich often detracts from the more constructive aimj. Health and mental guidance is perhaps the most important of all. Here the dean has an opportunity to co-operate with the school nurse, that each pupil may have a sound body to do a task and the right attitude towards the task. A girl with a feeling of what's the use? is just about as happy in studying as a girl with a toothache. Moral guidance naturally falls as a by-product if all other objectives are well achieved. All school life should be so permeated with right atti- tudes, ideals, interests, and examples that moral guidance should unconscious- ly result. There are certainly demands, nevertheless, for direct moral guid- ance. Co-operation with the principal, home, and teachers on girl problems is necessary. People are always present in the minds of a dean. Alia Freeman Palmer said: It is people that count. Put yourself into people. Surely then, human values are the supreme values, and supreme should have supreme emphasis. Miss Blanche M. Davidson, Dean of Girls. lllllllllll 1 9 2 7 llllllllll IIllIIllIIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllll lllll Thirty-Fifvf llllll i I Thirty-Six MRS. JONES THE CAFETERIA Mrs. jones, the cafeteria directress, has managed the organization to the advant- age of the majority of students and has operated it on a paying hasis. She has employed students to fill all places which they can capably handle and has engaged a staff of women to carry out the prepa- ration of the food. XVith the personnel of student employees changing at short intervals, she has moulded them into an organization to co-operate with the per- manent staff of women, with each other, and with her. She has the appreciation, respect, and support of all of her em- ployees and to her the school owes the success of its cafeteria. llllllllllllllnllllllllllllllllllllllllllllnlllllllxlllllllllllullllxlIIIIIullllllnlIIllllxlullIxlnllnllllllllllllllll 1 9 2 7 lllIlllllllllllllllllllllllll IIIllIllIIllulllllllllllIlmlllIIllIllllllllllllIIllllnllIllIII!lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll ' The CAFETERIA STUDENT HELP Robert Stevens Billy Meteer Jerome Burtle Frank VViesenmeyer Hugh Graham Ashley Coats James Lawton Harry Stoutanieyer Lloyd Sheets Harry Moody Glenn Hubbard Elden Campbell Meredith Saxer VVilliam Becker Leonard Tomlinson Leslie Coats Alfred Oliver Roy DeSilva Theodore Baehman Lester Roberts Kenneth Stinnet Harold Bennett Alice Powers CHECKERS AND CASHIERS Freeman Butts Thomas Gilkison Cecil Lanham Robert Schuster Charles Stephens OTHER HELP SENIORS Vxfilliam Wiiies Edwin Buekholdt Roderick VVilliams John Kuster Roland Vaseoneellos Earl Lamken JUNIORS George Leisenring Theodore Overheld lllarion Coy Charles Rittenhouse SOPHOMORES-FRESHMEN Elroy Kraesch Edward Collins VVilbur Mills David Jones Everett Simondson Lloyd Hughes Fred Crook Charles VX'ard Adeline Sweet Desmond Jones Turner Miller Stanley Thomas Roy Kaywood Clarence Fleischli Howard Lehman Frank Jepson Williaiii Seifert Elmer Tomlinson Henderson May Cassius Cain John Ketterer Paul Levin Ralph Saner Robert Crook Samuel Mulford Roland Baehman John Harney Ralph Saner Kenneth Pottoroff Marian MeLemore Franklin Hermann Herbert Coats II I Illllllllll I Illllllll HIIIII I I IIIII mn n lun mnunnnlllilliununn I nlmlu ll ll llulllllli 19 2 7 lllllllll I IIIIIIIHIIIUI llllllllllllll lUlll'll lU l l ' UU' Thirty-Sefven H ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' The Capitoline '''' ' ' 2 '17 . . . 1 If qa-!A?.Q Qiiwagfsgwfiaifzeaaa-535132.16 iq n. ,J W Q vi . 2, - f. -5 iii?

This recognition makes the honor of having a high scholastic stand- 1 ing just as great as that received in athletics or any other school activity. Membership is open to every graduating student who fulfills the following J g requirements: -I The student must have carried his work with a general average of 8572 for the four years of his High School course. He must average 90727 for three years in at least one major subject. No student shall be elected to membership in the Springfield Scholarship Society who shall have in any way disgraced or discredited the Springfield High School. After the student has proved his eligibility to membership by fulfilling the above qualifications he receives the following recognition in a special assembly convened for that purpose: A bronze seal is placed upon his diploma with a ribbon indicating the particular department in which he has attained high honors. He is given a certificate from the department in which he has attained high honors, signed by the instructors with whom he had work in that department. He is given a bronze medal as a permanent recognition of the high esteem the school places on his achievement. In the Senior Class of 1927, the following students completed all requirements and have been elected to the Springfield Scholarship Society: ' Henry Barber Margaret Frankenfeldt Katherine Lewis Lorraine Robie Anna. Bergschneider George French Cordelia Lochman Esther Rovin Charles Briggle Helen Goodwin Armitta Long Mary Jane Seifert Jerome Burtle Hugh Graham Marian Lyon Marian Simonson Freeiman Butts Ruth Griffin Helen Marx Charles Stephens Mary Cado Harry Hensel Betty MeKown William Sullivan Grace Chard Helen Irwin William Meteer Mary Swerplus Mary Chepulis Edna Jacob Ida Oberman Wilbur Thomas William Conwill Charles Jorgemson Gertrude O'Brien Paul Trutter Ancil Cralvins Mildred Jost Robert Paul Ruth Walker Mary Crookston Kathryn Kimble Roland Pfeifer Ruth Watt Mary Feger' ' Roy Kunz Bernadine Piper Mary Week Jane Fleeman John Kuster Janet.

VVith two gymnasiums, up-to-date apparatus, and plenty of locker and shower space, it lacks only a natatorium to make it complete. But not alone on efficient apparatus does the athletic success of a school rest-the teams miist be well coached in order to take the best advantage of their equipment, The me the teams must be well equipped themselves to handle the none to easy task of their material. n behind training In this respect we have nothing to askg our staff of coaches is by far one of the best in Central Illinois. l Very few schools of our size 'have three well trained, efficient coaches whose business is to turn out teams that will maintain the high standard that past teams of S. H. S. have set. Some years they may fall short of this standard, but the t always a credit to the school and to their coaches. CHTHS 3.l'8 Mr. Royal has had, in the past year, charge over the entire Athletics Department, and has himself coached the football and track teams, He is very well equipped to coach, having had experience under Coach Zuppke at the University of Illinois and coaching experience at other high schools in the country. practical Mr. Huseth assumed charge over the basketball team and was able to relieve Coach Royal of the tremendous task of breaking off with the football season to take up of the basketball season. This way, We were able to put a team on the floor the work the first Saturday after the close of the football season, whereas heretofore this would have been p impossible. Huseth is himself a basketball player of local reputation, having played on the LaCrosse Normal team and this year on the Knights of Columbus team. Mr Roellig again assumed the task of coaching the baseball team, and rep eated his successjof former seasons. He, too, comes from LaCrosse, and while there had a creditable reputation as an athlete. He likewise assisted Royal in coaching the football team and directed the coaching of the Freshmen.

Of these twenty, fifteen were chosen from the student body and the remaining live from the faculty. The faculty, however, were allowed three votes apiece so that the power was evenly distributed. The main work of the Athletic Board of Control is to manage the affairs of the athletic teams of the school. In this work they provide for the financ- ing of the teams, plan and carry out good, live pep assemblies, award varsity letters, and manage the affairs incident to the management of tournaments and other similar meets. The biggest task this year was the management of the District Basket- ball Tournament in which fourteen teams participated. All of the expenses were paid by the Athletic Board of Control, from the Athletic Treasury and from the gate receipts. Due to the size of the schools entered, not one of which was even one-half as large as Springfield High, this task was all the more difficult than if the teams had have been drawing cards and thus boosted the gate receipts. But the Board managed the meet so efficiently that no pecuniary loss resulted. Coach Royal was the presiding officer of the Board and his practical suggestions and ideas were of inestimable value to the members of the Athletic Board of Control and had much to do with the shaping of the policy of the organization. l III IIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIII Illllll IIII Illlllll I III I I I IIIII I IIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIII 1 9 2 7 Illll IIIII III Illlllllllllllllllllll ll Illll Illlllllllllllll llllllllll IIIIIIIIIIIIllIlIIIIllllllIIIIIIIINIIIIIIIIIIIIIY Fifty-Eight ' ' ''''''''''' The CapI'l.1OlI1'1C ' ' ' ''''''''''''''''' ' ATHLETICS SUMMARY This Athletic season was far different from that of last year in that no spec- tacular records were made in any branch of sport offered by the Athletics Depart- ment. But that did not mean that the teams lacked any of the 'ADO or Diey' spirit that has characterized the Red and Black teams of the past. Far from it. They fought in spite of the great odds that their own inexperience and the general all- round superior playing of their adversaries and turned in a record that any high school would be proud of and one which every loyal son and daughter of Spring- field High School is proud to claim. The coaches were faced at the outset with the problem of training new men for the teams and handling men who had had very little, if any, experience in actual games. In Football, Captain Burtle and Bansbach were the only letter men back, while Munn, Stanton, George, Keys, Smith, and Ayer had had ex- perience on the second team the year previous. Notwithstanding, Royal turned out a team that won two games, tied one, and lost five. On each occasion where the games resulted in a loss, however, it was generally to a team that outweighed them in every position and on a muddy field where the heavier team had the ad- vantage. In Basketball, the conditions were possibly worse since no man out had played the previous year, and none of the men had had any experience under I-Iuseth. But the results were most satisfying despite the handicaps and many of the games were lost by but one basket or a point or two. The regular playing season resulted in three wins and eleven losses. Two of these victories were in the Big Twelve Conference and were the most exciting games ever played on the S. H. S. Hoor. In the District Tournament, the team went into the second round by virtue of a well deserved victory over Virden, only to lose a last minute success to Carlinville, after having a 5 point lead at the third quarter.

This game found but two regulars re- turned from last year, these two being Captain Burtle and Bansbach, both half-backs. The rest of the team was composed largely of men who had played on the second tg-am the year previous, however, so that most of them had had some experience. Neither team showed any great playing in this game, since it was the first of the seaso11 for both teams. Burtle and McGuire were the outstanding stars of the game while the line, although rather inexperienced, proved a veritable stone wall when neces- sary. The locals had things pretty much their own way after the first quarter, and managed to score two touchdowns and a field goal, proving their ability as a scoring machine. SPRINGFIELD 0+-LINCOLN 18 On a field which could easily have been termed a sea of mud with the water ankle deep in some portions, the powerful Lincoln eleven succeeded in outswirnming our team. This was the first game away from home for Royal's proteges and ended rather disastrously. It was a case of the heavier team having the advantage, and our team was far from being a team of giants. - In the slippery field, our light backfield was stopped before it got started, with the consequence that most of the end runs which had predominated the first game were discarded and straight football was resorted to. Lincoln, having the heavier team, was able to get farther on these tactics, so Springfield was forced to submit to defeat in her first Big Twelve encounter. SPRINGFIELD 0-DANVILLE 13 In the second Big Twelve game of the season, Danville successfully pulled her jinx and again defeated the Springfield eleven. But it was a tough fight throughout, and the victory was well earned. Although outweighed in the backfield, our team was about evenly matched in the line, so that the game was more spectacular than any of the games previous, with long passes and end runs to break the monotony of straight football. For the first three periods, the teams battled on pretty even terms, but the strain began to tell on our boys and the inevitable result could not be averted. The third quarter found the locals beginning to weaken and the fourth found them in such bad condition that Danville had no trouble at all in pushing across their two touchdowns by means of several passes which counted for long gains. With the game apparently over, both teams began to send in subs so that, at the final gun, hardly a man on the field had been there when the game started. It gave the coaches a good opportunity to look over the material even though the actual game was lost. This was our second loss in the Big Twelve as well as of the season. lIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIJ 1 9 2 7 llllllllllllllllllillllllllllllIIIIIllllllllllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllll Sixty ' ' ' The Capitoline ' 1 '1 ' ' ' --H''---'- '--'- '- -- SPRINGFIELD 17-CARLINVILLE 6 The ,two game losing streak was broken on the next Saturday when the boys gave Carlinville a run for its money. The teams were evenly matched and the first half was very hard fought with neither team doing much on the offense and Carlinville just making her six points on a fluke play. So when the gun went off, the fans who had followed the team were none too jubilant. But the second half was a different story altogether. The team came back with a dashing attack which literally swept the Red and Blue off their feet, with the consequence that by the time the time-keeper decided to call it a day, they had put across two touch- downs and a field goal to make the score 17. Bansbach and Joe Munn proved the sen- sations of the day. SPRINGFIELD OQPEORIA CENTRAL 13 With Captain Burtle on the sidelines on account of injuries, Coach was faced with a pretty tough proposition when he took the team to Peoria. All the more so since Springfield had been the team who broke Centralls otherwise perfect season last year with an 9-0 score. But the team had the old fighting spirit just the same, and they put up a scrappy iight withal, so that but one of Peoria's touchdowns was legitimately made, the other one coming as a result of a Springfield fumble within scoring distance. The feature of the game was the strong aerial attack which Peoria put up. It kept the locals guessing all the time and was directly responsible for their one legitimate touchdown. Many of the passes went for long gains when long gains were needed and thus counted for much of the scoring. SPRINGFIELD 6-JACKSONVILLE 6 The two cellar champions met on the next Saturday in one of the most exciting games of the season. Being so evenly matched, they put up a good iight throughout and were forced to resort to more spectacular playing than had been necessary in pre- vious games. Starting out with a bang-up offense, J'ville rolled down the field and, before the game was ten minutes old, had put across a touchdown. Fortunately, the kick for extra point went wide. Nothing daunted, our boys came right back with an equally strong offense and soon had the ball on their forty-yard line. Then Keys, the Passer, took the ball and threw it to Lawton, the Catcher, who was running down the side line as fast as he could tear. It looked like a goner for sure, but, with a supreme effort, he grabbed it on his fingertips and ran across the remaining ten yards for the touchdown. That closed the scoring for the day, but the rest of the game was a good exhibition of spectacular open field running and passing such as is rarely seen among high school teams. llIllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllIIlIIIlllIllIIllIllllIIIIlIlllIIIIIIlIIllIIIllIlllIllllllIlllIIlIIIlIlllIlIlllllllllllllllllllllll 2 7 IIIIIIIIIIlIIIIlllllllIllIllllllllllllIIIllllllHIlllllllllllllllIllllllllllIIIllllllIllllIIlllllllllIlIIIIIIlllllll-llllllllllllllll Sixty-One ' ' '' ' ' 'lT ' T The CHIDITOIIHC IlllllllllllllllllllmlllHlllllIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIllIIllIIllIIllIIllIIllIIllIIlllllljllllllllmlmllly 1 9 2 7 IIIIIII Burtle Munn Smith Rees Bansbach SPRINGFIELD 0-URBANA 26 A ' 'e were faced with a team which completely outweighed us, but our boys gain w put up a better fight than the score would seem to indicate. This was undoubtedly ' l atb the best team that Urbana has ever put into the field and the Red and Black were o to dispute their reputation. The light, fast backfield could do little, if anything, against the heavy line and the ends were handicapped by the weight of their opponents, so that the local attack 'was confined largely to passing and open Held running, whereas Urbana was in a position ' k round the to drive through our line at will and more than once carried their attac a ends for long gains. With such handicaps, one is mc inec to won e 1 hold Urbana to such a low score, but the reason is simple- Your Red and Black mean DO or DIET ' l' l d r how Springfield ever managed to SPRINGFIELD 0'-DECATUR 6 Wh t tl e Yale-Harvard game means to the sons of Old Elin and the f'Crin1son a 1 so the Springfield-Decatur game means to the Red and Black. No matter how dlsas trous the previous season may have been, if either team wins this game, the season has not been in vain. According to this logic, the 1926 season was in vainw as far as Spring- lz f th ' victory, field was concerned. But Decatur has the Red and Black to than or eir so we can claim a moral victory at least. ' P lt d the field was in such a condition The game was played at the Reservoir ar ' an as is referred to when ball games are Called off on account of wet grounds, only worse. After the third scrimmage, it was an almost impossible task to identify either team and it was no wonder that the Red and VVhite intercepted one of Keys' passes h d it in the opening minutes of play. Then when whoever got it did get his an s on , neither team could tell which gang he belonged to until he had run across the Decatur goal line for the only score of the game. The rest isn't worth mentioning.

The first half was listless, Springfield leading at the gun by a bare 5 to 4 score. The second half found both teams coming to life, with the consequence that the score was tied at 9 all at the third quarter. Then came a deluge of shots, with Virden seeming the more lucky. XVith but a minute to play, the score was 13-12 with the locals trailing and the fans praying for one more basket. But that basket was not forthcoming and Virden dropped in a free throw at the final gun to make it 14-12. SPRINGFIELD 19-CARLINVILLE 8 As several fans put it, Ulf Springfield had have placed half of their shots, Yirden would have been swamped. This game found the boys hitting the basket with greater regularity and as a result, Carlinville had to take a back seat. The first half was all Carlinville, with the Red and Black playing listless ball and trailing at the gun, 8-2. But the second half was a different story.The team came back with such pep and punch that they completely whitewashed Coach Robertson's proteges and scored 17 points while doing so. It was a great exhibition of a team's come-back and a game to be proud of. Burtle was high man with eight points to his credit. SPRINGFIELD 16-LINCOLN 18 This time the last half spurt didn't quite work. The boys took on Lincoln for their hrst Conference game and used practically the same tactics which they used against Car- linville. The half found Lincoln on top of a 10-3 score and the third quarter brought it up to 18 to 12. The fourth quarter was fast and furious with Huseth's men holding the visitors scoreless. Two more baskets raised the score to l6, but that wasn't enough to overcome the lead and in basketball, it's the team with the highest points who wins. Chenoski broke into the scoring column with three held goals to his credit. SPRINGFIELD 26-BEARDSTOWN 28 Thirteen may be an unlucky number for some people but the number TIVO again proved our undoing. This time the team travelled to Beardstown to meet their doom. Playing hrst class ball from the start, the boys had the little end of the 12-ll score at the half time, but knotted the count at 18 all at the third quarter. VVith the game just about won, Adkins, Beardstown, slipped in a goal to tie things at 26. In the overtime period, VVard, Beardstownls high point man, sunk a long field goal to take the game at 28 to 26. Stanton, with three held goals and a free throw, led the Red and Black scoring. SPRINGFIELD 18-JACKSONVILLE 13 The old Hfirst half jinx was still hanging around this time but the boys didn't let that bother them and Jacksonville was forced to suffer. The first half ended with Jack- sonville leading 10-6. The team came back strong in the second half to win 18-13. llllllllllIIIII1IIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllIIIIllllllllIIIIIlllIIIIIIIIIllIIIlllllIIIIIlllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllll 19 2 7 llllllIIllIIllllllIIlllllllllllIlllllIllllllIIII!IIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIllIIIIllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllll Sixty-Three I ,,,,,,,,, , ,,,,, , ,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,, , , ,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,., . ,..,.,...,..., . .1...,,...-,.......

H. S. Decatur had things pretty much their own way most of the time, Springfield making only four field goals to their nine. The first half ended with the score 10 to 7. The stellar guarding of the Decatur team kept the locals from staging one of their now famous last half rallies while the Red and White team continued to add on to their score. Miller starred for the Red and Black, his close guarding stopping many Decatur drives in the middle of the floor. SPRINGFIELD 16-ATHENS 20 The jinx which Athens has held over Springfield was out in full force again and, though they came as near winning as any S. H. S. team has in the last few years, the Red and Black was forced to bow in defeat. Pulling a wonderful defense, together with a smooth Working offense, the locals were able to lead by an S to 5 score at half time. In the third quarter, Athens started going and came up to 9, while holding our boys scoreless. The last quarter found them in their best form, completely outclassing the Springfield crew with the result that the task of successfully beating Porter's loop hounds was left until another time. They were just too good for us-we never alibi over an Athens game. SPRINGFIELD 6-PEKIN 12 In one of the slowest games that has ever been played on the High School floor, Pekin defeated Springfield by a 12 to 6 score. Pekin opened up by scoring 7 points in the first quarter, and from then on they stalled. Burtle scored one field goal in the first half, Munn scored one at the final gun, and the rest of the local points were scored on free throws. It was a good demonstration of slow motion basketball and not very good ball at that. As one newswriter said, The band played pretty good music, but other- wise it was a dull affair. h SPRINGFIELD 101-LINCOLN 24 February graduation took Miller from the lineup so Huseth was faced with the task of finding a man to put in his place. Accordingly he rather juggled the lineup on the night of the Lincoln game and no phenomenal results Were to be expected. Further- more, these results were not forthcoming, for Lincoln succeeded in beating us by four- teen points. Lincoln held the advantage at the half with a 10 to 2 score. During the third quarter, our team picked up and made the 2 a 9, all the while holding their op- ponents scoreless. But the pace began to tell and Lincoln soon had things under control so that they were in a position to stall the last five minutes. SPRINGFIELD 16-JACKSONVILLE .14 The four game losing streak was broken by the winning of one of the most spec- tacular games of the season, at Jacksonville. numlllllllllIIIIHHIUl ' '' ' ' llHlIHlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIHIIIII 2 7 mluuumumnnIuununnnmnnummummmnnmmmmumm1nnIIIlmnnmmmlmmmmmlm Sixty-F our ,, ' ' ' ' '' The Capitoline ' ' ' ' ' IINIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIII im-. Bansbach Hunter Chenoski Munn Miller SPRINGFIELD 14-ATHENS Z3 Once upon a time Springneld did beat Athensg but that was a long time ago and that was probably long before the tribes of Winterbaur, Wasilewski, McLavish, Zalenas, or Perkins ever came over from the old country. This game was just like any other Athens7S. H. S. game. Our team tried hard the first half and then was so tired by the time the second half started that they couldn't stop the Athens team, who were just warming up. Then the local team got mad, had a lot of fouls called on them, and before they woke up the game was over and Athens had beaten them again, The final score, thanks to Kryswacki, Hashy Athens forward, was 23 to 14. SPRINGFIELD 18-DECATUR 23 With the Athens game off their minds, the team was ready to settle back to the task of bringing up their Conference standing. But Decatur thought otherwise so they handed us another beating, this time on our own Hoor. The boys started right off with a bang and swept the Uancient foe off their feet. At the half, they were leading 11 to 8, and the fans were beginning to get hoarse. Coach Crooks set his team back on their feet, however, and they came into the last half ready to win or bust. They won. Holding Springfield scoreless, they ran up 17 points before Freddy Stanton could get through and put in another goal for S. H. S. He added two more to make things interesting, but that's about all they accomplished. While we lost, there's always this bright thought to cheer us up-we get to play them again next year. SPRINGFIELD 17-CHAMPAIGN 31 The strain of a game with Athens and a game with Decatur coming the same week as the Champaign game proved too much for the team and they lost a one-sided affair to the powerful Champaign five. R. Carson, of Champaign, was the hit of the evening, scoring seven baskets and one free throw. Burtle led the locals with two baskets and three free throws. It was really too big an undertaking to expect the boys to play their best when they had already had two games that same week. SPRINGFIELD 15-PEORIA MANUAL 17 The last scheduled game of the season was a rough and tumble affair with Peoria Manual. Neither team had any great success during the season and were out to get this victory. Both teams experienced difficulty in finding the basket, although many tries were made. The last quarter was fast but neither team seemed to be able to get free enough to shoot and most of the shots went wild. Kroeple, of Peoria, broke the tie with an easy under-the-basket shot towards the end of the game, thus defeating S. H. S. in the last game of a rather unsuccessful basketball season.

This year proved its popularity, although actually the results produced were not such as to claim a record vear. The team was coached by Mr. Royal and, although handicapped for ma- terial, he turned out a team that was worthy of the Red and Black spirit of do or diey'--for they did their best, even though they ran up against what was probably the stiffest competition that any track team of S. H. S. has ever met. Their record may seem to indicate otherwise, but the old fighting spirit was there just the same, and welre proud of their achievements during the past season. The first meet entered was a triangular affair with Quincy and Decatur. The team placed second, Quincy winning, and showed up exceptionally well in the track events, particularly the dashes and the middle distances. The following Saturday, they entered the Milliken Relays, and failed to place in any of the events except the dashes. Then followed the Big Twelve Conference Meet at Decatur. with the team ranking sixth, but winning the relay, thereby gaining a trophy for their efforts. The District Meet at jacksonville on the followng Saturday, left only Bansbach to enter the State Interscholastic Meet at Urbana. Although he was the fastest man on the team this season, he failed to place, and consequently we were forced to be classed as 'falso rans at the State. Between, the halves of the Springfield-Decatur football game, at Reser- voir Park on Thanksgiving Day, the annual Big Twelve Cross Country Run was held. Mattoon's fast team completely out-classed its rivals, although Butler made a great start for the Red and Black. The second lap proved our VVaterloo, however,-our first man to finish running tenth in the field. Tn all, the' season was not one which could be. called a winning season, but the boys did their level best, so what more could we ask? llllllll Illllllll lllll Illllllll 2 7 llllllllllll llllllllll l llllllllllllllllllll llllllll lllllllllllllllll Sixty-Six lllllllllllllllllll Illllllll I I I ll .gg , , 2 A i V. .V . , Q.. ,lqb ' ' ' Y 1 .,,.. wwf :E+ Q ia-.wi fo . e s Q, -Itr -v I 2 , 5 f i 7. .

Tomlinson had graduated, leaving a gap in the field events, whereas Moody's track prowess was also missing in lieu of his having graduated. In Bansbach, however, Royal had one of the fastest dash men ever turned out in Springfield High School. He succeeded in winning three lirsts in the 50-yard dash, and climaxed his achievement by lowering the Big TWelveIConference record for that distance by one second, setting, with' Lane of Danville, a record of five and six-tenths seconds for the fifty yard dash. He was the high point man of the team for this season. Burtle, his running mate in the dashes, was not in such good form as he was the season previous and did not repeat his series of victories of last year. Lawrence, VViley, Stoutameyer, and Lawton were the middle and long dis- tance runners of the team, although M. Butler and McLeoud did very credit- able work along this line. Taggart was likewise one of the track mainstays. In the Held events, McGuire did well in the high jump, and Burtle pre- sented a good record in the broad jump. Massaro shone in the weight events, particularly in the shot put and Ayer' likewise did his share. In all it was as well balanced a track team as S. H. S. has ever produced.

' T The Capitolinei BASEBALL SEASON Coach Roellig has always had more or less good luck with his baseball teams in the past, and this yearls team was expressive of the Hmoreu success- ful seasons. Losing all but two of last yearls team by graduation, he never- theless built up a winning aggregation whose record compared favorably with the Springfield Senators at the best of their form. The season was by far the most successful of any of the branches of athletics offered in Springfield High School and speaks very highly for the efficient coaching and training given the teams under Coach Roe1lig's watchful care. The main handicap of the teams' has been the lack of playing Held, the campus in front of Central High School, the athletic f1eld,f and the diamonds at Lincoln Park being used for practice. Considering this handicap, the record made by the team is exceptionally good. The scores of the season so far were :- Springlield O .............. .... P eoria 9 Springfield 6 .... ....

Selinger and Hunter, the pitching staff, were exceptionally good, Selinger achieving the enviable record of striking out twelve men in one game. Both of the pitchers had control and plenty of speed, and this, coupled with the consistently good support that they received made a winning season inevitable. Stanton and Russas were the mainstays of the outlield, with Shibely, a Freshmanh playing a good, game for his experience. Yazell, Goldsmith, Vlfykofka, and Munn formed an almost impregnable infield, while Turner did a good job as catcher. Tomlinson and Keys, utility players, were con- sistently good, and added much to the success of the season., In all, we were represented by as well balanced a team as Springfield High School has ever put on the Held and one in which we ought to be very proud. Its success speaks very highly for Roellig's coaching ability. Illllllllll 1 9 2 7 lllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllll Sixty-Nzne EThe CapitolineE Ennis Gingold Charleton Coats Wilson GOLF TEAM Although one of the, minor sorts, golf nevertheless attracts many stud- ents and is increasing in its popularity. Its popularity is provenxby the in- creasing numbers who try out for positions on the team. Due to the lack of a coach. the team is selected upon the basis of actual scores and the members train themselves by constant practice, with no outside instruction other than from professional golfers. This year's team found Stewart VVilson and Harold Ennis, two Seniors, Ashley Coats and Paul Gingold, two Juniors, and Robert Charleton, a Sopho- more, as the best of the school's golfers. They entered the Big Twelve Con- ference Meet and the State Interscholastic Meet, but met with but little suc- cess in either of the meets. Their lack of coaching, rather than inexperience, was a vital factor in their defeat. Gingold, Coats, and Charleton are all players of exceptional prowess and will form a strong nucleus for next year's team. Ennis and VVilson, the two Seniors, were likewise very good players, and played good golf throughout. llllll I II Illllvll lllll llllillllllllll l Illlllllllll IIIII llll 19 2 7 IIIIIIIIIIIII ll I I I IIIII ll HIIIIIHIIIIIIIH Illll lllllll I I I I I I Sefvenly The Capitolineiv C Fitzgerald Mulford Crook Thomas Tobin A TENNIS TEAM In past years, the Springfield High School has always been well repre- sented in tennis. This year, while not as successful as some, was far from being unsuccessful. As with golf, the tennis team had no coach, so that the players were forced to rely upon their own judgment and skill in practice. Robert Crook, perhaps the best tennis player in S. H. S., returned from last yearis team of which he was one of the outstanding players. Robert Fitzgerald, his partner in the doubles, was another good tennis player who brought credit to the school Francis Schuster, Robert Thomas, and Sam Mulford, three Freshmen, and Willarcl Tobin, a Senior, comprised the re- mainder of the team. In the Big Twelve Meet, the team lost out in the singles, but the Crook- Fitzgerald combination in the doubles came through to win the finals and the championship of the Conference for the second consecutive year for Spring- field High School. The same doubles team showed up very well in the State Interscholastic Meet, winning their -way into third place. With Tobin the only one to graduate, the prospects forl an equally suc- cessful tennis team next year are very encouraging. llll I l I Illlllllllll I llllllllll Il III I IIIIIII Illl 1 9 2 'Z IIIIIIIII lllllll Il lllllllllll IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Illll IIIIIIIII lllllll IIIII Illllll Se-venty-One ' The Capitoline ' BIG TWELVE The Central Illinois High School Athletic Association, com- posed of twelve of the largest high schools in Central Illinois, was organized three years ago. Since then, a regular schedule of activi- ties has been maintained, culminating, each spring, in an Annual Spring Meet, where contests in oratory, music, commercial, and track events are held. Three such meets have been held, two in Springfield and one in Decatur. In athletics, Springfield did not fare so well in the conference. But this lack of success was mainly due to inexperience, and not to any lack of material. The baseball team, however, placed well up in the conference team standings and the tennis doubles team an- nexed first place for the second consecutive year. The Music Department, however, enjoyed unusual success, win- ning Sweepstakes honors for the third consecutive year. This is quite an achievement and speaks well for the activities along this line in Springfield High School. The entrants won first place in the Soprano Solo, Baritone Solo, Tenor Solo, Boys' Glee Club, Mixed Chorus, Orchestra, and Band, to score fifty-five points. In the commercial department, S. H. S. has always stood well up and this year the typing team won first place and the privilege of entering the finals of the State Interscholastic Meet. Stewart Wilson's winning of second place in the Extempor- aneous Speaking Contest was our only winner in oratory.

Along with this move- ment, and working to the same end, came the formation of the new Departmental Clubs which meet in school time. This gave every student an opportunity to engage in some form of extra-curricular activity without taking any time from their outside work. These clubs met every other Tuesday afternoon during the Sixth Period and were under the supervision of the instructors of the subjects in which they were directly interested. The programs were planned with a purpose of creating and maintaining an active interest in the various lines of pursuit offered by the clubs. The wide variety offered gave the students an opportunity to engage in the work that they cared for most and thus gave each his field of action. But not alone in these new organizations was advantageous good worked for the school and its interests. The old, well estab- lished Literary Societies did more than their share to keep Spring- field High School before the eyes of the public. Perhaps their greatest achievement was the starting of a fund to refurnish the Housekeeping Suite, the scene of many of their social functions. The Thalian Literary Society gave to the school an electrically lighted bulletin board which has been used to the advantage of the entire school. The Les Bas Bleus gave to the extent of one hundred dollars for the Housekeeping Suite Fund, while the Philo- machian Literary Society took a very active part in this work, the proceeds of their two dances going towards this fund. The Philos likewise won the Inter-Society Debate cup, offered by the Parent- Teachers Association. The Wrangler Debating Society held, in the spring, one of the best Open House Night programs that has ever been presented in the school. Their friendly rivals, the Delphic Literary Society, enjoyed a similarly successful year, placing their members in all of the more important activities of the school. In' fact, the fact that a student is in one of these societies is a certain indication that he or she is actively engaged in the activities of the school. All of the leaders of the school, either in scholastics or in extra curricular activities, are members of some one of these societies. The training that they receive and the friendships that they make serve to make them leaders and give them a stronger ability to do things for themselves. 1 9 2 7 -.-i Seventy F we H ' ' ' A ' The Capitoline ' ' ' ' DELPHIC LITERARY SOCIETY First Semester Hugh Graham ....

The Springfield 'High School has fole- lowed suit only to the extent of wearers of the varsity letter in major sports only. These sports include football, basketball, base- ball, and track. Thus these students are given a recognition similar to the recognition given for the maintenance of a high scholastic average, as is given in membership in the Springfield Scholarship Society. The membership is open to any person who shall have won his varsity letter in a major sport and is automatic in its functioningg i. e., the winning of such a letter entitles the winner to membership in the society whether official recognition of the fact is made or not The society held many meetings this year and settled many prob- lems which faced the organization. The chief problem concerned with the S Club was that of allowing girls to wear varsity letters which they have not actually won. The ruling made in this matter was the same that has prevailed in past years, that no girl shall be entitled to wear the regular varsity letter of any boy unless she is engaged to the person to whom the letter belongs. The club was also instrumental in the securing of the new type of chenile letters to replace the flimsy felt letters that had been given in past years. This type of letter is being used in most of the larger schools in the country and is a decided improvement over the Himsy letters that have been used, being of better quality of material that will hold its shape longer than the old type of award. llllllIIIIllllIIllllullllllllllllllllllllll Illlll Illlll Illl IIII IIII I IIIIIIIIIIIIIII Illllllllll 19 2 7 llllllllllllIllllllllllllllll llllllllllll IIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIlIIIllIIIllIIllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllll IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII N znety-F our ' ' ' 'l The Capitoline ' THE GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Girls' Athletic Association was organized last fall with the in- tention of giving girls the oppor- tunity of winning a varsity letter in athletics. To win this letter, the girl must win certain points on the basis of her ability to perform in many branches of athletic development, such as horseback riding, ballet and folk dancing, basketball, hockey, swimming, and numerous other sports. The winning of a certain number of these points entitled the winner to a regular varsity Sf such as is given to the boys for varsity participation in sports. Betty Dallman was the first girl to win the coveted reward and was I closely followed by Mary Jane Sei- fert. The two girls completed their work in the last part of May, show- ing that the letter is no easy thing to win. Every girl who is working for points for an athletic letter auto- matically becomes a member of the Girls' Athletic Association. At present, the association has a large membership and more girls are join- ing it daily. Betty Dallman At the close of the school year, the association became affiliated with a state association of the same character, so that the girls were given the opportunity to win points in this organization also. This gives the girls a much broader chance to develop their athletic prowess and at the same time that they are receiving the benefits of their exercise, they may be winning a suitable reward. In this, Sprnigfield High School is following the example of many of the other high schools in the Central States, and should be commended for their Fine work along this direction.

Illllllllll IIIIIIHHIII Illllllllllllllll lllllllll lll MAY FESTIVAL Mary Sedlak was crowned queen at the most beautiful May Festival ever given by Springfield High School. Nancy Coleman, maid of honor, and Betty Mc- Kown, Gertrude O'Brien, Elsie Causey. Mabel Taylor, Della Dickerson, and Marilla McCoy were the attendants. Miss Lomelino, Miss Mather, and Miss Lasch combined their efforts in making the oc- casion one of real spendor and charm. The most effective of all the lovely events on the program was the crowning of the queen. A hush fell on the large audience as she knelt and her maid placed the wreath of white flowers on her head. The program arranged for the queen, her attendants, and the large audience gath- ered at the arsenal, was well conceived and well carried out. A number of the dances were originated by Miss Lorne- , , lino, who was in char e of the festival. M1ss Lomelmo ' g Particularly well worth mentioning were 'fAnn and Andyfl danced by Marian Shumate and Margaret Ellen jayneg the Doll's Wledding, Kathryn VVilms and Mary Edith Cableg and the indi- vidual dancing done by Dorothy Franz, Mercedes Meuller, Mary Callahan, and Jeanette Conn. ll I Il ll IIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Illllilll I I Il I IIIIIIIIHU 19 2 7 llllllllllll I lllllll llllllllll I llll I IIIIIIlIIlII llllll I Illllllllll Ninety-Six P Mary Sedlak - May Queen Maid of Honor v.......... ...........A..................-- - - .......................... - .................

Each semes- ter finds the societies giving one dance each, and it is through this method that every one in school is given an opportunity to get acquainted with his fellow students in a way that he would otherwise not be able. In this, the societies work an inestimable amount of good for the school. The Thalians held one of the most successful dances of the year when they held a Masked Ball at Hallowe'en. The affair was held in the Gym and the crowd well filled the place. The Wranglers likewise held a fine dance last fall, as all who attended will testify. In the second semester, the Les Bas and Delphics share the honors for the best dance, although the Philos ran them a very close second. The Les Bas dance was held in the Housekeeping Suite which was decorated to represent the inside of a jail. The Delphics used the Girls Gym for their dance, decorating it in brilliant streamers with a hanging center light of mod- ernistic art. Another dance that deserves recognition was the dance given by the music department in honor of the hundreds of students who were in the city for the North Central Music Supervisore Conference. The Gym was used to accommodate the crowd and as an added attraction a part of the opera 'fSweethearts', was given. In all, it was a very delightful evening's entertainment and one which showed that we were interested in knowing who our guests were. Of course there were the customary matinee dances, the Philo Phrolic being perhaps the most delightful. It was held in February and Valentine decorations made the gymnasium a most attractive place to dance in. As many have expressed it, this year was more than a social success and speaks well for the societies that were responsible for the affairs.

'JT Lachmom 19 2 7 0 11 d Capitoline MUSIC INSTRUCTORS Springfield High School is very fortunate in having such. a well prepared, capable staff of music instructors. No other school of this size can boast of a similar staff of such high quality and a staff that has produced such amazing results in the comparatively short time that they have been with us. Mr. Patrick is the oldest member in point of service, he having come to S. H. S. four years ago. In the time that he has been here, he has built up a band that has been a credit to the school as well as to his ability. The band has had a record that compares favolrably with bands that are much older in point of organization, and in every contest that it has entered it has placed well up in rank. This record of the band is really a tribute to its capable, well liked leader, Mr. Patrick. Miss Soulman came to S. H. S. one year ago last February, and in her brief career she has done for the orchestra what Mr. Patrick has done for the band. She has succeeded in building up an organization that is a tribute to her loyal, untiring efforts and sacrificing willingness to devote her entire time and attention to the affairs of the orchestra. Her ability as a musician is unquestionable, she being a, violin player of no little talent and a member of the Springfield Civic Orchestra. Mr. Bickel likewise came to S. H. S. a year ago last February, and since then has really done as much for the glee clubs as Mr. Pat- rick and Miss Soulman have done for the band and orchestra. Himself a singer of local repute, he is capably fitted for his task, and his pleasing disposition and sincere devo- tion to his work have made him popular with the students with whom he works. Besides building up the glee clubs to the extent that he has, he directed and presented the two clubs in the two very charming operettas, Pickels and Sweethearts Miss Moore has had as her duty the train- ing of the Freshman choruses, and thus has contributed a large share towards the success of the glee clubs. Every year she presents her students in a cantata which compares favorably with the work done by the older and better trained students of the glee clubs. In this work her sunny disposition and thor- ough training have worked to her advantage. Miss Richey, the newcomer on the staff, is largely connected with the direction of the Sophomore choruses. In this work, she pre- sented her classes in a Christmas program which included the singing of the carols and the presentation of a cantata, both of which were performances that were very compli- mentary to her efficient work with the Sophomores. llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIlllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllll19 2 7 llllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIllllilllllllllIIIllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII One Hundred Tfwo ' - ' ' The Capitoline U MUSIC ACTIVITIES Although the school year of 1926-1927 was far from being a success from an Athletic standpoint, it was by far one of the most successful years that the Music Department has ever had. This success was not confined to any one branch, by any means, but was reflected in the stellar work of all of the Musical Organizations in the school. This, we feel, is a great tribute to the efficient training of the students due in a large measure to the high quality of the instructors. The band enjoyed a very successful year, giving their annual concert and playing for many of the civic movements and entertainments. They sup- ported the athletic teams in the usual manner, playing for all of the home games of the football and basketball season and at many of the athletic assem- blies. The orchestra enjoyed a similarly successful year, giving their first an- ual concert ad a concert for the North Central Music Supervisors Confer- ence, one of the most important musical organizations in the Middle West. They likewise performed at all of the dramatic presentations and furnished a special orchestra that played the score for the operetta Sweethearts The Boys' Glee Club showed marked improvement over past years and was honored by being given the privilege of presenting a program before the Amateur Musical Club, a notable musical organization in Central Illinois. The Girls' Glee Club aided the Orchestra in their concert and at all times showed a polished technique and quality that reflected credit on their di- rectress, Miss Soulman. The two glee clubs worked together to present the delightful opera Sweethearts, by Victor Herbert. This presentation quite eclipsed the offering of the year previous, Pickles.,' In fact, the production compared quite favorably with many pro- fessional performances and the show was given before packed houses all of the three times it was put on. An interesting fact in connection with the operetta is that the Decatur Glee Clubs likewise chose it for their public offering this year. At Christmas, the Sophomores repeated their custom of presenting a pro- gram of Christmas Carols and a suitable Cantata. This year, they had the assistance of a special orchestra and several of the members of the Glee Clubs. The combination was very effective and pleasing, promising much in this field in another year. t V The Freshman Chorus likewise repeated their custom of presenting a cantata. This year they chose to present The Building of the Ship, a musical arrangement of Longfellow's immortal poem. Although the voices are in the younger stages of development, the rendition was very creditable and showed much promise of talent that will develop. The climax of the year, however, came in the winning of the Sweep- stakes at the Central Illinois High School Athletic Association Annual Spring Meet, held this year at Decatur. Entering most of the solo events and all of the group events, Springneld won first place in the Soprano Solo, the Tenor Solo, Baritone Solo, Boys' Glee Club, Girls! Glee Club, Orchestra, and Band, to score fifty-live points against the twenty-four points that Urbana, who placed second, scored. This record is unequalled in the history of the Conference and is a record that Springfield High School should be and is proud to claim. It speaks ex- ceptionally well for the training that the students receive from their instruc- tors as well as for their own individual talent.

The plot of this opera is, in short, as follows: Sylvia, princess of Zilania, has been taken when a baby and hidden in the garden of the town's washerwoman, who brings her up as her adopted daughter with the same care as her six real daughters are reared. Mikel, the kidnapper, is a great politician, who wants to undo the heir apparent. However, the prince is so kind to the unknown Sylvia that when the time comes for her to take the throne, she marries the prince, and everything turns out well in spite of the statesman, a usurper to the throne and Sylvia's former sweetheart. This was by far the best performance that the two clubs have ever put on jointly. It had a distinctly professional touch in both the chorus and the solos. Talent was displayed which had hitherto remained in obscurity. The production was given three times to highly entertained and appreciative audiences. Since the cast had the assistance of Helen Janet Smith and a great many others and were ably directed by Mr. Bickel, they worked hard and were able to give a stellar entertain- ment in a comparatively short time.

The first part of this program consists of the singing of Christmas Carols, the second part the presentation of a suitable cantata. The enthe performance'wasveryiwvell donefretlecting credit upon the youthful singers, as well as their capable instructor, Miss Richey. Another tradition pertaining to the Sophomore Chorus is that concerned with Recognition Assembly. It is always the custom thatgthey shall sing Integer Vitae as a processional for the grad- uating seniors, on this occasion, and close with a suitable reces- sional hymn. The eifect is very pleasing and lends dignity to the occasion. The Freshman Chorus likewise presented their cantata, The Building of the Ship, a musical adaptation of Longfellowls poem of the same name. This production was likewise well finished, and very creditable to the chorus and its instructor, Miss Moore. Both of these choruses are very unique, there being few schools of this size so well represented by the under class students in musi- cal activity. The training that they receive here is very valuable to them as they go into the glee clubs or the other musical organiza- tions of the school.

The first semester class presented Shakespeare's '4The Tempest, November 24th, at matinee and evening performances. june XVhitson, Freeman Butts, and XVilliam XVines starred in the respective roles of Miranda, Ferdinand, and Caliban. In December, the Christ- mas pageant was given at school, at a meeting of the A. A. U. XV., and at the State Arsenal. Marguerite jenkins and Dorothy Fiedler, alternating in the role of the Virgin Mary, showed an excep- tional amount of talent. The second semester class concentrated its combined talent in The Goose Hangs Highf, a play that demands the best from even pro- fessional actors. The parts were very l well played and the honors were about ' evenly distributed. John Schenk, as the MISS ROURKE hard working father, and Gertrude O'Brien, as the self-sacrihcing mother, were very good. This class in dramatics is unique among High Schools and covers a complete, though somewhat condensed, one-semester course. Stage-design- ing, play reading, make-up, voice training, play writing, and play production are included in the semester,s work. Miss Rourke has proved an inspiring and competent teacher and director, and much of the year's success has been due to her ability to draw the best work from her casts. ll I llIlllllllllllflnllllllllllIIIllllIIIIlllIIIIlllIllllllllllllllllllllll Illllllllll 2 7 llllllllllll Ill Illlllll I IllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIII llll Ill Ill Illllllllll One Hundred Fourteen '' ' ' ' The Capitoline T ' ' ' ' THE TEMPEST The second Shakespearian play of the drama class, The Tempestf' was presented in two performances on November 24th. This drama is considered Shakespeare's master comedy. A brief summary of the plot follows: Prospero, rightful Duke of Milan, with his infant daughter, Miranda, had been over- thrown in their kingdom by Prosperols villainous brother, Antonio, and had taken refuge on an uninhabited island where, twelve years later, Antonio, with the king and Crown Prince of Naples, is wrecked. Prospero had gained control of the spirits of the island, and they, led by Ariel, work out their master's plans. Through many queer adventures the castaways wander until the prince becomes engaged to Miranda and Antonio begs forgiveness, thus re-establishing Prospero in his old estate as Duke of Milan. The play contained a lovely masque in addition to the plot, which was enlivened by many charming dances. Due to the co-operation of the newly organized Poster Club, Paper Craft Club, Stage Craft Club, and Costume Design Club, with the two art directors, Miss Knudson and Miss Mason, a beautiful set of scenery and stage properties was made- The principal characters were acted by the following: Prospero, rightful Duke of Milan ..... Miranda, daughter of Prospero ----.--. Caliban, a savage and deformed slave. Alonso, King of Naples ........,...... Sebastion, his brother ................ Antonio, the false brother of Prospero ....

It was a series of scenes representing the events leading up to and culminating in the birth of Christ. The scenes were: the procession of the prophets an- nouncing the coming of the Messiah, the annunciation, the journey to Beth- lehem, the seeing of the star, the coming of the three Wise men, the vision of the shepherds, and finally the beautiful finale of the Nativity scene in which the entire cast of over fifty people partook. The majestic loveliness of this production and the superior direction and acting give promise of many exquisite Christmas pageants yet to come.

A brief synopsis of the story follows: Two parents have always denied themselves everything in order that their children might have what they wanted. The children seem to accept their self-sacrifice as a matter of course, until the father loses his position and becomes bankrupt. .Then the children in their turn give up all that is dear to them and help their parents with the gaiety and ability to adapt them- selves to circumstances that is characteristic of the younger generation. The character work of this production was very well done and was quite genuine. The cast entered earnestly into the spirit of this modern drama, and with charming results. The setting which accompanied this work was the most pretentious which school drama classes have ever used, since it gave a view of three rooms of the family home in but one setting.

The story deals with a small town family whose only son has attained the age of Seventeen and, conse- quently suffers all the pangs, of love, rivalry, jealousy, baffled desires, righteous indignation, and a little sister. The advent of a visiting girl cause most of the former, and his quest for a dress suit is the reason for the baffled desires. The charm of this play lies in the fact that it is so natural and so universal in its appeal. The characters are completely human and decidedly real. The small town young people, the irritable Mr. Parcher who has no sympathy, and the entirely sympathetic and understanding Mrs. Baxter, the man who 'quotes his own youth as aniexample for all young people, the inimitable Jane, and her martyr brother, VVillie, who is 'lSeventeen',g all these characters combine with others to make a highly entertaining and enjoyable performance.

The success of the debates this year was even more marked than that of last in bringing out new material and developing more active interest on the part of the students. The keen rivalry between the so- cieties caused great stress to be laid upon the debates and as a result enlisted the best talent of the individual societies for places on the teams. This, together with the eflicient coach- ing of Miss Graham, made the most interesting inter-society debates S. H. S. has ever shown. The subject for debate this year was the varsity question, Resolved: That a Department of Education with a Secretary in the President's Cabinet be added to the Executive Depart- ment of the United States. On December second, the six teams were paired off and the debates were held simultane- ously. The Thalians, with Marx, Carson, and Pfleak on the afiirmative, received a close Z to 1 decision from the Delphics, represented by Beam, Dehen, and Benedict. The Philos, with Penrod, Davis, and Ettlebrick on the negative, received a 3 to 0 walkaway from the Hi-Y's, represented by Cain, Lamken, and Kaylor, thus starting the Philos on the road to ultimate suc- cess. The Les Bas, with Robie, Callahan, and Rourke on the negative, won a hard fought 2 to 1 victory from Reid, Allison, and McLean, thereby dashing the high hopes of the Wranglers for the coveted cup. The Hi-Y's and the Wranglers were dropped at this stage. In the semi-finals, the Thalians, again debating the Del- phics, completely crushed them with a 3 to O decision, while the Philos, now debating on the negative, received a close 2 to 1 decision from the Les Bas. This eliminated the Delphics and the Les Bas. In the finals, the Philos won another close decision when they received a two to one vote from the Thalians and thus came in possession of the cup which the Delphics had won the previous year. This also marked the second year that the Thalians had debated their way to the linals only to lose by a 2 to l decision.

The question for the Illinois League was, Resolved: That a Department of Education, with a Secretary in the President's Cabinet, be added to the Executive Department of the United States. The Affirmative team, com- posed of VVilson, Butts, and Meteer. went to Jacksonville to win a close 2 to 1 decision. The Negative. made up of Fleischli, Ettlebrick and Benedict, stayed at home to win a 3 to 0 decision. A threat of measles forced Graham to yield his position as third speaker on his team to Benedict. Lack of an entry from Peoria forced Jacksonville to forfeit rather than debate us again. Thus this gave us the decisions of only eleven judges whereas Carthage had twelve, so that we were eliminated from the Illinois Debating League. In the Big Twelve, the question for debate was, Resolved: That the Phil- lippine Islands should be granted their Independence within the next five years. The Affirmative team. composed of Rourke, Beam, and Hatmaker, received a 3 to 2 decision from Jacksonville while the Negative, made up of Briggle, Schwaner, and Benedict, were defeated here by a 2 to 3 decision. Since our total percentage was higher than jacksonville's-89 to 88-we were judged the winners. In the semi-finals with Pekin, the Illinois Debating League team was used, so that VVilson, Butts, and Meteer, on the Affirmative, and Graham, Fleischli, and Benedict, on the Negative, represented us. The Negative won a 3 to 2 decision but this was counterbalanced by our Affirmative, losing a 2-3 decision. The total percentages of the debate-85 to 87-eliminated us from the Big Twelve Conference also.

Davis, assistant principal of Springheld High School, goes the credit for the formulation of a system of debate which bids fair to reorganize the present system which ex- perience has proven pretty much of a failure. This would do away with long, cut and dried scpeechesand Wil1,tCI1dff0 deVC10P the de- bater's own initiative and originality. Under the present system, the debaters are the machine of their coaches. They spend weeks in compiling data on subjects which they are unfamiliar with and with which they are scarcely able tb cope. Their speeches are in a large way the work of their coaches and not of themselves. Under the system proposed, the judges will give the teams their material two hours before the debate and they will be left without the assistance of their coaches to work up their argument. This way, they are left to their own originality and initiative in developing their cases. If adopted, this system will do away with long drawn out, un- interesting speeches and make the work, in a way, much easier on the coaches. They will have more time for themselves and to de- velop the speaking ability and originality of their proteges, where- as heretofore they have had to spend a major portion of their time in the preparation of suitable speeches.

Every type of prose is tried save the novel, which time, not the lack of ambi- tion or ability, of course, proscribes. Con- trary to the current opinion, verse is Writ- ten with greater success than is proseg in fact, both boys and girls of the roman- tic teens burst rather naturally into song. This class is by necessity limited in numbers because the individual develop- ment requires a small class, and unfor- tunately not all of the 2300 students in the school can express artistically their material needs, much less their soul yearnings. The class aims to edit a literary maga- MISS GRAHAM zine and they try to encourage all stu- dents to contribute to this publication. Some very creditable pieces have been written, copied in regularly edited magazines, and some of the one-act plays Written in this class have been acted by the Springfield Community Players. The Venture Magazine, edited by the 1925 Scribblers Club, contained work from every class in the school. William M. Tanner of the Atlantic Monthly wrote a letter of congratulation to those responsible for editing and publishing the magazine, commenting favorably on its creditable work. The 1927 class again edited a similar magazine, keeping the same name and the same general policy, but introducing a number of new authors to those interested in the literary activities of the Springfield High School. llllllll n lllxl nu nnlllnlxu n nuurl um llnx Ill xlxll II rllil n usllil nr lllll H lllli 1927,m,,m, One Hundred Tfwenty-Eight IM I v 1 r . ,Q 5' mgki ' s' xi i I Q ,gk ya N g X W1 1 if ' JW am s K N !

In all of these seemingly weighty discussions, it seems altogether fitting and proper that some mention be made of the great deeds accomplished this year by our two prominent Young Men's Gypping Associations, the famous Shelf-hicks, and their rivals, the Danglers. Firstly, take the Shelf-hicks, Grafters' Union, Local Number 29. Among their number we find such illustrious rowdies as Will Bines, the translator of Homer's f'Comedy of Terrors-the Idiot and the Odious, and Duke Lambskin, the ladies' man, who actually confessed that he once took a girl to a Hi-Y picnic. Second only to him as a heartbreakerwe find young Giggle, the little lad with the big pants-yes, he's worn a Les Bas pin. Of course we can't overlook the gypper of gyps, old Shylock Bennett Chevens, the lad who didn't even have to pay for his lunch, and the Boy Chemists, Hennis and Blueham, deserve just credit for their great discovery that Hydrogen Sulfide is the synthetic perfume for rotten eggs. The loud speaker of the gang is Stewed Bilson, who claims greater jaw leverage than any man, woman, or child in the Philippine Islands. Then there's Ike Lieman, who earned enough off the Capitoline to settle up for his cap and gown, announcements, and pay the first installment on the sixteen dozen pictures he ordered. Not to be denied is the other heartbreaker, George Stench, the rising young man who claims to have dated more women than he can count. On the other hand, we have the well known Danglers. They are offi- cially the Gypper's Union, Local Number 10, and run the Shelf-hicks a close race for Hrst honors. In fact, any bunch that charges a dollar sixty-five for a dance is entitled to first place. Look at their roster-they're almost as good as the Shelf-hicks. Take Silly Beifert, for example-wasn't he kicked out of a basketball game once- and hasn't he been kicked out of most of the theaters? And Cigar Butts- didn't he share the Capitoline rake-off with a Shelf-hick? Why, the junior Class couldn't function without the aid and assistance of Flies-high for Commissioner. Then there's Bill Met-her, who cleaned up enough on the Senior announcements to pay for his college education. There's no doubt that Coatmaker and Mark Rubbers are the dumbest vaudeville team in school, while Ashcan Hats is positively the best actor going when it comes to the Voice-off-stage parts. You'll have to admit that young Benry Harbor is almost as good a loud speaker as Bilson, and as for jim Alley-cat, he can't be beat when it comes to Inter-Society Lotto. Bob Fits-tight has perfected a system whereby he can play a piano solo without 'putting the instrument out of condition, so hels improving. Collectively, they're just about as nuts. ,They spend their meetings listen- ing to talks on Dumbells, and demanding recounts. Then they get real bold and challenge each other to everything from chess tournaments to mock trials. In fact, the school couldn't run without the Shelf-hicks and the Danglers. You see, the Shelf-hicks give it an atmosphere, and the Danglers give it a rep- utation.

Husband: I took your ad- vice, dear, and did not get you any Christmas present. I AM AN OPTIMIST 1. I believe that it is possible to make the Scholarship Society with- out studying. 2. I believe that Freshmen are not as green as they are reputed to be. 3. I think that fifteen minute as- semblies are ideal. 4. I believe that 354.00 is a good price to pay for the CAPITOLINE. 5. I believe that detention is an ideal pastime. 6. I am convinced that the Del- phics once came out ahead on a dance. Poor little Fido, His tail all aquiver, Would caper about me All the day long.

COLD SUPPER, COLD HEART He came home late for supper. He was a professor of Chemistry and she was a wife who tried to have a good supper for him every night. When he'd be late her good cooking would be spoiled and then he'd start to find fault. He was late again tonight. The supper was cold. The argument was on. The wife finally broke down crying. But, he was a professor of Chemistry. Stop crying! Your tears have no effect up me. What are they? A small percentage of phosphorus salts, a little sodium chloride. All the rest-water.

Four graduates of the class were chosen for membership in the Spring- field Scholarship Society, the highest recognition for scholastic achievement given by the school. Many of them held offices in the school's literary and debating societies and were quite prominent in dramatics. just as many were prominent in athletics and the other activities which they had an oppor- tunity to participate in. Although handicapped in that they did not receive recognition as a class until the beginning of last semester, the class displayed at all times a marked loyalty to the school and was ever ready to support whatever arose in the Way of school activity. In this, they have set an example which the rest of the school might well profit by and the Springfield High School will always cherish the fondest memories of the February class of 1927, both for the loy- alty to the school which they displayed at all times and for the cheerful Way in which they co-operated with the faculty, the administration, and their fel- low students. lllllllllllll 19 2 7 lllllllllll IllllllllllllllIIllIIIlIIIIlIIIllIllIIIIIllIIIlllllllllllllllllllllll One Hundred Farty-Sefuen ' The Capitoline ' ' HILTON ADLOFF Commercial Course, Bookkeeping, English, Biology Club, '26, '27, Inter-Class Football, '26, Inter-Class Track, '23.

These girls were chosen on the basis of their achievements during their first three vears. . The Council has had for its purpose, this year, the promoting of friend- ship among all of the classes, chieHy the Freshmen. Four Freshmen parties were held and the idea proved a success. A Silver Tea, in October, was given for the Faculty and Senior girls. This organization was instrumental in putting on the Clean-Up VVeek. which resulted in a cleaner campus and building than has been seen for a long time. lllllllllll 1 9 2 7 llllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllll One Hundred Fifty-Sefven - .W Tfllhe Capitolinei ' Meteer O'Brien Lochman Lehman SENIOR OFFICERS President ------- Billy Meteer Vice-President - Gertrude O'Brien Secretary - - Cordelia Lochman Treasurer - Howard Lehman Advisor - Mr. E.

Besides tending to the usual routine work connected with the management of a class, they also had to prepare for and carry out the activities incident to Commencement Week. Their meetings were held at regular intervals and during the course of each many problems confronting the class as a whole were decided upon and given careful consideration. , Socially, the Seniors maintained a very high standard throughout the entire year. In all, four parties and an all day picnic were arranged. The first party was an unusual success, with Roche's Orchestra providing the music. Their next party was a Stunt Party, with various members of the class taking part and presenting a good brand of vaudeville. Dancing fol- lowed, to the music of the Delphic Orchestra which had appeared on the regular stunt program. This was followed by another dancing party and the last regular party was held in the Gym, with Roche's Orchestra again fur- nishing the music. The last social event of their Senior year was the all day picnic, followed by a dance, held on the Friday of Commencement NVeek. This event has become customary in the last few years, and bids fair to become one of the traditions of the school. The ordering of announcements and the management of the class play were but two of the many duties that were capably taken care of, not to mention the ordering of the caps and gowns to be worn at Commencement. In connection with Commencement VVeek there are a number of traditions that have come to be of the highest importance, such as the Recognition Assembly. Throughout the year, the class has had for its capable advisor Mr. Har- riman, and he has worked unstintingly to assure the success of the class. In all of his work he has had the support of the entire class.
