Winter came down from the icy lakes with bitter winds and mighty storms of snow, and all the dark months the land lay blanketed with it, deep and white and lonely. Then there were days when a warmer breeze blew from the south. The snow turned to slush in the sun, and on the plains the tough Indian grass thrust upward through the softened earth. Wildflowers sprung up, fragile greenery appeared upon the trees. In the wooded bottomlands a new life was awakened with the rustle and stir of wild things. Summer came. Here on the site of, your city roamed herds of buffalo and deer, here lived the smaller beasts of field and forest-raccoon, mink, otter, wolf, rabbit and squirrel. There were, too, quail, pheasants, wild duck and geese and wild turkey,-targets for twanging bow and feathered arrow. For long before the white man came to the banks of the Sangamon, Indians found it good hunting ground. They belonged to the Algonquin family, and were called by the French, Illinois. The first settler of Springfield was John Kelly of North Carolina, who in 1819 built a log cabin near what is now Second and jefferson Streets. Away from it, says Carl Sandburg in his Abraham Lin- coln, swept the rolling prairie a mile east and west, a half mile north and south, bordered on the north by heavy timber and on the south by growths of pin-oak, elm, cherry, and hackberry, with fringes of plum, crab-apple, and haw trees, besides hazel brush and blackberry bushes, festoons of grapevines and winding strawberry runners. It was a wild country, but a country good for living. 9' f?UC'w' P xv L. 55,59 ,1- 41 5-12' ff Jzff .f T ,,, 76, f ii. 7-A-,Hd -i i- x-x 'hr !W7!!lf'fZl.l ga ,Q -J PH f , 5 li f 5 ii Q. gy' X gg K ix Aff! .ff Au J fx ff !Z!,4 X4 4 ff 315- MM! ff' frgwu A f- .Au- Q X-1 'fn' ix + . 4'7 WW , ,, Q ' W ass, , ' Q ,f ,,v 7 A 423541 l X Ji!

Enos, Elijah Iles, Thomas Cox and John Taylor, and called it Calhoun. Sangamon County had been formed in 1821. The first jail cost 584.755 the first courthouse S72.50. In 1833 the town was resurveyed under an act of the State legislature and was given the name Springfield, At that time and for almost ten years afterward the town was governed by a board of trustees, of which Abraham Lincoln was a member. In 1837 the state capitol was given to Springfield, amid much exultation. There were dif- ficulties, however, in raising the funds for the state house. The town had little wealthg it was small and crude and muddy. Lincoln had a story about the secretary of state, who when asked for the use of the assembly room for a lecture on The second coming of our Lord, gave it as his opinion that if the Lord has been in Springfield once, He will not come the second time. But Springfield's difficulties were overcome, and the state house was built in the center of the square,-a magnificent building, it was thought, ample for the needs of Illinois for all time to come. In 1840 the town was granted a charter for city government, the population then being 2,579. Springfield was growing, and continued to grow. Her citizens had enterprise and industry. Outside capital came with the railroadsg the coal mines were developedg factories were builtg prosperity arrived and stayed. When the magnificent new state house was completed in 1876, it stood in a City of 19,000. f 1 -- y f, f , I I' 'X f- -rw ,f ffX f:fff ., 1, ,f ,ZA '- xx J ' Q f, '44 W!

MCCOY To us at High School it is not of the first importance to know that Dwight W. McCoy took his A.B. degree at the University of Illinois and his A.M. degree at Columbia, and that he served overseas as a second lieutenant of Field artillery in the World War. Our interest and our pride are centered on his record as Principal of Springfield High School. During the Five years of his administration, Mr. McCoy has carried out a program of great benefit to the school. He has encouraged scholarship primarily, knowing, as he does, the imperative need for hard study and a sound academic foundation for future education. To extra-curricular activities he has also given his unfailing sup- port. The band owes its present size and prominence largely to his efforts, and the fine school orchestra is likewise indebted to his love for music and his desire to see it firmly established in the High School. Last year he introduced the system of clubs, closely associated with class-room work, which now hold bi-weekly meetings and play an important part in school life. He was the moving force in the organization of the Central Illinois High School Athletic Association, or Big Twelve, and served as its president for the iirst two years. Mr. McCoy's fine character and genial personality, his keen insight into student problems and his ready sympathy and aid for them, have combined to make him a much beloved and respected prefect over the two and one-half thousand-odd students of Springfield High. He does smile his face into more lines than are in the new map. -..agf 19 lg..- M- Lx Assistant Principal Anyone who has ever had an at once slip from him knows that Mr. Davis possesses all the disciplinary requisites of his ofl-ice. At the same time, his good sense and humor have won him the real regard of the student body, and the everyday machinery of the school depends on him to keep it in smooth working order. They that govern the most make the least noise. MR. WENTZ, B.S. Dean of Boys and Head Coach As Dean of Boys, Mr. Wentz has the work of helping all Junior and Senior boys to pick their subjects and arrange their schedules-a job that calls for a lot of mental adaptability and resource- fulness. Because he has these qualities Mr. Wentz has been of inestimable service to many students Here was a man to hold Against the world. l -. 7g MISS DAVIDSON, A.B. Dean of Girls The picture shows the Dean of Girls at her desk in the attractive Housekeep- ing Suite, whose furnishing she com- pleted this year, and which, under her supervision, has been the scene of many parties and dances. The Suite is only one example of Miss Davidson's very tangible achievements in connection with the social life of the school. Sunlight shines in her ha?r and heart. 5 20 1394- MISS AURELIUS Clerk at Central The regulation of the callow Fresh- men is largely in the hands of Miss Aurelius, who has handled her job with great capability and success.

Other private schools were conducted during the thirty years following, the most prominent being the Academy, but it was not until 1854 that the City Council was authorized to construct public schools. By 1858 four had been established. In 1857 the first high school was opened in a small building on Market Street, now Capitol Ave- nue, just west of Spring Street. The following year it was transferred to the Lincoln School build- ing and forty-two pupils were enrolled. The course at this time included Algebra, Geometry, Natural and Moral Philosophy, Political Economy, Survey- ing, Bookkeeping, Botany, Physiology, Latin and Greek. In 1859 the school moved to the Academy Build- ing on South Fifth Street near Monroe, continuing in this place for six years. The first graduating class, in 1861, consisted of three girls, the second, in 1862, of three boys, two of whom immediately enlisted in the Union Army. In 1865 the much heralded new high school build- ing was completed at Fourth and Madison Streets. The building is pictured on the opposite page. At that time and for years after it was one of the finest school buildings in the state and was regarded with pride by the people of Springfield. The gradu- ating exercises became events of tremendous impor- tance and to graduate from high school was an achievement and an honor. In 1897 the building now known as Central High took the place of the old school, and in 1916 the present New High School was opened. In the seventy years of its existence the High School has increased its enrollment from forty-two to over two thousand, and its annual number of graduates from three to three hundred forty-eight. ,. 1 ,. g.'. ,a .- ,, ,, S S MM JI!!

This recognition makes the honor of having a high scholastic standing just as great as that received in athletics or any other school activity. Membership is open to every graduating student who fulfills the following requirements: The student must have carried his work with a general average of 85'M, for the four years of his High School course. He must average 90M for three years in at least one major subject. No student shall be elected to membership in the Spring- field 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. This year for the first time the list of members for publication in the Capitoline was made at the end of the second term and is to be regarded as tentative. Names may be dropped from this list or added to it when the Semester grades are recorded.

SENIOR CLASS During its four years of high school the Class of 1928 has made an excellent record in scholarship, athletics, debate, dramatics, music and all other school activities. The class has hung together and has given its best efforts unselfishly for the school. It may look back now with a rightful pride in its achievements. The last year has been a busy one for all Seniors, and particularly for the Senior Representatives, who have been faced with the management of the many problems of Commencement Week. These Representatives, Whose number is made up of one boy and one girl from each Session Room, have met frequently with the Class Officers and Advisers to decide on the ordering of announcements, the selection of caps and gowns, the choice of the time, place and speaker of the Baccalaureate Service, the support of the Class Play, and the arrangements for the Recognition Assembly. These duties were performed very creditably. The class has also been quite active socially and has made its last year in high school an enjoyable one. Five or six Senior Parties have been held, the last and most pretentious of which was the all-day picnic on the last day of school, followed by a dance in the evening. The class has been fortunate in having as Advisers Mr. McCoy and Mr. Davis, who have given much of their time and attention to its welfare. -sg 42 Qs..- , Top Rolf: Nadina Boa1'd111an, Virginia Burr, Florence Roberts, Eloise Whitnz-y, Dorf-tliy Ilvivkv, Nez-mul Row: BlBl'g2ll'!'l' Ellen Jayiie.

It was organized in the spring of 1926 by Miss Davidson, Dean of Girls, for the purpose of recognizing scholarship and leadership in girls and to have a group capable of advising the Dean on all student matters. The Pilot, Whose sale Was sponsored by the Council last year, was a noteworthy addition to the schoo1,s publications. The members have assisted in the selection of Big Sisters and have given a party for the Freshmen girls at the beginning of each semester. At the Peoria Central football game balloons were sold, the proceeds to go to bring a good speaker before the girls. The Council dance, the Basket Ball, was very successful. One of the outstanding things done by the Council this year was the awarding of S15 in prizes to the Freshmen who stood highest scholastically at the end of the year in the three courses of study. -- -iii Ben-- 1 1 Adams Aldrich Allen OPAL ADAMS Swastika Club.

JUNIOR CLASS In the Junior year high school students in general have a habit of blossoming, like the rose, not only sartorially but physically and mentally. This characteristic was not lacking in this year's Junior Class. Under the careful supervision of Mr. Simpson, faculty adviser, there was plenty of room for the energetic Juniors to kick up their heels and have their fun, and they did so to such good advantage that the Prom is considered to have been one of the biggest and best managed affairs of its kind in the history of Junior classes. Another evidence of their exuberance was the racy Woodpecker, which appeared three times during the Winter to the joy of the student body, Which had been too long without such stimulation, and then fell fluttering after one last, despairing peck. Its publishers, how- ever, quickly dried their tears and plunged into new worlds of endeavor. The Class has had distinguished members on the athletic teams and the debate teams, and several very important members of the Capitoline second team, or assistants. There isn't any doubt that next year will be a year of triumph for them, because they are all enthusiastic and they are all good students, or most of them are, and they're all proud of their Class. 4' 73 Class of 1929 w ,f - f . -' 7 ff TGI ss Nm P fi?

SOPHOMORE CLASS The Sophomores this year have made a remarkable showing as a class, and as individuals they have given ample evidence of scholarship and leadership. Aided by the efforts of their advisers, Miss Bouldin and Mr. Roellig, they seem to have caught that elusive quality of class conscious- ness that makes such a difference in school life. At the Hrst representa- tives, meeting two senators were chosen, Robert Thomas by the repre- sentatives and Margaret Wilson by the faculty advisers. Two candy sales were successful in filling the treasury, and as a result the Sophs spread themselves in a series of parties given after school in the Housekeeping Suite. On the evening of May 19 the evening party was given, With danc- ing, games and refreshments. At two assemblies the class displayed its musicians and entertainers in Sophomore programs. In scholarship, the Sophomore who led the school on several occasions was Charles Bane, seconded by Margaret Wilson. The Sophomores also distinguished them- selves athletically, particularly in basketball. M7777 Y ,V YV W WW YYYWYYNWW f 79 lg..- Class of' 1930 432k WWW? Vw W ' mx Rm gf.,-:- , 'W mini .

FRESHMAN CLASS It may be truthfully said of this year's Freshman Class that it has shown remarkable promise in varied fields and that it has also attained some feeling of class loyalty and comradeship. The joys of high school life and the rigors of study are no longer mysterious things to the Fresh- meng they are beginning to make themselves felt as strongly as the other classes in the life of the school. Perhaps S. H. S. has not had for a number of years a first year class that has been so active in athletics. Several members of the Class showed real ability in football and baseball, and the Class basketball team, besides being the only Class organization of its kind, made a good record in games with other school and local outfits. The 92s, when they became 102s in February, organized as a class and elected officers, it being the first time in the history of the school that such a step has been taken so early by a mid-year class. The officers elected Were: President, Wilma Rollmang Vice-President, Fred Crookg Secretary, Harrison Blank- meyer, and Treasurer, Jean Briggle. The Freshman Representatives have, of course, taken a leading part in the activities of the year, and with Mr. Benedict as Class Adviser they have in every way justified their selection. Above, Class of Below, Class of 931, Group On 931, Group Tw l ,, 5 if S8 Jw- Q4 80 E9 v 1 ,Qs , , - Above, Class of Below, Class of Group Th fanuar'yG p Athletics PORTS on the frontier were rough and re- quired little equipment. A man was measured by his proficiency in running and jumping, throwing the maul, and wrestling. When Lincoln came to New Salem and got a job at Offut's store, the Clary's Grove Boys determined to try his met- tle in a match with their leader, Jack Armstrong. Armstrong fouled the lanky clerk, whereupon Lin- coln lost his temper, slammed his opponent Hat on his back, and invited the rest of the gang to do battle. Such exploits as this gave Lincoln a wide and favorable reputation, so that later, in Spring- field, he was often called upon to umpire bouts and games. Horse racing provided amusement and social in- tercourse for whole countrysides. Many of the early inhabitants of Springfield were Kentuckians, and carried with them from the blue-grass country their love for line horses. The first race track was on the square, whence it was later moved a mile south across South Grand Avenueg there was also a quarter mile stretch on Enos Avenue. . . In those days, too, the youngbloods promoted considerable cocklighting. Organized games began to make headway in the middle of the century. There is in the State Histo- rical Library a small home-made leather ball with which Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Zimri A. Enos used to play townball Ca sort of handballl in a vacant lot near Sixth and Washington Streets. According to one story, Lincoln was engaged in this game when informed of his election to the presidency. . . As the town grew, sand lot baseball became increas- ingly popular, and toward the end of the century a Three-I League team was supported. Football was not introduced until 1896, when a team was organized at high school. ' ' N 4 3 1 , Wav lfvlmmi AQ ' If Z 'UI' - Z. Y thy- M? fwmf ' an fr gf ,ff , fx E ij' X K , Wx ,,,, www?

ATHLETIC BOARD OF CONTROL H The Athletic Board of Control consists of five faculty members and ten students, and meets regularly for the solution of the various problems that present themselves throughout the year. The Board has determined the requirements for major and minor letters and has recognized the value of class numerals. Two new rulings of great importance have been decided upon this year: first, to grant reserve letters to seniors only, upon the recommendation of the coach, second, to award a major letter to any par- ticipant or team in a minor sport, i. e., tennis, golf, debate or swimming, who shall Win the state championship in that sport, provided there are eight or more contestants. The value of the first ruling is easily apparent. The second ruling supplies a needed means of recognition for the outstanding athlete in a minor sport, who hitherto would have had to be content with a minor letter while a relatively less proiicient player in a major sport received a large S . . fi . 95 Charles Traylor CHEER LEADERS Under the leadership of Charlie Traylor in his resplendent red and black jeans and jacket Cjeans occasionally out of commissionj the corps of yell leaders had a good year. Traylor was ably assisted by Turner Miller and during the football season the corps took to its bosom one carrot-topped Freshman, Clark Mayne, Who, clad in a fetching frock, was introduced at assembly before the Peoria Central game. Mayne proved to, be a promising lad and is ready to step into the shoes of the 'Senior leaders. The other member of the corps was William Fassero. These boys were effective in getting noise out of the cheering section, which is the business of a cheer leader. What more need be said? i FCDCDTBALL 1 9 2 7 TQNY MASSARO CAPTAIN Wentz Dolan Roellig FOOTBALL COACHES A person who has never had the job probably has no idea of the work involved in coaching a football team. Not only must the coaches give every minute of their time from the close of school until dark, but they must spend that time in actual physical exertion-for a team is not whipped into shape by merely telling 'em how. Countless problems arise to harass the coaches, and they bear no small responsibility to the team and to the school. Consequently, Springfield High School is fortunate in possessing a capable and efficient coaching staff, experienced in and devoted to their work. After a lapse of several years since the time when he turned out great football teams at S. H. S., Head Coach Daddy Wentz returned to the gridiron this year and proved that his old-time pep and knowledge of football were still with him. He won the loyalty and respect of every man on the squad. Line Coach Joe Dolan, formerly of the University of Notre Dame football team, performed wonders with a bunch of green linemen, instilling into them a speed and iight that counted in every game. And Coach Bill Roellig, baseball mentor, was out there as he is every year, working with the scrubs to develop future stars for the red and black. These men started the season with five letter men and built a good football team that won fairly and lost fighting, and played clean football all the time. ...gi 98 53..- Top lnfillfl Mr. VVvI1tz.

THE FOOTBALL SEASON Whatever else may be said of the 1927 football season, it cannot be denied that it was an unusual one. The first game, with Auburn, ended with the score 0 to 0. This having been regarded as the traditional practice game, it was looked upon as an ill omen for the success of the red and black, and there Was considerable surprise when, on the following Saturday, the strong Lincoln team was outplayed and outfought in another scoreless tie. Next the team journeyed to Danville, where again the official result was 0 to 0, in spite of Ike Chenoski's famous touchdown that wasnit a touchdown. This string of three successive scoreless ties is Without parallel in Illinois prep football, at least Within recent years. However, there Wasn't any question as to who won the remaining games. First Carlinville was swamped, 26 to 0, by a fast passing and running attack, then, two weeks later, the Big Red Steamroller from Peoria Central piled up the same score against a die-hard red and black team. Jacksonville came next, and was defeated 19 to 2. The Urbana game ended in a driving rain with the score 12 to 6 in favor of Urbana, thanks to two pretty runs by Root. On Thanksgiving Day at Decatur everything went wrong, and Springfield lost ingloriously to her old rival, 25 to 0. Although the season began freakishly and ended badly, only three games out of eight were lost, and that's the way to remember it. It was a successful season. 99 lyk- EDWARD CHENOSKI. Our captain for next year is an aggressive tackle who uses his hands and his head, as do all good linemen. Ike distinguished him- self by his close following of the ball, and many recoveries of opponent's fumbles, nota- bly in the Carlinville game and at Danville, where, however the referee called his touch- down back. EDWARD MCGUIRE. The fighting Irishmanf' Bud Was, sure, a real son of old Erin and a real football player. Shifty as a Weasel in the open field, he added many extra yards to his quota by twisting, pivoting, dodging and everlasting fight, He was an outstanding star in the Carlinville, Jacksonville, and Peoria Central games. 51 EMIL BANSBACH. The fastest man on the team, and a hard- driving, plunging back. Emil did consider- able 'passing and all the punting, until he was laid up with Water on the knee in the Peoria Central battle. How much the team suffered from his absence in the remaining games is a matter of sad recollection. 100 ya-- LEONARD TOMLINSON. JOHN HUNTER. Johnny shifted from half to full-back when Bansbach was hurt, and did some iine punting in the last few games. He was also the longest passer on the team, many of his tosses being good for thirty or forty yards. We will long remember his beautiful run for touchdown against Urbana. ROBERT FITZGERALD. Another first-letter man who played some A good center is invaluable to any team, and Leonard, following in the footsteps of his renowned brother Chunk , was a good one. His passing was fast and accurate, and there was usually a hole whenever the play was called through center. On defense few gains were made through Tomlinson. good football. Fitz called the signals from quarter-back berth and when he occasionally took the ball himself he seldom failed to ad- vance it. He was an accurate short passer and helped throw the scare into Lincoln by snag- ging a great many of Bansbachls tosses. 101 fse- JOHN ROURKE. A half-back who showed speed in the open field and was always making things strenuous for the other team. He was another Irish Bud with a lot of good stuffy a fellow who could be depended on in the pinches to do his job well. He will be back again next year. HENRY SELINGER. .Built like Benny Oosterbaan but not yet quite as famous. Hank was a little slow in getting started this season, but by the end of it he was getting the feel of things out there on the wing, and enemy interference was find- ing him a hard man to handle. His altitude made him an ideal receiver of long passes. FREDERIC REID. The only fellow on the team who could look the Peoria Central outfit in the eye with- out straining his neck. Fred Weighed 200 pounds in his stocking feet and naturally was rather hard to dislodge. He played a steady game at guard and should be a tower of strength as center next year. 102 isa-- HARLAN KING. s ALBERT VETTER. Here was a player who ended up the season with a reputation for hard fighting. Tackle on this team was by no means an easy position, what with the off-tackle smashing of Peoria Central, Urbana, and others, but Al filled the bill with distinction. Hobby was the smallest man of the bunch, next to Steele, but he was uncanny in his ability to sneak through interference and nail the runner for a loss. He had instinctive football sense and plenty of scrapg WALTER AMBUEHL. p p f This was the boy who was always dropping- 'em in practice, but never failed to hold on to ' the ball like grim death in a game. Inexpe- rienced as he Was, he matched in fight any end he went up against. , -.,.,g,f 103 STANLEY MEIZELIS. This was the First year that Stan ever played around with a football much, but he took kindly to Coach Do1an's line instruction, and turned into a strong tackle before the WILLIAM SEIFERT. snow began to fall. DE WITT REDD. This was one of the players who made the center of the line strong on defense. To play guard on this team required strength, alert- ness and, on offense, considerable speed. DeWitt had these qualities. Bill made his presence felt whenever he Went into the line. He played guard or tackle and played either position with a lot of fight and dependability. Another one of the boys who made the holes. -, 104 PAUL STEELE. This junior was the good little man of the team. In proportion to his size, he made probably the most amazing runs of any of the backs, being especially good at squeezing through cracks in the center of the line. Half pint will be bigger and better next year. RALPH CALL. Scholastic diiiliculties assailed Skinny toward the end of the season, and consequently he was not much in evidence as he might have been otherwise. When he was in the game, he played with a lot of speed and iight. ALBERT COLEMAN. Al played end and half-back, until, like Call, he met the Waterloo of second term exams. He was a reliable end, a specialist at getting the elusive forward pass, and against Jacksonville showed considerable line crack- ing ability from the half-back position. 1 , , Mgt 105 yin.- Tap Nou- : Tlonansinga, J..

FOOTBALL RESERVES There could be no First team without a second, and no second team without a third. The reserves, the men who take the punishment without getting in the headlines, are the real backbone of the team. This year S. H. S. was fortunate in having a bunch of scrappy underclassmen who made it hard for the varsity all season, and who showed a pigskin talent that means success for the red-and-black teams of the next few years. They played only one game, in which they went down to a hard-fought defeat at the hands of Divernon, 13 to 0. The team can be proud of its showing in this game, however, and the players may be sure that the experience gained in it will be of great value to them next year. Athletics in Springfield High School are and should be so conducted that to win a place on the second team is an honor only less distinguished than to make the first team lineup. -deff Eg..- if 107 fix? .J LM, Mt! 1 A if 108 fs? BASKETBALL 1 9 2 8 THGRNLQECQQESWELL Mr. Wentz Mr. Huseth BASKETBALL COACHES A chance observer who might have looked in at the gym door at any time between 3:30 and 5 130 of a winter afternoon would have been mightily impressed by the serious and businesslike way in which our basketball practice was carried on. There was no horse-play and very little noise. Everything was organized and directed, and the men themselves showed a grim earnestness and real willingness to work. Of course all this was due to the coaches. Coach Huseth, who coached last year's team, and Coach Wentz, who, a dozen years ago, brought his red and black team to a state championship, spent themselves unceasingly all season long to build up basketball skill and team work among the twenty or so men on the squad. They were the first men on the floor and the last men off'it, and every minute in between was spent in striving for the winning spark. All manner of small details were carefully watched and nightly records were kept of the shots from all parts of the floor, the shots and baskets credited to each man, and other such statistics. Whether or not all these efforts were in vain is a question which was not to be decided this year, but next. Having watched the training and the hard foundation grind, we should feel confident of the result. --D-'EH 110 filtr- 'Pop Row: Carl VVilson, John Murphy.

T BASKETBALL SEASON It is diiiicult to call a season in which only three games were won, a successful season, but nevertheless it was not as downright a failure as many people considered it. Faced with one of the toughest schedules in the history of basketball at Springfield High School, a schedule that demanded that they play a game on Friday and a game on Saturday of every week throughout January and February, the players gave all they had in every game. No game was lost that was not fought through to the finish, and after each defeat the boys worked harder than ever in practice to develop the team play that somehow never came. There was only one letter man from last year to start the season with, and he Went out in mid-year. Thereafter, Coach Wentz followed a policy of develop- ing the underclassmen who will make up the teams of the future. These underclassmen, especially the Sophomores, gave evidence of great basket- ball ability, but they were not experienced enough this year to defeat teams of the caliber that they had to play. At that, they came closer to winning many of the games than was comfortable for their opponents. 111 ga..- his stuff at the guard JOHN HUNTER. Johnny was one of the few players with experience from last year and was a great asset to the team until he became ineligible in mid-year. He knew EMIL BANSBACH. Because of his tremendous speed, Emil was especially suited for Wentz's fast breaking style of forward play. He did not come out until the middle of the season because of a football injury, but when he did come out he made his presence felt. JOHN MURPHY. 112 position and was a fast man down the floor. A lighting guard who knew how to stop a dribble and to break up the opponents' offen- sive plays, Murph was the kind of player ' ' rough. that shows up best when the going is He played a consistent game all season. FRED YAZELL. A Sophomore forward who came along fast until at the end of the season he was one of the best on the team. He was fast and a fighter, and everyone will remember his un- erring eye for free throws. CHARLES DIRKSEN. Dirk played equally well at forward and at center. In Hoorwork he was one of the cleverest men on the squad, possessing an uncanny ability to pick the unguarded spot and slip through the opposing defense for a basket. WICK CLAUS. This center was the star sharp-shooter of the team-in one game with Greenview scor- ing eighteen points. He was an adept handler of the ball and jumped center successfully against the tallest opposing pivot men. 113 ygq..- SCOTT GOLDSBY. Red-headed, fast and furious. You could always tell the location of this man on the Hoor, and you generally saw action if you watched him. He played hard and worked with his team-mates all the time. PAUL SHEIBLEY. Another Sophomore from Whom great things may be expected in the next two years. Scheib was a lightweight, but he made up for it in his trickiness and skillful handling of the ball. CARL WILSON. A husky guard who appeared in mid-season and after some weeks of training played a whale of a game against Virden in the District Tournament. He made a specialty of getting the ball off the backboard. 114 CHARLES WIESENMEYER. Wiess broke into the lineup in many of d his worth the late season games and prove as a cool and reliable guard.

FRESHMAN BASKETBALL TEAM The Freshman Basketball team, or rather teams, for there were two of them, became this year a highly organized group, with numerous players of more than ordinary promise. They played two games with the Lincoln High School Freshman team and two with the Roosevelt Junior High of Decatur, besides several games with Junior Independent teams around town. The heavyweight team, coached by Mr. Dolan, made a good showing in the Junior Playground League, and Coach Huseth's lightweights won the League tournament in their class. The Frosh came over several nights to do battle with the varsity and gave them pretty stiff practice sessions. They deserve a lot of credit for being a wide-awake, scrappy bunch, and they'll bear watching in the yearsfto come. -- -:ai llli live-- TRACK 1 fs 2 8 EMIL BANSBACH CAPTAIN ' p.

The weather, however, was unfavorable, and the meet was held on the 14th, each school running off its own events at its own Held. The results were compared by telegraph, and it was found that Quincy had won with 521f3 points, Springfield being second with 51 1f6 and Decatur third with 291f2. Through an oversight on the part of the officials, the relay was not run at Springiieldg if it had been, we would probably have won the meet. On April 21 the team met Lincoln at Lincoln and came home with 651f2 points to their 601f2. Captain Bansbach won the 50, 100 and 220 yard dashes, and also beat Gorens, the Lincoln sprinter, in the relay. The following Saturday he won the hundred and two-twenty at the Millikin Relays, while the two relay teams were taking a third and a fourth for fourth place in the meet. In the Big Twelve meet at Decatur, May 5, Bansbach again won all three dashes and Massero took third in the shot-put and second in the javelin throw-totaling 20 points for third place. Urbana won with 43 lf2 and Champaign was second with 24. 118 EDWARD McGUIRE.

BASEBALL SEASON Returning to their own diamond on the High School Athletic Field after a lapse of several years during which they had been forced to practice at Lincoln Park, S. H. S.'s ball players had a much better opportunity this year to get in shape for their season. Early in April the squad was called out, and the track men were soon dropping from their grind around the cinder path to sit on the curb and watch them at batting practice. The crack of bat against ball is an allur- ing sound-even for a half miler. Although as the Capitoline goes to press not half of the games sched- uled have been played, a successful season seems assured. The team rounded rapidly into form under the expert tutelage of Coach Roellig and has shown smart, heads up baseball in its encounters so far. Most of the players are under-classmen, which means that next year's team Will be mighty hard to beat. The captain and catcher, George Gold- smith, is one of the main reasons for the good pitching shown by green men. 124 lab-, CONNORS TOMMY O' .

S., with an increasing number of would-be Tildens and LaCostes turning out on the courts each spring to try for places on the high school team. Last year the doubles team of Bob Crook and Bob Fitzgerald won second place in the Big Twelve and third place in the state, and it was thought that this year the boys would turn in an even better record. So far, however, this has not been the case. In the- Decatur meet Crook met defeat at the hands of an old opponent, Baymiller of Peoria Central, and in the doubles he and Fitzgerald had the luck to meet Baymiller and Davis, their conquerors last year, in the semi-finals and were beaten again. This failure to get in on the medals may be traced to a lack of practice and consequent poor condition, but since then they have been practicing pretty steadily for the State Interscholastic meet at Urbana on May 18 and 19, and hope to make a better showing there. CThe results of the state meet are not known at the time this Capitoline goes to press.j The other men Who made up the 1928 tennis squad were Sam Mulford, Lester Roberts, Earl Monson, Robert Thomas, Robert Campbell, Robert Young, Fred Crook and John Emory Ross. From their number will come the stars of next year. liio +24-QM GULF 1 9 2 8 RQBERTCAQFIEIQARLTON Top Razr: llm-:lton Buckley. Wvlborn 111-utnii, Ashley Coats.

VARSITY GOLF Weeks before the courts give hope to the hearts of tennis players, SpringHeld's golfers are polishing up their mashie-niblicks and making sorties on the greens. This year Mr. Kavanaugh had them out at Bunn Park in good time, and they were in fairly good form for their first match with Champaign. Champaign, however, was a little longer off the tee or a little luckier on the green, and our team lost. The next encounter was with Peoria Manual at Peoria, where the Capital City lads were victorious. Then the team journeyed to Champaign on May 4, only to lose again to a superior brand of playing. On the fifth they took part in the golfing com- petition of the Big Twelve meet at Decatur, but were unable to solve the tricky hills and fairways of the course there and returned without placing. Ashley Coats, a veteran of several years of golf, helped coach the team this year, while Mr. Kavanaugh saw to the management of it. The captain of the team, Robert Charlton, played consistently good golf all season. The other members of the team were: Heaton Buckley, Richard Zahn, Roy Bertelli, Paul Walsh and Francis Fernandez. These men played in two or more matches. 132 Sept. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Nov. Nov. Nov. Dec. Dec. Dec. Dec. jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. jan. Jan. jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Apr. Apr.

It was because of this fact that the first theatre was built in 1839 for the use of the Illinois Theatrical Company, which operated from Chicago. Later, from time to time, there were various other small halls devoted to the drama. Joe Jefferson's fatherbuilt a theatre here one winter and was about to open up with his com- pany when the state legislature passed an exor- bitant license tax. A young lawyer named Lincoln defended Jefferson without fee and succeeded by his humorous eloquence in having the license re- voked. Rudolph's Opera House was built in 1868. After having entertained some of the greatest players of the day, including Edwin Booth, Joe jefferson and Laura Keene, the house burnt down in 1876. On the same site, in 1879, Chatterton's Opera House was opened with a concert by Mlle. Lita, a local chanteuse of some talent. For many years Chatter- ton's was the only legitimate theatre in Springfield and one of the finest theatres in the State. It fiourished in the golden years of the American Stage, when fine actors and actresses could and did remain independent of New York producers and brought their repertoire to small towns throughout the country. Among the stars who played at Chat- tertonys in the old days were Edwin Booth, Joseph Jefferson, john Drew, Walker Whiteside, Sarah Bernhardt, Ada Rehan, Julia Marlowe, Wilton Lackaye, Minnie Maddern, Robert B. Mantell and Harry Lauder. Otis Skinner gave the last perform- ance there in March, 1924. CThe entrance to the theatre is picturedj The Majestic was opened in 1907 and continued to play legitimate productions until 1913, when it became a vaudeville house. f l Wm A - Mui l f A7 Um . 4' f ....

H. S., opened the Dramatic season with an ambitious and highly successful production of Justin Huntly McCarthy's If I Were King, a play based on the romantic career of Francois Villon, poet, vaga- bond and rogue of 15th Century France. In this play Miss Margaret Rourke, director, again showed her mastery of the technique of the stage. The handling and grouping of the large ensemble was unusually line, and the acting in general bore the polish that is imparted only by expert coach- ing. Music was provided by a special student orchestra directed by Miss Soulman and Mr. Patrick, and the striking sets were created by Mr. Smith, Mr. Proctor and Miss Burnett. The Drama Class also presented a one-act Christmas Play before the student body, as is the custom every year. The play this year was a Russian one, The Babushkaf' and was very capably acted and staged. Another production on the S. H. S. stage which, although not given by High School students, was of the utmost importance in amateur dramatics, was John Masefield's Tragedy of Nan, presented by the Community Players on February 2 and 3. The several students in the cast did very Well, particularly Elizabeth Rinck, who gave a remarkably mature and finished performance as Nan. The play was directed by Miss Rourke. Under the direction of Mr. H. O. Ferguson, the united glee clubs this year surpassed even last year's Sweethearts with their production of the Reginald DeKoven opera, Robin Hood . This musical show was by far the most difficult yet attempted by the glee clubs, but they succeeded in mastering every detail and in giving three excellent performances. The tunes of Oh Promise Me and the tinkers' song lingered for days along the corridors. Last of all came the Senior Play, The Patsy, on June 1 and 2. There Was no Drama Class play in the second semester, which permitted Miss Rourke to devote more time to The Patsyf' and resulted in an unusually fine production. The play, because of its cleverness and humorous situa- tions, was very well received, and was acted to the hilt by an experienced and well-trained cast. The Senior Class and the players themselves have a right to be proud of it. -- 137 i3 JUSTIN McCARTHY'S IF I WERE KING Presented by The Drama Class Of the Springfield High School First Semester-1927-1928 FRIDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 2-2:30 FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 2-8:15 SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 3--8:15 Miss Rourke CAST OF CHARACTERS Francois Villon .......

Pa Harrington comes home to find that his older daughter, Grace, is engaged to Billy Caldwell, and that his younger daughter, Patricia, has again done something to incite her mother's wrath. This time Ma thinks Patricia is losing her mind. It later develops that she is merely quoting wise sayings from a set of books she bought to become popular. Patricia and Tony Anderson get acquainted. Elizabeth Miller ACT II. Ma and Pa Harrington have another family quarrel. Billy and Grace break their engagement. Patricia wins a cup in such a novel way that when she returns it to the donor he refuses to accept it and allows her to keep it. Patricia discovers that Tony is in love with her. ACT III. Pat is made the patsy again. This time she turns the tables, how- ever. And Grace's date with Tony Anderson turns out to be a betrothal of Tony and Patricia. Grace and Billy tix things up and Patricia, presumably, lives happily ever after with Tony. ,. ' f, HY, -Y fjff -..-ajf 1-13 EQ.- 41 Publications HE Sangamo Spectator was the first news- paper in Springfield. It was established in 1826 by Hooper Warren and was a one sheet weekly a little bigger than this Capitoline page. Other small papers appeared sporadically in the ensuing years, and in 1831 the Sangamo Journal. a six column folio, made its bow in support of national banks and the protective tariff. This is now the Illinois State Journal. The radically Jack- sonian Illinois Republican was established in 1835 and elicited many editorials and communications from Stephen A. Douglas when he was registrar of the land office at Springfield. In 1839 the Republi- can was merged with the Illinois State Register, which had come from Vandalia at the time the capital was moved. It happens that the press at high school now being used to publish the Bulletin is similar to the one on which the first copy of the Register was printed at Vandalia in 1836. A pic- ture of the press may be seen on the opposite page. . . In the last half century various other papers have taken a prominent part in Springfield life, notably the News, the Record and the Monitor. In a literary way, Springfield has its share of dis- tinguished sons and daughters. Edgar Lee Masters, author of the Spoon River Anthology, was inti- mately associated with Springfield and wrote Mitch Miller to prove it. Vachel Lindsay at- tended high school and fiunked Latin, even as you or I, and went forth with a fine gusto for the spice of life to make his name a living one in American letters. Among Springfield publications his Village Magazine cannot be forgotten-the Village Maga- zine that bore his passionate chant: Censers are swinging Over the town, Censers gigantic- Look overhead! Hear the winds singing- Heaven comes down- City, dead city, Awake from the dead! . i I I I II ' 3 'WA ,fy X I I ' I ey -A III ,rf-ff1 as:-gsm..-L. .

The policy in regard to assistants has been to select underclassmen where possible, in order to give them experience which should be of aid to next year's staff. Unnecessary and ornamental assistants have been dispensed with. The initial campaign for subscriptions, staged in October, resulted in a total of almost 1,500 subscribers. The book has been successfully financed by these subscriptions and by a few contributions and incidental money- earning ventures. The staff desires here to acknowledge the splendid work of Mr. Head, faculty adviser, Without whose intelligent and energetic supervision the 1928 Capitoline would never have come to publication.

Quotations. THE 1928 CAPITSOLINE The Capitoline for 1928 presents several interesting innovations, as the observant reader has probably noticed by this time, and since the Capi- toline itself may offer the only available opportunity for its makers to explain themselves, they gladly dedicate this page to thatpurpose. The motif contained in the end sheets and division sheets was adopted in the sincere conviction that it is not beyond the province of this year book to recognize and emphasize the Springfield background. For the material used we are indebted to various sourcesg the art work was done by the High School Art Department in conjunction with the Art Editor. By the Familiar Scenes section it is desired to remind the students of Springiield High School of the beauty of their campus and building-a beauty which is, we think, sometimes unappreciated. We have used a border for our pages because we think it looks better, and we have printed no ads in the back of the book for the same reason. We have emphasized athletics because We believe them to be deserving of emphasis, not only in the Capitoline but in the life of this and every other high school. We have striven generally to produce rather a pictorial than a written record of the school year, and to publish a Capitoline that should compare favorably with any high school annual in the excellence of its workmanship and the completeness of its treatment. -Mgt 148 Ea.- THE BULLETIN The Bulletin this year maintained its tradition of clean and interesting journalism. Under the supervision of Miss Wilcox, capably seconded by Miss VanDeventer, the Journalism classes proved themselves excellent news sleuths and turned out very good copy. Miss Dean again served as that indispensable functionary, the proofreader, and the Business Manage- ment of the paper, conducted by Mr. Kavanaugh, was efficient and energetic. Mr. Kavanaugh was assisted by Mr. La Fauce and by a picked squad of students, including George Hatmaker, Robert Neal and Alva June Forster on the circulation end, and Robert Deal, Albert Shuster, Orville Gathard, Louis London, John Rourke, William Telford and Robert Fults on adver- tising. The press work was done in the High School Print Shop, superin- tended by Mr. Jabusch. The Bulletinis most signal achievement of the school year was the winning of a distinguished rating among high school papers at the Illinois High School Press Conference, held at Urbana, November 17, 18 and 19, 1927. l-L9 THE VENTURE Under the guidance of Miss Graham the Scribblers Club for classj again in the spring of 1928 edited and published their literary magazine, The Venture. This publication contained contributions in story, essay, verse and drama from the four classes, and it maintained, if it did not sur- pass, the high standard set by the two previous Ventures of 1925 and 1927. The importance to a school of this size of some purely literary organ should not be belittled. The study of English becomes tremendously more interesting and vital to the students if they can be encouraged to attempt serious compositions of their own on their own initiative, and this encour- agement can be furnished in no better way than by a competitive literary magazine such as The Venture. Furthermore, the little magazine gives a great deal of entertainment, especially to those whoseproductions appear in it. The Venture was financed as before wholly by its sale to students, and was completely successful from that standpoint. It proved again that Springfield High School is capable of giving support and appreciation to the efforts of its scribes and artists, which is a source of ineffable satisfac- tion to those persons. iso gsm- E l - i y nanmismcx , - t 'P l ILOT ' 5 ' A Q Q i t , , l, it r i - i THE PILOT The Pilot is the only handbook S. H. S. has ever had, and it's a real one. It was published in the spring of 1927 by the Senior Girls' Council with the idea of enlightening incoming Freshmen and providing new- comers and visitors with information regarding the school and its institu- tions. The editorial staff of the book consisted of: Mary Evalyn Crooks- ton, Editor-in-Chief, and Helen Marx, Marian Simonson and Gertrude O'Brien, Associate Editors. The Pilot contains the school song, O Mighty Springfield , a com- plete table showing every course of instruction offered, a history of the High School, the present class schedule, descriptions of the library, cafe- teria and print-shop, Writeups of all the prominent societies and depart- mental clubs, a description of each branch of athletics and a list of the trophies Won, information about the band, the Drama, Debate, the Parent- Teachers Association, the Scholarship Society, the Springfield Educational Opportunity Fund, the Capitoline, the Bulletin, the Venture, and the Prom, also the Constitution of the Student Body, the School Yells, and a depart- ment of etiquette. i The Pilot is an exceedingly accurate and valuable guide to the school, and it ranks next to the Capitoline in indispensability. 151 Forensics T is recorded that in 1836 Daniel Webster and William P. Fessenden were entertained in Springfield, and Webster spoke at a barbecue in the grove at Jefferson and Walnut Streets. Web- ster was the greatest orator of his day, and he could have had no more appreciative listeners than the people of Springfield, who had lived from childhood up with the thunders and the repartees of stump speakers ringing in their ears. Illinois was a good place for speakers in those days. Abraham Lincoln was one of them. Abe had learned to talk to folks through years of story telling and backwoods argument, and when he added his name to the shingle on Fifth Street as a partner in the law firm of Stuart and Logan, no man was better qualified than he to speak before a jury. There are many testimonials to Lincoln's grave logic and his homely humor, his deftness and per- tinacity in cross-examination. He made a name for himself in his profession. Until 1858, however, Lincoln was scarcely known outside his own state. In that year, on June 16, he delivered his famous House divided against itself speech in the Representatives' Hall of the Old State House-a speech that was published in every newspaper, North and South, and drew the nation's eyes to Springfield. Douglas heard of it and challenged Lincoln to those great debates which were to cause Lincoln's ultimate election to the presidency. On the opposite page may be seen a picture of a typical debate. Almost every outstanding public man of the last half century has spoken before Springfield audi- ences. Perhaps the most brilliant occasion of this kind was the Lincoln Centennial Celebration at the armory on February 12, 1909, the principal speakers being M. jusserand, French Ambassador to the United Statesg Mr. Bryce, the British Ambassador, and The Great Commoner, William Jennings Bryan. www. ffv Xxx Q I i,f sa N x ixx If ff ni yffx W E' 5 'M f Q X dum W f jgnfgv 0 n -, rs : Q , T .

S. varsity debaters, coached by Miss Ellen Rourke, have had a very busy and fairly successful year. The question for debate having been the same in both the Illinois State Debating League and the Big Twelve Conference-viz., Resolved: that the essential features of the McNary- Haugen Bill for farm relief shall be enacted into Federal law -Springfield was represented by one affirmative and one negative team which debated in both leagues. The personnel of the teams follows: Affirmative, George Hatmaker, Margaret Ettelbrick and Webster Benedict, Negative, Clarence Fleischli, Charles Bane and George Schwaner. On March 6th the teams took part in a triangular debate with the Taylorville affirmative and the Pekin negative. The Springfield negative team won here, 3 to 0, and the affirmative lost at Pekin, 3 to O. On March 20th the Springfield affirmative beat East Peoria here, 3 to O, while the negative was winning at East Peoria by the same score. These two debates gave us 9 out of 12 judges in the State League, but our points were insufficient to keep us in the running in that league. On April 18th the negative team won here 4 to 1 over Decatur before an afternoon crowd of 600 students, while the affirmative was losing to Urbana, 3 to 2, in the first Big Twelve encounters. On May 1 the negative heat Jacksonville here, 4 to 1 and the affirmative was beaten there, 3 to 2. In the final Big Twelve Debates held at Decatur May 4th, both teams lost by narrow margins to the championship Pekin teams. 155 Ea..- James McLean Lacey Catron Carl Thoma INTER-SOCIETY DEBATE As a means of stimulating interest in debating' and a'so for the fun of the thing, an annual debating tournament between the literary societies was begun several yearsrago by the ParentfTeachers Association. The debates this year were well attended and provoked some interesting competition. The question taken for debate was the same one that had been selected for Big Twelve competition: Resolved, that the essential features of the McNary-Haugen Bill be enacted into Federal legislation. At the First session, December 20th, the Thalians beat the Hi-Y's, the Les Bas beat the Philos, and the Wranglers beat the Delphics. At the second session, Jan- uary 4th, the Les Bas eliminated the Thalians, putting themselves in the last bracket with the Wranglers. In the final debate, held in Room 14 on January 14, the Wrangler team, composed of Lacey Catron, Carl Thoma and James McLean, won a two-to-one decision over the Les Bas team, com- posed of Marguerite Snodgrass, Nadina Boardman and Mary Callahan. The Judges were Mr. East, Principal of the Harvard Park School, Mr. Fildes, Principal of the Hay-Edwards School, and Mr. Stickney, Principal of the Lawrence School. 156 gs-- , Robert Fitzgerald Clarence Fleischli BJ-G Although four events are included in the public speaking contest held every year as part of the Big Twelve Conference meet, Springfield was represented this year in only two events. Owing to a lack of classroom work no entries were made in dramatic reading and oration, it should be understood that both these events offer opportunities as great as either of the other two, and they should henceforth incite equal interest and com- petition among the students. The Big Twelve meet was held in Decatur on May 4 and 5, and the public speaking events took place at Decatur High School on Friday after- noon, May 4. The contest for the best oration was Won by Hilda Van Horn, of Pekin, and the dramatic reading was won by Emma Ankele, of Danville. Merle Hobson of Urbana won the extemporaneous speaking contest, with Arthur Fruit of Decatur, second, and Clarence Fleischli of Springfield, third. In this contest each entrant was given the same magazine article and an hour to prepare a five-minute speech upon it. F1eisch1i's speech showed originality in idea and construction, while most of the other speeches stuck to the main outlines of the magazine article. The interpre- tative reading contest was won by Robert Fitzgerald of Springfield, with Beatrice Fink, Danville, second, and Irene Presnell, Pekin, third. The poems read were Opportunity, by Edward Rowland Sill, and the Hrst part of The Highwaymanf' by Alfred Noyes. ff , --.if 157 Organizations PRINGFIELD has had a branch of practically every prominent national fraternity, and has always been distinguished in its support of such organizations. Because it is the Capital of Illinois and the world renowned shrine of Abraham Lincoln, many conventgons have chosen it for their meeting place, and the city has been uniformly suc- cessful in their reception and entertainment. Po- litical parties have rallied their battalions and pitched their campaign tents here, and there were torchlight parades for Bryan in the old days, when Altgeld reigned as governor and K'silver was the battle-cry. The Lincoln Tomb, pictured on the opposite page, was built by the old Lincoln Memorial Asso- ciation, which was perhaps the biggest organization in Central Illinois during the twenty-odd years after Linco1n's death. In 1909 the centennial of Lin- coln's birth was celebrated by the Lincoln Centen- nial Association. The Sangamo Club was one of the earliest men's clubs in the city. The Illini Country Club and the more recent Grand View Country Club have furnished Springfield with social and recreational facilities, and the Midday Luncheon Club has brought many noted speakers to the city. The work done by the various churches and by the Woman's Club along charitable and social lines cannot be overestimated. The Civic Orchestra, the Art Association, the Community Players, the Amateur Musical Club and the Morning Etude Club have been most successful in giving the people of Springfield opportunities for esthetic enjoyment. Last of all, the city is fortunate in possessing an alert and progressive Chamber of Commerce, which has been responsible in many ways for the recent remarkable development, and which may be trusted to continue with the work of making Springfield a beautiful and successful city.

It has grown steadily under the inspiring leader- ship of Miss Soulman until it now numbers, with the prep orchestra, over one hundred twenty-five pieces. It has balance, power and tone color to a degree seldom attained by a high school orchestra. Of the second annual orchestra concert on April 13th the Bulletin said that neither Friday the thirteenth nor a drizzling cold rain was able to dampen the enthusiasm of the large crowdi'-indeed, the receipts were much larger than those of last year, which goes to prove that people ap- preciate good music.

GLEE CLUBS This year has been a very successful one for the Glee Clubs. Their new director, Mr. H. Ottice Ferguson, who came here from Lincoln, Nebraska, has carried on the work of head of the Music Department in an able manner, and in his iirst year at S. H. S. has won a position of great popularity not only with the Glee Clubs but with the whole student body. His rousing school song, composed during the football season, Fight, fight for Springfield, has already become a classic of almost equal rank with Springfield, O Mighty Springfield. The Glee Clubs have sung at various recitals, including the orchestra concert, and have appeared also before several of the Civic Clubs of the city. They have made a reputation in Springfield for fine choral singing -..ggi 164 E+..- Boys' Glee Club Tap Rolf: Harris White, Walter Smith, .lack Sllll'l10V2lllt, llurold Stl'll'kl2l1lll, lV4'lll0l'll Eaton, Mr. l4'4-rguson, llolwrt Sheullzm.

The culmination of their season's work was, of course, the annual operetta, this year an opera, Robin Hood? It was an ambitious thing to produce, but it was produced in a way that left no doubt as to the talent of the Glee Clubs nor the ability of their conductor. At the Big Twelve meet, held in Decatur on May 4 and 5, the Glee Clubs Won high honors for their school. Saturday night, May 5, they took First place together in the mixed chorus event, with Urbana second, and the Boys' Glee Club also Won First over Peoria Central. These Wins proved that they sang just as well against competition as they did at school-and that's Well enough to Win almost any meet. 165 ge- ' 'Pop IEW: llmll4'Tt Young, Charles Man-sll, Wilbur Iiillllllilflll.

BIG TWELVE SOLOISTS About the only opportunity Springfield High School's talented musi- cians have to test their prowess against that of the players of other schools comes in the Spring with the annual Central Illinois High School Confer- ence, or Big Twelve Meet. In the events included in this meet S. H. S. soloists have consistently won major honors in past years, and this year was no exception. The individual music contests were held at Decatur High School on the afternoon of May 4th. The Springfield entrants were driven to Decatur that morning and returned in the evening. In the girls' alto solo Imogene Shane of Springfield won first place. Ben Barnes took second in the Flute solo, Carl Bretscher took second in the oboe solo, Wilbur Baumann took third in the clarinet solo, Robert Young took second in the cornet solo, Charles Marsh took second in the French horn solo, John Watt took fourth in the trombone solo, Ralph Heicke took fourth in the baritone solo, and Dorothy Bishop took fourth in the 'cello solo. Robert Sheehan was high point man of the music meet, winning first in both the piano and tuba solo. Robert Abels also helped boost the school record by taking first in the violin solo. It was a line showing, and, with the Wins scored by the glee clubs, helped to win the musical events with a total of fifty-three points. 166 Top Rozr: Josephine 111-Castro.

The membership this year was over sixty, every one of whom was a serious and enthusiastic music lover. The Club took as its theme Composers, Their Lives and Compositions, at each meeting a dif- ferent composer being studied. On May 11 the Annual Junior Etude Assembly Was given before the student body, at which numbers Were given by a group of the Club's most talented and proficient members.

It need not be disguised that in S. H. VS. the Senate has had very little to do in the past few years. The Class governments have proved fully capable of taking care of themselves, and the Athletic Board of Control has functioned smoothly enoughg so that the Senate has merely stood in an advisory capacity, ready for action if any pressing need arose. The Senators are chosen in September, two from each class, one by the Representatives and one by the faculty advisers. Those elected this year were: January Senior Class: James McLean, Helen Wattsg June Senior Class: Stanley Thomas, Margaret Ettelbrickg Juniorsz. Webster Bene- dict, Virginia Davisg Sophomores: Robert Thomas, Margaret ,Wilsong Freshmen: Dwight O'Keefe, Alma Cox. 165 Ee-P THE CAFETERIA The Cafeteria is one of the few Organizations,' which Springfield High School just couldn't do without. The young appetite being what it is, cafeterias are pleasant things at noontimeg our cafeteria being whatiit is, you can't blame the young appetite. Mrs. Jones has completed another year of careful and business-like operation, assisted by a corps of students just as efficient as ever in the handling of the food. The above picture shows them lined up behind their inviting counters, waiting for the mid- day rush of seekers of the protein and the carbohydrate. Long live the Cafeteria, haven of the hungry, solace of the solitary, recreational center and babel of tongues! 1 59 Top Row: Wade Meredith. Lacey Catron, Robert Young, Frederic Reid.

GIRL SCOUTS The Girl Scouts, like the Boy Scouts, have for their goal usefulness, self-reliance and high moral ideals. There are two troops in High School, Troop 5, captained by Miss Lasch, and Troop 6, captained by Miss Ruth Alexander. The two troops have practiced scouting in its various aspects, such as overnight hiking, compass games, tracking and community service. The organization of a troop consists of a captain, three patrol leaders, three' corporals, a treasurer and a scribe, or secretary.

We therefore specify horseback riding, With an envious glance at the equestrian group pictured above, as being fun and plenty of it. These girls, whose total number is sixteen, meet every Monday and Thursday afternoon at four o'clock, when the Weather is good, at the Hillside Riding Academy, end of the Lawrence avenue car line, for an hour and a half of riding wheresoever they listg and on holidays they take long canters in the country, sometimes being in the saddle for twenty or twenty- five miles. They not only have the out-of-door pleasure of riding, but G.A.A. members among them are given certain credits for honors. Miss Lomelino is in charge of the group and acts as chaperone on all rides. -may 179 'Pop Ixifzlfi Stuart Slfl'K'llll2lll, Mic-lmul Metz. .XI'tl1lll' llHl'l'lll2lll. ll?ll'j1l'?lVx' Swift.

The Club meets every other Tuesday to study different types of radios and to experiment with different kinds of hook-ups. Most of the boys have made at least one radio of their own, and they all profit by the knowledge gained together in the Club. A ,H , wlvll LC1 fo lfiylll: XVilli:1111 IH-111-4111.

SPRINGFIELD HIGH SYNCOPATERS With the help and encouragement of Mr. Patrick a new jazz orchestra made up of band members appeared in the second semester. The orchestra being then nameless, a competition was held in which students Were invited to submit titles for it, with a prize of two dollars and a half for the Winning title. Louis Kramp Won the contest with his Springfield High Synco- paters and the rag-time band has since borne that name. The Syncopaters were introduced at assembly and made quite a hit with the school by their rendering of Among My Souvenirs and other tunes popular with the crowd. They also played one noon in the Cafeteria during lunch period, but were not quite as distinctly heard as in their previous appearance. They were on the program at Open House, and provided the music for the basketball and for the Philo Phrolic. On April 20th they syncopated for the Elks on the Elks Roof Garden. The orchestra has ten pieces: Charles Francis, trumpetg Theodore Bachmann, trombone, Meredith Saxer, bassg Bennie Evans, pianog Truman Cole, banjog Norman Taylor, violing William Penrod, drumsg Earl Kane, 'st saxophoneg Joe Churchman, 2nd saxophoneg Ed Conavay, Sd saxophone. .I....,.,.. 7777. .f..,.-.f .-..A . . , .1 TT ,..,,,a ,..,.-Y-Y...,Y,..,,.-,,,,, ,,?, ,nw Y W N Yr r- W 'l '2 if 'I ity is Z ici -.W .v --V 71 il , , ,, ,A P-.-----yvm-v--V----v-. - .,-Y..

Mansfield The French Club Was founded to provide, outside of the classroom, an opportunity for the study of French history, French customs, French lit- erature and the beautiful French tongue itself. The club this year has had to contend with the inexperience of its members, no member having had more than two years of Frenchg nevertheless, many enjoyable meetings have been held and interesting little explorations and discoveries made. Every member has become more proficient in his spoken French by reason of his membership in the club.

This has been accomplished by conducting the meetings entirely in Spanish and by introducing native Spanish games, poems and songs into the program.

The club also sent representatives to the district conven- tion. Social pleasures among the girls themselves were not neglectedg although they did not tell each other stories, they had a Christmas Party and a St. Patrick's Day Party. -..ggi Ein.- n .' , ., l, r . , 1 , l A L 4 x.

There is room in the making of sets for real artistry-for the creation of an atmosphere to Fit the play and the charac- ters. During the past year the Stage Craft Club has performed a great deal of this work for all the plays, and has been uniformly successful. Some very difficult sets were constructed for If I Were Kingj' including a church scene and a balcony scene, and Robin Hood, The Tragedy of Nan, the Faculty play and the Senior Class play were equipped by the efforts of the Club. .Vx ig , , ' sv: Q V,-1, -T n ,ff , C gf ,, ,, :- MH 'Pop Rlill'Z Fl'4'll Yzlzell, l':llWil1'd Mc-illiirv, Ch:u'l4's Dirksen, Wvlllllllll Fvifvrt.

THE S CLUB The S Club is a purely honorary organization in which membership is extended to any boy who has won his varsity letter in a major sport. It is a society in much the same sense as the Scholarship Society, since it holds few meetings and transacts no business, and is formed only for the purpose of giving recognition to those who have played for the honor of Springfield High School. It is nevertheless a moving influence in the school, and no other society can hold quite the attraction that it holds for the aspiring under-graduate, just as no other society emblem can be quite as glorious as the big, red S which is its badge of membership. -M54 190 GIRLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OFFICERS 1927 1928 Betty Dallman ........., President ..........

Their purpose they state as follows: First, to create a spirit of friendliness toward everyone, second, to live up to our Christian idealsg third, to be honest in all our undertakingsg fourth, to be ready for service at all times. A glee club of six girls was formed and sang at the First Christian Church. The club was successful in obtaining good speakers for its meetings and passed an enjoyable year. 4- is was Society HEN Lincoln came to Springfield it was a custom among the young folks for each girl to keep a candle burning in her window at dusk, signifying that she was at home to the youth of her choice. Such a beacon failed to appear for the lonesome young lawyer, but he found a- social sanctuary in the home of Ninian W. Edwards, later governor of Illinois, who had come to Springfield in his own coach and four, with outriders and pos- tilions, in the fashion of a Southern gentleman. Gay were the entertainments at the Edwards' home, and Mrs. Edwards was a charming and sympathetic hostess. Here Lincoln met Mary Todd and carried on his extraordinary courtship as a rival of Stephen A. Douglasg here he was finally married to the Ken- tucky belle in 1839. CThe old Edwards place, pic- tured on the opposite page, was torn down in 1916 to make room for the Centennial Building.J It may be mentioned incidentally that although Springfield was a Northern town, there was at least one slave here at that time, and his sale is a matter of record. As Springfield grew in prosperity and population, magnificent carriages appeared upon its muddy streets, and there were sparkling balls and cotillions to take the place of the old corn-huskings of the frontier. For many years one of the most outstand- ing events of this kind was the Inauguration Ball held in the State House on the eve of the Inaugura- tion of the Governor. The governors of Illinois were illustrious men in those days, and the New Year's receptions at the executive mansion were occasions to remember. Toward the end of the century the most prominent local social events were the Assembly Dances at the old Leland Hotel. llIi1 A Mgfgkvm S .

It was impracticable to obtain pictures of all the dances and parties that have been given during the year, and it was, of course, impossible to get a photograph of the junior- Senior Prom, since at the moment of publication that brilliant culmination of the season's hoofing still sparkles in the exciting future. Therefore, three representative events were chosen for photos and are here chronicled in the order of their appearance-one for the Wranglers, one for the Del- phics, and one for the Girls' Societies. The other dances-and there were other excellent ones-are mentioned, We believe, in the accounts of the activities of their sponsors. If it be Whispered that the balance leans rather heavily toward the masculine societies, the Editor can only sadly deprecate the unfortunate make-up of the Capitoline staff, which contains one girl. The Wrangler Dance occurred on the eve of the fifteenth of October, about three hours after the crack of the pistol had halted SpringF1eld's initial triumph on the football Held, Carlinville having been swept down is 'A 197 Eel-- f, Delphic Dance smoothly, 26 to 0. Consequently, Miltonls mirth and jollity pervaded the festive gathering, and particularly invigorated those temporary gridiron heroes who shuffled their weary dogs to the heavenly strains of Blue Heaven and the St. Louis Blues. Bill Nelms and his band presided, with melodies at their Hnger tips and rhythm in their souls, and between halves-pardon us-during the interlude, Bill played George Gershwinls Rhapsody in Blue like the coloratura of the piano that he is. The gentle reader will notice the decorative scheme, which consisted of a low hung ceiling of crepe paper and numerous fair damsels, and is invited to deter- mine which made the most effective appearance. The orchestra may be seen dimly in the background. The Delphics, having the business man's itch for the novel and the bizarre, held forth on the night of another football game with a Masquerade Ball. The date was October 28, and the game was the one with Peoria Central, of which nothing more need be said, particularly . . . Well, there's nothing sweller than a swell fancy dress hop. We personally remem- ber with what swash-buckling exhiliration our soul expanded on encounter- ing a pirate captain with a hook, Whom we elbowed as brazenly as he might have done to one of his benighted victims on the end of a plank in 1672. -. 195 lik., Girls' Christmas Party Such small sensations as this, unmixed with any apprehension as to the real identity or reactions of the buccaneer, contributed greatly to the eve- ningis charm. The girls seemed comely enough, Whether in crinoline ruffles or in rompers, and the average grade of hooiing was better than usual, owing, it is thought, to the orchestra, whichnwas again Nelms', and to the general atmosphere of make-believe. Perhaps the loveliest moment came when the Capitoline photographer mounted into Lovers' Lane and plain- tively beseeched the turbulent rabble to stand quiescent While he took its picture. The result greets you above and to the left. The last event to be here described took place on December 22 in the Housekeeping Suite. It was a Christmas Party given jointly by the three Girls' Literary Societies, Les Bas Bleus, Thalians and Philos, with a Christ- mas tree and all the trimmings and doubtless also a Yule log and the drink- ing of wassail. Being a male, the Editor had not the pleasure to be present at this jolly gathering, but he is reliably informed that a good time was had by all. There were stunts by each of the clubs, and subsequently there was dancing by all hands. The refreshments, while not cranberries and goose, were still in the best Christmas tradition, and on the whole the affair was one of the bright spots of the season. -. Q24 199 Visions HE steady growth of Springfield during the last decade is, to far-seeing people, an assur- ance that the coming years will witness even greater development. The city has its visions of the future, and it has, too, the aggressive and co- operative spirit needed to make them realities. Furthermore, it is eminently distinguished among American cities in its possibilities for unified im- provement. Springfield has one memory hallowed above all others-the memory of Abraham Lincoln. With every passing year it has seemed more iitting that this memory should be preserved in the preserva- tion and enhancement of the Lincoln memorials, and in 1924, with this end in view, the city adopted an ofiicial city plan, embodying the following features: I. The deflection of the railroads from the center of the city to a Union Terminal at East Capitol Avenue and Eighteenth Street. , II. The creation of a magnificent setting around the Lincoln home, comprising seven full blocks south of Capitol Avenue, to be used for a civic center, with an open air theatre and other public buildings. III. The connection of the state house with Lin- coln's tomb by means of a beautiful boulevard on First Street, and the widening of Capitol Avenue from the state house to the proposed Union Station. IV. The formation of a lake east of the city, 15 miles long and several miles wide, where future citizens may go boating and swimming, and from which an adequate water supply will be derived. The completion of these projects, together with the development of a great municipal airport at Lindbergh Field, is something to which every citi- zen should give his enthusiasm and support, for they will be the glory of the Springfield of the future. ffgf ff-.V xy' 3 V fgj, , X X f if ff c 3 X1 ip I X 4' Q fy -if' fff - ' 74 J- JT ff- iii f-, Q . 1' ' if ' - T .f , -A - i .Q 'H 5, 2 - ff - - -- - - 5: ' Q f f - - -h XQ Q ..,- f? .xx fs.
