Some have sent their sons away nevervto return. as death knows no boundaries. Others. more fortun- ate, are waiting patiently to welcome home their sons. now heroes of battles in far oi! lands. And although these same mothers are never decorated lor the pains and sorrows which they suffer as cr result of this war, they are the true American hero- ines. It is they, the gold star mothers who. alter the material war has ended. still feel the grief and hard- ship the war has brought upon them. And so to this noble group ol mothers, who have given their sons in order that the American way ol life might be preserved. we humbly dedicate this book. 0 pg Foreword Never before in the history of the world. has there been such a great need ior international co- operation asl there will be when the present war has ended. Many wars have been fought and peace treaties written, but none have met with suc- cess because too much stress was placed on the winning of the war and the return to peace time conditions, rather than on writing a sure and last- ing peace. We hope we have profited by our mistakes so that the United Nations, who have banded together in the greatest movement toward world peace ever known. will be able to channel every nation into a world iederation based on iustice to all humanity. 5 !- -5 I a s D QMMEZQ5 Q 0 2 , fi if .

As chief administrator Mr. Davis must keep in constant contact with both students and faculty. assisting them in whatever is necessary. Realizing the school's first obligation to the student- preparing him for his future career-Mr. Davis has intro- duced many new courses in the curriculum. aiming to do this very thing. Consequently, in the course of four years the best in every student is brought to light. Under his guidance our school has conducted several war bond drives in addition to promoting the regular sale of war stamps on the lunch shifts. Also, in keeping with the war aim he has encouraged the first aid classes which are. at present, functioning so well. All in all we should say, Hats off to a grand principal -Mr. Lyman K. Davis-who has established for our school such an enviable record! ' 'Q E.. ik A K .vgwygzy , . K ,. s . A , K K ,K V M W' -9.4-Y A l 4 W .

Better known to the students as Daddy Wentz , he is able to cope with the most trying situations without losing his friendly smile and, most important of all, the pupils' good will. Mr. Wentz is interested 'always in the reason-not in dealing out the punishment. If there is a rift between teach- er and pupil he works for a better adiustment and a better understanding between the two. In other cases, he helps students who are also working outside of school to make this adjustment without too much conflict with their school program. f A In his spare time Daddy Wentz serves as one of the two faculty advisers to the Student Council. ' Students of Springfield High-both those who have come in contact with Daddy . and those who have not-will always remember him as the person with the friendly smile who keeps the situation well in hand.

Better and more opportunities are open for them in this year of War than ever before. The commercial department acquaints the student with the underlying principles of business, giving him a basic knowledge of its organization and its administration, thus preparing him for certain positions which require, more or less, specialzed training.

You're right, their senior history exams. Each stu- dent is required to take two years of social science. The second year must be Ameri- can History. The other year of World His- tory may be taken in either the sophomore or junior year. Now more than ever the social science department has placed more stress upon the understanding of Civil government and citi- zenship than on facts, places, and dates. In both World History and American His- tory classes one day out of each week is spent reading and studying Current Events, a paper published for students analyzing late world news. This gives students a chance to delve into the political and eco- nomic problems ot the world. At a time when practically all the nations of the world are locked in a struggle for their existence it is vital to know the cause of war, preven- tions, and a solution to world peace. The accomplishments acquired from courses of history taken in high school are enormous. Courses may be taken which start with the beginning of civilization, through early Egyptian civilization, into the Middle Ages and through modern European history, .then down through our American history to the present war. Throughout the year numerous essay con- tests, sponsored by civic organizations, were conducted through the history classes. Also among the out-of-class activities was the Social Science display case. This was bedecked with interesting posters, booklets, miniatures, murals, and other student project work. Although history is a required subject, many students become so enmeshed in its problems that advanced courses are offered. Twenty-one English Department WRITE THE NEWS-FACTUAL, RELIABLE, AND COMPLETE -ENGLISH 4 ln l944 and l945, Springfield High School students in English are still learning to speak well, to punctuate Well, to spell well, and to cultivate adequate vocabularies. They are still learning to grow mentally by get- ting the ideas of profound thinkers. Through reading they are enlarging their horizons so they may develop richer personalities and be ready to live fuller, finer lives, ready to come to grip with real situations in this free world, Working to perfect a democracy. Interest in current problems of a practical nature directed reading and reports to world-Wide concerns. Postwar plans absorb seniors. This year historical novels, especially those with an international setting, win favor. Students are debating the merits of military training for high school youth. ln- creasing, too, is the recognition of the im- portance and value of practical knowledge, logical reasoning, and critical, independent thinking.

This ruling has doubled the size of the gym classes and has also created a class which meets at 8:15 in the morning. The instructors have devised exercises to develop strength, stamina, and endurance and to promote bodily coordination. The gym classes are designed to develop the desires and techniques of being well in the students and to make of them happy, active, cooperative human beings able to stand the strains and stresses of present day living. The regular classes go in for more com- petitive sports to develop team play, but the 8:15 gym classes concentrate on exercises tor body health. One absence is allowed in each term. Absences exceeding one must be made up. A special sixth period gym class Was organized for all boys participating in corn- petitive sports such as basketball, football, and track. This class meets every day in- stead oi the usual every-other-day gym classes and has as its main purpose to keep the school athletes in condition the Whole year round.

With a great demand for mathema- ticians in all branches oi the service, the enroll- ment for these subjects has doubled and trebled. Now more than hali the school enrollment is tak- ing one or more mathematic courses. With the help of the students this department maintains one of the school's most interesting show cases. A student is not eligible for a grade of B or above unless he has completed at least one major or two minor projects each semester. From these projects, which range from elemen- tary graphs to illustrated field projects in trigo- nometry, the best are chosen to be displayed. MJ-X.: Univers ty of Col- oradoy Colurnb Univer sit .

Kavan- augh, the Industrial Arts department has strived to give its students an active interest in the industrial life, both in production and distribution. Here actual trades are learned. From this department will come out future draftsmen, carpenters, machinists, printers and electri- cians. Along with learning the actual fun- damentals of their respective trade, students will acquire many habits that will help them not only in their Work but in their every day life. They acquire an attitude of pride in accomplished Work: the habit of an orderly method of procedure in the performance of any task, an attitude of readiness to assist others when they need help, and a thought- ful attitude in making things pleasant and safe for others.

HALL DEMONSTRATES AN EXPERIMENT Science Many are the students at Springfield High School who are taking advantage of one of the most popular courses offered-namely science. The science courses are open to all stu- dents. For the freshmen there is general science While sophomores may take either botany, biology, or zoology. Although only one year of science is re- quired for graduation, many students be- come so intrigued by its wonders that advanced courses are offered. These ad- vanced courses include physics and chem- istry. Future doctors and nurses are taking bot- any, biology and Zoology, the engineers are taking chemistry and physics, the prerequi- sites ot engineering. Now, with the increased demand for engineers, doctors and nurses by the army these courses have become very important, Yes, it is these science courses which will aid in the transition from the science student of today to the scientist of tomorrow!

Thirty-one Main Office I v 1 Miss Atkins Miss Aurelius lf you Want to know about your high school record, good or bad, just ask Miss Atkins or 'Miss Davis. lt is their job to carry on all correspondence for the school and keep the records of all students who attended Springfield High School. They are also giving another great service to the school by collecting and compiling the names of all alumni who have entered service. Student Office So you're going to cut next period, are you? You had better stop and think twice because our school has a most efficient student office staff. Besides keeping would be mis- chievous students in line, these two never tiring souls must meet practically the whole school every day and meet with problems from finding lost fountain pens to setting broken legs in the absence of the nurse. Miss Davis Miss Robb Thirty-two Student Service ln the cafeteria the majority of the student body is fed each day. Because of the great number of students desiring to eat their home-cooked meals, three lunch shifts had to be created to take care of the overflow crowd. For the last two years the cafeteria has been under new management. ln this short period of two years Miss Devlin has proved herself a most capable directress by serving good meals at a minimum cost. This great improvement has drawn the majority of the students into the cafeteria. Each week a new menu was introduced so that it was quite impossible to tire of their delicious home cooked food. Another unsung heroine of our school is our librarian, Miss Zimmerman. Although she has only been with us for a little over two years she has won the regard and ad- miration of all who have come in contact with her. ln addition to giving help to all who need it during the regular six periods, she is in the library each morning at 8:00 o'clock, ready to come to the rescue of the bewildered freshman or the still confused senior. Miss Zimmerman had her troubles though and they fell fast and furious. She is probably the only librarian who has had the roof fall down on her . . . library. That just goes to show you what happens if she's not around to keep the situation well in hand. We are very fortunate in having at our school cr woman well known in her field of work-our nurse, Miss Southwick. Many serious injuries have been prevented and diseases checked by the quick thinking of this lady.

Since then she has been promoted to the rank of Captain and is now stationed at San Diego, California.

One of their outstanding achievements was a most practical class project.

S. They foresaw that time would pass quickly and soon the responsibilities of senior class activities, as well as manhood or Womanhood would be thrust upon them. That time has arrived! Soon they are to take up the reins of student government. Soon they will show the rest of the school that during their three short years in high school they have earnestly endeavored to prepare themselves for the task. And soon they will have acquired the experience of four years at S. H. S. which tends to develop a student into the highest ranks of manhood and womanhood. This class has continued to maintain their high scholastic standing and participation in athletic events so prevalent in their high school careers.

But they have borne the intiations into various clubs and organizations while at the same time affording a humorous atmosphere for the rest of the student body. However, these students had a more serious side in their pursuit for higher knowledge. By now they have chosen their particular aims in life. And as shown by their records, they are striving earnestly to achieve their goals.

Seventy-four Student Supervisors MISS LOMELINO MISS HAGER Study Hall Study Hull Supervisor Supervisor MISS BUNDY, Dean of Girls Probably one of the busiest persons around school is Miss Bundy, Dean of Girls. The two girls' study hall counselors are directly under Miss Bundy. With her super- vision the programs of the girls are arranged. She also secures needed information and the requirements from different colleges so girls who are planning to further their edu- cation will have this information. Among other various services she performs are: adviser of the Student Council, adviser to both Ianuary and Iune Prom committees, and director of the student program con- ducted for the Parent Teachers Association. At the beginning of the year freshmen are assigned to a study center which will MR. GWIN. Co-Dean of Boys remain the same throughout their stay in high school. Their respective study hall supervisors act as their counselors, helping them to plan their courses and learn good study habits. The four study hall supervisors are Miss Lomelino, Miss Hager, Mr. Gwin, and Mr. Petefish. These four attempt to create an atmosphere Wherein the student studies and Works on his own initiative. lt is in the study halls that high school publications are sold, announcements are made, Student Council members are elected, and general activities are conducted.

Between the covers of this book we have tried to cram in 148 pages as much of that history as pos- sible, The planning of the book started in the early part of last summer. After many con- ferences of the editorial staff, the adviser and the art editors, an appropriate theme was finally decided upon. ln choosing a theme it must be taken into consideration Whether or not the theme is in harmony with the present time, and whether or not it is pleasing to the student's eyes. We believe we have chosen such a theme. At first, progress was slow due to film shortages, priorities, lack of materials and many' other stumbling blocks that impeded progress. But as the school year rolled along the pace quickened till the annual was completed. Completed, we say, as far as the work of the staff is concerned. How- ever, because of labor shortages which caused considerable hindrance to the work of both the engraver and printer, there was a delay in finishing the book. The unusually interesting and colorful art work displayed in the book was not the work of the art editors alone although they do deserve the majority of the credit. lt did, however, take many hours of confer- ences of the adviser, the art editors and the editorial staff in deciding definitely upon the type of artistic copy and theme material which would most effectively carry out the theme. Again in the photographic layouts is the This one will freeze you Bob looks the situation over Oh, io be back in grade school! ! Eighty Your 1945 need for cooperation among several of the departments necessary. ln the snapshot sec- tion complete agreement among the art edi- tors, the photographer, the adviser and the editor must be reached to bring out the abilities of all the departments to their best advantage. Probably the unsung heroes of this book are the typists. All copy used in the book must be typed before being handed in to the printer. Many hours had to be spent in typing the Words that go to make up the copy of this book. The Business Staff is probably the most independent division of the staff. Each year it has acted more and more upon its own until finally a separate division of the Capi- toline Staff Was made. This year the Busi- ness Staff sold Well over the planned quota of a thousand books and secured many acknowledgements in order to maintain financial security and incidentally to make a little profit. With this increase in sub- scriptions a more varied and attractive look- ing book can be expected. Iusi gluing away the time The editorial stuff editorializing The Big Three Capitoline ln addition to assisting in the financing of the Capitoline, the Student Directory is published as a subsidiary of the year book. lt has proved its worth to both students and faculty members by providing an alpha- betized list of all Springfield High! School students, faculty, and office personnel along with addresses and telephone numbers. The book is now a completed product. We hope our efforts have not been in vain and that it Will always help you to remember your high school days.

Marylou Toigo Yearlings Learn Capitoline Production The members of the Iunior Capitoline Staff are those students interested in the writing and publication of the annual. Throughout the course of the year they have heard various talks on the publica- tion of a yearbook from the printer, en- gravers, adviser, the editorial staff and other members of the Senior Capfitoline Staff. Consequently, by the time they are ready to take their positions on the senior staff, they know a great deal about the problems involved in publishing an annual. Besides preparing themselves for their fu- ture positions, the Iunior Capitoline Staff as- sisted the Business Staff by selling acknowl- edgments and books to business firms and individuals outside of the school. They succeeded in going Well over their planned quota. Regular meetings, which were conducted solely by the elected officers as in other school organizations, were held every two weeks. To be on the lunior Capitoline Staff, a student must show special interest in this kind of Work and must carry an average of C in all subjects. All students on the junior staff do not necessarily have to be on the senior staff. During the course of their junior year, their special abilities are sought out so that at the end of the year they can be put in the position most suitable to them. They may choose their position, but it must be submit- ted to a vote of the faculty, adviser, and the former staff to insure having a sound and responsible group to carry on next year's work.

As in all similar occasions, we pushed pennies with our noses in races sponsored by our heartless elders: lugged books up and down stairs: became the laughing stocks of friends, as well as enemies, by appear- ing in numerous multi-colored hair-ribboned pigtails, lndian warpaint, drooped stockings, plaid-and-striped ensembles, fascinating ex- changes of shoes, socks, etc. We carried eggs which were to be autographed but not broken: and of course wore the required collar, blue hair ribbon, blue and white stockings. But always we smiled. We were given a picnic at the end of our initiation at which each pledge presented her own skit. We were then fed heartily fsome might call it stuffed? till we could eat no more. But the real event was the formal initiation at which we were accepted into the society by the Chairman of the Senior Les Bas.

Iudging from the results, We can look for some oi the girls to become the lawyers, doctors, etc. ot the iuture. The annual Christmas tea, at which the Philos entertained their mothers, Will long be remembered by both the members and their guests. Consisting of Christmas read- ings and carols by the Philo Choral Group, this meeting was one of the most impressive of all meetings. Other meetings of special interest to the Philos Were the Annual Alumnae Banquet and the Senior Picnic. ln seeking to promote a closer relation- ship between the two girls clubs ot S.H.S., joint meetings were again held with the Les Eighty-six 'FIRST ROW: Shaw, Iuanita, Drennan, Harriet, Comstock, Ferne, Gerber, Dorothy, Schafer, Peggy, Smith, Shirley, l.

The Les Bas entertained at the Executive Mansion while the Philos, with an all musical program, presented theirs at the school. These meetings helped to get better acquainted and form lasting friendship. The Philo dances, always the outstanding events of the year, were again very suc- cessful. Their mid-year dance, The Cupid Capers, appropriately carried out the Val- entine motif while the Philo Alumnae Form- al, with its miniature diplomas, furnished the perfect climax for the school year-and graduation night. Again this year the Philos made generous donations for charitable purposes including the Red Cross. At Christmas time, the girls, remembering others less fortunate than they, generously contributed to the Family Welfare Philos Association. lt was later learned that through these contributions an unfortunate family had a happier Christmas than they otherwise would have had. Finally, the Philo year was rounded out with varied musical and literary programs to make it one of the best in Philo history. 'k OFFICERS President ....... ..........................

They immediately adopted a program which called for plenty of action and activities, with the sole purpose of laying the Wrang' lers in the shade , and they did just that by giving the first school da:nce of the year followed by other outstanding activities. The Delphics sprouted forth with an orig- inal idea which soon was the envy of all the other clubs. All members Wore White shirts with the name Delphic written in blue over the pocket along with a blue tie. This proved to be a great success not only in dis- tinguishing the Delphic Club from other or- ganizations, but also set an example of neatness for the Whole school to follow. ln the tug-of-War contest held for the first time the Delphics trounced the Wrang- lers.

Smart Blouses Distinguish Councilettes For the first time in several years the Council was satisfied with the constitution that was left to them. Since the constitution was new last year, the Council decided to try it for a change. This year the Council was composed of twenty-four freshmen and sophomores and the upperclassmen were represented by an equal number. Under the terms of the con- stitution the study halls were represented by two members from each period. OFFICERS lst Semester President .............. Dick MacWherter Vice-President ......

This proved to be a great success as it offered an opportunity for boys to play in cr tournament where the compe- tition was very keen. Other outstanding work accomplished by the Council was the sale of war bonds and Congratulations, Mr. President stamps in the lower hall Calong with the above mentioned War Bond Auctionl and the collecting of donations in study halls for the Bed Cross which, incidentally, broke all previous records. Council members worked silently, effi- ciently, and always.

Advanced Orchestra Features Under the able direction of Clarence Sauer, the Advanced Orchestra enjoyed an- other successful season in the 1944-45 school year. One hour was spent each day in re- hearsals Which added to the pleasure of the personnel. These rehearsals were also en- joyed by the rest of the school. 5 cite! As usual two concerts were presented- one in the Winter and one in the spring- which were huge successes. Although it was not possible for the entire orchestra to play for graduations and the recognition assembly, a picked group of musicians dis- played their talents. The Preparatory Orchestra, which is a group composed of students not yet ready to play in Advanced, is used as a stepping- stone to the advanced group. .

The A Cappella choir offers a world of experience to those students interested in singing. They not only receive instruction on correct singing, but also learn to cooperate harmoniously with their fellow choir members. P59509 K9 The choir has been active throughout the entire year. lt has furnished music for the Christmas, V-E Day, and F. D. Roosevelt Memorial assemblies. The choir also made an exciting trip to Rochester, Illinois, to appear before the P. T. A. This year the repertoire of the choir included both popular and classical music. ln Iune, the choir bade a fond farewell to Direc- tor Teach Lundgren. After seventeen years with the choir, Mr. Lundgren resigned this spring, The choir will miss Teach , but it will carry through the ACappella traditions and strive for further success. Ninety-eight ...Nonet Presents Novelty Program The Nonet, organized during the season ot 1943-44, has recently com- pleted another successful season. Continuing its policy as good-will ambassador of our school, the group of five girls and tive boys have appeared in public over thirty-tive times. Responding to continual requests for music of a more popular nature, Mr. E. Carl Lundgren, the director, has coached the young people in singing more musical comedy, light opera, and popular music. Their repertoire, however, still includes a measure ot more classical music to round out a balanced program. An innovation this year, the intro- duction of novelty numbers with various props, added to the color of their performances. The crowded season included ap- pearances before the student body, many of the civic clubs, various meetings, and a number of out-of- town audiences. Next year's Nonet, already being assembled, will continue' its work, but without the valuable guidance and training of their teacher, Mr. E. Carl Lundgren, Whose energy and direction steered the group to its success. Mr. Lungren resigned this spring. FIRST ROWY Vaughan, Virginia: Tomlin, Patricia.

The band adopted a program this year of playing at least once for every grade school in the Springfield High School district. The programs were given during the sixth period at the grade school. This proved to be quite successful because of the valuable experience gained by the band, the en- tertainment it provided for the grade school students, and for the interest and desire to join the band it aroused in many of the yearlings. Among the other occasions the band played for were Governor Green's Christmas party, the War Bond Parade, and a fathers' night celebration. Of course, our football games wouldn't be football games without the band providing entertainment with snappy marching, novel arrangements, orig- inal formation, and their greatly admired conga.

As usual, the girls predomi- nated over the boys placing 33 girls as members to 13 boys. Scholarship is the principal basis for membership in the National Honor Society. However, other fac- tors are also taken into considera- tiony these include character and the qualities of leadship shown by the individual. To become eligible a student must maintain a general average of B during the entire four years and the equivalent of four A's and two B's as semester averages in at least one major subject. li a trans- fer from another school, he must have been enrolled at Springfield High School for at least one full year. While a great deal of midnight oil was probably burned in order to maintain the honor grades, these students can now proudly point to their reward-membership in the National Honor Society! One Hundred Two Cheerleaders Springfield had quite a successful year in athletics this season and much of the credit goes to the cheer- leaders. They took their jobs seriously and kept up the support of the student body when the team was either at the depths of defeat or the height of glory. Quite a novelty was added this year by lane Miles who thrilled the cheerers by doing the splits at the end of the yells. Bus Drytoose and Don Miller, the male duet of the cheerleaders rostrum, literally brought down the house with their clever gestures and corny gags. This group demonstrated what cooperation would accomplish and obtained results that any tan, coach or team Would be proud of. Mierley and Dolores, both newcomers, did a swell job out there and proved themselves Willing Workers. This was Pat's second year as an S.l-l.S. cheerleader. Her enthusiasm aroused many a cheer in both defeat and Victory. J : :, E .5 : J-, A Q ' -1 ' 5. . , in g . ui-if Lf t --4 J f 4 nf 'sf 1tlf ' nm!!

One Hundred Five Clyde McQueen William Roelliq lesse Sanders Charles Peielish Springfield High School is very fortunate in having a crew of men who work to- gether so harmoniously in producing victorious athletic teams and who are individu- ally the cream of the athletic coaches in their respective sports. To Bill Roellig, the ace of all football coaches, Big Twelve football conference champ- ionships are common. Al- though his teams have not won this honor for a few years he has the best record of any coach in the state. Cheers to the new addition to our coaching staff-Clyde McQueen. As assistant foot- ball coach, he was able to build players into what other schools thought were Spring- field Supermen. From there he took over the job as head track coach, where he devel- oped a track team with a most enviable record. lesse Sanders, athletic bus- iness manager, has probably one of the most difficult jobs in the department. lt is his responsibility to handle the finances, take care of the crowds, and look after the purchase of football equip- ment. Charles Petefish deserves a large percentage of the glory gained by the other two foot- ball coaches as well as what he earns on his own behalf. Pete trains freshmen in the fundamentals of football.

Red and Black HM BRAMLET Guard lim started all but the opening contest at one of the guard positions. His play bolstered our line considerably. DICK DAYKIN Center Dick was truly an outstanding lineman in this, his junior year. His outstanding effort came in the important Decatur game. At all times he was one of our toughest defense bulwarks. BOB COLE Center Bob should press Daylcin and Cobb for the first and second string posts next season. ADAM NELCH Guard Adam started all our contests and added greatly to our de tensive power. He was at his best in that torrid Lincoln con test. HEIDEMAN WIESENMEYER BRAMLET DAYKIN' COLE NELCH Gridiron Stars RAY TROXELL Back Ray is almost sure to inherit a first string backfield post next year after two years as a re- serve. GEORGE SMITH Left Halfback George, another senior, scored what proved to be the winning touchdown in that important Decatur contest. He usually could be counted on for needed yardage. LARRY CHARLSON Quarterback Larry did a fine job for the team at his quarterback post, He did his outstanding work in that 20-18 Lincoln victory. HM F INN Line Although Iim didn't see much action this year, he gained valuable experience which should enable him to gain a berth on next year's squad. Iim was the only freshman to win a varsity football letter. DON HEIDEMANN Right End Don, another junior, played regular in many of our con- tests. He played his toughest football in that victory over Lincoln. TROXELL SMITH FRED WEISENMEYER Right Halibcxck Fred's extra points won the Pekin game and his touchdown was an important factor in the Decatur victory. Fred is an- other junior who will benefit the team greatly next year.

ROLAND ASHTON Left Guard Popeye , a junior, played bang-up ball for S,H.S. all sea- son and received due reward. He was selected on the Big Twelve and All City first teams. CHARLES LEE Tackle Charlie, a senior, played a regular tackle for the Red and Black. He played his best game in the last tussle of the season with Pekin. MAX SHERMAN Max, a senior, did his outstand- ing work of the season in the Lanphier game, which he won for the Red and Black when he snagged a pass from Weisen- meyer in the first quarter and trotted over for the only score of the contest. Herb Price and Al Westburg Yea Red, Yea 1B1clck CLIFFORD KURRUS End Cliff's huge hands make him an excellent target for pass tossers. He will surely gradu- ate from the third string post he held this season. GENE ESTES End Estes starred in the Central de- feat when he grabbed a 30 yard Slack pass and galloped over from the 20 yard marker for one of the Red and Black's two scores. Gene is a senior. IERRY SLACK Fullback Although Slack starred in many contests, the Lincoln and Pekin games probably showed him at his best, counting three touch- downs in each.

Hardwood Stars Carry Springfield Colors to State Tournament The Red and Black were upset by Quincy's Blue Devils in their first game at the State 46-38. Our boys were never ahead but at one time in the third quarter pulled up within one point of the hot shooting Quincy crew. The first frame saw the Solons trailing 16-8 while the second ended at 23-l8 after the locals had made a come- back at the hoop. Coach Peterman jerked his starters in this period to give them a rest and also some dope on Quincy's play. The re- serves more than held their own. The third stanza Was fought on even terms, ending at 32-28 after Springfield had pulled up to a mere 29- 28 deficit at one time late in the canto. The Blue Devils were hot in the final frame again dominating the play. S.H.S. lost the contest on their failure to make rebounds, sometimes missing as many as four in a single action under the basket. Their tabulation was four- teen baskets out of sixty-eight tries from the field and only ten of twenty-eight foul throws. Chambers paced the attack with ten tallies.

In the next two seasons he will certainly make first string. IERRY SLACK Forward Ierry, a senior, won honorable mention at forward in all Big Twelve selections made by United Press. He ranked third in scor- ing on the Red and Black and was especial- ly hot in tournament play. GENE ESTES Guard Gene stood second in total season scoring with 209 points.

Track Stars Set Pace THEY FLOAT THROUGH THE AIR DRYSDALE FINISHES FIRST ESMOND TAKES THE LEAD Springfield thinclads came out of a full schedule of meets with a high- ly respectable record this season. Out of eight varsity meets partici- pated in, the Red and Black walked off with four team first places, two third places, and a fifth place. They failed to count points at the state meet where they were represented by Ierry Slack in the low hurdles and an excellent relay team of Weisenmeyer, Phillips, Esmond, and Slack. The first meet on the regular schedule, the class meet, saw the Juniors beating out the Sophomores for honors 63 to 48 while the Seniors ranked third. Next our trackmen far outdistanced Virden, Taylorville, and Lanphier in a quadrangular meet by counting 82 points. A triangular meet with Virden and Girard saw our boys triumphant again with 63 2K3 points. ln a dual contest with l.S.D. the Solons amassed a top- heavy score of 81 points. The City Meet was also recorded in our vic- tory column as our thinclads snagged 84 U3 points. S.H.S. was nosed out of second in the Lincoln Relays by U6 of a point despite their lack of numbers. ln the Dis- trict Meet at Taylorville Ierry Slack broke the low hurdle record and our relay team set a new mark in that event as we copped third place. Slack again ran the low hurdles in record time as Springfield took fifth place in the Big Twelve Meet at Peoria to- end its season. Clyde Mc- Queen must be commended for an One Hundred Sixteen for City and District Meets excellent coaching job in his first year at the post here. The Freshmen-Sophomore team also enjoyed a successful season, winning a dual meet with Lincoln, and finishing second to that team by a margin of U2 point in the Lincoln Relays. The potentialities ot these lower classmen can be realized by their showing in the Class Meet as well as these contests. The Frosh-Soph relayers set a new mark in that event at the Big Twelve Meet to serve warning that we will continue to have a toptlight relay threat. Our Freshmen team also captured city honors with Mr. Pete- fish as their mentor.

Springfield High School, however, has not decreased its athletic training but has increased its volume and effectiveness. A policy adopted several years ago was to in- crease the required amount of credit in gymnasium for eligibility to graduate until all students took at least one hour of gym every Week. This program Was fully carried out so that now all students, re- gardless of the number of study halls, courses being taken, or the amount of outside activities, must take two or three hours of gym per Week. 1 ln order to overcome the lack of transportation and to take the place of inter-school competition, inter-class meets have been introduced. These meets met With the most success in track. As a result of this emphasis on physical educa- tion, Springfield High School athletes have excelled in all sports and have made the percentage of boys of our school in the service one of the highest.

One Hundred Forty-five Zvgifofch aged Cyfffrcffl Again the month of lune has rolled around, and although this means spring formals, the lune prom, spooners on the loose, and final exams staring us in the face, it also means the time has come for us to place the annual in your hands. To do this has meant nearly a full year of hard labor on the part of some fifty persons including the staff, engravers, printers, photographers and cover concern. lt has taken a large number of persons a long time to plan and assemble this book which by this time you have already scanned. First of all, I Want to thank the score of students who so graciously gave me their help in making this a book of your memories: the Art Editors for the beautiful art Workp the Business Staff Who handled the business end to perfection, going Well over the planned quota, and many others from both the Iunior and Senior classes who so willingly gave their time and help in compiling this book. That is all-it has been Well Worth the time spent. Here's hoping you like it. Irving Morgan.
