Hence, we are using the circus as a pattern on which to constructthe record of the past year in high school. With this in mind let us step inside the big -tent and review the many attractions which are in store for us. l,,,.,lo.,clxx x.-.,.. 559'- 1.l f Lvuk ICM VVL Icbuv ii g ' Q ,A .K V, ??

The individuals pictured on these pages were elected by the Senior Class by popular ballot. During their four years in high school they have shown abilities as indicated by their titles. We sincerely hope that before the great accom- plishments they achieved here at S.l-l.S. have had a chance to fade into the forgotten past, these and many other stars of our great show will have risen to responsible positions in the great world be- fore us.

During the summer he had prepared a smooth- working schedule of classes. Each student and faculty member knew exactly what program he was to fol- low from the opening day of school. It soon became apparent to stu- dents as well as faculty that Mr. Davis was determined that nothing would be allowed to interfere with the important work of the class- room. Assemblies were held to a minimum, and only offered when a worthwhile program had been pre- pared. An innovation this year was the practice of having sectional faculty meetings during the instructors preparation period. This did not dis- turb classes but brought teachers together in small informal groups for discussion of vital educational policies. Mr. Davis has not only encour- aged students to do good work and continue the enviable scholastic achievements of former graduates, but also has insisted that classroom procedure be modernized to keep pace with the growing needs of the boys and girls who attend SHS. Under the capable leadership of Mr. Davis, the students of Spring- field High School can look forward to many more highly successful years. LYMAN K. DAVIS PRINCIPAL ROY A. WENTZ ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL All of the students at SHS come into contact with Mr. Wentz at some time during their high school days. Whether this contact is strictly for discipline or for friendly re- lations makes no difference to Daddy, for he can solve all prob- lems and still manage to command the respect of the student body. Mr. Wentz has been handling the job of assistant principal for a num- ber of years. During this period the school has earned a fine repu- tation for good student conduct in assemblies and on the campus. With Mr. Wentz remaining in this capacity, it is merely a formal- ity to say this fine record shall continue in the future. Nineteen GWIN AND PETEFISH - DEANS OF BOYS vidual problems and supervise the work of the study hall.. The counselors build an accumulative record of each students progress from grade school through high school. These records are kept on tile for later use as char- acter references. Many recommendations and refer- ences for colleges and jobs are written by the counselor. Through the study hall school publications are sold, dona- tions are taken and announcements are made. Besides the general activity of the study hall, the counselors also act as chaperons for dances and notify stu- dents when jobs are available. lt is very easy to see that the study hall counselors make up an integral part of our school. irst .

With the school divided into four units this system gives the student the advantage ot a small school and allows him to be with one counselor for tour years and thus ob- tain the advantages that would come from counseling with someone who knows the students' record and needs. The girls have two study halls under the supervision of Miss Lomelino and Miss Hager and the boys have two study halls under Mr. Gwin and Mr. Pete- fish. The counselors help to plan out the student's program, so that he will have the necessary credits to graduate.

These three important persons plan most of the programs of some six- teen hundred students. The two boys' study centers are directly supervised by Mr. Gwin and Mr. Petefish. Besides the main problem of making out pro- grams to please each student, the deans secure information concerning the requirements for the different col- leges and give all examinations which are required by certain colleges for en- trance. The deans also assist students with their individual problems and con- NO'S WATCH FUL EYE Twenty-one MISS DOROTHY BUNDY - DEAN OF GIRLS tact parents if a conference is neces- sary. Miss Bundy does not act as a study hall supervisor, but has numerous other duties. She is administrative assistant and co-ordinator of student activities. Under these large titles come such work as arranging for college days, P.T.A. programs, and being advisor for the Student Council as well as helping with class activities. The deans of boys also have some outside work in activities, with Mr. Petefish taking charge of the Rifle Club and Mr. Gwin piloting the Del- phics. Without these three very important individuals, the running of SHS would be difficult. Miss Hager Miss Lomelino TCgiar1aCIStaE Eizvgrl- Northwestern University, . .5 oum ia - .

NURSE AND CAFETERIA DI RECTRESS If you have ever become ill or hurt your- self, you have met Miss Southwick, the school nurse. She is always on hand to end your pains and sympathize with you. Each year Miss Southwick gives eye tests and stresses the importance of preventing dis- ease. Through her efforts the school has made use of the tubercular skin tests. The person responsible for the nutritious meals served in the school cafeteria is Miss Dev- lin, head of the cafeteria staff. The meals, besides being well planned, are low priced because of the help of the federal and state funds. Miss Aurelius Miss Robb Clerk Attendance Clerk Miss Devlin Cafeteria Directress THE STUDENT OFFICE IS ALWAYS BUSY lilllllilll STUDENT OFFICE Maybe they can tell you in room 2 is one of the most familiar phrases around SHS. It is in this office that all student needs and problems are taken care of by those two busy ladies, Miss Aurelius and Miss Robb. Miss Robb has charge of all attendance. It is she who checks all ex- cuses and sends out cut slips to those people who thought they wouldn't be missed. Miss Aurelius helps plan the schedule of classes for each semester and handles the candy counter. Between them they do the coun- ter work consisting of lost and found, tele- phoning, and tickets. When the nurse is not at school, they even bind up cuts and administer aspirin for headaches. The school post office system works through this office. The slips announcing meetings and request- ing services are delivered by office assistants each period. NURSE ARRIVES FOR DUTY Dorothy Southwick, R.N. Nurse Twenty-two Elllllii MAIN OFFICE Upstairs in the pleasant main office are Miss Atkins and Miss Davis, SHS's two sec- retaries. It is Miss Atkin's duty to super- vise book rentals, grade transcripts to col- leges, records of credits, summer school and diplomas. ln other words, Miss Atkins is the custodian to all the records that are kept by our school. Her partner, Miss Davis, handles all cor- respondence for the school besides making faculty appointments, renting the auditorium, and welcoming visitors. The main office also houses the teachers' mail boxes and bulletin board and the clock which con- trols the bells. So in spite of the fact that we as stu- dents donit come in direct contact with the main office very often, it is easy to see that a great amount of very important business is transacted there. OUR GENIAL LIBRARIAN OUR EFFICIENT MAIN OFFICE FORCE Marguerite L. Zimmermann Librarian Twenty- three LIBRARIAN The capable and friendly person who greets you as you enter the school library is none other than Miss Zimmermann. Her job is to try to make the school conscious of its library, show the students how to use it, and have the material most wanted at hand. At present Miss Zimmermann is en- larging the biographical, travel and fiction book section. Also this year she has added a vocational file to the many other helpful features of the library. Although the job of librarian is a busy one, Miss Zimmermann took time out to present the entertaining program that was given at Christmas time.

Their activities include vigorous exercises and posture adjustments. The competition between classes in the winter kick-ball and spring volley-ball tournaments often become spirited.

In spite of their size, they always showed an extraor- dinary amount of school spirit and class interest. The mid-year graduates had their share of athletes, leaders, and scholars. Nine members of the class were honored by acceptance in the National Honor Society. Obviously the most outstanding accomplishment of this class was their highly successful class play. This was the first time in the history of the school that a mid-year graduating class staged a class play.

The June grads have worked diligently and successfully in scholarship, sports, and general school activities. The gratifying number of National Honor Society members from this class proves scholastic ability. Many of the boys have been definite assets to successful SHS teams. The school activities, such as the class play, speak for themselves as decisive accomplishments. What is perhaps even more gratifying is the fact that the girls as well as the boys have joined in so energetically to make the accomplishments of their class remain as a standard for following classes. For the first time in the history of SHS all class offices were taken over by girls. These officers with the cooperation of their class have now completed their last successful year of high school. To the entire group of two hundred and thirty-seven June grads, we wish the best of luck and the same endless success that they have experienced here at SHS.

Their energies and talent have been devoted to the time when they must accept the full responsibilities of their Senior year, as well as.the responsibilities of manhood or womanhood. They are now on the threshold of their final year of high school, and soon will take up the reins of student government, thus setting the example for the underclassmen. Continued maintenance of a high scholastic stand- ing and participation in the school's athletic and so- cial functions, have made these Juniors capable and eager to meet the coming year successfully.

SOPHOMORE PRESIDENT Harry Sinclair VICE PRESIDENT Joe Cavanagh SECRETARY Alice Robinson TREASURER Ann Lanphier Listen my children and ye shall hear of the most wonderful class in many a year. Under that benev- olent sun which never sets on the widely scattered alumni of Springfield High School, there is nothing so conspiculously insignificant as the Sophomore Class. There are no longer any traces of the first year braggadocio. They have discarded the unknowing impetuousness of freshmen youth. Instead, they are preparing to tell the world-and a credulous faculty- that the class of'5O will be a paragon of virtuous at- tainment as seniors. In fact the past year's record would indicate that there is some basis for such a boast.

FRESHMEN PRESIDENT Richard Triebel VICE PRESIDENT Robert Lubin SECRETARY JoAnne Schien TREASURER Katherine Gibbs Among the ranks of the large student body of Springfield High is a group of young students who have taken more of a beating from upperclassmen during the last nine months than any other group. Everyone knows the group as the cooties -those still dreamy-eyed newcomers who are more politely called Freshmen. Even though the first couple of weeks proved to be hectic, and the life at SHS was new, the freshies still managed to push forward and gain laurels in the line of athletics, scholarship, and yes, even social functions. There are many big times yet to come to the class of '52 before they don those caps and gowns. But with so many outstanding personalities the freshmen of this year will prove to be another highly successful group of grads when that great day comes in 1952.

Eighty-three STAFF SPENDS NINE MONTHS PREPAR NI THE CAPITOLINE STAFF The Capltoline is now completed and in your hands. Now the Staff can rest in peace and recover from the tremendous task of recording all the historic events of Springfield High School for the year I947-I 948. The Staff started its work early in the school year by choosing the theme of the book. To start our publicity campaign the Capitoline Staff presented an assembly based on our circus theme. Through the EDITORIAL STAFF - - - HINES SCHLIPF hard work of the publicity editor and the business managers the cam- paign was a success. Soon after the campaign the freshman, sophomore and junior editors were busy with picture appointments. Then the time came for senior pictures. All during this time the sports editor and snapshot editor kept bringing in more and more material. Of course, the assistant editors were busy with write-ups and the Editor in Chief was busier than anyone else keeping us busy. Mr. Furry, our BUSINESS STAFF . . . . . .

This book has taken up most of our time during our senior year, but we have accomplished a great deal to make this year's Capitoline a bigger and better book! Besides the many usual attractions that are found in the year book we have added a few more. Many of the members of the faculty agreed to have new pictures taken this year.

Most of the members of the Staff were taken from last year's Junior Capitoline Staff. The Junior Staff publishes yearly as a subsidiary of the Capitoline, the Student Direc tory. By compiling this popular publication the students gain valu able experience for their future Capitoline work.

PHYLLIS BLACK DIRECTORY STAFF BIG-WIGS Eighty-six The Junior Capitoline Staff is a hard-working group of Juniors, who are interested in learning the business of publishing our school yearbook. Next year, it will be this staff who will be in charge of the Capitoline pub- lication. Every week meetings are held and the Juniors discuss some important phase of the publishing business. Some- times Seniors speak at these meetings, and discuss what their job is on the Senior Capitoline Staff. In this way the Juniors learn something about the qualifications and duties of a student on the Senior Staff. Besides learning what next year's work will be, the Juniors also sell the advertisements for the ever popular student directory, thus making its publication possible. The Juniors' help to the Senior Staff in staging the annual Capitoline assembly and in selling the acknowl- edgments for the yearbook, made it possible for the Senior Staff to give all of its time to this year's Capito- line. Because of the tremendous amount of help this group gives the Senior Staff, it is evident that the Senior Staff would have a difficult task without the assistance of the Juniors.

Hail to the long suffering pledges! Those girls wear- ing the big blue hair ribbons and pushing pennies with their noses are potential Les Bas Bleus members. The junior group of Les Bas Bleus was established a few years ago to accommodate the large number of girls who desired to join this popular club. ln order to be- come a member of Junior Les Bas, a girl must be at least a lOl in standing and have a 3.5 grade average. A goal of lOO points earned from participation in vari- ous club activities must be reached to enter Senior Les Bas. The group had a very active year filled with such out- standing activities as the Mothers' Tea and the party for the senior division. Under the capable direction of Miss Neblick and Miss Zimmermann there were many inter- esting programs composed of musical discussions on various topics, The Junior Les Bas Bleus contributed generously to many welfare organizations, thus helping the less fortu- nate. They helped to make the Christmas and Spring Les Bas dances great successes with their work and en- thusiasm which so characterized their fine year. tinghaus, Doris Kolmer, Donna Murrell, Betty Nelson, Norma Switzer, Carol Wood, Joanne OFFICERS i SEMESTER ii SEMESTER Evalyn Campbell . . . .

This year's excel- lent social and welfare record is proof of this. Under the fine direction of their adviser Miss Wilson, who is a former Les Bas mem- ber, an interesting program was planned with the spotlight focused on the fall and spring picnics, the parties entertaining the Junior Les Bas Bleus and the Philos, and the Mothers' Tea. A style show was presented, showing the latest fashions in informal and formal at- tire. The meetings displayed variety and uniqueness with themes ranging from music to beauty hints.

OF CHRISTMAS SEASON ' 0 v The Christmas dance, The Holly Hop, held in the Armory, was an outstanding event of the Christmas season. Proceeds from this dance were given to the Vachel Lindsay Asso- ciation to help further their work. Another dance held in the Spring proved to be equally successful. The two dances were well at- tended by the students. Both the Springfield Friendship Train and the Red Cross received generous contributions. The objective of promoting leadership and a sense of responsibility was well met through each club member's efforts and cooperation.

This year the Philos have mixed successfully the edu- cational phases ofschool life with the more social aspects. They began the year the Sunday before school started with a garden party in honor of all sophomore girls This party gave the prospective pledges a chance to meet the active members outside of school. The results were a fine group of pledges who took the abuses of their big sis- ters', with a smile. The Philos met every other Tuesday, and were pro- vided with varied programs. On the educational side the girls were presented with a book review of a current novel and an instructive talk on diamonds by one of Springfield's leading jewelers. Each Philo also took a vocational test which told her where her interests lay and gave a choice of occupations in accordance with these interests. Along the entertainment line were the joint meetings with the Les Basg each club acting as hostess. Also out- standing on the year's calendar was the Mother's Tea at MlSSAil5i5:clNG Christmas time.

The annual alumnae banquet was held again this year, giving the old members a chance to hear what the active club was doing. Ot course, Philo's dances were among the most suc- cessful of the year. In February at The Gibson Girl Dance the girls' gym was decorated with one of the most clever themes seen in a long time. The Philo graduation dance was the perfect climax to the excite- ment of commencement exercises. Philos gave generously to charity during the yearg donating to the Community Chest and the Friendship Train. They also provided a needy family with Christ- mas dinner. Miss Inez Gieseking had the full cooperation and respect of the club in accomplishing her very successful job as the guiding hand of Philos. Ninety-one WELCOME f 4 5,11 I 'J 3 T f ' -- -ff-6 ..

This very popular event was soon fol- lowed by a football homecoming dance- The Gridiron Hobblef' As the Christmas season and its whirl of dances came along, the Wranglers gave one of the first and finest dances of the Yuletide season. The Christmas dance was very heavily attended and thoroughly enjoyed by all. At the end of the first semester the an- Ninety-two OFFICERS SECOND SEMESTER President ............

During the second semester the club ener- getically entered into another host of activi- ties, starting off with the Wrangler-Delphic Dance, which was soon followed by the Bas- ketball Banquet. Of course the next social activity of the Wranglers is a very famous affair around SHS. That is the Barn Dance, which was truly one of the greatest social highlights of the season. And as the semester came to a close, the Wranglers climaxed their very active school year with their annual Father and Son ban- quet, at which time the officers for the ensu- ing year were selected.

SHAMROCK SHUFFLE AND LUCKY Striving for greater service to SHS and the city of Springfield, the Delphic Literary Society has just finished a most Successful year. Beginning with a lively group of pledges, they joined in pledge week activities with plenty of vigor. The pledge hayrack ride was held at the close of pledge work to give the poor sophomores a rest from their tortures. An outstanding service rendered to the school by the Delphics was the sponsorship of the Lucky Number programs at the football games and some basketball tilts. ln November, the Cornstalk Splinter, although oddly named, was one of the best attended dances of the year. The club also donated generously to the Friendship Train campaign, thus showing starving Europe its fine spirit. Ninety-four OFFICERS SECOND SEMESTER President ...........

NUMBERS BRING DELPHICS FAME The Delphics and Wranglers dropped their friendly rivalry long enough to cooperate in presenting the Basket Ball, which was a fitting celebration for our victory over Decatur. Janet Schuck reigned royally as Miss Shamrock when the Delphics presented their seventh annual Shamrock Shuffle. The dance was heralded by an intense publicity campaign, which included dropping advertising leaflets from an airplane. , Of course, as customary, the Delphics held their ama- teur show. Talent from the student body entertained during the assembly, with an award for the winner. The year closed with the Spring banquet at which the new officers were elected. Mr. Gwin was the well-liked Delphic adviser.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, always one of the outstanding organizations in Springfield High School, has every reason to be proud of a most successful year. The social season was launched by the Council's dance, Cactus Capers, attractively planned around a Mexican theme. ln order to introduce both new and old students, Howdy Day was sponsored. The highlight of the day was a party held in the gym as a freshmen mixer. The Council worked hard to set up the Inter-School Student Council and still hopes an organization such as this can someday be established. Many of the Council members attended the Pekin Dis- trict Conference, which took place at Macomb. Those who made the trip found it highly profitable since so many excellent ideas were acquired from members of other councils present. Under the very capable leadership of the advisers, Miss Bundy and Mr. McQueen, the twenty-six Student Council members have worked hard towards making this year one of the best in the Council's history.

MODERN LANGUAGE CLUB The Modern Language Club is an organization for both French and Spanish students. The purpose of this organization is to promote fellowship between the two groups and io practice speaking and understanding mod- ern languages. The club has had many interesting programs this year. At Christmas time the members celebrated in Spanish style with a pinata. Both Spanish and French plays have been given and a cookie sale was held. The Modern Language Club has accomplished a great deal under the supervision of Miss Ronca and Miss Mathews. To be eligible to join the Modern Language Club one must be a member or a former member of either a Span- ish or French class and have a 3. average in all academic subjects.

Each member carries on farm proj- ects and keeps records. Sports, also, have their place with the F.F.A. They have a fine softball team. By enrolling in Vocational Agriculture a boy is eligible for membership in the F.F.A. Mr. Armstrong, the adviser, is to be commended for the fine job of organizing the4SHS Chap- ter and making it such an outstanding success. Students who finish the course are prepared to enter the agricultural world as farmers or in national service as leaders of Farm Bureaus, Farm Unions and many other community en- terprises where their leadership will be needed. One Hundred RIFLE CLUB GETS This year saw the birth of a new organiza- tion here at SHS, that has already made great strides towards being one of the leading school clubs. This group is of course the Rifle Club which was started last Fall. The boys get to- gether every Tuesday night at the YMCA rifle range where they conduct a short business meeting under the supervision of Mr. Petefish, faculty adviser. Then they spend the rest of the evening practicing on the range under the watchful eyes of Mr. Howard Diller, instructor. This year's group, which is made up exclu- sively of members of The National Rifle Asso- ciation, plans to recruit more boys and con- tinue with the fine training program they have so successfully undertaken this year.

By changing the editorship of each issue all students gain the experience of being the chief and the satisfaction of putting their thoughts and ideas into words for others to read. While a writer cannot be made by a school course, the experience does tend to de- velop a keener intellect and a better under- standing of school affairs. The out-going staff thoroughly enjoyed their work and associations and feel sure that the new group will ably carry on, and that The Senator will grow in interest and popularity in the year ahead.

Year after year the Springfield High School Band has been one of the best playing, best marching high school bands in the state. The band played host for the first assembly of this year and was on hand to inspire the players and spectators at both football and basketball games. While stirring our teams toward victory, the band often scored a victory it- self. Such was the case when it thoroughly captivated the crowd in Decatur with its ever popular conga. Although the band as a whole did not enter the District Contest, a clarinet trio, brass sextet, cornet trio and a sax quartet were winners in the district meet and went to the state contest at Peoria Central High School. The climax of this successful year was the annual formal concert which was given late in May.

The orchestra is an organization which Spring- field High School can hold in well-deserved high esteem. The eighty-five piece group presents two concerts a year, one in the winter and one again in the spring. Their success and popu- larity justified the large attendance at each of these performances. The student body enjoyed the assembly presented by the or- chestra in February. The program included numbers that appealed to the individual taste of each listener, thereby furthering en- joyment. NORMA LITTLE DORIS BIVIN PAT MICHELMAN The orchestra's activities are not neces- sarily confined to Springfield alone. ln February a selected group attended a three- day String Conference at the University of Illinois which proved to be a challenge and thrilling experience to those who went. In the Spring a similar group attended the Big Twelve Music Festival conducted at Cham- paign. April IO found the entire orchestra assembled for the District Contest at Peters- burg, the entry of which was a new adven- ture for the musicians. The orchestra has completed a highly suc- cessful and satisfying year under their capa- ble director, Mr. Constantine Johns. The enthusiasm and cooperation of both the stu- dents and their instructor have resulted in a fine active calendar.

On e Hundred E ight ENSEMBLE MAKES SUCCESSFUL DEBUT EIN bis' -- Y, ,. . . 0 Making its successful debut in the field of music this year, the newly organized Ensemble has already proved to be a valuable asset to both the Springfield High School music department and the city of Springfield. The group was created to represent the orchestra be- fore the more select audiences where it would be im- possible for the entire body to play. All members of the Ensemble are members of the Springfield High School Orchestra, and four are also members of the Springfield Symphony Orchestra. Since actions speak louder than words, let us look over the accomplishments of this very active group. The Ensemble played before the Optimists Club, the Lincoln-Douglas Association for teachers at the Y.W.C.A,, at the Governor's Mansion for the Daughters of the Nile, for a grade schoool P.T.A. meeting, and several times for the P.T.A. of Springfield High School. Two special events were also on the agenda. First, the Ensemble went to a State High School String Instru- ment Clinic at Champaign. While there the members played in an orchestra of over one hundred high school students from all over the state. Dr. Joseph E, Maddy, director of music at Camp lnterlochen in Michigan, di- rected this orchestra. The ensemble also gave an indi- vidual demonstration for the Clinic. About a month after their trip to Champaign, the Ensemble traveled to Petersburg to take part in the District Contest. This brought to a close the first highly successful year of the Ensemble of SHS.

One of the biggest and most exciting events that the choir participated in was the Big l2 Festival which is held each year. This year the Festival was held in Champaign where the A cappella, the Octet and selected members of the SHS Orchestra took part in the program. Although many fine singers will leave the A cappella choir in June, it will still be sure to shine as a great tribute to Springfield High School, One Hundred Eleven MISS HAUSEN Director OFFICERS Secretary ............

It is only natural that in a school of this size there are a great number of students who are intensely interested in doing choir work. In order to keep the A cappella choir a well balanced group and to give ample opportunities to the younger students who were interested in choir work, Miss Hausen formed the Junior Choir in the spring of i946 as a feeder group for A cappella. The Junior Choir is composed of about sixty-tive boys and girls who are working toward admission to A cappella. ln this preparatory group students learn choir pro- cedure, work for breath control, and learn to read their parts. The choir sings both accompanied and A cappella. Let it not be thought that this group does all its work in a classroom. The choir has sung for Spring- field High School P.T.A. meetings and has appeared with the A cappella in the formal concerts each semester. One Hundred Twelve OFFICERS Accompanist .......

This group is the Girls Choir which carries on about the same type of work as the Junior Choir, except with different per- sonnel. A Most of the members are Freshmen or Sophomores, but some Juniors and Seniors have remained in the Girls Choir because of program conflicts which would not allow them to enter A cappella. Like the Junior Choir, this group provides vital experience needed for A cappella. The girls train their voices and learn to read parts. Even though they do not perform for groups outside our school building, the girls get excellent ex- perience in choir procedure. The choir has performed for P.T.A. groups in our own school and has appeared with the A cap- pella Choir in both the January and the Spring Concert.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY This large group of people may look normal but actually they are the brains ot the senior class. They have the distinction of being elected to the Na- tional Honorary Society. Not more than fifteen per cent of the graduating class can become members ot this organization. The requirements for mem- bership are a general average of B during the entire four years ot high school and the equivalent of four A's and two B's as semester averages in at least one major subject. The National Honor Society emphasizes scholarship, leader- ship, character, and service. Our chapter ot the society was organized in l934 and is now under the chairmanship ot Miss Sadie Clapper.

Www LIMD gc. a n U5 Nxvxead Co 9 Coach EN Springfield High School played a highly successful football season which ended up with the Senators turning in a record of five wins, two losses, and two ties which brought them half ownership in the city title. ln the Big l2 race the Solons had a rather erratic start which caused them to drop the first two contests to Decatur and Peoria Central. But the boys bowed back by knocking off Bloomington and Lincoln and tying Streator in the season's finale. The red and black scored a total of l22 points to their opponents' 84. This record was possible mainly through the efforts of Captain Charlie Glis- son, who played center position for his third year, and Jim Duda, hard driving fullback, who was elected by his teammates to captain the squad next fall.

In the first quarter Woodruff fumbled behind their own goal for a safety. ln the final period Duda car- ried the ball on six successive plays, picking up fifty-seven yards and six points. The Springfield gridmen played their first city league game against the Feitshans Flyers. The Southsiders scored the first points by vir- tue of a thirty yard pass. In the final canto Duda sprinted twenty-three yards for a touch- down. The attempted conversion was not good and the game ended 6 to 6. The second city league game ended more favorably for Springfield when they downed Ca- thedral l4 to O. In the opening minutes the Solons blocked a Cyclone punt on the fifteen yard line and after five plays and two penalties, Duda drove seven yards for six points. Wiesen- meyer kicked the extra point. ln the second period Joe Gibbs flipped a pass to Bramlett who then ran twenty yards for a touchdown, Wiesenmeyer again booted the point. SHS gained a tie for the city title with Feitshans by dropping Lanphier l3 to 7. Bern- ing scored the first six points when he grabbed a Lanphier fumble in mid-air and ran forty-one yards untouched. The kick for point was not good. Lanphier, aided by two penalties marched forty-three yards for a touchdown and the try for point was good. ln the final quar- ter Lanphier again fumbled and Glisson recov- ered. Berning scored after two tries and the extra point was not good. ln their first Big l2 contest SHS received the worst licking a Springfield team had taken from Decatur since l92O. Decatur marched seventy yards the first time they had the ball to take a 7 to O lead. Springfield came right back as Duda drove seven yards to score. Decatur added seven more points in the third quarter as the result of a fifty-three yard run.

Gagnon scored on a thirty yard run in the third period. Wiesen- meyer again converted. ln the final canto Berning went fifty-six yards in a series of plays before scoring on a twenty yard run. This time the kick was not good. Springfield roared over their second Big l2 rival in a row by trouncing Lincoln 35 to 7. On the fifth play of the game Duda swept forty-five yards to a touchdown and Wiesen- meyer converted. Two minutes later Duda went through the center of the Lincoln line for sixty-two yards and another six points. Early in the second period SHS gained another two points when Lincoln fumbled behind their goal. Bramlett plunged four yards for another score a few plays later. On the last play of the first half Hodde intercepted a desperation pass and sprinted seventy-five yards to make the score read 28 to O. ln the first minute of the second half Duda broke loose again and Wiesenmeyer kicked the extra point. In the final period Lincoln managed to score against the Solon reserves. ln their final game Springfield knocked Streator out of the Big i2 Championship by forcing them to a l3 to l3 tie.

The Big l2 meet was too late for publication in the Capitoline. One Hundred Thirty-five GYM CLASSES TRAIN FUTURE STARS MR, ROELLIG GIVES A FEW POINTERS The gym classes at SHS serve a twofold purpose. The main purpose is to insure the nation of a healthy citizenship for the future and the other is to instill the spirit of good sportsman- ship and team play in all the students. The gym classes offer a wide range of activities for boys and girls. The boys' gym classes include such outdoor activities as softball, touch foot- ball, and trackg and such indoor sports as basketball, volleyball, boxing and wrestling. Whenever the weather permits the classes go to the athletic field for training. ln the girls' gym classes such activities as basketball, volleyball and kickball are participated in. Each semester tournaments to select the cham- pionship team of each sport are held. Special or 6th period gym is available for the boys out for the various athletic teams. This class enables them to start practice at 2:l5 instead of after school. Mr. J. L. Sanders Mr. Jesse Sanders is the man behind the scenes of all athletics at SHS. As business manager for the athletic department he never has a dull moment. lt is Mr. Sanders who has to arrange all the ticket sales, publicity, seating, contracts with other teams, and buying of new equipment. He has all these duties besides teaching mechanical drawing. His duties be- came so extensive this year that he had to have a telephone installed in his room. He did an excellent job in his handling of the sectional basketball tournament.

Pete, who will always be remem- bered for his great Springfield High School bas- ketball teams, devoted his time to instructing gym classes. He has taken ll teams to the Illinois State tournament, more than any other high school coach. The baseball team, coached by Herb Scheffler, had a suc- cessful season. They had won 4 and lost 4 when the Capito- line went to press. Cathedral downed SHS in the opener 6 to l as Engelking pitched. ln their second start the Red and Black squad whipped Niantic by a score of 22 to 4.

Coached by Herbert Scheffler, they played a full schedule of games. They played preliminary games for all the home varsity games and made sev- eral road trips with the varsity squad. Their win-loss record was impressive. They dropped several of their games by margins of only one or two points. In most cases the teams that provided the competition were composed of junior varsity teams and even second string varsity squads. The squad is really designed as a training ground for future varsity material and this year's team showed signs of excellent future material for SHS cage squads. One Hundred Thirty-nine CHEERLEADERS SPUR TEAMS T0 VICTORY Keeping up the morale of the teams and their supporters dur- ing both victory and defeat was the job so successfully carried out this year by Marianne Hal- pin, Leon Helphinstine, Roy Heidemann, Roberta Pelham, Barbara Raisch, Beverly Swan- son and Joan Knight-the Pep Squad of Springfield High School. Desirous of increasing school spirit, these seven willing work- ers were always on the job whether it was a rainy night on the football field, a basketball game in the Armory, an out- of-town game, or one of the numerous pep assemblies held at the High School. Special thanks are due to Marianne l-lalpin, the head cheer leader, and to Leon Hel- phinstine, who will not be back at Springfield High School next fall. Our hats are off to this in- dispensible group who have led the student body in cheering our teams to victory.

The January Class met in Room I4 to further their plans about the play. 9-Where did all these people escape from? I've never seen such a crowded game. We sat on the Bloomington side and watched them lose 49-37. DeMolay and Rainbows got together at the Leland for a dance afterwards. IO-Did you get in to see Spike Jones and His City Slickers? We had to settle for the Orpheum. At Vandalia we slipped again, 4I-38. I3-Feitshans found our five too fierce and was forced to fall by a score of 64-4l. I4-l'd like to ask if you liked the accompaniment for the A Cappella choir concert tonight, but I guess you are all too bright to let that pass. On second thought, l'm the dense one, they do have an accompaniment sometimes. I6-An assembly, actually! Our annual magician act came today. This tme it was the Campbells. A preview of the class play followed. Later Decatur played host lunhappy, foul dayl and won 43-32. P.S. Didn't you just love the marvelous seats we had? I7-Perhaps the fellows were looking forward to twenty quarts of chilli and thirty-three quarts of milk, at any rate Peoria Woodruff won 44-42. 20-Ah, many of the stage-door Johnnies on hand tonight! The reason? Why, the grand premiere of the January Class Play, of course! 2l-Again- Love ls Too Much Trouble! 22-The fact that they received their caps and gowns today made the January grads all the more anxious for that last mile to come. 23-Well-dry your tears, I know it is hard to take, but of I may be trite, You can't win all the time. What game? Peoria Central, 563 SHS, 35. Don't quote me, but I believe this was senior skip day, too. 24-OOOOOh, such be-yoo-tiful girls! The January boys had very good taste in choosing the ladies of the court. The belle of the ball? Charming Queen Jane, who else? 25-I have checked my Capitolines for the last five years il have been here that long??J and all they have ever said about this day is, quote, Senior Class services were held in the First Christian Church, unquote. 26-Oh, Sob! Finals begin. KUnhappy days, these.l 27-Still more . . . 28-Exams ...... ! , 29-Oh, those lucky, lucky people! Graduation day, doesn't that sound simply scrumptious? Well, give me one more semester and l'll be free, too. 30-Why, I ask you, why do they inflict such torture upon us?? I am sure that about all anyone did on this the last day of the semester was watch clocks and be lone- some for the graduates, but 'tis said every student must attend so many days of school a year, 3l-For the last time, fellows, artists' pallets are too heavy!! Especially after clutching them for more than an hour! Many SHS students were on hand at the annual Beaux Arts Ball. FEBRUARY 2-Oh joy, oh rapture, my last semester is born!!! 5-Today is the first of the four College Days. You don't know what College Day is? Well, that's when seniors interview representatives to find out what colleges won't accept them because they have too many veterans com- ing in. 7-Through some misunderstanding, the Sid Pip Dance ended ll- up in the St. Nick Coffee shop! Cozy what? Before the dance, we beat Bloomington, but I don't know the score. Unless I miss my guess, Hillsboro is the team with the be-yoo-ti-ful blond center. Looks are not everything thoughg we won this tough one, 54-51. I2-Thanks for the holiday, Abe. I hope your Friendship train which left today helps save many people from starvation. I3-Hah! Tonight we drank deeply in the sweet cup of revenge! What do I mean? That marvelous team from SHS defeated Decatur, 48-35. This joyous success put us all in a good mood to attend the First Annual Wrang- gler-Delphic Basketball Bounce in the Armory. I6-The DELICIOUS candy sold by the June Seniors was so popular that the latecomers on third shift were a little left out. I9-Again the Seniors trudged hopefully up to the Library to discuss college plans and possibilities. 20--Final Capitoline payments must be made by today-or else! Tonight we went to Lincoln to watch our team make amends for an earlier defeat. This time the score was SHS, 59, Lincoln 43. 2I-A fine way to treat company! Mt. Pulaski pays us a visit,'and what do we do? We defeat its team, 52-33. The Pill Rollers gave their annual Invitation Dance to- night, it was just as wonderful as usual. WHERE'S ROOM?

Springfield came into the Regionals like a lion by de- feating Feitshans 43-23. 3-Even in defeat we are mighty proud of our fine basket- ball squad. Cathedral won the third game of the Re- gionals 46-36. 6-There are so many dances in this school that it is hard for me to keep track of all of them. I believe Entre Nous was responsible for the one tonight. 9-Where there is food, there is bound to be boys from SHS. Tonight the Band entertained the P.T.A. fathers at a Pot Luck supper. IO-I2-Many basketball-minded Springfield students helped to fill the Armory to over-flowing during the Sectionals. I2-Somebody-I say somebody . . . had a dance tonight! According to my notes, it was Sid Pip, but that was last month. Maybe you had better look it up in your own diary, I am confused as usual. I3-Sure an' there's no mistakin' who gave the dance tonight. lt was. the Blarney Bounce and all credit goes to the Sophomores. I9--Grades have to close sometime, you might as well get 22 the sad tidings next Monday as any Monday. Well, shades of Shannon, if it isn't the Shamrock Shuffle again. If you don't know who gives all the Shamrocks away, l'm not going to tell you. -Today the June graduates held a meeting. I must have been sleepy, I don't remember anything that happened in it. Efficient, what? 24-The cast of The Rock did an excellent job of a rather difficult play. I was proud to see that on the whole the student body reacted quite well to this religious drama. 25-The Junior Class held a meeting today, but since I am not a Junior I couldn't tell you what their purpose was. Every once in a while we get a delightful treat. Today's joy was getting out of school at 2:30.

All eyes were focused on the track as the season got under way this afternoon with the class track meet, RIL I-No, I'm not an April fool, I act this way all year round. Many big iokers attended the Fool's Folly which the Jun- iors gave tonight. 2-The DeMolay-Rainbow Coronation Ball-whew! That is quite a mouth full! Queen Norma was quite an eyefull too. P.S. There was a teachers' meeting today and NO SCHOOL! - Home Study-Should it be abolished? The Junior Town Meeting discussed this subject today. To look at their grades, I would say some students have already abol- ished it. -The number of assemblies this semester is making it harder and harder for me to make wise cracks about their usual absence from this calendar. Today James Dutton and his marimba finally found the opening be- tween the curtains. IO-Because I am a devoted follower of the SHS Orchestra iand because my friend is sitting here with a gun in my back saying pleasel, I should like to devote a whole page to singing the praises of this splendid instrumental group for winning first prize AA rating at the district contest in Petersburg. I6-Which twins did Hob Nob Spin, Carrier, Klassen, or Aure- lius? At any rate, the attendance and good-'l'imes-had- by-all prove that this was one of the most successful dances of the year. I7-The Senator lists today as the Delphic weiner roast, but I9-2 them as knows tell me that it was a moonlight hike. Maybe they were one and the same, it sounds exciting either way. 6-This is Clean Up Week: how much did you win in that paper game last night? Ha, Ha, aren't I witty-No? Well anyway, keep the floors and campus clean. 20-Ho-hum, my watch says . .... oh! excuse me, I don't have a watch ..... well, as I was saying, the clock struck twelve midnight. This is a fine time for me to come across the note that reads 2O-Symphony Orchestra Concert. Music always has a soporific lyou'll get that one in I3l effect on me. 22-I dashed madly into the auditorium today in high hopes of seeing a lot of little amateur Delphics sitting around on display, but it seems I had the wrong impression of a Delphic Amateur Show. -lt is a bear? ls it a porcupine? ls it J. Ham Lewis? One Hundred Forty-six No! It's Bramlet and his prize-winning beard! The Wranglers certainly had a big barn for their dance to- night. 26-Today I do not want to be witty. The World Problems classes found plenty of laughs in the park in Jackson- ville, but after going through the State Hospital and the School For the Blind I have but one comment to make-Be it good or bad, I thank God l'm the way I am, 27-I left out the Wranglers Banquet on March 24, lfor which I apologize most humblyl. But I didn't forget my friends from Philo. This evening the Annual Philo Alumni Banquet was held at the Elks. 28-lst part What has become of my pet canary called Enza? 2nd part I opened the cage and in flew Enza! Think hard folks, it will dawn on you. All Mr. Aggertt had to say was That'll do girls, thanks. I am talking about class play tryouts in case you were wondering, 30-Office slips were sent around today to inform the ten lucky Thespians that they had been chosen for the Class play. Office slips aren't the only ones being handed out, Monday we get grade slips which will probably shock a few Seniors into working. Lunch shifts were cut today for a short concert by the Bradley Choir. lndigestion, no less! IMAY I-The fact that everyone practically drowned during inter- mission helped to make Pill Rollers a simply dripping SUCCESS. 4-Oh fudge! iThat's not supposed to be a cuss word.l l'rn fairly drooling for a piece of fudge the Philos sold today. 5-I thi-ink the assembly today was a rah-tha ripping pre- formance by a man who set the jernt wild with his in- toipretashuns of dialects and accents. Do you ken what l'm talking about? 7-Today all the Senior girls were wishing they were down- stairs listening in on the Prom Court nominations and all the boys were wishing they were upstairs listening in on the election of a boy to crown the queen. 8-I could make a crack about the poor attendance at the Senior Class Banquet but why dwell on the dark side of life. For the large percentage who did attend, the food was delicious and the entertainment superb. I3-Spike Jones must have seen some of the beautiful girls from SHS, At any rate, he couldn't resist bringing his Musical Depreciation Revue back to Springfield for the second time this year. I4-The Forest Flowers probably will be flinging around be- fore the night is over, knowing how well boys obey the do not disturb signs. All hail to the ring of May and all credit to the Les Bas Bleus. I5--I shall assume responsibility for any mistakes I have made so far, but today is the last deadline so l'm just guessing from here on out. Either the Delphics had a few weiners left over from April or they have mad passion for weiner roasts. State Track Meet in Champaign was held on the l4th and l5th. I6-Today was the climax of weeks of practicing on the part of the sophomores. The annual spring Cantata was presented this afternoon. 20-This is a night all of us have been looking forward to. We haven't seen our band in action since the Basketball season. The Annual Band Concert is always a memorable event. 2I-Chairs and cokes provided in the halls, an assembly in the morning, longer shifts, shorter study halls, sound like Utopia! It isn't though, it is Springfield High on Student Government Day, iAt least according to ada vance campaign promises.l 25-Gee kids, are we ever gettin' cultured! Hardly a week goes by without a concert either at school or in the Orpheum. All kidding aside, I think it is wonderful, and especially wonderful was the A Cappella Choir Concert tonight. 28--Oh, this I like muchly! Rumor has it that roll will be taken at the Senior Picnic today. That won't keep us from having a big time on Skip Day, though. It is more than a rumor that there was a big time in the old park tonight. IA party that isll 29-No matter how they change them, we'll remember the Queen and her beautiful court the way they were tonight. The Evening in Paris Prom was the climax of four long years of work and of social life, 3l-A dozen roses to Mr, Bohn for getting us this holiday, After last week-end l'm sure Seniors were all too tired to come to school anyway. JUNE I-lt took me a long time to figure it out, but there are only nine more days of school after today! The Spring- field Symphony Orchestra had its third lor is it fourth?l concert tonight. 2-This is one assembly the girls won't want to miss. All the star athletes and the band and orchestra awards will be handed out. Did I leave out anyone? 4-I do hope that they didn't slice those hams so thin that they couldn't go to the Pill Roller dance after the class play. 5-Again all feet were turned toward the SHS auditorium to witness the greatest production in years, iplugl the Senior Class Play. In case you haven't guessed the name, it is Slice It Thinf' 6-The days seem to be just dragging along now. Will June lOth ever come? Today the Baccaloureate Services were held in the First Christian Church. 7-All praises be to the little beavers on the Capitoline Staff. IConceited aren't l?l Today iwe hopel for the first time since I944, the Capitoline came out on time, IO-My, those people look nice up there on the stage-this morning was Recognition Assembly, tonight is the night, I don't think it will ever end, there is so much going on. After graduation the Philos presented their annual spring dance. After that there were many, many parties that lasted until June ll! ll-For once the teachers got rooked, they had to come back today but students didn't. Farewell, have fun this summer.
