Graham, patron of arts, journalist, educator, and above all, a friend of the student, we dedicate the l953 CAPITOLINE. To an individualist not afraid to move differently from the crowd, to one who has taken an active interest in educational legislation, newspaper work, and teaching, but most of all to a thoughtful and encouraging woman, calming senior fears about English, giving advice to future news reporters, and toss- ing hints to future college students-to Miss Graham the class of '53 pays tribute.

ROBERT PERZ Here's a man you'll all have to meet. He came to SHS five years ago as assistant principalg for the past two years he has been our principal. The burden of administering to the needs of fourteen hundred students is not an easy one. Although everyone knows how busy he is, few know how varied his duties are. Mr. Perz has shown diplomacy in handling diffi- cult situations. His fairness, even disposition, and democratic ideals are well known and appreciated by students and faculty alike. Springfield High School has long had a reputation for excellent scholastic work, good student conduct, and good administration. Both Mr. Perz and the instructors are anxious to maintain this fine record in the field of edu- cation. Nine ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL MR.

I was feeling hopelessly lost when I took a chair inside the office. In front of me was a big desk with Mr. Lederer sitting behind it. My ears burned, my temperature rose, the halls echoed my thoughts. Oh, why did I throw that spitballl Then he looked up from his work and started talking. It seemed that in a matter of seconds my terror faded. I liked himl Say, he wasn't bad at all. The task of discipline is a difficult one, but Mr. Lederer has made countless friends among the students and parents. His pleasant methods in discipline and accessibility at all times has contributed to this popularity. its-ljilffg gu Tr I J lg. if if lxllgil Ten COUNSELORS If s-A RUTH JOHNSON Indiana University, A.B.g Northwestern University, M.A. in Guidance LOUISE E.

We still remember its outstanding class play Papa ls All, which was so well done that it was repeated by the request of the Theatre Guild in their auditorium. The Prom, too, many will remember, for it was simply magnifi- cent. More than this, SHS can point to the January graduates as they step out into a bigger world and proudly reflect on their capable leadership and honor- able academic achievements made in high school. The January class of l953, with similar success in future responsibilities as here at SHS, will certainly make good. l JJ.

They have completed a four year job and at last are being promoted to work in the big wide world. Yes, they made it and Iet's hope their attempt at later life will be as successful as that which they made here at Springfield High School. These last eight semesters they have participated actively in every way so as to boost the high standing of SHS. And their attempt has been success- ful for, without them, the rest of the classes are going to have to fill in large numbers of vacant spots that will be left. No one will forget the class of '53 representatives in football, basket- ball, track, and baseball. For four years they kept the crowds cheering with excitement. Also, their contribution to the National Honor Society cannot be over- looked. All in all, we can't see how they could possibly fail in anything. But we'll have our fingers crossed and give a hearty good luck to the June Seniors anyway.

This year has shown that there are many outstanding individuals in the Junior class who both eagerly and efficiently have taken on responsibilities in Student Council, Athletics, Clubs, and other activities. This sort of energetic co-operation does much to maintain the honorable traditions of SHS. Often Juniors have been directly responsible for im- provements at Sl-lS, making its name truly representative of a good school. Next year is the big climax. Certainly these Juniors will ably fulfill all the Senior tasks of next year and come through successfully in their last year at Sl-IS.

They stepped gra- ciously trom the shy Freshmen to the blooming young Sophomores of Sl-lSl It has often been said that the Sophomore year is the dull- est and least exciting ot the whole four year period. But look how these lO's have disproven that fact. They have had as much vim, vigor, and vitality as the rest of the school combined. Even in their young lite, they realize that it takes team work to accomplish a job, and they certainly made a habit ot thriving on it. A large number had the required 3.5 average tor applica- tion in the tour literary societies and many took advantage of it. These kids didn't need a tour leaf clover or a horseshoe tor luck was with them from the start. They may look back on their second year with glowing pride for these Sophomores have done a marvelous job.

They have weathered the usual barrage of wrong room numbers and fifty-cent elevator tickets and have built a stable foundation of knowledge. Upon this foundation the graduating class of I956 promises to develop scholastically, athletically, and socially as well. The tempo of activities at SHS will not slaclcen with such an able class. No one has yelled louder, cheered longer, nor competed better in high school goings-on than the Freshmen. The years at SHS will certainly go fast as this Freshmen class goes through high school. And their stay here is sure to be successful. Sixty-three i t F if fn, QQ ' at in - . i uv 'P ':. If I ' N P f, f . ji il! , -- - Amari 5 l ' it ff- : . Y aria. ' E- 'Tr N E A 'Q Q ll .

The Flyers scored in all periods. SHS's only scoring chance came in the third quarter when Keith Schroeder caught Jerry Johnson with a pass, the play covering 67 yards. An offside penalty nullified the attempted touchdown and a fumble recovered by East St. Louis stopped the Senators for a shutout. The Senators played their initial city league game against the Feitshans Flyers on Sept. l9. The tight 6-3-2 defense of SHS kept the Flyers scoreless till early in the third quarter when Knox raced 67 yards for the only touchdown of the game. Although SHS led in first downs with l3 to the Feit- shans lO, numerous fumbles prevented both teams from addi- tional scoring throughout the game. On Sept. 26 the Senators encountered the Cathedral Cyclones at Memorial stadium and ended up on the short end of a 26-l3 score. Al Koeller sparked our Senators with a 62 yard drive for our first tally of the evening. Al also added the extra point. The Senators second score came in the fourth period on a quarterback sneak by Keith Schroeder. Springfield's first win came Oct. 3 over the Lanphier Lions. Reserve back Dick Coe led the SHS drive with three touchdowns while Capt. Al Koeller tallied twice, rounding out the Springfield scoring. Superb defense, as well as offense, kept the Lions to one touchdown with the final score 32-7. ln a Big Twelve tilt here, Oct. ll, we lost to Decatur 47-27. Keith Schroeder sparked the Senators with a total of l62 yards for his evening's work and two touchdowns. Tom Hughes and Jim Patton also scored for the Red and Black. .... ,Q l .

In the second quarter with Peoria in possession the ball went into the end zone on a fourth down and gave us a safety. Les Skeels broke his arm in this contest. The Senators returned to winning form when they scored their first Big Twelve vic- tory of the season against Bloomington at Me- morial Stadium Oct. 24. Jim Patton inter- cepted a pass on the Bloomington 48 yard line with twenty-two seconds remaining in the first half and raced all the way for the first TD. ln the fourth quarter Jerry Johnson blocked a punt, scooped it up and scrambled the remain- ing 30 yards for the second tally. Three min- utes later, Keith Schroeder grabbed a punt on the SHS 45, went lO yards before lateraling to Don Post, who raced the last 45 yards for the final touchdown. The final score ended with SHS On top l8-6. Seventy-seven Lincoln's Woodlawn field was the sight of the Railsplitters' lZ-7 defeat over Springfield in a Big Twelve game on Oct. 3l. Al Koeller scored the only Springfield touchdown early in the first quarter. Gordon Post kicked the extra point. Throughout the remainder of the game tight defense by the Railsplitters kept the Sen- ators from passing the 26 yard line of the host club. We were edged in our seasons finale by Mattoon in another Big Twelve battle at Me- morial Field by the score of ZO-l4. Schroeder got the Senators rolling when he scored on a i2 yard jaunt midway in the second period. Then in the third quarter Ward Curran re- covered a fumble for the Senators and scored a safety. ln the final period Schroeder hit Gordon Post with a lZ yard aerial for the final TD.

Down through the ages woman has been known to change her mind quite often. This certainly proved to be true with your l953 Capitoline staff, for in striving to bring to you the greatest book ever, we changed our minds two or three times, much to the disgust of Bob Marsh, Editor-in-Chief, and the only boy on the staff. However, the theme was finally chosen and we began to roll. Remember the Capitoline assembly last October? Oh my, all the work that went into that, but it was worth all the time and effort as you responded by backing us with your sub- scriptions. Up until Christmas each staff member worked independently, but came together for occasional staff meetings. Yes, Barbara was busy writing jingles, Ann began to collect snap- shots of all descriptions, Joanne and Mary Lou drew sketches and more sketches, and MARILYN BAKER MARY LOU NOVACK MARGARET POWELL Typist Asst, Art Editor Junior Photo Editor Ninety-two 1953 Kitty's room was ankle-deep in sports pictures and clip- pings.

But that is enough from ye old philosopher, and back to reality. They say that for every rule, there is an exception. The Senior Capitoline staff wishes to proclaim here and now that this club is the exception. lt is our opinion that the Junior Capitoline staff deserves a round of applause from the whole student body for the excellent 1952-53 Student Directory.

The French Club is a comparatively new organization in Sl-IS, but youth means little. Requirements tor membership are very tew, in tact there is only one-at least one semester ot French. The general objectives are to stimulate an interest in and to broaden views concerning France, its students, and customs. Activity highlights of the year were: a dinner held at the Mill, a French movie based on Les Miserables by Victor l-lugo, and a report on modern France given by Miss Joan Glenning, a Fulbright scholarship winner who recently returned from a year of study in France.

The Freshmen elect tour representatives, the Sophomores tive, the Juniors six, and the Seniors seven. The otticers are elected by the student body in a separate election. The council meets regularly every Wednesday at 8:00 A.M, in room l l7, with extra called meetings it necessary. Aside from carrying on the usual projects, Freshman Day, Howdy Tag Day, sponsorship ot the after-basketball-game dances, Ninety-eight STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS Marilyn Smith, Sue Howarth, Lynn l-lornbrook, Sarah Striebeck work in the Concession stands during the football season, and Jean Day, the Council worked for more pep assemblies, called a student discussion assembly after the coin tossing incident, sponsored the May Festival and worked on numerous other projects. Because of student demand, two new things were introduced into Springfield l-ligh-a school paper-the Springfield Senator, and a i953 Homecoming Dance. Marilyn Smith and Don Post were the reigning royalty. For the past few years the council has been climbing up a steep hill, but it needs a push in the form of all-out student support before it can reach the top. u Ninety-nine SENIOR LES BAS BLEUS TOP ROW: Mary Alice Posegate, Marcia Taylor, Joann Wahl, Janet Bettinghaus, Dodie Gerster, Barbara Smith, Sandra Chadwell, Julia Hollmayer, Judy Loebs, Sandra Cowell, Marilyn Smith, Rose Marie Hester.

This club is open to girls ot sophomore standing whose grade average is at least 3.5. lt strives to promote friendship and co-operation among the girls, and to develop both interests and a sense ot responsibility. With their adviser, Miss Wilson, the girls made real progress toward the achievement ot these aims. On the social side the Les Bas once again sponsored the annual spring dance, The Les Bas Spring Fling. They also included a Spring Fashion Show in their program of activity, as well as the Mother's Tea. This year the organization upheld the precedent established in previous years by contributions to various charities. They also gave a Book ot the Month Club subscription to the Library. Thus the Les Bas completed their well-rounded program during the past year.

Another year has slipped away, but not from under the Del- phics' noses. Though the strict discipline concerning pledge week did shake the ranks to a certain extent, they were able to steady themselves and continue the year's activities. In order that they might prove their boast of being a pro- gressive club, something new was introduced into the Springfield High Social calendar, a come-as-you-are dance in the high school gyms after the Bloomington football game. Clascenna Harvey and combo provided some mighty danceable music.

Although stern administrative discipline concerning pledging activities was a weakening blow to the club, the Wranglers did begin the year in a traditional blazing bonfire manner.

A club always needs money and people always like candy, especially home-made fudge. Put the two together and what do you get? You guessed it! The Chief money-making projects this year were candy sales. G.A.A. also earned a little money by work- ing as part of the Concession Stand Council during the football season.

Two of the objectives of the Cafeteria Council are to promote efficiency of the Cafeteria student workers and to learn how to work with and for other people. However, the council has other projects besides seeing that you and I feed our faces every day. Each year the club packs a Thanksgiving basket for a needy famliy. At several of the dances the council served punch and sandwiches for a nominal fee, saving money, time, and effort for the economy wise and making the dance a little different for the rest of us. Purely social activities included Christmas and Easter breakfasts, and an October wiener roast and a May picnic. One Hundred Eleven . . lst SEMESTER OFFICERS President ..........

A potluck dinner for club members and their families served the dual purpose of a get acquainted party and formal installa- tion of officers.

To create a center of activity for, and to develop leadership in rural thinking boys is the objective of the Future Farmers of America. A glance at the record will prove this true for the ag boys of SHS. They hold first place awards for the poultry and grain judging teams of section fourteen, the third place award in the F.F.A. public speaking contest of section fourteen, and the first place award for the best demonstration team in a state-wide contest. This team went on to place fifth in their class of thirty-two teams in the national contest. Our chapter was also awarded first place plaques for having the best garden and poultry displays at the vocational fair. Still the boys found time to enter showings at various agricultural fairs and to participate in the judging of many other teams. One Hundred Thirteen OFFICERS President .........

The organization has three general ob- jectives. The club should help provide members with a broader outlook on business occupations through actual supervised work experience. lt provides an opportunity for social meetings and educational field trips. Third and mosts important, it develops healthy job attitudes. These purposes lay a firm foundation for a club. The outstanding program of the D.E. Club is an employer-employee banquet lall members participate in a program of supervised work combined with school train- ingl at which educational materials, work books, and shadow box displays are shown.

The club also issues blotters and, believe it or not, blot ink too. The real purpose of the club is not to print calendars or to issue novelty blotters, but rather to create a time and a place where boys may work in projects of printing or bookbinding, when class time is inadequate. The membership requirements are simple lto be explicit, there is only onel -a candidate for membership must be enrolled in some printing course offered in Sl-IS. The Typography club members do not spend all their time up to their ears in ink but hold routine meetings and support a club basketball team. P.S.

The Rifle Club is an organization of and for students interested in learning the fundamentals of shooting rifles and the proper safety rules to practice at all times with regard to fire arms. Though the club is not too well known around school, never- theless it is a very live organization. Activity during the year has included laside from numerous practice sessions and periods of instructionsl participation in the All City Rifle Match, various Postal Matches leach school shoots on its home-range, the scores are sent to an impartial judge who averages the scores and deter- mines the winnerl, and in several shoulder to shoulder matches. The competing schools come together and hold an all day match.

The orchestra has had a busy schedule this Year, including two main concerts. The group also was represented at the All-State Orchestra in Champaign, the Big Twelve Music Festival in Peoria, and the City Music Festival here in Springfield. In addition to this, certain members of the orchestra, who comprise the Little Symphony, have given a few concerts for various organizations. But the members of the orchestra do not d'evote all their time to the study of music. ln co-operation with their council, they have staged a number of parties, in addition to the successful dance, the Lover's Leap. Thus good musicianship and an appreciation for music are developed, while having occasional fun.

This organization has made a total of twenty-five public appear- ances during the school year. Dressed in their colorful uniforms, the band presented their annual concert. Besides this, the band played for the Annual Governor's Christmas Party at the Armory. Following a year- ly custom, the band also performed at the Jacksonville State Hospital before approximately ZOOO patients. But the majority of the performances of the band have been be- fore the students themselves. These include the football and the basket- ball games, as well as a large number of assemblies. There remains no doubt that the boys in red and black have inspired the team and the students to greater honors.

The choir is largely composed of members who have gained their experience in the preparatory choirs. These include Girls' Choir and Junior Choir. This organziation works to develop the voice and poise of the member, as well as his appreciation for music. The program this past season included a large number of varied per- formances, some being for organizations of the city and state. The a cappella, in combination with the Junior and Girls' Choirs, presented two formal con- certs. ln addition to this, the choir sang for our Christmas assembly. They also performed for the Jaycees and for a division of the Illinois Education Association. A highlight of the season was the choir's participation in the Big Twelve Music Festival held on the Bradley campus in Peoria. Choirs from twelve schools rehearsed and gave a concert under the direction of Dr. Harry Wilson.

Under the direc- tion ot Miss Gwendolyn Campbell, the group works to train themselves tor the orchestra by improving their musical ability and by gaining enough orches- tra experience to enable them to move on to the more advanced group. The group met the titth period every other day to practice. In addition to this practice session, they wrote a thousand word theme on the lite ot a composer. This included quite a bit ot research, besides the actual writing. The group also aided the advanced orchestra in their ticket campaigns. Each member ot the Prep orchestra was given tickets to sell tor the winter and the spring concerts, as well as the annual dance, the Lover's Leap. For the semester each member receives one-halt the credit that is re- ceived in the advanced orchestra.

The i953-54 Singing Seven, Sl-lS's busiest public relations group, was composed of Joanne Del-lollander, Donna Downey, Dolores Hawkins, Shirley l-lertel, Sue l-lowarth, Wanda Parkes, and Kathy Taapken. The Seven is under the direction of Miss Margaret I-lausen. The girls are chosen for their interest and ability in music. Ac- cording to Miss Hausen, the triple objective of the ensemble is to develop poise and personality, to give individual stage experience, and to increase technical knowledge. The Seven has made a number of appearances before var- ious types of organizations this past season. Some of the outstand- ing programs were appearances at Palmer Sanitarium and for the P.T.A. on Career Night. They also have performed before a meeting of all chapters of the P.E.O. on Founder's Day and in some of the churches of the city. All these services were given freely. ln performing for various audiences all over the city and in nearby communities, the group built a large and varied repertoire as the musical selections must fit the event, and no two programs are ever alike.

In order for more than l4OO students and 70 instructors to find references and recreational material in our library that suits their needs and desires, much behind the scenes activity goes on constantly. Our student assistants do many of these important tasks such as: proc- essing new books for circulation, checking in and shelving books, filing' li- brary permits, cataloging books, taking care of the mail and bulletin boards and many of the numerous details that are a part of every library. Although the assistants give up a study period to give this service to Sl-lS, they enjoy every bit of the time spent in the library helping Miss Z. Think twice when you see these library assistants and realize that they are an important part of our good library service.

This created a simple, strict life, but Papa, with his instinct to believe the worst at all times, made life almost unbearable for the family, particularly his daughter who was young, pretty, and in love. As the story pro- gressed, his children grew to hate him and his wife to fear him. Only the death of Papa could rid the family of their curse. Papa and his son leave home to go to town-Papa never returns-the son swears it was an automobile accident, that he jumped just in time. The family cannot believe that Papa is all ldeadl, but soon lose their grief in the joys of a happy, normal life that includes a tele- phone for Mama and marriage for the daughter. Papa returns not dead after all, but very much alive and for a moment threatens to ruin the little real happiness his family has ever known, but the law comes and arrests him for a crime. This time Papa is all. One Hundred Twenty-eight JUNE CLASS PLAY TOP ROW: Don Post, Ed Hays, Bob Parker, Tom Bryson, Bill German, Lowell Schuman, George Moffat, Mike Doyle.

LOUIS Mr, Smith had such troubles irith, his lovely daiighteixs three, They 'll7O1llffTl'f Ieoiie Nt. Louis tho' he. begged on bender! knee. Mr. Smith presented his family with what he considered to be a marvelous surprise-he had been promoted to a better position and they must move to New York City. The surprise was more than a surprise, it was a shock. His family rebelled-he could go to New York-they preferred St. Louis anyway. It was World Fair time and who wanted to go to New York when the Fair was in St. Louis. The action of the comedy, which was a Broadway hit and later a Hollywood movie, centers around the dual plot of the three sisters to keep the family in St. Louis and to fix their brother's love life. The play is a little different from any attempted in recent years since it included not only dialogue but costumes lof the early l900'sl, music, and dancing as well. The large audience at each performance showed their approval of the cast by numerous curtain calls.
