Yes, after two long years of struggling through junior high, we were standing on the threshold of senior high school. It didn't take us long to settle into the routine of high school life. Our clubs were organized in social studies and after we got to know everybody a little better, the following class officers were elected; Joan Tarro, president; Nancy Cota, vice president; Evelyn Johnson, secretary; and Bob Clarke, treasurer. Most of the boys were active in football, basketball, and track, while the girls took part in cheerleading, majorettes, and, of course, intramural basketball games. (Remember the first one?) For the most part we were active in the major clubs. Some of us took part in the operetta that the Glee Clubs put on, and who could forget those plays in Freshman Dramatics? The last half of the year the monitors were appointed. Those of us who were not selected were disappointed. (We'd do anything to get out of class three minutes early.) After we had made a thorough study of the town officers and their duties, we elected students to take over for a day. Many artistic abilities came to light in the campaign posters for these offices. Soon June rolled around, and we all looked forward to our field day with an eagerness which was not displayed in our studies. For days we prayed for good weather, and much to our surprise, the day was clear and very, very warm. The picnic was a big success even though some of us suffered from slight sunburn and were lame for a week. Our freshman year soon drew to a close, and I'm sure it would not have gone so smoothly if it had not been for the patience and helpful advice of Mr. Murray. With our first year of high school under our belts, we looked forward to our sophomore year and the challenges It would offer. SOPHOMORE YEAR Marijane Gilfillan At last in 1947, we were sophomores; full fledged members of Springfield High with none of the qualms that we had as mere freshmen. Joanie Tarro took over again our number one office, and proved for the second consecutive year that the weaker sex is not really so weak. We got into the full swing of things with our four able officers: Joan, president; Ray Archambault, vice president; Evie Johnson, secretary; and Gerry Martin, treasurer, cracking the whip that was to drive the class of '50 on to better things. Up the ladder we went and to save us from stumbling on the weak rungs were Mr. Steere, our class advisor, and Miss LaFountain, whose moral support helped to make the sophomore paper, our first major project, a success. We can't forget, of course, Paul Amidon, editor of the Sophisticate, who really deserves a place in the limelight. 39 We sophs were beginning to prove ourselves, too, as active participants in sports and other doings. Five of our boys sported football letters as members of the '47 championship team, and others made a good showing in jayvee basketball and track. We also had two cute cheerleaders, and three majorettes, whose strutting was practically professional. We can't forget, either, the fun we had in our various clubs. Remember the hilarious plays we put on in Dramatics? And so June came, so quickly that we wondered where the year had gone; and ushered in with it the excitement of Commencement, the graduation of the class of '48. And as we looked upon being upper-classmen, we realized that our busy sophomore year had come to an end. JUNIOR YEAR Betty Magwire After a short summer of relaxation, peace, and quiet, we found ourselves back at S.H.S. The halls were filled again with a buzz of excitement, and you could see misplaced freshmen, dreamy- eyed sophomores, and confident juniors looking for some excitement. After a period of getting acquainted all over again, we elected the following officers: Ray Archambault, president; Joan Tarro, vice president; Jane Andersen, secretary, Robert Clarke, treasurer. This year our class was well represented in sports. Boys in our class could be found playing on football, basketball, track, ski, and hockey teams. The girls were active, too; they organized basketball, volley ball, and softball teams, which proves we are a particularly sports-minded class. The Dramatics Club proved to have a successful season, presenting a number of plays, and some of our class participated in the One Act Play Contest. A new plan was started this year, which gave the members of the club an opportunity to learn more about the functioning of plays. A few students were fortunate enough to be sent to the All State and New England Music Fes- tivals, where they enjoyed participating in concerts with many other students from all over Ver- mont. We were also privileged to have several boys and girls sent to Boys' and Girls' State, which was held in Montpelier after the close of school. These were: Nelson Daudelin, Jimmy Humphrey, Jimmy Austin, Johnny Grover, Eddy Austin, Betty Longe, Janet Barr, Nancy Cota, Barbara Lock- wood, and Lillian Blais. Spring came, and with it the realization that it was our turn to put on the Graduation Ball for the seniors. The seniors almost didn't have any decorations--but at the last moment they did, and we, as future seniors, looked forward to our own round of festivities. SENIOR YEAR Marijane Gilflllan 1. For she's a jolly good fellow. 2. Where's the party? 3 Working hard, aren't they? Ij.. Where's ray Mama? 5� Tarzan ! 6. Boy, are we having fun J 7. Sweet and shy. 8. Pin up girl, yes, sir I We strived toward it for eleven years, looked up to it with admiration and longing, and now here it is, our senior year. We've finally hit the top of the ladder, and if that bustling senior in the corridor is any sign, the air up there must be pretty invigorating. This is the year when we do great things with a last salute to Springfield High, and click our heels just a little faster. A swirl of activities engulfs us; among them, strictly class affairs like the Senior Play and our yearbook; but just as important are football, basketball, cheerleading, clubs, and many others in which all seniors excel. We're naturally proud, too, of our two formals, the Football Formal and the Prom that both drew quite a crowd, and where everybody, we thought, had a swell time. Our four with the gift for leadership this year are Raymond Archambault, second-time pres- ident; Ted Weatherup, vice president; Jane Andersen, secretary; and Bob Clarke, treasurer. All have proven their competence in the last four years. And we can't forget our advisor, Mr. Brooks, a guiding light through thick and thin. Our experiences have been many throughout this last year; accidents in the Chem. lab and less hazardous doings in our other classes, but the last term is probably our most active one. Graduation, Class Day, all the excitement of Commencement week descend upon us with vivid reality. It has happened to the Class of '47, '48, '49, and now it belongs to us, the Class of '50. We regard it as an occasion that will always remain in our memories of Springfield High School. la CLASS PROPHECY If the Class of '50 were to have a reunion ten years from now, probably a very small percent- age of us would show up. Where are we all? A rather hurried glimpse into the future reveals that the majority d us have come a long way and, by an odd coincidence, have all chosen the same destination, New York City. The great metropolis with its glaring lights, its laughter, its majes- tic sky scrapers has captured us, and we, in turn, have practically captured it! The lights and the horns and the laughter are quieter now as we emerge from Grand Central Station and breathe the fresh night air. We walk for a short distance taking in the beauty. Far away a clock strikes twelve, and our eyes wander over the spectacle of Broadway. The marquees are still bright, bearing the names of famous stars. On our right in big white lights we are in- formed that BETTE MAG WIRE is currently playing the title role in Rebecca. At our left, those renowned Shakespearean actors, BRADY and WEATHERUP, are co-starring in Hamlet. In the outer lobby, a neon sign is flashing on and off. But no, a second look tells us it s not a neon sign, it s BRIAN SHENK, who's just caught sight of a billboard advertising The Outlaw. Suddenly a sharp cry pierces the air, Fie! Thou art truly a varlet! Then applause. The doors are flung open and the crowd pours out. Among the first-nighters we see JOAN STEARNS and ROGER CAREY, LARRY AIKEN with a devastating blonde on his arm, CHRISTINE BATCHELDER and JOYCE PAQUIN with their husbands (both celebrating their tenth anniversaries), BILL HAST- INGS and NORMA WOODRUFF, JIMMY AUSTIN and PENNY; and there's JOAN TARRO, setting a new style in an ermine Eisenhower jacket! We hear she has her hair done by the famous coiffeure, Mile. MARJORIE BARR. JANIE ANDERSEN, who has taken her young ones to Hamlet for its educational value, is the last to whiz away in her shiny Cadillac. Many of the lights on the Great White Way are now fading into the night, but the latest bulletins are still being conveyed to the public via the New York Times Buildings flash system. Our classmates are making history! BOB CLARKE has just been promoted to the rank of five-star General. The Honourable JAMES HUMPHREY has just been re-elected president of the W.C.T.U. PAUL AMIDON, the Internationally known chemist, has, in collaboration with ALBERT EINSTEIN, discovered a new element, Xypzond hystaminium. It is expected to revolutionize the world of science. A report from the Olympics is being flashed now, and it is that the ski-jumping cham- pionship has ended in a three-way tie among NORRIS COWEN, BOB YORK, and JOHN SCHAFFER. That, by the way, is the first time in Olympic history. Out of the corner of our eyes, we view the latest bulletin, EVELYN JOHNSON has invented, as a result of her research in Sweden, a combina- tion lie-detector and spin drier, which will no doubt bring her world acclaim as soon as she has found a use for the device. It is quiet again, but not for long. A loud screech behind us attracts our attention. It's coming from a bicycle whose brakes have just been applied with a vengeance by the rider, CLAIRE PICK- ENER, who's hosteling to her job at St. Luke's Hospital. The reason for her abrupt halt is the appearance of none other than KENNY DAVIS, emerging from a manhole, skull in hand, yelling, Eureka! I've found one! By means of a handy little sidecar on CLAIRE'S Schwinn, we are taken to St. Luke's; where we see several ambitious night nurses, MARY HADFIELD, BEULAH BRYANT, ELINOR STEWART, CORENNE ALLEN, and one night doctor, MARIJANE GILFILLAN. Madison Square Garden is our next stop. A tense overtime basketball game is in progress. The Celtics are battling it out with some of the best men, LOUIS PARISON, PAUL PICARD, BOB LUCIUS, and JOE SILISKI. Apparently the spectators were too tired to stay on, for in the bleachers only one remains; it's RUTH HEATH, still bursting with enthusiasm. We resume our tour, and walking up a darkened street, notice three lighted windows. In the first, we discern FRED CHEEVER dictating one of his famous sermons. For this purpose he needs four secretaries who translate into four different languages. They are NANCY COTA, VERA DAY, BETTY PIKE, and JANET HUNKA. The second window reveals a night school for teachers in which JOYCE PELKEY, BETTY LONGE, BETTY STEELE, DOROTHY SNIDE, and VIRGINIA WHITWORTH are all enrolled. a little farther on, in the third window, are BEVERLY BARNARD and RAYMOND ARCHAM- BAULT practicing a duet. RAYMOND has a butchcut; it seems he's changed from classical to jazz. On the outskirts of town the massive Brooklyn Bridge looms before us. There is a sign out- side the entrance warning us that it is under construction. ERNIE RICHARDSON has bought the bridge and is rebuilding it with the help of two competent designers, DONALD MILLER and JOHN GROVER. Atop the structure is GORDON PELKEY, the foreman, who, with the help of a huge megaphone, is urging on the engineers, JOE PIGNATO, WARREN BARTLEY, DICK WARD, NELSON DAUDELIN, KENNY LOSEE, and DAVID MCCORMACK. They all tell us that the coffee and doughnuts being served by NANCY SPAULDING on the lower platform are delicious. Stepping on to the bridge we get a better view of the Hudson River, on whose bank is sitting MISCHA KRASOFSKI, tearing his hair, a fishline attached to his toe, just starting his research paper. With this startling occurrence our tour ends and we depart, leaving New York to the Class of '50. MARIJANE GILFILLAN EVELYN JOHNSON 1 Here c°mes the bride I 2. tfhoa, Dobbin 11 3.

In the fall of 194-9 about 60 fellows turned out to fight on the gridiron for the green and white. The fellows were split into three groups; lightweights, junior varsity and varsity. The varsity was composed of about thirty men, with eleven seniors, thirteen juniors, five sophomores and one freshman. A lack of teamwork, and a green team about summed up the Cosmos gridiron troubles. Coach Mackey, despite these difficul- ties, in his first season at Springfield, produced a fighting, even if losing, team. The schedule was as follows: S.H.S. 0 Stevens 12 S.H.S. 20 Windsor S.H.S. 0 Keone 46 S.H.S. 0 M.S.J. S.H.S. 12 Rutland hi S.H.S. 7 Bellows Falls S . ri s. 0 Brattleboro 19 S.H.S. 0 Barre 0 30 12 Springfield High School is very glad to welcome Coach Mackey to Springfield, and we wish him better luck in the years to come. Next year the Cosmo grid team will be without the services of Captain Ken Losee, Larry Aiken, Clyde Barton, Jimmy Neilsen, Frank Krasofskl, Jimmy Austin, Paul Picard, Wally Remington, Bill Hastings, John Schaeffer, and Bobby Clarke. The Cosmos will have seventeen letter-men returning next year plus some boys that have gained experience this year. 48 SKI TEAM First Row: N. Miller, R. York, Mr. Murray, R. Carey, R. Parsons. Second Row: N. Davis, T. Koledo, N. Cowen, J. Schaefer. The 3ki team lost out a ain this year to Old Man V inter, as sufficient snow did not come until February. The boys were again unable to attend the State Meet at .Middlebury because they had no oppor- tunity to practice, whereas the northern snowbound teams had. If the boys had had plenty of practice and meets, undoubtedly a winning record would have been turned in. The record is as follows: Vermont Academy two meets Canceled Rutland two meets Canceled -indsor. Black River (three way meet) Won Alstead Winter Carnival Won 5 out of 9 first places Bringing in the points were Bob York, captain; Norris Cowen, treasurer; John Schaefer and Roger Carey. Absorbing education for the next season was the junior varsity: Rocky Parsons, Tommy Koledo, Nathan Davis, and Norman Miller. 49 BASKETBALL First Row N. Wallace, R. Hookins, P. Picard, R. Lucius, L. Parison. Second Row: Mgr. L. Iwaskiewicz, B. Lucius, R. Porter, Coach Birsky, R Farnsworth, J. Siliski, Mgr. J. Hamel. This year Springfield had another outstanding basketball team, coming in fourth in the S. V. L. Although the Cosmos earned a berth in the S. V. tournament, they were overlooked in favor of fifth place Rutland. In the play-off game of the Northern League, they lost to Cathedral, 31 to 29. Seniors on the team were Captain Paul Picard, Joe Siliski, Louie Parison, Bob Lucius, and Bob Farnsworth. Managers, Jim Hamel and Leon Iwaskiewicz.

There has never been too much interest in tennis around Springfield, but Coach Steere is trying to arouse more enthusiasm. He has already arranged games with Bellows Falls, Vermont Academy and Brattleboro, and hopes to get more. There is only one letter man returning, Eugene Thibault, but Bob Clarke and Louie Parison will be back arid should win their share of games. Good luck to our newest sports organization] BASEBALL Since the yearbook is published before the baseball season starts, we can give you only a look at the prospects. Dick Cout- ermarsh, Bill Hastings, Norm Wallace, Jake Currie, Dick Blais, Dick Wyman, Bob Mitchell and Richard Sullivan are all back from last year, and, with the help of newcomers, should have a success- ful season.

Two of the girls, Jane Andersen and Joan Tarro, were lucky enough to attend the New England Music Festival in West Springfield, Mass. Seven of the girls are singing in the Vermont Music Fes- tival in burlington, Vt. They are Dorothy Snide, Betty Longe, Evelyn Johnson, Norma Woodruff, Mary Hadfield, Marijane Gilfillan, and Marjorie Barr. BOYS' GLEE CLUB The Boys' Glee Club has sung in both the fall and spring concerts that were given by the Music Department this year. The Glee Club, this year, is under the direction of Mr. S. Lee Varker. 68 CLUBS On a beautiful day in the latter part of May, I was asked to guide several vis- iting teachers through our high school. It happened to be during the sixth period which made the trip a little more exciting. The first room we came to was the physics lecture room, and from it were coming the heated sounds of debate. We entered, and discovered the monthly meeting of the S.A.A. in progress. Under the guiding hand of MR. HEATH, the GENERAL COUNCIL and the GOVERNING COUNCIL comprise the life blood, so to speak, of our activities here at S.H.S. The chairman and the secretary of the GOVERNING COUNCIL are RICHARD HOPKINS and MARION SIMONDS. Guiding the GENERAL COUNCIL are Chairman JAMES HUMPH- REY and Secretary JANET RIEL. Our next stop is in room 216 to examine the progress of the newly formed SOCIAL COMMITTEE. This organization, sponsored by the S.A.A., plans the parties and social events of the year. Chairman of this group is RICHARD HOPKINS and the secretary is DOLORES DOANE. To be or not to be, that is the question -ah, yes, the dramatics clubs. We find MISS BOYLE S sophomores energetically debating the question, and those unpredictable freshmen under MISS TORREY S direction are riotously doing something about It. Our next stop is in room 12I4. where MRS. SPAULDING has called a meeting of the ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE. Under the thumb of its new chairman, EDGAR COTA, they plan our assemblies which highlight Friday afternoons. The lovely music which we hear coming soft and low from the auditorium Is the GIRLS� GLEE CLUB, this j ar under the direction of MISS PERROTTA. Drifting along, we come under the spell of a slightly more turbulent brand of music which indicates the efforts of the BOYS� GI£E CLUB, lustily sounding to the satisfaction of our new music supervisor, MR. VARKER. The ORCHESTRA this year consists of a string ensemble which is much smaller than last year s music makers. The BAND, however, has increased in size. Snap-flash--that was only GALEN CRANDALL of the CAMERA CLUB snapping a picture for the GREEN HORN. The school paper is under the supervision of MISS LAFOUNTAIN whom we are all glad to have with us again. BETTY KELLY is now Editor-in-Chief and is doing a fine job. After watching the MAJORETTES for a few minutes practicing a new routine, we pass on to the gym where we hear MISS CRESS� S CHEERLEADERS sounding off. This year the squad is quite a new bunch and are doing a grand Job guiding our boys to victory. The beautiful wood carving work you saw at the Bazaar was done by the ARTS AND CRAFTS CLUB, headed by RICHARD YOUNG and supervised by MR. LAMBERT. Got an old rock you want polished? Well, we have a club for that, too. The LAPIDARY CLUB spends many long hours polishing stones to a shiny finish. Science, did you say? See MISS MCCLELLAND in the SCIENCE CLUB. She has all the equipment you need to become a stand out in the field of science. Ten cents, please, for your over-due book. That Is the job of the LIBRARY CLUB with MR. OTIS, Librarian-in-chief. The SOUND CLUB and PROJECTION CLUB show movies which are educational and inter- esting. Movies are used for classroom work as well as for entertainment. These boys have done a grand Job. If world affairs are your interest, as well they should be, the UNITED NATIONS CLUB is your destination. World problems are their meat, and much of the future of the world is decided under the guidance of MR. STEERE. The Sewing Circle is well under way. The WHAT-SO-EVER CLUB provides time in which one may sew, knit, or crochet. If you don’t know how. Just learn; MISS GARY is there with a helping hand. MISS SEELEY told us that her HOSTESS CLUB helped serve at banquets, dinners, and teas and has been highly successful. The period seems to be drawing to a close, we see, because the MONITORS are out faithfully on duty to keep the traffic under control. Our last stop will be the MERCHANDISING CLUB which, at the half-year, sends students out to work in stores. The employers of these clerks are glad to have these salesmen, trained by MR. ALEXANDER. Just before the close of school we were glad to see the PATROL BOYS going on duty to guide our future citizens home safely. Our guests were delighted to see so many advantages and opportunities whidh these organizations offered, and wished they were back in school themselves.
