11\tbfcatfon To the memory of those alumni of Springfield High who have given their all for our country, we dedicate this book.

"They shall not grow old, As we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, Nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun And in the morning.

We will remember them."

For The Fallen-Lawrence Binyon

We are still confronted with a world at war, but victory on the field of battle seems assured. Our hearts go out to our brave and courageous young men and women fighting on the battle fronts in all parts of the world.

May the year 1945 bring the war to a victorious ending and assure to the people of all the world an everlasting peace.

-Harvey C. Sabold Supervising Principal

Seniors-it is fundamental to the survival of democracy that we who believe in it rededicate ourselves to the principles expressed by Abraham Lincoln when he said, "1 hold that while man exists it is his duty to improve not. only his own condition, but to assist in ameliorating the condition of mankind-I am for those means which will give the greatest good to the greatest number."

March 8 It was dress rehearsal and the left wing of Springfield High was buzzing with young actors! ... all in dress parade . . . This was the night . . . Tomorrow would be too late . . .

A good time to see some of these stars in action, we thought. So we walked through the side door . . . almost surreptitiously . . . 'n' there they were . . . Young David Cooper, the plumber in the play, hanging on to a Calas work pipe . . . Bill Schaffnit (Danny Day) . . .

Ernest Meneely (Daddy Day) and Marshall Willey (Lieutenant MacDougall) getting himself ready for his Scotch Kilts.

"How's the play going?" we asked.

"Oh, all right . . . I guess . . . they're up there now . . . we come in later . . . " shot back Meneely.

"And we brought the sofa all the way from Twenty-second¡ and Market on the EI interposed young Schaffnit.

"You what ... a full fledged couch . on the EI?" You can imagine our surprise when we learned that those fellows-Ernest Meneely, Bill Schaffnit. David Cooper, Bill Parks, and Allan Brown-all of 'em bought the old divan for eight dollars, leaving themselves eighty-five cents for car-fare. They started to heave the gadget when they suddenly discovered the bottom was falling out. WelL then, they carried it up-side-down to the thirty-second street station. And, here the real trouble started! The cashier said, "No"-The boys said "YES" . . , She still objected. But the sofa went through and the boys with it . . . There was a small inconvenience when Cooper had to go through the turnstile six times to check their fares.

Anyway, it was about four thirty-the rush hour was on . . . But the boys, sofa and aIL got to sixty-third street where they winged their way to the platform . . . Cooper holding fast to the door. There they met Jack Rann who helped lift the soft to his car . . . this time a couple of springs ':were busted" . . . and the crew came merrily to rehearsal.

Well. it was some story . . . and a good one. we thought. But up we went . . up the rickety steps landing plum into one of the dressing rooms back stage. The play was on ...

All around stood various characters . . . Marlys Lindgren with her prompt book . .

Nancy White. Margery Wilson. Audrey Wilson. and Ruth Harper . . . all doing something or other . . . mostly waiting for cues.

On the stage Bill Parks was making love to Lieutenant Mary Day (Shirley Waterman).

And he was doing all right ...

"What do you do?" we asked a little lady as she passed.

"Me? Why I just add to confusion," smiled Pat Rile.

At this point. it seemed. the curtain closed. The act must have been over. for all the players filed on stage. Soon director. Miss Mildred Brown. talented player herself. was heard ... Evidently she was meeting the cast.

But. we were on our way out now . . . past Dave Cooper and his mustache we didn't take time to ask him what happened to the pipe . . . George Anderer was calling out to Okay something Ernest Meneely looking for his Tux . . . somewhere, somebody had turned on some music sound effects. no doubt.

One more backward glance-then out we came-and the night air felt good ... so did the confidence that Springfield was about to present the best play ever!

Twenty-seven

(!Class .J!}istotp 1941 - 42 WE REMEMBER the ninety-three Freshmen that were greeted that year by Miss Sanbe, Mr. MacClatchy, and Mr. Emmerling. Our class, in its peak in numbers, had eighteen on the Junior High football squad which rolled up one hundred and fourteen points to the opposition's zero. We saw the drum majorette in her new uniform leading our snappy band. This was the year of Pearl Harbor.

1942 - 43 WE REMEMBER the year we returned as Sophomores. Starting the year off right, we elected Don Attwood, Tom Kraemer, Dewey Schwarz, Ed Calder, and Barbara Lewis to represent us in the Senior Student Council. Mr. Albert J. Wentz and Miss Edna Cheyney were appointed as our advisors to gUide us through our remaining years in school. Bud Wright, Tom Kraemer, Bob Gambone, and Leo Patterson were. our outstanding representatives on the. footbp:ll team under the guidance of "Marty" Howell. On the boy's varsity basketball team, we had one player-Bud Wright. Toward the end of the year we gave the "Soph-Hop" , a~d our own Jimmie Reid supplied the music. This was the year of Stalingrad.

1943 - 44 WE REMEMBER the year we came back to find Miss Berry, Miss Brown, and Mr. Hottenstein our homeroom teachers. Already, some of the old members of the class were beginning to stray from the fold. Don Attwood, Phyllis Achterman, Frank Gorman, Jim Reynolds, Bud Deyoe, Stan Cole, and Charles Thompson were among those that left us.

We remember that this was the first year that Springfield had an undefeated football team.

Eight of our class were in there, making touchdowns. Ed Calder, Howard Laycock, Nancy White, and Jim Spohn were the juniors chosen for the National Honor Society. We were the hosts at the Jr.-Sr. Prom; and, at the Commencement of the Class of '44, Leo Patterson, our president. received the key for the Class of '45. This was the the year of the invasion of France.

1944 - 45 WE REMEMBER our last year best of all.

Assigned to Miss Haldeman's and Mr. R. K. Smith's homerooms, we had time to count noses. Our class had dwindled down to about seventy-five; but our pait in activities had not dwindled. The boys from our class had a big part in the most successful football season in the annuals of Springfield High.

The only "blot" on our record was the 0-0 tie we played with Swarthmore. Other extracurricular activities featured many of our class. Seniors formed the backbone of the Band and Orchestra and a good part of the A Cappella Choir. Our yearbook was piloted by hard-working Janet Buehler, and the Spri-Hian was headed by Ed MacBurney. We remember the basketball team captained by Bud Wright; the club reached the eastern state finals with McAdoo at Allentown. Outstanding among the games were the thriller we won at Yeadon, the game with Sells-Perkasie, and the Camp Hill game. Our class officers included Tom Kraemer, president; Jim Spohn, vice-president; Marlys Lindgren, secretary, and Pat Rile, treasurer.

A new advisor, Miss Sarah L. Berry, was elected to fill the place of Miss Cheyney who left at the end of 1944. The senior play "Days Without Daddy" was presented in March by a cast of twenty-one. The National Honor Society received seven members of our class: Marlys Lindgren, Agnete Heine, Bill Schaffnit. ¡Anna McLaughlin, Ed, MacBurney, Tony Bleecker, and Bob Clark, Ending our school days in a rush of activities which included the class dinner, the prom, and many other events, we were given our diplomas by School Board President, Harold C. Halberstadt. This was the year of the collapse of the German Reich.

WE REMEMBER many other pleasant happenings which we haven't space to list; all of these events serve to make our days at Springfield High live in our memories.

What fun it was exchanging gossip-"Beady" Johnson is honeymooning with a count in Europe, and "Auds", McGrath is working for a coffee baron in Rio. Later At La Guardia Field, Ginny Conwell handed my tickets over the counter, and as there were several spare hours until my plane left. I called Janet to make a date for lunch.

Joy of joys! She was commencing a series of bazooka concerts in Chicago and was booked on the same flight as 1. I arrived at the Gypsy Tearoom early, picked up the "Times", and there in front-page headlines blazed the account of "Wormy" Spohn's marvelous new development of synthetic chewing gum. (Remember those awful. stinky, smokey messes he used to make in Chem. Lab?) Janet walked in a few minutes later, and during lunch, she told me news of some of our old friends now carrying out careers in the "Big City". It seems that a well-known playboy has claimed the hand of Nancy White: nautical-minded Leo is president of the Patterson Steamship Line; Wall Street is Brownie's official parking lot. and he has just launched Jim Lurwick into some business (?) enterprise.

Audrey Batipps taxied us to Radio City, where we watched the new "Nutcracker Show", starring those original nuts Jeanie Glenn and Artie Turner. You should hear Jim Burns' smo¡o-oth voice hypnotising people into buying Knickerbocker's Knut-Krackers. On our way down in the elevator, we met Flossie hurrying back to the "Times" office with a choice chestnut about the private fashion show in which Kathie Rohr modeled several stunning creations by "Patty Ann".

A Little Later Our airship, under the steady hands of Bill Parks, wobbled like a bilious duck down the wrong runway at the Washington National Airport, just three minutes after taking off.

The eyesore (or eyeful!) hostess, Doris Gilday, helped us from the plane and asked to be remembered to all the old gang. Leaning upon the gate was our old politician, Senator MacBumey, accompanied by his charming secretary, Marlys Lindqren. They were waiting to greet the newly appointed Ambassador to Luxemburg, Ed Calder.

As we entered the main waiting room our attention was directed toward a magnificent mural entitled "Aviation Progress". It was the latest work of none other than our own artistic genius, Jo Hewitt, who is now studying in Paletteville. Suddenly, we noticed a crowd gathering, and upon investigation we discovered Nurse Norman reviving an elderly traveler who had just died. Among the onlookers was good old "Bev", sightseeing with her parents. She informed us that Elaine Bausewine is directress of all jobless janitors and porters here at the airport.

Still Later Janet had never been to Chicago before, so I proceeded to tum her around the' "Loop".

We stopped at Marshall Field's, where Dot Urian was selling mink coats to Marqaret Fredricks and Winnie Dixon. They are going to Death Valley on their vacation next week. Dotty had the afternoon off, so the five of us took in a movie, but I doubt whether any of us saw much of the picture. The girls told me Bea Dihlmann has a new job in Hollywood entertaining celebrities. Dewey is a star of the Chicago Mudpuppies and he has batted the all-high average of 300 strike-outs. Bud Wriqht has taken to inventing some new-fangled auto-contraption in his spare time, when he is not coaching the girl's hockey team at Vassar. We are all proud of Doc Clark: he is head of the great research laboratory at Billings Memorial Hospital and has just discovered a miraculous cure for sneezing. The operation is quite complicated they tell me.

Thirty-two

Janet's concert doesn't begin until tomorrow so I bade her farewell and strolled back to the airfield. Just as I was hurrying tov.:ards the' plane, I noticed a hand waving excitedly from the information desk; it was Carol Loan. I had time only to wave and run.

The Next Day It was dark when I arrived at St. PauL but Aggie and Howie met me at the airport and I spent the night at their vicarage. One of their pet charities is a home for stray cats. In the afternoon we went to see the city's famous "Ice Carnival". Was I ever surprised when the feature number turned out to be a graceful Greecian tableau starring Ruth and Don. Howie, Aggie, and I then dropped in on Tony Bleecker, president of DrooL Sloop, and Drip, Inc. His secretary is none other than our capable M:ss Anna. We bumped into Peggy and Chuck who were going to visit "Wild Bill" Compton, owner of the largest dude ranch in Montana.

Bill had promised them a bang, shootiri' party if they came, and since he had invited me out before, I thought it might be fun to go along.

We were met at Billings by "Coop", who was driving his three-wheeled hay wagon.

It was already occupied by an old friend, Bertie Anderson, the ranch foreman, Ernie. and a dark, handsome cowboy. We all had the merriest time riding out to the ranch. That evening, under the stars, we had a scrumptious coyote barbecue. Shirley Waterman and Ginny Connon. who were on vacation, and Bob Gambone put in their appearances, There was a whooping barn dance, and everyone swung his partner . . . Allemande left . . . and promenaded like a veteran to the twanging rhythm of Jimmy Reid's "N" Bar Fiddle Boys. Our host announced that the world-famous bareback team, Bill and Mill. would give a stunt exhibition. The next number was by the "N" Bar's crooner, who turned out to be little Juanita Owens. No opera for her anymore; she is a gal of the plains. The final number on the program was a lively dance by the Wilson Sisters. They looked stunning in their colorful cowgirl'costumes.

I really hated to say good-bye to such a swell gang, but "Time Waits For No One"; so, I rumbled back to town in the old hay wagon and set out at last for Portland.

Much Later The weather was glorious and the scenes below were bright and clear.

We hadn't been flying more than ten minutes when everything turned black, and we were jolted to the floor. Kay Siegle. the hostess, told everyone to be calm for it was only a storm, but she was wrong. It was not a storm but the rocky face of Bald Sphinx Mountain that we ran into. Pilot Tom Kraemer had fallen asleep dreaming about a rodeo and thought he was bronco-busting. Golly! What a shock! No one was injured and the plane was in perfect condition except that it had lost half its motor. We were rescued by a giant ranger, Monk Willey. who is head of the United States. Forest Service in Butte. He was out hunting for a rare species of lollipop tree when he saw us crash. .

"Don't you worry, now,". he told us. "There's a mechanic up the river a piece, and he will have that motor fixed good as new in no time." Monk set .off to fetch him, and a week later came back with a sleeply old fellow named Dick Shea. Shea's miner friend, Walt Brenckman, came along hopefully searching for a new vein of silver. After almost two days, Dick announced, "the thing's fixed." We eagerly scrambled to our seats, and Tom warmed up the motor. We took off with fine speed. Horrors! we were traveling backward. I imagine this was the first plane to fly backward over the Rockies, but we made it at last. We flew over the Columbia River, where George Anderer and Jerry Waterland were engineering a new dam to replace that little. old, useless one called Boonville.

I met Felice deFrenes in Portland, and, as she was driving to California that afternoon, I begged a ride as far as Seaside. On the way through the Willamette Valley, we passed a huge dairy farm owned by Frank Waltz and FranK Templin. Suddenly we heard a honking; looking back, we saw a lumber truck driven by Jack Rann and Bill Sandford. Felice told me that in the annual Rose Festival held in Portland last week Ed Harley's new strain of green and black roses won the prize.

Now at last. I have time to relax and to ponder with deep pride and satisfaction over the wonderful achievements of all the members of the Springfield High School Class of "45".

Who would have thought it-ten long years ago?

This morning I couldn't help noticing the buzzing-who do you think will make it? You do-so do I-Everyone was really keyed up.

With the strains of "Claire de Lune" drifting from off stage the program starte~. In the center of the stage was the Honor Society Emblem flanked by

Our Springfield High School, thou noble one and true,.

To thee we sing again of our gold and blue, Hearts proudly loyal in song, here unite To spread abroad the fame of thy great power and might.

May thy sons be faithful to thy dear memory, Hail our Alma Mater, we e're will sing of thee.

Time ever flowing, now bids us all to go, High lot or lowly weal or woe, Life's duties call .us what e're befall, Love, honor, praise and glory thou wilt hear from all And ever sweetly ringing, the name we hold so dear, Voices shout in mem'ry and echo far and near.

When-we depart from thy protection here, We'll oft look behind us with all affection dear, Boldly we launch out upon life's stormy main, .And live our

brigh~

high school days all over again,

How often we will ponder, on scenes of our student life, And we'll smile and murmur the name of Springfield High.

SENIOR HIGH FOOTBALL

JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL

November 23 Happy day, we won! This makes the second unbeaten year for our .football team. Under the leadership of our new coach, Mr. Jones, we won the American Legion Football Award. A 0-0 score with Swarthmore ruined a perfect season.

Oh, well!

That day it rained.

November 21 This afternoon, with time on my hands, I thought I'd stay and watch a Junior High Football game.

Mr. Schopf certainly can train his boys. We should keep our eyes on that Junior High team. Remember. they are our future Senior High Football players.

Today was perfect for a football game, even though the field was. muddy, and Marple-Newtown scored early in the game: however, fate was on our side; Springfield came out on top with a 19-12 score.

BASKETBALL 'March 21 The law of averages caught up with the club in Allentown tonight.

The boys suffered an off night which eliminated them in the Eastern Finals-<>ne game from the state championship. It was a hard. well·fought game with McAdoo. from beginning to end.

Last week. in the quarter, final at Hershey, the team upset a highly favored club from Camp Hill. Earlier in the year, during the regular league season. the team suffered only two losses., This fine record placed Springfield in second place in the Fifth Section of the Suburban League.

All the boys deserve loads of credit for the most successful season ever attained at Springfield.

CROSS COUNTRY

TRACK

November 21 Today we finished our cross country season with District One Championship on the Cobbs¡ Creek Golf Course. Although we lost one league meet this year, the season was one of the most successful in Springfield's history.

In fact, on several occasions, even coach Wilbur R. Schopf was heard purring like a contented kitten.

As to our record in the dual meets this year, we held our last contest with Media. Because of Coatesville's refusal to playoff a three-way tie for first place, Springfield, Media, and Coatesville must remain in a deadlock for top honors in the suburban league.

April 28 With one final sprint our anchor man dashed across the finish line on the final day of the Penn Relays at Franklin Field. In this final event of the two day meet. we ran against our traditional mile relay opponents, the Ambler High School team and the Classical High School team from Providence. Rhode Island.

Yesterday morning our sprint medley and quarter mile relay teams took places in their events against the usual stiff competition. In the afternoon we were placed in the Suburban Class B Mile Relay Championship. Our competitors were Swarthmore, Media, Ridley Park, and Eddystone.

Able co-captains of the squad this year were Howard Laycock and Leo Hope.

Oh, diary, I am so tired I don't know whether to go to sleep or write, but I just must tell you about today. Every year Beaver College has a day set aside for all the girls' basketball teams to mix and play each other. This is .called Beaver Day, and our guards, playing with Upper Moreland forwards, won. This ended a successful season with our popular coach, Miss Nancy Baldwin, a former student of Springfield High, and Captain Nancy White.

Laurels to a team that won five out of six games!

SENIOR STUDENT COUNCIL Tuesday A. M. Oh! what a life I lead. or what a life leads me. To get up early every Tuesday morning in order to be present for Student Council meeting at 8:20 takes more than will power.

But. it's fun when you get there.

Many activities were launched in those early morning sessions-Turnabout Dance. sport dances, Saturday Morning Club. the hockey game starring the football squad versus the girls' hockey team-just to name a few.

We really are proud of our president. Harold Steimer and Tom Kraemer, our vice.president.

. JUNIOR HIGH STUDENT COUNCIL Wednesday That active Junior High Council certainly has brought attention to itself this yearthey have really "gone to town"! I can't get over the splendid job their campus committee has done. Our campus is really beautiful. I hear they also sponsored a successful dance on February IS-Congratulations to Terry and his officers for doing a fine job in guiding the council.

STAGE CREW December 16 Today, we started to decorate for the Christmas Candelight Service. Four of us went into town to buy laurel and other trimmings for the auditorium. When we returned to school. we found that the other fellows had made a' good beginning. The Christmas trees were standing straight and shining. Meanwhile, Miss Brymesser was trying to have A Cappella rehearsal. but the professional decorators proved too great a distraction with their ladder climbing act. We finished in "the nick of time", and, that night. sitting back in the audience, we felt that our decorations helped to make the service a success.

OPERATORS' CLUB March 28 Today, we showed the movie "King of Kings" in keeping with Holy Week. In the afternoon we showed it for the students and in the evening, the parents were guests of the P. T. A. and the Student Council. This was the fourth flJll length movie we sponsored this year, and it was equally successful.

This year, the club has grown from infancy to adulthood both in membership and activities. Many more class room films have been shown; this is in keeping with the new Visual Education program under the direction of Miss McNiel. our adviser.

ORCHESTRA Spring Concert. May 4 Our big night! New music galore! A jaunty little old French piece by Rameau called "Le Tamborin" opened our part of the program. Howard Laycock liked the "Ballet Music"

by Franz Schubert-he wasn't the only one. but showed it a little more. Howard Laycock, Tony Bleecker, and Ed MacBumey played some trios for clarinet. violin, and piano. by Gounod and Mozart. The selections from Romberg's ':New Moon" took lots of work. as did the pieces for string orchestra, but they taught us a lot; the tough nuts to crack always do.

Do you suppose this grand old gang will ever play together again? What happy memories for the days ahead!

BAND November '23 In our snappy uniforms of blue and gold we paraded onto the field, led by the drum majorette, the twirlers, and the color guard.

Rousing marches colored the atmosphere; visiting and home teams were saluted with tunes and twirling.

The final victory plus our own efforts sent us home with good holiday appetites.

May 4 The Spring Concert found us in a festive mood again. presenting not only martial .foot-tappers. but concert selections of varied sorts. An interesting highlight was the trumpet trio composed of George Anderer. Jim Burns. and Albert Kresge. Their number was "Theme and Variations" by Handel. The wind instrument setting of "Panis Angelicus" by Franck, arranged by Mr. Gamiss. was interpreted by Howard Laycock, Kathryn Smith. Joanne Yenney.

Herbert Zachow. Elouise Barret, Edward MacBumey. and Howard Gamiss.

DRILL. CORPS Wednesday P. M. To the right flank . . . march . .'. right shoulder . . . arms! To these commands we drilled each Wednesday. We struggled and strained to distinguish between right: and left -what a job! Some of us took advantage of the marksmanship course which was given in Swarthmore.

Our corps was commanded by Major Louis Rose, assisted by Captain Derr, Lieutenant Blythe, and Lieutenant Rutherford. Top ranking' non-coms from our own ranks were Howard Laycock. Art Turner, Bill Parks, and Dave Buehler.

MONITORS March 28 At all the busy intersections in the building today we noticed at least one Amazon in slacks and lipstick. This was the squad which relieved our regular monitors on the annual Turnabout Day. This year we of the monitor squad tackled many new duties. During the lunch periods we ambled into the long-room and kept everything in order (?) during the dancing. At basketball games (pretty) spectators were gallantly seated and any bouts in the audience were refereed by our mighty authority. In addition to' regular duties inside the building, at suggestion of the Student Council. we took upon ourselves the responsibility of keeping students off the campus.

With a small nucleus of underclass veterans, there should be a good Monitor Club next year.

A CAPPELLA CHOIR June Home again at last. Today we participated in the first annual Philadelphia Music Festival at Franklin Field.

Our choir sang in the combined chorus of Philadelphia suburban high school choirs.

The inspiring spectacle was highlighted by the singing of such well known compositions as -"Send Forth Thy Spirit" by Joseph Schuetky and the "Hallelujah Chorus" by George F. Handel.

Such nationally known figures as Lily Pons and Lauritz Melchior were present. The Philadelphia Orchestra under the direction of Eugene Ormandy supplied the instrumental music.

DRAMATIC CLUB February 6 Well. Diary, today was club day. Our club is really an infonnal class and definite proof that you can have fun while you are leaming. Everyo~e takes turns working on different projects. I am working on the stage setting of a play. while some members are costuming dolls. We select. produce. and direct our own plays; we even have our own stage crew and our own make-up artists. Every member has a chance to try her hand at all phases of play production. Remember our public appearance in "Comin' Round the Mountain"?

And to top it off. we marched off the field at the end of the game in the victory formation.

That signified another victory for us. Hurrah!

May 3 Today. dear Diary. you just couldn't help noticing the senior commercial girls. We, were certainly dashing around! We held our annual luncheon. also the final meeting of the Commercial Club to which we invited Sophomores and Juniors who are eligible to join. It was at this luncheon one year ago today that we voted for our officers. Nancy White. President; Marlys Lindgren. Vice-President; Peggy Harris. Secretary; Felice deFrenes. Treasurer.

It was fun sitting around the tables discussing old memories, like the time we all got together and decided we would have a written constitution. Honors to Peggy Harris for putting the idea into effect. I remember the "Novelty Dance". All sorts of prizes were awarded.

The girls were so afraid no one would come, but it turned cut to be the best sport dance of the year.

Lest I forget-the best activity was the expansion of the Service Club. Before Christmas a letter was sent to every one of our students, who is in the service. Believe me. your heart would rejoice at the many letters thanking us for that little something of home the boys wanted so much. In order to keep our Service Club going, we asked for donations. The response from school and community was most generous. What did we do with all the money? We used it for postage. Your bills begin to mount when you put twelve cents postage on every letter. One letter we sent-really it was a joke book-weighed too much for a six center to carry. Every Friday'the girls brought jokes to class; everyone had a part in making each book. If the boys had as big a kick receiving our letters as we did in sending them. our efforts were well rewarded.
