~

I '.

In this, the third volume of the Scrivener, we have endeavored to present a record covering as completely as possible every phase of the student life and the spirit of which Springfield is justly proud.

In whatever respect we have fallen short of our aims, it has been due to the impossibility of setting forth in a single volume a complete resume of this eventful year.

If what this book contains pleases you, the Scri-

vener Staff will feel sufficiently rewarded for the hours which its members have spent in an effort to make this Annual worth-while.

It is the hope of the Staff that this book will bind more closely the ties between the members of the Senior Class and the classes which follow, and that it will prove an aid in keeping alive a fine school spirit for our Alma Mater.

"

I am happy to be living in this changing, challenging and inspiring generation.

One of the major tasks of this age is that of bringing order and understanding to a generation which has inherited turmoil and confusion.

Youth must go forward-and youth will- in the spirit of the Pioneer; it will preserve the best of the culture and traditions of the past, and discard those things which have caused us to fall.

God grant to them the courage and wisdom to preserve our democracy, the life-line of all our liberties- the achievement which has made America the land of hope and glory to millions.

Senior Honor Society Jean Ehlers, Geraldine Jackson, Shirley Burnet, Clifford Tyson.

If the attainment of a desired goal were the end-all of striving, how uninteresting and unfruitful would be our lives after the realization of that goal!

Happily, we are so constituted that, having experienced the joy of achieving, we find ourselves readily acclimated to this place of proficiency and longing for new tasks to accomplish.

May it ever be so with the honor group, those of our number, who on the basis of scholastic consummation have achieved the highest places of the class membership. May success ever attend their striving, and may they have, as long as they live, a penchant that shall impel them to seek finer and nobler undertakings.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the class of 1937, started our six years of Junior-Senior High School in a new and modern building. These events are narrated in an attempt to bring back memories of a grand and glorious four years of High School-years full of color, knowledge, happiness and friendships.

Our class started its Freshman year in 1933, under the sponsorship of Miss Sarah L. Berry and Alexander J. Postpichal. We had as our class officers: Donald Weightman, president; Jean Ehlers, vice president; Geraldine Jackson, secretary; and Katherine Gilpin, treasurer. Those who represented us in the Student Council that year, were: Geraldine Jackson, Katherine Gilpin, Jean Ehlers and Jack McCullough. The Council also joined the Suburban Association that year.

There were quite a few social events to brighten our school life. Our Thanksgiving Day football game with St. Roberts proved quite a battle. Then came the St. Valentine's Dance which will long be remembered. On April 27 we had our third Father and Son's Banquet. Oh, yes! and a Spring Dance.

Do you remember the operetta, "Bon Voyage," directed by Miss Elizabeth Hunter (now Mrs. Parker) given on April 20-21? A grand show, and we all had a fine time.

The only note of sadness during this year was the passing of Edward Turner, the originator of "Tremendous Trifles" and a friend loved by all who knew him.

We were rather late in starting our Sophomore year, due to an epidemic of infantile paralysis, but how we made up for that delay!

Our executives consisted of: Jean Ehlers, president; Robert Ransley, vice president; Geraldine Jackson, secretary; and Evangeline Lohr, treasurer.

Beatrice Fielding, Geraldine Jackson, Doris Justison, and Robert Ransley conveyed our thoughts and opinions to the Council. Those who might have been officers in our class who were claimed by other schools were Peggy Gildner, Gertrude McNally, and Virginia Griscom. However, we gained Priscilla Rand, Dorothy Stegemerten, Evelyn Gooding, John Moore and John Oesterbo.

Among the activities was the cantata, "Hail Messiah," given by the Glee Club on December 21. This fine organization la ter presented an operetta, "In Old Vienna," on May 3-4. Shortly after this we gave our Sophomore Formal on May 14, with Jimmy Daltry's orchestra. The dance is ended, but the memories linger on-and what memories!

There were a number of "firsts" during our Sophomore year. The first Scrivener was issued; the first Senior Dance given on February 29; the first Senior Washington trip; the first May Day program; the first Commencement of Springfield High were held; and the school seal and Alma Mater were chosen.

William R. Emmerling became our new class adviser with Miss Sarah L. Berry. The new officers were: Robert Ransley, president; Jean Ehlers, vice president; Helen Cope, secretary; and Evangeline Lohr, treasurer. In our Student Association we had: Shirley Burnet, Beatrice Fielding, Doris Justison and Clifford Tyson.

Page Thirtr-four

NINETEEN THIRTY-SEVEN

Many colorful activities filled the year with fun and frolic. Can anyone forget our basketball game with Eddystone, which made us the Delaware County champions in the Kiwanis Tournament? Our next event made history.

Ah, yes! "Baby Day" on April 1. Remember how they sent us home "to get properly dressed"---and how most of us stayed home?

Our Junior play was also a happy time for all concerned. "Second Childhood," on April 3-4, brought laughs from a crowded house. Who could help but laugh at the antics of Donald Weightman, John Moore, and an able supporting cast of Carolyn Owens, Geraldine Jackson and many others. Our very efficient coach was Sheldon S. R. Madeira, who gave of his time and talent for this production. Oh, yes, remember rehearsals---and Linton's? "Jerry of Jericho Road," came along on May 15-16 as the Glee Club's annual production.

Here are a few "firsts" of that school year: The forming of the Alumni' Association; the first Alumni Dance, on December 13; the first Leap Year Dance, on February 29; and the first Freshman Party on December 19.

Our year was saddened by the passing of our beloved classmate, Isabel Bolton.

As a group of Seniors we were led by: Jean Ehlers, president; Clifford Tyson, vice president; Beatrice Fielding, secretary; and Marguerite McCleese, treasurer. Our Council members were: Jean Ehlers, vice president; Doris Justison, secretary; Robert Ransley, treasurer; Clifford Tyson, parliamentarian; Beverly Wood and William Thomas, representatives.

The start of the year brought us quickly to our Senior play, "Squar~ Crooks," given on December 11-12. We were again ably coached by Sheldon S. R. Madeira. John Moore, Donald Weightman, Robert Ransley and Richard Sandford furnished the comedy. They were supported by Jean Ehlers, the Irish cop; Helen Cope, the young wife; Carolyn Owens, and a fine cast. Rehearsals meant one late night after another, but how they were enjoyed! On March 4 we gave our Senior Dinner, which filled us as well as our treasury.

Next on the program was "The Captain's Kid," given by the Glee Club on March 20. Many Seniors were included in both the cast and the stage crew.

This Annual was published with Shirley Burnet, editor-in-chief; Marjorie Taber, business manager; and a host of the class as assistants. The editor-inchief of the Spri-Hian was Geraldine Jackson.

The rest of the year was filled with grand and glorious events. The Washington Trip we'll never forget as a place of cherry blossoms, good times, movies, Lafayette Hotel and a welcomed vacation. Our Commencement Week was a busy one. First, came the Baccalaureate service, then Class Night (with plenty of fun and laughs), the Prom, and the climax of our student life-Commencement Night. An impressive program, sad partings- then into the world we went.

The Class Prophecy - - 1937 Setting-A crowded street car.

Time-1947.

I glanced at the date on the newspaper-June, 1947. (Just ten years ago I was graduated from the Springfield High School!) The glaring headline caught my eye-"Satterthwaite Completes First Aerial Non-Stop Flight Around Globe."

The article stated further that the erstwhile Springfieldite, now a famous flyer, with his co-pilot, Dick Sandford, had completed the first official non-stop roundthe-world flight. Upon their arrival in New York City, they were greeted by the unobtrusive Clifford W . Tyson, America's foremost engineer, who had designed the plane. The tense moments which elapsed between the appearance of the plane as an infinitesimal speck on the horizon and its actual landin~ were vividly described by Norman Whitley, America's well-known radio announcer and news commentator. (Remember how Norm used to say- "Who?" "What?" "Why?" "When?" "Where?") The fliers were interviewed by Geraldine L. Jackson, a New York Times reporter, accompanied by her longstanding friend, Shirley Burnet, the well-known educator. Gerry wrote a glowing account of the flight in her easily recognizable journalese style.

My eyes drifted across the page to another article. "Burnley and Mullan, the city's only firm of women auditors, was awarded the contract for checking the books of the First National Bank." This singular honor was announced today by Samuel B. Lawler, president of the bank, and released by his private secretary, Doris Justison.

My attention was attracted to an account of the recent reorganization of the Municipal School Board which stated that Marjorie Taber, progressive young Democratic leader, was appointed president; Evelyn Gooding was named as vice president and Marguerite M. Cleese, secretary. The change was being instituted to further the more progressive school spirit which was was gradually seeping into the present day system. Below' this item, I read an account of the new electron tube invented by Henry Bachofer, chief engineer of R. C. A. As I idly leafed thru the pages, my attention was drawn to the familiar scrawl of Don Weightman beneath a cartoon depicting in caricature the activities of the two novices on the police force, Bill Colborn and Irving Hurley.'

Their latest escapade was Bill's giving Irving a ticket for speeding on Main Street.

At the top of the following page was a picture. I read the caption, "Bob Ransley's 'Melodiers' Now OCCUpy the Spot on the Famous Tapioca Hour."

Much of the credit for his securing the contract for this engagement belongs to the director and writer of his programs, Evangeline Lohr. Also appearing on the bill was Robert Milne, accomplished pianist and famed writer of the scores for the "Gold Diggers" from 1942 to 1947. Helen Cope, foremost blues singer of the air waves, was also featured. Joe Beegle, Ohio's favorite master of ceremonies, kept the program moving quite merrily with his effervescent humor.

The program was made complete by Jane Bilger's talks on charm and personality,

On the woman's page I saw a column written by Jayne Gilday, The current styles and latest fashions were discussed at great length by this prominent dress designer of the day. A feature story, "Nights in Our Nation's Capital" was written by Sylvia Kirk, Pulitzer prize winner in 1946, At the bottom of the following page I read another article. It told of a new Linton's, opening on Spruce Street. The new waitresses were listed. Among the names, I discovered those of Ruth Patterson and Ernestine CoIl. The picture page was devoted to some of the more outstanding photographs from Anton Bornman's exhibit at the Bellevue-Stratford, This was the the same Bornman we knew as "Hairy," One of the best pictures in the group was a "shot" of Washington's tomb at Mount Vernon- a relic of our Senior Trip.

Listed among the advertisers were several of my .old classmates: Wilson and Schmidt, Attorneys-at-law; Taylor and Strawley, Inc., Beauticians; Reeps :::md Owens, School of Nursing; and Moore, Research Laboratories.

On the pages of local school news, I saw an account of Coach Ehlers' Athletic program at Springfield High School, where Bill Thomas was principal.

Another article told of Miss Marjorie MacCorkell's experimental school at Hadley. Here the new theories of Priscilla Rand, the noted child psychologist, were tried by Miss MacCorkell and her able assistant, Beverly Wood.

In the section of religious news was an article written by Dorothy Stegemerten , the Arctic missionary, who told of her activities in the frozen North with her co-worker, Kathryn Reynolds. Marjorie Calder's organ recital was enthusiastically praised by Beatrice Fielding, the human-interest reporter for the Press.

I heard the conductor call my station, and, as I hastily reached for my fare, I was assured that the class of '37 had made its mark in the world.

THE WASHINGTON TRIP We might have started promptly had Dick Sandford been on time, but where "Sleepy" is concerned, no time records can be set.

A Greyhound bus filled to capacity with anxious Seniors, the driver, Jack Aspen; and a guide, Barney McGuire; (who aided tremendously in the success of the trip) departed for Washington on April 7 to spend three long-waited-for days.

It was not long before our orchestra, consisting of Bill Colborn, Don Weightman, Tom Satterthwaite, and Henry Bachofer, entertained us. This was the dynamite which caused the boom! Everyone burst forth into song, to be sure.

Our first stop was Conawingo Dam. valves and generators.

Here we learned all about butterfly

We continued to the hotel and there ate lunch at one-thirty. By this time we had lost all interest in food because of a pre-luncheon at Touristown.

After having settled ourselves at the hotel, we proceeded on a sight-seeing tour. First, we observed the Lincoln Memorial. From Mt. Vernon, our next stop, we came out tired and exhausted, but with sufficient strength left to enjoy the beautiful landscape of the surrounding country. Everyone fortunate enough to possess a camera took advantage of this opportunity. It was here that the well-known "beef-trust" posed on the banks of the Potomac. In Alexandria, the schoolhouse with the outside steps took our interest. The time remaining was spent in viewing the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the New Amphitheater. As we passed through each building, one could hear Marjorie Taber counting steps. There was one more stop, at Fort Meyer, before we returned to Washington.

Previous to eating dinner, we were permitted to hear "Little Orphan Annie" on our two-stationed radios. After dinner was served, the bus, filled once more, started for the Congressional Library. Wednesday night was "free night," and everyone scattered hither and thither. Those who wanted to see the airport remained on the bus. A crowd of us enjoyed the seven-minute airplane ride over Washington.

At the hotel the girls gathered in room 308 while the boys had their fun in room 215. It was in that room that Norman Wihtley had chills because "Cow's" feet stuck out. Norm was deprived of his share of the covers.

Three-thirty brought curiosity to the girls and this led to the roof garden.

In the meantime, some boys were loose in taxi-cabs.

And so to bed at four-thirty with the exception of Syl who was patiently keeping watch over her sleeping roommates.

All were up early next morn. The boys were ready at five o'clock to go horseback-riding. Upon arriving at the stables they found the horses not groomed, so they went bicycling with the girls. After an hour of this the riders were in pretty bad shape. Some felt quite refreshed-to their astonishment!

NINETEEN THIRTY-SEVEN

The party assembled once more at the breakfast table. A real treat was in store for them-hash! But Shirl had something different-creamed fishsuper-creamed. Following this meal, a few went out to buy their breakfast.

Very little time was given, for a full day had been planned.

First on the program was the Washington Monument. Only a few had the courage to walk up the steps. Those who did will hold it in their memory to their dying day.

In the Pan-American building we saw the eighth wonder of the world. It was a parrot which spoke three different languages. He was frequently seen dashing among the palms.

The final stop before lunch was at the White House.

To our surprise, we had quite mammoth appetites and were thankful to sit down to enjoy our lunch. As was always the case at mealtime, everyone dived into the bread basket to appease his gnawing stomach before anything was served. Someone's pet fly became loose and caused quite a disturbance when it rested on the butter dish.

Again we filed into the bus and set out for the Capitol. surrounding it we had our pictures taken.

On the grounds

The United States Supreme Court building was next on our itinerary. This edifice was rivaled only by the impressive Franciscan Monastery.

Just before we arrived at Saint Albans Cathedral, it rained. But that didn't stop us. Each person wrapped a seat cover around his head and made a wild dash for the church. Who should we find there but Upper Darby, who had followed us around all day.

Thursday night after dinner, plans were changed on account of rain.

Another "free night" was in store for us. What anyone did that night is hard to tell.

That night when all came back to the hotel and were settled, a strange man (whom we all knew) was seen parading back and forth. Several girls went quickly to the telephone. Numerous complaints were received at the desk. The inquiry proved, to their dismay, it was none other than the house detective. (What a joke!)

All went well during the night and the following morning all arose (after a fashion) and walked down to breakfast half-dazed. This was our last meal at the hotel, for we were to leave as soon as breakfast was over. There was a last wild scramble for souvenirs before we finally packed our bags.

The last stop in Washington. was at the Smithsonian Institute. Instead of viewing this Institute, many explored enough five and tens to take up an hour and then returned to the bus. (Of course, this was off the itinerary).

We lunched at Carvel Hall in Annapolis, Maryland. The class was very much impressed by the drills which it was fortunate enough to witness. (There's something about a sailor!)

After two more stops were made, we came home amid singing, laughter, and the blowing of horns.

REVERIE While sitting in a class one day, My thoughts were oh! so far away: Then suddenly upon me thrust, A paper stating that and thus.

I heard a voice saying to me, "Write your name as you want it to be, 'Tis for your diploma that comes this year."

And from my eye rolled down a tear.

Was my dream at last come true?

Was I really to say adieu To my Alma Mater dear?

Can it be true after all these years?

Varsity Football Our 1936 team lacked that something necessary to make it a truly great team. Although it won only one and tied one out of eight games on schedule, the boys displayed skill and teamwork and played good, clean football throughout the season.

Graduation hits the squad rather hard: Colborn, Ehlers and Hurley will be missing when the initial practice is called next season. Undoubtedly the following: Rudolph, Denmead, Beatty, McCarty, Thomas and Harris, should develop into varsity material during the 1937 season.

The varsity consisted of: Robert Moffett, L.E. Jean Ehlers, L.T. Charles Reeps, L.G. Robert Lungren, C. Ambrose MacGrath, RG.

Junior High Football The Junior High eleven embarked on the 1936 football season by facing Ridley Park whom they defeated seven to nothing. The only defeat the team suffered was from Media Sophomores.

The squad, though small, was scrappy. Under the careful direction of Mr. Schopf, a fighting team was whipped together.

Figures show that they won four games and lost one. Much credit must be given to Coach Schopf for his untiring efforts and to his scrubs whose daily practices against the Junior Varsity made is possible to produce this fighting squad, The eleven consisted of: William Brickley, L.H.

Girls¡ Varsity Basketball Another interesting, though not so successful as hoped for, season was enjoyed this year by our plucky Varsity outfit. Springfield opened the 1936-37 Court with a new type of game called Two Court Basketball. More strength and force as a team with three guards and three forwards was evident.

The basketeers seemed to take to the new way of playing with mudh enthusiasm.

The team regrets the loss of Captain Evangeline Lohr and Kathryn Reynolds by graduation, but those left should prove the stimuli for a 1938 winning sextet.

Junior High Varsity Basketball Rah for the Junior High's! We were certainly glad to see you actively participating in so many sports. It was surprising and gratifying to see you attempt to keep up the sports prestige which you already had gained in football.

Although not so successful in piling up the score, as you had hoped, you were more than successful in keeping up the old-time fight and keeping that old ball passing right along that line. Most of all you were good sports.

Practically every member of the squad agreed to report daily for practice -incidentally all were present at each.

Track Early this spring, when Mr. Schopf issued a call for track candidates, we were surprised at the large number which turned out. After a few practices it was also evident that these men were not only numerous but versatile.

In addition to those veterans from last year's famous relay team, Neal Daltry and Jack Payne, Willard Wright and William Bathgate comprised the squad which this year already has won the one-mile race of the Delaware County Meet and the one-mile heat at Penn.

Besides the relay quartet there were several special-event men who have merited mention here: Winfild Gallagher, pole vault; Jean Ehlers, discus throw; William Colborn, shot put; William Bathgate, hurdle; William Thomas, sprint.

The spirit with which the leaders commenced the year has prevailed throughout, and through the efforts of the administration and coach they have infused much of this fine spirit of good sportsmanship into the student body which they led. This is sufficient proof of the worth and future success of cheerleading.

Senior Student Council The Senior Council, the Senior High's official governing body, played an important part in the making of future civic leaders, and in the regulation o:li law and order in the school. The Council attempted to regulate hall traffic.

It also considered school problems, and .was instrumental in the plans for an academic letter.

Many worth-while projects were produced as a result of the untiring efforts of the Council which provided for a student Tribunal to consider minor offenses.

Library Club From the very beginning of this school year the Library Club has been striving to get people better acquainted with many of the worth-while books in the library. Last fall during Book Week an exhibition of new books was held in the library and a play entitled the "Four Marys" was given in the auditorium.

To culminte the week's activities, a tea for the mothers and teachers was given to qcquaint them with what the club was doing.

During the school year the club has mended and kept the books in good condition. They took an inventory of the books before the closing of school.

Commercial 'Club In the beginning of December, the Commercial Club was organized for the purpose of stimulating more interest in the commercial classes.

The Juniors and Sophomores were taken into the Club at a luncheon held in the cafeteria on April 6. Dr. Butler, a member of the Temple survey committee, gave a short talk on the "Value of Clubs in School Life."

A humorous sketch entitled "Boss vs. Secretary" was given in the auditorium by the members of the club on May 7.

The typing team, consisting of members of the club, competed with the typing teams of other schools in the county on May 5.

Spri-Hian With an efficient staff of news and feature writers, columnists, and business men, the first issue of the sixth volume was published on October 7.

This year was one in which the paper developed a permanent front page feature, a sports column, and a second page cartoon. A column entitled "Five Years Ago," which gleaned new items from previous volumes, was also introduced.

A change was made in the handling of news. Instead of having page editors, the entire publication was placed in charge of the managing and news editors.

A banner was awarded each issue to the Junior High home-room which sold the highest percentage of papers.

When the term's achievements are reviewed, it will be deemed one of the most outstanding school features. In all probability the staff will lay down its pens with much regret.

Scrivener Hard work produces the best results. We found evidence of this in the way the Staff has endeavored to present a number of "firsts" in Springfield's third publication.

The scope of activities was more extensive this year than ever before, since many of the Junior High's activities were included. In addition to our sports features, many newly organized clubs were incorporated.

It is the desire of the outgoing Staff that many under classmen be added to succeeding staffs.

Among This Year's Achievements During the past school term Springfield High School has achieved the certification of not onl/'the State Department, but also of the Middle States, Atlantic and Maryland Association, which is even a greater honor. This recognition made Springfield an accredited school. Only three hundred schools out of twelve-hundred are on this accredited list. Some of the fields in which the school must maintain a high standard are organization and administration of schocil, the preparation of the teachers, the teaching load, the program of studies, and the physical equipment of the school. Pupils entering college will find this rating to their advantage. ,This year in Springfield High School there has been a decided improvement in the athletic field. The Works Progress Administration supplied the labor for this essential betterment of our school campus. The hockey field maintained relatively the same position. A new baseball diamond was constructed beside the hockey field. Surrounding the football field a fine track was laid. The broad-jump and pole-vaulting pits were placed between the track and the football field. Four tennis courts were also additions to this modern lay-out.

Last but not least was the Temple survey made during the latter part of this school term. At the time this Annual went to press, no definite information had been secured, for no reports had been sent. However, an extensive examination was made of the financial program of the schooL the curriculum, pupil's intelligence and ability, observation of teachers in their work, and investigation of extra-curricular activities. This survey was accomplished for the direct benefit of the school. In this way the School Board was able to discover in what respects our school excelled, and also in what ways the school was deficient. Thus Springfield High School endeavored to raise its standard and to improve its cur:dculilm.

It's the age of a new photography! Almost magical has been the development of equipment; surprising h as been the photographer's cleverness and skill in using this new equipment, and most avid has been the college and school appetite for results of this definitely forward step in photography.

This is the story of a studio that has kept abreast of the times, that has acquired the new equipment and whose operators have enthusiastically developed the technique of this new photography. This extra expense has been incurred and the effort extended with the sincere hope of offering to the colleges and schools a studio capable of producing today's modern photography .

When skill and service of such h igh order are available today, there is no reason why colleges and schools need accept mediocre photography.
