The last two years of the class of 1943 in Springfield High School, have been vastly different from those experienced by other classes. This difference brought to the members of the class many new problems with which they were uncertain as to the best means of solution. In their bewilderment, they remembered a trusted friend, and advisor, of their earlier school days. This friend-our Supervising Principal, Mr. Harvey C. Sabold, was just the person they needed to help them out of their difficulties. And help them he did!

Mr. Sabold was not only ready and willing to give suggestions relative to the problem immediately at hand, but he also extended invaluable advice which would be of priceless value in the future. His advice and counsel have not only aided and guided us in the past, but will continue to be of inestimable worth in the many years ahead of us. Each member of the graduating class of 1943 heartily expresses his thanks and gratitude to Mr. Sabold for his untiring efforts in their behalf.

P R I N C I

The members of the class of 1943 will never forget the friendly, helping hand of the Principal of Springfield High SchooL Mr. Milton 1. Smith. No matter what perplexity they were in, they knew that Mr. Smith would never fail them. If they needed an adjustment made in their daily curriculum about which they were uncertain, there was never the slightest hesitation as to whom they should turn. As if automatically controlled, their footsteps turned toward the desk of the "ever ready to be of service" Mr. Smith. The students knew that when they turned to leave that often frequented desk, their questions would be answered, and their problems solved. Many of the class members of '43 have either gone into the Service of our country, or expect to do so in the near future. These boys will be ever grateful to Mr. Smith for the guidance and aid which he rendered them. Every member of the class echoes the words"Thank you, Mr. Smith!"

Senior Play 'WHAT A LIFE'

The Senior Class of Springfield High School presented on March 12-13, 1943, the well known Broadway comedy hit "What A Life!."

The play centers around Henry Aldrich and his troubles -in school.

The scene takes place in the Principal's office where Henry seems to spend most of his time.

Henry is sent to the office for talking in class. While in the office, waiting for the Principal. Mr. Bradley (Norris Rumsey), Henry meets Barbara Pearson (Marilyn Borgh) and gets a crush on her. He asks her to the dance.

When Mr. Bradley sees Henry he tells Henry to go back to class. But this seems to be Henry's bad day. Henry's mother (Marilyn

Tircuit) comes to the school to look over Henry's scholastic record, which isn't what you would call brilliaht. Mrs. Aldrich informs Henry he must get the highest mark in his history exam if he wishes to take Barbara to the dance. Not only does Henry get in trouble for copying his history test from George Bigelow's (Herbert Swing) paper, but Henry is expelled from school for stealing!

Mr. Nelson (Robert Frank) finally comes to Henry's rescue by proving Henry didn't steal.

Then everyone decides that it would be better if Henry would go to art school where he can develop his talent of drawing into better channels than drawing cartoons of his teachers.

The supporting cast consisted of: Miss Shea Mr. Patterson Miss Pike Bill Miss Eggleston Miss Johnson Mr. Vecchitto Gertie Miss Wheeler Mr. Ferguson Mary Students

Patty Hoppes Carl DeMartino Carolyn Detz Harold Sanderson Marjorie Downes Norma Lurwick Ed. Gilday Kay Steinbach Betty Wilson Bill O'Brien Jean Montgomery jean Kellet, Dorothy Wolfe, Eugenia Griffith, John Maginnis, George McGrath

Much credit goes to Miss Brown for her fine coaching of the play. Many thanks also go to those behind the scenes.

ALMA MATER Our Springfield High SchooL thou noble one and true, To thee we sing again of our gold and blue.

Hearts proud and loyal in song here unite, To spread abroad the fame of thy great power and might.

And may thy sons be faithful to thy dear memory Hail our Alma Mater, we ere 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 ere we befall, Love, honor, praise, and glory thou wilt here from all And ever sweetly ringing, the name we hold so dear, Voices shout in memory 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 bright 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.

Sylvia MacDonald

"Our Springfield High Schoo!!" What a thrill every Springfield student gets as he sings those words. It must have been such a feeling that the author of our Alma Mater felt as she wrote the words and music to this beloved anthem. The Alma Mater was written by Sylvia MacDonald Merrill, a graduate of the class of 1936. Mrs. Merrill will long be revered in the halls of Springfield High School. She is one of the most outstanding and accomplished alumnae of our school. The Alma Mater, whicr, has come to mean so much to Springfield's students, was the winning entry of a contest which was sponsored to obtain a song which symbolized the feelings of Springfield High School's alumni and under-graduates.

"Time ever flowing. now bids us to go-How often we will ponder, on scenes of our student life, And we'll smile and murmur the name of Springfield High."

Braving the winter snows and cold. the "thin-clads" were seen on the track preparing for another year of establishing Springfield's name at the meets of the season. Under the speedy running and leadership of Captain "Chink" Carlson, the boys made themselves known in the running events and relays, with the field men knocking off those much-needed extra points to keep Springfield a strong contender. With such individuals as Bill Carlson and Eob Frank taking the 440, Tom Walsh and Walt Kohl copping places in the sprints; "Sandi' 'Sanderson dominating the half-mile; Jack Hendren and John Calder showing in the mile at every meet; fleet-footed Bob Ludman taking places every time in the hurdles; and Richy Lawrence leaping out for a sure place in the broad jump, Springfield's Team ranked high. "Weight men" such as Rumsey and Otton in the discus, and Will Smedley, "strong arm man" in the shot, and "Spike" Gilday throwing the spear, added to a very successful season.

Starting off with a bang. Springfield Basketeers looked as if they were headed for the championship; but with the loss of their "tall man" and consistent scorer. "Chuck" Clark. the Cougars were left with a very large gap in their offensive and defensive play.

Although the loss of their pivot-man meant that Springfield was a weaker team, they still remained a strong COlltender in the league due to the startling floor play of Co-captains Bob Ludman and Fred Dihlmann, along with outstanding support of Bud Wright and "Reds" Conwell.

The highlight of the season was the tremendous defeat of Clifton Heights, 42-21.

The 1943 edition of the girls' basketball team embarked on their new career under the able leadership of their new coach, Miss Cheyney. With four Varsity members reporting back for service, they looked on to the future with great expectations. The first game of the season proved to be successful by defeating Clifton Heights.

The most exciting game of the season was the defeat of unbeaten Notre Dame. The team suffered only two defeats which were close ones. The cooperation of the team under Captain Marilyn Borgh was responsible for their success. Milli,= Kelso was elected captain for next year's team.

Last year, the A Cappella Choir was given one period a week in which to practice. At this time the performances of the group were many including services and a few radio broadcasts. Last year the choir was chosen Southeastern Pennsylvania Forensic champions and ~~ was placed in the final state contest at Eloomsburg, Pennsylvania. This year J~ the choir and boys' ensemble have ' taken on the job of keeping up morale. ":;' Minor credit is now given to participants ... and three periods a week are devo~ed 0 to practice.

At last, Springfield High School has a full-fledged band! As an outgrowth of the school instrumental classes it was organized by Mr. von Muller in the fall of 1939, and under his guidance it has progressed rapidly. Since its organization four years ago, the band has been in constant activity, acquiring new music and instruments and adding new members.

The Band Mothers' Organization sponsored a successful bazaar in 1941 and used the proceeds to purchase uniforms. Since then members are splendidly attired in their blue and gold uniforms at all public performances.

The band has been faithful in many school and community activities this year. They performed with great succeS3 during the Bond Drive held in November and December. Weare proud of this organization which has added color and spirit to football games, assemblies, and patriotic programs.

The Student Council of our Springfield High School has been accepted as the students' own government. From its earliest beginnings, the Council has upheld the high ideals and standards which we the students like to think are symbolic of our Alma Mater.

Every year the student body has gone about electing its President and Vice President with great seriousness of purpose. The current Council submits a list of four candidates to the students. These candidates present their election platforms to the student body in an assembly program. After hearing the speeches, the students return to their rooms to carry out one of the most important functions of democracy-that of choosing leaders. The advisers of the Council this year have been Mr. Milton L. Smith and Mr. Richard K. Smith.

During this 1942-1943 school term, life around Springfield High School was changed radically by the war. This vast alteration necessitated some changes in the Student Government. These changes were immediately accomplished, and the students learned to look up to their governing body with respect. Yes, we must concede orchids to our Student Council-led by Carl De Martino-for its beneficient part in helping to keep the school up to its war-time tempo.

The Council sponsored a War S!amp campaign in which the Students cooperated to the fullest extent. The $1500 goal was reached weeks before the close of the term. It also joined with the School Eoard and bought a Service Flag which was dedicated to those who have gone forth from Springfield High School to serve their country.

In all its work the Council maintained its reputation as "a government of the studentl?, by the students, and for the st~dents."

JUNIOR STUDENT COUNCIL First Row. (L. to R.): D. Palton, B. Jackson, J. Korn (Treasurer), K. Smith (V. President), E. Ludman (President), N. Suplee (Secretary), P. Shea (Sergeant-at-Arms), H. Krebs, T. Casey.

Third Row: R. Glenn, R. Parrish, G. HilL R. Herbert, J. Koetzle, S. McGrath, M. Panczer, R. Steele.

The Junior Student Council is not an organization to be laid aside for its inactivity because it has been one of the most vital and enthusiastic' organizations of the Junior High School.

With Mr. Milton Smith presiding at each meeting, the council congregates every week to discuss the problems concerning the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades.

Edward Ludman was elected president; Katherine Smith, vice-president; Nancy Jane Supplee, secretary; Jack Korn, treasurer, and Paul Shea, sergeantat-arms.

The council has built bicycle racks for those students desiring to ride their bikes to school. At first there was some trouble concerning students who took advantage of the other students' bikes, but the council has provided a plan whereby each bicycle would be kept safe.

The gym was opened at lunch time by the council for those boys and girls who wished to play basketball. A special committee was appointed to carry through this plan, which has been very successful.

The Junior High, as well as the Senior High School, has been urged by the council to buy defense stamps. On an average, $30.00 worth of stamps has been sold each week.

THE BOARD OF MONITORS First Row. (L. to R.l: J. Taylor, C. DeMartino, B. Frank, B. Olton, J. Hendren, J. Sheaffer, R. Virgin.

Third Row: E. Gilday, J. Frank, C. Gilday. W. Yenney, W. Smedley.

The Board of Monitors has been in existence four years. It was designed to govern the conduct of the student body. between the daily class periods. in the halls. and the general conduct of the students during school hours. Bill Otton was chosen to serve as the chairman of the monitors at the beginning of the school term. For the first time the monitors were identified by the emblem which they wore on their arm. The Monitor Squad has increased its membership this year because of the greater number of students; therefore. monitors are located on all points of congestion. Order is kept. but the students are still free to do whatever they wish. in an obedient manner. The boys 'are chosen at the beginning of the year and are allowed to remain as long as their scholastic standing is average. Junior members who are on the waiting list will be given first choice next year. Under the guidance of Mr. Smith and Mr. Thomas, and the jurisdiction of the chairman, the Board of Monitors acts somewhat independently.

The war had no apparent effect upon the club, and under the guidance of Marilyn Tircuit, President, gave some outstanding performances.

They ably entertained us with four well chosen plays, "Love in Bloom," "The Second Marriage of Santa Claus," "Madness in Triple Time" and "These Things Are Ours."

The bright lights of the authentic theatre beckoned them, and as a result they attended one of the better plays of the season, "Junior Miss."

Second Row: N. Saunders. M. Robinson. M. Brandhof. J. Smith, M. Hurtt. S. Ginther. B. Robinson, J. Wesley.

Once more the Library Club has served our school to the best of its ability, and has kept things running at the usual pace.

Despite the lack of a special period in which to meet, the Club faithfully performed their usual tasks of checking out books, dusting shelves, and doing all the other jobs that are connected with a library.

They best showed their talents as librarians at the time of Miss Geiger's illness, when they kept the library open and functioning. This was a "tough job," but they performed it with a smile, and did a good job of it. As usual this small but efficient Club c~me through with "flying colors."

SPRI~HIAN

"Spri-Hian," the official school publication, was started as a club project almost ten years ago.

It was continued as a full time news organization until this year, when, owing to priorities and difficulties of transportation, the regular monthly issue has been curtailed.

This year Evelyn Durst and Henry "Hank" Evans have been in charge of production.. They have had many problems to face, but they realize that the "war effort" comes first in the lives of Springfield High students.
