I hope you had the time of your life. So make the best of this test and don't ask why. It's not a question but a lesson learned in time. It's something unpredictable But in the end it's right.

Orchestra

Love That Sound!

Jazz Band

Under the leadership of Mr. Thompson the jazz band, though small in number, has a big sound. Separate from the band, these SHS students get together after school and play their instruments that they love. The jazz band did a phenomenal job this year!

Helping Others FCCLA

Family Career and Community Leaders of America also known as FCCLA is a new organization that gets together and completes projects that help our community. This year they made pillow cases for cancer patients. The group also pitched in with food donations and many other projects.

Got Game?

Strategic Gaming Club

The girls and boys of the Strategic Gaming Club come together after school a few times a month in Mr. Scroggin's room to have fun and battle each other in video games. Just a few games they enjoy include Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Counterstrike and Close Range. With meeting new people and playing in the Gaming Club, students share strategies and techniques to reach that new goal.

Saving the Planet

Green Teens

Green Teens goal is to make Springfield High School a more eco-friendly school. These students work hard to make a difference. One way they are helping is by making a lid for the recycling cans to ensure that only paper is put into these cans. By just these little actions, Green Teens is showing us that even something this little can make a big difference.

Molding the Clay

Clay Club

Clay Club meets every Tuesday after school and molds clay into masterpieces. These students love shaping clay into something beautiful and they do a great job. Ms. Belton encourages these students to be original and just be as creative as they can be. With this club students get to use their imagination to create pieces that may be featured at COTA

Simply Animated

Anime Club

Anime Club is for those students at SHS that love anime. During these meetings students watch anime movies, draw, and share their Anime pieces with each other. These students are a very talented group who has real dedication. The passion these students show for this hobby really shows in their work. Through the anime club kids get a chance to learn and expand on the talents they have.

Having Fun . . .

Ski & Adventure Club

Lead by Mrs. Driks-Moore and Mrs. Naismith, the Ski and Adventure Club travels to enjoy the best of what the area offers. The annual weekend trip to Vermont was a success. Students also traveled to Blue Mountain and other ski resorts. The adventure part took the students to Hershey Park in October and ropes courses later in the year. The Ski and Adventure Club gives students a chance to go on exciting trips throughout the year. 60

Together We Can . . .

Community Service Club

Raking leaves, field day, and Halloween fun nights are just a few of the events the students of the Community Service club helped out with. They visit the local schools and helped with decorating, helped build gingerbread houses, and many other school activities. In this club you get to help the community out in ways that you would never think of. 61

Steering in the right direction

S.A.D.D.

The students of Springfield join together for the cause of Students Against Destructive Decisions. Each year SADD hosts the Alternative Beverage Day and many other activities. Red Ribbon week is a popular hit, involving all of the cars in the parking lots getting red ribbons to show and remind the significance of this cause. Many students keep the ribbons on until they are shredded and worn away. Also, SADD raises money through their Valentine's Day rose sale. This brings in a lot of money to the cause and helps to celebrate the holiday in a fun way. SADD is a nation-wide club, in sponsorship with Mothers Against Drunk Driving, and is a worthy cause that these students are showing their dedication.

Looking To The Future . . .

FBLA

Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) is a group of students that have the leadership skills and qualities that will help them later when it comes to careers in business. The group of students travels to many competitions. This year numerous students ended up in Hershey for the state competition which is a great achievement for them and for the group. Mike Dolio came in first for his event and continued on in the competition in California. This club is a great opportunity for students to find out if they have a future in a business career.

They donated their tent along side of hundreds more. We look forward to seeing their NAHS wall during Celebration.

Behind the Curtain

Stage Crew & Pit Band

All of our plays and musicals would not be as good as they are without these guys. Stage crew and pit band hold the show together behind the scenes. Music Man, our biggest performance was possible with the help of the pit band and the stage crew that know what to do under the pressure of the theater. 67

LEND AN EAR . . .

TO A PEER

Willkommen en Springfield

German Exchange

This year Springfield students were involved in a German Exchange program. With the help and guidance of Senior Williams and Mrs. Naismith, students were given the chance to live with a group of German students and vice versa. These students attended school here at Springfield with their host families and learned the Springfield way of life. They were involved in classes and were able to shadow two different school days of the students. This was the "Adopt a German Day". All of the students were welcomed and very much liked by the Springfield students. We were honored to be able to help them enjoy their American experience.

With addressing local news, sports, entertainment and opinions this newspaper is a hit when it comes off the shelves about 6 times a year.

Whatcha Readin'?

Awesome Book

The Awesome Book Club at Springfield High School is full of students that love reading. They meet one Wednesday a month at Panera Bread, where they discuss that month's book.

Prompt Action

Amnesty International

When it comes to letter writing, this group is one of the best in the school. These students appreciate the rights that we all have as United States citizens. They also care for those whose governments are not granting them their rights. They do their best to make their voices heard for those whose voices are silenced.

Healthy Choices

Med-Tech

These Springfield students know exactly where they want to be in their careers. In association with Delaware County, we have students involved in programs titled Med-tech. Students are able to learn and participate in their preferred field of studies. With tests and projects just like school, students get to study, research and practice under their profession of choice. Our Springfield students have a lot of fun with these and succeed every year. We also have a Vo-tech program which allows students to learn about other careers such as a cosmetologist, automobile mechanic, automotive technician, contractor and many more. Unfortunately we were not able to acquire Vo-tech pictures, we apologize to those students.

The Piggy Bank

Franklin Credit Union The Franklin Mint Crediit Union was rolling in the dough once again. Aside from providing banking assistance to the students of SHS, the Credit Union also exposes some of students the banking profession. Every member works hard to ensure your money is safe.

Shaping the School

Student Council

The Students Council shapes our school by keeping eveything in order. With proms and dances Student Council keeps the school having fun.

President - Maddie Poplawski Vice-President - Shannon Sell Secretary - Mallory Sminkey Treasurer- Jeremy Methven Historian - Kevin Stewart Community Service Coorinator - Emily Finnegan Dance Coordinator - Danielle Fellona School Board Interns - Chris Pierangeli & Hayden Dahmm Four of the councils members preparing for a school board meeting. 77

Our apologies go out to... We apologize to the many clubs and activities that did not make it in this year. Due to teacher negotiations it was hard for clubs to meet and therefore we have a lack of pictures.

Music Man

Winter Musical

The Music Man this year was a huge success. "One of the best musicals Springfield has had in ages", many spectators raved. Many hours of cast, stage crew, pit band and directors were spent to put this sold out show together and it was well worth it. Good job to all who were involved. It definitely was a success. 83

The Dynasty... The third annual Powder Puff football game was held this year on November 13th. The juniors put up a good fight but the senior "dynasty" team defeated once again. The dynasty team won against the last year's seniors and continued their streak this year. The football players coached the girls from teams of the juniors and seniors, as they played each other. The final score was 27-0, but it was a good game. In the end all of the proceeds went for the kids. From this game we raised $1,200 for the Dance Marathon. Next year hopefully the juniors will be able to overcome this loss.

Continues Powder Puff

The Build Up . . .

In order to make this years Steve Stefani Dance Marathon a success many factors helped us raise our money. Students stood outside of our local Wawa "canning" for money, and earned a good amount that wentto Thon. Also, students vollunteered for a babysitting night, along with other activities.. Along with the Powder Puff football game, students donated money to be involved in the Pie Eating Contest at school. This year Mr. McCann took home the title. The leadership team worked hard to teach the line dance and decorate as our record breaking Dance Marathon came close.

On March 27th, the parents, teachers, students, and community members all got involved to help the Four Diamonds Fund. This year Springfield High School hosted many guests including Joe Sestak, John Main, the Bush family, the Danzi family and also the Meli family. Students stayed on their feet for 15 hours getting involved in activities such as floor hockey, dodgeball, and crafts for the kids. Throughout these hours students danced to techno music, "old school" music, and many more themed hours. At the end of 15 hours and 15 line dances, along with sore feet and aching bodies, it was all worth it. Because of the economic state that our nation is in we shot for the goal of $80,000. With the community s dedication and a great leadership team run by Mr. Gildea and Tara Tayan we surpassed our goal of $80,000 tremendously. SHS is now number one for mini-thons in the state. This is our second year in a row as top in the state. Springfield High School's Steve Stefani Dance Marathon of 2009 raised the record breaking total of $110,336.85 FOR THE KIDS! 0

For The Kids 89

Alternative Beverage Day Alternative Beverage Day, sponsored by students against destructive decisions encourages students to stay safe through the holidays. This is an ongoing tradition for Springfield High School, where the band plays and students socialize in the cafeteria. Hot chocolate, apple cider, and other holiday foods are also a plus. Since this is the last day before winter break many dress up and get into the holiday spirit, with sweaters and hats and even themed shirts.

World Champions!!!!

Another major event that occured doing the 2009 season for the Philles is that we lost the voice of the game. On Apriil 13,2009 Harry Kalas had died doing the thing that

20 years in the making the Philadelphia Phlil ies were able to finally bring it home. The city of brotherly love and the students of Springfield High School lined the streets to cheer on the World Series team as they traveled down the streets of Philadelphia to make their way to their home field of Citizens Bank Park to celebrate their winning season. 91

Making History Close-Up This year ten Springfield students had the chance to experience the inauguration Close-Up . With this program these students were able to go to the nation s capital to witness the inauguration of President Barack Obama. These ten students were able to join with students from all over the country and share this experience. Meeting Joe Sestak and visiting various monuments were just a few activities they participated in. Students also had the chance to see the inaugural concert, and even had their own inaugural ball to end to inauguration experience. In just a week these ten students met new friends and had a the chance of a lifetime to see history in the making. 1

Nominees

This year on January 20, 2009 President Barack Obama was elected into office. As the Bush administration was leaving, Obama s office stepped in. Democratic nominee Barack Obama had worked hard with debates, rallies and commercials to boost his campaign to finally win over Republican nominee John McCain in the presidential race. With Joe Biden as vice president, Obama was sworn in with his family right by his side.

Sarah Palin, the Governor of Alaska, was on the Republican ticket with John McCain as Vice-Presiden t.

John McCain, the senator from Arizona was the Republican nominee running against Barack Obama for the 2009 term presidency. 4. 93

In the news... This year brought out the worst economic conditions since the Great Depression. The stock market crashed and caused many job losses. The economic conditions were a major factor in the recent election. Now with the Stimulus Plan from president Obama the economy will hopefully be going in the right direction.

The summer Olympics also brought out a new star, Michael Phelps. He now holds the record of 14 Olympic gold medals; the most by any Olympian. Along with the highlights of this school year, we also lost a few key members to the public eye. One including Bernie Mac who starred in The Bernie Mac Show, Charlie's Angels, Ocean's Eleven and many more hits. Hollywood also lost a famous Natasha Richardson who was known for her performances in the London theatres and starring in movies like The Parent Trap and Maid in 94

Slumdog Millionaire takes over the Oscars.

2008-2009

We Watch Dawkins Fly Away

This school year of 2008-2009 gave us many headlines. These of course included the big events like the election, stock market crash, and the Olympics; just to name a few. Also in the line of sports we had the Pittsburgh Steelers win the Superbowl and the Phillies take home the World Series. Slumdog Millionaire was a hit along with High School Musical 3 hitting the big screen. Country Singer Taylor Swift also became one the big break out stars of the year. Many stories hit the headlines, this page just captures a few.

Twilight, the movie premiered in November as a box office hit. Based on the popular book by Stepanie Meyer, it is about a teenage girl risking it all when she falls in love with a vampire. This movie gave the lead actor, Robert Pattinson his breakout role. Fans have lined up for hours to meet him, the famous "Edward". Plans are already set for the next in the series, New Moon to premiere.

On the left, we had a miracle on the Hudson. Pilot Sullenberger's plane hit a bird and needed to land. He landed the plane safely onto the river and every single passenger evacuated and survived this incredible landing.

On the right is the Governor of Illinois Rob Blagojevich. Blagojevich made the headlines this year for allegedly trying to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat. He was later impeached from his position.

Winter Wonderland

Snow Dance

This year's annual Snow Dance was held on December 13th, 2008. Juniors and Seniors enjoyed their winter formal with their friends. The tradition was still held in the cafeteria with a dj and photos provided. Although there was no snow on the ground, the winter decorations and cold weather provided the perfect atmosphere. The Snow Dance was a success and students enjoyed the winter night formal.

Cheryl Becker "I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around and don't let anybody tell you different."~ "There is no order in the world around us-we must adapt ourselves to the requirements of chaos instead. It is hard to adapt to chaos, but it can be done. I am living proof of that: It can be done."~"I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you can see all kinds of things you can't see from the center. Big, undreamed-of-things-the people on the edge see them first."

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road. Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go. So make the best of this test, and don't ask why. It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time. It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right. I hope you had the time of your life.

would like to thank the faculty and staff at SHS for a memorable 4 years. My favorite activities include the GSA, the musicals, and hanging out with Mr. Trout during gold pass. I would like to personally thank Mr. Trout for being an inspiration to all, and for being one of few teachers willing to spend time everyday just having a conversation. It is almost impossible to spend time with Mr. Trout without learning something new, often about yourself. The class I will miss most is Woodshop.1

Ashley Smith Coming into this school was really scary, not knowing my surroundings and having to adapt to new rules. Now that I'm leaving, part of me is scared. The fear of what my future will be has become bigger as graduation comes closer. From freshman year to now, I have really changed. I'm more mature and aware of who I am as a person and who I can be as an adult. Thanks teachers who taught me and prepared me for the real world. Thanks Mom, Dad, Lauren and Charlie who have been with me throughout my high school years. But most importantly, thanks all the people who have come into my life. Without them, I wouldn't be who I am today.

But el garden was only a simple penance for a lost soul should he come again once more only to find the last 7 are still among them.

of Memories...

Shaped by what we make it, Springfield High School has been our home for four years. These four years have molded us into the people we will become. It has given us the ability to succeed in the future. We took tests, took trips, took responsibility; all in the end to make the friends we will keep forever. With these friends we captured memories that will last a lifetime. Even though these years have flown by, leaving is just the beginning. Springfield High School has taught us camaraderie, confidence and courage. What we take from Springfield will stay with us as we go on to bigger and better things. The moments we have had here are the moments that will define us as we grow. Even though we will walk away and changes will occur, we have left footprints in the halls that we entered as freshman and left as seniors. As we leave this school, we all take something different with us, but the end is just a new beginning. Wherever your future may lead you, cougar pride still stays with you.

It's something unpredictable But in the end it's right.

I hope you had the time of your life

2008-2009
