"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players."
IF If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about don't deal in lies, Or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream and not make dreams your master; If you can think and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings, And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings nor lose the common touch; If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And-which is more-you'll be a Man, my son! -Rudyard Kipling
THE SENIOR CLASS OF SPRINGFIELD HIGH PRESENTS

PROLOGUE The purpose of the Scrivener has been otten and well set forth. It is difficult to conceive of or invent a "raison" that has not been previously offered. And it does not lie within the province of this year's staff to embellish it with new purposes. Its basic task is to present an accurate and full account of campus and school life. This it has honestly attempted to do.
There are certain things to be said and these must be repeated year after year. But there are several things that a new edition of an old story can do. It can present a fresh viewpoint, enliven its pages by throwing a new light on its stage, and by taking advantage of new avenues of approach. Upon this philosophy it is our intent to put forth a living memento of happy days spent in Springfield High School.
As we recall the past four eventful years, each a scene in our drama of life, we have tried to present memories which seem to make our cast a successful group capably directed by our teachers and advisers and supported by ever-cooperative underclassmen in sports and other activities.
As the curtain falls on this phase of our dramatic career, we hope each page will serve as a footlight to bygone memories and that each mellowed by intervening years will bring back pleasant recollections of happy friendships and associations. If so, we feel this record will have served its rightful purpose.

DEDICATEES Through our privilege of seniority we dedicate this ANNUAL to our advisers: Miss Geiger, Mr. Richardson, and Mr. Madeira.
To try to analyze the reasons why a person is liked and respected may seem fruitless, especially in the case of Miss Geiger whom each senior knows as a friend. But in her personality there is one element which is preeminent in her contribution to Springfield. It is her warmth of kindly interest in helping us to procure either during or after school any library material that may be available. This same friendly consideration has carried over into every phase of our association and we sincerely thank her for the confidence she has inspired in us.
Nothing could be more typical of Mr. Richardson than his leaving in December to do his part for Uncle Sam. His witty remarks and affable manner testify to his congeniality and warm heart. In jest we often referred to him as the ingenious gentleman who held the class's purse strings, but seriously we admired him as a man who could competently cope with the varied and difficult problems that came his way. In the future we shall always remember one who intrigued us with his fair play and pay-as-you-go policy.
As successor to Mr. Richardson at the halfway mark in our senior year, we are grateful to Mr. Madeira. Whenever those hours of rehearsal spent in the production of some comedy when "Don't do as I do, but as I say" was our password or those senior essays in preparation for commencement speeches are brought to mind, we ineVitably associate this familiar figure. Not only in extra-curricular activities will his interest and assistance be remembered but also in our English classes. We are confident his spirit and timely advice will lead to a better appreciation of his friendliness.

The CLASS
Freshman We appeared timorously as a cast of sixty-nine members eager for our dramatic performance at Springfield. To keep us from getting entangled in the props and scenery offstage were Miss Berry and Mr. Anderson. To add zest to the daily important rehearsals were the Glee Club, the Movie Club, or the Current Events Club to which many of our group belonged. In addition to these diversions were the sidelights of football and hockey in which some of our members enlisted as loyal and active supporters. In a minor way it was our privilege to serve in the Junior Student Council, to support the Hallowe'en Dance, and to aid in the White Christmas Drive. In a proper mood for vacation we enjoyed it heartily, for the vicissitudes of beginning high school were piling up on us. Then in rapid succession came the popular sport, basketbalL the visit to the Overbrook School for the Blind, track, and those jittery days of final exams. As freshman we'd slid through and closed our first dramatic episode; now we were anxious to walk about as sophomores, ready to feel the importance of being seasoned thespians.
Sophomore With summer vacation at an end we returned to establish ourselves in Miss Berry's and Mr. Stetson's homerooms and to take whatever the year had to offer. Last year's philanderers, in part, were missing and we were, supposedly, going to be real students. Soon after Miss Geiger and Mr. Richardson were appointed sponsors, electioneering began, and for the first time we felt the anxiety behind it all. The fortunate few were John Morgan, President; Joseph Anderer and William Scott, Vice-Presidents; Elizabeth Fredricks, Secretary; and Thomas Rile, Treasurer. Andrew Siegle, Gordon Stewart, Fred Jordan, Joseph Anderer, Donald Longhurst, Jean Smith, Helen Kopp, Cynthia Simmonds, and Jean Waldie helped lead our Alma Mater to victory in various sports. Ernestine Pirimian, Betty Chesnutt, John Naylor, and Helen Smith of our class shone in other activities. The year's social events and vacations whirled swiftly by, and we topped it off with the annual Soph-Hop. The close of the term soon brought us to the realization that we were runners-up in the command performance, that of being seniors.
Junior Year The curtain rose impressively on the third act, and we were filled with expectations of an entertaining year ahead. The leading man, John Naylor, was ably supported by Vice-President Gordon Stewart, Secretary Elizabeth Fredricks, and Treasurer Joseph Anderer. The governing aspirants were Joseph Anderer, Roy Hancock, Doris Taylor, and Andrew Siegle. In the field of sports we succeeded in placing one man on the eleven and several others on the reserve squad. We were also enthusiastic about hockey and basketball. After the anxiety of mid-year exams subsided, the class looked forward to the festivities of the Turn-About Dance on March 2l. Later on Betty Chesnutt, Cynthia Simmonds, Ernestine Pirimian and Dean Evans were our oustanding members who went through the mysterious rites of becoming Honor Society members. In rapid succession we chose our class rings, planned the Junior-Senior Reception, and awaited our position as seniors. Seniors! No other word is necessary to explain that feeling. We had toiled through three years and now stood on the threshold of graduation.
Senior Year The concluding scenes of the Drama of 1942 started off with a bang when Joseph Anderer won the leading role. He was supported by Andrew Siegle, Vice-President; Elizabeth Fredricks, Secretary; and Cynthia Simmonds, Treasurer. Those assuming responsibility in governmental service were Council President John Naylor, Vice-President Joseph Anderer, and Treasurer Thomas Rile. The football team had a successful if somewhat erratic season, for teamwork built a fighting spirit that brought us several victories. Also this was the year for the hoped-for Allied Victory, for many draft registrations, and rationings. Too, it was the year of "June Mad" and the year of a one day trip instead of the proverbial three to Washington. In March Ruth Rigg, Helen Smith, May Graff, John Naylor, Thomas Rile, and Joseph Anderer became members of the Honor Society. Just before the high school finale of our dramatic career, we were entertained by the juniors at the "Prom." As the curtain closed, with the presentation of the long-awaited diplomas, we entrusted to those following the ideals and aspirations of the Class of '42.

RETROSPECTIO
"
Dinner is Served.
What has happened to Chuck?
He has been gone all afternoon.
All's well that end well.
JUNE MAD In order to punctuate the tenseness of the world situation, the seniors chose a light comedy entitled "June Mad", which was given De:ember fifth and sixth under the skillful direction of Miss Geiger and Mr. Madeira. The family about which the play centered was full of vi~ality and sparkle. The story concerned Penny Wood (Jean Waldie) and Chuck Harris (Dean Evans), the boy next door. Penny was very young and as yet had never bothered with her appearance or boys. Chuck, who followed much the same line, had for a pet hobby that of sailing his beloved glider. When Penny's Uncle Mervyn (James Geniesse), only five years older than she, brought Roger Van Vleck (William Turner), a very handsome, debonair, college senior; she forgot all about being a tomboy and became very much interested in the opposite sex. Suddenly Penny found herself infatua~ed with Roger. She thought it was the real thing. Penny believed she had "hooked" Roger, and he kidded her into thinking just that until he met Julie Harris (Mary Jane Wright), who wa3 really Mervyn's girlfriend; then he forgot all about Penny. A friend of the family's, Milly Lou (Evelyn Ferguson) was very glad to hear that Mervyn was coming home. As soon as he arrived, she came over and started pestering him as usual. Then it was that Mrs. Wood (May Graff) blithely announced she was giving a party for Mervyn. The guests were 1.0 consist of giggling young girls and school teachers. When Penny found that she had no dress to wear-that is, one not sophisticated enough to impress Roger-she tried to inveigle her father, Dr. Wood (Lewis Detzl, into giving her the money to buy one. Then Mrs. Wood stepped in and put a stop to such fanagling. The Wood's maid, Effie (Cynthia Simmonds), who was a very kindhearted person, was promptly approached by Penny. After Effie turned a seemingly deaf ear, she went to Mervyn and Chuck. Finally the two boys gave Penny the money and she bought a "Glamour Girl" dress. The day of the party arrived and everyone was busy doing one thing or another. Some of the friends who came were Shirley (Eetty Chesnutt and Eetty Graeber) and Ralph Wentworth (Donald Longhurst), and Mr. Harris (Robert Saunders). The latter was very much upset about the missing Chuck, who the family soon learned had gone up early that afternoon in his glider and had not returned. As the party progressed Penny was deeply hurt by the remarks of her friends about her party dress. Penny felt like running away but her mother made her pretend that nothing had happened. Since Chuck had not returned, Mr. Wood got up a searching party. Elmer (Stephen Tieser), the hired nian, seemed to know most about what had happened to Chuck. After a long tedious search they found him a little scratched and shaken but otherwise still in one piece. His glider had stayed up so long that he had broken the endurance record. A member of the Associated Press called on Chuck to find out all the details of the flight. When Penny found Qut the news she ran to meet him, for they really cared for each other. As Chuck was leaving to put on his tuxedo, Mrs. Wood appeared. Penny exclaimed in concluding that she had really begun to live. Since the cast, directors, and the s~age crew all put forth their best efforts, we believe "June Mad" to be one of the best senior plays Springfield has ever witnessed.
The Seniors Bequeath We, the Seniors of 1942, being of sound (who said so?) mind and in our usual state of clear intelligence do hereby bequeath the following articles, memories, and tokens to the people who we feel are most in need of them:
Juniors:-
Mr. Madeira and Room l. Senior play headaches. Washington trip. Directions for air raids (and we do mean be calm). The joy of graduation. Commencement essays. Sophomores:The long day. Watching the clock. A good comer to cry in on report card days. Date with the seniors.
Freshmen:The thrill (?) of compulsory exams. Bigger and better vacations. The thrill of their first class dance.
Students in General:A good football team. The hope for easier exams or no exams at all. Better traffic rules in the halls.
Faculty:Better and brighter pupils (we won't say students). Appreciation for the effort (hopeless though it was).
These Changing Times Our lives until December seventh Were spent amidst seclusion. We worked, we played, we danced and sang, And gave no thoughts to care. Until the Nippos dropped their bombs Upon serene Pearl Harbor, We had been careless in our thoughts And did not think of war. But now they've come and we, in turn, Must take our stand and fight. And all these coming, trying years Will not have been in vain. We only pray"that through the years The members of our class, Though found in many a far-off land, Will do their duties well. Though soldiers, sailors, or marines, Or nurses at the front, Or workers in our industries, We have but one main cause. Yet in the many months of work Our class will active be, And everyone will do his part In the fight for liberty.
"Wing~~ Josephine AlexanderJosie's heart must be out of school; In a day, out a day, is her rule.

To the members of the Class of 1942, Springfield High School was a second home. One of the chief factors which contributed to this feeling was the kindly cooperative spirit of the gentleman who planned for and presided over our every act. He helped us when we were in need of a cue; he gave us suggestions worthy of our deepest consideration. His faith in our class was so inspiring that it helped us along through the changing scenes of our school career. For this and for his successful directing of our class, we sincerely thank our Supervising PrincipaL Mr. Harvey C. Sabold.

Through the maze of shifting events of our school life we have had incalculable assistance of every conceivable nature from one leader. His aid has been freely given, not only because he felt it his duty to help us, but also because of his real and earnest hope that each member of the graduating class may be an individual success. His love of work has instilled in us a deep and living desire to make our futures as profitable as he has helped us make our pasts. For the help and inspiration he has given us, we thank our PrincipaL Mr. Milton L. Smith.

Behind the smoothly functioning daily program of our school is the all important but little talked of School Board. As an integral part of Springfield life, the Board which is now composed of seven members-Mr. George Beitzel and Mr. Frank Eby being recently elected members-has backed us nobly and efficiently in many ways. Vile thank them for their many kindly considerations in the past and hope that their investment of time and energy has been repaid with interest.
Model Star The ideal student is one who very early develops a philosophy of life and a real sense of value. Having acquired these, he gains a proper prospectus which in turn gives him direction-that respectability, respectfulness, dependability and courtesy-which make for clean, solid womanhood and manhood. *
*
*
*
*
The ideal high school pupil, fully aware of the many advantages offered by the American free public schools, and being conscious of his own capabilities, assumes his responsibility to himself, his parents, and his school by cooperating with his teachers and working to his fullest capacity to realize as many of these advantages as possible. *
*
*
*
*
The ideal student, in the fullness of the word, reflects his personality in work, action, and thought. He is an individual acutely aware of externals, and one consciously determined to evolve the thought provoked by social awareness into lucid plastics, or into clear reasoning. One senses his ability and anxious willingness to weigh problems. Cultured, he refuses any seclusion that would remove him from the struggles of the world. Strivings, emotional and intellectual, mean life. A life he is living, and a life he does his utmost to express and decipher. It is undoubtedly this personal courage that gives throbbing force to his work, that persists in sharp clarity in his varied activities. He considers these things the duties of an individual, the student, the future citizen, and he subscribes to them. He has hopes for many things in this world, and he has a sincere strong belief in American culture. From the old school of learning, my school, the "ideal student" is what we would call the "A" scholar. *
*
*
*
*
The ideal student does not unconsciously take for granted the correctness and truthfulness of much that comes to his thinking without weighing the reasonablesness and accumulative effect upon himself and the world about him. Seeds of suggestiveness are often sown to bother his right thinking but he cultivates the analytical habit and immediately declares mentally that no such tares shall find lodgement in right thinking, talking, knowing, and acting. Weare familiar with instances of outstanding Americans who have been governed by right principle, and so earned for themselves a reputation which should be emulated. There is no possibility of compromise of what is right, for "By their fruits ye shall know them." Those aspiring to climb the ladder to success do well to emulate those qualities of the right, the ideal, and so build reputation and character on the rock of truth.
The Ideal Director The chief requisites of an ideal teacher are not particularly hard to fill. They are, in fact, merely simple rules of etiquette, which should be second nature to any properly trained adult. The most important item, to my way of thinking, is the simple rule of courtesy. Every student is an individual with feelings and opinions, and I think a little everyday thoughtfulness on the part of the teacher would not be amiss. After a few years of teaching, the average instructor discards his manners and treats his pupils as complete morons. The ideal teacher is courteous and considerate, with his students, and he uses his manners in school as often as he does out of school.
.
.
.
.
.
A teacher worthy of emulation is one who thinks, who understands, one who really considers what each as a student, is thinking-one that can laugh and does, one that is pliable enough to forget school and school problems long enough to really have a good time, but yet a teacher who manages to convey to befuddled minds a clear, concise picture of the subject taught, who can and does "lay down the law" when it needs laying down-that's my ideal teacher.
.
.
.
The ideal teacher to me is one who can admit when he has made a mistake. Whenever a student needs help or straightening out, such a leader politely and sncerely tries his best to show the person the right course. He can enjoy a laugh and yet be able to control a class so that the theme of the subject will not be forgotten. In summation he is one who can really be a friend to all and put his whole heart into all that he undertakes.
.
.
.
.
.
The ideal teacher is one who is tolerant and sympathetic with the feelings of others. He has a keen sense of humor but knows when to exercise it. Such a person requires good discipline in class but does not call for it in a mean way. He commands respect at all times and likewise respects the pupils.
Although placement in school is determined largely by scholastic age, formal class divisions are soon reinforced by growing class loyalties.

The second act of our drama began with a cast wholly accustomed to the plot of the high school story and one determined to give a good performance. It was capably directed by Miss Berry and Mr. Stetson, who succeeded Mr. Beardsley. The scene opened on election day when the final vote was registered making Richard Lawrence President, William Smedley Vice-President, Jean Kellett Secretary, and Jean Kirk Treasurer, as well as assigning Marjorie Downes, Edward Cole, Robert Spellman, Dorothy Wolfe, Richard Lawrence, and Patty Hoppes to represent the various sectors in the Student Council. The curtain closed to reopen again on a sports scene. FootbalL hockey, basketbalL and track starred with many juniors taking leading parts. Many fellow classmates were in the band and cheerleading squads. As interludes between the athletic scenes were the Barn Dance and the memorable Junior-Senior Reception.

Those starring in the bubbling plot of the sophomore year were the class officers, chosen in the early part of the year. President Roy Lowrie, Vice-President Jacque Hogg, Secretary Barbara Poole, Treasurer Elvira McGinnis climaxed the current season with the Soph-Hop. Good performances were rendered by the Council representatives: Richard ConwelL Frank Hendrickson, Jacque Hogg, Roy Lowrie, Earl Sheaffer, and Anna Warburton. Class members pondered seriously over the future - - - some anticipated playing a part in college life; some, working in defense industries; and some, assisting in the greatest role or alL the nation's armed forces. Though our minds were constantly distracted by crucial world events, honest down-to-earth studying was continued in the main, and as a result many are looking forward eagerly to episodical junior class activities.

The climax of junior high activity was imminent when we returned in the fall anXiously awaiting the final curtain on this part of our work. Homerooms were aligned much the same as the previous year. Aptly directing the year's activities were Miss Sanbe, Mr. MacLatchie, substituting for Mr. Heardsley now an ensign in the U. S. Navy, and Mr. Emmerling. After we renewed old friendships and started anew with some additional ones, we selected Student Council members and class officers and settled other formalities. Nearly everyone endeavored to enrich his daily agenda with extracurricular participation, especially in hockey, basketball, softball, footbalL or track. To alleviate our daily programs we had class parties, informal dances, and those well-earned days of jubilation-freedom from exams. All in all, "sophisticates."

Enthusiasm was the watchword in the main. for now abetted by the leadership of Miss McNiel, Mr. Schopf, and Mr. Green we were seasoned troupers ready to show our versatility and capability in any line. In student government the latent qualities of Joanne Yenney. Ralph Cheyney, Carol Reid, Nancy Jane Suplee, Katherine Smith. Robert Steele, Robert Forrester, William Loveland, and Arthur Burnley proved stimulating. In football Edward Ludman, "Spike" Beitzel, Frank Stewart, and Charles Turner were among those receiving junior high recognition. As many as wished enjoyed the basketball intramurals. Others contributing in nonathletic activities were Virginia Virgin and Joanne Yenney in art. Intermingling the familiar routine were the annual class party, White Christmas, homeroom Christmas parties, and dances.

Our class started off as little more than ninety "Centralites" to be moulded into the Class of '47. From the time we fled nervously to our homerooms under the guidance of Miss Haldeman, Mrs. Vosters, and Mr. Kauffman to the end of the year, we entered enthusiastically into all activities to establish ourselves as bona fide students of Springfield High. In the excitement of getting adjusted came the A. A. campaign. Incidently 7A was the first home room of the entire student body to achieve one hundred percent membership. From time to time we supported the Red Cross, White Christmas, A Cappella Concert, and Student Council functions. Nominated as upstanding students and elected to the Council were Sally Iliff, John Keyes, William Whitehouse, James Waltz, Joan Reynolds, Bruce Morgan, John Bond, Robert Henry, and Samuel McGrath. Final exams, farewells, and wonderings filled our last days. We yearlings had finished the first act of our performance.

Varsity Football Football, one of Springfield High's favorite sports, again took the spotlight in 1941. Several weeks before school began the boys were out on the gridiron practicing under. the super~ision of Head Coach William R. Emmerling and Assistant Coach Millard Howell. Night football was inaugurated for the "Cougars" on September twenty-sixth when they met Prospect Park in a setback on the "Pikers" new field. On October fourth the Blue and Gold made a valiant bid to defeat Yeadon, but the "Eagles" and the heat were a little too much for the local boys. Powerful Swarthmore, as well as Lansdowne, avenged the _ "Cougars'" winnings in that fruitful 1939 - - - : : . season. On a rainy October thirty-first the boys battled Nether-Providence to a stalemate, but on the following Friday they took a thumping from Clifton Heights. The "Cougars" wound up the season impressively by nosing out Sharon Hill and by taking the Thanksgiving Day ~l,..,.<:;sic from MarpleNewtown.

Junior High Varsity Junior High football-annually a success-began a few short weeks after the start of school. Coach Wilbur Schopf with but a nucleus of five previous letter men shaped a formidable array of passers, runners, and kickers. Entirely outclassing their opponents, the "Junior Cougars" rolled to a success superior to that of previous years. The team untied, undefeated, and unscored upon marched through a four game schedule. Their first victim, Marple-Newtown, on their home field was severely humbled by a heavy tally. Returning to their home field, the local boys defeated a fighting Yeadon squad. The team then reached its peak by defeating both Swarthmore and Sharon Hill by a score of 33-0. Squad injuries, the nightmare of all athletic coaches, numbered but few. Tom Kraemer was hurt in the mid-season battle with Yeadon while Chuck Small was injured in the season's last gridiron tilt, that with Sharon Hill. Th~ the team fought a courageous battle and came off the field-every time with the "Victory Song" ringing in their ears.

Hockey The 1941 hockey squad under the tutelage of Mrs. Madge ("Bunny") Vosters, the former amateur tennis champion, enjoyed a comparatively successful season. The aggregation started the campaign with a victory on the home field over Prospect Park's eleven. In the second game the locals nosed out a win over West Chester. Still playing a superior game, the eleven took their third by defeating MarpleNewtown on their home field. The fourth game found them pitted against Radnor, whom they trailed by one point. However, the team was not discouraged for it soon came through with a victory over Yeadon. Next came the tie with Collingdale, and the final game of the season in which Springfield bowed to Lansdowne. Throughout the season Helen Kopp, Jean Smith, and Jane Morgan, plus the rest of the squad, put up a fine defense and thus kept the opponents from garnering many points.

Track The 1942 track a._J field season at :Springfield opened with the Annual Class Meet with the seniors showing the superiority. Captain John Naylor led the boys into successful competion with Glen-Nor, Prospect Park, Clifton Heights, and Lansdowne. A not-to-be-forgotten reputation was left at the championship meets at Lansdowne, Boyertown, Norristown, Ursinus, Villanova, Delco, and Penn State. The indoor season saw Springfield at the Penn A. C. Meet at Convention Hall in Februarv and at the Junior A. A. U. Meet at the Arena in the early part of April. Both meets proved to be a success on the part of our school. The outstanding men of the year were Sherman Vaughters, in the high jump, broad jump, and the sprints; John Naylor, sprints and relays; Carl Eggleston, middle distance and relays; Bob Suplee, sprints; John Morgan, pole vault and weights; Lewis Detz, hurdles; Stephen rieser, mile; and Stanley Redmond, javelin. The juniors and sophomores also made a good standing with Smedley, Walsh, Gilday, Carlson, Rumsey, Calder, Otton, Willits and Shuebrook as star performers.

Boys' Varsity Basketball Basketball made its current debut early in December when Head Coach Millard Howell's young quintet was defeated by an older and experienced Ridley Park five. From that opening game the "Cougars" improved steadily and wound up third in the Section Five race: Towards the end of the season Springfield came back to avenge the first Ridley Park game by downing the Section Four runners-up in a hot tussle on the opponents' court. The Blue and Gold also took Media over the hurdles. The crowning point of the season was the defeat of Clifton Heights on the home floor, February twentyseventh. The "Rams" and Yeadon were tied for first in Suburban Five, and the smashing "Cougar" victory and subsequent "Eagle" triumph decideQ. the title on the last day of the league season. The "Cougars" dropped a close game to the Darby five in the annual Kiwanis Tournament at the P.M.C. gym in Chester. .
Girls' Varsity Basketball This year the girls' varsity completed a season which, if not so conspicious with a list of victories as last year's, was just as clean and sportsmanlike. Every game was a fight to the finish, and the games lost were gracefully conceded to the better team. The squad consisted of two seniors, five juniors, and one sophomore. The season's high-scorer was Marilyn Borgh, one of the juniors. The schedule this year included games with two teams with which the girls had never before competed-Lansdowne and Upper Darby. Although both games were lost, they were well-played and served to give added poise to the alert playing sextet. Even though unfamiliar with the squad, Coach "Bunny" Vosters turned out a well-rounded, well-finished team which was ably directed on the floor by Captain Jean Smith.

A Cappella The most noticeable innovation in the work of the musical department was the robed A Cappella choir. In the month of January, it was decided that the choir get its robes; the material was purchased and made by the various girls and mothers of the members. In March a very successful Patrons Concert was given in order to raise the money to pay for the blue choir gowns. Among the many places where the A Cappella choir appeared were Lansdowne High School. Teachers' Meeting at Media High School. Eeaver College, Ellis College, Eddystone High School. Swarthmore High School. WFIL, and the various churches in the township. Appearing at these various places were the Girls' Trio, Men's Ensemble, Women's Ensemble, and Ernestine Pirimian and Norma Lurwick as soloists. Ernestine and Norma entered the Cultural Olympics and were two of the three soloists on the program who sang at Houston Hall. On February 24, Ernestine Pirimian was selected State Soprano Soloist for 1942. This activity has become a very important one in the history of Springfield High School and will continue to be one in the future because of the great success with which it has appeared under the able direction of its director, Mr. Harold L. Von Muller.
Spri-Hian The Spri-Hian's eight issues attempted to present to the student body all the features which would be informative and interesting in a school newspaper. Under the guidance of Miss Elvira H. Sanbe, Editor-in-Chief Dean Evans and his business associates James Geniesse, Gordon Stewart, Jean Brumble, and Henry Evans functioned smoothly; James Geniesse paying the bills and the others executing other commercial details. May Grace Graff was in charge of circulation and Grace Shelton, of exchange. The editorial staff provided many new items for the period.ical which were welcomed by the readers. Some of the new and regular columns were "Swing Slants", "Junior High Notes", "Exchange", "Institute of Public Opinion", "Sports Sidelights", and an increased "Local Color". Generally it was the policy of the staff to present the news and views in a clear concise manner and in a way that was acceptable to the majority of readers.

Senior Student Council This year's governing body headed by John Naylor got off to a favorable start with the students by having sport dances after each home contest. Throughout the year the Council sponsored the traditional activities and fostered several new ones. The customary Thanksgiving Dance, which emphasized patriotism, was held on November 27 with Tommy Darlington's Orchestra furnishing the entertainment. Next came the White Christmas which, as always, has been a big success in Springfield. Miss Bastian's class won the award for the third consecutive year. Under the able direction of Joseph Anderer, Vice-President, the Council has been selling Defense Stamps. This practice has been taken over whole-heartedly by the student body. Thus the Student Council has been very active in furthering school progress. Inasmuch as the student body has been receptive to the policies of the student government, correspondingly, satisfaction has been brought to all.
Junior Student Council Chairmanned by Donald Attwood the Junior Student Council functioned for the benefit of the students in whatever aspect possible. In addition to the many routine matters, the Council was mixed up in the contemplation and enactment of many constructive measures to benefit the general cross section of those represented. Much activity was in the nature of approving recommendations originating with other groups. Furthermore, there was a rededication of the following committees: Ways and Means, Publicity, Cleanliness, and Social. Donald Attwood, Robert Calder, Charles Small, and Nancy White met each Friday to plan the following week's meeting. The orientation of the Defense Stamp Committee was ably headed by Robert Calder. At present the Council attempts to function so well for the well-being of the Junior High that its members will constantly make use of it for proper representation.

Nalional Honor Society The induction services for the local chapter of the National Honor Society were held March 12, when the very formal and impressive ceremony was conducted by those members of the senior class who were elected to the society last year; namely, Elizabeth Chesnutt, Dean Evans, Ernestine Pirimian, and Cynthia Simmonds. The members of the senior class to attain the four goals of scholarship, leadership, service, and character were Joseph Anderer, May Grace Graff, John Naylor, Ruth Rigg, Thomas Rile, and Helen Smith. The members of the junior class to reach these standards were Carl DeMartino, Patricia Hoppes, Jean Kellett, Richard Lawrence, and Norma Lurwick. After the induction ceremonies Dr. Arnold Look, President of Ellis College, gave a very interesting and informative talk on the challenges of such a society to be met and sustained by the elected aspirants and the student body in general.
The Library Club The Library Club led by President Jean Kellett and Secretary and Treasurer Dorothy Wolfe endeavored to familiarize its members with the work and duties of a librarian. During the year each girl was assigned to library duty at the desk at least once a week. Cataloging new books, checking books in and out, straightening the shelves, and generally helping Librarian Miss Geiger were only a few of the important duties performed. Momentarily thwarted in the second term by the entrance of the Firt Aid course, the club decided to knit during the regular meetings and to do library work whenever else it was possible. The cooperative spirit and the intense interest of the members were shown by their accoIr.plishments.

Commercial Club Under the guidance of Miss Bastian and Mr. R. K. Smith the Commercial Club completed a successful year. Its activities were arranged for and taken care of by President Helen Kopp, Vice-President Evelyn Erikson, Secretary Jeanne Kirk, and Treasurer Lenora Bornman. During the year various committees were appointed. The membership committee led by Evelyn Erikson purposed to give speed tests to all persons eligible for membership whereas the trip committee headed by Lenora Bornman arranged trips and interesting outings. Assisting these main functioning groups were the contest committee under the leadership of Helen Smith which gave speed tests to all newcomers and the program committee led by Eileen Groce which arranged the programs for the weekly meetings. At each meeting a member appointed by the president gave a talk on some vocation. As a final meeting, a luncheon was held at which time new members from the sophomore and junior cla",-"''''", were invited to join the club.
Dramatic Club Opportunities were at hand for those who wished to seek self-expression, for the purpose of the Dramatic Club was twofold-to give every student a chance in act in or to coach a play during the year. Directed by Mr. Madeira, the present officers: Dean Evans, President; May Graff, Secretary; and Marjorie Downes, Treasurer, did much to make the student body conscious of elementary producing, acting, and directing.In trying to fulfill these aims the club has staged four plays as assembly productions and as exchange programs. The first three were student coached; namely, "Wheat Fire" by Dean Evans, "Tub Trouble" by Marjorie Downes and. May Graff, and "Little Darling" by Marilyn Tircuit and Betty Wilson. The fourth play "The Ghostly Passenger" was dedicated to Mr. Madeira. At the close of a very successful season we decided to join the "National Thespian Society."

Appreciation So many persons contributed significantly to the production of the 1942 Scrivener, that any attempt to name the most skillful, the most helpful, and the most cooperative staff members and business associates would undoubtedly be inaccurate. Students and Alumni alike appreciate the aid of the friendly shopkeepers and business men, and so they will patronize the advertisers in order that we may be sure of their continued support.. Appreciation goes to all. It is hoped that their satisfaction lies in the knowledge that they have been a part of this worthy undertaking.
