At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Springfield High School Alumni in the spring of 1901, the question was asked by one of the members, "How many graduates are there of the High School, and where are they located?" The first part of the question — how many graduates are there — was easily answered by referring to the records of the Board of Edu- cation. The number of these graduates who are still living and their location, not being a matter of record, the latter part of the question could not be answered. The question was then discussed of obtaining information as to the whereabouts of the graduates of the school and publishing it in book form, together with the business they are engaged in and their callings in life. Out of this discussion has grown this Histori- cal Souvenir. Mr. I. E. Diller, of the class of 1871, President of the High 7 School Alumni, was authorized to take charge of the work. Mr. y Diller selected Mr. F. C. Dodds, of the class of 1881, and Miss Marcia B. Odam, of the class of 1891, to assist him. The committee entered at once upon the work of collecting the necessary data and putting it in shape for publication. This task ^^^ proved to be one of large proportions. The committee found at the ^^__outset that the 1,200 graduates of the Springfield High School are K, 5r- scattered all over the United States, and that to obtain any sort of «=i reliable information as to their exact location and calling in life ^ would require much more time than it had thought would be neces- g sary to compile' the Souvenir. When the work was commenced it ">- was the intention of the committee to have the Souvenir ready for Qi distribution at the x4.1umni Reunion in June, 1901. This, however, Qwas found to be out of the question, and the efEorts of the committee jwere directed to the end of having their work completed and ready . \for the Reunion in 1902. iNi °i The work of collecting the data published herewith was beset with many difficulties and delays. A vast amount of correspondence 4 Sprixgfield High School. was necessary to definitely locate those who are living in other cities and States. The committee regrets that it was unable to get but meager information with respect to many who have graduated from the High School. It realizes, too, that its work is not perfect and complete. That there are errors in the Souvenir, it does not doubt, it being necessary in many cases to accept unofficial data Avhich it had no means of verifying. It feels, however, that it has laid the foundation for future publications, and that with the material here presented the future historian of the graduates of the Springfield High School will be enabled to prosecute his work much more ex- tensively and with less difficulty and delay than it has liad to con- tend with. Volumes could be written about the many good men and women who go to make up the Alumni of the High School. The committee, however, has not gone into details concerning their life work. It was thought that the reproduction of the program of the Commencement Exercises of the various classes would be of interest to the readers of the Souvenir. All of these programs are not a matter of record and it was necessary to resort to the files of news- papers for copies of them. They are reproduced just as they ap- peared in the public press at the time. Following the program is a list of the graduates in each class. The committee desires to thank all who have so kindly assisted it in its work and those who have contributed the funds which made the publication of this Souvenir possible. I. K. DiLLER, F. C. DODDS, Marcia B. Odam, Committee. Springfield High School. The first school iu Springfield was opened in 1821, three years after the first settlement, and was taught by Mr. Andrew Orr. Dur- ing the thirty years that followed, private schools were conducted to which pupils were admitted upon pa}-ment of tuition, the most prominent of which was the Academy, incorporated in 1839 ; but it was not until the year 1854 that steps were taken to establish free public schools. By an amended charter, approved March '2, 1854, the city was organized as the "Springfield School District,"' and the City Council authorized to establish and maintain free schools for the education of all wliite persons between the ages of five and twenty-one years of age; and to appoint seven Inspectors, to be de- nominated as the Board of School Inspectors, and to prescribe their duties. In accordance with this charter, an ordinance was passed August 21, 1854, defining the powers of the Board and dividing the city into four sub-districts, corresponding to the wards of the city. A lot in each Avard had already been purchased for school purposes. Buildings in the First and Third wards were completed in the spring of 185(>, and were immediately opened for the admission of pupils. Very soon thereafter, these buildings could not accommodate all the pupils, and public schools were opened in the First Baptist and First Presbvterian Cliurches. School buildings were erected in the Second and Fourth wards at a cost of $10,000 each, and were opened in Sep- tember, 1858. At a meeting of the Board of Inspectors held July 20, 1857, the Committee on Examination of Teachers was instructed to inquire into the expediency of revising the course of study pursued in the schools. The members of this Board, at that time, were : Jolm W. Priest, President; E. Baker, Secretary; Isaac S. Britton, J. ^Marvin, Charles E. Dodge, John A. McClernand, and J. S, Yredenburgh. The report of this committee, covering nearly eight ledger pages of the record, closely written, was presented July 27, and was signed bv Isaac S. Britton, Chas. E. Dodge, and J. Marvin. Already certain 6 Springfield High School. higher English branches were taught in the ward schools. This committee in the report advised that these higher branches, be stricken from the course, and "that a separate and independent de- partment be organized, to be called 'The Department of Science," which should include Xatural Philosophy, Physical Geography, Elements of Algebra, Physiology and Hj^giene, General Exercises in the Elements of Elocution and in Composition, and the Grammar of Composition and Declamation; and that this department be placed in charge of a male preceptor to receive a salary of $500 a year, and that this department for the present occupy a room on the second floor of the Third Ward School Building." This committee, at the end of the lengthy report, summarized its recommendations in eight resolutions, the fifth one containing the recommendation of a "Department of Science." When presented to the Board, Mr. John A. McClernand moved to amend by striking out the fifth resolution and that part of the report relating to the establishing of a "Department of Science," and insert the following: "Resolved, That a Central or High School be established with such riiles, regulations and course of study as hereafter may be adopted, to be taught by a competent teacher hereafter to be selected, said school to be taught in some central and convenient building." Upon the vote, a division was called for and five members were recorded as voting for the amendment and two against it. The re- port, as amended, was then unanimously adopted. This was the first official action relating to the establishment of a free High School in the City of Springfield. At a meeting of the Board held August 24, 1857, Mr. McClernand of the committee appointed to recommend studies for the High School, made this report: "The committee charged with the duty of selecting and reporting the course of studies to be pursued in the Central High School, respectfully report : That they have diligently considered the important subject referred to them, and, as a result of their deliberations, recommend the following studies : For the male pupils, Natural Philosophy, Moral Philosophy, Political Economy, Surveying, and Bookkeeping. For the female pupils, The same studies, with the substitution of Botany and Physiology for Surveying and Bookkeeping. This report before adoption, was amended to include Algebra, and Geometry, and a review of Grammar, Geography and Arithmetic. At a meeting held September 8, Mr. Beaumont Parks was elected Alumni Association. 7 as the first Principal of the High School, for the ensuing year, Mr. Chas. D. Arnold serving as assistant Principal. The school was opened in a small building in the Third ward, on .Market street, now known as Capitol avenue, just west of Spring street. JSTo record of the attendance of this first year of the High School can be found. As the building in which this school was taught the first year was small and not centrally located, it was transferred to the Fourth ward building, just completed, now known as the Lincoln school, and Mr. Andrew M. Brooks was made the principal of both the Fourth ward school and the High School. Forty-two pupils were enrolled the second year. In December, 1858, the course of study was revised, a number of branches added, and a classical course provided for, includ- ing Latin and Greek, which was designed for those preparing to enter college. In September, 1859, tuition in the High School for pupils living outside the city, was fixed at $21 a year. At the same meeting, as provided for in a resolution passed at a former meeting, Miss Sophia Chapin was elected as female assistant, Mr. Geo. Tourtellot having already been elected Principal. At the beginning of the third 3^ear, the school was located in the Academy Building, situated on South Fifth street, a short distance south of Monroe, this building having been procured by the City Council for this purpose. The High School was conducted in this place for six years. Very soon after the school was located here, the Board declared it an unsuitable place, and began to petition the Council for a new building. After the Council had decided that a new High School building should be erected, it was several years before an agreement upon the location of the site could be reached. The records of the meet- ings of the Council during the several years, while trying to select a High School site, make interesting reading. The subject became an issue at city elections, and several' aspiring statesmen were rele- gated to private life on account of their position on this important question. Finally the site -was selected at the southeast corner of Madison and Fourth streets, and in 1865 a new building was com- pleted at a cost of $65,000. The erection of this new building which was one of the best for educational purposes in the State at that 8 Springfield High School. time, and its occupancy by the school transferred from the "Academy'* huilding, mark tlie beginning]: of a new and important era in the liistor}' of this institution. The school was conducted in this building for almost a third of a century, and here a large number of the boys and girls of the city, as well as many from the surrounding country, received their academic training. The people of the city were proud of this in- stitution and gave it hearty support. Connected with its history, during these years, are interesting associations which many of the older citizens, their children, and in some instances, their grand- children, deliglit to cherish in their memories. Thirty-three classes completed their High School studies in this building, the members of which received their diplomas at the annual commencements, which Avere great occasions for those interested in the High School, and are now recorded as Alumni of the Springfield High School. From time to iinie the courses of study were revised to keep pace with educational progress. It appears that in the early years of this school the boys and girls were in separate classes, and that there were several studies prescribed for boys that girls were not per- mitted to take, and vice versa. The record shows that forty years ago two Pangnnnasticons were purchased and one placed in the male department and the other in the female department. 'J'hese Avere to be used in connection with the physical training system. Early in the history of the school, the value of a library was a])preeiated and a beginning was made. In a report of the Superin- tendent, made early in the sixties, he says : "The library was in- creased during the A^ear about one hundred volumes. The greater part of this addition was obtained by a small appropriation made by tlie city last winter; tlie remainder was contributed by the scholars. An appropriation for this purpose should l^e made every year. Xo scholar is allowed to draw a novel from the library whose grade is under tA\-o and five-tenths, tliree being the maximum." Among the studies required for several years, were, Evidences of Christianity, ^Moral P]iih-)Sophy, and Mental Philosophy. Dr. Samuel Willard, Superintendent of schools in 1869-70, suggested that these studies were of doubtful value, and other more useful branches should be substituted in their place. He made these recommenda- tions as "an orthodox Christian and a father of children in the High School," believing that they should not study these branches until they had reached mature 3'ears. Dr. Willard's successor, !Mr. Ben- Alumni Assoclvtion. 9 nett, followed up his recommendations, and very soon thereafter these branches were stricken from the course of study. A niarked improvement was made in 1883, when an outline of English work was prepared for each of the four years of all the courses, to be pursued by all pupils. This provided for each year, in connection with English language and Literature, the study of three or more American and English authors, thus affording an opportunity for pupils during the four years' course to study quite thoroughly some of the best works of at least twelve standard authors. This advance step, thus early taken by the High School, and the excellent work done 1\v the classes, has been highly com- mended ])y several of the leading universities. In 1887, application was made to have the High School placed on the accredited list of Michigan University, After an examina- tion by a committee of the faculty of the University, a favorable re- port was made, and since that time graduates from the Springfield High School have been admitted to the various courses of ^Michigan University upon certificates that the required studies had been com- pleted here. This was very gratifying to the friends of the High School, as it was an endorsement by one of the leading universities of the country, of the efficiency of the work done here, and this was more highly appreciated when it was learned that this same com- mittee had reported unfavorably vipon several of the larger High Schools of the State. Since this action was taken by the University of Michigan, graduates of the High School have been admitted upon certificate to Cornell, Wellesley, Vassar, University of Illinois, University of Chicago, and other colleges and universities. At the present time, with the exception of a certain amount of work in English, history and mathematics, the studies are elective. A two years' Business Course has recently been added. Also a course in manual training for which credit is given, the same as in other branches. There are excellent facilities for laboratory work in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, and the instruction in many of the ijubjects is given by specialists, and the latest, best approved methods are used. The High School building completed in 1865 and located at the corner of Madison and Fourth streets, finally became too small for the educational demands of a growing city, and, besides, the location became unsuitable on account of adjacent streets being used by so manv railroads, and the proximity of manufacturing establishments. 10 Springfield High School. It thus became necessary to erect a new building. The present beautiful and commodious structure, located between Washington and Adams streets, near Pasfield street, was completed in the fall of 1897, and occupied for school purposes in October of the same year. This building, 200 feet long by 100 feet wide, with three stories above the basement, was erected at a cost of about $75,000, and has a capacity for 800 pupils. This is a very extensive and complete building to be secured for that amount of money, but the contract was let in 1896, Avhen building material could be secured at the lowest prices known for years. Four or five years ago the plan of semi-annual promotions was adopted in the lower grades of the grammar schools and has been gradually extended to the higher grades until it has now reached the second year of the High School. This plan provides for classes a half year apart, instead of a year, as formerly, and now pupils are promoted from the eighth grade of the ward schools to the High School twice a year. One of the advantages of this classification and promotion, is that pupils who, for any reason, are unable to advance with their classes, may be placed in a lower class without losing a year's time in completing the course. In Februarv, 1901, a class of seventv-five from the ward schools was admitted to the High School, and will complete the four years' course in the middle of the school year in 1905. Another class of about the same number was admitted in February of the present year, 1902, and, under this arrangement classes will be admitted regularly twice a year, in September and in February. Prior to 1882, it was the custom each year, just after the close of school in June, to require the eighth grade pupils of the ward schools, to go to the old High School building to take a written ex- amination upon all studies pursued by eighth grade pupils, for admis- sion to the High School. This was a momentous occasion. It was entered upon by many of them with fear and trembling, because their admission to the High School depended entirely upon the result of this examination. This examination had been in their minds from the day they had entered upon the work of the eighth grade, and they were not allowed to forget it. The greater part of the instruction of the teachers and the preparation of lessons by pupils, had this final examination in view. Pupils Avere required to write two days, then their papers were carefully marked, the percents of each pupil averaged and tabulated, and the names of the successful candidates Alumni xissociATioN. 11 published in the daily papers. There were sometimes many failures, and, of course, as many sad hearts as there were pupils who failed. After 1883, for a number of years, these final examinations were held in the ward schools. Soon after 1890 the method of admission to the High School was changed, and since then the daily work of the pupils and the monthly written tests have been made mainly the basis of promotion. Those who make eighty-five percent, or above, in any study during the year, take no final examination in that study. A considerable number are passed to the High School upon this record. Those who fail to make eighty-five percent upon one or more studies are examined upon these studies, and their standing is made up from the term's work and this examination, each counting half. Under this method, the recommendation of the teacher has much to do with the promotion of pupils. Since the new High School was completed, in 1897, the attend- ance has increased very rapidly. Many families from the surround- ing country have moved to the city for the sole purpose of giving their children the advantages of the High School. Tuition amount- ing to nearly two thousand dollars is paid by non-resident pupils. The enrollment of the present year has reached 680, and there is a faculty of nineteen instructors. Considerable liberty is now allowed, pupils in the selection of studies fro]n the various courses of the High School. With the ex- ception of two years of mathematics, and a certain amount of English and history, the subjects are elective. The following are the courses as provided for at present: A Business Course of two years which includes bookkeeping, Commercial Geography, Commercial Law, Commercial Arithmetic, and English. An English Scientific Course which includes, in addition to the mathematics, history, and English of other courses, all of the sciences usually taught in a High School. A German-English Course which provides for four years of German. A Latin-English Course which provides for four years of Latin, A Classical Course which, in addition to the four years of Latin, provides for Greek. Vocal music, free hand and mechanical drawing, and manual training are taught by specialists. For every study completed, the pupil is given a certain number of credits. A study pursued through the entire year with five recita- 12 Springfield High School. tions a week, has a value of four credits. A study that can be com- pleted in one-half year has two crcflits. Thirteen credits are required in the first year's work and seventeen for each of the next three years, making a total of sixty-four credits to be made in four years. It is possible for pupils to make more than the required number in a year. ]\Ianual training, music, and drawing are given one or two credits each year, depending upon the number of recitations per week in the subject. The standard of vocal music has been raised very considerably above what it was a few years ago. This is due to the instruction given in this subject in all the grades of grammar schools, and in the High School by a special teacher of music. Fifteen years ago, very few boys could be fo\ind in the High School who were able to read music. Today nearly all of the boys and girls read music very readily, and now, with comparatively little effort, vocal music of a high order is rendered at High School entertainments. The following are the names and time of service of those who have filled the position of High School Principal since the organiza- tion of the school: Beaumont Parks, 1857, one year; Andrew M. Brooks, 1858, one year; George W. Tourtellot, 1859, one year; An- drew M. Brooks, 1860-1805; William Baker, 1865-1868; Benjamin C. Siicsserott, 1868-1869; Edwin P. Frost, 1869-1872; Andrew M. Brooks, 1872-1874; F. E. Feitshans, 1874-1883; J. H. Collins, 1883- 1888; William Helmle, 1888-1899; L. M. Castle, 1899 to the present time, 1902. The following are the names of teachers who rendered most efficient service for a term of years : Misses Sophia Chapin, Jennie E. Chapin, Mary J. Howard, Emma F. Jones, !Maggie E. Muir, Mrs. P. A. Baird, Mrs. 'Mary Feitshans, Mr. E. E. Darrow, Misses Emily A. Hay ward, Mary A. Anderson, Mary H. Kuhl. Miss Emma F. Jones has the distinction of having been connected with this school longer than any other teacher. The first class Avas graduated from the High School in 1861, and had three members. The total number of graduates is 1232. The diplomas of 854 of these have been signed by Mr. J. H. Collins, as Principal of the High School, Hxe years, and Superintendent of Schools, fourteen years. Many of the prominent citizens of this city are graduates of this institution and many otlicrs living in various parts of the country received the benefits of its instruction. Nearly every one whose Alumni Association. 1 Q name appears as an ahimnns, is a useful member of society. Very few have proven to be failures in life. The High School has been called the "People's College," and rightly so, because it is an institution whose benefits are conferred upon, and its privileges open to, the children of the poor and rich alike. Here all meet upon a common plane, and receive the same training which fits for citizenship and the duties of life. This school, on account of what it has been, as well as what it promises to be, is an institution in wliich the citizens of this city take a great interest and which they cheerfully support. May it continue to be the pride of all, by doing that work tliat will best fit for right living and useful service. CLASS OF 1861. Faculty. A. M. Brooks, Principal. Sophia Chapin. Sarah P. White.
