WGOE t-shirt: The Springer Connection Collection!

Ever since we produced limited runs of Springer Connection T-Shirts and Sweatshirts in 2003, we have gotten requests for Springer Connection items of all sorts. We have now partnered with CafePress.com to produce a variety of high-quality Springer Connection printed items.

Dark colors and long-sleeved shirts highlight recent releases. Black and Navy, Cardinal and Military Green. Springer Connection designs include the classic WGOE Radio logo and Short Cross' "Arising" album cover!

Please click our link to provide your contact information!

The planning has begun for the Springer Class of 1985 our 25th reunion this year. Since the idea of including other classes from the 80's was well received, we are extending an invitation to members of those classes.

The first and probably the hardest part is to find everyone. Our hope is to be able to do as much electronically as possible so we can keep the costs to a minimum. Therefore, we are asking that everyone please click on the link below and fill out the form.

MARJORIE BOOTH BONNET was Principal at Highland Springs School from 1924 to 1944.

She oversaw the largest High School in the County at a time when men were expected to hold the position. Her students felt such regard for her that they called her "Mommie" Bonnet.
