it A . it . CENTENNIAL 18 7 6 Latin test. The first winner was Ralph Hankins. A yearly award has been given since 1919 to the two girls who excelled in Domestic Science Department. Jennie Pingatore and Lorraine Chivington were the first winners. In 1921 'David Davis offered a prize to the student making the highest grades in Junior and Senior English. Lois Hobson was the first victor. Vlhen the Work Medal for gir1's reading was dropped, Mrs. Harlan .I. Smith offered one. Virginia Abbott was the first girl to win the Smith Reading medal. To an ambitious Freshman there is the reward offered by the Shakespeare Literary Society. This reward was first given in 1925 to Thelma Lorimar and Richard Ikleman for leading their class in scholarship. In 1913 the Auto Repair Shops were installed in'the basement of Centennial and were moved to the Annex in 1931. The same year the Aeronautics Department was created. In 1920 the Printing Department was organized. Part of the students' activities lay in productions of their own making. The first Vodevil was given in 1913. Often a play was presented, and The Crisis, the first Senior play to be given in the Centennial Auditorium was produced in 1909. The first musical event to be given in the new auditorium, was Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance. The gym class came into the limelight with the presentation of the first annual Circus in 1915. Lenore Murry was the reigning queen. With the organization of the band and orchestra in 1922-23 the Minstrel made its first appearance. Since 1926 the Commencement Exercises have been held in the City Hall because the graduating classes became so large. Football was initiated in the early days of Centennial. and the first State Championship was won in 1904. The thrilling event of any season was the game between Centennial and her rivals across the river. However. feeling ran so high on these occasions that football was abolished in 1907. Thirteen years later athletic contests between the two schools were re- sumed. ln 1923 the Centennial Athletic Field was purchased, and by 1927 a fine new stadium had been erected. In 1933 a quarter mile standard cinder track was built for the track teams. Basket ball was established in 1909, when the gym was completed. Since 1914 it has been the tradition of each Senior Class to raise the American Flag every morning. The pole was a gift from the Class of 1914, Centennial started with a faculty of three in 1876 and less than one hundred students, and now there are forty-one faculty members and about eleven hundred students. For many years Centennial High School has been rated very highly by accrediting agencies. It was placed upon the accredited list of the University of Wisconsin in 1893 and later upon the accredited list of the University of Chicago. Since then Centennial is to be found on the accredited list of nearly every large university and college in the country. -HELEN HULL. Seventeen
