14 CENTRAL CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL ECHO t AMONG THE SENIORS. 1.4-.--iq-Q Tuesday, September 7.-School opened to-day. All who were promoted from Juniors to Seniors are back. We learned who is to teach us but we did not discuss the matter. We got off at 2:26. Paul Foohey did not show up in the afternoon. He is beginning the year well. Wednesday, September 8.-It was very hot in class to-day, but hot days may come, and hot days may go, but school goes on forever. Great class spirit was shown at the election of officers in the afternoon. Election results-Mr. Brennan, presi- dentg Mr. Foohey, secretary, Mr. Weber, treasurer. Out of humility the president tendered his resigna- tion, but the class would not accept it. Thursday, September 9.-School work began in earnest to-day. Brennan got sick in the forenoon and went home. We hope you enjoyed your little vacation, Joe. First football practice was held at Lawton Park. Sixteen candidates reported. 1 Friday, September 10.-Brennan has again re- ported for duty. Bob Beuret worked over time for being inattentive to our friend Orlo's recita- tion. Bobbie, be a good little boy and do not hurt Orlo's feelings. - f Monday, September 13.-The Class was in the usual Monday torpor-the result of Sunday night celebrations. Tuesday, September 14.-Everybody on time to- day. Class pins were discussed after school. l Wednesday, September 15.-Football bugs. Hark- enrider elected captain, Weber, manager. Thursday, September 16.-fA busy day and a post ludum session in physics-no one got a suit- able Pi, Friday, September 17.-Gee whiz! Nobody goti to the Fair. i Monday, September 20.-Everybody seemed all right today but Leo. He was seen again last night in the company of our friend Harkenrider. CNO this is not the Harkenrider that runs away from the Penal farm, but our own Charlie who runs a restaurant on Main street.J John Paul Jones Foohey reported for class at 9:10 this morning. We think that anyone who had to bring such a burdensome name all the way from Creighton Avenue couldn't get here in, time. Tuesday, September 21.-Classmate Haley an- nounced to the class today that he gets his plots for his famous stories from his observation of Charlie Chaplin.-The Face on the Bar-room Floor didn't pass the censor that afternoon. After school, Varsity beaten by Scrubs at Law- ton. Yes, the Varsity needs a scrubbing. 11-1 v Wednesday, September 22.-Senior working over time preparing immortal literature for the Echo Typewriting staff swearing blue streaks. Thursday, September 23.-Sad news for the pen- wielders. Only one story from a bushel-basket- ful selected for the Echo And still the Seniors think they are some story-writers. Who was offended when he was told that he did not have experience enough to write a love story? Friday, September 24.-Football practice at Lawton did not amount to much as Brother Ephrem gave all the-Seniors an extra dose of Physics after 3.30. J oe Brennan was the Iirst to recover his buoyancy, but he didn't thank Archi- medes. I Monday, September 27.-Strange things will happen. Though nobody, dared to mount a street car this morning because the two thousand city caremen are on strike, 'every member of the Senior class was on time. This may be due to the fact that Leo Weber had proposed taking up

a CENTRAL CATHOLC HIGH SCHOOL ECHO 13 The football team has not yet been picked, and itis' doubtful if football will be included in the High School athletics this year,'as many of the students do not favor the game as a High School' sport. - The attendance for September has been most gratifying. The Saturday session begun last spring for the Skiving Club has hal the desired eifect. Anthony Trapp has been appointed assistant in the school book store. Anthony comes all the way from Garrett every day, and we are told that he reads Charles O' Malley while on the car going and coming. He is sure some student. The members of the Faculty ofhlast year who have returned are: Brother Daniel, C. S. C., Su- perior, Brother Exupere, C. S. C., Brother Ephrem, C. S. C., Brother Gregory, C. S. C., Brother Anth- ony, C. S., C. , ' . Brother Edmund, C. S. C., who replaces Brother Nicholas, C. S. C., is a new member of the High School Faculty. He comes to us after a pre- paration of eight years at Notre Dame University. Jerome Miller, Adrian Hayes, and Dawson Hayes of the 1913 Class, are attending Notre Dame 'Uni- versity. Jerry and Dawson dropped in to see the teachers and students before going back to school. We presume that Adrian must have had a date somewhere. About the middle of September, John Reuss, Louis Centlivre and Emmet Rohyans came in to see how things are going at C. C. H. S. rAll three are of the 1914 Class. They have returned to Notre Dame to continue their studies. . Leon Baker, of the 1914. Class, has entered on his second year at Wisconsin University. Gerald Pierre and Don Weber, of the same Class, are at Purdue. They came in to encourage their old Prep chums before joining the Boiler-makers. Bill Mull'er, another -1914 man, has returned to Michigan University. We wonder if he still has the art of making friends. - r Bill Brennan, 1915 Class, has gone to Michigan to keep Muller company, and as a matter of course strike out for a degree in Engineering. , Steve , Weber, 1913 Class, has recently been elected Chancellor of the ,Fort Wayne Knights of Columbus. Charlie Girardot, 1913 Class, has returned to St. Meinrad's Seminary to continue his studies for the priesthood. ' , Brother Nicholas, C. S. C., a member of the High School Faculty of last year is now at Sacred Heart College, 'Watertown, Wisconsin. Brother Bernard, C. S. C., a former teacher here, is su- perior there. Sacred iieart College is used ex- clusively for postulants who intend to become members of the Holy Cross Brotherhood. Rev. John McCarthy, of the Cathedral, has charge of the Christian Dostrine classes of the High School. The High School Orchestra, under the direc- tion of Brother Edmund, C. S. C., has passed the first stage of formation. All things promise for a great orchestra this year, and it is hoped that such a necessary factor in school life will have the encouragement of whole student body.. Every student who has had some practice in instrument- al music is asked to report to the Director. Orchestra practice is held twice a week-YVed- nesdays at 8:30 a. m., and Fridays at 7:00 p. m. Among those who have reported for practice are the following: Piano-Aaron Huguenard, William Fry, Charles Harkenrider, Frank Rogers, Frank Doriot, Robert Kramer. Violin-Joseph Brennan, Lawrence Kelly, Ed- ward Bushman, Edward Duffy, Paul Foohey, Al- phonse Centlivre, Herman Centlivre, Louis Beck, James Huntine. 1 Clarinet-Joseph Zuber. Drums-George Hamilton. Mandolin-Corley Herber. . .T.i SOPHONIORE -CLASS No'rEs. John Till is the only one ofour class who did not return. The others are marching shoulder to shoulder,' and there is much reason to believe that none of them willllag behind. We certainly feel proud of our bunch because we have the best class spirit in school, notwithstanding any- thing said to the contrary by the Seniors or Juniors-and as for Freshies -who are they anyway? You watch our class when Roy and Huguenard and Conway and Wyss start a sprint for the class medal. And we have a lot of dark horses, too. McLaughlin and Derck are pound- ing away at the typewriters, getting in shape to handle the i'Echo stuff at Christmas.-A. H.

CENTRAL CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL ECHO 15 a collection to finance a jitney service for the late-comers. ' ...-cx- Tuesday, September 28.-Another unwelcome class-pin agent made his appearance today. Very few are anxious to get class pins so early because we are well aware that every member of the Fac- ulty believes in the survival of the 1ittest only. It is rather distressing to see quality preferred to quantity unless one has cleared the last hurdle. Wednesday, September 29.-We always had a high opinion of Brother Exuperes' knowledge but we never suspected him of being able to see through a table two inches thick. Our friend Haley was the victim, but class spirit forbids us to mention more. What's the use in closing the doors of our little senior study hall now when we are left alone to study. Brother Ephrem was pretty deft in turning the latch key, but he doesn't need it any longer. Thursday, September 30.-B. E. can look down on a fellow and also look a fellow down pretty well, but today he could do neither with Paul Foohey, so he said: Foohey, get a mask on your face. Now Paul is not so bad looking when he is in good humor. ' C. G. .lill- X-RAY NOTES 111: s We wish to inform a prominent member of the Senior class that unless he devotes his energy to doing what he is supposed to do at a certain hour in school, we must acquaint the authorities of the fact that he has wasted-yes, wasted is the word, andwwe regret we cannot find a stronger one-that he has wasted a whole hour of his class time in writing some foolishness to somebody in skirts who lives outside our city, and we only wish to say this now, that if she didn't live outside the city he wouldn't dare write her. Yesterday, P. J. and F. F. decided not to go home for dinner. P. had a capital of just fifteen cents. They entered the Wellington, and when the Waiter came towards them F. said to P. Got your twenty cents? P. looked at him in dismay. By this time the waiter was at the table calling out, Roast beef or stewed veal? P. was rather hungry, so he said, Give me all you've got for fifteen cents? After he had paid his fifteen cents he saw this sign on the wall All Lunches 15c.', It has been reported that Leo Weber was seen on the street at 10 o'clock, Sunday evening in com- pany with Charles Harkenrider. It grieves us Wery much to hear that our Leo would associate with a notorious police character. Complaints have been registered concerning fthe illegal use of the transom on the north side of llhe Senior room. It is said that immediately after 13:05 P. M. this transom is used for a periscope. it Sl our opinion that this transom should be used for ventilation only. THINGS BETTER LEFT UNDONE. Gordon Kel1y's belt at meal time. Shoe strings-if you have a sore foot. Joe Wilkinson's bow tie. Teaching penmanship to Bob Beuret. Joining the Holy Name Society before dropping Latin. J Trying to find Foohey before 8:00 a. m. Opening a package of cigarettes in a crowd. Showing your knowledge to Brother Exupere, Accounting for Beck's actions. Telling Brother Ephrein you can study better if he lets you chew gum in class. Explaining to a Freshie that he has no mortg- age on the school chairs tApologies to Bro. DJ Telling the Board of Editors your story is original. Asking the school engineer to fire up. THE LEAVES ARE FALLING W Summer, with its labors weary, Now begins to change its hue Into skies both dark and dreary From its skies of sun and blue. Leaves that once were em'rald green. Dying at their Maker's calling Withered by His hand unseen Now are sadly, slowly falling. C. M. Harkenrider.
