Foreword CHF HIS third issue of Black and Gold tells of the personnel and the iinal school days of the class of January, 1935. It also chronicles briefly the general student activities of the first term in this third year of Central High. It in- cludes data of interest to the entire school. It is, therefore, a book not only for the graduates, but for all of Central's students. It is one further link binding into ever closer unity the loyalty, the deeds, the hopes, the aspirations of our en- tire student body. T. FRANKLIN WALSH Dr. T. Franklin Walsh T IS indeed a privilege to dedicate these pages to one who has surmounted stupendous difficulties in molding this great institution out of distinct and widely extended traditions of the past into a strong unit unique in the fidelity and loyalty on the part of such a large student body. ln the principal of Central High School Dr. T. Franklin Walsh we have been most fortunate in knowing intimately a man of the highest moral character and unquestioned integrity, a friend of youth, a prophet of vision, a distinguished linguist honored for his persistent and successful endeavor to promote study of the Italian language, literature and culture. We point with pride to the degree of Knight of the Order of the Crown of Italy conferred on Dr. Walsh by King Victor Emanuel III of Italy, an order regarded as the king's own in that His Majesty is the supreme master of the order. We see in Dr. Walsh such courage, energy and determination to succeed against all odds that we recognize in him an inspiring example to those of us who now stand on the threshold of real life.

Lil's high ideals have often made her seem aloof, but to her friends, especially Helen, she's a fun-loving, dance-loving lass who openly admits fast fox-trots are her weakness. To her friends she leaves behind she says: Make every minute count, for an education when completed, often seems like a fleeting moment in the past. HARRY V.

By W. E. RANDALL, JR. ANY people believe a scientist is an old stooped over professor with gray hair, a Van-Dyke beard, strained eyes with a far-away look in them, and a very lonely disposition. This man is sup- posed to be absent minded and always to be found in a dingy laboratory. Of course there are a few such scientists, but only a very few. Friday night I saw at Brown University the only one I ever remember seeing. I think a scientist is a man or woman, who sees, not only what is to be seen in the laboratory, but also, what takes place in every day life. A scientist need not necessarily be a professor or doctor but may, I think, be just a common citizen who works in some branch of science. In fact I would call myself a scientist as I work in at least three of its branches, namely chemistry, electricity and physics. A cook in a bakery or restaurent is, to my way of thinking, a scientist. He is con- stantly trying to discover something new or improve something old in the line of edibles. A house builder is a scientist. He is constantly striving to make a better house to protect its occupants from the weather. As you see my ideas of a scientist are quite different from most people,s and I could name many other types of people whom I would call scientists. Since you are probably not interested in scientists, I will not bore you longer. What Now ? By HAZEL FARROW S graduates, we naturally are won- dering what is going to happen Hafter the shouting is over? All of our lives we have had something to work toward, some special goal in view, whether we thought of it in that way or not. In high school, the ultimate end was Gradu- ation. Now, weive reached it. What are we going to do afterwards? Some of us will go to college. Some of us will secure positions. Let us hope that 88 those who do will not find them the dead- ly routine of work-work-work, and more of the same kind of work to look forward to, but rather only a beginning to bigger and better things. This is the question. Is Graduation our ultimate goal, or is it merely another door, opening into new fields, not only of work, but of more interesting things? That question must be answered by each for himself. THE BLACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 IEIEIEIQIEI P l.. A.AA . I.- .- -QUT-.CV't 'i.- -.- .-.cd Reminiscing By JULIA PILKANIS HE last term of my senior year in high school has approached at last. Soon, if I am one of the fortunate, I shall depart from Central High School with all the knowledge that my memory has re- tained. Usually, one also takes with him memories of the pleasant experiences and good fun in addition to the knowledge. I have found, however, that during my stay in Central there has been little time for extra activities which give pleasure. It is unfortunate that so many pupils of Central High School have to be crowded into one building. This is the reason for the two sessions. As this plan limits the time to be spent in school, the school has become a place where one goes only for school work since there is so little time left for recreational subjects. Everyone seems to be in a hurry to leave the building after the morning session in order to make room for the afternoon students. All the studying must be done outside of school. There is no time for the teachers to help those students who may want help after class. When I think of all the real pleasure I received while attending school, my memory always takes me back to junior high school days. There we had time to participate in almost every form of social activity. Large gatherings were always at- tending the various school games. In this way acquaintances were often made which resulted in greater school spirit and cooperation. Despite the present disadvantages that I think exist in Central, I have truly en- joyed the few social activities that have been offered to us, namely, the Class Days, Central Nights, and Senior Plays. Although I shall not remain in Central much longer, I sincerely wish that some- thing may be done to do away with pres- ent crowded conditions, so that the future students may derive much pleasure out of their stay at Central. Sunset By MARIE C. MACDONALD Slowly, the Haming sun tipped his head In majestic salutation to the coming j Queen of night, He hung gay banners, in festive array, across the turquoise sky And stood at strict attention 'Till the colored clouds had floated past, Then, when the gay fleet had passed him by, and the day prepared to leave, He gave one last salute to the sleepy, tired world And quietly sank to rest on his couch of gold Behind the portals of his Kingdom in the glowing West. 89 THE BLACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 Archery as a Hobby By JOSEPHINE TIMPERLEY E are enjoying a revival of archery -the sport that has been the prac- tise of kings and the glorification of races. No sport so intrigues the imagina- tion of old and young, man or woman. There is something different about this method of amusement that very few are able to explain. Even the pessimistic lay- man will give a few moments of his time to watch, or even to try his skill. There is something about it that cannot be ex- plained. Archery offers a splendid opportunity to occupy one's leisure time. There is no necessity, as in golf or tennis, to drive several miles to play, a target and a back stop can be put up anywhere. Using a light bow, any person can have a great deal of fun, recreation and exercise when ever he has a few moments to spare. It is one of the finest sports in which a girl can develop an interest while in camp. Since it is an individual sport, she can do it at anytime, never being de- pendent upon others to comprise a team for playing. Most camps and schools are now stressing the importance of such in- dividual sports, because of their use when one has time on their hands. In many camps, boys and girls learn to make part of their equipment. Instruc- tion in manual arts in high schools also offers an opportunity to make bows and arrows. The art of making golf clubs and tennis racquets is limited to manufactur- ing concerns, but with a knowledge of tools, one can make a very fair and cer- tainly a very usable bow by simply fol- lowing closely the instructions given in any of the better books on archery. Of course, an archeris first bow is like an authoris first book, it may be very good 90 or it may be rather poor. Nevertheless, it will be a source of satisfaction to the owner, because it is a product of his own making. Archery, as an exercise has few equals. Pulling the bow for each shot, strengthens the wrists and builds the muscles in the arms, shoulders, chest and back. Walking to and from the target exercises the legs. Stooping over to pick up the arrows is great for the waist-line, and strengthens the muscles in the stomach as well. Anyone can enjoy archery, even the real fat man-the one with the enlarged mid-section who hasn't seen his knees for years. At golf he is a picture. If he places the ballwhere he can hit it, he canit see it, if he places it where he can see it, he can't hit it! With a bow he can play archery-golf, and his physical handicap does not prevent him from obtaining some much needed exercise and recrea- tion. For those who like to hunt, archery offers a real sport. O course, there are some who hold all men guilty of crime who take animal life, but thank goodness the great majority of men who still wear pants and use a razor know and under- stand the thrill that comes from hunting wild game in a primitive fashion. Man never had a more perfect weapon than the bow and arrow, from the stand- point of charm and intimate response, and as I may say, a perfect friend. Feel the keen enjoyment of twanging an arrow toward its mark, yourself. Even if it misses the target, it looks up at you with a friendly, uBetter luck next time, as you reach to replace it in the quiver. The bow is part of the man, and when, by painful effort he has conquered its un- THE BLACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 tamed spirit, it becomes a companion in the field and woods, a light burden when he climbs the winding trails, a prop and stay as he runs and risks a limb, a pro- tector against harmful beasts, sweet com- pany in camp when he tends its simple wants with wax for the string and oil for its timber. He gives it soft shelter from the inclement weather, and at night, it lies by his side, where both may rest from the chase. All your marks need not be living things. Shoot at the yonder clump of grass. On all sides are little targets for your aim. Cautiously you view the field, then pick out a pine cone or a waving tree top. That is a good mark, now shy an arrow at that, and watch it fly swift and close, see it circle in mid-air, and, with perfect grace, wing its way home to mother earth. No harm in that! Or, there squawks a naughty jay, and just to chide him, hard- ly hoping to hit him, you loose an arrow at the rascal. A close miss is better than a hit, and off he fiies confounded by your magic. So the day is none too long for the archer. And when he wants to slay and to capture his quarry, he can do it with the bow. It is not a mere toy, but a man's weapon, honored by our ancesters, and worthy of respect. Archery is not dead, as sometimes we hear it said, and then like Pan in the story, it comes out of the woods, looks at its tomb-and laughs! Drifting By RUTH E. MCKENNEY NE of the greatest of joys during the lazy summer months is, to me, that of drifting dreamily down a sun-splashed stream. In the northern part of Maine is just such a stream and it is one of my favor- ite haunts on my vacation. One can drift along this quiet, tranquil stream and see the beauties of natures unfold one by one like the pages of a book. To shove off from the bank in the early morning hours and drift slowly down the winding stream is a most enjoyable ex- perience. An avenue of trees line the banks of the stream and seem to shut the whole world from view. E As I float on, the trees disappear and now I see broad open fields with here and there a busy farmer tilling his land. A little white farmhouse next delights my gaze, the happy shouts and merry laugh- ter of children playing in the yard falls like the sweetest of music upon my ears. Still further along, the heights of a ma- jestic mountain range rise from the early morning mists. The current of the stream becomes swift and I suddenly am aware that the stream has opened a river. Now comes the task of conquering the current. It is a hard and inspiring fight, and, when it is over and I emerge triumphant, I feel quite proud of myself to think that I have successfully battled the river and won. I resume once again the calm course of the stream until I glance at the sky and discover that it is growing late and I must return or I shall miss the lunch hour. But I know I shall return again to my little stream. 91 THE BLACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 Why Orchids and Not Violets? By MARIE MACDONALD TEAMING, swampy jungle depths, tall swamp grass with razor-like edge, and plants which devour their vic- tims. The continuous buzz of many in- sects, tiny gauzy wings sparkling in the of occasional shafts of sunlight. glow Raucous voiced birds who possess plum- age envied and desired of royalty. Small, unnoticeable, bright-eyed birds who pos- sess the divine music of heavenly orches- tras. ln the midst of all the dark, fever rid- den jungle, the seed of the Orchid is cre- ated. Small, fieshy, yellow green fingers impatiently push their way through mur- ky black moss. Small and unimportant looking in its extreme youth, the orchid plant must fight for its existence. But soon the jungle creatures are amazed at the evidence of hidden life which it sud- denly reveals. Slowly, the almost human bud swells and vibrates with life, im- patient to reach the surface, until sudden- ly it breaks its bonds of satiny green and drenches its swampy home with the radi- ance of its beauty. Sometimes the birth of the Orchid takes place in the wee mysterious hours just be- fore dawn, and it has been born, has lived, and died before the first beam of sunshine has pierced its gloomy domain. Other Orchids swell and burst their buds at the first touch of the sun and be- ing reluctant, so it seems, and sad at his departure, they droop and die when the gates of day are closed. Some Orchid blooms are so magnificent and awe in- spiring and use so much of their energy in bursting their emerald bonds, they last but a few short hours, returning 92 soon, to the steamy depths from which they spring. Now let me paint a word picture of a cool, fern shaded, mossy glen. A brook, laughing and bubbling its life away over pebbles and between boulders, on its way to some mysterious outlet. Willow trees weeping tears of cool shade and dipping long, leafy fingers in the fast moving waters, entreating it perhaps, to linger awhile and exchange secrets. High up in the limitless distance of the sky, a lark carols forth to the new day a song inex- pressively sweet. On a nearby branch a robin calls to its mate and tiny wood- land creatures hurry to their never-ending mysterious tasks. Shyly hiding ineath all this coolness, surrounded with ruiiies of heart-shaped leaves, the'violet lives, the virgin of the woodlands. The sun gently touches its velvet petals with fingers of gold, but the dainty flower retreats to the ferny shade at the edge of the bubbling brook. The sun, sorrowful, slowly sinks to rest with a last despairing display of rainbow colors. Orchids and violets, which do you pre- fer? One depicts the exotic sensualness of the ever mysterious, electrified jungle depths. The other is the essence of un- spoiled virginity, graeeful shyness, and cool woodland glades. One springs from feverish, gloomy, almost sunless places, the other comes from the life-giving cool- ness of willow strewn, ferny banks. One is exotic beauty to look upon, the other a gentle, dainty bloom, filling and drench- ing the air with a perfume forever sought for, but never really captured. THE BLACK AND GOLD -A JANUARY, 1935 Registration Day at Central By MARJORIE SCOTT OST school stories begin with crowds of boys and girls in the corridors, classrooms and advisoris ofhces. That will come later, for this story is different. lt begins with a small crowd of boys and girls huddled under an umbrella hastily brought by a boy who lived close by while they stood at a car stop and a quite unexpected downpour of September rain drenched them thoroughly. uWe might have known it would rainf' wailed a pretty blonde girl. 'cNo lockers till next week. My shoes are ruined and the water is running down my back. She tried to edge her way further under the umbrella. The rain couldn't very well run up your back. That would be contrary to all laws of gravity. The boy who spoke pulled her out. uWhy didn't you wear your bathing suitf' HShe couldn't. A moth ate it,', an- nounced another boy. A laugh rewarded the sally, and the on coming trolley was hailed joyfully. uCentral, here we come,', sang Tom, Ain7tcha glad to see us this bright and sunny September morn?,' The motorman's experience with that crowd was long and varied. He knew most of them from babyhood. Many times he had threatened the boys with umurder ye young scallywagsf' with the police, with Sockanosseit, and with his fist, but he loved them just the same. '4Ah, checks this morning seeing itis too wet to walk and ye can't steal rides off a car as easy as ye steal apples off a man's tree, and ye haven't got your school tickets yet. HHere,s one left from last June. O. K.? The pretty blonde girl offered it smilingly. '4And I got my Dad's pass. He doesn't work till afternoon, so l borrowed it. 0.

Why don't ye try pants' buttons. 1,11 report ye and murder ye at the same timef, 4'Oh, Mr. Flynn, don't be like thatf, '4Would you report the murder at the same time? The motorman did not trouble to reply. He collected the fares, slammed the door shut, and started the car with a jerk that flung those who stood into the laps of those who sat. MWho lost a dollar? As he spoke Tom bent to pick something from the floor of the vestibule, and a chorus of uMe, l did. Right here, was the immediate response. We're hot on the trail. I just picked up a centf' A wonderfully decorated Model MTH drew up along side the trolley at the first red light and Tom, recognizing the driver as a former classmate, raised a window disregarding the rain that poured in on the girls seated there and hailed him. uKeep going, Bob. Whadda you want to stop for. That ainft a car. The light changed before the driver could form a reply, and the car shot for- ward with a speed that belied its age, its horn honking a derisive tattoo under the expert fingers of two girls seated beside the driver. 93 THE BLACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 At each stop more students entered. It was a hilarious trip to school and magic- ally the skies cleared. The sun came out with fair promises. The car deposited its lively load near the school. 'cPoor Tom. He'll have to carry that wet umbrella around all dayf' The pretty blonde girl was sympathetic, but Tom had absently left the umbrella leaning against the control box beside the motor- man's Boston bag. Tom was gone. The car was on its way before the man noticed it. Tom would call for it later at the car- barn office. He had done it before. The crowd poured into the school building, a veritable tidal wave of laugh- ing and chattering youth. Now comes the surging in the corridors, offices and class- rooms. I have read that when a man spends most of his life in jail it is like home to him, and he hates to leave. I can never credit that statement, but I can readily appreciate that when one spends four of the gayest, most carefree years of onefs life in school, one would hate to leave. That reason is often given as an excuse for not graduating with the rest of the class. Some of the more serious minded reflected regretfully it was their last re- union in that building, but the mood passed quickly, and they greeted old classmates eagerly. A ul-Ii, there, how'd you find the World's Fair. uliiasily son. It wasn't lost. .lust right there in Chicawgof' The questioner had nothing ready to match this repartee, and he turned to an- other boy who stood near. nHaven't seen you all summer, Hen. I-Iowid the farm make out? f'Swell. We got burned up, you know, so we turned the fields into a tourist 911- camp. Boy, did it pay. And you should have seen some of the tourists. Goshln Boys swapped summer experiences. Girls eyed new permanents, summed up new dresses, speculated on new teachers and classmates. One could naturally expect a certain amount of commotion and confusion on Registration day in any school. Some new comers did not know where to go and were crowded around the big black- board. They had an idea they should go into the auditorium, but felt they might as well stay with the crowd. Others knew they should go into their classrooms but waited until the last minute. By the black- board the crowd was dense. New shoes lost their beauty, white shoes became a mess, and pet corns writhed in agony. At one second before 8 olclock the corridors, echoing with a chorus of cfwait here for me, cleared and the bell sounded its im- perative summons throughout the build- ing. Classroom doors closed and cards and slips were passed out. Registration had begun. Teachers and Advisors would do well to keep Bayer's Aspirin on hand for only super beings could hope to live through that day without a headache. Tom and the pretty girl sat in adjoin- ing seats. HHere's where I get writer's crampf' Tom flexed his fingers and wrists in ex- aggeration. ' MI don't like filling them out either. I'm glad it's the very last time I'll do it, said the girl shaking her fountain pen, eyeing her cards distastefully and begin- ning on the first one. 'fHuh, quite sure youlll graduatefw Tomis eyebrows were uplifted in unflatter- ing doubt. THE BLACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 c'Well, do you expect to be on the honor roll? 4'N0t me. I'll be right with you.77 MNO talking. The teacher,s voice cut in calmly, very politely and very firmly. For a brief interval there was silence broken only by the diligent scratching and squeaking of pens. UI-Iurry up,', whispered Tom. MThere,s a swell picture in the Albee. I got moneyf' Hliiight. I've got a dime which is good for hot dogsf, said the girl wiping her pen carefully on a scrap of paper and replacing the cap. They handed in their cards and left the room. So we leave them registered for another term to grace the Halls of Learn- ing at Wlinter, Pond and Spring Streets and absorb what knowledge they can.

Their drama began as an act of worship to the God Dionysus, 500 years before Christ. These early tragedies were called uGoat Songsa' because a goat was sacrificed. The Greek comedies resulted from the songs of rustic festivals at harvesting times, and were not as successful as the tragedies. The Government of Athens thought attendance at these plays made the citizens more religious and more patriotic, and bought tickets for those who could not pay. The first theatre was a simple hillside, and the stage, the level spot at the foot. Two thousand years after the Golden Age of Pericles in Athens, came the Elizabethan age in England that gave to the world William Shakespeare, one of the greatest writers of all times. He was quick to learn the thought and feelings of nearly every type of human being. No one has ever surpassed him in the use of English. Many people do not use more than two thousand words in talking and writing. He used fifteen thousand. Al- though he died over three hundred years ago, his plays are still extensively used in schools. In his day, there was no change of scenery, a sign told whether the scene was laid in a forest, in a palace, or by the seashore. Then there were the miracle or mystery plays given by the guilds in England, representing the scriptures from Creation to the Cruci- fixion. The craftsmen, humorously gave to the carpenters the building of the Ark, to the fish mongers, the part of Noah, and his family in the Ark, to the bakers, the 96 last supper, and to the butchers the Crucifixion. Came the day when people began to live in terms of quick action, and with it the 4'Movies. Today we find much criti- cism of the Hmoviesv because of the type of play often presented. Does it not seem strange that an initiative inspired by re- ligion should have so degenerated through the ages? Could our government, as did that of Ancient Greece, purchase tickets, believing a better citizenry would result from attendance at our theatres? l'm afraid not. And yet there are some very worthwhile plays. An intelligent public is demanding more, a crusade is being carried on with many followers, who will not tolerate material offensive to one's morals. Every age has had its MMan of the Hour . Let's hope the present one will produce writers and actors, who will real- ize the vast scope and great value of the play and present drama that will be a source of uplift, inspiration, and right living. Who would dare deny the power of the drama? Its effect over the way we think, feel and act? How uUncle Tom's Cabini' swayed public opinion on the question of slavery! There are those who do not read the papers, but who go to the theatre. There are those who do not go to church, but who frequent the play houses. Mighty is the influence that the drama wields over Mankind! Zoology Teacher: flecturing on the baboonj : ffPlease pay strict attention. To form a true idea of this ugly animal you must keep your eyes fixed on mef, THE BLACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 Fisherman By HAZEL FARROW HE bitter, salt wind howled across the water, pounding the waves against the pitiful little houses, set on piles at the edge of the water. A bleak, leaden sky threatened an icy deluge of rain, while down on a barren, wet pile of rocks stood a lonely little figure in a tattered coat. It was a boy, about fifteen years of age, watching a boat faintly visible in the dis- tance, bouncing along on the waves. Slap -pound-roar-the waves dashed at the rocks at his feet, eddies of water gurgling up in the cracks of the rock on which he stood. Tom had been born in one of those bleak little huts. Life for him was nothing but the search for a living down at the shoreline, where there werenit any rents or landlords, only the merciless sea. The people who live there eked a scanty liv- ing from the sea. Clams-lobsters-eels -all kinds of fish-these were their daily food, winter and summer. Tomis father and mother had joined the Ncolonyn about two years before Tom's birth. Other people-from the cities and the larger fishing towns-looked down on them. They had little or no education. Tom's learning consisted of a knowledge of the sea and its moods, his father's lobster pots and nets, and the little he had un- willingly gleaned from his few years in school. Now he was troubled. It had been an unlucky day when Tom had slipped on the rocks in an effort to secure some crabs. Though usually skillful in clamb- ering over the slippery stones, he had fallen and broken his arm. His father had set it for him, clumsily placing it between two boards. The arm had healed, but it had healed crookedly. It now hung stiff, impossible to use. He couldn't go fishing in the- boat any more. Drearily he gazed at the dory, rocked by the Whitecaps. His younger brother was out there in it, man- fully doing what should have been Tom's job. He wasn't very strong, he shouldn't have gone out today, but it had looked pleasant. The dory was nearing shore, but the wind was coming up. The boy on the rocks shivered. HOh, hurry, hurry, he muttered, but the whining wind was strong, and the boy in the boat was small. Eventually Tom was driven off the rocks. A sleety rain be- gan to fall. Tom's father had gone to the nearby town, or heid have been in the boat with Jed. Disconsolately Tom hud- dled against the hut. That boat was sure- ly heading for the rocks. He eyed the nearby beach. There was a rickety little boat belonging to one of the neighbors, and there were the oars in it. Tom was helpless. He couldn't get anywhere with one arm in that sea. The wind howled about him. Sleet stung his face. Yes, that boat was nearer--near the rocks. A fine fog was sifting down on the water. The fog-horn began moaning in the distance. Tom could scarcely see the boat now, though he knew that it was coming ever nearer. If it were only he in that boat in- stead of his brother. Suddenly he turned and sped up toward the cliff in back of the huts. Then he climbed up and ran toward the road. If any of the neighbors in the huts had been home, this wouldn't have been necessary, but they had gone with his father. In the drizzling rain he waited till a car passed. He held up a hand. The driver paid no attention. A second-finally a third. The third halted. A kind voice inquired, 44Want a lift, boy?', Tom was so excited he could scarcely make himself under- 97 THE BLACK AND COLD - JANUARY, 1935 stood. He poured out his story as quickly as possible under these conditions. uAnd he's heading for the rocks? in- quired the man. uThat,s rightf, The car was swiftly drawn off the road. Then the man alighted. uliead on,H he commanded. Tom needed no second com- mand. The two fairly slid down the cliff and ran toward the dory on the beach. The little boat in the water was danger- ously near the rocks. Tom leapt into the dory, while the stranger pushed off. Then Tom took one oar with his good arm while the stranger took the other. They struggled against the pounding waves, making little headway. They headed toward Jed. To do so, they had to go in the dangerous portion near the rocks. Af- ter a strenuous period they reached Jedis boat. The stranger held it alongside while Tom helped Jed into their boat. Then, taking the oars, they let go of the other boat. Straight for the rocks it headed. Tom and Jed took one pair of oars, while the stranger took the other pair. It seemed as if they would reach the safe part of the beach with their combined efforts. A huge wave caught them, how- ever, just as they were passing the danger zone. The boat struck the last big rock. Tom was thrown out on it. The other two weren't hurt. As they aided Tom onto the beach he groaned. The stranger inquired, 4LWhat,s wrong, son? 'cMy armf, mumbled Tom. The man felt of it. Then he led the boys up to the huts. Jed opened their door. 'cNow, sit here till I get back,', the man cautioned. Tom did so. A few minutes later the man walked in with a black bag. As he opened it he remarked, MI think it's pretty lucky all this happened, you know it? Now this crippled arm can be fixed right. Youive broken it againf' Tom,s face lighted. The wind howled around the hut, and the tide was begin- ning to slap at the piles under the hut. Fog sifted in through the crack in the little window, but Tom and Jed were con- sidering, not the pain and the cold, but the wonder of a miracle that had brought a real doctor to give Tom his good arm back again. Now he could go fishing once more. Nature's Realm By SARAH SOHIGIAN D0 not know how many of you have been on a nature expedition to explore her kingdom as I have. I entered into the forest by a back, winding, narrow path which brought back to my memory the stairways of the old Roman castles which I often read about. The path was covered with colorless, lifeless, dry leaves which crackled to the rhythmic sound of left- right as I walked. Now and then I could hear the bluejays and bob-whites whose calls mingled in the early morning air which was was filled with fresh, sweet- 98 smelling shrubs. A short distance away I could hear the woodpecker busily work- ing on another ill-fated tree whose branches were covered with fresh, crispy, green leaves. As I continued walking, I heard a rippling humming tune which I soon discovered to be a little lively brook with clear, cool, fresh Water, that would be tempting for anyone to drink. Time to return home was near, so I changed my path to a wide, clear lane and singing merrily I departed from natureas riches. THE BLACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 My Three Years in High School By LETTY ROY HEN I first entered senior high school I considered myself grown up. I had worked my way through prim- ary, grammar and junior high school. At last I was ready to enter senior high. I came to school the first morning with an elated feeling, as I thought of the many adventures and interesting things I should experience before graduating. My first grade was the 10th or the sopho- more year. I enjoyed having homework. I can well remember taking home, at the end of each day, every study book I had. I did this because I felt I should be en- vied if I had an armful of books. It was then that I began to dream and plan for my senior year. I would look at the seniors walking by and wish that I were in their place. At the end of the term, when they would all bring in the proofs of their pictures, their friends would comment on them. Finally their picture would appear in the class book. Then they would receive their diplomas. I often wondered if they felt pleased. Then I became a junior. I began to think that homework was not so pleasant after all. More and more of my books found their way to my locker at the close of the school day. The seniors, now that I was almost sister to them, did not seem so overwhelming. They were going to graduate, but I was too. They were seniors because they had worked their way up to it. I, too, would work my way up. Finally I was in 12B-the first of my senior term. I did feel very important, I admit. I did my homework, no matter how hard it was because I had that goal,-that shining light to work toward -to be a senior and graduate. It was dur- ing that term that I went to my older brotheris graduation. As I watched all the boys and girls march up to Dr. Walsh and receive their diploma, a great feeling went from my heart out to them. I wished happiness and success would be theirs when they went out into the world. I watched my brother receive his diploma and tears came to my eyes. He had worked his way toward that shining light and had won. To me, he had accomplished and achieved one of the most important things in life. Now I am a real full-fledged senior. I am doing my best to graduate with high marks. I am sure that, when I graduate, I shall feel that my three years in high school were well spent. Now I walk along the corridor, as I did when I was a sopho- more, but I do not look down at the freshmen and sophomores. I feel that they are working towards the same goal that I worked toward. I look at them with great respect. They, in coming years, will be seniors and will feel the same way I do. Now that I am a senior, I do not feel any different than when I was a sopho- more. I realize that in a few months I shall go out into the world. It will be just a larger school. My teachers will be my friends and employers. My parents will still remain my greatest teachers. My studies will be the career or vocation I have chosen. I have not as yet reached the biggest light, the most shining light- to make a name for myself in the world. I am sure that my three years in high school will have trained me to live courageously and independently. 99 l J THE BLACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 f4The Kings' Hobby By EDYTHE B. JAGOLINZER HE collecting of postage stamps has become known as the kings, hobby, but its real name is philately. Postage stamps are promissory notes which are issued by governments for services to be rendered. Stamps were first put into use in 1842 when the Postal Union was formed by the nations of the world. They came to an understanding that they would deliver each others' mails within certain territories without charge. In this way stamps have done much to cement friend- ships among nations. There are more than 90,000 varieties of stamps in the world. The U. S. alone has over 7,000 varieties. In 1893 the U. S. began issuing stamps to commemorate certain historical events, thus the study of stamps from that date is especially in- teresting. All stamps have various designs and colors. Many of them have reproduc- tions of portraits of famous men and women. Some show ancient buildings, others show animals and plants. There are so very many different subjects illus- trated on stamps that they form an ex- haustless fountain of knowledge for the student as well as the collector. There aretover thirteen million stamp collectors in the world, many of whom are eminent in politics, religion, business and private life. The greatest collector in the world was Mr. Hind of Utica, N. Y., who died only a short time ago. His col- lection has been at auction on the world markets for the past year and a half. 100 King George of England has the second largest collection of stamps in the world, former King Alfonso of Spain, the third, the late King Albert of Belgium, the fourth, and Prince Faud of Egypt, the fifth. Our own President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, is a very enthusiastic collector of stamps. In our own state, Judge Robert Emerson of Probate Court, Pawtucket, has the largest collection. Previous to the issuance of stamps by the federal government, the local post- masters issued their own stamps. The largest collection of stamps issued by Providence postmasters was the property of Mr. John Slater fnicknamed HUncle J ohnvj of Providence. Refusing an offer of 325,000 for his collection, he present- ed it to the R. I. Historical Society where it is now on exhibition. Today there are about 3,000 stamp dealers in the U. S. who offer personal service and expert advice to .collectors and beginners. Every year these stamp dealers cata- logue each stamp and set its price. These prices fluctuate just as prices of other commodities do, with the exception that prices of U. S. Stamps never decline but always increase in value. In many of our schools, philatelic clubs have been formed among students who take a keen interest in this hobby, and many of them have become ardent col- lectors. THE BLACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 How to Make an Experimental Laboratory By W. EMERSON RANDALL, JR. HE first thing necessary for a chemical laboratory is a good location. This must be a place which has good ventila- tion or can have it at a moment,s notice. It is not good to have the sun shine directly onto the chemicals, therefore the selected spot must be protected from direct sunlight. This, of course, does not mean there must be no light. lf possible it should be near a sink and also a gas line. When a. good location has been picked it will be necessary to have some sort of a work bench. A table will make a good bench. If there is no table available a bench can be made by hitching several boards together for the top and attach- ing two by fours or two by threes to the corners for legs. It will be handy to have a drawer or set of drawers. fSee Fig. lj. Some of the drawers should have parti- tions in them. These partitions are to separate the different articles in the draw- er, such as filter paper, labels, candles, and other things. One drawer should be devoted to glass and rubber tubing. An- other drawer with partitions should be used for different sized rubber stoppers chemicals is on shelves which may be covered. A very important part of making the shelves is making them the right width. They should be just a little wider than the bottles that are going to be kept on them. fSee Fig. lj. It is handy to have a glassware drying rack as in figure 2. This is made by driv- ing nails on a forty-five degree slant through a board or several boards hitched together ffor more spacej, or better still to drill holes with the same slant and drive pegs into the holes. A good deal of the apparatus that is used in the home experimental laboratory is easily home made. The first thing that will be needed, probably, is a test tube stand. This is made by drilling several holes, in line, in a board. The holes should be the correct size to allow your test tubes to fit through easily. Now in a board the same length as the first but an inch or more wider drill the same number of holes that are in the first board but about half the size or less. Make sure that the second row of holes are in the same position and the same distance ap- part as the first row. fSee Fig. 31. Op- posite each hole in the wide board drill 1 and corks.

Next cut two pieces of wood the same length, about six inches, and the width of the first board. If your test tubes are going to be or are less than six inches long then make these last two pieces much smaller. Assemble the parts as in figure three. The rack may he any desired length, but one foot is the most convenient length to have one about the laboratory. Another very useful piece of apparatus is a ring stand. One can be made by first threading two or three inches at one end of a one quarter inch round rod which is about one or two feet long. Then drill a quarter inch hole, in a board six inches Wide and eight inches long, about one and one half inches from one end and three inches from each side. Now counter sink a hole, the size of one of the nuts you are going to use on your rod, in one side of the board. Attach the rod being sure that none of the rod sticks out be- yond the surface of the side with the counter sunk hole in it. fSee Fig. 40. If there is no gas near your bench you will need an alcohol lamp. One can be made from an ink bottle or a glue bottle that is shaped like an ink bottle and has a screw cap. Drill a hole through the center of the cap and insert a metal tube fbrass is best because it does not rustj. To make a wick twist some cloth tightly and put it through the metal tube as in figure five. When the lamp is not in use keep a small bottle, or something which fits snugly, on the top. If you are not fortunate enough to have water near your laboratory you can easily assemble a water system. The arti- cles you need are: a gallon jug, a faucet or gas jet, a piece of glass tubing and ta piece of rubber tubing the same size, an old electric light refiectorg and an old but water tight crock. Build a shelf a foot or more, according to the length of your rubber tubing, above the top of the bench. Cut a hole in your bench, or in a board which you can attach to the side of the bench, just a little smaller than the elec- tric light reflector. Build another shelf directly underneath the hole. Mount the faucet beside the sink so that the rubber tubing is not bent around too many corn- ers. Above the jug should be a support to keep the rubber tubing from kinking. fSee Fig. 75. The jug should be as high as possible above the faucet so as to ob- tain the best pressure at the faucet. Leaks in the tubing stop the system. To start the water system turn off the faucet and fill the tubing with water, then put the glass tubing in the. jug, which should be kept full. The chemicals needed will depend up- on the kind of experimental work to be done. Here is a list of a few chemicals for some simple experiments: 1-Inav RU' 5-HALL.

VIGNEAU RIANGULAR ACRESH is the home of a small family that is placed in a setting of a forest. It is--a very old house and of queer architecture. The house is just what the name expresses. It is of triangular shape and the six rooms are that way, too. Everything pos- sible is triangular: the furniture, rugs, lamps, and linen. The house is of grey stone with green blinds. The patches of Howers are tri- angular. Beside the house is the tradition- al well. It is built as much as possible like a triangle. In the yard is a -large apple tree, with a small triangular seat placed in the crook of one of the branches. From the apple tree to the lower part of the yard is a path of triangular Hagstones ending in a flight of stairs. At the base of the steps is a delightful spot. The silvery brook ripples over the stones of many colors and designs. Over- hanging the 'cDryad, as it is called, are five or six weeping-willows. Not far from the 6'Dryad,' is a pictur- esque garden covered with blue and white violets, relieved here and there by the yellow of Hbutter and eggsf' This circle is surrounded by several small birches. It is the ideal home for day dreaming. When you can finally leave your day dreams behind, youill discover a minia- ture duplicate of the house. It won't take you long to find the daughter of the house, busy at work with her babies. Wouldn't you like such a home for your day dreaming and wouldn't you call it 'House of Dreamsw? 105 E BLACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 12A CLASS OFFICERS Seated: Mary Caito, ViF8-P7'0Sid81'lf,' Thelma Fenner, Serretary.

It is a time when you see relations and friends whom you have not seen for some time, and you re- ceive joyful greetings and lovely gifts from hosts of friends. It is the time when the toymaker is bustling about creating a doll or some plaything for baby sister, and a sled or toy solders for little brother. The jeweler and Horist are kept busy preparing at- tractive gifts for some admirer to give big sister. The confectioner is busily prepar- ing candy for us all, for what is Christ- mas without sweets? These things, com- bined, make all of us busy and at the same time very happy. The houses look very cheerful with wreaths on the doors and electric candles in the windows. These homes with their different colored lights shining brightly always look so gay that one cannot help but be cheerful. Everyone is so busy buying or tying up presents that they cannot help but reflect the spirit of Christmas. Mother is making sure she has made enough mince pies and plum puddings for the big dinner, or that the grocer has sent everything she order- ed. She worries for fear the turkey will be tough, the turnip strong, or the gravy brown. Big sister has the Christmas tree to decorate. The tree must be just high enough so that, when the star is on the top, it will touch the ceiling. Each piece of tinsel must be put on separately. There are always two or three ornaments broken and new ones must be purchased at the last minute, but in the end the tree is very attractive with its red, green, and silver balls and little lights. Fatheris job is on Christmas morning. He stuffs himself with pillows, puts on a wig and beard, and dresses like Santa Claus. Baby sister and little brother climb on his knee, while they tell him what good children they have been. Santa always wears a smile which makes him a very likable chap. He gives the children their toys and tells them to mind mother and daddy and be good children, then he leaves them laughing and romping about. Dinner is served, and mother's worries are over, for everybody tells her how good the dinner is. After the meal they sit around the table, nibbling on nuts and eating figs and dates, while they tell of their doings since the last time they saw each other. Later uncle must play the piano while Cousin Helen sings. Everybody must do something to help entertain the group, and so the day goes on with its gaiety. 107 THE BLACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 A Day in the Life of Mother Central By MARJORIE Scorr QW ith apo-logies to Katherine Dayton of the Saturday Evening Postj CHARACTERS :- Rihs Rihsette Twins Mother Central Averagie Stabak Mother Central puts finishing touches to the breakfast table in the diningropm. There is an abundance of mental food, English, French, Latin and so ion, all very attractively prepared.

It is a piece of written work con- taining many careless mistakes in gram- mar, spelling, and penmanship. It can be regarded from two different angles. First we shall consider the point of view of the student. Looking at the composition through the eyes of the student it is a punishment inflicted by a heartless teacher, who gets a wicked pleasure in giving such an assignment. It means several hours that could be spent on something worthwhile must be spent on the disagreeable task of writing a composition. The student first tries to decide on a topic. After several unsuc- cessful attempts, he finally decides on something that holds no interest for him, but will, perhaps please the teacher. Then he tries to remember the many rules that the teacher tried to leave fresh in his mind, but he finds it useless. Every sen- Failure vs. By SARAH E started out a poor fool, taking his ' first step into the unknown world. What a fool! Wonit someone please tell him what is in store for him. Failure vs. Success-not knowing what will befall him. He thought he could fool the world, but the world was only to fool him. His high ideals soon crashed down around him. Why? Because he was trying to get ahead of the other fellow. He thought of his home, mother, dad, and friends. Tears of humiliation rolled down his cheeks. What would they think? He resolved to work harder and harder from the bottom up. His first job was a street cleaner, then 110 tence he writes must contain at least one mistake, and, in an effort to make it more flowery, he changes it only to make it worse. The composition is just another way of lowering the average mark and making it harder to pass. The composition in the eyes of the teacher is no more pleasant. She thinks of it as a very disagreeable way to spend an evening. While her friends who have chosen a more pleasant vocation are out having a good time, she sits at home cor- recting papers. She sadly wonders how those students could make the same mis- takes after she drilled them for a whole week. The composition is just another unappreciated part of the teacherls work. After considering all these things, I can see no reason for continuing the writ- ten composition in the English course in the High Schools. I am sure that neither the teacher nor the pupil would mourn if it were abolished completely. Success SoH1c1AN a promotion to help construct roads on the highway department. Perspiration formed daily on his face, his muscles became hard, his face red with health, he was happy, but was in hopes of better days. At last! Two years of working hard, he was noticed by officials and made a first- class surveyor. His dreams have come true, he is happy once again. His next move was home, to see his folks and friends he loves. We all can be a success if we try, and try hard. We must work the same as the other fellow, but have a smile for all, and an ambition for a higher goal.

MCKENNEY AVE you ever felt the lure of the sea? Waking up at sunrise on a beautiful summer morning and hearing the pounding of the surf is, if you are a lover of the sea, a wonderful experience. The beating of the waves upon the shore is like the stately measure of an old fashioned waltz. I have always had the feeling that the sea is a personal friend of mine. I was born not far from the ocean in the north- ern part of Maine and since childhood I have loved to watch the different moods of the ocean. If you chance to go calling on the sea early in the morning, you will find her an entertaining hostess. She is calm and seems to smile a cheery welcome to you. Her children, the waves, roll merrily up- on the beach and call to you to come out and join in their play. You may, if you wish, stop and play awhile and then continue your wandering way along the beach. Farther along you will come to high cliffs of sea-washed rock and the water dashes madly against them, then scampers away like a puppy chasing a ball across the floor. The water is as green as an emerald and looks very invit- ing, but, if you know the ways of the sea, you will not try to intrude upon her privacy. One of those seemingly innocent waves could sweep you out to sea in a few seconds, and it takes an expert swim- mer to battle successfully old mother ocean. 112 Have you seen the sea during a storm? To learn the real power of the mighty ocean it is necessary to watch it during a storm. The water is gray and sullen and its steady pounding now sounds like a dreary funeral dirge. Thunder rolls across the sky and vivid flashes of light- ning tear great gaping wounds in the low- ering black clouds. For a moment the sea is like glass rising and falling with a gentle swell. Suddenly without warning it breaks loose and there is a terrible noise and tumult like nothing ever ex- perienced before. The waves reach the height of giants and wash up to the very edge of the road and subside as though angry because they cannot reach farther. Each onrushing wave goes a little beyond the one before. I have watched the sea during many a stormy hour and at one time it stretched out its arms and gath- ered up a house as though it were merely a piece of driftwood. A few years ago with scarcely an effort it tossed a giant ocean freighter upon the beach. The power of the sea is limitless if it is treated kindly. Goodbye dear mother ocean.

THE BLACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 On Chewing By MARJORIE SCOTT INCE the time, ages ago, when our caveman ancestors chewed and picked the bones of the dinosaur, our nature has been to chew. When they chewed they were happy. It is known that these bones were used as weapons of warfare, but if they had kept on chewing the bones would not have been used for such a purpose. A certain canned milk company adver- tises widely, 4'Milk from Contented Cowsf' What makes the cow so notice- ably contented?There is only one answer. She chews her cud. I'm not quite sure what the cud is, but whatever it is she chews it contentedly. So the company is advertising quite truthfully this time. Witness the baby contentedly chewing on its soft little thumb. The modern nurse protests in horror and removes the great- est joy of babyhood. The baby, who is really quite resourceful, nuzzles around and finds a bonnet string, a bib, the corn- er of its pillow or blanket, anything, and starts chewing. Nature believes in chewing. When I, the self-pityi-ng victim of a tonsillectomy fsee Webster'sj was ordered by my doc- tor to uchew gum to limber up those stiff jawsf' I wondered if I had heard correct- ly. Would that all doctors' orders could be so pleasantly obeyed. Now examine the teeth of a cow. You will observe she has just one row of teeth. I never can remember whether they are upper or lower teeth, but you will see if you examine her mouth. Those teeth are similar to our own molar teeth, broad and Hat, ideal for chewing. Now take a look at the tigeris teeth, not me-you, long and sharp. A tiger couldn't chew a cud if he tried, and no one ever saw a contented tiger. Content- ment and chewing are born companions. Here again nature steps in to supply the demand for an adult human could not chew his thumb. Somewhere in the tropic- al countries a tree grows whose sap pro- vides a substance from which a benefici- ent science has devised a perfect chewing medium. The manufacturers are million- aires, thanks to nature. A five cent piece, a nickel, pushed across the counter of al- most any drug, candy or department store will be at once exchanged for almost a week's contentment, in a small package which fits pocket or pocketbook. You draw out a flat piece of greyish substance about two inches long and half an inch wide. There are five in a package. You in- hale the delicious odor, and then you get your first whiff of happiness. You double it up, it folds like a piece of rubber and is much the same consistency, and slip it into the mouth. In class, this must be done as swiftly as possible, perhaps while stooping to pick up a dropped pencil or handkerchief. A little practice will make anyone an expert. Close your teeth on it, think of the cow and the way she acts. Copy her. You will be conscious of a deep satisfaction prevading your en- tire being. In emergencies, such as being called upon to speak, the gum can be tucked quickly between the cheek and teeth. With practice anyone can do it. You will notice that the cheek is conveni- ently elastic for this purpose. Then notice how your outlook on life changes. Studies become a pleasure. Problems solve them- selves. The sun shines. You are as happy as the baby with its thumb, the cow with her cud and your ancestors with their dinosaur steak bones. At peace with your fellowmenl 113 THE BLACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 Anticipation of Graduation By MILDRED KLORIKITIS NCE to every pupil comes a day that is indelibly stamped upon his mem- ory. This day is graduation. Of course there will be other days that will remain firmly fixed in his mind, but this day should be regarded as the first outstand- ing step in his life. Graduation is an event to be looked forward to with eagerness. One diction- ary interprets graduation in this man- ner: Mthe admission of a student to a degreef' This is a dry, vague meaning and does not intimate the expectations, joys, fears, and sorrows that are usually connected with graduation. A month before this never-to-be-forgotten day, pupils wear out the soles of their shoes trotting back and forth from the office where their names are securely tacked up. They weakly hope that a dark blue pencil mark has not been efficiently drawn through their name. If their names re- main, they breathe a sigh of thankfulnessg but, if their names have been crossed out, they are cheered up by friends who tell them that maybe they will pull through before the month is over. Such is life! A minority of students have an air of nonchalance concerning graduation, but in their innermost hearts they are dream- ing and planning, and always waiting for the moment when they will march up the platform to receive their award - their diploma. The majority of students con- fide their hopes and fears to their closest friends and anxiously await their gradu- ation. The Pirate's House By SARAH SOHIGIAN APPROACHED the doorstep to find the door left ajar, but continued my course although cold sweat had formed on my brow. Upon entering the barren hallway, I discovered at the extreme right, a door, on which the spiders had been at work. I opened the door and entered. Suddenly I felt myself sinking, and with horror-stricken eyes, I glanced at the floor, only to find a lion skin rug. I walked towards an old walnut bureau on which the dust had formed, the length of my little finger being its depth. In the was a picture of old cruel pirate, center of the bureau one-legged Joe, the whose features made my hair stand on end. My roaming eyes soon revealed curi- ous weapons hanging on the wall, and I 114 soon found each one engraved in- Deathl You can imagine exactly how I felt at this time. The windows, although heavily sealed, gave me a feeling that I was being watched at every movement I made. This sensation made me turn around, only to find before me, big, green, glaring eyes, which blinked at in- tervals. I was so horrified that I was about to give up hope of ever getting out of this enchanted room, when I heard a familiar sound. Walking towards the direction from which I heard the sound, I came upon Snowball, who was sitting on a three-legged stool, and resembled a real pirate. I grabbed pussy and started for home, never to try to discover any more pirate homes. THE BLACK AND GOLD e- JANUARY, 1935 On Carrying Bundles By ALMA WIAINWRIGHT ARRYING bundles is an inconveni- ence which everybody experiences, except maybe the very wealthy, who have chauffeurs to attend to this detail for them. The disadvantage of this task is ex- tremely noticeable around Christmas time, when we are doing ou-r Christmas shopping. Everybody has witnessed little incidences which are quiet comical, but if the comedy is on oneself, it is quite the reverse. I say this from experiences. One cold snowy day, while doing Christmas shopping, I had my tired arms filled with bundles. My right arm in par- ticular was Very stiff and I wanted to stretch it. Forgetting all about the bundles it held, I moved it just a little bit, but it was enough to make one small package fall to the ground. I looked around to see if there was anyone whom I thought might get it for me. Upon seeing no one, I stooped to pick it up, slipped on a piece of ice and went sprawling on the side- walk, the bundles flying in all directions. This time, hoping there was none about who saw me in my fancy dive for the package, I saw a crowd about me, some trying to help me get up and others scrambling for the lost bundles. I reached my feet as soon as possible and took pos- session of my bundles, thanking every- body for their kindness, and trying to hide by embarrassment while doing so. I did not know what to do next, for as long as I stayed there, it seemed the crowd would remain. The answer to my question came at last when I saw my bus coming around the corner. I mounted the steps but to my disappointment there were no vacant seats and hardly any standing room, while standing I swayed back and forth, always in fear I would repeat my previous act. On another trip I had bought a large lamp shade, and as I wanted it right away I had to carry it. While walking through the streets, I was thinking more about how conspicuous I looked than where I was going. I finally came to my senses when I was practically in the arms of an elderly woman, who probably thought I was a little crazy. I, very hurriedly, begged her pardon, for everybodyis eyes were staring at me, I proceeded on my way, this time keeping my mind alert and eyes open. On the other hand I have noted other people's experiences. The following is one of the most interesting. A man, walking down the street, was loaded with bundles. He had a very disgusted look on his face and was walking as if he were in a hurry. At his side was a little follow carrying a bundle. Despite the fact it was almost as big as he and that he had to run to keep up with the pace of his father, he gave the appearance of being very happy. In view of all the facts, I recommend that when having bundles to carry, which we all have at some time or other, try to have the pleasant expression of happiness on your face, like the little fellow in my story. 115 THE BLACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 On Carrying Bundles By ALICE WAINWRIGHT ARRYING bundles is something we all do. There are several ways to carry them, and everybody has his par- ticular way. ' The most common way is to carry them in your arms or by a string attached to the package. The latter will be success- ful if the string is heavy and tied securely, but if it isnit, trouble will surely occur. Children use various methods to carry bundles. Some carry them in their arms, but generally they like to drag them in a cart. This method seems to give them great enjoyment and they don't mind run- ning to the store. Whenrboys and girls get a little older they donit like to drag carts, but they do like to ride bicycles. Baskets are attached in front of their bi- cycles and bundles can be carried in this manner. Occasionally in this country you see Italians carrying big heavy hundles on their heads. This is very common in Italy, but we Americans would never think of carrying them in this fashion. The ln- dians used to strap their bundles on their backs. This method left their hands free to protect themselves, but during this age one does not feel this protection necessary. One way that I like to see bundles car- ried is by a dog. He grabs the bundle in his mouth and walks proudly home. Of course, he always gets a reward for this fine piece of work. Although it might be just a pat on the ba-ck, it is sufficient, for he never fails to carry out his job. In parts of India, elephants are used to carry bundles. They curl their trunks around the bundle lifting them high into the air. Sometimes when there is a lot to be carried, packs are strapped on their backs. Elephants being so big and strong can carry a large load without noticing it. In the desert of Africa camels are ex- tensively used. Bundles are packed on their backs for long journeys across the desert. Although there are many other ways to carry bundles l think these are the most common. The Golden Wave The Golden Wave has survived the test, Taking the State Title in stride, LaSalle, Cranston, Hope and the Rest, Have felt the strength of Central's tide. With a backfield strong and fast, And a line of the same proportions, The opposition just couldn't last, Nineteen points was their just propor- tion. 116 But when you gaze upon the crowd, With pride of the finest sort, Remember Coach Curtin who toiled hard, The man who fought and taught. Surmounting obstacles is not so hard When the spirit is molded true, That's synonymous with the football squad And the students,-you and you. Josrrn M. ENNIS-104.

It was dressed in white with' distributed patches of climbing roses which added scent to its atmosphere. The spotless Windows were curtained in clean, fresh, crispy- looking ruffled Voile. The front door seemed to extend open arms and to wel- come one. The old red brick steps held impressions of tiny feet. With a last glimpse at this fascinating house, one can pass on with a feeling of contentment to return someday to view it again. Sunset By MARIE MACDONALD OR miles, nothing was to be seen but tossing waves of sapphire, tipped with pearly crests. Occasionally a gull dipped suddenly out of nowhere and dis- appeared with a flame-touched fish held tightly between beaks of gold. In the blue distance ragged mountains of ebony, wearing crowns of ivory, pleaded patiently at the gates of heaven, while at their naked feet impatient waves were sobbing out their age-old sorrows. Against the far horizon a tiny speck appeared and slowly took on the shape of a small fishing junk which, like a startled mild thing, ruffled its scarlet sails at the teasing wind. The restless ocean grew suddenly calm -A mirror of gold,-reflecting the wonders of the mighty Artist who dips his brush in the liquid color of rainbows, using for his canvas the ever-changing universe. Lockers By MELVA KETTLEBAND THINK that a quarter of the world must be made up of lockers. Every- where you go, you will find lockers. Golf clubs have them for members, employers have them for employees, athletes have them in the shower-rooms, and schools have them for students. The lockers of Central High are in- convenient and a bother to students. Un- like the majority of students I have no feeling of gratitude when locker keys are given out. I think wistfully of grammar school days when we hung our coats on hooks and put our books into our desks. When I receive my key, which I usually 118 lose, I immediately visualize the locker which it fits. I know it is going to be very small and probably a half a mile from my home room. Whether it is a top or bottom locker, I have my difficulties. If it is a top locker, I cannot reach the hook to hang up my coat. A bottom locker is just as inconvenient, because, everytime I stoop down, a run starts in my stocking. Now I realize that it is impossible to do without lockers. But I do think that lockers could be made larger and be situ- ated in such a place that it would be con- venient for the students.

Teamlw Just listen to that crowd yell. But this is only a mild idea of what you really hear at football games, especially when Cen- tral is one of the main contenders for the schoolboy crown. Look at that human tower-plow through the 'cstonewallw ahead of him! But, just as he is about to get loose to make a dash for the goal-line, some brilliant and fast man on the opposite team plunges through and around the end, and all but makes Central's man Hy. OW! That ground must have felt hard. Oh, well, another chance will come for him to make -the touchdown which the crowd keeps yelling for. Just wait. Gee! What a nice play that was. I guess our team isn't so dumb. Whoa! Whatis happening? The op- ponents have the ball! Central's man is almost on top of him. Some quick pass- ing-another man has the ball, and down the field he goes with no interference on Centralis part. Desperately they stride to catch up with him, running as though wild horses were chasing them. The ball- carrier is on our l0-yard line. Yeah! Rah! Central's man makes a last dive at him and crashes him to the earth. The score which was going to be made for the others was stopped in the nick of time. Hold that line! Hold that line! The l22 stands are fairly shaking with the clamor and din of the crowdis enthusiastic cheer- ing. l, myself, am having a great time at- tacking the poor, unsuspecting young man in front of me. His overcoat is actually beginning to look threadbare as a result of my too strenuous antics. My apology to my victim is intermingled with wild cheers from the grandstand as our team crosses the goal-line for the much coveted touchdown. Whistling, stamping of feet, cheering, and the waving of arms is all that can be seen or heard at this particular moment. The other side is strangely silent, because our team cannot be stopped. A few more minutes of play and then, the referee's whistle blows for the half period. Now we view the band in all its splendor. They certainly look handsome, and can they play! Theyfre the best. All too soon they march back to their seats. Here comes the team! Ready to con- tinue their play and victory over the others. The second half is very much like the first half including the loud cheering of the spectators. A great pause - the player is getting ready to kick. What a kick! That ball went flying as if on wings. Hurray! Over the goal-posts for that final point, and another Victory added to Central's long string of them. THE B LACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 1 ' f,'.

In the following paragraphs I am going to point out to you the ones who have helped to make the Centralite successful. First of all, without the splendid co- operation in every way possible of Dr. T. Franklin Walsh, our principal, the faculty, and the entire student body of the Central High School our paper would not have existed. Next, Miss Helen M. E. McCarthy, our conscientious faculty director, who, with her expert guidance, has given us a paper worthy of representing Central High School. Now, I delve into the Centralite staff, or my staff, as I am proud to call them. The Centralite was fortunate to have such a person as Bernice LeBer on its staff. She, with Paul Anjoorian, worked long and hard, striving to produce a live-wire newspaper. When a story was needed or a proof to be read dependable Bernice was always present. A large amount of credit goes to her for making the Centralite the fine paper it is. Our Business Manager, George DeGiorgis, who possesses keen business acumen has brought us over many a hard bump, and he was ably assisted by Mary Stevens. Charles Burdon, our Circulation Director, who filled his position nobly, shared honors with Hazel Farrow. Hard working Tom Conway - give him an ad and see him smile - was our energetic Advertising Manager. No praise too high for the manner in which Zelma Silverstone, our General Secretary, handled her job with the assistance of Mary Cavaliere, one of our hardest work- ers. Our Sports Department, headed by William Spaniel with Morris Ollove and Joseph Diamond, assisted by William Levesque, Clayton Memphos, George Larkowich, James McCloskey, and George l THE CENTRALITE STAFF Front row: William Spaniel, Sportsg Ernie Coclere, Humorg Miss Helen McCarthy, Faculty Directory Harry McKenna, Editor-in-Cliiefg Morris Ollove, Sportsg Vincent Clement, Publicity Chairman.

Robert lVlcNaught who has for- gotten more about music than most of us will ever know, was editor in that depart- ment. Now for the humor maestros headed by that one and only man about Central, Ernest Codere. Al Kauffman, the other maestro, told of the Central events and the doings of the lads and lassies in verse. The 4'Professor's column was always in- teresting. Josephine Dyer and Raymond Littlefield efficiently handled the news of the Central Clubs. Our most able Literary Editor, John Moran, had charge of the intellectual side of the Centralite with his capable assistants, Mary Smith and Eleanor Hackett. No paper can exist with- out a Publicity Boardg the heads of our Board were Vincent Clement, Eugene Buonaccorsi, and William Newell. Last, but not least, the men behind the big stories, Eugene Latina, Edmund Galiano, Donald Bishop, Arthur Devenish, Joseph Madden, John,Conway, and William Sen. Our Re-Write Editor, Joseph Ennis, per- formed a man-sized job in his position. Thus, my friends, you can readily see why the Centralite could not help but be a success.

VIGNEAU ID you know that Dolly Madison was the most popular woman in America? She lived a long time ago- but she achieved for herslf more univers- al popularity than any other woman. Someone asked her one day, MDolly, why is it that everybody loves you?,, And Dolly replied, 'cWell, I love everybody! That's one of the biggest secrets about being popular. Be enthusiastic about things-big and small. Take this for your pet motto-Be interested and you'll be interesting. What kind of an impression do you make? Have you 'a clear healthy skin, hair and hands that show care, and dress neatly and becomingly? Are you absolutely sure about etiquette? Know what fork to use, how to introduce two people to each other? Or what to say to your hostess? Of course, you know how to dance, play bridge, swim, play all sorts of games and understand sports. A girl who can swim well, play tennis, ride horseback, sail a boat, make a camp- fire, paddle a canoe, or land a nice trout is just that much farther ahead in a popu- larity race than a girl who can't. Are you struck dumb when you meet a new person? Do you wish the Hoor would open up and swallow you? Or do you know how to talk to him? Where's your imagination? Hereys a new person about whom you know nothing. What could be more exciting? A real mystery! Be a detective. See how much you can find out about that person in five minutes. Don't get in the shade of a popular girl, then shut up and wilt. Speak up- you've as much to offer as she. lf you want boys to be friendly towards you'-be friendly to them. The most popular people I know are those who think of themselves last al- ways. They are always doing the nice things for people, saying the cheery words, loving everybody. Older people, youngsters and big sisteris friends loving you is what I call being popular. What Would Happen If- By ALBERTA MACDONALD AND EVELINE BROWNE Thelma Fenner stopped talking? Miss Ellis wasn't good natured? Every traffic ofhcer obeyed rules and was at his post? Mr. Chase was serious? ,loe McLaughlin didn't wear his trench coat? Mr. Myers didn't use big words? Helen McCormick wasn't making wise cracks? '4Micky Johnson couldn,t tickle the ivories? 126 Mr. Brown didn't have a pleasing smile. Chester Lozowski wasnit taking notes in shorthand? c'Eddie7' Wagner and Jerry Vance dis- agreed? Grace Carnevale didn,t greet us with her cheery smile? Mary Piesack stopped giggling? V. Clement wasn't prepared in Eco- nomics? Edith Buckley didn't drive her own car to school? E BLACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 ND HOOL BA SC GH I H AL NTR CE I-I NJ '-J ,,, THE BLACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 A Mail Man By JOSEPHINE TIMPERLEY' WAS waiting for the noon train at a ' small out-of-the-way railroad station in the mountains when I became aware of the rapid approach of a rather dilapidated truck. Side curtains were flapping wildly from its weather-beaten top, and steam was coming from its dented radiator. The little car slid into the station grounds and came to a sudden stop at the baggage platform. , While it stood jufling and blowing, an individual stepped down on the battered running board and began throwing canvas bags, mail bags, on to the ground. He looked less like a mailman than anyone I had even seen. Instead of the regular grey-blue of the city carrier, he wore an outfit more characteristic of the West, the West as one knows it from story books. He wore heavy knee-high leather boots, crusted with mud, from the tops of which there drapped large bows of horse-hide lacings. His trousers were black whip- cord riding breeches gathered at the Waist by a tan canvas belt, very long and wide, with a brass buckle. A holster containing a dangerous-looking revolver dangled at his right hip, but this was partly covered by a jacket of red and black plaid, which resembled a lumberjacket shirt minus the tails. The sleeves, through numerous holes of which could be seen a blue cot- ton shirt beneath, were frayed at the el- bows. Around his neck he wore a dark blue bandana, and on his head a grey sombrero. Little could be seen of his face, which was successfully masked behind a week's growth of beard, but he appeared to be young and, if shaved and polished, a rather handsome young man. Further observations were impossible, for, jump- ing back into his truck, this mountain mail man rattled off as suddenly as he had appeared, raising a cloud of dust be- hind him. The Central High School Orchestra HE Central High School Orchestra is under the direction of Edward J. Grant, assistant director of music in the Providence Public Schools. The personnel of the organization includes the follow- ing: Stanley Karpenia, concert master, and Joseph Iannucci, principal of the second violinists. Pasco Nero is student director of the organization. The group 128 meets in its entirety Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in the auditorium. Tuesday and Thursday the string section rehearses string ensemble music in the Music Room. The orchestra performs for class days, senior plays, and at graduation, for which the Jupiter Symphony by Mozart, is in preparation.

THE BLACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 Debating Society HE Central Debating Society opened its season on the second of October, continuing a long tradition of weekly forums for a free discussion of social and economic problems. On that Wednesday and those following, it met in room 218-A, extending a hearty welcome to those who desired to associate with an outstanding organization, working for a common cause. Vera ratio, Qsound argumentl, the motto of the society, stands as the objec- tive of the members. The weekly programs have been varied and interesting, ranging from the ridicu- lous to the sublime. A debate among the members of the club, on the Federal Aid to Education question, which is the olli- cial subject of debate for the year, pro- vided enjoyment for the members, as well as the visitors. The uLife of the Frog furnished the humor for a later discussion. The club has accepted an invitation to continue its membership in the exclusive Brown University Invitation League, and is seriously considering joining the R. I.

A few weeks ago, the Circolo Petrarca sponsored a dance which was held in the recreation room. At the second meeting, the members of the club were greatly honored by Miss Golini, a teacher who has recently re- turned from Italy. She spoke most inter- estingly on the Italian school system. The Christmas meeting of the Circolo Petrarca was held on the evening of December 19. Parents and friends were invited. A story by Fucini, NL,Oriolo col Cuculof' was transformed into a play and enacted by the members of the Italian six class. Petrarca There was also Christmas music and a New Year's dialogue. The club as a whole has learned many famous Italian songs, and have attempted to learn a few new Italian games which were all very amusing. The club is composed of 53 members, the oliicers of which are: President, Femand Gabrieleg Vice- President, Sue Cerbog Secretary, Elena Davidg Treasurer, Raymond De Matteog President of Social Committee, Raymond Andriozzig President of Program Com- mittee, Carlo Zuccolo. The club holds its meetings either in room 208 or in the recreation room the third Thursday of the month. 137 THE BLACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 Central Hi-Tri T the first meeting of the Central ' Hi-Tri, which was held in the club- room at the Y. W. C. A., the girls were made acquainted with one another. The aims and purpose of the club were set forth and plans for the entire year were made and discussed. The year's activities included hikes, trips to various buildings in Providence, needlecraft, social affairs, and many other things which are inter- esting and enjoyable to girls. Two of the most enjoyable days of the school year were those days on which a merry group of Hi-Tri girls hiked to the Meshanticut Park Reservation for a day of fun and gayety. One could not ask for a more ideal spot for a day in the open. The Lake was indeed lovely and the perfect scenery of autumn made it an enchanted playground. Over a roaring Hre we toasted marshmallows, and sad but true, we sacrificed many marshmallows before our supply was exhausted. And then we roasted potatoes and that famous Ameri- can delight the frankfurter or just plain 'thot dogf, Our uhot dogs , in most cases, were a little overdone or a bit charred- but my, how good they tasted to those hungry girls. Miss Treacy decided that she and I might have a cup of teagand the other girls decided on coffee. A brave girl visited a nearby home and borrowed an aluminum pan. I shall not tell you what our fire did to that pang however, I must tell you that Loretta Farrell and Winifred Cary worked over it for an hour trying and hoping to make it look like new again. Our coffee would not have been a credit to Chase and Sanborn,s famous dated coffee but to us it was delicious. As the sun began to sink in the West, we packed up our remains and singing the praises of Central a tired but 138 happy group said farewell to our play- ground and turned homeward. Everything is not play in our club, however. Each club chooses a project which it follows through to completion. This year our club chose needlework for its project. Some of the girls made skirts and dresses under the able supervision of a dressmaker. Others knitted tams and sweaters. There were a few girls who could not bring needlecraft into their paths-they werenit just made to sew or knit-so they say. They wanted to go places and see things. And we did go. The places we visited were interesting and we hope to go to many more places in the future. At one of our meetings, Miss Ann Zimmermann, Girl Reserve Execu- tive, gave a most delightful lecture on charm and personality. And now for the big treat of the year. We had a Christmas dance at the Y. M. C. A. It was the first time that the Hi-Tri and the Hi-Y ever joined forces in spon- soring a dance. It was a good dance and didn7t we enjoy dancing under the soft lights and amid Christmas gayety to the scintillating rhythm of Hy Carden and his orchestra. We thought that the way to be happy was to make others happy. We couldn't let Christmas slip by with- out doing something nice for someone less fortunate than we, and so we enter- tained twenty poor little tots at our Christmas party. And such a Santa Claus that came down the broad chimney of the Y. Didn't he make those kiddies laugh and dance and clap their hands in glee? And didn't their little eyes bulge out with joy when he opened his huge pack of toys, clothing and goodies? We invited the best and merriest Santa that has ever hailed from the cold regions of the THE BLACK AND GOL D - JANUARY, l935 North, and our little tots agreed that he was the one and only real live Santa Claus. And so our Christmas was made happy before the day actually arrived. The officers of our club are: President, Elena Lancelottig Vice-President, Barbara Slaimang Secretary, Sue Tullieg Treas- urer, Theresa St. Ongeg Chairman of So- cial Committee, Alice Carpenterg Chair- man of Finance Committee, Mollie Roth- man, Chairman of Publicity Committee, Olga Czorny. Miss Mary F. Treacy is club counselor. A new year is now before us and We are hoping as We step within its bounds, to make it a year of work, fun. and good deeds. SUE TULLIE, Secretary.

It met with great favor among the students who were interested in public affairs and rapidly assumed an important position among other Central activities. Shortly after its introduction, officers were elected. Mertis Mercier was made president, Eliza- beth Evans, vice-president, Lucy DilVlaio, Secretary-Treasurer, and Elizabeth Dunne served as chairman of the Program Com- mittee. The outstanding speaker on the club's. program so far this year, was our Assist- ant Superintendent, Mr. Charles F. Towne. At this meeting Mr. Towne spoke on HRecent Developments in Public Edu- cationf' Due to his long experience in the field of education and to his great inter- est in the welfare of both students and teachers, he was able to present the sub- ject in an interesting and instructive fashion. The first excursion of the club was a trip through the Providence Journal Building. This proved to be a very edu- cative experience as very few of the mem- bers had ever seen the operations of a newspaper plant. The guide was very courteous to the members, answering all questions and explaining the operations of the different machines. At the end of the inspection tour, each member was pre- sented with sample of matrix paper and newspaper slug. The Providence journal Santa Claus re- ceived the help of the club through the aid of automobiles furnished by club members. They were used to assist in the distribution of Christmas packages made up by Santa. A visit to a meeting of the Providence City Council furnished a successful climax to the activities of the first semes- ter. At this session, which was held on December 27, the members witnessed cer- tain important discussions by the council- men. This club will endeavor to increase its influence throughout the coming year with a varied and interesting program which has already been planned.

The club was organized, a con- stitution was adopted, and the following officers were elected: Theo. Tetreault, president, Mildred Maguire, vice-president, Phyllis Sweet, secretaryg and Ira Rodinsky, treasurer. The club has held several meetings at which there have been prominent speak- ers. Members have worked out a number of interesting programs in chemistry, bi- ology, and physics. The club offers its members an oppor- tunity for scientific investigation and ex- perimentation not afforded in the class- room. The first quarter of this year was devoted to the study of astronomy. Charles H. Smiley, Professor of Astron- omy at Brown University, presented an illustrated talk and graciously arranged to have the club visit the Ladd Observatory. The club has invited Professor Rakestraw of the Brown University Chemistry De- partment to perform some of his fasci- nating experiments. Among the places the club plans to visit in the near future are the Rumford Chemical Works and the Coca-Cola Bottling Company. The club is fortunate in having three members of the faculty as its advisors: Mr. Simkevich fchemistryj, Mr. Di Orio fphysicsl, Miss Kelman fbiologyj.

The Hill and Dalers HE Hill and Dalers of Central were hampered at the beginning of the season by the lack of veterans, and as a result Central was not able to gain much prominence in this field of sport. Coach Hauglfs development of '4Ray', Leaver and David Johnson, both Juniors, de- serves comment, however. These two youngsters could always be found with the leaders. Next year, it is expected that these boys will form the nucleus for a first rate Cross Country team. 149 E BLACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 GIRLS, SENIOR GLEE CLUB THE BLACK ixo GOLD e JANUARY. 1935 37'-A Cul SPORT PAGE FLUB Front row, left to right: Vincent Murray, Joseph Diamond, Paul Gleeson, George Lurkowich, Harry Anjoorian, Harry llclieuna.

The opening game, which was the only game Central lost, was with Salem, the powerful Bay State eleven who went to California last year to represent the East in the Hose Bowl classic. THE ScoREs Central 0 Vs. Salem 6 'A 21 M Pawtucket 0 H 21 H Woonsocket O 28 H Rogers O 18 'L La Salle O 26 H East Providence 0 13 H Cranston 6 22 H Hope 7 Central 149 Opponents 19 152 Central Vs. Salem O 6 Central held the powerful Salem team to no score till the last minute to play when Salem fought its way over the last white stripe for the only score of the game. Captain Rubin played well for Salem, while Memphos, acting captain in place of Larkowich, played well for Cen- tral. Central Vs. Pawtucket 21 0 Central started against Pawtucket with the will to win and after the first four plays had scored their first touchdown. Even though penalties inflicted on Central amounted to 145 yards, Pawtucket was unable to score. Brown and Captain Larkowich starred for Central. THE BLACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 Central Vs. Woonsocket 21 0 Central traveled to Woonsocket and found a scrappy bunch of hard playing lads, and it was through the greatest of difficulties that they made their tallies. This game brought to light the strength of the Central defense. It seemed to the casual spectator that each time a Woon- socket back carried the ball he was thrown for a loss by the stalwart Centralites. Bill Osmanski and Larkowich starred for Central. H- -2+ if Central Vs. Rogers 28 0 This was the first home game for the golden wave and they had things pretty much their own way all through the game. As a result of the sterling playing of Sid Lovitt at quarter, the team piled up 28 points to Rogers 0. Bill Kutneski and De- Rita also starred for Central. if -K- if Central Vs. LaSalle 18 0 Ability, good coaching, and the deter- mination to win was all the big Central lads used to swamp the light and fast LaSalle team. In the first quarter LaSalle held Central in check which kept most of the playing in the middle of the field. The second period Central's superior weight began to show its effects and it wasn't long till Osmanski scored Centralis first touchdown. Central had started an- other drive when the half ended. In the second half uRed', Durand of LaSalle ran 72 yards on a well executed lateral on the kick off, and would have scored had not Osmanski brought him down on the 15 yard line, where they lost the ball to Central on downs. Shortly after, a DeRita- Larkowich pass resulted in another touch- down for Central. In the last period after a 40 yard march Osmanski cracked the center of the line for the last score of the game. The outstanding players for LaSalle were Vinne'7 Nugent and Captain Bob Johnson, while Central presented a strong united front. A . i 62 N M Central Vs. East Providence 26 0 Central showed its power once again by trouncing the hard-fighting Townie team. This game offered a chance for Central to show off its reserve material in Bill Smith and Stanley Raymor, who played in Wendall Brown's position at right half-back. Brown sat on the bench the entire game as he was not needed. Captain Larkowich and Bill Osmanski played well for Central, while Captain Conners was the star and backbone of the East Provi- dence team. ii- 96 99 Central Vs. Cranston 13 6 Cranston travelled to the Hope field with the intentions of upsetting the league leaders, but Central was not to be beaten, so they had to be satisfied with being the first Rhode Island team to cross Central's goal line. After the opening kick-off Cen- tral got the ball on Cranston's 25 yard line as a result of a fumble on the part of the Cranston back. Two plays later Osmanski plunged' over for a touchdown, and Brown kicked the point after. In the second period Cranston managed to get their only touchdown after a hard 40 yard drive. lt was late in the fourth period when Central scored their last touchdown. Osmanski and Larkowich played well for Central, while Taylor and Crompton starred for the losers. 153 THE BLACK AND GOLD - JANUARY, 1935 Central Vs. Hope 22 7 The Hope High and our Golden Wave had the distinction of playing on the Brown Stadium for a Charity Gameg the proceeds going to the Community Fund. A large crowd was expected, but spirits were dampened by a continuous down- pour of rain. This did not stop the power- ful Golden Wave from completely sub- merging the Hope eleven. Central held the upper-hand all through the game, scoring almost at will. It was late in the fourth period when Quigley intercepted a Hat pass thrown by Aufoorian and scored Hope's only touch- down. Kapstein scored the point. Central played as a unit, with Osmanski showing himself as the greatest Rhode Island High School full back in many years. Centralis student body had a team that they could well be proud of, and they certainly were as they showed with their tremendous displays of encouragement, whether the team was in a 'ftough spot or making a march towards the goal posts. This splendid co-operation and support was a big factor in the victories of the Golden Wave. Central huskies who were honored by All-State selections were Captain George Larkowich, Edward Wagner, Maryen Kutniewski, c'Ham Tyzbir, '4Bill7' Os- manski on the first team, DeRita and Monaco on the second team. All other members of the eleven made either the third team or honorable mention. Girls' Field Hockey Central 4 Classical 0 Central 2 Hope 0 Central 5 Central Jr. 2 OMEONE once said, uWhat this coun- try needs is a good five cent cigarf' I donit know if they ever received it but I do know-that what the girls' field hockey team needs is some more good rooters. The girls played three fast games and are now the champions for the second con- secutive year, due to the fine coaching of Miss Ziesenitz. The games have been very exciting with everything from sprained ankles to broken noses. Letis have more rooters next year, and now three cheers for the team. The seniors won their first game by de- feating Classical 4 to O. The teams battled to a tie in the first half, but Central came through with uloi' Timperley scoring two goals and Helen Carroll and Adele Chros- towski each scoring once. 154 The second game was played against Hope in the first snow fall of the year. They defeated Hope with a score of 2 to 0. It was a hard game with nothing ex- citing happening in the first half. The second half came with Naomi Jennings and flow Timperley scoring the two goals. Credit must be given to Hope, for they did put up a hard fight. The seniors, last and hardest game was against the Central Juniors. The Juniors have a strong team and without doubt will be the champions of next year. It looked like a victory in the first half for the juniors when the score was 2 to 1 in their favor. The hard fighting and de- termined seniors went over the goal line making the score for the seniors 5 and the juniors 2. Three goals were made by flow Timperley, and Helen Carroll scored two. Nina Collins and Louise Carlise each scored once for the juniors.

Mathew J. Christowski in Polish Olympics 4 ATT'S1' trip to Poland was spon- sored by the Polish Government. Every five years the Polish Olympics are held. During a period of five years Polish organizing committees throughout the world keep in contact with outstanding performances of athletes of Polish extrac- tion. When these boys are found they are entitled to compete in the Polish Olympics. lt was under these circum- stances that our star athlete of Central was chosen. He left for Europe in July and returned late in August. The trip lasted approximately two months. He lived in Wlarsaw, Poland, where the swimming meet was held. Living condi- tions were good and he had sufficient training which enabled him on August 3, 1934, to prove his supremacy in the aquatic world over the best natators of Europe. 'LMatt', competed in the 100 meter back stroke, 11-00 meter free style, 300 156 meter relay Cindividuallyj and also gave an exhibition in diving. He won first place in all the events and tied the Polish record in the 100 meter free style. This is the first time in international swimming history that such a feat was performed. uMatt,s,' most outstanding performance was the 300 meter medley relay. In this particular event he swam, individually, against five other countries, namely Aus- tria, Germany, France, Czechslovakia and Belgium. He won this event by con- siderable length. '4Matt', is proud of his trophies and is more proud that he represented Central High School. MMat-tv said, alt is very in- teresting to know that Central High School, as young as it is, is now recog- nized internationally as well as nation- ally.
