. .1 THE BLACKMQQLQ PUBLISHED BY AND FOR THE STUDENTS OE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL - PROVIDENCE R I 7 ,156 QQ, O all i JUNE - ' - 1936 Foreword A HIS issue of BLACK AND GOLD connotes the rounding out of the fourth year of Central High School. Made up of the teachers and students of Commercial High School and of Technical High School when these two schools were abolished in l932, Central has successfully weathered the storms and buffetings of the ensuing four years. In each of these years over one thousand students have gone forth as graduates. Our school has now a spirit all its own, rugged, yet cultural, and, I trust, enduring. Our teachers through their sustained, unselfish hard Work, and their superb cooperation have proved the main factors in this success that Central has thus far achieved. We of Central know all this. The public does not. The theme, therefore, of this June BLACK AND GOLD is Central in Action. Un- der the eilicient leadership and supervision of Mr. Elmer R. Smith, head of the English Department of our afternoon session, and faculty direc- tor of the BLACK AND GOLD staff, the work of our various depart- ments, and our many and varied student activities have been listed and, when possible, photographed. These manifold activities, be it noted, play an important part in developing our students mentally, physically' ethically. They permanently aid in making personal adjustments in this our changed and changing world. Information has been added that will give the discerning reader a fairly accurate idea of the size of the school, of our numbers, and of the intricate, inescapable problems thereby created. The total result is a true, composite picture of just what Central is and does. Our heartfelt wishes for future happiness and success go forth to the members of the June graduating class,-some six hundred strong. This is particularly their year book. May they ever find in it a source of deep, personal satisfaction, and a well of pleasant, inspiring mem- ories. T. FRANKLIN WALSH CQ TENTS TITLE PACE - POREWORD THEME - - THE BLACK AND GOLD BOARD I.

THEME ELIEVING that the function of a year-book is to provide material that will help to recall the happiest of associations and the pleasantest of memories in years to come, the staff of the BLACK AND GOLD has chosen to present in this issue a composite picture of Central High School in action. Students and their friends, and the faculty itself, have all too little opportunity for close acquaintance with certain phases of school life, and this is our attempt to bring about a more thorough and pleasant familiarity with all the complex factors in our work here. Many departures from tradition will be found in the pages that follow. New arrangement of material, different style of make-up, and an effort in the direction of new types of material are all included. One of these changes is the division of the book into sections, each devoted to some part of school activity. In Book I is presented the school as a whole, in un- usual phases and facts, Somewhere here you are sure to learn something about your school which you had not suspected, something which will surprise you. Book H, devoted to graduates and their activities, is the farewell appearance of the class. A short history of their work here, their pictures and personals, a class will, a class prophecy all help to present a vivid picture of the class of June, 1936. Book III contains pictures of teams, records of games, and interesting highlights and sidelights of the athletics of Central. You will find nowhere else so complete an account of Central sports. Book IV contains features-stories, humor, cartoons. essays-a little bit of everything, in fact. Here is the greatest departure from custom. A wider variety of ma- terial, more space, new ideas help to make this as inter- esting a section as possible. Book V, devoted to organizations, presents informa- tion about a phase of school life upon which too much emphasis is hardly possible. The wide range of interests covered by the clubs of Central is represented by ac- counts of activities, records of interesting meetings, and pictures. The staff is deeply conscious of its great debt to the many, many people who have assisted in preparing this issue of the BLACK AND GOLD for the printer. To list them all would be nearly impossible: we must be content with thanking publicly those whose work has been most important. To Dr. Walsh for his ready aid and encouragement the BLACK AND GOLD Board is deeply indebted. Mr. Breard, Mr. Crohan, Mr. Hatch, Miss Burnside, Miss Ruth Greene and Mr. Lyons also rendered services for which the Board is grateful. Appreciation is also expressed to the 12A Class coun- selors-Mr. Peasley, Mr. McMillan, Mr. Thayer and Miss Westcott-and to the teachers of l2A English class- es who labored diligently with graduates in the prepara- tion of personals for their generous assistance. Miss Mary Turner and her assistants in the main ofiice: Miss Myra Kimball, Mr. Clayton Smith and Mr, De Bellis all performed services that made publication of this book possible. To them the BLACK AND GOLD Board extends its thanks. The Board also wishes to thank heads of departments in Room ll0 for their courteous toleration of the noise made by staff members in connection with their BLACK AND GOLD duties. Those l2A students who collected personals must be thanked for their faithfulness, and particular mention must be made of the efhcient secretarial services rendered by Gladys Warren, Emily La Rocca and Sophie Pappas. The Board also Wishes to record its appreciation of the efforts rendered by Mr. John O'Hara of the Oxford Press, Mr. Howard Stapleton of Advertisers' Engraving Com- pany and Mr. A, Brouth and Mr. LeFevre of Bellin's Studio, John Fulton, '36, drew the design for the medallion used on the title and personal pages. The design was chosen from several submitted by the art classes for its nice balf ance and delicate treatment. An examination of the make-up of the BLACK AND GOLD staff will reveal two positions not previously men- tioned. These are the photography and secretarial groups. In attempting to provide a book attractive to a large num- ber of people, the staff felt that photographs would D2 a great help. In answer to the request of the board for assistance from students three photographers reported generously. Ernest Strauss, Jack Dawson, and Wardwell Bardsley are responsible for the majority of the informal photographs found throughout this book. Much of their work has been done in their out-of- school hours, and their time has been given freely and patiently. Without their excellent photography the staff feels that the BLACK AND GOLD would lose much of its attractiveness. The photographers worked under the su- pervision of Mr. Walter Brownsword, sponsor of the Camera Club. The retiring seniors on the board in preparing this issue of the BLACK AND GOLD feel that they have helped in a small way to present the school with a year- book of good quality and attractive appearance. The staff presents to the school as a whole the June 1936 issue of the BLACK AND GOLD, glad of the opportunity to have helped in its preparation and hoping you will enjoy reading it, as much as they have enjoyed preparing it.

We sincerely believe it is one of the best schools in the United States. Central High is one of the largest in New England and is widely known for its varied activities in many fields. Our school holds an important position as a progressive school, an institution where educational and extra-curricu- lar activities are taught in the most modern manner with up-to-date methods and equipment. Central High School has the largest enrollment in the New England section. More than one-half of the city's educable youth of high school age attend Central High School. This term there are over 4500 boys and girls registered. This figure very nearly doubles that of any other city school. Such a population can be accommo- dated only by two sessions-the four higher grades in the morning and the two lower grades in the afternoon, The job of uniting the two sessions into one complete unit has not been an easy one but it has been accom- plished under the able direction of Dr. T. Franklin Walsh. To attend school from early morning till noon or from noon till night is no longer considered unusual. Indeed, one session would now seem queer. School life goes on, nevertheless, in much the same way as it always did, les- sons are learned, plays are produced, games are won, year- books and newspapers are issued just as in any other school. At noon the entire population of 4500 is pres- ent, for there are but ten minutes between the closing of the morning session and the opening of the afternoon. Yet no time is lost, classes begin on time and no one is disturbed at the hurry and crowds, since in a few min- utes the corridors will be deserted. With such a large enrollment in buildings designed to accommodate one-half that number there are, of course, many variations in common school practice. There are numerous fourteen-year-old girls and boys in the school. At the present time, over forty-five na- tionalities are represented in the school. By actual count it has been shown that every country in Europe is repre- sented, and in addition: Australia, Arabia, China, the continent of Asia. the Azore Islands, Turkey, South Am- erica, Central America, The West Indies, Africa, The Bar- bados, and The Cape Verde Islands. Among our popu- lation are students who have come directly from Central America, the Panama Canal Zone, Spain. Greece, and China. Over one-third of the attendance speak two languages and many are studying a third at school. Italian, Jewish. and German predominate as actively spoken languages. There is also a little Spanish and French. In keeping with its large enrollment, the purposes and goals of the student body are many and varied. Many attend high school as part of their preparatory education for college. Many know that high school will be the farthest they can go in the educational field, to these pupils studies are foremost. They realize that in high school they are working for their own future, and their accomplishments in school will determine their success in securing positions after graduation. Earnest study of the chosen course will produce efficiency in that line Whether it be academic, commercial or homemaking. Students see the practical side of an immense business organization which accomplishes its purpose-training young people for the future. Practical training is the objective of all instruction, and whenever possible Central pupils are given the opportunity of working in the school under the guid- ance of instructors. There are few students who have reached high school who have no definite purpose or objective in mind. Those who have none seldom continue their study long enough to graduate. The problem of meeting the needs of this huge number of young men and women in regard to quantity and vari- ety of subjects offered has been solved to the satisfaction of everyone. Central High School is not a commercial school, it is not a classical school, and it is not a technical school-it is all three. Central is a school where one may go to prepare for a college, to train for a business future or to study the arts, homemaking, or machinery and engineering. Central High School has kept its place in the forefront of educational practice with regard to the range of sub- jects offered to students. A study of the courses indi- cates that in number and thoroughness there is nearly as complete an educational offering as would be found in a small university. Students will find that a demand for a subject, if ex- pressed by a sufficiently large number of students, will result in the inclusion of such a course in the curriculum. This has already occurred in certain phases of the musical activities of our school. Another illustration of the prac- tice is found in the inclusion of German, something which grew out of student interest. A more helpful attitude toward the student could hardly be found. An interesting phase of this subject is the completeness with which a student can satisfy his interest in any one field. In mathematics, he may begin with the most ele- mentary of work and continue through difficult courses in trigonometry and solid geometry, and touch briefly on the subject of surveying. In shop work of any kind, he will find the teacher willing to help the student develop special work to suit his ability, no matter how extensive it may be. Each shop has some student whose work is an illus- tration of such willingness. Furniture, fabrics, jewelry. art work, and other things are a tribute to the fine spirit of cooperation between teacher and student. CContinued on Page 123 .8.

Farr THE BLACK AND GOLD L-, - - JUNE - 1936 - s Central High School CContinued from Page 85 The result of this fine spirit is shown by the ac- complishments of Central students after graduation. No- tices from colleges frequently tell of the awarding of some scholarship or prize to a former student. Occasionally a student returns to tell of some promotion or new em- ployment, and again we lind proof of the line work of Central High School. Today, in Central High School, extra-curricular ac- tivities are rapidly assuming an importance second only to the regular curriculum of the school, and officials, teachers, and even our parents are awaking to the realiza- tion that these activities are as vital in their own way as the training we receive in Latin, chemistry, or English. Gradually, such activities are being acknowledged as a legitimate part of the school. Many of our organizations are dictated by actual need. The Camera Club of Central serves as an excellent exam- ple. The club was planned and organized in order to see what material, trained or untrained, the school had to olfer, and what could be done with those people who were interested in photography. On becoming acquainted with the students who enrolled in the club, several very able young men were discovered, These students are, as a direct result of the formation of the Camera Club, en- tirely responsible for the candid camera shots and many of the photographs used in this yearbook, The value of the extra-curricular activity is unques- tioned. It provides many opportunities in which the stu- dents assume responsibility, a highly desirable quality in the make-up of any individual. It teaches cooperation, another helpful characteristic. In our classes, we are per- haps taught or told what cooperation is. but it is only when We are working together, in various ways, perhaps giving a dance, publishing a yearbook, or producing a play that we are given an opportunity to practice what we have been taught in class. In addition, we are having developed in us, aside from responsibility and cooperation, the qualities-initiative and leadership. In the World of today, everything and everyone is in a tremendous rush. To be able to compete or even to keep pace with present-day activities, an in- dividual must be mentally and physically alert, a leader, and must possess initiative. Most students realize there is a very worthwhile place for men and women who combine these characteristics. And our extra-curricular activities are just where we are receiving this training and being given the chance to develop these fine qualities. Among our many extra-curricular activities we num- ber, aside from all athletic units, language clubs, dia- matic groups, musical organizations, clubs encouraging intelligent discussion of current events, both vocational and international, literary organizations, and many types of craft clubs. In each and every type of extra-curricular activity in which a student is engaged, he is putting into practice the qualities of initiative, leadership, responsibil- ity, and cooperation. Aside from developing these fine qualities in us, our extra-curricular activities sometimes help us to discover within ourselves, talents we had here- tofore regarded merely as a pleasant hobby. Important as this is in literary and musical groups, it is especially sig- nificant in the various craft groups where self-expression and creative work are encouraged to a very great extent. Extra-curricular activities prepare the boy or girl for the time when he will finish school, and will meet life, alone and unaided. Whether his chosen field of endeavor is scientific, commercial, or artistic, the training he has received through his extra-curricular work will help him extremely. These activities also serve another purpose: they bring the school and the student much closer together. Student interest is stimulated if he has a part, no matter how small, in the managing and well-being of his school. There is developed between the teacher and pupil a better understanding. thus making for better work in the class- room. Our extra-curricular activities are more than complete- ly justilied when we consider the many, many values they offer, the varied purposes they serve, and the countless numbers of students they help to lind themselves and their vocations. There is nothing that can do more to unite a student body than sports: therefore in almost every high school today sports are the most prominent of extra-curricular activities. Sports, unlike other activities, benelit the spectator as well as the participant. To the athlete they offer develop- ment of character and physique to the highest degree. To the school they offer unification. The range of sports in our high school today is wide and varied. Beginning with the great outdoor sport- football, to the artful indoor fencing, almost every sport is included. The boys have six major teams and six minor teams. The girls can boast of four major teams and one minor. These sports are so diversiiied that hardly any student is unable to place himself on some one team. It is almost impossible to estimate the value of sports to the athlete.

Q93- Prophecy---Class of June 1936 20th REUNION HELD IN 1956 AT THE HOTEL IMPERIAL By TI-IERESA SURABIAN, '36 ' FICTION f T was eight o'clock Wednesday morning, June 22, 1956. I had been sleeping uncomfortably, and sud- denly awakened with an expectant feeling I couldn't un- derstand. Quickly, however. I remembered. The great day! The day of the reunion of my high school class. I bounced out of bed, dressed, ate, collected my sleepy husband, named-Horace Egbert Rumplesnitz, and dashed over to the Hotel Imperial where the reunion was to take place. We'd planned a whole day's reunion, starting off with a general get-together during the morn- ing, lunch, and the races in the afternoon, and a banquet and floor show at the hotel in the evening. I Arriving at the hotel. I hurriedly greeted the remainder of the committee composed of Lady Percy, formerly Elsie Barks, who had arrived from England: Ruth Campbell. heiress to the soup millions, and Joseph Mason, our class president, who was a metallurgical engineer. We pre- pared to greet our classmates as they arrived at the hotel, and were vastly excited as we also prepared ourselves for the great changes we knew were inevitable. While we were waiting for boats, planes, and trains to bring the Wanderers back to the old home town, which, by the way, had changed quite a bit, we rushed around the hotel, see- ing that everything was ready. I stopped in the kitchen to see Roscoe Craig, the chef, who was outdoing himself in preparing for the banquet. His woes were many. He complained that R, Leach. the milkman, had brought sour milk, and that John Doyle, the ice cream man. had been unable to fill the order for the strawberry ice cream. After comforting the chef, I saw the detective of the hotel and cautioned him to be on guard as many of our classmates had now become millionnaires overflowing with diamonds and thousand-dollar bills they might not care to lose. Everything was in readiness at the modern, beau- tifully erected Hotel Imperial to receive the groups of classmates. The people themselves had arranged to come in groups made up of allied professions, meeting elsewhere who had become in the city first. That is, all those nurses and doctors were to arrive at the same time so that all could see just what each member of the class of '36 had done. Many of the classmates who had remained in Providence had a great deal to do with the building and maintenance of this hotel. The architects were Ray Ferri and Jack Wexler, while the interior was decorated by Betty Hall and Myrtle Cogswell. Frank Di Battista and Winifred McManus were responsible for many ex- cellent murals and paintings hung throughout the build- ing, while Mildred Jaegle, the scrub Woman, kept the floors in grand condition. In the building we also noted a shoe shop, owned by Louis Ferra, a tea shoppe owned by Jeannette Mann, and a beauty parlor, owned and op- erated by Melanie Wirth. As a number of us sat around nervously, we were aroused by a loud commotion at the door, and lo and behold!-It was the press and authors! We discovered that Clinton Foster, Josephine Vendentullo, Mary Stop- pello, Everett Eerri, Mary McGeough, Marion Casey, and John Arrigan had all became reporters While John Car- roll had become managing editor of a large newspaper, Among the authors we discovered our old friends: Irma Ridderbelke, who was writing her 10th book of essays: Betty Merrick, Mary McCormick, Gertrude Lynch, and Everett Ervamian, the poet. We discovered among the reporters Kay Weidman, who had become a fashion writer: Ernest Strauss, the photographer, was also pres- ent to take a picture of the reunion. While we were all excitedly talking, Betty commented on the beautiful cabinets. I told her Eldred Adams did them. Also while we were talking, Frances came in and joined the gathering. As we were discussing the grand strides being taken in the scientific world, the scientific group came in. The group comprised Jennie Ricci, bac- teriologist: Helena Jose, psychologist: Harold Delaney, scientist: Alfred Nadeau and Frank Kelley, famous chem- ists, and Marie Mariner, archeologist. While We were sitting around, thinking about such familiar Central sub- jects as classdays and budgets, we were interrupted by a wire, sent by Francis Nichols, radio operator, informing us that the group of travellers would arrive any moment, Some of them came on the huge transport liner designed by John Kazinkevich and having aboard it as air host- esses, Eleanor Mulligan, Helen McMahon, Lois Smith. and Virginia Prior. The pilots and officers of the U. S. Star we discovered were Helen Clayton, John Kalafarski, Omer Brisson, and Carl Hintze. Barbara Graham, Augustino Comella, Patricia Walker, Mary Titterington, Nick Carusone, Lillian Finucane, Henry Zaharcyzk, An- gelina Celani, and Joseph Gregilvitz had also become avi- ators. We also discovered that Walter Brocklehurst was the captain of one of the gigantic boats that some of the travellers came over on from Europe, and Africa, and such places, James Murphy was also a captain in the Merchant Marine, and Harold Shaw a sailor on Walter's boat, while Mildred Sheehan had become, no less. the U. S. Navy Mascot. As I glanced around, a great contentment settled within CContinued on Page 135D Panel on opposite page by Frank J, Iafrate, '36 194: 2 W5 T' MPN 4 , RNA L If J- EC!

In 1930, East Providence entered the competition, Fencing has been under the supervision of Dr. Eric Stone, a prominent Thayer Street physician. Dr. Stone guides the destinies of the fencing teams of all the high schools in the city. In 1933, Technical and Commercial, were combined to form Central High School. In that year, James Holt, the Central captain, won the lnterscholastic individual cham- pionship and repeated in 1934. Only two men have won the title twice: the other was David Dick of Technical, who won in 1930 and 1931. Richard Farrell, captain of the 1935 team, took third place in the individual championships. Last year, Central defeated Hope in their dual match, but lost by a slim margin in the team championships. However, Central de- feated Westerly and Boston Y. M. C. A. Junior Varsity. In the 1935 championships, Central placed two men in the finals: Farrell and Stapleton, while the other schools placed only one each in the finals. Farrell placed only third and Stapleton failed to place. In 1934 Farrell also reached the finals, but did not play. This year, with an almost new team and only one ex- perienced man on the squad, Central failed to win any or its matches. During the team championships, Central was without Tom Collins, its outstanding fencer. Despite his absence, the team showed surprising strength in push- ing the veteran East Providence team to a 4-4 score be- fore being downed 5-4, This was made possible by the good work of Butler and Cifelli. Next year, with an experienced squad to start the sea- son, and Cifelli progressing as rapidly as he did this sea- son, the team will be about the best of the local fencing circle, according to Dr. Stone. RAYMOND FERRI Swimming SWIMMING activities were somewhat curtailed this term at Central because of a lack of funds with which to carry on this sport. The Central Swimming Team, however, managed to carry off New England hon- ors by winning again the New England Championship and the Lt. George Meehan Trophy in a hotly contested meet at Gardner, Mass., on Saturday, March 14. The Central swimmers placed as follows in that meet: Edmund Wilde, 3rd place, 50 yard free style: 3rd place, 100 yard free style. William Gallishaw, 3rd place, 100 yard breast stroke: Witold Babula, lst place, 100 yard free style and 200 yard free style. Peter Kourmpates, 2nd place, diving. Leonard Gath, lst place, diving. The re- lay team composed of Wilde, Kourmpates, Walter Bik and Babula won 3rd place. All members of the team with the exception of Wilde will be available next year, when it is hoped sufficient funds will permit development of the sport. The members of the swimming team were: Witold Babula, Walter Bik, William Gallishaw, Leon- ard Gath, Peter Kroumpates, Alphonse C. Kuzmicki. Paul Rossi, XVilliam Stafford. Edmund Wilde. Wrestling COACH Sandy Beachen sent out his call for wrestlers earlier than usual this year and it was well received. Eighty or more boys signed up early in November. After Coach Beachen had the boys master the different holds, the eliminations were held. Those who came out on the first team were: Rubino, in the 110 lb. class, Al Belida 118 lb. class, Joe Quaranto in the 126 lb. class. Americo Damiano, in the 135 lb. class, Louis Ferra 145 lb. class, Johnny Miller 165 lb. class, and Frank Del Monico, in the 175 lb. class. The first meet was with Cranston and the Green Thunderbolt held the Central boys to a 20 to 20 tie. After the Cranston meet the final eliminations for the varsity team were held. The winners in the final elimina- tions were: Otis Martini in the 110 lb. class, Joe Quar- anto in the 118 lb. class, Gerald Baker in the 126 lb. class, Carleton Baker in the 135 lb. class, Americo Dam- iano in the 145 lb. class, John Miller in the 155 lb. class, and Frank Del Monico in the 175 lb. class. The second meet was with Hope for the City Cham- pionship. Coach Beachen changed the team around so he could get the best results against the undefeated team of the season. The Hope team came up to the City Gym confident that it would take the city title. The irst bout was about to begin and Central's 110 lb. man, Rubino. who was scheduled to begin, had not showed up. Coach Beachen called his home and found that he was ill. This left Central in a bad spot. Coach Beachen then had to take Martini of the second team. .96.

Martini took the mat as the underdog, but after the bell sounded Martini surprised the crowd by taking the upper hand and pinning his opponent in ive minutes. Martini's surprising victory encouraged the Central team, comprised of new-comers, with the outcome that Central scored 19 points to Hope's 13. This victory stopped Hope's winning streak of five straight victories and won for Central the City Championship for the eighth successive time. The winners of this meet wrestled against the Brown Freshmen, and the Bear Cubs lost by a score of 24 to 3. The wrestlers for Central were: Jerry Baker. Joe Quaranto, John Miller and Frank Del Mon- ico. Carl Baker, who wrestled to a draw with Melnick of Hope, lost the toss to wrestle in the Brown meet against the Brown Frosh, but Baker came back in the -97 State meet to score another unlooked-for victory for Cen- tral by defeating Melnick of Hope, to whom he had lost the toss to wrestle in the Brown meet. The last dual meet was with East Providence, and Central again came out the winner-this time by a score of l8 to IO, This meet was featured by the brilliant wrestling of' the Baker brothers and Joe Quaranto. Joe Quaranto and Capt. Jerry Baker won their bouts from the Townies, but lost to the same men in the State meet in hard and close overtime bouts. The nnal meet was for the State championship at the Brown Gym. Three of the Central wrestlers reached the nnals, These were: Capt. Jerry Baker. Capt-elect, Carle- ton Baker: and Frankie Del Monico, Only one of these three came through to win a State Championship. He was Capt.-elect Carl Baker. He defeated Max Melnick of Hope, fContinued on Page 1805 THE BLACK - - JUNE Rifle A surprisingly large number of boys showed an active interest in the Riiie Club when Mr. Dudley, its sponsor. called the first meeting. Meetings of the club have been held regularly since, and the members have shown in- creased familiarity with the rifles and have increased the accuracy in their shooting. Indoor' B-A-N-G the shot of the starter's gun rings out in the tensed atmosphere of the Rhode Island Auditorium, and the fleeting feet of the racing contestants are moving swiftly toward the finish line. Each one, hoping to reach there first, is taxing himself to the utmost in the midst of the cheering and whistling of the crowds. It looks as if Melvin Kelman has the right of way for he is forging ahead of the others. But as we take another look, there is another one right up with Melvin. There they are, each struggling desperately to gain the advantage. Unfortun- ately at the finish, Melvin Kelman, in spite of his efforts, comes in second, This, by no means, is a finish for Melvin's laurels, because he reaches a climax by capturing the State title for the broad jump. What an athlete! May we introduce the other boys who helped Central Here 600 High to be successful this year in the Auditorium? is the line-up: Charles Hanley participated in the yard dash. Bernard Cross in the 1000 yard dash, Edward MacNeil also ran in the 1000 yard dash. Armando Ric- ciardi, a junior who will be a great menace to other boys in the opposing high schools when he reaches his final year at Central High, was a broad jump man and he was practicing diligently for the outdoor track team after indoor track meet was completed. Donald Lohergah in the forty-live yard dash. The latter also showed mettle as a high jumper. And now if you will kindly back and allow Alfred Marro to toss the shot right into your lap, he surely will appreciate your politeness.

AUSTIN WESTERBERG BASKETBALL IN 1891, John Naismith, in response to a demand for a game that could be played in- doors to take the place of baseball and football, invented the popular indoor sport of basketball. Although it has changed and developed from its original simplicity, it is fundamentally the same today as when it was created. Basketball gives an excellent chance for team work, and requires a well-balanced combination of speed, muscular control, quick thinking, and cooperation. This game has spread rapidly over the United States, and Europe, and is today one of the best-liked and most important of indoor sports. When the game was first played it was neces- sary to climb up a ladder to remove the ball from the basket. .98. b i Koran, R Place, Manager R, llareliuw. Rll7l.li fil.Ul'n first Rott G tihagnon.

But they certainly deserve credit for the fine sportsmanship, game playing, and the stick-to- it-iveness that makes champions, which they displayed on all occasions. The scores of the various games were as follows: Classical 2, Central l: Classical l. Central 2: Mt. St. Charles 5, Central O: Mt. St. Charles 2, Central 0: Hope 2, Central 0: Hope l, Central 0: Cranston 5. Central l: Cranston O. Central 0: l.a Salle Z, Central 0: I.a Salle 3, Central O: Warwick 3, Central O: Warwick 2. Central 03 East Providence 2. Central O: East Providence 1, Cen- tral 3. Due to lack of experience the hockey team could not be with the leaders. Having only four veterans to start with, Coach Shuster worked hard to build up a winning combination. hut next year Central will have a score of veterans and the team should reach the peak of Central's teams of three years ago. Vwlith the veterans carrying all the offensive and scoring all the points, next year's team should more than make up for this year's poor showing. .99. THE BLACK AND ooLD ..JUNE-1936.. , lV1en's Faculty Basketball Team FOR the first time in Central's short career, a basketball game between the Faculty and Varsity was arranged. The City Gym was chosen as neutral territory for the opposing cohorts, with popular prices prevailing for the gala event. The day of the game arrived in a torrential downpour. leaving the financial advisors with very little natural hair left. In the evening, conditions were changed: it rained harder! The arrival of the Faculty on the floor was a surprise to everyone, for to supplant the loss of such stars as Mr. Dave Flash Hill and Ken Clark, who were bailing out their cellars, the Faculty had secured a ringer in the person of Pete Donnelly from Roger Williams Junior High! Play opened at a swift pace with the Varsity drawing nrst blood and holding a two-point lead till the half ended. With the beginning of the second half the star guards, Captain Parker and Coach Schuster, entered the game and bottled up Gentleman Joe Haddock and Tom Bombas, leaving Mr. Donnelly and Mr. Stanzler to score at will. This peeved the Varsity, and on the next play diminutive Mr. Jackson was hurt,-accidentally: no one seems to remember who bumped into himl At the three quarter mark the Faculty jumped into the lead by a 17-12 score. but in this sort of battle royal the outcome could have been mayhem. At the resumption of play the Varsity seemed to lag: it seemed that in a rest huddle .lake Berman told his mates that Mr. Oster hinted that marks in chemistry were due soon. However, the fight- ing spirit soon returned redoubled to both teams and the last quarter was a gem to behold. With Mr. Parker patrolling the back-court looking for victims, and Messers Oster. Stanzler, Sullivan, and Donnelly chalking up points, the Faculty continued on its merry way. With the entrance of Lieutenant McMillan, who guarded the ball as he does the Governor, the Varsity was outclassed. The final score was Faculty Cand RefereeD, 20: Varsity, 16. CContinued on Page 1011 Basketball Team THE 1935-36 basketball team found the going rather hard throughout the entire season. Handicapped by the absence of its captain, Ellsworth Sullivan, and by in- experience, the team, nevertheless, played courageously throughout the schedule. For lifteen consecutive contests the Central team failed to click. In their last game, however, the Central players resolutely determined not to go down in history as the team which never won a game. They trounced Woon- socket in the final game of the season, garnering 22 points to triumph. Captain Sullivan, who had not played all season be- cause of an injured shoulder and a sprained ankle, made his first appearance of the season in this game. The Cen- tral boys were certainly proud of their captain after the Woonsocket game for he led the team to victory by scor- ing 10 points of the total 22. Central has lost its able basketball coach, Ken Clark, who is now coaching ath- letics at Esek Hopkins Junior High School. The Central team was also practice hour. The boys had to practice at 5:00 o'clock. for that was the only time the gym was available. The size of the players was also to their disadvantage to the team for the boys were almost all the same size. Other teams in the league rated the Central team as being the hardest playing team in the league. Other reasons for the team's being at the bottom of the list were a late start and injuries. The Central boys had not played basketball until they came to Central. while in Pawtucket and at other schools the boys were started in junior high with the same coach that they had in senior high. Injuries hit handicapped by a poor many of the players. Captain Sullivan had a sprained ankle and a shoulder injury. Lanzi, another of Central's star players, was injured just at the time he was getting into condition. These reasons may seem like trifles, but they helped to put the Central team at the bottom of the league. Central should have a very good team next year with some veterans left, including Tom Bombas, as captain: Sid Levy, Miles Simon, Eclize Lanzi, and many promis- ing junior varsity men. JOHN PALAZZI BASEBALL BASEBALL-America's popular sport is be- lieved to have originated in an old Eng- lish game called rounders . Town ball, an early form of baseball, was first played in the United States as early as 1838, in Philadelphia, The first baseball game is attributed to Colonel Abner Doubleday who later became a general in the U. S. Army. In 1839 he laid out the first regular baseball diamond and form- ulated the rules of play. The first intercollegiate game was played on July 1, 1859 between Amherst and Williams Colleges at Pittsfield, Mass. In 1858 the first series of baseball games was started at Long Island, New York. It was at this time the first authorized code of rules for baseball was published. -100- Flynii, Alice Sxvaiison. Rita Karroll. MliN'S l.Xt L'l.TY lS.XSKF'l'l3:Xl.L . ll:ANl lust Rua Xlr Uslii.

The baseball team, like the football team, was handicapped by a lack of facilities for practice. The team was allowed only an hour each day at Roger Wil- liams Park, and then was obliged to move to Joseph Wil- liams Field. where according to Coach Shuster. conditions were unsuitable. Despite this handicap, the team has made an excellent showing to date. It is well-fortified with veteran ma- terial. with Pullano, Osmanski, Steinberg, Sullivan. Merolla, Zanfagna and Captain Monaco. These veterans have been augmented by such newcomers as Musso, Mollo and Wilkinson, whose flelding and timely hitting have aided in maintaining a good record for the team. Up to May 8, the team had lost but two of eight games and tied another. Barrington, South Providence, Pawtucket, and Hope having bowed before the Central forces. Hope falling twice. Cranston and La Salle de- feated Central, while the game with Moses Brown ended in a 5-5 deadlock. In Interscholastic League competition, Central has won both its contests, defeating Hope and Pawtucket. APRIL 28-CENTRAL vs. Home Central made its official 1936 debut in fine style by taking Hope into camp, 5-1. In the very first inning, Central pounced on Frank Benyon. veteran East Side flinger, and garnered three runs. After that point the game developed into a fine pitchers battle. with Steinie Steinberg matching his skill against Benyon. Each al- lowed only five hits. However, Steinberg scattered the Hope hits over as many innings, and was in no trouble at any time. He fanned twelve and issued only one pass. His lone mistake was in throwing a home run ball to Cebulski, Hope shortstop. Musso was Central's best sticker with two hits and two runs. The score was: Central, 5 runs and 5 hits. Hope, 1 run and 5 hits. MAY 5--CENTRAL VS. PAWTUCKET Central had no easy time in humbling the Redjackets of Pawtucket, in Central's second league contest. The Black and Gold was forced to come from behind in the ninth to tie up the score, and then win out in the eleventh. Steinberg was touched freely but was effective in the pinches. He struck out nine and passed two. Central was able to touch Johnson, the Pawtucket twirler, for only six hits, but these hits coupled with the opponent's miscues accounted for the Central triumph. Central knotted the score in the ninth by tallying twice, and won the game in the eleventh on a nne bit of strategy. Pul- lano, the first batter, reached first on an error. With the aid of a sacrifice and a wild pitch, he advanced to third. Then came the play. Merolla, Central third-sacker, laid a well-placed bunt in front of the plate, and Pullano slid across with the winning run. Musso and Merolla were outstanding for Central, while Johnson collected four hits off Steinberg. The score: Central, 5 runs and 6 hits. Pawtucket, 4 runs and 12 hits. MAY 6-CENTRAL Vs. LA SALLE In a non-league game, Captain Ray Monaco on the mound opposed Tom Padden in a twilight game at La Salle Alumni Field. Monaco held the La Salle club in check until the fifth inning. However, La Salle over- came Central's 2-1 lead in this inning. Monaco de- veloped a wild streak and gave 4 walks: two hits and two errors enabled the Maroon and White to score 5 runs. Then Monaco settled down to allow but one hit there- after. Central out-hit La Salle 9-6, but was unable to knot the count. Pullano, Wilkinson, and Mollo collected 2 hits apiece. The score: La Salle, 6 runs and 6 hits. Central,i4 runs and 9 hits. CContinued on Page 1085 WRESTLING RESTLING in one form or another was practiced in the Dark Ages by man as a means of self-preservation and defense. Previ- ous to the development of implements of War- fare, man had to depend upon his hands and legs to save himself and his family from out- side enemies. Some hold that is the oldest form of sport known. Wrestling as an organized sport has been in existence since the original Olympic games when the early Greeks, Egyptians and touring pro- fessional wrestlers practiced the various phases of the game. Graphic records, carved on stone slabs found in recent excavations prove that many holds, tricks and amateur grips were used in olden times. The combat of early wrestlers is described in Homer's Odyssey. Practically all countries in the modern Olym- pic Games use the style of wrestling known as Greco-Roman. Wrestling will come into great prominence this year as the result of the 1936 Olympic Games to be held in Berlin. Central has a wrestling team. -102- 'Tl-IEY VON l' BE WITH NEXT YEAR AJ.

Some of the outstanding players of the Juniors were: Captain Evelyn Haxton, Theresa Langevin, Co-Captain Margie Golden, Dott Motta, Eva De Palma, Helen Pap- pas, Harriet Keller, Josephine Cardoza, Esther Salisbury, Bertha De Orio, Florence Mann and Florence Davis. 11A Basketball Team GN March 25, the Central Junior Basketball Team was defeated by the Hope Juniors at Nathan Bishop Junior High. At the end of the first quarter Central was leading with the score of 4 to 0. Hope put up a stiff fight, but with Florence Kitchen and Gladys Mercier on guard they were unable to score. The end of the half found Central still leading with the score of 8 to 3. In the third quarter Hope came through to even the game by scoring 6 points. The beginning of the last quarter found both teams tie with the score of 9 all. Central tried very hard to win but lost the game to Hope with the score 13 to ll. Some of the outstanding players in this game were: Alice Dinasky, Ann McVicker, Aunlia Randall, Florence Kitchen, and Captain Gladys Mercier. 12A Cageball Team THE Senior cageball team this year was recorded in sports history as the liveliest and most intelligent team that Central has known for many a year. Most of the team was made up of last season's veterans. Perhaps the most exciting game of the season was played on January 24, with the Jay-vees. It was any- body's game! During the first half the 12A team surged ahead, but the Jay-vees had the same fighting spirit: therefore, both agreed to settle for 22-21 in favor of the Jay-vees. Opportunity for retribution came on the 3rd of Febru- ary when the 12A team nosed out the lower classmates. The score at the finish was 21-20. Two of the outstand- ing entries were Winifred Carey and Fannie Malachow- sky. The season was officially opened with the sophomore team on January 17th. With Barbara Whitehead as the captain, and Florence Kitchen as the sophs leader, the game proved to be the l2A's first conquest by the score of 25-21. Central handed Classical Varsity a terrific trouncing by beating them 42-7. It was Central's game all the Way. Central was ahead by 24-4, and at the finish 42-7. Anna Montagano was Classical's star player and Amy Dreyer played a great game for Central. Central's two conflicts with Hope resulted in over- whelming victories for them. The first battle was fought at Nathan Bishop. At the finish Hope was still hopping and hoping. The final score was 40-8 in our favor. The score of the second game with Hope was 38-15 in our favor. The final game was a return game with Classical on February ll. The score was 35-2l in favor of Central. The 12A team lost the championship only because of its lone defeat by the Central Jay-vees. In congratulating the l2A's on their fine work, we must not forget to give a Word of praise to their good friend and excellent coach, Miss Mary Zeisenitz. Some think that a mere word of praise is sufficient to satisfy a coach: maybe it is: but members of the team agreed they had not only a patient and loving coach, but also a sincere friend, who was ever-ready to help them out of difficulties and reach them the intricacies of cage- ball. The regular line-up is as follows: Winifred Carey, Carolyn Parnas, Nina Collins, Eva Quist, Josephine Famiglietti, Frances Del Sesto, Elean Chapman, Barbara Whitehead, Alice Swanson, Marie Mariner, Elsie Barks. Frances Malachowsky, Amy Dreyer, Dorothy Stafford, Lucille Emery. The following played as substitutes: Marion Casey, Dorothy Cawthorn, Beatrice Fleming, Barbara Starr, Freida Tolchinsky, Irene Gilardi, Augustina Giardina. Barbara Ruff, and Louise Calise. -104- C'AGliB.ll.l. TEAM lin! Rott' F. Fascitrlli, Iannoz zi, IJ, Mclicnnuy. IQ. XVIn-Inn. .l, Cav- erly. lf. llaxlon. ll Keller, Y, Lombar- di, li.

IZA Basketball Team HE elimination of roughness and all over the floor play makes basketball an ideal girls' sport and many play the regular game, but it must be remembered that if it is rightly played it is never an easy, leisurely game and is certainly not suited to those who merely wish a light exercise. It took a man by the name of James Nainsmith of the Springfield, Massachusetts, Y. M. C. A. in I89l to in- vent the game of basketball-but, it took the seniors of Central High to show the crowds how to win their class championships every year. In 1934, the present seniors won the Sophomore City Championship: in 1935 they won the Junior City Championshipg and in 1936 they easily captured the City Championship. CENTRAL 12A's vs. CENTRAL 12B's The Iirst game of the season found the Seniors shoot- ing baskets over the heads of the l2B's. The iirst two quarters found both teams warming up and the score at the half was I0-4, in favor of the Seniors. During the third quarter, the game had picked up in both speed and enjoyment, and in the fourth quarter the I2A's substi- tuted, bringing their first game to a close with a score ot 22-IO. CENTRAL Vs. CLASSICAL For many years Classical's Varsity and Central have had much rivalry when it came to playing basketball. -lO5- 'Tl-IE BLACK - Q JUNE Between the two schools, the championship has always rested. When the starting whistle blew, both teams went into action. It was very apparent that the two teams were nervous. Classical had several of their classmates at the game to cheer them on while Central depended upon their loyal subs . After the game got under way, it proved to be one of the fastest yet cleanest games ever played. The Classical girls showed excellent passwork and were very speedy. Central, however, was an even match. Betts and Montagano scored l8 points for Classical while Quist and Collins made 28 points for Central. CENTRAL VS. HOPE Our first tift with Hope was played at Nathan Bishop. The first half of the game was perhaps the worst Cen- tral ever played and the score was 4-3. There were too many time outs for the game to be exciting, Much credit, however, goes to the Hope players, The last half they really came thru and showed us their true talents. They proved to be very fast and had a great deal of brilliant passwork. Keen competition was offered and the result was 23-5 in favor of Central. CENTRAL 12A's vs. CENTRAL 1lA's The last game of the season was played with the Cen- tral llA's to see which team would capture the cham- pionship. The Juniors arrived all filled with enthusiasm and confident that they could beat those snappy seniors. The Seniors, however, proved the superior and easily won the game, thus winning the title of City Champions. As most of you know, the regular team has been the same since they started out three years ago. It is quite probable that these girls will be heard of when they are on their respective college teams. Certificates were awarded to the following for being on the basketball team: Louise Calise, captain: Nina Col- lins, Eva Quist, Elsie Barks, Barbara Starr, Ethel Carl- son, Amy Dreyer, Betty Toolin, Josephine Famiglietti, Beatrice Fleming, Alice Swanson, Barbara Whitehead, Elean Chapman, Freida Tolchinsky, Genevieve Bessette. Augustine Cuiardina. BARBARA WHITEHEAD MISS COLITZ ON THE 12A BASKETBALL TEAM IT seems appropriate at this time to bring attention to some of the girls who have ball ability all through their Louise Calise as side center is shown outstanding basket- stay in Central. Captain easily accorded the fastest side center on any class high school team. Eva Quist, though short, has proved a Elsie Barks, as guard, has stopped some of the outstand- fast, dependable forward. ing forwards from scoring against her team and it has been a comfortable feeling for the Central seniors to know that she is always there protecting her team. AND GOLD 1936 - Q With these fast games, with the going strenuous, it has been a big help to have Nina Collins on the short side, and Amy Dreyer on the tall side. and Josephine Famiglietti in the middle to help with their eagle eyes and basket scoring. During our whole three years, we have never been able to decide whether Ethel Carlson or Bar- bara Starr is the superior player. so we have always had both of them play in each game. With our host of guards such as Betty Toolan, Elean Chapman and Wini- fred Carey, we have overcome the strongest competition in the city. About the girls Miss Colitz says: It is with a deep feeling of regret that I say good-by to the Central senior basketball girls. SOPHOMORE BASKETBALL THE Sophomores made a fine showing in basketball. Their record for the season was: Central Sophs 9. Classical Fresh 34: Central Sophs 24, Hope Sophs 231 Central Sophs 18, Classical Sophs 10: Central Sophs 4.

WINIFRED CAREY, '36 BABY'S PRIVILEGES Not quite three years have passed away Since baby came to us to stay- A tiny, loving, baby boy Who brought us all untold of joy. But mother says he's growing fast, And baby ways not long will last. And mother says, Let him have fun, His baby days will soon be done. So, he may step on father's hat, And wipe his feet on our new mat, And break a cup or crack a plate, Or pull a picket from the gate. Then mother blames it all on me, Cause Baby's such a dear. says she. He wouldn't do these things at all, And then, of course. he's much too small To play such naughty pranks as these. And then, she tells me, if I please To gather up and put away ri H The toys that baby dropped in play: But wait until I'm big and tall! I'll make him work, although he's small, And if he won't.

JUNE -1936 f - Consider the Game of Football HE United States is unique in having great interest in sports from the spectator's point of view. The thousands upon thousands of people who turn out to watch baseball, boxing, and football are not duplicated in any other country, The growth of such interest is per- haps most spectacular in the case of football. The inter- est has been merited by the colorful qualities of the game itself, for it is doubtless the most exciting of modern sports from the point of View of the average spectator. Since the interest in the game is so comparatively re- cent, many people look upon it as a modern development in sports, but such is not the case. The beginning of football dates back even before the time of the Greeks and Romans. In Greece a man named Aristonico Caristo was connected with its early history thousands of years ago. A statue was erected in Caristo's honor by his fellow Athenian citizens for his surpassing ability in the game called Pheninda. The game was played amazingly like the football of today. Their field was rectangular in shape and bounded by side lines and a goal line. It was played with twenty-seven players, divided into fifteen run- ners, placed in front. and these fifteen runners divided into three groups. The forward pass in their game as in ours was the principal feature of the attack. Pheninda was later called Harpastum by the Romans. An excel- lent account of Harpastum appears as early as 117 A. D. The Romans passed this game on to the Britons. We hear it mentioned in Britain in 1175. The Britons want- ed a game of fair play, of physical contact, of strength. When such a game was furnished, it immediately became a popular sport, as golf later did. Due to the astonishing fact that football overwhelmed the Briton's chief sport- archery-the rulers began to issue edicts forbidding foot- ball. In 1314 King Edward issued a proclamation against further playing in the city of London. However, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, who was crowned queen in 1558, football was again played in the common, in the streets, and in country lanes, the goals being some- times as much as a mile apart. About 1800 football was adopted in England by schools and universities. The Rugby Union was estab- lished and definite rules were made concerning the game. Since then, Rugby, the game in which the ball is chiefly carried. has advanced and been greatly improved, and the Association game, in which the ball is kicked, dribbled, and tackled, has also been greatly improved. Statistics tell us that there was very little football played in the universities of our country until 1871, the tirst real game being played between Harvard and Yale, after Harvard had visited Canada and had become enrap- tured with the sport. As a result, the other schools and universities of our country adopted football. No sport of any kind has ever equalled or compared with the Amer- ican inter-collegiate games of the last twenty-five years. Greatly increased crowds now witness this sport. No longer do football enthusiasts stand behind ropes on the sidelines. The popularity of the game has made it neces- sary to build huge stadiums for the sport, to replace old wooden stands. Colleges now have their own football fields on the college grounds. We may rightly say that due to the development of great skill, teamwork and co- operation on the part of the American intercollegiate foot- ball teams and coaches, football has acquired the remark- able following it has today. Yes, victorious or defeated, the spirit throughout a football game is one of splendid enthusiasm. There is also much that is inspirational in the sturdy, devoted support of the spectators. The 1936 college and high school football teams are looking for- ward to adding another eventful year to the history of the gridiron. EUNICE WINSOR, '38 BASEBALL TEAM CContinued from Page 1025 It is difficult at this early date to predict the outcome of the pennant race. inasmuch as the teams are so evenly matched. There have been startling upsets already, but we confidently expect that Central will be up at the top at the end of the season. The remainder of the schedule is as follows: May 15-Cranston. May 30-Durfee. May 19-Rogers. June 2-Mount St. Charles. May 22-La Salle. June 5-East Providence. May 29-Woonsocket. RAYMOND FERRI SKIING KIS have been a practical means of transpor- tation in some localities in Europe for cen- turies but not until the latter part of the nine- teenth century were they given consideration as equipment for recreational purpose. Q Skis were brought from the Scandinavian countries to other parts of the European con- tinent by outsiders. After 1900 recreational ski- ing enjoyed great growth in Europe. The National Ski Association was formed in the United States in 1902 with ski jumping obtaining much emphasis. Downhill ski run- ning was popularized at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire. Colleges and even secondary schools throughout New England, especially in Maine and New Hampshire, have encouraged the growth of the sport. Panel on cpposite page by Frank J.

E425 I S CMN Wwvvvk M4 Q0 ,JE O , Q E, 'KF E S The Good Samaritan WHEN ONE GOOD TURN DESERVES ANOTHER By JOHN HUoHEs, '38 - FICTION ' OHN SEYMOUR, real estate agent, leaned back in his roadster and chuckled. Short, blond, with twinkling, blue eyes and a quivering' little mustache, he radiated hap- piness and contentment. From time to time, he patted affectionately his side pocket, where reposed the cause of his joy-eight hundred dollars-his commission on an advantageous land deal. Ahead, on the lonely highway, appeared a speck, which gradually took the form of a man, large and pon- derous. The man raised his thumb, wagged it vigorously forward and then looked inquiringly at Seymour. Sey- mour, his heart bubbling over with benevolence, was only too willing to express his joyous feelings in some mag- n-animous and altruistic deed. Stopping, he opened the door, and said, Hop in. The stranger obeyed with alacrity. He was dressed in a grey suit, which encompassed his huge frame with dif- hculty. His face, in keeping with his body, was large and Horid, with a fiat nose, a humorous mouth and gar- gantuan ears. His light grey eyes were not strictly honest, perhaps, but certainly big-hearted, the eyes of a person who does dishonest things in an honest way. He settled back in his seat and complacently lit a cigar butt. They rode for several miles without speaking, except for a few remarks on the weather. Then the stranger broke the silence. You know, this is the first time I've rode in a car in three years. i'Yeah? How's that? Been ill? 'ANaw, the stranger replied, I've been in jail for pickpocketing. I've been in twice before for the same thing. Seymour's face turned ashen. And he with eight hun- dred dollars on him! The stranger continued talking, explaining in detail particularly choice parts of his inter- esting career. I remember one time I was talking to an old gink, who was chattering how nobody could ever pickpocket him. We was talking for live minutes. When I left I had his wallet in my pocket. Pretty slick, eh? I was considered the smoothest dip on Broadway. The sweat ran in rivulets down Seymour's face. His eyes began to protrude and his mouth to open. Tom the Dip had announced as his destination New York, so Seymour desperately trod the accelerator. They were clipping along about eight-five, when the roar of a motorcycle broke into .Iohn's morbid thoughts. A cop, suddenly appearing beside the car. with a wave of his hand, indicated the curb. His dour, Hibernian face was twisted into a grim smile as he muttered, Heh, heh, eighty at the least. He strode over to the roadster and growled, License and registration. His eye lighted up hopefully as Sey- mour went through pocket after pocket but he spat in disappointment when they were produced, He made out the two tickets, gave one to Seymour and put the other in his pocket. He sauntered around to the rear and looked at the back of the car. License plate coming off, he grunted. Fix it. Seymour and the stranger got out and while Seymour was tightening his plate, Tom engaged the cop in conversation. When they finally climbed back into the car, Tom was smiling. A few hours later they reached New York. Tom got out and looked peculiarly at Seymour. I suppose you're glad to get rid of me, Well. any- way thanks for the ride, and here's a souvenir to re- member fOld Tom' by. He handed a slip of paper to Seymour, who anxious to be rid of his pilfering com- panion, slipped the paper into his pocket and hurriedly drove off. A few miles on, he took out the paper. He looked at it, gasped and then thoughtfully replaced the officer's part of the speeding ticket in his pocket.

PATRICIA PIKE -110- The Art of Being Well-Groomed WHAT EVERY HIGH SCHOOL BOY AND GIRL SHOULD KNOW By Ti-IERESA SURABIAN, '36 - ARTICLE ' HERE is a distinct value in always being well- groomed, so important that it readily overshadows the trouble and time it takes to accomplish the art. It is undoubtedly an art to be well-groomed anywhere, any- time, yet one that requires no special talent. but simply careful, thoughtful planning. In business, it is a decided help to be pleasantly, yet not showily dressed, and this applies to men as well as to women. Quite often, in business dealings, the busi- ness man will be prejudiced against some one, even before that person has begun to speak, and it may be that a slovenly, untidy appearance is the reason. Besides a good brain. a clever line, and an interesting manner, appearance can and does help or hinder advancement to a great ex- tent. In writing of a well-groomed person, I do not mean merely the carefulness or the neatness of the toilet, but the taste with which the clothes themselves are chosen. Expensive clothes are not necessary, for a pleasant ap- pearance can be achieved with a reasonable amount of money, a clever eye, and a little thought. When buying clothes, both girls and boys should take into consideration many points. The first and most im- portant is the purpose which the clothes will serve. Are they to be worn in school or in an office? Or are they to be worn at social gatherings? In buying any wearing apparel, one should first know definitely where it is to be worn in order that the selection may be entirely ap- propriate. For business and school, comfortable, sensible, tailored things are preferred. No extremes look well, es- pecially when comfort and convenience are being sacri- ficed. The golfer who is appropriately attired in checked knickers for the links would hardly be suitably attired for a day's work in an insurance office. This matter of suitable clothing also pertains to girls' clothing, although a girl's sport clothes are usually in good taste for school or business wear. However, the red chiffon handkerchief that proved such a success at the last party would be rather out of place in the office. At social gatherings, there are certain conventions to be followed, and boys and girls should realize it is far better to be too informally-dressed at a formal gathering than to be strikingly over-dressed at an informal affair. The evening gown and full dress outlits are apt to make the wearers feel decidedly uncomfortable when the rest of the group are wearing street clothes. I-Iowever, the neatness and appropriateness of the clothes are not all there is to being well-groomed. The hair and the nails are two very important features that should always be well-kept. Clean, healthly-looking hair is really important, and in achieving this type of hair an elaborate coiffure is far from necessary. Clean, well- brushed hair, worn simply, is oftentimes the most attrac- tive, In regard to nails-keep them short! Keep them clean! And if girls do use a polish, they must beware of the deep colors that are so unnatural. They should also be extremely careful in using cosmetics. A small amount, applied on certain occasions, is permissible, but use so little that it will look natural. Aside from heavy make-up giving one the appearance of a circus clown, it is unhealthy for the skin and gives a bad impression. A well-modulated voice and pleasant manners are also two essentials. The whole effect of a carefully groomed appearance may be spoiled by a loud. unpleasant voice. Also, in cultivating a smooth, easy manner, don't try so hard that you gush and make yourself a general nuis- ance, Don't carry politeness to the extreme. No matter where you are, aside from considering your appearance, you should be conscious of your speech and manner. Because the world at large is daily becoming more con- scious of personal appearance, and realizes that harmony of line and color can be achieved practically anywhere in everything, it stands to reason that individuals desiring harmonious surroundings will also desire the association of neatly and properly dressed companions and co-work- ers, who satisfy all requirements regarding cleanliness and appropriateness in personal matters. It is not necessary to own an outstanding wardrobe. although originality in clothes is interesting, A few well-chosen garments, with the correct accessories, a distinctive personal bearing, and above all, an immaculate and tidy arrangement will do much towards establishing one in business, social, or civic life. -Ill- Central Oddities THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW ABOUT YOUR OWN SCHOOL ' ARTICLE - NICE upon a time, dear children. there was a boy who attended Central High School. He could not throw the discus. so he did not go out for the track team. He could not swim, so he did not go out for the swimming team. But the boy-this was in the year 1936. dear children, in case 1 haven't mentioned it--the boy could write, so he decided to go out for the BLACK AND GOLD Board. In the mad swirl of contenders for places on the BLACK AND GOLD Board this lad-his name was Johnny Factfinder, by the way-got lost in the shufile and con- sequently was given no assignment for the June issue, Days passed. Weeks passed. BLACK AND GOLD work- ers toiled feverishly into the afternoon hours in a mad search for just the right things to make the pages of the June issue lively and entertaining. But not Johnny Fact- hnder. There he stood on the sidelines. a writer born, his talents wasted on the desert air. No one had given him an assignment. Life for Johnny was Very depress- ing indeed. Then one day Mr. Brownsword, in charge of literary work for the BLACK AND GOLD, espied Johnny in a cor- ner. Wiping away big tears which coursed down his face, Johnny sobbed out his pitiful tale. Come now, my lad, sobbed Mr. Brownsword, CEditors' note: Just how many more people are going to sob in this weird tale?D Don't take things so hard. Maybe we can find an assignment for you after all. Fol- low me. Yes, sir, sobbed Johnny as he followed Mr. Brown- sword into the hallowed confines of 110. Here is your assignment. You are to write an article about Central High School. Seek out unusual facts. Go after Central oddities. Look for the novel and the pic- turesque. And have your article ready by May 15. As you say, sir, sobbed Johnny. CEditors' note: One more sob in this story and out it goes.D And thus it was that Johnny Factfinder, aided and abetted by two 12A students, Claire Galligan and John Palazzi, walked out into the corridors of Central High School on the afternoon of April 13th in search of strange and extraordinary facts about Central. His simple story appears below and who can say that he has failed? CEditors' note: We can.J What he has to say about Central is the plain, unvar- nished truth. We present his story as he told it to us. CENTRAL ODDITIES By Johnny Factfinder So you think that you know all there is to know about Central? Well, you don't. There's much more to it than that. Did you know, for instance. that there are 98 classrooms in this school? That there are ll offices and no fewer than 6156 seats in Central? That 75 tons of paper are used each year? That the keys of 300 type- writers, 50 calculating machines, and three pianos are clicked each school day? Interested. aren't you? Well, did you know that six times the length of one corridor is a mile. and that our teachers, While on corridor patrol, walk about forty miles a week? Now that we're measuring, can you picture a mile and a half? Good, that's the length of the type- writing ribbon used annually in our school. All the sandwiches sold in our cafeterias from Septem- ber to June would make a stack one and one-sixth miles in length. All the straws used to extract milk from bot- tles sold over the counters of our boys' and girls' cafe- terias if laid end to end would reach from here to the Rhode Island Auditorium. All right, you measure them sometime! Figure it out for yourself. There are 27.000 bottles of milk sold each year. Each has in it a straw. 27,000 straws-each eight inches long-Well, you go on from there. 1'll Wait here until you get back. Would you believe that 650 pounds of paper are used to print the Centralite? That there are 5000 lockers in the school and that Miss Samuels and Mr. Belding have to care for 8000 locks and keys? That there are 10,000 bottles in the science department? If you were to save the one bottle in which your daily quart of milk comes, you would have to save 28 years to collect that number. Would you believe that 600 pounds of scouring powder. six huge brooms, three dozen mops, three dozen brushes, and an untold amount of elbow grease are needed to keep Central clean? That 1.920 packages of paper towels and 500 one-pound packages of soap flakes are needed to keep clean the hands of Central students? That 1,500 elec- tric light bulbs light us the way to knowledge? If one pencil can write one mile of geometry, how many miles can 29,000 pencils write? If one pen holder can be chewed in six seconds, how long will it take to chew 12,000 pen holders? If A and B are brothers and A gives B one-half as many apples as B expected to get, how many apples did A give B? Well, skip that then. There's no harm, though, in trying to get my math work for this evening out of the way. Central also uses about 36,000 penpoints annually and withdraws a total of 14,500 books normally from the One school library. There are also 15336. . . That's all. Thanks! sobbed Mr. Brownsword. fEditors' note: That's enough, sobbed the editorsj C. G. J. P. -112- Highlights in a School Career A CLARINET PLAYER TRIES OUT FOR THE SCHOOL BAND By RUTH RICHTER, '36 ' ESSAY - IFE in school, as a rule, is rather tranquil. Sometimes, however, there comes an interlude when this tran- quility is interrupted, often by the student herself. I had such an experience recently. For a year and a half, life in school had been running rather smoothly. However, to belong to the select group called Senior Band was my ambition. One could find me listening ap- preciatively to the music almost daily at 1:00 o'clock. To be a part of that worthy organization was worth trying for, I concluded one day. That evening at a round table session with my parents, I decided to embark on a musical career. Since the instrument of my choice had been lying idly in a cupboard with no one attempting to play it, I decided that the clarinet was my own. It is hard to realize how much one has to go through to become a musician. First there are consultations with advisers as to time to be devoted to learning, and so forth. Then there is the question of a teacher. Fortu- nately, our school is blessed with a system whereby any- one who is musically inclined may take lessons from competent teachers provided by the school for this pur- pose. Months pass, during which much had been accom- plished by serious practicing and by playing in the Junior Band. The term slowly drew to a close. My idea, now that I could play a little, was to get into the Senior Band. And therein lies a tale. For the Hrst few days of the new term, not trusting the Daily Bulletin reports, I ran down to the auditorium to see whether tryouts are to be had. And at last-hur- rahl The band members are putting their instruments together! That means there will be a rehearsal. I dash for the front of the auditorium and hurriedly assemble my clarinet. Several older members assure me that I'll be okay, and that I'll be accepted, that the band can use extra clarinet players. I take a seat as far from the director as possible, all conhdence in myself having been shattered by contact with better players than I, and we proceed to play several pieces warming up, so to speak. Then the bandmaster's baton is raised for silence, and the fatal words are uttered, We 'R DAWN will now have clarinet tryouts. A murmuring under- current may be heard as nervous pupils begin to adjust reeds, fuss with keys, and arrange music stands and chairs in order to be perfectly comfortable while playing. Ah, the soloist is to play. No need to get nervous: there are eight players ahead of me. I've got to keep con- trol of myself. Why does my heart beat so? It isn't my turn to play yet. Watch the music. Listen to how it is played. Get the rhythm. The music, of course, is intri- cate. That is what tryout music should be. Oh, dear, two more players before I start. Why did I ever decide to play the clarinet! It is surely the hardest instrument. Oh! It is my turn to play. Has my heart stopped beat- ing? No, it is hammering now, this time so loudly I'm sure the person sitting next to me must hear it. Oh, I wish I were home now, or sitting in the back of the auditorium listening instead of being tried out. What chance have I got when these others are so wonderful! Maybe I can back out now, say I don't want to play after all. Why do they all stare at me? Can't they look at their music instead of at me? Is that a sympathetic gleam I caught in Mr. Bandmaster's eyes? Maybe I can play it after all. I will play it. Haven't I worked hard for this chance? Now, one, two, ready, begin. Keep both eyes on the notes, silly. Nonsense, the paper isn't swim- ming. Can those be tears obstructing my vision? Don't stop now. Oh, dear, Mr. Bandmaster, I can't see the music. My lips quiver. May I begin again? There, a sigh may help. Wait until I jerk the hair out of my eyes. Now, one, two, ready, begin. Just keep playing, they said. Don't stop to correct yourself if you make a mis- take. Just keep playing. Nothing matters now. What if my fingers are cold and clammy, as long as I can move them from one key to another. I don't dare look up. I might lose my place. Will I ever reach the bottom of the page? I can't go on much longer. No breath left. Ah, the baton has rapped for silence. I can stop play- ing now. My cheeks burn, my fingers are icy, and my head whirls. What difference does it all make anyway? I'm in the band! Mr. Bandmaster says he can use me! The gray dawn crept upon the earth Giving it beauty and colorful worth Making all things clear and bright Dispelling darkness and bringing light!

HERBERT BERG Speed Trap THE OFFICER CATCHES UP WITH MRS. VAN PIERPONT By RAYMOND FERRI, '37 ' FICTION - UT of the quiet stillness of the afternoon air came the deep drone of an automobile motor. Crouched behind the steering wheel was Mrs. Cynthia Van Pier- pont, society matron of Newport and the Back Bay. Mrs. Van Pierpont was out to enjoy the beautiful day, and she had taken the big roadster herself. Along the new four-lane road, the powerful car sped, its motor purring like a contented cat. Over the hills and into the valleys swept the car. Upon a sudden inspiration, Mrs. Van Pierpont looked back. Not far behind her was the figure of a state trooper. bent over the handle bars of hls motor- cycle, hurtling along the road after her. Cynthia Van Pierpont felt very sick, indeed. She could see her name in the papers, arrested for speedingiCynthia Van Pier- pont, who had lectured on this common American vice. The shame of it. A wild impulse surged up in her. She would lead this trooper a merry chase before he caught her. Gradually she increased the speed of the car until it was roaring over the road, its tires singing on the hot cement. Look- ing at the rear-view mirror, she saw that she was hold- ing her own with the grim-looking ngure of the trooper. Somehow, it reminded Cynthia Van Pierpont of the grim spectre of Death pursuing her so doggedly. The powerful, supercharged car roared along the road. The landscape, so clear before, now became a mere blur to her. She felt as though her eyebrows were going to be blown through her head, and her hair was shipped tightly back from her forehead. In spite of the high speed of her car,Cynthia could see the trooper coming along in her wake as fast as ever. Suddenly to her dis- may, she noticed he was gaining on her. Spotting a side road, she swung the wheel. The car swerved around, skidded off the cement road with a shriek of the tires and sped down the narrow, dirt road which led to Heaven knows where. The trooper came after the car with the tenacity of a bull-dog. Cynthia was unable to see him, as the dust cloud caused by her car completely enveloped him, but she knew he was right behind her. The chase went grimly on its way, the pursued and pursuer roaring over rickety bridges and over the bumpy dirt road in a relentless race. Finally they reached another cement road, and Cynthia turned the car into it. She hung desperately on the wheel, coughing and trying to clear her eyes of dust. Behind her came the now dust-covered state trooper. To Cyn- thia's intense discomfort, he was now gaining rapidly, and it was a matter of a few moments before he would overtake her. At last it happened. After the chase continued for five or six more miles, the trooper drew alongside, forcing her to the side of the road. The stern-looking, steely- eyed minion of the law dismounted and strode to the car. He opened his mouth as if to speak, but the tired and dusty Cynthia Van Pierpont spoke nrst. Pleadingly she said, 'AOh, officer, don't arrest me, please. I must reach the city and besides I wasn't going faster than the law allows. But- , began the trooper. Do you know who I am? she went on. I am Cynthia Van Pierpont, of the Newport Van Pierpontsf' This was said with a haughty glance and in an even more haughty voice, and the look seemed to say Now go ahead and arrest me if you dare. But- , the trooper began once more. I If you make a habit of arresting every motorist be- cause he goes forty-life miles an hour, I shall report you to your superiors. It comes to a pretty pass when one can't drive without being chased by a state trooper. Cynthia Van Pierpont was very indignant, indeed. By this ploded. A'Listen, lady, he roared, I didn't chase you to give you a ticket. I don't care who you are or where you come from and furthermore, I don't chase every motor- ist who does forty-five. All I wanted to do was to re- turn your hat which you dropped a way back on the time, the trooper lost him temper and ex- other road. Here it is.

Mr, Simpertinkle, bless him, was invited to contribute to a high school annual in the spring of '84, but refused. He has regretted the refusal ever since. We might even go so far as to say that Mr. Simper- tinkle spent the remaining years of his life trying to get something printed in a high school annual. He never suc- ceeded. PESTS QWritten for Mr. Jones by One of His Studentsb To my estimation, the teacher he should of told us what is pests but he never did, usually when he gives a topic he says like this he says Look up in the dicton- ary the words, you bet Pests a'nt in the dicitonary or he would of told us to look It up but I a'nt going to asked him. I got a pretty good idea anyway about what it is a Pest. Like it is somebody to my estimation you dont take a cater to. Like girls. Only a funny thing I notice, when we was in Jr high girls was different, they was pests all the time pesting, they talk dumb, they ack dumb. But now its only a couple years but Girls is different. They dont talk so dumb they dont ack so dumb. I don' mind talking to them no more, they change so much, neither does the other guys, in fact to my estimation girls has changed a lot, in fact like the Cotton gin and the horse in a couple years Girls has changed so much they is now practically Man's dearest Friend. Another Pest is in English. For instance I been Writ- ing compositiins since a long time and my coaleagues or clasmates they done the same. But not the same. They guy in front of me he gets a B. The guy behind me gets a B.The guy on this side and that side he gets a B. Only me I dont get no b, so I says to the teacher Why don't I get no b. So she says to me like this it was a woman teacher she says, I dont puntuate so good. So who's falt is it I dont puntuate so good? Only I don't see no difrence from the guys in my class, they an't no beter than me. So Teachers is a Pest. SENIORITISI By Mr. Peasley A fever generally accompanied by cranial inflation.

Pleasant School BLACK AND GOLD OBTAINS EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH DR. ANDERSEN By THERESA SURABIAN, '36 ' ARTICLE ' F all the buildings being erected at this time by the City of Providence, the one in which teachers and students are most interested is the new Mount Pleasant High School soon to be occupied by 2200 high school students. Teachers and students of Central High School will perhaps be more concerned than any other group in Providence because they have felt the need of a new senior high school for some time. Because the overcrowded con- ditions have hampered Central school life to such an ex- tent, the Mount Pleasant High School will undoubtedly be one of the most appreciated schools ever built in Rhode Island. Dr. Erik A. Andersen, Deputy Superintendent of Schools. who has had charge of the planning of all the excellent junior high schools, is responsible with Mr. Charles F. Towne, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, for the planning of the Mount Pleasant High School, and has done his utmost to retain and incorporate all the de- sirable features of the junior high school in the new senior high school. A good starting point, in the opinion of Dr. Andersen, is the school program, because everything that should be considered in making plans is accounted for. In the planning of this comprehensive regional high school, Dr. Andersen has generously consultedfwith prin- cipals, vice principals, department heads, and teachers re- garding their preferences as to kinds of equipment. He has also taken into consideration every detail to suit the needs and the special abilities of the future occupants of the school, and has succeeded in carrying out a great many splendid ideas that students are sure to enjoy and appre- ciate. The school itself will consist of one large structure of pure Gothic design, set high on a hill overlooking the city. The building, over 500 feet in length, will be of red brick in combination with limestone, and has been set back from the street about 100 feet in order to pro- vide a suitable setting for complete landscaping in an ar- tistic manner. At the main entrance there are two towers treated in Gothic style that give character and dignity to the front elevation. A special type of window has been chosen because of the ease with which it may be opened and closed, and adjustments made without draft. The building has been planned in such a way as to provide ample sunshine and fresh air to all rooms. The 28-acre site provides room for two recreation fields, one for the girls and one for the boys, in addition a battery of tennis courts at the rear of the building. The school adjoins the new municipal golf course, making it convenient for golf enthusiasts. Also at the rear of the building is a spacious plot of land which has been re- served for the parking of automobiles. In the planning of the interior of the school, special attention has been paid to every detail, no matter how trivial. The long wing of the building will be devoted mostly to the academic subjects, while the science suite and conservatory are located on the top floor. Class- rooms have been arranged in suites of rooms. That is, all subjects that are related are to be taught in rooms that are connected. There will be suites for science, home economics, shops, English, foreign and modern languages, mathematics, commercial subjects, art, home economics. and special rooms for music. The classroom chairs will be comfortable, movable, armchair types with large writ- ing space and a shelf underneath for books. Every class- room will have ample cabinet storage space for reference books and materials. In the art rooms, in addition to the customary blackboards. special display space for illus- trations has been added. Throughout the building, necessary rooms for supplies of each department have been included, in addition to the large general storage rooms commonly referred to as stock rooms. Clothing storage has been provided for in metal lockers recessed into the corridor walls. The lockers will be full-length with shelves for books, A health suite is planned for students who are ill: this will be in charge of a trained nurse. Provision has been made for accommodations for rest periods, and medical examinations and health inspections will be made in the same suite. Another welcome feature will be the study hall. ad- joining the library. The hall will have a capacity of 300 students. The library, adjoining, will have a trained librarian in charge to supervise, make loans, and keep the customary records, and advise students regarding their reading assignments. Aside from a complete stock of reference books, the library will also have fiction and non- fiction books. As part of the equipment chosen to make the Mount Pleasant High School a thoroughly modern and efficient school, there will be a communicating telephone system in each room to make it possible for teachers to reach each other through a central switchboard. There will also be a radio in each room, over which it will be possible to have two programs at one time: a modern fire alarm system: a clock and bell system: heating and ventilating system, and an electric lighting system designed in keeping with the latest approved standards. Also, all books used -118- THE BLACK AND GOLD - - JUNE - 1936 - - in classrooms will be new. Floors in all rooms and cor- ridors throughout the school will be covered by linoleum, a comparatively new detail in schools. There will also be one large cafeteria with accommodations for 900 stu- dents. Acoustical treatment is provided for all shops, the cafe- teria, corridors, and commercial rooms, in order that sound which might otherwise disturb classes will be eliminated. The music rooms and the auditorium are also specially treated acoustically, eliminating reverberations. One of the most interesting features of the school will be its beautiful auditorium and stage. The auditorium is to be located on the Hrst floor opposite the main en- trance of the building. It will be as complete as a mod- ern theater, with a full-working stage and sound picture equipment. The capacity of the auditorium will be one- half of the school, or 1100 students. This unit is especially attractive in that it includes a music suite to the left of the stage, and a girls' gymna- sium to the right, on the stage level. The dressing rooms are to be located on either side of the stage over the wing corridors. A large bandroom and stage room at the rear of the stage will be convenient waiting rooms, as it will be possible for large numbers of students to assemble in these music rooms, and also in the girls' gym, and in the backstage room in connection with pageants and large dramatic productions. In addition to the large auditorium, a small auditorium has also been included on the second floor for teachers' meetings, parent-teacher meetings, small student gather- ings, and dramatic groups. The chairs will be movable as they are in all rooms, in order that the floor may be cleared for class parties. There will also be a stage in this smaller auditorium for dramatic productions and or- chestras. The boys' gymnasium, which will be the scene of many an exciting skirmish, is to be in the left wing above the cafeteria. The gym will have room for 300 to 500 spec- tators at games. The showers and dressing rooms for both boys and girls will be of the same type now used with such enjoyment by the junior high people, The office suite, directly off the main lobby, includes offices for the principal, vice principal, guidance depart- ment, and heads of departments. There will also be rest rooms for teachers aside from special workrooms where teachers with free periods may work quietly and undis- turbed. The office and teaching staff will be made up, for the greater part, of teachers and clerks from Central High School. The district, although not yet finally determined, is ex- pected to be within a mile and one-half of the school. A Mother Alone' She was hurrying home in the evening, On a windy and cold winter day: Her garments were thin, and she shivered, And stumbled a bit on her way, Her step had been once firm and youthful, But now had grown heavy and worn: Her shoulders were bent as if weary, And tired of the burden they'd borne. She walked up the street, cold and hungry, She'd been looking for work all day long. She'd children to feed, and to make them Go hungry was wicked and wrong: She got home as darkness was falling. Tired, discouraged, alone: But she smiled as she went through the doorway, And whispered, Thank God, we've a home! She was met by her three little children, Their eyes full of hope and of trust: Did you find some work, Mother? they asked her, No, but tomorrow I must: Surely there's work to do somewhere. For a mother with three little dearsf' But she sighed as she spoke thus to cheer them. And her eyes slowly filled up with tears, She made them some supper and fed them, Not eating a morsel herself, For how could she eat while knowing So little was left on the shelf? And with them repeated their prayers: But how could she go to sleep thinking Of the last bit of fuel downstairs? Tomorrow she'd start out so bravely To look for work-hunting all day, She'd find some, she thought, surely somewhere. And somehow there must be a way. Oh help her, dear God, this poor mother With children to feed and to raise, When all of her courage and braveness, Needs more than a small bit of praise, She needs as no other has needed To guide her, a kind helping Hand, A Friend to encourage her forward, A Friend who will help her to stand. She's all, all alone in the battle, With only her courage her sword, But just show her how to go onward, And she'll conquer the world, dear Lord.

As I sit on a little, old, fishing boat moored to a decaying jetty adjacent to the point, I face a direction nor'west by west with Fort Hill at my back, Europe at my left, and China to my right, This above mentioned Fort Hill is famous for its might-have-been prominence during Revolution- ary days, and because it's where Grandpa used to take Grandma on a Sunday afternoon, back in 88 to gaze down upon the sailing vessels packed along the quay side. Incidentally, those were the days when The Port of Providence was something to boast about, as any long- shore character who remembers When will tell you, At the present time, there is nothing more depressing than the rotting wharves and warehouses opposite Ship, Dyer, and Dorrance Streets along Eddy Street, which once resounded to the shouts and curses of stevedores, and the thump and trundle of merchandise. There is a light fog lying close upon the murky Water, which stretches underfoot like a great sheet of opaque glass reflecting the image of everything upon or above its surface, and which lies undisturbed by the slightest swell. Fort Hill, with its slopes faintly streaked by evanescent lines of snow, overlooks a puffing, bellowing locomotive shunting cars about at its foot, much in the manner of a breathless housewife moving her furniture in a frenzy of cleaning. The point adjacent to my position was once a large dry-dock and ship-rigging yard. On the easterly side of the point one may still see the rotting and rust- ing shipruns and cable-wells, Beside one of these runs, an old character of the waterfront has set up the after-house of a vessel for his hang-out. Indeed, the point would not be complete: it would lose a portion of its appeal if the shanty, with its crooked chimney, broken windows, and the companionway erected on its side to a broken window for the sole use of four cats, should be suddenly removed. Here is where the old salts gather to smoke and gossip, and here one may listen to some interesting stories of the sea by men who have lived by it and love it. On the westerly side of the point is a ship's grave- yard-a conglomeration of old hulks in all stages of de- cay, sunk into the mud at fantastic angles with great gaping holes in their decks through which the engines and boilers were removed. A number of these old vessels were rigged on the same point. I am told by the owner of the shanty, one-time boss rigger of the yard, when it was, as he will indignantly inform you, a place of business. That was before steam vessels fspitting disdain- fullya ruined the sailor's life with their quick passages and quick discharges of cargo. A Tribute to Our Business St-aH, HE task of securing advertisements from Providence merchants for a high school year-book of this sort is not an easy one. The job takes initiative, determina- tion, tact, a ready tongue and infinite patience. All of these Joseph Bova, our genial business manager, exhibited this term. To him and his willing assistants we doff our hats. This tribute to Joseph Bova was occasioned by a let- ter received in the BLACK AND GOLD office from the local executive of a large business firm of national importance. His letter appears below: Providence, R. I., April 29, 1936 GENTLEMEN: Because we are constantly solicited for advertisements, We have been forced to adopt a policy of not doing any in the firm's name. Sometimes we are quite in sympathy with the project, as in this case. Mr. Joseph Bova was, however, so gentlemanly in his approach that we have departed from our rule in this case, only on the condition that this action on our part will not obligate us to future advertising, and with the understanding that I personally and not the firm am buy- ing and paying for the space. We congratulate you upon the good impression your solicitor made, Signed: CName in BLACK AND GOLD Filesl To Mr. Webb, Faculty Supervisor of the advertising and business workers. congratulations upon the manner in which he has coached his student solicitors, and to those students who-like Bova-exemplified that tutelage. our very best thanks. The editorial and art staffs are proud to be associated with such worthy students. Members of the student body can show their apprecia- tion of the efforts put forth by Mr. Webb and his helpers in a very definite way. Whenever you do business with a person or a firm represented in the advertising pages of the BLACK AND GOLD, make known your recognition of the support given us. It is a little thing to say. I see you advertise in our BLACK AND GOLD, but it gives satisfaction to those who have invested money in our advertising section. -122- Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb.

I f 36 Prom JEANNIE WING SOLVES HER PROBLEM IN A NOVEL WAY By THERESA SURABIAN. '36 - FICTION - EANNIE WING, sitting comfortably in her history class, paid not the least attention to the droning voice of the teacher. She was musing on what a bore school was, and how glad she would be to get out, two weeks hence. All the while she harbored these disloyal thoughts, she didn't mean them at all. Jeannie was simply disgust- ed with life in general, and Steve Williams in particular. Jeannie and Steve, to be graduated in less than two weeks, had always been mentioned in the same breath. Whenever there was a social affair, Jeannie was there with Steve. He bought her sundaes, took her to church, and carried her books. Steve had always taken Jeannie every- where, and so Jeannie had been planning and expecting to attend with Steve, the Prom, a scrumptious affair at a local hotel. That is, she had planned and expected until Elaine Shawmut had made her appearance, thereby upset- ting all of Jeannie's carefully laid plans. What made it so maddening was that Elaine was every- thing Jeannie was not. Jeannie was just what her name implied-a small, red-headed. wholesome girl. She loved to dance, swim, skate, and devour hot dogs, but Elaine was far different from Jeannie. She was tall, willowy. darkly exciting in appearance, with a most languorous air about her. It seems her mother had arrived in town to care for Elaine's grandmother, who was ill, and so Elaine had entered Westfield High School for the remain- ing few weeks of school, but what made it all so con- venient, to quote Elaine, was that her grandmother lived next door to Steve. That was why Jeannie was peeved at Steve. He had not asked her to go to the Prom, and everyone knew he had been seeing a good deal of Elaine. The school hub- bled with excitement over the fact that Steve was neg- lecting Jeannie, or so it seemed. It was in that history class that something clicked in Jeannie's brain. By the time the period was over, the plan-enlarged and complete-was ready. Clutching at May, her bosom friend, as they left the class, Jeannie drew her into an unoccupied room, and after swearing her to secrecy, outlined the plan. May agreed mutely to everything disclosed, and as the bell rang, winked at Jean- nie and disappeared down the corridor. As a result of that mysterious conversation, for twelve whole days-in fact, up until three nights before the Prom-Jeannie was besieged with invitations to shows. dances, and parties. No less than two or three devoted swains lingered about her. Jeannie was never gayer, wit- tier, more sure of herself. She miracuously appeared at affair after affair with the smartest frocks. Before this. anything had suited her. Steve, up to this time, had been unaware of anyone's existing besides Elaine, but he could not help noticing Jeannie. Occasionally, he would find his eye wandering over to the corner where Jeannie would be convulsing everyone in laughter. Elaine was rather upset by these occasions. Finally, meeting Jeannie one day in Blair's, where the group assembled for ice cream, he asked her if he could come over that evening. He had something rather im- portant to ask her, At first, Jeannie demurred, She had an engagement. She didn't see how it could be managed. Perhaps later-. Break it, Steve urged. Honest, Jeannie, I have to see you. But, Steve, I-.' Oh, be a pal. Well, all right, she graciously assented, 'Aonly you can't stay long, Gee, all right, Jeannie. See you tonight. Uh, can I 4. get you something? A soda or-. No, thanks, Bob'll take care of me. Coolly, yet smiling at Bob, she dismissed Steve. Uh, O. K. 'Byef' Good-bye. Not betraying her excitement, Jeannie asked Bob to take her home. Did Bob mind? She had an important call to make. Leaving him at the door, Jeannie sped up the stairs to her rooms, and clutching the telephone, ex- citedly dialled. Hello, hello, May? Oh, May, it's practically settled. Yes, he's coming over tonight. And, May, I've decided Bob was the more obliging in escorting me places, and so he'll get the position we planned should go to the most obliging boy. Tell him to report at nine Monday, and Dad will see him. Also, thank him for me. Good-bye, May, and thanks a lot. See you at the Prom tomorrow night. Oh my, yes! I'll be there with Steve!

'38 f FICTION - WAS putting away the cloth after having dusted the doctor's office when I heard his familiar footsteps in the hall. I ran to help him off with his coat. Hello, kid, he greeted me. Do me a favor, will you? Be an angel, and run over to the hospital and get that salve made up. I've forgotten it again. I snatched my cloak and draped it around me as I ran across the street. As I waited for the nurse to prepare the salve, I stood near a small private room in the west wing. A young crippled boy was sitting in a wheel chair facing the win- dow. A nurse was standing over him massaging his thin, twisted, crippled legs. The earnest face of the nurse at- tracted my attention and I couldn't help but wonder at the faith she seemed to have as she spoke, You'1l be walking before you realize it, dear. Her gentle hands rubbed and massaged, tenderly and firmly. She covered the boy's legs with a blanket. As I left the hospital with the package, she came out of the door with me. Oh, you're the young lady who is helping Dr. Blake. aren't you? she asked. I nodded. And who are you? I'm Bernie, she answered simply. She followed my gaze to the boy lying helplessly on the bed. I-Ie's my brother. He was hurt in a train acci- dent. The doctors say he'll never walk again, but we don't think that's true. Someday he'll run and play just as o'her boys of his age do. You'll see, he will. Her absolute faith amazed me. It kept ringing in my ears as I went about my work. During the days that followed I often spoke with the doctor about Bernie. I learned many fine things about her steadfast courage, her loyalty, and her faith. She was studying to become a doctor so that she might cure her brother, and her optimism and persistence amazed every- one. Dr. Blake had been directing some of her study on bone structure. A few days later I carried the mail to the doctor. H2 promptly sorted it out, and I saw his face light up with anticipation as he opened a long envelope. He stared at its contents with immense satisfaction, then sat back in his seat, his face glowing with pride, and joy. I did it. he said happily. I did it. It took me seven years to write that book-but it was worth it. He paused for a moment to reread the letter he held in his hand. Then he said to me, 'lSee this piece of It's a check. A check for five thousand dollars! paper? Five thousand dollarsl , I said breathlessly, hardly believing my own ears. Yes, I received it from the Medical Society for my book on bones. I told him breathlessly how happy I was for him. A few days later I met Bernie coming into the house. She greeted me, and the sound of her voice made me turn and stare. Why, Bernie, what's the matter? , I asked. The cor- ners of her mouth turned up, but her eyes remained grave. Nothing's the matter, dear. she answered. I hesitated for a moment, then I asked her to step into the doctor's study, for I had something to ask her. She followed silently. Bernie's eyes stared gloomily at the carpet. As we sat on the window seat, she turned to me and asked, Well, dear, what is it? I shook my head. No, you tell me. What is the matter, Bernie? Matter? Matter? Oh! Her voice broke as she groped for words to express herself. I know she wanted to cry, but not a trace of tears was to be seen. It hurt to look at her face: so I settled my eyes on the medal she wore on her uniform. The doctor had told me it had been given to her at the medical school for excellence in her work. I gazed stupidly at it for a few moments. lVlatter? she muttered under her breath. The stark look in her lovely eyes was alarming. Don't. . .Don't take it so hard. You'd better put your head on your arm and have a good long cry. Feel as sorry for yourself as you possibly can. Why. I do it lots of times and I always feel swell afterwards. Go ahead. She stared into space, her finger tracing the carved pat- tern on the back of the windowseat. I-I-I can't. I mustn't. Well, then, tell me what's wrong. You'll feel better when you get it off your chest. . .see if you don't. She made a weak attempt at a smile. All right, dear, I'll tell you. I can't go back to school. Can't go back to school, I repeated amazed. Oh, but you must. You must! You were at the head of the class. You can't quit now. You've got to graduate. You've got to get your diploma. You're going to be a great doctor. You believe that, don't you? You're go- ing to cure your brother. Even if all those doctors shake their heads and say it's hopeless, you don't believe it's -128- THE BLACK AND GOLD - - JUNE - 1936 Q - hopeless. You're going to see him walk again. You're going to be a great bone specialist, and you're going to cure him. She turned her head away. You don't know, she said as I started to speak again. 'iDon't say any more, I can't go back . . . There isn't any money. I sat there staring at her helplessly. i'You see, dear, l've been expecting my mother's legacy to come through, though I've known all along that I wasn't to get it until the year after next, but my lawyer said that possibly he'd be able to get me enough money to see me through college and medical school. . .Well, he called me this morning to tell me there's no hope.. .he can't possibly get me the money. There was an embarrassing moment of silence. I heard Dr. Blake's footsteps in the hall and slipped off the win- dow seat and ran to the door. Out in the hall, I stood in front of the door. barring the entrance. Did you sterilize those instruments? he asked me. No, yes, I mean, . Say, what's the matter with you? What are you standing there stammering for? Come into my study and talk with me. No, no, I mean, not yet, please. Why? He tried to push by me but I stopped him. Please, please, listen to me, doctor. You see, Bernie's in there. Bernie! Well, why didn't you say so, Let me in. Isn't she well? Yes, no, will you please, please, listen? He looked at me for a moment keenly, then said, Well, what is it? And I blurted out Bernie's story of how she'd have to leave college if she didn't get the money pretty quickly. As soon as I finished, he pushed by me, and flung open the door. Bernie sat with her head turned away, with her handkerchief against her eyes. The doctor walked across the room in a few long strides and lifted her out of her seat. His strong hands were on her trembling shoulders helping to support her. Bernie, he said, I've got great news! Your lawyer just received permission from the court to give you your inheritance. I'm sure the money will coine in handy. What are you going to do with all that money. .. S5000? I remembered sitting the night before with the doctor while he had gaily outlined his plans to go abroad for a year. Six glorious months of travel and then six months at a foreign clinic to study. He had simply glowed with happiness and anticipation. But even then he had not seemed quite as happy as now. Bernie started dumbly. Five thousand dollars? She gulped, 'iFive thousand dollars! Why the legacy was only about twelve hundred. I'm sure it was. But you forget all the interest that has been accumu- lating all these years. You run along, Bernie, and clean up my ofHce. She looked into his face for a moment and then she turned away. 'AI don't believe it. she said. He turned her around and tilted her chin upward so that her eyes looked into his. 'iBernie, you must believe it. . . Suddenly I realized that I was eavesdropping. I shut the door softly. A half-hour later, Dr. Blake and Bernie came out of the study, arm in arm, with their faces glow- ing radiantly. When Bernie left, Dr. Blake came in to the reception room where I was reading. I'm sorry about your trip to Europe, I said. MMy trip to Europe? Sorry? Well, don't be, he said almost fiercely. I never wanted to go anyway, but I couldn't think of a good excuse to put it off any longer. You know, he added confidentially, I get awfully sea- sick. I giggled foolishly, and left the room.

Here many outstanding and truly splendid exhibitions have been held this year. Because of the recent renovation of the art galleries, and also because of close cooperation between teachers and school officers, Central High School has been in an excel- lent position to sponsor various fine exhibitions. The improvement and enlargement of exhibit facilities enabled the art department to increase the number and scope of its important exhibitions, which aim to be of interest to the public, and students and teachers in all departments. One of the most unusual displays offered by the art department was the showing of one-quarter's work by Miss Dominie Pusateri, a student, which filled the entire gallery, This work was done under the direction of Miss Ethel Pierce. However, student expositions are not the only exposi- tions that the art department sponsors. Another highly interesting group, sponsored by the individual art teachers, consisted of material taken from their files on a certain division of art. During the past year, these displays num- bered six. The exhibitions and their sponsors follow: General Art: Clayton B. Smith: Architecture: Miss Ethel Pierce: Graphic Arts: Richard E. Bailey: Sculpture: Miss Lillian Dearborn: Painting: Miss Esther Harrington: anal Art in the Home: Miss Irene P. Goodwin. During the past year, several other large and unusual exhibitions have been hung in the art galleries. One of the largest and most beautiful was the display of Japa- nese block prints from Tokio. Japan. These prints were handblocked, while the colors were secured from vegetable dyes. After a short stay at the art galleries here, they went to New York. Another exhibition was sent from the Rhode Island School of Design, and comprised a clever group of draw- ings and designs by the first-year students, showing the variety and excellence of their work. The Art Tech- inques and Processes Exhibition from the Eastern Arts Association of New York was of a different type. It showed a variety of art techniques, and plainly illustrated the different steps in block printing. To students inter- ested in learning new techniques, this group was especially benencial, This exhibition was hung in Room A-202, and was arranged by Miss Esther Harrington. The majority of the art exhibitions are in charge of the art department, headed by Clayton B. Smith, while the student exhibitions are invariably under the supervi- sion of the teachers under whose direction the work was done, These departmental student exhibits, which in- clude only the most worthy pieces of work, have recently shown a marked improvement. There are several purposes in exhibiting student Work in this fashion. The first and most important purpose is that the student is able to judge his work in its iinished state, and compare it with other work. He is also able to learn and study new techniques. Second, the pupils, teachers, and school executives of all departments are given the opportunity to receive a better understanding of what the art students are doing. Aside from being advantage- ous to the student, these student displays prove highly interesting and pleasurable to all members of the school. The Providence Journal exhibition of the one hundred finest prints of the year was undoubtedly one of the most interesting displayed here. These photographs, done by Providence Journal and Evening Bulletin cameramen, were exhibited in various galleries throughout the state, ing a great deal of interest. They revealed what a highly highly capable cameraman. The prints were a group of excep- ZIIOUS' sensitive camera can produce when operated by a tionally clear and striking photographs, ranging from light, pleasant subjects to more dramatic and serious sub- jects. Although all exhibitions heretofore described were un- doubtedly outstanding, the largest, most complete, and most distinctive was the Tercentenary Exhibition of the work of Rhode Island artists, which remained in our gal- leries for three weeks. This exposition, which was in charge of Augustus F, Rose, director of the Manual Arts Department in Providence public schools, was insured for Sl2,000, and was celebrated by a tea in charge of the Home Economics Department of Central High. The exhibit featured the work of painters and crafts- men from the Providence Art Club, Rhode Island School of Design, and the department of Manual Arts in Rhode Island. Such nationally known artists as Robert H. Nis- bet, John E. Costigan, and Arthur W. Heintzelman were represented. The art department has indeed been fortunate in secur- ing some of the finest art exhibitions, and is to be con- gratulated upon its success in making the exhibitions in- teresting, not only to art students, but to students and teachers of all departments in the school. -130- Concerning Mr. William Shakespeare SOME RANDOM NOTES ON THE IMMORTAL BARD OE AVON By BARBARA STARR. 436 ' ARTICLE ' URING the Vwlorld NVar.

ARMITAGE, '36 AVE you ever stopped to realize how unfortunate we would be without a doorstep? Any kind of door- stepia front doorstep or a back doorstep. a wooden doorstep or a stone one-it doesn't matter Which. You probably say, f'Why she's crazy! What good is a doorstep other than to get out of or into the house? There, my friend, you are wrong. I will admit that on first thought a doorstep seems an insignificant thing, but if you look at it a second time you will realize that right at your doorstep lies the world. Without that door- step you would know nothing. Again you scornfully reply, Poufl I know every- thing there is to know. And can you guess where I learned it? In school-that's where I received my edu- cation. Ah, I sigh, A moment ago you said that I was crazy. Now I'm beginning to think that you're just stupid. School teaches you many things, but at certain hours of the day there rests on the top step of your door- step something that teaches you more. Perhaps you will wonder what I am leading up to in this talk about Right at Your Own Doorstep . It is nothing more mysterious than an every day occurrence. About half past four every afternoon, in many thou- sands of American homes, at least one member of the household pricks up his ears and listens for an old famil- iar thump upon the doorstep. No, it isn't one of the family returning home from school or work to tell you news, but it is something just as significant in your life. Suddenly you hear a soft bang, coming from the stoop . You hurry to the door, Hing it open, and what do you see residing in its accustomed place on the top step?-A newspaperl This is the key to the world. Perhaps this is a familiar sight on the doorstep at your home, as it is in many American homes. YS f Ah, but I haven't told you yet how a doorstep is so important that without it we would know nothing. I gasp! My goodness, what have I ever done to de- serve this? Here, in one or two pages, I have given you many clues to the importance of a doorstep but still you haven't figured it out. First, I mention that knowledge is not gained entirely in school. and secondly, I mention a newspaper on your doorstep. Why don't you work on these clues as a detective would? You give up. you say. All right-here is the answer: Along comes Johnny the paper boy, with a bundle of newspapers. He gets to your house, stops, folds the eve- ning paper, tosses it upon the doorstep, and walks away. You quickly retrieve it and take it into the house to read. You glance at the first page. The League is Undecided you read, At one glance you have seen some important news for the day and you have learned what is going on around you. The newspaper keeps you in touch with everything going on of importance. This is something that school cannot do for you in the line of knowledge. At this point you must put one and one together4a door- step and a newspaper-and then come to your own con- clusions about the matter, Therefore, I say, never forget the doorstep. Remember as you walk lightly up to the door, that here-right on your own doorstep-lies -the newspaper-a symbolic bea- con throwing light upon the modern world. A Delightful Walk I Have Taken fAwarded Honorable Mention, Anthony Medal Contestl By ELMER EDDY, '36 BOUT fifteen miles out the Plainheld Pike from Providence is a sparkling brook, running into the Scituate Reservoir. Let's take a walk along this brook until we reach the Ponagansett-North Scituate Road, which crosses it, The brook runs into the reservoir at the same place that the Plainfield Pike crosses it. Here we can see signs of a recent washout, for it was not long ago that the small pond up the stream broke its dam and came rushing down upon the old wooden bridge and carried it far out into the reservoir. It also took the road with it. There is a new stone bridge now which looks as though it could stand many such floods, but there are still many uprooted trees and a few remains of the old bridge left to remind us the power of a flood. Here at the mouth of this stream, which by the way is Cork Brook, are many pussy-willows, for it is a little swampy here, We walk quickly, for we wish to get into the woods and be surrounded by nature and her works, not the works -132- THE BLACK - - JUNE of man. The brook climbs steeply after leaving the swamp and walking is hard. The water roars down over jagged rocks. Here we stop to watch the suckers trying to fight their way up the brook to spawn. They are a huge, flabby fish which seem to get tired quickly, for they shoot ahead for a second and then rest about two minutes if they can find a resting place. Some cannot and are forced back by the rushing water farther downstream than they were before. Howeve, they seem to be bent on going up and they keep trying until they get there. The brook soon levels out and twists and turns along under shady trees. Here the trout can be seen darting away before us or leaping at some insect which is flying low over the brook. Trout are about the most beautiful fish in fresh water. They exhibit almost every conceivable color. They are continually darting to and fro and are as solid as a fish could be. Scufiing over a little dirt, We find a worm and throw it in. It disappears so quickly one would hardly believe a trout grabbed it but rather that it disappeared into thin air. All the way up the brook we see trout, suckers, salamanders, snakes, tur- AND GOLD 1936 - Q tles, and many other interesting creatures. Of course. there are flowers too. Violets, jack-in-the-pulpits, lady slippers and pond lillies are among the many. This certainly is an ideal place to come for specimens of the great outdoors. A little farther upstream we come upon a free-running pond. This is the one whose dam broke and caused the washout. Here a few pickerel may be seen lying among the weeds, waiting patiently for their prey to swim by. We can also see a few perch and roach swimming to and fro. The pond is covered with pond lilies on one side, making it look almost white. As we near the other end of the pond, we again see a school of suckers apparently resting in the still water and getting ready to go up the steep falls ahead. Soon we reached the end of our journey and turn to get a last look at the rushing waters. We note in surprise how high up we are, for we can see for miles over the reservoir, and also gaze down on the new stone bridge from which we started. Tired, but happily so, we return to the bridge just as the frogs begin croaking in the little swamp. Their cries add a delightful ending to a delightful walk.

The Isthmus of Panama A FORMER RESIDENT DESCRIBES ITS CHARM By DoR1s CoLI.1Ns, '37 ' ARTICLE ' N the streets of the cities of the Republic of Panama mingle people of many nations. China, Japan, India. Spain, South America, England, Panama, and the San Blas Islands are all represented. On the Atlantic side of the isthmus there are three cities: Ciatun, Cristobal, and Colon. Ciatun and Cristobal are a part of the Canal Zone and have commissaries, club- houses, churches, playgrounds, and swimming pools. Colon is the native city. It is an interesting place where one can spend hours exploring its different little shops, a paradise for tourists. Along the main streets are numer- ous Hindu shops where one may barter with the Hindu clerk for a beautiful hand-carved chest, or exquisite pieces of Madeira linen, Canton linen, or beautiful silk. It is enchanting to spend hours in the oriental atmosphere of these little shops. When a tourist ship is expected, the clerks bring out their odd little signs and mark exorbitant prices on them. They know that no matter how a tourist can barter with them, the clerks always have the upper hand. This is because the prices are so high in the beginning that after the clerk has so kindly reduced the price for you be- cause you are my friend, senorita, he is still making an enormous profit. On the other side of Colon is New Cristobal, a resi- dential section for the Panama Canal employees. New Cristobal is a little town of bungalows which face the beautiful Caribbean Sea. Here the government school, Cristobal High School, is situated. It is large and spaci- ous with rooms opening upon patios. On the Pacific side of the isthmus are situated Balboa, Ancon, and Panama City, the capital of the Republic of Panama. Balboa is the center for all government affairs concern- ing the Canal Zone. One may climb three hundred steps to reach the first floor of the Administration Building, and then climb about four or five hundred more to the top floor in order to view the port of Balboa at a glance. The magnificent view is worth the effort it takes. In Balboa there is a large clubhouse with a big pool, bowling alleys, and a theatre. Along Amador Road, one comes to the Balboa Radio Station, an important place in the defense of the Canal Zone in case of war. A short dis- tance from the Radio Station is Fort Amador, one of the largest posts on the Isthmus of Panama. There are many other forts and naval reservations on the isthmus. Panama City is about two miles from Balboa. At a first glance, Panama City is a dirty little place, but when one enters the shops a different opinion is soon formed. These shops are even more enchanting than those in - l Colon. Along the main streets are several hotels with patios which open on the streets. After hours of shopping, one may come here and refresh himself with a cold drink. The national beverage of the Republic of Panama is beer: this is consumed in great quantities. At dusk Panama is more enchanting than in the day- light. As you drive slowly along through the rows of palm trees and listen to the chanting of tropical birds, the cheep-cheep of the parrakeets, and the piercing scream of some jungle bird startled from his perch, you may sigh for this life. How wonderful to bask in the warm, inviting sunlight by day, and at night under a tropical moon, listen to the sweet song which the palm trees seem to whisper as they sway in the breeze. Over- head stars shine with all their brightness, and one may whisper truthfully God's in his heaven: all's well with the world, Senior Rhymes If we had cash a plenty- No debts to cramp us- We'd see that Central had A spacious campus! Teacher's cranky-pupils few- Questions flying-zeros, too- What is the matter-don't you know? On Monday morn 'tis ever so. Rock-a-bye, Senior, on the tree-top, As long as you study, the cradle will rock. But if you stop digging, the cradle will fall, And down will come Senior, diploma and all. This is the sum Of all our joys: No gym hereafter For Senior boys. Ah, to be a Senior, Is the Freshman's cry. Oh, to be a Fresh again The Senior's quick reply. Sing a song of sixpence A pocketful of rye But don't say we aren't happy That tests and drills are by! 34- THE BLACK AND GOLD - - JUNE - 1936 - - Prophecy---The Class of June 1936 CContinued from Page 94D me, Everyone was chatting away so busily and happily that none of us heard the arrival of the Wanderers who had returned to our folds from such far-off places as South America, Africa, Australia, and China. .Among the world-wide travellers we discovered Frances McGowan, Olga Simonelli, Jane Levinson, Dorothy Stafford, Ange- lina Cirillo, Ruth Reigner, Edythe Paine, Helen Reilly, Julia Lyons, and Helen Payne, who immediately began to relate to us how she accomplished the heroic act of curling the Boer's heads in S. Africa. We also were proud to greet Robert Heath, renowned explorer, and Lillian Sweet, foreign missionary. While exchanging stories of what had happened the past twenty years, the nurses and doctors had arrived and immediately we all stuck out our tongues and said, Ah. After greetings had subsided. we looked to see who had become a nurse or doctor and found the following: Mar- garet Armitage was a brain and cripple surgeon. Joseph DeLibero, Herbert Smith were doctors, while Barbara Whitehead was the owner of a large hospital in which her superintendent of nurses was Dorothy Blake, her as- sistant and her anesthesia maker, Helen Leighton, Rose Pertuso, :Mildred Oliver, Elizabeth Turner, Dorothy Heath, Lillian Grady, Delicia Pace, Barbara Bridge, Vir- ginia Fiore, Mary Maguire, Etta DelSelva, Helen Vish- noski, Eleanor McCann, and Lillian Taylor had all be- -come nurses. Also, with this group arrived Marie Smith, owner of an orphanage, and such excellent nurses as Iva Sandstrom, Doris Edwards. Helen Mattimee, Phyllis Bry- den. Natalie Lombardi, Florentina Sears, Beatrice Dolce. Helen Parfenchuck, Anna Robinson, and Pauline Molchan. 'The next party scheduled to arrive was the Presidential party from Washington which we were most anxiously awaiting. While we waited, individuals drifted in that we greeted heartily. First came Delmont Ireland, the at- torney-at-law: then Timothy Ahern, the television ex- pert: Anthony Fellela, C. C. C. forester: then Lucko Marcello, foreman in a large factory, and then Robert Holland, the railway clerk. After Robert, arriving to- gether, came the Boy Scout leader, Howard Ellis, and Joseph Ottaviano, a machinist. While these individuals joined the ever-increasing group the Presidential party arrived and all became very quiet. Although the President of our United States was married to a former classmate, he still was the greatest person in the States. However, he proved a most friendly, informal person, and his wife, Teresa Carnevole, had not changed at all. The Ex-President, Marjorie Tyring, was there and very gay. Melvyn Kelman, the defeated candidate for the Presidency, was also present, as was Lucille Graves, the Vice-President. The Presidential party included A. A. Adams, who had become King of England: Rita John- son, wife of former King Edward IX: John Fitzgerald, President of Mexico: Addison Barnes, successor to a Euro- pean Dictator: Stanley Peterson, Governor of South Caro- lina, and Amilcor Tropea, Thomas Keegan, and Mar- tin Mullaney. politicians, Theresa Angelone, Ruth Coop- er, Marion Forrester, Esther Ahrweiler, Selma Brier, Anna Testa, Harriet Loughlin, Martha Juskalian, Rosalie Izzi, and Helen Wojnar, all private secretaries to the President, were members of the Presidential party as was Helen Jos- lin, official duster at the White House. The next group to arrive was a fairly large group. You guessed itl The Married People of the Class of 1936! We discovered at this time many of our former classmates had entered upon life contracts after passing the Mr. and Mrs. course successfully. Among this group was Charles Musso who had won world acclaim as the father of quintuplets. Laura Zloty, Laura Livingston, Harold Southwell, Vincent Miller, a grandfather, Ells- worth Sullivan, Everett Chester, who had married a tem- peramental movie actress and was regretting it thoroughly: Joseph Barbara, Eleanor Davey, Kay Hodash, Eleanor Cyr, Lucille Emery, Lillian Grace, Janet Peffer, who wise- ly married a millionaire: Muriel Tufts, Mary Waszeciak, Natashka Bronovitsky, Esther Cardarelli, Nelson Saun- ders, Dorothy Walsh, Concetta Marinosci, Lena Tavar- ozzi, Matilda Iannuzzi, Esther Maccarone: Mary Turner, who married her boss: Mildred Becker, Helen Majkut, Constance Wells, a society matron: Alice Swanson, who cleverly married the boss's son: Sophie Pappas, society matron: Dorothy Waxman, who is now the wife of the movie star, Robert Taylor: Martha Savoia, Winifred Carey to Gerald Callan, Helen Reynolds, a grandmother: Dorothy Shepard, Mildred Major, a minister's wife, Olga Papitto, George Robertson, great-grandfather, Lucy Stavo- lone, Jennie Neri, and Ernest Hilton. As we all were gossiping and awaiting the next large group, which was the business group of people, several small groups entered and what a fresh outburst of con- versation was heard as each entered and joined the rapidly growing throngl We were a large class! Remember! A group of four men entered then, and we were surprised to learn that they were Alfred Capaldi, a policeman: Ken- neth Hopps, a policeman: Richard Thompson, Superin- tendent of Police Schools, and Donald Guilfoyle who had become what is commonly called a G-man , Edward McCarthy, an Army Ofhcer at West Point, laughingly identified Kenneth Hopps as the policeman who stopped him for speeding. We waved to Richard Russell, U. S. Golf Champion, and Henrietta Ferretti and Gaetano Mon- taquila, tennis champions.

What a sprightly subject that might be, Except, alas, In a Home Ec class Where, instead of fame It leads to shame. SMOKY THOUGHTS ABOUT BURNED TOAST Would you be slim? There is nothing so effective to reduce one's appetite as a plate of well burned toast for breakfast: or perhaps you would prevent a dispute. What burning topic can compete with the smoke and smell from the toaster? One can do so many things while the toast is burning. BY THEIR WORDS YE SHALL NOT KNOW THEM Miss Black on Boondoygling: Why should I be re- quested to write about boondoggling? I don't even know what it is. What is it-a disease? Miss Lowell on Movies: You want me to say some- thing bright and new about the movies? What can I say that hasn't been said already? Miss O'Donnell on Dizzy Dean: I don't know any- thing about ball players. - Miss Westcott on Popeye: Must I say something about the gentleman? Mr. Chase on Greeting Cards: I don't know anything about greeting cards. Now, if you were to ask me to say something about another subject- Mr. Grant on Ukuleles: Why mention them? OURNALISM as applied to the newspaper is the theoretical side of the newspaper publishing business. A journalist is a newspaperman out of work. A journal is a record of the business of the owner of a journal, as any good student can tell you: a newspaper, by the same token, is a record of everybody else's busi- ness. Because of the current belief in the magic of the printed words, a newspaper is thought to be an educational in- fluence. Information without evaluation, however, is not education. Education presupposes the acquiring of infor- mation that is useful to the individual in the gaining of habits or skills that enable him to be possessed with tools with which to carve out his future. There seems to be some evidence pointing to the fact that the invention of printing has been the greatest single aid in the spreading of misinformation. South American newspapers give the front page to national and international news, the second page to local news, the third page to late telegrams and cables, the fourth page to social affairs, private murders and sport- ing events, the fifth and sixth pages to miscellaneous news and advertising. American newspapers classify the sporting, women's, financial, comic, theatre, and advertising pages and re- serve the front page for sensational news mixed with events of national and international importance. The greater the amount of sensation news, the more distinc- tive the type of paper. BALLROOM MANNERS FOR MILLIONS By MR. JAMES PARKER The following hints on ballroom manners and danc- ing will be found useful for dance follow-uppers, poten- tial wallflowersz If you cannot dance at all, imitate the dancing of most Centralites, and nobody will know the difference. The count for a waltz is three, a fox-trot, four, and if you collide with a football player, the count will be ICH. Don't sing, whistle, or hum the tune the orchestra is playing and never chew gum, for the dancers always enjoy listening to the orchestra and like to know when it stops playing. The Lindy Hop can be easily mastered if one has witnessed the antics of Mexican jumping beans and Truckin is merely hop-scotch set to music. During intermission, you should make a decided ef- fort to be entertaining so that your partner will see that you have a sense of humor. fContinued on Page 1623 -136- Three Central Essays SCHOOL, TRUTH AND DENTISTS COME IN EOR CONSIDERATION ' ESSAYS ' THE ART OF REACHING SCHOOL ON TIME EACHING school on time, although I can't think of any reason why anyone should want to, is one of the lesser known arts. I might even call it a lost art. and there is no one who can prove that such is not the case. I have always looked upon punctuality in all its forms as a habit hardly worth cultivating. In some ex- treme cases it becomes an obsession and tends to affect the victim's mental balance: so inasmuch as I am not both- ered in any way by this constant rush to be on time, I can, I believe, obtain a much clearer view of the afore- mentioned art. If I should ever want to reach school on time, I would take a piece of paper and a pencil and figure the whole thing out. I would use the time that I must arrive at school Cnamely 8:00 A. M., E, S. TJ as the basis of my calculations and then make the following allowances: twenty minutes to fully wake up, stretch and yawn: ten minutes to decide what to wear and fifteen minutes to put it on: twenty minutes to eat fwhile reading the morn- ing paperj. Thirty minutes would be used to Walk from my home to school and fifteen minutes to stare in store windows en route and ten minutes for anything else that might crop up. Adding all these factors I find I must allow 120 minutes or two hours. Subtracting two from eight I have the hour of six as the time to be set on my alarm clock. After having completed my calculations, I would pro- ceed to forget about the whole matter. IRENE WHITE NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH HE annual convention of the Lazy River Liars' Club was in progress. The convention, as usual, was be- ing held in Ez Grant's General Store, and Ez, who was Second Vice-President of the Liars' Union, had done more than his bit by allowing the convention to be held in his store, besides furnishing the members with some- what comfortable boxes on which to sit, and, to top it all, a glowing fire in the antique floor stove. Each year it was the custom of these bewhiskered old cahoots to gather around the old stove in Grant's Gen- eral Store and conduct the liars' contest. The one Who in the opinion of the members told the tallest tale was selected as the champion for the ensuing year. There was a hush in the store as the old-timers stroked their beards and racked their minds for some super tall ones. The men leaned forward as Jonah Wales, the pudgy- faced champion, began his tale. Jonah had won the championship for the past three years and was beginning to regard the title as personal property. During the en- tire time in which Jonah was talking, there was nothing that interrupted him except for the one time Si Adams squirmed on his box and received a splinter for his pains. For ten minutes the champion told a tale so weird and fantastic it would have put Baron Munchausen to shame and when he had concluded, there was a burst of applause from his satisfied audience. The rest of the members. with the exception of one, admitted that there was no chance of beating Jonah's prize story. Zeke Malloy, who was the youngest member at the Liars' Union, however, and who was 53 years old come next March, stood up and said he could go Jonah one better! Then the mem- bers of the union, to a man, challenged Zeke. And these were the three words he said, I believe him! E! CLARENCE ST. JACQUES AT THE DENTIST'S OFFICE HENEVER I see workmen on the street using a pneumatic drill, my mouth automatically opens, I shudder and become aware of my abnormal gaping: whereupon I quickly snap my jaws back to their orig- inal position. You no doubt think I have a strange malady, yet it is not, at least to me. Lest you are mysti- lied as to the correct conclusions to form from the fore- going, I shall explain. There is a place, not far away where dwells a fel- low, supposedly human like myself, whose only appar- ent aim in life is to augment people's misery. In this place is a chair of distasteful appearance that strangely resembles that of a barber's. Should any of you accom- pany me on one of my visits to this place, you would hear soft spoken words of encouragement given to me, then see the dentist's arm plunge downward, driving a wickedly spinning, grinding drill further into one of my molars. With diabolical accuracy the dentist seldom fails to introduce the drill point to the nerves. As I squeeze the arms of the chair, I imagine them to the dentist's neck and this feeling helps me somewhat psychologically. You may speak of comfort, but that is an unknown factor in the environment that I have described. With cotton wads stuffed in your mouth, the dentist's arm up to the wrist in your mouth, mechanical contrivances of every description hanging in and out of your mouth, happiness is indeed far away. I have come to the conclusion, however, that the den- tist's private battles with me are for the best interests of my bicuspids so I might just as well submit to the bi- annual punishment without any words whatsoever.

It was late in December, and winter seemed to be doing its best to make life uncomfortable for aviators. It was a cold night with a stiff wind that rushed across the open runways in chill penetrating blasts. It had begun to snow by 11:00 o'clock, and the heavy, wet flakes piled in deep drifts against the hangar and sta- tion. A great steel air liner roared across the skies, twin mo- tors throbbing evenly, wing lights winking intermittently as it flashed in and out of the heavy black clouds. Far down on the ground the lighted windows showed only as faint pin points of silver. Hey, Mac, there goes the clipper. Look! The speaker was a young man of about 18 years of age, and he gazed admiringly after the great ship as it sped along above the airport. Yeh: mighty nice ship. Mac Bennett tightened his belt and squinted up into the sky. The two stood together and watched the great ship until its flickering lights faded in the murky distance. Gee, I don't remember a time when she was more than 10 minutes late, sure as clockwork. Boy, what I'd give to be up there in that cab! Take courage, fella: you'l1 do it yet, but me. I don't envy that pilot a bit. She's got a long trip in this 'soup'. Weather's getting worse, heavy clouds-snow- probably sleet later on. With a smoke and a nice warm fire I'd be perfectly content tonight. When you've run as many trips as I have, you'1l feel the same, Bob. Say, don't try to make me think you'd give up your old run, Mac. Might have to: never can tell, The boss thinks men over twenty-five are 'spliney'. My advice to you if you're aiming to be a pilot is to save your money for the day you'll become 45. Then you can say to the big boss, 'Well, Mr. King, I've decided to give up working and carrying mail. Got a little ship of my own now.' He talked rather laughingly, but Bob caught a note of earn- estness in his voice. Bob was silent looking out over the field. It was hard to think of Mac as old. Also hard to think of him as anything but a pilot. The two had been pals for over a year now, and it seemed as if they had known each other for a lifetime. Even though Bob Flint was only a ground mechanic and Mac a mail pilot, there seemed to be something that kept the two together. Perhaps it was the admiration each had for the other. Bob thought Mac about the best pilot in the aviation world. His one am- bition was to be as good an aviator as Mac. Mac, on the other hand, admired Bob for his dogged earnestness, for working on the ground all day and saving his money so that he might be able to take flying lessons some day. Mac continued, Well, here I am chattering away like a Dutch uncle. Better be getting started. Be seeing you. So long, Mac: don't get lost in the fog. It won't be foggy tonight, Mac thought as he strode over to the waiting plane. The ship was being warmed up and the motor ran noisily. After checking the mail sacks in the compartment, he climbed in. He raced the motor and listened keenly for the steady, even beat under the ear-piercing noise. Satisfied, he throttled down, and yelled HO. K, The engine roared, and the ship moved forward down the cement runway. He waved at the soli- tary figure in the light of the station door as the ship began to rise into the air, the ground streaming away be- low. He climbed to 3500 feet and leveled out. His trip was on, and he settled back for the long, lonely watch, At two o'clock the snow was as thick as ever, and the cotton-like masses piled up before the windshield obscur- ing the view completely. Mac peered forward into the gloom and wetness, but could see nothing but swirling snow. The air was bumpy and the small ship lurched crazily, but these things were not new to Mac: he had been over the route before and in just as bad weather. Death went hand in hand with aviation. Every pilot knew that, and it didn't worry them much. It wasn't death that mattered anyway: it was the mail. At least that was what Mr. King said and he ought to know: be was the boss, Mr. King had also said, What is a man's life com- pared to the United States Mail? What is a man's life, indeed? Not much when you are 45 and ready to be re- tired. Wonder what Brownie meant when he said a man like you, Mac mused. Wonder what Bob would think if I became a ground mechanic as Mr. King sug- gests. Bob would never feel the same toward me if he thought l'd quit so I'd be safe. Who wants to be safe anyway? But what can I do about it? That's the ques- CContinued on Page 1415 -140. THE BLACK AND GOLD - Q JUNE -1936 - - Qddments and Remainders By THE STAFF HEY are still talking about the surprise which a Central High school requisition for supplies gave Dr. William H. Eddy, Deputy Superintendent of Schools, some time ago. One of Dr. Eddy's many duties is a re- view of supply orders submitted by the various schools. Imagine his surprise, then, when a requisition from the science department of Central High school called for a whale's skeleton. Grasping his hat, Dr. Eddy started for Central. It seems that what was wanted was only the drawing of a whale's skeleton. Dr. Eddy left much re- lieved. --- Central's own little mystery: the explanation for the footprints on the ceiling in Room 110. Math teachers are impervious to outside suggestions. It was a Central instructor in algebra, we feel sure, who figured in this story we heard recently. The teacher said: I met your brother last night : the student said: That was my father: I have no brother. The teacher said: I am certain, if you will consider the matter carefully, you will find that it was your brother. Suggestion for a wall motto to be hung over Miss Loetzer's desk: We may live without friends, we may live without books: but civilized man cannot live with- out cooks. Then there's the story of the visitor to Central who expressed pleasure at seeing the sign Centralite Press Room outside Room 21. I think it's just fine teach- ing boys how to press and preserve their own clothes, she cooed. Intrigued with the quaint notion that it might be worthwhile to Hnd a name other than Centralite for a student who attended Central High school, members of the BLACK AND GOLD stalf instituted some months ago a private campaign to unearth a worthy substitute, Their efforts, sad to relate, were not crowned with success. Cen- traloon, Centralad and Centralassie, Centralaborer, Cen- tralackey, Centralaggard were some of the fancy cogno- mens suggested. None was accepted. The search goes on! Flight CContinued from Page 140D tion. I can say I refuse to work on the ground after running the mail, I suppose. They'd probably tell me to get out altogether then. Wonder what they think a man is going to do when he passes forty. That crack-up had lowered him in King's estimation, too. It hadn't been more than a bump, no lights on the airport, and he'd smashed some of the undercarriage in landing. The storm seemed to be getting worse instead of bet- ter. Snow couldn't be thicker. Darned if it wasn't turn- ing into sleet. A voice came fitfully over the radio, Po- sition? Visibility? Position? Well, a good guess was that he was over Trenton. He'd send that in anyway. He stared out into the grayness attempting to see down to earth, but the whirling masses of snow obliterated the earth. He looked back at the instrument board and then started forward with an exclamation. The altimeter needle! He stared unbelievingly at the dial. The needle spun crazily around, bright against the black dial. Ir couldn't bel The thing had been checked before he start- ed. He zoomed-higher and higher, but still the needle jiggled senselessly. He dove but to no avail: the needle was broken-useless-and he had no way of telling what his height was. Mac's face was gray and he strained for- ward staring tensely out into the swirling grayness. The plane swept on seemingly far from danger. Mac's thoughts were jumbled. Senseless to throttle down,-wonder where I am-must have passed the mountains long ago- mail must get through. He flew on, and it seemed to him the snow got thicker and the wind bulfeted the small ship more and more. He sat forward and strained his sight to the utmost until his head whirled and it seemed as if the world had been swallowed up in an endless void of white cotton. Then-somewhere in the distance-he saw a dark mass advancing. A hole , he thought: a chance to get out of the clouds of snow. He sped forward with a grin. The dark mass grew larger and larger. It came near swift- ly and then he knew it was not a way out. It was Mount Raven. The topmost peakl He Zoomediicy fingers clutched at the stick, but the plane only lurched dizzily and Mt. Raven rushed at him with a sickening rapidity. His plane hit with a tremendous crash and rolled down into the ravine, there to explode with great consuming flames tearing over its body. At five o'clock the snow had turned into hail. The staccato beat of it sounded on the twisted metal of the wreck that had once been an airplane. The altimeter needle spun merrily around its small round dial. -141- THE BLACK AND GOLD - - JUNE -1936 - - Prophecy---The Cl-ass of June 1936 fContinued from Page 135D The party of retired people entered just after we were asking Richard Russell what was wrong with our golf game, and among this group we noticed Harry Walden, Evelyn Lizotte, wearing a smart dress designed we hear by Helen Dymling: Arthur Walters, Alfred Pezzera, re- tired baseball star: C. Edmond Salliby, Robert Donaldson, retired Navy men, and Franklyn Reeves, retired dancer. The artists arrived at this time, and we discovered that Charlotte Wunsch was a famous magazine illustrator: Aida Muccino, a costume illustrator: Barbara Starr, a commercial artist as was John Fulton, while William Franklin had become a sports' cartoonist. While we were still waiting for the business group, it was our unfortunate duty to have to- greet Louis George and Bartolo Chiappinelli, who were still trying to gradu- ate from Central. We wished them luck, of course. While all stood around with genuine tears in their eyes, William Zinno, Joseph Zinno, and Marjorie Beede entered the room, still wondering what they were going to do for a career. Bernard Engel also entered, and expressed the wish that he had been remembered in Central. Then four girls entered-the only four people who had become librarians in the whole class. The four girls were Doris Stephens, Anne DiPietro, Santina Renola, and Maybritt Anderson. All stated that they enjoyed their work tre- mendously. As I glanced around the room to see if any others had entered unnoticed, I noticed five very portly and successful looking men standing near the main en- trance with two bejeweled ladies, I immediately went over to greet themuand discovered the ive men were John Hogan, Raymond Eckersley, Vincent Colagiovanni, Ed- win Perkins, and Morris Sweet, the millionaires, while the two women were Angelina Cerini and Julia Jackson, the millionairesses. At this time my committee was growing impatient. Where was the business group? The largest group had not arrived yet, but no, we were mistaken, for this must be them now. The largest party yet had arrived, includ- ing bankers, secretaries, bookkeepers, accountants. owners of nrms, typists, auditors, and salesmen, of both sexes. As they entered the room I recognized many, many fa- miliar faces that brought back pleasant memories. Among this group was Angela Sormanti, Mildred Leach, Loretta I-Ieroux, Michael Scampoli, I-Iarold Shoesmith, Valia Cari- selli, Carole Pennachia. Augustina Giardina, Angelina Al- banese, Joseph Bova, Dorothy Lynch, Mary Greene. Fran- ces Del Sesto, Joseph Salem, Pauline Tillinghast. Elsie Votolato, Harry Brandt, Victoria Vacca, Ursula Turcott.

After seeing this large group of people all at once, it was little wonder that the twelve men entering on their heels were overlooked for a moment. But as soon as we realized they were there. there was a general rush. Al- though a small group, it was a particularly distinguished group of engineers of all sorts and kinds. Albert Sermon had become a Diesel engineer and had recently designed the motor of an outstanding dirigible that Russell Adams, the aeronautical engineer. had designed in cooperation with Joseph Mauro, another aeronautical engineer. Alexander Belida. Frank Lembo, and James Degnan had all become civil engineers, specializing in bridge construction. Wil- liam Lupo and Michael Perrotta were now highly capable chemical engineers, while Joseph Eannarino and Louis Malacane were radio and television engineers. Domeni: D'Agostino had become an electrical engineer while Al- phonse Mauro was a chemical engineer. While it was interesting to hear these former Centralites modestly talk about their engineering feats, I could not devote much time to them as at this moment some girls had entered,- the girls of our class who had become costume designers. While Virginia Beesley, Mary Pilotti, Laura Russo. Flora Andreozzi, Edith Lapham, Filomena De Lucia, Isabelle Colagiovanni, and Dorothy Armitage, Hollywood design- er, created lovely things for other women to wear, Irene Gilardi and Anna Manna were actually sewing and mak- ing dresses. All of these girls were attractively dressed, CContinued on Page 1451 -142. CENTRHL BLPHHBET C KN if SS -- G I 4 xxx? UA ENTRPU Xf 2 O Rh VVS 'ver CW .

Gerald was clever, and much of his spare time was spent in amateur detective work. Now that there was a mystery to be solved, he had a chance to show his ability. As he approached the school, he went quickly over the events of the day. Mr. Wayland, the principal, had asked him to report to his office at the close of school. Arriv- ing there, he had found Miss Stolworthy, the biology teacher, Gail Murphy, secretary of the senior class, and Mr. Wayland, conversing. After greeting Gerald, the principal informed them that he and Miss Stolworthy had a problem which he hoped they could help solve. He then asked the biology teacher to explain what was puzzling them. To be brief, said Miss Stolworthy, bones which we are using in our laboratory are lessening in number each night. Mr. Wayland and I would like to know where they are going. We are willing to help in any way possible, spoke Gerald, but how can we? The principal paused thoughtfully before replying. Then he said, Gerald, we want you and Gail to keep your ears open for the next couple of days, and see if you can hear of anything which might throw some light on the case. If not, I'll ask you to call a meeting of the senior class, and we'll take some other mode of proced- ure. There had followed a discussion of possible solutions, and Gerald turned these over in his mind as he walked along. He was awakened from his musings by a light flashing on the second floor of the school. Ha ha, I'll catch the person in the act, murmured Gerald. as he made his way to the janitor's entrance and into the school. 'AI won't bother the janitor. I'll keep right on to the second floor, he mused. The interior of the school looked strange in the dark. The locker shadows took on gigantic shapes. and in the stillness he could hear his footsteps echo. While ascending the stairs, he heard someone run softly across the hall. He stopped to listen, and was startled to see something white flutter by, touching his cheek lightly as it fell. Stooping. he picked it up. What a Sherlock Holmes I'd make, frightened by such a thing as a handkerchief: but I wonder where it came from. If I were Sherlock Holmes, I'd call Wat- son. Say! that's what I need-an assistant-I know just the one! Cautiously he made his way through the hall and entered a small room adjacent to the biology laboratory. Going to the corner, he opened the closed door, reached into the inky blackness, and touched an object that caused him to shudder. When he drew it forth, the light rays from the street lamp disclosed a human skeleton. From his pocket, Gerald took string, flashlight, and other things that boys carry in their pockets, and proceeded to add them to the skeleton. After several attempts, he finally adjusted the flashlight in the skull of the skeleton, and, opening the door, he went into the biology room. The door automatically 'closed behind him, leaving him in a sort of darkened alcove. Hardly had he said, Well, I'm alone. That's a help, when the door from the hall began to open slowly. With muscles taut, he waited as someone stealthily crossed the room, counting each desk as he passed it. A book fell from one of the desks with a resounding bang, and everything became still. Then the walking began again. A drawer was opened, and there the sound of rattling bones could be heard. Quick Watson! said Gerald as he turned on the flashlight. There was a terrifying scream, someone brushed by Gerald, and the room suddenly became flooded with light, In the room stood four very bewil- dered people: Miss Stolworthy and Gail, who were standing near the light switch, Gerald, and Charles Grimes. All were stricken speechless by surprise. The silence was broken by Mr. Wayland, who came hurry- ing into the room. What's going on here? Who screamed? Gerald, Gail, what are you doing here? exclaimed Mr. Wayland. Gerald was the first to find voice to answer Mr. Way- land's questions. I don't know why the rest of you are here, sir, but I found myself unable to wait to see how the case would make out, so I came to do some private investigating. Miss Stolworthy spoke up. I came for the same rea- son, only I asked Gail to accompany me. We were up here a little while when we had some trouble with our flashlight: it flickered and went out. Oh, that's the light I saw from the street. Gerald replied. It was not long after, continued Miss Stolworthy, that we heard someone coming up the stairs: we ran into the laboratory and behind the screen so as not to be seen. While we were running, Gail dropped her hand- kerchief over the bannisterf' 'iHere's your handkerchief, Gail. I confess it startled me when it came fluttering down, asserted Gerald. -144- THE BLACK - f JUNE I had to return to the school for some papers that I had forgotten. said Mr. Wayland. I heard the scream and came up. Who did scream? It was I who screamed, said Gail. The rattling of the bones, and that gruesome illumination, broke my nerve. Did you rattle the bones, Gerald? No, I-I did. The group turned to Charles Grimes, whom they had forgotten during their conversation. I've been taking the bones, but I didn't think that you'd miss them. Why, Charlesl You don't take much of an interest in biology: what made you take them? Miss Stolworthy said. AND GOLD I936 . . I'm carving a miniature skeleton of wood, and I was using these as models. I didn't want to ask you for them because some of the fellows might think I was foolish, so I came for them nights. I was going to give it to you when I finished. Miss Stolworthy was a teacher who had the problems of her pupils at heart. so she promptly forgave him. What's the skeleton doing out of the closet? asked Gail. Why, that's Mr. Watson, my assistant, proudly explained Gerald. Prophecy---The Class of June 1936 fContinued from Page 142D proving their vocation. Their hair was also very Well dressed, and upon questioning them, we discovered that they had gone to one of the many beauty parlors in Provi- dence operated by former classmates such as Dorothy Car- roll, Esther Malin, Margaret Hanrahan, Lillian Hertel, Ouida Taylor, Marion Winpenny, Frances Sarenson, and Ruth Gomberg. We also discovered that Dorothy Davey, Ruth Walden, Hilda Edelman, and Carl Krekorian owned large beauty shops all over the United States. In the particular group where I was, the talk naturally turned to our teachers and that, in turn, brought up the question as to what people had become teachers. Quite by coincidence, of course, just as we were discussing this question, a fairly large gathering of ladies and gentlemen came in-teachers, of course. Some were at Central. Others were teaching in other schools throughout the states. We were rather surprised at some of the people who had become teachers, but never mind that! Among the school teachers was Helen Sullivan, Sarah Hagopian, Gilda Olivieu, Grace Hand, Antonetta Piccolantonia, Mary Campanelli, Helen Donahue, Frances Scott, Donald Guiragos, Peter Bricker, Beatrice Fleming, Roderick Dare- lius, Nina Collins, Matilda Librandi Mario Macaruso, Blanche Nobile, Angela Hackett, and Anna Lech. Among the physical and gym instructors were Americo Damiano, Raymond Monaco, Carlo Rainone, Elean Chapman, and Rose Fitzgerald. Vincent Meola was a baseball coach: Mario Mignanelli, golf pro, and Armando Masello, col- lege football coach. Henry Hassell had become a manual arts teacher while Arline Wood was a piano teacher as was Amelia Comella. Doris I-Iorgan was now a dancing instructor. By this time, practically every member of our graduate class of '36 had arrived, although I had not seen every one of them as yet. However, it was time for luncheon, and although we all were so excited food was, for the moment, the farthest thing in our mind, we decided to call a halt to the general reunion and announce the next hour and a half as being time for luncheon before we set out to the races, our next destination. No plans had been made for a mass luncheon at the hotel. It was up to the individual to lunch where he wished to. At two, however, we all were to meet in the large ballroom of the Hotel Imperial and proceed in immense planes to the races at Webster Park, the beautiful new race track that had replaced the ancient Narragansett Park. In relating the events of my class on the day of their reunion, I am going to omit luncheon and proceed with what happened at the races. I was very glad of the op- portunity to be with my former classmates again before the banquet in the evening because there were a number of people yet that I had not seen and was so anxious to see. In fact, I think everyone felt the same way. Every time we turned around, we'd be sure to see a new face that we'd missed, and it was a thrill. I rather think we had more fun craning our necks hither and yon, guessf ing people, than we had watching the horses. By the way, several classmates had become horse trainers and owners and among them were Emidio Leccese, Genevieve Bessette, Haig Bohigian, Thomas Conley, and Donald Robinson. We had the good fortune of receiving some rather good tips that afternoon-for a change. While at the races, I was glad to see Eva Quist, our former vice-president, Who had become, I learned, a host- ess in a submarine of the U. S. Navy that was one of a fleet being used for transportation. My goodness, yes! By this time, planes had become rather old-fashioned. I also saw an old friend, Margaret Donovan, who told me she was now head of the K. A. O. office at Central High School. Seymour Sherman and Gerald Baker had gone into the poultry raising business together and were quite CContinued on Page 1505 -145- A Glance at the Not Too Distant Past HIGH SPOTS IN THE FOUR YEARS OP CENTRAL LIFE ' ARTICLE ' September ll, 1933-Union of Technical High and Commercial to form the new Central High School.

February 17, 1934-The Principal called the attention of the entire school to the very fine record achieved by the Central High School Swimming Team at the Braman Pool. In particular, con- gratulations are due, he said, to Matthew Chros- towski, John Higgins, Ray Lacombe, and the relay team. Matthew Chrostowski broke the National Inter- scholastic record for the 100-yard free style swim in the fast time of 53 BIX5 seconds. This lowers the old record by 4f5 of a second. He also won the 200-yard free style swim. Johnny Higgins won the 100-yard breast stroke, took second to Chrostowski in the 200-yard free style and swam anchor on the winning relay. Ray Lacombe won the dives with the score of 88.1 points to 67.6 points for his nearest competitor.

'3 7 -147- T O ORIGINAL MYTHS JUST TO PROVE THAT ALL GOOD MYTHS AREN'T IN 'ATHE AGE OF FABLEH + FICTION ' How Equistus Became a Dragon NCE upon a time there lived a king called Periandus who was so just and kind that all his subjects loved him. After the death of his lovely wife at the birth of their son, King Periandus became very sad and lonely. He knew that soon he would die and his son, Equistus. would become king. He wanted Equistus to be good and kind to his people. but he wanted someone to look over him as his own mother would have done. One night, as he was alone in his room, praying to the Goddess of Mothers. Materna, a beautiful lady sud- denly appeared before him: her long dress was white as snow, and she had a crown of white roses upon her head. The good King was very much surprised to see her, but he told her of his troubles. She promised him that she would take care of his son and give him good advice, scold him for his faults, and punish him if he would not correct himself. The King was satisfied with this promise, and very soon afterwards died. Equistus grew up to be a young man, handsome and gentle, but sometimes he forgot himself and would act in a manner quite unlike a king. One day, when the Prince was walking about, he saw a young girl who was so very pretty that he made up his mind at once that he would marry her. Her name was Beata. He asked her to marry him, but she refused because she was only a poor girl and he would only scorn her later. Equistus became angry and commanded his officers to make Beata a prisoner. Still he could not get her beauty out of his mind. Beata still refused to marry the Prince. Equistus was not used to being refused even a simple re- quest, so ordered her head cut off as an example to others who might refuse him. Materna appeared when he gave this order and said sternly, I promised your father to give you good advice, and to punish you if you refused to follow it. l condemn you to resemble the animal whose ways you have imitated. Materna touched him. Lo! He was transformed into a dragon. ANTONETTA TRAVERSA, '37 How the Oak Tree Was Made PERSA, a beautiful daughter of Amora, and her fa- mous warriors were holding a weird festival in the woods. Torches were gleaming and low chanting could be heard, for Persa was to be made a life-long member of the tribe. She had already shown her skill in archery, fighting, and other feats in which all women Warriors excel. Persa was watching the fire in the center of the group. Across the top of the red coals lay a knife gleam- ing white-hot, ready to carve a symbol in her White flesh. As the chanting grew louder and fiercer, Persa grew fright- ened. Not so much that she would lose Hersus her lover, as no warriors ever married, but the ever-growing fear of that hot white knife. How could she keep from cry- ing out when her flesh would be burnt so harshly by her own mother? A few minutes later her stern-faced mother took up the knife and said, Come, my daughter. Her voice rang through Persa's ears and left her trembling, Persa had never wanted to be a warrior anyway. She slowly approached her mother, her face lifted and her eyes closed. It wouldn't hurt quite so much that way. The heat of the steel could be felt even as far away from it as she stood. She dropped down upon her knees and cried bro- kenly, Please don't put that on me. I'm afraid! Afraid! Do you hear! Her mother put the knife down slowly and said coldly, To think you have shamed me sol You are not good enough to go back to your lover unpunished. Some day you will repent your wrong doings. She raised her hand, spoke a few words and Persa was changed into a young oak tree. You will live through the centuries, her mother said. And lovers will carve their names on you. Amora turned to lead her warriors away, and the tree stood in the dying light of the fire, its leaves still trem- bling. BARBARA TINKHAM.

Alyce Beaton, the vet- erinary and professional dog breeder, was at the track, accompanied by two thorough-breds from her kennels. As I glanced around me, I noticed a nun near, and when she turned, was happily surprised to see Rita Doyle. Standing beside her was Fannie Malachowsky, the antique collector, while just behind Fannie, was none other than John Palazzi, former class treasurer, now a slightly stout road building contractor. Walking up and down, not watching the races, was Kenneth Longwill, who had achieved a life-long ambition when he was asked by one of our society matrons to walk her two dogs as she had bunions. Jumping up and down, and screaming to Puddle-jumper , the favorite, with the most perfect enunciation possible, was none other than our friend, Rose Sitting in the who was now Lazarus, who was now a great orator. same row with Rose, was Albert Sydney, the president of the Eastman Kodak Co., and next to him was John Szelka, the photographer. I had decided to watch the horses for a change when I overheard the words Htemperamental star and, oh, quite nonchalantly glanced around me. There of five men and women, and four of them were perhaps four of the most noted people in the States. I am refer- ring to Emma Berger who was now a film-producer for M-G-M: Mary Dolan, the talented director of films: Ethel McCutcheon, the Greta Garbo of 1956: Leo Zuckerberg, Clark Gable. Jr., and Irene Dunn's maid. As I stood talking to Edythe Landry, who a public speaker of some note, I was very see the great crowds suddenly start to dis- perse. The races were over for the afternoon, and I had perhaps seen a bit of one now and then, but one can at- tend the races any afternoon while one can't see old friends any afternoon. I rushed back to my party, gathered the committee, and asked if everything were all set for the banquet at the hotel that evening. On being assured it Was, I hurried home to dress and from there to the hotel. It was, of course, far too early for the others to arrive, although some of them had registered at the hotel and so were ready some time sooner than the others. When I arrived, a group of six or seven were wandering aim- lessly about the place whom I had not seen previously. Among these people I was delighted to see Rubye Oakland who had naturally become one of our foremost Metro- politan Opera divas. Albina Dupre, the toe dancer, had also arrived early as had Michael Iancono. the concert stood a group Ada Covill. had become surprised to violinist. After the last course was served, the inevitable speeches had been planned and we had been fortunate in persuad- ing Dr. T. Franklin Walsh, our former principal, to at- tend the banquet and, of course, make a speech. When he finished, there was a moment's silence as the full im- port of his welcoming speech spread, and then a tremend- ous roar filled the room as we applauded. After Dr. Walsh, there were a number of other speakers, a few of whom were Frances Badway, the opera singer: Joseph Mason, our former president, and Gaetano Caforio, the great violinist. We closed the banquet by singing an old favorite no one had forgotten, Dear Central, accom- panied by Ralph Latina's orchestra. We were now ready for the rest of the evening which We intended to enjoy as we never enjoyed a party before. As we retreated to the immense ballroom of the Hotel Imperial we could hear strains of music from Shirley Nel- son's orchestra, which, with Ralph Latina's, had been hired for the occasion. After we had all entered and seated ourselves in amazingly comfortable chairs placed about the edge of the floor, Raymond Shepard, the mas- ter of ceremonies of the floor show we were about to witness, entered. After making an appropriate introduc- tory speech, he introduced the first number which was to be a dance by those two famous dancers, Clara De Cesare and Pasco Coppola. After him came a group of attractive girls who had been trained to dance under the supervision of Filomena Mancini and Margaret Cali- guiri. I neglected to mention that these girls were under special contract to Daniel D'Anella, who owned a night club. While the girls danced, Carlo Trobucco, the croon- er, sang with Mildred Conca a song about the moon and stars and-oh, well, you know it as well as I do. Then came an uplifting solo by Jacob Berman, the Russian dancer, and then another solo by Russel LeBer, the French Horn player, closing the program, which we had all en- joyed thoroughly. The rest of the evening was for danc- ing to be supplied by two orchestras in the two main ballrooms of the hotel. Oh, by the way. Shirley Nelson and Ralph Latina are not the only people who have or- chestras of their own. Alice Hultquist, Phyllis Stone. Mario Pucola, Elizabeth Morse, Beatrice Taplitsky, Marie Denish, and Robert Taylor all have famous orchestras of which they are very proud. Our class has also con- tributed to the musical world such talented voices as Louise Whytock's, Beatrice Savickis', Florence Bramble, and Jane DeRoin. A fresh burst of laughter brought my attention back to the present, and as I glanced about me, at a scene that just couldn't be gayer or happier, I felt it had been worth it. People everywhere were either chatting away merrily, dancing dreamily, or just sitting with a contented look in their eyes. A perfectly splendid day was nearing its close, but the memory of the reunion of the class of June, 1936, will remain in our hearts forever. -150. Central Plays Part in Tercentenary ' ARTICLE ' ENTRAL High School continues to play a more or less prominent role in the festivities connected with the observance of the 300th anniversary of the founding of Rhode Island. Members of the faculty and students have already shared actively in a number of Tercentenary endeavors. The February, I936 issue of the BLACK AND GOLD was dedicated To the Ideals of Roger Williams- Faith, Freedom, Love, Tolerance--embracing all that is fine and true. Central High school's year-book thus was the first Rhode Island publication to take cognizance of the States 300th birthday in the Tercentennial year. The book included several drawings of Roger Williams and a number of stories, poems and articles with a Colonial background. Dr. Walsh in the foreword of that book wrote, lt is fitting that the BLACK AND GOLD be dedi- cated to the ideals of Roger Williams, thus putting into definite form the desire of our student body to play its part in the tercentennial celebration of this historic event, Dr. Walsh also paid a splendid tribute to Roger Williams and his soul-liberty in a message to students which was published in the Centralite. Mrs. Alice Collins Gleeson of the Department of So- cial Studies was given a year's leave of absence in Sep- tember to represent the school department in municipal and state projects centering about the tercentenary cele- bration of the founding of These Plantations. Mrs. Glee- son has already edited a series of Tercentenary Leaflets regularly distributed in schoolrooms throughout the Providence system. Mrs. Gleeson also acted as secretary of the committee of Providence teachers which pub- lished the Handbook of Historical Sites. and wrote the original manuscript for that publication. In addition, Mrs. Gleeson has lectured on Rhode Island history ex- tensively this year. The remainder of the year should find her busily engaged in a score or more endeavors per- taining to the Rhode Island Tercentennial. The Department of Art of Central High School has performed several valuable services to date. The November calendar issued by the Providence School Department was illustrated by Esther Greenberg, a Central student. Two other calendar illustrations were also drawn. Several of the art classes have held exhibits relating to the Ter- centenary. Exhibitions of early American handwork, silverware, carving, fans, dolls, etc. evoked much inter- est. ln one class, a comparison of clothing Worn in Colo- nial times and that designed by members of the class was held. Mr. Clayton B. Smith, Head of the Department of Art, supervised the production of an elaborate pictorial map which was published in the 'iHandbook of Histor- ical Sites in Rhode Island. The Department of Art has also sponsored several exhibitions in its new galleries of Rhode Island artists. Drawn by George Avakian Mr. Elmer R. Smith, Head of the Department of Eng- lish, P. M., is writing a series of Tercentenary features for the Providence Sunday Journal, including Ye Little Rhody Almanack, which is published monthly. Mr. Frank Jones, member of the Department of Eng- lish, is giving a series of half-hour radio talks of famous Rhode Island writers over WPRO each Sunday afternoon as a Tercentenary feature of that broadcasting station. The entire Home Economics Department joined forces to present a successful Tercentenary project for the May 21 meeting of the Central P. T. A. Old recipes tested in class were placed in a souvenir booklet and the foods prepared by girls in Home Economics were served by them to the P. T. A. members. The girls were dressed in Colonial costumes. The Centralite issued a special Tercentenary edition on May 28th. This edition contained a variety of features in celebration of Little Rhody's 300th birthday. In a number of home rooms teachers made efforts to give an historical flavor to the activities normally con- ducted in those short periods. Early in the year the film Colonial Rhode Island was shown to students in the auditorium. The film was interpreted by Mrs. Gleeson. Special interest attached to the showing, since the film was made in Providence by a group of elementary school students. Mrs, Gleeson also lectured during the year to several of the classes in art on Colonial architecture. Slides of historic Providence buildings were shown. CContinued on Page 1575 15 l - THE BLACK AND GOLD ' - JUNE - 1936 f f THREE CENTRAL ESSAYS Corners H corner is the place where two lines intersect, says Webster. A corner to me, however, is much more significant than that. Around that next corner may be a dear friend whom you have not seen for quite a while. A mere corner then becomes a real aid to friendship. Alas, also around that next corner may be a bill collector who has a little matter to settle with you. Then you may wish there weren't any corners, On the whole though, most corners are pleasant places. You arrange usually to meet all friends at appointed times on corners. Many of the world's sore problems are solved on corners. Listen casually to that group of men chatting idly in the sun on any corner. The chances are nine to one that they are discussing the baseball situation or arranging for their own satisfaction a fool-proof solu- tion to the problem of international peace. Corners are nice places on which to stand when a parade is going by: you can see the marchers pivot around the corner in full sight. You may even, if you wish, give a few tentative thumps yourself to the bass drum as it glides past you. Going around a corner, you may see someone with whom you don't wish to converse. Then the corner be- comes a real help: you can duck back around the corner until he goes by. Corners are famous historically, too. Many presidents. governors and mayors have dedicated squares and corner- stones, making them so. If you live on a corner, you are at a disadvantage in only one particular: you have twice as much snow to shovel. All in all, corners are really nice places. I like them. RICHARD LANDRY, '38 Telephones HEN Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, little did he realize that this instrument of magic might become an instrument of torture, You can hear its shrill voice as distinctly at midnight as in the middle of the day. Can you remember those times when your bliss- ful slumber has been rudely interrupted by that insistent telephone? Can you remember sleepily arguing with a voice at the the other end who sharply demanded a party by the name of Henry Byrnes? Have you ever spent twenty minutes giving a grocery order over the telephone, only to discover at the end of that time that you had the wrong number. Yes, if Mr. Bell could have seen into the future, perhaps he would have labored to perfect for the world a telephone that was fool-proof. But don't think too harshly of the telephone, for it can also be an implement of mercy. When someone is sick in a lonely farmhouse, hundreds of miles from no- where, it is that prim, little lady dressed in black, the telephone, that comes to the rescue. There are telephones and telephones: the brusque, ef- ficient one of a business office, the smooth, white French telephone of a luxurious home. There are quiet tele- phones, noisy ones, small ones, large ones, plain ones, dial ones, but there is no telephone so mischievous as mine. I could spend hours telling of the pranks she plays on her unsuspecting victims. To me the telephone has always represented the mys- terious, the unexpected. No matter how many times a day I hear its voice ring out I always experience a new thrill. Perhaps the next call will affect my entire life. To every person in the world the telephone means some- thing different, but to me it is a fast, sure-footed mes- senger that the world could not get along without. IRENE MARGoL1s. '38 Watches U watch may be the most commonplace thing in the world and yet the.most important. One of the world's famous authors spoke thus of a watch many years ago. Whether it is large or small, costly or cheap, it is an important worldly possession. The small round watch which the lovely debutante wears upon her wrist keeps her on time for her social functions. The large pocket watch that is kept in the vest pocket of the foreman tells the time for the laborers to start as well as stop their work. Then too on the wall of a long, dreary corridor within the state prison, a huge clock hangs. As the seconds, minutes, and hours tick away, prisoners lie on their cots waiting for the hands to reach the hour which will mean either freedom, a long life in prison, or death. It seems utterly impossible that a mere clock suspended from the wall could bring such a decision of fate. Yet, it is true. The minute hand and the hour hand are the feet of time: and as time slowly walks forward, either happiness or sorrow is brought to someone. MARY BROWN, '38 -152- lllll!

Diana, the beautiful wood-nymph, was dancing merrily in her woodland glade, when suddenly a thorn in a nearby rosebush caught in her filmy tunic. In about one second, a large rip appeared. Diana went to the spinster, the spider, and knocked on its door. Will you please sew my tunic for me? she asked. A'Don't bother me, cried the spider, I have just settled down for the winter. Diana did not worry, how- ever, for the weather was still warm, It was the latter part of fall. Diana was shivering. Her tunic was still ripped, and she had no needle with which to sew it. She had stolen some spidery strands of thread from the spinster, but could not sew without a needle. She finally went to the trees in her glade and asked each of them for a needle. None had any. Diana became so furious that she said, Each of you trees who refuses to give me a needle shall lose your leaves in the winter. You, too, shall be cold, just as I am! Just then she heard a tree in the edge of the glade rustling. She turned quickly and saw that it was a pine- tree. Have you a needle for me? Diana asked furi- ously. Yes, I have, said the pine-tree. Help yourself. Upon hearing this, Diana Was overjoyed. Quickly she took a needle off the pine-tree and sewed the tear in her tunic. You, pine-tree, she said, shall keep your needles in the winter, and shall supply me with needles whenever I need them. The pine-tree nodded in grateful acknowl- edgment.

Central Plays Part in Tercentenary CContinued f The music forces of Central High school also con- tributed their talents to the Tercentennial festivities in the city. Ree's Ensemble, the Central chorus, the band and the orchestra participated in a concert given in the school auditorium on May 16 as part of the festivities con- nected with Music Week. The Central band gave a half- hour broadcast over WPRO on May 7, and the Boys Glee Club broadcast over the same station on June 11. With the opening of school in September, it is ex- pected that Central High school will play an even greater part in the festivities incident to the Rhode Island Ter- centenary. Delegates from Central High School attended the first of the many Tercentenary events at the State House on May 4, Rhode Island Independence Day. Students from each Central home room were present, While the faculty was also represented. The first event of our history-making birthday year was the oflicial revocation of the ban placed on Roger Williams in 1636. Three faiths were represented during the proceedings. The Very Reverend Lorenzo C. McCarthy, O. P., presi- dent of Providence College and chairman of the Rhode Island Tercentenary Commission, presided. The Reverend Arthur W. Cleaves, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist Photographs on opposite page by I lack Dawson, '37 and Ernest Strauss, '36 ' IO mPage 1511 Church, the most historical edifice in Rhode Island, de- livered the invocation. The Right Reverend Granville Gaylord Bennett. D. D., auxiliary bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island, pronounced the bene- diction. A band concert in which were two Rhode Island songs, one written especially for the occasion. preceded the open- ing ceremonies. The Providence Festival Chorus of 300 voices sang the 'iStar Spangled Banner and America The members of the graduating class of Rhode Island College of Education were present in cap and gown. After his welcome, Father McCarthy spoke to a large audience which included a number of Narragansett In- dians. After his speech, Governor James A. Curley read the official revocation of the degree of exile against Roger Williams ordered by Massachusetts 300 years ago as fol- lows: Resolved: That the sentence of expulsion passed against Roger Williams by the General Court of the Mas- sachusetts Bay Colony in the year 1635 be and is hereby revoked. He then placed the official document of absolution of the decree in the hands of Governor Theodore Francis Green. MADELINE VIGNEAU. '37 57 Kane-How did you know? served?

' Kane-It would have been easy for you to have taken ir, wou1dn't it? C. Dimley-Perhaps. But I wouldn't. Kane-Why? C. Dimley-In the first place, I don't need to. And John is my best friend. Kane-But you had the opportunity? C. Dimley CAngrilyj-If you think I took that ring, you're crazy! Kane QLooks at him a momentj-Maybe I am. That's all now. Will you send Mr. Cray in, please.

Cray-Well, we were all dancing as you probably know, when John burst in and wanted to know if any of us had seen the ring. Then I suggested that we all search for it. Everybody with the exception of Mr. and Mrs. Clair looked for it. They remained here. Nobody found the ring, so Mary called you in on the case. The rest you know. Kane-Do you suspect anyone of committing the rob- bery? Cray-No I think not. Kane-Can you see why? Cray-Well, no one would need to in the first place, and I can think of no other reason. Kane--Has anyone left the house since dinner was Cray-Not that I know of. Well I'll take that back. Charles Dimley did go out to look in John's car to see if the ring had been left there. Kane-You know of no one else who left? Cray-No one else. Kane-That is all then. Will you send Miss Oren in? fCray leaves, Miss Oren enters. She is somewhat ner- vous about the interview and holds a handkerchief in her hands throughout, twisting it slightly from time to time about her tingersj Kane-Be seated please. Miss Oren-Thank you. Kane-I already know the story of what happened early this evening, and I am going to ask you to tell me if you know anything which might lead you to be sus- picious of anyone present.

Then Charles answered angrily, I tell you I'll get it yet, Ed. After that I moved away so they wouldn't see me. Kane-What time was this? Miss Oren-I've forgotten what time it was, but it was shortly after dinner. Kane-Before the loss of the ring was discovered? Miss Oren-Why, yes-at least a while before that. Kane-Was there anything else? Miss Oren-Not that I can think of. Kane-Thank you very much, Miss Oren. Will you please send Edward Dimley in? CDimley enters. He is nervous and thin. He glances about the room quickly. His hands are in constant ner- vous motion. Kane watches him a moment before speak- ingj Kane-Now, Mr. Dimley, please tell me, in your own words, the story as far as you know it. E. Dimley-Well. there isn't much to tell. You al- ready know the facts leading up to now. We were all dancing when John came in and wanted to know if we had seen a ring. None of us had. We looked about a few minutes and came back. Then Mary called you in. That's all I know. Kane-Did you notice anything peculiar about Mr. Dell? E. Dimley-Yes. He seemed to be nervous, uncom- fortable. fContinued on Page 1605 -158- Q Celltpql .

CKane studies him quietly a momentj Kane--Did you and your brother have any argument tonight? E. Dimley-No, of course not. fKane sits up as he concludes the interviewj Kane-I guess that is all.

I think you may be able to help me. fMr. Clair sits and Kane resumes his chairj Kane-First, do you know whether any had feeling exists between any people here at the dinner tonight? Mr. Clair CSlowlyj -Yes, there is a little bad feeling, I believe. I have seen it growing, and I've been sorry. John Dell and Charles Dimley were, at one time, the closest of friends. Lately, though, Charles has been grow- ing more and more jealous of John's success in his suit with my daughter. Kane-I'm sorry to hear that. I know that they were friends. Is there any other bad feeling that you know of? Mr. Clair-I believe there is. Charles' brother, Edward Dimley, has never liked John Dell. Edward has an un- fortunate disposition. He has always been jealous of any- one whom his brother liked very much, and in high school and college he took a strong dislike to nearly all the friends his brother Charles made. I think, too, he has been jealous of John's success in business. His own work, you know, in the insurance business has not been very successful? Kane-This is very interesting, Mr. Clair. I am very grateful for your frank statements. Now tell me: do you think either of these two people could have stolen Dell's ring? Mr. Clair-I don't know, Sergeant. The same thought has been in my mind for several reasons. I should dislike to think that either of them would plan to steal anything. They are both fine boys, although each has his faults. Kane-I wonder if you would ask Mrs. Clair to come in to talk to us. Mr. Clair CRisingH-Certainly. CHe goes to the door and lets Mrs. Clair in, taking her to the chair near the desk. Kane rises.j Mrs. Clair-Can I be of assistance, Sergeant Kane? Mr. Kane-I hope so, Mrs. Clair. I have found out sev- eral things that will be of help to me, and I need to know just one thing more, So far as I can learn, only one person has left the house since they all came to dinner. That person is Charles Dimley, who went out to Mr. Dell's car to search for the ring. CKane leans forward and looks intently at Mrs. Clair.D Now, Mrs. Clair, do you know of anyone else who may have left before, during, or after dinner? Mrs. Clair-I don't recall having seen anyone leave. but some one may have gone. CPauses thoughtfullyj How silly of me. Of course, I know. I asked one of the men to go out to my car and get my wrap. It was Edward Dimley who went. fKane strikes the desk softly with his hstj Kane-Fine, it couldn't be better. I'm not sure, but I have a hunch that I am very close to a solution of the difficulty. CKane goes to the door, opens it, and speaks.j Kane-Will you all come in, please? CKane walks back behind the desk and stands with his extended fingers resting on the edge of the desk. Everyone enters. They stand about the room looking a little nervously at one another. Kane glances over the group a moment before he speaksj Kane-There is just one more question I need to ask before the case is cleared, I hope. Mr. Dell, when you reached for the box containing the ring, in what pocket did you expect to find it? John-In my vest pocket. Kane-Are you sure? John-Why, yes-no, of course not. I remember now. I stopped in the hall when I took off my top coat and took it out of my side pocket because it made a lump. I put it in my vest pocket but found some papers and made it show even more. I put the box on the table while I changed the position of the papers, and now, well, I don't remember having put the box back in my pocket. fThere is a murmur of amusement from the group. Dell continuesj John-But the box isn't on the table now. Who found it? CAII are still for a momentj Kane-It was found all right, Mr. Dell, and I think I can find it for you unless I am much mistaken. Mr. Charles Dimley has the ring in his pocket. CThere is a sudden gasp of astonishment and then utter silence. Charles Dimley slowly takes the box from his pocket and walks across to the desk where he places it carefully in front of Kane.

They offer the student exactly what he needs, and that is vigorous and developmental activity. The athlete soon learns that to make and stay on the team he must be physically fit: therefore, the earnest ath- lete strives to keep his body in perfect condition. It is through sports, also, that the student will realize the necessity for good sportsmanship and cooperation, and his character will be strengthened with all the traits that will make him a success in life. The first thing a true athlete learns is that he is only a part of the team, and if the game is to be won, he must cooperate with his teammates: for on the athletic held it is teamwork or defeat. Thus an athlete learns to rely upon his teammates and he soon realizes the meaning of cooperation. It is also on the athletic field he becomes acquainted with good sportsmanship. He iinds that the score does not win the game. There is more than physical strength -there is strength of character. The school to the athlete is somewhat of an ideal. Classrooms, tests and reports are forgotten. School is no longer a place of hard study, but an inspiration to be looked up to. In looking up to it, the athlete does his small part in bringing it honor and fame by winning the game. He goes into the game with the feeling that he has to win it. He may have more than one reason for wanting to win it, but foremost in his thoughts is his school. Sports offer the student an excellent opportunity to make a name for himself. Newspapers and school publi- cations are always ready to run headlines about an athlete if he is worthy of that honor. Other students will look up to him with awe, and he can be, if he chooses, a shining ideal. It is a well-known fact that the student body takes great pride in boasting about its school, and one of the most common ways is to talk about the athletic achieve- ments of the school's teams. It is also true that the aver- age student of today likes to attend a school with ath- letic prominence. Thus, if there is to be true school spirit, and if the student is to honor his school, there must be sports. As the team struggles to Win the game, its followers are also trying to win their small battle. Therefore, un- consciously they unite. Sitting on a certain side of the field, cheering for the same team, getting a thrill out of a certain play, crushed by the same defeat, they all have something in common-they stand united. It would be impossible to find this same feeling among the same stu- dents elsewhere. Athletic teams at Central are not so overcrowded as yet that there is no room for development of talent. Coaches are on the lookout constantly to find some hidden talent. If they find such a person, they single him out and Work with him until he fuliills their expectations.

MCCARTHY HE venerable Webster once defined a wallflower as a lady who keeps her seat at the side during dancing. of her own accord or because she cannot find a partner. Were this definition to be streamlined today no sex dis- tinction would be made. The male wallflower is more striking in his oddities than his drab female companion. His overpowering ambition to be the life of the party transforms him into an obnoxious thing. loathsome and persistent as a Colorado paint brush. Deadly is the mot juste to describe the female wallflower. A poisonous vigi- lante she sits at her post by the wall engaged in the pleas- ant pastime of withering, bit by bit. the reputation from the beautiful bodies of her dancing sisters, Geographical limitations there are none in the extent of the wallliower.

What a variety these packages reveal-disap- pointment, satisfaction, joy, or just the commonplace necessities of life? The plain brown wrapping paper of the market lends no rapture to the opening of the packages, but on such festivals as Christmas the bright colors of the wrapping paper, the harmonious hues of the ribbon or cord, the fancy Christmas stickers make the contents all the more desirable. Trembling fingers clumsily try to undo the carefully wrapped packages. A shout, Oh, get a knife. We'll cut the cord, The cord gives, the paper falls away, like a curtain rising on a new play: we hold our breath a moment. Then a sigh, perhaps of keen delight, perhaps of disappointment. A package lying on the street. Should you pick it up? You kick it: it feels soft. No, better leave it and go on your way than be the target of ridicule of some practical joker who may be hidden close by. You put your hand into the grab-box. There is a large package. here a small . . . which should you take?

In a hospital, the sympathetic gifts of visitors, the tiny bundle of hu- manity the nurse carries to its mother, the most precious of all bundles . . . In ancient times, a bundle of arrows meant the declaration of war . . . Gifts, food, clothing, the bare necessities of life, they all come in packages. Each is opened. Nonchalantly, joy- fully. eagerly, helplessly, wearily, from one hand to an- other, from the giver to the receiver. from the shop girl to the customer, from the clerk to the housewife, we pass the packages of Life. BEATRICE SCHWARTZ, '38 A Man and a Mirage AR out in the desert, a lonely figure could be dis- cerned against the sun. Trudging steadily ahead, shoulders slouched, head bent, and arms swinging aim- lessly, the man approached. His hair was filled with sand: his face and hands also were covered with it, He was barefooted, having long ago discarded his shoes because of his blistered feet. For nearly an hour after the sun had lowered in the sky, he pursued his course. Two days now, he had been on this endless sea of sand without food and water. In his mad desire for water, he forgot his hunger. He had heard of people who, in their thirst, drank the blood from their fingers. He was staggering slowly now, feet blistered and burned. Painfully, he raised his head, and there was a A Sophomorels The other night I dreamed a dream Of happiness and cheer, Of work and play that I would do In Central year by year. I dreamt of victories well-won, Of dances, games and plays: And things that make dear Central High So full of happy days. And as I watched the last class leave. I heard each pupil sigh: wonderful sight to behold. Water! Yes, it was there, right in front of him. He tried to shout, but it was only a mere whisper. Then the pool disappeared. It was only a mirage, and he fell to the ground in despair. Rising slowly, and with much pain, he staggered on- ward. His steps grew slower and slower until he could hardly stand. Choking, he raised his head, only to see another mirage. He started towards it, but progress was slow. Around it were girls all dressed in white. They ran to meet him, and two men helped him to the pool. They helped him to drink, and he drank long and thirst- ily. Everything within him was peaceful as he fell into a deep slumber-a slumber from which he was never to awake. SARAH HAGOPIAN Dream Each glanced around with longing air, A tear was in each eye. And I am not afraid to say I know why it was there: And though they say they're glad to go, I know they really care, I know that they all envy me, Who has three years to stay, And wish that they were in my place, And this was their first day. MARY FOSTER -164- Fisherman? Luck ABGUT A BOY, A FISH, AND A GAME WARDEN By ELMER EDDY, '37 ' FICTION ' IT was just about time for the bass to bite. Daybreak had just arrived, and it was a perfect morning for fishing. The usual morning mist which hovered over the reservoir was just beginning to rise. Johnny knew he would have to leave soon or be caught by the warden who came by about sunrise. Johnnie's luck had been bad this morning. He hadn't had even one bite, but he was not discouraged, for he knew that old grandpapa bass was down there scaring all the small ones away and was probably making up his mind whether to strike or I'lOt. The sun was just starting to show over the hill and Johnny knew he had to pack up and leave quickly. He hadn't given his reel more than one turn when-zingl Something struck and whirled away with the line. Johnny played out the line yard after yard. Finally when he saw he had no more than fifty feet of line left he set the hook. Now the fight began. The monster of a bass shot down into the depths, then raced for the surface and shot high into the air. He fought much harder than any fish Johnny had ever hooked before. Johnny forgot everything. He forgot it was sunrise and that the war- den would soon be around. All he thought of was the dark green beauty he had seen leap high into the air. At last, after about fifteen minutes of strenuous fighting, the huge bass was tiring. Johnny kept edging him nearer shore. Just as he had his prize in his landing net, he heard footsteps along the graveled shore. He knew it was the warden. Johnnie's heart was in his mouth. If he kept the bass it would cost him a S20 line, and all he had was 255.00 which he was saving for an ice-fishing outfit. He hated to do it but he had to let his prize beauty go. Just as the shadow of the warden fell on Johnny's back, Johnny let the bass slip back into the res- ervoir. Johnny turned to see the warden staring in amaze- ment at the place where the bass had slipped into the water. When the warden realized Johnny was watching him, he tried to hide his amazement and hurriedly ordered Johnny off the reservoir property, warning him that he would take him in if he caught him again. All the way home Johnny wondered why the warden had not searched him for fish which he might have caught. Also it was customary for the warden to take anyone who was caught fishing to the head warden's ofhce, for a war- den was given Sl.00 for everyone he might catch iishing. Johnny went over just what had happened when the war- den came up. Then suddenly he recalled the look of amazement on the warden's face, and he realized the war- den had seen the monstrous dark green beauty he had let slip back into the water. Then Johnny knew why the warden had not taken him in to collect his 31.00 and had hurried him out so quickly. He knew that the war- den wanted to go back another morning and catch this prize for himself. So every morning for live days Johnny went down to his favorite haunt with all his fishing tackle and bait, but he did not fish. He did not want to risk being caught again. Instead he hid in the woods where he could get a clear view of the shore around the spot where he caught what he had wanted to catch all his life only to have to lose it again so quickly. On the sixth morning Johnny thought his idea must be wrong, but he thought he would try one morning more anyway. On the seventh morning he saw what he was waiting for. The warden was walking down the shore, about a half-hour earlier than usual. Johnny looked hard for a fishing pole on the warden, but he saw none. Soon, however, the Warden reached the spot where Johnny had made his catch, He stopped, slipped a telescope rod from up his sleeve, took a reel from one pocket and a bait box from another. Johnny waited until the warden had net- tled down to fishing and then walked briskly down and sat beside him. The warden started, turned red as a beet and gulped. He realized he was in more of a pickle than Johnny was just a week ago. The warden was now at Johnny's mercy, and pleaded with him not to report him. Johnny, however, had planned that if the warden would let him fish there, he would do nothing until either one or the other caught the dark green beauty again. The warden agreed, and then every morning until the snow fell one could see the warden and Johnny trying hard to catch grandp-apa bass again. It was luck: here was the man who was supposed to be keeping people from fishing, fishing himself, and also letting Johnny fish. I'm sorry, but I can't tell you which one finally caught the beauty in the end. -165. l 1 Leapin Lena MYSTERY IN A MODEL T By CLARENCE ST. JACQUES, '39 - FICTION - smile wreathed old Lem Walter's face as he glanced at the money extended across the counter by these two youngsters. For some time now Lem had known Lynn Frederick and Ereckles Lee, two youths who at- tended the local high school. At first he was quite aston- ished When the boys bluntly asked him if they could buy Leapin' Lena, one of the many old cars in the back of Lem's auto shop. To tell the truth, it seemed to almost everybody that the old car was just so much junk. But Lynn and Freckles had their own ideas as to how they would fix up the antique auto. Thus they had offered Walters ten dollars for Lena, and although he protested the car wasn't Worth that amount, they insisted he ac- cept the money. All right boys, I won't argue with ye: you can take Lena right now if you want to, said Walters laughingly. The overjoyed boys hastened to the back of the shop to view their prize. Boy, is'nt she a beauty! exclaimed the delighted Freckles. And, won't she look keen when we paint all those funny sayings on her! breathed the equally-delighted Lynn. Two weeks passed While the boys overhauled old Lena. Finally success was theirs and Lena, her newly painted body gleaming, was ready for the road. With an excited the driver's seat and with shout, Lynn climbed into Freckles doing the cranking got Lena started! Hop in and hold onto your hat! shouted Lynn as the old car roared out into the street. She sure runs swell, the noise of the motor. In and out of the congested traffic of Town Street went the deliriously happy boys, Lena's motor sputtering all the while. And after a day of hilarious fun, the two yelled the freckled one above boys returned home to enjoy a night of deep slumbering. Early the next morning as Lynn was about to sit down at the breakfast table to consume his usual amount of flapjacks, he heard his friend's whistle. Hastily excusing himself, he raced outside to find Freckles impatiently pac- ing back and forth on the veranda. As Lynn appeared in the doorway, Freckles rushed over to him bubbling over with excitement. Lynn, I've just unraveled the mystery about old Mr. Lockwood! Here the speckled one paused, to let the full importance of his statement sink into his chum's mind. Wh-what do you mean? queried Lynn already shar- ing his friend's excitement. 'iWell, began Freckles, Hyou remember how all the people believed the old man had loads of money and when he died his six-year-old granddaughter was left penniless and without a home? What most folks didn't know was that some time before he died, the old codger came into Lake City here and deposited enough money in the United Trust Bank to cover his funeral expenses! Even so there was oodles more money never accounted for. This was because the old skinflint didn't want anyone to know where his wealth was hidden. And like the old miser he Was. he wrote out the location of his money, and since he could find no place to hide it he came into town one night and hid the paper among some old tools under the rear seat of Leapin' Lena! The following day he Went into Lem Walter's office and paid him twenty- five dollars, telling Lem not to let anyone go near the old car. At first Lem was suspicious, but since he's not one to monkey in other people's affairs he soon forgot about it. When we offered to buy the car Lem sold it, figuring now that the old man was dead it was all right to get rid of Lena. This morning as I was puttering around the c-ar I found the paper under the rear seat. When I asked Lem about it he told me all he knew, and piecing everything together I had a pretty good idea of the whole affair. What's left of old Lockwood's wealth is hidden behind a removable brick in the old Lockwood Mansion fireplace! I figured we could take a ride out there tonight. You're on! exclaimed Lynn, for the moment forget- ting his intense hunger. A low rumbling was heard in the heavens as the two boys drove along Weywood Avenue toward the outskirts of the city. For years now the old Lockwood Mansion had been boarded up. The house presented a sinister ap- pearance with its thick, creeping, ivy vines practically ob- scuring the front, The winding road leading from the highway to the mansion was covered with thick grass and weeds. Finally the boys reached the side road leading to the mansion. As Len.a chugged along the crooked roadway rain streamed down in torrents, while livid fiashes of lightning streaked across the leaden sky followed -166- THE BLACK - - JUNE by ominous rumbles of thunder. To make matters worse a thick, grey fog was settling over the city. As the car drew up in front of the mansion the lads leaped out and raced for the shelter of the dust-covered porch. The next thing Lynn and Freckles did was to smash in one of the boarded up windows. Lynn clicked on the flashlight and climbed through the battered win- dow. It was pitch dark in the interior of the mansion, but with the aid of the flashlight the boys found the fire- place. It's supposed to be on the right hand side of the fire- place, advised Freckles. Herewith they began feeling for the loose brick. A tense silence pervaded as the boys worked: finally Lynn exclaimed: This isl His exclamation was lost amid a terrific roaring crash! Both boys rushed to the window to find that I1 huge tree had been struck and had fallen across the roadway thus blocking the already narrow road! We'll never be able to get back to town tonight. We'll AND ooLDgg 1936 .- have to stay here overnight: in the morning we can hitch- hike back, said Lynn with a sigh ofidespair. They then hastened back to the fireplace and in a min- ute Lynn located the loose brick. Behind it they found the missing wealth of the old man. With this they began a search of the house, since they were going to stay overnight. In the cellar they found some old dry wood and in a short time had a crackling fire. Early the next morning. the storm having abated, the boys hitch-hiked back to town to make their discovery known. And that's how Gloria Lockwood, the granddaughter, was taken out of the Municipal Orphanage and her care entrusted to a young married couple in Lake City. The money was put into a trust fund to enable Gloria to at- tend college when she was old enough. Leapin' Lena surely was a famous car! Why Re-ad Poetry? NE might as well ask why birds should sing as why we should read poetry. It is natural that all people with any feeling for music should love to read poetry. To me poetry is an art whose medium is spoken lan- guage used in such a fashion that the sound is of very great importance, as well as the meaning. Just as the most elementary knowledge of painting enablesione to see more in the world about him, to be aware of previ- ously unrecognized beauties in any landscape, so a knowl- edge of the possible richness of poetry will tend to have a similar effect upon one. stood beside a landscape painter on in the White Mountains. We were a valley which to me seemed beau- tiful but subdued. My friend spoke of it as all ablaze, and when I asked him what he meant he began painting out the colors which my untrained eye had either over- looked or else had blurred together into an unexciting neutral shade. There he was painting red and tawny yel- low wild flowers, glinting in the long grass in a field where I had noticed only green: a huge brown-red splotch on the side of a hill where there had been grad- ing for a road: bright blue and dazzling sunlight on patches of a stream between tree trunks. As my friend talked I grew surprised at my lack of observation. I had been standing in the midst of a wild, modernistic paint- ing-but I should never had discovered it by myself. Couldn't one awake to the possibilities of beauty in poetry by reading and truly absorbing fine verse? Two years ago I the slope of a hill looking down upon What better education is there than to share with the greatest minds that have lived in this world, their feel- ings, their hopes, their joys and their sorrows.

The group was dividf ed according to expressed interests, and work was begun immediately under the direction of Mr. VVebb on the ad- vertising staff. Mr. Brownsword on the literary staff. and Mr. Bailey on the art staff. Mr. Webb explained to his group the system by which advertisements are solicited. Suggestions were made. and assignments given. and the work of securing advertising contracts began. The literary staff began the consideration of all the various types of material needed for the unusually large book to be published. Miss L. M. Lowell came to one meeting to talk about humorous essays, and contributed Mr. Bailey directed the work of the art staff. with the able assistance of Frank Iafrate. The panels, full-page cartoons. and other material developed rapidly. Those interested in the reportorial work of the BLACK AND GOLD worked under the direction of Elsie Barks. editor-in-chief. Assignments to clubs and organizations were made. and directions given concerning style and length of material. Throughout the remainder of the year. all groups of the staff remained active. Stories were written. submit- ted. edited, typed. and sent to the printer. Cartoons were passed in. approved, and accepted. Secretarial workers sent out notices, personals were written: checked. and re- vised. and all the great variety of work went on apace. much valuable information. 171 'THE BLACK AND GOLD - -JUNE - 1936 - - The Centralite ETER three years The Centralite has established a genuine leadership in the Rhode Island scholastic press world, due to the excellent direction of Miss Helen M-E McCarthy. During this period, numerous innova- tions have improved the paper to such an extent that it now ranks first among high school papers in the state. One of the most noticeable changes is that of its size. The present Centralite has grown from a four-column paper. The past year has witnessed many changes in make-up. The staff of The Centrulite may justly be proud of its front page for it is rated as perfect: certain issues have been produced that illustrated perfect balance. For vari- ety, other additions have been published which employ new front page technique. A new policy has been introduced this term: that is, short newsy items written in a humorous vein are boxed to break the monotony of the straight news. Com- pliments are forthcoming from many parts of the country on our utilization of feature material, including inter- views with various notables of national fame. The space devoted to the staff and platform of the paper has been decidedly reduced, for which readers should be grateful. Also on the second page, editorial space has been cut down, and the editorials have been shortened and written in a less preachy manner, The inner pages of the publication have been made brighter by the in- auguration of departmental heads. Central may pride itself on having one of the few school papers that devotes one page to sports exclusively. One of the finest editions ever produced by any staff of this paper was the Tercentenary Edition which was produced in May at the time of the first anniversary con- vention of the Rhode Island Scholastic Press Association. The Centralile has the honor of being the founder of the R. I. S. P. A., which in this Tercentenary year is cele- brating its first anniversary. The Centralite is really taking part in the program to interpret the school to the community. It is the policy to have each issue truly mirror the activities of the school. Time marches on-with it moves The Centralite. MARION CASEY, '36 Editor-1'n-Chief The Press Club D give an opportunity to pupils who cannot obtain the scholastic requirements that enable them to take the journalism course, to participate in and enjoy the ac- tivities that accompany the course, the Press club was founded in 1935 by Miss McCarthy, journalism teacher. It has had an educational theme throughout the year and has been very successful in its function. Members of the Press Club are entitled to attend the semi-annual conven- tions arranged for their benefit. One of the features of the past semester was a tour of the Christian Science Monitor. one of the finest publishing houses in the States, located in Boston. At the beginning of the current term, new members of the club who were staff members of their junior high school papers were entertained by the older club members. The season ended with a picnic held at Lincoln Woods. MARION CASEY, '36 The Art Club I-IE Art Club, one of the most informal clubs in Central High School, is under the direction of Mr. Clayton B. Smith, who is head of the Art Department. This club is open to all students, whether they have spe- cial talent in art or not. Those who enjoy art have many varied opportunities to experiment with a large variety of art techniques, to visit artists at their work, and to become better acquainted with the various opportunities in the professional and industrial fields open to the art trained individual. During the winter months the club sketched from a professional model, with pastel and tempered paints. They also had rapid two-minute sketches of students in action poses, in preparation for drawing people in public places. In April the Art Club visited the studio of Mr. Gino Conti, who is working on murals for Rhode Island State College. Pi-IYLLIS H. DOANE -172- SLIENVE HLUB l'irx1 lfmuf-M. Maguire, Y. Illi.Il lawwn.

The Physical and Chemical Laboratories and the Geology building were visited. The second trip of the club to Brown University took place on Tuesday. April 28. The club visited the en- gineering laboratories and were conducted by Mr. Kissler. Leaving this building, they went to the electrical en- gineering laboratory. Here the instructor explained how miniature lightning is made. He explained the principle of mercury light, a new system being adapted to indus- trial purposes. Altogether the club this year has been made very in- teresting and helpful through the efforts of Miss Lillian Kelman and Mr. Bernard Oster, JOSEPH Cl IA1wEN'1'1uR. '3 7 Mother: 'Come here, Henry.

When the club was organized in 1934, every student in the school was eligible for membership, but now a student must attend stagecraft classes every Wednesday and Friday before he is admitted to the club. The object of the club is to keep the stage in good condition and to take charge of prop- erties, lights, drops, lighting, etc. at all school plays. Pupils are thus afforded actual backstage work under a trained director. This term the Proscenium Club has had charge of the stage for the contest play, Journeys End, and the senior play, The Royal Family. HARRIET LOUGHLIN, '36 The Camera Club HE Camera Club was begun with the purpose of dis- covering students interested in taking pictures for the BLACK AND GOLD, but so much keen interest in the sub- ject was discovered that the formation of a club was made advisable. The work of the small group has been varied. An informal study of certain types of photography has been made, and several meetings have been devoted to the developing and printing of pictures taken by members of the group. The LTHOUGH a comparatively new club in Central, the Hi-Y is a favorite among the male students. The club was formed with the object of creating a better sportsmanship and a more friendly feeling among high school students. All the high schools in the city. East Providence, Cranston and most of the public schools in the state have a Hi-Y organization. In order to be eligible for membership a boy must be a student of high standing in his school. The Central Hi-Y Association meets every Thursday evening at the Y. M. C. A. The club advisors are: Mr. Brown, the school advisor: and Mr. Curtis Collinson, the Y. M. C. A. advisor. At the present time the club con- ll Circolo HE Circolo Petrarca of Central High School is com- posed of Italian speaking students of the morning session.

Undoubtedly, without Miss Bray's competent and efficient coaching, it is very unlikely that such a dificult dramatic project would have attained such a high degree of perfection, One of the greatest dramatic projects ever undertaken by a Central dramatic group was Journeys End. This modest, plotless. womanless play which was written by R. C, Sheriff is a very powerful argument against war. It shows that war is horrid because it exterminates the youth of a country, it brings sorrow and grief to friends and relatives and last, but not least, it shows the sense- lessness of war, The leading part, Stanhope, was played by Arthur Pezzulo. The rest of the cast in order of their appear- ance on the stage were: Captain Hardy, Stanley Peczyn- ski, Lieut. Osborne, James Finegan. Private Mason, Mario Macaruso. Second Lieut. Hubbard, Edward Bergin, Com- pany Sergeant-Major Robert Donaldson, Colonel Frederick England, Second Lieut. Trotter, William Beddowes: Ger- man soldier, Harold Hollis: runner. Irving King. The scene takes place in a British dug-out before Saint Quentin, France, during the latter part of the World War.

The hard work and efficiency of these classes make it possible for the school budget to carry on. The members of the classes receive a grade for the term as they would if they were attending a regular class. This gives the classes an opportunity to know and experience the work that is done in an office. The head bookkeepers this term are: Regina Balkum, Cherry Ballard, Margaret Donovan, Norman Remington, and Charlotte Wunsch. The stock clerks are John Palazzi, and Mario Macar- uso. MARGARET DoNovAN, '36 H1-TRI THE Hi-Tri Club is a chapter of the Girl Reserves which is organized all over the world. The Central Hi-Tri began its club year with a recognition service on March 8 at the Y. W. C. A. The chairs in which the new members were seated were arranged in a triangle, while the chairs of old members were arranged in a circle inside of the triangle. The meeting was called to order by President Helen Joslyn. Each girl held a small candle mounted on card- board designating the Girl Reserve symbol. The presi- dent lit the candle of the girls beside her and the light was passed to each member. The girls then repeated the Girl Reserve oath and laws. Refreshments were served and each girl received a small blue and white pin. During the rest of the school year, the members at- tended hikes, inter-club, suppers and theatre parties. On May 14 the club members attended an inter-club banquet at the Y. W. C. A. in honor of the graduating members of the clubs. -176- LIZ tl'RC'l,l, ROI AND lirrft Rott' M. llrocaecini. l. lata borelli. V, lhltsaie, IU. 'It'sta, Mr Kruertin. If. lmssartl. I..

Roy E. Ekberg, another of Central's music teach- ers, directs this group of twenty musicians the first period every Tuesday and Thursday in our auditorium. About twenty-eight times a year, we find this unit playing at school and outside engagements that call for the style of music that this group can offer. The first three letters of the director's name form the unique name of the organ- ization. This organization, composed of violins, violas, double bass, saxaphones, trumpets, clarinets and trom- bones, spends its time playing light classics and selected popular music. W. VICTOR PIMBLE, '36 Senior Orchestra HREE times a week we find in our auditorium this line group of sixty-six musicians practicing under the direction of Mr. Edward A. Grant. A few of the pieces the orchestra is playing at present are: March Slay, by Tschaikowsky, Selections from the Bat, by Strauss, and Rosamond Overture, by Shubert. At the Rhode Island Music Festival, Park Concert, and the graduation exercises of the seniors we are sure to rind this well talented organization present. Students of the school who show sufficient proficiency in playing orchestral instruments are welcomed to the school orchestra. Because of an insufficiency of players on such instruments as the flute, oboe, French horn, contra- bass, viola, and violin cello, players on these instruments are trained from the host of pianists, who on account of Senior IXTY-FOUR of the finest musicians in Central form our fine cadet-like band. This organization meets every day for practice either in the auditorium or in the music room at one o'clock. Mr. G. Richard Carpenter, one of our music teachers, is the director of this well- trained unit and is assisted by Edward Maguire, the band's snappy drum major: Mr. Walter E. Wendell, who takes charge of the equipment, and Ralph Tullie, manager. The band offers a course in ensemble playing designed to teach the fundamental technique of group effort. Such points as attack, release, dynamics, phrasing, accompany- ing, and tone quality are stressed. Through the use of standard band works and compositions, this course aims to create an appreciation of good music well-played. Pro- The Boys' The following form the officers of the Boys' Glee Club: President, Nicholas Carusone: Vice-President, Ed- ward Maguireg Treasurer, B. Sandopardre, and Secretary, R. Traylor. the large numbers of such players cannot be given a place in the orchestra. These players are encouraged to play on the new instrument by the instructor in order to com- plete the instrumentation of the organization. Material for all entertainments such as class plays, graduation, park concerts, parent-teacher meetings and many other similar affairs are studied in the orchestra classes. The type of music that the student becomes acquainted with is of the worthiest sort, such as classic and standard overtures, symphonies, suites and many lighter and small- er forms. Through the study of these masterpieces, the student becomes familiar not only with the general rou- tine of orchestra playing, but also becomes mentally and physically alert to the precise spontaneity which is so es- sential in the effective following of the conductor's baton. VJ. VICTOR PIMBLE, ,36 Band fessional standards are stressed, to acquaint the student with the routine of playing procedure and fit the student for intelligent participation and listening in later life. This course is ungraded, and students may progress from inferior to higher positions and responsibilities as their experience and training warrant. Every effort is made to keep this organization in good balance, and to this end a limited number of instruments are furnished to reliable students, and free instruction is given. A few of the band's usual trips and engagements are: Central Night at Rhodes, Armistice Day Parade, competi- tion at Kingston for best state band, competition for best New England band, and Senior Class Day.

'36 The Bugle Corps HIS Bugle Corps, under the able direction of Mr. Maurice I.ewis, made its first appearance on Friday, May 8. at the annual Black and Gold Night at Rhodes on the Pawtuxet. Loud applause greeted its premiere efforts. Organized early in the year, the Bugle Corps now has fourteen members, all of whom play in either the Junior or Senior Band. The uniforms of the Bugle Corps are similar to those of the school band. Instruments used by the corps members in their rendition of stirring tunes are their own. MADELINE VIGNIEAU, '37 -179- THE BLACK AND GOLD - - JUNE - 1936 f - Debating Club NDER the able guidance and direction of Mr. T. Russell McGrath, coach, the Central Debating Club has proved itself one of the best clubs in the school. Meeting every Wednesday at 12:30, this club has planned various interesting debates and unusual round- table discussions. The purposes of this club are to further the interests of debating in Central High School, to promote quick and clear thinking, to increase the students knowledge of parliamentary law, and to develop the student's speaking ability. The excellent motto of this club is Vera Ratio which means sound argument. On May 4, the debating team met at the Washington Park Men's Club, and emerged victorious with a score of 2-l against Classical High School on the topic: Re- solved: That the City Management Form of Government Be Adopted By Cities in Rhode Island. The members on the team were Virginia Trimble..Gladys Haid. Ed- mund Zezulewicz, and Edmund Newton, alternative. We hope the debating club of future years will prove as energetic and successful as did the present debating club. BETTY WEXLER. '37 David W. Hoyt Library Auxiliary THERE is a club in Central which has not attracted very much attention but which has proved very pop- ular with the literary-minded girls of the school. Under the leadership of Miss Ruth E. Greene, school librarian, the David W. Hoyt Library Auxiliary, has enjoyed many interesting and delightful meetings. The aim of the club is to always present a varied and interesting program to its members at each meeting. Sometimes the members of the club take part in these programs and often there are guest speakers who present interesting talks or enter- tain with choice readings and selections. The annual pic- nic which every girl looks forward to with pleasurable anticipation promotes good fellowship, and the Christmas party is an event that is always remembered with delight. There are also trips to places of interest in Providence: for example, the John Hay Library at Brown University. This club has its meetings every first and third Friday of the month, and all girls who ind pleasure and delight in books and reading are cordially invited to join the David W. Hoyt Library Auxiliary, HOPE DELBARONE. '37 What Would Happen If--- By HARRIET LOUGHLIN AND IVA SANDSTROM Joe Mason wasn't class President? Dot Stephens stopped smiling?
