Advisers The real test of a free conscience is to bring the skeleton from the closet with a smile. Besides teaching biology Miss Irma Meili as- sists with the Student Council. Her gracious charm will be remembered by the students. Tubes, static, and air waves hold no mys- teries for Mr. C. W. Eastman to solve. He has conquered those and many more during his reign as adviser for the Radio club. The decision is three to nothing in favor of Central. These ringing words are often heard by Mr. Stanley VVatson, the debate coach. For many years he has successfully instructed Central's teams to victories. As one would expect, Miss Nellie Muller, adviser of the German Club, enjoys German literature and German opera. She enjoys gardening and bridge and also the luxurious pastime of European travel. Guiding the path of the National Honor So- ciety is the duty of the able pilot, Miss Grace Cochran. She has her M. A. degree from the University of Wisconsin. She likes to drive a car and loves to cook. Knowing Buffalo Bill as Well as the For- syte Saga and playing golf with her son keeps Mrs. Mary Harmon in sympathy with the younger generation and their English dif- ficulties. Our class adviser, Miss Jennie Wiesenthal, teaches bookkeeping in addition to piloting our destinies. On a balmy spring night one can often see the Wiesenthals driving the Buick on their way to a picnic. Miss Anna Dickson, known as Nancy to her friends, is famous for her smiles, her witticisms, and her varied interests. Her chief ambition is to learn to swim. She is one of the advisers of the Honor Society and belongs to the C club.

In 1893 a choir was started whose duty it was 'Ito assist in the morning exercises and to put new life into the singing. Since l902 the place of this organization has been taken by the Glee Clubs. Another department, manual arts, is made up of five separate sections: shop, turning, forge, mechanical draw- ing, and cabinet making. Many interesting subjects, such as art woodwork and aeronautics, are taught by this depart- ment. These courses are comparatively new and are becom- ing increasingly popular. The tine arts section is also a recent project. Thumb Tacks and Triads, two clubs sponsored by this depart- ment, design most of our scenery and posters. These scenic designs are executed by the stage force. Commercial art, modeling, illustration, publication, free hand drawing, and design are the divisions of this section. 1 v

Advisers Latin is not dead. A concrete proof of this is the enthusiasm of Latin Club members who are advised by Miss Daphne Schaull and Miss Florence Baber. Miss Schaull enjoys read- ing and likes to entertain a small nephew. Stop and go signs hold a great deal of in- terest for Mr. Arthur Anderson, for he is the power behind the throne in the Central traf- fic squad. He is business adviser for the Times and the W'orld as well. Vlfith a few skillful strokes of her brush Miss Elizabeth Stroble creates a pleasing de- sign. She is especially interested in batik, and under her direction, the Triads have de- signed attractive scarfs. Miss Florence Baber, adviser for the Latin Club, has produced a great number of plays for programs. That is not her only hobby, however, for she has a garden, which she enjoys greatly. Travel and books loom high on the hori- zon of Miss Hilda Anderson. Seminar cour- ses at the University enable her to continue her study of the eighteenth century, in which she is especially interested. Miss Carrie Castle, that smiling blue-eyed English teacher is the adviser of the Literary Club and has superintended the publication of The World this year. Miss Mary Bryant, our dean of girls, loves out-of-door sports, especially skating. Vaca- tioning at White Bear is her chief delight in summer. We wonder what the sophomores would do without her. A representative of the history department is Mr. Harry Smith whose avocation is music. He enjoys tennis, and golf, and often goes on long fishing trips. He is a great favorite among the pupils.
