B. Blakely Football Sponsor As in the olden days of chivalry, the “faire layde,” graciously acknowl¬ edged queen, smiled upon her Lord in knightly combat, inspiring him to vitcory, thus did our fair sponsor aid her team. At the most discouraging moments in the games, when it looked as if old Central would go down in defeat, she never once lost hope or allowed herself to think that her team could be the loser. By her faith in them and her sincere enthusiasm she encouraged the boys to victory. But she never let her zeal detract from her fairness or good sports¬ manship, for she was always magnanimous to her opponents, and carried her¬ self with a dignity that not only made Central proud of her, but drew admira¬ tion from the opposing teams. Besides always encouraging die boys by her presence on the field of bat¬ tle, she was ever ready to take the part of a gracious hostess in her home to them. “Mary Liz.” as she was affectionately called, proved that her “beauty was not only skin deep.” A well poised character, a good all around sport— she will long be remembered by the students of Central High. fflm “Bcrria Cudeait fay Campbell ‘BeramXdiot fitf in n«-:r • ; • ' : ■■ - i ' ' , v,y 1 utk‘Dcrraodu WlWIf ;, w ■ J. B. “Race Horse” Bi.akely Captain—Halfback J. B. Blakely proved not only a player of worth but also an excellent leader. He proved to be one of the fastest and best ground gain¬ ers of all backfield men in the state. J. B. always fought with a fixed determination to do his very best, never giving up until the final whistle. He could always be depended upon to come through in the pinch. This fight, grit, and determination of Blakely’s caused the team to fight all the harder be¬ cause they saw him doing his best and not leaving it all to them. It was also this fight¬ ing spirit that won him praise and admiration from every Central rooter. This was Blakely’s third and last season with the team and proved to be his most successful. He is known as one of Central’s “Four Horsemen.” Who will fill Blakely’s shoes next season? The man will be hard to find.

I Ie could hit the line harder than any other man his size in the state. Time and again he would return punts twenty or thirty yards. If an opponent broke through the line, it was Sawyer who would stop him. Sawyer and Kattmann will be the only two of the “Four Horsemen” back next year, and the team will likely be built around them. Bruce Kitty” Kattmann 11 alf back Kattmann proved to be the triple threat man of the team. 1 ime and again he was called upon to make a gain, to punt out of danger, or to drop a pass into some Tiger’s waiting arm twenty or thirty yards down the field. Many times Kattmann ' s educated toe put the Tigers in striking distance of the goal. lie could also droplock the pig-skin between the bars whenever opportunity offered. Kattmann is the third of the “Four Horsemen” and he will be back fighting for the Tigers next season. Jimmie “Jip” Boyles Fullback Boyles the other member of the Four Horsemen” always played a tight, peppy game at fullback. He was a consistent ground gainer and could break up passes of the enemy without fail. He was always there, backing up the line and leading interference when called upon to do so. Many t-mes he helped block onrushing opponents while a Tiger threw a pass or punted. Boyles will also be absent when the roll is called next season. James “Blinkeye” Hoover Quarter and Halfback Hoover played a hard steady game whenever sent in. When he was directing the team play at quarter he kept cool and did all he could to steady the team and make them fight. Hoover, also, leaves his place to be filled by some¬ one else next season. Rudoi.ph “Rudy” Coles End Coles played a brilliant game at end always doing all in his power to keep the Tigers’ slate clean from defeat. He could break up end runs attempted by the enemy, block or intercept passes, and was fast in dumping his man and getting down the field to receive one of Kattman’s well aimed passes and carry it on for a long gain. Marion “Firpo” DeVore End DeVore shared honors with Coles as two ends who kept their opponents worried. DeVore was fast, could get his man, get through the line, and upset a play of the opponents in its infancy. He could dump the men who attempted to break up an end run of the Tigers. Like Coles, he could quickly get down the field to receive a pass. DeVore will not be back next fall. George “Head” Uhler Guard Decatur “Deek” O ' Brien Center O’Brien played his first year with Central, but nevertheless played a bang-up game at center and won a letter. He had good control of the ball, snapped it quickly, and gave no sign to the opponents as to who was going to carry the ball. He was heavy and did his share of holding the line on the defense and of blocking the enemy on the offence. O’Brien will be back next year, being the only line man to return. Center Wolfe, who shared honors with O’Brien at center, also played his first year with the Tigers. Although the lightest man on the line, he was effective on both the offence and defense. He was not as easily pushed aside as the opponents thought he would be. His passes to the backfield were al¬ ways well directed and fast. Wolfe also finished his High School career this season. Uhler, who also has played his last game with Central, proved that he was a mainstay on the team. “Head,” as lie is better known, was a valuable man on the offence, holding the opponents at bay while a Tiger backfield man got away for a gain. On the defense he was mighty hard to put aside and could down the opponents before they had made a gain. Uhler always kept cool and played clean football. Russel “Rusty” Wolfe ___ F ; Marion “Cotton” Mobley Tackle Mobley was a tackle of note and was fighting all the time. I le could get his man on the offense and could stop his man on the defense. Mobley often got through the line tackling the player before he had reached the line of scrimmage, 01 recovering a fumble made by an opponent. Mobley will also be a loss to the Tiger fold next season. George “Brute” Kalleen Guard Kalleen was a hard fighter, holding his man at all times. It was impossible to brush him aside on an attempted line plunge, and he would be there ready to stop the approach¬ ing player like a stone wall. When Kalleen and Tigner hit the line, the hole made was big enough to run a train through, and the backfield could make four or five yards through it. Kalleen having graduated in January, will also be a great loss to the team. Tackle Tigner like Mobley played a tight consistent game at tackle, and the two together formed one of the best sets of tackles in the state. Tigner was tough and could stand many hard licks. lie could also rip large holes in the op¬ ponents’ lines for the Tiger backfire to come through. When the opponents hit him, they stopped, for they had gone as far as possible. Central vs. Goose Creek The Central Tigers started the season off in fine style with a decisive victory over the Goose Creek team. The fighting Tigers outclassed their op¬ ponents in every department of the game and there was no question as to its outcome after the first few minutes of play. It was beautiful coordination of the line and backfield and the long periods of training and practice showed up to the best advantage in the manner in which the Tigers carried the ball at all times. Bruce Kattman scored two touchdowns during the game and Sawyer, Hoover and Jimmy Boyles contributed one apiece to the total which, at the end of the game, stood. Central 32, Goose Creek 3. This clean-cut victory showed to the Tiger fans that they were support¬ ing a fighting team, and one that was sure to go a long way toward the state championship. Central vs. Livingston The Central Tigers made the trip to Livingston and defeated the Liv¬ ingston High team by a score of 26 to 0 . 1 he Livingston team put up opposi¬ tion but the stronger team from Central had little trouble in winning. Andy Sawyer, J. B. Blakely, Marion Mobley, Jimmy Boyles and Hoover , m fact the whole team played a game that showed the fighting spirit of the 1 igers. 1 here were no especially outstanding feature plays in the game, but mainly that beautiful cooperation of line and backfield that gives as a result, good football. I he entire team is to be commended on that showing Central vs. Bay City The Central Tigers went to Bay City and defeated the Bay City team bv the fine score of 38—o. The game was a fine one from start to finish but was marred by a painful injury to our stellar quarterback and captain-elect. Andrew Sawyer. Andy was too zealous in his attempts to gain ground at every attempt and one of his famous “line hurdles ended very disastrously for both himself and the liger team, as was proven in the Shreveport game. I he game, however, was a good one and the Tigers overcame their lapse in the first few minutes of play and defeated the Bay City team with heady, sensible football. Several shifts in the line-up were made by Coach Simons with varying success. The substitutes, also, piayed a very creditable game. Central vs. Port Arthur The Central Tigers scored a clean-cut. well earned victory over the Port Arthur Yellow Jackets on Saturday, November 1 st, 1924 , at West End Park. The game was a distinct upset to the hopes of the Yellow Jackets, it was a distinct asset to the Tigers to defeat such a strong team so easily. The Tigers’ defense against the visitors aerial attack was an important point in the victory, as well as the Central team’s strength of the offence. Long and consistent gains by every member of the Tiger backfield, and beauti¬ ful coordination in the line were also two important factors in the victory. Bruce Kattman had his punting down to a fine point, and with Sawyer and Blakely making beautiful long gains, and the line plunging of the rest of the backfield in good shape, the Tigers advanced a step nearer to the state champion¬ ship by the score of 17—o. Central vs. Orange The Central Tigers galloped to a 35 to 6 victory over the Orange High team at West End Park, Saturday, October 25 th, and advanced that much more toward the state meet. The game served as a fine practice with all of the team partaking with interest. That is, the Tigers were in a class above the Orange team and although the visitors put up the expected amount of competition, the Tigers were not extended at all to win the game. Except for an excep¬ tionally good run made by an Orange player after intercepting a Central pass, the visitors played a defensive game, and the Tigers took advantage of their own strong team and the opponents’ poor line to sweep to an easy victory. The team played well, individually and collectively, as it should, and the substitutes, sent in in the last half, also played a fine game. The general team¬ work which was so splendid made it hard to determine or name the real star of the game. So let it suffice that the team won the honors of the day by the splendid cooperation of its members. Central vs. Heights The annual gridiron classic between the Tigers and the Heights “Bull- dogs pi o ed to be one of the hardest fought games of the entire schedule with probable exception of that very disastrous struggle with the Purple and bite eleven at Beaumont for the district championship in which the fighting Tigers came out second best. In the game with Heights, the two teams played and fought cleanly for three periods without either team making a score. I he last quarter found the Black and Gold warriors starting a march down the field that ended in a touchdown, the toe of Bruce Kattman addins ' . . o a point to it. 1 he I igers again launched an offensive that carried them to the 25-yard line, but the I iger offence could not continue through the Heights’ une that stiffened when they saw the shadow of their goal posts lengthening on then backs. Kattman then dropped back and kicked a field goal from there. Heights seemed to throw caution to the wind and opened up an aerial attack with abandon, Stampp staking everything on getting a touchdown for Heights. The Tigers immediately adapted themselves to this type of play and succeeded in grounding- most of the passes. In the last minute or so of play. Wolf, Tiger center, intercepted one of these passes, and raced the necessary 28 yards for a touchdown and Kattman again added the point. 1 he entire Central team played its usual splendid game, the line being in the thick of the fighting all the time and the baekfield starring on the defense as well as the offence. Baxter Moody headed the substitutes in his fine running, interference, and punting, while the rest of the gang fought as hard in their respective positions. The prevailing sportsmanship was of the highest caliber and brought credit to both schools in the eyes of the public. Central vs. Shreveport The Central Tigers journeyed to Shreveport and played a fine game of football except for the fumbles at critical moments. This was the main trouble with the team on that occasion and cost us a victory, Shreveport winning bv a T4—5 score. The Tigers started fine, but the Shreveport forward passes soon be¬ came effective and they scored a touchdown in the first half in this manner. The Tigers gained their points by a field goal and a safety in the first half. The Shreveport team scored again in the last half when one of their players recovered a Tiger fumble on Central’s thirty yard line and ran for a touchdown. The game was hard fought and the Tigers made a wonderful attempt to come back after trailing on the score end for three periods. Central vs. Beaumont The Central Tigers went down to their defeat on Monday, November 17 , at Beaumont. The Tigers were ordered to play Beaumont on the latter’s gridiron, by the head of the Interscholastic league after the Beaumont- Heights game at Houston had been postponed. The Tigers, accompanied by about 500 rooters on a special train, went to Beaumont and marched to the local ball park. The Tigers scored a touchdown immediately after the opening whistle had blown, on the recovery of a fumble of a Beau¬ mont back by Boyles, Central fullback. The Tigers led by Sawyer. Kattman, and Boyles, plunged across for a touchdown and Kattman added the point. From then until the beginning of the last quarter both teams fought fiercely and neither side was able to push over any score. Immediately after the opening whistle in this period. Beular, Beaumont’s star quarterback, opened up a series of forward passes that seemed to overcome the Tigers. That com¬ bination, Beular and Balliew, seemed to work havoc with the ordinary defense put up by the Tigers, and Beaumont made a touchdown after recovering a fumble in Central’s territory, made by Moody. Central took heart when Beau¬ mont failed to make the point after the touchdown, and it seemed for a while that Central might win, 7 to 6. But Beular had other plans for the outcome of the game, for after a skillful mixture of passes and sweeping end runs by him, Beaumont brought the ball to Central’s 9 -yard line, and on a fake pass to the right, Balliew dashed 9 yards down the sidelines for the touchdown, 1 his time, Beaumont added the point, making the score 13 to 7. The Tigers fought fiercely to overcome this lead, but they could not complete any of their belated attacks by the aerial route. The game ended, Beaumont 13 , Central 7.

With true masculine admiration for beauty, brains, and good sportsmanship, the Central cagers chose Gladys Dunman. She viewed her team as a group of individuals not a machine; cheered them in every battle, and was there with the justly famous “Ninkum” for each emergency. Victorious in the election, she chose as her maids those girls most popular with the school and the team; Fay Campbell. Alice Williamson, Bernice Ludeau, Anita Stew¬ art, Bernice Didiot, Louise Joines, and Mary Elizabeth Withers. Andrew “Runt” Sawyer Captain—Forward Andy was one of the most popular players that ever defended the honor of Central on the basketball court. He was fast and could carry the ball down the court and pass it to some waiting- Tiger under the goal for a short shot. He was full of fight and played his best throughout every game. He was a captain whom the whole team liked, and they would fight their best when urged on by Andy. Sawyer was one of the main cogs in the famous Central fast dazzling short-passing game. He was, also, a very valuable man on the defense, staying on his man, often slapping the ball away from him at the least expected moment, and tearing down the court into the opponents territory. Harry Norman Center I !arr Norman, who played his first season with the 1 igers, proved to be fast and a sure guardian on the defense, and a dangerous shot on the offense, lie was high point man of the season, his best games being the three District Championship games in which he scored fifty-two points. After the Tigers had worked the bad down the court with their short passing game, the ball was passed to Norman who dropped it in the basket. Me was lull ol tight and was there lighting from start to finish. Ceorge Caesar” Hucherson Forward Hucherson, though it was his first year with the I igers, played a Stella game at all times and was in there fighting from start to finish. He was not only fast but was a dangerous man on both defense and offense, and was able to find the basket from any angle of the court. Before the season ended “Caesar” had w ' on the friendship and support of every Central rooter. David Zuber Guard David Zuber was the other member of the Tiger guards that will be remembered by Tiger opponents and students for a long time as one of the best guards who has ever worn a Tiger uniform. 1 le was not only a good guard but was also a splendid shooter. Many times when there was no man near the goal to shoot the basket, Zuber would ring it from mid-court. At other times he would be shifted to forward and he would always play a hard fast game which greatly helped the success of the team. Zuber will also be a loss to the team next season because he receives his diploma with the June class of “25.” George “Head” Uhler Guard “Head” was a player w ' ho was hard to get around, being able to guard his man so closely and to break up passes of the opposing team. He could get rid of the ball quickly, before the opponent could block him. It was this close guarding of Uhler and his teammate Zuber that held the scores of the opponents so low. George was an experienced player who could use his head in a pinch and who was always there in doing his best for the honor of Central High. He has played his last game with Central as he graduates this June. 7 igers Win O pener Central 34—Triangles 32 Central opened their basket-ball season against the strong Y. M. C. A. Id iangles, and after a hard, fast game the 1 igers emerged victors by the score ot 34—32 At the first of the game the Tigers missed their short shots after successfully carrying the ball down the court with short, fast passes, but as tne game advanced the team found itself. It was during the second half that the T igers took the lead. The more experienced Triangles outplaved and led the Tigers throughout the first half but in the final period the ’ Tigers had t erything theii way. All the Tigers showed up well, especially Norman, flashy center, playing his first year with the team, who scored eleven noints during the game. Central Defeats ) ellowjackets Central 18—Port Arthur 12 1 lie Jigeis won the second game of the season when they met the Port Aithui ellow jackets at the i. M. C. A. After trailing the Yellowjackets tor the first half by the score of 8—6; the Tigers came back and scored twelve points to the Jackets four in the closing period, the final score being 18—12. Coach Sherman used his second string men the first half and sent his regulars to the rescue in the final period. The team showed that it was in first class shape; working its short passes and cripp shots with great suc¬ cess, time and again having clear shots at the basket. Triangles Defeated Again Central 21—Triangles 18 Central defeated the Triangles for the second time in a game that was faster, more exciting, and harder fought than the first. At the half the Tigers were trailing 12—6 and prospects for victory were very dim. But the team went into the second half determined to win and after a half full of hair- raising plays, the larnous Central short passing game featuring, the score stood 18 18. In the extra period the Tigers fighting with that Central spirit of win or die, succeeded in looping a field goal and a foul while they held the I riangles scoreless, the final score being 21—18. In this game the Tigers showed that they were able to hold their own against any opponent. Tigers Split Central 8—A. M. Freshmen 18 Central 19—Allen Academy The Tigers played the third game of the season at College Station, bowing to the strong A. M. Freshmen team, which went through the season without tasting defeat. A. M. led throughout the game, the final score being iS—8 while the score at the half was 10—7. The whole team stacked up well against its more experienced opponents. The game was played on an un¬ familiar court of an odd shape which greatly handicapped the Tigers. That night they mixed with the strong Allen Academy quintet at Bryan. After a hard fought game the Tigers came from behind and won 19—18 in the last minute of play. The Allen team was leading at the half but as the Tiger regulars took the floor in the final period their score ceased to grow. The Tiger quick short passing game was a great factor in the victory. Tigers Defeat Bulldogs Central 17—Heights 8 The Tigers gained the right to represent Houston in the District Tourna¬ ment b_ defeating Heights High on the night of February the thirteenth. The Tigers took the lead early in the game and held it throughout. At the half Central was leading 11—3 but was able to score only six points in the final period. The final score was 17—8 with the Tigers in the lead. It was the short pass that puzzled Heights as it has puzzled many others. Coach Sher¬ man had his team so well trained in the passing game that many times it passed up a clear shot at the goal in order to carry the ball beneath the goal for a short cripp shot. The Tigers also broke up plays of the Bulldogs without a great deal of trouble. The close guarding of Uhler and Zuber held Heights to only two field goals, both of these being long shots made from mid-court by Dee. the flashy Heights Forward. Tigers Win District Championship Central 73—Dickinson 6 Central 34—Humble 6 Central 39—Angleton 7 The Tigers won the District Tournament without ever being in danger of defeat. On the morning of February 20th they swamped the Dickinson High team, Champions of Galveston County, by the score of 73 to 6. Coach Sherman used his entire squad in the game, Harry Norman being high point man, scoring 20 of the Tiger points. The Tigers held the lead throughout the game the score being 37 to 2 at the half. The Tiger guards held the Dickinson team without a field goal throughout the first half, both points being made from free throws. During the second half the second team ran up a total of 36 points while Dickinson could score but 4. That afternoon they met the Humble team, champions of Harris County and took them into camp by the score of 34 to 6. Humble failed to show the opposition that they had been expected to show, and again all of the Tigers were given a chance to “show their stuff.’’ With the first team playing the majority of the first half, the Tigers ran up a total of 26 points while Hu mble could score but 6. In the second half, with the second string men playing, the Tigers scored 8 points to Humble’s 2. Saturday afternoon they met the Angleton team, champions of Brazoria County and conquerors oi Ball High of Galveston the day before. Although Angleton fought hard to hold the Tigers they were trailing 21 to 3 at the half. C oach Sherman again sent his second string men into tile game for the sec- Anri .-1, 1 1.1 j ,1 r • - ond half and then switched back 1 igers added 18 points to their to the first team in the last quarter. The score in this period and when the game ended the Tigers were on the long end of a 39 to 7 score 1 he winning of tins game gave the Tigers the right to play the Beaumont team the following- week. Harry Norman, Tiger center, was high point man of the tournament vith 52 points to his credit. Tigers Drop to Royal Purple Central 18—Beaumont 23 1 he 1 igei s were eliminated from State championship bv the strong Beaumont team at the Y. M. C. A. on Friday night, February 27th. Beaumont ater won State championship at Austin. The Tigers entered the game greatlv handicapped by injuries, while the Beaumont team was in first-class shape I he I igers were unable to work their short passing game past the Purple and ute guards and had to resort to long shots. Because of hard playing the team made many fouls and Beaumont scored 5 points off of free throws dur¬ ing the first half. 1 he score at the half stood 9 to 6 with Beaumont in the lead. Hie Tigers went into the final period trailing; but at the start of period found the basket for three straight goals and took, the lead; but team weakened by the loss of Hucherson, who had a deep cut in his broke under the strain and Beaumont took the lead and held it the rest the the leg. of tire game, the final score being 23 to 18 with the Tigers on the short end. le game was a hard one to lose but the team fought its best and could not help being defeated. Sawyer played a stellar game for the Tigers. -r igers Swamp Bulldogs Central 33—Heights 18 A 11 closed their Basket Ball season by defeating the Heights 1-ul.dogs by the score of 33 to 18. This game decided the City High School championship and was an easy victory for the Tigers. During the first half the game was slow and the score was kept low bv the determined efforts of the Bulldog defense; but the Tigers would not ' be held and found the -asket for 4 held goals and shot 4 free throws. At the half the Tigers were leading 12 to 5. The playing of the second half was much faster and the Tigers went wild working their short passing game at will, scoring 21 more points before the game ended. At the final whistle the 1 igers were leading 33 to 18. Sawyer was high point man finding the basket for 11 points. Hucherson ran him close with 10 points.

Central T t 9 2 .818 Captain Rudolph Coles Louise Joines Sponsor There are many honors to be won in High School; honors for the studious, positions on the staffs of school publications, and scholarships; honors for the popular in student organizations and activities; and honors for the beauties in the school annual; but the most coveted honor, bestowed on the favorite possessing just the proper blend of all these qualities, is that of sponsoring one of Central High School ' s teams. It was indeed a source of pleasure and satisfaction to the team, the faculty, the student body, and their friends to point out Miss Louise Joines as track sponsor. We are proud that she was our sponsor; we appreciate her loyalty and her devotion to splendid ideals of the pleasures, privileges, duties and respon¬ sibilities of her position. To her the team was not just a factor of victory, but a group of delightfully human individuals, each one of whom was her special charge. Louise and her maids. Misses Lay Campbell. Gladys Dunman. Bernice Didiot, Norma Smith, Myrtle Mae Camp, Elizabeth John, were representatives of the best in Central High School. Track Summary Track Season had not ended when this book went to press, but in early meets the team proved that it was one of the best that has ever represented Central on the track. The team led by Coach Bright and Captain Rudy Coles has been working l ard since early February and its work is certainly showing in the meets, because from a squad of weak material at the start of training, it has developed itself into a smooth running, fast machine, which is able to win at all meets. At the Piney-Woods meet staged bv Steven F. Austin College at Nacog¬ doches, Central took first place and the relay cup. At this meet nearly all large schools in southeast Texas took part. This showing made by the team proved that it was strong and able to hold its own against anv opponent. At the Rice invitation meet, the Tigers again came out on top winning from a field of over thirty teams. The relay team again took first place. The team brought the high point cup to Central for the second straight year and also the relay cup. At A. M. on the 21 st of April Central came within Y 2 points of taking first place, although handicapped by the absence of Sawyer and Tigner, who were unable to make the trip. Again Central track relay team took first place from a field that included the best teams in the State. The team is composed of Rudy Coles, Captain; Andy Sawyer, Lee Alex¬ ander, Joseph Wells, Herbert Tigner, James Boyles, Joe Walters, Curtis Everett, Robt. Smith, Baxter Moody, Russell Wolfe, Marion Mobley, Wallace Berry, Aubrey Calvin. If the team keeps on as it is going now, it should win the State champion¬ ship. Central again carried off all honors in the district meet, held at Rice field on the twenty-fourth and fifth, scoring 32 points to 21 scored by Humble their nearest opponent. The meet was Central’s from start to finish. They scored 17 points in the field events Friday and ran the total to 32 in the track finals Saturday. Again the Tiger relay team composed of Boyles, Wells, Alexander, and Coles finished first, leading the entire field by fifty yards. Sawyer’s work in the field events greatly boosted Central’s total. Central will be represented in everv event at Austin when the time for the State meet comes. “Yea Tigers ” win that championship Boys ' Tennis Team Mr. Kin g— Coa c h Charles Sloan .

To write a club history is to relate facts and not to tell stories. Were it allowed the Club Historian to tell what he expects of his fellow Club mem¬ bers we could picture to you numbers of Gladstones and Wilsons, but this is not permitted. The Club has furnished speakers for many school activities and held three important debates with out of town debating teams. The first outside debate of the season was held February 27th. 1925, with the debating team of the Humble High School in Humble and resulted in a victory for the Jeffersonians. Mr. N. B. Brunson and Mr. Francis M. Barler represented the Club in this debate. A return debate was held in Houston on March 6th, with the team from Humble; Mr. Francis M. Barler and Mr. Francis Fischei represented the Club, debating on the opposite side of the question from that which the Jeffersonians represented in the first debate with Humble, the question being: “Resolved, That the United States Should Grant the Phil- lipine Islands their Independence at the End of a Period of Five Years.” The ninth semi-annual banquet of the Jeffersonians was held at the Brazos Hotel on Thursday evening, February 26, 1925, to inaugurate the officers elected for the Spring term. Among the guests of the Club were Mr. Branden- burger and Mr. H. W. Harris, Sponsor of the Athenian Debating Club, and his wife. On Friday evening, March 13 , 1925 ' j the Jeffersonians debated the Forum Debating Club of the Waco High School at the Taylor School Auditorium in Houston, on the affirmative side of the question: “Resolved, That the United States Should Grant the Phillipine Islands their Independence at the end of a Period of Five Years;” Mr. Francis M. Barler and Mr. Lawrence Brewer representing the (dub. Music was furnished for the occasion by the Central High School Orchestra under the direction of Miss Carrie Will Coffman. The Waco debaters won the decision. On Friday evening, April 10th, the First Annual contest between the Athenian Debating Club and the Jeffersonians in declamation, oratory and debating was held. Mr. Gerard Morgenstern and Mr. Raymond H. Moers represented the Club in declamation and Mr. N. B. Brunson represented the Club in oratory. Mr. Francis M. Barler and Mr. Lawrence Brewer repre¬ sented the Club in debating, on the negative side of the question: Resolved, “That the United States Should Grant the Phillipine Islands their Inde¬ pendence at the End of a Period of Five Years.” The Athenian representatives were awarded first place in declamation and oratory but the team representing the Jeffersonians in debating were adjudged to have won the debating contest and the Club was presented with a silver mounted gavel, with the name of the Club engraved upon it; thus main¬ taining the high standard set by the Club in former years and adding to that long line of victories which so justly makes the Club famous. Mr. Francis M. Barler was the representative of the Club on the debating team entered by Central High School in the District Contest of the Interscholastic Ueague Meet held at Rice Institute April 24 th and 25 th. A team representing the Jeffersonians won this contest last year and went to Austin for the semi¬ finals. We feel much encouraged at the success attained by the Club during the year 1924-25 and look forward with a great deal of hope and encouragement to succeeding years and believe that the Jeffersonians have an even brighter future.

Dramatic Fling On the nights of March 5th and 6th. the Girl Reserves of Central ven¬ tured forth behind the footlights, and presented “A Couple o r Curious Court¬ ships.” Roger Gray Haile as the privilege-robbed father and husband raved and ranted in realistic fashion, while his fond spouse, Alene Vandeveer, pleaded in vain. Anna, the maid, indefatigable reader of dime novels, helped to com¬ plicate the plot with her unfailing susceptibility, while Bill the Gardener, de¬ picted by Eggerton Robb, was the chief object of her amorous glances. Into this household of Brewer came one Reggie DePeyster, a “deuth of a fellow” in his own words, seeking the hand of Eunice Brewer, the red-headed (and in every sense of the word too) daughter of the above mentioned irritable father. Altho this romance was not going so smoothly, the other daughter of the house. Samantha had found a lost love in the disguise of Michael the butler. Everything really did come out nicely in the end, however, even if it was, as Reggie said, All mixed up like a bottle of chow-chow.” Mary Louise Heyne gave a creditable performance of the maid, and handled the difficult Irish brogue with dexterity. Beverly Fonville as Saman¬ tha and Margaret Helen Grant as Eunice played up well as the two sisters, and quarreled with true vehemence. And last but not least Clarence Taylor, playing the role of Michael the butler alias Jack Thornton, gave the plot a touch of humor with his wig, that always seemed to be off at the wrong time. On the whole, the Girl Reserves did themselves proud, putting on a well staged show with good scenery, and diversion between acts in the form of a chorus and a reading. Senior Struggle Close on the heels of the Mid-Winter Final Hop, followed a nondescript “dollar dance” sponsored by the Senior class. A motley crowd assembled: Central students, Rice stews, evening gowns, sport suits, and greatly in the minority but nevertheles, holding their own, one or two brave members of the faculty. Mark Westcott and his music makers did their best, so with our usual tact, we’ll put the blame on the rotten accoustics of Turnverin Mall. “ o ' s Football Dance One of the most enjoyable affairs of the Christmas season was the dance given in honor of Central’s football team by Jowyter Jones. Summoned by cleverest of invitations the guests appeared in the Bender ball room on the night of December the twentieth, nineteen hundred and twenty-four, and ably assisted by Edide’s Syncopators, proceeded to put Terpsichore to shame. For those who did not bring their own refreshments, (that remark not being without subtlety) there was punch in profusion, and for those who could not entertain their partners between dances (still subtle), there were horns and hats. 1 here is, of course, an end to all good things, and although the antici¬ pation of the fight for the back seat was alluring, no one left without the pleasantest of memories of that night, and that joyous “chairman of the cheers.” Aegis Banquet The banquet given by the Supreme Council for the Fall Term Aegis Staff was a most enjoyable affair; it was at the Brazos Hotel. Large baskets filled with daisies, and silver candle sticks with orange tapers formed the decorations for the occasion. Miss Nancy Forbes was an excellent toast mistress and managed to keep the banquet lively at all times. Among the guests were Dr. and Mrs. E. E. Oberholtzer, Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Black, and Mr. W. J. Moyes. Senior Picnic What picnic, be it a success or a failure has not gone off accompanied by a rain shower? The Senior picnic of the Midwinter Class was no excep¬ tion to the rule, nor was it in any sense of the word a failure. At 8:00 o’clock, Friday morning January 16th, about twenty members out of a total of one hundred and sixteen of the class, with a few friends and a great many chaperones collected and made the trip in cars to Sylvan They arrived at their destination at ten o’clock, ready for the Party. As there was an interval between the time of their coming and the time for lunch, they indulged in the very dignified game of lumping rope with the chaperones fighting for their turns. As they were becoming too heated in the game, and as the rain by then had set in good, they assembled in the pavilion, where lunch was served. For those that were able to leave the table, there was the dance floor ready with Eddie’s Svncopaters providing the music. The dancing continued tdl 4 :oo o’clock, when the chaperones “rounded” them up for the trip home¬ ward. Mid-Winter Final Hop The January seniors staged a good dance in spite of its early finish. Hie ceiling of the University Club seemed a veritable cloud of silver balloons, while the Rice Collegians were concealed on an island rose garden in the midst of a stormy sea of dancers. The class colors, rose and silver were used in the light and wall decorations, and confetti and serpentine added to the general confusion. Punch was ladled throughout the evening by dusky servitors Although the affair was scheduled to last until two o’clock. “Home Sweet Home” was played at one, followed by a chorus of disappointed “Why do you compare Sarah’s head to a door knob?” “—So easy to turn.” He: “I’m a little stiff from polo.” She: “You don’t say! I have some friends living ' there.” “Why name your boy Sears Roebuck?” “Because he is of the male order.” “Why is this fellow called a ‘Knight of the Garter?’ ” “Because he is one of the King’s chief supporters. ' Sweet sixteen : “Do you reallv love me? Naughty 19: Well. I’ve tried as hard as I could. “Did you ever hear the story of the Golden Fleece?” “No. Do they bite?” “I see where Poli Bara is using Corn Whiskey in the movies.’ “What for?” “To make’r reel.” “Is he lazy?” “Lazy? Why he ' s so lazy he rides in a Ford car in order to save the effort of knocking the ashes off his cigar.” She: “I ' m sorry, but I can’t return your ring.” Fie: “Well, then, just give me the pawn ticket.” TAKE IT ALONG ? Customer: “I would like to see some¬ thing Scotch.” Salesman: “She, not so loud. Come in the back of the store with me.” “I’ll get to the bottom of this yet, ' said Chas. Shofner, as he fell down the coal chute. I punished you merely to show my love for you,“ said the fond father, after chas¬ tisement. “T-that’s all right,” sobbed the small boy, “but it’s a g-good thing for you I ain’t big enough to return your love.— that’s all.” FAMOUS SAYINGS OF FAMOUS PEOPLE. Mr. Johnson: 1 love the ladies.

Hoover: “Aw, you tickled me first.” GEOMETRIC EICVRE5 J lie ant was standing ' by the body of a dead horse. Overhead the sun was beating down mercilessly from a clear blue sky. 1 he ant had looked at the carcass wonderingly. Suddenly a man dropped some corn whiskey near the ant. The ant sniffed the fumes, wiggled his antennae, and hummed a ditty. He then drank one of the drops of whiskey. He licked his chops, his head swam, his eyes blurred, his antics became spiffy. He shivered his thorax and shimmied his antennae. 1 hen he took another drink. Seizing the carcass of the dead horse by its head, he said. “Come on, big boy. let ' s go home.” 1st flea (on Post Toastie box): “What’s your hurry?” 2nd flea: “Don’t you see that sign, ' Tear along the edge?’ ” Gladys Dunman: “Is that the gown you’re going to wear to the senior hop ?” have Campbell: No dear, so far 1 have decided on nothing Wanted—To he on time to class just once. Walter Putnam. It was election day at Central and Harry Mc¬ Cormick was witnessing the event. Mr. Moyes came along and said, “Harry, you wouldn’t sell your vote, would you?” “No, sir, 1 sure wouldn’t, but if any boy run¬ ning for office was to give me two bits, 1 would vote for him out of common gratitude.” UNDISCOVERED. Breathes there a man with soul so dead who ne’er to himself hath said, as he banged his toe upon the bed: XX!! EX—?

I told you not to take that bath last night.” “Why so sad?” “I just told the Prof, to mark my words.” “And did he?” “Yeah, with a zero.” GERALDINE SAYS— I wore a racy evening gown Direct from Paris, France. The chaperons would stare at me, When ' round their way I ' d dance. The girls all gasped, the boys all looked— I gave them all an eyeful. I don’t see why it caused a stir, Lor it was just a trifle. Donald Pool: “Tate, is that snow?” Tate Simpson: “No, fool, that’s just the angels dandruff.” Abie: “Mommer, what do cows live out” Momma: “Fodder, Abie.” Abie: “Oi, I didn’t think papa w ' as so gen¬ erous.” RECIPROCITY. 1 kept a diary in my youth, And in a way absurd Wrote down in undiluted truth What day by day occurred. All my flirtations, all my sprees, 1 wrote out in detail The many, many darling “shes” 1 noted without fail. 1 wed—she found the book and knew The awful life I’d had But then—I found she’d kept one too And it was just as bad. “What are they playing now?” “Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.” “What! Have we missed the other eight?” “Are you interested in art?” “Not well enough to call him bv his first name.” “The 21st day of December is the shortest day in the year.” “Yes,” mused the young thing in black velvet and ermine jacket,—“and the longest night.” A woman bought one of the new dresses-— “with the back to the front effect.” S he went to a dance, and there met a short sighted acquain¬ tance,—he shook hands with her shoulder blades.

(WitiV f BRUCE KATTMAN M4KING A TOUCHDOWN RUDD COLES READ FOR A PASS ' Laugh and the World Laughs with You, Weep, ami You Weep Alone.” Irvin D. Sacks An Editorial Heretofore it has been our opinion that the complaining of the editor of a high school annual is but a habit. However, since passing through the terrors of putting out the 1925 “Cosmos,” we wish to extend to all editors of the “Cosmos” our sincerest sympathy—it is a JOB and one without reward save the ' criticism of the unrelenting student body. To secure the interest and cooperation of the students of Central seemed very, very difficult. There were times even when fair gods and goddesses had to be implored to have their pictures made. But now that the book has gone to press, we wish to forget the difficulties and remember only that we want all Centralites to like our book. To several persons not on the Staff we are greatly indebted for assist¬ ance in our undertaking. Of course, Mr. Moyes was forever ready to help us. And to Miss Pat¬ terson, Miss Hagen, and Miss Staggs goes the honor of being the best faculty advisors in the world. They were always willing to give of their valuable ideas and of their valuable assistance. They were the easiest persons imaginable to get along with, and the Staff found great pleasure in being associated with them. To Miss Duvernoy we owe thanks for the use of her list of graduates ; to Mrs. McBlain of the Wheat Studio; we owe gratitude for her invaluable assistance in finding pictures for all the graduates on Miss Duvernoy’s list. To Herbert Caldwell and Tate Simpson and to Mr. Sherman belongs much credit for their help in mounting the Art lay-outs. Without Irvin Sacks and. Alton Nance our advertising material would have been much less. These boys were untiring in their efforts, and cannot be commended too highly for their work. And without Mrs. Burk and her assistants our typing would not have existed. Even this very editorial would never have reached you. There are two others to whom we wish to express our appreciation. They are everybody’s friends, Mrs. McDougall and Miss Burns. They have done us more favors than almost anybody else. Not one request of the Staff was ever refused by either of them. They were always chasing us for the telephone. How we do appreciate their help. We’ll refrain from mentioning those who always said “Manana” when asked about material due today. Well, here’s your year book, Central, we’ve done our best—and we chal¬ lenge next year’s Staff to do better. THE STAFF.
