Mr. Van Lieu Minor, our faculty adviser, has contributed much effort and time to make this Delphian a success. The value of his assistance is inestimable. We have received splendid co-operation from the Art Depart- ment under the direction of Miss Wadsworth and Miss Ward. Much of the work which in former years has been done outside of Central has been cared for en- tirely by our own art classes this year. This work is a great credit to the Art Department as well as a substantial aid to the Delphian. The literary section of the book has been made possible by the contribu- tions and constructive criticism from the English De- partment. 4 Qnejjiffjrjj Klang 5.9-1.5 fn The members of this year's Delphian Staff have labored to produce a l923 annual which will measure up, in ev- ery particular, to the high standard set in previous Delphians. It has sought to add also some worth-while distinct- ive features. The Staff has felt keenly the re- sponsibility of shouldering the task of presenting an annual which will have real intrinsic value, and which will in future years serve its purpose of con- tinually instilling into its readers the Central High School spirit. The Del- phian serves as the connecting link between graduates and members of the student body, and if this year's annual accomplishes anything in the direction of keeping stronger the bonds between the Alumni and their school, we feel that its mission has been fulfilled. rrvxncas HoRcRoss W 5 V, lMe ..

We will always carry in the future which looms before us his ideals of school democracy and of fair play. His untiring efforts in our behalf during our high school course have been a continual inspira- tion to us. 7 Qual Hi ani IN MEMORIAIVI On December 4 I922 lVlr.

A. Fisher High School spirit is the collective reflection of the individual attitude of the students toward their school. ' It manifests itself in a multitude of ways. While at- tendance at games is a very good indication of the status of school spirit, it is not the only one. l have always felt that there is a depth to this subject that has not been reached or comprehended by many. The old grad who stated at a banquet the other night: Think what our school has done for us! We ought to be willing to do more for her, had the right idea. He understands school spirit best who has given of his time and ability to his school. There is a certain intangible feeling of respect and loyalty that places the best in us at the whole-hearted ser- vice of our school involved in this thing of school spirit. He who has the moral courage-it is a greater thing, by the way, than physical courage-to defend his school when it is falsely assailedg he who will refrain from doing things, little in themselves, perhaps, which he knows will bring down his school in the estimation of the outsider: he who sees that school spirit is something bequeathed to us from an honorable past-something to be passed on better than it came to us-he, be he teacher, or pupil, who realizes that school spirit is bigger and vastly more of consequence than he or his affairs, and yet appreciates that he has a part in it, understands school spirit. lt is entirely divorced from any one personality, in that it does not depend on any one person: yet each one must do his part or there is no school spirit. Students of Central are to be congratulated on keeping alive this precious fire during two hectic years of expansion. But in another year we will be in our New Building so long talked of and looked forward to. If we do not then have the best school in the country it will be our fault. 9 - 4 Q- - , 1- 10 ,AIT .49 LINOLEUM CUT BY LEONEL MILLER, I2 A N. XB' Robert Ayers, Physics. Anna F. Bigelow, Mathematics.

I6 THE GREATER CENTRAL By Frederick Shillito A wonderful span of four years of joys is about to be ended for the members of the graduating class of l923, and we are leaving this institution with genuine feelings of regret. How we will miss the games, the social functions. the hundred and one activities of Central. yes. and the classes. tool Everything connected in the least way with Central seems to be calling and beckoning us back and we hate to turn from our old life and face what the future will bring. Of course, our plans for coming months and years appear before our eyes colorful and promising but it seems that no other school or organization can ever mean so much to us or can endear itself in our affections any more than Central has in the short years we have been a part of it. A Greater Central looms in the immediate future and into the hands of you who remain here we leave unfinished work to be car- ried further. V Already the new buildings are under way and will soon be finished and in condition for occupancy. These buildings will give the students of the high school wonderful equipment with which to pursue any line of education that they may choose. The actual work, however, is entirely upi to the students. A fine school spirit is necessary for this work and students must enter upon athletics, dramatics, journalism or any other school activity in a spirit of doing something for their school, Everyone must pull together and there can be no sluggards. Building a Greater Central is the stern duty of the remaining undergraduates. C Next year and in years to come Central High School scholars will be given greater opportunities in all lines than ever before. The Greater Central will afford its students the use of every kind of modern school equipment that money can buy. The people of Kalamazoo who have raised thousands of dollars to give the local high school such equip- ment demand a return on the investment equal to or greater than the original amount. So it is up to you to make your high school career a success so that the people of Kala- mazoo will be satisfied that the money that they have invested in you has not been wasted. Remember that the public is watching you and is sure to criticise if it thinks its money is not being put to good use. Central can not continue on the up-grade unless the public is behind it. ln your hands, therefore, rests the future of Central. . 17 4 '4 1 J' M, 1 ,, 4,1 A 4 THE STUDENT 'COUNCIL By Thelma O'Connell ln the fall of l9I9 the Student Council was introduced by Mr. Fisher. As the name implies, the Council's purpose is to organize school activities and to promote school spirit. When the Council first met in September this year, it was composed of the Presidents of the various classes, three representatives from each of the two upper classes, and one from each of the lower classes, the editor of the Delphian, the editor of the News, and the officers of the Council, chosen by the members of the Council from the student body. The Council appointed committees which have been responsible for the chapels and assemblies.. A system of hall patrolling was organized for the purpose of avoiding con- gestion in the halls during the fifth and sixth hours. This system proved unsuccessful, and was dispensed with. Conditions were remedied when the half-day session ceased at the end of the first term. The major part of the Council's work for the second term was to keep the halls free from congestion, to plan chapels and assemblies, to bring before the Board of Education an appeal for an Athletic Field, and to put on an Honor Banquet at the end of the year. They also took steps to have Kalamazoo Central join in an honorary scholarship organ- ization, national in its scope. Thegofiicers for the first semester this year were: James McLaughlin, President: Frederick Shillito, Vice-President: Thelma O'Connell, Secretary. These officers were re- elected for the second semester. The members of the Council for the year are: James McLaughlin, Marion Van Horn, Gould Fox, and Ardell Olds from the Senior Classg Lawrence Sternfield, Mary Gleason, Douglas Doubleday, and Kathryn Harris from the junior Classy Henry Ford and Mary Carolyn Kettle from the Sophomore Classy Hale Van Cleve editor of the News: Ledlie DeBow, representative oiibhe editorial staff of the Delphiang and Frederick Shillito and Thelma O'Connell, officers of the Council. . 19 ' 50 'YEARS ZAGOI ' CHARLES F.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY By Ledlie DeBow Let us look back to the fall of l9l9. The eventful day for enrollment had arrived, and the doors of Central were open to admit the incoming juveniles--f The Freshmen - destined to be the Seniors cf l923. During the first week, the upper classmen greatly annoyed and confused these newcomers by misdirecting them in their search for various class rooms, and Room 50 in particular. This is the usual initiatory procedure with freshies and affords the upper classmen much amusement. However, this group soon became familiar with the system of travelling then in vogue and the location of the differ- ent station stops, and, though only in the infancy of their High School career, soon became an active part of the student body. Early in the fall a class meeting was held and the following officers were elected: Cameron Foley, President: Mai Evans, Vice-President: jack Berry, Secretary and Treas- urer: and Frederick Shillito, Student Council Representative. Under their leadership the class started a brilliant career, giving a successful party,,and winning distinction in ninth grade soccer and basketball. A ' The year passed rapidly and, the following September, our timid and innocent Freshies of l9l9, their number greatly augmented by students who had completed theirx Freshman year in other schools of the city, returned as full-fledged Sophomores. Miss Milham became the Faculty Advisor and accentuated a good class spirit with her abundance of enthusiasm. The class elected the following officers: Frederick Shillito, President: Betty Campbell, Vice-President, Eleanore Garrett, Secretary-Treasurer: and James Mc- Laughlin, Student Council Representative. The first opportunity for displaying class spirit came on Armistice Day, when ninety per cent of the class marched in the parade, the Sophomore girls distinguishing them- selves by making a large banner to be used on this occasion. A party was planned for December but was given up due to the temporary ban placed on dancing. .Two new societies were organized by the Sophomores during the year: The Central-Y Club com- posed of girl boosters for Central: and the Lincoln Literary Society, a boys' club for debating and public speaking. Certain Sophomores distinguished themselves in athletics and two members of the class made the debating team. One sad event occurred during the Sophomore year: namely, the death of Frederick Werner, one of the most prominent class members. Returning in the fall of l92l as juniors, the class entered with zeal, into all school activities. At the first class meeting the following ofhcers were elected: james McLaughlin, President: Douglas Doubleday, Vice-President: Ardell ,Olds, Secretary-Treasurer: and Florence Martin and Frederick Shillito, Student Council Representatives. Miss Pinckney was chosen as Faculty Advisor for the year. During the summer had occurred the death of Helen Hill, and so, for a second time, the class lost one of its popular and dearly be- loved members. V Never before had our class been so well represented in school activities. On the football team were Norcross, Westnedge, Nlasselink, and Rosenbaum, while Vander Lay and Shillito did good track work. -P 47 ,gi Central entered the State Debating League and two of the three team members were Juniors, namely: McLaughlin and DeBow. The class was also well represented on the News staff, the editor and live co-workers being juniors. The Me-Nu-Ne-Cans, the Athenaeides, and the Gavel admitted many of this class as members, and other juniors belonged to the Hi-Y and such musical organizations as the Mandolin Club and the High School Orchestra. The year closed with the party given by the juniors in honor of the Seniors, which was said to be the most successful affair of l922. With the opening of the school in September, this group of students, some 2l4 in number, returned, with the idea strongly prevalent that this, their Senior year, should, of all their four years spent in High School, be the most pleasant and profitable one. The following oflicers were elected: James McLaughlin, President, Eleanore Garrett, Vice-President: Howard Blake, Secretary-Treasurer, and Marian Van Horn, Gould Fox, and Ardell Olds, Student Council Representatives. Active participation in all school activities began at once. ln athletics we were represented by Blake, Norcross, Curtis, Squires, LaCrone, Newland, and Van Zandt in football while on the basketball team were Westnedge, Early and Scott. The track men elected Frederick Shillito captain and work began at once for the Battle Creek meet. Tryouts for debating came early in the fall and resulted in the election of Ledlie DeBow as captain of the State team. Two other Seniors, namely, George McDonald and Sylvan Rosenbaum. were members of the team. The class has always been a loyal booster for the school publication, The High School News, and has several members on the present staff, Hale Van Cleve and Willard Andrus being Editors. The class has also been responsible for a fine Lyceum Lecture Course, offering splen- did numbers to the school and the public as well. With a keen desire to produce the best Senior Play ever presented to a Kalamazoo audience, the cast worked diligently from November until the middle of January under the direction of Mr. Howard Chenery, with the result that The Charm School, was considered the best amateur performance ever staged in the city. Furthermore, from a financial standpoint it surpassed any other school undertaking. Societies have all been active during the year, the Me-Nu-Ne-Cans, the Athenaeides, the Art Club, and the Gavel, each sponsoring a party which added much to the year's enjoyment. The Senior reception held during Commencement week was undoubtedly the most successful social event of the year. While we are experiencing the joy of accomplishment, yet, mingled with that joy is a sadness at leaving scenes and faces which have grown dear to us during our four years spent at Central. The success of our school does not depend upon any one class or any one activity, but upon the co-operation of each member of our student body. From l9I9 when we entered upon our High School careers, on through our four years of High School associa- tion, we have aimed to be a loyal, patriotic part of the whole and to boost for our Central High. . 48 'bx xxx?

' O THE REVIEW OF BEST SELLERS, MARCH, 1936 Etiquette on the Stage, by our eminent musician, Professor Earl Dickover, is in- teresting to the layman because it has woven through it the story of the great pianist's life. ' V One of Harper Brothers most recent publications is a small volume of poems by Evelyn Sausaman. This is Miss Sausamarfs first published work, and bids fair to make her a place in the literary world. Mr. Francis Masselink's book, The Evil Effect of Jazz on the Child Mind, is one which should receive the serious attention of all parents. A New Method of Photography, by Dr. Floyd Boys is a volume which has proven popular with amateurs. It is intriguing, and demands careful study, however. If you want to spend an enjoyable evening start ','Travels With a Pierce-Arrow, by Donald Boudeman. It may not start easily, but neither did the car, the author assures us. Cnce under way, the performance of one is as satisfactory as that of the other. The Mystic lsles of Behring Straits, by Ralph johnson, is written by one who can speak with authority on that subject, as he has spent four years in the Frozen North. usilks and Satinsn is the name of a new fashion monthly edited by Miss Isabel Mearns. ln it are displayed all this talented designefs creations. My Autobiography, by Armando Bertolino, has created quite a bit of enthusiastic comment among critics. 53 M. lin v Y Lv .

The first session was opened with a prayer by the Reverend Dorothea Dowd. Our class president, James McLaughlin, now Chairman of the National Republican Committee, then gave a few words of greeting, after which the secretary, Howard Blake, called the roll and read the minutes of the last meeting. This is the first meeting in five years which Mr. Blake has been able to attend, owing to his absence in the Phillipines, where he has been employed as Supervisor of Athletics in the public schools. Mr. DeBow then mounted the rostrum, and with that easy grace and eloquence which has won for him a name in the Senate, read letters of regret from certain members of the class who were unable to attend. Among them was one from Dr. Frederick Shillito, physician to the President of the United States. Dr. Shillito expressed his deep sorrow at not being able to be present and said that because the President had a sore throat he did not deem it advisable for him to leave Washington at this critical time. This is the most bitter pill l've ever had to swallow, said the Doctor, in closing. We were glad to hear from Charles Norcross, who wrote us from far away dreamy Egypt, where he is pursuing his duties as archaeologist. He did not call them duties, however, but pleasures, for he is wholly in love with his work. Said Professor Norcross, ul remember what a deep impression the discovery, years ago, of old King Tut's tomb made upon my childish mind. Since then l have always been lured by the ancient and mystic. Helen Gauntlett, Circuit Court Judge, was busy on a case in Detroit and therefore unable to be present. The rest of the afternoon was devoted to speeches and entertainments. Mrs. Early, nee Frances Van Avery, gave a most interesting talk on What Happens Before the- Cur- tain Goes Up. Mrs. Early has just completed a successful season in New York, playing in The Square. Mr. Early was unable to be present because business in Wall Street detained him. Mr. Lawrence Early has recently joined his cousin as junior partner. 'One person whom we were especially glad to hear from was Edmond Hoben, chief construction engineer of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Waterway Project. Willard Andrus, cartoonist for the Chicago Tribune gave an amusing chalk talk. As usual on such occasions, many items of interest were gathered in the course of the meeting. We were all interested to learn that: Marjorie Spaulding and Grace Hutchins are running a Girls' Camp in the Adiron- dacks. Fletcher Carveth is advertising manager for the New York Times. Janet McKenzie is physical director at Wellesley. Thelma Reniff is teaching kindergarten. lrene Troub and Catherine Ehrmann have taken up social settlement work. Dorothy Allen is a dressmaker.

Later in the afternoon tea was served in the cafeteria, and then we all repaired to the Kalamazoo Hotel where Nina Vander Weele, the proprietress, served dinner. That evening a reception was held in the gymnasium. Frances Noble and her orchestra fur- nished the music. Yesterday, at the end of an entertaining afternoon, the class voted to appropriate 55,000 to Merrill Squiers for carrying on his worthy missionary work among the Fiji lslanders. It was voted that the collection and management of this money be left to Richard Wiersma, Los Angeles banker. - After an unanimous vote to meet again next year at thesame place and date, the class adjourned. 56 D15 D D U U E1 D El D U-ULU U D EI-IJ D U X I2 BIXBY Mum AYRET HQXPLXEY H' GOULD STUDIO .SHOPPE HARVEY BOEKHOUT 'FOX REAL PROP MARY DETECTIVE BROKER ATTORNEY ESTATE DORGAN BRADY AGENCY AT'LAW BUS INE55 EMPLOYME .SCHOOL DR.

After a few months' visit in this country she will sail for Lon- don, where she has obtained from the British Government a position as diplo- matic interpreter. One of the most popular places for Kalamazoo people staying in California this winter is the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Chase, in Los Angeles. Mrs. Chase will be remembered as Miss Eileen Otis. It is rumored that their prolonged stay in that city is clue to the fact that Cecil de Mille is holding before Mr. Chase a very tempting proposition. If Charlie accepts let Rudolf look to his laurels. The Misses Mary Henshaw and Doro- thy Burrell are conducting a state-wide campaign in Massachusetts to raise 520,- 000 for the building of a new laboratory at their Botanical Camp in that state. Miss Carolyn Howard and her troupe of ballet dancers, of which many are graduates of Central High School, have entered upon their second season at the Blackstone Theatre, Chicago, in a pleasing and unique program of song and dance. The troupe includes the Misses Doris Newell, Lodema Ensing, Madalyn Collig- non, Ethel Perry, Helen Smith, Margaret Wise, and Una Kingsbury. Peter Vanderlay is here visiting friends. Mr. Vanderlay comes from California, where he has an orange ranch. Mr. Carl Van Eck has added his name to the list of railroad magnates by the pur- chase of the Fruit Belt Line. Friends of Miss l..ucile Bates and Miss l..ela Barron have just received word that the two young ladies have taken up work as nurses in St. Luke's Hospital, Chicago. Mr. Charles Beckley and Adrian Beek- man, of the B. Gt B Lumber Company, are wintering in Florida. - V Donald Larsen, Kalamazoo's distin- guished explorer, leaves next month on an expedition to the North Pole. Yesterday morning Jack Fleugel was presented with a gold medal by the stu- dents of Central High School in their chapel for his almost human intelligence in discovering a fire which had started in the basement of the building. A wealthy citizen of Kalamazoo, who wishes to remain incognito, has presented a large pipe-organ to the High School. It has been placed in the niche left for it on the stage of the auditorium. A concert will be given tomorrow evening, and it is expected that the large room will be filled with students and interested citizens. The Band of Central High School has recently completed the fund for uniforms which was started back in '23, and will appear in their new regalia at the next baseball game. i Mr. Fisher has passed a severe decree against students of Central High School sitting in their aeroplanes between classes. The rule was passed after one of the truant schoolboys had led the principal a merry chase through the air during a severe thunder storm. SPEAKING OF MONEY'S WINGS 60 TI-IE CLASS WILL OF TI-IE CLASS OF 1923 We, the Seniors, of Central High School, city of Kalamazoo, state of Michigan, being of sound, broad, feta., mind and superior memory and understanding fthough some doubt it, do make our last will and testament in the manner following: ,lack Curtis leaves his red sweater to Franklin Vermeulen. Richard Wiersma leaves his latest research on perpetual motion to be further devel- oped by Tim Meulenberg. Violet Ringsmith leaves her childish ways to Harriet Thoms. Charles Chase's debonair manner and heart-smashing beauty are bequeathed to George Davis. All locker keys are left to those students in C. H. S. who can keep them and who can find same when wanted. Toby Campbell leaves the completion of his education until next year. Sylvan Rosenbaum and George McDonald do bequeath their unconquerable thirst for argument to Richard Paulson. Elizabeth Stone and Grace Beebe bestow their diligence for studying upon any two juniors who can carry the load. We, as a class, leave our pre-eminence on the board walk between buildings to the juniors and we also leave to Mr. Ayers a mouthful of methylparaisoprophylmetahydroxy- hexahyclrobenzole. . To the Freshmen are left the cuds of gum adhering to the desks around Central, and to the girls of same class the numerous lost kerchiefs and worn out green sweaters. This is a very liberal bequest. Dorothy Boylan leaves her story writing ability to Kathryn Harris, who is to use it as a foundation for scenario writing. Hale Van Cleve and Frederick Shillito bestow the joys of an editor's life upon Douglas Doubleday. Harold Boekhout leaves his space in the Delphian for his picture. The Seniors leave their school savings deposits to establish a Sarah Elder scholarship to Oxford. Carolyn .Howard bequeaths her red hairy and Floyd Boys, as a soldierly duty, the blue of his trueness as a Scout: and request a junior, Marie Dorenbos, to add her snowy locks thereto-all three to be presented to the School Board as an appropriation for a flag to be placed on the flagpole of the new building when it is finished. 4' P We, the Class of '23, hereby appoint our M' if ,, .... . 5-Kb F432 gg, faithful advisor during our senior year, Miss QR 5' 'lair-H Ass? ,ghxglkjssi 'Vs 6',f'!5fi'13'f5i- +5255 ' . 1 W5 -ass L1 LAN U? ,J Qwaivfw .. 1, -f a'ffNf-.4 . - H Q.-,-1' 'fe-5.

This unusual play, Alice Duer Miller's and Robert Milton's delightful comedy of boarding school life, proved a wise selection, and rendition, eclipsed anything that has yet been attempted in the dramatic line in this institution. There is something about The Charm School which makes it an ideal play for ama- teur production. lr contains nothing which is socially unconventional in situation, and every character is a delightful person without offensive or indelicate speech or act. Free from broad or intense characterization, an amateur cast can take the comedy and do so much with it that the final impression in a presentation is captivating and professional. The various members of the Senior class selected by Mr. Howard Chenery to present the piece. entered whole-heartedlv into their task, and for nine weeks, worked strenu- ously lo provide a performance which would meet the dramatic standards of quality established through previous productions. Whether they outdid themselves in their hopes and expectations is not a question which may be properly raised at this time, but that they did render two of the most finished amateur performances ever witnessed by a local audience is a fact which will live in the history of Central high school. With an ideal cast much can be accomplished in the development of a finished performance, but the excellency of finish is quite dependent upon direction: direction which is consistent and detailed and comes from an understanding of stage technique and business. During the two performances it was plainly evident that the Charm School Cast was not without this quality in generous portions, for every moment proved effective and convincing. They moved with such understanding of the demands placed upon them that naturalness could be called the crowning achievement of The Charm School produc- tion. Things of the theatre deserve to be theatrical, and by winning the theatrical criti- cism it did, this cast of amateurs established itself as one of the best which ever appeared on a local stage.

During our Junior year we have shown up excellently in athletics. The following were out for football: Wicks, Dick Curtis, Fleck, Berry, Monroe, Lewis, Westgate, Dun- dore, Gilbert, Ray Morley, Bob Morley and C-lezen. The last six named and Hackney and Taylor were out for basketball, also. H The Track and Cross-country teams were made up of practically Juniors only. The following . ' t hird year men helped make up the track team: Sternfield, Beardsley, Wicks, Monroe, Gilbert, Beckley, Buck, Thurston, DeYoung, Bradford and Waltz. The latter five were also out for the cross-country team. The Juniors have been prominent in more than athletics. The News, a large factor in high school life, boasts five members on its staff who are Juniors. They are Julia joy, Mary Gleason, Evelyn Corstange, Thornton Travis and Douglas Doubleday. Fully as important as its activities is the loyalty of a student body. Here the juniors have set a notable example. One of the members of the class, awarded a prize for selling the greatest number of season football tickets, turned the money back to the coach with the request that he buy some needed article for the squad. Such loyalty sets a high standard for both the class and the school. The junior Party was held in the latter part of the fall term. It afforded much pleasure to the students and recent alumni of Central High. 65 cn ,cn 4, f,,X f AW?

To many people it is something definite and concrete. To others it is vague and unexplainable. What is democracy? You may ask the question a hundred times, and receive a hundred different answers. Lincoln said, speaking of a political democracy, that it was a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. However, james Russell Lowell, in his speech on democracy explains that it is not a form of government but a spirit. Nevertheless, whatever defini- tion is given, one'and all will agree that democracy is an ideal which gives to all an equal opportunity. 'The question arises, ls it possible or practical for a pure democracy to exist? Until everyone has an equal chance it will be impossible to have a pure democ- racy, and as long as people are human there will continue to be a certain amount of class distinction and what is commonly called Usnobbishnessf' Let us study the question of Central High School. ln what ways do we find it a democratic institution, and where is democracy lacking? In the first. place, the fact that Central is a public school and open to all, makes it formed on a fundamentally democratic principle. Of course, among certain groups of Centralites there is a tendency to follow the leader, usually a student whose financial rating is particularly high. With some students there exists a feeling of class distinction, although this group is a decided minority. On the other hand, the majority of Central students are friendly and democratic, and if at times they do not seem so, I believe it is from thoughtlessness rather than actual intent. The government of Central is essentially democratic. We have a Student Council, the members of which are chosen by the student body and by various clubs. Although the Student Council has perhaps been rather inactive, and has not quite come up to the expectations of the students, it is because there is little need of changing the present order of affairs. The faculty is, as a whole, democratic. Some student who perhaps has a special grievance,.may say-of a certain teacher, She had it in for meg but if the matter were carefully investigated, l believe that student would find that the teacher tried to be fair in the estimate of his ability, even though it did not seem so to him. ln conclusion we return again to the definition of democracy-Man equal opportunity for all. Is this true of Central as a whole or is it a school where only the importance of the wealthy or the very clever is felt? Because democracy is an ideal, and can exist in the fullest sense only under ideal conditions it can never be thoroughly carried out. For this reason it is easy to find undemocratic elements in Central: but for the most part, in athletics, .social life, scholastic opportunities, and numerous other phases l believe Central is an institution trying to live up to our American principle which is as old as Time itself -democracy. 73 X X LINOLEUM CUT BY DOROTHY GORMAN, I0 B SOPHOIVIORE CLASS HISTORY By Treva Huff The Sophomore Class has had a varied experience during its two years at Central High. ln February, l92l, we approached the High School building with many misgiv- ings as to what was in store for us: however, after searching out class rooms and teachers we finally became adjusted. This year we came back feeling like veterans and willingly helped bewildered Freshmen over our old fields. At our first class meeting, held Oct. ll, l923, the following officers were elected: President, Henry Fordg Vice-President, Harold Vander Salmg Secretary and Treasurer, Treva Huffg Student Council Representative, Mary Caroline Kettle. We have taken keen interest in all school activities, especially athletics. A football team was organized and not only beat the Freshmen, but came out victor in half of all the games played. This class has some very earnest and conscientious workers and we feel sure it will make itself known in the future. For the help and suggestions of our class advisors, Miss Sima and Mr. Walkottrn, the class extends its heartiest appreciation. 71 L CLASS I 0-A QBELOWJ ASS CL 0-B , I vsp BO CA S AS CL I0-A 1 J CLASS 0-B K , . 4 W f Q, VRWQX 1 X f uma X -qi z fv wif W 1f39zF fulnv BY?

Three scholarships to colleges were given to the national winners, and the victor in each state received a bronze medal. The essay written by Miss Grace Beebe, of Central High School, and published here, won the highest honors in the state of Michigan. Miss Beebe has not only distinguished herself, but has added much to the glory of her school. We are proud to claim her as a member of the class of '23. - , . .'B HOW THE AMERICAN LEGION CA4Ni BEST SERVE THE NATION . A-iii By Grace Beebe We learn from the preamble of the Constitution of the American Legion that the Legion upholds the maintenance of Iaw and order, is for one hundred percent Americanism and wishes fby being helpful to others, to consecrate the comradeship of those men who gave their Iives for us. Americanism is a big subject, divided into many sub-topics and from them I have chosen, How to understand America as the subject of this theme. To understand America it is first necessary to know and understand the English language: for English was decreed the Ianguage of the American people, by fate. English is the medium of instruction and trade in America. Therefore it is essential for every foreigner who comes to this country and who desires to become an American citizen to get instruction in English. The Legion could be a help here by providing a place where these foreigners can go and study the language. It would take money, but if the ques- tion was presented in the right way I am very sure the project would be a success for the Legion and a help for the foreigners. Another great necessity at the present time is a course for foreigners who wish to become citizens. People come here from all ranks and classes of Europe and Asia. Some of these people are educated and others are not. Those who are not educated should be 81 I I 4 Ja-.A taught the fundamentals of the American Government and United States History, so that when they become are then a part. Citizenship is ers. To be a citizen of the United States becomes a citizen of the United States, he joke. The Legion When a man becomes a citizen of the citizens they will not be ignorant about the the country of which they ca and should not be considered so by foreign- is greater than to be a king. When a person should look upon it as an honor and not as a not a free gift in Ameri can influence people to respect their citizenship and not joke about it. United States, he must immediately assume the responsibilities of a citizen. Responsibilities are the seeds, and rights, the fruits of citizenshipg without the first, the latter is impossible. The new citizen must take up the responsibility of voting and look to bettering the condition of his fellowmen and the im- provement of his country. He must look after the education of his children ro that they will grow up to make good citizens: he must teach them to respect law and order and the rights of other people. If a man does these things then he is upholding his right to be a citizen. If the Legion will use its great power and influence to bring these things about, it will be a great step towards one hundred per cent Americanism for which the Legion stands. DID YOU EVER SEE. THEM LOOK LIKE THIS? THE JANITOR The janitor's hours are full and are long, But no wonder he faces the day with a song: As he starts the long day e're the coming of light He is whisked to his task in a big Willys-Knight. He has heat and an office and comfort and all, He's the boss of the stairway and king of the hall. He may lounge in the window and seem fast asleep But he stirs quite a dust-when he starts out to sweep. 82 THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF ARIVIANDO BERTOLINO It is not often that a graduating class has such an interesting member, as has the class of l923 in Armando Bertolino. Beyond a doubt, he has had a wider experience than any other person in the class. He has written his autobiography which we take pleasure in publishing here. I was born on the tenth of June,---, at the village of Sandigliano, near Biella, in Vercelli, Piedmont, Italy. My father was descended from a respectable race of farmers, who tilled the owner's soil for one half of the products, in the village of Dorzano about twelve miles south from my birth place. I-Ie was considered well educated, having passed the third grade, which was much in those days for country folk. My mother, on the other hand, did not know how to write even her own name, but she boasted with pride-and this when we were grown-that she had read the whole Mass Book, which had about three hundred pages. Her lack of education was due in part to the fact that her mother had died when her youngest daughter-who was my mother-- was three years oldg in part because she lived too far from the school, and in part because of the poor, rude, discouraging methods that the Sisters used in teaching in schools. Three years after my parents were married they left the farm and moved to San- digliano, where my father had secured a steady job to mend the provincial road. His work consisted of taking care of about two miles of the provincial road on either side- north and south, of the village. I-Ie died when I was two and one half years old, leaving a family behind him of seven, besides my mother. A few days afterward my youngest sister died. God has helped me, my mother used to say to us in her later days, for with a baby to take care of, the winning of our daily bread would have been harder. She was a hard worker and worked in the fields from sunrise to sunset. My eldest brother and sister were placed on a farm as servants. We all went through the third grade but that was all that my only brother and four sisters attained or cared to attain. Soon after I passed the third grade we moved to Biella-then a booming industrial city of 25,000 inhabitants-now about the size of Kalamazoo. Here my sisters went to work in the cotton factories, my mother kept the house, and I was an apprentice mechanic. My pay consisted of twenty cents a week, for ten hours a day, six and a half days a week and a few punches or kicks from the workers to stimulate me, whenever they fancied that I was not producing enough work. I soon got tired of this delightful treatment and for a change I went to serve on a farm. I had a good master--perhaps the best man in the village-always happy, very religious, and honest. But his mistress was a bad woman and mean to her servants. She gave me at times moulded bread to eat for breakfast. I was engaged for a year at thirty lire per year, a pair of cotton clothes each semester-if they thought that I had earned it-and, above all good food-as good as they ate. Before the end of six months my mother found out-through some one of her friends, for I would never have complained to her, knowing well that I had to earn at least my own living--about my mistreatment and took me home. This mistreatment was not so bad as it seems for it taught me a good lesson which reflects throughout all my life, but this I shall tell later. Returning to the city I went immediately to work as a stonemason's and bricklayer's helper. I got three cents an hour to start. I carried mortar with a steel pail. This I 71 lliii 83 ,.J T used to swing on my right shoulder, hold it on level with one hand and get hold of the ladder with the other while climbing some fifty or sixty steps. Sometimes mortar had to be carried up to the fifth floor. There was no time to stop on the way although the load was heavier than myself. Besides, as mortar settled down, the water came to the top of it and would run down either my neck or my back. This caused the peeling of the skin from my neck and the destroying of clothes, for the lime contained in mortar burns things. ln winter I always attended the evening school. As it was hard for me to get money from my mother to buy books ffor she did not deem it worth while to spend money on what she believed useless things, I had devised a way by which I did not need to ask her for any money. This was the way: I figured less hours of work on days that rained in part, and also a few cents less per day of what I earned. Of course this gave me plenty of money and she never found it out for I always burned my pay envelope before I got home. Besides she never dreamed that I cheated her, but it was all for the best and Ne- cessity knows no laws. ln this way I could afford to take private lessons in music on the clarinet and also to buy me an instrument. I played with Biella's Municipal City Band for two years. l emigrated when I was eighteen years old, to Modane, France but I was surprised to receive two cents less per hour than I got in my home town. Two weeks later l took a direct train through Chambera, Geneva, to Lausanne, Switzerland, where l knew there was a big demand for common laborers at four francs fS.80j a day. It was just after the settlement of a long strike: most workers had left the city and the contractors had to finish their buildings by the time agreed. The following year there was to be a great Lausanne lnter- national Fair, which lasted for two years. By working in the day time and by playing music in the evening with the local bands, l earned more wealth than l ever dreamed of: in fact I never earned so much either before or ever since. Unluckily for me the Italo-Turkish War broke out and at my mother's request I joined the Italian Army. I played with the Seventy-Second Italian Infantry Band for two years, graduated from the sixth grade in Mantua's Public School, passed the fourth year of clarinet school, Mantua School of Music, June I9l3. Next November I was furloughed to the army reserve. I landed in New York City, January IO, l9l4, joined the United States Army on September 30, l9l4, in which I served for six years-two and a half in France and -Ger- many. l returned to the United States in the fall of l9l9 and was stationed in Camp Taylor, Kentucky, where I attended the Camp Taylor Educational School. l started in the second grade and got to the sixth grade within a month. Besides, I was attending the Business School, Motor-Cycle and Motor Truck Drivers' School in the day time, and l..ouisville's Public School in the evening. I got discharged in March l920, a month later than my time was due because I was traveling in the States of Indiana and Illinois to entertain people for recruiting pur- poses. l played with the Sixth Field Artillery Band for six years. l enrolled in Central High School, Kalamazoo, Michigan, on September, l920, and hope to graduate next June, enter Kalamazoo College next fall, and Ann Arbor University in l925, for l expect to become a Doctor of Medicine. , - 4. 84 SOME CHINESE ESSAYS AT ENGLISH By Leo Nome We have had in our midst, for some time, an interesting example of what perseverance and hard work can accomplish, in the person of Leo Nome. Leo was born in Kantung, China, June l, l904, and came over to San Francisco with his uncle at the age of I3. He has won his way through school thus far with nothing but determination to back him, and in spite of the fact that he has lived in various cities including Battle Creek, Detroit, and Kalamazoo. Six years ago he knew no English. The following essays were written by him as English exercises. Could you gain as good a command of Chi- nese in the same time and under like conditions? DREAM OF HIS FORTUNATE The most glory he feeling was dreaming over his fortunate of finding the way to the golden land. As he nap under the large palm trees, during the sultry noon of june. His bare dark brown foot, set toes upward on the curb stone. The curbstone almost shrowcl him that you can't see him except his face to the above. He look jauntily and lean his head back on the tree with a dark yellow cloth cap, which the patent leather frontlet was gone and beneath the ragged edge of the cap fell down over his forehead and templer and ears, a tangled of light black hair, slightly cover blot of mud. His eye lids were loosely covered eyeball and the corner of his mouth slightly arched, his cheek little bulged, nose flatted and wide. The whole was a singularly winning face with happy and joy. This was because in his mind was full of happiness for that he finding his way to go to the golden land. The golden land is a land of gold, and gold within the land. THE POTTERY SHOP Across the court house was a pottery shop, facing toward the Rose Street. The street were crowd parking with cars. The appearance of the window of this shop are well disposed with curiosity toys. Such as the make face dolls and little clay monkeys and so on with the other. V The door of this place are low and dark as the night, but is painted with green like that it nature look. On the doorway there stand a man. His apparent are very impress- ive to a person. If one saw him might say that this man soon will kill someone. Yet interior of his shop well decorated with colorful lights. The light compares with the rainbow shows no difference between the two. Closely to the wall which the shelves are found it full filled with chinaware of different nationalities. The chinaware on the shelves are so shining that give you uncomfortable seem. The pictures on these chinawares were the picture of the olden people, dress in different from the modern time. ' JUST BEFORE GOING T0 SLEEP The most funny act he made is that he sat near the fireplace. while the cuckoo came out from his nest and utter Cuckoo, one, two, three. He sat very silent, with his head like a machine in motion, back and forth. His eye lids were rise and fall like the flash of the lightening. Yawning not often that he make, but if he ever yawn it make someone think he will never shut his mouth again. And on the side of his eye, little drop of rain were slid. It was a tiresome looking on his face, and yet very pleasant in his mind, because his mind soon lead away and find the happiness field. 85 4 w 5 L-Align SQH 'E P 0 tg O vi I :mill I L-J Y , Qboffl NX .

I--id S6 SEVEN MINUTES A-FOOT IN CENTRAL By Janetta Sa ge rs About one minute to three o'cIock P. IVI. finds me just emerging from the Library which is situated quite high up. It is on the three-hundred Floor. The bell will not ring until three o'clock. People in the Library are dismissed a little early in order to avoid the rush on the stairway. However I am just about to alight on the two hundred Hoor when the bell sounds and immediately all the doors along the hall spring open as if by magic. Lines of pupils emerge who are walking along in groups of twos, threes and fours. By degrees the crowd in two lines moves downward while one in single file is coming up. All of a sudden we come to a stop. I soon discover the cause: someone who had reached the landing had dropped her books and a number of those who were near her are gather- ing up the contents. Soon I am on my way but for only a very short time. The progress of the line is again stopped, this time because of the addition to it of pe'ople from the one hundred floor. While waiting at this point I can readily see the statue of the headless, winged Victory which occupies a conspicuous place in the corner of the hall. At last feeling quite relieved I reach the main floor. Here I attempt to satisfy my thirst but do not succeed, for when I push down on the little lever a miniature geyser bursts forth and soon the floor around the fountain is rather damp. I leave this building in safety but am just turning the corner of the Gymnasium when I meet face to face with a small and surprised person. I judge from his stature and childish expression that he is either a high school freshman or a Vine Street School pupil. He seems to feel quite bumped and encounters me with the words: Why don't you blow your horn when you go around the corners? I now set forth through the open very hopefully thinking my obstacles are over for a time. On the contrary they have scarcely begun. Two large trucks depositing coal into the heating plant are parked across the stretch between the two buildings. Before I reach the Vine Street building I am compelled to jump out of the path of a third truck which is now approaching. While I am dodging my way in and out through all this traffic in addition to the human traffic which is already coming from the other direction, I narrowly escape falling on a patch of ice partially covered with snow. Finally I arrive, shivering and fatigued, at the door of the Vine Street building. Here I see something which causes me to give a little sigh. just within there is a mob which seems to be making no headway, but sways back and forth. In time the crowd clisperses and I find myself going along the main hall of the Vine Street building between two rows of lockers which line the hall on either side. These, in addition to the lack of windows, make the hall dusky. Above the noise caused by the students passing I can hear a hammer beating on an anvil, the buzz of saws, and a general whirr of ma- chinery. Three floors to go and less than a minute to do it in. In the course of six flights I collide with three persons, one of these is a grotesque looking spectacle, clad in a blue chambray shirt, and white socks, with his hair disarranged and a string of gayly colored beads around his neck. He is carefully carrying an egg in his hand. I am just starting up the last flight when the bell begins to ring. As I dash on a frightened dog is forced to jump out of my way, and perspiring and panting I arrive just as the door of Room 3ll is being closed. On entering I am informed that the bell has rung and a permit from the office must be secured in order that I be admitted. 87 gl I nn- -I 88 L ll... AN AUGUST AFTERNOON By Ledlie DeBow It is one of those sultry August days, when the air is so filled with dust that one can scarcely breathe and when the mugginess in the atmosphere proclaims the coming of rain, probably a shower in the early part of the evening. To sit still is most comfortable, and to walk only leaves you the warmer when you come to a halt. The house is very quiet and warm within and I have sought relief on the ground beneath the great chestnut that stands in the door-yard. The sun beats steadily down upon the dry, dusty road, and I see rapidly moving heat waves ascending from its level. The birds have sought shelter in the near-by woodlands, and I miss their cheerful singing. The cattle have wandered to the brook, to wade in its refreshing watersg and the chickens have left their scratching in the yard to seek shelter from the sweltering sun. Even the mowers have left their work unfinished in the fields. Indeed it seems to be the one idea, to get out of the blis- tering heat. I raise myself upon my elbow, and look about. Far off to the south, l spy the outlines of a thick wood. At once it occurs to me that I should make this my haunt for the afternoon. Oftentimes l have seen the woods from a distance, but I have never actually been in them. Somehow, this very fact makes me more than eager to be off. Snatching up my cap from the doorstep, and passing by the well-house, that I may take a last cool drink. I start down the road. My feet, coming down upon the road-bed raise little clouds of dust which linger a moment in mid air, and then settle back, there being not the slightest stir of breeze to waft them away. The grass by the roadside is as dry as the hay in a winter's loft, and the occasional shade afforded by a bordering tree or two is as grateful as the oasis is to the desert traveler. Feet slip into rods and rods into miles before the woods loom up before me Who knows but that the inhabitants of this place have been notified of my approach and of the rest that I am seeking? For, surely, they are all out to greet me. Just at the entrance of the timber a large fox squirrel sits upon a low hanging branch of oak and chatters away, nodding his head from one side to the other. Into my face creeps what. I am sure, is the first smile of the day, and I look up as much as to say, You rascal, what are you chattering about? The trees grow thick overhead and the ground is covered with an abundance of mosses, of grasses, and of lichens of the most beautiful varieties. From somewhere beyond, comes the musical sound of running water. I am elatedp This is a find, and l plunge on into the woods with hastened steps. Here I stop to pocket a grey green lichen, here to pick an unusually large fern-leaf, or to scoop up a piece of moss covered with quaint seed sars. 'Now l pause to look for the Warbler whose singing l hear overhead, or to hark to the call of a distant cardinal and the answering wh'stle of its mate. A little farther on I come upon a nest of wild canaries in a low growing bush. To one who loves nature as I do it will readily be seen that nothing could be more luring to one who is tired and wearied by a hot August day, than this woodland. Further and fu'ther I go, until at last, I come to the brook, and Ohl what a brook it isl There it is, winding here and there, around one tree and out past another, shallow and wide in some places, and deep and narrow in others. Great weeping willows border the banks, their drooping branches almost touching their own shadows in the water. With a 89 4 1 my-A L.4m..... sigh of approval, I sink down upon the bank. Schools of minnows speed swiftly up and down the stream. A water snake lies curled up on the opposite bank, lazily sunning itself, it alone not minding the heat. All is still save the tripling of the brook on its stony bot- tom and the calls of the birds to their mates. Suddenly I awake to the realization that it is growing late. I look at my watch and am more than startled to find that it is after six o'clock. I rise, and brush the grass from my clothes and turn to go. Retracing my steps I see some things I had not noticed before. Perhaps I am not taking the same path all the way back. Here is the track of a cow, and that-well, some squirrel has been digging there-probably storing away its winter food, thrifty thing that it is. Minutes speed by and I reach a little knoll at the edge of the thicket. Here I turn, and lo, how grand a sight meets my eyes. In the west, the sun still lingers, a half circle of Haming, reddish, orangeg it lingers, for just a moment, to bid farewell until it shall break on the new dawn. The trees of the wood are as black bars marking its surface, and the rays that filter through the open spaces turn the brook to flowing gold. A few steps- hark, what was that? I listen and again it comesg the sound of a human voice, borne down from the north end of the woods and carried along by echo upon echo, audible perhaps to those miles away. A moment's hesitation and surprise to think that I was not alone in the woods, and I turn to go. I wonder who it could have been? Perhaps it was another boy, who, like me, had learned to love nature and the out-of-doors and who, even like myself, had sought a haven of rest and had found it here in nature's own temple. The sun is gone, and so, with the eventide upon me, I bid the place adieu, and follow the lowing cattle homeward bound. AN IF FOR MEN By E. G. If you could learn to dance like Buster Glezen, And still debate like our Champ, Led DeBowg If you could train like Blakey through the season, And still enjoy a hot fudge sunclae now: If you could pack a cleat like Louie Gilbert And run the mile in track like Garland Buckg Pull down the A's and B's like Frederick Shillitog From you, I know, the girls will never duck. lf you could dress as neat as Douglas Doubleday, Edit the News as well as Hale Monroe, Hand a line as well as Bubby Brenner, You'll surely be successful, that I know. So, if you can dress to make yourself attractive, Yet just forget that patent-leather hairg If you can swim, and row, be strong, and active Yet just forget that tres' conceited air: You'Il be one whom the girls will all adore A man whom all the world will bow before. 90 1 1 4 -l-l V, I B 92 4.41.3 -....g. OUR SCHOLASTIC LEADERS . ln publishing the names and pictures of the scholastic leaders of Central, the Delphian for the first time has honored those people who have made enviable academic records for themselves as a result of real endeavor. Only Seniors were eligible to be chosen and the marks of their entire four year course were carefully taken into consideration. Portraits have been arranged in the order of ranking. No student included has received a grade below B or its equivalent in any subject during any of the eight semesters in high school. All are students from the academic course except Arclell Olds who is from the commer- cial course. 93 1 1 1 l J F W, S 94 plug.. ,,, Qi, .SUCIETTE l. OUR SOCIAL LIFE By Dorothy Boylan That Central's students believe that more can be accomplished by an organization than by an individual is proven by the many clubs and societies in the school. There are organizations of every kind and description. The purpose of each organization is to carry out a certain program of work or study each year, to promote good fellowship and school spirit among the students, and also to provide wholesome entertainmnet for those students desiring it. As some societies require a high standard of scholarship for entrance they act as an incentive for high marks on the part of students desiring to enter them. Perhaps two of the most active clubs are the Central-Y Club for girls and Hi-Y for boys. The activities of the Central-Y Club have not been confined to the school. By its gifts to the poor at Thanksgiving and Christmas and by its annual May-Morning Breakfast it has made Central mean something to many people not associated with the school. During the past year the Hi-Y Club has put on for its members a series of lectures, on choosing a profession. These were given by the men who knew their subject, usually from experience, and who knew how to talk to boys. We hope that these lectures have helped many square and round pegs to find their proper holes. Central must be a very tuneful place judging from the number of musical organizations. There is the Boys' Mandolin Club, known all over the state for its delightful concerts, and the Girls' Mandolin Club, which though yet in its infancy, has rich prospects. The Band and the Orchestra are two organizations most essential to school spirit. Those students interested in botany have formed a club to promote an interest in the outdoors and in nature. If Athos, Porthos, or Aramis should happen into the French room on certain Monday nights, they would find themselves right at home, for it's there where the French Club meets. However if they should wander down to the radio room they would be at a perfect loss. The members of that club are more fortunate for, al- though they may not be educated in sword play, they know all about oscillations, vario- meters, and amplifiers. If you are a student who is interested in art you'll find a club quite to your liking in the Art Club or its younger brother the Sketch Club, while if your taste runs to liter- ature there is the Me-Nu-Ne-Can Literary Society and the Athenaeides Literary Society for girls, and for the boys, the Gavel. These clubs hold meetings every other Monday night and reports on books or dramas are given. The two most important organizations in the school carry on their efficient work with little noise: they are the News Staff and the Student Council. What would our school be without a News or a Student Council? Certainly that isn't a very pleasing topic to think about: so let's change the subject. Nearly all the societies have taken advantage of the opportunity offered them to give parties or assemblies at some time through the year in the gymnasium. These dances have been chaperoned by parents and teachers and have proven popular with the students who care for that kind of entertainment. We, the Senior Class, who are leaving these societies, hope' that they may continue their good work in the future and that they may even grow bigger and better. O 95 V' j . i 96 THE ATHENAEIDES SOCIETY By Eileen Otis ln I9I0 a group of twelve girls under the leadership of Miss Sarah Elder decided to form a literary society. The outcome was the Athenaeides Society. The society was founded with four main objects in mind, which the society is still proud to uphold. These objects are: The promotion of scholarship, the cultivation of a literary taste, the encouragement of freedom in discussion, and the furthering of good fel- lowship. It is with these objects in view that we have set our standard of scholarship at two B's and two C's for the semester preceding the date of entrance. Last fall as soon as the new members had been taken in, we began the study of the modern short story. This has proved not only educational but also extremely interesting. The method was to have one girl review the story itself, and another girl outline the life of the author. The meetings are held semi-monthly, either at school or at the home of the mem- bers. Money to carry on the activities of the society has been earned this past year from sandwich sales during lunch hours, the selling of hot-dogs at several football games in the fall, and the Athenaeides dance which was held in the High School gymnasium on February 9th. ' ' Altogether, the members feel that this past year has been a most successful one. The officers of the fall term were: President, Dorothy Boylang Vice-President, janet McKenzie, Secretary, Eileen Otisg Treasurer, Winifred Oggelg Chaplain, Helen Mon- ningh. For the present term the ol'Hcers are: President, Esther Pratt: Vice-President, Marian Van Horn: Secretary, Lela Barron: Treasurer, Lucile Batesg Chaplain, Elizabeth Stone. Other members of the society are: Helen Stone, Ardell Olds, Margaret Palmer, Eloise Rickman, Ruth Driver, Marian Van Horn, Margaret Wise, Carolyn Howard, Grace Hutchins, Frances Van Avery, Virginia Snow, Ethel Perry, Mary Vaupre, Katherine Har- ris, Helen Smith, Katherine Field, Margaret McKenzie, Harriet Thoms, janet Robertson and Virginia Forsythe. 1 A '97 ..'. E 98 4.., THE RADIO CLUB OF CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL By Bruce Goldsmith and John Benedict ' The Radio Club of l923 has surpassed all its previous records in its achievements. The club was founded in the spring of l9l9. ln the fall of l920 a fifteen panel DeForest honeycomb receiving set and a small transmitter were purchased for the club by the Board of Education. Mr. Day, the advisor at that time, kept the club going and, despite the refusal of the set to receive, gave much advantageous theoretical radio knowl- edge. Upon the death of Mr. Day, which was deeply regretted by the club, Mr. Ayres became the Advisor. Mr. Ayres gained a requisition from the Board of Education with which were assem- bled a single circuit tuner, with a tickler regeneration, and a detector, 3 stage amplifier unit. The DeForest set was cut down to a six panel set with 2 variable condensers for tuning. The detector amplifier unit may be used with either the honeycomb or single circuit set by the use of a master switch. The honeycomb and also the single circuit set may be tuned to bring in either the amateur signals from all over the country, the fone from the numerous broadcasting stations, or the commercial stations in this continent. The DeForest set also receives long wave stations all over the world. Messages from the German station, POZ, at Nauen have been copied. Also other European stations have been heard regularly, such as OUI, Elivese, Germanyg Welsh MUUQ and French Fl.. in Paris, to say nothing of many high powered stations in our own hemisphere. The original transmitter was never put into operation since two necessary condens- ers could not be purchased. But under the vigorous supervision of Mr. Ayres the neces- sary parts were acquired and the transmitter is now working. It is a Paragon Radio Tele- fone set, which will operate either as a radio-telefone, continuous-wave, or tone-trans- mitter. The club is now a member of the A. R. R. L. fAmerican Radio Relay Leaguel, an organization composed solely of amateurs who aid each other in relaying messages from one point to another. This relay may be only a short distance or across the continent. At present noon traffic fhandling of messages, is conducted with Battle Creek, Hol- land, Detroit, and Grand Rapids. ln the evening stations at greater distances are worked, messages being received and transmitted. Cards, telling how our signals were heard, are received from many sections of the country. There are four licensed operators in the club: Bruce Goldsmith, Don Barringer, John Penniman, and Leonard Dornbush. The station received a license, and its call is BDCY. The officers for the year were: first semester, John Henshaw, Pres.: Bruce Goldsmith, Vice-Pres.: John Benedict, Sec. and Treas.: second semester, Bruce Goldsmith, Pres., Charles Bock, Vice-Pres., John Benedict, Sec. and Treas. The members for the past year not previously mentioned Were: Edward Van Peenen, Donald Marshall, Fred Greene, John Shakespeare, john Hoben, Louis Haas, jack Monroe, Harvey VanArkel, Donald Richmond, Harold Campbell, Robert Goldsmith, Delno Hen- shaw, Alexander Barringer, Charles Norcross, John Doornbos, Leland Kelly, Richard Wiersma, Robert Zinn, Peter Vander Lay, Lester Maile, Kendall Bogart, Allan Stevens, George Harvey, Morlan Grandbois, Vern Piper, Edward Gilfillan, Donald Murphy. l 99 ...'.. 5, 100 DELPHIRH s ,f. lf' .. ,v D THE ME-NU-NE-CAN SOCIETY By Mary Gleason Nine years ago, November Il, an enthusiastic group of girls of Central High met in Room 47 to enter upon a new venture which time has proven very successful. At 4:30 the meeting was called with the object in view of organizing a club setting forth as its aim the promotion of three things-an interest in the best literature and well known places, an interchange of thought and social interests that would aid in the development of the right kind of character, and above all, the spirit of good friendship. The name Me-Nu-Ne-Can was adopted. The word is of indian origin meaning good friendsi' or friendship Ever since this meeting the society has willingly stuck to that name, thrived, and always endeavored to live up to its purpose. When a girl becomes a junior, she is eligible provided she has passed all her subjects Of the previous semester. The membership is limited to twenty-live girls from the junior and senior classes. During the year the society devotes considerable time to the study of Modern Drama dealing especially with the American phase. The programs followed are very instructive as well as entertaining. On one occasion the girls were entertained by an informal talk by Miss Bramble concerning her' studies abroad, Oxford, and other interest- ing places. The club has extended an invitation to Miss Tanis to address it and is very eagerly looking forward to this occasion, November I7 was a very bigi night for the society. One of the largest bonfires and pep meetings ever held in Central was successfully put over to cheer the boys for the battle at the Creek the next day. Following this a greater part of the crowd migrated to the gymnasium which, through the originality characteristic of the' club, was decor- ated as a football Held. The Me-Nu-Ne-Cans' Spring Ball is still a thing of the future, but the society has plenty to rely on to assure it another big success. At a recent meeting is was unanimously voted that there would be a house party some time in June at the summer cottage of Mary Gleason at South Haven. The officers for the fall semester were: Eleanore- Garrett, Presiclentg Frances Nichol- son, Vice-Presidentg Jessie Helm, Secretary: Kate Gerow, Treasurer. At the beginning of the second semester the customary election was held, resulting as follows: Virginia Stearns, Presidentg Frances Nicholson, Vice-President, Mary Gleason, Secretaryg Lois Eilers, Treasurerg Mildred Harris, Chaplain. The personnel of the present organization is: Leona Culver, Lois Eilers, Katherine Ehrman, Eleanore Garrett, Elizabeth Garrett, Kate Gerow, Mary Gleason, Virginia Hand- ley, Mildred Harris, Mary Evelyn Jackson, Julia joy, Loraine Lage, Beulah Miller, Kath- leen Mills, Elizabeth Moore, Tudy Moore, Frances Nicholson, Alta Riddle, Doris Robison jeanetta Sagers, Helen Saunders, Donavie Scott, Virginia Stearns, Irene Troub, Winifred Welsh, Charlotte Yaple. 11 ..-.. 4 . A Q 102 3. i., 9... THE ART CLUB By Vivienne Youngs In the fall of l922 the membership of the Art Club was somewhat diminished because of the many seniors who graduated in june. Consequently at a special meeting it was decided that the Club hold an open meeting for the purpose of giving the present and former Art students of Central an idea of our work. The affair took place in the Gymnasium. An illustrated talk was given by Miss Seidschlag, a talented artist from the Normal faculty, and the ever-popular Mandolin Club made its first appearance of the year. Refreshments and dancing concluded the program. Soon after several students were voted in, and then came the fun of treating them with molasses and flour, followed by oysters of the finest variety Cask themj, at the country home of Viola Sherwood. The advisors of the Club consist of: Miss Wadsworth, Miss Otten, ffirst semesterj, Miss Lussenden, fsecond semesterj, and Miss Ward. The Club's officers for the year have been: President, Vivienne Youngs: Vice-President, William Toland: Secretary, John Bentley,Uirst semester, and Treva Hufhfsecond semester, 3 and Treasurer, Vola Sherwood. 103 P' 104 L Q.. LE CLIOUE FRANCAIS By Evelyn Burke On the evening of january l4, I923, a group of French students met at the school to organize a French club. Their aim was to become better acquainted with the French language and more efficient in its use. Miss Mabley was chosen as advisor and has proven a very capable one. She has had the welfare of the club at heart and has helped it a great deal. Having been in France recently, she is able to tell the club many important facts, and it is expected the club will hear some very interesting talks before the close of the semester. A committee composed of Eleanore Garrett, Katherine Gerow, Grace Beebe, Lois Eilers, Helen Monningh, Evelyn Burke, and George Harvey was appointed to arrange for the meetings. Meetings have been held regularly every other Monday night. Informal discussions in French, French games, and several little sketches have formed part of the programs. A certain Romeo and Juliet scene was very well likedg also scenes from Monsieur Per- richon. Reports on various phases of French life, and French stories are expected to form a part of the program in the future. Each member will appear in a scene wholly original during the course of the semester. Of course the club is still in its infancy, but it has been very successful, and the members leaving it in june wish it the most hearty success for the next year. Any person having had a year of French is eligible to membership. The following officers were elected: Evelyn Burke, President: George L. Harvey, Vice-President: Helen Monningh, Secretary: Frederick Lacrone, Treasurer. The membership includes: Esther Pratt, George L. Harvey, Doris Hinckley, Evelyn Burke, Marion Wolverton, Elizabeth Stone, Winifred Welsh, Maude Blackman, Dorothy Shockley, Grace Beebe, Margaret Palmer, Arbutus Saddler, Allan Baker, Helen Mon- ningh, Donavie Scott, Lois Eilers, Dorothy johnson, Pauline Plating, Bernard Reed, Evelyn Corstange, Bernice Roodin, Katherine Harris, Irene Shapiro, Frederick LaCrone, and Katherine Gerow. 105 V W Y 1 L 1 - - , 106 . ,. 4 Ill ,1 -,.....,,,...

To be sure, it was only logical that the observer-should have dis- covered the fact that the Gavel was very inactive. It is doubtful if any were more wor- ried over this fact than a certain group of juniors who were hopeful of being given a coveted place in that society. But with the half day session, the crowded conditions, and the various other handicaps under which we were forced to work that semester, it was next to impossible for any society to carry out any extensive program. So for several months the Gavel was, indeed, inactive but not dead. However, it was not long destined to remain in its dormant stage and at the begin- ning of the spring term a meeting was held and the following fellows voted in: Edmond Hoben, Robert Krill, George MacDonald, Simon Rosenbaum, Howard Blake, Willard An- drus, Royce Glezen, Thornton Travis, Douglas Doubleday, Robert Bennett, Lawrence Stern- field. lt was not long after this meeting that, on a certain day, a bunch of fellows arrived at school in the morning, all blossomed out in work shirts, old pants, white socks, with string in place of shoe strings, with their hair badly mussed, and wearing an earring or a string of brightly colored beads, and to cap the climax each one carried an egg in his hip pocket. lf called upon during classes that day he must reply, l know, but l can't tell you. This served a triple purpose: as initiation, as advertising, and as a means of amusement for the school in general. The officers elected for the year are-Frederick Shillito, Presidentg Douglas Double- day, Vice-Presidentg and Edmond Hoben, Secretary and Treasurer. ' At the time of this writing plans are under way for a joint party to be given in the near future by the Gavel and some other Central society-an event which will undoubt- edly surpass all other social functions of the school year. The society is rapidly regaining its former title as Central's most active society. ln addition to the new members there were five fellows who are left from last year, namely: Frederick Shillito, James McLaughlin, Harvey Van Arkel, Francis Masselink, and Ledlie DeBow. It is largely through the efforts of these that the Gavel got on its feet again. 107 ...-.- THE BOTANY CLUB By Winifred McCamley ln October I92I an active group of young people met in Room 309 for the purpose of organizing a society known as The Botany Club. lts purpose is to gain knowledge and enjoyment in the Field of Botany. Any student who is studying Botany or has previously studied Botany is eligible for membership. The club is limited to thirty-five members. Meetings were held fortnightly in Room 309. The work of the fall term was a study of Forest Reservations and National Parks. Altogether we passed along most successfully last semester under the guidance of our President, Robert Krill, and our very capable advisor, Miss Pomeroy. Officers are elected each semester. Those chosen at the February election were: President, Dorothy Burrellg Vice-President, Thelma Reniffg Secretary, Mary Henshawg Treasurer, Theodore Hipp. The president appointed Helen Burrell chairman of the pro- gram committee. . Some of the splendid features of the year's program were informal talks by Mr. Ralph Kidder and Mr. Mark Smith. Many instructive and beneficial papers were presented by various members of the club. The membership of the club is composed of the following: Beatrice Becker Mary Henshaw Gerald Mccamley Edna Boers Theodore Hipp Doris Minor Helen Burrell Robert Krill Thelma Reniff Dorothy Burrell Loraine Lage Elizabeth Snow Anna jean Buswell Alice Luther Murl Van Peenen Mervin Draper Winifred Mccamley Vivian White 108 THE l922-l923 DEBATING SEASON By Mr. Weiss THE TEAM Ledlie DeBow-Captain. - Nay, if he take you in hand, sir, with an argument He'll bray you in a mortar. -Ben Johnson. Burke Bartlett. Much might be said on both sides. --Addison. George MacDonald. Whatever Sceptic could inquire for, For every why he had a wherefore. -Butler Sylvan Rosenbaum. ' For even though vanquished he could argue still. -Goldsmith. Robert Krill, Captain-elect. I-le'd prove a buzzard is no fowl. -Butler. Mark Smith. ln some places he draws the thread of his verbosity finer than the staples of his argument. -Gibbons. Little needs be said about the debate season for Central this year. Our arguers have taken on the best teams of the state and have won live out of six encounters. We lost to Hastings, a contender for the state championship, we won from South Bend, Normal High, Grand Rapids South, Marshall, and Allegan, last year's champions, and a contender for the same honor this year. A few quotations from those who heard the debates might justly describe the ability of our team. Professor Nykerk of Hope College remarked after the Allegan contest, The debate was of a higher standard than most college debates. Allegan's coach admitted, Kalamazoo's debate team is the best we have debated yet. 109 Q l .n-6.hg.g ,vi ,,,,, ,,, , 7,, THE HIGH SCHOOL NEWS By Frederick Shillito At the opening of school last September many difficulties faced the NEWS. School was under an entirely different schedule and no one could imagine weekly delivering copies to,students who were coming and going about as they pleased. Owing to Mr. Heathcote's departure, there was no experienced faculty advisor. The NEWS the semester before had been poorly backed by the student body and unless there was assur- ance of subscriptions it would be foolhardy for anyone to attempt to crowd the NEWS upon the students. ' It was decided by influential faculty members and students, however, that it was im- perative to have the NEWS as in former years in order to keep up school spirit. Mr. Fisher, who loyally boosted the NEWS all through the semester, secured Mr. Sherwood of the English department to act as faculty advisor, and from then on the NEWS was a certainty. Frederick Shillito, business manager of the year previous, was appointed editor- in-chief. Harvey VanArkel, who had worked as assistant business manager the semester before, was made business manager. lt was not long before the NEWS was well under way. After a carefully planned campaign a record breaking number of subscribers was signed up. Encouraged by this support of their fellow students, the staff members went at their work with unprecedented vim and it was not long before several experiments were being attempted which were decidedly successful. The NEWS was almost doubled in size and Hlled with real newsy stories. Also attention was given to make-up and a far sightlier NEWS was the result. Ledlie DeBow, Associate Editor, was an editorial writer whose work was of the high- est grade. Muriel Welch acted in the capacity of Special Editor and she handled many cf the more unusual or more important assignments. Although known as Dramatics Editor, Evelyn Corstange also did much of the special work or writing which would suddenly come to the attention of the Editor. To have members who have the ability to ri:e to the occasion is a real asset to any high school newspaper staff. Julia Joy and janet McKenzie took care of the personals and societies respectively and it is very much to their credit that few social affairs were not mentioned in the NEWS. Exchanges were handled by Eloise Rickman and never before had the NEWS such a long mailing list. Athletics were thoroughly covered by Douglas Doubleday, a promising young journalist, and Charles Chase, himself one of Central's greatest athletes. Simon Rosenbaum displayed rare genius in picking out witticisms and ably edited the famous Wise Talks by Si. The reporters, Frances Noble, Mary Gleason, Ardell Olds, and Thornton Travis did the bulk of the writing and covered all of the usual activities. Very few school matters escaped them and everything was presented in good newspaper form. The business end of the NEWS was handled faultlessly under the management of Harvey VanArkel, one of the hardest working and most conscientious Business Managers that the NEWS has ever had. For him, Gould Fox and l..aVerne Chase secured ads enough to make the NEWS a Hnancial success. David Eaton and Fletcher Carveth solved the problem of distributing the papers. Hours of hard work were given by Alethabell: Luedecking and Lillian Miller so that the copy might all be typed before reaching the printer's hands. ln February! the majority of the staff members left the NEWS on account of other school work. The members who did remain, however, furnished a splendid nucleus for Mr. Sherwood to build a new organization around. 111 Qoejyfzfj ng THE HIGH SCHOOL NEWS fSeconcl Semester, By Lucile Bates For seven years now, Central has been able to boast of her weekly publication, the News. She might well be proud of such a paper, for, during all of its existence, it has been one of the biggest factors she has known for the furthering of every worthwhile movement brought to her attention. The News has seemed like the pivot round which the school has swung, the embodiment of student sentiment. Recently, especially, with the over-crowded conditions at Central, has the News been of great benefit. It has been a means of communication between the students, an inspiration for higher scholarship, and one of the greatest aids in keeping up the school spirit. ln February, an entirely new staff took over the management of the News. Many of the members had never done work of this character before: nevertheless, each one worked zealously to maintain and better the high standard of the publication. They have tried to make the paper representative of the student body and to please everyone, by putting out as interesting a paper as they possibly could. The staff for the last semester was as follows: Editor, Hale Van Cleve: Associate Editor, Willard Andrusg Literary Editor, Lucile Bates: Society and Calendar, Eloise Rick- mang Personals, Julia joyg Humor, Simon Rosenbaum: Exchanges, Ruth Breeseg Art and Dramatics, Evelyn Corstangeg Reporters, Leona Culver, and Mary Gleason, Athletics, Thornton Travis: Business Manager, Douglas Doubleday, Advertising Manager, Marion Ellis, Circulation Manager, Fletcher Carveth: Ass't Circulation Manager, Henry Ford: Typists, Marguerite Princlle, Thelma jones, and Mildred De Planche. Not only to all of these students who put the best they had into the work, but also to Mr. Sherwood, their faculty advisor, does the News owe its appreciation. It is hoped that Central will always appreciate the inHuence which a paper of this sort, used to its best advantage, can wield in its student life. 113 1 N , P 114 THE HI-Y CLUB By Bernard Dowd The Hi-Y club of l923 has been a busy organization. With the purpose to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school andxcommunity high standards of Christian character, it has endeavored to be of use to the school. At the first meeting in September it was decided to split the club into two groups, one of lower and one of higher classmen, since the school was running on the half-day schedule. The officers elected were: for the senior group, Floyd Boys, presidentg Carl Van Peenan, secretary, Lawrence Early, treasurer: Robert Krill, head of the program committee, and Mr. Dewey, faculty advisor, for the junior group, Donald Rose, president: Donald Burgess, vice-president: Ed Persons, secretaryg and Edwin Oosterling, treasurer. ln the fall semester the senior group did a great deal of Work to get out a handbook of information for the students. Because insufficient advertising was obtained, the plans had to be given up for lack of Financial backing. There have been suppers once a month throughout the year at the Y. M, C. A. ln the fall Dr. Burnham of the Normal and judge Hollander spoke at a Father and Son banquet, and at another meeting, reports were given by three members sent as delegates to the State Older Boys' Conference at Battle Creek. The second semester a vocational campaign was carried on to give the fellows a better idea of how they must prepare for various professions. The first two talks were by Professor Hoekje of the Normal about the profession of teaching, and byi Mr. F. M. Hodge of the Kalamazoo Paper Company about the paper industry. Other subjects to be taken up for discussion and information include accounting, dentistry, medicine, law, engineering, retail business, banking, and railroading. Meetings were held between suppers the second semester for the purpose of group discussion on qustions of vital interest to High School fellows. Mr. Baldwin led the first discussion, which proved to be a lively one, on pool rooms and betting. Other questions to be discussed are smoking, card playing and dancing, up-to-date chivalry, and the High School fellow's relation to the Church. - 1 15 V K uf, N..- e Q., X,- THE CENTRAL Y CLUB By Esther Newton and Constance Palmer The Central Y Club was organized in the fall of 1920 under the leadership of Miss Bertha Blair, Girls' Work Secretary, and has had a flourishing existence ever since. Last fall because of the size of the club it was divided into two sections, the junior-Senior and Freshman-Sophomore groups. The purpose of the club is symbolized in the Y. W. C. A. triangle, Friendship to all, service for all, and Christian ideals in all. Each club holds two meetings a month, the program usually consisting of a talk by an outside speaker, a discussion of some problem by members, or an informal social time. The council is composed of officers and committee chairmen. It is responsible for carrying out the policies of the club, and puts each girl on a committee thus giving her a chance to feel herself a part of the club. This policy is especially suited to the club's purpose as it is a democratic organization open to all girls of the school. A mid-winter conference for council members of all clubs in Michigan was held in January at Grand Rapids, at which new ideas for the work were obtained. We were represented by twelve members chosen from both clubs. The club does not end with the school year but is held together during the summer by a conference, which consists of the delegates from four states and at which our club is represented. A fortnight a summer camp is also enjoyed by a number of the girls. Thanksgiving baskets for twenty families, Christmas parties for sixty poor children, and Easter baskets for forty ex-service men at Pine Crest, were the main features of the service work this year. The club enjoyed many good times throughout the year. Among them a delightful banquet held at the Baptist Church in the latter part of january, a gym party, a skating party and the Freshmen-Sophomore Boiling Pot. There is a group of advisors for the clubs, among whom are Miss Edith Cory, Miss Anna Bigelow, Miss Anne Sima, and several others not of the faculty. The officers for the junior-Senior division are: President, Helen Stone: Vice-President, Burdine Kuhnsg Secretary, Esther Newton, and Treasurer, Grace Hutchins. Those for the Freshman-Sophomore division are: President, June McAllisterg Vice-President, Albertine Monroeg Secretary, Constance Palrnerg and Treasurer, Marian Voke. 117 N 4 L ? 5 . l E 5 2 X . 4 H 118 EDELPHIHHE Photo by Dornbush SKETCH CLASS A new activity of Kalamazoo Central High School is the Sketch Class organized in March, l923 for the benefit of High School students who have a special talent for art.

V THE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL BAND By Raymond E. Dunn Personnel: Cornets-Earl Boodt, Floyd Shaw, Wallace Borgman, Wilbur Klos- terman, Richard Paulson, Fletcher Carney. Clarinets-Lyle Bresly, Armando Bertolino, Kermit Dawes, Floyd Boys, Lester Grant. Trombones-Fred LaCrone, Hubert Hill, Lawrence Houts. Saxaphones-Alexander Barringer, Harold Austin, Roscoe Snyder, Milford Lower, Russell Schoonmaker. Alto-Gordon Smith. Baritone-Charles Sanford. l Basses-Mervin Draper, Ward Sanford. Drums1Raymond E. Dunn, Theron Hague, Clinton Castor. 'Beyond a doubt, the Band may be placed among the peppiest of the organizations in Central. About two years ago the Band was reorganized under the directorship of Mr. Leslie Hanson. Reorganized, we say, because way back about twenty years ago, when the Band was first heard of, Central High School was much smaller than it is now, and so was unable to support such an organization. This year the Band has had a very able director in the person of Mr. Seary, to whom much credit is due for his leadership. The Band was present at the football and basketball games, putting the Old pepper into our representatives on the gridiron and court and instilling in the students that essential quality, school spirit. The Band has also taken a prominent part in school parades and other activities during the year. Besides giving the boys instruction and practice along musical lines, the Band has given them many good times, such as the trip to Battle Creek, where their efforts spurred their team on, even though in defeat. Since the beginning of the school year, the Band has been hot on the trail of uni- forms, an article which all well organized Bands should have. The funds for the uniforms were raised in various ways. The Band Benefit Concert, given by the Orchestra, and the basketball games held between the Faculty and High School teams, greatly increased the balance in the treasury. Donations by several High School Clubs and the famous Vaucle- ville Show presented by Mr. Chenery also helped the cause along, until the uniforms now seem assured. i During this year the members have attended rehearsals very regularly. During the second semester these were held before school at the early hour of 7:l5. Next year we are hoping to have a large forty or fifty piece band, well uniformed. 121 4'- , , w W w l X , 122 THE MAN DOLIN CLUB Central High School Mandolin Orchestra, which has completed its fifth year, enjoys the unique distinction of being the best known organization of its kind in the United States. The I923 organization, inheriting only Fox and Toland, has made a remarkable record. The boys, since the last week of September, l922, have memorized quite a large repertoire of compositions, including some rather difficult orchestra- tions and accompaniments. Some of the leading musicians fof the country have attended rehearsals as guests of Mr. Buttelman and have praised the work of the orchestra and expressed great surprise upon being told that most of the fellows did not know how to play when school opened. It is not so surprising when it is understood that the boys have frequently practiced five mornings a week-and at 7:00 o'clock A. MJ Only this hard work and an unlimited energy and enthusiasm has made it possible to accomplish so much. It is said on good authority that Kalamazoo now has the best High School Mando- lin Orchestra in the country. Prospects are that next year's organization. will be still better, as there will be enough experienced players to practically fill the membership. A great deal of credit is due to Gould Fox, the leader, and also president until he graduated in February. Fox finished the year as leader, a considerable help, in view of the rather brief playing experience of all other members. Fox, bf the way, is the first student of Central to finish four years with the mandolin orchestra and was awarded a musical monogram UK. An outstanding feature of the club's program was the work of Mics Carolyn Howard, soloist. Miss Howard is one of the notable soprano singers produced by Central High in recent years. Besides her natural talent as a singer, pianist and entertainer, she has acquired rather remarkable ability as a xylophone player, adding materially to the variety and snap of the programs. Unfortunately Miss Howard was unable to appear with the club during February, March and April because of illness. This necessitated the cancel- lation of a spring vacation concert trip. ln April the Orchestra was fortunate indeed to secure Miss Charlotte Little, who had just graduated from New England Conservatory. Miss Little was the first soloist with the Mandolin Orchestra, appearing for three consecu- tive years. The l923 K. H. S. M. C., is deeply indebted to her, and not a little proud to have the privilege of again presenting her on its programs. Another achievement of this year's organization is the fact that it made its first appearance in public in November--two months earlier than any previous year. It filled more engagements by the first of February than any previous organization had played during its entire season. At this writing one out of town concert has been given and arrangements made for several others postponed from vacation trip bookings. The pro- ceeds of these concerts and other engagements go to pay something over 5100.00 for the xylophone purchased by the boys, and the expenses of various parties held during the year. The boys also paid for much of their music and purchased their own uniforms. Mr. C. V. Buttelman is coach and Miss Garnet Davis, assistant. Both are modest but it is noticeable that any organizations with which they are connected are usually successful. Ofhcers of the orchestra are: Donald Rose, President: Sheldon Burnett, Secretary- Treasurerg Gould Fox, Leader. Other members are: Merrill Taylor, Alan Campbell, Wil- liam Toland, Marion Ellis, Bernard Dowd, Ward Sanford, Gerald Noordam, Kenneth Dor- gan, Ardith Buswell, Pianist, and Carolyn Howard, Soloist and Xylophonist. 123 DELPHIHH K.

This is the only Girls' High School Mandolin Club in the United States that has achieved any degree of perfection in its sphere. It has been deemed worthy of membership in the National Organization of Plectral Instruments, and in the Student Members of the American Guild. Surely it is an association of which the school may well be proud. Under the able leadership of Miss Davis, and with the assistance of Mr. Buttleman, a successful debut was made during High School Week. This success was made possible not only by its instructors, but by the unceasing energy of the members as well. Each Tuesday and Thursday found them hard at work as the seven o'clock whistle blew. All that is required for membership is an instrument and unlimited ambition. Next year we hope to see the ranks swelled with enthusiastic recruits to help make the asso- ciation even bigger, better, and finer than it has been in the first five months of its exist- ence. The officers for the past year have been: Marian Van Horn, Presidentg Marjorie Spaulding, Vice-President, Kathryn Harris, Secretary-Treasurerg Helen Stone, Librarian. The personnel included: Margaret Anderson, Velma Armintrout, Marian Bestervelt, Maude Blackman, Dorothy Burrell, Anna Cobb, Hazel DeMeyer, Jessie Everhardus, Beatrice Hanshew, Thurza Jones, Helen Louis, Isabelle Miller, Constance Palmer, Eliza- beth Parks, June Smith, Leora Smith, Vera Snyder, and Mayonne Youngs. 127 2 eirxmni Tl-lEf HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA By Edmond Hoben The Orchesta, although it is not as conspicuous as some other organizations, is one of the most active in Central. This year's Orchestra was formed several days after the beginning df school at Nlr. Hanson's call for talent. Practice commenced at the very first meeting and the group of ten or twelve soon doubled in numbers. A number of pieces were soon in shape to fill the frequent demands made upon the organization. Besides the weekly practices the Orchestra played for various functions outside of school. It was present at many school activities as may be seen by recalling that music was furnished for the Senior Play, the Vaudeville Show, the Operetta, and nearly every Chapel. Much credit must be given to Mr. Hanson for his endless patience and valuable time which have been necessary to make the Orchestra such a success. The members besides being benefited by the playing have gained much enjoyment from attending funct ions at which the Orchestra played. The personnel is as follows: Violins- john De Voogdt Frederick Wolff Forest Tinsler J. Middlesworth Henry Houtman Pauline Little Alvin Rockwell Reginald Weber Frederick Weber Kenneth Dorgan Cello- Mr. Hanson l Director--Mr. Hanson Clarinets+ Saxaph0nes- Armando Bertolino Harold Austin Jacob Meyer Donald Barringer Lyle Bresley Robert Anderson Flute- Edmond l-loben Tulbla-.

D ee! ALJARDED ON MERIT OF SCHOLHRH SHIP HND ATHLETIC FICHIEVEMENT BY THE HTHLETIC BOARD or: GJ-1.8. 129 l 130 L ,, , THE I922 FOOTBALL SEASON By Edmond Hoben Coach Fleugel began the year with a goodly number of veterans. The line, except for Doyle's position of guard, was well intact, but new material was needed for the back- iield. Ray Morley, Gilbert Berry, Jack Curtis, Blake, Dick Curtis, and Van Zandt soon showed up as favorable candidates for positions in the second line. Many different combinations were tried in the early games in order to figure out the best line-up. A game with the Alumni, Sept. l6, gave the coach his first chance to see the eleven in action. The veterans won by a score of 6 to 0. The next game was played at Marshall and was rather slow as indicated by the score of 7 to 0 in Central's favor. A week later Central emerged from the dust on the College Field with the long end ofa 33 to I3 score, the result of the Holland game. Because of the inability of Chicago-Marshall to fill their contract, Kazoo played Otsego at that town. Due to the muddy field the score was only I2 to O in Kalamazoo's favor. Central's defeat by South Bend, Oct. l4, was partly due to overconfiClCnCe. It CBUSCCI the team to buckle down and work harder in preparation for the Grand Rapids Union game the next week. Although it was not realized at the time, Kalamazoo's l6 to 6 win prevented the Grand Rapids school from winning top place. Disabled by the absence of several stellar men, Kalamazoo lost the next game to Muskegon. The unfavorable score was I8 to 6. The following game was played at home with Ann Arbor. After a scoreless first quarter, the powerful University City eleven began to pile up the points which resulted in a 26 to 0 score for them. The Benton Harbor game gave another severe shock to Central's standing. The count at the end of the poorly played game was 6 to 0 for the l-larborites. Yes, the impossible happened. Central's pilgrimage to Foodville was useless and B. C. copped the long end of a 26 to 6 score. The Maroon and White's persistent spirit was responsible for their only touch-down which was made during the last few minutes of play. The most unbalanced score of the season was the result of the Flint game on Nov. 25. The strong visiting team besides breaking through the defense for 38 points, held Kalamazoo scoreless. A fine grade of playing combined with an appetite for a turkey dinner were the factors in Central's win over Detroit Southeastern on Thanksgiving Day. The result of 26 to 6 made up in some measure for the preceding defeats.. Much credit should be given Dutch Strome, a former Kalamazoo College star, who helped Coach Fleugel in the management of the sixty-three recruits and later took charge of the Reserves. The practice with the first team by the Reserves helped develop material for next yearls varsity eleven. The quality of football shown by some members of -the Reserve squad in their many successful games should make them good candidates for advancement next year. On Dec. I8 the presentation of letters in Chapel and a banquet in the evening closed Central's football season. The medal given by joe Schensul to the best defensive player was awarded to the fighting center, Chuck Norcross. Ray Morley was chosen to lead next year's eleven.

Of the previous season's dependables, there were Gilbert, Westgate, Westnedge. Dundore, Taylor and Glezen. These were joined later by Bob and Ray Morley and by Hackney who was advanced from the reserves. This material soon took on the form of a first team and positions became fairly steady. The usual playing combination consisted of forwards Gilbert, Westnedge or Taylor, center Dundore and guards Westgate, Glezen or B. Morley. Westnedge became ineligible at the end of the first semester and Hackney and Schrier were used in several games. THE GAMES '5:Those played away. 'FGRAND RAPIDS UNION. JAN. 5 In the first game of the season Kazoo won over the strong Union organization at Grand Rapids. Kalamazoo I6, G. R. Union 9. BENTON HARBOR, JAN. I2 The game was the first on the home Hoor and certainly showed the strength of the team. Johnny Dundore at center was decidedly the star man. The favorable score of 28 to I0 helped us to forget the gridiron defeat cf last fall. 'FDETROIT CENTRAL, JAN. 20 On this date the team lost a close game to Detroit Central. It was thought to be Kazoo's game up to the very end when a long shot made the score 23 to 21 in their favor. BATTLE CREEK, JAN. 27 I 'I' I ' I '5 I at I Why didn't we get some of those shots. Score 23-I9. 'FI..INT, FEB. 2 Although somewhat handicapped by the loss of Dick Westnedge who finished his fourth year, the team handed the strong Flint aggregation a 33 to I6 defeat. This game decidedly raised CentraI's standing. 'VBENTON HARBOR, FEB. 9 Considering the former game with the Harborites, there was not much doubt as to the outcome of this one. Fleugel using many subs, came out of the game with the winning score of 40 to I0. GRAND RAPIDS UNION, FEB. I6 The favorable score of 41 to 28 showed that the game was not as close as had been expected. The team which played throughout the game consisted of Gilbert and Taylor at forward, Dundore at center, and Captain Westgate and Morley at guard. 3'-IACKSON, FEB. 24 After an intermission of two weeks, because of the cancelled Toledo Scott game, Central met and lost to jackson by a score of 32 to ZI. 133 1 N DETROIT CENTRAL, MARCH 3 The game, which was postponed one day because of a misunderstanding in dates, seemed, at times, a close one for Kalamazoo but ended in a 30 to 2I winning score. PONTIAC, MAR. I 0 A week after the Detroit Central game Central defeated Pontiac by a 32 to 29 score. A contest with Toledo Scott had been planned for this trip also, but shortly before the team started, Toledo cancelled the game. 'BATTLE CREEK, MARCH I6 Central gained a substantial lead in the first half but the subs put in for the second half could not hold the foodsters as well. The exciting game ended with the score 25 to 28 in Central's favor. NORMAL TOURNAMENT, MARCH 24 Kalamazoo drew a bye for the first round, but in the second was defeated I6 to I9 by Holland, the winner over Normal High. Muskegon by defeating Holland, won the district championship. Central's I923 basketball season was not as successful as that of the preceding year but it was still a good one. Out of the twelve games played Central lost but four and though playing strong teams, scored 325 points against her opponents' 235. RESERVES An exceptionally large squad offered Coach Strome much material for the reserve team. Many of those coming out were fellows who had been picked from the gym classes during the inter-class tournament. Besides their constant practice and games against the first team, the Reserves played eight games. They won five of these and made 135 points to their opponents' II3. As there will be few vacancies in the first squad next year we are unable to predict what men in this year's reserve team will find places in next year's varsity quintet. Those playing most often were Scott, Early, Berry, Steele, Meulenberg, Davis, Resh and Marlett. Reserve Schedule fReserves' Jan. Jan. -Ian. Feb. Feb.

Shillito ' H of the year Central won the annual cross-country race from Battle point margin was very gratifying because it prevented the Kiwanis cup from permanently remaining in B. C. as would have been the case had our opponents won for the third time in succession. At the state cros s-country meet held at Ypsilanti, Buck won seventh place. Kalamazoo lost the first indoor meet to Battle Creek by a large score, but upset the dope by winning a decisive victory over the visitors in the return engagement, Buckfs fast time of 4-4l 4-5 in the mile was the feature of the meet. Because of an in jurecl knee Captain Shillito was unable to participate in the indoor meets and new material was used in the dashes. He was able to get in condition for the outside meets however and relieved Buck of his position as acting captain. The State lnterscholastic Invitation Meet for milers and half milers was held at Ann Arbor. Buck and Thurston were invited and Buck again showed his worth by winning 2nd in the mile.

As an alternative to having a school nine some suggested that interclass games be arranged. ln this way more boys would be given a chance to play ball. Finally the question was settled by the high school authorities by arranging a short schedule for May and june following a series of interclass games which would uncover likely material. Mr. Rasmussen of the Physical Training department was appointed baseball coach and under his direction things got started in good shape. All through the season Coach Rasmussen worked hard and did wonders with the green material with which he had to work. Jack West was elected captain. Central succumbed to the attack of Flint in the opening game of the year, 5-3. lVlcAleer pitched winning ball and deserved a victory. However, errors were plentiful in the playing of Kalamazoo and Flint broke the scoreless tie in the sixth and held the lead for the remainder of the game. Only two errors were challted up against the visit- ors, while the Centralites let eight attempts slip through their mits. i Two out of town games, Albion and Battle Creek, were too much for Captain West's men and both were lost. The Battle Creek game at the Food City played in ankle deep mud, showed that Kalamazoo had some real ball players. Simmonds and Gilman each whaled out a homer and Black made three hits out of four times at bat. Van Eck and Captain West proved themselves the team's star hurlers. Dowagiac won over Kazoo on the home lot but Central came back strong a few days later and downed Marshall in the first victory of the season. A week later Central defeated Plainwell in a red hot seven inning fight. Captain West was at top speed in this game and fanned twelve of the opposing batsmen. This game completed the season. 139 1 4 4A QDELPHIHHQ f . V '-1 FooTBAu. 1923 BASKETBALL BERRY B..AKE CAMPBELL CURTIS, J URTIS.
