L ' i 1 i The office is the most important l room in the entire building, in that V ,3 the entire school is directed from it. 5 1 I 1 1 At the far side is the desk at which X Miss Chapin keeps the records. 5 4 5 :Ii 41, 1 Facing this is the entrance to the , 'N l ofhce of our principal, Mr. Fred H. li Croninger. It is from this place 1 1 that the activities and programs of our school are directed and carried ' out. l l l 1 5 i l ! 1 i . Q t 1 i Q A 5 'P , , Most of the teachers who do not spend their vacant periods in the ofhce can be found in the teachers' W , t rest room. It is a very cozy and 3 N cheery room. It is an ideal place for the teachers to congregate and 1 chat. Because it is so home-like it furnishes a fine place in which to 1 spend one's leisure correcting test papers or in the less judicial occupa- tion. reading. 1 l l lf Central boasts of one of the finest 1 i and most complete school libraries 2 in the state. In it reference work can be done along almost any line ' desired. The teachers have wisely i adopted the policy of making asf l ' signments which require careful reading of books in the library. 1 Y Cur library can not only be used 5 during school time but also after the i regular time, and books can be drawn out and used at home. 1 i Page Fourteen V . 7 V -Y W W Y Drawing and art work are im- portant subjects. Instruction in all phases of art is given. Many people take this course as the foundation for more advanced study along this same line at a later time. The art department furnishes almost all the placards and posters which are used in school. Another thing for which they deserve much thanks and praise is the drawings which appear in this book. The botany room is very delight- ful. In it are plants of all sorts. Botany deals directly with the study of plant life. lndirectly it teaches many other things. It develops openness of mind through discus- sion of subjects which would other- wise he forgotten. Through the discussion and study of the in- tricacies of the plant world it de- velops the powers of thought. Commercial subjects are essential, in that they give invaluable training along lines which are of practical use in later life. The aim of the commercial course is to release into the business life of the city a body of young people with a thorough background of general education, and a sound specinc trainirig in office routine and practice.

All one needs to do is to pass by its door and sniff the savory odors which issue from it and he will be very generous in his commendation of this branch of study. ' .1239 1 TLT .Z .sss.LpL.-.,f. as-M-, Page Sixteen Physical geography is among the most interesting subjects in school. lt is interesting because it deals with so many of the actual, existing, geographical conditions of our country. Nothing could be more fascinating than a study of prob- lems of this sort, The physical makeup of our country is studied in detail. Chemistry is the science of the senior year. It is a study of mat- ter. Two types of work are done. One is the study of the ingredients which make up matter, while the other is the study of the quantity of the ingredients in the matter. Daily class recitations are held on four days of the week and the fifth day is spent in laboratory work by the pupils themselves. Physics is the science of the junior year. It is a required sub- ject. This is not a condemnation of it, but rather the highest praise which can be bestowed on it. It is required of all boys because it deals with the fundamental, mechanical and scientitic problems of the pres- ent time. Manual training is one of the subjects taught in our school. Classes are held in the basement. Here the boys learn to turn out all sorts of things. It is the funda- mental training of our future Woodworkers. All may not intend to follow this but even then it is a yiry good subject to know in later 1 e. Mechanical drawing--the words explain themselves. Here our fu- ture mechanical engineers and even our architects are taught the art of drawing. This is an extremely important art because, before a machine or, in fact, anything which we have, can be made in our fac- tories, a scale drawing of it must be made. Here the boys are being taught to do this thing.

Printing is one of the most important trades of today. Without printing we could not even have this book. Printing of all sorts is taught in our print shop. There are several job presses. The students also get much practice in l I newspaper printing by their work on the Spotlight. l l l i W1 5 i Our machine shop is another im- 1' portant branch of the vocational department. It offers training along lines which are very valuable. One usually thinks of the machinist as a common laborer when in reality he is one of the most skillful. It is no simple task to turn down metal accurately as they are required to do. l v ','4 v v v v v v v v V v V V l f... : : V: : : : : : lgzl Plll ,: : : : : : : : : :,: Page Eighteen ' X ' .I.f.Ql,lS'IT.f ., . 7' f , We W - 'Y . .'x, . .i . ,., ,, .. ,..,T., ,,,....-.

First is Louis C. Ward, thehead of the entire system. Next come Fred H. Croninger and Miss Anna B. Lewis, the principal of our school and the dean of girls, respectively. Then are pre- sented the school board and the teaching stall' of Central. It is the latter group with whom we come in contact most. To the entire group we owe our most hearty thanks for the help which they give us and for the high standards of scholarship which they have established. LOUIS C.

The length of this list means little or nothing as far as scholar- ship is concerned because some of the best pupils are those who have not participated in our activities. Four years ago this class entered our doors with about 650 in its group. Soon about 150 will have suc- cessfully graduated. Many have left be- cause of conditions which forced them to do so: others have left because they could not stand the gaff or could not see the benefits of an education. Of those who are graduating We expect great things.

Y V l I MARK BILLS l MARK BILLS came to Central High School two years ago as football and baseball coach. His time at Central has been Well spent in that he has coached Winning teams, The Blue and White gridders have Won more games since his coming than they ever did before. He revived baseball and during the first season the Tigers had one of the best teams in Indiana, due to his tutelage. Mr. Bills came from Noblesville High School, Where his football teams were always regarded as being good opposition. He graduated- from DePauw University after a most successful athletic career. Page Sixty-eight L ,,.,W,A,,, . N,A,, an M Football Season CENTRAL, 16: BLUFFTON, 0 In the opening game of the Central football season, the Tigers defeated the Bluffton gridders after a hard battle. Billingsley's field goal was the Hrst Central score. In the second half, Baker and Stiegler made' touchdowns, the latter after intercepting a pass and running seventy-five yards. The Tigers showed a good defense throughout the whole game. The second and third teams played very well against Bluffton. CENTRAL, 12: LAPORTE, 13 A late rally brought victory to the Laporte gridders after the Tigers had outplayed them throughout the entire game. Captain Baker played one of his greatest games. The Laporte line could not stop his off-tackle smashes. Laporte scored its first touchdown in straight foot- ball. The second marker came on a long pass over the Central goal line, The Central gridders displayed the best football they have ever played, but several breaks gave the game to their oppo- nents.

Columbia City scored on the first play as a result of a trick pass. l ' Central scored a touchdown on straight football and the score was tied at six-all at the end I of the half. In the second period, the Blue opened up with a passing attack, with Baker ' receiving most of them. CENTRAL, 31: DECATUR, 8 Central won an uninteresting game from Decatur. The second team played about half of the game and turned in a creditable performance against the Decatur gridders.' Captain Baker and Billingsley did the scoring for the Blue and White. CENTRAL, 17: PORTLAND, 7 The'Tigers journeyed to Portland. There they had a hard battle with the home gridders. Portland had a good line-plunger in Stone and they scored early in the iirst quarter. At the end of the second half, Billingsley drop-kicked for Central's first score. In the second half the Tigers displayed a brilliant offense which completely bewildered Portland. Both Central touchdowns came after fifty-yard runs by Jim Baker. 4 Page Seventy Y-4 CENTRAL, 25: AUBURN, 6 The Auburn game was played in a sea of mud at the stadium. The Central gridders had an easy time in disposing of the Auburn team. Auburn had a weak offense. but scored on a long pass. The Central aerial attack gained most of the ground. CENTRAL, 13: ELKHART, 31 Central's big game 'of the season was with Elkhart, the state champions. The upstate gridders surely could play football. As usual the Blue and W'hite passing game was the best displayed. Jasper was the big star of the game, He made Central's touchdown and starred on offensive and defensive line play. The Elkhart line and backfleld were big and fast, having no great trouble in overcoming the Tigers, who, nevertheless, played a Wonderful game. CENTRAL, 7: SOUTH BEND, 25 On the muddiest field of the year, and with a cold, driving rain throughout the whole game, the heavy South Bend team defeated the Tiger gridders. Fumbles were very frequent and the opposition turned them into touchdowns. This was to have been the first Alumni day at Central, but the rain spoiled the whole affair. BOND BAYER YVILLIAMS WEIMER Page Seventy-one A A A A A A A A A A A 5 A A A 4 A I l 1 l l , CENTRAL, 7: SOUTH SIDE. 6 Fourth down and eight yards to gain! Three minutes of playing time remain! A Blue end snatches the ball out of the air and is stopped on the three-yard line. A halfback smashes off tackle for a yard gain. A Green-clad line is rolled back by the charge of a Blue-clad line, and the fullback crosses the goal line between the posts without being tackled. The score is tied at six-all, and the rival elevens line-up in front of the uprights, the one to Win a game, I a terrinc battle, a city championship, to crown a successful season with a great triumph: the i other, to stave off defeat, to keep the score even, and go off the field with equal glory. But i the desire for victory is stronger than a wish to even the score, and the Blue line holds the Green l line in perfect check while a small halfback's toe supplies the margin of victory. 3 l Central had won its first city gridiron title from South Side by a seven-to-six score. The l credit and praise of such an impressive victory belong to Coach Mark Bills of Central High School. All of Central thank him for his excellent work in Central's initial victory over South' Side. , l I v - 1 YVORTON LANG BRITTON, Manager L fggsmmvt' Page Seventy-two V ' , ,,,, W W. ,.,.,, .,.g.... -. 1 , CAPTAIN JAMES D. BAKER HERE is no doubt as to whether Captain Baker is Central's greatest backfield player and perhaps its greatest athlete. Nearly every gridiron battle and hardwood contest were triumphs for the Tiger captain. His senior year has been a blaze of glory second only to that of the Central Tiger, Whose fame Baker has so much abetted. On the gridiron the Blue and White reached its pinnacle under his able leadership, He is a halfback who carries , the ball, passes, punts, blocks and tackles with equal skill. He was Central's most dependable ball carrier, and, when called upon in the pinches, Baker was sure to gain the needed yardage On the basketball court, Baker Was equaled by few. The Central running guard failed to meet his superior during the three years he performed on the Blue five. He will long be remembered by Centralites who are interested in Central's fame in athletics.

Page Seventy-four ' I fBasfcetl9a1I ia ENTRAL found herself not only in football but also in basketball during the past season. The season started off with a bang. Dope buckets were upset and new laurels were won. Central did more during the last season than any other Fort Wayne school has ever done. She won the city champion- ship and then followed through the sec- tional and regional tournaments to In- dianapolis. There she won her first game and lost the second to Marion, who won the State Championship. Herein are presented the Fighting Tigers who made Centra1's name in basketball greater than ever before. t l Y i MURRAY MENDENHALL M URRAY MENDENHALL was Well known to Fort Wayne long before he came to Central High School as a basketball and track coach. He was said to be one of the best basketball players in the vicinity. He surely demonstrated all the basketball he knew by the wonderful team which he developed during his first year in Central as a coach. His work with the Blue cinder artists is a proof that he is a good track coach. He is a graduate of DePauw. l i V 1 1 1 1 v V V V V ::. rre .affiagjii iiyl vlvly.yAyAy.1AyAv.1Av.vA AVl5Q'ElmXVEMXYAVl.M'l.e'3YfAVQal5lfQENVKAVEAYEXVKAVAVQYEXVEXVEYQVEXVAVEA Page Seventy-six .....A. CBasl:etbaI1 Season HE Central Tigers opened the season with three consecutive victories over Warsaw, Hunt- ington, and Decatur. The Muncie Bearcats downed the Blue after a hard battle. The Tigers obtained revenge for former defeats by great victories over Froebel and Milford. Angola also fell before the Central live. Then the Tigers fell into the Worst slump of the season. A long trip to Washington proved disastrous. South Side earned a victory over the Blue in an overtime battle by a 37-35 score. Rochester dropped the Tigers in a hard battle. Bluffton was an easy opponent, but North Manchester upset the Central quintet. The Tigers again hit their stride and conquered the strong Auburn and Kendallville aggregations in im- pressive victories. In the second Central-South Side fray, the Tigers rose to the heights to give thc Green a 38-24 defeat. The Blue five defeated Vfilcy, of Terre Haute, but lost to Warren. Wins over Monticello and Wabash completed the regular schedule. DIEHL JASPER BAKER SCOTT Page Seventy-seven 5 The Tigers blazed a trail of glory through the sectional tournament. Woodburn and New Haven were easily beaten. Central and South Side met in a semi-final game on which very many things depended. The Green played great basketball, but were outclassed'in every department of the game. Harlan was downed by a lop-sided score in the final game, Berne came to the regional tourney with twenty-one victories and no defeats. The first seven minutes of play showed that Berne had a one-point advantage. The Tigers ran wild to make the final score 38-l7. Bluffton was the opponent of Central in the evening game and a great battle ensued. The count see-sawed back and forth, but the Blue and White came through in the last few minutes to win, the first Centraliteam to win its way to the final tournament. The first Tiger five to play in the State: Finals was a credit to itself and Central High School. Franklin was expected by many to defeat the Blue. The Johnson county team took an early lead, forcing the Tigers to play an uphill game all the way. A great rally in the second period brought the well-deserved victory. The brilliant offensive play of Jasper and Baker gained recognition of the scribes, and Ramsey performed well at backguard. Against the Marion Giants, the Tigers opposed too formidable a team, but the Blue quintet was great in defeat. Baker, Ramsey, and Scott played good ball in this game. NOTE: Robert Manth, whose picture does not appear, was also awarded a letter. STIEGLER MORRILL RAMSEY 'TROYER Page Seventy-eight wgmw,,m,w-.-,zvvf.-4--..,-s.,.- , ..-, ..., . ---,...,. -.V A -M. f .

He started the next season with a rush and was slated to be one of the best forwards in the game, when unfortunately he broke his ankle in practice, He was unable to play for about twelve games, and, when he returned, showed to all that he could take the ball down the floor and cage it with a great deal of his former skill and speed. ' 1 v The Tiger captain nnished the season and performed well in the Central-Franklin game, his excellent play aiding much in the Victory for the Blue. Captain Diehl was the favorite of many Centralites as he played on Central basketball teams during four years of his high school career. lt was fitting that a well-liked player and excellent athlete was selected to lead the . , S 4 T1 ers throu h the ver successful l9ZD-26 season.

In other sports are classed track, baseball, and tennis. Track is as much a major sport at Central as football. Every spring a host of lads turn out for practice. The same things can be said for base- ball. The tennis teams are picked after tournaments have been held. Without these sports our athletics would be incomplete. 3 , ' , 1 i , I 1 il Track Squad 1 r Bottom Row: Roy, Hire, Krudop, Overmeyer, Loetz, E. Felger, Kepler, Shubert, Johnson, C.

Q-fi-rms' 5Boys ' Tennis In the final matches of the season Central met South Side. After two very close and exciting matches had been played, South Side won the city championship and the cup for one year. K That made the standing for the cup equal, as Central had won it the year before. As this article is being written, no matches have been played yet this year. Nevertheless. some have been scheduled and more will be. There will probably be about seven or eight matches played, although on account of her suspension South Side cannot be met. All of last year's team has graduated except Richard Shoalff, but there is some promising material in school, and Central ought to ,have a good team this year. The team expects to win at least at good majority of its meets. 1 I I Gzrls C2 ennzs The girls' tennis team in a quiet and unpretentious Way has been doing some fine work in the past year. It has not received much publicity, but nevertheless has been of credit to the name of Central. In a contest with Bluffton last year they won all of the games. The tournament was held at the Fort Wayne Country Club and Evelyn Jacobs and Lucile Bonham won the doubles and Dorothy Miller and Alice Yarnelle each won two out of three sets in their singles matches. The Bluffton girls in their turn played Central's team at Bluffton and were again defeated. The same girls contested, only they opposed different players. Central's team was also entertained at Marion, where Very thrilling matches were played. Dorothy Miller played a good, steady game and after a long contest defeated her opponent. Evelyn Jacobs and Lucile Bonham continued their good work and won their match. Alice Yarnelle won hers, too. The girls were very well treated both at Bluffton and Marion and received support from some loyal Centralites who offered their cars and themselves as chauffeurs to take them to their games. The out-of-town girls showed themselves to be good losers and the girls at Marion were particularly friendly and entertained the girls in their own homes. A word or two must be said as to the merits of these players. Dorothy Miller is a very brilliant player with a wonderful stroke and an exceptionally good backhand. Evelyn .Jacobs is a dependable player, working with all her might for each play and not letting a point go by carelessly, and very conscientious. Lucile Bonham, as Evelyn's partner in doubles, proved her right to be on the team with her close net play. Alice Yarnelle was not up to form last year, although she won her games. 1 90 Page Eighty-four Girls ' Qfthletics F23 THE girls, not to be outdone by the boys, have accomplished many things. They have done much that they can well be proud of. Early in the year they began by play- ing soccer. Then as the basketball season progressed, they specialized in this sport. They held tournaments and contests. Too much praise can- not be given them for this athletic attitude. Miss HILDA SCHWEHN ISS HILDA SCHWEHN, by whom every Centralite has in some way been benefited, was formerly one of Central's students. After graduating from Central she entered the Battle Creek Physical Training School. She finished her two-year course there and immediately registered in Olivet College. While attending Olivet Miss Schwehn taught German and Physical Training, and after two years received her A. B. degree. Upon returning to Fort Wayne, Miss Schwehn took Miss Martha Carr's position as Physical Instructor in Central High l School and so again became a staunch Centralite. . A Miss Schwehn has a pleasing personality and has made gymnasium Work much pleasanter for the girls. She is an able coach of basketball, baseball, and all other sports. Besides working ' for Central, Miss Schwehn is also working in city athletics. She is now a member of the ath-V letic board of the Y. W. C. A. and her ability is greatly appreciated in this line of work, Page Eighty-six Q l V T i l l L , I I 0 4 Gzrls Varszzyf' 5BaslcetI9aIl C2 eam I Bottom Row: Long, Miller, Pratt Ccaptainj, Phipps, Scoles. l il Middle Row: Williams, Roberts, Fletcher, Stemen.

Shortly after Miss Schwehn's arrival the baseball and basketball class tournaments were begun and have been held each year for three successive years. This year the basketball tourna- ment was held during the months of January and February. The annual struggle is between seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen. This year an incentive to strive harder was given the girls, for, besides the honor of winning the tournament, Mr. Robert Koerber presented to the school a beautiful silver cup. The class numerals of every class winning the tournament are to be engraved upon it. The lucky juniors were the first to have their numerals, l927 engraved upon the cup by reason of their defeating the unfortunate seniors by one point, 14-13. Page Eighty-seven Girls' Class qizsketball Champions First Row: Maas. Phipps, Pratt Ccaptainb, Winter. Second Row: Scoles, Hamish, Michaels. The baseball tournament extended over a period of a month. The clash in baseball was not, as in basketball, between the four classes, but between the different gymnasium classes. The games were held outdoors and each class did its best to win. These tournaments give the girls a great deal of pleasure. create good sportsmanship, and from the class teams the basketball and baseball varsity teams are chosen. The basketball varsity was made up of a peppy group of girls composed of five seniors. four juniors., and four sophomores, The great amount of time and work the girls gave to basketball was shown by their vigorous and accurate floor work. Two games were played with South Side and in these games Central's Fighting Spirit was certainly portrayed by the girls. The game played on the home floor was one of the most exciting and well matched games played during the year. The game played at South Side was equally exciting, but the girls had hard luck and were at a decided disadvantage playing on the large floor. Central lost live excellent basketball players when the girls graduated in June, but the girls left behind will take their places and work as hard for Central as these girls have done. They are eagerly waiting for the arrival of the next basketball season. hoping to make it more successful than the last. Page Eighty eight Central Girls ' A th Ietic Assocz'atz'on Perhaps one of the most outstanding events of the year was the organization of the Central Girls' Athletic Association. This club could by no means be omitted as it becomes increasingly important. It builds the girls in body and mind and provides them with a real incentive in their work. Every girl has an equal opportunity provided by the point system. Awards were given the girls according. to the number of their points. The awards are well worth striving for as the girls all know. For the girl who does not like basketball or baseball there is always some other interesting sport by which she can earn her points. This organization has had some splendid hikes on which the girls all enjoyed themselves. The C. G. A. A. banquet, held April 29, was a decided success. It was an all-sports banquet and at this time the letters and numerals were given. The gymnasium was attractively decorated and this banquet alone showed the great progress and success of the Central Girls' Athletic Association. Tennis was one of the main features of the year. The girls' tennis team was an excellent one with an enviable record of winnings, Many out-of-town games were played and the girls were extremely successful in these. The home games were immensely exciting and just as successful. Graduation again took some excellent players from tennis. Along with tennis came volley ball and soccer. These two sports, although not as popular as tennis or baseball. were very popular. Central had excellent new material in the freshmen who entered, as many of them were very good volley ball and soccer players. ' Athletics have progressed greatly in Central the past year. This has been due to the splendid co-operation of the girls and their coach, Miss Hilda Schwehn. 1 v v v A , , ' ,Q v 1 v v v v v v ' V V v v 1 V AX A A 3 ,LAX A A A , 1 61.

Along with the associ- ations in the classroom come many social activities after school hours. Almost every department has its club. These clubs have varied activities. Some have meetings at which a gen- erally good time is had by all. Others tend toward the more serious and through their discussions and activ- ities to boost our school. All of the clubs create a more friendly spirit and join us more closely to our school. 5 A A A 'suffix a : AX A l' Q ' 'i A A ivylsx A I A ifxixk AXQVF f 'I ' DEV H' 7 U f ggyr BEF - .

The enthusiasm and hilarity, and the cheers for old Central, gave Ill' Che fldoosters ' Club The purpose of the Boosters' Club is, as its name signifies, to boost everything worth While that is fostered by Central. This year they have conceived and carried out a number of worthy innovations. Early in the football season the club with the co-operation of the public speaking classes, sent Central and South Side boys to all the men's clubs of the city to present two very definite ideals in high school athletics: namely, to make high school sports a civic asset, and to build an all-year program of sports by making one sport as popular as another. Incidentally, several students received practical training in public speaking. The noticeably increased interest that was taken in our games is partly the result of this campaign. For the first time in the history of Central an Alumni Day was launched through the plans and efforts of the Boosters' Club. Special features, the game with South Bend being the big event, were the publication of Alumni Day booklets and Alumni dance in the evening v v v v v a i'i, -'-'i v v v v v v AA . . . . . promise A friends, reward follow. A large part of the ticket sales for all through to the boys who give much a of a continuation of.Alumni events. Christmas party to all letter men, including the present basketball squad, and- their marked the beginning of another splendid movement, that of giving some small social to Central. Two more similar events were scheduled to 'hletic events is carried on Boosters-Madeline Crom- well and Clarence Buck being the B champio Th n salesmen. rough their stunts the Boosters are best known. At th: Central-South Side football game they sent up two beautiful pennant parachutes. An annual s t u n t. snappy and popular with the crowd, is the reunion of yell lead- ers at one of the South Side-Central basketball games. Although there is nothing spectacular in issuing score sheets free, the Boosters have given real service in that way to over thou- sands of fans, not only to cur own, but to South Side's also. Score sheets for the South Side-Central football game and Who's NVho in South Side-Central basketball folders for the first basketball game were issued to the fans of both schools. Yell sheets were issued to all our fans at the Milford game, Another service is a committee of Boosters which meets every visiting team, and another of their customs is that of displaying the colors of all our opponents. And the trail of activities leads on through pep sessions, girls' interclass games, rooters' corps, baseball, and track events. ' The Boosters' Club, under the direction of the club adviser, handled efficiently the sale of Mikado tickets for the students. This system avoided confusion, and was responsible, to a great extent, for the financial success of the production. They also handled the decorations at the sectional tournament. Here again the originality and good judgment of the members of the club were greatly evidenced. Their ideas which give us so much pride in our school are really the: result of hours of patient work. One of the most spectacular displays was that of little dolls dressed in blue and white and green and white seeing the Central team fulfilling its motto, On to Indianapolis. All of the many things that the Boosters do for Central are made possible by the co-oper- ation of the administration and chiefly by the backing of Miss Hawkins, the club's faculty adviser. Each member of the club is chosen from another school organization or club and in this way plenty of the pep and loyalty that Boosters stand for may be brought into the club.

For some time an art club has been desired in Central, but the organizing did not come into effect until September, 1925. The club holds its meetings the second Monday of each month. Miss Newman, of the Art Department, is the very capable adviser who has helped organize and make the club a success, A pin has been designed in the shape of a palette with brushes and pencils drawn through it. This is to be made the standard emblem of the club for all future time. The object of the Brush and Pencil Club is Uto create a finer appreciation and broader knowledge of Art, which will result in increased enjoyment. in the truth and beauty of living. To further this enjoyment many very interesting talks and illustrations have been given. Miss Sinclair spoke at one of the meetings about past impressionistsf' Miss Newman at another time spoke on The Beauty of Egyptian Art. At another time Mr. Knight gave a very interesting talk on Wrought Iron. In imagination, the club planned a trip to Italy and at each meeting the members studied about a museum, or a painting, or some work of the famous artists of Italy. Miss Hall gave an interesting talk on Italy. Sketching parties were enjoyed by the members where each one tried his skill at out-of-doors sketching. Some people express Art as beauty, some as truth, and still others as harmony, but whichever it is, life seems to hold more for the person who can see and appreciate its beauties. The Brush and Pencil Club desires to create a feeling among its members that Art is a real and vital thing, and that a sense of beauty is as necessary to the good citizen as a sense of mor- ality. Early in March the club held a very interesting meeting, at which the members of the South Side Pa- lette Club were guests. A very en- joyable talk was given by Mrs. Lane on the arts and crafts of the countries that she visited in Europe last year. Mrs. Lane told how all the countries wanted the tourists to see their picture galleries and their craftwork, in order that they might - receive a better knowledge and ap- preciation of their culture. Mrs. Lane also had an unusual variety 4 1 of beautiful embroidery, weaving, and handmade lace from different countries, and some repro- ductions in color of paintings by the old masters to show the girls. A number of photographs of beautiful doorways and Gothic interiors were shown also and were fully appreciated by the girls. This joint meeting of the two clubs was the first of its kind ever attempted and was most successful. The members are looking forward to many more. The club has also staged several very successful candy sales and was very active in making posters for dilferent plays which were gvien during the year. Early in the spring the Home Economics Club invited the Art Club to attend one of their meetings. At this time Esther David gave the clubs a talk on the subject of imported laces, scarfs, and rugs. Esther told the girls how to tell the difference between the real imported goods and the false goods. Both clubs agreed that the meeting had been an enjoyable one and enthusiastically clamored for another. After observing all these activities, we are all agreed that the day that saw the organizing of the Art Club was indeed a memorable one.

In 1913 and 1914 there was a girls' Bible class organized and taught by Miss Mary Harrah, In 1914 another club was organized, called the Shadow Club. This was directed by Miss Haust. Ciirls in the Bible class belonged to the Shadow Club also. In September. 1915, Miss Harrah organized the Freshman club-Do Shai Kai. This was composed of the girls of the class of 1920 only. Miss Wingert, formerly dean of girls at Central, organized the Common Wheel Club Climited to twenty-five membersl in this year. These clubs con- tinued until the following year f19l6D, when through the eiforts of Miss Harrah the clubs were combined and a Y. W. C. A. girls' secretary was brought to Fort 'NVayne. The com- bined clubs were called what is now so well known as the Friendship Club. Thus the club got its start in Central. The program for the first semester had The Quest as its subject. In this way the girls learned many things on their questing adventures. One of the most interesting meetings was the Romany Quest, at which time the girls all turned into gypsies and went treasure seeking. V Q The foremost social event of the first semester was the co-ed party. Some of thelgirls dressed as boys and escorted their chums to the affair. This was one of the social successes in the long list of Friendship Club accomplishments. The second semester the pro- gram was named The House of Light. The meetings were all very much enjoyed and especially the one put on by the Alumni called Candles at the Window. The joint meetings with So-Si-Y always are successful and Lift up the Latch was no exception. The social event the second se- mester was a genuine girl and boy party. Everyone had a wonderful time, enjoying dancing, bunco, and good eats. However, the girls did other things besides planning the social events of the year. The service committee was busy planning ways for the club to do service work. ' Thanksgiving, the girls filled baskets and distributed them among the poor people of the city. Each girl of the club volunteered to bring some article to be put in the baskets. These were taken to the families by the service chairman and committee the day before Thanksgiving. At Christmas time more baskets were distributed and sent to the poor. A Christmas party was also given for the poor little kiddies These things and many others were carried out by the committees and much credit should be given to them and their chairmen for the success of the year. The publicity and member- ship committees were also active. The former did much to' inform the girls of the meetings and to get them to attend. The membership committee increased the roll and worked un- tiringly. These things and the co-operation of the girls in all activities helped to make this year such a successful one for the Friendship Club. The club has truly lived up to its name, for the girls have completed a full year of friendship and service to others. 4 Page Nz nety nzne S . ..,, g ,AA v v V .V V- - ' fa m am ' f -a--' A 1.5. 5- 5 E: - 'I' 'vane' ':-fogafaji , an 7!W'7!17'KT Y I President ..4.,.

Led by Robert Bradtmiller, president, Howard Kayser, secretary, and Tom Popp, treasurer, the club began its activities with determination to make every dinner meeting a success, and on looking back it can be said that this was ably accomplished. Meetings are held every Thursday evening in the Y club rooms. After the dinner the regular bus- iness is carried on, fol- lowed by a discussion, a special speaker, or some social function. This year, as a headliner, Mr. Ward spoke at the opening ban- quet. This meeting was followed by a lively dis- cussion of school prob- lems. Later on they were very fortunate in securing Mr. Sam Jackson to speak at a meeting. One of the most important events was a Father and Son Banquet. This always brings the fathers closer to their sons and is an incentive for a keener interest in their activities. During Thanksgiving vacation, a delegation from the Fort Wayne Clubs Was sent to the Older Boys' Conference at Anderson. The boys returned full of ideas formulated from the activities of the other Hi-Y Clubs of the state. At another meeting a discussion on fraternities in high schools brought out many interesting and complete ideas. One of the high spots of the year was the reunion of all old Hi-Y'ers at the Alumni meeting during Christmas vacation. It was voted as the best ever held. Mr. Croninger led a discussion on the choice of a college, in an attempt to help those who were undecided as to which college they should attend. The program closed with an inspiring address by Mr. Chapman, State Boys' Work secretary. The boys may well be proud of their splendid efforts to further the club and of their earnest efforts toward attaining their ideals. ..T.,,,,,.,,.! w 4 I J , , 4 l 1 YXVAVAVQVAVQVFXQVQQVLN AVA g, ,GiAYAVAVEXVIAVAVQNVENVENVAVIAVIEXVAVAVLA Z Page One Hundred and One 4 V iii lf? , ' I ,Q 3 4 vi Z y,, 1 l l i I 'fa K s 1 1 2 3 e it 2 gl i 2 Q .M 5 i 2 i f f S 1 iii li i 'P' 1 l 5 E s 1 f s l Home Economics Club 2 OFFICERS 2 Q ll 2 FIRST AND SECOND SEMESTERS 2 1?

K Page One Hundred and Two Home Economics Club j The Home Economics Club is a new club which has been organized in Central this past year. For some time the teachers and students of the Economics Department have con- sidered such a club, thinking it would greatly benefit the girls who are taking this course. Invitations were then issued to all girls who had taken one year of this work or were com- pleting their 9A work. A splendid response resulted as more than fifty prospective members turned out. Various temporary committees were appointed-nominating, constitution, and program. Shortly afterwards a second meeting was held. At this meeting the ofiicers were elected and the constitution was sanctioned. It was arranged to have the meetings the first Monday of every month. Various committees were chosen, among which were: Program, Social, Publicity, Welfare, Activities, and Ways and Means. The programs throughout the year have been both interesting and educational. Some- times a musical program was held and other times an outside speaker led some interesting discussion on topics which were of unusual interest to the members! An especially interesting talk was given by a nurse from the Lutheran Hospital whose subject was i'The Care of the Infant. During the second semester Dr. L. P. Drayer spoke on the Feeding of the Infant. The Ways and Means committee, composed of Mildred Reed, Saidie May Woods, Gertrude Schroeder, Virginia Kaylor, and Norma Johnson, have been espe- . , cially active. At different times they have had charge of the stuffed date sales and the famous chocorice sales, half of the proceeds going to the Spotlight and the other half to the club. These sales were pro- moted with the idea of beneiiting the students by inducing them to buy sweets other than candy. The sales have indeed been most success- ful and the school wishes them even better success in the future. Shortly before Christmas the club filled stockings for the Vet- erans' Hospital of Indianapolis. The donations of shaving cream, soap, Christmas favors, and candy were made by the members of the club. The advisers, the Misses DeVi1biss, Barnes, Pate, Beierlein, and Mrs. Edson, have entered heart and soul into the interest of the club. In the spring the members enjoyed a big banquet. It was such a success that the girls decided to make it an annual affair. A very unusual and original idea was worked out by the members this year. They arranged to have a small space in every issue of the Spotlight which they would fill each time. Sometimes it would be filled with advice on health, sometimes with advice on character building, and sometimes with just a jolly little poem. At any rate it was appreciated by all and served the purpose of keeping the fact fresh in our minds that there was a very much alive club in our midst. The colors chosen by the members as their club colors were black and gold. The club hopes to extend its interests every year until it is benefiting in some way every girl and boy in the school. With an ideal like that we feel that this club, although still in its infancy, cannot help but become a marked success in the future. We are all back of you, girls!

The purpose of the club is to create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character among its members. The club motto is clean speech, clean sports, clean habits. The club holds its meetings every Wednesday at six o'clock in the Y. M. C. A. club rooms. The meeting consists of a half hour supper period. followed by an interesting musical program or a speaker, after which each school group meets in separate club rooms for a short discussion. The year started out with the election of a very lively and peppy bunch of officers. Those elected were: John Mclvleen, president: Winston Koehlinger, vice-president: Clayton Dunton, secretary: and Edward Bender, treasurer. Under the leadership of this capable crew the club could not help but be a marked success. The meetings during the past year were graced by many fine and appropriate programs. Bible study is another prominent feature of the club. Ten weeks of intensive Bible study was entered upon by each member. The course extended from February to April, inclusive. At the conclusion of this term a test was taken by the members in order to flnd out if they had benelited by such a course. All the fortunate ones who passed the test received a diploma. We are happy to note that a large number of Central boys passed and received the coveted award. This feature was indeed interesting and so worth while that it drew a large attendance. - -- At intervals during the year many prominent men and women of the city spoke to the boys. This, of course, all helped to make in- teresting meetings still more enjoy- able. Mrs. Vera Lane gave a de- lightful talk on her European trip. Later on Colonel D. N. Foster gave a very inspiring address on the Life of Lincoln, At the begin- ning of the new year Mr. Roy E. Chapman, Boys' Work Secretary of the was secured to give an especially interesting talk to the club. About the first of March the boys were very fortunate in hear- ing Mr., George Collins, of Cleve- land, who spoke at a joint meeting of the Hi-Y Clubs. His topic was the Christian Adven- ture. He pointed out the difficulties of living the Christian life in a real sense. He said that it was easy enough to be a Christian while it was the popular thing, the difficulty was in following the teachings of Jesus when public opinion or group opinion pointed out the other way. His talk was very stimulating and was a challenge to the boys, ' The boys had two co-ed parties during the spring semester. One took place the first part of April, while the second was a May Day Festival, the latter being an annual affair, and one to which the boys look forward with great eagerness. April 14, Mr. Scudder. superintendent of the Huntington schools, spoke at a joint meeting of Hi-Y and Junior Hi-Y clubs. He proved to be a very satisfactory speaker, and one whom the members thoroughly enjoyed. A great part of the success of the club is due to Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Bronson, boys' secretaries at the Y. M. C. A. The president of the club, John McMeen, also deserves a great deal of credit for the excellent showing that the club as a whole made this year. Although a great many of the members will be eligible to the Senior Hi-Y next fall, many new students are expected to join and keep up the spirit and ideals of the club. fiVXVAVIQNVQ-XVIAVQNVENVEXVKAVAVISVAVA -1996 YAVIAVENVIAVFAVEXVENVENVENVLAVEXVAVAVA I .2 5.

W. Werremeyer. Since its inception the club has always been one of the largest and most active in the school. It had a membership of about fifty students. Meetings are held on a Friday night of each month in the school year. The membership was originally confined to members of the two upper classes, but now anyone who is taking or has taken 10A mathematics is eligible for membership. The purpose of the club is to present to those interested in mathematics the phases and practical applications of that science which cannot be treated in our already too crowded curriculum. This purpose has been admirably carried out in the programs of the club. Members of the faculty and others connected with the business institutions have given some very inter- esting talks showing the use of mathematics in the outside world. Enlightening talks on statistics and banking have been features of some of the meetings. Mr. Hewitt gave a talk on the Einstein Theory and the Fourth Dimension. A speech has also been given on Dizzy Figures, a clever talk illustrating the very high and low numbers now used in business. Another was on the lives of men who advanced the science of mathematics long ago with their inventions and discoveries. Sir Isaac Newton and Des Cartes were among those mentioned. However, educational speeches are by no means the only features of the programs. Games and contests arranged by the Social Committee furnish amusement after the serious part of the program for the eve- ning. Novel and interesting games are enjoyed at each meeting. Geo- metrical puzzles, theorem contests. and construction races are some of the favorite indoor diversions of the embryo mathematicians. For the Christmas meeting a geometri- cal Christmas tree was decorated with geometrical trimmings. Re- freshments always top off the eve- ning of fun. The climax of the social meetings comes with the an- nual picnic, which is held in the country every year. The club is quite famous for its good times and refreshments. James Anglin piloted the mathematicians through the first semester. The afore-mentioned Christmas meeting was his greatest achievement. James Sutton succeeded him for the February term. Mrs. Clark gave an interesting and educational talk on Intelligence Tests. These tests are used to determine one's native ability. Another 'delightful feature was the presentment of a group of piano selections in the auditorium by Elmer Doege. The manner in which the members received this, show that they can enjoy other things besides mathematics. The club is unique in the fact that the mathematics teachers of Central take such an interest in it. Miss Gardner, Miss Sites, and Miss Christman very, very seldom miss the monthly meetings. They enter with real zest into the good times offered. They also chap- erone the annual picnics. x The membership fee is 25 cents a semester. There is an exceptionally large enrollment for at club of this type. Of course. next year the number of members will be made smaller. but it is to be assured that their caliber will be up to the standard. The monthly meetings are very enjoyable to those who attend, and are well worth while. Besides the store of practical knowledge acquired, the Math Club has other benefits. The gatherings of the club help to extend the acquaintance among the faculty and students. At the meetings one can hardly tell the teachers from the students, so well do they join in the genuine good times furnished. ,Aer an fA.:.A A aAA nAf.f.A Ng ' .RT 4 lik 4 Lv 4 ln:-I ll - 4 ll 4 il - 4 Tl., llt-4 ll -at 1' .I 1 .

It was founded in 1916 for the purpose of improving the members in public speaking, debating, and parliamentary law. With this splendid purpose in mind the club has steadily grown and has accomplished much in its career. However, when public speaking became a part of the curriculum and debating was placed under the supervision of a coach the Plats turned their attention to parliamentary law, short speeches, and discussions. This year's Plat Club his decided to drop the study of parliamentary law, due to the dryness of this subject, and has decided to contine its' study to oratory in general. This club is the only boys' literary club in school and is open to all juniors and seniors. The membership ranges from ten to twenty persons. The meetings are held every o:her Wednesday in Room 116 under the able supervision of Mr, Aldred. ' The year 1925-26 started oil' right with a very capable and energetic set of oHi:ers. Those elected were: President, Dean Cutshall: vice-president, Charles Hengstelerg secretary, Bob Gardner: treasurer, Paul Mensingg sergeant-at-arms, James Hiester: recorder, Jack Kilch, Under this able set of oflicers interesting meetings were enjoyed throughout the year. Many short discussions were held at different times, several of which have been on the question of Japanese Immigration, High School Athletics, Dry Onta- rio, and Why the Plats Are the Best Boys' Literary Club in Cen- tral, During the -year the speak- ing committee gave the following speeches h o n o r a ble mention: North Atlantic Homes, by James Hiester: The Eastern States, by Harold Jordan, Dix River Dam, by Jack Williams: The Wonders of Deep Pearl Diving, by Bob Gardner. With the new term the Plats . took a new interest in life and elected a new set of oflicers. The following boys accepted the re- sponsibility of steering the good ship Plat through its stormy course: Harold Jordan, president: Jack White, vice-president, Jack Kitch, secretary: Dick Meeker, treasurer. The Plats stoutly claim that the chief aim of their club is to learn parliamentary law and oratory, but their adviser, Mr, Aldred, is of another opinion. He states most emphat- ically that their chief aim in life is to wreck his Botany laboratory. The harder and farther they can throw his Botany books and apparatus the better pleased they are with themselves. This sort of behavior delights Mr. Aldred, of course. The esteemed and honorable Plats point with great pride to Messrs. Paul Mensing, Milton Rosenthal, Jim Heister, Dean Cutshall, and Charles Hengsteler as living examples cf what oratorical ability can do for a fellow. The Platonians are quite proud of the thing they have accomplished this year in spite of the disheartening and disappointing fact that no parties were given, due Caccording to their former presidentj to many unfortunate obstacles and circumstances. We wish the Plats an even more successful year. next term, and of course a gayer one.

This club has just completed its second year of existence and a very successful year it has been. Last year found it in its infancy and not much could be prophesied as to its future success. But in its second year it has proved itself a most precocious infant and its success in future years is well assured. The club- holds its meetings every other Friday night in Room 333 and the members .are entertained and instructed by talks and demonstrations arranged by the program committee. The program committee, led by Dorrison Linaberry, who was chosen permanent chairman, and upon whose shoulders rested the responsibility of planning the program and securing speakers' for the' meetings, was indeed successful. These meetings were somewhat irregulzr ,during the winter months due to the basketball season, but after its conclusion the meetings followed with clock-like precision, much to the delight andgratification of its members. Besides giving the members a real good time and increasing their technical knowledge, the club assists the members in solving their own difhculties encounteredin their attempts to gain further knowledge in this mystery--the radio. - S f The meetings were always in- structive as well. as entertaining. Several meetings were devoted to the taking apart and rebuilding of tuning in, cutting out interfer- ence, and the construction of send- ing sets were only a few of the interesting problems taken up by the club. There are in the club two stu- dent advisers, They are: Maynard Faith, technical adviser, and Dor- rison Linaberry, the practical ad- viser. Several prominent men of the city who are interested in such Qings gave splendid and helpful talks to the young enthusiasts. Mr. Chester Hall, of the General Electric Company, and Mr. Coolidge, of the Wayne Radio Company, both gave interesting speeches. The boys were benefited in many ways by these experienced radio men. Questions were put to these men which could not be coped with on account of the limited experience of the boys. In spite of the diligent and serious study CU which the members put forth they managed to enjoy several social gatherings this past year. A successful banquet was held the latter part of March and several out-of-door meetings were enjoyed. The club's social gatherings are sometimes in the form of trips to the lakes or hikes. The boys are certainly benefited in various ways by this club and we are very proud of our group of enterprising young radio engineers. In years to come we will not be a bit surprised to read of some great scientific discovery made by one of our former Central students, But considering that their first training was received in our own Radio Club, naturally we don't expect anything else. We expect wonders from you, boys. QVQVQQVAVAVZQVIMAVAVAVIAVA 1 A n A Y u Q 7 v 1 V A I ,fw.f. M., - v Y v I V Xxx! I. Eff.

Sorosis is under the excellent supervision of Miss Hawkins. This club is composed of girls who are 1OA's or over, and who have the average of B. The membership of this club is limited to sixty girls. There have been many interesting programs this year at the Sorosis meetings, which are held every other Thursday. A new idea of an open forum was introduced. These discussions were interesting as well as educational. At the first of these discussions a program entitled In Flanders Field was enjoyed by everyone. It consisted of World War stories and poetry and reports of work of the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., Salvation Army, and Red Cross, At another date a group of modern American poets was discussed, including Amy Lowell, Carl Sanburg, Margaret Widdemer and others. The most spectacular program of the fall term was a playlet called Bluebeard's Wife, portraying the temptations that lure one away from study. The programs this spring have consisted mostly of book reviews. Willa Cather's Pro- fessor's House, Booth Tarkington's Women, Kathleen Norris, and many others. The entire club joins in the discussion of these books. We also renewed the custom of serving refreshments at our meetings. This makes the meetings quite homelike, especially as they are held in the library. The surroundings there encourage the members of the club to read and love books. Sorosis is probably best known in the school for its patriotic pro- grams on Memorial Day and Arm- istice Day. Last year the program on Memorial Day was especially impressive. The veterans of the Civil War were guests at the cere- mony. David Heaton, who deliv- ered a stirring address, was the speaker of the program. The chair- man of the program was Marcella Koerber. The Armistice Day pro- gram was in charge of Margaret Leasure. Reverend Rocca was the speaker and Mrs. Lane read a very beautiful group of war poems. This year another patriotic program was left in the hands of ,W , Sorosis. A very spectacular pro- gram was given by the club on Washington's birthday. The girls' quartette, dressed in costumes of the sixteenth century, sang some lovely old-fashioned songs. The Sorosis girls sang Faith of Our Fathers. A minuet of Washington's time was also included in, the program. Rosalia Pollak and Lillian Hans pre- sented this pretty dance and Nell Gunn was chairman. Sorosis stands for scholarship. Many of its members are on the honor roll. The motto of Sorosis is 'Ato be intensely something and the club is doing everything in its power to live up to its motto. During the second semester a refreshment committee was added to the club. Eats were served at all the meetings. The club fulfills a need in the life of Central. It gives the girls a deeper insight into the more cultured phase of life. The meetings occur every other Thursday. Miss Hawkins shows that she is not only a Booster, but also a leader of girls. She succeeded Miss Williams three years ago. Every year Sorosis has a banquet, with attractive decorations and place cards. Clever and witty toasts always prevail, making the affair one of the important ones of the club. Sorosis enlivens the interest of its members in such cultural things as literature, art, and music. It is the club of the Muses. It develops the aesthetic tastes of the members, and gives them a chance to overcome self-consciousness in a friendly atmosphere. Though the member- ship is limited, graduation leaves vacancies for those who wish to afhliate themselves with the organization.

Club was organized six years ago by the class of 1920. At that time the membership was very small because it was open only to freshman girls. Now it is open to all freshman and sophomore girlsf The club has grown steadily untilfit is one of the best girls' organizations in Central. The girls have tried in the past year to live up to their standard of Usefulness, Patriotism. and Devotion., and have come to be an important factor in Central. By its various kinds of service work, the club has made itself a real help to others outside of school. The club holds its meetings every other Thursday at the Y. W, C. A. clubrooms. The subject developed in the programs for the fall semester was The Quest. All the meetings developing this idea was very interesting and helpful to the girls. Early in the 'fall a joint meeting with the U. S. A. Club of South Side was held which proved successful for both schools. Through all the good times the girls did not lose sight of the first word in their ideal- usefulness. At Thanksgiving large baskets were iilled with good things to eat and'were sent to poor and needy families throughout the city. Christmas time found the girls busy helping the Red Cross fill Christmas stockings to send to the veterans of the World War at a tuber- culosis hospital. This was done instead of giving the annual Christmas party for poor kiddies. a I the fall term a very enjoyable co-ed party was given. All members had exceedingly handsome escorts, the reason for this being that all the escorts were girls dressed as men. ' The U. P. D.'s have learned to think of others who are less for- tunate than they, and have done many things which tended to cheer others up. When Valentine's Day came along, each girl took the name and address of two orphans from the Allen County Children's Home and sent them each a valentine greeting. Needless to say, they were heartily appreciated and for days after. many little hearts were 5 happy because of a real-for-sure j valentine. These girls are made better citizens and better girls be- cause they have learned this lesson i The Hrst real social affair was an informal get-acquainted party for the new 9B's.

Why is everyone so interested? Just because it is the Student Players' Club, Nothing unusual about that, some will exclaim. It is composed of some of our schoolmates. But that fact is not particularly startling. The real startling thing is that these people are not always just schoolmates. Haven't you seen them as old, bent people-as Vedette, for instance, played by Harold Jordan, and a host of other characters, who are not like our everyday chums in the least. They are different. There is something in them that makes them forget they are only boys and girls and causes them to live in these other characters. Consequently they are able to portray emotions which in real life are foreign to them, The Student Players' Club has been consistently true to its purpose: that is, to create an interest in dramatics and to develop the talent of those interested. They have done this with remarkable success. To be a member of this club a student must have passing grades in all subjects and have taken part in a play or assisted in producing one. The constitution of the club holds the members to high ideals. The club under the direction of Miss Marjorie Suter holds regular meetings every other Friday at three o'c1ock in Room 111 and has social meetings at the various members' homes once a month. One of the most enjoyable of the club's social affairs was that given in November of which Har- old Jordan was the genial host. It was an initiation as well as a party. It was given on the eleventh iloor of the Wayne Pharmacal building in the banquet and lounging rooms. The new members were first given a solemn initiation and as is the custom this part was followed by the funny one. But it is said that many of the initiates failed to see the funny part. Imagine what a sad plight to be in. I am quite sure that we would have car- ried it out gracefully. After this . sad lark of humor on the part of the initiates, the guests were taken to the banquet room, where they were served a delicious two-course luncheon. It wasn't until very late that the merrymakers consented to disband, Later in the year Helen Piatt was the gracious and becomingl hostess to the club, This too was initiation night. The cast of the Christmas Play. which had been received so heartily by the school. was initiated. Everyone seemed to feel unusually good and peppy that night. much to the chagrin and discomfiture of the new members. They certainly got the benefit of this overflow of spirit and felt more or less the worse for it. Late in the evening the members were led to the dining room, where the table was artistically set in lace with a bowl of roses forming a centerpiece. Delicious refreshments were served and again it was a late hour before they disbanded. The next social meeting was held at Marcella Koerber's home. A very delightful dinner was served and afterwards almost everyone went to the Tiger Prom, The last event of the year was a picnic held at Tri-Lake on June 5. This closed one of the most successful seasons that the Student Players' Club has ever enjoyed. Page One Hundred and Seventeen VY' V A. f il Cen tml fs Clubs The clubs pictured, follow all sorts of activities. It is well to stop and review them. The Boosters are always looking for things to do that will boost our school. The Brush and Pencil Club is organized to advance art work in our school. The Friendship and U. P. D. Clubs are sponsored by the Y. W. C. A., and nothing more need be said since we already know of the ideals of the Y. W. The Hi-Y and Junior I-li-Y Clubs are sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. The same things that are true of the Y. W. are true of the Y. M. The Home Economics Club holds its meetings in the Domestic Science room of our school. There they discuss the problems that will enable them to take better care of their homes later in life. The Math Club deals with the arithmetic line. In their meetings mathematical problems are worked in a way much different than that em- ployed in the classroom. The Radio Club is very much in date at this aerial time. Sorosis is another of the girls' clubs teaching high ideals. The Student Players are actors. All of these clubs deal with the social things. All of them furnish good times to those who attend. There is, however, something deeper and nobler in them. All of them are teach- ing valuable principles which will be appreciated later on. Par- liamentary law is studied. Friendships are developed. The discussions instill ideals. Thus we are getting fundamental training which, along with our academic work, is indispensable.

The scene takes place in a dentist's oflice, where Miss Henrietta Well- ington CEsther Gaskill, Marcella Koerberj, goes to have a tooth extracted. She drags her unwilling nephew CTom Popp, James Anglinj along with her, and during the first part of the play he is bored to death. Not until The Girl comes to have a tooth treated does he want to stay. Being rather shy and bashful he finds it very diHicult to carry on a conversation, but both Florence Blosser and Helen Piatt get him to talk freely by the end of the play. Finally, the aunt comes from the room with the attendant CLorena Fordj and her nephew registers great concern about her condition. He tells her that she must stay at the office for at least an hour or so because she might faint if she doesn't. After many funny remarks between aunt and nephew, The Girl comes from the dentist's room. It happens that she is the secretary whom Miss Wellington has employed. This overjoys her nephew and he is quite willing to leave with both the ladies. l7 if EMU Fn25 .f'ifiH:.A, .1Hf,f:5L'i'i:rX?,mqff aXf?95xTAX5AE..DSCFA M sg T .sq. ,7p.3AW :M AJ FAW ,af f QW gi ft-5513i IAN?

Pierrot CCarl Jacobsj tries to shed the rays of the Christmas spirit upon all those who come his way. Pierrot goes to a school for clowns and Mama Pierrot says that this will be good training for him. A newsboy comes along and his hands are cold. Pierrot shows him a game to play that will warm him up. In a few minutes he goes away happy. Then a little girl comes up to him and is crying because she dropped her doll. Pierrot cheers her up and she leaves him feeling happy again. A Negro boy goes by him next and he talks to him and complains about the heavy load he is carrying. Pierrot soon cheers him up. The Clown of Clowns walks up to him and tells him that he has done a work that he should be proud of. He gives him a bag full of laughs, and wishes him good luck.

Page One Hundred and Twenty three 'Seven Chances H YALL MORRILL has seven chances of Winning Sl2,000,000, and the chances in question are all girls! This was only part of the unique dilemma in Which the hero found himself in the Senior Play production of Belasco's comedy success, Seven Chances, which was presented May 20' and 21. Lyall appeared in the role of a young chap who is a confirmed bachelor: one of those misogynists, if you know What is meant. Living in comparative poverty, and yet aching for money for the good he can accomplish with it, there comes to him the news that his grandfather has just died in France. The eccentric old gentleman has left a fortune of 812,000,000 contingent only on the fact that his grandson, Jimmie Shannon, must be married before his thirtieth birthday. The fact is brought out in the Will, and' by a strange coincidence the news of the millionaire's death does not reach Jimmie until one day before his thirtieth birthday. Thus, Jimmie has just twenty-four hours to overcome his matrimonial repugnance and find himself a wife. Jimmie's friends muster a bevy of eligible girls-seven of them, to be exact. To each of these he proposes in turn, varying the form of proposal to suit what he fancies are the idio- syncrasies of the girl. Six of the girls refused him, but the seventh, fate decrees, Jimmie shall Win as his bride. And as it happens, the seventh chance is the one girl Whom, Without realizing it, Jimmie has been in love with all along. D This smart little comedy, which by the way hasbeen written by Roi Cooper Megrue, author of It Pays to Advertise and Honors Are Even, was founded on a short story by Gouverneur Morris. It is delicious in its rapid fire humor, both of situation and dialogue, and is designed to keep audiences roaring from beginning to end. Appear- ing With Lyall as the chances, Miss Sutter selected Esther Anne Gaskill, Evelyn Jacobs, Florence Blosser, Marian Jordan, Ruth Walhausen, Selma Levy, and Helen Piatt. In addition there also appeared Harold Jordan, Marcella Koerber, Eugene Martin, James Sutton, Aubrey Wil- liams, Dean Cutshall, and Robert Ruhl. Carl Riedel was the stage manager and Virginia Curdes and Vera Liggett served as prompters.

This has been brought about under the able instruction of William R. Sur, who has proved to be a very valuable member of the faculty. Mr. Sur is a man who has unusual ability for leadership, and, being such a music enthusiast himself, inspires the students. ,I One of his accomplishments is our orchestra. At last We have a capable orchestra. The number of members in the orchestra has been very much in- creased. Throughout the year an average of forty players has been maintained. The Indiana Teachers Assoclatlon honored Central by inviting the orchestra to play at two of the sessions of 1ts annual convention held at Indian apol1s in October Approxlmately forty five members were transported in large busses These concerts were given at Cadle Tabernacle and the Manual Training High School After the Indianapolis trip the orchestra was in demand for many occasions and among these were The Shrine Ceremonial the Adams School Dedication the annual Christmas Carol s rvice of the students of the grade schools and the Teachers Reception V :gif Page One Hundred and Twenty-six m 1 i 'v w i .mx rrf'f 'i-:K ,. .. x f 5 - f 1.

The Mikado is an opera written by Sullivan. It was one of the finest and largest musical affairs ever attempted by the city schools. Mr. William Sur directed instrumental work, Mr. Roland L. Schafer the vocal work, Miss Marjorie Suter the dramatics. All of the leading parts were taken by professional musicians of the city who kindly volunteered their services for the benefit of the high schools. '23 , Band The Central Band now has uniforms, and the dream we had last year of a good band has at last been realized. This year the membership has averaged forty pieces, including the beginners' band. . We regret very much that our capable Drum Major, Leonard Scheele, has to leave us next year. A concert was given in October by the General Electric and the Central High Bands, both under the direction of Mr. John L. Verweire, which was a great success musically, as well as financially. They also played at many other functions: The Armistice Day parade, football games, South Side-Shelbyville game, several of the Central basketball games, the Shrine Christmas party for children, and a concert at the James Smart school. Through the courtesy of some Fort Wayne business men our band was taken to the Central-Auburn game at Auburn. Transportation was provided F23 Girls ' Quartette both ways. The Girls' Quartette consists of Jeanette Pitts, Eleanore Eisenhut, Mildred Crawford, and Ruth Grodrian. Substitutes: Mary Steiner and Lorena Ford. The quartette has always played a very prominent part in the musical activities of the school. This year it has succeeded in bringing some of our school music before the various luncheon clubs and churches of the city. They also gave a program for the foreign students of the Night School. This program was especially well received by them. They sang several numbers at Mr. North- rop's banquet given by the teachers. ' In addition to these extra activities Mr. Sur offered the regular music course, which consists of Music Harmony and Music Appreciation and History. Both classes were well attended.

Ghe Cczldron This is the thirtieth year in which an annual has been published in this school. The first one, in 1896, was called the Vedette, which became synonymous with in debt. In 1897 the year book was rechristened Eniauton. It would be interesting to note that this book was illustrated by Charles Falls, now a very noted artist. By 1900 a discussion arose as to whether to call the book the Vedette, which means advance guard, or the Eniauton, meaning once a year. To them Vedette seemed an appropriate title for the first annual because it was the 'advance guard of all the rest. Several years later, however, it was again called the Vedette. This title persisted until 1915, when the name CALDRON was given to the F. W. H. S. annual. This name seems to be well liked by everyone, for it has been used for nine years, and there has been no agitation to alter the existing name. The financial question seems to be the pet bugbear of every staff of an annual. The class of 1902 deliberated the wisdom of publishing a year book, The cost of the annual was 5450.00 for the printing of 250 books. These were to be sold at one dollar apiece, which brought S250.00. With 5200.00 worth of ads, the staff could come out even. In addition to the great financial risk, hours of time were required, making the class ,work of the staff members below its normal standard, , Despite these handicaps, each class thus far has assumed the risk and published a year book to the best of its ability. Each class seems to have profited from the mistakes of its predecessors, and by earnest endeavor has made the annual progress each year. This book is for the school. The 1926 staff has made it as interesting and worth-while as it could. This probably will be the largest annual for several years because the school will be smaller with the addition of a sister structure of learning. Therefore, this should be a gem among your collection.

The seventh year shows a marked growth. for it is well regarded by high school journalists all over the country. Its predecessor was the Caldron monthly. Until 1922, the fourth year of the publication of the paper, it was a senior publication with one reporter from each class. Since then, anyone competent is eligible to the stall, and merit means promotion. The paper was sold in the halls until 1925, when a subscription system was inaugurated. The paper, four to six pages, is delivered to the classes the first period every Friday. Since February a definite milestone has been passed. There are two classes in journalism. meeting the second and eighth periods. This eliminates the necessity of staff members staying after school, and the paper is put out more efficiently. It also enables members of the staff to learn sidelights of newspaper work.

Elsie Erdmann edited the paper the first semester. Under her lead- ership both the staff and circulation increased. Nlaxwell Baker piloted the paper during the spring semes- ter. At this time a new position, that of student adviser, was created. Much responsibility falls to this person, for he, in a measure, sup- plants the faculty adviser, so the adviser may pay more attention to l' sults from his staff.

The next year Lois Fashbaugh and Martha Rex were the editors. This year the advanced commercial class put out the Keyboard with Elizabeth Smith as the editor. The purpose of this publication is to create an interest among all the students of the school for business and commerce. The first year, Mr. Northrop was faculty adviser.

At that time it was something quite new of its kind and was eagerly received by the students. The Junior High Latin Departments of both the Jefferson and Harmar schools also contributed to the publication during this nrst year of its existence. The following year Joseph Folsom and Mabel Gresley edited the paper. In 1921-22 Ned Arick, unassisted. led the paper successfully through another year. During 1922-23, Howard Tenny and John Shoaff were the editors, who were in turn followed by Poynter McEvoy and David Bernstein in 1923-24. In the fall of 1924 the paper received a new impetus under James Anglin and Vere Kint, and was enlarged from a two-column to a three-column paper, the size of the page was doubled, and a cartoon was a feature of the front page. In addition to the two managing editors, a corps of reporters was chosen, one from each Latin class, thus making the paper more fully represent the work of all the Latin students. ' Originally one number was published each semester and this custom is still adhered to. In 1919 the price was one cent a copy. this was later raised to three cents, and still later to five cents, which is the present price. With the close of the present school year, Fragmenta Latina has successfully completed its seventh year. The success of the paper this year has been largely due to the editors, Virgil Norford and Richard Heine, and Miss Beierlein, the adviser. The first issue had as its main theme the Roman Saturnia, which corresponds to our modern Christmas. The illustration represented a likeness of the ancient god. Saturn. The second issue was concerned with Caesar and a comparison of him with Mussolini. The cartoon showed Mussolini listening to his master's voice, which was that of-Caesar, coming from station S-T-Y-X, the Underworld, announcing I, Czsar, would rather be first in an Ibernian village than second in Rome. The purpose of the paper is to create a keener interest in Latin as a living language, by stressing the manifold ways in which it is used every day, and thus far it has certainly carried out its idea.

Herein is presented a group of people who have done much to equal the accomplishments of the grown-up speakers. They have gone into various kinds of contests. The debating teams have matched their wits with those of the teams of other schools, while in- dividuals have contested for superiority in argumentation and oration.

The season has not been a continual triumph, but it has seen its share of victories. The greatest success has been the increasing numbers and enthusiasm among the growling Tigers. Seventeen speakers have upheld the honors of Central on the rostrum in thirteen verbal combats. The record entitles our public-speaking department to its place among the most active of our school's activities. Two extemporaneous speaking contests have been held since the last issue of the CALDRON. The Hrst in May of last year was contested by Leonard Scheele, Ruth Hunt, Perry Thomas, Leah Peters, and Marcella Koerber. The winner was Leonard Scheele, who spoke on Crime News. Second place was taken by Ruth Hunt, Whose subject was Prohibition The second contest occurred last October. The speakers were Ruth Hunt, Leonard Scheele, Clausen McKim, Don Johnson, Lyall Morrill, and James Sutton. This time the y Winners traded places, Ruth Hunt winning first with her discussion of 'iRemedies for Coal Troubles, and Leonard Scheele coming in second with his defense of an Independent Air Service.

I Last December the debates to decide the championship of the Northeastern Indiana Debating League got under Way. Teams from Central, South Side, Bluifton, and Leo entered the I competition. The subject for the debates was, Resolved: That the United States should ' establish a unified air service under separate control. Central's teams, who defended the I championship won in 1924, were made up as follows: Affirmative-Leonard Scheele Ccaptainl, Ruth Hunt, Lyall Morrill, Byron Novitsky Calternatej . I Negative-David Heaton Ccaptainj, James Sutton, Clausen McKim, Ernest Tonkel falter- natej . I Managers-Franklin Emrick, Clayton Merrilat. In the first round of debates our aflirmative lost the decision to the Leo negative at Leo. I On the following day the Central negative, speaking on its home floor, took revenge upon the Leo aliirmative. BENNER CUP HUNT SCHEELE KOERBER CUP AVIAVISKAVEXVIAVEXVEXVAVIAVENVIAVENVEYS1996 Page One Hundred and Forty-one ll'- In the first debate of the final round. the Central negative secured a favorable decision from the Bluffton aiiirmative at Bluffton. The debate between Central affirmative and South Side negative was won by South Side. The final league standing was: South Side, first, and league champions for 1925, and Central and Leo tied for second. Outside of the competitive interest in the debates. it is interesting to note that in six of the eight debates the material and arguments against a unified air service under separate control were found to be stronger. Such a conclusion reached by thirty-two debaters studying the question from every angle and with the concurrence of more than a dozen judges may be worthy of some notice. The subject for this year's contests for the championship of the Indiana High School Discussion League was A County Unit System of School Administration. In the discussion to select the Central representative James Sutton, Ernest Tonkel, Eugene Martin, Harriet Hiester, and Clayton Merrillat took part. James Sutton was the winner, with Ernest Tonkel taking second place. In the County Contest James was matched against five young ladies representing South Side, New Haven, Leo, Woodburn, and Arcola. He cruelly defeated four of them, but the fifth, Miss Cornelia Bade, of South Side, punished him for his unchivalrous conduct by nosing him out for first place. i The next public speak- ing event was the annual , National Oratorical Con- test on the Constitution. Lf 1 .,. , 5 I I Four boys, Don Johnson, Lyall Morrill, Clausen McKim, and Eugene Mara tin, aspired to the honor of representing Central in the County Oratorical Contest. This honor was won by Don Johnson. i Lyall Morrill was runner- l up. Don's excellent delivery of a sound but not noisy speech carried him through to first honors in the County Contest. against orators from South Side, Central Catholic, St. Augustine's Academy, New Haven, and Lafayette Center. In the District Contest, held in the Majestic theater, Don made a remarkable showing and swayed his audience at will. He won second place. First place was awarded to a speaker from Pleasant Lake. Central has accepted a challenge from Scott High, of Toledo, for a dual debate on the resolution That the proposed Child Labor Amendment should be adopted. The debates will be held May 27. One team will make the trip to Toledo and one Toledo team will come here. Central's debaters are hard at work to take full advantage of this opportunity of extending our debating activities. We hope that in the years to come Central may take a prominent part in high school debating activities throughout this part of the country. Participants in any activity are always indebted to their coach, but Central's speakers of the Class of '26 Gnd themselves graduating almost bankrupt because of their indebtedness to Miss Cromer. They will always remember her not only as an expert and wide-awake coach. but also as a real friend. yiWNVAVQVQVQVQVQVAVIAVAVQVAYQ AVQVAVQVAVQVQVQVQVQVAVAVAVA v nv- vy ' ' ' ' ' WYNNNNA' A A A A A A A A A A A A A A i 1 ...W 1 'M - L ..,.,1,, - ,,.-,,s.......Y,, .,., , M- AN. ,HW-v--' - Q K ' '- - --f -f ---- -f-' ' --'M A 1'-:fri Z fl.

Then I began to visualize that building and its environments, which as I am about to graduate, have become so dear. I saw the main building as it lay under a blanket of snow glittering with scintillating sun- beams. The trees, with their tracery of snow, formed a lacy network as a frame for the build- ings' statuesque beauty. The windows, freshly polished, twinkled from their cushions of dark- hued stone. The doorway gave the impression of the smiling host as he bids welcome to those who wish to enter. Toward his friendly beckoning hand we happy young things go, for after all, here our chief interest is centered during our four years of study. The tip of the gymnasium peeked over the top of trees at. the side. I saw in my mind's eye the swimming pool over whose waters the sunbeams glanced and made queer patterns on the ceiling and through the twinkling Waters. The pool seemed to be a study of mauve and white and apple green tile and sunshine sparkles. Adjoining this was a great room where students molded their bodies into perfect specimens of young womanhood and manhood by grotesque motions and contortions with the balls and bars with which our gymnasium is litted. Yonder wandered a bridle path which enticed the adventurer to mount his swift steed and be off through this white fairyland. In this way he may know the thrilling speed not made by mechanical devices. I saw the rifle range where eyes were made keen and hands steady to better execute tasks which must be performed. There was the great stadium where we, numbering into many thousands, had watched so many thrilling contests. Here we had wept or gone into transports of joy because of the movement of a ball in one direction or another. Here athletes had surpassed even their own capabilities, spurred on by the magic name A'Central. But, alas, as I suddenly came upon the real building, surrounded by dirty snow and huddled with rows of soot-blacked, ignominious looking houses, I realized that I must have been wandering in the land of fairies.

Their gorgeous coloring, their fine texture of skin, and their lovely glossy hair are more exquisite than even the much lauded beauty of the early' Egyptians. Their eyes sparkle with zest for life and their feet are nimble in the dance as well as upon the field and floor of sport. Their minds are keen and eager as thy sit at the feet of the great god Learning. The honored fathers of, Fort Wayne had a vision of the beautiful womanhood and man- hood of their beloved city so they perused the books of beauty lore handed down by the early Egyptians. These musty volumes seemed to emphasize the custom of the Aphrodites and Ap- pollos of Khufu's time to spend the greater part of their time bathing in the sparkling refreshing Waters of the rivers and, pools of their fair country. This, then, must be the chief reason for their wondrous beauty and grace. When our fathers constructed the building which was to house their descendants as they sipped the cup extended to them by Learning, they determined to provide adequate facilities for this same cleansing pastimes. After many years spent abroad among the treasures of art of the ages in search for fountains suited to the Worth of their posterity, they discovered twelve in the archives of an Italian palace built many centuries ago. These they guarded carefully on their long journey across the ocean. ' As these stand in their shaded alcoves they bring thoughts- to your fancy of the sweet flowers of spring as they, upon their pedestal of green, nod their brightly hued heads, gently swaying, as they are breathed upon by the softly whining winds. They are of the pedestal design fashioned of glaring white marble and ornamentally, glistening silver. They are rarely beautiful as they spurt great sprays of crystal water high into the air. This water coming from the pure rock wells of the city is the great source of beauty for the students of Central. Hypothetically speaking, we refer to the drinking fountains.

The membership requirements are very strict as every member must have a hard- earned C emblazoned on his sweater. The purpose of this club is to circulate gossip and stories as quickly as possible through the halls. Every meeting must be full of the small talk which makes life so interesting. Each morning the club holds regular meetings from 8:00 until 8:20 o'clock. Short ses- sions are held between each period, especially between the noon periods. The meetings in the morning allow the members to rest in the ample chairs and recuperate from the fatiguing exer- tions demanded by certain steps of the terpsichorean art now in vogue of which they are diligent students during the evening hours. The club rooms are luxurious and comfortable, being furnished with deeply upholstered chairs, divans and chaise lounges. Interesting and profitable reading is provided by the club as each member is supplied with a copy of College Humor as the numbers are issued. It is the only reference book used as it contains all information which is desired or necessary. At the meetings some time is devoted to the discussion of the wit of each article and the members ex- change the bright thoughts which they have had while studying the magazine. This, of course, is a very good way to uplift the moral and intellectual standard of those taking part. The mem- bers of the club, due to this study, compose the greatest intellect of the school. After the discussion of College Humor comes the discussion of dates, cases, and girls in gen- eral. No boy who has looked twice in the direction of a girl escapes from their badinage. There are a certain few girls in Central-we are not permitted to mention names4for-whose hands there is intense rivalry. Even one of the cheer leaders has sought membership in the club so that he may get the low-down on all gossip, as he has fallen for lthe wiles of one of these girls. The athletes we may forgive, but a cheer leader never. He is a model for the school, he must lose his heart to no one, nor must he idle hours in the library. Mr. Croninger realizes the good that this club accomplishes, so he does all in his power to further interest in the club such as furnishing refreshments. allowing the club to hold meet- ings in school time, etc. He asks that every student in the school attend a meeting as a guest at sometime to see just what good work the club is doing. The meetings are held at the foot of the middle stairs. Page One Hundred and Forty nine 'MWA VY 21 Q , 'F f Ti fi 7 'W Eff i X Q Z B P: me in Q - . Q l ,r Seven Ofges E see the freshman as he scuds into dark corners, pale, trembling, and feeling infinitesimal as the mighty senior passes by. He peeks with awe at the school idol who swaggers down the hall with a mob of girls dogging his every step. We see the shy sophomore as he gazes, at the fair-haired girl he would fain have for his own. She in turn centers her dreams about this same- school idol and the small sophomore seethes with envy. Thus love's young dreams are shattered. We see the athlete full of strange oaths as he wears jauntily his flaming scarf and black slouch hat with its merry red ribbon, proud, but with an air of indifference. He spends all his time at the foot of the stairs in the lower hall and talks manfully of battle, women and song. We see the junior as, mad with rage, he gets his 349th collateral reading for that week. He does collateral readings to the exclusion of all else. lf' he is wealthy he buys the fruit of someone's diligence of the year before. If he does this he may ind time for' a ten-minute date on Friday evenings. We see the lover as he talks passionately with the coveted girl of sophomore days. He' is no longer shy but watches boldly and eagerly for her coy glances. He spends four minutes and fifty-nine seconds between each class discoursing to her on the beauty of her eyes, hair, mouth, etc. We see the senior as he, omniscient, dissertates languidlyc on metaphysics. He offers solutions for all great problems of mankind. His seat is reserved in the library and he talks intimately with the librarians. He is now cold, cynical, sophisticated-a man of the world. We see the man as he graduates, realizing that he is entering the treadmill sans brains, sans knowledge, sans everything but hope and ambition. He sees how small he is, how inexperienced, but he is full of the determination to buck against and conquer the world.

Every member of the CALDRON staff was made the head of a committee to sell sub- T scriptions, and each chose two people to serve on his committee. There was a mad scramble to get the best salesmen, for the reward was set as a page in the CALDRON, dedicated to the team getting the greatest number of subscriptions. T The drive started off with a bang and every person in school was solicited. There was keen competition among the staff members and the race was neck and neck for sometime. However, Ruth Walhausen and her sure-fire team-mates, I Mandolin Cromwell and Harold Brueckner, came out far ahead with one hun- , dred subscriptions. Ruth is well known in school for her energy which she doesn't hesitate to use when called upon. Harold is well liked as is evidenced by the total of subscriptions that he sold. Mandolin is famous for her ability to inveigle people into buying most anything. It is to such people as these, who have the ability to get things done, that the CALDRON owes its success. v tv fv v v vlvtvlvtvlvavlvgxii? 1'1' '2 -fl vivlvilvgvivlvt 0 Avlvlvhvl Page One Hundred and Fifty-one v v gm A 1 4 I V 2. , 1' , , Page One Hundred and Fifty-three A Some of our Yooibau Heroes in avlion. by Macklin White.

No More School Until September. STUDENTS MOU RN LOSS Blaze Starts in Chemistry Room on Third Floor: Origin Remains a Mystery. just as the day approached the zero hour on last Tuesday a blaze started in the Chemistry Laboratory on the third tioor of the Central High School building. The blaze spread rapidly and a tire alarm was sounded. The pupils, not knowing of their peril, marched joyously down the stairways and into the streets. thinking only of the class time they were missing. XVhen the crowd noticed the tire engines coming toward the school, it realized the loss which it must endure. The blaze was a hard one to check and the firemen remained on duty for eight hours. All this time the pupils and teachers, with tears in their eyes, stood in the scorching sun watching and looking for the slightest hope of encouragement. The origin of this tire still re- mains a mystery, but it is generally thought that a teacher crept stealthily into the room and started the heart- breaking blaze, hoping that the blame would be laid upon Mr. Dilts, the instructor of chemistry. A report of the superintendenfs oflice verified the belief that no effort will be made to continue school and that the damage would be replaced by next September if the stone struc- ture proves strong enough to hold the new Structure.

AURE TZ Fort Wayne's Foremost Confectioner Thirty-five years ago Mr. Aurentz started in a very modest way to manufacture candies: today Aurentz's Chocolates are shipped to every state in the union and to all parts of the world. This is something which cannot be said of any other candy manufactured in the United States and can only be said of Aurentz's because they are in a class by themselves and their proven superiority and deliciousness make it worth while for the individual to go to the trouble of ordering Aurentz's by mail. Shipped 'direct from the factory, freshness is assured, quality unexcelleld, parcel post and insurance prepaid, thus making the price the same as when buying direct at our retail store, Mr. Aurentz has recently added a light lunch department to his store on Wayne street. His ambition is to have his lunches as superior to others as his candies are: sandwiches, salads, pies, cakes, etc., are to be unexcelled and his service first class. Make Aurentz's store your headquarters, for there you will find all that is best in fountain refreshments, candies and light lunches.
