William Beel Betty Merkle Play Committees The senior class of 1941 chose as its play uWhat A Lifeln by Clifford Goldsmith. It was selected not only because of its lightness and gaiety, but also, because of its modern angles and setting. The play, which ran on Broadway, tells of the plight of a certain Henry Aldrich-a typical high school student. The three scenes of the comedy are staged in the principal's office at Central High School. The new sets and luxurious furniture which adorned the stage added to the beauty and reality of the play. Not only did the audience greatly enjoy the scenes, but both performances were a success financially. The cast was made up of twenty-three talented seniors who turned in top performances for both shows. The cooperation of the cast along with the splendid coaching of Miss Sonke combined to make this play the most successful production given at Central in the last ten years. The cast is deeply indebted to all the members of the various committees who made the production of HWhat A Life! a successful undertaking. Row 1: T. Boslooper, A. McCurdy, S. Grinnell, J. Brower, F.

A woman, headless, but with wings and flowing dress, Wind blown. Wondering long what story lay behind This broken carving, I asked a learned man to tell me, If he could, what name that statue had and what it meant. ultis called the Winged Victory,'7 said he. mln ancient Times, before the Caesars ever breathed, she proudly Stood upon the prow of a swift Greek galley ship, And felt the Hying spray break over her. Alexander,s admiral had her carved to celebrate A naval victory over Egypt. She represented to the Greeks The Goddess of the Victory. She stood a-quiver O11 the prow, her wings spread back to brace her, As the ship sailed swiftly home victorious from war. One hand once held a shining trumpet to her lips. The other carried high a mast or spar, A trophy from the conquered ship. Men dug her up, thus broken, A century or so ago, on Samothrace, a rocky island . Where Greeks now fish for spongefsf' I thanked him then, and wished that now upon the prow Of every Grecian ship and tank and plane, A Might stand this goddess known as Victory To help the Greeks to win their fight for freedom. I prayed that every land where freedom is supreme And worth defending, might have The dauntless spirit of this goddess as a guide. Although through countless years The statue has become disfigured, One part alone remains unbroken, And gives me hope that Victory may still Have power to help Democracy to win: that part Is her strong, yet still unconquered wings.

By Elizabeth Goodson In your eyes lives a soul Quiet with mountain quietness. Your words are the glad call of a meadowlark Soaring to freedom. From the memory of you Rise compassion and courage - and love. 0 Lincoln, you are yet alive. Do the cares of the world still weigh heavy on your brow? Do you have still in a small corner of your magnanimous soul A thought, a dream of mortals? What are you thinking now? Are you satisfied? Can you see what our blind eyes have failed to see, What you gave your life to save? Can you see freedom and peace- and love? Lead us once again, 0 Lincoln! Lead us! lntercede! Cain for us a breath of that Great Spirit Which has made you live! From the memory of you Rise compassion and courage - and love. DEDICATION OF FAREWELL Words by Ellen Reed Sing to music of Sweet Genevievev O Central High, we leave you now, To meet the world and live and learn We say farewell to you and sigh For memories will live and burn. The world is waiting for our throng To make our place and go .along Our knowledge will not wasted be, But bring success and make us free. We feel a joy and yet regret In leaving you and friends we,ve met We say farewell to you today, We're going forth to make our way. Chorus - 0 Central High, to you we owe, Our chance for fortune, hope to grow, O Central High, we praise thy name, And hope to give thy spirit fame. Q 1 Dignified Senior .

Boslooper Row 2: Miss Combs, Miss Lich, Mr. Epps, Miss Anderson, Mr. Oldt In the fifty odd years of the organization of the Helios, it has been our custom to have but one staff, whose two-fold job has been to put out both the Helios Monthly Magazine and the Annual. Recently, however, in accordance with the growing trend throughout the country of having staffs for each publication, our board separated. Since all members of the board at the beginning of the year were seniors, each was given his or her choice of remaining on the monthly board or transferring to that of the Annual. For those positions yet unfilled, qualified students were chosen. An effort was made by the new board to begin the actual assembling of the Annual earlier in the year, in an attempt to put out a better organized, more complete book. We wish to thank the faculty board, consisting of Miss Alta Lich, Miss Helen Anderson, Miss Enid Combs, Mr. Pearl Oldt, and Mr. Alfred Epps, for their cooperation and assistance in the publication of the 1941 Helios Annual.

The direct reasons for a successful year, financially, were the splendid performance of the advertising staff, which netted an average of about one hundred fifteen dollars per issue fover half the costj, and the consistent circulation, which averaged over six hundred copies a month despite the many handicaps of com- petition with other organizations' campaigns and with other activities. But indirectly, the success of the Helios was due in a great degree to the superb work of other staffs. Most notable of the innovations in this last year's magazine was the rise of the Photography Staff, with Henry Davis as its editor. Alongside the splendid performance of the staffs heretofore mentioned was the work done by the Literary Staff with its widespread and most capably managed organization, the Art Staff whose work on posters and in the design of the magazine was most important, and the business staff which was taken over by Harvey Dams with a proficiency that cannot be underestimated. i The Helios, however, feels that its success in no small degree is due to the splendid faculty cooperation.

Perhaps the most important undertaking of this yearis Council was the sponsoring of the l940 Homecoming. A pancake supper in the school cafeteria. before the exciting Ottawa-Central football game. made up the program for the evening. Although the Home- coming was not a success financially. the Council feels that it was well worth thc effort. and hopes that this project may encourage future councils to carry on with an annual Homecoming. Also. the Student Council has encouraged the various clubs to put on their own assembliesg as a result. several outstanding programs have been produced. With the help of the Inter-High Student Council. Central has again sent out an excellent traveling assembly which always does its part in promoting better inter-high school relation- ship. Another activity has been the maintenance of an efficient Courtesy Squad which functioned this year with exceptional smoothness. The Council has been fortunate in having Mr. Pylman for its sponsor. Although he is new at Central this year, he has done a great deal for the Council by giving helpful advice and by showing his sincere interest in the activities which have been undertaken.

The meetings, which are held the first Thursday of each month are both entertaining and educational. The programs consist of plays, talks, French songs, and games. At one of the meetings it was a very great pleasure for 'else Cercle Francaisn to welcome Miss Efty as our guest speaker. She charmingly told us of the life of Claude Debussy, and played some of his best loved compositions on the piano. Several of the members have learned, through correspondence with students in France, some very inter- esting facts about French customs, schools, and people. This last fall 'cLe Cercle Francaisn was happy to give a sum of money to the British War Relief for aid to the war sufferers in England and France. They also made a gift to the Quaker Society so that it might, in turn, lend a helping hand to some French child orphaned by the war. The club members wish to thank Miss Florence Powers and Miss McKenzie for their direction and advice, which has been so very helpful in meetings and outside activities. O F F I C F.

Those eligible for membership in the club are students who are taking or who have taken American history or government. The organization meets on the second Wednesday of each month. The Current Events Club has held many interesting meetings this year. Talks by Ted Walker on Indian lore, by Andrew Dykstra on his experiences in Shanghai, and by Miss Dively on her Mediterranean trip have highlighted three of the meetings. The club has been one of the most active clubs of Central this year. Besides having its sales and partici- pating in the All-Club Banquet, the Current Events Club put on an assembly this year, conducted along the lines of ulnformation, Pleasef' This was the second assembly of this kind to be put on at Central, the first having been sponsored last year by the same club. Two teachers and two students were on each side. One club member was the master of ceremonies and others acted as judges.

The purpose of the Club is to sponsor and promote dramatic work in the school. Membership is obtained on the recommendation of the public speaking instructor, by participation in at least two major school stage productions, or through outstanding ability in dramatics. Two meetings are held each month-one a business meeting at school, and the other a spread at the home of a member. One major activity of the club is the presentation of its annual Vodvil in December, and another, the taking charge of the exchange assemblies for the Student Council. The proceeds from the Vodvil are used to purchase new and needed stage equipment, to defray expenses of the debate team, and to support many other school activities. This year the club was able, in addition to its customary activities, to add considerably to the fund which was appropriated last year to be set aside for the eventual purchasing of a rheostat. They hope soon to present to the school this very valuable addition to the electrical equipment of the stage and auditorium. In memory of Mrs. Nistle, who did outstanding work in developing the speech department, the club has established the custom of presenting the Ethel K. Nistle Award to the senior outstanding in dramatics, debate, and oratory. The members of the Sock and Buskin wish to thank Mr. Pylman for his assistance in the Vodvil, and to express deep appreciation to Miss Peet and Miss Gleye for their invaluable guidance of the club throughout the year.

The C Club is an honorary club composed of those boys who have won their letters either in the four major sports, or in the two minor sports. During the past year the varsity club has promoted many worthwhile activities. The club sponsored paddle-pop sales at all of the home basketball games. The proceeds from these sales were used to buy awards for the session room track meet and contributed to the purchase of uniforms for the drum majorettes. The C Club was very well represented at the All-Club Banquet. At the close of each sport season an assembly is held, at which letters are awarded. ln addition the new members arefformally inducted into the C Club. The club is very grateful and much indebted to the three line sponsors, Mr. Waters, Mr. Irwin, and Mr. Mathews, for their cooperation. ' OFFICERS President . . . . .

The work also is very similar, and it provides excellent training for those who would later become members of the senior organization. This is the second year of the Junior Hi-Y. We feel that our club has accomplished a great deal in the past year. Among the interesting activities have been the following: open hay-rides, parties, food sales, motion pictures, Father and Son Banquet, sending representatives to county and state Hi-Y meetings. This year the club's Y.M.C.A. sponsor was Harry Booth.

The club also donated money for ping-pong paddles to be used in the club room. The club has helped Central keep up its fine school spirit by printing schedules and selling tickets for athletic events, and by sponsoring a bus excursion to Holland for a football game. Furthermore the Hi-Y has had charge of all pep assemblies throughout the football and basketball seasons. One of the outstanding events of the year was the assembly at which Rev. Glen Frey spoke.

This club is a nationwide organization, with groups in nearly every school in the country. Its purpose is to foster honesty, loyalty and friendship. Any girl in the tenth, eleventh, or twelfth grade may become a Senior Girl Reserve. A Junior Club is provided for the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Being a member of this club provides an opportunity to join a drama group composed of Hi-Y Boys and Girl Reserves. There is also a Senior Council of two girls from each school in the city. Each year two repre- sentatives are sent to the Annual State Girl Reserves Conference held in some city for three days. This year it took place in Flint. Every fall the girls have a needlework project for the crippled children. At Thanksgiving and Christmas, they also provide baskets of food and toys for the poor. For her enthusiastic support and guidance, the Girl Reserves are greatly indebted to their sponsor, Mrs. W. Whitheld. O F F I C E R S President . . .... . Bernita Fonger Vice-President . . - . .

This organization consists of members of all ages, with at least one representative from each session room. Our goal is living up to the Red Cross motto. Hwe Serve. This year during the National Roll Call, 1,278 students joined, contributing nearly fifty dollars to be used in both local and nationwide relief. We packed and dis- tributed thirty Thanksgiving baskets. Roth drives surpassed those of previous years. The club has concentrated on one of the city organizations for its local interest, and has collected a great number of magazines, toys, games, and books for use there. The proceeds of two Red Cross sales have gone to buy some worthwhile new games for this institution. The group has also sent a number of Easter greeting cards to be used by the soldiers of Fort Custer Hospital. Furthermore at Christmas ten boxes of toys were sent abroad. Thirty-eight cartons of cookies were sold to help send a representative from the City Council to Washington. Our secretary, ,lean Morrissey, is vice-president of the Council.

Under the able leadership of Mr. Maurice Dean, it has been molded into a well balanced group of singers, who have been enthusiastically active. The choir has worked hard and in appreciation of its accomplishments, has had the privilege of singing on several public occasions. Included in these public performances were the following: Singing for the Optimist Club at one of their luncheons, for the South Congregational Church at Eastertime, for the annual Christmas Nativity Assembly and the annual Spring Concert. The choir also sang twice over a local radio station, and comments indicated that the program was much appreciated by the listeners. During the school year members of the choir formed a double octet and appeared in the Musical Assembly sponsored by the Treble Clef Club. Independent of singing, the choir, as a club enjoyed several spreads and hay-rides, and sponsored after-school dances. At some of these parties money was raised to help purchase new music and a recording machine for the use of the school. The purchase of these two things has greatly benefited the choir.

Booth The Central High School Orchestra, under its most capable leader, Michael A. Petrilli, has been one of the busiest organization in and outside of school. During the past season it has rendered special music for the Kiwanis and Lions Clubs, has given two evening concerts over WLAV, and has played for the Senior Play. Not only has the orchestra accompanied its own two soloists of the year, Marilou Pohl, violinist, and Bethyne Bischoll, pianist, but it has also assisted the A Cappella Choir and its soloist. Wanda Cochran. The crowning achievement of the year was the annual Spring Concert in which our two soloists, Marilou Pohl and Bethyne Bischoii starred. A twelve-piece banquet orchestra played for the Business Executives of the Michigan Public Schools convention and the Michigan Industrial Arts convention. The members of the orchestra look forward to another season of varied activities under the able leader- ship of Michael A. Petrilli. Semor Orchestra Band This year's concert band is composed of about seventy members, while the marching band contains sixty members. Besides marching at all the football games, which included a bus trip to the Holland game, the band has marched in two parades. The band also participated in the annual All-City Band Festival at South High and in the annual Music Concert. They played for some assemblies and all pep meetings, for all the home basketball games, and for a music concert assembly. This yearls soloist is Robert Booth, baritone. The drum majors are Earl Burgering, Jack Powell, and Tom Roper. Seven letters a year are issued to the outstanding musicians in the band. The band is greatly indebted to its director, Mr. Michael A. Petrilli, whom it wishes to thank at this time for his able leadership. Row 1: B. Klinesteker, D. Thayer, J. Powell, M. Petrilli, D. Tinkham, E. Smith, F. Summers, M. Gazan, H. McCarthy Row 2: R.

Five, six, hold. OK. Now, hands on hips and full knee bend. Ready! Une, two, three, four, five. C'mon, snap it up! Thus shouted Coach Russ Waters to a group of sweating football candidates on Houseman Field that sizzling afternoon of September the eighth, when the 1940 football season opened. As you can gather from his enthusiastic directions, Mr. Waters was putting this group through a strenuous workout. Looking the boys over on that hot afternoon, the coach realized that he had the material for a strong team. McGee, Afendoulis, and Hendrickson, regulars from the 1939 season, Hondorp, Fredericks, and Sayiie, reserves from the same season, plus a promising supply of the 1939 championship second team - namely, Karel, Lipner, Marinus, Teunis, Sikors, Aussiker, Pruitt, and Gorski, were the main reasons for his conclusion. For about a month the squad was given vigorous calisthenics, tackling and blocking practice, and drilling on plays. By the time the football season was well under way, the coach thought he had a championship team. However, toward the middle of the season, his expectations were nearly smothered. Bob McGee, co-captain of the team and undoubtedly one of Central,s if not the city's, greatest ends and truest sportsmen, was caught in the National Guard draft along with Heinz Rahn, a boy who was also a valuable player. And this wasn't all. Fred Sayfie, the usparkingw quarterback of the team, was injured in the Central-Catholic game so that he was unable to play for the greater part of the remaining season. Freddie got in the last two games, however, and ran true to form. But even this shining example of determination and school spirit was unable to offset the loss of McGee and Rahn. The team struggled on to the end of the season and despite its terrific handicaps made a good showing. fggydk ee Trapp Ferris Cassis Dick Hondorp Bud Karel :I N X nu . fj 1 -1-'K R A- f' xi K .I xl Ad Allan McCurdy John Frederick Fred Hendrickson Fred Sayfie Nick Afendoulis David Lipner X52 I Wai? 'aw . Looking back over the entire football season, however, it can be truthfully said that Central had a fine team, one that played hard and clean. Some of the games in which the home team shone particularly well provided the spectators with many thrills. In the Catholic-Central tangle a crowd, the second largest of the playing season, saw the Hilltoppers rip through the Blue and White lines in the last four minutes of play, to finally tie the game up at 7 all. In the contest with South the home team gave one of the finest examples 'of spirit and excellent play that one could wish to see. Undoubtedly this was due to the fact that since this game was Bob lVlcGee's last one for Central, the team wanted to show their highest respect for Bob by playing the way he did-hard and clean. The Union game was a bruising one, but we finally took them 6 to O. Fredericks and Afendoulis starred in the backfield while Sikors, Hondorp, and Trapp deserve credit for their play in the line. Davis Tech, although not an exceptionally powerful team, gave our boys plenty of trouble. They had a form of offensive play that was almost invincible. The score finally ended at a tie, 7 to 7. Karel and Afendoulis with their ball-carrying and Lipner, Nicolette, and Hendrickson in the line, took the honors. Probably the most thrilling game for the Central fans was the Central-Creston contest. Although the north enders were favored to win, the home team smashed through their defense for a score of 21-6. Karel played sensationally in the backfield while McGee took high honors for his line work. All in all, the boys played fine ball. Coming up next year from this year's championship second team will be Plous, Maloley, VanOverloop, Johnson, Herman, and Hawkins. With this supply of football talent plus the reserves of this year's first team, a strong team for 1941 should result.

While the gridiron heroes were still rolling around in their moleskins, Coach Chuck Irwin issued his first call for candidates for basketball. An enthusiastic lotmof boys responded and after several weeks of hard drills, Coach Irwin finally selected his first squad consisting of Gillett, Bender, Carrigan, Lindeman, Nicolette, Karel, Shank, Dykehyzen, Reynolds, and Herman. The season got under way on December 7, when our cagers traveled north to fall before the fierce onslaught of a fast Traverse City squad, after Central led 16 to 7 at the half. High scorers for Central were Gillett, Nicolette, and Bender. The Hilltoppers opened their trek for a city championship by dropping a close decision to the Eagles of Christian, 31 to 26. Cillett sparked the Central attack with 10 points for the evening. The following week Central took one from Union to the tune of 25 to 23. The game was nip and tuck throughout and wasn't decided until the last fifteen seconds in the overtime when Bender sent one of his educated left hand hook shots through the meshes to bring victory to Central. ' One of the highlights of the season was Central's comeback in the first Tech game. After being behind 14 to 7 at the half, the team, led by Gillett and Carrigan, came back fighting mad to win 28 to 22. Another highlight was Central's nosing out Ottawa 33 to 31 before a capacity crowd at Ott3W3,S gym. Both Cillett and Bender were forced out of the game on personals early in the last quarter, but Central, led by fighting Bud Karel and by the miraculous shooting of Don Lindeman, held off the Indians until the final whistle sounded. Bender was high point man in his last appearance on the basketball court for Central. Throughout the rest of the season Central hit some bad luck and wasn't able to win many games. Although they lacked victories. one thing they didn't lack was scrap. In their final game with a championship outfit from South, Central proved to be one of the toughest teams South faced throughout the seasong Central even held the upper hand at the half, being ahead of the highly rated South squad. But fight as they would, finally they were overcome. By being the highest scorer in the city at the close of the season, Gillett was proclaimed the 'fking of the basketball court for the city for 194-0-4-1. He was also further honored by being placed on the All-City Team. The team is very much indebted to one of the finest teachers of sportsmanship and the technique of basketball, Mr. Charles Irwin.

Central has won the title twice and has lost but three games during the entire four years of Mr. Irwin's marvelous coaching. Although all regular members of last year's squad were advanced to the first team, Irwin managed to get together a winning combination, bolstering up the line were such stars as Johnson, Dillingham, Reintges, Brown and Hawkins. The backfield, one of the best in years, consisted of Plous at full, Van Overloop half, Tuttle half, and Maloley at quarter. This year the second team was the youngest Central ever had, and Mr. Waters is looking forward to these boys as valuable links to the first team next year. SECOND TEAM BASKETBALL The second team,s 1940-41 basketball season turned out to be a favorable one. The team was composed largely of sophomore boys whose only experience was from the 1939 freshman team. But this proved no great handicap to the reserve team. The spirit of the boys was not at all lessened after their four con- secutive defeats by Christian, Union, Tech, and South, for their loss in each game was by not more than three points and each time they were determined to win the next game. True to their word and being tired of the monotony, they came back with a bang, defeating Catholic, Creston, Ottawa, Christian, and Union by a fair margin. In so doing they showed their true spirit and ended the season with five victories and six defeats to take fourth place in the city's second team league. The team's cooperation, consistency, fighting spirit, and excellent teamwork are the main features that brought them through the season and will prove useful when they take positions on the varsity team next year. Among the most outstanding players were Booth, Burgering, Afen- doulas, Huyser, Taylor, and Stuart. Others displayed fine reserve material as well. Much credit for the second team's success goes to Mr. Waters, whose excellent coaching and training is highly appreciated among the players.

TRACK In view of the fact that track started one month earlier this year and also that every field and track event was represented by a supply of capable track- sters, it is no wonder that Centralis track team was able to make the record they did. The annual session room track meet on April 10. started the season off with a bang. Every ses- sion room was represented and there was a fine exhibition of talent in every event. Burton Helder took all honors in the high hurdles, low hurdles, high jump, and broad jump, with Cross, Dykstra, Walker, Veenstra, Huyser, and Elson capturing the medals in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, the high jump, the mile-run, the 880, the pole vault, and the shot-put, respectively. . The meets in the remaining part of the season brought out a fine showing of true sportsman- ship and expert ability in the various events. Probably the main exponents of the team were Linde- man and Gilbert in the pole vault, Helder in the hurdles and broad jump, Dykstra in the high jump, Walker and Ward in the mile, Gillett in the shot put, Veenstra in the 880, and Cross in the 100 and 220. However, the 19411 season saw the rise of many up-and-coming tracksters - namely, Harper, Dillingham, Plous, DeBoer, Hawkins, Haultman, Burgering, Dangl, and Snell. With most of these boys on hand next year, Central should have a successful season in 194-2. The entire team and the managers wish to express their sincere appreciation to Mr. Waters as a true friend and a fine coach. j Baseball 'X BASEBALL Baseball started out with a bang this season, with a bigger turnout than we've had for a number of years. Returning from last year we had co-captains Jim Carrigan and ,lohn Friedrick, Bob Tuttle, Dick - Gazella, Bud Karel, A1 Benson, Ted Nicolette, Ferris Cassis. Tom Boslooper, and ,lack Crawford. Around these men, our present team was formed. Included among the reserves and newcomers were such likely candidates to fill in the vacancies as Hadlock, Sayfie, Kettner, Ten Hoor, Hendrickson, Linderman, Vanee, Northrup, Childs, Sharphorn, Clapp, Higgens. Due to the fact that Bob lVlcGee, who would have been a star pitcher this year, was called to the army, Karel, who also is an excellent hurler, was the only returning pitcher this year. There was also an opening for a catcher. We had a practically air-tight infield, backed up by just as good an outfield. In all the games, the team showed real sportsmanship, excellent cooperation, and plenty of spirit.

As the last days of April shine forth, the boys get polished up for the qualifying matches. After these matches there is a constant com- parison of scores by the contestants to see which will be the lucky four to play in the first match. While the first matches are being played, the boys who did not qualify satisfactorily are busy practicing so that they may challenge the number four man on the team. This not only gives the ones who failed to qualify another chance to make the team, but it also keeps the present players on their toes practicing so that no one shall take their places. The golf team plays each of its city matches with four players. The type of play is stroke play, commonly referred to as medal play competition. That is, the four scores of the Central team, in order from lowest to highest, are matched against the four scores of the opposing team, arranged in like manner. Thus, the result will be a tie 2-2, or one team will win by margins of 3-1 or 4-0. When city league play has been completed the team will have played seven other city schools, on six of the well-known city courses. Matches are usually on a Tuesday and a Friday. The two outstanding players on this year's team are Bullock and Ewing. Coach Decker is counting a great deal on these two men to keep up the standard of the team. Central should go far this year even though the competition is stiff. If our team comes in among the first four in the Regionals, it will go to the State meet in Ann Arbor. That is something we all look forward to.

Ping Pong The Girls, Athletic Association is an organization for all girls in both Junior and Senior High inter- ested in any kind of sport-hockey, basketball, baseball, badminton, and ping-pong. This year, besides carrying on its usual activities, the G.A.A. sponsored an athletic demonstration in the Boys, Gym. To Miss Campbell and Miss Kilstrom, who are our very able sponsors, we extend our sincere appreciation. Girls, Sports Throughout the year at Central there are many sports in which the girls in both Junior High and Senior High may take part. In the fall, both iielcl hall and hockey are offered, while in the winter, there is a choice between badminton, volley ball, and ping-pong. With the coming of spring, baseball is the main sport. Each of these sports is ably managed by an older girl who has been elected by the Girls' Athletic Association. Besides making possible the different after-school sports for girls, Miss Campbell and Miss Kilstrom, assisted by Mr. Conger, who headed the boys, put on an athletic meet in January in which both girls and boys participated. After announcements by the student meet manager, Patty Baylis, the program began with ping-pong which was followed by net games by the girls. There were contests of badminton in which both boys and girls took part. From the Junior High, girls displayed dances and stunts and the boys played some rough house games. These last were rather complicated but were very interesting. The meet ended with boys, one-legged relays in which even several dignified seniors entered. There were equally as many in the audience as there were participants. The purpose of the meet was to show the parents and friends what Central does in athletics during the year. There were no awards given because the whole thing was simply for the fun of it. Thanks to Miss Campbell, Miss Kilstrom, and Mr. Conger, the entire meet was a great success. Row 1: E. Blacklock, P.
