The school year is ended, we leave 'rhese familiar halls, fhe noise of happy sfudenls, banging lockers, clanging bells: our books are laid away. The voices of our friends and lhe slrains of fhe organ siill linger in our ears. Allhough vacaiion calls, Cenfralifes will soon be longing io siarl anoiher evenlful school year. Those of us who will noi relurn in 'the fall will always be graleful fo Cenlral for giving us a good background for whaiever may be ahead. We are well aware fhai knowledge is ihe sfairway 'ro success.

We have had such Tun ever since grade school waTching our drawings improve Trom Those ierky sTick Tigures in kindergarTen wiTh our big crayons To The soTT shading we have been doing in chalks, and we have learned ThaT we can even make soTT colorings as well as heavy colors wiTh Those same crayons ThaT webused in grade school. Our ideas are aT lasT beginning To look on paper The way we had imagined Them. We Tried many Torms oT liTe and learned The greaT value oT color conTrasTs and harmonious designs and colors. We use many diTTer- enT maTerials: chalk, crayons, charcoal, waTer colors, and clay. Some oT us can even work wiTh oils in 8-2 if we are very TalenTed. I am noT, buT I waTched while some oT my Triends worked on Them. We were amazed aT The eTTecT we could achieve wiTh waTer colors be- cause we had ThoughT ThaT They iusT made a big blur on The paper and ThaT The diTTerenT colors were all messed in TogeTher. We began To use more painT and less waTer and Tound The resulTs very pleasing. We noTiced ThaT some oT The very besT picTures in The arT room were crayon drawings wiTh beauTiTul colorings and shadings. We Tound ThaT we could also achieve The eTTecT, iT noT The perTecTion, by working hard aT iT. We loved ChrisTmas Time in arT class besT because we all made ornamenTs and ChrisT- mas Tree decoraTions and murals. The besT ornamenTs are hung on The big ChrisTmas Tree which we have in The TronT hall aT school every year. The murals which are very good are also hung in The TronT hall, and some are hung in diTTerenT session rooms. We also make ChrisTmas decoraTions, place cards. and ChrisTrnas cards To send To The men aT Percy Jones T-lospiTal. Some oT The girls and boys are really Talenfed and These elecT high school arT. Some OT The work which They do is really ouTsTanding. You can see much oT iT in Miss Camp- bell's new oTTice. where There are exhibiTions oT our work. There are also exhibiTions in The various arT rooms. Because There is so much To be done around school by The arT deparTmenT, we have a class called The school service arT class. They make many oT The posTers announcing com- ing acTiviTies aT school and do many oTher iobs which call Tor someone wiTh The arTisTic Touch. We are very proud of This class and The service iT gives To The school. There is also a class in inTerior decoraTing and cosTuming which prepares sTudenTs Tor This kind of work if They are inTeresTed in iT. We have learned, Tor insTance, more Than how To work wiTh drawing maTerials-The imporTance oT good color conTrasTs and harmony and how To appreciaTe greaT painTings and enioy Them. We creaTe and we learn by The creaTions oT oThers. arfmenfs yi. COMMERCIAL Every day we learn more abouT how imporTanT good commercial Training will be when we go ouT inTo The business world. We have decided To sTudy Typing and shorThand so ThaT we may be compeTenT secreTaries or business men. ShorThand is iusT like learning a new language, and Typing is equally diTTiculT aT TirsT. When we TirsT saT aT a TypewriTer, we wondered iT we would ever be able To Tind The keys and manipulaTe The machine rap- idly. MisTakes were so easy To make ThaT They always counTed down on our speed TesTs. Along wiTh Typing and shorThand, we Take business English, business ariThmeTic, and record- keeping. In business English we learn how To wriTe eTTecTive leTTers and how To geT along wiTh our TuTure employers and employees. In The oTher business courses we learn how To keep books accuraTely and neaTly. We learn ThaT neaTness, prompTness, accuracy, and cheerTulness are essenTial To us IT we are To geT along aT all in The business world. In This course, as well as in oThers TaughT here, we learn Through pracTice and pracTical experi- ence because many of us now have parT Time iobs in business. I3-Up? Ts U ENGLISH DEPARTMENT On my firsT day aT high school, I clearly remember my English Teacher asking me To wriTe a Theme- Shall I Like CenTral? I was almosT sure ThaT I should, buT iT did seem awfully big and The seniors were so imporTanT, ThaT I wondered if I should ever be one. And here I am aT IasT reminiscing. Every day I learned someThing new in class. Gur Teacher even made spelling fun and I never could spell, buT we had spell-downs and, even Though I was usually The firsT one down, I marveled aT The brilliance of Those who remained sTanding unTil Their Team won. Gram- mar was always a chore Too, and for a long Time I could never undersfand The necessify of learning To puncTuaTe,correcTIy. I Thoughf if I was able To geT an idea across, and iT was a fairly good one, ThaT The manner in which I presenTed iT on paper was noT Too imporTanT. IT was noT unTil my Teachers began lowering The grade on my Themes because of wrong senTence sTrucTure or misplaced modifiers ThaT I awoke To The facT ThaT iT was high Time I was learning The rules of grammar. I remember in differenT grades we enTered IeTTer wriT- ing conTesTs, poeTry reading, essay conTesTs, and many oTher compeTiTive ouTside acTiviTies besides regular reciTaTion. By The Time we reached our iunior year many of us had fairly good ideas of The work we wanTed To do when we had finished high school or college, and so we wroTe vocafional Themes which noT only Told The Teacher of our ambiTion buT gave us a chance To find ouT for ourselves whefher we were acTuaIly fiTTed for The kind of work we had in mind. Affer sTudying The advanTa'ges and disadvanTages and requiremenTs, some of us found ThaT The field was noT such a good one for us afTer all. Then we began To look for a new inTeresT. Affer we had meT our graduaTion requiremenTs for English, There were inTeresTing IiTerary courses offered. Many of us were eager To Take advanTage of Them. We had a chance To incorporafe English wiTh hisTory when we read The wrifing of early English wriTers, and we found ThaT many of The clever sa-yings which we had believed were our own crea- Tions had been used by Mr. Shakespeare back in The sevenTeenTh cenTury. This year a few of us signed up for The Bible English course. This course does noT presenf The Teachings or docTrines of any parTicuIar faiTh. We sTudied The Bible as an unsurpassed hisToricaI and IiTerary masTerpiece. I remember ThaT once I had To geT up and give a ToasT To The moThers aT a banqueT. I-laving wriTTen a preTTy good speech and having Taken greaT pains To memorize iT word for word, I rose wiTh confidence To deliver iT. SomeThing sTrange happened. As soon as I sTood on my feeT, my memory failed, and, afTer groping for a few misplaced words. I saT down. I was miserable. The nexT day aT school, I noficed ThaT a course in speech was offered, and I joined, wiThouT much hope ThaT iT would help me. IT did Though, and I have found ThaT learning a few rules on how To speak and how To make your audience feel aT ease makes speaking much easier. There are Times in our lives when we wish ThaT we were somebody else. DramaTics class gives one a chance To preTendg iT is much fun. We also learn jobs ThaT go on back sTage. AcTiviTies in The field of speech include The debaTe Team, The forensics conTesT, and The youTh forum, which began This year as a regular school acTiviTy. Many of us are able To Take parT. We discuss freely problems in which we have an acTive inTeresT. On The forum This year, There have been subiecTs ranging from The new Iook To The advanTages of Alaska, and all The sTudenTs have greaTly enioyed The paper iusf like They do in regular papers. For The pasT few years a journalism class has been acTive in Teaching us The mechanics of wriTing, and iT helps us learn how To wriTe for The Helios, We learn how To puT ouT The paper iusT like They do in regular papers. IT has been fun To sTudy, To learn, and rnosT of all - To creaTel epvl wg. X-I T Nl' x I HOME ECONOMICS We hear abouT geTTing all oT our necessary viTamins and minerals Tor The day in a pill, one of The modern conveniences, buT ThaT era isn'T Tor me. I shudder To Think ThaT The day will ever come when I shall siT down To enioy a lovely Tender sTeak and Tind ThaT iT is con- Tained in a small whiTe pill. I am noT alone in This Teeling. Learning how To cook is sTiII a musT in every girl's liTe. You have doubTless gone by The cooking room and smelled The deIighTTul aroma oT savory, wholesome cakes, candies, and condimenTs. In This class we have visiTed markeTs and grocery sTores To learn how To make our money, buy noT only whaT we need, buT also exTras ThaT we parTicularly enioy, and iT isn'T easy wiTh prices whaT They are Today. l3uT we learn ThaT There are endless ways ol making Tood appeal To even The mosT Tussy eaTer. IT is Tun To disguise Tood ThaT we need daily. Because eaTing has always been my TavoriTe hobby, I cerTainly hope ThaT I don'T live To see The pill sTage. When l was in The eighTh grade, sewing was a musT. I ThoughT This mosT unTorTunaTe because sewing has never been my TorTe. NeverTheless, I enTered The class hoping ThaT I mighT be able To puT a few pieces of cloTh TogeTher and call iT a dress. The TirsT Thing I made was a skirT. I very careTully chose The maTeriaI, abouT double The amounT needed so ThaT I would be sure To have enough, and sTarTed To cuT iT ouT. The cuTTing wenT quiTe well, buT aTTer a shorT Time, I realized ThaT my Theme song Tor The year would be pin, basTe, sTiTch, rip. However, many in The class were so TaIenTed, ThaT since The sewing class when They learned The TundamenTaIs, They have made many oT Their own cloThes. Two of The mosT imporTanT phases OT Home Economics are The home managemenT and personal regimen classes. We learned how To look neaT and well groomed even Though we could noT aTlord The expensive dresses ThaT some oT our classmaTes had. IT was amazing To learn ThaT by waTching our color combinaTions and choosing TlaTTering designs we could have very good looking ouTTiTs. We learned noT only how To dress properly, buT how To walk. IT seems as Though ThaT should be one oT The TirsT Things in life, buT l have noTiced ThaT a greaT many girls, especially Tall ones, Try To look small by walking all humped over. In Time, l learned ThaT my heighT is an asseT, and a Tall girl who walks erecT is by ThaT TacT really good looking. I Tried, and TelT a IoT beTTer, and I Tound ThaT I could really see whaT was going on in The world. We have been on many Tours oT TurniTure and merchandise shops where I have gained helpTul suggesTions on how To make a house beauTiTul and do iT economically Too. Home Economics classes Teach us To look, dress, sew, cook, and keep house. These are imporTanT skills Tor every girl, I believe.

As we walk inTo The machine shop The TirsT day, we wonder if we will ever be able To operaTe'aIl Those machines and undersTand Their operaTion, buT iT is noT long before we begin To explore The Tield oT The machine. WhaT a vasT and inTeresTing Tield iT is! School oTTers us many courses in which we learn To use and develop our minds. buT in shop, iT is Tun To learn abouT The wheels and gadgeTs ThaT make living in The TwenTieTh cenTury comTorTable and exciTing. We work wiTh many kinds oT mefals. We noT only learn Their names: we Tind ouT how They are classiTied and how They are used in Tools. We hear a greaT deal abouT saTeTy TirsT in indusTry. We Talk abouT labor problems and even abouT inTernaTional problems relaTing To The course. IT you should visiT The prinTing class, you would see all sorTs oT Type seT up. You mighT see some boys making adverTisemenTs oT coming school acTiviTies. You mighT hear an explanaTion oT The many kinds oT prinTing and The acTual seTTing up oT These. This year we made up dance TickeTs, book covers To adverTise coming school aTTracTions, play TickeTs, Penny Carnival TickeTs, receipT books Tor The school sTore, and programs Tor plays and class acTiviTies. We see The resulTs oT our work in every acTiviTy aT Ce-nTral. We are a useTul parT of CenTral. We never before realized all The work ThaT goes inTo The prinTing oT The daily paper which many people so casually read. IT we wanT To Tollow prinTing as a career, we have a good background because we have worked wiTh The maTerials. You would enioy a visiT To The woodworking shop. This is The age oT machines. buT wood is a basic maTerial. IT has Thousands oT uses. Everywhere we look we see some Torm oT wood and we wanT To know how To disTinguish one kind Trom anoTher. By working wiTh diTTerenT kinds we learn TexTures and grains. Now, come wiTh me To The mechanical drawing class. IT looks quiTe diTTiculT buT To Those wiTh mechanical and maThemaTical minds, iT is Tun. They are very accuraTe in all Their work. IT would be very hard Tor me buT many oT The boys and girls like iT and Tind iT easy. Now we will go To The shop where we see The boys mending shoes. IT is a regular shoe shop where They learn The Trade by working aT iT. Maybe we can make a deal To have our shoes Tixed There Tor The experience They geT ouT oT doing iT. We like To see whaT The boys are learning and The Trades ThaT will aid Them in Their liTe ouT oT school are very helpTul. ln all These arTs and skills we see That we learn by doing! I6 DpTm9 lx is LANGUAGES SomeTimes we go To lTaly Tor a day oT wandering among The ruins oT ancienT Rome. We can Travel To many places in our LaTin book while we are learning a language ThaT cerTainly isn'T dead. lWe can see iT in The words we use every day.l We can imagine how The Colosseum musT have looked when iT was new and gladiaTors ToughT in The arena. We can see gay banners TloaTing Trom The pillars. The colored Togas oT The sTaTesmen as They speak in The Torum impress us almosT as much as Their eloquence does. ATTer visiTing These places, we are eager To learn The language oT The people who lived There, and iT is inTer- esTing To Tind many English words, or aT leasT rooTs oT words, in Their language. We see Naples and The magniTicenTly consTrucTed Roman roads. some of which have survived The cenTuries. We go up To France To see how Their people live. We Tind ThaT They are mosTly Tarmers and peasanTs who grow beauTiTul Tlowers Tor The making oT perTume. We love The way The French speak, and we wanT To learn Their language. We like Their songs and The power oT Their naTional anThem. We conTinue on our journey souTh To Spain. Banners are Tlying Trom The arena, and we see The Toreador wave his brighTly colored cloak aT The enraged bull. lT is an exciTing sporT. We wanT To learn To speak Spanish so ThaT we can become good Triends wiTh our SouTh American neighbors. We hear much abouT seeking beHer undersTanding beTween naTions, and we believe ThaT by becoming beTTer acquainTed wiTh languages and people who speak Them, we shall help ourselves To do This. We should like To have Triends wiTh whom we can speak all over The world. There was a good TurnouT Tor The Freshmen Team baskeTball squad This year. Mr. Romani says ThaT These boys will make an ouTsTanding varsiTy squad in The noT Too disTanT TuTure. They Tied Tor TourTh place in The ciTy league wiTh Two wins and Tour losses. I7-Dpr Ts D-4., ,Ag -AJ ,W . MATH FracTions, eguaTions, circles, recTangles-I used To close my mind To Them saying, 'WhaT's The use, l iusT don'T have a maThemaTical mind. ThaT was in The sevenTh grade. Then l began To realize ThaT l had To sTudy and learn how To reason Things ouT, noT iusT guess. I decided To sTudy, really To sTudy maTh. The sevenTh and eighTh grade ariThmeTic gave me a ToundaTion. lnsTead oT skipping The problems because l didn'T Teel like doing Them and waiTing unTil class Time To have Them explained, l read Them over and Tried To Tigure Them ouT. More oTTen Than noT l couldn'T, buT l wouldn'T give up. l decided if someone could wriTe Them in a TexT book, l could do Them. STill, They were diTTiculT because insTead oT reasoning ouT problems and proposiTions, l had memorized Them. When a TesT came, Too oTTen my memory Tailed. I concluded ThaT someThing was wrong wiTh my meThod. and l began To devise a new one. Since l began working This way, l have begun To enioy maTh, especially algebra and geomeTry. NeiTher oT These was easy, buT consTanT work was slowly making grooves in my grey maTTer. By The Time l'd Tinished geomeTry, l really en- ioyed iT, and l wenT on wiTh algebra Three and Tour. ln solid geomeTry, we made models Tor Theorems and regular polyhedrons and painTed Them. Some oT The energeTic sTudenTs did more advanced problems, buT we all learned someThing abouT how To use our reason- gng power. Everybody has To reason every day. MaTh, easy or hard, is worThwhile-and un. a lme Us All MUSIC DEPARTMENT When I came To CenTral, one oT The TirsT Things ThaT I can remember as a musT was music. I sang in The choir aT church, buT I wasn'T any good, and I ThoughT music was sissy sTuTT iusT Tor girls. WhaT I wanTed To do mosT was To sing like Roy Rogers, buT our music Teacher said ThaT There were a loT oT Things imporTanT in a good voice, like dicTion and Tone and qualiTy ThaT I didn'T undersTand aT all. BuT iT was required, so I sTudied iT. I liked The Tolk songs and spiriTuals ThaT we sang, buT I wasn'T cerTain oT The value oT music apprecia- Tion. I didn'T undersTand why we had To sTudy The music ThaT BeeThoven, SchuberT, and oTher Tamous music wriTers composed. I was amazed To Tind ThaT many oT The songs which I ThoughT were dreamed up by clever songwriTers were really The creaTions oT The old mas- Ters. ATTer' The iniTiaI shock of having To siT in music class was over, I began To Think ThaT maybe There was someThing in This class, and I looked up To The boys in The A Cappella choir. I Tigured ThaT if They liked music and could sing I could learn To do iT Too. f'XTTer a Tew years, There was noThing more imporTanT To me Than geTTing inTo The choir, and I sang in The glee clubs unTiI I was eligible To become a member. Since I have been in The choir, I have had a IoT oT Tun singing in diT'TerenT churches and aT The SchuberT I:esTivaIs aT The Civic AudiTorium, and I have learned ThaT singing well Takes a IoT oT pracTice. One OT my boys Triends can'T sing a Tune, buT he surely can play The TrumpeT. I-Ie plays in The band. He says iT's a IoT oT Tun especially aT The TooTball games where They march around The Tield in band uniTorm playing The school song. I'Ie geTs The besT seaTs on The TiTTy yard line, Tdo. They give good assemblies in school every year and play in The spring concerT. AnoTher one oT The boys plays The clarineT in The orchesTra. I-le like iT because They play diTTerenT kinds oT music: polkas, marches, concerTos. popular and classical numbers. The orchesTra played Tor The senior play, and so he goT To see iT Tree Twice. They also played Tor The PTA. Open House. I-Te plays in The orchesTra assemblies and The spring concerT. We Think ThaT music is worThwhile. Even if we can'T all sing, we can all do someThing. Vi' D PHYSICAL EDUCATION The mosT imporTanT purchase ThaT I made upon enTering CenTral was a gym suiT and brand new gym shoes. Was I imporTanTl Now I would be able To play soTTbaII on The school playground wiTh The resT oT The girls who had been here a long Time. When I was given my basIceT and locker numbers, I TeIT ThaT I had a place in The acTiviTies. We waTched The boys in Their gym class doing caIisThenics and used To Try Them ourselves. IT Ioolced so easy when They did Them, buT I guess girls aren'T buiIT Tor Them. I was sTiTT Tor days aTTer a Tew push-ups. BuT There were many exercises ThaT we did do, and we were graded on Them. They weren'T so hard, and They really IcepT us Iimbered up. We marched To music and learned how To square dance, which was Tun. We even had The old-Tashioned square dance records To help us along. We learned how To do social dancing. We oTTen wished ThaT The boys were TaughT This in gym class Too, buT I guess They iusT ThoughT ThaT dancing wiTh girls was sissy. BesT oT all, I loved The sporTs we had, especially volleyball, soTTbalI, and Tield ball. IT wasn'T long before I had To learn ThaT winning The game isn'T The only Thing ThaT is imporTanT. I began To realize ThaT sporTsmanship isn'T iusT a big word, buT ThaT iT is really necessary To pracTice iT iT I was going To geT anywhere. IT doesn'T apply iusT To gym class. As soon as I became conscious oT The imporTance oT sporTsmanship, I Tound ThaT I could pracTice iT all The Time. The boys played hard in Their classes - baseball and soccer and basIceTball. They really sTarTed Their Training Tor sporTs ThaT They would Take parT in IaTer on in school. They have sTrenuous exercises: running around The school grounds, push-ups and pull-ups, and all sorTs oT Things ThaT are impossible Tor girls, much as I haTe To admiT iT. Physical ed plays an imporTanT parT in all our lives, even if we don'T realize iT. IT Teaches us how To walk and breaThe and, iusT as imporTanT, The imporTance oT physical exercise and The value oT playing The game and being boTh a good sporT and a good loser. I Tound ThaT' ThaT was The hardesT lesson oT all To learn. I learned iT The hard way. l'm noT going ,To Tor- geT iT. 20 Dprlm T 'Sf .L ,al 'e 4 Firsf Row: SgT, VerBusT, H, Hammerslag, M.

Now we are having demonsTraTions by diTTerenT insTrucTors in The ciTy in operaTing weapons, drilling Techniques, lecTures on The hisTory oT The army, and The hisTory OT The R.O.T.C. We Try ouT diTTerenT mefhods oT signalling and learn how To read maps. EveryThing is done very seriously wiTh miliTary precision. IT used To worry me a Iiffle aT TirsT, buT l lilce iT now, l'm beginning To learn The imporTance OT being on Time, being neaT, and lceeping in good physical condiTion. This year we have regular army shirTs and lchalci Ties and whiTe belTs like The ones They wear aT WesT PoinT. We don'T have blue lapels on our coaTs anymore. The TirsT maior evenT we Talce parT in is The ArmisTice Day assembly which is The mosT impressive Thing I have ever seen. We march in and carry The Tlags, and our band plays Onward ChrisTian Soldiers . OuTside, our riTle squad Tires saluTes in honor oT CenTral's boys who served in boTh world wars. OTher imporTanT evenTs each year are Tield day and Federal inspecTion. We drill all year Tor These acTiviTies-using our riTles, marching, and especially keeping ourselves neaT. The R.O.T.C. has helped me To become a good American ciTizen. 2l-Depal T SCIENCE Never shall I forgeT The day when I firsT walked inTo The chemisTry lab. I saw a whole new world. IT wasn'T clear aT firsT. IT was opening up before me. There were Thousands of weird looking flasks, beakers, and every imaginable size of TesT Tube. And The boTTles on our Tables-all sorTs of dangerous looking acids ThaT I was sure I would never be able To use properly. BUT I was eager To learn because iT was new and differenf. AT firsf we sTudied abouT The origin of chemisTry and abouT famous men who have worked in This vasT field. AfTer awhile we began lab work, and we really made Things. I always feIT as Though I was making a discovery imporTanT To The world insTead of iusT following The direcfions given in our lab book. Throughouf The year, I was confinually learning and Trying To look inTo This unknown world where many men have given Their lives in seeking a new and rare elemenT. ChemisTry has given me a greafer appreciaTion of The Things around me, The wonders of naTure, The valuable elemenfs ThaT are found in The earTh, and The Thousands of modern conveniences which we blifhely accepf as parT of our living. Chemisfry is in acfion every Time we Turn on our gas or our wafer fauceT. This To me is one of The mosT fascinaf- ing courses offered in high school. NOT long ago I saf in The biology lab dissecfing foxes and frogs. This class Taughf me somefhing of The forces of nafure and The reIaTionship beTween pIanTs and animals. I have always wanfed To see evidences of some of The sTaTemenTs made in The TexT book. I am noT conTenT merely To have someone Tell me iT is so. In This class we had many opporTuniTies To see acfual specimens of leaves and animal Tissue. We use The book as a guide. Affer biology came physiology. Here I learned abouf myself, how I was consTrucTed. I found ouT ThaT I have many more bones Than I had ever Thoughf could be puT inTo one human frame, and every lasT one has a name. We found ouT why we did some of The Things we do and why we have some of The impulses ThaT we have. We looked info The human mind To see whaT if is made of and why iT direcfs our Thinking Through differenf channels. IT is fun To sTudy why we imiTaTe and ask quesfions and are always seeking a goal. IT has never ceased To be a wonder To me how our bodies keep working calmly and efficienfly when There are so many inTricaTe parfs ThaT musT behave very well To prevenf The whole sysTem's being Thrown off balance. I wonder ThaT There is as liTTle sickness and disorder in The world as There is Today. Some of my friends have Taken general science, which is really an inTroducTion To The sciences of high school. They sTudied abouf Their environmenf and The forces aT work in iT. A brief sTudy of many sciences was Taken up: asfronomy, chemisTry, physics, and biology. Our chemisTry Teacher said ThaT iT gives The sTudenT a very good background for The sfudy of any branch of science. Then, of course, There is The physics class. Even The name scares me. IT sounds difficulf, buT of course for Those having a scienfific and mafhemafical mind iT would holdagreaf deal of inTeresT. I admire Tremendously Those who undersfand iT, buT I am afraid iT is a Iiffle beyond me. I believe ThaT Through our science courses we come To recognize The forces aT work in our world. We learn To live more richly. parfm Ts SOCIAL SCIENCE Come wiTh me To hisfory class Today. When we walk inTo The room, you will find ThaT iT looks like all The oTher class rooms -The same desks, blackboards, Teacher's desk. BuT as soon as we open our book we find ourselves in far-away lands riding wiTh Caesar or Alex- ander or Napoleon inTo baTTIes To conquer ciTies and naTions. In The palace of Louis XIV we lived in luxury and spenT fabulous sums on self enjoyment buT we left France before The Revolufion because no one was safe There. We wenT To England and found oppression of The common man who wanfed freedom of worship. We boarded a ship sailing for The New World. We came To America. The living was noT easy for a long Time because of un- friendly lndian Tribes. We wenT wiTh The seTTlers To The Tea ParTy in BosTon and waTched aT a disfance The war for our independence from England. We wafched The DecIaraTion of Independence and The ConsTiTuTion being wriTTen. We wenT by sTage coach Through The SouTh and saw The beauTifuI pIanTaTions and The beginning of greaT indusTry in The NorTh. Then we heard Talk of war and The abolishing of slavery. Soon The whole counfry was baT- Tling iTself, brofher againsf brofher, and iT seemed useless To us iusT as The ancienT wars did. We cannoT undersTand why men have To fighT each oTher in The hope of beffering Themselves or of gaining more for Themselves. We wonder if men will ever learn To live Togefher. We wondered ThaT in I865. Now iT is I948 and we are sTiII wondering if men will ever be able To live Togefher. In junior high school we sTudy geography and inTroducTory hisTory, subiecTs which give us an idea of The more advanced social sTudies ThaT we Take in higher grades. We learn of The naTural resources and physical aspecfs of land all over The world. AfTer our ninTh grade civics and high school, many of us follow up our semesTer of required governmenT wiTh economics. These subiecfs Teach us a greaT deal abouT Things we are To meeT any day and keep us posfed on currenT happenings. We infend To profiT by The misTakes of The pasl' and build The fuTure. We wenT To Lansing To see how our laws are made and who makes Them, and we learned abouT The governmenfs of o+her sTaTes and how our counfry makes our laws. Per- haps The mosT imporTanT Thing we learned is ThaT we have a parf in making The laws be- cause we can voTe and have The kind of governmenT we wanf. We can, ThaT is, if we learn how To safeguard The freedom The Founders gave us. 23-De perl YOUTH TALENTS Cenfral was very well represenfed in The Youfh TalenT Exhibifion held aT The Public Museum The week of April 2l-28. Cenfralifes have Talenfs, we find, Thaf we didn'T realize They had. Doug Race won firsT place in class A sculpfuring and also was awarded a cerfificafe of meriT in prinfing.

We are Told ThaT we are faced wifh The greaTesT problem The world has ever had To face, The problem of learning To be friends, The problem of judging a person noT by his color or creed, buf by The kind of cifizen he is. The habif of hafing a person because he is a Cafholic or a Jew or a Moslem musT be broken. l-lafe is a force Thaf can desfroy The world overnighf. l-laTe is made up of fear and misundersfanding.

EDITORIALS T K OUR FRIEND I have walked pasT Miss Campbell's door many Times a day, and each Time l have seen her conversing earnesTly wiTh a CenTraliTe. STudenTs come To her wiTh all sorTs of problems, many of Them having To do wiTh a program change. SomeTimes we have personal problems ThaT we wanf To Talk over wiTh her, for in her newly decorafed oTfice we can always find a smile and a word of encouragemenT from our counsellor. No maTTer how many seek heradvice, she always has Time for a per- sonal chaT wiTh any one of us. She helps us discover our TalenTs and shows us how To use Them To advanTage. SomeTimes we are surprised aT The undeveloped TalenTs we have. Through apTiTude TesTs and in- Teresf TesTs she helps us deTermine whaT work we are besT suiTed To do. When we begin high school, we are usually in The dark abouT The s+udies we wanT. There are many we would like To Take, buf do noT have enough Time for. IT is Miss Campbell who helps us make our deci- sions according To our abiliTies and inTer- esTs. She is inferesfed in us ouTside The classroom Too. She helps us seTTle prob- lems concerning our friends and our daTes, and when we are aT a loss abouT how To acT, we can even find ouT abouT The rules for social behaivor. SomeTimes iT is hard To know how To handle a sifua- Tion, buT when we discuss iT wiTh Miss Campbell, we always geT helpful sugges- Tions. We always feel Tree To ask her abouf any oT our problems, and we find iT easy To Talk wiTh her. Miss Campbell is officially The STudenT Personnel Direcfor. We call her The CenTraliTe's Friend.

FirsT on The schedule was a melee wiTh Niles High School where The Rams emerged vicTorious 27-6. We surely TelT encour- aged aTTer seeing our Team do so well on Toreign soil, and we eagerly anTicipaTed The TirsT league game, which was wiTh OTTawa. We Took The game wiTh The same score, 27-6. NexT we baTTled The CresTon Bears, and we didn'T leT Them geT wiThin acTual scoring disTance during The enTire game, This Time we made Tour Touchdowns, and all The placemenTs were good. The Tinal score was 28-O. On The TenTh oT OcTober we boarded The bus Tor Holland wiTh hopes high ThaT our boys would lick The Holland eleven. The game was a close one, and we saT Tensely'waTching and hoping Throughout The Team Tinally crashed Through wiTh The Tinal Tally reading I4-O. Then back To Houseman Tor The ToughesT Tray oT The year. The grandsTands were really jammed The nighT we played CaTholic, AlmosT The enTire game we were on our TeeT yelling. IT really looked bad aT The halT Tor our boys, buT They pulled Themselves ouT oT The Tire aT The crucial Time. The gun Tinally ended The game, The scoreboard reading CenTral I3, CaTholic 7. Then we were on The road again, This Time down To Melvindale. They had really beaTen us lasT year, and we were ouT To show Them ThaT This year Grand Rapids CenTral had a ball club. When The Team leTT ThaT Tield, Melvindale was convinced ThaT The CenTral HillToppers were no mean ball players. We won ThaT game 33-O. The boys did some TasT running To add up all Those poinTs. The nexT game would really decide wheTher CenTral High would have The TooTball championship Tor The season. The game wiTh Union in OcTober would Tell The sTory, and we were all on edge unTil Friday nighT when The gaTes aT Houseman Field opened and we crowded in To geT The besT seaTs. We wouldn'T miss a play oT This all imporTanT game. Our Team looked exTra big and sTrong when They raced ouT oT The club house and we cheered wildly and sang The school song wiTh new zesT To Tell Them ThaT we were all There. They iusT couldn'T leT us down. We made our TirsT Touchdown in The TirsT halT and were leading aT The halTg we all wished ThaT iT was over, IT only The gang could keep TighTing as hard Tor The remainder of The game! Back They came Tor The Third quarTer and Union ThreaTened, buT we were almosT ouT on The Tield holding ThaT line wiTh The Team, When The gun ended ThaT game, CenTral,.l9, Union O, we all TelT ThaT we had had a parT in winning The championship wiTh The Team. lT was a marvelous Teeling, buT we were exhausTed Trom The high Tension oT The game. We Tinished The season undeTeaTed on November 7 by beaTing SouTh High, Zl-0. Our TirsT undeTeaTed season since i932 - iT was wonderfull When Mr. UpTon presenTed The Team wiTh The TooTball Trophy aT The AThleTics Assembly, we were all preTTy proud ThaT we had been a parT oT CenTral and had backed our Team. The Lions Club honored The boys wiTh a luncheon and FooTball Trophy Too. Many oT The Team members placed on The all-ciTy Teams Tor boTh The Grand Rapids Press and The Herald, and were well represenTed on The All-STaTe Toofball Team.
