We dedicate with affection This issue of The Red and Black x ' . 1 TO CEN'I'RAL'S PRINCIPAL, MR. D. H. WEIR, ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL, MR. STANLEY HILL, THE FACULTY AND STUDENT BODY. Greetings from Colorado Springs, Colo., April 4, 1940. The end of school year 1939-1940 is just around the corner. I trust that the high hopes with which you entered this period have been realized! May June, 1940 find you happy in your achievements! During my travels, I have followed Central's career as recorded in the daily press, the Red and Black and the High School News, and have rejoiced with you in her successes. As I have taught in no other school, my affection for Central is undivided, and my dearest wish is that Central soon may have a new building worthy of her long and honorable life, located in a progressive district capable of expansion. One great asset of a Central graduate is that we graduates shine in the retiected glory of our alumni and alumnae who have rendered distinguished service to our national, our state and our city governments, or who have been or are now main- taining a high level of citizenship in the civil, economic, and cultural life of St. Louis. Wishing you all a vacation of leisure to enjoy your avocations, Very cordially your friend, LILLIAN M. HELTZELL. A BETTER WORLD If democracy were to fall, And despotism conquer all, If bigotry and hate prevailed, Alas! this world would be assailed With strife and misery. If man's enslavement were deemed right, And justice should succumb to might, If man could not attain his goal Without a censor's ruthless toll, This world would be no place for me. But if man would think in terms of good, And don a consul's righteous hood, lf man would crush that thought of lust, And trample hate into the dust, Then this world would better be. -STANLEY S. SHER, '40. Five ln Memoriam News of the passing of Miss Carrie E. Griffith on March 22, l94O brought much sorrow to her friends at Central and to her former pupils. Miss Griffith, after teaching English at Central for over thirty years, resigned in 1932. Though no longer connected With it, she did not lose interest in our school, but was ever eager to hear news concerning it. She was greatly beloved by many of her former pupils Who kept in touch with her for years after gradu- ation, because of the great encourage- ment she had given them. Her cheery smile will long be remem- bered by all who loved her. FQREWQRD We, the senior class of 1940, do solemnly dedicate this book to the cause of peace. We consider this dedication most appropriate in this year that has seen so much death, carnage, and de- struction. The time has come when our childhood days are behind us. Now it is our time to be on our way. We must enter into the affairs of a strife-ridden world, and it is our duty to shoulder the burden of the battle. However, ours will be a new type of battle, a battle for peace. Therefore, we shall press ever on- ward, never retreating, never ceasing until the battle for world peace has been won. This shall not be an American peace nor yet an English, French, nor German peace? but a peace that shall be enjoyed and zealously guarded by every member of the great brotherhood of man. CLAUDE DUVALL, '40 Seve OUR PRINCIPALS MESSAGE Central High School, in the year nineteen hundred forty, with eighty-seven years of glorious history behind her, is a living, throbbing entity, moving forward in the great world stream toward a destination beyond any present-known horizon. As she has served her youth in the past, so she strives today, with all the advantages of her rich, past experiences, to ennoble the lives of that moving throng, so interesting, so full of hope and promise. Yes, we of Central High School are ON OUR WAY. May HOUR WAYH be right, the way that has been blazed in the past by illustrious sons and daughters of Centralg a way that will con- tinue to be followed by each pulsating, enthusiastic member of this year's classes, rallying under a banner bearing the inscription FOLLOW ON. The URED AND BLACK of 1940 now becomes history. May its purpose, to reflect in a fragmentary way a portion of the life of a great school in a troublous time, be fully achieved. mei Principal, Central High School. Eight , ,, awww!!

M. in the school cafeteria. The purpose of the Club can best be stated by quoting from Article I of the Consti- tution and By-Laws adopted by the Club in 1938: 'tThe object of this organization shall be to pro- mote the welfare of the child in the school, home, and community, and to create a better understand- ing between parents and teachersf, The Club provides an excellent means by which the mothers of Central High students may become acquainted with each other, with the school executives, and with the faculty, furthermore, pupil entertainment, sponsored by the Director of Community Relations, affords an opportunity for members to become familiar with student activities in the school. The Mothers' Club has been doing an excellent, worthwhile piece of work. Money, earned through the Club's social activities outside of the school, is spent to provide food and clothing for C entra1's needy pupils and to purchase school equipment not provided by the Board of Education. May the fine spirit of loyalty and cooperation spur it on to greater and broader achievements in the future. The officers of the Central High School Mothers' Club for the year 1939 and 1940 are as follows: President Mrs. C. P. Riechers, jr. Treasurer .a... ..... . .. . ........ Mrs. C. H. Sullivan Vice-President.. ...,. Mrs. J. M. Ring Hospitality Chairman ......... Mrs. G. N00naI1 Secretary. . ....... ........ M rs. D. H.

For if you've done these things and more and love them every one, Then you have to a circus been, and wasn't it great fun?

Why does it fill my heart with glee? Why do the birds sing happily? Why--please tell me-why? Why? - Why do we have rules and laws? Why does my dog have muddy paws? Well-maybe it is just because. But why- tell me-why? Why? - Why does it have to rain today? Why can't I go out and play? I'd like to know what you will say So, tell me, won't you-why? A --ELwoon MILLER, '42.

YOU COULDN'T FOOL HIM There was once a -boy named Johnny who was very young, and had to be looked after very closely, as to what foods he ate, and at what times he ate the food. His mother, Mrs. Brown, watched him very closely, as she wanted her boy to be strong and healthy. At supper time Mrs. Brown would put food on johnnyis plate that was recommended for him by the doctor, and after he ate that, he was given more if he wanted it, just so he didn't eat too much. When Mrs. Brown had cake or pie tor supper, and she didn't think johnny should eat any of it at that time, she would spell it out to her husband like this, Hjohn, do you want any 'p-i-e' or 'c-a-k-e'? And her husband would answer according to his wishes. But Johnny was a wide-awake little boy, and knew something was going on. After this had gone on for several nights, Johnny observed that his mother didn't ask his father if he wanted any c-a-k-e or p-i-e at the usual time, so he waited a little longer. Then he said to his mother Mother, haven't you got any 'b-s-o' for supper tonight? Eighteen -BERNIECE BRIGHT, '42, X X' N, f Q ,Q MARSHALL K.

Tl-IE STUDENT CCDUNCIL X S we open the book of time and turn the pages, we read that in the year 1920 Central High organized an important institution. It was a Student Council. This Council lived and func- tioned for nine years and then suspended activities. Now let us turn the pages to 1939. It is recorded that a new Student Council was organized. The question is asked, Whv? The answer is to bring about Ugreater student participation in school government that might afford a practical training in worthy citizenship, to foster the spirit of greater cooperation between students and teachers and among the entire student body, in order that the general Welfare of the school may thus be promotedfl The Student Council is an organization made by the students, consisting of the students, to act for the students. It holds its meetings on the first and third Friday of the month and at any other time when called by the president or principal. It is a representative body, consisting of a representative and alternate from each advisory. Out of these, a cabinet of ten, representing each school term, is chosen. This acts as a nominating and executive body. What has the Council done? It has made a beginning. It has laid the corner stone for a permanent organization. It has drawn up a constitution as a framework. It has expounded a plan for future construction and given you, the stockholders, a preview of the finished structure with its successful Christmas basket campaign, when more than sixty baskets of groceries were distributed to families of the Central High. The Council will become the watch word of Central High. Mr. Freidli is the sponsor of the club. President ............

CO-C-HI HE girls' service club of Central has the name, Co-C-Hi, which signifies courtesy, kindness, and helpfulness. Each member of this club has a definite duty to perform, which in some manner helps to maintain order in the school. Locker room duty is one of the club's acts of service. A girl is stationed at the entrance to each locker room to note each person who enters and thus to protect the property of all the girls of Central. Co-C-Hi girls are the official guides of Central. They usher at Auditorium sessions and evening meetings. They collaborate with the Committee of Twenty in preparing the Christmas pro- gram for the school. A subcommittee of twelve girls is known as the Freshman Sponsor group. This group plans a Freshman Party each term to help the Freshies get acquainted. The Freshman Sponsors adver- tise the meetings of the Patrons' Association and Mothers' Club,' solicit new members and sell tickets. The Co-C-Hi has an outing for the members every term. The club has been in existence since 1914, and is noted for the effective execution of its duties. The girls feel that it is an honor to belong to such a club and hold its ideals as sacred. It is the wish of the members that the Co-C-Hi will always be held in esteem by both the members of the club and students of Central. Miss Dickman is the sponsor of our club.

COMMITTEE OF TWENTV t'Hey you! put your name on this sheet. VVhat's your reason for being down here this period? From what room did you come? These are familiar questions asked in the boys' locker rooms during any period of the day. Locker room supervision is only one of the many duties of the Committee of Twenty. In addi- tion to this duty the committee ushers at Aud'l sessions, tutors pupils having difficulty in any subject they are studying, assists the doctor, helps in the book room, assists in operating motion picture machines, and each term collaborates with the Co-C-Hi in giving the Freshmen their party. The Committee of Twenty theoretically represents the masculine Wh0's Who. It is made up of Central's intelligentsia, as all members must have an average of eighty or above in scholarship, and a majority of above average marks in characteristics. At present the club consists of twenty members and five associate members. Mr. Phillips is our sponsor. OFFICERS First Term.

SPELLING CLUB A HE Spelling Club was organized in the spring of 1937 when the first interscholastic spelling W tournament was sponsored by Radio Station KSD. It has been in existence since then, but is most active during the months immediately preceding the tournaments. At the meeting of the club, spelling is studied bv the members. Each pupil is given lists of spell- ing rules and material which is useful in word building, lists of roots, prefixes, and suffixes. Many lists of words, including copies of those given by the spelling master during the various spelling tournaments, are distributed among the members, and at times contests are held between the Red and Black teams. Before selecting a spelling team to represent Central High, words are submitted to each student in the school. Elimination, on the basis of highest scores, follows. After the number has been reduced to about twenty, which is approximately the number of members in the club, competition begins. Since the team is composed of eight regulars and three alternates, this number is chosen from among members who have made the highest scores on several tests. Miss Doyle is the sponsor of the Spelling Club. fContinued from Page 572 Bob-Now, everythingls perfect-almost. Fin- ished just as soon as the engraver brings the picture for the first page.

All-IENAEUM EALS of laughter,- a terrific thump issued from Room 210. In answer to a startled fresh- man girl's query an upper classman replied, 'tDon't be alarmed, itls only initiation day for new members of the girls' Athenaeum. Surely, you've heard about Central's Athenaeum. It meets every other Wednesday. Let me show you what's going on in Room 210. Once inside, the upper classman continued, You see, we members set aside one Wednesday each term for initiation day. We require the new girls to wear a different kind of a shoe on each foot, a big childish hair ribbon, or do something equally humorous. But they don't mind, she added. 'iltls worth it. We have much fun at our parties and scavenger hunts, yet, in addition to our fun, we settle down and learn some helpful fundamentals of debating and speech making. 4'I'm surely glad I joined. Why, do you know, before I joined the Athenaeum, I was so self- conscious that every time I got up before a group, my knees actually knocked! Now, Ilm used to facing the musicg for Miss Thomure, our sponsor, and the girls helped me to overcome my self- consciousness. Miss Thomurels not at all formal, and she enters into the fun wholeheartedly. We were very glad to have you today. Now that you've learned about our club, wonlt you plan to join us when youlve grown up to be a second termerf' The freshman, now quite over her embarrassment, replied, 'fYou bet, I want to join your club. I know I'm going to enjoy being in the Athenaeum. You're all so friendly. Goodbye, see you next term. OFFICERS First Term Second Term President ............ ..............................

BOYS' LITERARY SOCIETY Q HE Boys' Literary Society, the oldest organization of its kind west of the Mississippi, has taken a prominent place in Centralls activities for over seventy years. The club at present is sponsor of the debating team and holds on its programs numer- ous debates ranging from comic to serious subjects. In the last two terms, the club has had many activities. Among these have been participation in the Armistice Day program, debates, declamation contests, liars' contests, extemporaneous speeches, and lastly, mock trials, a Boys' Lit. specialty. Participants in the Armistice Day program were Harold Hoelscher, Henry Bergel, Robert Hughes, and Robert Asbille. The four speakers discussed the results of the World War, both good and bad. The Boys' Literary Society, which boasts of quite a number of honored alumni, who have dis- tinguished themselves in the world, strives on to uphold and maintain the standards and traditions that members for over seventy years have set. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Davis, and with the support of its members this, we are sure, can be accomplished. OFFICERS First Term Second Term President ..

LA CASTILLA Adelante, siempre adelantef' t'Forward, always forward. HE La Castilla was organized in 1921 by Mr. john Bays, a teacher in Central High. When Mr. Bays was appointed City Supervisor of Modern Languages in 1925, Miss Anna jean Gibney, who has since proved herself able, considerate, and sympathetic towards her appreciative students, became sponsor. The club has for its purpose: first, to teach its members to express their thoughts in easy con- versational Spanishg second, to get better acquainted with the life, literature, and customs of the Spanish American countries who are our neighbors. At the Fiesta, which is a time of merriment, given at the end of each year there are excellent refreshments, Spanish dances, and songs. Among our songs are La Paloma, Cielita Linda, O Solo Mio, and Miss Gibneyis favorite: V' Amo tu nombre, Amo tus rocos, Amo tu Sol, Y ante ti siempre, Tierra gigante, Palpita amante Mi Corazon. A new feature which added interest to the Club's programs was an original composition by the president, Ross Russo, entitled r'Rhapsody Espanol, dedicated to our sponsor. While many officers in the past have lent their efforts to make the club the most worth while in Central, none have been more outstanding in that direction than those of the present term whose names we submit.

Marcella Hutson, JITTERY KNITTERS VERY one probably would like to know why the knitting club has adopted a name like the C Jittery Knitters. You will find your answer in Room 212 on Wednesdays at 2:30. In this society the members are busy on numerous articles to wear and for gifts. Some of the girls are starting spring sweaters, while others are busily making their scarfs and hats to match. Mrs. johnson, a professional knitter, paid our club a great honor by attending one of the meetings recently. The Jittery Knitters are planning an all day outing on Miss Randall's farm some time in the near future. Hmmm! Don't you wish you could go? The club has made such progress that the next item made will be an afghan which we wish to show at the 1941 school carnival. The constitution of the Jittery Knitters was drawn up February 27, 1940, by Billie Ann Schulte, Bobbie Luhrsen, and Marcella Kalinoski. The officers are: President-Marcella Kalinoski, a cute little number with bright ideas. See her new dog sweater! Vice-President-Mary Ellen Poole, a very quiet and dignified person, who started a yellow sweater, it's black now. Secretary-Bobbie Luhrsen, a nifty number with blonde hair and blue eyes. She hopes to have her sweater finished by next Christmas. Treasurer-Marcella Hutson, who still plays with dolls-woolly ones. Campaign Agent-Billie Ann Schulte, cute and nice with bright ideas. Now that you have an idea of what We accomplish in our club and the fun we have being useful, you will understand why we enjoy our meetings to the utmost. We wish to express our thanks to Miss Randall who so willingly gives the girls of Central High School her time and experience as sponsor of our club. 1 x f ' I 1 -V , gg.. A ' 0 , sd S 5 l ..

BOYS' CHEF CLUB ANY requests for a cooking club for boys led to the organization in October, 1938 of the Cher Club of Central High School. In the beginning the membership was limited to twelve, but on account of the large number of applications. it was deemed advisable to admit twenty-four boys. Membership, however, is limited to the upper term pupils. In the Chef Club, camp and scout cooking are important features of the workg correct carving and the serving of foods attractively are given much attention. One of the high spots of the club's existence is'the memory of a certain autumn afternoon spent at the country-home of Mrs. Oscar Kincheloe, where dinner was cooked and served from a magnificent open grill in the garden. At that meeting many mothers were guests of the boys. At the regular meetings, the boys are initiated into the intricacies of making such delicacies as biscuits, muffins, Waffles, and cooking such appetizing foods as steaks, vegetables, and desserts. Miss Crowder is the sponsor of the Chef Club. Officers First Term Second Term President . . ..... . .. ..... O Robert Hughes President . ...... ....................c. R obert Hughes Secretary.

COMMERCIAL SERVICE CLUB f F you happen to wander on the third floor an Th d f y urs ay a ter school, you will hear a gentle but fast click-clack sound coming from some room, but you do not know from where this sound comes. This gentle click-clack has an enticing sound and like a magnet it draws you towards its source. After walking a bit, the sound drawing you on, you stop in front of Room 301. Peeping in, you see many heads bent and many fingers swiftly covering the typewriter keys. You stand still and take in this industrious scene. Then, a young person asks you whom you wish to see. After answering that you are an interested spectator, you wander around to see just what is being done. You see so t d b ' ' ' ' me s u ents usily addressing cards some are typing letters' and others are bus , Y cutting stencil sheets. Near the door the mimeograph is going at top speed., You have been visiting the Commercial Service Club, and you learn that it was organized September, 1939. The purpose of the Club is to do typewriting, mimeographing, and other com- mercial work for the teachers. Pupils who are taking Typewriting 4, and those who have a G or an E average in Typewriting 3 are eligible for membership. The Commercial Service Club meets on Thurs- days at 2:30 in Room 301, under.the leadership of Miss Ewing. Last semester the membership was twenty-five and this semester the membership is thirty-tive. All the members of our club appre- ciate the opportunity we have to improve our typewriting while we are giving service to our school.

Tl-IE PEPPERUPPERS f HE familiar cry urah rah is heard at most athletic games, and to enliven Central and to D cheer for its teams is the duty of all loyal Centralites. We, the Pepperuppers, a recently organized club, are going to make the welkin ring at all Central's gatherings. The members of this club are selected for their ability. They must be leaders in clubs, sports, or in some other school activity. To gain membership in this club, one must be chosen by a com- mittee, appointed by the members, and then voted on by every member of the club. To gain member- ship in this wide awake organization is a real honor. The question, lust what do they intend to do? is asked by some scoffersl We can easily answer this simple question. First of all, we wish to foster, acknowledge, and encourage school spirit, not only at hair-raising sports, but at debates and oratorical contests as well. Then, we wish to coordi- nate that spirit. It is as Confucius would say: Much better to cheer together than to cheer apart. Every one likes a partner, and those who will not cheer if alone might be encouraged to help if given moral and physical help by others. We shall endeavor to back all activities even though at times the results of the games are disheartening. It really takes more courage to back a loser, if he is a good one, than to rah rah for a winner. The members of the club will have a chance to buy a club emblem. Continued membership will be determined by a point system. These points will be given for attendance at games, debates, contests, meetings, and for participation in school activities. So come out, Centralites, and back this new club and its members to the limit, for, if we don't all have pep together, we will live a .drab existence apart. The minimum points needed for remaining in the club shall be fifty per term. Sixty-reven BICLGGV CLUB Say, Bill, have you decided what club you are going to join? No, Sam, not yet. I think we ought to do a bit of investigating before we join any. What do you think of the Biology Club?l' HNow, Bill, do you really want to join that Club? I bet all they ever do is have meetings and cut up bugsf' Well, Sam, welll soon find out. There's Casey. He will know as he is a member. Hi, Casey! 'fWhat do you fellows want? What's all the serious conversation about? 37 4'We want to know something about the Biology Club? 'iSwell-that's right down my alley.

'iWe have gone to Falling Springs, Cliff Cave, Creve Coeur, Meramec Quarry, Sugar Creek, Ranken Cave and Chain of Rocks Park. We have had some swell bus trips. That sounds all right to mef' Incidentally, we cover about two-hundred fifty miles a term and spend about twelve hours a day on an outing. HWhat do you do about lunch? Do you bring it or buy it? f'We usually bring food that we can cook in the open. Can you think of anything more deli- cious than a grilled hamburger smothered with onions or a finely barbecued steak sandwich topped off with a good, clear, cold drink of spring water?l' HI believe I know what club I am going to join.

Our meetings have been made very interesting by Mr. Powell and the members who perform experiments and gave interesting talks. The program for the year, planned by the vice-president and a special committee, furnished serious and humorous entertainment. One of the interesting experiments that was performed by the members was the demonstration of how a dirigrible is launched into the air. This was accom- plished by the use of hydrogen and soap bubbles. We also demonstrated how a deep sea diver's torch is operated under water. Among other experiments, were the making of gunpowder and explod- ing it, and last, a very interesting program on plastics. The activities of the club include trips to different places of interest to chemistry students. In the past, the club has gone to soap factories. bottling works, baking companies, to the city chemist, Washington University School of Medicine, Barnes Hospital, and many other interesting places. The high light of the year is our annual Weiner roast held at Forest Park. Here we all have a very good time. OFFICERS First Term Second Term President ...... ...,... . . . .. . . .

THE MIKE CLUB HROUGH the proceeds of the carnival sponsored by the Mothers' Club in 1939, Central High School purchased a modern public address system with phonograph and radio. Shortly after that, under the sponsorship of Mr. Christenson, the 'tMike'l Club was organized with this main purpose in mind: to serve the school with this new equipment. At iirst, there were only several students experienced in the operation of this equipment, but, as other students became interested, they were taught the principles of the public address system. Finally, these students held a meeting, elected their officers, and named their new club the Mike Club. This club has rapidly grown until it has become one of our school's most useful clubs. The Mike Club serves the school Whenever its assistance is required. Private groups, public assemblies, and school activities have enjoyed the services which the club has extended to them, and the club will continue to extend these services whenever it is asked to do so.

DL During the winter ice skating season, a meeting is held every Thursday to determine the number of members who will go skating on Friday, the following day. The club has a special rate for taxicabs which allows them to be driven to the Winter Garden for the cost of seventy cents. The Winter Garden has given the club a reduction in admission price and will cooperate with the sponsor in arranging special hours for races and contests. The dues are twenty-tive cents and the amount adequately provides for the weiner roasts and picnics so well known to the regular skaters. Those members who pay dues and attend eight skating sessions in succession are awarded an emblem, shaped like an ice skate, and suitable for wearing on a sweater. After the ice skating season, the club enjoys bicycling, hiking, picnicking, and other outdoor sports. The club welcomes new members. Miss Breckenridge is the sponsor of this interesting club.

Thank you. Surely, you've heard that often lately. Central's Hshutter bugs have been busier than bees the past year under the sponsorship' of Mr. Prelutsky, working for the Red and Black and the club of which they are so proud. Our purpose? Oh, thatls an easy one- to render maximum service to the school - to improve our technique in the field of photography -and to start beginners in this great hobby. Work? Why no! anything but! Did you ever watch a picture take form in our little dark room? If you have, then you know that it isn't work, and if you haven't, you donlt know what you're missing. Play? Of course! Didn't you hear about the 'ldeluxeu outing which took place March 31? No fooling, if it came to a vote, weld say it's the 'csnapvpiest club in the school.

It annoys some people to be laughed at, or to be asked to do some extra work, or to be awakened a little early, but not me, for I have my own special dislikes which may or may not be justiiied in the esteem of other people. It annoys me to have people step on my shoes, especially right after I've shined them. Some bright morning I awaken with pleasant thoughts, and I have a feeling of good fellowship toward everyone when I walk into school, sporting my recently shined shoes. As I go into one of my classes, someone steps on my shoes and hurries off, saying the rectifying phrase, Pm sorry. From then on the world seems to be against me. I get angry when my parents tell me to run an errand just as I am ready to go somewhere. just as I put on my hat and coat to do a little stepping out, my mother calls me and says, S-ay, John, would you mind running an errand for me? Of course, you w0uldn't. Then she tells me to get so-and-so from somewhere or to do such-and-such. Usually, I would have been at home all after- noon, and, of course, my parents wouldn't have said a word. They always seem to strike the most inopportune time for my running errands. It annoys me to have to wait for someone. One cold, wintry day, I agree to mee Jack on such- and-such a corner. I arrive at the designated spot a little early, but not jack. Eight o'clock, no Jack. Eight-fifteen, still no Jack. Eight-twenty, still no Jack. By the time he does arrive, I have reached both the boiling and freezing points. If we had agreed to meet at my house or some cozy spot, he would have arrived right on the secondg but when we agree to meet on a corner on a chilly, windy day, he arrives late. But of all these grievances, none can compare with the annoyance of answering a telephone and finding that the person on the other end of the line has called the wrong number. When I am taking a shower, I hear the phone ring and after I break my neck trying to get to the phone, I find that the person has the wrong number. When I just get up the steps to the front door, I hear the 'phone ring and I kill myself again trying to answer it. What do I find, but another wrong number? Of course, this couldn't happen when I am comfortably seated near the 'phone! When one of my pets springs up, they all come. When this happens, I just give up and be- come more set on the idea that my pet peeves, like the poor, will be with me always. -JOHN GOULIAS, '42. Seventy- five -5 . .-:-'-'Y:1:i:l5:1:i?:-.'

OLD MAN CENTRAL: I hope you emerge successfully, son, from the hard- ships that confront you in the next four years.

Good-bye, son. You will now be known as Everyfreshman until Studies approves your promotion to the next year. EVERYFRESHMAN: So long, Old Man Central. I'll try to do as you say.

Try to do better next time. TEMPTATION: Say, what about skipping the third hour with me and Truancy. Truancy's a swell guy. EVERYFRESHMAN: No, not me. You know what Confucius said, don't you? t'He who skip class, never pass. TEMPTATION: Okay, but you'll miss a lot of fun. We're going over on Grand for a little grub.

Theylre all going the wrong way. fBumps into Seniorj SENIOR: Hey, Buddy, get a load of that arrow. Does it point up or down? Say, you'd better buy an elevator ticket.

Gee, how had she escaped his eyes all this timelj EVERYFRESHMAN: Hey, Loyalty, what is that cutie's name? LOYALTY: It's Two-faced Ann. But you'd better leave her alone. EVERYFRESHMAN: Aw, shut up.

After class Everyfreshman is walking along by Ann.J EVERYFRESHMAN: Gee, Ann, I'm sorry. But how about giving me another chance next term? ANN: No, I never wait for anyone. Good-bye.

EVERYFRESHMAN: Gee, thanks for telling me. I feel better now, and anyway I guess girls don't mix with my work. So long, old man. I'll find my real pal, Loyalty.

Now state once more, and briefly, your complaints against this young scamp, and try to say something good about him, just to be fair. SPORTS: It's that darn Romance. He started out all right, regular rough and tumble guy. In there all the time pitching for all he was worth. Now he's all for that Romance. All the exercise he gets is washing his neck, shining his shoes, and pressing his pants. I never see him. CLUBS: Nor I. His dues go for cokes and movies for May Romance. I will say he has improved in appearance and would be a credit to the club if he would come. CHUMS: Hels no time for me. When I tell him that he's a sap, he just smiles very uppity at me and walks off to find May Romance! OFFICE: Well, Studies, you donlt seem to have anything to say. STUDIES: I've got plenty to say. I warned the young rascal -just as I always do, but did he heed my warning? He did not! At the beginning he got fairly good grades, but this quarter he got an HF . I never see him any more.

Have I made myself plain? PROMISES: Here, too. I OFFICE: You all have. You've painted Everyjunior rather black. I was a Junior, once, myself, several years ago.

CEveryjunior enters: takes a defiant stand.j EVERYJUNIOR: You sent for me? OFFICE: Yes. Ilve had some complaints about you. EVERYJUNIOR: I know. It's these busybodies.

But in moderation, of course. There's more than Romance in school. Do you realize you may be failed for the term unless you start working? EVERYJUNIOR: Well, go ahead and fail me. Who cares?

I'm surely glad you made it to the top of that hill of Knowledge. Ezghtx three NOT ALL PRETENSE OB crept into the room. He eased the door shut, pulled off his hat, leaned against the wall, and stared about him. What a pleasant sight met his eyes! There was a table set for two people. The table, made of brown oak, was filled with good things to eat. There were chicken sizzling brown, mashed potatoes, gravy, celery, milk, bread, corn, tomatoes, noodles with that grand chicken gravy over it, cake, and dessert, which was pink jello with whipped cream over it. As Bob was looking at these delicious things to eat, an old man with a long gray beard came into the room. Bob did not know what to say, or dog he just stood there. Suddenly the old man rasped, What are you doing here? Bob said, I have no home and was so very hungry that I came in to ask for a sandwichf' The old man grew gentle. Come, my little boy, you are the answer to an old man's prayer. Fifty years ago to-day my little boy who looked just like you passed away. He always enjoyed this day during his life time because it was his birthday and his mot.her's also. Every year I set this table for two and pretend that my little boy is with me. It makes me a bit cheery even if it is only make-believe, but today I don't have to pretend. -V1oLA UNDERBERG, '43. THE HUNCHBACK My grandfather, who came from Poland, often told stories to the children, and the following is one I liked especially well. During one of the wars my grandfather was serving a double duty, as signal operator and customs inspector.- In the,course of his job he had to search wagons, trucks, and people to see if they were illegally taking 'anything into the country. One old man, a hunchback, was allowed by my grand- father to go in and out of the country several times, because he had nothing nor had he committed any act contrary to law. Then one day after my grandfather had become suspicious, he began watching the man very carefully to see if he was doing anything wrong. This old man, in the meantime, kept going and coming until he made a trip almost every day. This seemed very odd to my grandfather, who ob- tained permission to search the man thoroughly. Upon doing this the whole situation was cleared. iThe man was not a hunchback at all, but was a little man with a small basket strapped on his back to give that effect. In this basket he put whatever he wanted and walked into the country, where he disposed of these things, tobacco, liquor, certain types of newspapers and magazines for which the people would pay generously. When all these facts were revealed, the man was imprisoned for a long term. Thus we see that this man who had been fooling the authorities for so long finally reached his just end. -KENNETH KNOERNSCHILD, '42. A VISIT TO GERMANY When we arrived in Berlin in June about five years ago, things were just beginning to happen. We were visiting our relatives, telling of our trip and exchanging greetings one evening, when shots and crashes could be heard. People started to run into the streets, just to be pushed back into the hallways by the police. Windows were broken with stones, and many people hurt or killed. The Communists had started a revolt against the government. The fighting and shooting continued a long time, No one dared to go into the street. All doors and windows were locked. Finally, reports over the radio came, saying that the disturbance was over, and many Communists had been captured. What a relief! The streets were covered with glass and clothing, and only the third floor windows of the school I later attended remained unbroken. After the tumult was over, we went to Czechoslovakia to visit my grandparents, where it was peaceful and quiet. There we stayed till the middle of October and then went back to Berlin. I did not intend to go to school there, but an officer came with a dispatch ordering me to go to school since I had been there over three months. This was really hard, especially when I had to start again from the beginning. I was not put in kindergarten but had to go to the home of one of my teachers for help with my work. Every week a special teacher would come and dictate a story in German to the children. Since I was in the class I had to write, too. When my paper was returned to me, I had about fifty mistakes. By the time I understood the work, it was time to leave for America again. We were very glad to set foot again on American soil. -IRENE SCHENDZICLORZ, '4Z. Eighty-four SMOKE ID you ever watch smoke? Sometimes it climbs lazily out of a chimney, twisting and wind- ing, looking like a huge white snake against the clear blue sky. Sometimes it rushes up from a house on fire. Then it is ugly and threatening. It mars the beauty of the clear sky by placing a dark splotch of gray against the starry blue. There, also, is the smoke which covers the city like a blanket, shutting out the sunshine and leaving dingy clouds. Sparkling windows, bright houses all are covered with dust and grime. - The smoke which I like best is the smoke that arises from a campfire at night. It seems to dance, swaying this way and that, heading straight up, seeming to touch the twinkling stars. It is a clear grayish white, dotted with bright orange sparks, which gradually fade. You know that around this campfire someone is spending a pleasant evening. ' -BRUCE COPPEDGE, '44, MY WESTERN TRIP LAST year I had the pleasure of seeing the Ubest in the westf' Our destination was California, but on the way we visited many interesting places. First we stopped at the Petrified Forest, and enjoyed walking around petrified trees which we found lying around on the ground. Farther on we approached the Painted Desert. This is a large desert over which very few cars travel. One may find quite an few cacti growing on this dry land, and the high surrounding mountains portray various colors which refiect on the desert, giving it its name. The Boulder Dam was next on our list. There is enough cement in this dam to build a two- lane highway from Miami, Florida to Seattle, Washington. We finally reached Los Angeles and spent a week seeing the movie stars, Wiltshire Bowl, the Griffith Observatory, and various other places. Yosemite Valley, which is quite close to Los Angeles, was another sight full of interest and beauty. When we finally reached home, we realized what an interesting trip we had had, and what marvels of scenic beauty our United Stateshhas to delight the eye, and amaze the mind. -KATHRYN KURTH, '44. MY PEN PALS I have several pen pals. I correspond with a girl in Hawaii, a boy in Holland, a girl in Switzer- land, and a girl in the United States. The boy in Holland, who knows English only from learning it at school, has told me in his letters that they do not wear Dutch clothes as we imagine but clothes similar to ours. On only one island do they wear Dutch clothes because of the many visitors. They have street cars and typewriters and all the modern conveniences just as we have. In Hawaii, I am told, they also wear the regular clothes, as we do. On one of their beaches they have what is known as Barking Sand. The sand is so dry that when struck, it makes a noise which is called barking. Their high schools are carried on the same way as ours are. For Christmas, my pal sent me a Tampa purse-made from the bark of the Tampa tree. As a clasp it has a pine- apple carved out of a very hard nut. The -change purse has a fish carved out of the same kind of nut. The Hawaiians have camps just as we do. One of the camps is near a mountain called f'Elephant Mountain because it has the shape of an elephants back. In Hawaii they recently opened up a new post oflice where every letter sent that day received a stamp of the new post office on the envelope. My pen pal sent my letter that day so that I received this stamped envelope. As the girl in Switzerland is a great stamp collector, we have been exchanging stamps. She has also asked for me to send pictures of movie stars, as they are hard to get there. This girl learns English only in school and cannot write English letters. She had someone to help her write my letters. As this helper had moved away from her, my last letter came to me in French. I could not under- stand it, so I had Miss Lowry translate it. Last of all, my pen pal from the United States attends a Lutheran High School in Wisconsin. I wrote to an Indian girl attending this high school, but, as she was ill and had all she could do to answer her tribal friends, she gave my letter to my present pen pal and we' are now corresponding. I enjoy corresponding with people in other countries, and I would advise any one else to get a pen pal. -EUNICE ULLMANN, '42. Eighty-jvc 1 MY MEMORY SONG There is one song that will remain in my memory forever, and that is Little Lady Make Believe. How true the words of the song are! Perhaps not to you, but they are to me. The song brings back memories of the days when I used to dress up in my mother's clothes, of the times that I dressed up in her high heel shoes, paraded in a long dress, and carried one of her discarded purses. I was in my glory. I could not be compared with others because I was somebody. I had a room, which had once been the store room, on the second fioor of the house. In it were all my party dresses, shoes, and so forth. It was fixed up with some discarded furniture, but I valued this as Mother valued her best. On Saturdays I had two or three of my girl friends in for the afternoon, and we would retire to our apartment for a really gay time. Of course, I had done my Saturday's cleaning in the morning and could afford to have my afternoon off. We gossiped of books, games, and various other things. My mother prepared a lunch for us, but we pretended to cook it ourselves before eating it, for that made it taste better to us. Girls, can't you remember way back when -you also did these things? Or when you see small girls doing this now, doesn't it bring back memories? I -HELEN Bnon, '42. A SOLO FLIER I became interested in flying when I was six years old and repeatedly told the family that I was going to be a pilot. Later on I made model airplanes. Although my dad-,Was much interested in my hobby, he would not take a flight in an airplane because he always said, f'It's too dangerous. A After my dad had a conversation with an experienced air pilot, he was very much impressed and finally consented to let me go up with the pilot for a ride. The first time I went up alone because my dad preferred to remain on the ground. The major's plane in which I made my first flight was a 1929 Curtiss-Robin. When we started to take-off, I wanted to get out, but the fright was all over in a minute. The major went up two thousand feet, and, when I looked down, I saw many toy-like cars. We flew over the Mississippi into St. Louis where I could pick out buildings like Famous-Barr and the Court House. When the major cut the motor and started to make a landing, the spark plugs started to backfire and miss. Landing is the greatest thrill of all because one just seems to float down smoothly and grace- fully. However, when we hit the ground, I' thought the plane was going to fall apart because of the rattling and vibrations. When I got out of the plane, Dad and I went over to one of the offices and signed up for lessons. When Saturday, the day of my first lesson, arrived, I met my instructor, Mr. Schaffer. When we got up in the air, he gave me the controls, which consisted of a stick which controlled the ailerons and the elevators, and two foot-pedals which controlled the rudder. He explained that when the stick is pushed forward the plane goes down, and when the stick is pulled back, the ship climbs. Pressure on the right pedal turns the plane to the right, and the opposite result is obtained from the left pedal. Slight pressure on both the stick and the right foot-pedal banks the plane to the right, similar pressure with the stick and the left pedal, banks the plane left. In straight tiying the nose of the ship is always kept on the horizon. After that I went back every Saturday for a lesson of twenty minutes until I had five hours of flying. After this the instructor allowed me to take off and land. Shortly after, I changed to the Lambert Field flying school in St. Louis County. After ten hours of dual flying at Lambert Field, I was allowed solo. I taxied around into the wind, and when I got the signal, the green light, I took off. I didn't realize I was alone until I was in the air. It was the lonesomest feeling I have ever had. After that I always tiew alone. One nice day the instructor brought two parachutes and said, We are going to learn tail spins and loop-the-loops today. That day at three thousand feet he put the ship into a spin, and told me to bring it out. After I had learned this, he showed me how to do the loop-the-loop. What an experience! I thought my brains were going to push through my head. Later on I fiew by myself over the city and took a picture of my house. I now have seven and one-half solo hours, and I am going to iiy again as soon as the weather permits. -GENE CHAPMAN, '43. Eightv-.rix WE'RE NOT SO DUMB Many of the students have had their fun with us for which I am very happy. It is nice to know that we have given amusement. But now, that we are two, we feel that we are becoming important in the world. -LAWRENCE MEIER, '43. BEAT OF MY HEART I am going to do my best so that some day I, too, will receive the colors of the school. I saw the class of january 1940 receive their colors. This made my heart beat so fast, I was thinking of that future day when I would march down the aisle wearing the Red and Black colors. -VIRGINIA HOHLT, '-43. THE BOY AND THE CANDY BARS A small boy went into a grocery store to get warm, as it was very cold outside. The store was crowded, and no one noticed him come in. On the counter he saw some candy bars which were very tempting to his eager eyes. He reached for one, but it was too far away. Standing on his tip toes. he tried again, but still failed. The third time he jumped, but to no avail. He became angry, and walk- ing out of the store said, Oh well, they are all probably stale, anyway. IT IS EASY TO DESPISE WHAT YOU CANNOT GET. -DOROTHY LAUTz, '42, THE AMATEUR AND THE PROFESSIONAL Once there was a great chemist who had concocted a very useful gas to be used in defensive warfare. He was praised very much by the public and by other scientists for this great invention. His story was filmed and shown in all the motion picture theaters. One Sunday at a matinee a little boy saw this film. and after the show he went home and told his father what a wonderful chemist this man was. Now, the boy's father was an amateur chemist, and he thought he knew as much as the well-known scientists didg so he went to work in his base- ment with his set. After he had worked hard for several days, he thought he had something. He began to mix what he thought were the necessary ingredients and just as he put in the last chemical. there was a great roar. He was thrown off his feet and when he looked dazedly around, he found his chemical set was ruined and the basement filled with smoke. As he cleaned up the mess, he muttered: NOW I KNOW HOW FOOLISH IT IS TO TRY TO DO SOMETHING WE CANNOT DO. -GLORIA GUIOT, '42. THE OLD WOMAN AND HER SON A very old woman had a very large wash to be done, so she sent her son to ask her friends and neighbors to come early the next morning and help her. The old woman waited until noon, but not a soul came. Well, said she to her son, I perceive that our friends are not to be depended upon: so go to your aunt's house and tell her I wish that she would be here early in the morning to help me. The woman waited for her the next day, but she did not come. She then turned to her son and said, Billy, be sure that you get up early in the morning to help me carry the water from the creek to the house, so that we may wash the clothes ourselves. The next day the clothes were washed by the good woman and her son. HE WHO WOULD HAVE THINGS WELL DONE MUST DO THEM HIMSELF. -MILDRED IscHUK, '42. THE MISSIONARY AND THE NATIVE One day a missionary was walking through an African jungle, picking flowers and looking at the birds. After he had picked a few flowers he started home but found he had lost his way. He sat down to rest. Hearing footsteps, he looked up to find a little native boy. He explained, as best he could, to the boy that he was from the mission and was lost. The little boy took his hand and led him to the edge of the jungle. The missionary thanked him and went on his way. Several days later, as the missionary was walking through a near by forest, he heard a faint cry. Upon investigating, he found that the native boy who had befriended him had fallen into a lion trap. The missionary helped him out. The boy smiled and said in his native language, A KIND- NESS IS NEVER WASTEDP' -OLIVE STAGER, '42, Eighty seven THE AMERICAN BOY The American boy is an ideal boy. He is born with a love for his country. Fighting is not taught him forcefully when he is not yet out of knickers. Freedom to spend his time in the way he wants is his. .He has the love of his parents and their protection. He is taught the truth and taught thoroughly. Let us compare the American boy with a boy from another country. A boy is born in an Amer- ican home. In a few years he is walking, and plays with his parents and other companions. In certain other countries the birth of a boy to a family means another soldier some day. In such countries he does not play with a tin horn or a ball, but with a gun. The American boy grows a little more, and participates in baseball and other sports as he wishes. In another country a boy grows up, and as soon as possible is put under government supervision for training as a future sol- dier. The American boy looks at life the way he wishes, and chooses his companions in variety or as he wishes. In another country the boy sees life only in one light, that of militarismg all his com- panions are soldiers. In America one says, The youth of today is the future citizen of tomorrow. In certain other countries one says, The youth of today is the soldier of tomorrow. The American boy enjoys life in a peaceful land. As for the boy of that other country, he doesn't enjoy life much and often doesn't live long enough to learn to enjoy it. An American boy can never fully express his gratitude for his blessing, for they are too many and too great. The youth of the other countrv has little difficulty in expressing his gratitude, because he has so little for which he'can be grateful. -EDWARD BRAIBISH, '41, CIVILIAN CONSERVATION CORPS Back in 1933 -the government started what is now known as the C. C. C. After the passing of only seven years, there are now over 200,000 camps in the United States alone. The idea of the camps, at first, was merely to supply jobs to young men who were unemployed, but the Corps has done so much in the way of soil and forest conservation that it is now a permanent organization. Lately, anyone who desires education, a means of support, or a way to learn a trade can join the camps. The C. C. C. helps in many ways to develop the country, but mainly in two ways: The organ- ization helps prevent crime by taking all young men from the streets and giving them a job. It allows them to take up either a craft or high school subjects, which are given the same merits as a subject taught in any high school. The corps helps the farmers of the U. S. greatly, because year by year the farm lands are going to waste, either by soil erosion, or neglect. Through the Corps the farmers can obtain work from capable and experienced foremen who know what they are talking about. The camp life for the boys isn't all workg everyone has his time for pleasure, too. In every camp there is a building called the recreation hall, usually containing a few ping-pong and pool tables and a sort of canteen where confections, tobacco, or toilet articles are on sale to the boys. Everything is run on schedule, just as in army life. The boys are quartered in barracks which contain twenty bunks each, and each boy has to take care of his own particular bunk and belong- ings. The work is usually done in quarries, in the timber, or on farms. The C. C. C. was first started by President Roosevelt. Now that the government has made it a permanent part of its function, the Corps is admired by all who are affiliated with it and its members. -BILL TINSLEY, '42, ON WRITERS AND WRITING How many times a day do we write or watch someone else Write? Have you every considered the thousand and one different kinds of handwriters and handwriting? There is the energetic go- ahead who always speeds along as if his life depended on his finishing the line before a second passes. Then, there is the slow-but-sure stick-in-the-mud who plods carefully and painstakingly through every word. An amusing figure, I think, is the person who writes in spurts, in a large scribbly hand, with frequent pauses. He always seems to me to have a great deal of energy which he uselessly expends in inartistic scrawling. Our most illegible writer, I am sure you will agree, is the person Cninety-nine per cent of the time it's a girlj who writes in such a small and neat manner that it is only with Mr. Holmes' powerful glass that we can discern any wriggles in the apparently straight lines which go to make intelligible writing. Then, there is the person who writes very large and with too much emphasis on the O movement, the person who writes with the wrong slant, the person who uses green or violet ink, and last, the individual who cannot remember to dot his i's or cross his t's. -JOHN VAN DER VEEN, '41, Eighty-eight THE REMAINING PER CENT Cautiously, very cautiously that door was opened. So carefully was it swung on its hinges that it was apparently unheard and unseen. But from the frame building across the way, a pair of gleam- ing, scrutinizing eyes watched the door open! Still more carefully a head protruded from around the corner of the door. That look was hasty and significant. A hoarse whisper filled the narrow corridor, All clear, I'll go first! The eyes in the shadowy window across the way hardened. So,l' thought the owner of those eyes, 'fthey're trying it again, eh? Yet those eyes did not move. They watched! Again that door, ever so slightly was opened. It paused -a little more, still more, then it stopped! Now that head, that mysterious head appeared! Now an arm, a leg, a body slowly, deliberately slipped out from the door and stopped! The figure turned and beckoned. Another head appeared from the door, followed by shoulders and the remaining crouched body. The door closed! Bent over almost double, the two mysteriously sly persons crept along the building. The eyes in the old building again assumed that hard glint. Their owner stirred! Straighten- ing himself, he pulled a handkerchief from his coat pocket, it flew up to the face! He coughed a loud cough! The two creeping forms stopped! There was indecision in their poise. What to do, flee or re- main? They turned and ran for the door. The eyes leaped into action. The door of the ramshackle portable flew open, and a huge faculty member confronted the two fleeing boys, and they, freshies both, jumped erect. USO, you're still trying to buy candy, eh? -Lao STANISZEWSKI, ,41. DRIVING INTO THE GARAGE After coming home from a hard day of work, you decide to drive the car into the garage while it is still light. While coming up the driveway, you try not to run over the dogs that are running and barking in front of the car to welcome you home, the flowers along the driveway, and baby's tricycle which is in the way, and the clothesline overhead. Before entering the garage, you look to the left so as not to hit the hoe, John's bicycle, rake, lawn mower, your paint buckets and the pile of extra bricks which line the left wall. Having seen that you have enough room on the left, you look to the right so you will not scratch the paint off the car byf hitting the dogs' beds, Nancy's bike, the extra tire, the wheel-barrow, or step-ladder. At this point, if you are good at threading a needle, you might drive the car in without hitting anything. Keep your car under control and slow up gradually. Otherwise you will puncture the bag of fertilizer, mash flat the gladiolus bulbs, or run over the garden hose, which will certainly do it no good. With a sigh of relief you step out of the car, which has received no serious damage, only to discover that your precautions were too great and, as a result, the rear of the car sticks out so far that you can't close the garage door. -RICHARD BECKERT, '43. A NEW FIRE EXTINGUISHER Many years ago, just after my grandmother was married, the annual family reunion was held at great-aunt Mary's house. At this time travel in the Arkansas back-woods was very difficult. It took many days for my grandparents to reach their destination. As usual, the very minute every one arrived, the men and the older boys left for a whole day of hunting. It was early in the after- noon, and the women were all on the huge porch talking about nothing in particular, when someone cried, Fire! Everyone except grandmother ran from the house as fast as he could. Grandmnther went into the burning kitchen and poured all the water she could find on the fire and was getting quite worried when she remembered the freshly churned buttermilk. Quickly she poured it on the fire and, after repeating this unusual procedure several times, she had the fire under control. The men had been summoned by this time and finished putting it out. This amusing way of putting out a fire happened over fifty years ago, but the story is still being told. -GLENDA COOPER, '43. Eighty-nine' THE FRESI-IMEN ON THEIR WAY COLOR DAY I can always look ahead and see myself walking down the aisle on Color Day, as I saw the seniors marching on Color Day when I was just a freshman. -LORRAINE ROBERTS, '43. MERELY A NIGHTMARE Before the C.W.R.'s, which in case someone might ask, mean Comprehensive Written Re- views, I had terrible dreams of monster questions chasing me, leering at me, laughing at me. I'd wake up in a cold sweat, only to find the dread day was not yet here. 1LAVADA JA1RL,'43. TROUBLE IS HOT ON OUR HEELS What a lot of frightened freshmen we were when the time for the final tests of the term arrived. I remember casting a last look at my book before entering the room. After the tests, which really were not so bad after all, the long period of waiting before the grades were announced was hard to bear. -BERT NEWELL, ,43. L THAT GRAND FEELING At last! What a relief! I had passed every subject. In a few days I would be a two. ---BERT NEWELL, '43. NOT A LOST HORIZON I liked all my last term teachers so much, but I am very well pleased with the present ones. I hope I can graduate, but it seems so very far away. I wonder if I will or not. -HOMER BARTON, '43. THATS MY STORY I am very far off from being a senior, but constant and severe work will take me up the long ladder. -MARY MANz1o, '43, SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE, PLEASE One thing that seemed strange ,to me was the custom of signing up for the teacher you wanted. At first I thought only of the teachers I had had last term, but I have discovered the new teachers are nice, too. -LoRET'ro MULL1cAN,'43. CHATTER BOX OR BOXES Conversation is always floating around the school. One doesn't need to eavesdrop as usually the speaker is talking to no one in particular but loud enough for all to hear. -BERT NEWELL, ,43.

Even though Central is overloaded with students, it is what I call a swell high school. -GRACE CRABIREE, '43 YUM-YUM A bottle of milk fwhite in the bottle, pink on the cheeksj a dish of potato salad sprinkled over with bits of green pepper, a thin slice of pink ham, garnished with round red slices of tomatoes and pale green cucumbers, a dish of brown chocolate ice-cream with vanilla on top-that's a lunch fit for a king or just a tw0. -IDA HAENCHEN, '43. AND HOW As a two, people do not think one is really very big because one is just an in-between, in between the freshies and the seniors, in between play parties and dates. It's a real no-man's'land. And I don't mean perhaps! -CELESTE PoLI1:o,'43. Ninety FRESHMEN FLASI-IES WE'RE OFF! My first thought on coming to Central High School was, Oh, how shall I ever get used to all of these boys and girls and, especially, the teachers? THAT SHAKY FEELING When I first walked in the side door I can't begin to describe the funny feeling I had inside. My heart was jumping about like a hundred grasshoppers, and my legs felt all twisty and weak as if they were made of rope, not thick rope either. AND NOW, BOUQUETS As soon as I saw Mr. Weir and the teachers in the auditorium, which looked so big to me, I knew I was going to like this school. BUT WE HAD LOTS TO LEARN The corridors were already filled with boys and girls. They all looked as if they too were freshmen, nice and green. THE GLINT OF SILVER As some friends and I walked about the corridor, the silver cups in the glass cases caught our eyes. We decided Central must have won an awful lot of games. STATUES, TOO, FASHION MODELS NO DOUBT There are big, life-sized statues of very old fashioned people in the halls. We wondered who they were. HOW SMALL! I When school really began, I must admit that, although I had felt very high and mighty on graduation day, I now felt very small beside the third and fourth year students. THAT BLUE APPEAL The gym suits that the girls wear are a very good thing. One is not afraid to sit on the floor, and you can play games better. Besides they are pretty. HOW'S YOUR HEALTH Gymnasium was the first thought that came into my mind on entering high school. ON THE FLYING TRAPEZE I love to fly around on the rings. WAS MY FACE RED I hate to admit to being hungry more or less all the time, but I soon found the way to the lunch room. After standing in line a long time I finally reached the counter and asked the price of a sandwich. I slapped down a nickel, but I was coolly told I must have a lunch check. All around me rose the cry, Freshie, new jay, freshie! BIG SHOT, MAYBE! I sure like the job of being 'fRed and Blackl' salesman. I like to collect money and to do a little bookkeeping every day. But best of all, I will like to give the books to the boys and girls who have paid for them. NO MONKEY BUSINESS Central means work. At first I thought I would have to stay up late at night to study, but it isn't all work. Everyone is pleasant and willing to help with hard tasks. SMILES VS. FROWNS A I Mr. Weir, our principal, said, If you smile, the whole world smiles, but if you frown, the world frowns at you. It takes less muscles to smile than to frown. Ninety-one TOPS The most interesting study at high school is science. Mother Nature is a wonderful thing to know about. GIVE A THOUGHT TO SPRING A robin flies into your yard or sits on a telegraph pole. Hear his song so clear. His mate joins him and away they go. The ground is less solid. The warm winds blow. The trees are beginning to bud. Bicycles are running up and down the streets. Boys and girls, without coats or hats, are laughing and chatting. on the sidewalks. This is spring! ORCHIDS FOR CENTRAL I had heard from others that Central High School was not snobbish. I know that is true. Every- one is friendly at this school. If anyone asks me what I think of Central, my answer will be, It is the grandest school in the worldlv PASS IT ON I hope the rest of the year will be as nice as the past. In September I will try to make the freshmen as welcome as others have made me. CASTLES IN CORAL Beneath the ocean blue it seems, Where no one goes except in dreams, Stand castles built of coral shell, Made brilliant by a fairy spell. As tall as mountains stand they high, If on the earth they'd touch the skyg And round them grow in breathless glow, The coral gardens, shining so. The flowers sparkle rainbow hues, The castle band plays Goldfish Blues. The coral castle doors are wide, And mere-folk people dance inside. From top the tallest cas-tle, sang A Lorelei, whose gay voice rang, Intriguing all who swam to hear, To dance in water crystal clear. King Neptune sat upon his throne, Which like a jeweled Sunbeam shone, The oysters danced with oysterettes, And made a sound like castanets. Old Davy jones came out to dance, And Watch the young sea horses prance. Electric eels threw their sparks, And scared away the evil sharks. A great success the party made, But when the night began to fade, The coral castle stood alone, A huge and golden coral stone. -MARVEL DAFFRON, '42.

The team was coached by Vernon J. Bradburn and Harold Spross, who have worked together in previous years to turn out fine baseball teams at Central. During the high school season, Central won six league games out of seven, and beat McKinley in the championship deciding game. A resume of the games follows: Central lost a practice game to U. City, 5 to 1, at Heiman Park. The team proved mighty, starting the regular season by trouncing Southwest, 12 to O. Our confidence was increased the following week when our team nosed out Roosevelt, 8 to 7 The Red and Blackls third straight league victory was gained over Beaumont, 6 to O. On May 5, Central proved to be on its way to the title by whipping Blewett, 3 to 2. Central smothered C. B. C. in a practice game at Forest Park, 14 to 0. In an extra inning rampage, Central defeated Soldan, 8 to 3. At this point the Redwings had won five league games and lost none. The Midtowners next defeated the Cleveland title contenders, 8 to 5 in a furious battle. The only team between Central and the title was McKinley. Overconiidence on Central's part led to defeat for the Red and Black by McKinley, the score being 8 to 3. In the playoff game for the title between McKinley and Central, our team won a hard fought battle by a 3 to 2 count, thus winning the Baseball Championship. There were four non-league games scheduled for Central that were not played: two with U Cityg one with McBride, and one with South Side Catholic. 1939 April 4 April 8 April 21 Aoril 27 May 4 Ninety-four Central- 1 Central-1 Central-8 Central-6 Central-3 FINAL SCORES U.

BASKETBALL 1939-1940 REVIOUS to the 1939-'40 basketball season, the Red and Black basketeers captured the cham- pionship for two successive years, '37-'38, '38-'39. During this triumphant period the Mid- towners were victorious in seventeen consecutive encounters. As a result of this remarkable showing, the Michigan Cup now rests permanently in Central's possession. Central was not expected to make a very good showing during the '39-'40 season, due to the fact that several members of the ,38-339 championship team had graduated. This left the team handi- capped, as the majority of its players were inexperienced: but, to the pleasant surprise of all, the Central cagers forged ahead to end the season with a tie for fourth place. Since 1932 V. J. Bradburn and Earl Jansen have at different times coached the team. They have led Central to two league titles. In other years under their management, Central has made ex- cellent showings, including a tie for first place during the 136-'37 season. Under this efficient guid- ance, the morale of the team has been steadily increasing. To start the 1939-'40 campaign, Central was defeated by Beaumont in a pre-season game, 26-22. Due to the fact that only one letterman returned to the squad, the team's defense was shaky. Ken Wulfemeyer led Centralls attack, scoring sixteen of his team's twenty-two tallies. This game took place at Beaumont High. In its lirst non-league game of the regular basketball season, Central overpowered Fairview High, 33-18, at Fairview. Ken Wulfemeyer again tallied sixteen points, raising his total points for the season to thirty-two. In its first public high league encounter, Central, the defending champions, broke their win- ing streak of seventeen consecutive games by bowing to McKinley, 22-11. This was the Midtowners' lirst defeat since january 14, 1937. Belobradic led the Goldbugs' attack, scoring seven of his team's points. The Central-Chaminade varsity game, played at the Bethlehem Gym, netted Central its second victory of the current season. The score was 38-30. The Midtowners won their second league battle by subduing Roosevelt, 30-22. This victory placed Central in a tie for second position in the league standing. Wulfemeyer and Batteiger joined forces, scoring twenty-one points between them. Ninety-six In their third non-league encounter, which was played at C. B.C., the Red and Black squad was nosed out by C. B.C. in the closing minutes of play, when Moore of C. B. C. sank a basket which broke a 14-14 tie. The final score was 16-14. Central's third league game was with Cleveland. This contest was taken by Cleveland, 36-28. Central put up a stirring battle until the middle of the third period, when its defense cracked. The 'tbottling up of Wulfemeyer by the Cleveland guards at this time spelled defeat for the Red and Black. The Soldan-Central combat ended, 31-22, with Soldan the victor. Wulfemeyer and Batteiger registered sixteen of Central's twenty-two points. Soldan's victory tied them with Beaumont for first place in the league standing. This was the Midtownersi fourth league contest. The Central Tigers of Cape Girardeau and our own Central Redwings clashed at the Cape in a non-league conflict. In spite of a remarkable defensive and offensive show, the Midtowners' suc- cumbed to the Cape Tigers, 39-24. Wulfemeyer accounted for twelve of the Red and Black markers. The Central's fifth non-league game was dropped to St. Louis U. High at the latter's gym by the score of 29-22. The Red and Black basketeers fell on the short end of the final score, 23-16, when they played Cape Girardeau Central at the Bethlehem Gym, in a return battle. Central's seventh non-league encounter of the season, played at McBride High, was taken by the McBride cagers. The final score was 28-14. After losing its last two league games, Central staged a thrilling comeback to defeat Blewett, 36-22. The scoring was led by Ken Wulfemeyer, who again carried the Red and Black to victory. by personally donating twenty-three of his team's points. Central was outclassed in a conflict with South Side Catholic, being defeated by the score of 30-17. Wulfemeyer totaled thirteen tallies in this game, played at Bethlehem Gym. The Midtowners' greatest victory of the season was gained over Beaumont, a strong contender for the title. The score was 28-26. This sensational victorv was marked by the thrilling coopera- tion of Central's cagemen. At one time during the battle, Central trailed by twelve points. but. with her men working in unison, accomplished a quick recovery. Central ended the season bv trouncing Southwest, 30-10. This massacre was led by Ken Wulfemeyer, who netted half of his team's tallies. By this spree of point-getting, Wulfemeyer re- tained his high scoring record which he set for himself last year. Central ended in a tie for fourth place in the High School League standing, by winning four out of seven league contests. Out of sixteen games played during the season Central won six and lost ten. This good showing was made possible, mainly, through the efforts of Ken Red,' Wulfemeyer. During the three years that he has participated in high school basketball, he has gained a berth three times on the All-High Team, he has twice been selected for the All-District Team, and for the past two years he has held the record for high scoring in the Public High League. A new feature of the 1939-'40 season was the playing of basketball between the alumni of Cen- tral and the alumni of other high schools, namely, Chaminade and McBride. In addition there was one game in which the alumni of Central participated among themselves. SUMMARY OF BASKETBALL 1939-'40 Dec. Central Beaumont Jan. Central Cape Central 39 Dec.

Ninety-.seven FOOTBALL-1939 ENTRAL High School started its 1939 grid season under the newly-installed lighting system ' at the Public High Stadium, with South Side Catholic. This encounter was the first game ever played under lights at the Public High Stadium. The Red and Black charges of '39 were under the guidance of Coach Earl Jansen, who also had guided them in '38. This team showed improvement over the one of '38, Although the team lost seven of its nine games, it played very fine football. Many of these games were lost by only one point or one touch-down. If Central would have played the ball they played when they played Cleveland High, they would have put fear in every team in the league. Central started off her season by defeating South Side Catholic in a very close contest. This game brought out many fine points in the Central team. The next week, however, was one of the Red and Blackls off days for Alton clipped them, 26-0, at Altonls field. This game was played on a strange, wet field, which fact might account for this defeat. The following week the grid boys from Central were back in true form. They held a very good Roosevelt team to seven points, while they scored six points themselves. Then after a week's rest the Midtowners lost to a very strong, smooth-working Soldan team, 33-O. The boys from Central gave everything they had but just could not get anywhere. Beaumont came next on Centralis list. After handing Central a 21-O beating, Beaumont knew they hadn't been on a picnic. The boys of Central made them fight for every inch they got and gave them nothing. The next game brought Central and Cleveland together. This Cleveland team received a great surprise as Central held them to a 6-O victory. Then came Southwest which Central downed, 6-O. This game was Central's all the way from the opening gun to the finish. Their superior blocking and tackling had Southwest fighting with its back to the wall all through the game. Then, both McBride and McKinley defeated Central in hard fought contestsg and Central's 1939 grid season became history. Central's contribution to the All-Star and All-District teams was Captain Marshall Shurnas.

This A season which started with a bang proved very satisfactory for the Red and Black fleet-footed boys. The seniors from Central took first place in that division in the meet between all St. Louis high schools. Central's lightning-lads downed Soldan's dust-eaters, 121.7 to 118.3. The seniors from Central gathered 52 points while Soldans got together 43. Soldan took the junior division, 61.3 to 24.7. The small boys from Central, however, downed Soldan midgets, 45 to 14. Leo Klos and Altman were stars from Central. Southwest downed the boys in Red and Black, 135 to 126. However, Central seniors did their part, winning 69.5 to 37.5. Klos, Stauder and Brown were outstanding for Central. Rooseveltis seniors took a beating from the boys of Central, 45 to 59. Even after this, Roosevelt took the meet 130 to 111. Klos, Brown, Stauder, and Branahl took first in the senior division. The seniors again took Maplewood, but the Juniors couldn't hold the lead, so Central lost the meet. As usual Klos, Brown, and Stauder led the seniors in their onslaught on Maplewood. These were helped along by the fine performance of every man on the team. Cleveland was Centra1's next victim which the Red and Black runners put down, 133.75 to 124.25. The senior division took Cleveland, 64 to 40. The midgets, led by Altman, won, 46 to 13, but the juniors failed to uphold their end of the load, losing, 23.75 to 71.25. Klos again starred for Central, helped along by Brown, Stauder, Branahl, and Shurnas. Then came disaster with Beaumont which trampled Central, 170.17 to 86.83. The boys from Beaumont handed the great Central senior division its only defeat of the year. They also beat our junior and midget lads. The boys from Beaumont, however, could not stop Leo Klos of Central as he took, as usual, every race he ran. Captain Leo Klos was the outstanding performer of the Red and Black by winning every race he ran and breaking the one hundred twenty yard high hurdle record. The old record of the inter- scholastics was 15.6 seconds held by Cash of Central, '34, Klos beat this record by three-tenths of a second. His best time was 15.2 seconds at a Southwest duel meet. In the senior department, he was supported by Stauder, Brown, Shurnas, Branahl, Hyland, Martin, and Scharity. In the junior division Central entrusted its honors to Driller, Golabiewski, Crow, Gruchalla, Hennefeld, Carpenter, and Mehrhoff. The midgets from Central were Altman, Strinni, jackson, Neckermfan and Fields. These boys carried Central's colors in an honorable, sportsman-like manner. It will be many a day before any team will surpass Coach Jansen's cinder-men of 1939.

SWIMMING 1940 N a bright cheery day in mid-December, twenty some odd hopefuls answered Mr. Jones' call for swimmers. After several days of observance and trial, twelve were selected as first string. Hope ran high among the tankers for the coming season. Ed Espenschied, that great back- stroker, was there to pace them toward the championship. Stokes, their captain, was due to arrive as a top flight performer. There were other veterans returning and many promising newcomers. But then, despite Espenschied's brilliant stroking and the valiant efforts of others, the squad could not seem to gather momentum. The boys swam against Roosevelt twice, once at the North Side Y and again at Roosevelt's pool. They lost both of these meets, despite the great swimming of Ed Espenschied. McKinley also downed Centralls mermen twice, and in both of these meets Central fought hard. Alton invaded the North Side Y by defeating everyone at Central but Espenschied. In the interscholastics Ed Espenschied won the back stroke, and Central's relay team, com- posed of Toal, Stokes and Espenschied, took fourth place.

TENNIS-'I 939 T seems that for the past few years Dame ,Fortune has turned a frowning face upon Central High's tennis teams. In 1937 Coach Gundlach thought he had discovered two potential stars in Lynn Schnake and Norbert Grosheim, but, when the call came for the team in 1938, they were found to be among the missing, having transferred to another school. When the call came for the 1939 team, Coach Gundlach found his one returning veteran from 1938, Claude DuVall, would not be able to play because of an injured leg. However, each succeeding team has carried on with the same fighting spirit that has made Central famous throughout the land. The team of 1939 was no exception to this rule. Captained by Kenneth Hundelt. they put up a battle that Central can ever be proud of. With Hundelt at first singles and E'mer Belsha and Kenneth Kerls as second and third singles, respectively, and with Bob Carpenter and Harold Hundelt at doubles, they were a team that was ever dangerous to leading contenders.

Hundrfd and Two GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION HE letters G.A.A. stand for the Girls, Athletic Association. It is the largest organization in the school, and, we think, the most interesting one. Every girl should join, as it offers many advantages. It builds character and produces good sportsmanship. It is open to all girls, from the first to the eighth term. All forms of sports, suitable for every season, are offered. The various sports and games which the girls can play are hockey, soccer, volley ball, baseball, badminton, tennis, shufiieboard, ping pong, hand tennis, and paddle tennis. The versatile dancers of the G.A.A. participate in practically all of the school entertainments. This terms, a clever sketch entitled The Shower Came,l' depicting 1,069 girls waiting to use one shower, brought the desired results. The members of the G.A.A. receive awards in many forms. Chevrons are given for 600 points, school letters for 1200 points, and G.A.A. honor pins for 1800 points. If a senior girl has an average of eighty per cent or more for one year, and has a good record in the G.A.A., she may apply for a state letter, the Missouri M. A representative from each gym class meets every Monday afternoon to discuss and plan the activities of the G.A.A. On Mondays and Tuesdays, girls of the upper terms take part in games and tournaments under the direction of Miss Amend, and on Thursdays and Fridays, girls of the first four terms meet under the leadership of Miss Schonhorst.

Red-coat: I hatetto tell you you're wrong, ma'm, but if you go to your left you'll be right, if you go to your right you'll be left.

Do you know what these girls did to earn these awards? I Well, they are the girls who play baseball on the hot days after school and -soccer on the colder days. When the weather will not permit outside work, they engage in pingrpong, volleyball, and shuffleboard contests indoors. To earn a chevron, the winner must earn 600 points, to receive a letter one must earn'120O points. Eighty-five 2's, 3ls and 4's are members of the Girls' Athletic Association this term. They meet once a week and pay dues amounting to twenty-five cents a term. With this money, they replace old equipment, and give a party each year. This year, they gave an entertainment in the Auditorium for the Patrons' Association, and lovely new showers now adorn our basementf Last term, the teams adopted such names as Whiz Girls and Hamburgers. The Newsi' sug- gested that Powder Puff Posies would be a good name. At this suggestion, the girls were at first highly indignant, but later they acted on the tip and adopted such names as Lipstick Kids, Powder Puff Pelters, and Central CO-eds. The tournaments are in full swing and all the contestants hope to receive a chevron or a Central letter. The G.A.A. has helped to develop its members both physically and mentally, and has offered them many fine opportunities for a recreational and educational pastime. OFFICERS Chairman .,.t., . .. .ttt Marion Nolde Assistant Chairman ,tt..... ..,,..... M arie Meier The G.A.A. for term one girls, sponsored by Miss Schonhorst, is composed of about fifty girls who meet every Friday after school to participate in various athletic games. Some of the major sports are volley ball, shuffle board, ping pong, soft ball, soccer, and badminton. For each game played a certain number of points is awarded toqeach girl. Twelve hundred points are required to receive the coveted school letter award. The term one girls choose their captains, who, in turn, choose their teams. - Each team gives itself an appropriate name. Some of the clubs were Blue Jays, some Ink Spots, and others were called Blue Bells, Our Gang, and Central Winners. The winning team receives a certain number of extra points.

HISTORY TESTS I think that I shall never see l A test as hard as history. A test that makes you writhe and squirm And wonder if you'll pass this term. A test that makes your face turn white When you're not sure of what to write. A test that makes you tear your hair And wish you were not sitting there, For though you've studied every night, Still your answers are not right. Tests are Hunked by fools like me But mostly when theylre history. -ROBERT L. HINES, '4O. Special Order Work SCHOOL RINGS - CHestnut 0090 PINS - MEDALS MONTI IEWELRY COMPANY 531 Arcade Bldg.

At the same time fre- quent calls were made for the Northern Army, preparing for the Musica Americana, to prac- tice after school.

Dora: Oh, that's the Northern Army!
