INTRODUCING THE WINNERS OE THE REDWINGS CONTEST This contest was planned to prove the truth of Mr. Davis's contention about Central boys and girls, as stated below. The ten winners were chosen by vote 9 S of their schoolmates, in an advisory group session, each student casting two b ballots, one for a boy and one for a girl--his choice of the best two in the entire school. WHY CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE CALLED REDWINGS All newspapers are not red, either. Most of them are black and White. But some of -them are read, too. Two and two are four. Fore is a golf term. A term is a long time in prison. Sing Sing is one prison. Sing Sing birds are no angels. Central High School students are not angels, either, although some of them may have dirty faces. Some of them may even make faces at the teachers. If the teachers see this, they give the students black looks. This makes the students' faces red. Red and Black have been Central's colors since 1896. The Redwing Blackbird is really a very beau- tiful bird. The males of this species fly high, wide, and handsome. The females have beauty, charm, and grace. Central boys fly high, wide, and handsome. Central girls have beauty, charm, and grace. Both have zip, zim, zoom, zeal, and zest. That proves from A to Z why Central students are called Redwings. --Vest Davis. Reprint fr om The News. N S' Ninetea
