' May we never prove ourselves unworthy of the time expended in our behalf. As we climb the gangplank to the Great Ship, as we wander about the decks of Life, we shall pay homage to you who so willingly have aided us. ,, .',,,w::-. :fur'-,Qff-y -M:-, r- i. 5,3,...y., fd? -V..

We now have a beautiful new Central, a beautiful i ship, a vessel of which each member of f r i the crew should be proud. The class of 1933 considers it a great and en- viable honor to be the first class to graduate from our new school. The spirit of the school has fol- lowed the students to its new home. Here it seems to have grown in security and strength. As we go forth into the world, may we always hold dear this spirit of ideals, that we may ever hold our heads high and say, I was a student at Central. A: ,. , 4?

Immediately a picture is formed in our minds. In it there is a powerful steamer, sailors running to and fro on the decks, and the officers of the ship in their immaculate uni- forms. Gver all there is that underlying feeling of fellowship and co-operation. Excited passengers shout happy farewells as the gangplank is withdrawn and the great ship slides away into the sea on its voyage. In this case the picture is complete. The sailors, officers, passengers, all are present. The voyage is a long one, but a happy one. The Sea of Ignorance has no calm waters, yet through it all the sailors emerge full fledged seamen, wiser by far than when they left port. Each member of the crew feels a sadness at leaving the craft that has played such an important part in three years of his life. Because this picture is so symbolic of Central High School, we have chosen Ships and Sailors as the theme for our 1933 Wakitan. THE EDITOR. .QQH W.

MIL DAVID i'I'Ii'1'l WAKITAN CALLA EDINGTON VARNER Principal if Central High Srbool Central High School Administrators Central is the second oldest high school in the state of Missouri. In 1861, the boys and girls of St. Joseph first received the opportunities and privileges afforded by a high school. Mr. E. B. Neely was the first principal of Central High School. His successors are: John Crosby, William Rusk, C. E. Miller, J. W. Thalman, 0. S. Wood, C. R. Deatherage, and Miss Calla E. Varner. As Central has grown larger and expanded, it has been necessary to move to more spacious quarters in order to accommodate those who seek to be benefited by a high school education. It is but a few short months since the last change of quarters has occurred, that of moving from the building which has served as Central High School since 1895, to the new ultra-modern edifice at which place the sons and daughters of Oske-Wow-Wow now reside. Central began as a school at which but a few students were enrolled. At present, however, nearly 1200 students are seeking knowledge at Central. Central has always been a high school of the first class and is on the list of accredited high schools of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. For eight years, a cultured, congenial, and efficient lady, Miss Calla Edingtou Page Ten --.K .... - , ..,. , .1 .... Y -.,YY.A,FSi,1.-I 32.1,,.,,,.,..,,,.,.,.,.,,,.,.,.,.,,.,---M MR. A. M. RENNISON MISS LOUISE E. BARTHOLD Vice-Principal Dean of Girls Central High School Administrators Varner has held the position of principal at Central. Prior to the time she became principal she served as vice-principal, consequently, no one is more thoroughly ac- quainted with or better fitted for the position which she now holds. Her undeniable and her ability have commanded the highest degree of respect has gone. During the time in which she has served as principal, her thorough understanding of the students and her skill as an advance of Central until, at present, Centra1's system of organiza- and followed. charm, her initiative, for her wherever she Miss Varner, through organizer, has led the tion is widely known The office of vice-president is now held by Mr. A. M. Rennison. Mr. Rennison came to Central in the fall of 1931. Since his coming he has carved for himself a place in our minds held by few others. It is Mr. Rennison's task to supervise finance of the school and to serve as boys' adviser. Arranging programs constitutes another duty of the vice-principal. In this capacity he has become known to almost everyone. His con- geniality has aided him. Miss Louise E. Barthold is the Dean of girls. She has held this position for the past seven years. Miss Barthold has charge of the checking of attendance. The Student Council and its ever growing list of achievements has been sponsored by this gracious lady whom we all have come to admire. Page Eleven .Hg gp- Farewell to Seniors You, who are the first class to go forth from Central's new building, confront unusual conditions. In the years to follow, though they be troublous years, Central will continue to ask that you be strong, that you quit yourselves like men and women-and yet in a few days she is to send you into a world of practically closed industries, a world where seemingly little work awaits you. However, work among the most important ever known is be- fore you, as it is before all America-the solution of our social and economic problems. You can aid in this work by the development of all your powers, and this is the task I commend to you. In school, if possible, certainly in your homes, in your church, in your business, see to it that you study, that you think, that you ever add to your knowledge. De- mand the best of yourselves and whatever our social conditions are, it may be given to you to channelize and direct forces of vital import to our nation. As you travel down the pathway of life, may you lose none of the gay elan which characterizes you now, may you keep your zest for living-your belief in the richness of life. To the Class of 1933, a loving au revoir, and an assurance of continued solicitude for your welfare. CALLA E. VARNER. -443 .ni gpg. FACULTY A-'Elf ENGLISH DEPAR'l'MEN'I' Miss Lois Welty, B. A.. M.

Central must comply with certain requirements previous to the time when they graduate. Three units of English must be completed before graduation. So- cial Science is a course from which two units are required, one of these must be from United States History. One unit must be obtained from R. O. T. C., 1 gym or physical education, from a natural science, and from ART ROOM mathematics if the students did not obtain one of such units at a Junior High School. Each student, in addition to these stipulations, must present six elective units. A total of thirteen Senior High School units are required for grad- uation. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Sailors, while taking the necessary courses to fulfill the English requirements of the S. S. Central, encounter various types of work in this department. The first two semesters of English must be completed at a junior high school, as Central does not carry Freshmen subjects. English 10B and 10A, the Sophomore English courses, take up the study of correct grammar. Interspersed with such instruction is the study of such works as Silas Marner, Ivanhoe, Idylls of the King, and a general study of the history of the short story and of the essay. English V composes the first semester of work in the Junior year. In English 11B, the great Shakespearean works, Hamlet and Macbeth, are studied. A study of modern verse, in addition to the novels, The Rise of Silas Lapham and A Tale of Two Cities, completes the course. The student of English 11A is taken into the extremely interesting field of American literature. Senior sailors have their choice of one of three types of English for their fourth unit. For the sailor who wishes to continue his study of literature, a course of study is prescribed in which the outstanding authors of the past twelve centuries are studied, It is one of such classes which edits Central's literary magazine, Tower Gleamsf' Sailors who desire to become more proficient in the art of . W... , public speaking and in acting, are urged to take Speech. Journalism provides an outlet for a student's literary ability. Students of journalism gain not only greater facility in their writing, but they are the bene- ficiaries of a more complete knowledge of newspaper work. It is the class of advanced jour- nalism students which publishes Central's weekly paper, The Central Outlook. JOURNALISIVI OFFICE P xge Sixteen WAKITAN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Sailors aboard the S. S. Cen- tral are not required to meet any language requirement. However, it is almost imperative that a sailor intending to attend a uni- versity should graduate with at least two units of a foreign lan- guage. Three languages are of- fered a sailor at Uentral. Latin, the most popular of the three, gives the student a foundation for almost every language. Latin gives the student a more thor- ough understanding of the Eng- lish language through its many English derivatives. Another ro- mance language which is popular at Central is Spanish. Spanish students are taught the everyday business grammar of Castilian Spanish. The course's practicability now is enhanced by the fact that the students are taught to converse in Spanish. The ability to read and to converse is the aim of all French students. One objective of French stu- dents is to be capable of passing college entrance examinations. Understandings of French people, customs, and history, are sought by French classes. Latin is a four-year course on the S. S. ventral. French and Spanish are taught only two years, as there is not sufficient demand for advanced courses in these subjects. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT A unit of Freshman algebra is the only mathematical requirement made upon Cen- tral sailors. The Central mathematics department includes courses in the following: Plane geometry, two semestersg solid geometry, one semester, advanced algebra, two semesters: trigonometry, one semester. Accuracy, while it is the primary aim of mathematics, is not the sole aim. The development of the student's reasoning power is sought. Geometry is applicable to various trades and professions in the business world. It is absolutely imperative that anyone who is desirous of becoming an engineer have a thorough foundation and general knowledge of mathematics. The solving of theorems is the basis of achievement in geometry, while the working of problems and the application of various principles constitute a standard for students of algebra. SOCIAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Three units of social science are required for graduation. This includes civics and vocations, which are taught at the junior high schools, world history, a two-semester course: United States history, another two- semester courseg economics and American government, two one- semester courses, which combine to make a unit. World history is a course which treats of the growth of civilization. Those who wish to trace the ascent and de- cline of great men, powerful na- tions, and mighty empires, will LIBRARY CA FlfI'1'lfIltlA Page Se Yellteell WAKITAN find a course in. world history ex- tremely interesting. The ancient Egyptians, Babylonians and Per- sians come in for their full share in the discussion. The em- pires of early Greece and Rome are reviewed. The Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and, of course, the discovery of America, pro- vide a bridge for the linking of medieval and modern times. The World War and subsequent hap- penings conclude this study of the history of the world as a whole. A student, while taking world history, does not study any par- ticular country more than any other. However, after a student has completed the study of world history, he may, if he so desires, continue in the field of social science and pursue the study of United States history. United States history, as its name denotes, deals with the study of the history of our nation. How the United States became a world power, how the frontier disappeared, the how and why of the World War, and the rise of modern economic and social conditions are but a few of the topics discussed in a United States history course. Economics is the science of business. There never was a time when people had more need of a knowledge of economics than the present. The present depression has made plainer than ever the fact that the problem of national prosperity is an economic situation fundamentally rather than a political one. Students of economics are taught about such things as production and consumption. The factors which regulate produc- tion and consumption are a source of great interest and comment. Proposed social and economic reforms, in addition to problems arising in connection with international trade relations, are topics which provide much food for thought. Students who take American government, delve into a field of social science which is quite unlike any other which they have studied. American government, unlike other courses, does not employ the entire semester for the thorough examina- tion of the specific topic at hand. Instead, the student who takes American govern- ment may be required, any time, to draw upon the knowledge which he has acquired during the time he has spent in other parts of the field of social science. In order to make the student more familiar with the method in which our government func- tions, the various classes of American government combine and form what is virtually a min- iature government. One class is the Senate, another, the House of Representatives, still an- other, the President and his cabinet. All three bodies func- tion in the manner prescribed by the Constitution. Legislation is introduced, debated, and voted upon, just as if each student were really a senator, congress- DOMESTIC SCIENCE ROOM CHEMISTRY LABORATORY 1 ige Flghteen WAKITAN man, president, or cabinet mem- ber. ln this way, American government is probably made more realistic than any other course. The field of social science, as a whole, is very popular among the students. Courses in social science are in more demand than those of any other depart- on the S. S. Central, with the ex- ception of the English depart- ment. In fact, more than four- fifths of the entire student body is enrolled in a course of social science. BIOLOGY LABORATORY NATURAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT The S. S. Central requires that all graduating seniors have one unit of science to their credit. The science department of the S. S. Central offers the following courses: elementary biology, advanced biology, physics, and chemistry. Every course offered by the science department is one of the two-semester variety. Biology is the most popular of the group of courses in natural science. Biology concerns the elementary investigation of physiology, botany, and zoology. An advanced course in biology is offered after completing the preliminary and more general course, for those who are still interested in continuing their scientific research and intent upon furthering their knowledge. Advanced biology is purely a further development of the subject. Students of biology delve into many of the mysteries of the human body, and of insects, and animal life. Physics is a subject which deals with explanation and demonstration of certain of the phenomena of the mechanical, physical, and electrical world. The behavior of inanimate things is investigated during the study of physics. Physics class periods are used mainly for explanation and demonstration. Little formal recitation is carried on in such classes. Chemistry deals with a study of the chemical composition of inanimate and ani- mate life. The lives of noted scientists are taken up in all courses in science. Natural Science is interesting to most students because it explains many incidents and facts which have puzzled and perplexed those who are ignorant of scientific explanations of these enignias. V COMMERCIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT The S. S. Central has a very complete commercial depart- ment. Its curriculum includes typewriting, stenography, book- keeping, commercial law, indus- trial geography, penmanship, and spelling. Accuracy first, speed next is the slogan of the type- writing classes. Stenography teaches students to take dicta- tion and to transcribe all of such dictation. Bookkeeping instills - into the student the rudiments mif:olmNlc.u. DRAVVING Room Of home OF Office HC001U1iif1S- Page IN lneteen WAKITAN f l Commercial law is a study of the legality of notes, papers, and contracts. Industrial geography places emphasis upon the rela- tionship of geographical fea- tures to economic situations. Penmanship and spelling deals with the attempt to achieve per- fection along these two lines. MUSIC DEPARTMENT Music at Central is designed to train the ear and mind in order that better appreciation will result. Central's Music De- partment consists of the orches- tra, the Girls' Glee Club, and the chorus classes supervised by Miss Beulah Bennettg the Boys' Glee Club and the band, directed by Mr. Raymond Elliott. Every division of Central's Music Department has appeared before the Central audiences on numerous occasions. TYPEYVRITI NG ROOM LIBERAL ARTS AND VOCATION DEPARTMENT Central's Liberal Arts and Vocational Department includes the various divisions of the art department, printing, homemaking, sewing, cooking, woodworking, mechanical drawing, and the library. The art department covers various fields, including color and design, drawing and perspective, commercial art, and stagecraft. Outdoor sketch- ing tours are conducted in the perspective classes. The chief topic in the color and design classes is that of interior decorating. Stage decoration is emphasized in the commercial art and stagecraft courses. Courses such as sewing and woodwork give students information in the field which the name of the course denotes. PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT lt is only natural that the S. S. Central strives to better the health of her sailors. To do so, the boys are provided with a choice of Reserve Officers Training Corps or physical education classesg the girls are given a course in physical education. Physical education classes for boys have been made possible by the new gymnasium, R. O. T. C. students study military science and tactics, the girls, in addi- . . . l I A f - , ,.., ,. 5 tion to athletics, study various V 5 ,H l types of dancing. THE OFFICE The office is a busy part of the S. S. Central. Absentee per- mits, tardy permits, leave per- mits, grade records, and daily ' notices comprise but a few of the office activities.

Central, left the harbor on September 12, with a crowd of eager students ready to do all in their power to achieve fame for this wonderful ship. The Junior class sailors looked forward with enthusiasm toward their third year of working on the Central ship. They were proud of the work that they had accomplished in the previous years. They began to gain success from the beginning by working diligently. Donald Johnson, whom the Juniors had elected from their group to lead them through their journey, started the sailors toward their goal. With the help of their other able officers, who were: Edwin Ueberrhein, Vice-President: Emily Brock, Secretary: Lawrence Kirk, Treasurer: and Miss Lucille Marechal, their capable sponsor, they were ready to pro- ceed on their way. A few Junior sailors made honors by being admitted into the Honorary French Club. Before one is taken into this organization, he must make an average of S or above in French. Before one becomes an active member, he is initiated, after which he is con- sidered a regular member. One Junior sailor, Gertrude Campbell, was elected Vice- President of the organization. The other Junior members are: Louise Crume, Isadore Farber, Jane Fiquet, Harriet Hutchinson, Mary Meier, Ada Kathryn Reed, Florence Wall, and Ruth Warrick. Another organization which is well known on board the ship is the Forum. Few Juniors belong to this society, as it is largely composed of Seniors. The Juniors who became members are: Emerson Carpenter, Lucille Crandall, Alvin Liber- l':n1.:e l iftyfonf- U, Y V , , v ,,-----------I'.A-!9..l..T A N Page Fi HOME ROOM 42-MR. L. M.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY man, Sidney Naidorf, Nadene Naken, William Vaughan, Lewis Ward and Ruth Warrick. This organization holds many meetings. Book reviews are given and foreign affairs discussed. One must have had history before becoming a member of the Forum. Although they worked hard in the Football Queen ticket selling contest, no Junior miss sold sufficient tickets to enable her to become the queen or one of the queen's attendants. However, it must be admitted that the contest this year was the closest in the history of Central and several Juniors barely fell short of the desired goal. One Junior, Miss Ernestine Gard was selected as a page in the Coronation ceremony. It came to the Juniors' recollection, that they had entertained their parents with a. tea the year before, so they looked forward to giving another with the Senior class sailors. They appointed committees to help make it a social success. Ruth Ann Cron- kite, Beverly Culp, and Darlene Elder were chosen to distribute the invitations. Kathleen Henry and Mildred Watts had charge of the program. Wilbert Klamm, William Vaughan, and Helen Goerke were placed on the refreshment committee. The decorating committee was composed of: Margaret Noel Pinkston and Walker Johnston. Those who served the guests were: Margaret Adams, Miden Broaddus, Josephine Wyatt and Mary Alice Means. The tea, given on October 4, was a huge success, which seemed to give the Junior sailors confidence in themselves. They were on their way upward and the path seemed clear. fty-two WAKITAN HOME ROOM 47-MR. PRICE HOPKINS, SPONSOR Front Row: Betty Bnttreall, Mildred Buthman, Virginia.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Central high school always sets one day of the year on which to make merry. On this night a gay carnival air invades the domain of the school spirit and he comes forth in all his holiday splendor. The Junior class sailors vie with the other classes for the honors of the best shows, and a friendly rivalry exists between these groups. The date of November 4 was set aside for the Capers, which was an annual affair aboard the ship. The Junior sailors had begun practing for this and the night of the big event they came out on top, with much praise, Those taking part in the stunt, 0swald's Defeat, were: Barton Leslie, Maurice Daniels and Julius Alex. The committee, who chose the cast, was composed of William Vaughan, Rosalie Miller, Dixie Sapp, Isadore Farber, and Billy Campbell. On December 2, these Junior sailors were called upon to give their play, Bar- gains in Cathay, by Rachel Field. The cast consisted of: Shirley Ann Walker, Harriet Hutchinson, Florence Wall, Billy Campbell, William Vaughan, Max Curtis, and Edwin Ueberrhein. The play took place in a book shop where Shirley Ann Walker and Billy Campbell, who were in love with each other, worked. He had written a book of poems, but had given up the hope of ever becoming a well known poet. Shirley Ann sold his books to his own father, who owned the store, and thus Page Fifty three A l i r i l 1 i L. ---.......-.......--.......-......Y.A..5..F...T...5J5......------------------ HOME ROOM 46--MISS HENRlET'l'.X KlVlfl'l 1', SPONSOR Front Row: Mary IC.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY solved the way for all in a happy ending. The play was a sucess and was highly appreciated by all. The student manager was Gertrude Campbell, and A. L. Jones, Cecil Weinstock, Agnes Dailey and Wilbert Klamm made up the property committee. Thus another point was added to their record of achievement. The call was issued, by Coach Jack Matthews, for all boys to go out for Sports and many Juniors apeared. Those who were successful in Track last spring were: Leon Block.

Many of these sailors, not only proved their ability by being placed on the honor roll, but also by being on many programs and other activities. For instance, they are named in the Glee Clubs, Orchestra, Band, as chairmen of committees, as office, holders, and many other activities. Three Juniors were admitted, during the mid-year, to the National Honor Society, which was considered one of the most noted societies in Central. They were Alvin Liberman, Lawrence Kirk, and Herbert Nechemias. To be admitted to this society, one had to be in the upper fourth of his class, and to have many activities. These three sailors met this standard and thus gained membership into it.

The Juniors who were admitted later were: Billy Campbell, Gertrude Campbell, Agnes Dailey, Isadore Farber, Harold Hall, Harriet Hutchinson, Ada Kathryn Reed, June Ruoff, Willian Vaughan, Shirley Ann Walker, and Ruth Warrick. These eleven students were chosen from the selected list of eligible Juniors. The names of the students who meet these requirements, are brought before a committee chosen from the faculty, composed of: Miss Calla E. Varner, Miss Freda Neal, Miss Leolian Carter, Miss Sarah Spencer, and Mr. Jack Matthews. The National Honor Society held its initiation on March 31, 1933. The new members were given membership cards, which has not been done before this year. ' Many Juniors will undoubtedly receive insignia for passing the insignia examina- tions in various departments, such as languages, mathematcs, commercial law, domestic science, and many others. If they make a grade above ninety, they are awarded insignia, which are Central Honor C's. To receive a medal one has to make the highest grade and have the highest standard of his class. The insignia and medals are to be presented on Recognition Day. It was not all work and no play for the Junior sailors, for they were given many vacations. They were permitted to leave: Thanksgiving, November 10, till November 145 Christmas, for one week, January 21, till January 305 and Washington's Birthday.

When they returned they were anxious to begin where they had left off and to work witl1 a greater determination to reach their goal. livery year a tea dance is given in honor of the Seniors by the Juniors. Vouiniittees were appointed. and all the sailors helped to make it a success. Betty Sturhahn, Dorothy Orth, Mary Marguerite Farnham, Lloyd McPhail and Jane l+'iquet were placed on the invitation committee. Alvin Liberman, Wilbert lilamm, Rosalie Miller, and Nadene Naken were put in charge of the time and place. The decoration committee was composed of: Martin lilssman, Agnes Dailey, Mabel Tegeler, William Vaughan, Leon Block, and Woodrow Levin. Those on the refreshment committee were: Mary Meier, Nrnestine Wyatt, Ada Kathryn Reed, Roger Steffens, and Tom Ritchey. Those in charge of the entertainment were: Hrnestine Gard, Whitney Potter, John Roth, Warren Ruddy, and Josephine Wyatt. The time was drawing near for the sailors to leave the ship, S. S. central, for a three months' vacation. When they returned, they would be Senior class sailors, and also. it would be their last year aboard the ship. They admired the work that they had completed and hoped to continue their successfulness throughout the years to come. The ship reached the harbor, on June 2, 1933, and the gang plank was lowered. The sailors let't the ship with a feeling of satisfaction in what they had accomplished in their third year aboard the ship. All ashore!

Central anchored again at the port of Darkness many new students were enrolled as third class sailors. They were anxious in every way to succeed and keep the good ship from destruction and always rolling on the high seas. They came from various smaller ships. all worthy of praise. The Robidoux, the Bliss. and even S. S. Benton, S. S. Lafayette, and Christian Brothers' High School were represented. Although their work was slightly different, they managed to uphold with dignity the many traditions of their ship. As soon as these new sailors were ranked and put to work they decided to choose one of the commissioned officers to help guide them on their voyage. Miss Henrietta Kivett, one of the well known officers of the S. S. Central was unanimously elected. Miss Klvett graduated from the University of Nebraska and received from there her Bachelor of Arts Degree. This is her second year on the S. S. Central. In accepting the position, Miss Kivett expressed her gratitude and declared that, with the co-operation of the sailors, she would try to make it one of the most successful voyages of the S. S. Central. Of course, as soon as their sponsor was elected, the third class sailors wished to elect members of their own group to lead their class and co-operate with their sponsor. For these class offices there were originally twenty- seven sailors nominated. For pre ident, seven capable and willing sailors were named.

Finally all but Clark Gore, and Guthrie Wells were eliminated. Clark Gore was elected. Mr. Gore had been very active both, during his short time on board the S. S. Central, and during his stay on the S. S. Robidoux. He was a member of the Central Student Council and while on the Robidoux he was president of the Robidoux Council, treasurer of the Student Council, president of history class, member of the R Club, and had a part in the Night Club, a play on the Robidoux. Among those nominated for vice-president were: Juliette Potter, Marilyn Holt, Marshall Edson, Thelma Bruce, Hoyle Graham, and Glenna Smith. In the final vote Hoyle Graham was elected. Mr. Graham was president of his home room, and while on the Robidoux he was a member of the Student Council, president of his home room, and in the Robidoux Operetta, 'tShip Ahoy.

This showed that the new sailors were working diligently to carry on the high standards, hitherto set forth by the advanced classes. These outstanding students that achieved these almost perfect records were: Mary Kay Cooksey, Esther DeBord. Bessie Friedman, Lloyd McPhail, Mary Robbins, Constance Savage, Glenna Smith, and Benjamin Weil. Of course, there were others that followed in the footsteps of these leaders. ln all there were sixty- seven.

After these honors were achieved and recognized, the minds of all sailors were turned elsewhere for at this time came the annual Football Queen contest. This con- test and coronation was one of the most colorful celebrations of the year. Furthermore, it was unique in the fact that for the first time in the history of the S. S. Central, the Queen was from the Sophomore class. It was a great honor indeed for Her Majesty, Miss Juliette Potter. Miss Potter was very active while she was on the Robidoux. She was on the Robidoux Student Council, president of her home room, in the play, The Beau of the Bath, and on the Central Student Council. This, however, was not the only great achievement, for the Maid of Honor, Miss Sarah Bender, was also of that class. Miss Bender also was quite active, having been president of her home room, Student Council alternate, and on the Serving Committee of the Faculty Banquet. In all it was a very brilliant affair. Next after the coronation of the Football Queen came the annual Capers. Of course, this meant that each group of the sailors was to present with utmost skill a clever Caperxstunt. The Sophomores, not be outdone by any other class, decided upon Monkey Business. Miss Josephine Hennasy sponsored the show and the characters were por- trayed by: Graham Porter, George Richmond, Charles Pettigrew, David Allen, Royal ixty-four WAKITAN A .f .K I 5 . is L11 .N , 3 4 Q t -. - . - -. ff-QQ. lltllilli ROOM 12-MISS 1'Il.lZ,Xl!l'l'1'H YVlilGll'l'.

Others were chosen to act in various other stunts, some in the main show and still others in the sideshows. Although the experi- enee was new to the third class sailors, they carried on in a very successful manner and in the end realized that they had aeeomplished their task and attained the ability to produee original and clever stunts. As soon as the work on the Papers was finished the Sophomore class turned their attention to their elass play whieh was scheduled for November 18. Tryouts for the play had been held on October 28, in room 24. These tryouts were directed by Miss llenrietta liivett, the class sponsor, assisted by Miss Ruth Spangberg and Miss Vera Tilson. More than one hundred students tried out, over fifty of these being girls. The play, No Sabej' was presented in the auditorium as a regular I-'riday program. The plot was entirely dependent upon a murder. The play took place in the home of a wealthy army ot't'ieer. Major Fairbanks, who had just been murdered. George Stewart was in love with Lettie Fairbanks. the murdered man's daughter. However, beeause of Georgffs religion, Air. Fairbanks had forbidden his daughter to see George. With the aid of Wu, a ehinese servant, the lovers were able to meet secretly and had, in reality, be-en engaged t'or five years. The Inspector ot' Poliee tried to prove that the hero had committed the crime. A natural climax ensued when a startling eonfession cleared up the mystery, Two elues. a collar band and a broken knife that were used to murder Mr. Fairbanks, played important parts in the production.

George Stewart, the lover, was taken by Richard Smith. The Sergeant of Police was Guthrie Wells. Miss Henrietta Kivett directed the play with the assistance of Altha Polk, student director. The property committee con- sisted of: Fred Brand, chairman, Nelle Austin, Glenna Smith, and Robert Fox. Miss Kivett stated that the class had co-operated exceedingly well in order to make the play a success. This play, No Sabe, was written by Elisha Cook. Besides the play and Caper stunts the third class sailors seemed very interested in athletics. Their interest, however, proved fruitful for something very unusual oc- curred, In fact, it was very unusual for two third class sailors to be awarded letters in football. These remarkable athletes were Franklin Russell and Elmer Goss. Their work on the football field was very outstanding. Among the sailors that came out for football practice were: Franklin Russell, Elmer Goss, Orrin Painter, George Teller, Paul Rice, Leonard Bias, Royal Kalis, Leland Shilling, Charles Pettigrew, Clark Gore, Jesse Suttle, Graham Porter, Charles Wilcox, Vincent Abbott, Bill Bolin, Julius Hoch- man, and Norman Myers. Eight of these football players received reserve letters.

All of these sailors made great progress and looked eagerly forward for the time to come when they would be allowed to take the place of the more skilled players. Many of these football players were included on the list of those that went out for basketball. These sailors were eager to fight for their ship and win as many battles as they were allowed to play. Those interested in basketball were: Jake Tovsky, Edwin Schmidt, Edward Frasier, Dick Fenner, Bob Minor, John Goetze, Frank Goetz, Keith Miller, Valvin Adler, Dick Mci'lanahan, Eldon Pettigrew, Orrin Painter, Russell Durham, Don Fike, Royal Kalis, l'lark Gore, and Charles Wilcox. With the beginning of the new semester many changes took place. Of course the class B sailors in the third division were promoted to class A and new sailors were ad- mitted in their place. Over one hundred and fifty of these new sailors were started on their course to the Port of Light and Education. These new faces were soon recogniz- able as true Ventralites. Various home rooms were organized in order to form a closer contact between the sailors. The general program consisted of a home room period ou Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday: while on Friday, an assembly program was held in the auditorium.

Often these Sophomores were allowed to participate in the various programs. For the last several years the third class sailors had not been allowed to attend these programs, but due to the size of the auditorium on the new S. S. Central they were permitted to attend. The program that was followed by most of the home rooms was as follows: On Monday the period was used for study on various school subjects, Tuesday was used for either discussion of current topics and school regulations or a regular social hour in order that the sailors could become better ac- quainted: and Wednesday was decided upon by most home rooms as a day on which to give interesting and helpful programs. Thursday, of course, was the regular day when The Outlook or school publication was distributed. The period on this day was spent in simply reading the paper and gaining knowledge of school and interscholastic affairs. In all, the routine seemed very successful and many interesting quarter hours were enjoyed by the sailors. Officers were elected for the various home rooms. Room 104 elected as their pres- ident, Hoyle Graham, Vice-President, Marshall Geller, Secretary, Warren Bellg Treas- urer, Junior Best, and Reporter, Jean Dale Bird, each home room had a student council member and 104 had as their representative, Clark Gore. Miss Sarah Spencer was the home room sponsor. Although their routine was practically the same as the other rooms, they elected a hostess for each week that they were able to have a social hour. This hostess simply tried to create a familiar atmosphere among the sailors. l age Sixty-eight WAKITAN ' N -V, .

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY During the second semester a questionaire was distributed to thc different Sopho- more home rooms. The purpose of this questionaire was to find the interests of the sailors. They were asked to list the various activities in which they participated in Junior High School. This included the various schools of the city, S. S. Benton, S. S. Lafayette, Christian Brothers', the Bliss, and the Robidoux. The sailors were asked to list their hobbies, ambitions, and favorite subjects. Activities in which they wished to participate in Senior High School was also on the list. Very interesting replies were received on the questions asked. As to the activities in Junior High School, they varied from home room officers to officers of the class. Some had been quite active in glee club work and in the orchestra and school band. Still others had had parts in school operettas and class plays. Several had been in charge of assembly programs. Sports seemed to occupy the minds of many of the sailors. Among those mentioned wereg baseball, basketball, track. foot- ball, volleyball, and soccer. Hi Y and Girl Reserve were organizations that attracted many, Last, but not least, were the student council representatives. Some were just members, while others held offices. Hobbies which were mentioned were quite varied. Horseback riding seemed quite popular, although reading was mentioned frequently. Several sailors preferred fishing 1 ige Seventy-two WAKITAN v. l tl HOINIIC ROOM X-MISS 1il4lIi'1'HA RIGHTBIIRE, SPONSOR l-'rout Row: Louise Howe-ll.

Golf also seemed quite popular. Saving pennies was an item included on many lists. Indian head pennies seemed prev- alent. Several students stated that they had quite large stamp collections. Music, of course, appeared on many lists. An unusual hobby was roller skating. Driving a car seemed to appeal to many. In all, the hobbies were exceedingly interesting. For the question relating to ambition many answers were received. Those ranking the highest were nurses and stenographers. Many sailors desired to become engineers. This included almost every type. They were electrical engineers, mechanical, and every other type. Doctors and lawyers were also quite prominent. Several wished to become bankers and still others were more adventulous and wished to fly high as aviators. Although they were ambitious the sailors realized that to achieve these goals they must work and work diligently. Almost every third class sailor had a favorite subject. The English department al- though tollowed closely by the social science department managed to lead the rest. However, commercial subjects were popular. Those interested in Music very often chose an occupation dealing with the same subject. Their varied interests were proof that although they had had less experience they were eager to succeed. Activities in Senior High School in which the third class sailors wished to partic- ipate were very interesting.

Such staffs as the Outlook Staff and the Tower Gleam Staff were mentioned. Nearly all of those interested in foreign languages wished to be a member of the Honorary French Club. Those interested in art wished to become mem- bers of the Brush and Pencil Club. By the end of the year some had attained these honors. Although earlier in the year, sailors had received letters for proficient work in football, it was not until spring that basketball letters were awarded. Among the third class sailors there were reserve letters awarded. Four able and qualified sailors re- ceived these letters. They were: Donald Fike, Royal Kalis, Franklin Russell, and Orrin Painter. A manager was not elected. Thirty-two Sophomores signed up for track when the call was issued. Although they were rather inexperienced, their work proved fruitful.

When these exceptional things were accomplished and the sturdy old ship S. S. Central rounded the Cape of Fears, the third class sailors began to look forward to their next year on board. Such difficulties as exams were encountered when the good ship passed around the Rock of Gibralter and the Icy Cape. For many years this steamer had traveled the ocean, riding the swells beneath the sky, to the tune of the lapping waves, and tang of salt in the breezes. The Sophomores were loath to leave the decks on which these breezes caressed their faces. They had enjoyed straining over the rails to get a view of the wonderful sea. The ship seemed to them as one towering above the waves immense and strong and carrying a load of priceless traditions and untold sufferings, although guarded were the glorious memories. In all the Great Ship, S. S. Ventral, was to remain in the minds and hearts of the third class sailors until it would be time for them to return again in the fall. They all realized that within two years she would carry them safely, through high tides and storms, to the Port of Light and Education. Like the ship of the poet, the hearts and hopes and fears of the students were built on her. Workmen had purposely built the S. S. Uentral strong and sturdy. A poem that best fits these third class sailors is, The Building of the Ship, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

FOOTBALL HOME ROOM As a means of aiding in the coaching of the football squad, Mr. Jack Matthews, the football coach, organized a special home room, which met daily in the gymnasium, throughout the entire football season. This special home room was composed of all boys who reported for football. The main purpose in organizing this group was to give more time to the actual practice on the field. This end was reached by instructing the boys in the fundamentals of playing the grid game during the home room period and then making sure of what they had learned when actual practice came around after school hours. This proved to be a great help to all the boys. The boys also were shown diagrams on the blackboard which illustrated various plays and the way each position was played on the team. Many plays which were used in the games played during the season were also diagramed on the board and an expla- nation given. This method of illustrating plays aided a great deal in giving each player at clear conception of his position. Many other things were explained and illustrated such as: The correct method of centering the ball, the correct position that a center should take when in possession ot' the ball, and other things.

FOOTBALL HOME ROOM structed in passing, kicking, running, blocking, tackling, and the use of the stiff arm and pivoting. Various defensive formations of the backfield were illustrated and the ad- vantages and weaknesses of each formation were shown. Line men were instructed in blocking and tackling, and shown how to play each position on both the offense and defense. Blocking was stressed especially on offensive play, also fast charging in the line on both offense and defense. Numerous kinds of blocks were illustrated and the use of each was fully explained. On the defensive play the boys were shown what to do on various occasions, when to expect a pass or punt, and how to play on each occasion. The football home room proved to be very popular as shown by the fact that over seventy-five boys enrolled in the class. The Sophomores had the largest representation with twenty-seven members enrolled. The Juniors, however, followed closely with twenty-six students in the home room. The Seniors had the smallest representation, as there were only twenty-one. All in all the experiment proved far more fruitful than even the highest hopes had entertained.

Miss Nellie Rogers, a journalism student, contributed the name Outlook for the Ventral, paper, when the first paper was published on September 2, 15114. Miss Rogers received a lifetime subscription to the Outlook. l'entral Outlook received a majority vote of 273, however Central Tower, Central Spectator, and Central Luminary' were other names suggested. For tl1e past three years the Central Outlook has won the sweepstakes of all papers in the state ol' Missouri. Morton Leibowitz. Virginia Bone, and Arthur Goldberg were the Editors-in-l'hief of the Outlook for 1932- 214 respectively. In 1890, Ventral High School, then St. Joseph High School, published its first au- nual. It was called merely the Annual up to the year 1924, when Jack Scanlan sug- gested the title Wakitan, which, since that year because of its high standards, has been retained. Glennan Griswold was the Editor-in-Chief of the 1924 Wakitan. Velma Stetter was the Editor-in-l'l1ief ot' the 1933 Wakitan. The Wakitan of 1932 placed among the ten best in the United States, Feeling the need of a literary magazine through which Ventral students would be able to express themselves, a special English VII class organized the Tower Gleamsf' This gave any student, regardless of classification, an opportunity to demonstrate his literary ability. The best historical articles appeared in the first issue in December 19230, ot' which Jean Arnold was Editor-in-l'hief. Earl Wasserman was the lildtor-in-Chief of the 1933 Tower Gleamsf' which was considered one of the best that has been published.

Names of journalism students with high scholastic ability are submitted by the sponsor, Miss Kathryn J. Stiles, to a nominating board consisting of representatives from Senior home rooms. Miss Calla E. Varner, principal, serves as chairman to meet with these representatives and nominate students for the different offices. The Senior class votes by ballot upon the list. The successful candidates then become members of the board. Although many clever themes were proposed by Central students, no better theme than Ships and Sailors, for the Wakitan of 1933 could have been adapted to illustrate the activities of the Seniors, Underclassmen and the feature sections. This was the idea of Virginia Bone, Co-Art editor. The ship is symbolic of Central and the sailors are representative of the students. Wakitan week was held during January to promote enthusiasm among the sub- scribers. The predominating event was the play, S. S. Central, given in the school auditorium. This production enabled Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors, and the members of the Wakitan Board to participate. Speeches were given by various members of the board to each class individually, which aided in explaining to the students the value of a year book.

The Tower Gleams' staff has encouraged the creative talent of writing in every Uentral student. A great deal of material was submitted from which to select. Historical articles, essays, short stories, poems, plays, and editorials were published. The art work, supervised by Max Nauman, was most artistic, carrying out the theme, The Vikings.

Miss Louise Barthold Each semester's home rooms elect representatives to form the Student Council which is the representative body of the school. Here students' problems are brought up, dis- cussed, and voted upon as seen best for the betterment of conditions. The council sees that any rules and laws passed upon are carried out. Meetings are held the first of every week. The following days the members return to their respective home rooms, give the reports, and receive suggestions and problems to take back to the next meeting. Among the many things the first semester Student Council did for the students was to conduct the book exchange. Besides selling books for and to the students it also eliminates the taking of books, as a check can be made on a second-hand book through the exchange. Also it enforced the traffic lawsg managed a lost and found department: and promoted a color day. At the Christmas season the singing of Christmas carols was conducted. Three of the members were delegates to the Missouri Valley Federation of Student Councils at Des Moines, Iowa. The Council, in charge of Jerome Kintner, directed the moving to the new school in which many students volunteered their service and their cars.

One very successful piece of work was the war against gum chewing. In addition a library book day was held to encourage the return of all books belonging to the library and the giving of other books. The first week of the term a study of parliamentry law was held each day so that the members would be better prepared to perform their tasks. A committee was appointed to get the trophies polished. Moreover the Council worked for better sportsmanship at the games, A need was seen for an executive council to act as an advisory board. This is com- posed of the officers and one representative from each class: Elva Wing, Senior: Lawrence Kirk, Junior, Nelle Austin, Sophomore. The board meets and decides what will be discussed at each meeting of the Student Council. The constitution was found inadequate. having never been changed since the separation of the Freshman class, so this was changed. Furthermore, a need of a chaplain was seen. John Hastings was elected to fulfill this position temporarily, and the constitution was amended accordingly. Both semester councils. deeming it necessary to become better acquainted with each other, gave steak fries which served the purpose.

The society strives for the attainment of the following four goals: To create a desire for high scholarshipg to further the development of character, to encourage leadership, and to stimulate desires to render service. Only Juniors and Seniors may apply. All candidates for membership must be in the upper fourth of their class and must have spent at least one year at Ventral. Service, leadership, scholarship, and character are the requisites for membership. A facility committee which consists of Miss Calla E. Varner, principal, Miss Freda Neal, chairmang Miss Leolian Carter, Miss Sarah Spencer, and Mr. Jack Matthews, chose those who were qualified to enter. Fifty-eight students composed the membership of the National Honor Society, this year. More students were admitted in the year 1932-33 than any other time in the history of the chapter at t'entral. The officers for the first semester were: President, Elizabeth Dahlenburg, Vice- President, Mary Catherine Badger: Secretary-Treasurer, Ruth Ann Eliscu. New officers were elected for the second semester. Those elected are: President, Robert Sherman' Vice-President, Vlara Grovesg Secretary, Betty Meier, Treasurer, Virginia Judah.

TOWER CLUB 4 Reading From Left to Right: Arthur Goldberg, Elizabeth Dahlenburg, Morton Leibowitz. Central's oldest honor society passes from existence with the transferring of Cen- tral from the old to the new building. Because of the fact that the new building has no tower and because the National Honor Society has a chapter at Central, which super- sedes the Tower Club in that it is a national organization, it has been decided to dis- continue this organization. The Tower Club was founded in 1921. Since the time it was founded, it has repre- sented the highest honor that Central could bestow upon its students. The organization always has been purely honorary, consequently, no officers were elected. Any person with the rank of a Senior B must have presented at least 250 points of which 25 to 50 must have been obtained from extra curricular activities. The remain- ing points must have been derived from scholarship. It has been necessary for a Senior A to secure 325 points, including 35 to 70 activity credits. Students of classifications lower than Senior B have been eligible for membership only if they have been able to meet the requirements for a Senior B. Three outstanding Centralites have gained the distinction of becoming the last mem- bers of this society. Elizabeth Dahlenburg, Arthur Goldberg, and Morton Leibowitz constitute the last group to join the Tower Club. Page Eighty nine WAKITAN DEBATE TEAM 1 Page N Front Row: Virginia Judah. Second Row: Earl Wasserman, Arthur Goldberg, and Morton Leibowitz. The question used by the Central debate team for this year was: Resolved: That one-half of all state and local revenues should be derived from sources other than taxes on tangible property. As this question is quite intricate, both affirmative and negative teams had sufficient opportunity to develop their talents. Central opened her season in a no-decision tournament. Stewartsville and Union Star were met. Central then met Easton in two non-decision debates. Soon. after, Atchison was engaged. Central emerged with one win and one loss from this encounter. The team did not fare so well in its division of the state tournament. Fairfax was de- feated, but Central went down before Excelsior Springs and Smithville. The eighth annual tournament at Fulton, Missouri, was entered. In this tournament Central ad- vanced to the finals where she was defeated. En route to the finals she defeated Miami, Oklahoma, twice: Missouri Military Academy, Carrollton, Kirkwood, and Joplin. ln the finals Central lost to Lexington. At this tournament Morton Leibowitz was awarded a S100 scholarship for being the second best debater out of the thirty-one teams entered. It is possible that the team may enter the National tournament. Earl Wasser- man and Morton Leibowitz comprised the number one team and did all the debating at the important tournaments. Mr. George L. Blackwell was coach of the debate team this year. The team won eight and lost four of their meets. inety if H ,-,,,,,,,,A,uAc,A,M,Yf-AJS.LI.A.,E,.,,,.,,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.-------M,--M C CLUB , fr 5'-.fx . .- - . , M ' - - . -' . , .- ..1..1fe.wAf-- .

To become a member of the C Club one must have won two letters in football, track or basketball, or as a student manager. It is easily seen that one must be es- pecially active in athletics and have unsual ability along that line. All of these boys have proved themselves worthy to wear Central's badge of honor, the envied C, and Central is proud to boast of such a fine group of boys who have so ably upheld Chief 0skewowwow's lofty traditions. This club in former years was not very active, but this season the boys are taking hold of things and making an active society out of their group. Most people do not realize how much work it really takes to win a C. They do not know that days and even nights are spent in an effort to perfect themselves in whatever sport they enter. It is much harder to train than it is to play and most of the athletic undertakings take many hours of hard training. The officers of the club are: Fred Smith, Presidentg Mason Austin. Vice-President: Kennison Hettick, Treasurer, and Ervin Deem, Secretary. Mr. Jack Matthews is the cIub's sponsor.

Blackwell. The activities of the Forum include current events discussions, debates, book re- views, mock trials, and an annual banquet to climax the year's activity. This year, the Forum delved into a new field, that of tabulating election returns. The News-Press re- quested the Forum to assist in this task. A feature of this year's activity was the two joint meetings which were held with the International Relations Club of St. Joseph Junior College. Membership requirements have been made more strict this year. Only twenty-five members are allowed to be enrolled. An applicant for membership must fill out an application blank upon which two instructors and two members of the Forum have signified their belief that the applicant would make a desirable member. In addition to this, the applicant must write a short essay on 'tWhy I Want To Join The Forum. One blackball by a member of the Forum if substantiated by a satisfactory reason is sufficient to deny admittance. This year, the Forum will again enter the Scholastic Current Events Contest. Last year, the Forum made an exceptionally fine showing in this contest. The officers of the Forum for 1932-1933 have been: Earl Wasserman, President, I.ewis Ward, Vice-President, Lucille Crandall, Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. George L. Blackwell is sponsor.

Only. students of an average of E or S are admitted for membership. For the first time since its organzation in 1927, by Miss Sally Ann Martindale, it has been active, having monthly meetings at the home of members of the club. The first meeting of the club was held at the home of the president, Virginia Judah. In order that each member might have an opportunity to serve on a committee, each month preceding the meeting new committees were ap- pointed by the president to assist in formulating plans. All business is discussed in French, while the social hour is conveyed in English. In the first part of April the president called a meeting in order to name various committees to assist in the annual banquet held in May. It was a decided success, and the entertainment consisted of French and English versions of plays and speeches. The following were the important committees named by the president: Decoration, Kenneth Higgenbotham, Robert Bigham, Josephine Miles, and Ruth Ann Eliscug program, Katherine Morton, Rose Colloff, Ruth Warrick, and Jane Fiquetg food, Gertrude Camp- bell, Frances Will, Virginia Schwartz, and Marie Benjamin. The officers of the last semester who occupied their position capably were: Presi- dent, Virginia Judah, Vice-President, Gertrude Campbellg Secretary-Treasurer Katherine, Morton, Reporter, Rose Colloff.

In the spring of 1932, the Boys' Glee Club decided that in the following year, they would study the Negro Spiritual. So, in that summer, Mr. Raymond Elliott, the sponsor of the group arranged several numbers. They are: Gwine To Heabbenf' Standin' In The Need Of Prayer, Steal Away, I Ain't Gwine Study No Mo', I Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray, Listen To The Lambs, Gwine To Shout, and Debbil Foot John. After intensive study during the year, a program was given in the assembly, featur- ing these spirituals. The scene was that of a group of negroes who had stolen away from their masters to worship the Lord according to the dictation of their conscience. Mr. Raymond Elliott sang, The Glory Road, as a solo, and Mr. Kennison Hettick sang the solo part in Gwine to Hebbenf' Miss Eloise Turner sang Lonesome Road. ac- companied by the Glee Club. The Glee Club closed a very successful season by giving various programs at differ- ent churches and clubs in the city. For the first semester the officers were: President, Maurice Walker, Vice-Pres- ident, Melvin Schafferg Secretary-Treasurer, Clarence Brown, Reporter, Oscar O'Don- nell. For the second semester the officers were: President, Kennison Hettickg Vice- President, Clarence Browng Secretary-Treasurer, Raymond Zurovskyg Reporter, Irving Goldman.

Before admittance one must have her voice tested by the sponsor, and must be of Junior or Senior classi- fication. At the beginning of this new semester this organizaton was to occupy new quarters, which were entirely different from those they had used in former years. A choral room equipped with stage and piano, but which was unable to be of use, since no seats were available to be installed. However, this has not affected their quality of singing and studying the works of famed composers. These members have a most attractive uniform oi' white silk shirt and royal blue jacket. The Nativity, in which the Girls' Glee Club participated, was a most unusual Christmas tableau. Seated on the left in the balcony of the old Central High School auditorium, dressed in white with silver capes, they sang carols appropriate to the tableauxs that were being presented upon the stage continually. The Girls' Glee Club has sung at the Francis Street Methodist, Westminister Pres- byterian, First Christian Churches, and also at a tea given in the school cafeteria by the Parent-Teacher Unit. The officers were: President, Ada Kathryn Reed, Vice-President, Frances Will: Secretary-Treasurer, Dorothy Robnettg Librarians, Ernestine Wyatt, and Elva Wingg Reporter, Charlotte Hees. Miss Beulah Mae Bennett is director of this choral group.

Forty members constitute the membership of the Central High School orchestra for this year. During third period this group assembled in the band and orchestra room for practice, which is one of the newest built as a sound-proof room in the entire structure. The orchestra in a skilled manner practiced many selections. Some of their most outstanding pieces studied thoroughly during the year were: Palace of the Khedivef' On the Riviera, and Chinese Dance. An extensive study of Sousa's marches and Raymond overtures was also made. The most important programs in whichthe orchestra participated during the school terms were the Coronation of the football queen, and taking part in the National Honor Society initiation. A number of these musicians also played in the St. Joseph Symphony Orchestra. Central was very -fortunate in having such a variety of musical instruments, which included many that required a technique. The violin, cello, piano, clarinet, flute, oboe, trumpet, trombone, tuba or bass horn, baritone, melophone, saxaphone, and the drum were the different classes of melodious instruments. Besides developing their 'musical talent, these musicians are taught the art of con- ducting an orchestra. This year Fred Watts was the student conductor. Miss Beulah Mae Bennett is director of this division of education. Page Ninety-six -----.,,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,...,.,...,...,.X.i.l5..!.l.:'l.,H,,.....................................,.,...........

All students will retain a memory of the thrills and appeals to loyalty by which the band spirited us on in the football and basketball seasons. Not only have they played at athletic affairs, but also took part in all regimental parades here at the stadium after school. Some of the outstanding masterpieces studied by the group for the past school terms were: The Blue and Gold Overture, Merry Minstrelsj' Altamont, Field of Honor, and Crown City. Two of the dominating numbers of Central's songs played by the band were: On, Oh Central, and Oske Wow-Wow Central High. This body met first period in 112, band and orchestra room, which is practically :quipped besides the installation of the radio. Since many of this year's members had completed the course in military science, there will be few surviving members. Clement Darrow is the director of the band, but during the regimental parades Dick Glenn is bandmaster. Mr. Raymond Elliott is faculty conductor. There are many kinds of instruments that are played by the band, including trom- bones, trumpets, saxaphones, cornets, clarinets, meliphone, base horn, and the drums. l 'age Ninety-seven WAKITAN BRUSH A D PENCIL CLUB - 1 Front Row: Reilly Mvif-r, Mzirgot Ford, Gayle Ni!ll0CkS, Ye-Iinzn Stvttvr, Virginia Honv, xviilllll i'Ol'lm'I', Lnville Crandall.

A comedy entitled Lima Beans was rendered first. The play expressed Mr. Alfred Kreymborg's theory of pantomime acting or dancing of folk or automatons to an accompaniment of rhythmic lines in place of music. The cast for the play was as follows: The husbands, James Morgan and Henry Taylor: the wives, Dorothy Lewis and Virginia Judah, the hucksters, Marshall Geller and Nathan Rosenthal. The time of the play was any placeg the place, anywhere. Bertha Marie Kent was the student director. A tragedy, The High Heart, written by Adelaide C. Rowell, was presented as the second Senior play. The story is one of a northern girl who falls in love with a southern spy. Her love of the North triumphed over her love of the enemy spy. The cast included the following: Sam Davis, a Confederate scout, Keith Compton, the General, a com- manding Federal officer, Robert Sherman, Major Cranston, engineer of the General's staff, Earl Wasserman, Agnes Cranston, his daughter, Nadine Whitaker, Lieutenant Richards, the General's aide, Charles Fore, Mrs. Peyton, a southern lady, Maxine Hurst: Mandy, a colored servant, Gladys Peck. The time, during the Civil War period and the place, the South. The dramatic role in this production was taken by Earl Wasserman. Smith Penney was the student director of this tragedy. Miss Mary Lou Davies, dramatics instructor, directed both Senior plays. The Wakitan play, a production presented as a preliminary to the drive for Wakitan subscriptions, was given January 6. The play was written by a member of the Wakitan Board, Arthur Goldberg, assisted by Josephine Miles, Ruth Ann Eliscu, Orville Dawson, and Fred Ladd. The play was one of the' most novel ever presented to a Central audi- ence. The scene was laid on the deck of fi modern ocean liner. The embarkation of the vessel, the S. S. Central, was shown with the sailors loading the cargo. The sailors of the first, second, and third classes represented the Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores at Central. The loadwas finished and the gang plank drawn up, amid the tumult of fare- wells from the passengers on the ship, and from those on land. The last night aboard was celebrated by a program from the talented people aboard the S. S. Central. Mem- bers of the Wakitan Board, in addition to certain representatives from each class, took part in the play. Virginia Bone and Arthur Goldberg directed the play. The Confessional was presented by the Speech classes for the Thanksgiving pro- grarn. Percival Wilde wrote the play. The setting for this modern play was a modest cottage, the home of Robert Baldwin. The plot of the play centers around Mr. Baldwin's attempt to decide wheher or not to refuse the bribe of S'100,000 offered by Mr. Gresham, his employer. Mr. Gresham was accused of the crime of defrauding the depositors of his bank. Mr. Baldwin's wife and his two children were indignant upon learning that Mr. Gresham had offered a bribe, but when they learned of the huge sum proffered, they favored the acceptance of the bribe. The play concluded in a novel manner with everyone enjoying clean hands. Those who took part in this production were: Mr. Baldwin, Junior Klineg Mrs. Baldwin, Betty Meierg John Baldwin, Jerome Kintnerg Evie Baldwin, Geraldine Woodbury, Mr. Marshall, another bank president, Kenneth Higginbothamg the maid, Helen Summers. Dorothy Obermeier was the student managerg Miss Davies, the director. The Junior and Sophomore plays are described in their respective class sections.

' GEORGE KARNS Football Captain, 1932 George Karns, captain of Central's 1932 football squad, was elected unanimously at the opening of the 1932 season. George has been one of the mainstays of the team for three years and proved his ability and leadership in a superior manner this season as captain. He had a particularly hard time as the team this year was composed of inexperienced men, George being the only returning letterman. With an exceedingly difficult schedule to face with a team of green men, Captain Karns not only kept them always fighting, but never let up himself. With Captain George Karns the only letterman on what was probably the lightest grid team in her history, Central played the toughest schedule she had ever attempted, having nine games with some of the best teams in the Middle West.

The Iilue and White were defeated 14-6 after a hard fight. Beck, Smith, Johnson and Ritchey starred. ln the second game the Kansas Pity Central team won from the Indians I3-6. However, a strong rally in the last quarter almost defeated the Eagles. Don Johnson, Ward, Iloherg, and Karns starred. At Omaha Tech, they lost 39-0 to a team which outweighed them over fifteen pounds per man. The Techsters played unbeatable football as they ploughed through the indians. Sutton, Ritchey, and Karns played well for Central. Page One lflundrvd Fi WAKITAN a l Top Row: Lewis VVa1'd, VVoodrow Levin, Tom Ritchey. Second Row: Carl Boberg, Lee Lansaw, Franklin Russell. Playing their best game of the entire season the Indians dropped a 13-0 game to the Topeka Trojans. Boberg, Ritchey and Sutton were the outstanding Indian backs. Ward, Munkwitz, Frogge and Karns were the line stars. After completely outplaying Council Bluffs for three quarters, the Indians suffered a heart-breaking 14 to 0 defeat when Shaw broke away for two touchdowns. Goss, Indian fullback, was the star for the game. Boberg, Ritchey, Smith, Deem, Munkwitz, and Frogge played well. The game with Christian Brothers resulted in a scoreless tie. Central scored once, but one of the men was offside and the play was not counted. The whole Indian team played well.

Ventral threatened constantly in the second quarter, and made several determined drives. Boherg, Ward, I-'rogge and Smith played good games for the Blue and White. Several of the Ventral players were honored by being placed on various mythical honor elevens.

Karns was placed at tackle, Ward at a guard, and Ritchey at a halfback on the second team. The final game of the season, the Thanksgiving day tilt, found Central pitted against the heavy Omaha Central team. Although Omaha won, 10 to 0, the game was a real battle from start to finish. The Indian line stars were: Smith, Deem, Munkwitz and Karns. Boberg and Sutton were the outstanding players in the backfield. The reserve squad, under the tutelage of Coach Price Hopkins, went through an undefeated season in their five-game schedule against the second string elevens of Benton, Lafayette and Christian Brothers. Starting the season against Lafayette, the Central team won easily and succeeded in blanking the opposition while garnering four touchdowns and two extra points. The Christian Brothers' seconds were played next and what a thriller that proved to be. An intercepted pass resulted in the only score and Central managed to eke out a 6 to 0 victory. Benton was met the following week and due to the absence of four Central regulars, the game ended up in a scoreless tie, although the Indian eleven made many scoring threats. The first round ended with the Blue and White in the lead with two victories and no defeats. The second round found the Central team in good form and two victories were chalked up. Lafayette again was victim to the Indian seconds, this time to the tune of 13 to 0, although the Central eleven was far superior than the score would indicate. Christian Brothers was met and vanquished again in another tight battle, in which a slow, but steady march down the field resulted in the lone touchdown of the contest, giving the Hilltoppers a 6 to 0 victory. A scheduled tilt against the Benton reserves was called off because of continued bad weather. In all, the Blue and White reserve team won four games and tied one, which is a very impressive record. From this victorious eleven will come much of Centra1's future varsity material and good material may be expected. Page One Hundred Eight WAKITAN BASKETBALL MARSHALL GELLER Basketball Captain--1933 BASKETBALL CAPTAIN Marshall flrishl Geller captained.Central's 1933 basketball team. By showing ex- ceptional playing ability during his sophomore and junior years, Irish was the choice for leader. During his last year, he really showed that he deserved it. He led the offense by his accurate passing, and was a mainstay on defense. As captain, he showed excellent tact in trying to be a real leader. This shlfty forward did not give himself the majority of the basket shooting, as many captains do, but he did all for the better- ment of teamwork, and was successful in this capacity. RESERVE BASKETBALL TEAM I Reserve teams never seem to get all the credit that they deserve, but the S. S. Central does her best in recognizing them as well as the varsity. Central's reserve team in basketball has been very successful this year, winning the majority of their games. Reserve teams should be carefully watched as it is these boys who compose the varsity of tomorrow. The team, this year, along with other honors was entered and made a creditable showing in the Y tournament. The reserve basketball team was composed of: Fred Ladd, Wilbur Klamm, Milton Cowgill, Jake Tovsky, Franklyn Russell, Glen Welch, Maurice Daniels, Roger.Steffens, Clark Gore, Royal Kalis, Donald Fike, Tom Ritchey, Orrin Painter, and Leonard Rothstein.

As we have turned the pages of our Wakitan history. much of our past has been in- terestingly revealed. A ft e r looking at it it seems as if we were once again on board the S. S. Central. Remember the Indian summers, the win- ter days and the lovely months of spring, all cheer- ful, happy-go-lucky student days. Why not go hack to them by the route of the ko- dak pages. Probably the first question in our minds is What is meant by S. 0. SI? Sure not save our ship. No! It means Salute our ship! On the first page stands out the old tower of Ventral. We recall this weather-beaten pal of past glory. We see the ef- fects of a balmy day at lunch time, one crowd is gathered about a certain individual wl1o is playing milkman. An- other group is looking non- chalantly down upon us from the fire-escape, and still an- other tstrictly femininel is just out for the air. Who doesn't remember those rous- ing pep meetings in the street with the band rolling out our battle songs as we give our team a big send off. We see many such familiar scenes and many of our sen- iors, juniors. and sophomores. and even a few of our facility are in pietures on this page. 3 ,, ix. it . f, ilf X Q M 3 ' V, I 5 , .V :AIX S lbw fu 5 511 Q' 5.1 Q IT.

We believe that the personnel of our school is the anchor which holds us fast. That is the significance of this page. Beginning at the top of the anchor we have an attractive group of girls. A most extra- ordinary fact about them is, they are nearly all artistic- ally inclined. Going down to tl1e center we see an excel- lent example of outdoor stu- dying, and at the extreme bot- tom is another result of what a warm day and a lunch pe- riod will produce. On the right anchor arm we have a snapshot of the champion case sitter. Just below him we have a very good repre- sentation of the Mills broth- ers. Above the left anchor arm we see what happened to a senior when two juniors de- cided to stick together. Be- tween the arms of the anch- ors are two winter sport fans. Doesn't it remind you of tl1e times you went to the old pond, skating? In fact, the kodak pages bring back me- mories we wish to keep, and even though we cannot dis- cuss each picture as we would like to do in print, we may gather with our friends and tell one and another the in- teresting stories connected with each picture. Our one wish is that these three pages make live again those happy days spent on the S. S. Central. Y X CD soo, Q, 1, 'fix 4 ' 1 4 yi l -fi. ,.M.... new 'N f-4 35?

Still haven't got my sea-legs yet and get mixed up looking for the dif- ferent cabins. OCTOBER: Oh, the life of a gob! Made a terrible mistake in forgetting to salute the captain, with the result that I am now gracefully peeling spuds in the ship's kitchen. NOVEMBER: I became so adept at scrubbing decks that I was advanced to chief rail polisher. just wait till I get to beta first-class sailor, then will I say, Here, gob, take this pail and clean the port side, first deck, and don't forget to give the rail an extra good shine. Ouch, my poor back and arms. Oh, well, I won't be a gob all my life, small consolation. DECEMBER: Have made many friends. It's comforting to realize that I am not alone in my lowly stand. JANUARY! Am studying hard. VVe soon will have an examination over all rules and regulations of the ship that we have previously learned. FEBRUARY: Orders were issued to trim ship. Had a day shore-leave. It really was appreciated! MARCH: Received special commendation from the first mate himself. I am so proud, my walk resembles that of the peacock. I am the envy of my friends. APRIL: NVas admitted to club for advanced gobs. Am even commanding a little respect from my superiors. Of course, I wouldn't think of letting them suspect that I feel it. MAY: All is hustle and bustle on board ship. Harbor is not far distant. Got severely reprimanded for going down wrong hatchway. Oh, well, live and learn. JUNE: Harbor at last! It was a great thrill to see all the first-class sailors receive their degrees and leave the ship-so impressive and dignified. Won- der if I'll ever, ever get to be so dignified and so confident? Well, here's the best yet, I have graduated from the lowly rank of gob, and now hold the awe-inspiring title of sailor.
