ND so, at last, our high school days have drawn to a close. Four glorious years have passed 5 four years full of cherished acquaint- ances and outstanding achievements, which are now but treasured memories. No more will we roam through the halls or work in the classroomsg no more will we participate on the athletic fields or turn out and cheer our teams, all these are remembrances, and it is the purpose of this history to sketch briefly and to reflect upon those happy, carefree days. THE FRESHMAN YEAR 0 BEGIN, we must go back to those long ago but not forgotten Freshman days, when the words Profes- sor and Senior wereheld in awe, when Sophomores ridiculed and terrorized us at every turn, and when Student Patrol- men did not roam the halls. Now, with educated minds and increased stature, we scoff and lightly speak of the thoughts of those past days, but under our as- sumed lofty bearings, we all cherish to relive that period of pleasant and mean- ingless days. It was a cool, crisp day in February of 1928 when six hundred timid and ver- dant publicschool graduates appeared for the first time about the premises of Central High with bewildered expres- sions deeply imprinted upon their imma- ture countenances, not knowing where or how to proceed. After being led hither and thither by frivolous Sophomores, we ZALLMAN finally, by chance, located the Audi- torium and straggled in gazing at our- selves, looking upon strange faces and wondering how we would ever get to know ourselves. After seating ourselves we perceived elderly, intelligent-appear- ing individuals strolling in the rear and in the aisles, whom we whispered fur- tively about were Professors. Finally, a small, important appearing man entered from a side door and strode to the ros- trum upon the platform before us, whereupon we subsided into complete silence. Then Dr. Haney, for it was he, began to speak, and several hours later, his welcoming speech had left its mark on the majority of us. To most of us, his address had presented the school in a different light. It had inspired us, made us feel fortunate to have chosen Central for our high school, and it left us a trifle prouder and brighter. The next day we again presented ourselves, with a more courageous and brave feeling, and re- ceived some additional information from Dr. Haney, and our Pathfinders. Thus we assumed that we were all set for the flight of knowledge and ready to hop off for the first lap of learning, but what a landing we had several weeks later, for we soon discovered that the upper classmen were not as gentle with us as was Dr. Haney, and that the ma- jority of the Professors were not as kindly or friendly with us as they ap- peared, and that our studies were more difficult and complicated thanwe thought. 19 Im-- The Hrst review of the rolls served to convince us that more studying and con- centrating were to keep on the necessary if we desired road to success, so we began to exhibit wiser plans, and went to work more carefully over our Latin and Algebra, attempting to do better. As a result, the second report showed fewer depressed countenances among us. During this term occurred the un- timely death of Professor Lawrence Hagy, a well-known member of the fac- ulty. We, who had but a scanty acquaint- ance with him, did not know him well, but he was mourned by the entire fac- ulty and student body. After a summer's vacation, we re- turned to assume the position of high freshmen, for we were in G , and as a result began to have more interest in school activities. For the first time in the school's his- tory, the Debating Team captured the coveted Philomathean Cup as a symbol of our winning the Debating Champion- ship. None of our teams shone to a great extent on the athletic field, although we were deprived of a football champion- ship by the scantiest of margins. In a crucial game with West Philly, an over- enthusiastic crowd swarmed on the field and refused to retreat, preventing further play and breaking up the game. The following day on the replay our pep was gone and we lost, thereby losing the title. It was also in this term that Central celebrated the Ninetieth Anniversary of its existence, with appropriate cere- monies. The Graf Zeppelin made her famous trans-Atlantic flight thisyear and besides viewing the dirigible above our heads from the school building, many of us enjoyed a trip to see it in the hangar at Lakehurst. An event which saddened the entire school took place toward the close of the term. It was in the form of the death of Professor Iames Hugh Moffatt, beloved head of the English Department. He was a favorite of all the students and the entire school mourned his loss. Within a few months Professor Gilmore was chosen to replace him at the head of the Department, and has capably car- ried on in that office. The Dramatic Society presented two excellent performances this yearf Offi- cer 666 , and The Magistrate , both of which we as Freshmen enjoyed seeing. And thus, we closed our Freshman year, ready and eager to enter into the Sophomore year, with our numbers greatly diminished. Some remained be- hind because of their scholastic ability, while others left because of domestic troubles. But the rest of us, cheered on by our conquests in our first year, were eager to be Sophomores and conquer new difficulties. THE SOPHOMORE YEAR FTER a week's rest, we were back again but this time with a firmer step and a lighter heart, for we were Sophomores and could pass on our Freshman humiliations and verdancy to following classes. With expanded chests and haughty appearances we strode about, attempting to make the life of every Frosh miserable and succeeding well. Being a little wiser and more ambi- tious, many of us began to take a part in the school's activities, some attempting to place on the various athletic teams, while others were attracted by the many clubs. The Student Council also claimed the attention of a few, while some of us were content to merely plug along. But, nevertheless, we all were made more ac- quainted with the Jlfrror and Cenlralizer, becoming regular supporters of the two .QI Q0 Ig.. publications with the Barnwell Honor Roll spurring us on to success in our studies. Truly, we were rapidly becom- ing an important part of the school's life. The Houston Field Drive, a campaign for securing the improvements of our athletic field, was brought to a success- ful close about this time. Our field, with its ineffective fence, poor track, and de- cayed clubhouse, was soon repaired and made ready for a remarkable event which was to occur later. In our later term all other proceedings were overshadowed by the occurrence of a truly great event,-the winning of the football championship for the first time in nine years. Our squad of gridders, de- prived of the title the year previous by unfortunate circumstances, were out to win this term and after a sensational season captured the championship in brilliant fashion. Under the masterful coaching of Bert Barron and their bril- liant captain, Merrill Morrison, the team, after losing the opening game to Southern, rose to great heights to defeat all remaining opponents and finally gain undisputed possession of the league's leadership. On the same day that the Whitaker Trophy was awarded to Central for sportsmanship, the school followed the team out to see Southern defeat our boys in the opening game. After being led, 20-0 in the first half, the team hit its stride in the last half, scoring thirteen points, which, however, was not suffi- cient to bring victory. Iudging by the outcome of the rest of the games played that season, that first setback must have stimulated our boys to greater efforts, for all our remaining opponents fell by the wayside. Overbrook, Germantown and Frankford were bowled over in rapid suc- cession by hearty scores. Our old jinx, Vffest Philly, who had snatched away the title from us last year, yielded this time under the Crimson Tide, which was now sweeping aside all opposition. Simon Gratz, reckoned the strongest outfit in the league, was next to be taken over after a spirited battle in which our new spread formation was featured. This vic- tory served to put Gratz out of the run- ning, leaving but Central and Northeast in the championship picture, with the title to be decided in the meeting be- tween these two schools in the final game of the season. Then that final championship game! Before a record-breaking crowd of 15,000 thrilled Central and Northeast supporters, as also students from every school in the city, Bert's Bad Boys won a fierce fought battle over the hard-fight- ing Northeasters by the score of 20-7, with Morrison and the rest of the team playing the game of their lives. It was a tingling and joyous event which will be long remembered by every loyal son of Central. Although only in the Sopho- more Class, we had an able representa- tive in the person of Al Ochroch, scin- tillating end, who was later to figure so prominently in the school's activities. The championship spirit lasted for months with the alumni doing their share in the celebration with speeches, a banquet, the presentation of the Dutch Company Trophy and our official school flag as manifestations of their gratitude. In the midst of the joyous celebra- tion, death again hovered over our pres- ence, this time removing Professor Dan- iel W. Uberly, of the Art Department, who was greatly missed by the students and the faculty alike The Dramatic Club's presentations this year were She Stoops to Conquer and Take My Advice , two outstand- ing successes. After all these memorable experiences, we were ready to drop our Sophomore mannerisms and assume the stately posi- ..,II 21 tion of a Iunior. With our class a trifle smaller than a year ago, the result of the departure of some into the wide world and the failure of some in their studies, we awaited the time when we should enter into our third year of learning and become an organized class. THE IUNIOR YEAR E DID not have long to wait to become upper classmen, for within a week we returned to commence our last two years of study as stately Iuniors. The first important event we looked forward to was the organization of our class. After a fiercely contended election, we selected the following to serve in ofiice for the first year of our existence: Pre.fia'en!.. . . ............ MAX Weiss Vice-Prexideni ........ ELKIN KREITZER S6CfEfdflll. ..,........... SANDER SACKS T renwnrer. ....... MATTHEW WEINSTEIN The class then elected for its adviser, the ever popular Professor William M. Disharoon, to guide us through the many difficulties encountered on the road to graduation. We were now fully organized under the name of the One Hundred and Fifty- seventh Class, and immediately began to function as a class properly should. President Weiss soon appointed the following chairmen for the various com- mittees: Execuffve .... ........... M AX XVEISS Finance. . . .... MATTHEW WEINSTEIN Ring. .... ....... H ERBERT FELD Benqfl .... .... P HILIP KATZ D Paper. ........... IRWIN PiEFsKY The first committee to bring results was our Class Paper, the UD -Tour, edited by Irwin Piefsky, which imme- diately made its debut and continued with unabated success for the rest of the term. The Ring Committee went to work and soon announced that orders would be taken for the class rings, immediately there was a general charge of Iuniors to the school store to measure their fingers. Within a few weeks, the finished product arrived and another rush was made to obtain the rings, and soon we were proudly sporting our shining finger ornaments. Sad to relate, our first benefit, Let Us Be Gay , proved unsuccessful, the class failing to be gay and to support the show. But it was only our first effort at such an occasion, the difference being shown the next term when we made a great success of our benefit. Another unfortunate event funfortu- nate only in its result? was the annual Iunior Day, that great day for third year men, when the Low Iuniors partici- pate against the High Iuniors, in a var- ied sports program. It was a day of high running emotions, what with the oppos- ing factions attempting to commence activities in school instead of waiting for the struggle on the athletic field, The first event was a basketball game, played on the gym floor, which we finally lost after leading in the first half. On the fol- lowing day at Houston Field, with both classes out in full regalia sporting the Iunior Day caps, we continued the strug- gle. We trounced the 156th men in the track and field events but lost a hard-fought baseball fracas which en- abled our opponents to defeat us. Let us unwillingly turn our faces from the out- come of that scene. It was in this term that the amplifiers in the Auditorium were secured by the Student Council, together with a radio and phonograph. We then departed for the summer, with the hope of accomplishing more things in our High Iunior days. In C , our latter term, we returned ...QI QQ Ip.. to find an entirely different system in progress-the new promotion by subject system, which completely revolutionized the antiquated promotion by grade plan. Books replaced sections , each stu- dent was given a separate roster, class spirit was split in twain, chorus was made a regular subject, study periods came into vogue in large quantities on everyone's roster. But the biggest change of all was the introduction of the Welfare CFarewelD Committee, headed by Professor Kaplan, and taking the place of Uncle Joe and his Black Book. VVe wondered how the system could possibly succeed, but within a short while, everything was running smoothly and everybody seemed satisfied. How- ever, the new system brought one great advantage. It enabled us to acquaint ourselves with more students than we could under the old plan. New friend- ships sprang up as the result of the ming- ling of different courses in the same classroom, and we were offered a broader view of things in general. More interesting events awaited us in this term. Our first social venture, the B-C Hop, proved an outstanding success. Shechtman, of our class, together with Kaplin of the 156th, helped to put it over at the Majestic Hotel. Cherry, in care of the Ad-Booki' for our class, helped to procure extra funds through this medium. The more ambitious of us were already casting their eyes at future high posi- tions. Several would-be editors-in-chief were working for the .llirror and Cen- fralfzer while our future presidents of the Student Council and Tribunal were mak- ing themselves noticed. Kreitzer was already an officer of the Council, being the Treasurer of that governing body, while Prasow was a high member of the Tribunal. It was in this term that our second consecutive football championship was won. Although the occasion was not as spectacular as the previous year, there were many thrills and hard-fought bat- tles before the title was clinched. Our team won five league games and under- went an undefeated season, although being held on two occasions to ties. Frankford and West Philly, who fell be- fore us in the year before, were the two who did the trick. The other five oppo- nents gave way readily. The Southern jinx was broken this season when our boys overwhelmed them in the opening game. Finally, after a close, hard-fought campaign, the championship was decided in similar fashion as the previous year when we defeated Northeast in the final fracas, score, 6e0. No one individual shone on the team, for the eleven per- formed as a unit, excelling as a whole. Ochroch, All-Scholastic back, Ardito, who scored the championship touch- down, and Pertnoy, stellar center, were worthy representatives of our class. Ochroch was elected captain of the 1951 football team. Our benefit went over big this term, the committee choosing the successful show, Strictly Dishonorableu, which was enjoying a long run in the city. Needless to say, the fellows did not prove to be strictly dishonorable this time, for they gave whole-hearted support and our treasury grew larger as the result. The Dramatic Club this year put forth HA Pair of Sixesu and Dulcy , Matt Wleinstein, of our class, playing a prominent role in each presentation. The Albert H. Smyth Literature Prize and Phi Beta Kappa Association Prize were both won by Nelson Podolnick. Thus did our third year draw to a close, leaving behind fond memories of --QI Q3 Ir-- our Iunior days and grim recollections of our inexperience as an organized class. But now we were awaiting our entrance into the final period of our four-year stay, where we resolved to rectify our mistakes of the Iunior year and where all our preparations and plans were to be shaped into actuality. We eagerly waited for the few days to pass, and then we were off. THE SENIOR YEAR ENIORSI How strange and unnatu- ral the term sounded to us, for our three years at Central had passed so rapidly that it appeared to be but one. Wle were now in our last year, in a posi- tion where we could be recognized as the school's leaders, setting the example for all the classes under us. Again the first thing of importance was the election of officers for our final year at Central. This election was more heated than our previous one, and the result brought surprises, for three of the four officers to be elected were different men. Treasurer Weinstein was the only candidate to be re-elected. Praridenl. ..,........ ALBERT OCHRCCH Vice-Pre.r1'denl. . ...... ALBERT MILLEIZ Secreiaqy. ........... LEON SHECHTMAN Treaaurer. ....... MATTHEW WEINSTEIN Professor Disharoon, of course, con- tinued as our adviser. Now we were fully organized and ready to commence class activities in the last chapter of our exis- tence. Our president, Albert Ochroch, renowned for his activities in the school's sports, immediately selected the chair- men of the various committees: Eacecafive. ...........

A LBERT NOVAK IS-C Dance. . . . . .ELKIN KREITZER Pfnm. ........ . . .HERBERT FELD Clara Paper .... . . .ISRAEL SATUREN The Pin Committee soon went to work and after many orders were taken, the lapel ornaments arrived, shining brightly in their sparkling beauty. Satu- ren took charge of our Class Paper and produced several good copies. Our representatives to the Student Council this term were Kreitzer, Miller, Ochroch, Weiss, and Gross, Kreitzer was Treasurer and Miller acted as Secre- tary. Prasow, Libros and Pollack placed on the Tribunal, while a few of our class assumed high positions on the Jlirror and Cenfralfzer staffs. Matthew Weinstein, our Treasurer, was appointed Editor-in-Chief of the RECORD BOOK and immediately began to select his staff. The new Olney High School opened this term and several of our well-known professors heeded its call, however, we received new additions to our faculty as a result. The biggest event of the low Senior year then arrived, the BwC Dance. Elkin Kreitzer was chosen chairman of the gala event, which was termed the May Frolicu, and was held at the Ste- phen Girard Hotel. Moe Saltz and his Music Masters provided the tunes for the dance, which proved to be a grand success, both financially and socially. A great achievement which was our good fortune to witness this term was the flight of the gigantic air armada over the city. Composed of some five hundred aeroplanes, and representing the coun- try's entire air force, the fleet staged maneuvers over our heads as we ob- served the greatest peace-time assem- blage of aeroplanes in the history of aviation. It was a scene which the most of us will never forget. The Dramatic Club presented It Pays to Advertise this term with the leading roles being taken by energetic members of our class. --nl 24 In-- Our benefit was held at a motion- picture house for the first time when Al Novak and his hustling committee se- cured at the Keith Theatre HCity Streetsng and we were surely traveling down those city streets to see the show and add a few more shekels to our weakened treasury. Inspired, no doubt, by the football team's second successive championship, Central's other athletic aggregations de- cided to get somewhere also and, as a result, the sports season was among the best in the history of Central, the school receiving the Morrison Trophy, emblem of supremacy in athletics. The basket- ball, swimming and baseball teams all finished in second place as did the tennis aggregation, while the track squad placed high. The second and freshman teams also landed high in the final standings. The satisfactory results indicated the great interest exhibited by the students in regard to the school's sports. Dr. Mitchell and Mr. Casner, two veteran faculty members, announced their retirement this term as heads of the Language and Art Departments. Mr. Eldridge and Mr. Milliette were ap- pointed in their positions. Due to the low amount of money in our treasury and to inspire the quick payment of dues, Treasurer Weinstein announced that class pipes would be given to all who paid their dues in full this term. Needless to say, many of us reached deep and brought forth the extra money to pay up our dues and receive our class pipes. Nelson Podolnick again displayed his scholastic prowess in winning the English Philology Prize as our B term drew to a close. Wle were now set for the Hnal dash down the home stretch and impa- tiently waited for the summer to pass. Wlith surprising rapidity our vacation days flew by and we found ourselves back to assume the ruling power of the school. We returned to find a practically new building in appearance, for the school had been adorned with a new coat of paint and was hardly recognizable. Modern electric lighting fixtures coupled with the display of attractive paintings and the absence of lockers and cases upon the first floor assisted in increasing the beauty of the building. Truly, the school appeared better than it ever had before. Elkin G. Kreitzer had been elected president of the Student Council the term previous, with David Cherry as vice-president. Ochroch, Prasow, Zall- man, VVeinstein, Piefsky, Gross, Ardito and YVilkins formed the remaining repre- sentatives of our class in the law-making body. Paul Prasow assumed the position of Chief lustice of the Student Tribunal, with Bernard Libros as Assistant Iudge and Shapiro, Piefsky and Rofman as other Iudges. The heads of the periodicals were then announced by their sponsors. Henry A. Zallman was selected Editor-in-Chief of the Jlfrror, while Matthew B. WVeinstein and I. Irwin Piefsky assumed the editor- ship of the Cenlralizer. The Council appointed Bernard Mer- sky as the General Chairman of the Stu- dent Patrol. Shapiro, Kaplin, Rosner and Wilkins formed the more important members of the 157th Class on the Patrol. To return to our immediate Class af- fairs, the Benefit Committee was the first at work and they soon selected an excellent show in Private Lives , which proved to be a success and brought much needed extra money into our treasury. The Picture Committee then produced results. Bernard Finkleman secured a contract with Zamsky's Studio and soon Q5 IPI-' the class members were hurrying down to have theirindividualpictures snapped. The group pictures were then taken and everything was in readiness for the RECORD BOOK. Elections for the Class Day Officers were then held and the following were declared victorious: Cfamr Poe! ............ ALBERT MILLER CZa.r.r Prophei. ......... IRVING F. SACK Claw Hl.Jf0fl.LlH. ....

BERNARD MERSKY November 2nd was selected as the zero hour for the payment of dues and Treas- urer VVeinstein made a last-minute drive for the dues, receiving large sums of money. The same date was also the final day for the RECORD BooK material, and Editor Weinstein and his staff completed the final touches and the class archive was sent to press. The greatest evening of our entire stay at Central then took place, when the Senior Prom and the Banquet were com- bined into one affair on Ianuary 27, 1952, in the beautiful ballroom of the Manu- facturers Club. Alfred Haas took charge ofthe Prom, while Carl Kline managed the Banquet. Needless to say, the affair was a glorious success, everybody having a good time. It was indeed a fitting cli- max to our high school life. A most successful ending for our class from the football point of view was that the team won the championship for the third consecutive year, undergoing an undefeated season and extending its string of victories to twenty-six straight. Captain Ochroch, Ardito, Pertnoy, Rush, Hirsch, Leabman and Flitter were our representatives to the squad. The cross- country team captured the champion- ship for the first time in fifteen years, Powell, of our class, leading the team on to a title, and winning individual honors. Thus the history closes amid a blaze of glory. As we leave the old schoolwe cannot help experiencing a pang of sor- row and regret at leaving forever the familar halls. However, all things must come to an end and it is with a reluctant feeling that we depart. Many were the joys and sorrows which we experienced and many were the unforgotten friend- ships which we made at Central. The professors, although inclined at times to present us with ducks , did their best to instil knowledge into our heads. As we enter into the wide universe, eager to face the world, we cannot but preserve the memory of our glorious experiences at Central. Yvith a hope that the class will continue to meet after graduation and occa- sionally glance over these pages in the future, I close the history of the 157th Class. .QI Q6 IA..

His efforts were rewarded by having the honor of being the first Industrialite ever to hold the position of Editor-in-Chief of the Cenlralizer and the first in his course to partake in a Dramatic Club play. His ability to repair the professors' cars certainly gave him plenty of drag during his senior year.

The result was that he secured satisfactory marks in lIis studies, a worthy reward for his labors QD. Millie was well liked by both students and faculty because he was quiet and studious.

The team considered a mediocre one by sports' writers surprised all critics by maintaining a streak of victories marred only by a tie with Frankford High who were considered potential champions. The Mirrors were confident of victory until they backed up against the Blue and Orange of YVest Philly. But, Central displaying the spirit that signifies the Crimson and Gold tradition went on fighting and finished in second place. 1929 ln this year Central emerged victorious and achieved the coveted football trophy, emblematic of gridiron supremacy. This was the first time in nine years that this trophy had been won by the Central cohorts. The Mirrors, after being sur- prised by the Southern gridders by the tune of 20 to 15, turned about and unleashed all of its fury, defeated team after team, finally reaching its goal, the first Cham- pionship in nine years. This was only possible because of such men as Morrison, Sill, Coleman, Blecker, Ardito, Newman and Clauson as ball carriers extraordinary. Clark, Ochroch, and Masters at end, Kreizman the terror and Ashby at tackles, Cohen and Leon Wleingrad at guards, and Holland at center. Of these stalwarts Ardito and Ochroch were members of the 157th Class. 1950 With several men remaining as a nucleus from the 1929 team, Coach Barron rose to majestic heights in coaching his warriors to another championship. The team went through the season undefeated and prolonged their winning streak to nineteen straight games. During this string of victories the Mirrors were consid- ered iron men employing only thirteen men to their second straight Championship. Katz and Brownstein appeared at end positions with the veterans Kriezman and Weingrad at tackles, while Fuoco and Sacks were at guards and Pertnoy hold- ing down the pivot position. In the backfield appeared such luminaries as Captain Blecker, Arty Ardito, Tick Coleman, Gene Clauson, and Al Ochroch. 1951 Starting off with a victory over the highly touted St. Ioe's eleven, Central became City Champions. Then they bowled over Southern, Overbrook, and Frank- ford. West Philly in our annual election day contest was vanquished by a 6-0 score. ln our next game we defeated Simon Gratz. This win gave us our third straight football championship. The Crimson and Gold continued to remain unde- feated by beating Roxborough and Northeast, running our consecutive streak to 28 games. Captain Ochroch, playing his usually brilliant game at fullback, garnered an All-Philadelphia berth, while Porky Pertnoy, adjudged the best center in the city by many coaches, was handed an All-Scholastic berth. Rush, playing tackle, outdid himself, breaking up many plays and staving off' many a rally. Hirsh played a bang-up game at guard with Yermish alternating with him. Flitter and Leabman, backfield aces, saw plenty of action and gave a good account of themselves when they were on the gridiron. Ardito was the strong man when it came to making a yard or two. 4-:JI 117 Ib-- CROSSCOUNTRY TEAM LAFAYETTE POVVELL. I . IJAMON P, VICKERS ,... LEONARD XYICKERS. . .

TIIREADGILL BUIQGETT CROSS-COUNTRY 1928-1929 HE outstanding event of this phase of school sport during this period was the debut of 'lV1r. Damon P. Vickers, formerly of West Philly, as coach. He immediately showed his prowess by presenting us with a Freshman Champion- ship. Our Varsity only finished fifth. It was also in thisyear that Central sponsored its first annual invitation cross-country run. Germantown was the victor with the Mirrors landing third place. 1929-1950 The 1929-1950 season opened with the second annual invitation cross-country run. It was an outstanding success and promises to become one of the traditional athletic events at Central. We placed fourth in this meet. ln the Championship meet Central showed a great improvement by finishing third. This year introduced a 157th Class star who was to dominate the sport, until his graduation, Lafayette Powell. The yearlings followed the example of the previous Freshmen and brought us our second consecutive championship. The Student Council showed its apprecia- tion by donating a silver cup, the award to become the permanent possession of any school winning the invitation meet three successive times. 1950-1951 With the captainship in the hands of Lafayette Powell the cross-country team overshadowed teams of previous years in the number of victories. The invitation meet resulted in a tie for third place between Central and Northeast Catholic. The championship meet saw Northeast barely snatch a victory from us. The year- lings once more brought the school a championship making it three successive wins. The Iay Vees not to be outdone brought us another championship, making it a bright year for the Crimson and Gold. 195141952 This season, with Captain Lafayette Powell who was re-elected at the helm, promised to be the greatest ever enjoyed by a Central team. In several meets the hill-and-dale men came close to making a perfect score. For the first time in the history of Scholastic Cross-Country, a perfect score was made. This feat was performed by Central in a triangular meet with Olney and Southern. CThis mar- velous record was largely due to the hill-and-dalers of the 157th Class, who were the fleet-footed Powell, Custis, Brown, and Frandj Then following these wonderful scores the team traveled to Villanova where the individual crown was captured by Powell and the team trophy was won. The Vickers-coached men repeated with victories in the lnterscholastics and brought to Central for the first time since 1916 a Public High Cross-Country Championship. The Freshmen and second teams brought home the bacon, making Cross-Country History, not only at the home of the Crimson and Gold but also in the Annals of the Scholastic Cross-Country. l I9 Ia., BASEBALL TEAM ALBERT OCHROCH .... ....

VV'ith Fitch and Hoffman the only two regulars back from the preceding year, the team did well to finish third. 1929 The same situation as prevailed in 1928 was presented to Coach Wooley a second time and in a bad position by the lack of material the team had a hard time getting anywhere. The end of the season found the Mittman with only one win over Germantown. Incidentally this put Germantown out of the championship which involved Overbrook, Frankford, and Yvest Philly. 1950 The 1930 baseball season was ushered in by a trouncing administered to Ger- mantown by the tune of 14 to 1. After this good showing against the potential champions, who could have foretold the slump that was to follow? Seven straight games were lost before we could again gain our winning stride, but the belated rally availed us nothing. Ochroch of the 157th Class roamed the center garden and after a good season was elected to lead the team the following year. 1951 After starting the season with a few pre-league victories, the team was nosed out by Germantown and Northeast at the beginning of the season. Not a bit dis- couraged the team went out to redeem themselves and trounced Gratz, the defend- ing champions, 710, Vic Nagleburg allowing the slugging Gratz team only three hits. Our early season defeats cost us the championship as Gratz nosed us out by two points. The team was capably managed and captained by the illustrious mem- bers of the 157th Class, Max Weiss and Obish Ochroch respectively. Sacks, another member of the class, roamed the outer garden while Link tended the key- stone sack. Ben Linder proved to be an able substitute for Captain Ochroch. The second team captured the championship, adding the necessary points toward the annexation of the Morrison Trophy. --al 121 Ia-- TRACK TEAM GEORGE THORNBER. . I A. M. BARRON. ., IULES SCHVVARTZ. .

In the main outdoor event of the year, the Northeast Relays, the team made a commendable showing, placing second. The most consistent performers were Morrison, partici- pating in three events, and Bell, who starred in the high jump. 1929 During the 1929 season the team went along at a fairly good rate of speed. They upset Germantown and Frankford High Schools in a Triangular meet. In a dual meet with Gratz High School, Barron's protege-s clinched first place in every- thing except the broad jump. At the Princeton lnterscholastics Captain Morrison won the hundred-yard clash in the fast time of 10.1 seconds. Vllilliams of the 157th Class scored consistently in the mile run. A 1950 ln 1950 Central High won the Quads Championship. Exceptional strength in the high jump was the main factor of the team victory in the Nleadowbrook meet. In the league the team finished a close second, Powell performing in the mile, Thornber in the 440, 220 and the broad jump, Wilkins in the 220, low hurdles and hundred-yard dash, Riddick and Robinson performing in the hundred and 'two- twenty. All members of the illustrious 157th Class helped bring the school a third in the mad scramble for the championship. 1951 The members of the 157th Class were in fine fettle. During the year VVhat a Man Thornbern, by far the outstanding track man in the Public High League, scored point after point for the Crimson and Gold in the four events he participated in. 1n the broad jump he tasted defeat only once, bowing to aSouthern man when the Mirrors were beaten by the Red and Black for their first reverse of the season. The Southern victory led to a dispute, the score being, C. H. S. 49V3, S. H. S. 49M. Again Wilkins ran in the hundred-yard dash and the two-twenty low hurdles, placing first in many meets. Powell was also an outstanding performer in his events. Riddick placed in every meet in both the 100 and 220. It was during the '31 season that Robinson received his second team letter. Excepting the setback received at the hands of Southern the season was more than successful for the Barron-coached men. -:II 123 1::-- SWIMMING TEAM CARL KLINE ..,. , OTTO I. FISCHER.

The participants of acquatic sports finished fourth, defeating the strong teams of Southern High School, Frankford High, and Simon Gratz High. The splashers showed promise of developing into champions, especially with the intro- duction of such talent as Carl Kline, and Withol, both representatives of the 157th Class. 1950-1951 It was during this period that Mr. Fisher presented the Broad and Green Streeters with a team that surpassed allprevious teams since 1926. YVith only one defeat suffered in a close contest with West Philly, Central almost succeeded in winning the championship. The V.'s, not to be outdone, also finished second. Aiding this powerful aggregation was Carl Kline and 'tVVith WVithol of the 157th Class. 1951f1952 Wlhat looks like a certain championship team is what 1951 brings. Vtlhile the championship is still unsettled it looks like a toss-up between Carl Kline, the breast- stroke champion of the Public High with the fast time of 1.19 and With Withol who is an unusually good sprinter. There are several new swimmers who will strengthen this year's combination. GYM TEAM 1950 OR the first time in the history of Central High, the school was represented n the Public High Gvm League. The athletes, under the able tutelage of Coach Nicolai, gained fourth place in the Public High Champbnships. Robinson and Powell represented the 157th Class. 1951 The addition of Perri and Zeus Rosner, togetherwith Robinson and Powell, formed a team that was almost entirely composed of 157th classmen. The team finished fourth in the league once more. --11 125 BASKETBALL 1928-1929 OACH LENV1S, a newcomer, brought with him a wealth of experience, which was clearly shown at the start of the season. The five started off with all guns booming, defeating Radnor, Norristown, and Penn Charter, but, the team slowed up and garnered fourth place. Al Ochroch was the big gun of the 157th Class during the campaign. 1929e1950 Starting off with a heavy schedule of twenty-nine games, Coach Lewis' men were victorious in twenty-three games. This was an enviable record, but the one blot was Southern's victory over the Crimson and Gold five. The reverse at the hands of the Red and Black spoiled the chances of the five for the championship. 1n the Penn Tournev, after winning five games and reaching the semi-finals, the team was defeated by Overbrook in a close 58-31 game. Nicholson, Anderson and Ochroch were outstanding during the entire season. 1950-1931 A veteran team represented Central in this memorable campaign. The five ran up a long string of victories before being finally downed by Gverbrook in an exciting and never-to-be-forgotten extra-period game. Following this, Germantown and the Crimson jinx, West Philly, were defeated, and the team finished in second place for the second straight year. Ochroch was chosen on the mythical All-Scholas- tic five. Flitter also bore the banner of the 157th Class to victory on the Public High League courts. SOCCER 1928 HIS season began with defeats and sad to say ended with defeats. The main reason for the poor showing was due to the fact that Captain Goldberg, together with Coach Nassau, had to whip a green team into shape. The play- ing of Captain Goldberg and Al Dowbenko, the only regulars remaining from the preceding year, were the bright spots in an otherwise dark season. 1929 This year brought out a stronger and more determined group of regulars to represent the Mirror soccermen. Six veterans from the preceding year injected spirit into the team. After winning a few games they struck Northeast, who were the league champions. The Red and Black then proceeded to blast all Mirror hopes by defeating them in a close battle. The team ended the season in third place. V-21 196 Ia-V ' 1950 ln 1950 the team showed great promise of a championship team. After winning a few games Central stacked up against Northeast, who again proved a stumbling block. Northesat turned back the lV1irrors and again went along to win the cham- pionship. Boo Flitter starred on a soccer team that could make the breaks come their way. 1951 With the football team providing the inspiration the soccer team decided to wake up and do things. The first two games were easy victories, and hopes for championship season began to take on a rosy hue. Overbrook, nemesis of former years, handed the booters their first reverse of the season. The next week saw a strong Gratz team tie the Crimson booters, paving the way for the scholastic cham- pions of last year-Northeast, to hand the Mirror soccermen their second league defeat. The booters managed to place third and save what looked like a champion- ship year from becoming a total failure. WRESTLING URING the fall term of 1951 the wrestling team, sponsored by Professor Nicolai, was introduced into Central. Bob Dallas and Iames Stamos acted as coaches. The Athletic Commission recognized it as a letter sport and a large number of candidates reported. After a series of trials the following were selected to uphold the various classes, according to respective weights: Feringo, Osser, Coryell, Altman, Smith, Bassman, Ardito, and Kriezman, who was selected captain. The team had four meets. The first was lost to Upper Darby by a close score. They then conquered Southern, Upper Darby and Gratz in succession by wide margins. Altman and Ardito of the 157th Class were instrumental in these victories. The second wrestling team in the history of the school acquired a new coach in Mr. Grigson, a newcomer to the gym department. Coach Grigson had a still better season, having five regulars of the previous season back. Altman and Ardito of the 157th Class starred during the 1951 campaign. Coach Grigson deserves much credit in molding together a team of potential champions, and the team deserved the praise showered upon it. 127 Ir-A TENNIS 1928 UR Freshman year was greeted by a team which finished near the top of the league. The team was composed of Captain Altschuler, C. Silverstein, Solomon, Abrams, and Bass and Gustow. The first three men were on the championship team of 1927. Bass was captain of the fall tennis team. 1929 During the year of 1929 the team finished third, due to the fact that we lost our first three men of the 1928 team. The spring term had as a captain, William Abrams, who made himself known as a promising star of the near future. The captain of the fall team was Harold Friedman, who upset many a good racquet wielder for his Alma Mater. 1950 It was not until the spring of 1950 that the hopes of another championship were formulated. Pip Block was elected captain of the team, the other members of the team being Eddie Bordin, Mickey Bodenger, who was the Pennsylvania State boy champion of that year, Chodoff, Lange and Lowenstein as the doubles com- bination. However, the team finished but a few points from the top. Pip was also elected captain of the fall term. 1951 ln the spring of this year, Ed Bordin, the sensational hundred-pound player, succeeded in getting the captainship of the team. Believe it or not, this team did not taste defeat and yet lost the championship to Penn Charter by the slim margin of two points. This team was composed of Block, Bordin, Bodenger, Kline and the double combination of Fishman and Sid Silverstein of 157. The first three men finished the season undefeated. Ed Algazy of the 157th Class was the only capable substitute of this team. , p With the loss of four men of the team, Coach Nassau had a job in securing new material. However, the team finished in third place. Spec Silverstein of the 157th Class led the team during the fall season. This team included Bodenger, Silverstein, Algazy, Solomon, Paul and Hoffchinsky. The second, third and fourth men are of the present 157th Graduating Class. llncidentally it is well to know that Silverstein played with the second tennisteam' for a period of two years while Algazy V.'d for a year. V . THE MORRISON TRGPHY The Morrison Trophy, emblem of supremacy in all major and minor sports, was annexed by Central for the year 1951. This was due to the high standing of the first, second and freshman teams in all sports. --:al 128 Ia-- DM ml M9 In-A lzfb iiii iiii 'EAA TTA 1 1 l 1 1l2'DMMIliIIQ1lZIIAIL lDIH'Dlf'D'-IENBIDAXWIIN13 1l3+oMiDAxNw enoiznveias l DESIGNERS 5 1 l 1 34 North Fifth Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
