The year was 1908 - a time when coffee was only 36 cents per pound and when two young people could be arrested for eloping. The Model T had just been intro- duced and the country faced an election year after the turbulent previous administration of Teddy Roosevelt- outofthis atmosphere arose Charlotte High and with it the beginnings of an era steeped in the pride and tradition which is Garinger. 2 X Introduction ,, , , AW , ,W f 'Jaya' 5, ,A 2 Y. ,Q . nv 3 a, ' ,lt-.,, ,W ' Y, ,f wwva, , 5, Auf , v tm wifi- yn v W M , E Wi , ,LH wa .

The Rambler published an article in 1923 about a doctor who claimed that kissing could be hazardous to a young man's health. ln 1925 the election of a girl as a class officer brought about a serious protest by the boys at Central. Despite the occasional campus di- lemmas the students showed genuine interest in their school. ln 1922 the entire student body of Central High attended a performance given by a professional Whistler. Among the senior superlatives listed in the 1927 edition of The Snips and Cuts were - faculty's pet, biggest sheik, and caveman. Amid all the frivolity of the Central High of the 1920's one can feel sure the seriousness of the follow- ing decade was not anticipated. Introduction 13
