BOYLE lic a AU REVOIR, CENTRAL As the time rapidly approaches when the seniors are due to bid farewell to Central High forever, there is a certain amount of regret and sorrow coupled with happiness. There are hours of reflection and medita- tion; recollections of freshman days when we were directed to Mr. Wiener's office instead of the gym- nasium. Our sophomore year closely followed and we inconsiderately inflicted the same initiations upon those “‘measly little freshies.” As we entered our junior year, a light of understanding dawned upon us for the first time, and it was then that the majority of us realized that we were acquiring a valuable educa- tion. Some few did not see the light and could not be made to see it, and so they continued the fun and “cutting” of their freshman days, only to find that they had fallen behind their ambitious friends. Senior days came and we studied harder and grimly determined that if those who have gone before could do it, we likewise could earn a diploma. Perhaps we did become a bit haughty and assume importance, but is that not a senior’s privilege? Did we not study nights so that the time would come when we could be the “big guns” of the school? And now that it has arrived, we are half sorry and half glad. For some, school days are over for the rest of their lives, while others will carry on their educational studies in col- leges and universities. No matter where we may go or what we may do, Central High will always remain foremost in our memories as the institution where we gained our first real knowledge with the able assis- tance of a noble principal and a splendid faculty. It was here that we enrolled as mere boys and girls and lived a happy life of work and social pleasures, learn- ing as we grew. Today we leave, not as children, but as young men and women, carrying with us a knowledge that forms the basic foundation of the judg- ments which will guide the people in future years in government and in business. Central High, we take our hats off to you! —A. O. В. CHOOSING A VOCATION - Choosing a vocation is likened to choosing a vaca- tion; both are usually powerfully influenced by the de- sire of the proud homefolk and by friends performing the role of counsellors. If the youngster was only capable of visualizing the future and determining his calling at that early age, the business man of today would be far better prepared to cope with the situa- tions arising in his affairs. As the youth grows older, his views and opinions of life change, and he finds that the business which seemed adapted to him a year back is now out of the question. He may discover that a dentist or a chemi- cal engineer requires an extensive course of study, or that the doctor needs more than a college degree. He may decide all too soon that he is adapted for an art career and sacrifice his high school training for one in elementary drawing or sculpturing. Statis- tics show that many students who enter high school and college never graduate, and the majority of them, it may safely be assumed, h ad full intentions of com- pleting the prescribed course of study. Numerous changes and occurrences in the life of a youth either tend to determine a suitable vocation or to demolish all hopes for success in attractive fields. A youth may change his choice of vocation several times before he ends his schooling, and then may enter a field most unexpected to him. Still, there are many young men in college who are merely there for the purpose of obtaining general knowledge, and have not as yet determined just what they will graduated. It is said that some men are born humorists, artists do when and mathematicians, and so their vocations are prac- tically handed out to them. For the overwhelming majority of others, the choice of vocation is usually dependent upon personal opinion formed from obser- vation and the convincing advice of others. —A. O. B. ASSEMBLY DEPORTMENT Out of respect for the school, the faculty, and the student body, every Centralite should act his part at Unfortunately, evening engagements and subsequent lack of homework preparation always re- veal themselves at the morning assembly. The girls are usually busy discussing the latest dance step and others are attempting to prepare a little neglected homework, while the assembly exercises are progress- ing lamely and without student co-operation. It is entirely up to the students to sing loudly and sweetly, since without their united voices the results are painful. Everyone should have enough self-control to govern his actions in providing an attentive audience. Dance steps can wait until later in the day and text books should never be opened— during the assembly period. It is pitiful to see so many students humming their memory passages or quadratics, accompanying the piano with the hymn. Starting the day right has a lasting influence over the following hours of work, and incidentally, in- creases Central's enviable reputation. —A. O. B. all times. HIGH SCHOOL ACTIVITIES A prominent characteristic of a good high school is the promotion of various clubs and activities. It is necessary for the student body and the faculty to come into closer contact socially than is permissible in the classroom, and the school organizations breach the gap in a worthwhile manner. Central does not lack any clubs, nor is interest in activities waning, but there is a large fraction of the student body which does not participate in the social and extra-curricular part of school life. There may be good excuses for some of the non- participants, but for the majority, there is no good reason for their not joining a few select organizations. These “nomad students do not realize what they are passing up and should set to work immediately and join in the social spirit of the school. A list of the various clubs and their respective activities is published in his issue of the PIVOT. Read them over and then decide which are best adapted for you and then act. —A. O. B. = E г WD і == (CL —Á TI шва: I Іш КЕСЕ (ium — DISILLUSIONED! By Frieda Halpern Walter Dunly entered Morton High School with too confident an air, considering that he was just a freshman. It seemed as if Walter had quite a queer conception of what high school meant. To him it ap- peared at first like a place where one needed to work but. very little and still to be granted many privileges. (Of course he was a freshman, for how could any- one else have such preposterous thoughts!) Never fear, though, Walter was soon to be disillusioned! Due to all the wandering about that Walter did while looking for the room where he had been di- rected, he learned quite a bit about the school build- ing. But sorry to say, only about the building. After waiting hours as it seemed to him, Walter, armed with a schedule and books commenced his high school career. z Although lessons were begun at once, the kind- hearted teachers dealt very gently with the freshmen, knowing how new and timid they felt amidst their new Little by little, however, the comers were put to work. Walter gave no thought whatsoever to this, having set his mind upon studying only where it was abso- lutely necessary. One day, shortly after the term had begun, he entered his Civics class with no idea at all of what the lesson dealt with. (It might be added here that due to the above facts, Walter was looked surroundings. new- upon as quite an important personage among the fresh- men). Oh, thought poor Walter, “if only the one in front of me would sit still, the teacher might forget that I'm in the room. But no, the boy in front of him persisted in wriggling about in his seat. Poor foolish Walter! Imagine a teacher not knowing which of the students were or were not present. These thoughts were soon interrupted when the teacher, speaking in a clear and distinct voice said: Walter Dunly, will you tell us the reasons for establishing city governments?” Walter only stood and listened. “Why Walter, surely you must know the answer to that question. It was very clearly defined in the chapter assigned for your homework.” The only answer that Walter had was, “I am un- prepared. “I am afraid that you are not starting your studies as a student should, so for tomorrow, besides doing the assigned homework, you will hand me, written out five hundred times, “I must prepare my lessons every . day. Remember, added the teacher, “this is all for your sake only. Thus it was that Walter's first vision of what high school meant was completely shattered. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISE Commencement night had arrived. Joseph Harlen, the valedictorian of the class, was repeating his speech to himself as he was getting dressed. Being the vale- dictonan of this special class was worth while, as no group of idlers were graduating with Joe. It was this fact that made him whistle after he had finished practicing his speech. Moreover his father had prom- ised him at least a few years in college if he did well in high school. While he was absorbed in getting his tie straight, he heard some one call him. He recognized the voice of his younger brother, and thinking that he only wanted to borrow something of his, Joe continued to dress. Going into his mother’s room for a flower for his lapel. he spied a bottle of perfume on her dresser. Having a notion that he must be perfect tonight, of all times, he took the atomizer and sprayed some per- furne on his tie. His nose fancying the perfume, his eyes ignored it, until, surveying himself in the tall There on his white tie were great splotches of dark. What was that perfume made of, anyway? He tried to wash it off, but it spread. As it was getting late, he called his brother, wanting him to go to the store for him and get the next best tie that he could. But, as was al- ways the case, Joe's brother had disappeared. There was nothing else to do but to go himself. mirror, he gasped with surprise. Quickly slipping on his hat and coat, Joe ran down to the dry groods store where, after dire considera- tion he selected a tie. Reaching home, he hastened up the steps and was about to enter the front hall, when he heard some unfamiliar voices coming from the living room. He stopped and tried to recognize them. but being unsuccessful, he went to the door and pecked in. There was his father, tied to a chair, and his mother was imploring a man with a gun in his hand not to kill Mr. Harlen. Listening to see how affairs were, Joe gathered that this man was his own uncle who had gone insane. Having the false idea that Mr. Harlen had done Mrs. Harlen an injury, he wanted to kill him. Joe's mother was trying to help him get his senses back, but the lunatic would not listen to reason. Joe saw how affairs stood and, catching the eye of his father, motioned him that he would get help immediately. Joe then ran down to the police precinct and got two officers who were able to handle the lunatic. Reaching home, the trio found Mrs. Harlen's pleas just about run out. The lunatic was just going to shoot Joe's father when one of the policemen grabbed the gun, and the other twisted the arms of the sur- prised would-be murderer until he screamed. After the regular excitement had passed, Joe, his father and his mother left for the school. late now, a half-hour after commencement was to be- gin. Reaching the auditorium, Joe rushed up to the room where the graduates were to assemble before marching up to the platform. He was greeted with shouts of welcome, as the commencement would not be a success if there was no valedictorian to stand up for the class. As Joe walked up the aisle, the first of a long row of anticipating boys, he felt a thrill of delight at his evening's work. With a closing such as this, any boy would feel happy. Joe did too. Soon it was Joe's tum to speak. He delivered his valediction, without a flaw. The clapping of the people was so great that his senses seemed to go into thin air. A moment later and he opened his eyes. He had fallen through the bed, and what he thought was the clapping of the people was only the bed falling around his head. With the realization that it was only a dream and that he was still in his freshman year at high school, Joe heard his brother calling him for school. He dressed quickly, but reached school late. Instead of the welcoming of his class, he received only a deten- tion slip. It was very —Hilda Forster. BEGINNING TO LEARN The warm spring sunshine filtered through the study hall affecting those therein with a touch of spring fever, otherwise known as “laziness.” “I just can't work, that's all there is to it, sighed Bill Hower across the aisle to his friend Jack Gordon who was diligently occupied in attempting to keep his eyes from closing. I wonder why teachers never seem to be affected by spring, continued Bill, may- be if they were, they would be more understanding and considerate.” Jack yawned as the bell denoted the end of the period. The boys strolled along the corridors depending upon each other for support when they suddenly lost their balance and fell through a swinging door into a spacious room equipped with machinery. Well, I'll be jiggered, remarked Bill after they had regained their composure, “а� а here I am a junior and have never been in this room before—let’s see— this must be the dynamo room. Dynamo room? So's your old man, laughed Jack, “see all those engines, he continued, pointing out some revolving apparatus at which several young fellows were busily engaged, well, they cut metal, and while I've never been in here before, I think they call this the foundry.” Golly, but those fellows don't seem to mind the weather. dig in! Bill and Jack curiously idled up to where one fel- low was working and enquired as to what he was do- ing. The youth was garbed in an apron and dis- played blackened hands and a dark smudge spread across his forehead, “I'm turning on a mandril.” he replied as he shifted a lever and brought the revolving Just see how they roll up their sleeves and work to a stop, revealing a piece of metal being cut into the proper dimensions. Jack perked up, This is the foundry, isn’t it?” The youth smiled broadly— ‘Hardly—this is the machine shop.” 4 І� tum the boys strode past the various lathes and becoming deeply interested in the subject, likewise in- spected the foundry and discovered the discrepancy in They toured the forge and 1 the general method of pat- freshmen making admirable pieces of furniture in ti... joinery shop. Do you know, Jack, offered Bill as the youths walked to their lockers after spending an afternoon of pleasure, there is something in that technical course that is worth while. I like the way they roll up their sleeves and dig in, and get their hands dirty.” Jack gazed upon his manicured nails for a few moments and then replied, “I see, Bill, we'll take up some of this work and learn something along practical lines—and that's just it—dig in and learn something their previous beliefs. sheet metal shops, lea: tem making, and saw for ourselves. I see the work is interesting, too, and say, won't dad be surprised when he comes home some night and discovers that I've repaired the drain pipe. and I guess I'll also fix the runner on Bob's sled.” And we'll learn how the metals are mined and treated, and how large pieces of machinery are moulded, cast and machined.” Say there, chimed in Jack, “you've learned some- thing already, and believe me, we shall join the Tech- nical Club and travel about with the members of the various plants and actually see just how this large world about us is functioning.” Two more fellows had just begun to realize the usefulness of the technical course, not only as a brain exerciser but as furnishing experience and wide general knowledge. Learning to think and reason things out for your- self—that's the important factor! —Arthur E. O'Brien. THE BUGS (With apologies to Edgar Allan Poe) See the many, many bugs— Buggy bugs! How they flutter through the twilight, causing us ex- cited shrugs. How they rustle. rustle, rustle, In the dreamy air of night; Flipping. flapping on the highway, Booming, buzzing on the byway, Under each electric light. How they dip, dip, dip! How they zip, zip, zip! Till they whisk about our whiskers and go-mugging at our mugs! Oh the bugs, bugs, bugs! Oh, the bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs! Oh the night is two shades darker than the bugs, All the sorts and kinds of bugs! Fuzzy bugs! Bugs that humbly beg your pardon, bugs that throw on lugs! How they flutter, flutter, flutter, Til some lady gives a shriek, Fill she clutches at her bonnet, Shouting that a bug is on it For she felt it climb her cheek, How they wing, wing, wing! How they sing, sing, sing! The mosquitoes and the beetles, and each buzzy, buggy thing, Oh the bugs, bugs, bugs! Oh the bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs! There’s a million miles of breeze containing bugs. There are June and lady bugs! Whiskered bugs! There are bats, fleas and locusts, there are moths in search of rugs. Bugs that hurt like a missile! Bugs that roar and bugs that whistle; Bugs in many colors tinted; Bugs (but let that be not hinted). And they hold a big convention under each electric light. Oh the bugs, bugs, bugs! Oh the bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs! What a buzzy, buggy, bumping bunch of bugs! — Mary Kula. ON TEACHERS Some teachers are easy, others hard; (Or so it seems by a student's card). However, let us drop the chatter; And find out just what is the matter. First, do the pupils do their work? Well, some of them do, the others shirk. Secondly, are they very attentive? No, although they've every incentive. Then, do they try to co-operate ; And help all they can when teacher's late? No, but they can make plenty of noise— And this includes both girls and boys. Are they obedient on every occasion; Or perhaps they incline toward aggravation? The latter condition is generally found; As everyone knows, who has been around. Now, all these things in a teacher’s life, Tend to make him as sharp as a knife; And the students whose fault it is, Act as though the offense was his. —-Raymond Apgar. HOW TO FLUNK The following prescription has been guaranteed by numerous personages as a sure method by which one may attaın the depths of failure. You may have faith in the words of these persons for they have had the experience of accomplishing the feat mentioned above. To begin with, determine that you are not going to like a certain subject. Bear this fact in mind, for you will not attain worthwhile results, if you for one minute fail to remember your dislike of it. Decide that your teacher has it “in for you”; you just know that he will fail you regardless of the type of work you do. Tell everyone that you have the hardest teacher in the school and believe it yourself. (This is said to come very natural). See to it that everyone (includ- ing yourself) knows at the beginning of the term that your chances of passing are slight. Do not attend classes regularly. Let your dislike for the subject cause you to frequently absent your- self from class. When you feel ambitious enough, go to class. How- ever, do not, under any circumstances think of making up work you have missed. For if you do, there is less chance to reach your goal. Do not force yourself to listen unwillingly to your teacher's ceaseless explanations. Allow your mind to wander where it will. If you have a desire to gaze out of the window, by all means see to it that you satisfy your desire. Д Have а� obliging friend do homework for you ос- casionally. Let me advise you, however, to make certain that he knows not very much more than you do. Moreover, do not allow him to do work for you too often. Plan to be absent whenever a test is to be given. If your friends are inquisitive as to whys and where- fores tell them you were ill. (It is not necessary for them to know the real reason.) Follow carefully the advice given above for three months. Then the only thing standing between suc- cessful results and you will be the examinations. Take your first examination. Depend upon the fellow at the next desk to help pass. Allow the teacher to see you gazing at your neighbor's paper a few times. This will result in the inevitable confisca- tion of your test paper. Pretend a cold on the day of your last exam. And lo! you will have attained the goal of— failure. And when the list of flunkers is out. YOUR NAME LEADS ALL THE REST! —Frieda Halpern. THE GIVING OF A SPEECH Tomorrow I must give a speech, A helpful lesson it will teach, The topic of my speech will be “О� Carelessness, oh my, oh me! After a restless, sleepless night, And losing much in weight and height, I come to school and there await, And wonder what will be my fate. When suddenly I hear a call, Into the pits of fear I fall, My name it is that now I hear, While others loudly clap and cheer. Two minutes pass and I am through, A clap, a cheer, and smiles—my due. And down the stairs I quickly run — Instead of work it was plain fun. — Martha Meisner. gm Г i FV. = a! mata Y - _ === ы, OUT OF SCHOOL 1 sit at the typewriter all day long And think of the school days I hated; | think of the days that I came late, And in the “tardy” line waited.

SONG OF THE HOLLAND DYKES Stop, O Sea, Stop! Leave off your pond'rous might And your roaring and your warring And go your way to-night! Stop, O Sea, Stop! I feel the great wall rock With the slashing and crashing Of each death-bearing shock! Stop, O Sea, Stop! Before it is too late Гит back your force from its death-course And free the straining gate! Stop, O Sea, Stop! Have mercy on all! With your bounding and your pounding The dykes will surely fall! Stop, O Sea, Stop! Before you crush the wall! Would you break us, would you take us? Then make the old dyke fall! Stop, O Sea, Stop! Y ou cannot break the wall With your spiting and your fighting, For the dyke will never fall! — Bert Lowres. JACK'S BELOVED Jack was on his way to work. He was worried. When he had left the house, his best pal and com- panion, Nell, had been ill. He had not wished to leave but necessity had compelled him to, after having been assured by the housekeeper that Nell would be well cared for. All moming he had worked in a mechanical manner and when noon-time came, he had rushed home to find Nell a little better and waiting expectingly for his home-coming. He had begged her to get well and had told her that if she would only do so he would never treat her cruelly any more. Nell had sighed and looked at him with wistful eyes. She had not said anything, however, having heard similar promises before. The housekeeper brought Jack his food, but how could he eat when Nell was lying there so sorrowful and helpless. For the rest of the week Nell remained ill. The doctor, however, reported that she would be well enough to get up on Friday. This announcement was made to the housekeeper while Jack was at work, and she, wishing to surprise him, did not telephone. Duringsthe afternoon, the housekeeper dressed Nell in her prettiest ribbons, sprinkled her with perfume, and placed her before the window so that Jack could see her as soon as he turned the corner. At five o'clock Jack started on his way home, wishing and praying, that Nell, his beloved, could come and meet him. He waved, and Nell, in her joy at seeing her lord and master, rushed down the stairs before the housekeeper could stop her. Jack opened the door and picked her up in his arms, and she, to show her joy, kissed him. While Jack was eating his supper, he opened a large package which he had brought with him. On the cover of the box, it said, Spratt's Dog Biscuits. When Nell saw this familiar box, she sat on her hind legs and barked. Jack, gladdened by her old capers, gave her one which she nibbled, and he determined never to beat her cruelly again. —Ruth Clancy. THE WEST Out where the West begins, That is where I long to roam, To see the giant mountains, And glories far from home. There is the rushing wind Blowing the clouds to their nest, For night is coming now Giving Nature her rest. Out from the bare hill-tops, Comes a sight hitherto unseen, To the Thin— Don't eat fast. To the Fat—Don't eat. Fast. Tis not a magic lamp But the new moon's friendly beam. And then again at dawn, Comes the sun in golden hue To bid the moon good morn And bid the stars adieu. Out by the rushing streams Far West of the Great Divide That's where I long to dream To go right there and bide. — Charles Hart, Jr. “Are you a fraternity man? No. Someone gave me this shirt for Christmas. Johnny was just a small boy and it was only natu- ral that he should want to do such things. As he later explained to his father (who understood everything) it had all happened because of Jerry the Pup. You see he had gone fishing with the gang and had fallen in the creek. “Mother,” Johnny told his father, doesn't like me to play with the gang but a fellow isn't-a fellow if he doesn't belong to a gang. Well, they had gone down to the creek in Hillier's field and on the way down Cobbler's Lane they came across a dirty, white puppy with pitiful brown eyes. When, with boyish curiosity, they had gathered around, it offered to their friendly and sympathetic gaze a broken white paw. They speculated as to how the dog got there and to how it had been hurt, but none of them could reach a definite conclusion. So, said Johnny to his father, here was a ter- ner pup that didn't belong to anybody and here were a gang of fellows who would like it to belong to them so why couldn't they have it. That part of it was all right. But each boy wanted the dog. What were they going to do about it. No use fighting for it. Into the argument that ensued, stepped little Ivan, the peacemaker, with the bright suggestion of the shortest stick. Each boy got a twig, cut it the required length, handed it to Ivan, who cut one shorter than the others, and arranged them in his hands so that all the visible ends were even. Then with hopes beating high each boy drew, and to Johnny's huge delight and yet faint misgivings as to the feminine parent's words and actions he drew out the shortest twig and thus won the puppy. The affair was settled. What more to do? The boys with patient martyrdom imitated on each face so well that it looked realistic, continued their walk to the creek with Johnny, the dog in his arms, tri- umphantly bringing up the rear. But at the creek Photographer— Look this way and see little dickey bird come out. Modem child ——Oh, don't be a nut; expose your Plate and get it over with. 13 the boys forgot their depression and each ran as hard as he was able, hoping to reach the vantage point, a flat rock in the creek itself, first and thus be possessor of the best place to sit while fishing. As Johnny ran along the bank his foot caught in the root of a tree and he fell sprawling, face first, dog in his arms, in the creek. The gang shouted derisively while Johnny picked himself up, a sorry looking figure in his bed- raggled dirty suit with a dripping wet dog hugged in his arms. He thought immediately of his mother and knew what was to be expected when he reached home; and deciding bravely, he announced to his companions that he was going home. On the way home he tried to console himself with the fact that surely he would be allowed to keep the bog because he had won it, but it was a futile effort. Then he tried to think of a name for his dog. Should he call it Fido, or Jerry, or Prince? And then! Oh horrors! There was his house in sight. Johnny, though a small boy, was as sly as any other small boy, and he crept around to the back door. Luckily there was no one there or in the kitchen and so he continued on his way to his room, through the back passage, up the side stairs, along the hall passage, when the door of his father's study opened and there stood his father. Johnny was so surprised to see his father home at so early an hour in the after- noon that he nearly dropped the mentally named Jerry, who recalled Johnny to his senses by a soft yelp. Jerry remembered that his father had a golf match for three o'clock. And thus it happened that Johnny found himself seated in his father's study on his father's knee pouring out his troubles. Now, he knew he need have no more worries about the gang or Jerry. — Violet Webb. “What are you going to do with this month’s al- lowance 2” Don't know whether to take you out again or to buy a roadster.” As usual I went to school That balmy summer’s day, But h ow could I obey the rule And force myself to stay. Then in the middle of my play Within the crowded gym, Myself I softly stole away Without alarming din. I took me to the swimming pool Therein the day to spend, But only myself did I fool, I did not comprehend. The school had seen these tricks before On days of sultry heat, SPRING FEVER The sun is shining brightly, The pretty flowers swaying, The green meadows are sightly, And sleek donkeys are braying. The birds to their mates trilling, The old church bell doth ring, And clerk s forget their billing, For it is known as Spring. The boys are playing marbles, The girls are playing about, While Sister simply marvels, That she is going out. Mother is very tired, And so she takes a nap, Brother has just been fired And calls himself a sap. The day waxes warmer, But still a song is heard. Through the window, dormer, The Spring Song of a bird. CAUGHT So they were on the lookout for Students so indiscreet. Detention room held out its arms, Kindly was I received, I pleasantly was shown the charms, Of all who disbelieved. So now in thought I spend my day Most listlessly and meek, To all in school I must now say Please do not pleasures seek. For you no doubt will find out to be As I had been before, And consequently you will see Just why I now am sore. — Mickey Malkin. FEEDING TIME AT CENTRAL HIGH — Margaret Towey. How our stomachs roll and grumble, As through the halls we dash; And smell sweet essence of cod fish, Or onions in the hash. All eyes gaze clockward anxiously, As we listen in despair To many a long-winded speech; And then rush down the stair. A hurried bound o'er the threshold; Slap-bang each grabs a tray, Cod fish and hash with onions The inner man to stay. K-bang crashes someone's luncheon, A river of soup flows by; Aunt Carrie scolds us shrilly And with the mop does fly. The feeding time now is over; Back to classes we dash, And taste sweet essence of codfish And the onions in the hash. — Esther Yablonsky. JAZZ [his famous jazz that they applaud, These music-makers bring such din, It seems to me, is one big fraud. It sounds as though they're hitting tin. | his jazz, with all its wailing tones, Once more a sad and sweet old tune, Just sends a shudder through our bones. I'd like to hear my mammy croon. [ће blues in which they all delight, My mother, who would often sing, Will some day make my hair grow white. Did teach me songs that mem'ries bring. [he blaring trumpets that resound, That melody will never wane, Remind me of a wailing hound. Till I forget that old refrain. lhe saxophone that loudly whines, [he music that is now the rage, Oft makes me think of sad canines. Will ne'er replace that other age. —Florence Begel. CUPID'S DAY-OFF He went to Cupid’s garden; He gazed into her basket, He wandered o'er the land, He wished he had a taste; The moon was shining brightly ; There sat his lovely charmer He held her little—shawl. . His arm around her—umbrella. Yes, he held her little shawl, Embracing her umbrella, How fast the evening flies! This charming little Miss, ‘They spoke in tones of love; Her eyes so full of mischief, He gazed into her—lunch basket. He slyly stole a—sandwich. —Mary Kula. COMMENCEMENT SONG The day has dawned, the night is nigh, And may we always bring thee fame, Hearts beat happy at Central High, Always deserving to bear thy name! But, sorrow, too, is coupled there, We cannot part without a care; Mother of Wisdom, Minerva fair, Perhaps the tears are shed in gladness, Ripe in knowledge, in judgment rare, Oh, Alma Mater, dispel our sadness! We cannot leave without a throe, To you all that we are we owe; CHORUS And though today our pathway sever, ` We shall remember you forever. So, Central High, we bid adieu, With love still in our hearts for you; —Arthur E. O'Brien. WONDERS OF THE WORLD WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF— Sam Chinsky wasn't seen with the girls.

Rowan, after successfully leading the graduating class through the 4C and 4B terms, was forced to relinquish his position as adviser due to severe illnes. Under his careful supervision the class organization built up a treasury of enviable pro- portions, the benefits of which are to be derived this term. Mr. Rowan has not deserted us, however, for while Mr. Snodgrass has stepped forward and capably filled the advisership position, our former leader re- tains his interest in the class. Mr. Rowan’s LETTER April 7, 1927. Class of May, 1927: Your committee on Faculty has sought my 'impres- sions of you as a class. Chaucer's nowhere was there noon” suggests itself as the best possible epitome of your characteristics. Flattery this is not, nor is my love blind. You, in truth, never manifested any shortcomings during my 4C and 4B advisership. Since “Brevity is the soul of wit , let me state at once your outstanding trait, namely, your unselfish Your wonderful teamwork in two major scale operations, the Mosque Theater Party unity of spirit. and the Valentine Dance, proves your calibre. Al- though preliminaries to these events had been started under my guidance, your success therein was impre- cendented on account of your co-operation with that kind-hearted Mr. Snodgrass who so nobly volunteered to carry on during my illness. To you and him I herewith extend my public thanks and felicitations. Your meetings also evidenced this same spirit of unity. Your punctuality of starting them on time, your frank discussion of business, your thoroughness of transaction, your refraining from petty jealousies, and your willingness to serve on committees proved that the welfare of the class as a whole was always paramount. No selfish interest ever prevented any sac- rifice of time or energy. That enviable slogan, “Се� - tral leads, others follow, you always kept in mind. Her honor and her reputation you always upheld while you worked to “go over the top with the largest 4A treasury the school has ever known. Your unequaled success in this endeavor was again due to your spirit of “о� е for all, and all for one.” Central High is truly richer for having had such a class as that of May 1927. Newark, too, will be rıcher in her citizenry because you really practice self- control and self-reliance. You have learned “to pro- mote the general welfare, one of the primary purposes of the Constitution of the United States, and, hence your country will be richer. Be true, then, to the ideals of your school, and you will always enjoy peace of mind and heart—my sincerest wish for you all. Your former adviser, JOSEPH F. ROWAN. YOUR CHANCE Educators claim that if a boy at fourteen, gradu- ated from a grammar school, will go through high school, that at twenty-five he will eam more than the grammar school graduate earns at thirty, and he will reach his highest earning capacity at forty. Between eighteen and sixty he will earn about $78,000. This is $33,000 more than he could eam without it; his four years in high school will have paid him $8,250 a year. — Old Bank Notes.” May 3, 1927 DEAR PARENTS: You desire your dear ones to succeed. To attain a worth-while place in life, hard work, conscientious effort and even a helping hand, generously extended to all competitors are necessary. To win one's way in the world, one must be educationally and physically equipped to fight all the difficulties that naturally and even unexpectedly rise in the path of duty and ambition. Build up thought ideals, task ideals, social service ideals: Tasks must be performed on time. Delay and procrastination cannot be brooked. Teach children to count progress by their own doings and their own hands, and not by the hands of the clock. In this age of marvelous inventions, the individual may through proper development and social service reach the highest advantages in the world. The great temptation is to rush in thoughtlessly, to push aside everything and everyone ruthlessly, in the scramble for the successful goal. Constantly point out to children the ideals of life, the worth-while things that cannot be bought; teach them the value of the richness of thei r own minds and souls; the value of ideals and things that are ordinarily invisible and incomprehensible to them. Help the children to realize that after all the greatest possessions they can acquire are perfected physical and educational individualities. Very sincerely yours, ln. A Principal. Orrin W.

AE жәе oret, Could we do without some Centralites is hard to say, Yet Edwin Debaum answered it in an interesting way. Warren Wolff about “Baseball” did tell, And delivered it both clearly and well. Now we of course heard of the Roxie Theater and such, From Abe Berkowitz who on things of interest did touch. “We Love Central, a subject much involved— Rose Brandt spoke and it was justly solved. Much praise is due to Jack Ferendelle, Twas agreed we all liked his playing Cherie. Irving Slavin on the Mississippi spoke, And keen interest in many awoke. Central Leads and Others Follow, is the motto, you know, Belle Silberlat urged all to the Branford to go. Jim—How far from the answer to the first problem were you? Jam— About four seats. Why I Like Central is easy to say— Malkin said it in a charming way. John Morrisey told us about the man, Grover Cleve- land, In a manner so that we were all made to understand. About Amy Lowell Anna Lewitt rose to tell And surely she said it both loudly and well. Mari o Farco in French softly spoke, And interest was shown as many awoke. Of Anna Kloss you all must know, Who spoke in Latin clear and slow. Isadore Bromberg on the Catcher did talk, Not once did he stop, not once did he balk. Sonya Salb on McDowell did speak, She certainly reached the highest peak. Capital Punishment, a topic widely discussed, Was told by Harry Appel with a great deal of gust. Frat—May I borrow your red tie? Frater—Of course; but why the formality? Frat—lI can't find it. о е FRIEDA E ART ODRIENO КЕ BRANDT 'WARREN WOLF?

Chadwick, graduate of August Class of 1921, was elected one of the Assembly men irom Essex County during the present year. Mr. Chadwick's career is a most interesting one, and an excellent illustration of what sheer persistency ind bulldog tenacity can accomplish. When twenty- mne years old Mr. Chadwick was one of many un- employed men of this city with no prospects in view, truzgling along as well as anyone could hindered by the lack of a high school education. Mr. Wiener after many neighborly entreaties persuaded him to enroll This was in 1914. For seven long years Charles Chadwick came to day-school and to night-school, worked for a diploma, supported a wife and two children, and collected in- stallments for a local house. A plucky undertaking , for any man. Ihe fall of 1921 saw him enter New Jersey Law in Central. Mildred Schornstein is now private secretary to Mr. Shanefield, a lawyer.

Louis Zients is studying law at Mercer Beasly. attends Mercer Beasly CHADWICK School with a total capital of thirty-five cents. This was no cause for worry to Mr. Chadwick. He bor- rowed the money needed for his first tuition, and used his classmate's books. He borrowed again for his third tuition, but after that managed to pay his own way through. At the age of forty-one, after twelve years of hard struggle, he was admitted to the Bar, and now has ex- cellent prospects in view. At twenty-nine he was one of the groping millions. At forty-one he is a promis- ing success. Mr. Chadwick gives the credit of all his accom- plishments to Mr. Wiener, and Central’s capable and obliging teachers. Their words of encourage:nent and willingness to help shall never be forgotten. It is interesting to note that Mr. Chadwick's daugh- ter, Doris, will soon become a Centralite. — Gertrude Ullrich.

Per- haps there are many students curious about its origin, and its past activities. In the following paragraphs you will see how this club worked its way to great success. Three years ago the pupils of Central wanted a Music Club. They desired some connection with the musical world. With the aid of Dr. Smith and Miss Beane, our music instructors, the club was soon organized with many members. They elected as their first president, Emanuel Pfeiffer, and were soon well on the way to success. The club during the past two years have taken every means to make themselves known. They have broadcast over the radio, so that the people of the United States knew Central High School had or- ganized a Music Club. In December, 1924, the Music Club gave a musicale, which proved to be a great suc- ces. In April, 1925, the club took its most impor- tant step. With the co-operation of the Choral Club and the Girls’ Service Club. twe large organizations of the school, they gave a concert in the school audi- torium. This, too, turned out to be a great success. The concert was attended by the professors of the New York University and many other men of note. Anna Pinto, a harpist of fine talent, contributed to the pleasure of the evening. The fine performance, both by the Choral Club, and the Orchestra was due to the efforts of Dr. Smith, and the house rang loud with applause. During the past year the Music Club did not give anything special, but have furnished entertainment in the morning assemblies by having its talented member: either play an instrumental solo, or render a vocal se- lection. In this way good music is promoted through- out the school. The Music Club was organized to help those in the school who are musically talented and to award those who have made use of their talent by giving enjoyment to others in the school. Musicians of the best rank often attend the meetings and entertain with musical talks and recitals. In this way the club becomes ac- quainted with the musicians of yesterday and of to- day. Recently three members entertained over the radio. | he program consisted of the following: Piano selections—Esther Epstein. Violin selection— Benjamin Rabinowitz. l'alk--John B. Brasser, Jr. Most of the students listened in and it was enjoyed by all. judging from the number of letters received. one John B. Brasser Jr., William Sanson, and Kather- ine Woliansky were selected to represent Central at the Music Festival Chorus. They were sent by Dr. Smith because of their ability to read notes and the quality of their voices. In doing this these pupils are en- couraged to develop the talent that lies within them. 0— The last concert given by the Choral Club and the Words can- not express the gratitude owed to Dr. Smith and Miss Beane for their hard work in preparing these students for the concert. The school hopes to have another such concert soon. Orchestra was enjoyed by all present. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT IF— Dr. Smith lost his glorious smile. Miss Beane let the tardy ones go. Ben Rabinowitz refused to play in the assembly. John Brasser stopped singing. Esther Epstein got a low mark in music. Louis Klein forgot his home-work. Max Fink sang an Italian solo. Fay Williams came with his work prepared. Florence Lustig stopped laughing. Sonia Salb stopped chewing.

Evelyn Grad has some influence over the fellows. Let us in on your secret formula, will you, Evelyn? Who is the man in the red pants? It was this way: Walt Flipowicz, as per usual, was amusing himself with some feminine masquerade apparel at the Hi-Y meeting and his fellow members took him seriously. In an instant Walt was on the floor and several pairs of eager hands were dressing him despite his protests by kicking and squirming. Another minute and he was carried out into the dining room and dropped upon the floor, and in a second he disappeared amid the cheering of the fellows. in The 4A class has gone on the war path. They insist that the pictures taken for the PIVOT were terrible.

So this time I am going to be serious and mention those only who I са� say some- thing nice about. Those who haven't tried to persuade me to mention their names, are as follows: B ? ?

Ask any students in the school what congress did yesterday and in all probability they will not know, but then inquire how Hairbreadth Harry is making out and everyone will be brimful with information. Mr. Webb tells a story of a student taking an exam in his class one summer term. The shade being torn on one window, the hot sun beamed in upon the youth causing him to sweat, and twitch uncomfortably in his seat. With his customary thoughtfulness the instructor asked the student if he cared to change his seat and escape the hot rays of the sun. Diligently calculating with pencil in one hand and mopping the sweat from his brow with the other, the boy slowly raised his head at Mr. Webb's query and replied, What sun?” Mary had a little “5”, Her report card didn't go home, And when teacher found it out To detention Mary 'd roam. New Englanders talk through their nose which is better than some people who talk through their hat. 64 The English room was quiet as the students were busy studying until one fellow started to read out loud, emphasizing the passage, “То be or not to be—.” “Who said that?” suddenly demanded the teacher. “Hamlet!” volunteered one student who received his detention notice amid the chuckles of his class- mates. In the 4B chemistry term every student is required to make some laughing gas as part of an experiment— and incidentally, no one is expected to inhale any of the so-called nitrous oxide. There usually is one stu- dent every term, however, etc., etc. Nevertheless, Mr. Sinclair relates how the fellow went through a seres of breathing exercises over the generator and the gas took effect. Ha, Ha, Ha!” came the silly laugh from the other side of the room as the youth was suddenly struck by the humor of his fountain pen. A test tube was the funniest thing he ever saw, judging by his hilarious laughter. Consequently he spent the rest of the day with Mr. Sinclair where he laughed at every- thing. H. G. Wells defines a genius as a crazy man, but that does not imply that every crazy man is a genius. Never in all my life have I received so many bribes as I have this past term, confessed the PIVOT editor to a close friend, and never, he continued, “have I turned down so many. The close friend moved closer. “Well, now what do you want me to say about you, asked the PIVOT editor as her eyes dazzled, her hair shone, and the air became closer.

NEWARK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING SPEAKING: How do you like our new building which is erected 'djacent to you? Our college has reason to be proud, tor although but six years of age, it already has felt ‘he need of a new recitation hall. The building con- “маз large laboratories, class and faculty rooms and ?n the fourth floor is a large gymnasium. We cele- rated the opening of the gym in January by a basket- hall vietory over our natural rival, Cooper Union In- ‘Mute of Technology and also by the annual Sopho- more Dance, In connection with basketball, we 65 might say that the captain of our Varsity 5, Ed Weinstein, is the brother of the captain of your Var- sity 11, Sol Weinstein. We receive the PIVOT each month. We find it both sprightly and interesting. Your anniversary number was especially good. We hope you like our paper “Т� е Newark Technician,” for although small, we try to make it as interesting as possible. By the way, six Central graduates of 1926 are listed on our college roster. GRADUATING ATHLETES With the class of May 1927 are graduating six stellar athletes, namely: Sol Weinstein, Frank Mar- toccio, Mickey Malkin, Matthew Tucker, Red Rap- paport and Anthony Martino. Sol Weinstein, 1926 football captain, has partici- pated in three major sports for the last four seasons. His first season on the gridiron in 1923 found him an understudy to Art Lustig. He was regular center on the '24, '25 and captained the '26 teams. He was a varsity third baseman during the '25 season and in the next two years alternated at pitcher and third base. Frank “Тос” Martoccio is one of our quiet athletes, and one of the best ball players in the history of the He played on the '23, '24, and '25 baseball school. squads, excelled as a batter and base stealer, leading the team in those departments for two successive years. Mickey Malkin entered Central in '24, and came into prominence immediately. He was an understudy to Burnett when the team won the state championship, but nevertheless earned a letter in his first season at Central. The '25 and '26 seasons saw him playing a steady game at quarterback. Malkin was a running guard on the '26 and '27 basketball squads and cap- tain of the '25 second team. Red Rappaport achieved some success as a pole vaulter, winning the city junior title in this event in '25. He also won his basketball letter in '27. Anthony Martino is a steady trackman having com- di. SUL... peted in several meets. BASEBALL Central's outlook for a very successful season in baseball this year seems very bright Under Mr. Schneider's critical eye, the candidates are working harder than ever to earn a permanent berth on the team. Workouts for the catchers and pitchers have been going on during the entire month of March and Our coach has many Among promising material is abundant. veterans to help him who serve as a nucleus. them are Sol Wienstein, Teddy Entner and Higgins on the pitching staff; Harry Eagles in the infield; Jim Santoro, Sol Marder and Peter Durie in the outfield; while “Zeke” Bromberg and Ernie Schilling are still here as catchers. The outstanding new candidates out are Jack Hart- ford, Frank Eagles, Jack and Will Feldman, and Warren Wolf. —M. M.

But the schedule may be called a successful one in lieu of the victory over St. Benedicts, the prep champions of New Jer- wy Captain Moe Zimetbaum was the individual star ot the season, scoring 60 field goals and 34 foul shots tor a total of 154 points. He was well assisted by lort Dvores, Sol Weinstein, Mickey Malkin, Joe chutz and Max Yanowitz. In the first game of the season we lost to East Side but triumphed over Bayonne in the next game. In the following seven contests, we lost six and tied one. lhe victors, Neptune, Battin, New Brunswick, East Side, Morristown and Madison, in each case won by a о� е or two point margin. GIRLS’ We are glad to welcome back Miss Maynard, and � оре that she has fully recovered from her illness. While Miss Maynard was away, the girls had an able instructor in Miss Hilfman, who with the assistance of Miss Kaufman (of the upstairs gym) coached the zırls so well that in the City Meet on January 15, held at Barringer High School, Central took second Place, yielding first place to East Side High School. Central was conceded little chance of topping St. Benedicts, but the all-around fighting spirit displayed, lead by Zimetbaum, who accounted for 18 of the 24 points, forced upon the Gray Bees their only defeat of the season. We returned to our losing ways, dropping two hard fought games, one to Morristown which required two extra periods, and the other to Asbury Park. Then followed wins over South Side, Columbia and Plain- field and a loss to South Side and Madison on the play-off. We were eliminated by New Brunswick, 21-15, in our first tournament game after a stiff battle. Our season record stands: five wins, twelve defeats and one tie. —S. W. SPORTS There is a growing tendency among the girls to take more interest in athletics, for in the meet there were sixteen. girls who entered the pentathlon. This con- s ists of five events: basketball shots, rope climping, obstacle race, standing broad jump, and long distance basketball throw. In the tumbling event Central's girl stars shone, for May Gebauer took second place and Anna Stein, fourth. TRIBUTE It is very seldom that a school has the honor of boasting of a super-athlete as one of its own. Yet Central has had quite a few of these athletic geniuses and the latest to come into the public eye is Isadore Wasserman. A young fellow, slight in stature, but extraordinarly well developed, he is the foremost gym- nast in school-boy ra nks today. Machery, is, by the way, the city's foremost expert in the art of gymnastics. In the city meet held recently at Barringer, he won four first. places and two second places for a total of twenty-three points; thus single-handed, winning the city meet. In the Newark Academy meet, he won two first places, received a tie for first, and one second ISADORE WASSERMAN Wasserman's career has been, up-to-date, short, and sweet. The smiling wonder received his early train- ing at Avon Grammar School, and from there he trav- eled to Madison Junior High School, where, under the exacting tutelage of our present coach of track activi- ties, Mr. Bauer, he became quite proficient in tumbling and on the horizontal bars. not seem quite enough for his ambitious aspirations and he attended Morton Evening School. to obtain the benefit of Mr. Machery's Mr. But even this training did expert advice. 68 In the Young Men's A. A. U. Meet, held at New York, Wassy won the tumbling event, and became the Metropolitan champion. At the State Interscholastic meet, held at Dickinson, he won three first places, and one second. This made him all-round State champion. It is the opinion of gymnastic coaches in this vicinity that Wasserman is the best all-around scholastic gym- nast ever developed in this section. place. —M. M. OUTDOOR TRACK [he coming outdoor season promises to be one of ihe most successful in the track history of Central. -With all of last year's championship team back, Coach Bauer should experience little difficulty in developing a strong squad. l Besides the several veterans of last year there are several new candidates of promising ability on hand. mong the veterans are Mat Tucker, former National Indoor 220 yard champion; Ted Kirshman, quarter- miler and furlong sp rinter; McKenzie, quarter-miler and half-miler; Ted Entner, shot putter and javelin thrower, and Anthony Martino, another of our crack 440 yard men. Among the juniors of last year are Joe Longo, city junior sprint champion; Choko, city junior broad-jump champion; Bokash, our best pole vaulter, and Brown, promising middle distance runner. In the mile run the outstanding candidates are Sam Max, Isadore Gladstone, Michael Bruss, Anthony Bruss, and Anthony De Munno. In the quarter-mile run we have Knockles, Galambus, and Gannon. Mar- shall, Grover, and Louis are the three best hurdlers. [he outstanding sprinters of the squad are Robinson, Fields. and Tannenbaum, The shot putters who are showing great form are Bayer, Malkin, and Williams, who aiso throws the. javelin. The Penn Relays is the first meet scheduled for the season. Following are the South Side Invitation meet, City Championship and the Columbia Meet in New York. Manager Nerenberg has also arranged several duel meets with local schoo!s. —A. M. FENCING TEAM ‘The old romantic spirit entered into the annals of our athletics when fencing was introduced into Central High School. Anthony Scafati, fencing star, or- ganized a team which promises to lead in this ancient sport. The team elected Nicholas Molinare, the Cen- tral cheer leader as their manager. Their first bout with the Essex Fencing Team proved victorious for the Centralities. A match with the Madison Avenue ‘Team of New York City ended in another victory for Scafati’s prodigies. When the announcement was made that a bout with Barringer was to take place, Central's fencing team rooters turned en masse to support their team. The match was held in our gym. The Barringer team came out victorious by one point. The spectators were treated to dancing after the bout. Scafati is an applicant for the Olympic champion- ships. He is preparing himself for a trip to Italy prior to entering the Olympic games. The fencing team is made up of the following: Captain Anthony Scafati; Dion Porzio, and Har- old Dibblee. The Central seconds have had several successful bouts and promise to bring Central to the fore next —A. M. season. RIFLE TEAM On March 18, shooting on the range of the Boys' Vocational School, the Central High School Rifle team lost their first official match to the team of the Doys' Vocational School. The match was run off in the prone position. The members of the Central team finished in the following order: Matten, Bendel, Gomitzky, Storozuk, Holmberg. Numerous other matches are to be booked with other schools and outside teams. Last February a practice match was held between the Central team and the Essex Troopers of the Rose- No official instructions were followed Nor- ville Armory. and the troopers won by a very small margin. man Bendell is the present captain of the team. --А.

The secretary, Leora Casperson, carries the letters to the post office where Melvin Rus- sel is Post Master. Malkin and Martino travel the mailman's round and deliver the mail. The night of the Alumnae get-together has arrived. A trolley car operated by Norman Davis crashes into McLelland's ice truck and a doctor in the trolley, Morris Plisner, rushes to the aid of the injured driver. Max Fink, star reporter, takes notes of the accident while Mr. Moynihan, police chief, questions the wit- nesses, Ed Varga, Matthew Tucker, Sarah Stark and Beatrice Jungerman. It is decided that the matter will be placed in the hands of the city attorney, Mr. Filipowicz, who will be assisted in the case by his lawyer-wife, Sylvia Eidenbaum. An ambulance driven by Martoccio finally arrives with Joe Bianco as aid. When they reach the hospital they are rushed to the emergency ward by Morris Bennett, the eleva- tor man, who summons Biener, the janitor, to dust the room. Two pretty nurses attend the patient, Anna Kaslow and Helen Entner, and the hospital doctor. Sam Chinsky, is called in. All others arrive safely at the Central auditorium except Mabel Huebner, McLelland's wife, who rushes to the hospital in a taxi driven by James Egan. Louis Klein, the principal, loudly outlines the value of clean- lines, and Nick Molinare, the city's foremost radio announcer, leads the crowd with some old Central yells. Music follows, lead by Arthur Smith, the singing teacher. A few solos by Mme. Taxier, Mil Silverman, Sonya Salb, and John Brasser are ren- dered. In the orchestra we see Milt Jacoby with his trusty trumpet and Irwin Mand with his noisy saxo- phone. The faculty of the school includes Delle Sil- berlat, head of the math. department, Charles Hart, biology teacher, and Sam Raffaelo, physics instructor. Pretty Frieda Halpern, present dean of Bryn Mawr and chairman of the refreshment committee, starts things by serving some of the latest Longo Longo Ice Cream with lucious cream puffs fresh from the ovens of the Zillmier Baking Company. Down in the front row, as usual, we find Esther Kievsky together with Jennie Snyderman who wears her clothes just as gracefully as when she attended school. And there is Ruth Clancy, who after marrying an aviator, Hymen Cohan, became a slim damsel. Frieda Keenberg, chairman of surprises, pushes down the aisle Old Doc Smith in a wheel chair. He feebly stretches out his hands and sends forth peal after peal of beautiful chords from the organ while Abe Friedman and Phil Schectman explain to their neighbors how much they contributed to the fund while in Central. A gong sounds and we all stroll to the gym and view a splendid dancing exhibition by Rae Fox, Marie Slominski, Beatrice Stein and Pearl Todaro. The gym instructors, Ernie Schilling and Justine Wendell- ing, show their old school chums about, keeping a wary eye on Warren Wolff, the present gym instructor at Princeton.

His early education was at Central High School, (no, not our school) in Springfield, Mass. He was a rather bright student there. While at college Mr. Packard tried to gain some popularity by going in for football. After many attempts to get on his class team he was rejected because of his short height, but, it is odd to say, he played on the college team, and received his letter. At graduation he was awarded a scholarship prize for Greek. Mr. Packard said that he enjoyed teaching French and Latin at Country Day School, Newton, Mass. ; Ashville School, Ashville, North Carolina; and Rob- ert Treat Evening School. At Suffex Academy, Suf- fex, Conn., he was football and baseball coach. Mr. Packard's hobby is driving his car. During vacation time he takes many interesting trips. He de- clined to tell us whether or not he is married. Then we came upon Mr. Coleman. He said he was willing to do anything for the boys and girls of Central, so that he would oblige us with any informa- In order to do so we Some of the questions we Have you ever had anything humorous happen to you when you were a boy? tion we would care to have. had to ask him questions. put before him are: Yes, listening to a mule bray on a farm. How many years have you been teaching? “Seventeen long years. Have you taught in other than high schools? No, only high school boys and girls. Who do you enjoy teaching better, the boys or girls? Well, that all depends. He would rather teach ten bad boys than ten bad girls because he could always fight it out with a boy but all the girl seems to say is because. She is never able to fight it ош.” (Some knock, girls, how about proving it to him the next time?) “Do you teach anything else besides biology and science?” “Yes, commercial geography and economics at night school (Here is some side information I picked up from one of Mr. Coleman's night school pupils who was standing by). Mir. Coleman is a very in- teresting and intellectual teacher. He adds humor to his teaching which keeps the class from falling asleep. 74 When one gets a laugh in Mr. Coleman's class, he gets a good one. At the close of the night school term Mr. Coleman gave a party for his class and they all had an enjoyable time. “Where do you spend your summer vacation?” “The summer before last I was at Bermuda and last summer at Florida. Mr. Coleman works all year round, including vacation time. He sells insurance. Have you a hobby?” “ОҺ yes, plenty of them. I enjoy raising ten pet hens home, I enjoy taking care of my garden, washing my car, white washing the cellar, and last but not least selling insurance. Mr. Coleman is friendly to everyone and very ob- liging. Too bad we didn't have time to ask him more questions. Miss Axtell went to Morristown High School and then to Trenton State Normal. After graduating from normal school she went to Pratt Institute Normal Domestic Science. Here is something nice Miss Axtell said about Cen- tral. “There is no place in Newark to be compared with Central as a place to leam Domestic Science. (In case you do not know, Miss Axtell happens to be our cooking teacher. Now, do you wonder she said that?) About two years ago Miss Axtell was given a year's leave of absence, whereupon she chose a trip around the world. She sailed by way of the Panama Canal to California, making stops at Panama, Mexico, and Central America. From San Francisco she sailed for Honolulu. Five months were spent in that “Рата- dise of the Pacific. From Honolulu she went to Japan, China, the Philippines, Strait Settlements, Bei- muda, India (the land of white elephants), Palestine. Greece and Egypt. (Just imagine Miss Axtell on a camel or an elephant on the deserts). The last three months were spent in a tour of Europe. Hawaii, Miss Axtell said, is the ideal place in which to make a home. (Girls, in case you have not decided as yet, where to spend your honeymoon, there's some good advice from one who knows). Miss Axtell returned just one year and two weeks from the day she started. Since he was eight years old, Mr. Grifhth has been an ardent art student. Besides attending the Normal School at Cortlandt, New York, where he lived, he was tutored outside of school. Mr. Griffith. received his first position in East Orange as departmental teacher of art. He resigned to study at Pratt Institute from where he was gradu- ated. All this time Mr. Griffth was still studying art privately. (My, but he sure did like to study). [hen he taught in Cornell during the summer and later he established art in the High School of Com- merce in Cleveland. At this time he passed the ex- amination for inspector of drawing for the State of New York but resigned before he started to work. Do you want to know why? It's easy to guess. Just because Central High School opened and he came here to teach. Now wasn't that nice? Mr. Griffith took many trips abroad, but would not tell exactly how many because he did not like to boast (of course he did not say it exactly in those words, but he meant just that.) Mr. Griffith is one of those teachers who have been in Central for 15 years, since it opened. When asked how he liked working at Central he replied that if he didn't like it he wouldn't stay, but enjoyed com- ing in contact with the young people. He also said that many great artists of today are Central graduates. We found Miss Lavers busy marking papers in 208 but she was very pleasant in giving us some re- quested information. She attended many co-educa- tional schools including one in Europe. At college she was champion debater. Miss Lavers is àn ardent golf fan, and played the game at Saratoga during the Easter vacation. The first time Miss Lavers went canoeing she suddenly decided that she was out too far and she stepped out of the canoe into the water and down she went. When asked what Romeo rescued her she laughed and answered that she paddled herself ashore. Miss Lavers declined an offer of $5,000 to debate in a European college. A little later her plans of going to India to teach were shattered because her brother became very ill. Her favorite hobby is belonging to International Relations clubs. At present she is a member of six organizations in Orange, Montclair and New Jersey. After completing ten years of teaching, Miss Lavers hopes to continue the vocation in Persia. Mr. Webb, head of the Mathematics Department, is especially interested in Mathematical Philosophy. He believes there is a close connection between mathe- matics and religion, and has been giving occasional talks on this subject before clubs and normal classes. Mr. Webb argues, in brief, that those elements enter- ing into human thought and behavior which are sub- versive of religion have their basis in ignorance, and that much of the current Scientific opposition to religion is based upon a very bad science. Science, he claims, “15 not true science excepting in so far as it is mathematical. There is a whole field of useful knowledge which is neither religious nor scientific, but consists of practical rules for self-protection and self- improvement. These, however, are frequently aban- doned with increasing knowledge, other rules taking their places. “These in their lower forms are called supersti- tions. With wider knowledge the newer ideas are sometimes called scientific discoveries. It often hap- pens, however, that superstitions receive confirmation while scientific laws turn out to be false. “They should not affect one's religious belief at all, and they are not sufficiently mathematical to be truly scientific. When all is said that can be said for pure science, the human race still needs the power of religion for encouragement, for guidance, and for the development of self-restraint. Without religion there can be no true optimism. It took us a long time to get in touch with Mr. Murray at a time when he wasn't busy. He spent his childhood days in Denver, Col., attending the Denver Grammar School. He traveled all over the world, not for pleasure, but for education. Mr. Murray never expected to become a teacher because at one time he thought it was the worst position ob- tainable. “Do you teach the technical course because you do not like girls? we asked. “Why of course not. 1 like girls all right. I used to have some in my classes a number of years ago but no more now, was his reply. Do you enjoy teaching? we asked. “Well, it all depends upon my work—but when I have an intelligent, attentive class, I find it very in- teresting.” Mr. Murray is faculty adviser of the Technical Club. We came upon Miss Rosecrans just as she was leaving the lunch room. She was full of pep and ready to tell us all we wanted to know. We asked her if she had anything exciting happen to her while she was out of Central the past year, “No,” she told us, there was nothing exciting about taking care of her mother and doing the cooking at the same time. Miss Rosecrans is a fine cook and she certainly makes some good candy. She took a course in candy making and is very proud of her diploma. (Hereafter we'll have to get her to make the refreshments for Fresh- man Rally). Her home town is in Dryden, New York, just ten miles from Cornell. Miss Rosecrans told us that when she was a little girl her vacations were spent at Owasca Lake. It is а part of the Finger Lakes in the Central part of New York. She did quite a bit of rowing there, but said that her hobby was fishing. We asked her if she could tell us any fish stories? Her reply was only a smile. Miss Rosecrans has been faculty adviser for the Girls’ Service Club since it was organized in the spring of 1914. She enjoys teaching the girls and boys (who are interested enough in typewriting and stenog- raphy) at Central. Miss Rosecrans says that she hopes her next long trip will be either Alaska or Canadian Rockies. We found Mr. Stout very busy, but not too busy to give us some information for the PIVOT. He volunteered the information that he was born at an early period of his existence in Ohio. Mr. Stout attended Mt. Union College at Alliance, Ohio, where he received his B. C. S., and later hıs L. L. B. at the University of Louisville, Louisville, Ky. Here Mr. Stout stopped short and asked us to question him. The following are the questions asked and answers received. “Where do you usually spend your summer vaca- tion?” I don’t. I teach all year.” “But you do have two weeks’ vacation, what then?” “Oh, then I go camping. I have been all over the United States in my саг.’ (It seems odd, but all the teachers go driving during their vacation). Can you relate a humorous incident at any time during your life? No, my life was serious, all the way through. But, (after some hesitation) if you think the thrashings I received at school as a boy were funny, I didn't think so—at any time. (We didn't dare ask why he received those thrashings.) What do you think of the PIVOT? “А very good high school paper.” How do you like teaching in Central [ enjoy my work here immensely. Married? mi: sw Children? “Yes, one. Anything else you want to know?” No, thank you. “Fine—call again.” BOYS' FRESHMEN RALLY On Friday afternoon, March 25, the Boys' Service Club under the leadership of Mr. Michael Conovitz, of our faculty, extended their greetings to the fresh- men and new sophomores by entertaining them. The Boys' Service Club Orchestra under the leadership of Milton Jacoby rendered several selections. Salvatore DiConstanzi, the orchestra pianist, rendered a few solos. Mr. Webb and Mr. Conovi tz spoke in behalf of the school. Wasserman and his troupe of athletes distinguished themselves by performing some thrilling stunts on the parallel bars, mats, rings, and horizontal bar. Scafatti had two of his boys give a fencing match. The afternoon closed with the serving of re- freshments. ARCHON CLUB [he officers for the term are: Violet Webb President - Louis Rosenhoft Vice-President Diana Ellis , Secretary Anna Kloss Treasurer Richard Sulter Sergeant-at-Arms The Archon Club is composed of all students who have never failed in any major subject, and who have been in Central for at least three terms. The purpose of the club is to encourage and stimu- late better scholarship. The club awards honor roll pins to all students who have a rating of 8 in each major subject, and at least 7 in each minor sub- ject for every term they have been in Central. “Archon Certificates are awarded by the club to graduates who are members of the Archon Club. This term the club has an excellent plan that is to be used for the benefit of the students. In the past many graduates discovered that they did not have enough credits to enter the college of their choice. In order to correct this misunderstanding, the club has formed a committee whose plan is to have the mem- bers write to the leading colleges and request the in- formation conceming the courses offered, requirements or credits needed for the courses, tuition fees, and the cost of living for a year. The president of the club reports that letters are coming in daily giving the in- formation that the students of Central request. The Archon Club is to be congratulated for the fine work it is doing, and for the excellent work it has done in the past. —Mabel Huebner. 101 A. M.— Wechsler, Irving 101 P.

THE BRANFORD PARTY On Monday evening, April 4, a theater party was held by the Boys’ and Girls’ Service Clubs at the Branford. The proceeds of the affair went to the scholarship fund established in Central. Tickets for the performance were sold by Service Club members and managers and captains of various athletic teams. Approximately one thousand nine hundred and sixty tickets were sold. LJ Everyone who attended the theater party had «a wonderful time. The feature was Harry Langdon in Long Pants , and Don Alvin entertained with a stage presentation. The best and most surprising event of the evening was the performance of the Boys' Service Club Orchestra. SES LN ER jA (1 E Wi М We dl TER NAA TA AG CASS 101 A. M. Levit, Dora ...
